Paul Revere Reproduction Bowl F B Rogers. What is is made of?

I found this bowl at a garage sale for 50 cents and though it might be a good casting material. I would like to know what it is made of though. Mine is not in as good of shape as the one pictured on the right.

What I know:

It does not specify silver on copper or sterling silver so I do not think it is one of those.
It is heavy. A rough estimate of density of the base is 9.5 g/ml
Lead — Density: 11.35
TIN — Density: 7.287
Zinc — Density: 7.04
Nickel — Density: 8.912
Copper - Density 8.96

The base:
It is dull gray color in the middle.
It is silver plated. I would guess pewter. I melted it down and cast it into this lost crayon casting

The sides:
Under the silver plate it looks a little yellow like a brass or other copper containing metal.
I would guess brass.





Please comment with your thougths. Or reply at this forum.
Whatever it is made of it seems to be a pretty good price at 50cents for 1.5lbs.

Two row pale and cascade small scale brewing experiment.

I am experimenting with making the simplest beer I can imagine. The eventually goal is to brew beer that i have grown myself but I need to wait till next sprint to get my barley going. This is a great cheap way to work. Without the cost of hops or extract I am able to make these 1L batches of beer for ~$3

1.75lbs two row pale extracted then boiled down to 1.25L. (small scale all grain brewing extraction by this method)
0.5oz dried homegrown cascade (60min) 0.1oz dried homegrown cascade (5min). no hydrometer. I would guess it was too high though. put in secondary 10/3/09. results were not hoppy enough for a good pale.

1.75lbs two row pale extracted then boiled down to 1.75L, 0.3oz dried homegrown cascade(60min) O.G. 1050. put in secondary 10/3/09. results were not hoppy enough for a good pale. tasted just like above pale.

1.00lb two row pale. 0.5lb rye. stuck mash.

11/11/09
1.25lbs two row pale. 1 cup rye. 0.5oz cascade pellets. O.G. 1060. 0.5 gallon batch.

5.5lbs two row pale. 0.5lb rye. 1.25oz cascade pellets. O.G. 1060. 1.75 gallon batch.
bottled 12/13 no secondary.
At bottling tasted great. may be the one i make a label for->

2/3/10
5lbs two row pale, 0.5 medium crysta, 0.5 rye, 2oz cascade O.G. 1060
By far the best batch. Crystal added a little sweetness that balances the rye

4lbs two row pale. 0.5 medium crystal, 0.5 rye. leftover malt from previous batches that did not fit in the fermentation containers.

• Scrape away your design with a pencil

The intention if for this to resemble a hops cone used in making beer. I will fill this bottle with beer with the next batch.

Calvin and hobbes themed snowman g20 protest

We can make copies of these signs.

As might be obvious this did not happen



people keep getting here by googling "how to make calvin and hobbes snow men." I think it should be pretty self explanatory or I would add details here. in any event buy this book:The Complete Calvin and Hobbes and buy me a copy while you are at it. I want it bad but can't seem to pony up the $ since i have most of the content in other books. for those of you seriously into the snowmen specifically there is always this:

Got this flyer with my newly arrived Barley seed for my urban beer farm.

This is not an endorsement that you can grow beer in your yard. I have had some success with wheat but have yet to try the barley. This question will be answered by next summer.

How to make a drop down menu with images for blogger page

Say hello to the new mouseover drop down menu. This is a slight modification of the simple dropdown menu tutorial here. To add images simply set up the dropdown menu as described in his post and then add images in front of the text. this will look great on your blogspot or other blog. So for example:

each <li> </li> contains a single menu element. Here is one example.

<li><a
onmouseover="mopen('m3')"
onmouseout="mclosetime()" href="#"><img src="MAIN IMAGE" height="60" />MENU NAME</a>
<div id="m3"
onmouseover="mcancelclosetime()"
onmouseout="mclosetime()">
<a href="YOUR LINK 1"><img src="IMAGE 1 LOCATION" height="30" />LINK1 NAME </a>
<a href="YOUR LINK 2"><img src="IMAGE 2 LOCATION" height="30" />LINK2 NAME </a>
</div>
</li>

If any of this is unclear shoot me an email or comment and I will clarify.
