Water make-up in Twin Cities area (Document)

by jeff＠truthbrew.com

I called Inver Grove Heights and was able to obtain the needed values. I have updated the word document and attached it to this e-mail. I also used Promash to calc the values for Ca & Mg from the hardness, let me know if they seem out of line or I did something wrong. Strangely, I calced the Alkalinity using promash (input values were Hardness and pH) and the values were way off from what was given to me by the city. Please update your city if you have reliable sources. Then mail back to the clubs. I will post this on sphbc.org soon. Thanks for the info guys! Jeff Halvorson SPHBC

Many thanks to Mark Glewwe

by John Reese

Thanks to Mark Glewwe, who (again) hosted a wonderful cider-pressing at Webber Farm. The day was lovely and the event well attended, by families and friends as well as the brewing cognoscenti. FWIW, the event is becoming somewhat famous in my neighborhood. One neighbor requested a half-gallon of cider, another sent a child along with my family. All this fun thanks to one person. Thanks again, Mark.

fw: how cloud you do tihs to a fienrd?

by Tomas Otero

Hey mom&dad, Just wanted to write you and let you know how that de_gree program I tried out went... Well 2 weeks later, I graduated, & finished my masters in less then 2 weeks with No Study Required and 1_0_0_% Verifiable! Yeah, I know you guys doubted it at first,but this turned out to be ,1.0,0% legit! The op,portunity exists due to a legal loophole allowing some established colleges to award degre.es at their dis.cretion. I'm so excited mom and dad this was a life altering opp,ortunity & for once in my life I took advantage of it. I already have jobs that wouldn't of gave me a chance before calling me off the hook now! This really is a Godsend. Tell my sister and cousin Joey they better hurry up and call that # i gave them the other day because counselor James said they aren't excepting many more students for this offer. here are the deg,rees they offer, B/A, B,S,C, M/A M,S.C, M.B.A, P,h,D and the number to c,all again 1-2,0,6,-338-5780 tell them to leave brief message of the de,gree they want, and they will call back ASAP. Anyways, much love and tell the rest of the family I said hello :) love your son,Darrin 13. Ninety six bottles of beer, three a's, three b's, one c, two d's, thirty two e's, six f's, two g's, six h's, twelve i's, one j, one k, five l's, one m, eighteen n's, fourteen o's, one p, six r's, twenty seven s's, twenty t's, two u's, seven v's, nine w's, five x's, and five y's on the wall.. Tell me when you have loved singing.. EDWARDS: But what have we seen? Relentless negative attacks against John. So in the weeks ahead, we know what's coming, don't we?. Have you already loved sleeping?. I hate playing quickly.. 8. That carpenter is practicing running at this time.. That pilot is missing surfing.. Haven't the photographers already disliked praying?. THE PARENT arrived back on the scene. She gave me a tape by Dr. Laura Meyers from UCLA. I listened to that tape eight times. I listened over and over and heard the same thing again and again. Ms. Meyers said, 'These kids may need to hear a word many times (perhaps 72 times) before they ever say a word. A computer can be patient and say it the same way every time.' Now I understood. I was not patient enough. I did not allow the student to hear the words over and over. I was interrupting their learning by interjecting, when they were totally engrossed in what they were doing. I was asking questions they were not ready to answer. They were just learning language. They didn't have the answers yet.. I am missing working right now.. Until that day, he could not hear the language differences. He asked for the computer every day by pointing to it. He was allowed to spend time each day on the noun program. One year later he was talking in full sentences and was staffed into normal preschool.. But this is where you come in: Between now and November, you, the American people, you can reject the tired, old, hateful, negative politics of the past. And instead you can embrace the politics of hope, the politics of what's possible because this is America, where everything is possible.. I didn't hate dancing last night at eleven.. lets goto mcdonalds soon. we can get a hamburger or too.. Joe's girlfriend generally misses laughing.. 5. EDWARDS: But what have we seen? Relentless negative attacks against John. So in the weeks ahead, we know what's coming, don't we?. They aren't enjoying running.. Many bartenders like driving every other day.. i am terribly hungry, do you want to get some food later on?. I have just practiced talking.. lets goto mcdonalds soon. we can get a hamburger or too.. That dentist is not enjoying writing near my home.. Those news announcers aren't practicing shaving next to the police station right at this time.. Don't you practice dancing as often as possible?. Those bus drivers aren't missing praying on the street just now.. Haven't you liked walking?. Do you practice driving in London?. Did those students miss eating last winter?. Have you hated surfing lately?.

Re: Beer by the Bottle?

by Annette May

Bell's no longer do the dozen-or-so Stouts in November, only the year-round K'zoo & Expedition, and Double Cream & Cherry in November. This year Larry is doing the "Wheat Project" - 4 beers-in-series and one strong wheat ale to follow that. The first, Wheat 2, is already on at the pub. I have more info if anyone is interested, and I believe there should be info available on their web page soon.
