I'm intrigued by cream ale. Could anyone chip in with opinions and suggestions on brewing one, and any pitfalls to avoid?
Obviously it is more a US style of beer, but to be honest it doesn't half remind me of some of the simpler, less prestigious UK beers with its adjunct use and aim of being easy drinking, lighter, cheaper and faster out the door for drinking. It's aiming roughly for the same target taste I think. Cleanish tasting pseudolager, without all that difficult, time consuming German brewing expertise and attention to quality
So what is the best way of brewing a good one simply? I'm AG and would look to dry yeast as I'm not prepared enough just at the moment to get a starter going. No posh lagering gear either, just simple cooler mashtun+boiler+brew bucket.
Malt would be MO, because that is what I have. It seems that even paler malts would be the ideal though, but hey. Hop wise, I have a freezer full of UK hops, some unopened saaz, aurora and hallertauer hersbrucker and some high alpha NZ ones.
So, any experiences or thoughts on
- lager yeasts at room temps or cooler, cleaner ale yeasts?
- what approach to hops? High alpha in the boil then just a hint of something tasty as a flavour addition?
- hop types? Traditionally lager types rather than ale types maybe?
- what adjuncts give what flavours? Should I be thinking flaked rice, maize, simple sugars or a mix? What proportions would you get away with?
- is the aim to go for a very dry finish, or is a little bit of sweetness preferred just to hold on behind the low hopping rates?
- am I wasting my time and I'd be better off just doing a straight, unfussy, all malt pale ale instead of trying to cut the same corners that megabreweries get slated for cutting?
Skorat's recipe is the best Cream Ale I've ever madehttp://www.skotrat.com/go/default/be...cipe-archives/
A clean dry yeast such as S-05 or Nottingham fermented on the cool end would also work

I've never tried a cream ale. I hear good things.
(That's 10 words)
Maybe I should up the word count so people can do cream ale haikus ?
Brew cream of three crops
It's a good style example
Plus, it tastes real good

Cheers Bob. Very useful info, which I'm absorbing as I plan the brew.
Way over the word limit though

Town Square
New president elected for county education board
Original post made by Nick V, Mountain View Voice Staff Writer, on Dec 10, 2010
After he was elected in a 5-2 vote Wednesday night, Di Salvo pledged on Thursday, Dec. 9, to "set a new direction" for the board, which he said has become "mired" by internal conflict, distracting the board from its mission of serving the 31 school districts in Santa Clara County.
Di Salvo, who was elected to the board in 2008, will serve one year as president. The new president was born and raised in San Jose and has been working in education for 33 years.
He replaces outgoing board president Anna Song.

Headlines August 30, 2004 Full Show | First Story >
500,000 March Against Bush in Largest Convention Protest Ever
Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets Sunday in the largest demonstration ever at a political convention. Organizers with United For Peace and Justice estimated more than a half million protesters marched past Madison Square Garden where the Republican National Convention opens today.
In New York, major protests against President Bush began on Friday when 5,000 bikers took part in a Critical Mass bike ride. Some 15,000 marched on Saturday in one of the city's largest women's marches in history. Today two more large demonstrations are scheduled to mark the start of the convention.
Over the weekend police arrested some 400 protesters. Four activists who participated in a banner drop on Thursday at the Grand Plaza hotel now have 25 years in prison. They were each charged with assault because a police officer was injured while responding to the incident.
Meanwhile Vice President Dick Cheney arrived in New York Sunday and spoke at Ellis Island in an event closed off to the public. He spoke with the background of the lower Manhattan skyline as a backdrop.
We'll have much more on the protests throughout the show.
Pentagon Analyst Suspected of Spying For Israel
The FBI now believes the Pentagon's top Iran analyst secretly passed on classified information on Iran to the Israeli government via AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The Pentagon official has been identified as Larry Franklin who was closely tied to Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith. Newsweek reports that Franklin's role was uncovered after the FBI put officials from AIPAC under surveillance for possible espionage.
Franklin worked in the Pentagon's Near East and South Asia Bureau which was headed by Feith, who also oversaw the controversial Office of Special Plans. They were both part of the neo-conservative wing of the Pentagon that advocated for the invasion of Iraq and has pushed for a hardline stance toward Iran.
Franklin has also been accused of secretly meeting with Manuchehr Ghorbanifar. Ghorbanifar is an Iranian arms dealer who played a key role in the Iran-Contra Scandal and who advocates for the overthrow of the Iranian government
Israel has rejected the espionage allegations. In the 1980s Israel officially announced it would no longer spy on the US following the conviction of US Navy analyst Jonathan Pollard.
Although AIPAC is at the center of the spying scandal, scores of Republican delegates and elected officials attended an AIPAC party last night in New York. Speakers including former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.
Tonight Giuliani will give the major prime time address at the opening of the convention.
Taliban Bomb Kills 7 At Dyncorp HQ in Kabul
In Afghanistan, at least seven people died Sunday after a truck bomb blew up the headquarters of the U.S. multinational company Dyncorp. The US company provides a private militia to protect Afghan President Hamid Karzai and trains the Afghan police force.
It was the first major attack in Kabul in more than a year. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
On Saturday, 10 people died including nine children in an explosion at a school in southeastern Afghanistan.
Today the U.S. government warned its citizens in Afghanistan to take strict security measures and avoid potential target areas.
NY TImes Calls For End to Electoral College System
And in election news, the New York Times has come out calling for the abolishment of the electoral college as a means to select the nation's president. The Times wrote in editorial, "It's a ridiculous setup, which thwarts the will of the majority, distorts presidential campaigning and has the potential to produce a true constitutional crisis. There should be a bipartisan movement for direct election of the president."
In the 2000 election, Al Gore won the popular vote by a margin of 500,000 but lost the election. President Bush won the electoral vote after the Supreme Court ruled in his favor of stopping the Florida recount.
Ex-Texas Politician Admits He Helped Bush Get Nat. Guard Duty
In campaign news, the former speaker of the Texas House Speaker, Ben Barnes, has revealed that he helped President George W. Bush and the sons of other rich families to get into the Texas National Guard so they could avoid serving in Vietnam.
Meanwhile on Saturday, President Bush admitted on the Today show that he believes that John Kerry was heroic during the Vietnam War. He said "going to Vietnam was more heroic than my flying fighter jets. He was in harm's way and I wasn't."
Justice Dept. Opens Investigation Into NYC Indymedia
And in other news from the Republican convention, the Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the New York City Indymedia center. The Justice Department is demanding Indymedia's internet service provider hand over records regarding posts on the site that listed the names of Republican delegates. The federal government is claiming the posting of the delegates names may constitute a form of voter intimidation.
The American Civil Liberties Union is defending Indymedia and the internet provider Calyx in the case.
Ann Beeson of the A.C.L.U. said "We can't see any legitimate purpose behind this investigation, and it looks to us like another attempt to repress legitimate political dissent.
GOP To Spotlight Woman Who Compared Gay People To Supporters of Hitler
In news from inside the Republican National Convention, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will headline tonigh's events.
The convocation will be conducted by Utah resident Sherry Dew who delivered a controversial speech at an event sponsored by the Family Action Council International where she compared gay people to supporters of Hitler. She criticized same-sex couples who have children and compared gays and their supporters to those who lined up with Hitler in the 1940s. She said QUOTE "Before this era is over, every living human being will have chosen. Every living human being will have lined up in support of the family or against it. Every living human being will have either opposed the onslaught against the family or supported it."
Dew however is not expected to make such comments tonight.
GOP to Present Conservative Platform, Moderate Speakers
Political analysts have noted that the Republican party has attempted to put forward a party platform to appeal to the conservative side of the GOP while putting up a slate of speakers to appeal to more moderate voters.
The public role of evangelical Christian leaders such as Rev. Jerry Falwell or Gary Bauer will be limited. While neither Falwell or Bauer will speak they will be at Madison Square Garden. Falwell told reporters, "I'm in New York right now. I have V.I.P. credentials."
Anti U.S.-Protests Force Powell to Cancel Olympic Visit
Secretary Colin Powell canceled his trip to Greece for the close of the Olympic Games amid fears of anti-American demonstrations. On Saturday, activists hung a huge banner on the Acropolis hill that read, "Powell Killer Go Home."
Meanwhile U.S. track legend Carl Lewis criticized George Bush this weekend for using Iraqi and Afghan Olympic teams in his campaign ads. Lewis, who won nine gold medals in his record- breaking career, said, "Of course, we've invaded Iraq and are in there and are using it for political gain. It bewilders me, and I understand why the Iraqi players are offended."
Evidence Shows Kissinger Backed Argentinian Dirty War
Newly declassified documents published yesterday have revealed that former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger urged Argentina's military junta to crush political opposition in 1976.
Kissinger told Argentinian foreign minister Cesar Augusto Guzzetti that "If there are things that have to be done, you should do them quickly...We won't cause you unnecessary difficulties. If you can finish before Congress gets back, the better."
Large sections of the documents were blacked out, but evidence remained that as early as June 1976 Kissinger backed the Condor Plan, a pact between South American dictatorships to violently repress political dissidents.
According to official figures, nearly 9,000 people disappeared during Argentina's dirty war, but human rights organizations put the figure nearer to 30,000.

I created a local branch from a git repository that I am working on. I have done this many times but for some reason the branch was created and put a bunch of random junk all over my code. (like random text and arrows).
So I decided to wipe the branch and attempt to recreate it since I have never seen this before. I went to switch branches and it would not let me because "Working copy is modified." I attempted to commit changes but it said there were none to commit.
I then went on the terminal and tried to commit, discard, delete the branch, change branches. All of these went unnoticed (either 'nothing to commit/discard' or 'cannot delete/change unmodified current branch').
I am now stuck, not being able to change branches, commit the "changes", discard changes, or remove the branch. Any thoughts?

Improved Hands-Free Microphone for Automotive Communications
This paper discusses the points considered in designing an effective hands-free microphone system for use in an automobile. Most cellular telephones offer a "hands-free" option, but an alarming number of subscribers use handsets while driving in traffic. A contributing factor may be that the performance of the "hands-free" unit generally is not as intelligible as the handset.

BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - World number one Lee Chong Wei and titleholder Lin Dan both eased into the second round of the All England badminton championships on Wednesday.
Malaysia's Chong Wei, top seeded after winning the first two Super Series tournaments this year, needed just 26 minutes to beat first round opponent Chetan Anand of India 21-15 21-16.
The victory set up a clash on Thursday with unseeded Indonesian Sony Dwi Kuncoro.
World and Olympic champion Lin, chasing his fifth All England crown in seven years, overcame Danish qualifier Christian Lind Thomsen 21-16 21-15.
The Chinese left-hander is making a belated seasonal debut with a busy year ahead. He now meets 2003 All England winner Muhammad Hafiz Hashim of Malaysia.
Ex-Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat, the fourth seed, shrugged off an early scare. The Indonesian dropped the first game before edging out Hong Kong's Hu Yun 17-21 21-11 21-12.
There was a surprise in the men's doubles where 2007 champions and top seeds Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong of Malaysia lost to the 2003 world champions Lars Paaske and Jonas Rasmussen of Denmark 21-13 21-11.
In the women's singles, second seed and 2007 world championship runner-up Wang Lin of China suffered a 10-21 21-16 21-18 defeat at the hands of unseeded Japanese Eriko Hirose.
The All Englands, sometimes dubbed the Wimbledon of badminton, are celebrating their 100th staging this year.
