Hot Tub rewiring
Cant find the answer anywhere - we just removed our old inground hot tub that was wired with two 30 Amps and one 20 Amps cables (each has 2 hot and 1 "ground" wires). We would like to get new "outside" type hot tub . The problem is - our unit located on the 3rd floor and current wires were placed through the holes drilled in joists back in the 80's. I dont see how can we put new 50 Amp cable since the floor is finished, got plywood and cement layers on top of the joists and would require major remodeling of the condo.
So, is there a way to connect modern hot tub with 2 cables - 30+20 Amps, or is there a hot tub out there that has separate circuitry that can be powered by 2 different cables?
Technically we have total of 80 Amps that coming there and only need 50 Amps, but is there any way to connect those 3 or 2 cables together to provide necessary supply to a newer unit? We were told that we can go with 30 Amps hot tub instead - but wouldnt that effect jets flow?

CURITIBA, Brazil (AP) — The Maracana is not filled with many fond memories for Spain, whose World Cup title is on the line at the iconic football stadium.
Spain hopes to reverse Maracana luck vs Chile
Spain returns to the Maracana for Wednesday's must-win match against Chile nearly one year after a 3-0 defeat to Brazil in the Confederations Cup final.
Spain's 5-1 loss to the Netherlands to open Group B was its heaviest competitive defeat since a 6-1 defeat to Brazil at the famed stadium in Rio de Janeiro at the 1950 World Cup.
Spain isn't letting its poor history at one of the sport's most storied settings become a distraction, however, as it looks to reverse its poor start.
"The Maracana is mythical, but the only wish is for the result to be completely different from last year's Confederations Cup final and we can win," Spain midfielder Juan Mata said.
Spain can take heart from two victories at the Maracana during the 1950 World Cup, 1-0 against England and 2-0 against Chile.
Spain now needs to repeat that win over Chile, but preferably with an even bigger scoreline to make up for its poor goal differential.
"It's a stadium with so much history, and we've played there already. It's an important place and hopefully that can work in our favor," said forward Pedro Rodriguez, who many expect to replace David Silva in the starting lineup on Wednesday. "What's clear is that we cannot afford to fail."
Spain will also have to deal with another change in temperature as it goes from the cool, winter weather of its training base in Curitiba to the warmer, muggier confines of Rio de Janeiro. The team tired in the humidity of Salvador against the Dutch.

Problem: Land Boundary Law Problems: Boundary Law Terms
Each week, we present a surveying problem for you to solve from the third edition of "Surveying Solved Problems for the FS and PS Exams" by Jan Van Sickle, PLS (formerly "1001 Solved Surveying Fundamentals Problems"), some jokes, trivia or other amusing items and a cool link to brighten your day.

Have fun, and have a great week!
Joke: Fishing in a Frozen LakeIt was a cold winter day. An old man walked out onto a frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped in his fishing line, and waited patiently for a bite. He was there for almost an hour, without even a nibble, when a young boy walked out onto the ice, cut a hole in the ice next to him. The young boy dropped his fishing line and minutes later he hooked a Largemouth Bass. The old man couldn't believe his eyes but chalked it up to plain luck. Shortly thereafter, the young boy pulled in another large catch. The young boy kept catching fish after fish.
Finally, the old man couldn't take it any longer. "Son" he said, "I've been here for over an hour without even a nibble. You've been here only a few minutes and have caught a half dozen fish! How do you do it?" The boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm." "What was that?" the old man asked. Again the boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm." "Look," said the old man, "I can't understand a word you're saying." The boy spat the bait into his hand and said... "You have to keep the worms warm!"

not to mention that the red buff the ESENCTIAL ganking tool got a nerf so now theres very little point in getting it if you already have a stun/slow/gap closer
Oh yeah i forgot that red golem gave experience also, might as well skip that too and be stuck at an even lower level because your red is nerfed. Since everything else is weaker then red, then how about not clear any creep in stay in a lane. Its called adapt to the game..... once again.
If your going to turn this into a complete troll well here you go.
This was a serious post trying to just tell people to play and stop with the QQ. Riot knows whats going on. But if you wanna go down then troll road here.
So bring back hexteck gunblade being stackable
bring back the op morde, op TF.
bring back all op champs and bring back all the super UP champs.
And learn to adapt means keep changing stuff. You only need to adapt when things change you ****tard
I don't want that to happen. I think you guys need to remember who the creators of the game are. They know their game better than you. They get advice from all of us, but they know how to actually make and run a video game.
Oh yeah, create a video game like this and have it all be perfect please and then we can tell you how its not.

Saturday, March 28BaseballNortheastern at London (2), 11 a.m.Madison-Plains at Southeastern, noonJonathan Alder at Lakewood, 1 p.m.
Just how good will the London High School softball team be this spring? Red Raiders coach Kelly Nelson is cautiously optimistic.

Contrary to belief Jonathan Alder baseball coach Craig Kyle doesn't have a reserved parking space at Huntington Park in downtown Columbus, the home of the OHSAA state championships, it just seems like it.
There are a lot of reasons for Madison-Plains softball coach Kevin Stockham to be excited about the upcoming season. With a roster loaded with talented returnees the Golden Eagles appear to be poised for a breakthrough season.
There aren't a whole lot of players on the London High School baseball roster with varsity experience, which means the Red Raiders could be going through a spring of ups and downs.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of electric machines. It relates to a winding bar for the high-voltage winding, in particular stator winding, of an electric machine, comprising a plurality of conductors which are arranged above and/or next to one another, and a conductor bundle with a rectangular cross section, the conductor bundle being surrounded outside by an insulation.
In this case, the conductors can be arranged electrically in parallel (bar winding) or be interconnected in series (coil winding). However, in normal operation the voltage between the conductors is substantially smaller than that across the bar insulation.
The invention also relates to a method for producing such a winding bar.
2. Discussion of Background
Winding bars such as are used, for example, in stators of rotating electric machines frequently have the cross section represented by way of example in FIG. 1. The winding bar 10, which is inserted into a slot 11, provided for the purpose, in the stator laminated core 12, comprises a bundle of individual conductors 13 which are arranged running in parallel above and/or next to one another. The conductor bundle, which generally exhibits a rectangular cross section with edges 15, is surrounded on all sides by an insulation 14. As a result of the shape, the electric field at the edges 15 is stronger than on the flat sides of the winding bar 10. Consequently the edge region is particularly susceptible to electric breakdown or electric long-term failure.
In order to achieve the best possible filling of the slot with conductor material, and the best possible transmission of heat via the bar insulation, an attempt is made to achieve the thinnest possible insulation, at least on the flat sides of the bar, which dominate in terms of area. The conventional production of the insulation 14 in the case of winding bars with a rectangular cross section is described, for example, in "Sequenz: Herstellung der Wicklungen elektrischer Maschinen" ["Sequence: Production of windings of electric machines"], Springer-Verlag 1973, pages 128-129. According to this, strips of mica paper, which is coated with glass fabric on a substrate for the purpose of increasing the tensile strength and tear resistance, are wound in the form of layers around the bar or conductor bundle, subsequently impregnated with synthetic resin, molded-in and cured at raised temperatures. The thickness (d1 in FIG. 1) of the insulation 14 is approximately the same on all the flat sides of the winding bar 10 in this method. At the edges 15, it theoretically exhibits the same thickness d1 (see the enlarged partial section in FIG. 2), but becomes smaller in practice because of the locally increased contact pressure (small supporting surface in the edge region) which is produced when the strip is wound around the conductor bundle at a constant rate with a constant winding tension. According to the formula for coaxial cylinders, the maximum electric field at the edges 15 can be specified as:
In this case, (in accordance with FIG. 2), U is the on-load voltage, r1 the inner radius of curvature of the insulation 14, r2 the outer radius of curvature of the insulation 14, and d*the thickness (mostly reduced with respect to d1) of the insulation 14 in the region of the edges 15. It is clear from this that the electric field which in the case of radii r1≦3 mm which are technically easy to realize is in any case already distinctly stronger at the edge 15 than in the region of the flat sides, will once again increase as a consequence of the reduced insulation thickness d*, as results in the case of many production methods.
The effects of the increased field strength can be considerable, particularly in the case of continuous electric loading, since the failure rate t−1 increases with the electric field in a strongly superlinear fashion. In rough terms, a law of exponents holds between the lifetime t (in h) and electric field E (in kV/mm) in accordance with
t0=1 h and E0=1 kV/mm. For a service life exponent n=8 (this is a frequent value in the case of insulating materials for rotating electric machines in accordance with the prior art), this means, for example, that an increase in the field strength by 20% reduces the service life to less than Ľ, but conversely that reducing the field by 20% increases the service life by a factor of approximately 6.
Lowering the edge field strength could now be achieved, for example, by going over from an insulation 14 with constant thickness d1 (=d*), as is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, to an insulation with an angular outer contour (r2=0). This assumption, carrying out a computer model calculation based on the finite elements method for a value of d1=2.5 mm and r1=2.5 mm, produces a reduction in the maximum field strength Emax in the edge region of 11%, which corresponds to a computational prolongation of service life by the factor 2.5 in the case of a service life exponent of 8. This factor increases disproportionately with a higher service life exponent (for example factor 4 for n=12).
Accordingly, one object of the invention is to provide a novel winding bar in which a distinct reduction in the maximum field strength in the edge region is achieved with simple means without the need to increase the thickness of the insulation in the region of the flat sides, as well as to specify a method for producing said bar.
The object is achieved in the case of a winding bar of the type mentioned at the beginning by virtue of the fact that the thickness of the insulation on the edges of the winding bar is greater than the thickness of the insulation on the flat sides of the winding bar. The enlargement of the insulation thickness in the edge region produces a correction of the field lines of the electric field, which leads to the desired reduction in the edge field strength.
A first preferred embodiment of the winding bar according to the invention is defined by virtue of the fact that the insulation on the edges of the winding bar has a curvature with an inner curvature contour and an outer radius of curvature, and that the outer radius of curvature is smaller than the sum of the equivalent inner radius of curvature of the inner curvature contour and the thickness of the insulation on the flat sides of the winding bar. Maintaining an outer radius of curvature differing from zero produces a uniform change, favorable for the field distribution and for the mechanical stability, of the thickness in the edge region.
In principle, such a shaping of the edge regions can be achieved with the aid of a wound insulation when thermoplastic strips are used for the insulation. However, the shaping becomes particularly simple when, in accordance with a second preferred embodiment, the insulation consists of a thermoplastic polymer in which filler particles made from an insulant are distributed. In a preferred development of this, polyetherether ketone (PEEK) is used as the thermoplastic polymer, and mica platelets are used as the filler particles. Instead of PEEK it is also possible to make successful use of other substances such as, for example, polysulfone (PSU) or polyether sulfone (PES).
In accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the special shaping, used to reduce the edge field strength, of the insulation in the edge region is also extended to the conductors of the conductor bundle surrounded by the insulation in such a way that at least the conductors arranged in the region of the edges respectively comprise a bundle of individual insulated, in particular stranded wires. It hereby becomes possible to use compression molding to bring the conductors themselves into a shape which leads to a further increase in the insulation thickness in the edge region. In this case, the wires can be formed, for example, as round wires, but can also be square (in the manner of miniature ROEBEL bars).
In a preferred development of this embodiment, for the purpose of achieving a smooth outer contour the bundles of the wires are impregnated with a semiconducting binding compound, and for the purpose of coupling to the semiconducting binding compound at least one wire in the bundle of wires is left or made bare. It is hereby possible to minimize an unfavorable influence of the wire bundles on the field distribution. Over and above the smoothing of the outer contour of an individual conductor, the outer contour of the entire conductor bundle can be smoothed when, in accordance with a further embodiment, the conductors of the winding bar are spaced apart from one another by interspaces, and the interspaces are filled with a semiconducting bridging compound which preferably exhibits (in the bar direction) a voltage-limiting behavior which is nonlinear, at least in sections.
The method according to the invention for producing a winding bar, in the case of which winding bar the insulation consists essentially of a thermoplastic material, is defined by virtue of the fact that after the application of the insulation the winding bar is subjected to a calibration process in which there is impressed on the deformable material of the insulation a prescribed edge contour which leads to an increased thickness of the insulation in the region of the edges. The decoupling of the processes of application and shaping renders it possible for the two process steps to be optimized separately and carried out continuously at the same time. The insulation can be applied in this case in particularly uniform layers, which can be effectively shaped, when, in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the insulation is applied by means of a method from the range of the powder-coating methods, in particular spray sintering or thermal spraying, and extrusion methods.
The method according to the invention can be carried out in a particularly quick and precise fashion when, in accordance with a further preferred embodiment, for the purpose of carrying out the calibration process, calibration rolls which are arranged parallel to the middle planes of the winding bar and at a fixed spacing therefrom are moved relative to the winding bar over the surfaces thereof, and within the calibration process a prescribed radius of curvature is impressed on the edges of the winding bar by means of additional edge rollers.
Further embodiments follow from the dependent.
A more complete appreciation of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily obtained as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows in cross section a winding bar, inserted into a stator slot, according to the prior art, having a wound insulation with an essentially constant thickness d1;
FIG. 2 shows a section in the edge region of the winding bar according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows the representation, comparable to FIG. 1, of a first exemplary embodiment of the invention, in which by reducing the outer radius of curvature r3 of the insulation at the edge, the thickness of the insulation is increased in this region;
FIG. 4 shows a representation, comparable to FIG. 2, of the edge section of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 shows a representation, comparable to FIG. 3, of a second exemplary embodiment of the invention in which for the purpose of further increasing the insulation thickness in the edge region the adjoining conductor is rounded off more steeply;
FIG. 6 shows a representation, comparable to FIG. 4, of the edge section of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 shows a diagrammatic representation of the effects occurring during the calibration operation according to the invention; and
FIG. 8 shows a perspective representation of an exemplary embodiment of the calibration process using the method according to the invention.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, in FIGS. 3 and 4 a first preferred exemplary embodiment of the winding bar according to the invention is reproduced in cross section. The enlargement of the thickness of the insulation 14 of the winding bar 10 in the region of the edges 15 is achieved in this case by virtue of the fact that the radius of curvature r3 at the outside of the insulation 14 is selected to be smaller than the sum of the radius of curvature r1 on the inside of the insulation 14 (or the conductor 13) and the thickness d1 of the insulation on the flat sides of the insulation (see FIG. 3). By comparison with the conventional case of FIGS. 1 and 2 (illustrated by dashes in FIG. 4), this results in a thickness d2 of the insulation 14 in the edge region which is greater than the thickness d1. The thickness d2 is at a maximum for the extreme case with r3=0 (sharp outer edge of the insulation 14).
Setting r1=2.5 mm and d1=4 mm produces d2 max=6.69 mm, which corresponds to a rise in the maximum insulation thickness at the edge 15 by 67% in comparison with the value d1 on the flat sides.
Starting from the conventional winding and impregnation process as the production method of insulations for the conductors in rotating electric machines, sharp outer edges can theoretically be made for the insulation 14 by deforming the insulation in the impregnated, but not yet cured state. This presupposes the insulation can flow. However, since the normally employed glass substrate of the mica strip is very strong in tension, adequate flow of the insulation will take place only when the glass/mica strip is wound very loosely around the conductor bar (winding tension approximately equal to 0). Such an insulation has, however, the advantage that the strip layers rip very easily and folds can form, with the result that uniform winding of the conductor bundle is no longer ensured. However, uniform winding is a basic assumption for a homogenous and functional insulation.
A sufficiently deformable insulation is to be expected only by selecting a production method for the insulation 14 in which no glass substrate is used. This precondition is fulfilled, for example, by the powder-coating methods of spray sintering and thermal spraying, extrusion methods and methods in which the conductor bundle is wound around with thermoplastic strips and subsequently hot-pressed (see the printed publication EP-A2-0 660 336 in this regard, for example). All the said methods do not yet necessarily of themselves provide the desired effect of increasing the thickness at the edges; it is easily conceivable that, if no additional precautions are taken, the thickness of the insulation 14 at the edges 15 will turn out to be smaller. Consequently, an additional processing step is required to shape the edges. A further requisite condition is that the insulating compound employed, preferably a polymer, can be plastically deformed in a wide temperature range.
The desired, targeted deformation of the insulating compound (the polymer) in the edge region can then be realized, in accordance with FIGS. 7 and 8, by a so-called calibration of the insulation 34 shortly after the spraying on (this applies for thermal spraying) or after the sintering (this applies for spray sintering) by guiding calibration rolls or calibration rollers on the flat sides of the insulation in accordance with the diagrammatic representation in FIG. 7 in a defined way over the still deformable insulating material. The insulation compound 27 applied to the base 26, which also still contains air bubbles 28 in addition to the mixed-in filler particles 39 (for example mica platelets), is compacted in this case by the calibration roll 31 which is rolled at a defined spacing over the base 26, and rendered of uniform thickness.
In a preferred embodiment of the method, the insulation compound is formed by successive application (spraying on) of a plurality of thin layers. Calibration is then carried out after each spraying operation. This results additionally in positive effects by virtue of the fact that the air bubbles 28 which may be present are pressed out of the insulation, and that short-fiber or platelet-shaped filler particles 29 are orientated into a possibly desired, directed position parallel to the surface (right-hand side in FIG. 7).
A mechanical mixture of polyetherether ketone (PEEK) and mica in the ratio of 1:1 is applied at room temperature to a rectangular conductor (with conductors 33) by means of electrostatic spraying (subvariant of the spray sintering method). A layer with a thickness of approximately 0.2 mm adheres on all sides. The polymer component of the powder is fused by heating in a recirculating air oven (380° C., 10 min). Directly thereafter, the winding bar 32 is calibrated on both end faces and broad sides by in each case two roll pairs situated one behind the other (calibration rolls 35,36,37) (FIG. 8). The calibration rolls 35,36,37 are arranged in this case parallel to the middle planes 41,42 of the winding bar 32 and at a fixed spacing therefrom. In order to avoid excessive withdrawal of heat and consequent premature solidification of the polymer, the rollers preferably consist of glass tubes or other thermostable material with as low as possible a thermal conductivity. The calibration can be realized either by guiding the winding bar 32 between the fixed calibration rolls 35,36,37 (direction of arrow in FIG. 8) or, more advantageously, by guiding the rolls over the fixed bar (concept of robot or winding machine).
As in Example 1, but with heated calibration rolls 35,36,37. The roll temperature is approximately 330° C. in this case.
A mechanical mixture of polyetherether ketone (PEEK) and mica in the proportion of 1:1 is applied to a rectangular conductor by means of flame spraying up to the desired final thickness. The conductor is preheated in this case to approximately 180° C. The calibration is performed in accordance with Examples 1 and 2.
As in Example 3, but the final thickness is not reached in a single pass but by repeated spraying and calibration of thin layers with a thickness of approximately 0.2 mm. By contrast with Example 3, this procedure has the advantage that the mica platelets are orientated in the desired way parallel to the surface, and the bubble content of the insulation drops virtually to zero.
As in Example 4, but in addition to the flat sides of the winding bar 32, the edges 40 are also calibrated with special edge rollerers 38,39 which are preferably arranged in the process direction downstream of the calibration rolls 35,36,37. An outer radius of curvature (r3 in FIG. 4) of the insulation 34 is hereby defined, and the result is that the mica platelets are favorably aligned in the edge region, which is particularly awkward electrically.
As in Examples 1 to 5, but PEEK/mica compound is processed instead of the PEEK/mica mixture.
Strips, consisting of polysulfone (PSU)—filled with 30% by mass of mica—are wound around a rectangular conductor. The number of layers of wound-on strips is 5-10% greater than corresponds to the desired insulation thickness. The calibration is performed after the winding, in accordance with Example 2 using heated rolls. The roll temperature is 250° C. in this case.
A further preferred exemplary embodiment for a winding bar according to the invention is reproduced in FIGS. 5 and 6. The winding bar 16, which is inserted into the slot 17 of the stator laminated core 18, comprises a plurality of conductors 19,20,21 which are surrounded by an insulation 22. At least the outer conductors 19,21, preferably also the other conductors 20, in this case comprise stranded, insulated wires 25. The outer conductors 19,21 are rounded off in accordance with the principles of field theory (Rogowski profiles) (radius of curvature r5). The rounding off of the conductors 19,21 is simplified by the structuring into the wires 25. By comparison with the thickness d3 on the flat sides (FIG. 5), rounding off the conductors 19,21 produces an increased thickness d4 in the region of the edges 23 (FIG. 6) which can be further enlarged by virtue of the fact that the radius of curvature r4 is reduced at the outer edge of the insulation 22. In this case, the (minimum) thickness d5 relative to the narrow side of the winding bar 16 can be determined using the following formulas:
with the operating voltage U and the maximum permissible field strength Ezu1. It then holds for d5 that
By substituting the equations in one another and solving for d5, it is then possible for example, to calculate the thickness d5 as a function of d3. The circular configuration is specified by way of example. An even further reaching optimization as regards the field strength can be found by using curvature contours of the conductors 19,21 which are not exactly circular.
In order to achieve a flat outer contour, more favorable with regard to the electric field strength, of the conductor bundle 19,20,21 in the insulation 22, the interspaces 24 between the conductors 19,20,21 can be filled up with a semiconducting bridging compound. A comparable effect is produced when the "green" bar, that is to say the conductor bundle before embedding in the insulation 22, is provided with a semiconducting coating. If the semiconducting bridging compound or the semiconducting coating consists of a material which exhibits an electrically nonlinear behavior, voltage impulse waves can additionally be distributed linearly between the conductors 19,20,21.
A further improvement results when the wires 25 comprising the conductors 19,20,21 are compressed in a press after the stranding in order to keep the CU component in the conductor as high as possible. In particular, it is favorable in terms of the electric behavior if the conductors comprising the wires 25 are pressed into a mould and impregnated with a semiconducting binding compound. This also results in a flat outer contour which is important for the maximum field strength. The coupling to the semiconducting binding compound is preferably effected in this case by leaving at least one round wire bare.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

Come to Como
... about 1 hour on the boat. There is residential along the shoreline and half way up the mountain most of the way around the lake, the further we get away from Como although it begins to thin out and clear townships can be seen.
Menaggio is, like all the other towns, a holiday destination and at this time of year most of the places are closed. We find somewhere to have lunch and then spend the afternoon wandering through the alleyways ...
Not so glamorous Bergamo
Leaving Milano, we started the day with Bergamo which is an ancient town about 40 km east of Milan we've been hearing a lot about. I have to admit that it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Maybe it's just me setting my expectation too high.
The old town (citta alta) is up on the hill and we had to take ...
Bergamo and the Alps
... right on the lake, it had gorgeous views of the Alps as well. We walked along the water and grabbed some lunch. It was very nice. We returned to Bergamo, walked around a little longer and went back to the hostel to sleep.
In the morning, we got up early and had some breakfast before we headed off to the airport to go to Greece!

Milano, Milano
... Milan we decided to see the mighty Duomo under daylight so we headed off there again. Despite the guys trying to sell you stuff it was great strolling around the piazza once again and we pretty much spent the whole day around. We also went to the Castello Sforzesco wich reminded me a lot of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. The guy in the entrance of the park playing Pink Floyd was the finishing touch. We continued our day ...
... village is, well, a village. Much like the others we have seen but actually quite flat - a rarity in these areas. The reindeer and wild boar here for the tourists was quite interesting. Just the two of us on the way down. We find the girls and the funeral has finally finished, but they did have to overstay their time in the carpark while waiting for the hearse to move. Back home via the car ferry and Bellagio again where we enjoy a dinner of cheese, salami, bread, olives etc. and ...

Even The Best SEO Companies Can Miss The Mark SometimesJanuary 22nd, 2015
When it comes to marketing collateral today, you are going to find that there are things that you want to do and things that you shouldn't. For instance, there is no end in sight to the shortcuts that people try to end up taking in a lot of ways. You'll find that you can try to avoid it, but you'll end up losing market share over time. You're going to find that the best way to chase the right parameters is to stop working on the shortcuts that are recommended by some bloggers and focus on building the right marketing elements that can actually give you a leg up on the competition. The best way to approach the marketplace today is to look into the right pieces of collateral that is going to allow you to jump over the hurdles that are placed by search engines. The best SEO companies can give you a blueprint in regards to this world, but you will find that they can end up also causing a great deal of issue as well. The following are some of the things that some marketing companies like to push out but are really not doing all that well in regards to their push forward. If you hire someone or you try to emulate what these options are, you will find a diminished return on your investment. If you want to hire best SEO Companies for proper investment Click Here.
The Fastest Content Possible
Some of the best SEO companies in the past would rely heavily on the frequency of your updates. They would create a ton of posts and then unleash them onto sites as fast as they could. You may be tempted to take them on and focus on how to build them yourself, but it's not a good thing. You are going to find yourself falling short of your goals in a lot of ways. The process of moving through fast content is not a good thing, and could end up hurting your market share. The reason why it's not wise to update your site at all times and focus on quantity over quality is simple, it's not going to work overall. You may think that it's going to work, but it's going to cause a great deal of turmoil.
Websites today look at what you're posting and how often you're moving forward. They do so to look for spammers. If you're updating all the time and your updates aren't exactly dense in terms of keyword selection, you are going to end up losing out on the bigger picture. Do not follow this path, instead focus on setting up a modest schedule that will help you build the right pieces overall. It takes time to build a good following and that's something that should not be taken for granted at all.
Treading On The Same Themes
When it comes to saturating the marketplace with content, you shouldn't just traverse the same themes over and over again. You will find that treading the same old processes are going to cause you to lose market share overall. You don't want to set yourself up for failure, you want to succeed and that means that you will want to take on the role of diversifying your content. If you're not posting a diverse array of elements, you are going to end up losing out fast. You want to look into marketing collateral that is going to raise the bar for your site in a lot of ways.
Right now there are 15 types of content that you can look into, and all of them can help you gain leverage within the right arenas. You will not want to post the same thing over and over again, that's going to cause you to fall short of what your goals are. The more diverse your updates are, the higher the chances are that you will succeed in this rat race online. Without the diversity measures online you will end up losing out on the future, guaranteed.
Buying Backlinks
Everyone that has worked with marketing at any level has found themselves lost amidst the backlink purchasing scandals. This is a bad thing and there is no saving grace in regards to this at all. You will find that if you're buying backlinks at any level, you are going to end up losing market share overall. There are a lot of companies that think that they can build the right elements moving forward, especially when it comes to carefully selecting what links to buy, but search engines are smartening up. In the past, they would let this slide, especially if you found highly relevant links to point to your site, but that's no longer the case. You're going to find yourself dealing with a wide variety of issues that are going to be complicated to say the least. Don't buy links, it's that simple.
The end results of trying to emulate what the best SEO companies did in the past is not a good way to build your marketing collateral today. It was a good idea in the past, but things are changing much faster today than ever before. It's something that is definitely not worth losing sight of, especially when you want to build the right framework for marketing collateral in the future.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Just how hot is the housing market? Re/Max, one of the word's largest real estate brokerage firms, will soon find out.
Re/Max, which has been private since its founding in 1973, filed initial paperwork with the SEC for a $100 million initial public offering.
The real estate brokerage operates as a franchisee with roughly 90,000 agents in more than 90 countries.
But Re/Max is predominantly a U.S. housing company. It noted in its prospectus that 74% of its revenue in 2012 came from the U.S and said it's uniquely poised to take advantage of the continuing U.S. housing recovery.
Re/Max's competitor Realogy, which owns Coldwell Banker and Century 21, tested the IPO waters late last year and has been on fire since then. Its shares are up nearly 60% from its IPO price.
Realogy's shares have soared even as it admitted in its IPO filing that it would use the bulk of its proceed to pay down $4.5 billion in debt from the Apollo Group, which took the company private in 2007.
Like Realogy, Re/Max is partly owned by a private equity fund. But Re/Max's investors -- Weston Presidio -- have not piled much debt on the agency.
Re/Max's founders, husband and wife Gail and Dave Liniger, still own a majority of the company. According to the SEC filing, they will retain a majority of voting control.
Re/Max was hit hard by the real estate bust. Its agent count dropped from 120,000 at its peak to 90,000 currently. The company derives roughly 40% of its revenues from fixed fees that franchisees pay for agents on their staff. The rest comes from a mix of annual dues and fees tied to real estate sales.
Still, Re/Max managed to return to profitability in the past few years, despite only a modest increase in revenues since 2010. After reporting losses in 2010, profits jumped to $24 million in 2011 and $33 million in 2012.
Another sign of the fiery real estate market: Just this week, the online real estate website Zillow spent $50 million on the website StreetEasy to bulk up its listings in New York City.

Our view: On hot days: More respect
We've escaped the oppressive heat so far this summer — and, for the most part, the poor decisions made by people desperate to cool off and the tragedies and near-tragedies that too often follow poor decisions. Recent Junes, Julys and Augusts have been marred by news of Northlanders drowning, cases of hypothermia and the need for daring water rescues.

I'm not to sure you need my biography, but I can tell you where my inspiration comes from. It comes from seeing something for the first time, meeting someone new, seeing a old friend, hearing a story, telling a story, hitting the road on my own, hitting the road with my wife and kids, knowing where I am, knowing who was here before, taking a picture, taking a moment, taking a breath.

Selig Discusses MLB Suspensions As MLBPA Files Appeal On Behalf Of Rodriguez
Published August 8, 2013
PLAYING DURING THE APPEAL: In N.Y., Ken Davidoff notes Rodriguez by appealing the suspension is "increasing the likelihood he will be in a Yankees uniform for the duration of this season." The next step will come when MLB and the MLBPA "meet and determine a date for the hearing" (N.Y. POST, 8/8). The GLOBE & MAIL's Tom Maloney writes both MLB and the MLBPA "may have incentive to encourage a settlement" in Rodriguez' case. While the process is "confidential, so was baseball's investigation and it sprung widespread media leaks" (GLOBE & MAIL, 8/8). CBSSPORTS.com's Jon Heyman wrote MLBPA Exec Dir Michael Weiner "shouldn't be blamed here." The union is "cooperating to try to rid the game of drugs under his watch, and he should be commended for that after years of stonewalling from the previous union leadership" (CBSSPORTS.com, 8/7).
BAD SHOW: An Albany TIMES UNION editorial stated it is "pathetic" to watch Rodriguez behave "more like a crafty criminal defendant than a once-awesome ballplayer." The editorial: "Baseball isn't a court. The niceties of civil liberties and due process, so essential in the real world, have a more limited application. It's credibility beyond all suspicion that needs to prevail, not guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That means a demonstrable absence of cheating on the scale that steroids and other drugs allow" (TIMESUNION.com, 8/7).

So I'm looking to buy a mill in the next few months and I'm wondering what is the best one to buy. I'm looking for a two roller mill that I'll be motorizing. So far the Crankenstein 2A looks like the best one. It is fully adjustable and looks to have a gear between the rollers so they roll at the same rate and prevent shearing.
What is your favorite mill and why?
Well it's not the Barley Crusher. Mine is worn out. I've only brewed about 1000 gallons with it. I want a MM3.
I have one of these, and the weakest link is always the motor you hook it up too. This thing crushes like crazyMaltMill, grain mill
I have adjustable model
IMO, Monster Brewing Hardware makes ass-kicking mills. I have the MM2-2.0 and can't imagine using anything less. It wasn't cheap, but I feel I got a bargain anyway. With the hardened rollers option, I have confidence it will outlast the C&S (unhardened) rollers by a healthy margin. I went with the 2" rollers so that the crush would be better. IMO, the only thing that could beat/best my mill is the MM3-2.0 model.
I also ordered their base, hopper and hopper extension all at the same time. The monster holds up to 39 POUNDS of grain in the hopper (as I have it) at a time. Plus, it has a 1/2" shaft for a drill to connect to (or motor). My 18v DeWalt cordless goes to it without issue.
Something else, customer support/service from Monster is top notch in my experience. That's another reason I'd buy from them again, or can so readily recommend them. Plus, Fred is a member of these boards, so he takes care of HBT members (or at least it feels that way). You can email/PM him questions and he'll advise you as to which model, and options, will do the job for you. I did that before making my purchase. I went over the top a bit, but I have the confidence in the mill that it will be going strong when I'm taking a dirt nap.
I can't say it's my favorite - it's the only mill I've had, so I can't compare - but I like my Malt Mill, because it's solidly built and has worked without any fuss or muss since I bought it three years ago.
I had a Barley Crusher before and the MM2-2.0 makes that one seem like a toy. It also dwarfs my brew-buddy's C&S (1.25" rollers I believe, 5" long, 3/8" drive shaft) mill.
If you don't want to spend the funds to get one mill that will last forever, that's fine. I would just be prepared to (at some point) to replace it. The BC was ok for me (only a scant 7# hopper) for several batches. I grew tired of refilling it. I'd have to refill even their larger hopper (15#) for most of my batches.
BTW, the hopper from Monster is thich sheet metal, that's got precise holes (via a freakin laser I believe) that you could probably beat someone to death with. Of course, the mill could cave in a car windshield with a single toss too. It's hefty...
Any feedback on the Rebel Brewer mill? I've been considering that one but it's been out of stock for a while. The Monster Mills look real nice but I don't want to spend more than $200.
A few people have the rebel mill and have reported on it in a thread in the vendor section. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f41/all-...65/index8.html
Mine is being delivered today, I'll let you know my thoughts once I get it.

On Tap: Red Skies at Night, LHB Blond Ale, 224? Suburban Wheat Ale
