The Life of Ryan
The good news is, Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney woke up his base by picking Congressman Paul Ryan as a running mate. The bad news is, he may have also managed to wake up President Barack Obama's base as well.
ABOVE PHOTO: Paul Ryan.
(AP photo)
By Denise Clay
Even Stevie Wonder could see just how rough Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has had it from the primary season up to this point.
From getting beaten up by his fellow Republican Presidential candidates in a series of debates that have made it so President Barack Obama didn't have to bring in any interns for opposition research duty this summer to the mistrust that Tea Party Republicans have of him to his nearly creating an international incident prior to the London Olympics, Romney had had a tough time of it so far.
So because his base wasn't shaking enough hands on his behalf because they're all holding their noses (I've had more than one Republican say to me, 'Is it too late to find anyone else?!') Romney had to find someone who would make his base more receptive to him.
Enter Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan.
Romney made Rep. Ryan his running mate on Saturday...or was it Friday night...there was a bit of premature app-ulation from Romney's VP notification app...
And the Tea Party rejoiced.
Now for those of you who are like "Who's Paul Ryan?" here's a few facts. He's the scion of the founder of a construction company in Wisconsin that made it's money the old fashioned way...building roads and collecting federal money in the process.
He went to college at Miami University of Ohio, with the help of the survivor's benefits that you used to be able to get and use for college from Social Security...something you can't do anymore.
And he's a believer in the philosophy of Ayn Rand, who referred to those in need of help as "parasites" to those who, I guess, have more than enough to live on...something that made the fact that the author of "The Fountainhead" wound up collecting Social Security until her death kind of ironic. Who was the parasite then?
But here's some more important stuff that you need to know about the man who would be our Vice President...
Rep. Paul Ryan created a budget that most Republicans support, but wouldn't be caught dead with. Why? Because when you advocate a budget that would turn Medicaid into a private insurance voucher program, would raise the retirement age and prevent people from collecting the Social Security that they've been paying into their entire working lives, you're asking for a butt-kicking from the AARP.
But while the elderly would catch hell in the Ryan Budget, the kids aren't doing so well either. Need help going to college? If this piece of legislative artistry became law, you're gonna have to take out a loan...from a bank...at their interest...In other words, back to the bad old days when a bank could cut off your student loan just because it felt like it.
And don't even talk about Pell Grants, or other forms of financial aid. They're gone too.
In fact, 62 percent of the cuts in the so-called Ryan Budget are to programs aimed at helping the poor, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Meanwhile, the money saved from all that cutting, which really isn't much because it doesn't touch the elephant in the room known as the defense budget, would go right into the pockets of folks who really don't need anymore money in the form of tax cuts.
(The reason why those folks don't need anymore money is because their taxes have been cut so far back that in some cases they're not paying any...)
I mean, hey. It gets those "parasites" out of your bloodstream, right? Ayn Rand would be proud...as she sat in her house drinking the coffee she paid for with her Social Security check...
Now don't get me wrong. I understand the corner that Mitt Romney was painted into. No amount of money was going to make Republicans work for him enthusiastically. He had no choice but to pick a running mate so far to the right that left turns were impossible. I mean, the Tea Party still remembers when he was a moderate...or when he had a position at all...
But he should have talked to the last guy to run for President as a Republican before he made this move because while it's managed to motivate the hard-right Republican base, it's also managed to wake up a base that wasn't really feeling President Barack Obama...
Kinda like Sarah Palin what did when Sen. John McCain decided to make her his running mate.
While I'm pretty sure that Rep. Ryan will never try and tell us that he can see Russia from his house, especially since it's in Wisconsin, he provides Vice President Joe Biden with a pretty large target to hit. The prospect of the Ryan Budget alone is probably enough for him to hit him with.
And it's also being used as a fundraising tool. If I get one more news release from NOW, the Democratic Party, the Obama Campaign, or any of the other entities that I keep telling "I'm a reporter, stop asking me for money!" because of this guy, I'm gonna scream!
When you look at the polls, and by the polls I mean those polls that haven't been invented by my right-wing friends on Facebook, you see that adding a member of Congress, particularly this member of Congress, didn't do much to help Mitt Romney.
But it does explain one thing for me.

I've highlighted the bok choy version of this dish because it's so pretty, but this same recipe made with cabbage and leeks is just as delicious and worthy of equal attention. Christopher and I absolutely lived off cabbage and leeks for years. I beg you to try both versions. There's something about the combination of the flaxseed oil, the sour of the vinegar, the freshness of the green and the seeds... Oh my God.
1 to 2 small heads bok choy (left intact) or 1/2 large head bok choy (chopped into bite-size pieces)
1 tablespoon umeboshi vinegar
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Gomashio
1. Bring water to a boil in the bottom of a steamer or a pot fitted with a steamer basket.
2. Add the bok choy and steam for 1 to 2 minutes until the vegetable is just starting to wilt.
3. Transfer to a serving platter.
4. Mix the vinegar and oil together in a small bowl, and drizzle over the steamed bok choy. (You may not need it all.)
5. Serve sprinkled with the gomashio.
You can serve lightly steamed leeks and cabbage the same way. Be sure to steam the leek and cabbage separately, as it's nice to keep their flavors pristine and their cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the vegetables. Top with toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds seasoned with a few drops of shoyu.
People tend to throw greens in a steamer and just walk away, so it's alarmingly easy to overcook bok choy. I recommend you always err on the side of undercooking it, since it's so water-dense that it continues to cook a little after being removed from the steam. What you're aiming for is crunchiness without bitterness.
After you get familiar with this recipe, you may decide you want to use less vinegar. Find the oil to vinegar ratio that works best for you.

The meeting was announced and the agenda posted at city hall on Friday.
Sewer rates will be increasing for each single-family residence by 9 percent, from $665 to $725. Business sewage costs are going up by the same percentage.
Usage fees for renting the community center, ball fields and rodeo grounds is increasing by $50 across the board. Pool fees are down slightly this year.

The Prius has been a great success for Toyota, especially in Japan, but the carmaker is feeling pressure to stay on top as competitors release all-electrics (namely the Nissan LEAF). Trying to keep its share of the hybrid and electric market, Toyota has announced that they will be producing six new hybrid models by the end of 2012. Two will be under the Lexus brand and the other four will be Toyota models.
The six new hybrids will all be first-generation models, not next-generation versions of existing hybrid models. Some models will also have a gasoline-engine counterpart.
In addition to the six hybrid models, Toyota is revealing an all-electric RAV4 at the L.A. Auto Show this November through its partnership with Tesla. Toyota is also working on releasing two other iterations of the Prius in the next two years - a plug-in version and a minivan.

Is Voter Fraud a Real Problem? >
ID Rules Prevent Fraudulent Vote Schemes in Key Districts
Voter fraud schemes can swing elections, and voter identification is a common-sense answer
June 13, 2012
Liberal activists insist that voter fraud is a sham problem drummed up by conservative activists whose real intent—through voter identification bills and other anti-fraud measures—is to suppress voting by poor and minority voters who tend to vote Democratic. Yet their case is built on besides-the-point statistics and a large dose of hysteria.
Are we really supposed to believe that modest efforts to require identification at the polls are the equivalent of segregation-era poll guards designed to scare off minority voters?
The Brennan Center for Justice argued in a 2006 policy paper that voter fraud is "essentially irrational"—few voters are willing to risk large fines to cast an improper vote. The center finds that only an infinitesimal portion of votes cast are fraudulent.
[See the GOP's top Senate targets for 2012.]
Individuals no doubt rarely cast fraudulent votes. But as someone who grew up in Philadelphia, a city run by a political machine, it's clear that voter fraud isn't mainly an issue of individuals casting fraudulent votes but of highly rational political actors using their power to steal elections. Spread out across all elections, it is a small problem, on average—but it is a potentially huge problem in specific locales, where fraudulent vote schemes can swing elections. Voter ID laws are one way to begin battling that problem.
How critics of the anti-voter-fraud effort routinely ignore that reality is bewildering to me, except that they seem intent on downplaying the problem because voter fraud mainly benefits the politicians they support.
Public opinion polls show widespread public belief that fraud is a problem, so common-sense rules that require people to show an identification card at the polling place will also enhance voter faith in the electoral system. But the real question is what to do about the bigger, more orchestrated vote schemes that benefit from loosened voting standards.
[Wisconsin Voters Head to the Polls]
"Coercion and chicanery are made much easier by the excessive use of absentee ballots. Most of the elections thrown out by courts—Miami, Florida's mayoral election in 1998, the East Chicago, Indiana's mayor's race in 2005—involved fraudulent absentee votes," wrote Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund. He notes that efforts to create same-day registration only make it easier for political hacks to game the system.
The real disappointment is that simple efforts to bolster the veracity of the election system have been caught up in partisan politics, which doesn't bode well for the future of that system.

I switched from celesta to cymbalta but had strange side effects from the 60 mg dose. I was dizzy, had trouble focusing my eyes, and had a weird hallucination while driving. My chest hurt from acid indigestion and I had a sour stomach. I then went to a 30 mg dose with Wellbutrin and had none of the major side effects.

I do not feel like this is helping that much with my continued depression. My dosage has been increased to 60 mg in am and 30 mg in the pm, but I still find myself weepy and not happy with myself. The increase has only been for about 6 weeks. I am hoping emotions will improve.

Ha, ha.
With a minute to post here, I was tempted to get into the weeds and set a few legal facts straight. But with so much HEAT and so little LIGHT in the last dozen or so posts in this thread, I decided to go a different direction...
That may be a joke that Boomers tell each other to assuage their guilt for how poorly they treated their children, but it doesn't even slightly resemble reality. The fact is that Xers are quite doting parents who put an enormous amount of energy and care into their children.
Just for instance, I was out at the little league football games a few weeks ago watching my nephews. The parking lots were full. They played in a stadium in nice uniforms. The bleachers were full. Each team had many clean cut coaches, one coach per every 3 or 4 boys (the coaches were all fathers). And the day's games were TELEVISED on local govt access a couple of days later.
Compare that to when I played. Have you ever seen the movie the "Bad News Bears"? We played on marginal fields, uniforms handed down at least 10 years. One coach per team, that's one per 20 boys vs. one per 3 or 4 now. Hardly any parents at the games; in fact there were probably as many Xer father/coaches at my nephews' games as there were Boomer father spectators at my games. The Boomers were out "doing their own thing" or whatever they called it. "Their own thing" usually boiled down to Boomers out neglecting their kids while trying to get cheap thrills, many times trying to "make" each others husbands and wives or smoke pot or some such thing.

"We're trying to raise the bar in Utah," he said to an audience of second graders, school officials and the media. "It's a great program we're introducing today to help you and many people around the state."
The program, known as Prosperity 2020 Business Promise, seeks to involve 20,200 volunteers in schools by the year 2020.
It is being established in support of the Prosperity 2020 goal that calls for two-thirds of Utah's adults to have a postsecondary degree or a professional certificate by the year 2020. The new initiative sets up a web portal to connect businesses with schools so they can determine needs and provide help.
"Businesses are the end user of the labor force," said Herbert after making the formal announcement. "They hire people, and it is those who have the skills that get hired. It's important that we have a plan."
Herbert said Utah's unique challenges include large families and a significant amount of public land that doesn't generate money for the state.
The business initiative would provide help to students at no extra expense to the state.

speed loader is the cylinder
While we are designing it, make it use shorter ACP rounds so the cylinder and over all dimensions can be shorter.
And make it so the cylinder can just be dropped out and another loaded on dropped in. |

This idea crops up from time to time, and the whole thing boils down to "I want one, so they ought to make it and I don't want to hear any arguments!"
Two things are against it, one being the latch. There is always a gap (there has to be so the gun can be opened) and every time the gun is fired the latch tries to pull apart and batters itself. Titanium alloys are tough, but won't take that kind of thing any better than most steels. Then there is the problem with cartridge length. Look at the old break tops and examine the way they work and it is evident that ejection will be a problem with long cartridges. Of course, I already know the response - "I want one, so they ought to make it and I don't want to hear any arguments!" Jim

Since top break double rifles have sucessfully handled cartridges at the upper limit of sane chamber pressures, its at least feasible for a top break revolver of sturdy enough construction to handle magnum level pistol cartridges.
Such a revolver would be massive. |

Is Ti stronger than steel per in^3? I know it is by weight, but my understanding was steel is considerably stronger by volume, at least when heat treated.
The item is really just novelty. No one is going to carry it. As such they should do what they do with almost every novelty gun design. Make it in 22lr.

Titanium is not magic. Its claim to fame is its light weight, not it's strength. For it is no stronger than steel but is more difficult to machine. It would be easier to produce one from 17-4 stainless steel and be stronger to boot. The problem is the amount of hand-fitting necessary to make it work for the long term. The market is simply too small for a $2000 hand-built break-top that can't operate much above ~20,000psi.

The top break latch is often cited as the weak point in the design. The latch could be redesigned.

I think the design would be perfect for the semi rimmed autopistol cartridges- .25, .32, and .38 ACP.
The .38 Special and longer cartridges would be problematic with ejection. Titanium is not necessary. |

Break-open actions using tensioned latches do not have this problem when designed properly. An African game cannon has enormous bolt thurst, yet a good one will last many shots. This is because tension in the mating surfaces prevents a gap from opening that can lead to wear or battering. A latch/lock does not have to have a gap to open/close, just a spring. Improving upon the old trunk-latch style frames would not be difficult, but it would be expensive. Unlike a modern DA/SA, a designer doesn't have 100+ years of production tricks to keep costs low and the product consistent. But the concept is far from impossible. The trick is designing the locking surfaces to remain compressed together harder than the forces shaking them apart. Heck, my half-baked auto-revolver design can theoretically handle 90kpsi proof loads because I centered the latch pivot over the barrel (like every break open rifle/shotgun). The loads holding the action closed are so low that the cylinder axle can be used as the latch member, like an old Colt SA. Maybe I'll finally be able to get a proof-of-concept-model made by hooking up with these guys--or just panhandling over at Kickstart.com TCB

I am a 357 magnum fan so I would buy one of these if they where priced about like any name name brand revolver of the same quality.
I like different guns
Shot placement is everything! I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull. all 23 of my guns are 45/70 govt 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple |

I f it was a nice quality gun I would not have any issue laying down more than $1000.00 That said I would not lay down that money for a "cool gun" that does not work.

Gun makers seem to be rediscovering the civilian market as a segment large enough to warrant R&D. They probably thought of it and then said, oh no, DOD won't buy that.

I would think a modern top break that is cut for moon clips
both front and rear sights on the top (so the accuracy would not suffer from loose tolerance) Double action like the lightning and thunder but more robust action parts Jerry Miculek could make that sucker rock

Taylor's & Co make several Schofield reproductions in .38 Spec, .44-40 and .45 LC. There should be something there that appeals to fans of the top-break action. They're not cheap but from what I've heard they are of decent quality.

For the health of your land, the lightness of your spirits, or on a plate, meat goats are great. Happily converting unwanted forage such as thistles, weeds and brush to a delicious, healthy meat, they are fun and simple to raise. Sustenance and safety are what the goats need to thrive. The demand for goat meat, called chevon or cabrito, exceeds supply and continues to grow.
Speaker Bio
Having opted out of a rewarding corporate career, Yvonne Zweede-Tucker has learned how to raise meat goats successfully "on the job" in Montana. Together with her husband, Craig, who also teaches high school mathematics, she has determined how to achieve their business and lifestyle objectives. Zweede-Tucker wrote The Meat Goat Handbook to show the range of possibilities there are in raising meat goats as well as the types and breeds of goats one can utilize, and the book explains and illustrates how to set, plan for and achieve your own objectives with meat goats.

1. Cut a strip of aluminum, tin, roof flashing or thin copper into strips about ½ in. high x 2½ in. long. (Be sure to wear gloves and goggles for safety.)
2. Using snips or sharp scissors, cut "fringe" along the length of the metal strip.
3. Take a sturdy wire cut to about 6 in. long and bend the tip into a U shape.
4. Hook the wire at one end of the strip and cinch the wire down in the gap between the last two fringes so that the length of the wire extends below the base of the fringe.
5. Using your fingers, wrap the strip of metal tightly in a circle.
6. Peel the cut pieces down as pictured.
7. Use needle-nose pliers to curl the petals if desired.

Little micro strobe batch!
Posted 24 June 2013 - 10:59 AM
Posted 24 June 2013 - 01:09 PM
Thanks for sharing the pics, Pete!
What is the benefit of Hedvig's design vs the simple MOSFET version?
(Is there a circuit published somewhere? single LED would be fine for me...)
Only thing I can think of if the LED may not shut off in time and force the
strobes to keep firing...
First I'll try replicating rtrski's design with an IR LED and some beefier batteries.
Sorry for the delay in replying - been away for a few days.
The example of Hedwig's unit that I have seen was nice - much more sophisticated than the MOSFET version. I did make it work by firing the LED directly into the fibre optic bulkhead connector, but did not fit it to the camera as it mounts on the hot shoe....and mine is already used by the camera pressure lead detector.
The MOSFET circuit I am using has 2 x 12V LR23 batteries in parallel, with the 4 high power LEDs mounted in series. Hedwig uses 2 CR button cells of 3V each, and his LEDs appear to be in parallel.
Herewith pictures of my version. One shows the batteries and circuitry mounted under the camera tray, the other shows the hot shoe connector with the wiring break for the flash, and you can see the 4 LEDs mounted on a board directly under the bulkhead connector. Units are connected with computer plugs. Wiring is rather untidy - I will make another one when I have a minute and tidy things up.
Ah, the photos failed. I will try again.
Edited by tamas970, 24 June 2013 - 01:13 PM.
Posted 24 June 2013 - 02:03 PM
You probably ought to ask Hedwig about the features of his design. As far as I can see, the flash comes when the switch (ie camera hot shoe) is broken rather than when it is made, but this happens so quickly there is no problem. The LEDs are also mounted in terminal blocks and are in parallel, so you can use more (or less) and adapt them easily.
The circuit I have used is the same as rtrski's instructions, though I didn't get it from him. I've just used veroboard, rather than try to etch a circuit board. It also just produces a single short pulse as the hot shoe circuit is made, so there is no problem with making the strobes continue firing.

How much banding do you get at 1/320 and 1/400?
Posted 25 June 2013 - 09:27 AM
The D90 will only sync up to 1/200 with a non-Nikon flash, though it will sync at faster speeds with a proper Nik flash. Can't afford one of them....in an underwater housing as well!
At 1/400th, the shutter is covering perhaps 10% at the bottom of the image. 1/320th, it will be less but still visible at 1/250th.
Posted 25 June 2013 - 11:54 PM
My E-PL5 is similar or somewhat better. Stock fastest sync is 1/250 and using a non-communicating flash 1/320 is clear, 1/400 gives <10% loss with my inons, which is not necessarily a concern underwater. (I might even risk 1/500 with 40% loss in certain scenarios)
What kind of LEDs are you using? I am planning to order a couple white ones just in case the infared wouldn't work.
Posted 26 August 2013 - 05:52 AM

Being a SAG member has lots of benefits such as this one. For more local deals and discounts please visit the Hollywood Local Member Benefits Page.
Come out and see future NFL stars in action at the NFLPA AstroTurf Collegiate Bowl on January 21 at the Home Depot Center. This game, sponsored by the National Football League Players Association, will feature some of the best college all-stars in the country.
With all the news of hacking and identity theft, the online world can be a scary place. To arm members with the knowledge they need to protect themselves, the SAG Hollywood Division held a special presentation titled Protecting Yourself in a Cyber World on December 7, 2011 at SAG headquarters in Hollywood.
It was another successful year for the Hollywood Holiday Host Committee's Annual Winter Celebration. More than 650 members turned out to celebrate the season with their fellow actors on December 14 at Screen Actors Guild headquarters in Los Angeles. Ned Vaughn, SAG's 1st national vice president, spoke to the assembled crowd and offered well-wishes for the holidays. In this eighth year of the event, members once again demonstrated their generosity, as donation boxes overflowed with food for AIDS Project Los Angeles and toys for The Village Family Services.
As many as 2,000 SAG members and producers tuned in concurrently via a live online stream on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, to learn details of the new SAG Production Center, which allows producers to download forms and rate sheets, and in many instances sign online, saving substantial time and avoiding the headaches of the paper-based manual approach. You can see the complete live stream below.
Using the power of laughter to turn holiday loneliness to joy, the club is transformed into a wonderland where people from all walks of life are welcome to come and enjoy turkey, stuffing, and the trimmings. Top comedians will greet and serve guests, as well as perform live shows following each of four meal servings throughout the day.
Where: Laugh Factory

1 000 000 000 000 Frames A Second
This is incredible. Watching the duality of light in super duper slow motion! Awesome! Science rules!
In 1964 MIT professor Harold Edgerton, pioneer of stop-action photography, famously took a photo of a bullet piercing an apple using exposures as short as a few nanoseconds. Inspired by his work, Ramesh Raskar and his team set out to create a camera that could capture not just a bullet (traveling at 850 meters per second) but light itself (nearly 300 million meters per second).
Stop a moment to take that in: photographing light as it moves. For that, they built a camera and software that can visualize pictures as if they are recorded at 1 trillion frames per second. The same photon-imaging technology can also be used to create a camera that can peer "around" corners , by exploiting specific properties of the photons when they bounce off surfaces and objects.
Among the other projects that Raskar is leading, with the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture research group, are low-cost eye care devices, a next generation CAT-Scan machine and human-computer interaction systems.

Dons boss Ardley marks anniversary with Stanley stalemate
6:00am Monday 14th October 2013 in Sport
Close: Dons skipper Alan Bennett looks on as his side go close at the weekend, but the defender would have the last laugh
Neal Ardley celebrated a year in charge of AFC Wimbledon last week, and admited his first 12 months as a manager had been one hell of a ride.
Skipper Alan Bennett's 86th minute strike ensured the 41-year-old did not mark his anniversary with a defeat as the Dons fought back to secure a 1-1 draw with Accrington Stanley at home on Saturday.
Ardley dramatically kept the Dons in the Football League in May, almost led them to victory against their fiercest rivals from Milton Keynes, and has almost completely revolutionised the Dons playing staff.
A good start to this season, which saw Wimbledon in the automatic promotion places, has tailed off with back-to-back defeats, but the Kingsmeadow chief is happy with the job he has done in difficult circumstances.
"I was brought in to do a job and we did it and I am very proud of that – staying up was a huge achievement with what was there," he said.
"I'm proud of what we have achieved in a year and I would like to think the board think the club is going in a good direction.
"There is a lot that has happened behind the scenes too which you don't expect people to know and it will hopefully come out in the way the club moves forward.
"Last season did drag a bit as it was a tough season.
"The first three months were difficult, simply because we had 10 players injured and a group that were not fit physically. We had a run of Saturday, Tuesday games and we had used up all our emergency loans so we couldn't tap into that market.
"It was a case of getting to January so we could build up then, and I think since January we are something like eighth in the league on form.
"But the adversity we faced in that run in last season, when we weren't winning games, has stood me in good stead and I have learned a lot – though I am not going to stop learning for 20 years if I stay in the game that long."
Ardley had a 34 per cent winning percentage from his 50 games in charge prior to yesterday's stalemate that came a week after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Northampton Town that had ended Wimbledon's 100 per cent home record.
Only seven players remain from the Terry Brown era – Luke Moore and Sammy Moore the only ones to start against the Cobblers last week – and Ardley is pleased to have his own squad now to shape the way he wants going forward.
"It's my team now. Up until January I could hide behind what I took over, now I can't and won't try to," he said.
"We have a different task on our hands now with the expectations and we have to make sure we deliver a different style of football and be pleasing on the eye in the way we play."

NY State Police plan to recruit 330 new troopers
Posted at: 01/23/2013 6:48 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Budget documents show the New York State Police planning to train 330 more recruits in the coming year.
After attrition, they would increase the total of sworn officers to 4,657, up five-percent from the current fiscal year but still down more than 200 from the peak. State budget constraints temporarily halted recruiting more than three years ago.
The State Police held two classes this year with 340 recruits, graduating 133 in October. That was the first class since 2009.
The Cuomo administration is proposing a $732 million budget for state police for the year starting April 1.
That includes $36 million to implement tighter gun restrictions, including a new database, periodic pistol re-licensing and registration of semi-automatic rifles now categorized as assault weapons.

I know you are supposed to give between 10 and 20% of your income to צדקה. Does this mean that you are not allowed to give over 20% if you have enough money to do so? If so, why not? (this is more of a theoretical question for me)
Kesuvos 50a says that you should not give more than 20% in order not to become dependent on others. However Yoreh Deah 249 says that if you can afford it you may give more. The Igros Moshe Yoreh Deah 1, Siman 143 says that in actuality unless it is for Pikuach Nefesh not to give more than 20%. | |||||
R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi writes (in Iggeres Hateshuvah 3 and Iggeres Hakodesh 10) that the 20% limit applies only to a person who hasn't sinned, or who has done so but then fasted the prescribed number of fasts as atonement. For someone who is giving tzedakah to atone for his sins, though, there is no limit - just as a person will spend all he has in search of a cure for his bodily illnesses, so too with spiritual ones. | |||||
According to here: And from here: I strongly associate with the latter view. | |||||||||||||||||
Be a chassid and as much as you are able to give of your own to others. | |||||||||

When I was age 11, we were poor. School was a mile across a pasture. My younger brother, age 9, was in the hospital dying. Mom sat with him. Dad had to feed the cattle for the folks he worked for.
In our family were twins Leonard and LaVerna, age 3. We lived in the hired hand 4 room house. It was COLD and had snowed that night, and I set out to walk to school. I got about half way and my ears, feet and hands were getting numb. I was crying and found myself a snow drift that had one of those curved tops, probably six feet high. I snuggled up out of the wind for a few minutes, then I finished walking to school. I got there late, stumbled into the one room country schoolroom - half out of it. The whole class was disrupted from my entrance. The male teacher tended to me and revived me. I remember that day crystal clear.
After school a family came to pick up their kids and they took me home. That was the coldest I had or ever have been. This was in about 1932 or 1933.
My brother did die from pneumonia. It was an era when the Depression had just started. We had been share croppers in Trego County, Kansas (rural WaKeeney). We had hail, 11 inch rains, etc.
Dad had to take Bankruptcy. We moved to Mom's brother Fred Koleber's, who lived near Eaton, Colorado. After my brother Alfred died in 1933, we moved back to Barton County, Kansas. Fred Michaelis financed us to get re-established. His wife, Eva (Margheim) was my dad's oldest sister.
Shortly after that, 1935 the Dust storms rolled in. But we survived.

The Money Arbitrage Blueprint Means Money for You Fast and Easy
Drew Downs, also known as "The Rainmaker" has designed a new system for beating the real estate markets and make your competition perform work for you rather than you racing against them for deals. The name of this excellent new system is the Money Arbitrage Blueprint and Drew has been making use of it himself due to the fact the real estate market crashed some years ago. Necessity may be the mother of invention and Drew created this method to recoup his business when it tanked during the crisis. Drew Downs is actually a hardened and tested real estate investing professional and he is not embarrassed to reveal that he suffered along with everyone else when the crash happened. As opposed to a lot of other people, nonetheless he couldn't accept defeat or sit around depressed forever. Rather Drew came up with a different method to do real estate and he's by no means regretted it. Right now his small business is making money once again and it really is all due to The Money Arbitrage Blueprint. The great news is the fact that he's now willing to disclose the secrets that not just kept him on high ground though a lot of other people failed but continues to make him wealthy today. He is one of the biggest real estate business owners in the state of Florida and it's a rare treat to acquire the chance to discover the business from someone like him.
The Money Arbitrage Blueprint gives its buyers ways to generate income just like the banks make their capital. Paying low interest on funds that has been given to them and loaning it to other people at higher rates. You make the the difference between them and get wealthy from other people's capital. What might be better than that? I think you have to agree that a system which can demostrate to you tips on how to do that; how to be the bank, will be worth figuring out about. If the banks can get wealthy why should you not use the same strategies in a a great deal more ethical manner to get richness your self? And here's the component that makes you distinct from the bank. Instead of the circumstance becoming a win-lose in favor of the bank, it's a win-win for everybody. You will be capable to support others close their deals with out having to struggle so desparately to generate income and you will assist folks with dollars they wish to invest in real estate locate the very best real estae deals tofund. Everyone makes cash and every person is pleased. In the real estate market that is certainly the ideal outcome possible.
Drew Downs has been a real estate investor in Florida for 9 years so he has noticed numerous ideas come and go. This indicates he knows a good notion when he sees it. The Money Arbitrage Blueprint is his brainchild and also the method that he utilizes himself. The reality that he is able to share it with others is large and even much better, he's offering it to men and women at an extremely reasonable value. You cannot beat that and it's worth checking out at the least. You have absolutely nothing to shed and every little thing to acquire.

New Jersey
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Purchased a bottle of this at Craft Beer Cellar when I visited Boston. The color of it is in the vein of raw umber, with a bubbly, pure white head that stays nicely. Very hazy due to the natural carbonation from the re-fermented yeast in the bottle.
The aroma is very alluring, reminding one of biscuity, sweet bread, pepper, rosemary and other herbs, apple cider vinegar, pear and light fruits, white wine, and Belgian yeast.
The flavor is quite complex and tasty. I tried this at several temperatures and I do prefer it quite a bit above room temperature. Initially, I perceive the classic Saison flavors of fruit esters and yeast, however, there's a pronounced citrus/lemon aspect presumably from the Hallertau hops mentioned on the bottle. The effects of the aging process in French oak Sauvignon Blanc barrels kick in during the sharp finish, which comes across as strong and vinous, with wine grapes and some woody-ness.
Overall, medium bodied, complex and sharp would be an accurate way to describe this. It paired well with the Trout dish I had for dinner this evening. I'm not sure why some reviewers are putting this selection down so much, I think it is quite enjoyable and worthy of your purchase if you like complexity and experimentation which is so prevalent in today's craft beer.

look: 4.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.25
Makes for a beautiful pour with a bright orange body and a nice white fluffy head on top. Sticky and lacy as well.
Fruity and yeasty on the nose with a faint lemon note and some pepper and clove spice notes. A little more subtle than some saisons but definitely showing some complexity to it.
A fruity tartness starts things off. Yeasty spice notes mix in as well making for a well balanced beer. Finishes with a bit of an earthy and musty character.
Bubbly and crisp on the mouthfeel. Overall, a pretty solid saison. Nothing really sticks out but all the flavors blend together so well it makes for a nice sipper on a beautiful summer afternoon.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Tasted On: 04-30-2013
Freshness: Batch 008
Packaging: 750ml brown bottle, corked and caged with gold foil
Glassware: Tulip
Purchased: Received in a trade
Pours with a huge white head on a beer that is clear, bright and golden in color. The last pour from the bottle shows some cloudy yeast sediment from the bottle conditioning. Head retention is very good but there seems to be no Belgian lace as I'd expect.
The smells are fruity at first, with grape notes. I then get aromas of Belgian yeast spiciness, with some mustiness. Finally there is also the aroma of grassy hops.
The taste is especially dry with some amount of tartness, as well as spicy with a hint of white pepper. I'm not a wine guy, but this tastes a lot like I'd describe as a dry, white wine flavor.
The mouthfeel has a very high carbonation level on a medium body. The finish is much like the taste, with spiciness and a little sourness, wrapped up in a very dry package.
Overall a pretty good saison, although I think it lacked flavor complexity and seemed too dry for my liking.
Thanks to DrewShal9 for this one!

batch 005 picked up from julios last summer
the beer rockets the cork into the ceiling as soon as the cage comes off and pours a slightly hazy golden with a huge white head. the nose is very pungent, reminiscent of pear, lemon, and yeast. there is an adequate amount of sweetness in the taste, but it still finishes relatively dry. the mouthfeel is medium, effervescent, and aromatic. I enjoy the beer and would like to try the wine barreled versions in the future.

750ml bottle.
A) Pours with a big frothy head that sticks around. Golden orange in color. Some chill haze. Sticky lacing on the drink down.
S) Earthy. Musky. Yeasty.
T) Pleasant malty sweetness. Subtle spiciness. A well balanced flavor profile - not pungent or astringent.
M) Crisp. Medium light body. Dry.
O) A great saison. I'd definitely have another.

750 ml was poured into a large Duvel snifter.
Appearance: The beer poured a huge two finger puffy white head that has reduced to a puffy layer and left some clumpy lacing on the glass. It is a pale orage yellow color with some haziness and vision of bubbles coming up through the glass.
Smell: vanilla, spiciness, bready and sweet malts, apples, pears, golden raisins, some booze on the nose, and yeasty esters. Smells more like a tripel than a saison. Very strange.
Taste: everything mentioned above with some strange tartness to the beer. Almost makes me pucker up. Sour apples and spiciness are the most noticeable.
Mouthfeel: medium to high carbonation, tingly feeling in the mouth, a bit dry, still tingling, and medium bodied.
Overall: A mediocre saison at best. Being there first batch, there is still room to move up. I will revisit these guys again and again because of there upcoming styles and barrel usage.

Batch 001, poured from the bottle into a Chimay goblet.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy amber with a golden tint. There is a super thick off white two finger head that leaves a nice layer on top of the pour.
Smell: Just a bit sweet. It is reminding me of champagne. I'm getting some mild herbs and a fruity characteristic.
Taste: Light and slightly herbal, but less so than I would expect from the style. There is a noticeable alcohol presence and some fruity notes. Those facts combine to make me think of champagne here as well.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with way too much carbonation. The finish is quite dry.
Overall: Not my favorite saison. Too much alcohol and not delicate enough if you ask me. I think I would pass in the future.

Had on tap at the Driftwood Tavern Plymouth, MA
Appearance: one inch head, gold in color, clear, moderate carbonation
Smell: wheat and light flower
Taste: wheat, hay, light flower, slight lemon
Mouthfeel: high carbonation, light bodied, slightly bitter
Overall: An ok, slightly above average saison. Not a bad beer, but it really did not stick out too much in a style I really like. I would get this again if offered to me, but would not go out of my way for it.

Massive five-finger foamy white head. Brew is clouded yellow with some nice orange tint. Head lingers awhile and leave nice lacing.
Peach, lemon, and spice stand out in the scent. The white barrels are also quite prevalent.
Very light, but kinda spicy kick. Very nice without having over done sauvignon barrel. Nice oakyness. Dry, crisp, refreshing and heavy carbonation.
Very solid Saison! Thanks Andy for sharing this one, awesome extra! Highly recommended as an easy hot summer day drinker.

A - Golden amber with a hazy tornado spinning through the center vertical. Solid white head with good retention and decent lacing.
S - Aroma is sour and tart smelling. Pear, green apple, cranberry, pomegranate, citrus. I pick up no malt here, though.
T - Green apple, pear, citrus, hops. Malt is absent. Entirely. I can only taste it faintly after swallowing a sip and it's on the very cliffedge of my tastebuds. Also, an unappealing vinegar taste. Ehh.
M - I don't know whether this was old on the shelf or what but this mouthfeel isn't very appealing. Each sip totally comes apart and there is almost no carbonation.
D - A poor showing. Not impressed by any means. The aromas and tastes are sour and anti-fulfilling. For this brewery (and this is the first beer I've tried from them) to call this a saison is just sacrilege to the style. For them to call this a saison is nonsense. There is no saison here. Nothing even approaching it. They could change five things about this beer in an effort to make it a saison and it still wouldn't trigger. This is, frankly, a beer gone wrong.
This is the first beer I've had from Mystic and, though Im disappointed by their first offering, I'll try two more to be faithful to a democratic spirit. I have a couple friends who have attested to Mystic's talent (and they're people whose taste I have faith in) and I'll be indulging them again soon.

750ml bottle bought somewhere localish. Corked and caged, Batch 004.
Poured into a CCB pub glass, formed a 1 3/4" off-white head over the slightly cloudy golden copper brew. Meringuey head sno-cones above the rim, then collapses oh-so slowly, with sporadic chunky lacing. Aroma is sweet, effervescent, and lightly tart.
Taste starts with spicy sweetness, citrus tart in the middle, light prickly hops through the close, with pronounced lemon. Mouthfeel is smooth, and drinkability is nice. This one comes together great.

Very cloudy yellow pour with a giant bubbly off-white head. Fermented citrus, lemongrass, bananas, clove spice with hints of hay bales and earthy hops on the aroma; very hefeweizen-like. Heavily carbonated hit of sour fermented citrus fruits, bananas and white bread on the first sip. Thick yeast and bready malts compose most of the overall body with fermented citrus that lingers across the palate, into a sour, dry finish. Light to medium bodied with heavy carbonation. Not dramatically impressive, just about average in my opinion.

Thanks Thorpe, bottle served in a snifter.
Beer is brownish and hazy with a nice white head of small and medium bubbles, some lacing, moderate retention, some carbonation.
Aroma is odd, fusel, sweet, odd.
Beer is close to non-drinkable. I've heard a lot about our bottle of this, mislabeled, wrong batch, whatever the problem is this beer is not good, it is oddly bitter, has other alcohols not ethanol in it, lots of esters and aldehydes carrying through, phenolic and medicinal. Not a repeat. Fortunately the BA versions were vastly superior.

Bottle courtesy of Reagan1984. Served in a Mystic saison glass.
Pours a clear medium golden color with a nice white head and a good bit of lacing on the way down. Nice retention.
The nose carries some grainy pilsner malt plus a bit of oxidized malt. Light cardboard character and some fairly-heavy phenols. The flavor carries along the same lines and was a bit too much to handle. Harsh character with a bit of solvent. Hard to get through.
I hope this was a bad batch, as I really enjoyed the Sauv Blanc version of this, and the Cabernet version we had alongside this bottle was much better.

750 mL bottle shared by Thorpe.
Pours a clear light copper with a quickly fading fizzy white head with dots of lace. Head quickly fades to a thin collar. Grainy aroma, with some yeast and a nasty rubbing alcohol finish. Semi sweet, fruity body with an unbalanced grain finish. Slightly syrupy, low carbonation body with strong alcohol presence again. Not sure I would have blindly guessed this was a saison.

Thanks to mt4080 for this one!
Pours a hazy amber orange with a huge 3 finger head that sticks around and strong lacing.
Smell is bready yeast and banana & clove phenols, apple and pear, some light hay-like funk, honey, with some herbal and earthy hops.
Light citrus from pear & green apple gives way to bready yeast mixed with malt sweetness, although it lingers a bit too long. Clove and banana, spicy peppery notes, earthy/spicy hops are very nice and impart a bit of woodiness with some hay and funk/tart in the finish.
Thin-medium body with prickly carbonation, semi-dry long finish with a bit of tannins. Alcohol is almost nonexistant until the end of the glass but never intrudes.
A good saison but it feels like it's caught between classic balance or bigger standout characteristic. There are definitely more hops as typical of US styles, but they come across a bit too herbal for my taste when mixed with the strong yeast character. The ABV could stand up to more citrus-forward hops to give it a more distinctive flavor.

A: Pours a hazy golden color with a massive, fluffy head with very long retention and sticky lacing left behind.
S: Very fruity, plenty of apple and pear with some pepper and clove spice mixed in.
T: More apple along with some orange and apricot, nice level of spice with pepper and cloves. Some bread/bicsuit malt on the back end.
M: Medium bodied with high carbonation, slight alcohol presence.
O: A solid saison. The carbonation was a bit high, but not more so than other saisons I have had from corked bottles.

Picked this up at Bauer W&S in Boston, the clerk was promoting this brewery pretty hard so I figured I'd pick one up.
A: Into a flute- huge carbonation streaming from the bottom, big 4 finger head that diminished slow leaving nice lacing and a golden-orange color.
S: Its got some funk, but it almost reminds me of champagne. Nothing crazy awesome about the smell but it was pleasant. Had a nice funk to it, subtle though.
T: The sauvignon blanc notes stand out here big time, along with a decent farmhouse funk to it. The carbonation is kind of overkill causing a lot of the flavors to be masked. Not fantastic, but not terrible.
M: A lighter-medium bodied beer that has fantastic potential. A good drink, but I would love to see more taste from this beer and maybe a little less carb. Semi-dry finish, nice easy drink that leaves a nice white aftertaste.
O: A decent find, nothing remarkable by any means but I enjoyed it. Could be better but none the less its a nice one-time beer.

A- Way over carbonated. This 2011 bottle is nearly impossible to pour, and presents a aquarium like appearance visible through the golden honey body.
S- Smells really nice though. Peppery opening with a sharp clove middle. I'm talking super pepper like I sprinkled it all over the head. Beyond that a bit of fruity esters but they are really really hard to get beyond the pepper and banana nature.
T- Lots of fruity esters assault my taste buds. What presents through the intensely bright carbonation is bubble gum with banana flavor. Lots of bubble gum actually with fruit esters. Some tartness of citrus and a phenolic finish. Bit of leather or band-aid character with sprinkled pepper. Its complex but too jumbled and sweet. Juicy even.
M- Bright carbonation but not dry enough. Very sweet, malty even. Full bodied, the carbonation gives it a thick flavor. Lingering flavors of pepper and lemon grass on the back end help bring up the score a bit.
Its nice.. just not what I want at all in a saison. In fact, I'm not even sure I could call this a saison.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a mug.
Thick fluffy white head and a somewhat cloudy red/yellow body. Smells grassy up front. Some lemon and pepper. Some anise flavor. Lemon. Sugar. Herbs. Faint bubblegum. Complex but in a good way. Well carbonated. Dry.
I had this beer as an earlier batch and was not feeling it. Upon trying it a second time around I noticed how pleasant it is. Not the yeast bomb or carbonation nightmare as compared to the first time I tried it.
Try this beer with food, you will appreciate it more. Might save some of these for turkey day.

Shared with BeerLady2. Served in a standard pint glass.
Pours a hazy yellow gold with a HUGE frothy/foamy head and a substantial amount of lacing.
The aromas are mix of horse stable, dried malt, meadow flowers, cut word, orange peel, limes and a faint whiff of gin.
The flavors are fairly complex and changing as it goes down. Caramel malt, floral and resinous hops, citrus peel, spices, herbs and gin.
This is an edgy Saison with competing smells and flavors. A slight sweetness checks in and mellows things out late in the glass.
Fine brew with a hearty stew or sharp cheeses and salamis.

750ml bottle into Duvel tulip. Batch 1, bottled 8/13/11.
Appearance: Very careful pour (of a cold bottle) yields a glass of foam. Dissipates slowly, leaving thick walls of lacing. Head is nice, but this is a bit of a pain in the ass.
Pours a slightly hazy gold, once the foam turns into beer.
Smell: Fruity and yeasty, with a little pepper. Faint mineral and lemon. Effervescent. Not much spice besides pepper. Gives an impression of a few different fruits, but kind of a not-fleshed-out suggestion. Smells bright and refreshing, but ultimately a little dull.
Taste: I sometimes pan should-be-complex beers for tasting the same every sip... no worry of that with this beer.
The first sip has lots of yeasty flavor, with interesting savory undertones that appear well into the sip. Dry finish devoid of aftertaste. Subsequent sips tone down considerably with the yeast flavor, but reveal some undercooked bread and lemon rind. No clove or harsh phenols, just slightly fruity, subtle Belgian yeast flavor, almost-solvent-like-alcohol, and a little pear on the back end.
After I pour the next glass (not even halfway through the bottle; this thing seems to fill my Duvel tulip with foam for every 6th of the bottle I pour), the flavor gets notably more powerful. It's suddenly sweet and fruity, with a prominent mineraly note. Less watery, more creamy.
All told, most sips don't really rise above 3 to 3.5 territory for taste... they never have off notes, but they're not overwhelmingly interesting on their own, nor more palatable than the average saison. I'm bumping the score to a 4.0 because there's a lot going on without clashing, and the only consistent aspect of the flavor is its softness.
Hard to explain "softness", but everything that happens (mild funk, fruity or herbal hops, fruity esters, yeasty flavors) is subdued without being bland. Given the good mouthfeel, it makes for a refreshing beer, and experiencing all these different flavors is ultimately quite enjoyable.
Mouthfeel: Light side of medium bodied, high side of moderately carbonated (despite the pouring difficulties). Dry finish. No alcohol heat.
Overall: Tasty, and a strong start for this new brewery, but not in the same league as Captain Lawrence Saison, or Fantome, or Saison Dupont, or other readily available beers from across the stylistic spectrum called 'saison'. I enjoyed it, but too often I found myself taking a sip and being left wanting more from the beer.

Poured from a corked and caged bottle. Batch 002
Appearance: A beautiful golden, hazy slightly orange beer. I am kind of upset at how carbonated this one is. Poured slowly into a glass yielded me a good 4 fingers head of really tight white bubbles. Why do i have to wait 5 minutes to drink this?
Smell - Quintessential, lemon zest, barnyard, funky yeast and breads with a light light hop character. Dont forget the oak, its there! Smells good.
Taste - Despite the carbonation level of this beer this thing tastes incredibly good. Honestly one of the better saisons I've ever drank. Lemon zest, funky yeast, grass all up front and ending on a faint hop note, tastes really good. Awesome oak character in this one.
mouthfeel - i can't believe how this feels in the mouth based on the pour. I thought it would be much more carved but it is nice and smooth actually. You just have to wait for the bubbles to die down.
Overall - Despite the carb levels this beer is awesome. I am not a fan of waiting a long time to pour/wait for the brew to calm down based on these types of problems but once it calms down this is a top notch beer!

Huge, frothy white head. It recedes in a rocky fashion. Quite cloudy as expected. Yellow-gold color.
Lots of sour aroma featuring lemon. Mild yeast nose. Some pepper.
The flavor is more pronounced than the smell and very traditional (predictable). Starts with a fluffy, pale malt flavor which gradually turns sour. The swallow has some pepper but it doesn't last in the aftertaste. Good body and carbonation for the style.

THE WHITE STUFF: Renzo Rosso slipped into the Maison Martin Margiela show Monday night and denied published reports that the Belgian designer would be hanging up his duct tape, scissors and white paint. "It's not true. It's a rumor the press wants to create. It's been six years people have been talking about this," said the Italian industrialist, who acquired Margiela in 2002. "We're working very well together. He inspires me so much."
