Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Nobel Son concerns Barkley Michaelson who is trying to finish Ph.D. thesis and finds out that his dad, Eli MIchaelson, won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
Barkley and his mother, forensic psychiatrist Sarah, discover they are living with Eli, a philandering man-eating monster. Then, Barkley is kidnapped and his father refuses to pay the $2,000,000 ransom.
The movie stars Alan Rickman, Bryan Greenberg, Mary Steenburgen, Bill Pullman, Eliza Dushku, Danny DeVito, Ted Danson and Ernie Hudson. It's directed by Randall Miller.
DJ/re-mixer Grammy-nominee Paul Oakenfeld composed and performed most of the 14 tracks for the film. The other performers included Spitfire, Blossom Dearie, The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada and Emjay and the Atari Babies.
Oakenfeld's music is very techno-oriented and repetitive. If you're into that dance-type music, this CD is for you. The tracks are well-produced and multi-layered with various sounds which make them interesting.
The songs that I liked were ones with vocals. They include "So Clear" performed by Emjay and The Atari Babies, a good dance tune. The Chemical Brothers' "Come Inside," "Just One of Those Things (Brazilian Girls Remix") by Blossom Dearie, which was written by Cole Porter! And "Let Me Be Real" by the Bad Apples.Note the date on this article may be incorrect due to importing it from our old system.

Some nice news on SD
SD36 gave DS7 a $50 Toys R Us gift card for his birthday around a month ago. This is a standard gift that she gives to the younger relatives although I think $50 was extra generous. My little boy is only 7 so $50 is a lot of money. She also takes them to shop at Toys R Us so they can pick out their own gift. She had not taken DS7 before.
I asked SD if she would take him to Toys R Us with the gift card to shop so he would understand that the gift was really from her.
She picked him up this morning, took him to TRU where he purchased one item, another Wii game. She called me to ask if it was OK and I said yes as the gift is really from her. DS7 was happy to be with her, well behaved at the story (whew!) and she said she enjoyed taking him. She was impressed that he was happy with one thing that only cost $20 and wanted to save his remaining $30 balance for later. I was proud! Later we had a nice chat on the phone.
I am very happy that she took a couple of hours to bond with him. Especially since I am home with the flu today. She even offered to bring ME some medicine but I told her that DH would. I should have said yes as he hasn't shown with cold medicine yet! Luckily DS7 was on his best behavior and some of the other family kids have gone wild on these shopping trips so she was impressed.
See, it's not all negative! You guys are right, SD36 in making a decided effort and I appreciate it.
great news, and it is impressive he only wanted to spend $20. very mature young man! and how nice of SD!
Thanks all, I feel encouraged. I'm thinking about inviting SD along to a play I have tickets for with DS and DH but I don't want to push it. It's a family oriented play but a pretty hot ticket. We'll see.
What SD did yesterday taking DS shopping was very nice. It's exactly what I've wanted for a long time. Hopefully, things can continue to grow from here. Just hoping that none if this boomerangs when SS gets wind but ce la vie! (sp)
So, I called SD36 and asked if she wanted to attend this play with DH, DS7 and me. She hesistated, questioned the date but finally said "Yeah, I'll go." OK, maybe my expectations were out of line again on her reaction, these are not cheap theater tickets! But she will come and I'm hopeful it will be a good outing. Could be it's the play itself dampening her enthusiasm since it is a family oriented play.
Cross your fingers! I hope this is not too much togetherness for her.

Iran's first female serial killer
Iran's arrests its first reported female serial killer. But the country is no stranger to headline grabbing serial killings.
May 18, 2009 3:58 by Parinaaz Navdar
An Iranian woman, Mahin, has been arrested for the murders of five elderly women, aged between 50 and 70 years old, in the northern city of Qazvin, reports Maktoob Business.
Mahin confessed to killing the elderly ladies during the months of February through May. She approached her victims and offered them a ride, but later strangled them after offering them anesthetic laden fruit juice.
Akbar Hedayati , a local police chief in the city said Mahin was arrested after her latest victim, a 60 year old woman, managed to escape from the car and give the police major leads.
The police chief also said that psychologists believe Mahin's actions point to a troubled relation with her parents during her childhood. "It is likely that the murderer took revenge on women who resembled her mother and were of the same age because of her intense hatred of her own mother," he said.
Murder is punishable by death in Iran, which hangs hundreds of people every year. Convicts are hanged only if a court deems that their offenses deeply affected public sentiment.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time Iran has had problems with serial killers.
In 2002, Saeed Hanaei Hanaei was executed for killing female prostitutes, in the eastern city of Mashhad. He often targeted drug addicts, and was praised by some fundamentalists, because he felt that he was helping rid the city of moral corruption.
The Iranian press referred to the killings as the "spider killings"; Hanaei lured his victims to his home where he had sexual relations with them, before strangling them and dumping their bodies. Hanaei killed 16 women before he was apprehended by the police.
In 2005, Mohammed Bijeh confessed in court to raping and killing 16 young boys between March and September 2004. Dubbed the Tehran desert vampire by the Iranian press, he was sentenced to 100 lashes followed by public execution.
All his victims – save two – were between eight and 15 years of age.

Because He Finished!
http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/hebrew/kjv/shabath.html :
rested is translated from the Hebrew word Shabath which means to cease, desist, rest
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
REST, v.i.
1. To cease from action or motion of any kind; to stop; a word applicable to any body or being, and to any kind of motion.
2. To cease from labor, work or performance.
God rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. Gen. 2.

The whole of France decides to go on holiday today

The hotel in Palencia is unpretentiously comfortable with a very scary underground garage. The Raven whimpers a bit as Guy abandons him for the night in the dungeon. A simple supper in a tapas bar and an early night... very early by Spanish ...
Panafiel to San Sebastian
The drive to San Sebastián was very pleasant with much of the countryside giving the impression of being in Australia.

The first of our EXAMENES
The past week up until this weekend was filled with studying for our first two "tests." The professors call them "controls" instead of quizzes. Because we have been here for over three weeks and just took our first quizzes, there was a lot of information to cover. Being a closet nerd, I over-studied and did just fine on both. Our grammar "quiz" was fine; I was happy with how I did, and all the mistakes I made were things I can easily correct. In Europe, ...

Good riddance to 2014
In our corner of the Berkshires it has been a year of painful transition — coming within a generation of painful transition. There were so many shocks that it is hard to believe they all came in the same year. It began with the sudden closing of the North Adams Transcript, the local newspaper that had […] [Read More]
The Third Clark
The Clark couldn't have scripted the past few weeks any better. Their reopening earlier this month, after a 10-year long, $145+ million renovation that includes the addition of several world-class buildings and launching of a brand new mission, has been getting rave reviews from visitors and the press. I've followed the news with a mix […] [Read More]
Williamstown votes
After what's felt like a long period of relative stasis, Williamstown goes to the polls in town elections tomorrow with a choice of four new candidates for two open seats on the board of selectmen. There are lengthy interviews with each of the candidates (Jack Nogueira, Andrew Hogeland, Gary Fuls, and Hugh Daley) at iBerkshires.com. […] [Read More]
The sounds of Sardinia in the Berkshires
One of the things I love about life in Williamstown is how often you come across surprising things about your neighbors. For example, a few weeks ago I learned that my neighbor is a member of a quartet that sings traditional Sardinian folk songs, an astonishing and otherworldly style unique to that Mediterranean island. Not […] [Read More]
State money for long-stalled Cable Mills project
Gov. Deval Patrick today announced the release of $73 million in housing infrastructure funds to help jump start affordable housing projects around the state, including the long-delayed one at Cable Mills: Cable Mills is a historic re-use project located in Williamstown and sponsored by Mitchell Properties. DHCD will support the project with state bond subsidies, […] [Read More]
MGRHS closed because of slippery floors
We're only a few days into the new school year, and already Mount Greylock Regional High School is facing weather-related closures. Not snow days, of course, but humidity days: After a summer of heavy rains, extremely high levels of humidity have compounded the moisture problems in our aging building. Slippery floors made movement through the […] [Read More]
Thinning out on Spring Street
Barely a week after the William Newsroom on Spring Street closed its doors after decades, word comes that Ephporium, a small grocery next door, is also done. That's two sudden closings in a short amount of time to a street that seems to be changing a lot. Each of these businesses filled a valuable niche […] [Read More]
Decisions postponed
A huge number of residents turned out last night to Williamstown's Special Town Meeting ready to hunker down for a long night. But after about an hour of discussion, a large majority of voters chose to follow the recommendations of town officials and postpone making a decision on the list of warrant articles before. This […] [Read More]
How Williamstown decides
Town politics is a matter of life and death for some, and distant background noise for many more. But it is always interesting when those two two groups start to converge over some matter of public debate, and over the last few weeks, more and more friends and acquaintances around town have asked about what's […] [Read More]
Federal funds to relocate the Spruces
The town of Williamstown has received a $6.13 million federal grant to help relocate residents of the oft-flooded Spruces Mobile Home Park. This is just the beginning of the question of what will become of the park's residents. Affordable housing is a very touchy subject around here, and a plan to build on town-controlled land […] [Read More]

In addition to our work to promote fair and effective police practices, the ACLU has defended the rights of police officers, firefighters and corrections officers throughout the nation. For examples of the ACLU's legal advocacy on behalf of law enforcement officials, go here.
Racial profiling is a practice that offends fundamental principles of our Constitution. Racial profiling disproportionately targets people of color for investigation and enforcement, which alienates communities from law enforcement, hinders community policing efforts, and causes law enforcement to lose credibility and trust among the people they are sworn to protect and serve. We rely on the police to protect us from harm and expect them to promote fairness and justice in our communities. Racial profiling, however, has placed communities of color in fear and created a racially biased system of law enforcement that casts entire communities as suspect.
The ACLU fights law enforcement and private security practices that disproportionately target people of color for investigation and enforcement.
This series seeks to shine a light upon the damage that racial profiling has done to many Americans. At its core, racial profiling is about discrimination, not about the health and safety of keeping our communities or our country.
This report presents strong and compelling evidence of both an anecdotal and statistical nature that racial profiling on our nation's roads and highways is indeed a nationwide problem. As such, it demands a nationwide solution.
A report commissioned by the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California shows that black and Hispanic residents are stopped, frisked, searched and arrested by Los Angeles Police Department officers at dramatically disproportionate rates compared to white residents –demonstrating the need for the LAPD to eliminate biased policing.
Every year, federal and state law enforcement agents seize millions of dollars from civilians during traffic stops, simply by asserting that they believe the money is connected to some illegal activity and without ever pursuing criminal charges. Under federal law and the laws of most states, they are entitled to keep most (and sometimes all) of the money and property they seize.
The war on drugs has been a war on communities of color. Despite the fact that whites engage in drug offenses at a higher rate than African-Americans, African-Americans are incarcerated for drug offenses at a rate 10 times greater than whites. The selective policing and prosecution of low-level offenses in communities of color has led to huge racial disparities in our criminal justice system – from who is stopped, to who is charged with a crime, to who ends up under correctional control.
An Infographic on Mass Incarceration: America's criminal justice system should keep communities safe, treat people fairly, and use fiscal resources wisely. But more Americans are deprived of their liberty than ever before - unfairly and unnecessarily, with no benefit to public safety. Especially in the face of economic crisis, our government should invest in humane and fiscally sound alternatives to incarceration that promote the long-term community health and safety and make prisons options of last – not first – resort.
June 2011 marked the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's declaration of a "war on drugs" — a war that has cost roughly a trillion dollars, resulted in 40 million arrests, produced little to no effect on the supply of or demand for drugs in the United States, and contributed to making America the world's largest incarcerator.
Comedian Elon James White takes on America's failed 40-year war on drugs.
Across the nation, the police practice of stopping, frisking, and searching law abiding people - predominantly people of color - raises serious concerns over racial profiling, illegal stops and invasion of privacy rights.
The NYPD's own reports on its stop-and-frisk activity confirm what many people in communities of color across the city have long known: The police are stopping hundreds of thousands of law abiding New Yorkers every year, the vast majority of whom are black and Latino.
In this report the NYCLU provides a detailed picture of the NYPD's stop-and-frisk program in 2011. This report examines stops, frisks, force, race, the recovery of weapons, and the treatment of the hundreds of thousands of innocent people stopped last year.
The ACLU of PA's case on behalf of eight African-American and Latino men who were stopped by Philadelphia police officers solely on the basis of their race or ethnicity.
Billed by their manufacturer as a non-lethal alternative to deadly force, Tasers are being deployed by a growing number of law enforcement agencies around the country. However, a lack of training and controls has led to several Taser-related deaths. ACLU affiliates around the country have taken on the issue of Taser use and abuse by law enforcement, including issuing the following reports.
A Force to be Reckoned With: Taser use and policies in 20 Arizona law enforcement agencies
Shocking: The Lack of Responsible Taser Policy in Minnesota
Policy on Conducted Energy Devices and Best Practices Guidelines (PDF)
Taser Use by Nebraska Law Enforcement Agencies: The case for policy reform
Stun Gun Fallacy: How the Lack of Taser Regulation Endangers Lives
The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division has the authority to investigate police departments to determine whether police officers and departments are abusing their authority, through excessive force, corruption or discrimination against minority populations. Under the Obama administration, DOJ is conducting the largest number of civil rights investigations of police departments in its history. The result of an investigation is the issuance of extensive recommendations by the DOJ about how to best reform the problems plaguing the department under investigation.
In several cities ACLU affiliates have led the push for DOJ investigations, taking the initiative to document the problem within the community and directly petitioning the DOJ to investigate their police departments. In multiple jurisdictions, DOJ launched investigations and issued findings as a direct result of the work of the ACLU.
We rely on the police to keep us all safe and treat us all fairly, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin or religion. This card provides tips for interacting with police and understanding your rights.

"Not my taste and the narrator's voice is horrid!"
I admit I didn't finish this one. The narrator's voice drove me crazy! (Be careful--I've noticed she narrates a ton of books). The story was not my taste either. I wasn't a fan of the detached tone of Moll (the narrator). Skip this one.
"So different from the movie!"
The plot points were so entirely reworked for the movie. I admit I was a bit distracted by it, but I still enjoyed the book. I thought I'd get more insight into bipolar disorder but instead just enjoyed this for the story.
"You will listen over and over!"
What can I say about Tina Fey? She is such a gifted performer! Even if you've read her book already you must listen to the audiobook. Tina brings it to life and she is total comedy magic. What a hoot! I've already listened to this book twice through and I know I'll be enjoying it periodically in years to come. Such a gem!
"Oh my heart!"
What can I say about Jane Eyre? It lives in my heart. The story is sweeping and emotional. The narration was insanely good. Oh how I wish the narrator would record more classics--she is a gem! Don't miss this!
I was on the edge of my (car) seat basically the whole time. Cheryl Strayed is a great storyteller and she weaves the sections about her past seamlessly with the main story. I loved the narrator and she varied the different voices beautifully. Highly recommended!
"Stays with you."
I bought this mainly for Colin Firth's narration and it did not disappoint. The story is somewhat depressing and slow at times, but I did enjoy traveling back into the past. I've found that the story has somewhat stayed with me.
"Love love love!"
I adored this! I'd always wanted to read Pride and Prejudice. I bought this book as Whispersync and it worked out perfectly to listen to large sections on my commute and still be able to read a bit on the weekends. Even though I already knew the basic storyline, I still felt quite a bit of suspense as to how Lizzie and Darcy would ever get together. The narration was superb. Highly recommended!
"Read more than listened!"
I enjoyed the story, especially the sections set in the past. I did not love the narration at all! The narrator's voice was annoying. I'd bought the Kindle book as well (for Whispersync) and I ended up reading much more than listening.

Wikipedia:Beware hidehack edits
|This essay contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.
This essay, wp:Beware hidehack edits (or Bigfooting) describes hack edits which hide information inside tags or template parameters. Hidehack edits are not direct vandalism because they do not affect the displayed page, but merely conceal text which can be read by other users during an edit. Hidehacking is often used to spam opinion text, again, inside of pages, where it can be read during edits. The term "Bigfooting" refers to a hack edit made in March 2012 to mention "Bigfoot" inside a noinclude tag of an unprotected template.
Types of hidehack edits[edit]
A common form of hidehack edit will set a nonvalid parameter name inside a template, such as inside the top infobox. For example, someone might insert, "|nickname=The government of Xxx is a fascist regime" where the parameter "nickname=" is ignored (not displayed in the formatted page) and often allowed to remain inside the page. Another tactic is to put text into a closing "noinclude" tag (such as "</noinclude This is spam>") where the text will be ignored, and other editors will get no warning of the spam text concealed after a hidehack edit.
The term "Bigfooting" refers to a hack edit made by an IP address user, on 12 March 2012, to log an extended comment about "Bigfoot" inside an unprotected subtemplate of Template:Convert. That subtemplate, Template:Convert/-/AonSoff was reverted two hours later (see: dif946) and then full-protected to prevent any further hidehack edits. Apparently, some editors think that concealing text about controversial topics will help "spread the message" which would not be allowed to remain in pages otherwise.

RACING: Essex looks Champion.
Essex consolidated Ireland's ante-post grip on the Smurfit Champion Hurdle when landing a gamble in the totesport Trophy at Newbury on Saturday.
Cheered by a partisan crowd of supporters who had followed him from trainer Michael O'Brien's stables near the Curragh, Essex was given a welcome reminiscent of a winner at the Cheltenham Festival.
The five-year-old, already winner of the valuable Pierse Hurdle, beat Bongo Fury and Al Eile by three lengths and a head under Barry Geraghty.
The 4-1 favourite had been backed at 7-1 to complete the big handicap double after his Leopardstown victory last month, and now his attention is to be focused on the Champion, for which both Coral and William Hill cut him into 12-1 from 25s. Ladbrokes go 14-1 from 33s.
Essex has run only four times over hurdles and it was owing to his lack of experience that O'Brien decided to give him a full-scale schooling gallop earlier in the week on the Curragh.
Geraghty said: 'Wethought that extra experience would help and he actually has had more practice than it seems.'
O'Brien confirmed that Essex will now head to the Cheltenham Festival, where he will tackle the Champion Hurdle.
'I don't think there's any other option. The only problem is that he's a five-yearold, but that was a serious performance today with 11-6, so he will certainly take his chance,' he added.
As the field shaped up to the second-last flight, Bongo Fury (33-1) was in charge, but Geraghty had her every move covered and jumped Essex to the front at the last before pulling clear.
Hawadeth (40-1) stayed on well to take fourth behind Al Eile (10-1), while Ireland was responsible for the fifth home in the shape of Power Elite.
Martin Pipe and David Johnson received a token consolation for the defeats of Celestial Gold and Well Chief when Over The Creek landed the totescoop6 Handicap Hurdle in the hands of Timmy Murphy.
Murphy gave the 9-2 winner a trademark waiting ride before pushing his mount out on the run-in to score by three-and-a-half lengths from Omni Cosmo Touch.
Distant Thunder was an impressive winner of the totejackpot Novices' Chase for Robert Alner after being backed in from 7-2 to 5-2.
Andrew Thornton had Distant Thunder in total charge between the last two fences and the combination sailed to a ten-length triumph from Sixo. Alner, however, has not entered Distant Thunder for Cheltenham and said: 'I don't feel it's the right time to take a nice young horse like this to the Festival.'
Venetia Williams introduced a live contender for the Royal & SunAlliance Hurdle when Clear Thinking, making his debut for the Ross-on-Wye trainer, took the totesport.com Novices' Hurdle. A classy stayer in France for Andre Fabre, Clear Thinking relished the conditions, putting his stamp on the contest from the start under Sam Thomas and staying on resolutely to hold Prins Willem by a neck in a driving finish.
Coral were the most impressed of the main bookmakers, cutting Clear Thinking to 16-1 from 33-1 for Cheltenham, while William Hill, Victor Chandler, Paddy Power and the Tote all go 20s.
Karanja received an 8-1 quote for the Champion Bumper after landing the totesportcasino.com Standard Open NH Flat Race by twoand-a-half lengths from 15-8 favourite Be Be King.
Farmer Jack and jockey Richard Johnson (left) jump the last ahead of Celestial Gold and Strong Flow on their way to a surprise victory as a 12-1 chance in the Aon Chase at Newbury

Indians take step closer for a return to state playoffs
The Class 1A top-ranked team in the state faced something in the Section 8-1A semifinals they haven't had yet this season -- a competitive game.
The No. 1 ranked Mahnomen Indians didn't have a four-possession lead by halftime, but it didn't matter, as the Indians (10-0) stifled No. 4 seeded Warren-Alvarado-Oslo's offense in a 27-7 win Saturday.

Kevin Connor is vice president of Decision Lens' Solutions Group.
The Obama administration is challenging agencies to achieve mission goals with less money. In December 2010, the Office of Management and Budget announced a 25-point plan to restructure federal IT, with a focus on aligning the acquisition process with the technology cycle. Then in January's State of the Union address, President Barack Obama proposed freezing annual domestic spending for the next five years, starting this year. Clearly, budgeting for technology is being scrutinized.
Prioritizing projects and gaining buy-in are complex budgetary challenges that often result in an equally complex cycle of dysfunctional decision-making and poor outcomes.
Agencies must improve collaboration and transparency for more efficient and effective decisions. With the proper process and structure in place, organizations faced with decisions that involve multiple stakeholders and criteria can find a course of action and create value.
Here are five ways to improve budget decisions.
1. Define goals and objectives, and establish a framework for a decision before evaluating options.
Establish a decision goal, and have a collaborative discussion about the factors that should influence the decision. Then evaluate alternatives within that framework. Forcing decision-makers to establish their priorities against a goal and then holding projects to that test overcomes power-driven arguments and limits fights over pet projects.
2. Engage an appropriately broad number of stakeholders.
To counter the limitations of asymmetric information — complementary information known by different people — define and prioritize key decision criteria. Then engage subject-matter experts on how the proposed options perform against those criteria. That approach broadens participation in critical decisions and gathers the best possible information for making an informed decision.
3. Define the roles of participants, and divide and conquer.
Often, people do not understand how decisions are made at their organization. For instance, what group or individual has the final say? Consider the nature of the decisions, and break down the process of determining and weighting criteria, proposing options, and evaluating those options against the criteria. Then assign those activities to the people or groups best suited to them.
4. Identify critical relationships among projects.
Ask yourself whether some projects need to overlap in terms of timing and effort to realize the value of each — or whether they are competing solutions to the same problem. Likewise, an activity might be well funded in one area while the project's beneficiaries are ranked lower in another. Or teams might be pursuing solutions to similar problems without considering how to combine their efforts to improve efficiency, project integration and knowledge sharing. Therefore, mapping interrelationships is essential to avoid delays or wasted efforts in achieving larger goals.
5. Explore scenarios to compare and contrast possible future courses of action.
There is not a single right answer to a budget portfolio decision. All decisions are largely predictions based on forecasts and projections, and there is no way to know the single best choice. Consider scenarios that could change assumptions about the constraints, costs and value of the portfolio. A proven technique for dealing with complex decision, such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process, can help you structure and aggregate information and map the relative importance of cost, interrelationships and other important criteria.
In short, structure decisions and crowdsource insights. Then review priorities and the relevant data and opinions of stakeholders and experts. Those steps will allow agencies to focus their discussions on a limited number of trade-offs and information requirements, and create the level of comfort needed to move forward.

I use a coleman extreme 52 qt for my mash tun, and I don't know if shutting the lid on my thermometer probe is a good idea...... How do must people leave their thermometer in the mash tun, do you cut a hole in the wall of your mash to stick your thermometer through?
How much temp do you lose over the course of your rest?
My cooler loses 1 degree over 60 minutes, so I stopped bothering with monitoring the temp during the mash, and its just the cheapy no name cooler from menards, not the extreme.
There are some ways to go through the wall. I have been looking at thermowells, or even the rubber stopper method.http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/02...lt-mlt-cooler/
But for now I use a floating thermometer and just close the lid. And check it at the end. I barely loose any heat (maybe 1 degree).
EDIT: Floating thermometer:
i wouldnt worry about it, i have the 72 ct extreme and lose 1 degree at most
i usually lose 1 to 2 degrees depending on how often i stir the mash. I guess it would be best to check it once at the end. Just kinda anal about my brewing.
I use a digital meat thermometer probe. It has a long cord and I just shut the lid on the cord (it still seals fine). I don't loss any temp after it equilibrates (after about 5 mins of stirring).
I leave it in there most of the time. If the temp. changes then I know that I didn't mix the mash well enough. I take it out to check the temp on my sparge water towards the end of the mash.
^^^^ Me too. I monitor the output from a RIMS tube via thermocouple, but use a digital with probe for the grain bed.
