Thank you for the opportunity to win this book. I have a granddaughter who is starting university in the Fall and she has asked me to help her set up a Home Network for her and her high-school sister.I plan to use one of my older PCs along with her current desktop. This may prove to be a stiff learning curve for me but I am more than willing to give it a try.
I only wish for AC in my home perhaps two months out of the year - I live in Central MN. Odds are I'm not inside during the day anyway...MN summers are divine. They make up for the winters and I intend to spend every second I can outdoors!
I keep my windows open at night to help cool the house (and me, I don't like sleeping in the heat). During the day I keep most of the shades drawn, with the exception of my kitchen windows where I keep my indoor vegetable garden.
The most desperate thing I ever did to cool off was to put a bowl full of ice and cold water in front of a fan, turn it on, and plant myself in it's path with a book. It works pretty well!
You can add as much yeast as you like. In fact, you can save your old, dead yeast to use as food for the yeast that is still alive. You can start with a yeast with a certain note, or flavour. Then finish off with a second dose of special yeast, that kicks the proof up.
You may want to take note that the yeast has dropped out and the mash has cleared before you put the heat to it. Any excess will fall out and can be pulled off.
@ Santos, even in people who don't have celiac disease or an intolerance to wheat or gluten, wheat can cause inflammation in the body. (Especially when wheat products like bread also have refined sugar -- another inflammatory food).
I've added shredded fresh coriander a minute or so to the hot sauce before serving which works well, but sometimes it's a bit too much, and some people don't like it. Instead some freshly chopped basil works really good (about 2t but to your taste).
As a marinade for e.g. tofu or chicken (sorry!) I just use turmeric, sesame oil and soy sauce to get it into a mix. This works great to add that 'something different' to the taste.

If it is a purchase (or even site) I'm unfamiliar with I will usually do a web search for the product/seller name & reviews, then the p/s & complaints, or something of that nature. I will look for results from reputable sites (Amazon, BizRate, etc.) and maybe a few blogs (as they seem to be the most honest...like here!! lol..). Usually if its something/someone you should stay away from its pretty evident in the beginning. Also, check www.ripoffreport.com!!!
The “latte factor” is complete nonsense. The people that promote largely overstate the final numbers you can save for retirement. After considering taxes, inflation, decreasing rates of return as we near retirement, it doesn’t help out as much as people would like. Retirement is a much more difficult game than just skipping out on lattes. See more accurate measure of what you would save here … http://livinginvol.com/?p=6
I always look at reviews before making a purchase. I try to find as many different reviews as possible to get a better average or the rating. The I read individual comments. If I come across a bad review, I look at how specific the comment is. I find general comments ("this product sucks!") can be ignored. I also look at how many people agree with the comment. If several people make the same complaint, I take it into consideration before buying.
Thank you all so much for sharing here. I have been trying repeatedly to quit and get through 1-2 days then give up. It helps to hear other people talk about the heart palpitations and anxiety and all the crappy sugar and saturated fat that comes with that nasty cup of coffee. And how you did it. And why it was worth it. You have given me the courage to try again.
I'm a mixed bag with comments. Sometimes they help sometimes they don't. For instance, I read such bad reviews about Price is Right show in Vegas. I went and LOVED LOVE LOVED it!
Santos, more and more people are finding out that they've been sick for a long time because they have gluten intolerance. We live in a glutenized eating world. It's wonderful to find foods and recipes that can bring us back to the foods we love. After years of suffering, I'm now fine as long as I totally avoid gluten--alas, easier said than done. Yes, there are a lot of us.
I am interested in ratings on sites like Amazon -- I generally try to skim a few positive and a few negatives when purchasing something new. As for blogs, though, I'm generally skeptical of overly positive reviews. Balanced reviews capture my interest, and negative reviews are good warnings, but anyone that's 100% positive while doing an extensive review... yikes.
I think personal reviews, by their very nature, are biased. Each person has their own reasons for using a product as well as their previous experiences to color their responses. I rarely base a decision on a single review, but look at an overall trend in reviews. And also responses to reviews - I've often seen later reviewers answer complaints from earlier ones, and if those make sense I'll take that into account vs. negative reviews.
It really depends upon the source. If a review came from yahoo, I am immediately skeptical. I've found good reviews there about a store that many people complained about on several other sites.
I try to find multiple sources and I tend to trust the negative reviews more often than the positive ones.
I've never felt fooled by websites because of two things. One, I always look for loopholes. I read the fine print clearly and this helps a lot. Secondly, I look in a lot of places and get a lot of opinions by doing random searches. Surely too many people can't be wrong. Then, only if I'm truly convinced, I but the item. I've bought shoes, an MP3 player and laptops this way.
Most times - yes. I do look carefully to see, though, the number of people who are rating an item. For example, if it's only 10 or 20; I don't think it's very reliable. Also, I'm not sure about Trip Advisor. I wonder if, for example, an owner or friends of the restaurant can create positive reviews??? I do, though, like to see comments about products especially on Amazon.

If you still want to sell ur hair here in Michigan let me know i may buy.

What a timely session. WOMMA just released their new guidelines last month. Can't wait to discuss.

Background:
http://womma.org/ethics/disclosure/
And in theory-- if some one did kill their yeast due to a temperature mistake, would it be ok to add another pack now that the mash is at room temp?
I was wondering how a person would know if they accidently killed their yeast by adding it to their mash before it was cooled down enough???????

Just called chase. I'm at @29% now because of a missed payment on a business master card.
The rep told me that the only program that would allow me to lower my rate ended last year.
And when I told her my husbands credit union had an offer for approximately 15 points lower, she told me to go for it.

I love product reviews. They can be a great tool when researching a product. I value both positive and negative comments.
