The Quickblade V-Drive paddle made a lot of noise upon its release earlier this year. With its unique double-dihredal design, the Dave Kalama-inspired paddle instantly became a must have among the elite and amateur paddling community alike.
Some even hailed it as a game changer. Well now in this new video, Kalama and Quickblade's Mad Scientist Jim Terrell do a hard-hitting (pun intended) analysis of that claim… → READ MORE
If you're the type of paddler that can't sit still for more than two minutes, this little promo video from last weekend's Battle of the Paddle Brasil should suit you nicely.
It's only 1 minute, 45 seconds but shows pretty much everything from the weekend (except for the epic Beach Flags tournament, which is strangely absent…). → READ MORE
Wanna know what it's like to not only paddle but WIN the world's longest stand up paddle race? Check out this insightful video from Chile's Arnaud Frennet and you'll have your answer.
Arnaud won the Non Stop Division of the 2014 SUP 11 City Tour, a crazy, 200+ kilometre race through the Dutch countryside. → READ MORE
Cape Town, South Africa may just be the best/worst kept secret in the world of stand up paddling. This part of the world scores firing winds on a regular basis and is home to one of the best downwind runs you could imagine. Cape Town also plays host to the PRIMI Naish Downwind Dash Series, one of the most prolific and longest-running local races series I know of.
Well if you want an insight into downwinding in South Africa, check out this great full length feature that just got released… → READ MORE
Wanna know how/why a 12'6 looks like a 12'6? Then check out this great clip featuring SUP ATX/Lahui Kai head shaper Brian Szymanski.
Yes, it's basically an ad for Lahui Kai, but it's also got some great insights from one of the most respected paddleboard shapers in the world. Click through to watch… → READ MORE
The Chattajack paddleboard race is a 31 mile marathon down the Tennessee River Gorge. The race is long, it's flat, it's grueling. The winning times were over five hours and everyone that simply crosses the finish line deserves a medal.
It's basically the Inland Molokai… → READ MORE
Some great footage out of France on the weekend, where the 'Championnats de France de SUP Race' (aka the French National Titles) went down.
Some quality footage in there (love the sequence at the 1:12 mark) highlighting just how tricky conditions were for competitors. → READ MORE
It's been one month to the day since the Battle of the Paddle – one month since the chaos, carnage and celebrations at Salt Creek. So it's quite fitting that today sees the release of one of the best Battle of the Paddle highlight reels.
We've seen plenty of BOP edits but this is definitely one of the best. Created by Fin Film Company's Chris Aguilar, the first half of the clip above gives a nice look behind the scenes while the second half is all action. → READ MORE
Ever wondered what SUP racing would look like in black & white? Well look no further than this vintage clip from 1949, which shows a bunch of Australian surfers charging in and out of the waves on plywood paddleboards.
This footage is eerily similar to what we saw at the Battle of the Paddle Salt Creek earlier this month. I guess paddleboarding hasn't changed so much in 65 years… → READ MORE
Here's a nice clip looking back at the 2014 Kainalu XT race series in Tahiti. The KXT series is a prelude for the big Ironmana race that's happening in early December, an event this video gives us a nice insight into.
The "Ironmana" race isn't really a race though, it's more of a brutal, triathlon-inspired, multi-day event that just happens to be held in a ridiculously beautiful location (the paradisiacal island of Bora Bora). Paddlers will be tested across three disciplines – stand up, prone and swimming – with overall times combined. → READ MORE
A couple of solid highlight reels from the Battle of the Rock race that was held on Jersey last month.
Seems like Jersey is becoming a bit of a paddling hub these days (we're talking about the isle of Jersey, not the American Jersey…). The island has a strong local race series, some epic downwind conditions and is now seeing some of the international names come over and compete. → READ MORE
Check out this cool little clip from Greece, where the 4th Annual Isthmus Speed Crossing went down on the weekend.
The race takes paddlers through the historic Corinth Canal, which is a long, deep cut through a peninsula that's famous for ushering through cruise ships that literally squeeze through with inches to spare. Stand up paddleboards are a slightly better fit though, with 147 paddlers competing on Sunday in what is essentially a 5.8km (3.6 miles) drag race. → READ MORE
Had enough of watching the highlights from Salt Creek? Of course you haven't…
Here's another Battle of the Paddle highlights reel, this time from the Boardworks crew. It has cool music. It has drones. And it has some great carnage footage at the 2:35 mark… → READ MORE
Courtesy of Surfing Australia, here are a couple of very slick little videos from the Aussie Titles. The event wrapped up on the Gold Coast yesterday, with Beau O'Brian, Karla Gilbert and Toby Cracknell taking out the wins and staking claims for a spot on Team Australia 2015
First up the Technical Course Race (is it just me, or do we need a more exciting name for this event?) and then we've got the Marathon Race recap. → READ MORE
Here's not another standard SUP video…
Go behind the scenes with the young guns at Turtle Bay, where they recently gathered for the final event of the 2014 World Series and were met by the first solid swell of the Hawaiian winter. Artfully shot + edited by Noa Ginella, this is a cool little insight into what the best young paddlers do when they're not on the water (serious athletes all the way). → READ MORE
At the risk of tipping past Peak Battle, here's one more clip from that epic weekend at Salt Creek.
This is the shortest Battle of the Paddle video you'll ever watch, however despite being just 46 in length it contains some damn fine footage. → READ MORE
One of the funnest races of 2014 was the Payette River Games up in Cascade, Idaho. Part-SUP race, part-festival, part-lumberjack tournament, the event has been a fresh and unique addition to the crowded racing calendar. And next year it's going to be even better.
As you can see from the teaser clip above, the 2015 Payette River Games will be happening from June 19-21. This year's edition was a great event, however I chatted with the organisers recently and it sounds like they're really stepping it up next year. One of the big changes is Dan Gavere coming on board (pun intended) as the new Race Director and course designer… → READ MORE
While there have been endless Battle of the Paddle highlight reels in the past week, a new clip out today is one of the slickest yet. Created by Chainsaw Productions for the SIC crew, the video shows Team SIC training at Salt Creek on the eve of the Battle before getting down to business in the Elite Race.
Takes a little while to get going but there's some awesome race footage near the end. I love the impromptu game of SUP limbo at the 3:34 mark… → READ MORE
If you're dreaming of paddling in a faraway land then check out this downwinder video from the SIC Tahiti crew.
While stand up paddling videos from Tahiti usually feature perfectly crisp water and endless blue skies, this clip shows a stormy, open ocean channel crossing from the island of Mo'orea to the main island of Tahiti. → READ MORE

DWU women score top marks at 1st GPAC qualifier
The Dakota Wesleyan University women's golf team is already ahead of last year's pace, and coach Adam Anderson couldn't be happier.
Last year, the Tigers won the Great Plains Athletic Conference title by 71 strokes and Lauren Fitts, Chelsea Burback and Jenna Winckler took the top three spots, while Talia Peters was ninth in the conference at the end of the season.

The O-fest is my favorite Sam's seasonal. Had my first of this years batch Friday night. I like it. Seemed a lot smoother than last year.
Less hop aroma than last year. I was a little disappointed with last years for this reason. That said, other than their special batches, this is the only sam adams I consistently love.
usually my favorite SA and one of my favorite Octoberfest beers. They have been increasing the hops a little more each year the last few years to the point, it just isn't a fest beer anymore. Still good but to hoppy for an octoberfest
I've had it both on tap and in bottle this year. Don't know why, but I enjoyed it a lot more on tap.
Agree that its better on tap. Had it for the first time 5 years ago, it was great. Since then Becks Oktoberfest has been my fav, although I have to say that since ive been trying others, they are both fading to the background.

5 Tremendous January Getaways
Kick off 2014 with a fun family escape By Suzanne Rowan Kelleher on Jan 2, 2014
New year, new family vacation plans to make. The first calendar month is traditionally one of the slowest periods in the travel industry, which means there are plenty of opportunities to score a great deal as you decompress from all the holiday hullabaloo. Here are five destinations that make for an undeniably wonderful January escape.
Lake Placid
Can't make it to Sochi for the Winter Olympics? The gorgeous Adirondack village of Lake Placid delivers myriad ways for families to catch pre-Olympics fever without blowing the kids' college funds on a trip to Russia. The two-time host of the Winter Olympics offers skiing at Whiteface Mountain, bobsled rides at the Olympic Sports Complex, skating at Olympic Arena, dogsledding and toboggan rides on frozen Mirror Lake, and an abundance of elegant-yet-outdoorsy local charm.
(MORE: Find a kid-friendly hotel in Lake Placid.)
Universal Orlando Resort
Nearly every day in January falls into Universal Orlando's budget-friendly "value season," which translates to hotel rates that start at just $119 a night. Muggles and wizards alike can take advantage of the low prices over the weekend of Jan. 24-26, when "A Celebration of Harry Potter" special event for fans will take over the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Joshua Tree National Park
Winter is the ideal time to admire the starkly beautiful desert landscape in this national park an hour east of Palm Springs, thanks to temperatures that are far more forgiving than in the summer. Entry is free to Joshua Tree and all US national parks on Jan. 20, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
While Music City USA boasts a year-round schedule of awesome live performances, airfares can be as much as $100 cheaper from East Coast hubs during the winter, and hotel rates are noticeably lower now, too. For an even more affordable family getaway, check out these five free things to do with kids in Nashville.

Jekyll Island, Georgia
Want to vacation like a Rockefeller? In the heady days before the Great Depression, the Goodyears, Astors, and other millionaire families flocked to one of Georgia's Sea Islands for rest, relaxation, and plenty of schmoozing at the ultra-exclusive Jekyll Island Club. Now an upscale, family-friendly resort, the property is celebrating its 127th anniversary with an unbeatable $127-a-night rate that's good through the end of January.

Treatment not recommended on clients with darker skin tones; clients with darker skin tones should consult with Dr. LinhKieu Nguyen prior to Groupon purchase to ensure they can be treated.
Dr. LinhKieu Nguyen, MD
Dr. LinhKieu Nguyen decided to become a doctor when she was 8. It's a feat of hard work and enduring determination when anyone achieves their childhood dreams, but Dr. Nguyen's story is one with a particularly startling number of obstacles—many of which doubled as the fuel for her goals. She was a child in current-day Ho Chi Minh City when political unrest struck. Her parents fled the country, and she moved to the country to be raised by relatives. Dr. Nguyen cites the social strife, poverty, and poor medical care she saw and experienced as factors that pushed her closer to her dream while simultaneously making the goal more challenging. At age 14, with a fifth-grade education, she moved to the United States and learned English while earning grades that would wow colleges.
Today, the physician and mother of two runs a cosmetic practice that values friendliness and personal attention. "It's not about competition," Dr. Nguyen says of her clinic. "It's about quality, caring, and education." With 3-D butterflies and happy slogans dotting the pastel interior and a play area just for kids, the practice's person-first set of values shines. Dr. Nguyen works to create a family environment, rather than one focused solely on services. That said, patients appreciate the services. Dr. Nguyen's laser cosmetics refresh tired complexions and help diminish hair and the appearance of veins, and consultations in nutrition and disease prevention keep clients educated. Staffers are fluent in Vietnamese, Tagalog, Chinese, Ilocano, and Spanish.

Family Tree Maker for Mac
by Ancestry.com
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Lola Macintyre, 16 hrs ago
After having FTM 2014 for Mac for the past 7 months and having CONTINUAL problems, I am disconnecting it and getting out!
If you go to Ancestry Com and look at the Community Forum under "Family Tree Maker" you'll know that I'm not alone. It's almost impossible to find anyone who hasn't encountered serious problems with syncing FTM to Ancestry, or just using the program in general.
Biggest Pro: Nothing
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Steve, 1 day ago
Lost sync several times, repeatedly asks to register (it is registered), differences between online version of tree and FTM3 version - pretty rubbish software. Would like to rate it a zero.
Biggest Pro: None
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Dave Martin, Mar 9, 2015
I have successfully used FTM windows versions for 15 years. I've compiled a complete family tree spanning over 300 years with FTM (windows). In 2014 I purchased a Mac and the mac version of FTM. My attempts to convert my files from PC to Mac have been a total waste of time and money. The File Migration Utility is totally unusable, as is FTM Support. Hopefully, I'll find a Mac version of genealogy software that will read my windows version FTM files.
Biggest Pro: I have not found anything to recommend this program.
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Ron Irwin, Mar 1, 2015
I had all my place names in the order of City, County, State, Country. If the location was only county I still used the commas so I would know it was not a city, like space, County, State, Country or if I had only the state it would be space, space, State, Country. FTM 3 will not allow this. All the FTM 2014 that I converted to MAC 3 kept the spaces and commas, but were considered to be "Unrecognized Places". WHY DOES MAC 3 HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT? Why can't it be just like its brother?
Biggest Pro: Hard to find any
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by jo-ann hall, Feb 15, 2015
FTM for Mac is a total scam! It works nothing like the PC program, and I have had nothing but problems. The reason I waited so long to purchase it was because I was told the earlier programs were not up to par. When I
Have discovered the Leister Pro Reunion program is a dream in comparison. So purchased it and everything syncs with it. I just wish Ancestry would purchase that company and offer the experience their tech person has.
Biggest Pro: None at this time for Mac users!
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Linda, Feb 10, 2015
Re-linking tree for fifth time since early Dec. 2014…Just took two days with Apple and my internet server to repair problems created by FTM 3 on my MAC. After repairs to MAC. FTM will not sync. Considering putting older version of FTM on mac.
Biggest Pro: Speed
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Paul Carpemter, Feb 10, 2015
Bought this to carry on a family tree I started on FTM2009 for Windows. I was reluctant to buy it as I had read so many negative reviews. It was expensive too. I was worried about the conversion of my Windows tree onto the Mac so contacted Ancestry first and was assured that the transfer would be straightforward using the Migration Utility software. I should have trusted my instinct . Immediately I launched the utility programme, which I had to download from the Internet as it wasn't on the CD as stated, an error message came up telling me it was incompatible. Needless to say, epic fail . I am now waiting for Ancestry to try and convert the tree to Mac for me. At least they offered to do that but the passage of time since I sent them the file does not bode well. My decision now is whether to dump this and buy another Windows laptop just for this programme or migrate my entire tree over by re entering all the data and media. I am not happy at this point in time.
Biggest Pro: Haven't found one yet
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Razz, Feb 6, 2015
Has the following unresolved issues:
1) Will not sync with online tree and declare it does not exist when the tree on ancestry is still right there.
2) Expect from one hour to two weeks for media to be converted and added to the tree, but some will never convert.
Biggest Pro: Looks nice
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Gene Osland, Jan 31, 2015
What a pile of junk. Crashes, fails to sync. I can't figure out how to even do a research.
Spent an hour with tech support only to have them send me email directions. It was obvious to me that the Tech Support gal didn't understand the software.
Don't buy.
Biggest Pro: There are no pros when the software runs like a model T.
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Greg Rhodes, Jan 29, 2015
I agree that this software is very unsettling. It freezes frequently, terminates, mutates, you name it. The blue bar for "Media Processing" is like watching grass grow or paint dry. Will research for another brand for use on the MacBook Air.
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Kevin, Jan 25, 2015
Version 3 for Mac has great appearance and a strong set of features. I purchased the companion book which was very helpful for getting started. Problem 1 appeared when I realized the software would not synch correctly with Ancestry's website. Technical support could not resolve this issue, so I accessed Ancestry.com outside of Family Tree Maker. Problem 2 was logging in with Safari (version 5.1.10), the latest version available for my fairly recent iMac. I was forced to use Foxfire. Tech support was friendly but poorly trained, preferring to send email documents with written instructions. Fixes sent were ineffective. Following one set of instructions actually trashed my family file, leaving me with a year's worth of data that disappeared. A supervisor with tech support helped me restore from a back-up file, but my original problems have not been resolved in over 12 months. Version 3 for Mac is buggy and the compatibility with browsers a huge disappointment. This software was not ready for release in 2014, and still does not function properly in 2015.
Biggest Pro: Impressive design features
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by J. McFarland, Jan 19, 2015
FTM3 is extremely frustrating. Media processing goes on forever - today's sync has been working for 16 hours and is not finished. Consequently, I have no idea whether all of my media has transferred or not. .htm files will not transfer from FTM to ancestry.com, but finding and changing them is very time consuming. But, the .htm files originally came from ancestry.com into my FTM2 files. The people who answer the support phone number at Ancestry - after waits of at least 30 minutes, do not seem to know what they are talking about. They only send links to useless information. If you ask them to walk you through what do them should be an easy fix, they refuse and just send out more links.
Biggest Pro: None that I have discovered so far.
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by John Chambers, Dec 30, 2014
Family Tree Maker for Mac version 3 has been a problematic since I bought the software. It is becoming more hit and miss each time I use it. Today the software has decided it will crash everytime I try to display my tree. I can view "Places", I can view "Media", I can view "Sources", I can view "Publish", I can view "Web Search" but heaven forbid if I want to view my tree by selecting "People". The software crashes and generates a crash report for Apple. This is seriously the worst and most unstable software I have every experienced. I makes Windows operating systems appear to be the Gold standard in software stability by comparison. Any company with half an ounce of credibility would be ashamed to put their name to this software.
Biggest Pro: Cannot think of any redeeming features at present except that the developers have perfected the art of producing unstable software.
Family Tree Maker for Mac Review by Barbara Smith, Dec 27, 2014
It's pretty awful.
I have used both the PC and mac versions and the software is getting worse.
I would actually give the mac version a 1.1 because it does (sort of) sync your online tree at ancestry with your computer version, but has the following unresolved issues:
1) Will suddenly become unsynced from the online tree and declare it does not exist when the tree on ancestry is still right there.
2) Media conversions from a Mac are problematical. Expect from one hour to two weeks for media to be converted and added to the tree, but some will never convert.
3) Don't expect anything like useful suggestions or help from Ancestry. Ancestry just says "clear your cache and cookies" for all issues-(and really there are too many to list–just giving the most irritating.)Yeah, well taking care of cache and cookies is part of computer maintenance and I do take care of it. They tell me that one more time and I may blow my cookies.
4) This issue has happened twice to me and once each to friends of mine. The tree suddenly corrupts, making up to ten duplicates of individuals, merging people who have nothing in common and may be hundreds of years apart in age, marries people who never met and gives them random children–some of whom may be many years older than their "new parents."
5) Don't expect "merge duplicates" to be any help either. I wonder if the software writers just randomly match up people? It will match "duplicates" who do not have the same name, same parents, same siblings, spouses and may be hundreds of years apart in age.
Biggest Pro: I am trying to find one

Tapestry Vine, Cissus Discolor
Hi all,
I would like to hear from growers of the above plant. Contributors on the web say it is an easy plant but I don't believe that to be the case.
Can you tell me your experience with growing yours?
Hi Susan. Which 'contributors said C. discolor is easy, if you don't mind me asking?
I've had a couple over the years.
From 1-5, 1 being the easiest 5 being the most difficult, C. discolor gets a 3.
IMO, if one can grow Begonias, 'indoors,' one can grow Cissus discolor.
They're beautiful plants, very nice colors. The last discolor lived about 3 years, but I take blame for its demise..soil dried way too much.
Are you thinking about buying one? Toni
Hi Susan,
I'm sure you realize 'easy' is quite a relative term. One needs to take that w/ a grain of salt & do one's own reading (which it sounds like you've been doing) & then draw one's own conclusions.
AVs are said to be easy: well, I can grow them pretty well & propagate them great, but can't bloom 'em if my life depended on it. The AVs I propagated have then gone on to glorious bloom w/ my sister, go figure (am guessing she's got light conditions more to their satisfaction).
Pothos too are said to be indestructible, yet there are folks who appear from time to time claiming they can't grow them at all; kill them often from overwatering.
Sansevierias are also said to be near impossible to kill (except by overwatering). Tho' my Sans. collection gets larger every month, I've killed a few from underwatering.
So it just goes to show just how relative that term is: what's easy for some is near impossible for others & vice versa. I wouldn't look for hard & fast rules on this.
Believe me I know from actual experience. I did get one from Pepper's Greenhouse in Delaware and would like to keep it for a while:))))).
The last one I had was from Logees. It stayed alive but did not grow at the office. Once I took it home, it went straight into demise.
They are beautiful plants so hopefully I can enjoy this one for a while. I have seen huge baskets of them at a rare plants garden center in Northern Virginia hanging clear to the floor. I have also seen them at that same place in the marked down area but didn't buy one.
Toni: The people I was talking about when you google a plant species and then read all the articles about that plant.
Thanks all,
Karen you're 100% right. Indestructable plants, Sans, Cactus, Pothos, blah blah...who makes these rules? lol
Susan, maybe I shouldn't say this, but I am NO Logee's customer. I used to shop at their nursery regularly, back when plants were shipped in 4" pots, not 2.5", and even though prices were a little higher, (pre-internet days) they had plants not sold here. Quality comes first..
I love Accents. His plants are healthy and prices can't be beat.
With proper care you should be able to keep your C. discolor alive.
Have you receieved your plant yet? Get any other goodies? lol.
They do well in bright, in-direct summer sun. Leaves are thin; harsh sun will fry them.
In our local conservatory, C. discolors are grown directly in soil, as groundcovers..Nearby, large plants/trees prevent strong rays. The soil is always moist. 'Soil shouldn't stay constantly moist in a pot.'
Because soil is so damp, Fungus Gnats fly around the Cissus, even though they spray.
Have you ever seen the dates on some of the articles? lol. 2004/5/6..Toni
Well Toni,
I guess this is what makes a horse race. I ordered from Accents a summer or 2 ago, 4 or 5 hoyas, 2 were mis-identified, 1 crashed shortly after arrival & the only one still alive a year (or was it 2 yrs. ago already) is a tiny little Hoya that was mis-IDed. I think it's H davicummingi, or that's was it was wrongly IDed as.
They even had some bogus name (I think they invented it) for a Hoya lacunosa which I originally referred to as a speckled lacunosa when I found it in NYC severla yrs. ago (before EA started calling them things like Ruby Sue & Royal Flush). They called it Hoya indonesia, never acclimated to my home.
I would NOT buy their plants again & as for Hoyas (since I know you've got the bug) I hope to order from Cowboyflowerman, both a private vendor & also on Ebay, great reputation, solid plants, good prices & virtually all excellent feedback & word of mouth.
Nothing personal Toni, ;>)
Susan..Did you get every Hoya he has? lol...you're finished ordering, RIGHT!! :) j/k.
I say the same, then, either someone discusses a plant, a pic is posted, or while searching for one, another, 'I JUST HAVE TO HAVE, is sought.
Besides Accents, Ebay is addicting, and many many beautiful greens are for sale. If you seriously don't want to add more plants, stay away from Ebay. lol
Karen, sorry about your Accent plants. Did you notify Accents?
Accents usually has two names printed on the pot..Common, then in small lettering, above the common name, is its Botanical name.
Except for a few Begonias, I always find the common names by Googling.
Cowboyflowerman has decent plants, too. I've bought several plants from him the last 4-5, maybe longer years..Including Hoyas. Come to think of it, my all green Sweetheart/Heart Leaf (Kerri) and reversed color H. Kerri, may be misspelled, came from Cowboy. The green was purchased many years ago, from his site, prior to him selling on Ebay.
Throughout purchases, I've only had order problem, but I didn't leave neg feedback. It was a mistake, no biggie..the Philo sent was nice, too..just not the plant I wanted..
So, you're right again..I guess this is what makes a horse race..:) Toni
I'm kinda recollecting the hoyas. His hoyas do not have their proper names but I'm just a hobbyist and am not interested in selling so the names do not bother me. I also prefer the foliage to their blooms so I guess that makes me really odd.
I can remember ordering thru Ebay years ago for Accent's plants and sometimes I would get a worthwhile plant, sometimes not. This year I have been mostly satisfied. A couple were very tiny but will live. All in all, good transactions.
Since I'm recollecting hoyas, I have tried to tell myself to stick with the EA plants but I have not exactly kept that promise to myself.
I have a lot of Cowboyflowerman's hoyas and will continue to order from him if he gets new varieties.
Hey I got one of these yesterday. There's a grower's tag in the pot that says Cissus discolor, but on the outside, and verbally I was told "rex Begonia vine." It's taped to a stick, but google pics make me think it would be better as a hanging, dangling plant. What do you prefer?
I also had to untangle it from 2 nearby plants. Looks like it might be another "invasive house plant."
How are people's plants doing? Looks like this discussion has some age, hopefully the plants previously discussed now do too!

Looking to brew an Irish Stout tonight. Got some Wyeast 1084 going in a starter. Trying to finalize my recipe, here's what I got so for:
5 gallon batch
6# Maris Otter
1# Flaked Barley
3/4# Roasted Barley
1/4# Chocolate Malt
1oz First Gold (9.5%AA, 60 min)
0.5oz Fuggles (4.5%AA, 15 min)
0.5oz Fuggles (0 min)
Mash around 150.
[SIZE="1"]On Tap:
Dark Mild
Pale Ale
Imperial IPA
Looks like a good stout, and at around 150 it will be nice and dry. Good luck.
I just did one pretty similar but with 2lb of flaked barley and I think it was too much. I also had 1lb of 10L for a little body. The chocolate malt adds a nice dimension.
Brew on!
I did a similar recipe recently. The only thing I would recommend is cutting the roasted barley back to 1/2#. But it depends how much roastiness YOU like. My dry stout is definately drinkable and tasty but has a little too much roastiness. Cheers!
I should specify that I was going for something more along the lines of guinness (not a clone though). I used 10% roast as darknova has along with some chocolate. I agree the stout IS the roast. It just depends on how much you prefer.
Interesting discussion.
All the stouts I've made so far have been imperial chocolate stouts where I used a ton of roasted grains. I always seem to enjoy them immensely, which is why I'm not shy about trying this recipe with a healthy amount of roasted barley. Should be an interesting experiment.

I texted my son today to check on Toby. He said the dog laid by the door I went out when I left until my son had to leave for an eye doctor appointment. Then he let the dog out and put him in his crate. When he got home and let the dog out of the crate, the dog ran around the house all excited and happy. My son played fetch with him. Then later my daughter in law and granddaughter played fetch with him.
This morning Toby didn't want to go out to pee because it was raining. My son walked him around the backyard holding an umbrella over the dog.
Toby is getting lots of attention and seems happy there. I'm going to try to stay away for a while so he will bond with his new, permanent family. They already love Toby. And I love him and miss him, too.
Very nice!
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Real dogs drool!
Dogs are great, and they respond to kindness and firmness. Congrats, and good luck, but I am sure luck will not need to be involved.
A bad day at the range is better then a good day on the job!
I just received a cash donation from the man who lives on Pevee Rd. Thank you so much. It will go to my son who is now in charge of taking care of Toby. He still needs his own bowls.
Thank you, everyone.
Alright. Today I received a cash donation in the mail for Toby. No name on the return address and no name on the short note enclosed with the donation. I suspect I know who it's from but please PM me if it were you that sent it. I'd like to know who it's from.
Here's Toby watching TV with his new owners.
I think they should lower the TV so he can lie down while watching it!

DEFINITION of 'Subordinate Financing'
Debt financing that is ranked behind that held by secured lenders in terms of the order in which the debt is repaid. "Subordinate" financing implies that the debt ranks behind the first secured lender, and means that the secured lenders will be paid back before subordinate debt holders.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Subordinate Financing'
The lender's risk in subordinate financing is higher than that of senior lenders because the claim on assets is lower. As a result, subordinate financing can be made up of a mix of debt and equity financing. This allows the lender involved to look for an equity component, such as warrants or options, to provide additional yield and compensate for the higher risk.
Junior MortgageA mortgage that is subordinate to a first or prior (senior) mortgage. ...
Subordinated DebtA loan (or security) that ranks below other loans (or securities) ...

The trial used supplement tablets which each contained 5 mg of S-equol, and the trial participants took one tablet twice daily. SE5-OH is the product of fermentation of soy germ by the bacterial strain Lactococcus 20-92 using a patented and proprietary process by the Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The process results in the conversion of the daidzein to S-equol. SE5-OH is created under current Good Manufacturing Practices. Following fermentation, the bacteria undergo heat denaturation and are deactivated. The process is designed to produce a S-equol-rich product, or nutraceutical ingredient. The ingredient has self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status. Development and ongoing research of SE5-OH containing S-equol is conducted by the Saga Nutraceuticals Research Institute of Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Pharmavite, a subsidiary of Otsuka, is studying SE5-OH containing S-equol as a dietary supplement for the management of menopausal symptoms.
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. supported the study. The study data were presented in an oral presentation at the North American Menopause Society annual meeting in October 2009.
Preliminary evidence from other, observational studies suggests that Japanese women who produce S-equol naturally may have fewer menopausal symptoms. Controlled clinical trials have documented that SE5-OH containing S-equol reduces the frequency of hot flashes as well as muscle discomfort associated with menopause, both in women in Japan and the United States.
S-equol binds to the same estrogen receptors as naturally occurring estrogen, but with a stronger affinity for the estrogen beta receptor. On binding to these receptors, S-equol mimics some, but not all, activities of estrogen.

Thank You Curt
I am looking into the super brochure. I already knew about it, but never took a close look at it. Will take a good look and see how we can use it for a voter's registration drive. I have many volunteers in my area, the problem is getting volunteers outside the area that i live, because of distance and human interaction. I even tried an approach asking other organizations in FB, etc and it is becoming frustrating. So many people going to rallies and yet they won't participate on a voter's registration drive. This is what will make the difference. Going to rallies is good to lift spirits; make people feel they are not alone, but that will not win elections. We can easily remove all the red coats Schumer, Gillibrand and Cuomo if we are successful.

I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and I'm astonished by the number and frequency of Microsoft updates that I receive. Whereas XP pretty much only updated on Patch Tuesday,I now get updates every few days and they're still arriving. Can anyone explain why there are so many, so often?

If you have Windows Defender running, the malware signature updates for it come every few days via Windows Update. That may well explain your situation.
I find it a bit of a pain as I don't want 'normal' Windows Updates to install automatically, just notify. But I'd prefer Windows Defender signature updates to install automatically (just like my Avast ones do). But seems you can't have it both ways.

Windows Defender is more of an anti spyware / malware software app than being an anti-virus. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/products/features/windows-defender
If you haven't got any other similar software I'd suggest keeping Defender (as well as a good anti-virus). Apart from the frequent updates I don't find Defender intrusive.
The 7 updates you've reported above will probably be due to Microsoft's monthly roll-out of updates that happens on 2nd Tuesday of the month.

Yes that would be ok.Defender is at the bottom of the list when it comes to anti malware programs.
If you do not have one try MalwareBytes.Emisoft or Superantispyware.
1st thin I always do on a computer is switch Defender off.

Bob Hope
- Birthday
- May 29, 1903
- Birthplace
- Eltham, London, England, UK
It is hardly necessary to enumerate the accomplishments, patriotic services, charitable donations, awards, medals, and honorariums pertaining to Bob Hope, a man for whom the word "legend" seems somehow inadequate. Never mind that he was born in England; the entertainer unquestionably became an American institution.
Hope's father… More Bio:
It is hardly necessary to enumerate the accomplishments, patriotic services, charitable donations, awards, medals, and honorariums pertaining to Bob Hope, a man for whom the word "legend" seems somehow inadequate. Never mind that he was born in England; the entertainer unquestionably became an American institution.
Hope's father was a stonemason and his mother a one-time concert singer; when he was two, his parents moved him and his brothers to Cleveland, where relatives awaited. Since everyone in the Hope clan was expected to contribute to the family's income, he took on several part-time jobs early in life. One of these was as a concessionaire at Cleveland's Luna Park, where Hope had his first taste of show business by winning a Charlie Chaplin imitation contest. (He later claimed he'd gotten his brothers to strong-arm all the neighborhood kids to vote for him). At 16, Hope entered the work force full-time as a shoe salesman for a department store, then as a stock boy for an auto company. At night, he and a friend picked up spare change singing at local restaurants and saloons, and, for a brief time, he was an amateur boxer, calling himself "Packy East."
Picking up dancing tips from older vaudevillians, Hope decided to devote himself to a show business career, first in partnership with his girlfriend Mildred Rosequist, then with a pal named Lloyd Durbin. Comedian Fatty Arbuckle, headlining a touring revue, caught Hope and Durbin's comedy/dancing act and helped the boys get better bookings. Following the accidental death of Durbin, Hope found another partner, George Byrne, with whom he developed a blackface act. After several career reversals, Hope and Byrne were about to pack it in when they were hired to emcee Marshall Walker's Whiz Bang review in New Castle, PA. As the more loquacious member of the team, Hope went out on-stage as a single and got excellent response for his seemingly ad-libbed wisecracks. It was in this and subsequent vaudeville appearances that Hope learned how to handle tough audiences by having the guts to wait on-stage until everyone in the crowd had gotten his jokes; he was still using this technique seven decades later.
Dropping his blackface makeup and cannibalizing every college humor magazine he could get his hands on, Hope took on yet another partner (Louise Troxell) in 1928 and started getting choice vaudeville bookings on the Keith Circuit. A year later, he was given a movie screen test, but was told his ski-slope nose didn't photograph well. With material from legendary gagster Al Boasberg, Hope appeared as a single in The Antics of 1931, which led to a better theatrical gig with Ballyhoo of 1932, in which he was encouraged to ad-lib to his heart's content. He then went back to vaudeville and squeezed in his first radio appearance in 1933 before being hired as the comedy second lead in an important Jerome Kern Broadway musical, Roberta. During the long run of this hit, Hope met and married nightclub singer Dolores Reade, who became still another of his on-stage partners when the play closed and Hope yet again returned to vaudeville. He scored a major success in Ziegfeld Follies of 1936, which spotlighted his talent for sketch comedy, and then co-starred with Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante in Red, Hot and Blue. In 1937, he was brought to Hollywood for Paramount's The Big Broadcast of 1938, in which he duetted with Shirley Ross in the Oscar-winning song "Thanks for the Memory," which became his signature theme from then on. Hope's first few years at Paramount found him appearing in relatively sedate comedy leads, but with The Cat and the Canary (1939) he solidified his screen persona as the would-be great lover and "brave coward" who hides his insecurities with constant wisecracking.
In 1940, Hope was teamed with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour for Road to Singapore, the first of the still-uproarious "Road" series that featured everything f
