Hey folks, looking for suggestions on what to add to a 23L (5gal) wheat beer kit to give it a bit of a Hoegaarden profile. It's a full-wort bag kit so I'd assume to make a 'tea' containing some orange / coriander?
Any guesses to amounts? Probably could take a 'beer of that style' and do a scaled-down guess and go from there.
Or I suppose I could freeze a couple oranges and campden them up, then just make a coriander tea addition.
I use fresh oranges in most of my Wheat's since I have a bunch of orange trees. just boil about a quart of water on the stove cool it donw a few degrees, cut open some oranges, add the juice and insides to your pan of water. the skin the peel with a potato peeler, add to the water. then dump it all into your fermenter with your wort. makes a great beer

Associated Press
PHOENIX — Running out of outs, Adam Jones and the United States suddenly broke loose and saved themselves from a humbling loss.
Now, thanks to a fast finish, they're heading to Miami for the next round of the World Baseball Classic.
Jones doubled in the tying and go-ahead runs in the eighth inning, Eric Hosmer hit a three-run double in the ninth and the U.S. scored seven times in the last two innings to beat Canada 9-4 on Sunday.
"Words can't describe it," Hosmer said, recalling how he felt standing on second after his big hit. "It is hard to hold your emotions right there. It is just an unbelievable feeling and when you hear the crowd chant 'USA' and the other crowd chanting 'Canada.' It is an unbelievable experience."
The winner of the game moved on, the loser went home. And for a long while, it didn't look good for manager Joe Torre's team.
"It would have been embarrassing," second baseman Brandon Phillips said. "I would have been embarrassed. USA this is where baseball started and we represent our country. I just feel that if we had lost we didn't do our job. We have to go out there and try to be the first American team to win the WBC. That is our goal."
"We believed in ourselves and turned it around," Phillips said, "and that is a beautiful thing."
VENEZUELA 11, SPAIN 6: At San Juan, Puerto Rico, Miguel Cabrera and Pablo Sandoval hit consecutive home runs for Venezuela on Sunday in an 11-6 victory over Spain that came too late to matter at the World Baseball Classic.
Venezuela, which finished 1-2 in Group C, was eliminated from the competition Saturday night with a 6-3 loss to Puerto Rico.
Venezuela had more hits Sunday (16) than in its first two games combined. Cabrera went 3 for 5 with three RBIs and scored three runs. Omar Infante also had three hits and Elvis Andrus knocked in two runs.
Cabrera and Sandoval connected in the eighth inning.
JAPAN 16, NETHERLANDS 4: At Tokyo, Two-time defending champion Japan hit a record-tying six home runs Sunday to overpower the Netherlands 16-4 and advance to the championship round of the World Baseball Classic.
Hayato Sakamoto hit a grand slam in the seventh to make it 16-4 and the game was called under the 10-run mercy rule when the Netherlands failed to close the gap in the bottom of the inning.
NO SUSPENSIONS COMING: At Phoenix, The World Baseball Classic has decided no one will be suspended from the nasty brawl between Canada and Mexico.
The organizers said in a statement Sunday that while the mayhem "runs counter to the spirit of sportsmanship and respectful competition," suspensions would not be appropriate because both did not advance to the second round.
The brawl began in the ninth inning Saturday when Canada's Rene Tosoni was hit by a pitch from Mexico's Arnold Leon after Canadian Chris Robinson reached on a bunt single.

Who do people pick on?
They're picking out people who are different.
Well mostly I see like… the dweebs, the spazes…
Michael Carpenter takes bullying very seriously.
Will beat you up after school today…creating fear
In fact, he's on a mission to reverse the trend-
Stand here if you are a supporter.
Frequently leading education workshops like this one to teach children about their options should they become a victim or see someone else being bullied.
Like bullies are cowards and like they never pick on someone the same size or the same power as them…
Kids who are more physically or psychologically vulnerable are those most likely to fall prey to ridicule or violence.
They don't feel good about themselves usually. They may be extra sensitive about some things. They may look different. Their perception is different.
They said I was ugly. They called me fat… and they said my hair was always crazy.
So the old adage 'sticks and stones'?
Oh please…yes sticks and stones. So what do girls tells us? Girls tell us that they would rather be hit and kicked physically than to be ostracized or excluded.
In recent years the practice has even infected social media … with terms like cyber bullying becoming common.
Meaning bullying isn't limited to just physical assault, but includes exclusion, name-calling, gossip, rumor and lies …
Bullying is repeated, intentional and power-based behaviors.
Have you ever been bullied before?
uh yes…a lot.
Did you feel alone?
Well…of course.
Experts say it's essential for responsible adults to gain the trust of kids they suspect are being victimized-even getting their advice on how to handle the situation.
Who's doing the bullying? It's often the most popular kids…
They have people backing them up. They feel better about what they do because they've got people helping them.
You all are in a position called 'the defenders', you dislike what you see and you're trying to help.
Programs like this encourage on-lookers to do something other than watch… or worse…egg-on an assault…
If somebody gets their books knocked down in the hallway and someone else comes by and
Kicks them, how much courage does it take to help pick up some books and hand it to the person?
But directly confronting the person who bullies is not recommended. Instead, Carpenter persuades kids to keep a detailed record of events…
Write down what's happening, where it's happening, when it's happening, who's doing it, any witnesses.
Take that log to someone that you trust—a school administrator, a counselor, a teacher and say this is what's going on with me…please help me.

Schools move to make up days lost to cold
Tasked with deciding whether it's too cold or snowy for school, the Wadena-Deer Creek superintendent tracks the weather like a farmer during growing season:
"All the time," Lee Westrum said. "I just get into the habit of it."
Sometimes, he's able to make a decision the night before school. Most often, he's up before dawn, communicating with other area superintendents and the district's transportation director to see if it's safe for the buses to operate.

National Forum on Climate Change Glossary Selected Climate Change Terms and Acronyms By National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE), 2006 http://www.nrtee-trnee.ca/eng/programs/ArchivedPrograms/Climate_change/climatechange_glossary_e.htm Climate may be defined as a composite of the long-term prevailing weather in a particular place. It includes all the elements of that weather temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns, for example. Climate change refers to changes in the climate as a whole, not just one single element of the weather. Global climate change, therefore, refers to changes in all the interconnected weather elements of the Earth. adaptation: the process by which an organism or species becomes adjusted to its environment. In the context of climate change, adaptation refers to the adjustments inhabitants of the earth would need to make in the face of inevitable, irreversible changes. These adjustments would be made primarily at the local climate level. If mitigation measures were able to reduce the scale of change or extend the length of time over which it occurs, adaptation would be much easier. (See mitigation.) Annex 1 Parties: refers to OECD countries and those making the transition to a market economy, such as Russia and the former East Bloc countries, who are signatories to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (see also Framework Convention on Climate Change) anthropogenic: from the Greek root anthropos, meaning "man". Anthropogenic means human- induced or human-caused. anthropogenic emissions: greenhouse gas emissions that arise from human activities biomass: the total amount or mass of living organisms within a given surface area biosphere: the total of all areas on Earth -- even the deep ocean and part of the atmosphere -- where organisms are found carbon cycle: the cycle in which carbon moves through the biosphere, involving the exchange of carbon between the oceanic and terrestrial ecosystems, on the one hand, and the atmosphere, on the other. Scientists are seeking to understand the fluxes to and from these major carbon cycle reservoirs and how they respond to climate change. To do so, it is also necessary to understand why about half the carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere as a result of fossil fuel combustion and deforestation is accumulating in the atmosphere while the other half is held in other reservoirs such as the oceans or plants. (See also carbon dioxide (CO2), fossil fuels and sinks.) carbon dioxide (CO2): recognized as the principal contributor to increasing atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases and therefore to global warming (see greenhouse gases). Society's use of energy is the largest factor in this carbon dioxide generation. Carbon dioxide is produced by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. It is removed from the atmosphere through ocean absorption and through photosynthesis by growing plants. Conference of the Parties (COP): refers to the meetings of the countries that have signed the Framework Convention on Climate Change. COP is the supreme body of the convention. It currently meets once a year to review the Convention's progress. The first COP was held in Berlin in 1995, the second in Geneva in 1996. The Kyoto, Japan meeting held in December 1997 was the third Conference of Parties (COP3). (See also Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol.) coverage: the extent to which legally binding targets encompass various greenhouse gases, anthropogenic sources, and sinks (see anthropogenic, greenhouse gases and sinks) differentiation: a term used in the Framework Convention on Climate Change, differentiation refers to the setting of different emissions reduction targets and timetables for individual countries rather than the setting of one flat rate for all countries in order to factor in countries' circumstances climate, size, population growth and economy, for example. The targets set under the Kyoto Protocol are differentiated. (See also Kyoto Protocol.) emissions banking and borrowing: when emissions reductions by a country in a given period can be applied against its emissions in the future, or when a country can borrow from future periods to offset excess emissions in a current period. These terms are defined under the Framework Convention on Climate Change. emissions trading: a system that would allow countries that have committed to targets to "buy" or "sell" emissions permits among themselves. Emissions trading is included in the Kyoto Protocol. It provides participating parties with the opportunity to reduce emissions where it is most cost-effective to do so. (See also Kyoto Protocol.) entry into force: protocols and amendments are not legally binding until they have been ratified by an agreed number of countries. The Framework Convention on Climate Change, for example, required 50 and entered into force for each party 90 days after that party ratified. The Kyoto Protocol includes what is called a "double trigger": the Protocol will enter into force once 55 countries accounting for at least 55% of developed countries' current greenhouse gas emissions have ratified the Protocol. flexibility provisions: provisions that provide countries with maximum flexibility in how their emission reduction targets can be achieved in the most cost-effective way. These might include, for example, joint implementation, emissions banking, and emissions trading. fossil fuels: a collective term for coal, petroleum and natural gas, which are used for energy production through combustion. They are called fossil fuels because they are made of fossilized, carbon-rich plant and animal remains. These remains were buried in sediments millions of years ago and, over geological time, have been converted to their current state. Fossil fuels can be extracted from the sediments by humans millions of years after their deposition and their stored energy can be used as fuel when it is burned. Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC): the agreement signed by 154 countries, including Canada, at the Earth Summit in Rio in June 1992, under which climate change is discussed globally. Developed countries agreed to aim to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2000. The FCCC established a framework of general principles and institutions and set up a process through which governments can meet regularly. global warming: strictly speaking, the natural warming and cooling trends that the Earth has experienced all through its history. However, the term global warming has become popularized as the term that encompasses all aspects of the global warming problem, including the potential climate changes that will be brought about by an increase in global temperatures. greenhouse effect: the process by which heat accumulates in the Earth's atmosphere instead of being released out into space. This process occurs naturally and keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life. Scientific evidence shows human activity is intensifying this natural process. The greenhouse effect produced by different gases depends not just on the amount of the gas in the atmosphere at present, expected future emissions, and the lifetime of individual molecules in the gas. It is also dependent to a very large extent on how effective the gas is in absorbing radiation. greenhouse gases (GHGs): carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These gases together absorb the earth's radiation and warm the atmosphere. Some greenhouse gases occur naturally but are also produced by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels. When greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere, they have an impact on climate and weather patterns. They are usually measured in carbon dioxide equivalents. The United Nations says the GHGs mostly responsible for causing climate change are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the IPCC is the authoritative international body charged with studying climate change. The IPCC surveys the worldwide technical and scientific literature on climate change and publishes assessment reports. Its widely quoted 1995 report found that "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate." Joint Implementation (JI): the concept that, through the Framework Convention on Climate Change, a developed country is involved in emissions projects projects that result in a real, measurable and long-term reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions in a developing country. In its pilot phase, launched at the first COP in 1995, JI is called Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ). The developed country cannot earn emissions credits during this pilot phase, which ends in 1999. Kyoto Protocol : the international agreement emerging from COP3, held in December 1997. Under the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Canada agreed to cut greenhouse gases to six percent below 1990 levels, to be reached between 2008 and 2012. methane (CH4): one of the three major greenhouse gases responsible for climate change (see greenhouse gases). Although there is less methane than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, methane is a more effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas. The IPCC estimates that the global warming potential of methane is 21 times that of carbon dioxide. Methane comes from the decay of matter without the presence of oxygen. Human activities such as rice cultivation, the rearing of some farm animals (see ruminants), biomass burning, coal mining and natural gas venting are increasing the input of methane into the atmosphere. mitigation: the term used to cover measures that seek to avoid, reduce or delay global warming by reducing those emissions of atmospheric gases that are of human origin or within human control nitrous oxide (N2O): one of the three major greenhouse gases responsible for climate change (see greenhouse gases). Soils and oceans are the primary natural sources of nitrous oxide. Humans contribute to nitrous oxide emissions through soil cultivation and the use of nitrogen fertilizers, nylon production and the burning of organic material and fossil fuels. Combustion and biomass burning are sources of nitrous oxide emissions. Agricultural practices may stimulate emissions of nitrous oxide from soils and play a major role in the build-up of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. ppmv: a unit of measure, parts per million by volume, often used in climate change terminology to express the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Variations include parts per billion by volume (ppbv) and parts per trillion by volume (pptv). ruminants: the group of animals that have a stomach with three or four chambers that regurgitate and rechew their food. Cattle and sheep are ruminants, as are camels, deer and goats. Second Assessment Report (SAR): this second report of the IPCC, also known as Climate Change 1995, summarizes the current state of scientific knowledge on global warming, and was written and reviewed by over 2,000 climate scientists, economists and risk assessment experts worldwide. It concludes that "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate" and confirmed the availability of "no-regrets" options and other cost-effective strategies for combating climate change. sinks: natural systems forests and wetlands, for example that absorb and store greenhouse gases weather: state or condition of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, and clearness or cloudiness for a certain period of time Sources: Canada Proposes Targets for Reductions in Global Greenhouse Emissions, Backgrounder 3: A Lexicon of Climate Change.

The Good Soldier: From Austrian Social Democracy to Communist Captivity with a Soldier of Panzer-Grenadier Division "Grossdeutschland"
Aberjona Press, 2003 - History - 153 pages
Alfred Novotny was born in Vienna on 1 April 1924, and was perfectly placed to suffer the ancient Chinese curse: ?May you live in interesting times.? His times were interesting and deadly, but that he survived them is not the greatest surprise. Rather, what stands out is that Fred never lost his compassion, nor his humanity, nor his mind. Growing up in 1930s Vienna, the former home of a young, frustrated, and fuming artist named Adolf Hitler, Fred was the stepson of a dedicated Social Democrat. As such, he grew up with a visceral and deep dislike and distrust of their rival parties, including the National Socialists, or ?Nazis.? Although the political situation in Austria throughout the 1930s was stormy, the German annexation of Austria absolutely ended effective opposition to the ?New Order.? Attracted by the superficial benefits of unity with Germany and the evident achievements of the Nazis, young Alfred gradually parted ways with his stepfather. He performed his duty to the Reich when called up for service in the Reich Labor Corps, and later proudly served in the most elite division of the German Army in World War II, Panzer-Grenadier Division "Grossdeutschland" ("Greater Germany"). From 1942 forward, Fred saw more than his share of combat. Starting with action as a member of a hurriedly-armed labor detachment in the famous British naval and commando raid at St. Nazaire, France, in March 1942, Fred later joined the Grossdeutschland Division in time to participate in some of the most well-knownand most bloody battles of the war on the Eastern Front. During the Germans? last great offensive in the Soviet Union in 1943, Fred fought at Poltava and in the titanic clash of thousands of tanks at Kursk. Wounded there, he later returned to his unit and fought in the long series of fiercely-contested defensive battles that ended only when the Soviets occupied much of eastern and central Germany and Austria. . . and when Hitler and the Thousand Year Reich were finally destroyed. Like so many members of German units, Fred was happy to surrender to the US Army at the end of the war, but under the terms of inter-Allied agreements reached months before, units which had fought only against the Soviets were turned over to the Red Army, en masse. Thus began the ordeal after the ordeal?2? years in Soviet prison camps.After being freed from captivity by the Soviets, Fred eventually escaped the old world and the old conflicts . . . and started a new life in the United States, free of the competing "isms" of Europe that had wreaked misery on millions.Supported by detailed commentary by author/historian Marc Rikmenspoel, The Good Soldier contains 62 illustrations, including original diagrams and sketches drawn before the war and during the author's captivity; comprehensive documentary authentication of the author's military service; and extensive wartime photography.

The NFC Championship game between the Seahawks and Packers was the first time I ever had the chance to attend a Seahawk playoff game. I went into the game feeling so proud of the team and very confident they would play their style of football at home. What I got instead was something so so so much more. Simply put, I'll never forget it as long as I live.
Sports have been such an instrumental thing in so much of my life. It has been an outlet for entertainment, it has kept my mind occupied in the darkest of hours, it has provided me instant conversation with friends, strangers and passersby that say "Go (insert team here)!". My passion led me to meet my future wife and create incredible friendships along the way. Much like a season, in life there will be ups and downs, regardless of win-loss outcomes, you will have grown. I grew on Sunday. My belief grew on Sunday.
I'll never be able to tell you how many games I have watched, hours I have spent watching Sportscenter, or times I worked an event… but I can tell you this, I'll never see that again. It defied my sports logic. It wasn't that I sat at Centurylink Field cursing their names or booing them off the field; it was heartbreak. This team has made fans like me all over the Continue reading

Astronauts Anonymous can't kick music habit
Group to play The Soapbox on Friday
Published: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 8:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 8:15 a.m.
Spend any time hanging out or talking with Wilmington progressive rock band Astronauts Anonymous and it becomes apparent they are family as much as they are a group of musicians. They finish each other's sentences and carry on like brothers but are actually longtime friends.
Who: Sugar Glyder, with Astronauts Anonymous, The Black Ashleys
When: 9 p.m. doors, 10 p.m. show, Friday, Aug. 17
Where: The Soapbox, 255 N. Front Street, downtown Wilmington
Tickets: $5, $8 for those under 21
Details: 251-8500, www. SoapboxLaundroLounge.
com or www.facebook.com/
Guitarist Zac Simoneau is passionate and casual. Bassist Hazley Carter is thoughtful but sublimely quick witted. Shane Nickle speaks in a voice that's kind but raspy. In person he's reserved, which is the polar opposite of the stage presence he emanates as the band's lead singer.
The band also includes guitarist Matt Evans and drummer Nic Sellers.
They talk about their upcoming album, their bipolar, sometimes jazz-fusion-injected sound and drop a few choice lines from the movie "Anchorman." Astronauts Anonymous grew out of Wilmington band Sirens for Sleeping, which went on hiatus when Simoneau left for school in Tennessee. Living in a house on top of a mountain, its attic became a refuge for Simoneau.
"I would stay up there hours and hours, sitting on a couch looking out the window fiddling around on my guitar," he said. "I had no idea I was going to move back here."
Nearly a year later he returned with songs and Sirens became Astronauts Anonymous.
Simoneau and Hazley grew up near each other in Tabor City and Chadbourn. Sellers was from that area and Evans, guitarist for local band Pretend Surprise, originally was a member of Sirens.
"When I moved back (Evans) was busy with Pretend Surprise," Simoneau said. "We needed that extra sound and he jammed (with us) and sounded perfect."
"(Carter) and I rarely play the same thing," Simoneau said. "Matt always finds middle ground, really connects the dots between us. Without Matt in our music it sounds totally different. I'd almost describe it as hollow."
Carter grew up playing music in church and high school, and later studied music at East Carolina University.
The influences of church music, jazz, playing in "terrible metal band(s)" and rural living has shaped the group, though no one particular style stands out. The Astronauts Anonymous sound is decidedly all over the place.
"In any given song we can go from laid back and subdued to just …," Carter said, before Simoneau interjected: "Bipolar. We have some hard-hitting parts almost on the edge of heavy but we're not at all a heavy band."
The band's free-flowing style is complemented by Nickle's melodic singing. Carter described how the band wrote music as Nickle sat in the corner listening. After an idea is formed, Nickle will suddenly enter the fold wanting to sing along.
"He spits out melodies like it's nothing," Carter said.
As for the band's live show, they talk about bounding into one another, Carter's bass hammering Nickle and Simoneau's floppy guitar strings poking people.
"It's freedom up there," Nickle said. "We don't want to hold anything back (but instead) give everything to the crowd and to ourselves."

"A beautiful and spacious villa surrounded by nature"
Butterfly Villa is one of several villas owned and managed by 'Peaceful Villas' and I have to say it is exactly as the company name suggests - 'Peaceful'. The Villa is situated in a tranquil spot surrounded by tropical foliage and the musical sound of wild life, especially in the morning, is simply magical.
The villa has recently been refurbished, the standard of finish is excellent and will certainly not disappoint. It is large and roomy with 4 en suite bedrooms, the lower bedroom has it's own sitting area and makes a great kids den. The inside has been cleverly designed with a couple of little sitting areas, ideal for own time and enjoying a good book. The sala at the end of the pool is a nice feature, comfortably seating 8 and is a lovely setting for dining, especially in the evening. As you would expect the villa comes fully equipped and has satellite TV, DVD, WiFi, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine.
Whilst the villa is away from the hustle and bustle it is only a 10 minute easy walk from a few good restaurants, hotels and bars. The local Fishermans restaurant serves great food and always seems to be busy, next to this restaurant is a tourist office and a couple of professional massage places offering traditional inexpensive massages.
Renting this villa was completely painless, the owner (Dave) provided a first class service, which included free use of a mobile and a free, and I must say prompt, pick up and drop of at the airport. Dave was always on hand for local advice and it was reassuring to know he lived close by to sort out any potential problems. The servicing staff, who clean and change the linen every 3 days, were friendly and polite although due to the language barrier it was not always easy to communicate. You can certainly rent this villa with confidence and will no doubt enjoy your stay here as much as we did.

"Fantastic time"
We stayed (6 of us) for a week in April. We were attending a wedding not far away. The villa was fabulous and excellent value. Very spacious, clean and up to date. The owner Dave was very helpful, picked us up gave us lots of useful info and hired us his Ford Ranger when we arrived for a reasonable price, great fun to drive around in and sit in the back! The area was nice, a couple of good local restaurants nearby. Beaches nearby weren't great but with the car you can get around the island quite easily - taxis aren't the cheap! All in all we had a great time.

Memories Of A Childhood Christmas Poem by Francis Duggan
The frost had left the windows looking gray
And no bird called at the first light of day
And the only sounds in yard at Claraghatlea
Made by cows in byre who bellowed for their hay.
And despite cold in bedroom we rose at first light
To see what Santa had left over night
And there on floor beside the Christmas tree
A present for each child in family.
My elder sisters got a doll and toy guitar
And my younger brother got his wish a toy motor car
And Santa left small tipper truck for me
That kind old man had a great memory.
A dark empty bottle by chimney place labelled 'stout'
Gave proof to us that Santa was about
Mum always told us it was only right
To leave a drink for him on Christmas night.
In the cold kitchen we played with our toys
On Christmas morn mum did not mind our noise
And her first task to build and light the fire
Whilst dad went out to feed the cows in byre.
As the fire grew hot the windows lost their gray
And from the house the coldness went away
And mother opened oven door and put turkey in to cook
And for a brief spell sat and read from book.
By 11 A.M. we were playing in back yard
The cold had ceased though frostbound ground was hard
And sparrows and robins by the back door fed
On scraps and crumbs of after breakfast bread.
Near 2 P.M. the family sat to eat
One day a year we enjoyed turkey meat
To be followed by plum pudding and tea
Our childhood Christmas light a memory.
Were I a poet then I might easily tell
Of on Christmas night in bed hearing sleigh bells
And hearing Santa ho hoing in the sky
And his reindeers snorting as he hurried by.
As we grow older in the world of men
We lose our innocence though 'child within'
Will some times wander back to childhood day
To Christmas times and games we used to play.
The frost had left the windows looking gray
And cows in byre were bellowing for hay
And though that was years ago and far away
The Childhood Christmas memories tend to stay.

Capping a rain gutter NFT channel
I want to use an aluminum rain gutter for my NFT channel. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can cap the ends of it though?
Also, I have a 75 gph water pump (EcoPlus 66) I was planning to use, since I've read that the solution in the channel should be slow-moving. Im using a 3 ft long NFT channel and will be putting 4 plants in each channel. Do you think the pump will be adequate, or will I need more gph?
Since it is aluminum perhaps you could try to bend the ends to keep the water from spilling out the upper end.
I think the 75gph pump will move enough water, I would just check to make sure it has enough power (head) to pump the nutrient up from the reservoir to the channels. Usually if you only use fresh water you can return those pumps or exchange for a more powerful.
If you direct the flow inside the tray to exit the pipe flowing away from the opening, the water should not come out the open end.
I use pvc downspout vs aluminum and stick a small end piece on "just in case" but ever since I learned that trick, backflow out the end has not happened.
also, bear in mind, with the speed of your nutrient flow, too fast is not a concern. And too slow is only a concern when you're making really long runs.
Thanks for reply. I don't think southerAG's can be beneficial in all phase (flowering, vegetative, etc.) of growing process. My friend has suggested advanced nutrients product which he used in growing process.

2013 events and travel
Having a great 2013 season so far. Attended the Richardson Electric event in April, Warbirds over Benbrook in early May at my home field in Fort Worth, SMALL Steps in late May/early June in Little Rock and Warbirds over Texas at the North Dallas RC Club in mid June.
Currently on vacation in Virginia Beach visiting son and grandson and brought along a few small models in my trusty Plano golf club case. Had some nice flying sessions with the local park flying crowd here.
Next up is a float fly sponsored by the Falcons of Lake Dallas on July 27. Always a good time. After that, I am CDing the Fort Worth Thunderbirds Summer Float Fly on Aug 3. More info here:
If you are in the area, please come out to fly or spectate!
Will update the fall events a little later.

Sitting on a plane at ORF waiting to fly back to DFW.....sigh. Plane delayed for maintenance.
Did have one funny thing happen on the trip. Ended up with a Hybrid Hyundai Sonata as a rent car on the second weekend of the visit. Interesting driving experience and a great car based on my three days of exposure to it.
Went out to fly early Saturday morning and popped the hood to charge a couple of batteries.
Hmmmmm. No 12 volt battery.....
No obvious power access under the hood, either. Decided not to experiment with the rental car and flew the four batteries I had that were already charged....
|Aug 31, 2013, 10:17 AM
The fall event season in North Texas is coming. Next up for me looks to be the Dustbowl fly in up in Holdenville, OK on Sept 14 and 15, if I can get that weekend off work.
Am all set to go to Bomber Field the following weekend on Friday and Saturday, Sept 20-21.
Working the next weekend, but will be at BEST the first weekend in Oct.
|Sep 06, 2013, 10:11 AM
If anyone from RC Groups is going to these same events, feel free to chime in and say hello, in here at at the event. Always a pleasure to meet RCG folks at any event.
I know a lot of the usual suspects from here that come to the events...
|Sep 20, 2013, 09:35 AM
Cancelled the Bomber Field trip due to the extremely poor weather forecast. Working today and will attend DEAF tomorrow instead, as the weather around DFW on Saturday is looking good!

Jayne's review

Read from January 23 to February 01, 2012
If you liked "The Hunger Games", then you will probably like this. It's kind of the same thing but in the other direction. A controlling government but they provide you with everything. I liked this story better because you get a better insight into what the character is thinking and she develops more as a character than Katniss did.

Help with plant ID
rockman50(6b SEMASS)September 13, 2010
The plant in question looks like an ornamental grass. It occurs as small clumps. The blades are wide (1/4 to 1/2 inch) and variegated. And right now, there are multiple blue/purple flower spikes emerging from the clumps. The spikes are maybe 6 inches long. The "flowers" on the spikes are very small and have a rubbery or waxy feel. Any ideas?

Fed Crackdown on Gibson Guitar Explained
Now we know why the Obama Regime put its "boot on the neck" of Gibson Guitar. It isn't about building guitars from oppressed wood; it's about politics:
One of Gibson's leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Company. The C.E.O., Chris Martin IV, is a long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to Democratic candidates and the DNC over the past couple of election cycles. According to C.F. Martin's catalog, several of their guitars contain "East Indian Rosewood." In case you were wondering, that is the exact same wood in at least ten of Gibson's guitars.
As for Gibson's political support,
Henry E. Juszkiewicz, Gibson's Chief Executive Officer, is a donor to a couple of Republican politicians. According to the Open Secrets database, Juszkiewicz donated $2000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN07) last year, as well as $1500 each to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN). Juszkiewicz also has donated $10,000 to the Consumer Electronics Association, a PAC that contributed $92.5k to Republican candidates last year, as opposed to $72k to Democrats.
The raid served no legitimate purpose. Gibson was not even accused of violating any American law, but was shut down by armed storm troopers for allegedly violating picayune procedures India wants people to follow regarding the nationality of those who work with certain wood. Indian officials have better things to do that prosecute such cases, but not our Injustice Department, which is heeding Comrade Obama's call to "punish our enemies."
The bigger government gets, the more inevitable this sort of tyranny becomes.

This weekend sunny Utrecht was filled with runners attending the Utrecht Marathon. After a two year absence, the 34th edition gathered thousands of runners in the beautiful city of Utrecht. The course started and finished at de Uithof or Science Park, which is the campus of Utrecht University.
TrendsActive has created the visual identity for Utrecht Marathon. A combination of black – with great stopping power – and Utrecht's colors of red and white the design draws immediate attention. The visual style has been translated from banners to participant numbers and flyers to the finish line.
With several distances to choose from and a beautiful route in Utrecht and it's surroundings, some of TrendsActive's colleagues and friends participated with great results!

From Philip A. McNamara, Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
On behalf of Assistant Secretary Phil McNamara, the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs is pleased to provide you with information related to this year's nomination period for the Rick Rescorla National Award for Resilience. The Rick Rescorla National Award for Resilience is the Department of Homeland Security's national resilience award for superior leadership and innovation by a non-governmental individual or organization who exemplifies the qualities and achievements of Rick Rescorla.
Richard "Rick" Rescorla was an innovator and a leader in resilience. Born in Britain and a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1967, he was a decorated Vietnam U.S. Army veteran. On 9/11, he was Vice President of Security for Morgan Stanley at their Headquarters in the World Trade Center. He personally led a massive evacuation of Morgan Stanley's 2,700 employees located in World Trade Center Tower 2, the "South Tower." All but six of Morgan Stanley's workers in the South Tower survived. Rick Rescorla was one of those who died. He was last seen walking back up the stairs to rescue more persons in the building.
Rescorla's success on September 11 in saving thousands of lives was not luck, but the result of his planning, determination, and skill. From the time of the 1993 bombing in the basement of the World Trade Center, which he had predicted in a letter to the New York Port Authority, he drilled Morgan Stanley employees in evacuation and other safety procedures. Mr. Rescorla's dedication to the safety of those under his responsibility, and the skill with which he exercised his responsibilities, are the personification of the highest standards of resilience.
This year's nomination period is from April 1 to May 1. To be eligible for the award, the nominee must be an individual legally residing in the United States or its territories who is not an employee of a government entity – including federal, state, local, tribal or territorial governments. Volunteer first responders are eligible, including firefighters, emergency medical providers, and law enforcement personnel who serve on a volunteer basis. Eligible nominees may also be organizations other than government entities based in the United States or its territories. Eligible organizations include both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.
The 2013 Rescorla Nomination Form and the DHS Press Release announcing this year's nomination period are contained within the hyperlinks.
Please distribute this information as widely as appropriate. The nomination forms and supporting materials must be returned to RescorlaAward no later than May 31 in order to be considered for recognition in 2013.
If you have any questions related to any content in this message, please contact IGA by email, DHS.IGA, or at 202-282-9310 and we will assist you with obtaining the information required.

Cool episode. Is this set up for Ahsoka's goodbye?
Certainly a good story and lots of interesting locations designed for this. Good action too in the chase.
