Top Excuses To Get Out Of A date
A few uncomfortable thoughts: a stubbed toe, a root canal, and being stuck with a date you don't like. While they all involve just temporary pain, spending a few hours with someone you feel you don't mesh with can seem excruciating at times. So what do you do when you feel like you'd rather be gnawed on by a herd of rabid squirrels, rather than sit through 2 more minutes listening to why Star Wars is better than Battlestar Gallactica?
While there are many approaches, here are a just a few of the tried and true tactics to get you home early:
Take the honest route. When you find your mind wondering during dinner, and wishing a friend would call your cell with "an emergency", go ahead and lay it on the line. There are certainly ways to be polite and tactful, while asking to excuse yourself from the rest of the evening. "I'm just not feeling as if we're a good match" is an effective opener.
Feign illness. Maybe it was the fish that made you ill at dinner… hang your hat on that excuse and then hope your date doesn't recall that you had the chicken. I do suggest that if you decide to play The Sick Card, you go all in though. Don't be too passive in stating you 'feel a bit queasy'; instead, go right ahead and tell him / her "wow, I don't know WHAT they put in that gazpacho, but whatever it was; it's going through me like a locomotive!!" There are very few people that will attempt to detain you after that declaration.
Having a friend call you with a "so-called" emergency actually has been over played in Television and the Movies but can still work if you have children. Just be smart as to how and when during the date you play this card. Set up a code in advance, just in case your date wants to question you about the situation and asks if they could help. A text with a key word telling your friend to call back in 5, 10 or 20 minutes is helpful
If the above mentioned tips fails to get you to the exit, and an accelerated end to the date, there is always the "excuse me, I have to use the restroom" line. This works best if the restrooms are out of view of your date and have a close proximity to an exit. This is to only be used if your date actually instills a sense of fear in you and your options are limited and your safety could be compromised. Try to avoid this tip if at all possible as it is not only a method of last resort, but you are also not quite sure of the mental state of your date and whether he or she may be the type to retaliate.
These few tips to end a date early are by no means the only ones, but having a friend in the local SWAT team come in and arrest you would definitely work and probably eliminate any future requests to go out, however it may be a bit on the extreme side. The best method for ending a date early is not to go out with them. It's difficult to ascertain whether a person is a good fit for you with out the first or second date but you can weed out a great many of the undesirables. Just use your best judgment and natural instinct and you should be fine, if that doesn't work, pull the fire alarm and run like hell!
Do women like muscles or brainiacs?
This is a question that has been asked throughout the ages, are women more attracted to men with rippling, toned physiques, or those with brains? To answer this question we need to look deeper and begin a modest investigation of the differences between both types of men, but from the female perspective.
It seems that although most women appear to like a man with muscles, it's the total package that most females desire. The totally ripped gym rat looks great, but if he has the intellect of an eggplant the window dressing is wasted. A man does not have to be perfect, but simply to be well groomed, reasonably fit and have an air of confidence about him, as this will elevate this person well above the man who merely has a muscular body going for him.
To most women, your occupation does not give you license not to put in any effort into your physical and mental well-being. A plumber can get to the gym and dress neatly just as easily as a stockbroker. It's more of a mental state that separates those that can from those that can't. This is why the perfect combination of Brainiac and Muscleman is in such high demand.
When we talk about brainacs, we are not necessarily speaking of someone with a genius IQ, what we are saying is someone who has the intelligence along with the discipline and desire to achieve and succeed. Many women can't accurately put their finger on those things that create sexual attraction, but it is almost universally accepted that it is a combination of several things that generates interest. Women can sense passion, not only in regards to the chemistry between two people, but in the way a person approaches life as well.
There are of course those women who do not care in the slightest about a man's character, intellect or the way in which he presents himself, for them its only about one thing, 'is he hot or not!' Some women, much like some men, look at a member of the opposite sex merely as a conquest, and the thought of any long-term relationship never enters the thought process. For these women it's all about short-term and instant gratification.
But the question still needs to be addressed, do women prefer men with great bodies or men with great minds, and because the human race is imperfect and subject to a variety of opinions, this question can never be truly answered one way or the other. What can be stated is that each person has a particular set of experiences as they grow up.
These experiences shape who that person is today and what makes them happy and what does not. Finding someone who shares many of your experiences or at least the way in which you view the world can change the way in which you perceive that person. In high school it was the geeks versus the jocks, but as we got older the lines became a bit less clear as each of us has that sense of the perfect combination that they connect with, that one person who's body drives you crazy and who's mind takes you to a whole other level.
The Guy Code To Romance
There are guy's out there that are giving other men a bad name when it comes to romance. Its not that these guys are mean or abusive, they are just schmucks when it comes to communicating any feelings to their wives or girlfriends. I understand that its easier for some guys to get their feelings across than others, but this is where the major debate arises, its not that there aren't any feelings of romance within a guy, its just that he has no idea how to express them. It's for this reason that many relationships go wrong, even though they can so easily can be turned around simply with some thought of how those feelings can and should be expressed.
If you are with someone special you should have already felt those romantic feelings, but also understand romance for guys may manifest itself a bit different than for women. Romance for men or romance for women is more about expressing the feelings that should already exist rather than trying to figure out how to be more romantic. If you need to read a book or blogs for someone else to tell you how you should feel then something is probably wrong.
Once a guy recognizes and acts upon his romantic side it could become a bit habit forming. Romance is fun, so why not keep it up as long as the feelings are there? Have you ever given someone a gift and seen his or her face light up? How did that make you feel? Well, if you are in a sound romantic relationship, you probably felt almost as good as the person receiving the present. So why not keep that feeling going, it could be something as simple as holding a door open to a car with an umbrella on a rainy night, or a beautiful pair of diamond earrings, for the more extreme. The key for most guys who are figuring out how to get in touch with their romantic side is to express those feelings in a manner that will let their wife or girlfriends know that they are always thinking of them.
Many guys are romantic but don't like anyone to know that they are, in their eyes it may make them seem less macho. These closet romantics will display a momentary romantic gesture before retreating back into their tough guy façade. Being a closet romantic is fine as long as the object of your affection sees through the facade, and you make no major effort to conceal your romantic guy alter ego from her.
Timing is another important aspect of the guy's code to romance. Romantic gestures must come from a spontaneous outpouring of feelings that are pure and not contrived to cover some ulterior motive. Forgetting your girlfriend's birthday and feeling pretty crappy about it is not a good reason for romance, as guilt is never a good reason to do anything, it is merely covering for something that should have been done already. Romantic gestures should not be one and done either, they are continuous expressions of how you feel about someone.
Once those feelings begin to wane, and the displays of affection are few and far between, the relationship is usually on the decline. Romance encompasses both passion and intimacy, but it is important to realize that there is a difference between these two. Quite often you will meet someone and the passion burns hot for a short period of time but quite often fades quickly as well. Intimacy is a closeness that takes time to develop and usually can stand the test of time, especially when expressions of romance are displayed on an ongoing basis, but more importantly, as long as romance is felt.
Writing A Good Headline For Your Dating Profile.
By creating an effective online dating profile headline, a person can literally change their life. Read about several writing tips to help point you in the right direction.
Meeting your potential mate online is very common these days as internet dating has made it easy and convenient for people to get together. Just like anything else, there are some things to know in order to improve your online dating experience.
Creating a meaningful profile can make all the difference in the world in terms of your success in meeting someone online so here are some guidelines. Your profile is going to need a name or title. Try to think of a headline for a dating profile that somehow identifies who you are or what you're interested in. Stay away from names that might send the wrong message to someone who will be reading your profile.
The next thing to do is to write about yourself. This section is very important because it's like making a first impression on someone. The goal in writing about yourself is to let people know what your interests are and what you're looking for. Be sure to list any hobbies that you may have so that you can attract someone who has similar interests.
Stay away from sounding negative, angry and apologetic for being on a dating site as this will make you appear to be a bitter person. Instead focus on writing about positive things and try including a little humor in your profile which can really make all the difference in the world. You can even incorporate this into the dating profile headlines.
Checking for grammar, spelling and punctuation errors is also very important. A person can be extremely intelligent but if their writing is filled with spelling mistakes and typos, they're are going to appear uneducated and readers will get easily annoyed and turned off.
After you've finished writing about yourself you will need to post a photo. Including several pictures of yourself will greatly increase your odds of having your profile noticed. When it comes to dating advice, I can't think of anything more important then including several photos of yourself in your profile as a picture is worth a thousand words. Make sure you are easily viewable in the photos and stay away from posting pictures of you and your friends.
By taking the time to create meaningful dating profiles with catchy dating profile headlines, using the above dating tips as a writing guide, you'll increase your chances of finding what it is you've been searching for and that is when your life can literally change!

Do you know how to choose romantic food?
In order to know how to choose romantic foods one must first understand the setting. The mood music playing in the background, a gentle breeze is blowing through the balcony windows causing the light white drapes to billow up and push aside giving view to the moonlit ocean below. All is perfect as you are about to sit down with an attractive woman for dinner and some wine. The rent-a-waiter hired for the evening brings out the appetizers and the lady has a pained look on her face as the buffalo chicken wings chosen are placed up on the table. It is then apparent that someone does not know how to choose romantic foods.
These chicken wings would be fine if it were at a picnic and an individual had little intention of turning the afternoon romantic, but remember that even when men go out of the house to buy groceries their primary concern is to find and romance a woman. So it is imperative that if one is going to spend any time at all with a woman, he will have to eat and therefore should know how to choose romantic food. The setting means everything; if sitting in the movie theater, you can have a tender moment sharing popcorn and a drink or eating from both ends of a red licorice until lips meet in the middle. It's not always the food but how and when it is served.
This is not to say that dining at elegant restaurants is not the way to go, but this article is to see if one can know how to choose romantic foods, not restaurants. Lets say the date is taking place in a five star restaurant would a person be able to look at a menu and choose the most romantic foods for that date and that woman? There are those foods that are said to boost one's libido such as oysters and there are those that demonstrate elegance and the finer things in life such as Foie Gras. There is not much to do when searching a menu at a restaurant to discover what romantic foods are offered there, as long as you have done your homework and know the names of some.
I'd like to conclude the article on how to choose romantic foods by impressing upon the reader that both the affluent and the middle income folks can both bring their cuisine to a new level more by compliment the mood or atmosphere of the moment with the right choices of food rather than merely purchasing expensive caviar or truffles. A simple back yard barbeque in which the couple can take part in the preparation and cooking of a fine meal, topped off with a dessert the two of you created can lead to a passionate evening just as easy as the finest meal at a top rated restaurant. Of course it also helps if both he and she are naked under the apron!
Long Distance Relationships – Should I go or should I stay?
Long distance relationships are never easy and they will strain even the best of relationships. The smallest speed bumps may seem like Mount Everest when you are hundreds of miles away from the one you want to be with. So then the question eventually arises should I, or my partner, consider a move to the other's city so we can be together? Sounds like a relatively simple question, right? Well, the truth of the matter is that it can be one of the most unsettling experiences in your life, and that's not even from the move itself, just the thought of it! So how does one know that they should consider picking up their current life and moving to another city? Here are some factors and advice that a person should consider before making such a transition.
Relocation to a new city to be with that special someone is a great plan if you truly feel the potential of a long-term relationship is there, but consider what you may be leaving behind. We have mentioned jobs and school, but what about the people we leave behind? What family are we leaving? Do you have older parents that need you? Do you have brothers and sisters that may only get to see you occasionally on holidays? This is an issue that you must give serious consideration and seek advice as moving to be with someone you may love may cause more heartache than letting him or her go.
Millionaire Matchmaker Will Find You A Rich Sugar Daddy
Matchmaking is quite often described as a method of bringing individuals together for the intention of dating and hopefully entering into a long term relationship. This worked quite well in the movie "fiddler on the roof" and we all know that wonderful song with the axiom "matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match" but in that film there was another song that was even more poignant to our discussion, that being, "If I were a rich man!" Hence begins our discussion in the use of a millionaire matchmaker and the search to find a rich sugar daddy.
There are great numbers of dating services in the world, however if we narrow down their scope of relevance to only those catering to the extremely wealthy, we are then left with the upscale millionaire matchmakers. These dating services cater to those who have achieved much in their lives including great wealth, and therefore are searching for relationships that go beyond the traditional and ordinary. Introductions can be achieved in a number of ways, but with the advent of the World Wide Web and high technology, most scenarios involving an introduction are taking place on the internet, although a very few still conduct this undertaking in a up close and in person manner.
In order to accurately introduce a wealthy man to a young woman who is trying to find a rich sugar daddy or "significant other" of considerable affluence, the dating service must determine in addition to the normal criteria for a dating relationship, the financial status of one party and the desires of the other. This may seem like an easy task except that it is quite common for those in positions of great wealth to not be entirely forthcoming as to their alleged levels. The other party may also exaggerate their perceived worth and overstate their desires as well.
The millionaire dating services although in the business of introductions has many more topics of concern to address than the traditional introduction service. In addition to physical and emotional compatibility, they must address issues of fiscal compatibility as well. This does not mean that both parties must be on the same financial level but both must have what the other holds of value and can provide that need. We certainly have come a long way form the brokered marriages in "Fiddler on the Roof."
Professional Singles Too Busy For Bars
The company is in the middle of merger or large acquisition and all are spending long hours at the office. Friends and relatives invite you out for a cocktail or dinner at the newest hotspot in town but are forced to decline as you have entered the ranks of the professional singles too busy for bars. It is not uncommon, one has to make choices in life and to get to the power position many dream of, hard decisions must be made. It is at this time you are trying to find some sort of balance in life, but for professional singles too busy for bars the choices are not many. Don't fear all is not lost as with just a bit of thought and imagination one can have the best of both worlds.
Firstly, decide if you're going to these hotspots is to spend quality time with good friends, enjoy the evening and chat aimlessly while sipping your favorite Martini, or are you on the hunt for that special person who can make the rest of your life abundant with incredible bliss or at least the rest of that evening! It seems that many professionals have taken refuge on the various Internet dating sites which cater to any and every niche group imaginable.
The use of online dating sites has made the search for a relationship, regardless of the type, incredibly more efficient and effective. This enables those singles to begin their search for a relationship right from the comfort of their own home or office during lulls in their busy schedules. Imagine you are waiting for an important phone while watching economic news stream across CNBC. Once can now simultaneously browse the personals on their favorite online dating site and make note of any individuals that they might want to contact at some later point. Compare this to having to dress for the evening, commute to the venue with hopes that one incredible person may catch your eye out of a hundred.
These established men and women can view thousands of profiles, which through specific search criteria are within those parameters they deem important in a significant other. Instead of spending an hour getting to know one person who may or may not have these qualities, the busy executive can now break the ice with a hundred individuals in the time it used to take to know one person. Of course these numbers are whittled down to a select few that you may want to contact in real life and invite for a person to person interaction. For hard-working demanding individuals it's all about the numbers and in this case, time is an important asset so the more people you can meet in the shortest amount of time is of great importance.

Jim Williams has been watching birds and writing about their antics since before "Gilligan's Island" went into reruns. Join him for his unique insights, his everyday adventures and an open conversation about the birds in your back yard and beyond.
Many bird species had a tough June. The frequent and heavy rains destroyed some nests and in certain cases nestlings. Some bird species had a chance to nest again. For others, biology made that impossible.
Hard hit were species nesting in wetlands or on marsh shoreline where rising water levels dislodged or covered nests. Birds nesting on or near the ground in flooded areas also lost nests, eggs, or nestlings. Wind blew nests and contents to the ground.
If loss occurred before the eggs hatched there was a chance the birds would nest again. If, however, chicks were lost, then the breeding season for the parents ended. Once eggs hatch, the reproductive system of the female bird shuts down.
Going into the middle of June, birds simply might not have had time to start over and successfully fledge birds that would be mature enough to migrate or survive winter.
Mark Martell, director of bird conservation for Audubon Minnesota said blackbirds, rails, grebes, and terns in particular were at risk from rising water levels. He pointed out that songbirds, too, faced problems if wet weather made insects hard to find.
Birds feeding hatchlings rely heavily on insects because of their fat and protein content. Missing a couple of days of food because of heavy rains could mean chicks starve.
"This is the kind of situation," Martell said, "where the most fit chicks survive and the weak die."
If we're living in weather's new normal, and it's beginning to look that way, these losses will continue. Birds will nest as they have for millions of years, awareness of extended extreme wind and rain a distant evolution away.
An article in the June 24 edition of The New York Times discussed content of a report about our economy in a world of "unchecked global warming." The author, Justin Gillis, wrote that in 100 years residents of the Midwest could expect "20 days each year in which heat and humidity make it functionally impossible for humans to be outdoors."
What about birds and other animals?
What happens to birds when it is too hot and humid outdoors for humans? Is there impact on the plants and insects that provide food for birds? Do birds simply become stressed, as do we, and die?
Certainly, the first concern is for human life, climate impact on where and how we live. And the next century is a long time from now. But whatever conditions we create for ourselves, by action or neglect, we create for animals as well.
This Lark Bunting was photographed in South Dakota on a July day when the temperature was pushing 100 degrees. The bird was exposing as much skin as possible and panting in an effort to cool itself.
One of my grandsons is becoming surrogate father to one or more House Sparrows. This is happening Thursday afternoon. The first of three eggs he has in his room under a heat lamp is so so slowly being pried open by a very tiny, very pink bird. In one other egg the occupant has poked a hole as it begins to hatch.
I would have bet a lot of money that this would not happen.
Four days ago, Cole, who is 12, and I were checking nest boxes on my bluebird trail. House Sparrows, non-native birds that out-compete bluebirds and Tree Swallows for nesting space, are not favorites of mine. When I find a nest in one of my boxes, perhaps once a season in 40 boxes, I pull the nest out, eggs and the messy nest falling to the ground, where I leave them.
Cole asked if he could have the eggs. "Sure, they're yours." It's not often that anyone gets close looks at songbird eggs. Cole is an enthusiastic birder with a love of anything alive (or dead) and outdoors. So, he took the eggs.
"Can I have the nest?" he asked. My thoughts went to bird lice before I said yes. Why not? I had no idea that he would reconstruct the nest in a box in his bedroom, find a heat lamp, and incubate the eggs.
He called that night to tell me he had candled one of the eggs — not easy with a cream-colored egg blotched with brown — but, he said he saw the outline of a chick. He sounded excited.
These are bird lessons hard to find, and I was happy for him. He was going to be disappointed when the eggs didn't hatch, but that's a lesson, too.
Just after one o'clock today, Thursday afternoon, Cole's sister Sophie called and said, "Grandpa, you have to come over and see Cole's baby birds."
And so I found three kids, ages 12, 8 and 6 huddling over this jury-rigged nursery, watching an incredibly small and delicate sparrow push against the shell, rest, push again, rest, that routine to continue for hours, I'm sure. You can't buy this. I'm offering no help or direction, but will if he asks. Right now, Cole is using the Internet for answers. He is ready with meal worms as food. He has not given thought to fecal sacs, but he will.
I'll report as this progresses. Whatever happens this will be unforgettable for these kids. And for me.
By the way, in case you wonder, Cole's possession of eggs, nest, and now live birds is legal because House Sparrows, as non-native invasive species, are not protected. Unless you get too close to Cole's babies.
Here is a photo of the chick making its initial appearance in the world. What you see in the opening is a wing. The eggs are about three-quarters of an inch in length. The second photo shows the bird after emerging from the egg, a process that tpok about two hours. It ate bits of meal worm an hour after that. In the second photo, the bird's head is pointed down, the end of its beak overlapping the egg on the left.
The female Canada Goose nesting on our pond hatched six goslings early Tuesday morning. They spent the day under her wings, moving to the water sometime this (Wednesday) morning. Mid-day Tuesday the Hooded Merganser nesting in one of our duck boxes appeared with four chicks. As soon as the geese left the platform, she and the chicks moved in. They can be seen climbing aboard in the lower left corner of the platform.
These are photos of a pair of Red-tailed Hawks mating. I've been watching this pair for about two weeks, ever since I discovered their nesting site. A few days ago I was fortunate enough to be on site and in the right place when their brief mating encounter took place. Both birds are using their wings for balance. The male is on top. The female has raised her tail and pulled it to the left. (Her tail is light, showing a reddish tint). In the first photo the male has his tail (dark rectangle) in its usual position as he mounts the female. To transfer sperm, the male also twists his tail to the left ( second photo) to facilitate contact of his cloaca with the female's cloaca. This particular encounter lasted about five seconds. Development of the egg in the female takes about 24 hours. The female will lay one egg per day until she has a complete clutch of one to five eggs. Incubation takes from 28 to 35 days. If the egg has markings, those are deposited on the shell during its passage through the uterus. Rapid movement through the uterus produces streaks of color, slower movement spots. Red-tailed Hawk eggs are white or buffy, marked with buff, brown, or purple.
A Great Horned Owl nest holding the hen and two chicks can easily be seen at Silverwood Park in St. Anthony. (Park personnel have established a limit to approach to prevent disturbing the birds.) The hen and her chicks are nesting in the hollow of a broken branch in a large tree very close to a paved walking path, about 30 feet up. Visitors should have no problem locating the birds. Just look for the photographers, ever-present at this unusual viewing opportunity. The young owls appear to be about six weeks old. The male owl often can be seen perched, sound asleep, high in a nearby tree. That bird, as you can see from the photo below (not a very cooperative bird) is much lighter than its mate. Coloration of this species is highly variable. This female has typical adult coloration. The male tends more toward the lighter birds found most often far north. Great Horned Owls can be so light as to resemble Snowy Owls. This one is far from that, but interesting nonetheless. The owls should be visible for several more weeks. Once the young birds leave the nest they often remain in its vicinity. To find them, drive to the park's most distant parking lot. There is a paved walkway leading between two park buildings. Follow that pathway approximately 200 yards. You might also find interesting the courtship behavior of at least seven Eastern Chipmunks in a tangle of brush and fallen logs immediately to the right of the walkway from the best owl-viewing spot. Friday, they were chasing each other incessantly. The chipmunks are very obvious right under the eye of the female owl. The male owl, the family's provider, sleeps during the day, hunting at night. Perhaps that explains the mammals' apparent daytime nonchalance.

Pollenless Pepos?
tcstoehrJuly 5, 2010
As if it's not bad enough that I get only very rare male blossoms on my zukes and patty pans, both of my Sunburst patty-pans' male flowers are pollenless. The stigma looks small and stunted and not a grain of pollen to be seen. The zuke nearby has plenty of pollen on his large, dusty stigma. Is this a phase they go thru? Weather induced? Bad seed? What's the deal?
No, they're not young at all. They were planted very early and suffered through an extended cold, wet spring time. They're several feet wide with huge leaves and more female blossoms that I can shake a stick at. It's just the two Sunbursts having this problem, the zuke right next to them has normal male flowers, although damn few.

"After looking and plumiging through all the options I fell in love with this design. After reading the review I decided against it and then later just decided to bite the bullet and trust my instincts! For me I don't have an inner bride gene and I absolutely gushed and ooooo and ahhhhh'd when I got my invitations in. wedding Paper Divas went above and beyond to help make my set special and customized. I went through 4 different drafts and each time they responded in a timely manner and amazing customer service! So completely happy!"
"I really appreciated the proofing process. I wanted to make some changes to the wording of the invite. The changes came back more quickly than I expected, and I appreciated the edits for consistency. I was very pleased with the paper and design quality as well."
"I made the invitations a dark blue color to match the color that I chose for my wedding. The quality and printing of the invitations were very good, they turned out even better then I thought they would. I love the whimsical design of the swirls, everything shown on the invitation is very clear and legible. You get exactly what you approve the designer to do. Everyone who received the invitation loved it. They thought it it was very pretty. I just wish it had a little more space for the reception information."
"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"
"Honestly the card came out exactly how I wanted. I based our engagement photo shoot around getting this shot for our invitations. It came out great. here was a minor hiccup that both my fiance, myself and WPD missed with a spelling but it was quickly corrected and new invites sent out within days. I am so so so happy with the invites and Kat was amazing on the phone. Doing this online saved me so much money. I am so happy with the final product."

John Gay was an English poet and dramatist and member of the Scriblerus Club. He is best remembered for The Beggar's Opera (1728), a ballad opera. The characters, including Captain Macheath and Polly Peachum, became household names.
Early Life

A hare who, in a civil way,
Was not dissimilar to GAY,
Was well known never to offend,
And every creature was her friend.

She started at the frightful sounds,
And doubled to mislead the hounds;
Till, fainting with her beating heart,
She saw the horse, who fed apart.

Hey guys.. new around here so bare with me.
Ramping up towards getting a brew kit and starting to make some home brews.
So far I've ordered up a few books (How To Brew, Joy of Home Brewing and Designing Great Beers) as I figured that's the best place to start learning.
Now regarding home brew kits.. what are some good ones?
I've been leaning towards the kit from Northern Brewer: In particular, their Deluxe Starter Kit.
Is this a good kit to start with? I'm looking for some fairly easy to use, but also something I can grow with.
When I searched on here, it was mentioned that knowing what style you plan on brewing is helpful when picking a kit. I don't see myself doing and meads, ciders, wines, etc.
Any help or info would be appreciated.
you might want to shop around a bit there. e.g. you can use the bottling bucket as a primary if you just add a drilled lid to it. i got my original kit for $60 - one glass secondary, bottling bucket/primary, siphon, hydrometer, racking cane, capper, siphon tubing, bottle filler. if you're on a tight budget, you can definitely economize - the boil pot is going to cost you a good amount, probably $50+ for stainless steel, bit less for aluminum.
on the other hand - if you think you're going to get stuck on the hobby (and the odds are you will!) - it's not a bad package. you'll end up buying more than the bare minimum - i now have four plastic buckets and one glass secondary (i don't secondary much - my upcoming lager will be in glass for a while, but most stuff is three weeks in primary then into bottles).
ANy of those kits are jst fine and they won't go obsolete if you ramp things up.
I always recommend from Midwest.
With the additional carboy (glass jug), you can have a dedicated secondary vessel that will allow you to free up the primary for another batch sooner.
Welcome to the hobby/obsession...
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
I'd go with that midwest kit - just add another stopper+airlock and you can have two batches on the go at any one time - one in primary, one in secondary (or even use the glass for a primary - might need a blow off tube then).
I think it's better value than the one you had found on the other site.
Add any beer kit from the same place and you're in business. Don't be shy of anything that talks about "steeping grains" - it's just like making tea (if you let the tea bag sit for 30 minutes...). The steeped grains add much more interesting flavours and character to your beer. If you prefer to keep it simple, go with a standard west coast pale ale or wheat beer extract kit - they are really easy to make, fairly quick to mature ready for drinking, and if you're a fan of craft beers, there's not much that beats drinking a decent pint of beer that you made yourself.
Personally, I recommend the intermediate kit from Midwest. It has a little more room to expand your brewing right away.
The Midwest kits with steeping grains come with a muslin bag but, IMO, the larger reusable grain bags are worth it.
Check the kit - I know that AHS kits that have steeping grains come with the grains already in the bag and good to go, you might as well order your kit from midwest too and check with them directly. I just mentioned steeping grains because it makes the beer more flavourfull and it requires no extra equipment.
Dry hopping is putting hops in the secondary or if you aren't using a secondary then maybe putting hops in the primary after a week or so. The volume you would dry hop is small, like 1-2oz, and you could use one of those herb bouqeut garni bags from a kitchen supply store. That said, when I dry hopped an IPA I just threw the hops in and filtered out using some cheese cloth when moving to the bottling bucket. Worked like a charm and the beer really got a boost from the dry hopping. But keep it simple for brew #1, that's my advice.
thanks for the tips and advise guys. it appreciated.
Looks like I'm going to order up the Intermediate Kit from Midwest.. along with a Pale Ale kit and probably a few random accessories that aren't included but were included in the kit from Northwest. From the looks of it, i should be able to get more stuff while still costing less than the Northwest kit.
Then i'll just need to snag a brewing pot from Kohls since i have a gift card there..lol
2 quick questions before I head off to Kohls this weekend:
With the brewing pot.. is stainless steel the best way to go? Also, what size should I look in to? 4gal.. 5gal?
Thanks again for the help

Overcoming its initial weakness, the rupee on Thursday broke its eight-session-long losing streak closing higher by 9 paise at 47.55/56 against the U.S. currency following firm equity markets and a weak dollar overseas.
Fresh dollar selling by exporters and some banks as well as slowdown in capital outflows too supported the rupee rise.
In an active trade at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit opened a tad lower at 47.65/66 per dollar from previous close of 47.64/65.
It touched a low of 47.95 in late morning trade following some weakness in local stocks after opening firm.
Later, the rupee bounced back in line with smart rebound in equities and concluded at 47.55/56.
In last eight sessions, the rupee had lost 185 paise or 4.04 per cent.
"Yesterday RBI had intervened into the market thus appreciating the rupee from its opening. The same scenario is seen today and possibility of RBI's intrusion at near 48-mark cannot be ruled out completely," India Forex Advisors CEO Abhishek Goenka said.
Alpari Financial Services (India) CEO Pramit Brahmbhatt said, "The rupee took cues from global markets where dollar traded weak against the major currencies. Equities were also bullish and closed up by one per cent which further appreciated the rupee."
The BSE benchmark Sensex, which was down by about 165 points in late morning deals, closed up by nearly 167 points or 1.0 per cent.
