Symbiote Studios has just posted an update on the Chobot figurine that they've been working on and it looks GREAT!
Their recent post is also the first time that I've been able to see the front of the doll (outside of the original artwork mock-ups).
I'm quite impressed!

BRADFORD, ENGLAND, April 20, 2001: West Yorkshire County and downtown Bradford was scene to a small riot fuelled by drunken whites who ignited the tensions between Hindus and Muslims. Apparently, a Hindu engagement party was rudely interrupted with racial slurs from a group of whites. When the trouble spilled out into the street, Muslims owning a nearby restaurant entered into the brawl which soon escalated beyond control. Starting at 7 p.m. last Sunday, the trouble was finally brought under control by the police at 2 a.m. Two pubs were fire bombed, eight people were injured, shops were plundered, and a Hindu-owned pharmacy ransacked. The city is well aware of the racial tensions which seem to prevail among Muslim youth. These immigrants live in areas of the city where unemployment is twice the national average.

Who says newer is always better? Sometimes the older versions of programs just seem to work better. Maybe you finally got the hang of the old version when they totally revamp the interface of a new program. Maybe you liked the way things were laid out in the prior version of a particular program. Maybe the new version of some commonly used program has issues with your system or just seemed released too early, and it's crawlin' with bugs.
I believe a good example of this would be AOL 9. When it first came out there were some issues with it, people couldn't get online and this problem wasn't easy to fix. Would you want to be offline because your ISP prodded you to download a new version of a program that in my opinion had all sorts of issue that should have been more thoroughly tested before released into the wild? I know that even AOL was asking people that were having issues that could not easily be negotiated to go back to version 8 until things could be ironed out.
Older versions of programs can also be better to run on older systems. If you have an older PC being used in the house you can always keep the file size down and the CPU usage to a minimum using programs that were more geared towards these systems resources.
Whether you're not happy with the new version of a program, or you need something to run on that old 98 box, then you may find this site accommodating. Older Versions is a website that offers downloads of older versions of some of the most popular programs. Older versions of AOL, CD Clone, DeadAIM, and a bunch of Media Players and all kinds of instant messengers. Go check it out you may find some useful downloads.

Susan Shirk '67
Susan Shirk '67, a leading
expert on East Asian affairs, will give a lecture at Mount Holyoke
April 15 about the North Korean nuclear crisis.
Shirk has a lifetime of scholarly and hands-on experience in East Asia. Her first
foray was a trip to Japan in high school with the Experiment in International
Living. She continued her study of East Asia in college, spending her junior
year in the prestigious Critical Languages Program at Princeton where she immersed
herself in Chinese language and studies. (Her time at Princeton predated the
admission of women students, and she wryly refers to her year there as "my
junior year as a broad.") It was at the Princeton program that she took
a serious interest in China, and after finishing a master's degree in Asian
studies at the University of California at Berkeley, she earned a Ph.D. in political
science at MIT.
Shirk happened to be doing doctoral research in Hong Kong in 1971 when cultural
exchange between China and the United States unexpectedly opened. Following on
the heels of the U.S. Ping-Pong team, Shirk was a member of one of the first
groups of American students invited into China. According to Shirk, the high
point of her visit—perhaps even of her life—was a four-hour interview
with Premier Zhou Enlai, whom she so impressed that he announced to the group
that he wished she were president of the United States instead of Richard Nixon.
Shirk took a break from teaching at the University of California at San Diego
from 1997 to 2000 to serve as deputy assistant secretary of state with responsibility
for China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mongolia. She returned to San Diego as a professor
at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies. She also
serves as research director at the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation
at the University of California.
Shirk's talk, "The United States, China, and the North Korean Nuclear
Crisis," will take place in Gamble Auditorium at 7:30 pm and is open to
the public. e

Sub to accompany 4 Klipsch kp-362's
Hey there I'm looking for some bass boost to help my Klipsch kp-362 pro seies speakers along.
I've headed down the diy road as I'm keen to work(for bass) and can't find what I'm looking for.
The system is used mostly outdoors so I need a lot of base for the bush to soak up, transport is getting harder but I'll put up with a fair bit for a good system....
Music played is mostly electronic with bpms from 100 to 145.
I've heard of a few options, the danley spud and these Bill Fitz Maurice Tuba
36's although some talk badly of them, give it to me straight...
Has anyone built either of these, especially the Tuba 36"?
Pics and advice would be great...
If so what drivers and amps are good, transport and cost considered?
Eminece Definimax 4015LF sound the business, any comments?
Any info be appreciated!

Do you have a budget? How much amplification?

I've got a 200w sub amp hanging about an also a 400w Qsc power amp more suited to P.A. I think, used to use it to run 2 of the Klipsch's. I think I'll need more power than this, I've got a 200w sub to go with the amp but never really tested it, thinking it wouldn't brighten up the kp-362's much.
I'd be happy to buy an amp, driver, and plans.
Looking at 1x18" or 2x15" and the associated amp and setup.
I've got hornresp but not really sure where to start, and I'm more keen on getting proven plans than going out on my own.
As CowanDIY is in my area I'll get in touch with him and beg him for a moment...

Most important question - what frequency range do you need to cover?
Second most important - what SPL do you need?
Once you establish real answers for these two, the rest of the choices are constrained by the realities of your situation - budget, space, available amplification and so forth.
Do you have the drivers already?

Just really trying to take some pressure off the Klipsch's
What spl should I be looking for?
I haven't bought drivers but I can afford an Eminence 15' I've seen around the $300 mark.
Cowen audio says on his site that one 15" driven by 400rms(I've got a spare Qsc 400w power amp)can produce as much spl as 4 drivers in a sealed box powered by 1200rms.
Was it you who had those 4 horns on this site?
One or two of those look to be the business...

That was Jim (jbell). He and I collaborated on the design when the T36's didn't cut it for him (Honestly - the credit is all Jim's - I just gave him an idea, he ran with it).
Don Snyder put together a nice summary of Jim's design, others have put these together too. Jim's design does not work well below 40 Hz, but really shines above 40 Hz. Screamers has a similar design to Jim's, but Screamers has refined his design a LOT further with a LOT of sawdust and sweat.
Generally, with the Eminence 3015 LF, you can get loud, but you can't get really low. They are a PA driver, not a home theater driver. The 4012 HO actually goes a little bit lower in a tapped horn. Car audio drivers also work well in tapped horns.
Danley's SPUD is a home theater sub primarily. It may not work for you, as it really likes boundary reinforcement (walls and corners). Though I have never built or measured one, according to a number of well-respected individuals, T36's measure -10 dB @ 40 Hz relative to 100 Hz. This is quite similar to what you already have (in other words - they may play loud, but will not play loudly any lower than what you already have does).
According to the manufacturer, your KP-362's make 102 dB with 1 Watt and are -4 dB @ 55 Hz. Looks like you want efficient subs that would reach an octave lower, so you'd want something that played a bit deeper than Jim's design. The KP-362 will each make 126 dB at full power, ideally you want the subs to produce a bit more than that. You may need multiple subs to get there (2 per main)
Some of the electronic/dubstep I've played with has content way down low (20 to 25 Hz.), so no matter what you do for a sub - it would be wise to run a strong (48 dB/oct) highpass filter to save your drivers and use the amp power where it matters.
After all this -
Answer #1 = From 30 Hz to 100 Hz.
Answer #2 = Greater than 100 dB 1W/1M
Sounds like you're looking for the same thing we all are.
Davygravy brought up a very interesting thought in your other thread. Many hands make light work. Multiple small drivers can move a LOT of air.

And multiple subs( 2 per main) what do you mean by that? 2 subs per kp-362 stack?(I use two a side vertical for indoors or side by side wheel of cheese style for big floors outside)
And also high pass filters, can you direct me to one so I can recon pricing availabilty etc.
Sorry to make a rengade thread I didn't realise the collab thread was a few hundred pages long!!!!
I'll keep sorting through it but it's hard to get what I need from it with out a degree..
Thanks so much

Not all car subs do. It is just another category of driver to consider. Primarily - power handling, excursion, and the thiele-small parameters are a decent fit for a tapped horn with some car drivers.
2 cabinets per main is just that - 2 subs per main. It might be overkill, maybe not. Bass takes energy, you have to move air. As TH cabinets couple acoustically similar to horns, multiple cabinets are your friend.
High pass - A lot of people use the Behringer DCX 2496, I do not have one as I have no need for it (my main system is purely for HT use).
Though I have a couple, my degrees don't apply to this stuff either - I felt like my head was spinning as I read through it. I am purely a self-taught amateur when it comes to speakers, but I have been playing with cabinet design for 25 years now. Took me weeks to get through that collaborative thread, but I must have learned something. Honestly, I think I learned a lot more by making some sawdust and taking some measurements. Once what I measured matched my model, I knew I was on to something.

My family has a hereditary double chin that is truly the last place where diet and exercise will get rid of the fat. I've had the double chin since when I was a baby, and it was only minimized when I was rowing obsessively as a teenager. Even then, at 4% body fat and with six pack abs, I didn't have the neck definition that some men have at 14% body fat. There just isn't much space between my neck and my chin, so it doesn't take much fat to get an extra chin.
10 years ago, after realizing that exercise alone wasn't going to fix it, I decided that I was going to get lipo. The 2001-2003 recession made it harder to find the kind of Internet job I was looking for, and picking a surgeon and understanding how much to pay was so confusing back in 2000-2004 that I kept putting it off.
The goal of getting rid of my double chin was a major reason I started working on RealSelf in 2007 -- it was a great way to learn enough to make a good decision and also to help people like me choose wisely.
At RealSelf, I learned that the liposuction device doesn't matter as much as the experience and skills of the surgeon. The procedure itself only took 30 minutes yet didn't feel rushed. The only pain was the application of local anesthetic and that was minor. After that my upper neck was numb and the surgeon used a thin straw to break up the fat and suction it out. The sensation was a bit like pushing on the inside of your mouth with a toothbrush, with occasional vacuuming sounds. My doctor did caution me that the results wouldn't yield as strong a neck angle as with a Neck Lift, so it will be interesting to see what the results look like after the swelling goes away.
Updated on Feb 16, 2012
Liposuction did eliminate the double chin, but sure enough my neck muscle (platysma) is just genetically not positioned for an angular profile. You can see this in the photo of me from when I starved myself in 2000 -- it wasn't fat under my chin that caused the weak chin angle, it was the platysma muscle. So I decided to go for a full neck lift (Corset Platysmaplasty) to achieve a result like Robert T's neck lift and the difference was immediately obvious. Even better, the concerns about nerve damage that kept me from doing the neck lift originally (because my mom had nerve damage from non-cosmetic jaw surgery) were unfounded and the recovery was even easier than the liposuction. (The drain that prevented fluid from accumulating, and the fact that the Dr cauterized the little blood vessels, meant that I didn't have the hard lumps like I did after liposuction.)
Reading other people's stories here, especially Robert's, were what helped me make the choice to go through with the Platysmaplasty, and I'm glad I did. If you're 30+ and thinking about liposuction, make certain you do your research about a Platysmaplasty too. (The term "Neck Lift" is used by some surgeons to mean that there are incisions around the ears and skin is sometimes removed. Since I didn't want either of those things, I'm using the term "Platysmaplasty" for clarity.) While liposuction is slightly less invasive, the recovery isn't any easier and the results won't compare to a Platysmaplasty. Trust me, you don't want the time and expense of going through two recoveries when you can accomplish everything with a Platysmaplasty.
There have been long term studies that show that a Platysmaplasty provides long lasting neck results because the platysma muscle is sown together into a sling that supports the tissues under the chin that otherwise sag with age. So it prevents the turkey neck and banding that otherwise occur. Sure, you could just wait until you need a full face lift, but in men that means needing to shave behind the ear because the beard skin is pulled to that point. I would much rather have a scar under my chin (where I already have a childhood scar) than wait too long and have to deal with scars around my ears.
This underscores why it is important to go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon (not someone who calls themselves a "Cosmetic" surgeon) since they have the experience required to do either Platysmaplasty or Liposuction, so you will get a realistic idea of what either of those two procedures can do for you. A doctor that only does liposuction will think it's the best answer even if you'll eventually need another procedure to tighten the platysma muscle.

Yes, I think you are pretty spot on with your observations. I believe that a big reason people are apathetic about the 2A is that they really don't understand it. They talk in terms of the right to have a gun for hunting or self-defense. When presented the concept that the intent of our founding fathers was to be able to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government, they have visions of Ruby Ridge and Waco and sort of freak out.
Withing the context of what the 2A was really intended to do, it has already been defeated in that our right to possess weapons suitable to defend ourselves from tyrannical governments has already been infringed.
^^Oh yeah!!!!^^^^^^^^^
Well my dad can take your dad any day!!!!!!!!
I would tend to agree with you for the most part on how the feelings lie across the various people and their likes/dislikes.
But with that said, I think it might suprise even diehard gun enthusiasts how some people feel.
I do appreciate your service to our country but, it seems to me, that you are applying the same narrow version what a "right" is to your view as you are claiming others are wrong for doing themselves. I, for one, don't expect anyone to stand up for my rights if I'm not willing to stand up for theirs.
Present Administration = Freak Show...........IMO.

Following the signing of U-M's second recruiting class, all 10 members are being featured in a student-athlete spotlight, breaking down each future Wolverine, on and off the field.
Katie Smesko is a three-time varsity letterwinner (2011, '12, '13) and will play her final season at Ridgewood High School (Ridgewood, N.J.) this spring, alongside fellow future Wolverine Devon Maltz. Smesko and Maltz will represent the Maroons as co-captains during their senior season at Ridgewood.
In three seasons on varsity, Smesko has tallied 81 goals and 36 assists, helping lead Ridgewood to a combined 63-8 record, including a 16-2 mark in league play. The Maroons have won three straight Stars & Stripes Division and Bergen County titles with Smesko as a member of the team, giving Ridgewood nine consecutive county crowns.
As a junior in 2013, Smesko's 43 goals and 16 assists helped Ridgewood win the New Jersey Group 4 North Sectional State title and cap the season ranked 20th nationally. She recorded three seven-point outings, including a four goal-three assist effort in the sectional final game. Following the season, she was named first team All-Bergen County, first team All-Suburban by The Ridgewood News, second team All-North Jersey by The Bergen Record and second team All-Stars Division.
Smesko's sophomore season (2012), where she tallied 24 goals and 13 assists, was highlighted by winning the New Jersey Group 4 North State title and finishing the season ranked No. 15 nationally. She earned All-Bergen County honorable mention honors at the conclusion of the season.
Smesko made an immediate impact in her first year on varsity as a freshman, helping her team capture its second straight New Jersey Tournament of Champions title and finish the season ranked 10th nationally. Individually, Smesko contributed 14 goals and seven assists to the team's title run.
The right-handed attacker and Maltz were also club lacrosse teammates, where they played for STEPS ELITE. In addition to lacrosse, Smesko also competed in basketball for two years (2011, '12) and soccer for one year (2010) at Ridgewood.
Collegiate lacrosse runs in the Smesko family, as Katie's sister, Kelci, is a sophomore attacker for Duke's women's lacrosse team.
Off the field, Smesko is a two-year Honor Roll member (2012, '13) and is a member of the Ridgewood Latin Honor Society.

"The fact that the university offers a combination of academic excellence that is well known, as well as a highly competitive athletics program that is strongly supported by the school. Both of these elements together create endless opportunities for a student-athlete."
What are your thoughts about continuing to help Michigan build its women's lacrosse program?
"I am so excited to continue my lacrosse career on the Michigan women's lacrosse team. I know that we can succeed even as a young program because of the driven coaching staff, the talent of the players, and the full support of the University. I am thrilled to be a part of this new program as a member of Team Two and I look forward to helping the team get this program off to a great start. I know it will require a lot of hard work, but it will also be a lot of fun and it will be an amazing experience being a Michigan Wolverine."
What do you like about Michigan/Ann Arbor from what you've seen so far?
"I love how Ann Arbor is a college town and has a great downtown full of restaurants and shops. The campus is beautiful and the athletic facilities are top of the line. I especially really like how Michigan highly values tradition."
What is your favorite lacrosse moment of all-time?
"My favorite lacrosse moment of all-time was playing on the varsity team as a freshman and winning the NJ TOC state championship that year with my team -- our second consecutive NJ TOC title."
How did you first get involved in lacrosse?
"Ridgewood has a reputation for a great youth program that starts in the third grade. Also, after watching my older sister play and seeing how much she loved it, I really wanted to play too."
Do you have any talents or hobbies that you're willing to share? If so, please explain.
"I have been playing the piano for 10 years. I enjoy playing more modern and contemporary music, rather than classical, for example, songs by Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen."
Who is your role model, and why?
"My older sister, Kelci, is my role model because she is such a hard worker and I have seen how it has paid off for her. She is also a very fun person to be around and someone I can really trust."
What do you enjoy doing when you're not playing lacrosse?
"I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends. I also really enjoy going to the beach and visiting New York City."

only four stage AMP
1 Attachment(s)
normally are counted for a 6-stage power amplifier
but the timing of the feedback requires a lower number of steps
this amplifier is a modification of M LEVINSON NO 20.5
the input is the inverting and requires a buffer:)
Stee, I don't know how you count, but almost all power amps have three gain stages.
The input stage, often balanced/long tail pair; the voltage amplifier often called Vas or TIS (transimpeance stage) and the output stage.
In your circuit I also see 3 stages unless you count the driver emitter folower as a stage, but normally we only count gain stages.
BTW the 'run time' of the feedback signal through the stages is irrelevant. People often confuse it with phase shift.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/6/2014 (1092 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Things are happening since my previous guest column.
Last month, I reported on my woes that hardly anyone visits the Lions East End Playscape park across the street from where I live. I was discouraged by recent studies that showed we're spending too much time sitting idle inside.
This month, I'm glad to report that a new community garden has been built at the park. The Riverview Community Garden is a collaborative effort of the City of Brandon, Healthy Brandon and Riverview School. In a short time this abandoned area has become a place for social gathering, growing food and providing education.
The Riverview Community Garden is one of the newest gardens to join the Brandon Community Garden Network. This network is comprised of volunteer garden co-ordinators from community gardens throughout Brandon. They work together on a common mission to build and grow a sense of community.
Magic happens in community gardens.
Community gardens nurture people to become leaders. The Brandon Community Garden Network partnered with Assiniboine Community College to develop a garden mentorship program. The goal of the program was to identify people with a passion for gardening and provide them with training on how to be a garden mentor. Fourteen people completed the 12-hour course and many of them now share their knowledge with new gardeners.
I met one of the garden mentors in my neighbourhood in the east end on Friday, June 20 (I usually get Fridays off from work). A group of students were gathered around one of the raised beds at the Riverview Community Garden. A woman holding four coloured stakes was speaking to the attentive students.
The woman was Dawnis Kennedy, a proud Ojibwa descendant. Kennedy is a garden mentor and volunteered her time to teach the students about respecting traditional uses of medicinal plants. Her teaching included a message to use medicinal plants for healing and not for recreational use.
Grade 4 students from Riverview School were gathered around Kennedy's indigenous garden plot. The raised bed currently contains a few traditional plants on the outer edges. She's also going to plant a traditional "three sisters garden" in the centre of the plot.
A three sisters garden includes beans, corn and squash. These plants complement each other's growth. The corn provides a vine for the beans to grow. The beans are nitrogen builders that enhance the growth of other plants. The squash retains moisture in the soil and deters pests from invading the area.
Kennedy said that the four colours on the stakes represent the four directions in aboriginal culture. White represents the north, red represents the south, black represents the west and yellow represents the east. Each of the four stakes is positioned accordingly in the indigenous garden plot.
According to Lynn Nicol, Grade 4 teacher at Riverview School and garden co-ordinator of Riverview Community Garden, all the raised beds have already been claimed by nearby families. The goal is to build additional raised beds in the coming years.
The indigenous plot and the Riverview School plots are situated at the front of the garden. Nicol explained that the location of the plots symbolizes the partnership between First People (aboriginal) views and European immigrant views. These plots at the front also act as the gatekeeper of the garden.
There are other partnerships between community gardens and schools in Brandon.
Lawrence Jumaga has been volunteer co-ordinator at Alexandra Garden for seven years. Along with tending to the garden, he also mentors students from Betty Gibson School each spring and fall on how to be a gardener.
Blake Hamilton (no relation) is the garden co-ordinator for New Era Community Garden. He noted that many community gardeners are newcomers and don't speak English. Community gardens have had a positive impact on newcomers. Gardening creates an avenue to interact with others without verbal communication.
"A garden is an expression of creativity and diversity," he said.
Hamilton also works for the Brandon School Division as part of the Community Schools Partnership Initiative. This project provides opportunities for children to be a part of their community. Last winter, he built an indoor garden at New Era School. He also devised a unique and impressive irrigation system for the indoor garden.
Currently, Hamilton is working on opening a salad bar at New Era School for students to purchase healthy food. Selling the produce that is locally grown in the indoor garden will help keep the cost of the salad bar low. He also provides hands-on education on gardening to students at New Era School.
"It's quite a privilege to offer this to the community," Hamilton said.
The garden co-ordinators and mentors are true community builders. They inspire youth to foster social responsibility and citizenship.
But more importantly, they give their time so others can feel included. As Dr. Martin Brokenleg of Reclaiming Youth International has said, "Nothing happens until belonging happens."
» Vanessa Hamilton works in the health field in Brandon. The mother of three also dabbles in politics.

About the Author
One of the greatest adepts, teachers, writers, and humanitarians of the 20th century, Swami Rama (1925-1996) is the founder of the Himalayan Institute. Born in Northern India, he was raised from early childhood by the Himalayan sage, Bengali Baba. He traveled from monastery to monastery and studied with a variety of Himalayan saints and sages. Swami Rama also received higher education in both India and Europe. From 1949 to 1952, he held the prestigious position of Shankaracharya in South India. He then returned to his master to receive further training at his cave monastery. In 1969 he came to the United States. His best known work, Living With the Himalayan Masters, reveals the many facets of this singular adept and demonstrates his embodiment of the living tradition of the East.

Lost in Melilla: Syrian refugees despair as Europe closes door
By Julien Toyer and Juan Medina
MELILLA, Spain (Reuters) - Yahya Khedr has travelled for more than two years, through five countries and with six forged passports to get his family from the war-ravaged Syrian city of Homs to Europe.
But now that his wife and five children have reached Melilla, a small Spanish enclave on Morocco's Mediterranean coast, their chance of a European life seems as remote as ever.
"People make it to Melilla hoping to find Europe," said Khedr, who before his country's war owned a successful European truck-parts import business. "But here, it's an open-air jail."
Armed guards and razor wire lining the 12-km (7.5-mile) frontier around the town have long discouraged Africans fleeing poverty and conflict from seeing Melilla as a gateway to Europe, 180 km (110 miles) away across open water.
But desperation has driven hundred of Syrians like Khedr to brave long journeys - and Moroccan crime gangs that prey on migrants - to fetch up at the gates, turning the port town of 80,000 into a new pressure point for waves of destitute people struggling to reach the safety and prosperity of Europe.
As the United Nations marked International Migrants Day on Wednesday, drawing attention to governments' obligations toward people on the move, European Union leaders were preparing for a summit in Brussels on Thursday and Friday that is likely to approve tougher ways to keep immigrants out.
That will disappoint Spain, Italy and Greece, whose hope of persuading northern neighbors to share the burden of taking in those fleeing across the Mediterranean have been undermined by hostility among voters feeling the pinch of austerity policies.
Before an EU summit in October more than 360 people drowned within sight of Lampedusa, an Italian island off Tunisia that has long been a magnet for migrants. But talks on a more coordinated, EU-wide solution have made little progress. Continued...

Troll R+ (my project updated)!!!
Just found out that in 2000, there were some 20 pieces of 9-3 2.3 T5 named Troll R Hirsch. They made 305HP stock. So I have decided to forget about "stage X" project and call mine the "Troll R+" project. After all, this is what the trolls called it!
So, after some hard working and $$$ spending, I am getting somewhere...Flex Fuel included.
This post will be edited, so check from time to time, if interested.
Some pics:
- 17x7,5 Stern rims, sand-blasted and powder-coated;
- 225x45x17 Vredestein Giugiaro design tyres,
- 336mm 6pot WP PRO brakes on front;
- 330mm 6pot WP PRO brakes on rear (including hand-brake). The brakes are a "bolt-on" swap (came with everything: mounting brakets for calipers, stainless steel lines, s.o.). I could've go for various colors (cooper, red, etc.) for the brake calipers and the rotor hats, but I choose black-is great! Let me tell you: this BBK really stop your SAAB! (Nick T. was not exagerating when he told me this are a little bit "over-kill" for the Viggen). Quite pricy, also...;
DONE!!!Managed to get my hands on a set of Hirsch 19" rims (the 19'' 3-spokes design), and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 235/35/19! And since a thread delivers only with pics, expect tomorrow pics with the wheels installed.I am thinking how will they look painted black? Please don`t call me a noob! Anyway, I will downgrade to 225/35/19 GoodYear F1 asymmetric, for suspension reasons...
- Koni Sport Kit (all 4 Shocks matched to 4 lowering springs). Great Package value, from Nick T., but of course! And just forget about "experts" opinions about this kit...it works just fine!
- Steering Rack Brace & Clamp Kit;
- Strut Brace;
- Rear Anti-Roll (anti Sway) Bar - 22mm version;
- 6-Point Subframe Brace;
- hardened urethane filled Upper Strut Mounts;
- Uprated Front ARB Bushings;
- Steering Rod Bushings;
- Poly Rear Axle Bushings;
- Uprated Suspension Bushings Inner;
- Uprated Suspension Bushings Outer.
- upgraded from 2.0 to 2.3 liters (crankshaft & connecting rods from a B235 engine);
- Wossner mild coated forged pistons for B235;
- T5 cams swap instead of the T7 stock cams;
- balance shafts deleted;
- NGK BCR8ES Spark plugs (although not everyone agrees with this option);
- Open Air Intake;
- Turbo Intake Pipe-upgraded BIG COBRA version;
- TD04-HL19 6cm^2 exhaust housing;
- Forge diverter valve with yellow spring and no spacers;
- ETS performance Intercooler;
- 3.0 bar FPR (the 3.5 FPR is not used in this configuration by Maptun);
- 750cc fuel injectors (those 850cc injectors were more like a head-ache);
- 255 lph Walbro in-tank fuel pump;
- Samco silicone hoses-complete set (blue);
- Sport Engine Mount (stage 2);
- Sport Transmission Mount;
- Amsoil BIG performance oil filter (some more 2 liters of oil in the engine);
- Oil Gauge (green dial 0-7) from ;
- oil swap to Mobil1 5W 30, from initial Mobil1 0W 40 (the balance shafts deleted, BIG Amsoil filter, Oil gauge and Mobil1 5W 30 to t prevent frying my engine-that recently happened).
After using with absolutelly great satisfaction a JZW stage 3 Viggen tune (thumbs up, John, and BTW, that ECU is on the way to you, expect some 21 days of delivery), I went a step ahead, to a MAPTUN Ecu, to match exactelly my hardware set-up. Flex Fuel, as well, stage 5 Viggen.
The results...yet to be seen.I will dyno it and let everyone know.
BTW, I also got the new product from Maptun: the small device called MAPTUNER! It`s like a PPC, a full review coming up soon!
- exhaust manifold and downpipe wrapped up with heat bandage, to keep the engine bay temp lower;
- 3" Downpipe -Version 2, including Metallic Race Catalyst to withstand the abuse of a high output engine;
- dual exhaust cat-back (makes my SAAB go "brum-brum). This is also a full "bolt-on" dual exhaust system, cat-back. It came with all the required clamps, bolts, etc. Made by Jetex/Simon/JT. Quite silent as compared to stock!
I will have to redesign that rear bumper strip, to integrate better the exhaust mufflers and the tow-bar. I am thinking at a rear diffuser (sort-of M5 type), with the opening exactly on the tow-bar position. What do you guys think of the attached design? Any input welcomed! P.S. next week I will do the first mold. Pics will be uploaded asap
- stock audio system (think level 3) with radio-CD (Pioneer?) and
- a great AT2 from Mr. Levine (nice device that is actually working fine!). -Planning (maybe) a subwoofer/door speakers with subs included? Any brand/model to sugest? (although the stock system is more than enough, allowing also to listen to the great symphony of the engine!
- carefully checked and
- Viggen pressure plate & Spec Stage 3 clutch disc (a six point puch disc following);
- an Quaife LSD installed (makes a huge difference for putting to ground the power, especially when hardly accelerating and in turns);
- short shifter from GS (got it in early July, so I had already some time to enjoy this great upgrade-my extra positive comments on other topics here and on the product page).
- Status update: from Planning to undergoing!!!: 6 speeds upgrade -call me a stuborn !(I can confirm that the F40 gearbox with 6speeds from the 2.2 liters TiD fits in the place of the F25 gearbox! there are guys that did this retrofit in Sweden. Rickard is one of them, on a 9-3OG Conv.) So I sourced an F40 correct bellhouse (to be delivered Wednesday)...I also took the 9-3SS shifter and linkage (I will use Nick`s 9-3SS short-shift and upgraded mounts), an F40 Quaife LSD, a Sachs racing clutch kit (9-5 Pressure plate and 9-3SS friction plate, semi-organic), that will hold some 650 Nm.
What I need: a 9-5 flywheel (still considering the Abbott Racing billet one, instead a the Spec...);
F35 (Viggen or 9-5) driveshafts and a 20mm shorter shaft (on the left side)... a Sweden company (FIXIT) is make it custom;
some time to fabricate the chassis/body mount for the gearbox... pics to come
Other: Monday I will put the GenuineSaab Viggen style pedals, in the place of the "ultimate pedals" (pics of the ultimate ones). I think the Viggen pedals look right on spot in the vert...
IN THE FAR FUTURE: TAN leather seats and soft-top. Maybe there is a company that manufactures this on special order. Anyone knows? thanks!
Our SAABs deserve THE BEST!
Thumbs up/Props/Credentials: somehow in a random order:
- Nicholas Taliaferro (GenuineSaab.com);
- John Z Williams (jzwtunning.com);
- Richard (.com);
- Sam Yueh (wpprobrakes.com);
- Fredrik (maptun.com);
- Rony (racestuff.se);
- Alisia (.se...wish her an easy baby-deliver);
and all the great guys that share theire knowledge and this forum, and other Saab online communities
(hey, you well know the guys!
Next step: to reinforce the gearbox for the final output. Maybe an F40 retrofited on the T7 engine...still pondering on this future project
The final output on E85 is some 360HP and 520Nm (Flex Fuel)....yeaahaaaa!
More to come...

The cable shifted f40 will be very crunchy. Shifts are rubbery but harsh. Hard to explain. I hate the feel of my F40 in the Aero. Wish i had that sort of $$ to just blow on pointless upgrades. I like my cars to GO too..

P.S. your short shifter for the 9-3SS isn`t any good? I hoped it to be somewhere near the OG 9-3 short-shifter from you...which frankly is absolutely flawless!

Steve Rude Arrested, Discounts Art Prices to Pay for Bail and Legal Fees
It's with a heavy heart that we bring you more sad news from the world of Steve Rude. The co-creator of 1980s indie comics sensation Nexus and the illustrator of such memorably beautiful works as Superman/Batman: World's Finest has once again found himself in dire financial straits following an arrest earlier this week. According to a message sent to Rude's mailing list, the artist became involved in a physical altercation with his neighbors that resulted in Rude being taken into custody by Arizona's Maricopa County Sherif's Office. To help pay for Rude's bail and legal fees, prices have been lowered on the artist's original art sales. As of Tuesday night, Rude's family was able to raise enough to pay Steve's bail and a post on his Facebook indicates he's due to be released this morning. What Steve Rude's work lacks in proliferation is made up for in quality. Among the best comic book artists living today, Rude's output is limited mainly to the Nexus library (reprinted in hardcover volumes by Dark Horse) and prestigious one-offs like Nexus Meets Madman, The Incredible Hulk vs. Superman, and the aforementioned Superman/Batman: World's Finest, among various other works and cover art gigs. However, Rude remains a presence in the art collector's scene with seemingly ceaseless auctions of original Nexus artwork and a stream of commissioned pin-ups and paintings that are basically always some of the best comics-related artwork you'll ever lay eyes on. Needless to say, his work pops up regularly in CA's Best Art Ever (This Week) feature.
According to the Maricopa Sherif's website, Rude, 55, is in custody for assault and failure to comply with a court order.
"Steve has had a back and forth with the neighbors for quite some time now that started over their barking dogs. Last night Steve got hauled in," read a message posted to Rude's website on Tuesday. "We are currently lowering prices on Steve's art to make bail and pay for legal fees. We also are offering the above print for sale as well as several other pieces."
Tuesday evening, Rude's wife Jaynelle updated friends and fans with the news that bail had been raised and that Steve was to be released Wednesday morning. The complete Facebook post follows:
Thank you to everyone. We were able to make bail, but Steve won't be released until morning. Now we have to pay for the legal counsel so he doesn't end up back doing hard time for trying to keep his sanity. All he wants is to be left alone to create his art, not harassed by people who call the police on our kids because a frisbee ended up in their yard.
Unfortunately, Rude has fallen on hard times before. Because he's limited his published comic book work rather severely for an artist of his caliber, Rude doesn't share the superstar status and workload still enjoyed by some of his contemporaries like Paul Gulacy, Matt Wagner and even the late Dave Stevens', whose indie hit The Rocketeer remains a popular franchise for IDW Publishing. Consequently, a special auction was organized by Rude and his family to help raise the money needed to save their home from a bank auction just over one year ago. Later, Rude lowered the prices on his already bargain-rate commissions to help pay for art supplies. Rude's difficult situation is compounded by what he and his wife Jaynelle have described on their Facebook profiles as a crippling depression and relentless pursuit of perfection, and it's these aspects of "The Dude's" (as he is known) life and career that informed the forthcoming documentary film, Rude Dude.
Below are some of the Steve Rude pieces available for auction on eBay now, and commissions and print prices are available at SteveRudeArt.com (just click here for a gallery of Rude's gorgeous "marker sketches," which are basically finished cover art priced at $200). It would behoove art collectors to inspect the bargains that have been available as a result of this unfortunate situation. The work is undeniably beautiful.

Superman watercolor painting – $3,000 (eBay link)
Huntress pastel painting – $500 (eBay link)

Data and Statistics
Work-Related Lung Disease (WoRLD) Surveillance System
This CDC national surveillance system is maintained by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). It includes up-to-date summary tables, graphs, and figures of occupation-related respiratory disease surveillance data on pneumoconioses, occupational asthma and other airways diseases, and several other respiratory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Learn more about the Work-Related Lung Disease Surveillance System.
COPD Death Rates in the United States
Although death rates for COPD have declined among US men between 1999 (57.0 per 100,000) and 2010 (47.6 per 100,000) in the United States, there has been no significant change among death rates in women (35.3 per 100,000 in 1999 and 36.4 per 100,000 in 2010).
COPD Prevalence in the United States
The previous figure shows age-adjusted prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among adults in the United States during 2011. The prevalence of COPD varies considerably by state, from <4% in Washington and Minnesota to >9% in Alabama and Kentucky. The states with the highest COPD prevalence are clustered along the Ohio and lower Mississippi Rivers.
Using the BRFSS COPD Data [PDF - 97KB]
Although the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey provides data critical for monitoring national and state population health, it does not have sufficient samples to produce direct survey estimates for most counties or sub-county areas. Therefore, we used BRFSS data to develop statistical models estimating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence at different geographic levels including counties, congressional districts, and census tracts. These estimates could be used in a variety of contexts and meet the diverse small-area health data needs of local policy makers, program planners, and communities for public health program planning and evaluation.

Power On Self Test: That better be a damn good Pepsi

Maybe it's a Throwback? Real sugar IS expensive, after all.
Is this the Pepsi that comes in the Swarovski crystal encrusted bottle?
If it is an old bottle, instead of one of the terrible new designs, it might be worth it.
MMMM real sugar.
I think it's positioned for Senators in the DC area. When they vote to increase their Per Diem, they point to this proving they require an increase. Pepsi costs 99.95!
Seems like Dr. Pepper needs some help paying off his student loans…
good old hacking, that'l teach the technician to leave the default password on the machine.
I told the front desk about it but when I was leaving the next morning it was still there. Needless to say, I didn't buy anything from that machine.
I will be sure to say though, my stay there was lovely and the rooms were much more affordable than the drinks.
Actually, the machine probably was hit by a power surge or something, the 99.95 is the factory default price that shows up when the machine is reset.
If you really want to see some vending machine hacking, stop by the vending machines in the Boeing building in Everett, WA at 3:14 am, when for exactly one minute several of them read on the scrolling display "Free Kevin Mitnick!"
Fortunately, here in Soviet Canuckistan HFCS is illegal, so pop is made from sugarcane sugar (or maybe maple syrup — what is dextrose really?)
Unfortunately, that means this is how much it costs! Where's you proof this isn't from a Canadian school?
Here in Kasakstahn we say expensive Pepsi is for girl! *Thumbs up*, very nice!
Very easy to do.
To get into the maintenance menu its a simple press the four buttons across the top; or press the four buttons down the left side.
Our vending machine at 3:21 says, "Free John Gotti"
I work in the sugar industry and the only reason the soda companies ever went to corn syrup is because sugar USED to cost way too much. It has now gone back down and in some cases costs a lot less then corn syrup so, everyone is trying to get them to go back to real sugar because it tastes so much better, AND believe it or not is better for you then corn syrup!
Not true. Th wording for the term is different in Canada, look for the glucose-fructose entry on the nutrition facts, there's your HFCS…
sugar should be that expensive, would solve the obesity epidemic anyway!
I was the technician in charge of that machine, I left the default password to make life easier you dick….
The dollar bill input?
Maybe suggests it's not from Canada =P
haha i used to do this at my high school all the time. excellent joke.
I think someone just put 99.95 in the machine. Not impressive at all.
Photo: Heather Beschizza, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Crystal City, VA., near Washington, D.C.
Could it be a vending machine at a hotel in Monaco?
Isn't that the Pepsi machine located outside the new Yankee stadium?
i work in a hospital, this appeared on a machine (on the medical cardiology floor!) and stayed like this for several weeks. i thought it was the karmic opposite of the machine on the labour & delivery floor that gave you 2 bottles of soda for $1.50…
others surmised this is where the CEO, drug sales reps, and insurance companies purchased their soda.
#10 – not illegal. If it's not HFCS it's probably beet sugar.
If you want cola made with cane sugar, I'd suggest Ubuntu Cola (not related to the linux distro), if you can find it, that uses "Fair trade"-branded cane sugar from Malawi.
It tastes better, and has the side-benefit of helping those guys out so they're not forced to sell their kids to Madonna.
this is fun to do my brother tought me how to hack soda machine at a car expo farely easy to do just gotta press the right buttons on the machine and you can either get money, a soda or see how much money is in it
I bet the whole vending machine costs less money than that bottle!
"i've got 99 dollars but a Cokes not one."
The machine has been fixed
what in gods name is a "DR PEPPER" or a "BRISK"? I guess the only exist for you yanks.
Brisk is iced tea
Dr. Pepper is also known as Mr. Pibb
both dr. pepper and brisk are available outside of USA, as both are available here in Canada.
Dr. Pepper is *not* known as Mr. Pibb
yes, they have similiar tastes, there is a reason for that…
Mr. Pibb was invented to compete against Dr. Pepper.
Mr. Pibb is a Coke product, while Dr. Pepper is a Pepsi product
Dr. Pepper is a coke product.
#33 Don't look at wiki.answers.com, go straight to the source. ( http://www.drpepper.com/ ) Dr Pepper is a Dr Pepper/7up inc. product. In some locations in the US it is distributed by Coke. In some locations it is distributed by Pepsi. In some locations, it is distributed by someone else entirely.
#26 Wrong! You cannot get into the programming far enough to get product, cash, or change the prices. All you can do is display the temperature and display the sales data. If any company made a vending machine so hackable that the average joe could find instructions on the internet about how to easily hack it, that company would go out of business, because no vending company in their right mind would set their equipment. A quick look at Youtube shows me many videos of supposed hacks of vending machines that are all either fake or broken machines.
it could be in jamaica..1 us dollar is roughly 90 jamaican dollars
Sounds like that pepsi you pick up at a casino after losing all of your money.

Lmao Even Fedor Hates His Fans

I dont see whats so hard to read between the lines in Fedor's comments here;
1) He knew getting a rematch with Werdum wasnt going to be easy because after beating the "fan/sportswriter claimed best fighter of all time" NO fighter was going to just offer a quick rematch, simply because its more to lose than gain. If Fedor beats Werdum in a rematch, everyone will simply say "Well Werdum got lucky the 1st time anyway" and *IF* by some chance he actually does beat Fedor again, everyone will just say "A) its not in the UFC, and B) Fedor was never really that good anyway" --- So in regards to Werdum, he has more to gain by holding onto that 1 win over Fedor than a possible loss+win to Fedor. I dont think he's saying he's "ducking" him, he just knows that from Werdum's (or ANYONE who would've beaten him) point of view he has more to lose in a rematch than gain.
2) Fedor isnt saying he HATES loyal fans. LOYAL Fans are INTELLIGENT fans, who dont go around saying "OMG FEDOR IZ LIKE THE BEZT OF ALL TIME U SHOULD ALL WORSHIP HIM! HE IS GOD!" --- Fedor is a humble guy who knows he could have lost in previous fights (Fujita), and knows that if he fought in the UFC, he might lose a fight (not because anyone is necessarily better, but hey its MMA its easy to get KO'ed or subbed if you make a single mistake... ask GSP). He just doesnt like the fans who are "fanatical." He just wants his fans to be realistic and accept that he is human just like anyone else and he COULD lose again. He is not invincible, and he knows it, and the sooner his "fanatical fans" accept it, the happier he will be.
3) Fedor fights more for his own personal "honor" and "contentment" than anything else. Sure he likes the fact it provides for his family, and it helps bring pride to his home country, but he doesnt fight for fans love/worship, or fame. He just wants to see if he can test himself and beat the best of the best. As a person who appreciates competition, I KNOW the desire to test myself.... I dont care about being famous in the process, I just want to test myself, see what I am made of, and just how far I can go. MMA is a great test to Fedor, he knows its the ultimate test of his fighting skills, and he enjoys that aspect of the competition... its part of why he doesnt give tons of interviews, lives in a relatively humble home in a small town in Russia, and doesnt come out to the ring with some sort of massive "Look at me! I'm the best!" entrance. Hell, after his fights his managers are usually more jacked up than he is. He just wants to fight and see what he is made of.
4) Ducking Overeem? I dont think so. Thats 1) His managements decision. He trusts Vadim WAY too much. 2) I am absolutely positive the goal was to clear out strikeforce's main 3 (Rogers, Werdum, Overeem) and then move to the UFC as the strikeforce champ for LOADS of cash (again I think management related). He isnt ducking anyone, hell Overeem himself has said that he doesnt believe Fedor ducks anyone, as have other top HW fighters. They ALL believe his management is corrupt (which I even believe to a degree... I think they're just grubby money whores, trying hard to protect their cash cow), and that they alone are what stands between themselves and a fight with Fedor.
A couple years ago, I would have EASILY said Fedor was the best HW fighter in the world, but I never doubted he could lose one day. Now, given the rise of guys like Werdum(Best HW BJJ/Grappler in MMA), Shane Carwin (heaviest hitter, he could beat anyone in 10 fights. He might lose 9, but I assure you he'll win 1 of 10), Brock Lesnar (dude is just an animal that has a chance against anyone because of his size), Cain (he's the best "hybrid" between Skill and Physical ability), and JDS (Amazing HW striker) there is a talent pool at the top of the HW division that honestly ANY of these guys COULD lose to each other.
Fedor is still easily a top 5 HW, where exactly in the mix its hard to say, but so many guys HAVENT fought each other and even the guys that HAVE fought, havent necessarily done so convincingly enough that you can be assured of the same result in a rematch.
Fedor is still one of the best in the world, but he shouldnt be seen as totally invincible or unbeatable... and he doesnt like being seen that way, because even he knows he can be beat.

New photos of Marilyn Monroe up for sale
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Photographs of Marilyn Monroe appearing relaxed and lounging around a New York apartment nine months before she died were unveiled on Friday after being held in a private archive for more than 45 years.
Photographer Len Steckler shot the black-and-white images of Monroe when she unexpectedly arrived at his apartment in December, 1961, to visit his friend, Pulitzer-prize winning poet Carl Sandburg. Steckler is offering them for a sale as a limited edition series called "Marilyn Monroe: The Visit."
The pictures to be sold -- four single images and two triptychs, or pictures in three parts -- show Monroe wearing pointed, thick-rimmed sunglasses and a short sleeve dress while talking and laughing with Sandburg. Also offered will be 250 prints of each piece.
"It was serendipitous with these two icons in their moment and me there with my camera," Steckler told Reuters, saying he was "like a fly on the wall" while he shot Monroe, then 35, and Sandburg, 83, while they chatted and held hands.
Steckler, a former commercial fashion and beauty photographer who is now "about 80" and lives in Los Angeles, said on the afternoon Monroe visited, Sandburg had mentioned in a casual manner that they would soon have "a visitor."
"Hours later I went to open the door and there I was face to face with Marilyn Monroe, and she looked more ravishing than on the screen," he said. "She said 'I am sorry I am late. I was at the hairdressers, matching my hair to Carl's.'"
Monroe's hair does indeed appear like Sandburg's in the pictures, almost white, said Steckler, and he added that after he took the photos, they all drank Jack Daniels whiskey.
"As we know, Marilyn loved older men, she loved the intellectuals -- and Carl was very parental with her," said Steckler. "It was a lovely thing to see." Continued...

This song is about the love Candy has for her native city, London, in the U.K.
When Candy started doing gigs around London, she would often perform her Patrick Stump song. She noticed she had a few fans in the crown that would attend all her gigs. So when they asked, when will you write a song for us, she was inspired to write London. And she dedicated this one to all fellow Londoners.
PLEASE NOTE THE BRITISH ANTHEM was not written by Candy Rose
London written by Candy Rose
A Foreigner you took me in and made me welcome
So many Races in faces I feel I belong
I've come a long way just to call you my home
London my number one city
Night light on Tower Bridge and Big Ben
I rode the London felt like I could touch the sky
You've shown me Love, shown me hate, just facts of life
London my number one city
London my number one city
On this life you went and took pity
Making all my dreams reality
London my number one city (x2)
Trafalgar Square to Leicester Square, that's how I roll
You got a problem, take it up with City Hall
Anything you want you can just make a call
London my number one city
At every corner, Culture and history
Great Landmarks standing in glory
This part I walk, Talk I talk is my story
London my number city
You're my number one city,
London my number one City
So all my Londoners unite
Put your differences aside
For we all love this great City
When hit with tragedy
Or faced with adversity
we're all part of this city
London! This one's for you London!
And I thank you London! This one's for you London! My number one city

Black Color without Roast Flavor
- Formulate your recipe as usual - However, use only Carafa Special as a color malt (make sure you buy the Special, regular Carafa has a much stronger roast character)
- Grind the Carafa Special very finely using a coffee grinder (milled grain doesn't impart as much color)
- Mash and recirculate as you would normally.
- Sprinkel the finely ground carafa on top of the grain bed and sparge as you would normally

While interesting, I'm still not sure what the interest is in a black colored IPA, if there is supposed to be as little flavor contribution as possible. I very much do get the whole, "lets see if we can do it" factor, but I suppose I'm a bit of a purist, knowing that I'd like my beer color to represent the resulting flavors.
not meant to be a dig, just a personal supposition.
and I'm sure there are otherwise some great applications with some version of what you've described here for limiting acridity of the higher roasted grains.
cheers, JCTetreault

Honestly Ive never made a Black IPA myself, Ive only used this technique on Schwarzbiers
Something like a schwarz isnt supposed to have a lot of roast flavors yet be jet black, so the color isnt necessarily representative of the flavor, and it is a traditional beer style
theres always gonna be people trying this or that, and trying something really dark without much roast character might be a gateway for the BMC crowd into trying other really good beers that they have always been afraid of.....
- November 22, 2010 at 7:51 PM
- James said...
Great post. I'm interested in trying this method for making a black saison. Except, I would like to use half of the Carafa special in the mash and the other half for "capping" the mash as you describe here.
One question. Do you think that adding highly roasted malt directly to the sparge could result in increased astringecy or tannin extraction due to the lower sparge pH on top of the acidifying properties of the dark malt?
- April 23, 2011 at 7:45 AM
- Ryan said...
James - Id be interested to hear how a saison like that would turn out, although using some in the mash would inevitably make it a tad more roasty
About the pH issue, honesty I hadnt really thought about that, but I havent noticed the pH during sparging being an issue for me either, if anything due to my very hard water it will tend to rise during the sparge rather than lower, but even then I havent had much of a problem, some of these brewing problems I wonder if while they make an impact on large scale (brewpubs) they really dont play a part for a 5gal batch or so...
You dont happen to have a pH meter do you? It would be interesting to see a graph of the pH runnings during sparging with a cap or roasted malt. If you dont Ill give it a shot on the next beer I do like this
anyhow, you have a nice looking blog! I'll definitely be poking around it now from time to time
- April 23, 2011 at 10:21 AM
- James said...
Yes, I have a pH meter. I'll take readings during the mash & sparge when I brew the dark saison and share the results with you. I batch sparge.
I may or may not put a portion of the dehusked carafa III in the main mash for the saison. You're right, it might create more roastiness than I'd like. I'm really just looking to get it pitch black with a little hint of chocolately flavor.
- April 23, 2011 at 2:24 PM
- James said...
Thinking more about it, the pH is probably less of an issue since I batch sparge. But, I'm going to check it anyway.
I have one more question though. In your experience, is the color contribution of the carafa in the sparge roughly equivalent to the amount of color you would get from adding the carafa to the main mash?
For example, BeerSmith says I need 12oz of carafa special III in the mash to hit 32 SRM. Does adding that 12oz in the sparge contribute the same amount of color as if it had been added in the whole mash?
- April 23, 2011 at 3:13 PM
- Ryan said...
Yes, the color is the same and is possibly more if you grind it to a flour like I do
32srm is pretty dark, I think you could shoot for around 25-26 and it would be plenty dark, that would also let you cut back on the roast a bit, 12oz of carafa will be pretty roasty
- April 23, 2011 at 3:53 PM

- April 23, 2011 at 3:56 PM
- James said...
Yesterday I brewed a dark Belgian using this technique. I decided against the saison yeast and used 3787 instead. I used 6.4 oz of Carafa III Special added at mashout. Mash pH was 5.32 with no carafa. The pH of the batch sparge with the carafa stirred in was 5.18. So, the carafa did indeed drop the sparge pH.
The technique worked. The sparge wort darkened the beer A LOT. I tasted a sample and while there may have been a subtle chocolatiness there was no roastiness.
Eventually I'll get a post up on my blog with pictures about the brewing of the beer. I'll let you know when that happens.
- May 1, 2011 at 5:33 PM
- Ryan said...
Im glad it worked out flavor-wise for you
I dunno your science background, but Im always very very skeptical of pH meters that report to the hundredth of a pH, even taking out to a tenth of a pH is sketchy for me on most meters, that said 0.1pH drop, if is real, shouldn't affect most peoples sparging, but its something we should watch none the less
I cant wait to hear how your final beer turns out, keep me updated!
- May 1, 2011 at 6:34 PM
- James said...
I finally put up a blog post about my carafea III capped mash beer. It was for the Iron Brewer competition. I didn't win, but the beer turned out great. Here's a link: http://ahomebrewlog.blogspot.com/2011/06/black-lodge.html?m=1
- June 26, 2011 at 5:23 PM
- Ryan said...
James, the beer looks great! I didnt notice it in your tasting notes, how do you think the dark grain cap worked in your beer?
- June 29, 2011 at 8:13 AM
- James said...
The the flavor contribution of the carafa special cap was extremely minimal. If it added anything besides color I would say perhaps just the slightest touch of dark chocolate and I may only think that because I am looking for it. No roast or astringency.

I visited Europe last year for the first time and was pretty surprised.
Landing in London I noticed that all of the passport/immigration control personnel were of Indian/middle eastern descent. The train ride from Heathrow into the city was pretty eye opening. I had thought that going to England first would be easier since hey, we both speak English. Boy was I wrong. LOL I would expect any big cosmopolitan city to be diverse, but it was more than I expected.
Paris and Munich were the same way too. Munich was the only place I felt uncomfortable at any point though, beyond just that feeling of being a tourist lost in a foreign country.
