Bush beans in a 5 gallon pot?
My kids and I planted some bush bean seeds a week or two ago, and the little sproutlings just reached the surface. We planted them in a black 5 gallon container and we have 6 sproutlings.
My questions:
1. Will the beans produce if grown in a 5 gallon container? Or should I transplant into a larger container? If I need something larger, about how large should I go?
2. If the 5 gallon container is ok, should I eliminate all but one plant? Or can I grow more than one?
3. I added EB Stone Sure Start (4-6-2) to the planter right before we planted the seeds. I also was given some EB Stone Tomato and Vegetable food (4-5-3). At what point do I add more fertilizer?
4. The leaves of the new sproutlings seem a bit yellowish at the edges. Is that typical?
On behalf of myself and my kiddos (especially my pre-schooler who seems to be fascinated by this whole process!), I thank you for any info!
BTW I did not use an inoculant (read about it only after I planted the seeds). Is it too late to add? I also have citrus GrowMore, which is chelated iron and other micronutrients, plus I have liquid kelp that I can also add. And what about coffee grounds? Do beans like them?
What kind of soil did you use in the container? I would probably thin to 1 plant in a 5 gallon container. I've never transplanted beans, but 1 (2 max) per 5 gallon container is good if you want them to grow properly and produce. If it's just a fun experiment, leave them and see what happens. IMO skip the inoculant. With containers I like to fertilize with a weak solution of liquid fertilizer like Miracle gro at 1/4 strength with every watering.
I planted the seeds using EB Stone Edna's Best Potting Soil. So maybe I'll leave two in on opposite sides of the pot. My son is in awe at this whole process, so even if we only get a few beans, it will have been worth it!
If I want to plant some that will actually produce, how large of a container should I use?
This Ohio State University FactSheet has a good compendium of recommendations.
They recommend something that is perhaps surprisingly small, 8" or 1.5 gallons [per plant].

I think you should leave all the seedlings in the container. I grew about 15 in a 15 gallon pot last year, and they produced enough to feed a family of four a few meals a week for about three weeks. Didn't seem crowded to me. Bush beans have a short period of producing and need to be picked as soon as they are ready, which means pods a little smaller than green beans you would buy in the store. As soon as you allow pods to get oversized, they will shut down. I actually grew Filet Beans, which are small plants. So my advice may be wrong if you have beans that grow larger bushes.
Well we are down to two plants in my 5 gallon container, and we're now about a month into the growing period. I was thinking about planting another couple of seeds in the same pot so that when the current ones are done, we'll have another crop waiting. Will that work? Any thoughts?

Pakistan intends to charge Musharraf with treasontags: Pakistan, Perez Musharraf, treason, Islamabad
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said Monday that his newly installed government intends to press treason charges against the former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, setting up a potential clash with Pakistan's powerful military.
In a speech to Parliament on Monday that was sharply critical of the military, Mr. Sharif said that Mr. Musharraf had to answer for his acts during his years in power, comments that drew loud applause from Mr. Sharif's supporters.
But the government has stopped short of pressing formal charges against Mr. Musharraf because Mr. Sharif says he wants to first consult with the country's other political parties.
The treason case against Mr. Musharraf is pending in the Supreme Court, and charges have also been pressed in four other cases relating to Mr. Musharraf's rule from 1999 to 2008. He has remained under house arrest at his villa outside Islamabad since April, shortly after his return from years of exile abroad....

When it comes to people at risk of suicide, quick access to professional help can be a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, soldiers in combat zones traditionally have had to endure long waits to see a mental health specialist. But then Lt. Col. William Geesey, product manager of the Army's Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care, spearheaded an effort to use technology to digitally connect soldiers in the field with mental health specialists, helping them get a jump on the diagnosis and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder or any other mental health issue.
We had already been working on a number of telehealth initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan, so we didn't really start from scratch. The Army suicide prevention campaign kicked off a lot of the focus on soldier suicides and [other mental health issues]. There was a perception of a lack of access to mental health specialists in theater. Some studies show you've got ratio of 1 to 10,000 or [1 to] 15,000 when it comes to licensed clinical providers and soldiers, and they're spread out all over the place. The challenge was really about access.
Travel in Afghanistan is difficult and dangerous. We've got soldiers spread all over in a wide area, so the goal was to really increase access to those service members. What we did was to basically leverage existing commercial off-the-shelf technology in a new way as a force multiplier for mental health and health care providers.
We already had significant experience in theater. We had been operating beginning in Iraq in 2004, 2005, so we were familiar with the environment. We had been in Afghanistan since 2007, so we knew our customers and their needs. The Army's attention and focus moved to suicide prevention, and we looked at how we could better leverage technology to help the warfighters who are out there.
With any new initiative, there's a little resistance to the effort. But people came onboard really quickly because they saw the value and the need in the project. The greatest challenge was probably overcoming the bureaucracy of network access. The Army has a lot of different networks, and anywhere you go, you need to get permission from someone different.
After we set up initially in Afghanistan — even before we got feedback on the pilot — there was a real demand to expand it, and we immediately expanded to Iraq and Kuwait. Another significant challenge was the introduction of a new technology in the middle of war and casualties. Everyone is already working on overload, and you show up and say, "Hey, we've got something new for you to do."
Thirty-eight percent of the providers who were surveyed said this capability reduced travel time by 24 to 36 hours. Thirty percent of the time, it was taking 24 to 36 hours to get to the location of a service member who needed some mental health services. Now we can bring that soldier through a [video processing capability] to the provider.
I've been doing this for a long time; I've been with the Army almost 28 years. These are my brothers and sisters, the people I work with every day in harm's way, and I feel a real connection to them. Basically, it's about making a difference for them, making their lives easier and giving them greater capabilities in the missions they have to do.

According to foreign media reports, the global Internet retailing giant Amazon has invited media to attend the company's new product Conference that will be held in Los Angeles on September 6, the industry generally believe that this Conference will publish the latest Amazon Kindle Fire. In view of the success of Google's Nexus series, especially the Nexus 7 Tablet PC challenge, Amazon has no choice, can only launch Kindle Fire compete with Google, Amazon updates their product at a low price, which becomes more meaningful.
It is learned that Amazon is expected to break into the Smartphone market in the industry, this idea seems not absurd. According to the Wall Street Journal reported, earlier this summer, Amazon has worked with Asian phone manufacturer to build Amazon's own Smartphone to "contact."
Analysts on the future of the Amazon market operation, make 5 big expectations:
1, launched a "free" subsidies of Kindle
Newspaper and magazine publishers, through waste ink tank paper beats to make the circulation, wireless carriers are simple digital subscription to gain greater "circulation".
As the eBook and Tablet PCs prices continue to fall, the industry generally believe that the digital number of subscriptions will increase, and will further stimulate the Amazon and other manufacturers are promoting "free" hardware products that users promised two year digital subscription contract, this trend will snowball-like, become increasingly common.
2, discloses the real sales data
Amazon has always been like a huge amount of data. Such as the Harry Potter series of books sales, Amazon gave no detailed sales data. When Amazon sells their product, looks forward to that situation to change. In the era of Amazon's Kindle, Amazon often does not reveal any indicators on Kindle product. This case needs to change, Amazon is expected to follow the example of Apple, as Apple details iPhone, iPads, iPod and Mac product classifications, such as sales, rather than only to abstract data.
3, improved Prime Instant video service
Amazon's "Digital Sweden-buffet" service enables Amazon Prime users to enjoy free services at this point and get different results compared to rival Netflix, get endorsed by the majority of users. Currently, Amazon's applications are increasing, docking with the customer needs also need to improve. Netflix can increase billions of hours per month of streaming media, Amazon has to do better.
4, Amazon Smartphone launched with subsidies that adaptation to the policy
After Amazon launched Smartphone, how to obtain market recognition--the question is inescapable. There are too many manufacturers in the market do better than Amazon Android smartphones this area excellent, Amazon want to rise that are not easy, you need sword side.
United States two major mobile operators will continue to maintain "do not push an unlimited data plan" policy, which opened to gain market recognition of the door for Amazon. Using Amazon of device of user all Internet time will in Amazon shop, more important is to convenient they purchased Amazon video, and audio, and Amazon Cloud and Amazon new of social game products--and these does not needs operators directly face consumers, as long as purchased Amazon of smart phone, by Amazon of content provides commercial provides phase adaptation of subsidies policy, this initiatives will make Amazon more competitiveness in smart phone market.
If Amazon want to hit that Amazon can make money in other ways, and subsidy policy will be a real difference (compared with Apple). Even more important was Amazon subsidization policies adapted to smartphones and will help the Amazon's fledgling digital music and video services more competitive in the market. However, Apple iPhone5 will also be launched on September, which give an big press on Amazon, according to reports, many iphone fans are looking forward to it, even some people have bought all kinds of iphone accessories, such as iphone dustproof plugs, iphone data lines, iphone cases, iphone power packs and so on.
5, start a positive school policy
About the large number of school students, was popular on campus this year "get one iPad". This suggests that Apple's iPad is Amazon's biggest rival, although the price iPad is twice times than Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7, continue to seize the schools market. Apple with its strong market position, became the most influential e-book provider for many schools.
So how does Amazon deal with? Many years ago, the Amazon is a technical lead with Kindle product became a pioneer in the industry, but how to curb the momentum of Apple in this area.

Hi Everyone
I am a partial grain extract brewer who can barely afford ingredients for a batch of beer, let alone beer brewing software! I have been playing around with a recipe using the free MyBeertools online at beertools.com. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to factor in late extract additions when calculating a recipe with this site. I used the Beersmith free trial version for awhile and loved it. I plan on buying it ASAP but in the meantime I am stuck using this (relatively) limited calculator. Any suggestions?
Is there a better free calculator out there?
The main thing that changes with late vs. early additions is your hops utilization. It's not completely 100% accurate, but unless you are doing very large late hops additions, you should be OK doing something like this:
First step is finding the IBUs. All you need to do is set up the recipe as if you were brewing it with a late extract addition, but forgot to add it at the end of the boil. So, your boil gravity will reflect what is your normal boil gravity up until that late addition, and your IBU calculation, in particular the majority of the bittering that you get from the 60 minute hops addition, should be largely correct.
Then to get your actual gravity going into the fermenter, just add the late extract addition to the previous step, and that gravity should be the correct one.
That's a great idea. I knew there must be a work around. Sometimes I need an extra brain to help me see it! Cheers!
Brewer's Friend has every single calculator you could ever need: http://www.brewersfriend.com/stats/
Here is the one for IBUs: http://www.brewersfriend.com/ibu-calculator/
Our full blow recipe editor also has a 'late addition' checkbox just for this purpose.http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebre...pe/calculator/
I'm doing a bunch of research on partial mash brewing, with the hopes of evolving out of extract brewing into partial mash. I was looking at recipes on beertools.com and this is probably a dumb question but I was wondering, is the batch size the same as the amount of water that I should have in my pot when the grains/extract is added? Like if I'm aiming for a 5 gal batch does that mean I need 5 (or more due to some boiling off) in the pot off the bat or can I do it like an extract recipe kit where the boil is at about 3 gal and I add 2 gal of water to the fermenter?

Used Snowblower Recommendations
I would like to get some recommendations on used mid-sized two stage snow blowers between 6-8 hp. Some models I am considering are Toro 624 - 824. Ariens st624, st724, st824 , Simplicity 760 and Snapper, but I probably missed a few. On a well cared for machine, what should be a max age without having a restoration project and good parts availability? I realize this will vary by brand.
Snowblowers are rather simple, so it will come down to two things: construction quality and engine.
First engine. Many snowblowers had Techumseh Snow King engines; but they are out of business. Parts are available though and dealers and small engine repair places do fix them. Besides, there is little that can go wrong.
Second, is construction. Looking at new units, the Simplicity Large Frame and Pro models are built like tanks. Not sure of the trade-offs that would be in the medium frame units. 26" and up, model beginning with an "L" is large frame. I haven't seem a cheaply built Ariens; they seem alone in that their low end 'Sno-Tek by Ariens' line is also well built. I've never seen a Toro I'd consider well built. Beyond the plastic vs metal discussions (lots of plastic in the Toro), the scoop and impeller have numerous reinforcements that no other snowblower manufacturer thought necessary. Tapping on the case reveals it to be thinner. The Husqvarna 'Crown'/XLS models are also well built; their base models are pretty tinny.
Simplicity is owned by Briggs and Stratton which also owns Snapper and makes Deere. The models based on the Simplicity large frame have a black auger bearing housing on the side of the scoop and a cast iron auger gearcase.
Edge: Around the 8 th yr. replacement parts are usually just around the corner on most Brands , friction disc , wheel assemblies axle shafts and bearing usually begin to show wear even on routinely maintained units. Any of these components along with drive and impeller belts are normal wear and tear items that without inspection and maintenance can wear even sooner .

RIO DE JANEIRO--Brazilian shipyards will increase construction of oil platforms and drilling rigs to meet the needs of state-run energy giant Petrobras, President Dilma Rousseff said in her weekly column.
"We already have platforms built in Brazil and we are building many more," Ms. Rousseff said in a written response to a question from a teacher in Macae, home to Petrobras's operation base for the offshore Campos Basin. The Campos Basin accounts for more than 85% of Brazil's crude oil production.
Ms. Rousseff noted that Brazil's shipyards, once among the world's largest, fell into decline in the 1990s. Demands made by her mentor and former president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to build more platforms and drilling rigs in Brazil are starting to bear fruit, Ms. Rousseff said.
"Brazil shipyards have orders for 21 production platforms and 30 drilling rigs," she said. "All of this represents generates employment and income in Brazil and also gives a boost to our shipbuilding industry."

Best Thai Appetizers With a Surfer Side (2011)
Cholada Thai Beach Cuisine
Some might find Cholada Thai Beach Cuisine in Malibu too terminally atmospheric, with its sea-corroded beach-hut ambience, thick oak tables and sagging wooden windows, situated next door to a working bait shop straight out of Gilligan's Island. But this isn't a façade for tourists, it's real. You sit a few feet from Pacific Coast Highway, watching surfers as they strip, don their wet suits and vanish over a small bluff toward the waves at Topanga Beach. Inside this tiny cafe, despite the racket from the kitchen, you hear three college guys recount their beer-swilling the night before — while at another table the diners earnestly discuss the nexus between compassion and redemption. Any minute, the ghost of Bukowski might saunter in. Why are you there? For the appetizers! Shrimp-in-a-blanket — deep-fried in spring-roll skins that the chefs twirl tight to look like tiny mummies; and fish cakes — ugly brownish lumps that resemble seriously overdone hunks of omelette. Both deliver the same wow: Bite down, seafood melts in mouth, swallow. 18763 Pacific Coast Hwy., Malibu. (310) 317-0025, choladathaicuisine.com.

Window Style Pop Up Card
This pop up card, is window (or flat box) style, a mechanism well used by Tracy Chong and Willem Boning.
The scherenschnitte tree pattern is from paper cutters.
It looked a little Christmas-in-July to me, so I went with it. For the outside I used striped paper I had left over from last year's cards.
Cleaning up the tracing took a long time, so I'm going to make you guys work a little for the pattern. :) Let's say I get...um...how about 15 comments... on this post and I'll add a link to download the cutting files for free. Maybe I flatter myself?

Anyone use Word Perfect?
I have always used Office 97, but it won't run on my new computer (XP). This machine came with Word Perfect 2002, which seems nice (if I can get it figured out). Can anyone tell me how in the world you do labels (Avery) with Word Perfect? I always used the Avery Wizard with Office 97. I use lots of labels, both for my soaps and candles, and for mailing. I appreciate any help.
No clue on that, but what can you tell me about the Avery wizard? I've talked to several folks who say it's great to work with. And is it www.avery.com for the address?
Thanks, Hazel
PS-just wondering if they have an updates you could download? I had to do that for my Kodak digital camera..wouldn't work on this new puter till I downloaded the updates.....
Yes, Hazel, the Avery Wizard is available (free) at the Avery website. It is great-- every label Avery makes can be customized with it, either singly (many different entries on a sheet) or a whole sheet of identical stickers. I am just lost without it! I tried going through the Microsoft Support KNowledge Base but couldn't find a thing relating to XP and Office 97. I guess I will ask on the Computer Forum. Be sure and try the Wizard. It intergrates into all versions of Microsoft Office and is an indispensible tool for anyone who makes labels.
Hi Susan,
I have been using Word Perfect for years. Its super easy to format labels. Under the top tab that says format, if you go 2/3 of the way down, you will see labels (fourth from the bottom). Scroll through the labels until you find the one you want to use and select it. It's that easy. You need to insert a hard return (control/enter) between the labels to separate them. I hope I've explained this clearly enough - its really easy. If you have any other Word Perfect questions, feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com.

Mass of aphids on gorgeous flowers!! Help!
I have two hellebores that are in their second year next to my front door. I cut them back in late March and they have put out masses of glorious flowers and leaves -- only to get what was a bad aphid infestation which I carefully hosed off about 2 weeks ago...now 2 weeks later there are twice as many aphids, literally covering the stems and backs of leaves. There is also (I assume not coincidentally) quite a bit of the sticky "condensation" on many of the leaves, and all in all its just a sad thing. As much as it would break my heart to cut the flowers off, I don't know what else to do. I really don't have the time these days to do aphid patrol as often as it appears I would need to keep these plants nice.
Any suggestions at all would be very appreciated.
It is very much time to cut the flowers off!! Hellebores in this area start blooming in February and by the end of May, the flowers are well past their prime and have set seed - even though they may still look somewhat attractive, it's time. Hellebores have their own species of aphid and they tend to appear at the end of the season when the flowers have gone over - in fact, many hellebore growers use their arrival as an indication that it IS the proper time to remove old flowers. Once the flowers are gone, the aphids pretty much disappear.
btw, the "sticky condensation" is honeydew or aphid excrement. Just wash it off. If you don't, it can be an invitation to the development of sooty mold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, readable account of famous 'little war.',
Kentspur (Er...Kent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zulu (Paperback)
It is almost a rite of passage for men of a certain age to have seen - and fallen in love with (in a manly way) - the film 'Zulu' with Stanley Baker and, of course, Michael Caine.
Such men can be spotted by their occassional use of phrases like 'sixty, I think we got sixty' or 'hold them, hold them!' etc etc. Fascination with the Zulu War bites early and holds on. When I was a kid, the classic was 'The Washing of the Spears' by Donald Morris - a book I have bought and given away three times. Now, in all good bookshops, it's Saul David's work.
As a long-standing Zulu War reader, I think it's pretty jolly good. He doesn't spend too much time in tortuous descriptions of Zulu life prior to the war - as some writers have done - and cuts to the heart of Lord Chelmsford's perfidy (in the blaming of Durnford for the Isandlwana dsiaster) more effectively than any book I've read. For David, there is no real 'mystery' as to who was primarily at fault at Isandlwana; it was Lord Chelmsford. The slimy set-up of the dead Colonel - led by Chelmsford's odious 'aide de camp' Colonel Crealock - is well-described with fluent indignation.
Chelmsford's failures after the Isandlwana catastrophe are also made revealingly clear. His abandonment of his own line of communication so he could not be superseded by his replacement Garnet Wolseley and his indecent haste to clear the site of the final battle at Ulundi so there could be no humliating reverse speak volumes about the fundamental 'rotter-ness' of the man.
David's book is not perfect. I have just finished 'Red Sabbath' by Robert Kershaw on Custer's Last Stand and the military precision and insight Kershaw brings to that colonial disaster would be well applied to Isandlwana. David does not have the clearest of narratives through that astonishing battle, but - don't get me wrong - it's not bad. Kershaw's book is exceptional and David - a Victorian specialist - does really well with the context of the war and mind-set of the men involved.
I was amused to see the most popular 'critical' review, which - judging from the books the 'customer' says they have authored - appears to come from Zulu War obsessive Ian Knight. Mr Knight has written an awful lot of books on the Zulu War and, prior to Mr David's intervention, was the 'go to' guy on the conflict. I'm not being nasty, but nothing Mr Knight has written (and sad to say I've read a lot of it) is anywhere near as good as what Saul David has produced and his 'review' is - well - a bit sour and stinks of grapes. Naughty Saul David not knowing how the rockets were fired! That's the big stuff, isn't it?
I think this is an excellent account of the most famous of Victoria's little wars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent history, compulsive reading,
Mr. Robert A. Swift (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zulu (Paperback)
I bought this book because the Zulu War has long interested me (and there's very little out there about it), and also because I recognised the author from BBC's Time Commanders(!)
If you try to find out about the Zulu War from other sources, there is a lot written about Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift but practically nothing about what happened before or after. Saul David's book is therefore an extremely valuable contribution as it gives this in a thorough but digestible way.
The build up to the war is explained, in terms of the political and career machinations of several key individuals. At times it's difficult to keep track of everyone who was involved. The invasion plan is explained, and the narrative moves seamlessly from preparation, to execution, to disaster, to blame. A number of little-reported episodes are expanded on in a fascinating way.
The mid-to-end section seems to go at a much faster pace and it feels a little like Saul David was in a hurry to finish this book. The aftermath gets a very short summary and I was thirsting for more as I read the last page, only to find that the last 25% of the book's pages were assigned to Notes, References, Sources etc. I am prepared to trust that the book is the best-researched piece out there and for the private reader this serves no purpose. What would have been more helpful is better maps, as (at the strategic level) a number of locations are repeatedly referred to that don't appear on the very small map you get of kwaZulu Natal.
A final thought is that the book could have told a little more from the Zulu perspective - the narrative is firmly from the British point of view. I guess this is a limitation of source material but a slight feeling pervades that David is writing about 'us' vs 'them'. A fuller Zulu perspective would have added even greater value and originality.
These grumbles are very small and minor, however, and I would encourage anyone with an interest in the subject to buy this book. It's main strength is David's very readable style and his wealth of small detail that brings this very rich period to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite History Of The Zulu War,
Neil Lennon (Watford) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zulu (Paperback)
I have to admit that like many others I developed a fascination with the Zulu War after having watched the Stanley Baker film "Zulu". Since then I have read a lot of books on the subject which go into varying levels of detail about the war but Saul David's book is the most readable and informative history to date.
As well as covering the most famous battles at Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift this book also covers a lot of lesser known battles that I was surprised to find are equally as fascinating to read about. For some reason other books barely mention the rest of the campaign but Saul David's "Zulu" vividly describes each episode in exciting and extremely readable prose.
Several highly detailed maps are provided at the front of the book showing the different battles and there are the usual collection of photo's and drawings to help illustrate the text.
Although the book does focus on the campaign from the British viewpoint the writing does show a great deal of respect for the bravery and achievements of the Zulu people. For a more detailed history of the Zulu's themselves Donald R Morris's "The Washing of the Spears" goes right back to the origins of the Zulu nation but doesn't do as good a job at describing the 1879 war.
If you want a stirring and engaging account of the Zulu War which will have you wanting to watch the movie "Zulu" again for the 500th time then I cannot reccomend Saul David's book more highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very enjoyable read.,
M. D. Budd (Grantham) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zulu (Paperback)
If you are looking at the reviews of this book then you almost certainly have a more than passing interest in what is a fascinating and at times gripping era in British military history.
The available literature for this subject is vast, the Zulu war being far better covered in both film and written works than say, the Opium wars or the war fought against the Maori nation. Because of this there are certainly more detailed and comprehensive books available, for example "The washing of the spears" by Donald Morris, which seems to be the "industry standard" and many others beside.
However this work stands as a good and comprehensive account of the war against the Zulu nation, and crucially is a very well crafted book, easily accessible to teenage readers as well as the mature reader, at no point does the book become a tedious list of detail or technical blather. It does include some really interesting information on, for example, the Zulu perspective of several of the battles that I have not read else where. Well worth purchasing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting,
Mr Gordon Davidson "Gordy" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zulu (Paperback)
When I began reading this booking I was a little fearful that it would just be a series of descriptions of battles which I have previously found to be quite tedious.
Fortunately, this book is so much more. A lively cast of entertaining characters, some fascinating political machinations involving Queen Victoria and Disraeli, plenty of myth-debunking and some truly exciting battle descriptions.
A relatively easy read if you can get your head round some of the Zulu names (would have been nice to have been told how to pronounce them). The narrative flows well and there aren't too many of those annoying *'s interrupting the flow and turning your attention to an aside or clarification (the ones that are there are brief).
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping account of a tragic and brutal conflict,
By A Customer
A superbly-written new history that I found enthralling and shocking. While the events of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift might be familiar to many, they have never before been brought to life in quite such a compelling way. David gets under the skin of not just the terrified redcoats, but also the proud but doomed Zulu warriors. It is with the Zulu nation that David sympathises most - as they try to sue for peace, the British remained intent on their utter destruction. A heartbreaking story.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Zulu (Paperback)
Having seen the film on many occasions, I also wanted to read the book. I am pleased I have done so, as this appears to set out in great detail and accuracy the actual story of true events, before and after 'Rorke's Drift'. In fact I enjoyed it so much, I have read it twice already! It has also added to the enjoyment of the classic film of the same name.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much opinion and not enough history,
C. B. Walker (Northumberland UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zulu (Paperback)
I found this an interesting book, but spoiled by personal judgement and a Boys Own approach to heroism.The first question an author must ask himself is what would he have done when surrounded by a horde of Zulus intent on taking his life in an unpleasant manner. It is easy to make judgements from the comfort of an armchair. Secondly, not all heroes are 'blood and guts types', in fact most aren't. To denigrate Bromhead and Chard because of others personal opinion of them is I think grossly unjust as the historical records are very thin. Doubtless after Rorke's Drift most people would would also have been quite content to sit and smoke their pipe. Easy also to condemn some of the participants from their own pen, and then take others as being without fault or lie. Facts, Chelmsford made a number of serious errors that lead directly to Isandhlwana. Fact, Chard was the senior officer at Rorkes Drift, and he, together with Bromhead and Dalton and others conducted a sound defence. A fact worthy of merit I think, regardless of whether a contemporary or two found him a 'dull type. The Prince Imperial was a fool, and it takes an extraordinarily brave man, or another fool, to turn back and face certain death to save a fool. (And a frenchman to boot, lol). Also one who was riding a horse too tall for him to mount with ease, and who couldn't hit a barn door with his revolver. Sorry, but I do not find Carey guilty, and the suppressing of the Court Martial judgement reflects that while he perhaps for honour's sake ought to have returned, not many people would honestly regard the 'honour' of giving up their lives a justifiable reason for doing so. I find the authors approach to individuals incongruous when the he is happy to condone the slaughter of wounded Zulus as being in the heat of battle. I do not need a book to tell me that the film 'ZULU' is factually incorrect, such comments are for a film review. In summary, I found this book popularist and lightweight, with too many judgemental opinions made on the flimsiest of evidence, and little insight or understanding of the military mind. I would refer readers to any one of a number of better books for a fuller account of the Zulu war.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too many serious mistakes,
By A Customer
Given the author's admission in his Acknowledgements that he spent only a year researching and writing the book, it's hard not to feel that it is hurried. His prose is engaging and whisks the reader through the rather sad tale easily enough, but there are errors and omissions aplenty, and anyone with an interest in the war will easily spot the influence of recent specialist books on the subject (Lock and Quantrill's controversial study of Isandlwana, for example, Adrian Greaves' Rorke's Drift and The Curling Letters, my own National Army Museum and Prince Imperial books). There is no mention, for example, of the war of raid and counter-raid that took place along the Anglo-Zulu borders throughout the war, and several major characters - such as King Cetshwayo's adviser, the extraordinary 'White Zulu' John Dunn - are introduced only in footnotes. There are, moreover, a surprising number of factual mistakes. The Hales rocket was not fired from its trough by 'a hand-lit fuse' (p. 76), but by tugging on a lanyard attached to a friction detonator. The Imperial Mounted Infantry - a scratch cavalry force raised from volunteers from infantry battalions who could ride - were not 'armed with unwieldy Martini-Henry rifles' (p. 68) but with Swinburne-Henry carbines. James Rorke, the Irish border-trader who gave his name to Rorke's Drift, did not die 'childless' (p. 159); his sons, like many second-generation frontier farmers, crossed the colour divide and married Zulu wives, a choice which placed them outside the rigid confines of white colonial society, and has left their history largely unwritten. Frances Colenso, the daughter of the Bishop of Natal and defender of Durnford's reputation, was not 'Fanny' to her family (p. 64) but 'Nel'. The Natal Carbineers - one of the most important of the locally raised white volunteer units - are referred to as the Royal Natal Carbineers - a title they only enjoyed between 1935 and 1961. Indeed, there is a good deal of confusion in evidence here about the distinction between Volunteer troops - who were part-time soldiers raised under the Natal Volunteer Acts, did not enlist under Queen's Regulations, and who required a special dispensation to fight outside Natal territory - and the Irregulars, who were raised directly by the Crown for full-time service for a specified period.
Nit-picking? Perhaps, but these are all points which could have been resolved with a greater familiarity with even recent literature on the war. There are questionable judgements, too. Was Lord Chelmsford really 'offhand to the point of rudeness when dealing with Colonial officers' (p. 38)? Certainly, Chelmsford's experiences in the earlier Cape Frontier War had left him sceptical of colonial officers' judgement, but his manners were generally impeccable, and Commandant Hamilton Browne - himself a Colonial - noted that his personal behaviour was 'kind and courteous.. a manner that endeared him to all of us. No General that I ever served under in South Africa, was so respected and liked as he was, and certainly, no Colonial officer ever said a word against him'. In dealing with the events surrounding Isandlwana, the author is quick to point out that Lord Chelmsford, splitting his force on the eve of battle, failed to take a reserve supply of ammunition with him; later, at the height of the fighting, Quartermaster Bloomfield of the 2/24th is blamed for being 'pedantic' (p. 135) in the distribution of ammunition. The crucial point, however - that Bloomfield was husbanding the very reserve supplies, which Chelmsford had ordered to be made ready in case he needed them, is missed. And, in assessing the behaviour of an officer who had abandoned his men at the battle of Ntombe, Dr David remarks that 'there were marked similarities between Harward's conduct and that of Major Spalding at Rorke's Drift, the only difference being that Spalding did not abandon his men while an enemy attack was actually in progress' (p. 248). More could not, surely, hang on such a difference as that?
In his account of the crucial battle of Isandlwana, the author has followed a recent revisionist interpretation, which is by no means generally accepted; nothing necessarily wrong with that, but he makes no effort to evaluate contradictory evidence, to the extent that several statements given here simply cannot be supported. At the height of the battle, says the author, Second Lieutenant 'Dyson's small party never received the order [to withdraw] and were speared to a man' (p. 132). In fact, while Dyson's ultimate fate remains hotly debated, the only direct evidence - from either side - comes from the survivor, Captain Essex, who went out of his way to describe how he delivered that order to Dyson, and how Dyson obeyed. The conventional version of the start of the battle of Isandlwana - in which a British patrol stumbles upon the resting Zulu army, and provokes a spontaneous attack - is described as 'great cinema; but not the truth' (p. 123) - despite the fact that plenty of those who were there recalled the incident in exactly those terms.

Some voices in the Cuban-American community have expressed displeasure with Pope Francis due to his involvement in getting the United States to lift its embargo of the Republic of Cuba.
Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff in the Catholic Church's history, was a strong proponent of the United States lifting its restrictions on the Caribbean island nation.
In response to his connection to the U.S. normalizing relations with Cuba, some have vetted their frustration at the pope. more >>
A German author who recently traveled to the Middle East has declared that the Islamic State terrorist organization is "more dangerous than people realize."
Juergen Todenhoefer, an author and former politician who's been a critic of American foreign policy, recently went into territory held by ISIS to investigate the militant group.
In an interview with CNN published Monday, Todenhoefer noted that he had traveled to cities like Raqqa and Deir Ezzor in Syria and Mosul in Iraq. more >>
The Islamic State has been selling artifacts from churches and other cultural centers in the nation of Iraq to fund their organization, says a British publication.
ISIS is taking antiquities, including those worth millions of dollars, from the Middle Eastern country and selling them to prospective Western buyers, according to Oliver Moody of The Times.
"Willy Bruggeman, a former deputy director of Europol who is now president of the Belgian federal police council, said that some of the artefacts had almost certainly been sold illegally to buyers in the UK, although none had yet been traced to Britain," reported Moody on Wednesday. more >>
Lennon Lacy, 17, was found hanging from a swing set in North Carolina in Aug. this year, and now his girlfriend has spoken out and revealed she fears his death may be related to their relationship.
Michelle Brimhall, 32, and a mother of three, told Daily Mail that she had been dating Lacy for some time before his death. People in the small town of Bladenboro were reportedly not happy about their relationship, given their age difference and the fact that Lacy was black and Brimhall white. Brimhall explained that there could be a connection between his death and their relationship.
"I believe Lennon was murdered. The police ruled his death as suicide but Lennon would never harm himself," Brimhall said. "He's got too much love for life." more >>
The family of two Pakistani Christian teenagers, who were gang-raped at gunpoint in the Punjab Province by four Muslim men, is saying that they are being threatened by influential people in their village and warned not to press charges against the attackers.
The father of the two victims, Ilyas Masih, told police that his daughters, 16-year-old Sehrish and 14-year-old Farzana, went outside of their house in the village of Jaranwala during the middle of the night on Dec. 3 to go to the bathroom, since there are no bathrooms inside the house. But when the girls went outside, they did not return. The family began to frantically worry and filed a missing person's complaint with the local police, in which a search was launched to find them.
The two teens were found the next afternoon laying unconscious along the side of the road several miles away from their home village. The girls were taken to a hospital and later told police that a well-known local landlord and three other men had taken them at gunpoint, took them away and raped them. more >>
The controversial nonprofit group Invisible Children, which produced two influential documentaries that helped heighten awareness of the abduction and use of children as soldiers by the Lord's Resistance Army in the Ugandan civil conflict, has announced that it will officially close down by the end of 2015.
The organization is most notable for the 30-minute "Kony 2012" documentary, which called for the arrest of LRA leader Joseph Kony and also called for greater U.S. involvement against the LRA. The documentary, which went viral on YouTube when it was published in March of 2012, received over 100 million views in a matter of five days and helped raise more than $30 million for their cause.
The organization's CEO, Ben Keesey, announced in a recent video statement that the group has had difficulty maintaining funding and it's no longer viable for the organization to continue operating at its current levels. more >>

What Can I Do With This?
My main bath at the new place has a built in bar light on the med cabinet. I really don't like it, but don't have the money to replace both it and the med cab right now. I keep envisioning some kind of pretty "shade" or something I could make to cover the ugly bulbs and make it more attractive.
Anyone have any ideas?
Here is a link that might be useful:
Don't know how hot the bulbs get but I was thinking if you could make a wooden(oak maybe) box around the outside of the thing with a little place routed out on each side to slide in a long piece of decorative screen like metal or plastic like they use on some ceiling lights that have long fluorescent lights, folks have 1 in kitchen, it is very heavy, use something lighter. Could use jigsaw & thin -1/4 in. thick & make a scroll pattern in place of plastic or screen(might find an old room divider with the scroll work already done) you might have to attach that with hinges at top so you could lift up to change bulbs.. If bulbs get very hot that probably wouldn't work. Jan
first of all - it probably wouldn't look as bad if you put all matching bulbs in! I have a similar light bar in my bath, and I found that switching to clear glass bulbs made a huge difference from the frosted white bulbs.
Does the light bar go all the way to the wall? It seems to in the picture - which would limit your options for putting something around the bulbs.
I'm envisioning some type of cornice box - which may have to ended up 2 sided depending on the clearance to the side wall. You could do a fabric covered one - either a plain fabric and bedazzle it to your hearts content. Or a patterned fabric to tie in with the rest of the bathroom decor.
If you don't rely on having very bright light right there you could use the candle flame shaped lights.
I would also paint the fixture, your wall color, or oil rubbed bronze or black - what ever suits your scheme. I posted a howto link below.
Even tho I'm usually all for wood, and I like oak even tho its not in style right now, I would paint the wood of the cabinet to freshen it up. Oak painted black is one of my faves. Its nice if the grain texture comes through. In that case I might leave the fixture silver, but definitely change out the bulbs.
Good luck. You may come up with something you like so much that you'll not care to buy a new one, which would be great recycling as well as money saving.
Here is a link that might be useful: Shayna's vanity light redo
Somewhere, recently, I saw some "flowers" cut out of roof flashing and painted, then clipped over the lights in the light bar. Big lights might require something bigger than flashing--like big coffee cans or something.
You could make "shades" for each individual bulb using either coffee cans or wire coat hangers covered with whatever isn't flammable and fits your decor, or you could make a long hanger for the whole thing with the wire hanger base. I'm thinking maybe punched tin; that could be painted if you want a softer look.
How adventerous are you? I've seen some really cool light fixtures using metal baskets, graters and colanders, etc., that create awesome shadows.
When you remove the bulbs cover the empty socket with a "shot-glass" and glue a round mirror to the bottom, or maybe cover with a colored votive candle holder.

Our new devotional "If God Loves Me, Why Did I Lose My Job?" explores the struggle of unemployment. Sign up here.
Until the nineteenth century it was commonly assumed that Titus was written by the apostle Paul. Since that time some scholars have questioned the chronology, theology, ecclesiology, and vocabulary. For a brief discussion of these areas, see Pastoral Epistles: Introduction and 1 Timothy—Introduction: Authorship and Dating.
There is no compelling reason to accept non-Pauline authorship. The teaching and tone are consistent with Paul's other writings. Titus was probably written between a.d. 62-66 from some place in Greece, possibly Corinth.

But we're about to combine two of your most favorite things: booze and ICE CREAM! So I'm really excited to announce that we will be the exclusive distillery for St. Louis' own: Clementine's Creamery!
Clementine's Creamery is a phenomenal hometown ice creamery that produces delicious ice creams that are locally sourced and hand-crafted to perfection.You can look forward to pints of deliciousness coming soon!

Geekly Podcast #83!
Last summer, I was at a local event doing a tasting like usual. And amidst talking to all the interested people, I met a couple guys who produce an awesome podcast called Geekly Podcast. I began listening to it, and the geek in me really enjoyed it. (I was an English major, I love stories of all kinds… movies, tv shows, comics, etc…)
Fast-forward to last month when the Geekly team: Melwheezy, Tech Dre, and D-Jedi came out to the distillery and set up all their equipment and we had a great time talkin' (and drinking!) St. Louis whiskey!
Check it out here: GEEKLY PODCAST #83
Big thanks to Tech Dre, Melwheezy, & D-Jedi for having me on!!
Starting strong…
2015 is off to a rocking start for us! We've got in a bunch more barrels that we're slowly filling and we continue to get into great restaurants and bars… perhaps the biggest of the recent victories is Schnuck's at Ladue Crossing.
This is the location closest to my house and therefore where I do most of my (last minute) grocery shopping. It's incredibly satisfying to finally go in there and see StilL 630 on the liquor shelves!! Each new restaurant, bar, or liquor store that picks us up is a big deal and I get excited each and every time, but this one in particular is meaningful. This is one of those places I'd envisioned long ago when this distillery was just a dream in my head. And now it's real. It's truly an incredible feeling and I hope that all of you get to experience what it's like when your dreams that you've worked so hard for, start to come true.
RFT Holiday Spirits Follow Up
We had a great time at the very cool Third Degree Glass factory back in December for the Riverfront Times Holiday Spirits event!
Here is their recap video:
Join us next year!!
Go Time!
I can't believe that it's now 2015. Twenty-FIFTEEN! We are in the future. And that's awesome.
Obviously, there is a lot wrong with the world, and in our little corner of it as well. But I personally choose to believe that there is much, much more right with the world. The media intentionally feeds us death, horror, and treachery, because that gets ratings. But I think if we step back, we see a much brighter picture. More human beings across the planet have better access to health care than ever before in history. Standards of living are on the rise everywhere. We are living longer and in better quality. Our technology is mind-boggling. This very forum I'm writing on was unimagined when I was a kid. The internet continues to connect us and let us interact and create like never before. And I think that free-sharing of ideas, experiences, and knowledge is truly our best hope for the future. The more we understand each other and communicate on the same page, the better off we will all be.
But I also think that in order to improve our world, we must first each improve ourselves. I believe I'm a better person than I was 12 months ago. Not by magic nor simply surviving another year on this planet, but because I have consistently and relentlessly worked at improving myself. Little aspects, little tweaks here and there, like drops off the still, eventually add up to something big. And I'm nowhere near perfect – ask my wife – but you can be damn sure that 2015 David Weglarz is a better version than the 2014 model.
Last year I shared my own personal goals for the year, and I got a lot of positive feedback,so I've decided to do it again. Here are my personal goals for 2015:
My #1 Goal:
-Be the best Father & Husband I can be

I have high hopes for 2015. And I think that we must let the past be past and look to the present and on to the future. We have to actively break free from the negative cycles that have steered our lives so far. Don't make excuses. Make plans to achieve your goals. And then go out there and make it happen.
Dreams don't come true. They are MADE true.
So we raise a glass, to our best year yet!
Merry Christmas to one and all!
I just wanted to take a moment and wish a very heartfelt Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope that this holiday season is filled with loved ones, joy, and delicious holiday spirits!
So whether you're curled up by the fire, opening presents under the tree, or watching your seventeenth straight hour of A Christmas Story, I hope that you are taking a moment to be thankful for all the blessings you have. I know I am.
Cheers, and Merry Christmas!!
PS. Maybe some of you were even lucky enough to have a special someone who got you a great gift from the distillery! (or maybe you bought yourself a little something!) If so, we'd love for you to take a picture of yourself & your gift and share it online!
We're on twitter @still630 Facebook HERE and instagram @still630, please tag us and maybe we'll share it with the world!
Maple Sunset Special Release Update!!
I'm super excited to share the great news: our extremely limited edition RallyPoint Maple Sunset Rye Whiskey is now available at special locations around St. Louis for an extremely limited time!
It's typically only available at the distillery or The Wine & Cheese Place, however, since we only have 26 bottles left, we wanted to do something fun and special with the remaining bottles. Maple Sunset is the perfect whiskey for the holiday season, so for the next couple weekends, this rare whiskey will be available by the cocktail at one specific location per weekend!
Starting Friday, December 5th, Maple Sunset will be available at Three Flags Tavern! So go check out a great place and get a glass and/or a cocktail while it lasts! Each special location only has a four bottles total, so when they're gone, they're gone!
Giving Thanks
I'm a big fan of Thanksgiving because I love eating and drinking otherwise socially-unacceptable amounts. When I was younger, it was an alright holiday, but far below Halloween and Christmas on my own scale. But as I've gotten older and my own family has grown, so has my appreciation for this holiday. I've stopped being as concerned with what I get for candy or presents and now I take much more enjoyment out of celebrating all the blessings in my life.
My life isn't perfect. In fact, I hope no one's is. Perfection sounds terribly boring. There's no hope for improvement in the future, only fear of things worsening. Regardless, I feel immensely blessed by all the wonderful things in my life.
I have an incredible family that brightens my day no matter what has happened. A loving partner who has agreed to tie her star to mine and share our dreams. She's a spectacular mother to our two little awesome dudes. Neither of them can form a sentence, but together they own my heart. And of course, Big Jake is always there to sneak a slobbery kiss on your face when you least suspect it! I love you all!
I have a spectacular extended family, brothers & sisters, father, in-laws, grand parents, aunts & uncles and cousins! A huge support network that genuinely and unselfishly wants the best for us and helps with the little guys whenever they can. I love you all!
I am so fortunate to have an incredible group of friends and though they are scattered far and wide, I know I can call on any of them at any hour and they would be there for me. I wish so badly that I saw you each more often, but regardless of whether it's been a week or a year, I love you all!
I have a great helper in Adam Larkin, who selflessly does whatever is necessary to help the distillery grow. Many of you have enjoyed a drink somewhere around town because Adam did whatever was needed to deliver that bottle. Thank you, Adam.
I have the physical and mental capacity to pursue my dreams. Thanks to the support and patronage of great people in and around St. Louis, StilL 630 continues to grow. For that, I could not be more thankful.
I don't mean to brag about everything I'm so fortunate to have; I want to burst with excitement. I don't deserve it all, but I try to do my best to. And I'm sure going to make the most of all these blessings and, every day, be thankful for the wonderful things in my life. But the flip side of that, I feel, is to yourself be a wonderful thing in someone else's life. And to know that there is someone out there who is thankful today to have me in there life… that is an incredibly humbling and exhilarating feeling.
And I want to say a special THANK YOU to each and every person who has ever had our spirits or helped our business. Without you, it would not be possible.
To everyone, I hope that you and your loved ones are together today, and that you have realize how much you have to be thankful for. God Bless. Happy Thanksgiving!
Maximum Exposure
I finagled my way onto tv again! Yesterday, Beth Heidrich (the driving force behind STL Culinary Tours!) and I went on FOX2 News to promote our upcoming Market St. Culinary Tour on Nov 22nd!
As expected, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, but Beth was a good sport and let me talk. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the shots we took before we went on air… I don't always drink in the morning, but when I do, I like to go on tv.
And I even got to make a cocktail I created on air! Check it out here: http://fox2now.com/2014/11/12/take-a-tasty-tour-with-market-street-gastro/
Motion At The Still
We hosted our first film fest (Motion At The Still) last night at the distillery and it was a huge success!! My MR 340 buddy, Tony Rocca (of Mountain Hard Pair, etc) put it together, his dad manned the grill cooking brats, dogs, and chili, his brother Nick brought in an enormous big screen for the films (it was 16'x9'!), and Tony brought some huge fire pits, tables, and the movies.
Beamer Eisele of the new St. Louis establishment Modern Brewery brought delicious beers, including a stout that had been aged in one of our used sorghum whiskey barrels that was incredible! And I made a huge batch of my Hearth & Home cocktail which was a big hit.
The videos that Mountain Hard Pair put on were fantastic. Huge whitewater from all over the country, incredible paddling skill, and the debut of "Colorado River: Sorry, We Party", which is Tony's documentary about the epic 21 day rafting trip he and his friends, organized, executed, and dominated down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. There are few things I love in life more than paddling through white water rapids (maybe whiskey) and these videos were awesome. They perfectly captured that deep adventurous spirit that burns inside us all.
We had bonfires, beers, bbq, white water videos, and whiskey. Add to that good friends old and new and you have yourself a recipe for a great time! The fun went on into the wee hours of the night… it was badass. Even though I was working the whole time, I still had a great time and it seemed like everyone else did too! Who knows, maybe there'll be another film fest in the future… I, for one, would love to be part of making the videos for it!
Raise a glass to the indomitable spirit in all of us.
