How to build a hidden closet
Hello, here a picture that would really show what I am trying to build.
Can you see the cabinet on the right of the FP? Ok, nobody will be able to see R, L and back of the cabinet. However it has to be nice from the front (door and face frame for the door + top and kicktoe (or panel). How do I build it? The size is not standard: it is 62 max high, 48 wide but 21 max deep. Any idea? I was thinking to build the box and screw on a face frame + doors (may I). However I am not sure how to build the box. Once again R, L and Back I have wall. So, not sure I really need to build a box. I need help with drawing.... Tx in advance
I think your lack of response is due to the ambiguity of your question. Perhaps when you are further along you might be able to frame it in a way that is more understandable to most of us. What do you mean by "hidden closet"? Maybe get a little more fundamental with your questions.
Hidden like a hidden bed or a closet behind a book shelf?
Do you mean like the under ground rail road used to hide slave?
If so, there are many books on hidden "spaces" that you can use.
I have no names for you, but I would Google it if I was you.

Help me plant my bounty!
We've not done much with our backyard, nor had the previous owners. Add to that the fact that I am completely and totally design challenged and it's no wonder the ground is pretty bare. I admit it - I don't have an artistic bone in my body. But, I do like pretty things and really would like to have a kick-ass backyard next summer. I don't like formal, but like a casual cottage-style garden. What spurred me forward was a huge clearance sale at a local landscaper. Lots of plants dirt cheap. Specifically, what I'd like help with is putting plants together. Being so artistically challenged, I'm much more of a 'Garanimals' type of person. I need someone to tell me what goes together. I understand that that can be subjective, that's okay. I also have issues, that I think many new gardeners do, with imagining what the plants will look like when mature - i.e. spacing.
I live in southeast Michigan and our backyard has many large oaks and maples. This means that by the end of June, the backyard is heavily shaded. The bed against the back of the house will get about 5-6 hours of afternoon sun, some of it dappled. The bed along the side will get dappled morning sun. So, in other words, lots and lots of shade.
The back of the house measures about 33 feet. The side of the screen porch on the right is about 18.5 feet.
Below is the list of plants awaiting planting. I also have many other varieties of hostas around the house that could be divided and moved to supplement what's here. If some of what I have listed below won't work here, that's okay. I can find a home for it someplace else around the house.

Click below to my Photobucket album for several pics.
Beautiful, appealing, "kick-ass" even can be pretty subjective. There are those who love the Thomas Kinkade type jumble of everything always in bloom and at the same time in a riot of color that not even nature could conceive; and there are those who find every square inch planted up a tedious lot of work, while some like a little more order in their chaos.
What I would do is go out and move the plants in their pots around taking into account your yard's sun/shade conditions, the sun needs and shade tolerances, and spacing guidelines of the plants you purchased. Tall plants in the back so they don't obscure the shorter. Stare at the pot arrangement and do some shuffling. Beyond that, I can't think of a magic formula for an endeavor even experienced gardeners often get wrong - and tinker around with for years to get closer to right.
Shades of purple, blue, and lavender usually blend; can be very nice with a backdrop of white like the shastas. The soft yellow of the Happy Returns and the purplish maroon of the Pardon Me wouldn't seem to clash with the scheme. I tend to think - and maybe I'm way off base - but in a cottage style garden sometimes it doesn't matter.
Don't know which of the hundreds of varieties of wormwood (artemesia) you got, but some - A. Absinthium, I think - self seeds, puts out root runners, and spreads all over.
Would seem you're into the first frost dates for your region; perhaps even the first killing frost might not be too far off. You might get things in the ground and tweak in the spring.
There is a Cottage Garden forum here also.
What duluth said.
6 hours of sun is considered full sun.
Coral bells (heuchera) can handle an almost complete lack of direct sun. They will bloom and be happy.
I have Happy Returns on the east side of a 2-story house -- morning sun only -- now being shaded by a lilac and a fig tree (I really will move the daylilies next spring ... I promise!). My Happy Returns would be happier with more sun, but blooms anyway, off and on all summer. In a couple of years, you'll have three or four times as much. Wonderful plant! [Daylilies don't grow true from seed, so don't let it go to seed unless you like surprises. Even if you do like surprises, it's probably best to start the seeds elsewhere, because if a seed sprouts in the middle of an established clump, you may not like the look of an anemic pink in the middle of the yellow. Some daylily seedlings are not worth keeping.]
I haven't grown Pardon Me, but it's the same "everblooming" type.
Because of the late planting, mulch everything well so they'll have a better chance of surviving the winter.
duluth didn't warn you strongly enough about the artemisia.... Take some very close-up photos and post them on GW's Name That Plant forum
and see if the experts there can give you a definite ID. Ask if it's a type that needs to be kept under stringent control. If it is, put it in the garbage.
If it's the bad kind and you decide to keep it anyway, whatever you do, don't let it go to seed! Round-up will kill most of what spreads by runners. But be prepared for it to take over the yard anyway.
What Duluth said too, and also what Inkognito said. One haul of plants does not a garden make :-) You'll buy more, not always so cheap, some will make it, some won't. But these are mostly perennials and although you will enjoy them for both foliage interest (I love hostas) and flower, over the long run perennials mostly are just a green mass in the garden. Really making an impact requires that you pay attention to the non-plant elements.
You're lucky you have well defined beds relatively nicely shaped, and likely won't want to change those. That frame will go a long way to making your composition look good no matter how you arrange the plants. But pay attention to your woody structure - that is, your treescape; maybe cull some and/or plant some new trees or shrubs for structure. Also consider whether you want some hardscape - that can make a huge difference - patios, walkways, fences, or other decorative focal points in the beds. One issue is that your fence is so transparent that the borrowed landscape behind it will visually overwhelm what you do inside the yard if it is a bit on the subtle side. All of that has a far bigger impact than plants do.
Your mystery plant is likely a Euphorbia. Check whether there is a milky sap when you cut a leaf or stem. If so, be sure not to get the sap into your eyes. It is not poisonous, per se, but very abrasive and can cause permanent eye damage. I taught my kids early not to touch those.

Brewed up a decent gravity baltic porter...1.085
i used bohemian lager yeast wyeast...created a 2L starter....crashed, pitched into a 1500ml starter...crashed, pitched into ANOTHER 1500ml starter
I pitched a really healthy, active starter into 10.5 gallons of wort....it went along great for the first month then seemed to konk out...stalled at 1.040
I tried moving into secondary, pulling some yeast, creating a small starter to re-activate the yeast and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any suggestions? At this point i'm half tempted to go get some Brett and let them finish it out
This is my beer, go brew your own
Would like to know more on this also, I had an Imp. stout do this and it finished around 1.034 which was much higher than it needed too. I pitched more yeast and it did nothing.
*** Possum Trot Brewery ***Beer Primary - Butthead BelgianBeer Secondary - Belgian TripelBottled - Big Breakfast Stout - Belgian IPA - Butthead Belgian White - Redneck Red - Moose Drool - Dirty DubbelMead Primary - NuttinBottled - Strawberry Trainwreck - Orange Spice - Blueberry Trainwreck
How well did you oxygenate your wort? 10 gallons can be tough to properly oxygenate without some tools or Arnold around to shake your fermenter. It's critical to have that oxygen so the yeast can beef up in the beginning stages so it can fully attenuate the more complex sugars down the road.
If it's completely stalled I would grab a new pack of the same yeast and get it close to what it needs to be for 1.040 wort and repitch. With such a high gravity lager depending on the temps it may take a long time to fully attenuate so I'd make sure its stalled before doing anything drastic.
Has your Porter finished out ok? If so, what did it take to get it boiling again?
I am having the same trouble with the Bohemian stalling in my Doppelbock at 1.040.
Let me tell you my story... I had Lagered an Irish Red (yeah, Lagered...) with 2124 and washed the yeast. Using Mr.Malty and another step starter calculator, I stirred up about 800Bil. cells.
Using Jamils Doppelbock recipe, I mashed at 154 and decocted 6 gal to 175 towards the end. I think all went well.... When the wort was chilled I oxygenated 90sec w/ a stone, and added 1.5L to my slurry and pitched it the next morning @48'.
Apr3 at 1.094 Starting gravity
Apr7 at 1.055 (Not bad)
Apr14 at 1.046 (Trying to be patient, but only seeing 48% -Added 3g Fermaid K)
Apr25 at 1.042 (Slowing... Bumped temp 52')
All in all, I guess it's doing well, but it seems to be slowing a bit early. At this rate, I don't see it making it to the target of 1.018-20 and 76% attenuation. I Am trying to be patient, but I feel like it's going to fall short. Looking at the exponential slowdown, I'm afraid that it will flatline in the high 30's.
Any thoughts? Is this attitude heading for a stall? Will it make it? RDWHAHB?
I have a 5 g batch imperial stout with and OG of 1.111. I put it into two fermenters and shook the hell out if each. I also strained from the boil pot from a few feet high through the strainer to aerate more. After two week it is down to 1.020. I used yeast nutrients to boost the health of the yeasties up front. I would say to gently rouse the yeast with a sanitized spoon, and add 1 # or so of brown or corn sugar to get them going. If that doesn't jump start the fermentation to finish, you might try champagne yeast to dry it out.
With a stalled out lager, raising the temperature up a few degrees will often encourage the yeast to continue fermenting
Well I'm afraid it's official, I'm stalled...
My Doppelbock is still at 1.042 after 10 more days.
I've swirrled & stirred, and raised the temp 6' but I can't seem to coax the yeast back into action.
I had wondered if the 2124 would stall due to the ABV but at 53% attenuation and 6.9% ABV I don't think that's the problem.
So, what to do now? I think it's too early to start a D-Rest so I don't really want to heat it up too much.
My next thought is to repitch, but with what yeast? More 2124 to preserve the profile or switch to something like WLP820? -And how big a starter? Also, if I did repitch now, I wouldn't be able to oxygenate the wort without skunking it.
If I were to do something drastic like use champagne yeast or hit it with amylase I'd expect it would dry out too much and overshoot my target gravity.
Well, if you're not overly concerned about 100% matching style, you can always go buy some Brett...toss it in...and let them finish everything out. With that much sugar left in the beer you probably wont develop that "brett' character that typically comes from stressing the yeast out. I've done a 100% brett baltic porter and it was real clean
Or, do you think you might be stalled because you mashed too high and there aren't any more fermentables left?
the last would be to do what was suggested by penabrewchef....pitch some champagne yeast...but be careful, those beasts will eat everything and you're beer can dry out ALOT
...and no, mine never got going again. The poor beer ended up in the worst possible place. The drain =(
Cuda, That Sux... I'd hoped that you've figured out a fix for your brew...
Brett? That's some kind of lambic, right? I'm afraid that I don't know enough about lambics yet. I could see how it may fit with your Baltic Porter, but I'm not sure how it would turn out in a Doppelbock.
At this point I'm leaning towards repitching some kind of German lager, but I'm not sure which one. I would have to oxygenate the hell out of the starter, but then again, I guess that would still be bad for the wort...
Earlier today I had thought of running a forced fermentation test. I'll just have to figure out how best to go about it.

movable wall
so i just bought a house and know i'm thinking about having a wall that moves. i'm wondering how abouts i could do this? I've looked over some floor mount pivot hinges and i don't know how wide i can build on them. I'm thinking i would have to put casters on the ends of the doors and want them to be sturdy and not flimsy feeling then u touch them.
the idea is to have the room expand for entertainment and dining purposes i'm also considering counseling a Murphy bed behind the wall when the room is open. the total wall space is 11feet wide. im more intrested in doing it this way. I've looked and two 6 foot, 4 door bi folding system would work but would like to use this room as a bedroom as well and dont like the looks and feel of bi fold.
No idea how you can accomplish this but I do think it is a great idea. Maybe you can look into how the conference rooms do it at places that hold conventions. I know I have seen large sliding doors to re-configure rooms as needed. I never paid attention how it was done.
Sheets of foam insulation come to mind for doors to keep weight down and they are firm feeling. Would have to be framed some how as I am sure you can not build hinges and what not on them. Maybe covered with thin wood.
This might be some thing that would have to be custom fabricated.
Really like the idea of the Murphy bed tucked behind the door.
I'm with Shades. I think this needs to be a custom build. And you're going to need to determine how much privacy you want and how easily you want the walls (I'm going to call them panels) to move. Will they typically be open or closed? If closed, will someone need daily access to the Murphy bed room? If so, then at least one of the panels needs to be easy to move. If a sleeping room, then they need to provide the insulation and quiet that a typical interior wall would provide.
I'm envisioning something framed like a wall, but with options for covering depending on your needs. It could be drywall, it could be lauan, it could be some of the modern sculpted panels that are out there. I'm also thinking there needs to be a wheel of some kind supporting the free end.
This may be a long shot, but how much construction are you willing to do? And can you allocate any space in one of the smaller rooms for a barn/pocket-type door similar to this? Think of one wider door disappearing into a slot in the left wall.
It looks as if the door would need to be a bit wider than the smaller room's width, to meet the structure on the right, but it could be made to protrude the same distance into the large room, framing the back area (section with Murphy bed). You could leave the valance board covering the sliders, or build out a wall in the small room, creating a pocket.
Furniture could be arranged so that nothing has to be moved to accommodate the sliding door. Is this crazy?!
I found this one, too, which is more of the size that I was imagining:
You can google 'sliding barn door' or 'barn door room divider' for more images.
I was really against the slider because it was going to take up space need for expanding the room but i had come up with a really clever idea to completely hide the that its there.
the wall slides into the kitchen and the door opening is going to be a built in pocket door in the movable wall. the you slide the door into the kitchen the pocket door is going to line up with the door to the other bedroom.
drawing is exposed to show you an example.
Would a folding wall work, like a lot of churches and businesses have?
It's kind of like the folding glass doors that are becoming really popular.
no i think im gonna go with the wall that slides into the kitchen it seems like it will be the cheapest for me to build i can get the hardware from tractor supply for about 300 for everything. im on a budget and don't need anything fancy i might not even get around to building it for a while.
linuxfox, I found a link to pics of sliding barn doors on the houzz site. This may give you some more ideas.
Here is a link that might be useful: 67, 861 sliding barn doors

Check these out, too...
Nope, coffee doesn't stunt your growth. That's just a myth.
One cup of coffee (or another caffeinated drink like soda) a day probably won't do you any harm, but if you're drinking more than that, it might be a good idea to cut back a little, because too much caffeine can cause anxiety and interfere with your sleep. Generally, any drink high in caffeine is not going to hydrate you very much, and in order to stay at maximum energy to enjoy all of your activities, you should stick to drinks like water and juice, that are going to give you that necessary hydration.
If you have trouble getting yourself going in the morning without a shot of caffeine, make sure you're getting enough sleep at night, exercising regularly and drinking enough water. If you're searching for a morning beverage to replace your coffee, try herbal tea or green tea, which still has some caffeine, but less than coffee.

In the span of a few weeks Jay Z's new artist-owned streaming service has gone from an unknown foreign underdog to the talk of the town.
Yesterday, TIDAL launched with a showy press conference featuring more than a dozen high-profile artists that each reportedly own a stake in the company. Speaking with Billboard about the rollout, Jay Z explained why he chose to invest in streaming,
"For someone like me, I can go on tour," Jay Z said of a musician's
When asked if he encountered any major label backlash when presenting the idea around the industry, Jay offered that TIDAL isn't in competition with labels.
"I think the labels were a bit suspicious that we were creating a record company," he said. "It's not a record company; if anything, it's a record

You could just as well heat the putty knife and re-smooth with the putty knife and scraper for cosmetic .

Captain Audio will tease the impending release of its first full-length disc, LUXURY or whether it is better to be loved than feared, on February 12, with a listening party at the Angstrom Gallery in Exposition Park. The forthcoming album, set for release on Last Beat Records, will be played in its entirety at the party, and if it's anything like the song the label sent over a few days ago, the disc is even better than the group's splendid debut, last year's My ears are ringing but my heart's ok. The night will also include some sort of performance by the band (we're not sure exactly what that entails), as well as two new Captain Audio videos -- "Bugs," by former Go Metric USA bassist Lindsay Romig, and "Drivin, Ridin," by Derek Welch. The listening party begins at 7:30 p.m. and lasts until 10 p.m. Captain Audio has a way with this kind of event (the CD release party at Liquid Lounge early last year -- where members Brandon Curtis, Josh Garza, and Regina Chellew performed in opposite corners of the room -- comes to mind), so you definitely shouldn't miss it. But, after all, since this is all gossip and hearsay, you shouldn't necessarily take our word for it...
While we strongly encourage everyone to attend The Dismemberment Plan gig at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios on Friday, if you are looking for an alternative, Baptist Generals, Wiring Prank, and Austin's Knife in the Water will perform the same night at Dan's Bar in Denton. The show serves as a pre-CD-release party for Baptist Generals, whose Dog EP is being reissued by Quality Park Records on March 14 with a handful of new recordings. On the same day, Quality Park will also put out Band-Kits: A Compilation of Denton, Texas Music ca. 2000, which -- among new tracks by Slobberbone, Mandarin, The Falcon Project, Budapest one, and others -- features an absolutely beautiful unreleased song by Centro-matic, "My, My." As if you would expect anything less from Will Johnson and company. Or Quality Park, for that matter...
[DARYL], Red Animal War, and Sand Which Is perform February 17 at The Door, a homecoming of sorts for [DARYL] singer-guitarist-keyboard player Dylan Silvers, who spent a few weeks on the road playing keyboards for The Deathray Davies on their tour with the Old 97's. [DARYL] will begin recording its debut for Lawrence, Kansas-based Urinine Records around the same time, spending a few days in the studio before heading out on its own tour, a short trek through the Midwest. Red Animal War, on the other hand, is already putting the finishing touches on its debut, which is all but complete. The band will play a handful of dates with Sand Which Is following the gig at The Door. And Sand Which Is is a step ahead of both other bands on the bill, recently releasing its first full-length, Burn Right Through, on its own label Big Crunch. Burn Right Through features guest appearances by At the Drive In's Cedric Bixler and Jim Ward, who also produced the album. You can pick up a copy of the record at the show, or head to www.bigcrunch.com. We're buying three...
Speaking of the Old 97's (well, we sort of were), the band will be playing a pair of shows at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios on February 29 and March 1. This is at least the third time the 97's and Rubber Gloves have tried to make a love connection, and it appears as if this time the gigs will actually come off. The group recently finished shooting its second video (man, we never even saw the first one), a clip for "Jagged," which is set to be the third single released off last year's Fight Songs. The Ranchero Brothers -- better known as Rhett Miller and Murry Hammond -- will perform February 16 at Gypsy Tea Room, with Meredith Miller opening. Both the Rancheros and the 97's are scheduled to begin recording albums this spring, with at least the Rancheros disc planned for release later this year. And if it seems as though Fight Songs wasn't quite the success the band and its label, Elektra Records, had hoped, we recently spent a week in Chicago, and "Nineteen" got more play there than the late Wilt Chamberlain did after games. So it's working somewhere...

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

2015 FICE President
Spring Training is here. Take me out to the ball game! The sound of the crack of the bat will soon be heard all over Florida as we welcome baseball fans from around the country. Stadiums will be full. Hotels overbooked. Airports and roads congested. The excitement of the crowd. Florida's infrastructure is well designed for the demand.
As engineers we are always training and playing; our season never ends. Engineers must be at the top of their game at all times. Our companies must have strong owners, managers, coaches and players all focused on winning the game and pleasing the crowd. We must compete for projects against our fellow professionals with grand slam game presentations that pitch ideas out of the park. And we must protect the rules of the game.
Our profession of course has one major distinction with baseball. One day we are competing with each other for a project, the next day we are teamed together to win a different one. As we assemble our teams and put our star players in their best position, we must always respect the integrity and ethics of our profession, complying with the rules of the game.
It is this common bond that draws us together as engineers and is the strength of FICE.
Batter up. Play ball!

The location of this property was ideal for our group. It was located on the beach, was near the main boulevard, restaurants, casinos, and stores. The staff, with only one exception, was very helpful and friendly. Our room was overlooked the beach, but was near the restaurant, so we could hear the staff cleaning and prepping food throughout the day. We also had a problem with water that leaked near the door, but we couldn't determine where it was coming from and the staff never "fixed" the problem. Check property rental fees carefully because there were major differences in the prices paid for the identical room. This matter was not addressed by the booking agent, Jackie.
Wonderful place, nice & clean well kept & updated only problem cable tv goes out at a certain time on some channels. able to walk the property without any trouble with other vacationers or natives, everyone is friendly. the casino in short walking distance did not have to drive there. planning on retruning again in a few months. I hope I will be staying at the same resort such a convience to the store, ATM & the 24 hour restaurant down the hill has friendly beach employees helping with your chairs & umbrellas, of course you give them a little tip for their service which is ok they work hard in that hot sun and of course the sun is so relaxing & it gets hot you will tan even if you are not trying to. Nice place to vacation & enjoy See you soon!!!!!

Zero Down: "The Real Deal"
Thank you for your interest in our
Zero Down Home Purchase Programs
. You've taken the first step to making the
of homeownership a reality.
As you know, the hardest part of buying a home is trying to save the large down payment required to buy a home. For the average homebuyer, putting 20% down is just not possible, and in most cases, just not smart. Even the 5% down programs are out of reach for most people. Imagine if the need for a down payment was eliminated. With our programs, the need for a
down payment is eliminated.
Even if you have cash, why would you give it up when the difference in mortgage payments is so minimal it just makes sense to find more useful things you can do with your hard earned money.
You say, "Don't I need to have excellent credit?" The answer is
In recent years there have been 1,000's of programs brought to market that can help people with all types of credit and income situations. Whether you have good, bad, or no credit, you may qualify. Whether you are W2'd, 1099'd, or self-employed, you may qualify.
Normal Program Qualifications
Minimum of 2 year employment or self-employment work history. This can be
waived if you are a recent college or trade school grad.
Last 2 years of good credit { past bankruptcies, tax liens, judgments, repossessions,
slow credit will not disqualify you from most programs}
Save an amount equal to the normal first month's rent and security deposit
required for renting
minimum of $1,500
. { This can be a gift, grant, borrowed, etc...}
If you are serious about becoming a homeowner
, you need to take the next step and to see if you can become a homeowner. This service is
and painless. Imagine what it would be like to own your own home. It could happen, but won't unless you make the effort and try.
Take the First Step Now!!!

Zed Jungle, please stop it summoners
So I play some champ today and of course we are gonna get a lot of Zeds wanting to jungle.
From the 3 games i played with a jungle zed playing in different lanes myself i can count the number of ganks i got on one hand. Not only that there was not one single effective gank in that poor number.
So Summoners i beg you. If you are gonna jungle Zed, DONT.
Please spare us all the pain and dissappointment of having you on our team.
K thanks
has no hard cc = bad jungle
Yeah, he is an effin terrible jungle.
New jungle were you get more gold might change that, but atm he needs too much farm to be viable to work in jungle.
His jungle is weak, at 6 it gets stronger with his ult but he is probably in the bottom 10% of viable junglers. I could see jungle akali becoming a more viable pick than jungle zed
Really? I had a pretty good game jungling with him. His clear speed is amazing and his ganks while not that great do to his lack of hard CC are still acceptable.
His clear speed is incredible, but his ganks are serious chunks. However, I see him being a very effective counter jungler along the lines of Shyvana.
Shyvana says "hi"
Also, after the jungle change, Zed will be more appealing because early game ganks are going to be less viable and farm junglers will be more appealing. Zed CAN gank, he just can't gank as hard as other people and do all the lane's work for them.
For solo queue, I'd agree in that his clear time is great but his gank utility is... very lackluster.
In premades, though, he could be absolutely brutal if you're running with people you know will have hard CCs in their lanes, like Shen top, Taric or Leona bottom, or a high-burst AP caster with a stun mid.
His burst damage is insane; if your lane can work with you to secure the gank, you can drop them pretty much instantly.
And Jungling isn't always about ganks. It's about applying pressure to the lane too.
i would say he is pretty much in the same boat as shyvanna when it comes to ganking - prob should go smite exhaust on him - flash not really necessary as he can shadow clone over walls and such just my two cents

Seems like the general consensus is to add fruit when transferring to secondary. Makes sense.
I would like to avoid having any seeds in my bottling bucket when that time comes, and I think adding loose fruit to the secondary would make that difficult for some fruits (i.e. raspberries, blackberries, anything with lots of small seeds).
I have seen the threads with loose fruit in the secondary...just looks like it would be tough to get rid of all the little pulp particles and tiny seeds when transferring. Filtering/straining would promote oxidation I think.
Maybe it makes sense to put the fruit in a cheesecloth sack and put into the primary after its done going nuts? Let it sit for a week or two, then go to secondary for a short while? Maybe bottle directly from the primary?
Getting ready to add raspberries to a wheat beer in the near future, and trying to figure out the best way.
If you have an autosiphon you can rubberband a fine hop sack (everything sanitized needless to say) to either the input or output end and it will filter out most anything. It will kick some yeast up if you have it on the bottom but if you let the beer sit in your bottling bucket for an hour or so before you bottle it will have settled to the bottom. I've never done this for fruit, but it works great for dry hopping
I put the fruit in a sanitized 5 gallon paint strainer bag from Lowes. I close it with a sanitized twist tie.
Keeps the beer pretty darn clean.
Do you have a juicer? I bought a power juicer from the goodwill for a buck. You could just juice the fruit and add the liquid to secondary.

A sterilized muslin hop bag or piece of cheesecloth rubber banded to the opening inside the bottling bucket works well to catch any stray seeds or fruit pulp that managed to make their way through the siphon.
I used canned Oregon 15 oz raspberries. They were of the whole variety with heavy syrup. I zapped them in a sanitized blender for ~ 2 seconds to break them all open. Added to secondary, and racked beer from primary right on top. No mixing.
Fermentation started up again for 1 week or so. I let it go another 2 weeks. No strainer on my racking cane, and so far I haven't noticed any rapsberry seeds or pulp in any of my bottles. If I were kegging this batch, I would have gone with a strainer bag for extra insurance.

Very central to everything. Beautiful location.Posted Feb 9, 2015
Pros: Very safe area.
Cons: Nothing that can be improved. Americans will just have to adjust to the size of the rooms. They are much smaller in Paris.
Location: Right by the Metro and the Opera House. Do not miss that if you are there. Very nice moderately priced restaurants in the area.
The staff was lovely. Two nice restaurants on premises. Close to metro and a lot of the main attractions.

Faded grandeur from an earlier agePosted Jan 24, 2015
Overrated hotel in need of some serious upgrading and living off its past association with the Duke of Westminister who would likely not stay there today. Attractive lobby and bar with a very good buffet breakfast. Room was cramped and too small for two people. Very good concierge service.

Good hotel with excellent staff, central locationPosted Jan 9, 2015
Pros: Great location. Excellent, helpful hotel staff. Comfortable bed and surprisingly comfortable cot for our teenager. Satisfactory room.
Cons: The room was showing its age a little. That said, it was clean, well made up and everything worked.
This is a nice hotel with outstanding staff and decent rooms. It is centrally located, steps from the Opera metro station and within walking distance of Tuileries Garden, Louvre, Champs Elysees. We were there for 7 nights and I would stay there again.
