I am getting ready to brew my second batch of 5 gallon home brew from an extract kit. I am planning to make a stainless steel hop spider that I read about in another thread on this board. I am wondering if the product in the link below would be sufficient for my hop spider? I am not doing any all grain brewing, I will be using the hop spider to contain my hop additions that are in the extract kit.https://brewcamp.com/shop/boiling-ba...ilter_name=bag
It really depends on the dimensions of your hop spider but that is the type of bag that would work.
I have used the 1 gallon paint strainers from homedepot without any problems.

Chiefland Watermelon Festival

Held on the first Saturday in June, the Annual Watermelon Festival is perhaps the biggest event in Chiefland during the year, drawing thousands of visitors from all parts of the state. The one-day event began in 1954, as the City of Chiefland wrapped up the completion of new sidewalks and streets. The Chiefland Civic Club decided there was a definite cause to celebrate! It was summer and the watermelon season was drawing to an end, so farmers donated their last watermelons for the celebration. Today, farmers continue to donate watermelons, which are served ice cold and delicious for all visitors to enjoy. With time, the festival has grown, and now showcases arts and crafts exhibits from around Florida and neighboring states. There are plenty of children's activities, including a watermelon seed-spitting contest! The watermelon parade, auction, weighing-contest, and the Watermelon Queen contest are just some of the festival highlights that draw spectators from all around the area. The tradition has carried on through 50 years, maintained by the Chiefland Women's Club. Hopefully, it will continue on for at least another 50!

Prison officials deny plotting with Rob Ford in jail attack
Mayor Rob Ford's former brother-in-law, Scott MacIntyre, alleged in a lawsuit that prison guards conspired with Ford in a 2012 jailhouse beating.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
The ministry representing Ontario's correctional officers denies that prison staff conspired with Mayor Rob Ford to carry out a savage jailhouse beating on the mayor's former brother-in-law.
Scott MacIntyre, once the common-law spouse of Ford's sister Kathy, has filed a $1.5 million lawsuit alleging the mayor planned the attack with a former football player and correctional officers. MacIntyre claims he was savagely beaten in Metro West Detention Centre in March 2012.
In a statement of defence filed Monday, the Ministry of Correctional Services "specifically denies that any of its employees conspired to intentionally facilitate the attack as alleged." The province also denies that prison staff failed to come to MacIntyre's aid and delayed transferring him to hospital.
"To the contrary, the Crown, at all times, had regard for the safety and security of the plaintiff, other inmates, staff and other persons present," the statement says.
MacIntyre said in his statement of claim that Ford arranged the jailhouse beating to keep his "mouth shut" after he threatened to expose the mayor's alleged drug use. Former Don Bosco football player Aedan Petros carried out the attack with two other men outside the prison showers, MacIntyre alleged.
In injuries later described in his sentencing, he suffered severe leg fractures and four of his teeth were sheared off at the gum line. MacIntyre claimed no one came to his aid, despite cameras in the area, and that he was not transferred to hospital for 36 hours.
But the province says MacIntyre twice changed his story about the incident and refused to co-operate with prison staff.
On March 22, 2012, an officer saw on video surveillance inmates surrounding another inmate lying on the floor outside a washroom, according to the statement of defence. When the officer arrived at the scene, MacIntyre said "he had slipped coming out of the shower."
He was taken to a health care unit in the prison to see a physician, who diagnosed him with a strained right knee and ordered x-rays. The doctor did not make notes of injuries to MacIntyre's face or teeth, the statement reads, and when his leg continued to swell, he was taken to hospital on March 23.
Four days later, MacIntyre changed his story and instead claimed that he and another inmate had fought over a newspaper, the province alleges.
"The plaintiff stated that he pushed the other inmate to the floor and fell with him, injuring his knee in the fall," the ministry's statement of defence reads. "The plaintiff refused to identify the other inmate and refused to press charges, stating he wasn't 'a rat' and refused protective custody."
The ministry also alleges that MacIntyre never advised staff he was being threatened or feared for his safety, despite his claims that he had been intimidated by Petros for weeks before the beating.
MacIntyre was in prison at the time for uttering threats against Ford and was released in September 2012.
His lawsuit also names Petros and Payman Aboodowleh, a former assistant coach at Don Bosco high school, where Ford once coached. The mayor filed his statement of defence last week, calling the allegations "patently absurd."
The allegations in the statement of claim and statements of defence have not been proven in court. Both Ford and the province have asked for the case to be dismissed.

When to plant in south Alabama
When is the earliest I can safely plant hydrangeas (with blooms) in south Alabama, zone 8b. They are already out in garden centers in this area with blooms on them, but I am afraid it may be too early to plant them in the ground. Thanks for the help!
You don't mean outdoors in the garden centers do you?
Any blooming now would be green house grown plants forced into bloom. They won't be frost hardy, and will need to be hardened off, or gradually acclimated to being outside much like you would treat annuals grown indoors.
If you haven't purchased yet, you'd do better with nursery stock that hasn't been subjected to a regime of fertilizers and growth hormones, special temps and lighting. My guess is what you are seeing are plants grown with Valentines Day in mind, not overall long term plant health.
Regular garden nursery plants (not greenhouse florists types) and those in my 8b ground are just barely beginning to bud out with the promise of foliage - they are a long way from flowers :) If you find those, container grown and outside in a real nursery, you could plant now but only if your soil is not too wet from winter to be spading.
I have seen them at the local Home Depot and Lowe's in the outdoor garden center, and I believe they came from a local nursery that only sales wholesale but I'm not sure. However, I figured it was too early to plant seeing as how everything is still brown and the temp at night still gets down to 30 degrees.
Would it be safe to plant (with blooms) in another month? Thanks for the help!
Generally the suggestion for transitioning a greenhouse hydrangea to the landscape is to provide a gradual period of acclimitization to the outdoors. Here, that would be to wait until May or June or when outdoor temperature come close to what the plant was receiving in the greenhouse. And before planting it in the ground, getting it used to the outdoors by placing it outside for a short period of time initially and gradually increasing that duration until it remains outside around the clock.
So the short answer to your question is no, I believe next month is still too early :-) Greenhouse hydrangeas are very tender, pampered plants that will react poorly to cold of any kind. Enjoy it indoors and wait to plant it until spring is firmly ensconced in your area, there is no chance of frost and nighttime temperatures are around 50F.
Cheryl, must not have made myself clear. Don't buy the types forced into early bloom unless you want to use them for a dinner centerpiece and are going to treat them as a somewhat long lived bouquet....The forcing process produces weakened plants that may not survive outdoors. Because they are weak and not as hardy as the nursery cultivars, planting outdoors is not recommended .
They are considered florists types and while they may (or may not) do well in a Z8 garden, they haven't been grown with planting into the garden in mind. If you have received one as a gift, it doesn't hurt to try planting it outdoors rather than throw it away after blooming, but don't buy one thinking it will make a reliable addition to your landscape.
If you are investing in plants for your garden, buy nursery stock. Look for plants with well shaped form and if not buying during the bloom season, go by the information on the tag which should be accurate from a reputable nursery. I'm sure bloom time there is earlier than my cooler Z8, but plants flowering before approximately early summer would be blooming out of season....they will have been 'forced', and it's stressful on the plant. No need to buy stressed plants.

Officers from Ala, Ga Train on Domestic Extremism
About 400 law enforcement officers from northeast Alabama and northwest Georgia are learning how to deal with domestic extremists.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Birmingham and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force are providing the training on Thursday in conjunction with police in the east Alabama city of Oxford.
Federal authorities say the session will teach law officers what to do during encounters with domestic extremists. They say that could include members of militia groups or so-called sovereign citizens.
The session will include a study of a 2012 mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, where a white supremacist and U.S. Army veteran killed six worshippers.
U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance says law officers have to understand the threats of domestic extremism and be able to protect themselves.

Experienced search marketers even forget to test ads properly. Consider these factors.
Maybe it's the unassuming nature of short text ads or the endless potential for distraction in an industry long on chatter. But even seasoned marketers sometimes forget to test ads properly. Think about it: when was the last time you heard someone tweet: "Just discovered in ad copy test - '30 Day Free Trial' has 8% higher conversion rate than 'Download Now!'"? Exotic long-tail dreams and Quality Score myths are always sexier than genuine response testing, to say nothing of swapping stories about the latest TED conference or scaling Machu Picchu.
I sometimes use a scorecard to assess 10 key drivers in paid search accounts. Your own mental checklist might include five or 20. Nearly everyone agrees that ad testing is in the top three.
What's interesting: why testing ad copy is important. Most people think they know, but it's even more exciting than it seems.
Multiple Ads Can be Rotated Against a Group of Keywords
Google AdWords and its main rivals allow you to rotate multiple ads against a group of keywords. This rotation, which is done evenly, generates a statistically valid, rapid feedback loop that helps you gauge response on key metrics such as CTR (define) and conversion rate. Yes, you already know that. Much to my surprise, though, I've gotten into my ad testing routine in seminars and panels, only to realize that 20 percent of the attendees - typically those sporting a "know it already, you can't teach me anything" attitude, had no idea this rotation is a feature at all!
CTR Isn't the Only Response Metric Worth Measuring
It's an approximate tie between CTR and CPA (define). And as I mentioned in this column, letting the "Optimize" setting select the ad with the highest Quality Score (which maps closely to CTR) takes testing out of your hands. Why go through the trouble to create multiple ads unless you give them time to breathe and speak to you? That being said, CTR is vital to the overall health of your account from a Quality Score standpoint, so don't sell it short.
Tests Must Run Longer Than You Think
Another hallmark of a good paid search campaign - granularity - means that the numbers aren't rolled up in nice aggregate piles. An ad group that generates only 50 sales conversions in a month across four ads might show conversions of 15 for one ad, 13 each for two other ads, and nine for the fourth one. At this point, it might be safe to drop the worst performing ad. But have we gained much understanding of which of the remaining three ads is the best, let alone which elements of the ads are influential response drivers, or whether there might be undiscovered response triggers lurking in the great unknown? No. To get a sense of the math of statistical significance, try this handy tool on Vertster. It's solely geared to CTR, but it's helpful nonetheless. Statistics 101 math on statistical confidence levels won't help you break through to better ads but it can remind you to let well-designed tests run long enough.
Quality Scores Drive Accounts
Google loves relevance and loves CTR. There are certainly principles like relevance to users and Google's profitability involved, but these are machine algorithms at the end of the day. The way to make a machine happy is to feed it what it's looking for. To feed higher CTRs to the machine, up the CTR on your high-impression keywords.
To be clear: Quality Scores are expressed by keyword and govern your account's ad position, ad delivery, and CPCs (define) at the keyword level. But the overall system may be holistic in that weak CTR on your biggest volume keywords can spill over and lead to lower Quality Scores for the campaign or entire account wide. Minor episodes of poor CTR on small volume keywords don't matter as much, because the calculations should be proportional to total impression volume. Google's most recent explanation of Quality Score buries some details in the opaque "other relevancy factors," but does specifically refer to "the historical CTR of the keyword and the matched ad on Google." From all of this, let's wildly assume that your highest-impression keywords are therefore very important, but in conjunction with high-CTR ads tied to those keywords. At the end of the day, the CTR burden falls on the ads (unless you're just planning to delete all of your higher-volume keywords to focus only on the pristine super-targeted ones like [buy green flannel pajamas]). So we must focus some of our ad response testing CTR, keeping the return on investment constant wherever possible. Your competitors are working at it too, so what looks like a solid CTR to you isn't necessarily high in relative terms. Keep at it.
If You Succeed, Your Profitable Volume Increases - Twice
More clicks don't just line Google's pockets; they can do great things for your profits as well. A rewarding dynamic kicks in if you discover a higher-CTR ad variation; it's particularly exciting if it happens in a mature account. First, let's say you find a winning ad with a 30 percent higher CTR. That gives you 30 percent more clicks per month in that ad group. Holding conversion rates constant (no easy feat), that's 30 percent more conversions. On top of that, your keyword Quality Scores now drift up over time due to Google's love of CTR. Your ads might rise from an average ad position of, say, 2.0, to around 1.5. That could lead to an additional 30 percent bump in click volume. All told, that constitutes a 69 percent increase in clicks and conversions on a core keyword.
Those unassuming ads do more heavy lifting in your paid search account than you may have realized. Keep working at unlocking their secrets.

Arizona Cardinals
LSU coach Les Miles: Kevin Minter 'will be an every-down player'
Heading into the NFL Draft, inside linebacker was certainly a position of need for the Arizona Cardinals. With Daryl Washington suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season, finding a viable option to fill the void made a whole lot of sense.
The Cardinals didn't wait long to address the need, but their selection was a bit of a surprise. Despite Manti Te'o and Kiko Alonso still on the board, Steve Keim and Co. ultimately traded down from No. 38 to No. 45 and opted for LSU's Kevin Minter.
Minter, who was a Butkus Award finalist in 2012, had 130 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss and four sacks during his junior season, but his former college coach said Arizona is getting more than just a guy who can put up stats.
"(The Cardinals) got a guy with a real knack for inline play," Les Miles told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Tuesday. "It'll be real difficult for the ball to be run between the tackles, Kevin Minter just knows where to be.
"And when he tackles, he tackles it hard and he tackles it low. He gets into a zone where that guy is sideline-to-sideline, he's inline and his presence is felt."
While Miles noted that Minter will need to prove to the Cardinals' coaching staff that he can play in zone coverage and in man-to-man coverage, he sees the former LSU linebacker playing a lot of snaps right away.
"I think he'll be an every-down player," said Miles. "He's a guy who will make a lot of big-time tackles.
"He's another one that's going to be true blue, when the coach says, 'This is what I'm seeing,' he's going to say 'I agree.' If the coach says, 'This is how we're going to operate and where headed,' Kevin Minter will follow right in that. He was the leader of our team."

SwedishAmerican offers electrical vehicle charging stations
Staff Report
As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, the SwedishAmerican Foundation has installed four electric vehicle charging stations on the SwedishAmerican Hospital campus for employee and visitor use.
The stations, which are on the south side of Camelot Tower, can be used at no charge. SwedishAmerican Hospital valets will coordinate use of the stations for hospital guests.
Installation costs, which totaled $28,000, were provided by the SwedishAmerican Foundation; the health system did not utilize operational funds for the project. The foundation also will provide funding for the stations' ongoing operation. Based on demand, an additional two stations may be added in the future at a cost of approximately $3,000.
"This was the right thing to do," said SwedishAmerican Foundation CEO John Mecklenburg. "The government has done their part by offering consumers tax incentives to purchase electric vehicles. As one of northern Illinois' largest organizations, we are making the ownership and operation of electric vehicles more convenient by offering the charging stations to our guests and employees."
According to a September 2011 report from Boulder, Colo.-based Pike Research, sales of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are expected to accelerate rapidly over the next several years, posting a compound annual growth rate of 43 percent between 2011 and 2017, with annual sales reaching almost 360,000 vehicles by 2017.

Mainly two: Rodinal 1:50 and Studional 1:30, although an odd time I'll use Tanol.
Printable View
Mainly two: Rodinal 1:50 and Studional 1:30, although an odd time I'll use Tanol.
Update: I've now used Rodinal and I LOVE IT, such amazing tones, used with PanF+ I didn't see any noticeable increase in grain, in fact it was almost better grain than Ilfsol 3, of course this is a very fine grain film to begin with, but still, the look it had was great, so now I'm officially a Rodinal fan too.
I am a hack beginner. I have been developing for about 3 years now. I shoot 135 and 120 on Acros, Neopan, Plus-X, Tri-X, Fomapan 100 and 400, plus Efke and Rollei 80s in 127.
I use the same developer on all of them - whatever I have on hand
I started with Ilfosol-3 but hated it and when it became yellow I turned it out.
Then I went to D-76 which I really liked but mixing is a hassle and it wouldn't last past 6 months for me.
So I bought HC-110 which has lasted a long time. Always used it at dilution B (1+31) But was never all that thrilled.
Last weekend I tried HC-110-H (1+63) and got the prettiest Fuji Neopan negatives I have ever done.
So I think I will stick with HC-110-H for a while before I mix up that X-tol.
Rodinal (although I'm down to the last bottle of my stash, and will be onto the other (growing) stash of Adonal soon...) & DDX for high speed films...
I'd like to use one for everything, but you, John, know that story.
It looks like I'm using Pyrocat PC, FX2, Hypercat, 510-Pyro, DD-23, Divided D-76, HC-110, Rodinal, PC-TEA, and a super secret concoction of my own.
Xtol and Rodinal.
Depends on the the particular film. For Ilford Pan-F I use D-23 for everything else either HC-110 or a Rodinal substitute.
I have brewed many developers in the past just for fun (D-23, D-76 divided, Neofin Blue, Caffenol...) but today I'm settled with the following developers:
PC-TEA: my multipurpose developer
510-PYRO: I use it mainly to develop large format sheets film
Parodinal: for stand development when I need compensating
and Caffenol-C-H to develop 400 iso rolls pushed @ 800.
PC-TEA/510-PYRO and (pa)rodinal have an outstanding shelf life. This is also a reason why I love them so much!
Homebrewed D-76d 1+1.
Can easily mix it up on demand from thimblefuls up to enough to paint the house. And the stock keeps forever in oxygen-reduced amber glass bottles.
Nectar of the Gods.
I've pretty much settled on HC110, usually Dilution H as a one-shot. If I ever decide to drag out the Minox B that lurks in a drawer here, I might try another option (but just as likely not!) My usage runs fairly haphazard and one-shot from concentrate eliminates any record keeping and anxiety; the stuff is always there, ready and predictable.

By default Emacs will not highlight constants, struct members, function calls etc (unless inside the definition). I am talking about C major mode here.
I want some basic highlighting, just based on text matching. For example, A word containing only upper case and underscore, [A-Z_]+, for example SOME_CONST, is a constant (unless otherwise highlighted). Similarly, I can match for [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]\s( as function call; ->[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]* as a struct member etc.
How can I do this emacs ?
