Women who go into early menopause are twice as likely to suffer from coronary heart disease and stroke, new Johns Hopkins-led research suggests. The association holds true in patients from a variety of different ethnic backgrounds, the study found, and is independent of traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, the scientists say."If physicians know a patient has entered menopause before her 46th birthday, they can be extra vigilant in making recommendations and providing treatments to help prevent heart attacks and stroke," says Dhananjay Vaidya, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and leader of the study published in the October issue of the journal Menopause. "Our results suggest it is also important to avoid early menopause if at all possible."For example, he says, research has shown that smokers reach menopause, on average, two years earlier than non-smokers do, so quitting smoking may delay it.Notably, the researchers said, their findings about the negative impact of early menopause were similar whether the women reached it naturally or surgically, via removal of reproductive organs, he says, though more research is needed. Often, Vaidya says, women who undergo hysterectomies have their ovaries removed, which precipitates rapid menopause. "Perhaps ovary removal can be avoided in more instances," he says, which might protect patients from heart disease and stroke by delaying the onset of menopause.Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Previous studies, Vaidya says, have shown a link between early menopause and heart disease and stroke among white women, but similar associations had not been demonstrated in more diverse populations. Hispanic and African-American women, he says, tend, on average, to go through menopause somewhat earlier than women of European descent.Vaidya and his colleagues examined data from 2,509 women involved in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, a longitudinal, ethnically diverse cohort study of men and women aged 45 to 84 years, all enrolled between 2000 and 2002 and followed until 2008. Of the women, 28 percent reported early menopause, or menopause that occurs before the age of 46. Vaidya emphasizes that although the risk of heart attack and stroke was doubled in these groups, the actual number of cardiac and stroke events recorded among study participants was small. Only 50 women in the study suffered heart events, while 37 had strokes.Menopause is a process during which a woman's reproductive and hormonal cycles slow, her periods (menstruation) eventually stop, ovaries stop releasing eggs for fertilization and produce less estrogen and progesterone, and the possibility of pregnancy ends. A natural event that takes place in most women between the ages of 45 and 55, menopausal onsets and rates are influenced by a combination of factors including heredity, smoking, diet and exercise.Vaidya says some women are treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to control menopause symptoms such as profuse sweating and hot flashes, but its widespread long-term use has been limited after large clinical trials showed that it increased the risk of heart attacks in some women. In Vaidya's study, no role was detected for HRT in potentially modifying the impact of early menopause."Cardiovascular disease processes and risks start very early in life, even though the heart attacks and strokes happen later in life," he says. "Unfortunately, young women are often not targeted for prevention, because cardiovascular disease is thought to be only attacking women in old age. What our study reaffirms is that managing risk factors when women are young will likely prevent or postpone heart attacks and strokes when they age."This article was first published at www.newswise.com

The Third Fable
The Third Fable
The Third Fable
Depression Session
Everyone has bad days.
CharlaX: The man on the bus: he reads his paper he moves into the light to see the words
THE OTHER MAN: on the same bus: was hearing his cd player just looking for the sun to come up over the hill and give its light he keeps staring out the window to see the sunrise
The many other people: just come and go
The girl: had no gloves her hands was so cold she twisted them like nerves to keep them warm
The Lady: gave to me a dollar to help me have my ride
Eye had the one the two was now the full day pass.
The Reason: gone for going early the depression halving head again my heart split in two halves not meaning anything now hurting like the ending of a life could be my death if not recovered soon could mean the end of life
Mechanical Buffon: eye eat eye try to breathe but not too much eye cry but nothing left that will come out
And then it's over one more day of life.

In this paper, we present a temperature-dependent network model of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module. The ability of this network model to calculate different interconnection schemes within CPV modules is validated, and there is good agreement between the measured and calculated data. The model is used to quantify the influence of an inhomogeneous current and of a temperature distribution between the solar cells on the power output of a module. The different interconnection schemes that combine parallel and series connections are compared. The optimal interconnection scheme strongly depends on the variations in the short current densities and temperature differences between the solar cells as well as on the risk of 'sudden death' of individual solar cells. Optimal interconnection schemes for several scenarios are developed. A combination of parallel and series interconnections is found to be the most robust interconnection.

Posted February 26, 2012
This book is a high qulaity coffee-table book centering on the famous Playboy Bunnies from the Playboy Clubs and elsewhere. It's full of pictures of these iconic women both at work and play and confirms that Hef was onto something when he decided to celebrate the girl next door and not the unapproachable and unreal looking high fashion queens. These women have a timeless, real beauty that the high quality images celebrate. Images are from the 1960's, 1970's and the 1980's when the clubs sadly closed. There is text in this book pertaining to each chapter and following the history of both the bunnies and the clubs and taking the reader into a culture that is no longer with us but I believe it's the pictures that make coffe-tables books either good or forgettable and this book is a good one. There is a companion book called 'The Bunny years' by Kathryn Leigh Scott that gathers recollections of numerous bunnies-some featured in this book- that will add more to anyone interested in the world of the Playboy bunny and I suggest you buy both and keep the coffe-table book firmly on the coffe-table for easy access. I always find myself reaching for this book simply to look at he images which is all I expect from a coffee-table book.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Why are Cavs Fans Acting Like Knicks Fans?
in Basketball
Not many people expected the Cleveland Cavaliers to be sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference two months into the season. When you build a SuperTeam, 5th place is not where you set your sights ... and Cavs fans are grousing about it.
But when you have a new coach, two imported superstars who have to change their games, a franchise cornerstone (Kyrie Irving) who is not the franchise cornerstone anymore, there are going to be growing pains. And that is what the Cavs are experiencing now -- though they have shown flashes of dominance during their four- and eight-game winning streaks.
So the message to Cavs fans is this ... be patient. And if you need a reminder of what real patience looks like, take a look at the championship starved fans in New York, where the Knicks lead the NBA in losses in the first year of Phil Jackson's team presidency. If Jackson made one major mistake this season, it was predicting a playoff appearance for his hapless band of knuckleheads.
Those were two of the topics of discussion today in this interview with Gregg Gianotti on CBS Sports Radio. Enjoy.
Michael Scotto discusses Kobe Bryant, the Knicks and the Rockets
in Basketball
Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers are used to contending for championships, but through five games the team is tied with the Philadelphia 76ers (0-6) for the fewest wins in the league -- zero.
Bryant's disdain for losing and the struggles of the Lakers prompted an interesting question: Would the Lakers and Knicks benefit from a trade involving Bryant?
New York has Phil Jackson, the Triangle offense and cap space to absorb Bryant's contract and the Lakers aren't going to contend this season with or without the team's longtime superstar.
Conversely, the Houston Rockets were undefeated until Saturday night after some experts believed the team would take a step back with the loss of Chandler Parsons and free agency addition of Trevor Ariza.
In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers have gotten off to a slow start (2-3) and not dominated out of the gate as many predicted.
With that in mind, Michael Scotto of SheridanHoops joined Yahoo! Sports Radio to discuss the struggles of the Lakers and Cavaliers, the rumors surrounding Bryant and how James Harden and Dwight Howard have carried the Rockets.

In their dismantling of the two-time defending NBA champions, the Spurs proved the old basketball adage that five beats one every time - even if that one is LeBron James, the best player on the planet.
In this interview with Tony D of Yahoo Sports Radio that took place less than an hour after Game 5 had ended, Chris Bernucca of SheridanHoops.com talks about how San Antonio's system of incorporating all five players in its offense makes the Spurs nearly impossible to guard, while the disappearance of Heat stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh left James on an island.
As the offseason approaches, do the Heat now have less than a "Big Three"? And with the emergence of Kawhi Leonard as NBA Finals MVP, do the Spurs now have a "Big Four"? Those questions and others are answered in this wide-ranging interview.
Can the Spurs rightfully be called a dynasty?
in Basketball
The San Antonio Spurs have now won five championships in 15 years.
With that in mind, are the Spurs a dynasty? Earlier this season, Phil Jackson said they were not.
During the 15-year run, the Spurs have not won back-to-back titles. However, does that negate them as a dynasty?
What are the legacies of Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich?
Duncan is considered the greatest power forward of all-time, but where does he rank amongst the best overall?
He made NBA history by becoming the first player to start on a championship team in three different decades.
Did Popovich secure his place on the Mount Rushmore of coaches?
Michael Scotto of SheridanHoops joined Yahoo! Sports Radio hosts Anthony Pepe and Mark Linehan to discuss San Antonio's validity as a dynasty and the legacies of Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich.
Michael Scotto on the NBA Draft, Playoffs and Coaching Jobs
in Basketball
The Cleveland Cavaliers hit the jackpot by leaving the NBA Draft Lottery with the No. 1 overall pick for the third time in four years.
What's even more amazing than winning the lottery in three of four years? How about the fact that Cleveland's "human luck charm," Nick Gilbert, wasn't in attendance as Joe Kotoch points out in his latest mock draft.
Will the No. 1 pick be enough to make a possible trade for Kevin Love and entice LeBron James to return to Cleveland as Chris Sheridan ponders in his latest column? Time will tell.
In the meantime, Mike Scotto of SheridanHoops joined Yahoo! Sports Radio and hosts Anthony Pepe and Mark Linehan to discuss the draft landscape and where the dominoes will ultimately fall.
Autopsy of Saturday's Four NBA Playoff Games
in Basketball
So much for that sweep prediction I made in my playoff preview of the Indiana-Atlanta series. At least I wasn't alone.
Using 20-20 hindsight, I and many others should have seen this coming.
The Hawks and Pacers might be seeded on opposite ends of the spectrum, but they've been playing quite similarly, going 12-13 dating back to March 1st. Indiana was allowing a league-low 94.2 points per 100 possessions through February but that number has ballooned to 102.8 since the beginning of March.
And Roy Hibbert? Let's not forget that he was voted onto the Eastern Conference All-Star team by the other 14 Eastern Conference coaches -- all of whom would probably advise their GMs at this point that the 7-foot-2 center from Georgetown is not even worth pursuing in a trade.
Seriously, has any one player's stock fallen faster than Hibbert's?
A recap of all Saturday's action awaits you in this podcast with Adam the Bull on CBS Sports Radio.
Heat-Pacers Autopsy: How Much Validation for Indiana?
in Basketball
What to make of the Pacers' come-from-behind vicory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night. Well, for starters, it provided some validation for Indiana after their scintillating start to the season. showing that they have the goods (and the composure) to compete with the two-time defending champs.
But when will REAL validation come? How about a week from now when the two teams meet in Miami?
In this interview on the Big O show on AM640 in Miami, Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops discusses how much of a threat this version of the Pacers are to the Heat -- especially given the upgrades Indiana made in the offseason, but with the caveat that the return of Danny Granger could be a good thing or a bad thing now that Paul George has become to go-to guy in the rotation.
Other topics covered include the Rudy Gay trade, a gang member with face tattoos, and the effects of drinking too much cough syrup. Enjoy.
What is Wrong With the Knicks? And can it be fixed?
in Basketball
Not much is going well for the New York Knicks, who are heading into a back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers. So what can be done about it? Is Steve Mills capable of making a deal that will turn this season around? Will Iman Shumpert be traded? (More details in this column.)
Michael Scotto of SheridanHoops discusses with Seth Everett of Fox Sports Radio, and he does not paint a pretty picture.
Countdown for Cavs: Draft Night Approaches
in Basketball
WWCD: What will Cleveland Do? Or what Will Chris Do?
Chris being Chris Grant, the GM of the Cleveland Cavaliers as they head into the 2013 draft with the No. 1 pick.
The Cavs are working the phones trying to trade the pick, but their asking price sems to high. So if they keep the pick, what will they do?
We have been saying for 10 days at SheridanHoops that they will select Alex Len of Maryland. Here is an explanation why he is a better fit for the Cavs than Nerlens Noel.
Will Heat become mental midgets?
in Basketball
If the San Antonio Spurs win Game 2 in Miami, will the Heat be mental midgets for the quick turnaround to Game 3? No one has referred to them as mental midgets for about 53 weeks now. Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops discusses that factor and several other Game 1 breakdowns on this podcast from the Bob Valvano Show on ESPN 680 in Louisville.

Another easy day of driving - about two and one half hours. Some great things to see here in Hyannis. Within walking distance from our hotel we found the "John F. Kennedy Museum".

Went for a an Adventerous Jog
Went on a short jog today. It was really fun because we reached a rocky beach that had large boulders where we had the change to practice some parkour and bouldering skills.

We took a trip to Quisset Bay to practice our sketching skills. We all picked a spot and sat for 1 hour to sketch what we saw. It was slightly snowing, it was cold, and we had a pencil and an eraser. In the the first phot you can see a dock, I was sitting on that dock looking into the bay.
Geocaching with the Crew
Organized a goecache hunt with people from my crew and another crew of SEA semester. We grabbed the bicycles in our basement and went hunting. The first one was in the woods close to campus, the second one was behind a tree on a bike path, and the third one was by the Nabska lighthouse. The sunset was truly amazing. Also the rocks by the ocean had their caps frozen due to the intense cold weather, but forgot to take a photo of ...

Feliz Día de los Muertos
Pan de muerto, literally "bread of the dead," is a traditional Mexican sweet bread baked in late October and early November to celebrate Día De Los Muertos. Much like Halloween, the holiday is a joyous celebration of life, as well as an opportunity to remember and honor the deceased. To celebrate, families set up altars in their homes, adorned with flowers and food that are left as offerings to lost loved ones in their homes.
Required Reading: Eater's 72 Ways Food Can Change the World
Excerpt from Eater's 72 Ways Food Can Change the World, published September 2014:
Too often, food lovers focus on the environmental impact of their meals-they consider carbon footprint, not the aching feet that worked 12 hours in a field to pick a local strawberry or the minimum wage worker that diced that precious berry.
But the food manufacturing industry is among the largest employers in the United States. More than seventeen million people make their living growing, preparing, or serving food. Too often those people don't earn a living wage or aren't afforded benefits necessary to live a dignified life.
In order to create sustaining livelihoods, we need to invest in the workforce that feeds us: providing a living wage can only translate to better food and happier, healthier neighbors in the long term. For employers, this means putting dollars back into the pockets of their employees; for consumers, this means adjusting to the true price of quality food.
Knowing where the ingredients of our food come from is critical, but I want to challenge consumers to ask who handled those ingredients and recognize the critical role that food workers play in creating quality products. – Jessamyn Rodriguez

Lighting a basement. Need help
I have a basement room I am finishing. The room is 18' x 14' two thirds of the room has an 8' high ceiling. one third is 7'high (soffit). Wish to use recessed can lighting. Can use incandescent or fluorescent. I am using accent lighting to highlight a small 24"w x 20"h fireplace. Will also use a track light (3 lights) along the 14' wall to highlight wall pictures. Need suggestions on accent lighting types, but more particularly the recessed lighting size and placement is what I really need help with. The recessed lights will be on two switches so I can section the room into areas (front and back). Hope someone can help me. Thanks, Grangerman
Here are some shots of my basement that I finished a couple of years ago. I think the key to lighting a basement is to use a combination of uplighting and downlighting. I used wall sconces for uplighting and then used GU-10 pots for downlighting. I also used some low voltage MR-11 spotlights for accent lighting over the movie plaques.
Awesome basement! I really like your idea of mixing up/down lighting. It looks as though those GU10 pots provide a decent amount of light. I will check them out. Do you have dimmers on any of your lights? Are those receptacles nights lights as well? Thanks for your input.
Yes, all the lights are on dimmer switches. I have them zoned off to 8 dimmer switches in fact. I have 2 banks of 5 switches right next to the door and another bank of 5 switches behind the bar to control the bar specific lights. Needless to say, I have great control over the lights and can adjust the light levels any way I want.
Those are indeed nightlights plugged into the receptacles. They use next to no power and provide a bit of light when the lights are dimmed down or turned off when we watch movies.
The GU-10s put off a nice light and the size looks appropriate for use in a basement. Nothing looks worse to me that those 6 or 8 inch pot lights in a low ceiling. As you may know, the GU-10 bulb is the 120v equivalent to the 12v MR-16. I went with line voltage GU-10s to avoid transformers and expensive dimmer switches.
As far as spacing goes, I found that with the uplighting that the wall sconces provide, I didn't need to put tons of pot lights in to cover every square inch of floor area. Instead, I put fewer pots in and they provide a dramatic look.
Here are some pics that really show the lighting well when the room was still empty:
Sea Dragon, Thank you for the photos that can be used to explain GU10s. The last two photos of the empty room with the GU10 lamps aimed at the wall are a good example of the hot spot and striation issues. A quality 12V lamp produces a more even beam of light due to the more precisely controlled filament and reflector arrangement.
The question of which to use, partly based on cost, has come up before. Your choice may be OK for basement rec room movie posters but would not be good for display of art. There are lenses available to smooth the beam of light some.
Here is a link that shows the exact light that I'm using for the walls:
There is no trim ring and the bulb sits exposed. These fixtures came with the bulb so I'm sure the bulb quality isn't the best.

Now I Own Two Audis. — Comparing this car to others solely based upon it's 0-60 time ( less than 5 seconds is plenty fast) misses the point. Mechanically it's a masterpiece for sure...aluminum V8, herculean brakes, torque vectoring differential in an all-wheel drive set- up, etc. Esthetically, you will love this car once you take it out for a tour. The textures, fit and finish, interior (and exterior) design is gorgeous. Turn on the 505 watt Bang and Olufson audio and go!

Junior Member
25 honorable oppenent just showed up but i've got 42 teamworks and no badgee for that
Senior Member
Here's my take on the "how many honors do I need to get to get the ribbon?"
Do note that when teammates and/or opponents give you honor, they are weighed differently. A Rioter has said that strangers (either teammates or opponents) who give you honor will be given more weight because they do not know you beforehand (no bias involved), see you in a positive light because of generous acts you carried out in-game, and can truly give his/her opinion on how you behave towards others. In contrast, gaining honor from friends/buddies is weighed less because it can be mostly assumed that you know those individuals well, and thus it could be easy to trade honor with them without giving any thought to it (bias involved).
Hopefully that helps.
Anyone else have the gold ribbon for "Leadership"?
I've managed to get 3 animations in a row for being friendly, being a leader, and being an honorable opponent, but only the gold ribbon is attached to my champion.
It would be cool if I could have all ribbons attached to different corners of the portrait during summoning.
Well , i might be wrong but that's how it works
it depends on the % of games played .
for example
getting a point in 5 matches , isn't the same as getting a point in 10 matches
plus getting a point from a teammate you've played with before isn't the same as getting a point from a complete stranger .
got mine at 30...
over 70 teamwork but still no honor...
I am SB
how to get the green one
Someone told me you have to get a certain amount in each. Example -> 30 team work 30 honor 30 friendly and so on, and I got them and this thing wont give me a pretty red ribbon :O
Lord of T3h Ring
Generally i would try to get atleast one honorable opponent rating every 2 wins. If you look on your summoner profile you should keep the ratio of honors:wins to be atleast 1:2, which is really easy to do. I have gotten around 3 honors each game before, so it shouldnt be very hard to get honor. The badge is not strictly number based, it is mostly based on average honor per game. You can have like 1000 wins but only 100 honors and you still wont get the badge. Ive gotten my badge around 40ish honors and I only had about 50 wins. Ratings also have different value. You might have lets say 100 teamwork honors and only 50 honorable opponents and only have an honorable opponent ribbon. This is because more than 1 honor from the same person is worth less. Also, the honor from people who give it out from everybody they see is also worth less. You may have a bloated profile of teamwork honors but no badge. This may be because your teammates are premade and are friends and they honor you every game
INJ Ghost
I have 33 so far and still dont have it :/
I am not sure really what to say on this.
I think Honorable opponent is the easier one, took me as other uses said around 26 or so.
I just got last night "Teamwork" which is one of the green ones, and it was upwards to 77 or so teamwork honors.
Of course no one really gives friendly or helpful much so I can't tell you on there.

Here's a quick photo embellishment idea for showcasing your pet's photo on any scrapbook page or even for a greeting card. The beads and metallic threads add that touch of bling to show off your special pet in a fun way.
- Photo
- Blue cardstock
- Small cabochons
- 3/4" Treasure Trim
- Diamond Beadlets
- Fiskars scalloped edgers
- Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon 018V Vintage Navy, 002J Japan Gold
- Kreinik #12 Tapestry Braid 032 Pearl
- Cut your cardstock to the right size- measure your photo and add 3.5" to each dimension (7.5 x 9.5 for a 4x6 photo). Use your paper edgers to make scallops on each side of the cardstock. Mount your photo in the center.
- Place strips of your 3/4" trim around your photo. Overlap your photo slightly with the edges of the tape. Peel back the red liner on each piece and set aside.
- Begin embellishing your border. Outline the outside and inside edge with 018V Vintage Navy ribbon. Make a second border with the 002J Japan Gold ribbon. Place your cabochons along the tape, pressing firmly. Finish with the 032 Pearl braid, zig-zagging around your cabochons. When finished, use the red liner to press your threads securely into the tape.
- Place your photo in a shallow tray or ziplock bag and pour diamond beadlets on the exposed tape. Swirl with your fingers to cover fully, and then tap to remove excess beadlets.
Kreinik threads available through needlework stores or www.kreinik.com.

Tim McGraw Announces 2015 Shotgun Rider Tour Dates
Tim McGraw has revealed his summer tour dates. The country superstar will launch the Shotgun Rider Tour in June, with Billy Currington and Chase Bryant on board to open the shows.
Tim McGraw has revealed his summer tour dates. The country superstar will launch the Shotgun Rider Tour in June, with Billy Currington and Chase Bryant on board to open the shows.
The Tybee Island, Ga. boat captain who pressed criminal charges against Billy Currington in 2013 is now suing the singer. Charles Harvey Ferrelle III says Currington mocked, derided and libelled him before the plea deal was reached.
What do you drink when you can have any drink you can order? Why not salute the Boots in the Sand performers by enjoying the signature drink from their home state. These magnificent mixes will have you wearing a lamp shade like a sombrero at Boots in the Sand this February.
You didn't think we'd put together the hottest country beach party on the planet and not make sure everyone had a chance to go, did you?
Billy Currington's new single 'We Are Tonight' tells a country roads, truck bed love story. That's not an original narrative in 2013, but his emphatic, soulful style allows the title track from his new album to become a refreshing, anthemic party song that will still sound good sober.
Dierks Bentley has had TEN number one hits. Which of those songs do you most want to see him perform live?
It's popular to fuse country and hip-hop these days, but if Billy Currington ever releases a rap or R&B album, you won't hear it on country radio.
Tickets for country music's getaway party at the Riviera Maya in Mexico will go on sale Friday (Oct. 4) morning. Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Billy Currington and Jana Kramer are the four headliners for Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand, the ultimate vacation escape. It's five days and four nights of nothing but white sand, blue skies and country music.
Billy Currington plead no contest to one charge stemming from an April incident with a tour boat captain near his home in Tybee Island, Ga. Friday's (Sept. 27) court hearing brings an end to a five-month investigation and court battle over who said what on April 15.
The inaugural country music adventure Tropical Nights in Riviera Maya, Mexico will include performances and exclusive opportunities to hang with some of country's biggest stars -- Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Billy Currington and Jana Kramer.
During a recent radio interview, Billy Currington was posed with series of philosophical, end of life questions. Asked how he would spend his final 24 hours on earth if he found himself in such a scenario, he gave humorous and intriguing answers, revealing that when he goes, he wants to go out with a bang...
Billy Currington entered a not guilty plea through an attorney on Wednesday (Aug. 14), moving a judge to set an Oct. 4 trial date to settle the terroristic threats and abuse of an elder person charges from April. In addition to the plea, Alex Zipperer asked for a jury trial.

About to put this all together...
2lbs fresh strawberries
1 can strawberry daiquiri mix (frozen concentrate)
1.37 lbs jalapenos (only removed stems) (15)
water to a gallon.
starter with must 1.5 cups
1 tsp Pasteur red yeast
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 tsp sugar
WEARING GLOVES I dice the jalapenos and place them into a sterilized nylon bag. I want it to be super hot so I use the whole pepper minus the stem. Once in the bag i set them aside, and also sliced my strawberries then pureed them and put them in a nylon bag. I put both these bags in the pot along with the frozen mix, and a cup of water and let simmer for 30 min. i added sugar until I reached a SG of 1.075. I let it cool then took a sample to make a the starter and added a crushed campden to the rest.
I intend to let it ferment to about 1.02, then possibly sweeten further with more concentrate for flavor.
Day 4 of fermentation, still active in the airlock ( every 5 seconds ). i havent had a taste, but the aroma escaping from the lock is very potent with jalapenos up front, then as the burn fades you can smell the daiquiri mix. The color is a bright red, like fruit punch kool-aid.
Here comes my question, does anyone know how balanced jalapenos age out in comparison to other fruit flavors? I would like to do a variety of berry additions to make a sort of 'texas berries' series. ( prickly pears, blackberries, strawberries, etc)
The fermentation got away from me, and it went completely dry (0.90). Which turned out to be ok. I have added potassium sorbate and a campden when racking, then after a few days I added in an additional four jalapenos (diced) and two more cans of strawberry mix. FG 1.008.
Still has a sweet flavor, and the zing from the jalapeno is mild, yet staying and long lasting even after just a sip. winner.
Pulled out the jalapenos today. Its super red, and may take forever to clear if it ever does. Hope it will be ready to gift around christmas,
Regarding your question on how jalapenos age I would guess if you added 1/8 tsp of tannin it would help it age better.
I may have to try this wine for myself soon.
"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood."
Dandelion Wine
Apricot Wine
Peach Wine
Strawberry Wine
Hibiscus Wine
Another month another *UPDATE*
So I racked it off a rather thick layer of sediment and pulp ( losing liquid volume to my dismay), and have noticed a rather overpowering jalapeno smell. Its such a strong, and not too appealing, smell that it covers the delicate aromas and flavors of the strawberry....
Totally could be that I added too many peppers at primary, or secondary, or in the way that I prepared them...
So, aside from a flavor extract from the LHBS how can I go about adding flavor to my wine, without destroying it, and what (apart from aging) can be done about this very almost rotten veggie smell that I have?
I'd get a sample, swish it around in a glass and get it good and aerated. See how the aroma compares. If it gets better, rack your wine and let it splash a little, let some of the pepper smell dissapate.
Oh, and I haven't any powdered tannins.. any other thoughts?
I hear the pits of certain fruits can add tannins?
Another month.....
So the aroma issue has mostly settled itself. Of course it doesnt hurt that I have since made a strawberry habanero wine that is way better, and doesnt pose any of the problems ive had so far with the jalapenos. I have bottled them, and will probably let sit for a while.
I actually suggest not using jalapenos with strawberries in favor of habaneros. I find that the sweet aroma of habaneros better compliments the sweetness of my fruit.
I used:
2lbs straberries
1/3 pound of habaneros ( destemmed, and roasted in the oven)
sugar to 1.06
fermented for maybe 5-6 days.
racked and added stabalizers.
added bottled strawberry flavor to taste (home made by reducing strawberries in water then bottled)
sits until clear.
My word, you drink this, or sell it to law enforcement as an effectivemeans of submission???? You have, however, peaked my interest, as I am expecting tons of prickly pear fruit (as long as we don't have another hurricane)and I have an abundance of habaneros, ghost chilis and trinidad scorpions. Not too fond of strawberries, though...any thoughts on another kind of juice? Made some killer pineapple wine, and I like pineapple and jalapenos on my pizza.... The color of your wine is outstanding!!! PS...I don't know about anyone else, but I use a tablespoon of strong black tea for tannin.

Should I give up on this poinsettia?
A neighbor gave us a poinsettia for Christmas. It's currently on my east-facing patio in a new, large pot, but I think I waited way too long to repot it. (We're in Arizona, and the temps are currently in the 50s-60s at night and 80s during the day.)
I was just reading about caring for poinsettias though the year, and it sounds very labor-intensive and fussy. The plant is currently looking very sad, with its leaves all droopy (which may be normal the far from Christmas.) Is there a way of keeping it alive so it will bloom again next year? Or is that impossible because we won't get the darkness it needs and we're too hot in the summer?
They aren't too fussy if you just want to grow them as a perennial, although they are a bit sensitve to soil and air conditions - too dry and the leaves will curl/droop, and too wet, and the leaves will yellow, droop, and drop. I generally water (should be no standing water in the saucer) and then watch the leaves for slight drooping before I water again. It seems easier when they are outside as the air circulation probably helps. Once they stabilize, new leaves will sprout along the stems where leaves may have dropped off.
I was actually able to get one to color up this past winter by putting it under an elevated plant light on a timer and covering the whole light fixture with plant, with a black trashbag. I had the timer set for 14 hours on and 10 hours off and after 39 days, the newest bracts were coloring (I had read the average was about 40 days). I expect they are like the bouganinvillea in terms of needing a certain amount of light to trigger bract coloring.
If you have a place to put it outside, they love that as long as they can get some shade (afternoon shade is probably best). I put mine outside when the temps are in the 50s or higher at night and keep it out through to the fall. It is recommended to prune it back during the spring/summer and then just before you bring in so that you can encourage a compact plant (they can become 4'-5' tall shrubs when grown in the ground in areas that they are zoned for). It's the new growth that gets the color when you set up the triggers for that... Otherwise it will be a nice green plant year round with sturdy stems (look out for the white latex-like sap from broken branches as some folks find it to be an irritant like fig branches).
Hope this helps you to decide if you want to give it a try!
Jenny -- Thanks for the heads-up about the sap! I'm allergic to latex, and my doctor told me to avoid planting fig trees. Now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't worry about the poinsettia. Maybe I should find a nice, red flower to go in that nice, red pot.
I don't like the pain you have to go through to keep a poinsettia. Just use them as a holiday flower unless you live in a place where they grow in the ground. I toss mine in January. Then find something a bit more friendly to you and your climate. Hard to do, but nursing a poinsettia is not my idea of fun gardening when there's so much else you could be doing!
I find poinsettias to be very easy. It grows like a weed for me in full sunlight here in southern california. All they need is water and light -- and it probably doesn't hurt to repot it in the late spring. I wait until it shows new growth.
The key thing to remember is that poinsettias are deciduous - they are going to drop ALL of their leaves at some point before summer. The plant will be a branchy stick for a short while before it starts to grow new leaves. Mine tends to cycle around late April/early May, and its leaves start to look a little bit sad a few weeks before then.
Also, no special treatment is necessary to get the poinsettia to flower. The darkness regimen is necessary if you want to get the plant to flower in time for Christmas---and yes, it is a pain (I have tried and failed). But if you don't succeed, or don't bother at all, the plant should still flower, just later in the year. Mine flowered this year just around February and is still doing it, although it looks like it's getting ready to start dropping leaves. In general, the flower show is not as spectacular as what you get when you bring it home from the grower.

Photos by Request. From the Publisher When Ethan arrives at summer camp for the first time, he has just three modest goals. First, to survive. Second, not to be hated. Third, not to be the worst at anything. But these goals turn out to be relatively easy to achieve. Instead, his real challenge comes in the form of a new cabin mate. Zachary arrives at camp late, surrounded by a cloud of rumors, and Ethan finds himself intrigued and somehow envious of the new arrival. Zach doesn't seem to care what anybody thinks of him. He doesn't even seem upset when he is forced to miss the Big Swim, the legendary camp event where a select few try to swim across the lake and back. Then Zach attracts the attention of Amber Levine -- the girl with an easy smile and a freckle on one knee -- at the same time that Amber attracts the attention of Ethan. And life gets even more complicated when Zach decides to try the Big Swim on his own, and he manages to convince Amber and Ethan to help him. Original and smartly observed, this story will strike a chord with anyone who has ever been to summer camp.
