As you may have seen we're rolling out some new bumpers and non anime content, like Top 10 lists and soon we'll have some "Behind The Scenes" clips from our trips to the Japanese studios.
So we want to know:
Do you like watching these?
Is there anything you're really interested in seeing?
Also, we're trying to keep the commercials as relevant to fans as possible. How are you liking the RightStuf, NamcoBandai and IGN commercial spots?

Those commercials are fine. We just need different ones.
I keep seeing the same RightStuf (granted, I think that's literally the ONLY commercial they've EVER had) and IGN commercials over and over again. I know you're probably limited to what the companies give you, but if you could ask them for some new commercials now and then, that would help.
I'd also like to see more anime trailers, even if they're from shows that you're not currently streaming. I've seen the various Shana trailers show up and I think that's a step in the right direction. Perhaps you could get more trailers from FUNi, like the Hellsing: Ultimate, Black Lagoon, and Lain re-release trailers to help build up hype.

I like the top 10 lists and new manga releases. Maybe we could get some teases of new stuff coming to Shonen Jump Unlimited every once in a while? I'd like to see interviews with manga-ka as well.
I think some convention specials could be interesting. It would be cool to see content from anime conventions all across the world. You could interview some of the guests/attendants and shine a spotlight on conventions at the same time.
I've seen some NamcoBandai commercials, and that's cool. Rightstuf is a pretty good store, although the commercial does get old. You might try getting some commercials from more game publishers like Atlus, SEGA, NIS America, etc. I like the Bushiroad/Vanguard ones (although their commercials suffer from getting cut off too) although they do play a little too often. (Okay, that's almost an understatement.)
I don't really dig the mosquito shorts as much. They happen a little too often, maybe. It'd be nice to get some more ONA content like Rock Lee and His Ninja Pals or the Melancholoy of Haruhi-chan for shorts... or maybe... Panda Z.

Oh! I just thought of something I'd really like to see: Voice actor interviews!!
Make it happen!
EDIT: I've noticed a lot more anime trailers on the stream tonight. This pleases me.

Oh yeah, that's a really good one, especially with the dub specialty of this new service, that would be very cool to hear from them.
I also liked the convention idea one too, especially during convention season.
The top lists are very nice. I like how it rotates too with anime, games, manga, etc. It already reminded me of a game I needed to pick up on PSN for example.
I was kind of amused by the two catchy mosquito ones I've seen the first couple of times I saw them so as long as they're not over-played they're a bit fun and catchy for a time filler, but I could see them being a little naggy for some if they over-play as mentioned. I like the suggestion of grabbing some ONA anime shorts to add even more variety to these in addition to new original ones.
Yeah, I was surprised, I noticed a larger selection of anime trailers today compared to wednesday/yesterday, including some nice new Funi trailers.

Sounds great everyone.
We're getting some more videogame ads added this week and some traditional movie spots from Warner Brothers. Don't worry, we'll pick out ones that we think you'll like.
Also, are you interested in music videos?

I think non-anime content can help the site grow larger. As the people that are into the live Asian films will hear about it and give the site a go. And that'll in turn see that anime is also on the site, making another anime fan...if they end up happening to like it.
If they're cool, then that'll be a neat thing. Maybe with AMVs, there can be a site or forum to allow fans to upload their own stuff.

AMVs is an interesting idea. Though I wonder if then the burden of getting the music rights from the original band/artist would fall on each individual AMV creator wouldn't it? Then there's the rights from the anime consortium that the AMV creator is pulling the content from and the royalty rate, since Neon Alley is a paid channel.
This may take some time.

I wouldn't mind seeing the actual music videos of the songs from the opening credits of certain shows. The included videos from the Durarara!! and Madoka releases come to mind. That having been said, I'd keep the videos anime-related, or at least Asian oriented (in case you wanted to put Gangnam Style on there or something ).
Could we perhaps provide you to YouTube links of music videos we'd like to see on the channel so that you can use them as suggestions?

Oooorrr, use royally free music, no legal issues that way. But I don't think it's an issue when you use music for AMVs, as long as you don't sell them.

|I'd love to see AMV's! But I can see where it could be tricky from a legal perspective. Personally I think as long as no one is profiting from them, they should be considered fair use. I know lots of people have discovered anime and new music because of these videos. But I know corporations and lawyers have a different view.

full ashe style?
inf edge
phant dancer
black clearer?
with banshee?
Yes, she's viable, though I haven't played her with the build you've described.
I play her without any attack speed. Instead, I load up on AD, ArmorPen, and max out my Cooldown Reduction.
She is. She is a little different from traditional ranged AD tho. I dont do big crit on her and focus more on atk speed, lifesteal and utility items. Try Zerker boots, wriggles, startks, BT, Defense, BT.
I've had a lot of sucess the few times I've used her so far, but I focus more on raw AD than anything else, given she already has a long lasting AS buff from her ult.
The most sucessful build I've had so far was zerkers, wriggles (I laned with no healer that game), infinity edge, bloodthirster, guardian angel, phantom dancer, and then selling the wriggles for last whisper. Boomerangs hit like a truck and I could take better advantage of the 'double tap' from using ricochet, while still having high dps in teamfights without the dancer due to the ult AS buff.
I just tried a "hybrid" version between consistant and burst damage.
The full build was:
Ionians, Bloodthirster, Trinity Force, Youmuu's, Black Cleaver, Last Whisper.
BB on such a short cooldown makes people not want to get near you. In team fights, spam both ricochet and BB as often as possible. Before initiation, poke aggressively with BB...poke with Rico if they get too close or if they're out of position.
It worked out pretty nicely, but my burst isn't what it could have been, and I probably shouldn't have built Last Whisper considering I got both Youmuu's and Black Cleaver giving static armor pen...not to mention my Armor Pen Marks too.
BB would effectively destroy anyone who wan't a tank. easily 1/3rd of their health on a solid hit. 1/2 against the enemy's squishy cait. I think I'm becoming a fan of Trinity Force on Sivir.
I'm running 22/0/8 masteries with the 8 in util focused on Mana regen, also my Blue/Yellow runes are scaling Mana Per 5.
Normally, the actual DPSing in fights would be a problem, but you're sivir and you have Ricochet on short CD and your BB is only 5-6 seconds too once you get all the CDR items.
So you're spamming it fairly consistently...your auto attacks are also encouraged via black cleaver.
Cait only has 1 real burst damage ability so she needs to go more traditional ranged AD.
Edit: Early game I do run OOM quite a bit, but once the scaling blues/yellows kick in it stops being a problem. It just means in early game I'm a bit more conservative. Use auto attacks and the passive to help chase, only launch a BB if it's a guaranteed hit or likely to kill. Laning with a partner who has CC is amazing. It's almost unfair the amount of burst a Sivir + AP Sion combo can dish out.
Sivir is Really, Really, Easy (TM). Rush Zerks, then Bloodthirster, then PD, then 3 more BTs, then replace boots with another PD.

What is this monster vine?
Does anyone know what this vine is? I have cut it out of three trees already and I do not want it doing the same thing to other trees as it has to the tree in the first picture - honestly the tree may have been dead prior to the vine consuming it - not sure. The diameter of the vine is pretty large - see the third picture.
I apologize for putting the pics on different posts - I can't seem to get the link from photobucket to work properly.
The leaves look a little like bittersweet, which I have seen overwhelming the trees along I-95 a few miles north of Philadelphia. I once had one, over 20 years ago, but had to remove it, as we put an additional room on the house. Still pulling up vines from the seeds, although the migrating robins may be bring seed in. Would never, purposely, plant it again.
I'm not sure but it seems like the bigger vines...the ones that look woody - are not quite dead but on their way. I couldn't believe how easy they were to saw in half. It's almost like they get so big and then die off but there are lots of smaller green vines to replace them and do the same. I'm not sure if this is what is really happening.
I don't plan on taking down the huge vine tree because it blocks the neighbors and his 30-some (ugh!) chickens but I would like to make sure it doesn't wander into the neighboring trees again. As I haven't even really watched the progess of this vine I am not sure how fast it grows or consumes so I may have my hands full ever year cutting it back.
I find the ones less than ten feet long and pencil thick easy to pull. The roots are reddish. Have killed both wrist thick poison ivy and Trumpet vine with weed killer. I let months go by before I tore down the poison ivy vines I had sprayed, but cut the trumpet vine, drilled holes in the stub and filled them with weed killer solution. Cutting them, but leaving them alive, only encourages the roots to send up shoots, everywhere. Bittersweet grows like crazy, and can send up shoots far from the original.
I forgot to mention that the roots are a reddish/orange. Does bittersweet have some sort of blossom or berry? I haven't seen anything like fruit on this one but wouldn't there have to be at some point?
I have decided haha that the vine tree is going bye bye. Our goal is to plant an evergreen within that area to block the view of the neighbors 365 days a year. My only concern is the fight this vine has - meaning how much of a problem it will be trying to come back after I cut it all down. I have pulled many roots from the ground but I am no stranger to this and know there are probably 10x as many left in the ground that I didn't get. The tree won't go in until maybe next Spring (not sure if that is the best time to plant evergreens) or possibly next fall.
Did you just spray the crap out of the vines? I have thought of weed killer BUT neighbors chickens are close in proximity.
A huge mature vine like this is going to put up a heckuva fight, no doubt. Bittersweet is a notoriously hard-to-kill entity.
I don't own any kind of chemicals, but short of bulldozing this whole area and removing the top layer of soil (the good part - a very undesirable idea,) it would be about a full-time job trying to get rid of something like that with only manual efforts, and if faced with the same situation, I would buy something. But it's a common fallacy that a ton of 'cide will be more deadly than applying according to label directions. Since you're willing and able to perform a lot of manual mutilation and removal (which will seriously impede this plants' ability to continue growing,) you should be able to keep the amount of 'cide used to a tiny amount, applied directly and carefully to cut ends, using a product made for this purpose. Something like roundup that affects by being "ingested by leaves" is not what you need for that because you would have to spray a huge amount of product just to apply it according to label directions. Regardless of what's in your neighbor's yard, you probably don't want to dump a bunch of toxins on your own property.
When the leaves are all gone later, you can keep working on it if you are so inclined, especially since you intend to remove it all, alive or dead, anyway. The less live vine mass there is, the less stored energy reserves there are to grow back. Unfortunately, you won't know until spring how much is still alive and growing back again. It looks like this vine has spread and may have roots all throughout the area, as mentioned above, and likely seeds have produced individual sprouts as well, which would mean that it's actually a patch of autonomous plants, which will each have to be killed.
Concentrate on getting the spot cleared for your tree, and keep attacking the other still-alive parts of the vine in the same way, cutting and pulling what you can, 'cide-ing stumps. Can you pull some of it out with a truck?
It definitely has roots throughout a lot of the area - I have found that out. The plan is to seed a majority of the area in the Spring and get to mowing it. The slope will probably have to be weed whacked. I am hoping that by mowing it will keep it knocked down when it does start to come back and eventually it will die due to no photosynthesis going on. However, it looks like it may extend somewhat to the neighbors side as well so I am just hoping my side dies off even if his is still going. I won't know how much is on his side until we get the vine tree down. The burning ban is off the 11th and we are planning on burning the piles in the pic and starting on the vine tree..cutting piece by piece and throwing it on the pile to burn.
This is what the area looks like now. It was a jungle before.
Haha actually this was easier on my back then sanding the paint off the bedroom door..had a backache for two days with that!
As soon as we get the piles burned and the vine tree down and burned...hopefully next week...I will post better before and after pics...with the real camera and not the phone. I am actually pretty amazed myself at how much better it looks.
I think the plan for the vine tree is to leave a couple inches of the vine sticking out of the ground and drill holes in the vine and dump the herbicide in them to get down in the roots and kill it. Other areas I have pulled roots and I know they are everywhere in that dirt. Hoping the mowing next year eventually kills it. I have been reading a lot of articles on the Oriental Bittersweet and I am now convinced that is def what this is - thanks for the ID help bogturtle.

How to Write an IntroductionPen to paper, and chin in hand, the ink tip hovers over the first blue line of the sheet. I pause, and sigh softly through my nose. I'm to write about myself. To confess to people who I am, what I am, why I write, and how I came to love it? Any other details found to be interesting to them - or myself, even? Tapping the pencil to the paper, I tilt my eyes up in thought.Being as boring as I view myself, I don't know what to share. Saying I'm from Los Angeles is no great feat on the webs as it is in person, to a university in the middle of Idaho - also known as absolutely nowhere. Wanting to be a teacher, double majoring with Secondary Education and English, and minor in Political Science? Please; it's been done and heard of before. The fact that I'm short is no surprise, and my white - almost neon white - skin is due to a mix of race and lack of ever going outside.No, no one wants to hear about that.The fact that I'm anxious and easy to stress, clinically diagnosed for both, s

[Sora x Reader] Halloween Special Part 1Sora x Reader Halloween Special Part 1Halloween is coming up really soon . Last year I tried getting Sora's attention by wearing a Nurse's costume.. It didn't turn out well.. Sora just said that I look cute and beautiful, then we just went trick or treating after that.. I was hoping for some kind of action..Kairi suggested that me and Sora would be a matching couple costume, and the first thing i thought of was Maid and Butler. And it's not because I finished watching Kuroshitsuji... Or anything like that.... Riku thought it was a dumb idea to dress up just for a kiddie trick or treating, he even said that pedophiles can even look at you, or something like that.. Sora said that its actually fun, and that you're never to old to trick or treat.I hadn't told Sora what we are going to be for Halloween yet.. And Halloween is in 15 days, I guess I should tell him about it now. Around 8PM I went over to Sora's house and rang the door bell. I can hear some shouting through their door. Then

Propagating a Spider Plant?
What is the best to start another plant out of the one I just bought? It's a large plant and it has a lot of those dendrites with new leaves growing out and I thought I could just cut one off and stick it in some water. Am I on the right track or is there something I'm missing. I haven't had the chance to search it on line and I will soon. I just like to come here and ask for other thoughts and advise. well thank you to all that can help me.
They will root readily if you start in water, but the new plant will establish faster if you skip that step & root in a damp, well drained soil in bright light (but not direct sun). Once established, you'll find this plant most responsive and happier if you water with rain water, melted snow, or distilled water.
When the flower is replaced by a plantlet I would bend the flowered stalk down to a small pot placed alongside the parent plant and pin the tip into potting compost so that the underside of the plantlet sits just below the surface. Keep the compost just moist and allow to remain until the young plant is growing and evidently rooted into the compost; then severe its connection with the parent plant. The weaning process is more gentle than removing the plantlet and sitting it on compost independent of the parent plant.
Here is a link that might be useful: My Pages
since you just got this plant-some ideas on how to grow it. its leaf tips turn brown if it is too wet. I usually leave the plant alone until the green starts to get a light, or greyish tint to it. then I water it, and it turns bright green again. I usually only water it about once a month. my 3, that I've had for over 8 years, thrive all winter with barely any light, they are 4 feet fron a west window and doing fine. they do summer outside, where I forget about them. I do seperate and repot them in the spring, every other year.
I'm not sure I understand your propagation method, but if you have compost and water as your media, now is the time to get plants out of it. The bacteria in the water will consume all the O2, making the water an anaerobic soup that won't support plant life.
Though roots form readily and often seemingly more quickly on many plants propagated in water, the roots produced are quite different from those produced in a soil-like or highly aerated medium (perlite - vermiculite - seed starting mix, e.g.). Physiologically, you will find these roots to be much more brittle than normal roots due to a much higher percentage of aerenchyma (a tissue with a greater percentage of inter-cellular air spaces than normal parenchyma). If you wish to eventually plant your rooted cuttings in soil, it is probably best not to root them in water because of the frequent difficulty in transplanting them to soil. The "water-formed" roots often break during transplant & those that don't break are very poor at water absorption and often die. The effect is equivalent to beginning the cutting process over again with a cutting in which vitality has likely been substantially reduced.
If you do a side by side comparison of cuttings rooted in water & cuttings rooted in soil, the cuttings in soil will always (for an extremely high percentage of plants - nearly all) have a leg up in development on those moved from water to a soil medium for the reasons outlined above.
I have recently taken a baby from my spider plant and set it in some soil still connected to the mother plant. It is growing and seems to be well anchored to the soil. I'm just wondering if I should cut it now, or if it will be even better off if I leave it connected to the mother plant for longer. Also, if I never cut it, will the mother plant eventually wean it anyway? Thanks!
I also have one that grew so big when I went to water it ,it broke off.I then cut the individual sections that had about 7-8 leaves on it and then put it in a vase with some water to grow some roots.Was this the best way or should i just plant the sections in soil?

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
A 50-year-old Winnipeg man will not spend another day behind bars for sexually abusing and secretly videotaping his teenage stepdaughter.
The accused -- who can't be named to protect the identity of the 17-year-old girl -- was found guilty last month of several charges including sexual assault, voyeurism and making child pornography. He returned to court Monday where Queen's Bench Justice Kenneth Hanssen gave him a three-year sentence.
However, the man has already served two years of pre-trial custody, which pre-dated federal legislation outlawing enhanced credit.
As a result, Hanssen gave him one-and-a-half times credit, bringing his sentence to three years, at least on paper.
He walked out of court a free man Monday, although he will be under three years of supervised probation and placed on the national sex-offender registry.
During the trial, the man testified he was innocent and claimed the girl was lying. But Hanssen disagreed, saying he had no doubt the crimes happened as the teenager described.
She described waking up to find the accused in her bedroom molesting her.
"He saw my reaction and said he was sorry," she testified.
It was around that time the girl's mother discovered numerous email messages her husband of five years had sent to her daughter. She went to court and obtained a restraining order against the man, filing copies of the emails with the courts. She also filed for divorce.
In the emails, the man offered his stepdaughter cash, electronics and even allowed her to skip school and keep it a secret. But he indicated there would be a price.
"You know that your mom will be mad at you skipping school and you keep asking me to do things for you, I don't ask anything in return but this time I think that you owe me for doing this for you! If you agree to my terms I will continue to keep your secrets. My term is this you will agree to do what I ask of you with no questions," he wrote in an April 2009 email.
In May 2009, the girl received an email stating: "I want that we can spend some quality time together and I would like to see you the way your mom does."
Further emails included invitations for the girl to spend time with him in exchange for money, an iPod and a cellphone.
"Would you like me to give you $300 tomorrow? All you have to do is one simple thing and I will give you the money in cash. All you have to do is come into the room. Let me know you got this email and say yes," reads an August 2009 email.
Winnipeg police began investigating in early 2010 after the teen disclosed the sexual assault to a teacher. She said she was afraid to tell anyone what happened, fearing she and her mother, who are immigrants, would be deported.
They were sponsored by the accused following a 2005 marriage.
Police arrested the man and initially charged him with sexual assault and sexual interference.
The investigation took another turn when police discovered videotapes that contain topless images of the girl. She said she had no idea they had been taken on a webcam she said was hidden in her bedroom by her stepfather. The man denied putting the camera there or taking the videos.

1) I would think a CFC would use way less water than an immersion chiller, but as I have an immersion chiller I'm just guessing. The CFC is supposed to work faster, so it makes sense to me.
ii) In the first poster's case, I would do a "no sparge". Let things mash for an hour at 150-155 and then dump in whatever amount of sparge water is calculated to be needed (probably around 180F or so to raise the temp of the entire mash to 168-170F), and then drain the whole thing off. Done.
Yeah you have to dispose of the heat somehow. The best thing to do is collect the water an use it for the strike water for your next batch...but that's a slippery slope
I think that given the same temperature of water, counterflow chillers use less water. There are factors. Immersion chillers are more efficient with smaller batches. And the hose diameter and length makes a big difference with counterflow.
How did the ice factor into your use of the immersion chiller?
Of course, ice takes energy to create, so it's really just a different way of moving energy/heat around. There's no free lunch. But using ice and an immersion chiller may save water in your case...I'm just not clear how you use the ice. You could probably do the same with a counterflow chiller.
But a plate chiller is definitely the most efficient...I intend to get one someday. morebeer.com has an affordable one.
BeeGee - right on...doesn't make sense to me, because it seems that you could do a quick sparge with continuous by stirring it all up and running it through quickly. That intuitively makes sense, but experience tells me that to get the best results, you need to go slow and not agitate the grain at all. I don't know why it would be different with batch, but I don't have the experience with that method that you do.
ESPY - I see where you're coming from and totally agree. The difference between partial and AG is minimal and mostly has to do with volume. I wouldn't sink too much effort/money into a system that can only do mini-mash because it takes as long as brewing an AG, but you still have to buy extract. I'd definitely agree that money/effort should be focused on a system that will be able to do AG, and if you're only doing mini-mashing, minimizing cost is a good idea. FWIW, one can skip the mini-mash phase of their brewing career and jump straight to AG...makes more sense to me, because other than volume, it's the same thing.

designer 1.2.2 build 48 , mac osx , duplicating components
I've noticed something strange in Designer 1.2.2 build 48.
When I have a component , I duplicate that component. When I alter the new component, the original component also changed. For example, I duplicate a panel. Change the title in the new panel, the original panel titel also changes. The only fix for this is to add a new panel and not duplicate.

A excellent location with everything you need on site for a fun fabulous holiday.My family loved it.
Me my husband sister and her husband and our dog stayed in a value chalet 4 for 4 night it was very small to small single beds that is fine for children but not good for 2 adults as we wear all over the age of 50 we found it very uncomfortable there was no shower only a very small bath a corner sofa that yet again very small and uncomfortable for 4 adults and just because you take a dog with you do you have to have the oldest and the most out dated accommodation I think it is about time these chalets wear knocked down
Best location and beach duperb
We loved the location but the accommodation was very basic and would certainly not accommodate 6 people in the general living space.
the bungalow was like something from the sixities,the bath was so small with a built in seat,so you couldnt lay in it,the staff were friendly,but the bungalow ruined the holiday
The camp was in need on a revamp and staff training.
Although the reception ladies were very helpful in resolving my problem. The quickly found me alternative accommodation and saved my holiday.
Okay if you are a mountain goat, very steep path to the beach.
overall we had a good holiday,
very nice park
The Comfort chalet was appaling. Left after 1 night. Good location.
We had 3 power cuts for 8 hour with no help from any staff . Very poor
It wasnt great!!
a very nice camp in lovely surrounds great value for an out of season holiday
Enjoyed our holiday the weather was great really friendly and helpfull staff
Pleasant ,helpful , friendly staff

passiflora 'ruby glow' vine
desertratgardenerOctober 7, 2009
I am planning to plant a passion vine on a southwest facing trellis this fall. The plant has 2 blooms right now and appears to be fairly healthy. I am wondering if this spot is appropriate and if it will survive the summer sun (zone 8). The trellis gets full sun from about 1pm until sundown with minimal filtration from some nearby fruit trees. Any knowledge regarding these vines (ie pruning, fertilizing, etc.) would be helpful.
aimeekitty(9-10, SW 18)
in my very limited experience, passion vine does well in sunny spots,... I've seen it doing well in zone 9-10, so it would probably be ok in 8, too? ( http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/53806/ ) I wish I could give you more info... sorry!

Bulb ID (pictures)
I need help identifying some bulbs I have & would like to know if anyone has any tips on how to make them grow again.
My dad went to california and brought back some bulbs. I asked him what they were, but he didn't know. I ignored them and left them on top of the ground next to some plants & leaves started to come out. When I put them underground they grew a few more leaves but then they started to turn yellow I thought maybe I was over watering them so I stopped but they continued to die. I took them back out and left them above ground but the leaves never grew back. :/
I think they might be leucojum (snowflake bulbs) but im not too sure. what do you all think??
here are some pictures.
with leaves
The bulbs were a light brown color but I peeled off the outer layers because it had bugs and dirt. I dont know if I should have done that. lol
I agree Amaryllis Belladona. They grow foliage during the winter(here in the mild California winter), then go dormant when the weather warms. In August they send up flower stalks with no foliage. When they have been moved they may take several years to bloom, or may never bloom if not planted in enough sun. Al
Looks like one of the Nerines. Maybe sardiniensis.
Plant it into soil that drains well. Plant them so their necks are out of the ground. At a pinch you can even rest them on the surface and cover the roots with soil leaving most of the bulb bare above the ground. They're moderately frost-hardy (-5C) Get them back in the ground as quickly as possible. They're more like lilies than daffodils in that respect.
Most of them grow their leaves over the winter - so that's when you water if the rain is not enough. If your version of zone 9 is 'mediterranean' (dry-bake summer and then winter rain) they'll do well. Full sun is preferred, otherwise they'll produce lots of leaves and not much else.
Don't water over summer. Let them be hot and dry. Then, once they've settled in (and they're sure you aren't going to move them for four or five years at least) they'll think about flowering. Expect single stalks that can be up to an inch thick with buds like a spear tip on the top.
When they've finished flowering nothing happens for weeks. Then the leaves emerge. Like Colchicum (if you grow that).
They do like a potash feed. Wood ash will do fine while they're in leaf.
It's probably better to remove the old leaves when they've reached the limp, yellow-brown, and a bit slimy stage. They pull off in handfuls.
The clumps can get to be quite wide (2-3 feet). They're good company for tough species roses, or dentata lavenders, maybe also Cistus and Pelargonium, though you'd have to choose your colours to avoid a clash :-)

_________________________________Skal! Den Faaborg Bryggeri
Have you thought about buying one of the control systems from High Gravity?
I'm not sure how price compares to building your own. If you add in your lack of tools, maybe it would work out better/cheaper.
I also understand (at least for me) that half of the fun is building and understanding the stuff.
Wow. I'm still feeling *really* overwhelmed by the scope of this project. I've been reading every build thread I can get my hands on to, and even after all of this, I still do not feel like I genuinely understand how one of the elements mounts, or is wired, or how it works.
I'm really fed up and frustrated with myself for being so dense about this. But I genuinely feel like I have no clue what I am doing.
I really don't want "much" of a control panel. The more I think about it, I am really not into the whole automated, integrated, shiny, blingy aesthetic. The High Gravity EBC SV controller would be absolutely adequate for my wants/needs. I don't quite understand why it's $500, it seems a little high, but I really don't understand what each of these components "should" cost, even after reading the excel price list that whoever has floating around.
But.... I do not know if I want to give up on my dream of having a HEX coil. I want to step mash and even mash out and I can never make it work out via the infusion method. Recirculating through a coil just "sounds right".
And worse, I really don't have a budget for this project. Like, the closer to $0 that I spend, the better.
I keep coming back to "It's just not going to happen, it's not in the cards." And that makes me feel ridiculous, because I'm too much of a wuss to go brew outside in the cold, but I drink so much that I can't just stop brewing for the winter, or I'll run out of money on commercial brew.
This is just all very frustrating to me right now.... ...it just makes me feel so stupid, being unable to understand how this all fits together and what all I need to accomplish this.
The fact that I am agonizing over spending $40 on a new kettle bulkhead and $30 on a new mash tun bulkhead is probably a glaring warning sign that I should stop pursuing the electric build until I have financial things into better shape...... Argh.
I should work on my fermentation cabinet, to see if I can give myself an attainable project and run with it. I don't know how I'm going to cut the hole in the cabinet though. Maybe I should not have bought steel. Hm. But I already have all the parts for the cabinet (minus the pink foam sheets) so it shouldn't be a big expense to complete the job.
If I can finish the fermentation cabinet, which involves a kiddie level of wiring, then maybe I'll feel better about things and can move on to building a vent hood. And if the vent hood works out, maybe I can finally think about punching a hole in my kettle and wiring up an element. :/
I am just so disappointed in myself over this... The rate at which other brewers on here are cranking out their e-builds puts me to damned shame.
I don't understand how to build an airplane... some folks do. I don't have the spare cash to buy an airplane... some folks do. I still love flying though!
Know your limitations (financial, time, DIY, whatever) and accept them. Remember - beer has been brewed for hundreds if not thousands of years, long before flashy control panels, recirculating HERMS coils, electric elements, or any of that stuff. If you don't think you have the skills or funds to build your own, and you don't have the funds to buy a completed one, then it may be time to consider putting this project on hold and sticking to the real core of all this - brewing beer!
I am afraid of airplanes. *hide* But I get your drift. Accepting my limitations -- okay, accepting ANYTHING -- is not my forte. I demand unreasonable perfection from myself and beat myself up when I fail to attain it. Normally I'd agree that I just need to clear my head and brew some beer, any way possible. It's a catch 22 because I don't want to brew any more than I have to, until I get the indoor brewery built: it's too cold outside and I have no garage or shelter of any kind. & I can't drop down to stovetop brewing because I don't have a stove. (Seriously. I cook on a rice cooker.)
At this point, I'm trying to think of the bare minimum I need to do, in order to brew indoors, in order to keep turning out beer.
1. The HLT is pre-baked and should work as-is, I just need to plug it in and give it a dry run to clean any stuff out of it. In theory, I can do this in my kitchen, unless the cord is the wrong type, or unless it's too low Amps. (No stove = available range outlet.)
2. The mash tun will be a regular cooler. I have a working mash tun, and I have a new cooler that will eventually become a mash tun. I could use either the old or the new. That is not a big stressor. Great. Moving on.
...That means that, in theory, I can already heat, mash, and sparge indoors and *ALL* I need to do is -
3. get a functioning element mounted in a kettle,
4. provide power to the kettle, ideally,
5. control the power once it hits boiling, and
6. vent the steam outdoors so I don't ruin my home. That's all. That's really, really all. So how can it still seem like such a mountain of work?!
Maybe I can break it into bite-sized chunks so small that I can finally understand it and stop freaking out. Let's try it using Step 3. Get functioning element mounted in a kettle.
I feel like if I can't do this step, the project truly is a dead-end. The steps are covered in detail by Kal. He even sells a pre-fab assembly.
To complete Step 3, I need to do the following tasks at absolute minimum:
- Measure and mark where I want the bottom (and center and top) of the element to sit at on the kettle's wall. Too high and it causes problems with minimum liquid level. Too low and it causes problems with the bottom curved edge of the kettle. There is a "right way" to do this. I just need to execute it correctly. If I do not, I am out $30 for a used kettle. That is not so bad. It could be $300 for a Blingman.
- Drill a pilot hole using the center mark. There is really no risk here. I have drill bits. I have a drill. The kettle is aluminum and drills very easily.
- Use the punch, which I already have, in order to punch the correct size of element hole. I feel like I should wait to do this until I actually have the element in-hand so I know I am punching the correct hole. I am terrified that I will wind up using the wrong punch, or calculating an ID instead of OD, or something else equally stupid. I don't know why I am so worried about it. Kal lists the correct size right on the site. I should relax and just perform the step. But... *panic*
- Once hole is punched, insert element assembly and tighten. Right? That's all. Just secure it, and leak test it.
So if I can find $195 for the pre-assembled Kal element assembly, I only need to find the time to perform the steps, and then Step #3 should be all but complete. That doesn't sound so bad.
I would start with a quote from an electrician for upgrading your existing panel to breakers, higher amp service, etc. The cost may be significant.
For kettle temp and boil control it doesn't take much. Your kettle controller could be as simple as an ON/OFF switch and a PWM to control an SSR or a phase angle SSR.
Here are some details on my $300 eBIAB project. Once you remove the PID control and other features the price point drops further. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/ebc...-build-368976/
To do the "real" brewery build-out will cost me at least $3k in electric work - I had a quote written up about a year ago - maybe $4k if I push the envelope by pulling a new 200A service, buried, and lots of dedicated 120v outlets strewn around the basement for all of my computer and/or beer gear.
But right now I am lowering my initial expectation to a portable "make do" sort of rig, where I can use existing outlets in the house - say, by unplugging the basement clothes dryer to plug in my boil kettle power source - or by unplugging the (non existent) oven in the first-floor kitchen in order to plug my HLT into - without making any wiring changes.
Of course, that means I'm also sans-GFCI....... I need to keep that in mind.
For the sake of discussion - Take only my turn-key HLT for example. It's plastic, the controls are plastic, the valve handle is plastic. Does it "need" a GFCI? I mean, obviously, it should have GFCI protection for general safety's sake... but if I'm using it as, essentially, a giant hot water tea kettle.... once it reaches the desired temp., as long as I power the unit off and unplug from power source - THEN begin to discharge the hot water into a carrying bucket - I wonder whether it would be do-able.
Is there such a thing as a pre-made PWM? I was not considering that option because I don't know how to solder so buying a PCM circuit board kit does not do me any good.
Agreed - no GFCI on a pot full of liquid that you are pumping electricity into - and that you will likely touch / stir / contact in some way - is not a great idea.

Apparently foxes can hear the scurrying of rodents under the snow and then can dive nose first into the snow and get their noms. Maybe this fox is on the hay bail to increase his leaping distance?

A Birthday, no Water and a indoor waterfall
... enough, there was a knock on the front door. A wild young man stood at the door, with long curly hair. braded to a tail, a typical face of a Scotsman and tatoos on his arms presenting gaelic symbols. He was dressed in outdoor pants and a wild looking t-shirt. As he spoke to Richy politely asking if it would inconvenience us if he started his work while we were in the cottage, it became quite clear that this was a real Scotsman, very friendly and nice, dispite of the first ...
Hardest trip ever aboard my Transalp
... what was iced up locks or what was simply fields. The road itself may look good but there was many small patches of ice where water had run onto the road and iced up making it extremely dangerous for bikes.
Finally into Crieff and onwards south towards Glendevon and finally the M9 motorway and over the Forth Road bridge and home.
In all I had traveled just over 200 miles in total. It had been an extremely long day but a great adventure as well and certainly worth doing.
Atholl Gathering and Highland Games
... beside me told me that he is 17 years old. Oh dear...
At 1:15 the Atholl Highlanders paraded in and the Duke of Atholl officially started the Games. After that the open competition started. They did weight for distance, shotput, hammer throw and the caber toss. Piping and Highland dancing competitions also went on throughout the day. There was a covered stage at for the dancers and pipers played in front of judges at points along the edge of the arena. Towards the end ...

We stayed at La Posada De Santa Fe from 8/22/14-8/26/14 and we could not have asked for a more enjoyable experience. The hotel staff, accommodations were excellent. One morning i went to eat breakfast, after the kitchen had stopped serving breakfast, I told the server that I did not need a full meal, only something to eat in order to take medicine. The kitchen agreed to break tradition and scrambled a couple of eggs for me in order for me to take my medicine. They did not have to do this but they did. If we needed a shuttle to take us some place, within a few minutes of our request we were on our way. Me and my wife are planning another visit and La Posada de Santa Fe will be our first choice for lodging.

Lake Wind Advisory issued March 29 at 3:06AM CDT expiring March 29 at 4:00PM CDT in effect for: McCurtain
Actress MINDY KALING is working on another memoir - her second in three years.
The former The Office star is writing a new book titled Why Not Me?, a sequel to 2011 bestseller Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (and Other Concerns).
The Emmy nominee, who now stars and executive produces her own sitcom, The Mindy Project, is keen to share stories about the last few years of her life with fans.
She says, "So much has happened between the time I published my first book and now. The show; my mother passed away; so many of my friends have gotten married. I'm a godmother now, and a homeowner. There's so much that has happened in that period of time that I wanted to write another book."

Paulus to play football for Orange
From Duke point guard to Syracuse quarterback. That's the unprecedented career path that Greg Paulus has decided to travel.
Paulus announced Thursday morning that he would return to his hometown of Syracuse to play football after four years of basketball with the Blue Devils. He said he called new Orange coach Doug Marrone on Thursday morning to notify him of his decision.
Because Paulus did not redshirt and he completed his degree at Duke in four years, he can go to graduate school elsewhere and compete right away in football if he is granted a waiver. Paulus said he plans to drive back to Syracuse in the coming days to deal with the necessary paperwork.
"I know not many people have done this, and having that type of opportunity and challenge is something that excites me and motivates me," Paulus said in a conference call with reporters. "It will keep me in the gym longer and keep me on the field longer."
Paulus, a three-year starter at Duke, said he didn't start thinking about a return to football until after the basketball season ended and a few teams started calling to gauge his interest. He began throwing a football around again and said "the itch and the desire" to play that sport took over.
He had a tryout with the NFL's Green Bay Packers and visited Nebraska and Michigan in addition to Syracuse.
Hang on, help is on the way
Greg Paulus, right, last played football four years ago, but Syracuse's offense could use all kinds of help. How the Orange ranked in the eight-team Big East in '08:
|Big East ranks
|Passing YPG
|Passing TDs
|Yards per att.
|Pass efficiency
He said about two dozen college teams made contact with him.
In the end, he said his gut and his heart told him to go to Syracuse, the same city where he starred as a high school quarterback. He threw for more than 11,700 yards at Christian Brothers Academy and was named the 2004 Gatorade national player of the year in football.
Miami and Notre Dame offered him football scholarships, and he received a basketball offer from Syracuse before choosing to play basketball at Duke.
Of course, that was high school. Paulus hasn't played the sport competitively in four years and faces the daunting challenge of trying to learn how to be a college quarterback between now and Syracuse's Sept. 5 opener against Minnesota.
"There will be a number of challenges along the way," he said. "But I'm confident in myself and believe in myself, and I'm hoping it works out for the best."
Bennett: Orange crush
Whatever happens on the football field, Greg Paulus' decision to play for Syracuse gives the Orange some national buzz. Blog
Paulus said he received no promises from Marrone about playing time. Marrone named redshirt freshman Ryan Nassib his starting quarterback during the first week of spring practice.
Under NCAA rules, Marrone can't comment on Paulus until all of the official paperwork is complete. Paulus intends to pursue a graduate degree in communications at Syracuse and will need a waiver from the NCAA to become eligible this season.
Paulus has been training for football during the past month, occasionally tossing the football with his younger brother, Mike, a quarterback at North Carolina. He said his goal is to win the starting job for the opener, but that he'd accept whatever role Marrone asks of him.
"I love two sports, and to be able to play them both at the college level is pretty unique and special," he said. "I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to do it."
