231 – Spirituality – Intention on the Spiritual Journey

When I came across these words of Frederick Buechner, I couldn’t help but think he correctly identified one of the real dangers associated with spiritual disciplines.  If we let our concern for our “spirituality” draw us away from our life as part of God’s creation, we have probably started to take the incarnation with less seriousness that it demands.

Where does Buechner’s challenge find you?

 “The Word became flesh,” wrote John, “and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). That is what incarnation means. It is untheological. It is unsophisticated. It is undignified. But according to Christianity it is the way things are.

All religions and philosophies which deny the reality or the significance of the material, the fleshly, the earth-bound, are themselves denied. Moses at the burning bush was told to take off his shoes because the ground on which he stood was holy ground (Exodus 3:5), and incarnation means that all ground is holy ground because God not only made it but walked on it, ate and slept and worked and died on it. If we are saved anywhere, we are saved here. And what is saved is not some diaphanous distillation of our bodies and our earth but our bodies and our earth themselves. Jerusalem becomes the New Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven like a bride adorned for her husband (Revelation 21:2). Our bodies are sown perishable and raised imperishable (1 Corinthians 15:42).

One of the blunders religious people are particularly fond of making is the attempt to be more spiritual than God.

Regular Cast

Sylvester McCoy (The Doctor), Sophie Aldred (Ace), Philip Olivier (Hex), Trevor Bannister
(Korbin Thessinger), Paul David-Gough (Will Alloran), Eric Potts (Lothar Ragpole), Ann Rye (Lilian Dillane), Helen Kay (Cate Reeney)

On the human colony planet Nocturne, there is suffering and blight, tragic symptoms of an ages-old war. Never the less, Nocturne is also one of the Doctor’s favourite places in all of time and space, because it is here that a late, great flowering of human art – the High Renaissance – is taking place.

He has been back here many times. It is a place of music and art which he finds inspirational and uplifting. It is a place he wants to share with Ace and Hex. It’s always been a safe haven for him, a world of friends and laughter.

But with strict Martial Law imposed on the front-line city, and the brutal scourge of interstellar warfare vicing the system, how safe can anyone really be?

There is a note of death in the wild, midnight wind.

coming soon

  • Nocturne was the ninety-second monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions.
  • Ace and Hex remind The Doctor of several previous occasions that he brought them to places under false pretences including Breearos (apparently in order for The Doctor to return his library books but resulting in a fortnight’s stay while he negotiated the ceasefire in the Orbit Wars), Tau Sartos (to use their reliable laundry service but in actuality to prevent the spawning of a particularly mucous Zylax swarm) and Nydas III.
  • The Fifth Doctor once visited Nocturne in the company of Tegan Jovanka. The Seventh Doctor describes it as being”a particularly lively visit.”
  • While he was in secondary school, Hex went on a school trip to Venice. He thought that everything was wet and smelled like rubbish.
  • The Doctor mentions that he has previously had numerous bad experiences with robots. (Robot, The Robots of Death)

The next horizon for industrial manufacturing: Adopting disruptive digital technologies in making and delivering

发布机构 [20002]麦肯锡

发布时间 2018-01-01

项目人员 Kevin Goering, Richard Kelly, and Nick Mellors

主题 工业公司;制造价值链;美国;生产率;全面质量管理;增量收益

年份 2018

In the past few years, advanced industrial companies have made solid progress in improving productivity along the manufacturing value chain. In the US, for instance, the productivity of industrial workers has increased by 47 percent over the past 20 years. But the traditional levers that have driven these gains, such as lean operations, Six Sigma, and total quality management, are starting to run out of steam, and the incremental benefits they deliver are declining.

Have you ever wanted to do something other than sit at a shooting bench and destroy paper targets?
Have you ever thought about improving your firearm handling skills?
Are you looking for a setting that is friendly and fun?

Look no further! The Dubuque Chapter of the Izaak Walton League Of America, a nationwide organization dedicated to protecting our environment from harm, promoting outdoor recreation such as Fishing, Hunting, and the Shooting Sports, has just what you are looking for!   Our 25+ acres of land located between Dubuque and Peosta Iowa have plenty of opportunities to quench your need for all of these things!

To the left you will see tabs for each of our various types of shooting that we do during the summer months here in Iowa.  Contact information, as well as information about our Chapter, can be found at www.iwla.org/dubuque.

At the Dubuque Chapter Izaak Walton League grounds, we offer many different types of shooting for almost all ages and experience levels.   With a membership to our Chapter, you instantly obtain discounts to our shooting events-up to $5 depending on the event!

As with all shooting sports, SAFETY is the number one priority!  Proper firearm handling, safe operation, proper eye and ear protection and common sense are all required at our range.  If you choose not to follow all of these guidelines, we are not the range for you.   We run a COLD RANGE.  This means that all firearms are UNLOADED until you get to the firing lines.  This applies to all of our pistol leagues as well as our clay bird events.

roche’s Otrexup helps lower blood pressure: study

The data indicated significant improvements on the pale his skin, vigor, elation, and its friendliness scores in response to Otrexup compared roughly to placebo.

A Son's Complaint: 'Let Me be Me'

[ point evaluation5/5 ]1 people who voted
Đã xem: 1270 | Cật nhập lần cuối: 2/6/2016 10:31:10 AM | RSS | Bản để in | Bản gửi email

A young man once came to me with a complaint.

He spoke to me about how he wanted to transfer from his neighbourhood high school to another one far away from his home. When I asked him why, he told me that the teachers and administrators at his old school treated him differently on account of his father, and he was unable to develop his own identity. He wanted to get out of his father’s shadow and go to a school where no one knew who he was, so he could be himself.

He was tired of all his successes being attributed to his father’s undue influence. He was tired of his failures bringing him comments like: “A blazing fire gives birth only to ashes!” It was a no-win situation either way. He said: “The people around me expect me to carry my father’s mantle, so to speak, which is way too cumbersome for me to bear.”

He said: “I am my own person. I have my own heart, my own mind, and my own body. I want to have my own experiences and learn who I really was through trial and error. I want to shout at the people around me: ‘Take me out of my father’s shadow!’

A Son's Complaint: 'Let Me be Me'
“I feel I’m at my best when I’m able to act unselfconsciously, without worrying about other people watching and judging my every move. When I make a mistake, I want to be blamed only for the mistake I made, without having my relationship with my father thrown in my face every time. When I achieve something, I want the credit that is due to me, without having people saying that it was my father’s influence that got me where I am.

“It is not that I’m not proud of my father, or that I’m unhappy with the way I’ve been raised. Not at all. However, I’m eighteen years old, and I’m still unprepared to stand on my own two feet.

“A person who speaks to me in a cautious way might think he’s the only one who does so. For my part, I have been spoken to in a similar manner by my uncle, my teacher, my cousin, my friend’s father, and the police officer who stopped me for a traffic violation. It is as if I have no right to be spoken to like a real person who has his own ID, his own relationship with Allah and his own personality, distinct from his parents.

“When I played a prank or did something wrong, this was my own doing. I want others to realise that and not always measure me against my father. Now, you are a learned man and you have read a lot about child development. You know how teenagers think and feel. Have you read anywhere that depriving a teenager of his own identity and putting his father’s identity in his place is bad for his development?”

“Do you want to make me feel like everything I do is a double burden? I have to be responsible for my own conduct as well as for the reputation of my father which you constantly remind me is always at stake.

“It might be alright for you to say that to me once, but not all the time. It might be alright if you were the only person saying that to me. But everybody doing it is too much.

“Do you believe that someone who knows us saw me at a wedding and before he could even finish greeting me, he stopped to criticise the fact that I shaved some hairs from my beard near my ears, saying: ‘Leave it the way your father does.’

“Do you know that a traffic cop took me out of the cell I was in after only three hours to ask me at his desk what your opinion was on some issue?

“You might find it hard to understand what I’m going through, but you would if you were in my shoes. People wear me down with their love for my father by wanting me to be a copy of the one they love.

“The same goes for my father’s opponents. They hear my name and say: “You are who’s son?” Then the whole conversation turns to their disagreements with my father, and often I realise it is because they misunderstood something. Believe me, I am not a defensive person, though I might sometimes feel angry inside. I merely want to tell them that they heard the word wrong... and also that I am not the person with whom they are having the disagreement! I am someone else. I am not a photocopy of another book. I am a brand new book.

“Dear father, even you fail to treat me like a son who needs love and affection, or like a teenager who needs patience and forbearance, or like a unique person who has his own needs and temperament. Instead, you always tell me: ‘What are people going to say about us.’

“I know we live in a close-knit society, and I identify with it strongly. At the same time, it can become stifling when it obscures who I am or imposes upon me presumed personal connections which do not really exist.

“Dear father, remind me of my value as a person. Let me be responsible for myself and respect my decisions. Give me your advice. Be patient when I act foolish at times and let me grow out of it on my own. Let me have your support, but do not smother my personality. I do not want my father, the preacher, to become one of the people who constantly remind me that I have no value except as the preacher’s son. I am, before that, a descendant of Abraham and a descendant of Adam, and maybe some other prophets. Allah says: ‘And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.’ [Sūrah al-Sāfāt: 113] “Do you see me, dear father, as being in the wrong?”

Anatole Broyard

"One night after class I spoke to Dr. Fromm. I asked him to recommend an analyst, hoping he would take me himself. But he didn't; he sent me instead to Ernest Schachtel, who taught a course in Rorschach interpretation at the New School.

"Dr. Schachtel looked like Paul Klee--or at least like a photograph I had seen of him. It pleased me to imagine that I was about to be analyzed by Paul Klee. Schachtel was thin, well-dressed, delicate-looking, almost nervous. He impressed me as the sort of man who read Schiller, Heine, and Kleist, who listened to Schubert and Mahler. His expression was melancholy and I supposed he had suffered during the war. What was it like, I wondered, to leave your own country for another, where all you met was the unhappiness and confusion of the people who lived there? Suppose when Americans went to Paris or Florence, the waiters, hotel clerks, and taxi drivers told them their dreams, their fears and nameless angers.

"In Dr. Schachtel's apartment on the Upper West Side, there was just a touch of Bauhaus. His furniture was light, almost fragile, and it occurred to me that when Germans weren't heavy they were often fragile. Like Fromm and Horney, he was a revisionist, and that was what I wanted, to be revised. I saw myself as a first draft."

Zika virus latest: Olympics moved to pub

The chill out zone in the athletes village

The IOC has bowed to pressure from the World Health Authority and agreed to move the Summer Olympics from Rio to a small pub in rural England.

“The Squirrel Lickers Arms is the best location we could find at such short notice,” said Thomas Bach, head of the International Olympic Committee. “Eddie the landlord has assured us that the garden is big enough for all the races as long as the athletes are good at doing a one-eighty every thirty paces and the ‘Kidz Indoor Funland’ has all the soft surfaces needed for gymnastics.”

While most countries have expressed surprise over the new location for the games, and the fact that the diving will be held in an old horse trough, every competing nation has said that they will be attendance. If nothing else they’re all really looking forward to an opening ceremony of a karaoke disco and pie-heavy buffet instead of the usual endless contemporary dance based twattery.

Eddie would like to assure the global television audience that Paul McCartney and the Arctic Monkeys are barred.

Review: Hideaway Island (Vanuatu) Snorkelling

Hideaway Island was definitely a high point of our Vanuatu Holiday.  The snorkelling was exceptional despite the day being quite overcast, really it only played havoc with the GoPro footage a little bit and probably kept the crowds at bay.

Hideaway Island is also home of the The Underwater Post Office which has a great novelty factor, but I did find it a bit of a reach (in depth) while snorkelling.

Where is it?

Hideaway Island is a small island within the shelter of Efate Island in Vanuatu.  Surrounded by reefs the island is only accessible by boat from Efate Harbour or a “ferry” service from the nearest point on the main island.  There’s a small fee to access Hideaway Island that you pay once landed.

The bar/cafe on the beach sells a variety of food and drink at slightly higher prices than elsewhere in Vanuatu.

Getting in the water

While there’s a few ways to get to Hideaway Island with organised tours we got a ride direct with a local boat from Efate harbour area, it was a longer trip but a different way of getting around.

One of the more “odd” things to see is the Underwater Post Office which is manned by a SCUBA equipped Postman at various times of the day.  Simply buy a postcard on the beach, fill it out and take in the water for postage!

During our visit the weather was mostly overcast which probably kept some of the numbers down so it never felt ‘crowded’ however we also visited in the shoulder season.  TripAdvisor comments indicate that at various times of the year it can feel overcrowded.

Reef shoes or proper closed flippers are essential as the coral starts from the moment you step into the water and is very unforgiving.  I’d almost suggest some gloves would be ideal additions if you are thinking of being more tactile with things.

So despite a reasonable number of people in the water are there still fish to be seen?  Obviously the videos show there are, but I guess like most things the schools look larger in the brochure.  It’s still possible to be bobbing along and suddenly find yourself being surrounded by a school who will scatter at your slightest change in movement.

All-in-all Hideaway Island gave us a great experience in the water at a very reasonable cost.  It’s a great addition to any Vanuatu trip if you’re on the island of Efate.

Sony HDR-AS20 – My new Action Cam

After much deliberation over a couple of days I bit the bullet and grabbed a Clearance Sony HDR-AS20 from JBHiFi. This new camera should be a nice partner to the GoPro Hero3 Black I’ve had since 2013.

Why buy a Sony HDR-AS20?

The tip-over point for me was being able to buy a great camera with good optics and some image stabilisation at a low price (AUD149) which has a similar array of accessories to the GoPro but isn’t a GoPro.

As Advertised - $149 HDR-AS20
As Advertised – $149 HDR-AS20

The HDR-AS20 isn’t a new camera and certainly isn’t a super high-spec unit either.  Instead it’s a case of getting a better camera than a GoPro clone at a GoPro Clone price.

Some of the accessories are also a bit more flexible or innovative compared to GoPro as well.  There’s a housing that converts it to being a lot like a mini-camcorder (AKA-LU1 for AUD99) and the remote features a Live View screen for around the some price and the GoPro equivalent.

Like my GoPro Hero3 most of the housings and accessories are compatible with the later (more advanced) models, which means in a couple of years I may take the leap to 4K recording with either camera family and not ‘lose’ out on the investment.  I do feel that 1080P is going to be good enough for quite some time though as the storage and recording media demands of 4K exceed my budget.

Unpacking my HDR-AS20

Included in the basic kit are the obvious things like USB Cable, Battery, Mounts and a few stickers.  I was surprised at the inclusion of a AUD15 Voucher for Accessories from Sony Australia and an adapter to convert to the popular GoPro style mounts.

HDR-AS20 Included Accessories
HDR-AS20 Included Accessories

The HDR-AS20 is simple to use – like a GoPro – just preset the finer configurations then cycle between modes as needed. It seemed to have no issues with my 80Mb/s Sandisk Ultra 64Gb card and should record around 5.5 hours of video on it.  I’m not convinced that the iOS Apps are as good as they should be be, they aren’t as “comprehensive” as the GoPro App.  However the video “preview” via the Sony App is far superior to the GoPro with minimal lag and better clarity.

The standard housing is rated for 5m depths so will do the trick for snorkelling, pools and playing about on the water – this is not as good as the basic GoPro housings but enough for most of my potential use.

The lens optics and stability of image seem better than my Hero3 Black. Although with fewer modes to deal with the wide-angle distortion at recording time it may mean post-processing video will require a few more tweaks.

My HDR-AS20 Haul

I did pick up a few additional accessories at the same time, the Skeleton Housing for in-car use and a Hand-Grip/Tripod which I hope will be handy.

HDR-AS20 Haul
My Sony HDR-AS20 Haul

Thanks to the included voucher I’ll probably end up ordering the AKA-LU1 this week.  I’m hoping when combined with some additional Wasabi Power batteries that will be “enough”.  The Live Remote will have to wait until the right deal comes along!

Getting Rich on 2.4 cents per day

After reading yet another “wow look at me I’m a digital nomad living on a beach comfortably” article I decided to have a bit of a go at seeing just how much money could be made “passively” – after all the idea is to be sitting on the beach sipping pina coladas not slaving away at a keyboard.

the idea is to be sitting on the beach

Naturally my own creative lassitude means that setting this up couldn’t take a large single investment of time nor could the activities required to produce this income be “unpleasant”.  Becoming a crime-scene cleaner one day a week wasn’t the plan.

So I thought about my half-hearted efforts with YouTube over the years.  Here was a medium that had little to no start-up cost.  The time investment was completely manageable and most importantly it would let me try something new and get a tangible personal benefit – i.e. the few hours of footage accumulated over the years of holidays cars and cats could now get collated into viewable moments for our own consumption.

Yes YouTube was going to be the wealth creation vehicle

So I started by moving a few of my early video efforts into a clean and shiny new channel.  As my skills with video are limited they struggled for views, but I was at least getting the channel set-up and most importantly pushing myself to actually process our stock of footage.

It’s now taken a couple of months, but between a successful automotive themed video and some new content collected during our recent Vanuatu trip there’s a solid 30-40 views a day happening.

Through the editing and creation of the 33 videos currently online I’ve pushed myself to learn new skills, getting a handle on iMovie and how to cut together scenes that suit the content.  Let’s face it we want to see cats bounce & pounce, the idle time in between is just time that people will take to click away!

The travel videos on the other hand are longer and often not trimmed so that the whole presentation is given, but they’re chasing a specific audience, viewers like Kitty and I who are trying to research holidays or catch something we missed out on.

But moving back to the subject, 2.4 cents per day.  Yes on a rolling 30 day basis Youtube Analytics indicates a typical $0.70-$0.90 yield.   I’m a long way off being self sufficient on this, but I it would pay for one green coconut a day on Espiritu Santo!

GoPro Stuff – Coming to grips with it

When I was gifted a GoPro for my birthday last April I was like all “it’s so cool” but despite some tinkering around with making cat videos I didn’t really stretch its legs until recently.

Two things are immediately apparent;

  1. I need to make more and “better” raw video, the more video I can choose from the more interesting things I may capture.
  2. GoPro settings are important but they’re not the main factor, having a couple of “goto modes” and an understanding of the framing they provide is really all it takes.

To address the first problem all I need to do is actually use the GoPro.  Sounds simple but it’s true.  Sometimes a degree of self-consciousness can tip in, other times it’s too weird to carry around or have strapped into or on the car.   Then there’s the “how many times do I do the same thing” problem to get different angles or views.

The second problem is addressed through use, but also through excellent resources like Abe Kislevitz who seems to have tried enough of the settings in practice and then is able to write about them in a realistic comparative way. is essential reading for any new GoPro owner, and a thorough browse through his Blog & Portfolio, especially the user comments where Abe actually drops great succinct tips in response to questions will go a long way to unlocking the magic of these cool little cameras.

So back to my video efforts thus far, I’m most proud of my first bit of real underwater footage – It gave me an understanding of the cameras capability and captured memories that previously just weren’t possible. I’ve got another couple of hours of raw video to edit from a different day, and I’m expecting it to reflect the increased comfort I had with the camera after the first 30 minutes use in water that made this video.

The second video here is just an edit together from a single drive.  It’s the footage where I started to realise that the mounting of the GoPro really is the most important factor.  The camera was secure, but with a couple too many pieces used to position it I got shake, not much but enough.  Still, the video quality worked out OK, probably thanks to the bright sunny day.

Next challenge is to do some more on-car footage and see if we can get a complete 2-3 minute video with a number of angles and action sequences.

Medical Ultrasonography
Sonography is effective medical imaging of soft tissues of the whole body...
What is UltraSonography?

UltraSonography is an ultrasound based diagnostic imaging technique used to evaluate many parts of the body including the abdomen, blood vessels, fetus of pregnant women, joints, thyroid gland, superficial body structures including subcutaneous area (area below skin), tendons & muscles.

It utilizes high frequency sound waves (Ultrasound) to obtain diagnostic images. Diagnostic ultrasound, also called sonography or diagnostic medical sonography. The images produced during an ultrasound examination often provide valuable information for diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions.

Pre preparations

How you prepare for an ultrasound depends on which area of your body needs evaluation:

Most ultrasound exams require no preparation.
Examination such as a pelvic ultrasound — require that you should not urinate before the exam to ensure that your urinary bladder will be full, allowing better visualization of the uterus, ovaries or prostate.
How the test is performed?

During an ultrasound exam, you usually lie on an examination table. A small amount of gel is applied to your skin. The gel helps eliminate the formation of air pockets between the ultrasound and your body. During the exam, a technician trained in ultrasound imaging (sonographer) presses a small hand-held device (transducer), against your skin over the area of your body being examined, moving from one area to another as necessary. Images are created on the monitor by the sound waves.

Ultrasonography doesn’t have any risk. Ultrasound is usually a painless procedure. However, you may experience some mild discomfort as the sonographer guides the transducer over your body, especially if you're required to have a full bladder. A typical ultrasound exam takes from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

Although ultrasound is a valuable tool, it does have its limitations. Sound doesn't travel well through air or bone, so ultrasound isn't effective at imaging parts of your body that have gas in them or that are obscured by bone. Rather than using ultrasound to view these areas, your doctor may instead order other imaging tests, such as CT or MRI scans, or X-rays.

Though the majority of ultrasound exams are performed with a transducer on your skin, some ultrasounds are done inside your body (invasive ultrasounds). For these exams, a specialized transducer is attached to a probe that's inserted into a natural opening in your body. Examples of these exams include:

Transesophageal echocardiogram A small, specialized transducer is inserted into your esophagus to obtain images of the nearby heart. Such exams are typically performed with sedation.
Transrectal ultrasound A small, specialized transducer is inserted into a man's rectum to view his prostate.
Transvaginal ultrasound A small, specialized transducer is inserted into a woman's vagina to view her uterus and ovaries.
Why the test is done?

You may need to undergo an ultrasound for a variety of reasons :

To diagnose early pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and to assess a fetus and to assess treatment of infertility
To Diagnose pathology of Abdomen and abdominal cavity like hernias, diseases of liver, gallbladder, urogenital disease etc.
To Diagnose Peripheral vascular disease / to evaluate flow in blood vessels anywhere in the body
To evaluate a breast lump in addition to Mammography
To check thyroid gland
To evaluate function of the heart & valve (Called Echocardiography)
To reveal abnormalities in the genitalia and prostate
To evaluate abnormalities of subcutaneous plane, the muscles and tendons
To evaluate joints
To guide for needle biopsy or for tumor treatment

When your exam is complete, the sonographer and a radiologist generally view the ultrasound images on film or on a computer monitor. The radiologist analyzes the images and sends a report of the findings to your doctor.

Online versus Traditional Learning: A Comparison Study of Colorado Community College Science Classes

Submitted by on November 1, 2012 – 3:17 pmNo Comment

In September 2012, the Colorado Department of Higher Education released a comparison study of CCCS students who took science courses online versus in traditional classrooms, and then tracked those students who transferred into four-year institutions in Colorado.

Students are currently given more and more options in postsecondary education be it the traditional format in the classroom, in a virtual world online, or a hybrid of the two options.  The Colorado Community College System (CCCS) offers numerous courses both in the traditional and online format. Recently in Colorado discussions regarding traditional and online courses have centered on science courses.  This study conducted by the Colorado Department of Higher Education compares students enrolled at the Colorado Community College System in traditional and online science courses. The second part of the study tracks these same students into a four year institution and compares academic performance in science courses.

The bottom line: there were no statistically significant differences in students’ science GPAs based on the community college instructional delivery method (online versus traditional).  The study suggests that students who took online science courses at the community college level perform just as well in science classes at four-year institutions as students who took traditional on-campus science classes.

Fermware DIY featured in BYO Homebrew Hacks Issue

For the second time this year, I’m honored to have one of my DIY’s featured in another great brewing publication.  It’s in the March/April 2015 BYO Homebrew Hacks Issue!
The post covered was my tip on using Fermentation Bucket Liners:

Fermentation Bucket Liners

Fermentation Bucket Liners

Difficulty: level_1

Time Required:

As long as it takes to empty the trash

So you know how much of a pain it is to clean and sanitize your carboy/bucket/conical after fermentation is complete?  All that yeast residue, hop matter, etc?  Well this is my method that has served me quite well the last 2 years and makes cleaning a piece of (yeast) cake.

The bags are also great to store your milled grain the night before brewday.  Then re-use the bags for trash or spent grain.

When I say “bucket” in these instructions, I also mean carboy, conical, trash can, etc.

FDA Approved bag liner.  See below for discussion….

Option 1 (new as of March 26, 2015)

An astute reader (see post comments) found another source on Amazon for another equivalent bag liner.  I’ll pick up a case and update.  They are much thinner (0.39 mil versus the 1.5 mil thick bags that I’ve been using).  They are also about half the price.  As of March 26, 2015, they were $26 for 250 ($0.10 / bag).

The link above is for the clear 40 gallon size, but they also have different capacities.

Fortune Plastics Hi D Tuff Folded HDPE Waste Can Liner, Star Seal

If you are an Amazon Prime member, this would be the way to go, since the cost of shipping can easily lower the cost/benefit ratio.

Here is a link to the manufacturers site and their quote about it’s food worthiness.

Hi D Tuff® liners are USDA and FDA Approved for direct food content, and implement a star seal bottom seal, the strongest, most reliable seal available utilizing pickets for wet material below the seal.

 Option 2 (what I’ve actually used through 2014)

003-Bucket Liners - U-Line Trash Liners

U-Line S-13572 Clear Trash Liners

  • 24″ x 33″ bags
  • 12-16 gallon
    • I went way larger than the 6.5 gallon size of my buckets
    • Only $2 more per box than the next size down
  • I went with the heavier 1.5 mil thickness bags
  • Lid seal
    • Despite the thickness, the bucket lid still seals just fine
    • I can even shake the fermenting bucket to oxygenate and it has never leaked
  • FDA Compliant
    • If you go to their website and click on “Additional Info”, it will list “FDA Compliant”
    • Made from Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
      • Most fermentation buckets are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
    • I called them before ordering and they couldn’t tell me what “FDA Compliant” meant
    • Pre-Sanitized or sterilized?
      • I don’t know
      • I have always just pulled a new bag out and dropped it right in
      • Never had any off flavors
      • Never had any infections
  • As of 11/14/13 they are $51 for 250 bags
    • $0.20 / bag
  • Durable
    • Never had a bag leak
    • fully supported by bucket anyway
  • You can essentially make any container into a fermenter!

Mr. Obvious Directions:

  • Pull new bag out, put into fermenter, pour in wort
  • Then do everything you would normally do
  • When done, rack beer as you normally would
  • pull bag out, tie shut, put in trash
  • easy peasy!

Directions with bonus material:

003-Bucket Liners - bucket ready with bag

Get the bag and bucket ready

003-Bucket Liners - bottom of bag

Bag Construction

Bags are sturdy on the bottom

003-Bucket Liners - bag pulled all the way down

Easy tiger!

If you shake to oxygenate your wort, or you will be opening the lid before starting the fermentation, go directly to the next step.  With the bag all the way to the bottom of the bucket, the rest of the bag COULD be pulled down all the way like this, but DON’T.  I’ll get to that in a bit.

003-Bucket Liners - bag pulled halfway down

Leave a lot of the bag in the bucket

I went from shaking to oxygenate the wort, to an aquarium pump, back to shaking.  Not great for my back, but this is my method for now.  My point is, when you put the lid on, it does stretch the bag material and sometimes could put a hole in the bag and if you need to open the lid and reseal before starting fermentation, you may not get a good seal the next time.  By leaving more bag in the bucket, after you open the lid, you can pull more fresh bag out and have a brand new seal.

003-Bucket Liners - bucket ready for wort

Ready for the wort

My burner is at the perfect height where I just tip my kettle and pour it into the fermenter.  By the time I need to lift it to pour the remaining wort, it only has about a gallon left.

003-Bucket Liners - wort in bucket

Now the wort is in the bucket with the liner

If you are going to put the lid on to shake it or you need to put it in your keezer to get some extra temperature drop before pitching your yeast, go ahead and do so now.

003-Bucket Liners - wort with slack pulled out of bag

Cut me some slack, Jack!

When you are ready to pitch your yeast and close the lid for the final time, grab the bag and pull up on it.  Not enough to pull it out of the bucket, but just enough to pull the slack out of it and hopefully get rid of any potential air pockets between the bag and the walls of the bucket.

003-Bucket Liners - tie knot

Keeping things neat and tidy

If you want, you can roll the excess bag up and then tie it into a knot.

When you are ready to rack to secondary or the keg or whatever, pop the lid and smell the awesomeness you just created.

003-Bucket Liners - dirty lid

Only the lid is messy

The lid has crud on it like usual or from the vigorous shaking you did prior to pitching the yeast.

003-Bucket Liners - holes in bag

Holes / Stretching I mentioned

See the stretching and potential holes in the bag?  You only want these from the lid seal outward.

003-Bucket Liners - dirty bag

This is what’s left

Your usual yeast cake.  Do notice how some sediment settles in the wrinkles of the bag.  You really can’t prevent this, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have cleared beer.  I’ve had some brilliantly clear beers.  In my opinion, it’s all about giving it enough time to settle.

003-Bucket Liners - pulling bag out

Pull the bag out

003-Bucket Liners - yeast

Here’s your yeast ready for washing, re-pitching, whatever

003-Bucket Liners - clean bucket

Check out that perfectly clean bucket!

003-Bucket Liners - clean lip

And the rim is clean too

Not often, but occasionally due to the stretching of the bag or holes, I do get some beer on the lip only.  Still, way easier to clean the lip than the entire bucket!

Congratulations!  You just saved yourself a few minutes (if not more) of cleaning and sanitizing, plus the drying time.

February 7, 2014 Update

Ok, so even though I’ve been using the bags for over a year now, and my judgement was good enough for me, I thought I would get a second opinion.

Fortunately, it just so happened that on the Basic Brewing Radio podcast, James had recently done a couple episodes on Homebrew Toxicology.

Part 1:

Part 2:

I emailed James to get in touch with “Paul the Toxicologist” to get his opinion.  Do not take this as a full endorsement from Paul or James, but just some cool homebrewers helping another homebrewer out.

Here is Paul’s response:

 So on to your question about FDA compliant vs. Food Grade.  There could be a difference, but it may just be semantics as well. Think “not all parallelograms are squares, but all squares are parallelograms”.  FDA has a lot of regulations, so by saying it is FDA compliant does not mean it is food grade.  But I would take it that if someone were to call a product food-grade, what they would mean is FDA compliant to the specific FDA regulations that deal with food contact materials.

That link also says FDA compliant but is more specific in that is says “FDA approved for food storage”.  Again, this is not to say that the bags you are using aren’t the same.  What would help is if Uline were to provide the specific regulation that is making them FDA compliant – this would tell you whether they are compliant to the food contact regulation.  The reference you would be looking for is 21 CFR 177.XXXX, where the XXXX is another set of numbers that specifies the approval for that specific polyethylene.
A reference to the CFR citation will also help to figure out if your specific use (storing alcoholic beverages) is an approved use of the material.  I took at look at one of the entries for polyethylene in 21 CFR 177.1630 (you can find it at the FDA search site as well  In this entry you will see that (according to part 21 CFR 177.1630 (f)(2)) that “The plastics are used for packaging, transporting, or holding food, excluding alcoholic beverages, at temperatures not to exceed 250 deg.”
So you can see that FDA compliant is a complicated statement, in that it isn’t a material that is approved for use, but instead it is a material for a specific use that is approved for use.  This is based on the fact that the companies need to conduct migration testing to ensure that nothing hazardous migrates out of the plastic and into food under specific conditions.  To be compliant with the FDA regulation, they only need to test situations that are water-based, and do not need to look at contact with alcohol (which is a different solvent and could leach out different compounds).
I just sent a note out to Uline that I used some of my regulatory-speak, I’ll let you know if I hear anything back from them.
So the bottom line is that if I had to guess, I would think that the Uline liners you have found (and likely all other similar liners you could find) are actually compliant with the FDA regulation for food contact. However, I would also suspect that they will indicate that they are not intended to be used in contact with alcoholic beverages, such as your intended use.  So from a regulatory compliance standpoint, I have a feeling that you are not using those liners for an approved use.
That being said… I would also say that your risk of having things migrate into beer at a relevant concentration is pretty small.  When I talked to the polymer toxicologist that I know, his advice was that if you are using a food-grade polyethylene that the starting materials that are used in their manufacture are almost all gone in the final product, leaving only long polymers that are not toxic.  There could be some of these starting materials left over in trace amounts (monomers, catalysts, etc.), but anything that would migrate out of that plastic would be coming out under “approved” use.  When you are using these bags under “non-approved” use, you are likely only going to be leaching out the same materials that would come out under the approved use, and therefore unlikely to be leaching out anything else with the alcohol that would increase the hazard of those liners.
So if you wanted a toxicological opinion, since you are using a food grade material (and a known material) it is a low risk from using those bags.  If you listen to the podcasts, this is a similar explanation that I gave for the picnic cooler mash tun or jerry can no-chill wort chilling, they are all “non-approved” uses for food grade materials but are low risk.
Response from Uline
Dear Paul,

Thank you for contacting Uline Product Questions.

In response to your question about the S-13572, 24 X 33″ 12-16 Gallon 1.5 Mil Clear Trash Liners, these bags are approved for the bagging or packaging of containers of alcoholic beverages.  They are also approved for containing or packaging of non-contained beverages. Unfortunately, there is no 21 CFR reference available and no migration testing has been done on this item.

Update again:
In the 3rd installment of Homebrew Toxicology, they actually discuss my conversations with them.  It’s the first topic they cover and it starts at about 5:30 into the podcast.

Me again:

The fact that they are approved for containing “non-contained beverages” is good enough for me.  I can certainly understand the legal ramifications of the word “approved”.  As a company, I am assuming that they can only list a product as approved, if the actual test has been carried out to a certain standard.  The FDA standard Paul referenced does however have the caveat “excluding alcoholic beverages”.

If you listen to the Basic Brewing Radio podcasts however, you will quickly understand that when it comes to food contact, it doesn’t seem to matter what  is in contact with the plastic and at normal temperatures, if something is going to leach from the plastic into your food/liquid, it is going to happen anyway.  So by that logic, I work out that if it is safe for generic beverages, it is safe for alcoholic beverages.

I just wanted to say a special thanks to James Spencer of Basic Brewing Radio and Paul “the toxicologist”.  I appreciate the straightforward nature of the Basic Brewing podcasts and Paul for just being a cool guy willing to help other homebrewers and to dispel some of the myths and misconceptions withing the brewing community.

For what it’s worth, Paul also found these bags.  Different size, but you can work out which size you want:

My ass hurts. A lot.

And it hurts from doing “fun stuff.”

To me, that means working out really hard. I don’t know WTF it means to you, perv.

I love being sore from a good workout, but it’s something that so rarely happens. I’m used to working out so it takes a lot to get me to experience DOMS (delyed onset muscle soreness). Thanks to a recent change in my workout split, I am now walking like a zombie. Or a nazi. (I am neither, for the record.)

A workout split simply means how you split up your workout throughout the week. Different splits are helpful depending on what your goals are. Keep in the mind that which ever split you choose, you should avoid working the same muscle group on consecutive days. For example, if you work your back on Tuesday, you should wait till Thursday to work it out again.

Examples of different splits are:

Full body (not technically a “split” but whatever):
I originally wrote that this one is good for beginners, but it’s actually good for just about anyone. This is where you work every muscle group in your body in one session. An example would be squat (lower body), bench press (chest), bent over row (back), overhead press (shoulders) done Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Using a lighter load at a fast pace is good for burning fat. Going heavier is good for developing strength. What makes this type of routine so effective is how taxing it is on your body. The main drawbacks are that you can’t give concentrated attention to certain body parts and the workouts can take a long time.

Upper body/lower body:
Good for people who have a decent strength/muscle foundation and want to add more mass or fine-tune certain body parts. An example of a routine would be: Monday – Upper body. Tuesday – Lower body. Wednesday – rest. Thursday – Upper body. Friday – Lower body. This type of split gives you a higher training volume for body parts which is good for building muscle (granted that you lift heavy enough.) It’s also less tiring than doing a full-body workout.

Body part:
This is a bodybuilder-style workout meant to add mass and isolate certain body parts. You only work one body part a day. Example: Monday – chest, Tuesday – back, Wednesday – shoulders, Thursday – legs & abs, Friday – arms. You get a very high volume per body part with this split. This is the one I’m doing now.

Synergistic split:
Also known as a push-pull split. This is when you do a split based around the muscles that work together. One day you would work back and biceps (pull) and the next you’d do chest, triceps, and shoulders (push). You could do legs on their own day, or you could add glutes/hamstrings to your back day, and do quads on your chest/tricep day. I prefer to work legs all in one shot, but that’s just me. Synergistic splits are also good for getting more size.

Antagonistic split:
Similar to synergistic split, only you are working muscle groups that aren’t related. For example: back and triceps, chest and biceps, back and legs, etc. This split is also good for gaining mass. The main benefit is that you’re not going to fatigue as easily because you’re working different muscle groups instead of repeatedly using the same ones. I’ve never done this type of split before though, so my knowledge of it is limited.

Full body workouts have the potential to give you the athletic skinny or fit & ripped build. Fit & built and bodybuilder dude probably use body part or synergistic splits.

So with that said, which is the best type of split? Well, it depends on your goals. But I think trying out all of them and seeing what you like the most is the best path to go down. A lot of people argue that body-part splits are better for gaining mass, but I think that as long as you progressively lift heavier weights, you will gain mass despite whatever split you’re doing. The key is going heavier. If you’re squatting 135 lbs for 6 months, you’re not going to see many gains in strength or size because that’s what your body is used to.

My favorite routine is full body. I gained a lot of strength doing that, and some muscle mass as well. As I mentioned, I’m trying out the body-part split for a little more muscle, so we’ll see how that goes. My ass isn’t happy about it, but I am.

This back is brought to you by overhead lighting and mostly full-body workouts.

More tips for putting together your own strength program:

  • Decide what your goal is and pick a split.
  • Make sure you hit all muscle groups. Ladies, that means don’t neglect your chest. Don’t worry. You’re not going to get man-pecs or lose your boobs. The only thing that will make you lose your boobs is losing fat.
  • Start off with larger muscle groups and move to smaller ones. For example, on an upper body day you should work your chest and back first, then move to arms and shoulders.

Time for me to go back to rubbing my ass ^_^

PS. If you’re looking for a workout plan, my Minimalist Muscle guide includes FREE 20 minute workouts that require minimal equipment. That means they can be done in the comfort of your own home. It’s great for beginners and also has challenging modifications (think paused reps and negatives) for intermediate folks. They’re simple (but effective) workouts for a complicated world.

How It Works

The unique formula of Slim9™ is based on thermogenesis. This property provides a thermogenic effect that works on burning the extra fat naturally.

Thermogenesis is the way in which the metabolism rate of the body increases above the normal level, and as a result the body generates extra heat and energy and increases blood flow. This effect of extra heat burns the extra fat in the body and decreases appetite.

During the process of burning that extra fat, free fatty acids and glycerol get broken into small particles, which facilitates their automatic burning and evacuating course.

The essential extracts of Commiphora mukul and Garcinia combogia combined in Slim9™ unique formula, stimulate that lipolytic activity and allow your body to burn the extra fat and turn it into energy.

As a result, you get noticeable and quick weight loss through that fatty acids breaking process, along with a remarkable increase in energy level.

BNP and UBS warned about the drop in oil prices to $30 per barrel

Bloomberg, the representatives of Commerzbank, BNP Paribas and UBS Group announced that, in their opinion, the rise in oil prices by 70% in comparison with January lows reminiscent of what was happening on the market last year. Then a barrel of Brent rose in the spring to $68 per barrel, but in may, this trend has exhausted itself. According to experts BNP and UBS, in the coming weeks, prices may return to around $30 per barrel.

“There are dangerous Parallels with the year 2015. The market is already overheated and a correction is long overdue,” – said the Agency representative of the Commerzbank’s Eugene Weinberg.

Bloomberg indicates that the price growth was influenced by the unstable situation in Nigeria, Iraq and Kuwait, where there was a strike of workers of oil industry. Moreover, the situation has not affected including the failure of the Doha negotiations, where the OPEC countries and the largest producers are not able to agree about freezing of the level of production at the January level.

However, experts point to the factor of shale oil. “Rising prices can be self-destructive, because it inspires the producers of shale oil in the United States,” says Harry Chilingirian from BNP Paribas. The French Bank believes that the preservation of oil prices at a low level could crush the American manufacturers.

“Strengthening of oil prices – the path on thin ice,” agreed UBS analyst Giovanni Taunovo.

Tue 14th May

There was a good breeze in the afternoon. There was a good breeze as we left the moorings.  As we arrived at the starting area, the Gareloch became increasingly smooth.

Race Officer Julian Forrester set one of the shortest courses, to H (off the shop in Clynder) and back.

Hermes and Catriona were in danger of being left near to the shore.  Catriona paddled furiously before the preparatory signal to get closer to the favoured pin end of the line.  Hermes didn’t and suffered.

Boats starting from out in the loch on port tack had the benefit of momentum.  Dione got the best of that argument and blanketed others.  All of whom blanketed Catriona. Teal made an outrageously good start by approaching from the course side (she was obliged to give way to all the others) dipped the line and was away.  The rest of the fleet was moving too slowly to interfere.

On the trip across the loch, it was immediately clear the flood tide was having a strong influence.  Thalia in particular was swept a long way up.  Julian signalled a shortened course before anyone had reached H.

Teal was the first to do that and led by a margin from Dione and Halcyone on the leg back to the finish.

Catriona managed to make her spinnaker work for part of this leg, which helped her past Dione and Halcyone who were swept up on the tide.

Near to the Shandon shore, there was a strong back eddy which caught Teal unawares.  She was taken the wrong side of the finishing mark and took some time to struggle back against the tide.  Her lead had been so large it didn’t matter.  Dione failed to learn from that example, did the same and lost a place to Halcyone.

1 Teal, 2 Catriona, 3 Halcyone, 4 Dione. Thalia, Athene, Hermes, Thia, DNF.
