Kessil A360 Series LED Pendant Now with Neptune Apex Control
Waveline DC Controllable Pumps
By now, you may have heard about the Waveline DC series controllable pumps. Waveline is currently manufacturing the very popular DC3000, DC5000 and DC10000 controllable direct current pumps but there is something new in the works that we would like to share with you.
Waveline is currently developing their new series of DC controllable pumps. These models are similar to the current models but with some upgraded features and specs. First, lets take a look at the specifications of the current models:
DC-5000 Specifications:
- Input: DC24V 2.5A (converted by AC100-240V 50/60 Hz)
- Wattage: 40 Watts a full speed.
- Water Flow Rate: 5000 Liters Max (1320 gallons per hour)
- Water Flow Height: Max: 3 meters/9.8 feet
- Dimensions: 162mm x 104mm x 128mm
DC-10000 Specifications:
- Input: DC24V 5A (converted by AC100-240V 50/60 Hz)
- Wattage: 85 Watts a full speed.
- Water Flow Rate: 10,000 Liters Max (2640 gallons per hour)
- Water Flow Height: Max: 5 meters/16.4 feet
- Dimensions: 188mm x 104mm x 128mm
DC-3000 Specifications:
- Input: DC24V (converted by AC100-240V 50/60 Hz)
- Wattage: 30
- Water Flow Rate: 3000 Liters Max (900 gallons per hour)
- Water Flow Height: 6'
Ok, why come out with different options for an already exceptional pump? Well here are some reason:
1. The Waveline DC6000, 12000 and 20000 (yes 20,000 liters per hour or 5280 GPH max flow) now offer 1-10 volt connectivity to your favorite aquarium controller (for us that's the Neptune Apex) via 2 x RJ45 jacks master and and slave signals. With 2 signals multi...Read More
Meet the Orphek PR72 Dimmable Reef Pendent
Meet the new PR72 Dimmable Reef LED Pendant from Orphek. The Orphek PR72 family of LED Pendants was developed with the goal of growing beautiful corals in smaller aquariums, refugiums, and coral frag tanks without relying on energy wasting metal halide or low PAR florescent tubes all the while having a small form factor.
Orphek decided to select the same LEDs used for their PR156XP and Nilus Pendants, thus duplicating the PUR lighting spectrum beneficial and necessary for growing many species of corals, clams, and anemones. The highly efficient and reliable Mean Well LED Drivers used on their PR156XP and DIF series pendants are being utilized on the PR72 Pendant. The Orphek PR72 Pendant will produce Higher PAR/PUR levels and plenty of PAR/PUR for growing all types of corals because the light energy is concentrated on the needed and desirable PUR spectrum while eliminating LEDs that emit non essential wavelengths.
Through Orphek's endless experimentation with LEDs and corals, they have created an affordable LED Pendant for smaller systems or larger shallow systems where multiple LED units are used.
Orphek is utilizing diffused LED lenses which spreads light coverage while keeping high PAR/PUR levels for coral health and growth.
One of the nicest features of the Orphek PR72 pendant is the plug and play connectivity to your favorite aquarium controller. The dimmable Mean Well LED Driver will allow the user to configure the PR72 to work with most digital controllers currently on t...Read More

MaxSpect Razor Nano R420R Coming Soon
Maxspect has leaked the new images of the forthcoming MaxSpect Razor Nano R420R LED fixture.
The Maxspect Razor Nano R420R LED is coming in with a single LED cluster found on the original razors. We expect the same color options as the 120 watt and 160 watt versions but no word on that just yet. The Razor Nano LED will have the identical built in controller that mama and pappa bear razor fixtures have.
The overall dimentions of the actual fixture are 10.5" x 8.5". and the fixture comes in at 60 watts. The Nano Razor light spread hasn't been published yet but based on the data we have for the 160 and 120 watt Razor and it looks as though this fixture will cover a nano cube perfectly or 2 side by side units over a longer aquarium.
The Maxspect Razor Nano R420R doesn't require active cooling and it will rely on is passive cooling from the built in "wing heat sink" design shared by the 120 and 160 watt fixtures. Maxspect has decided they are not going to distinguish the fixtures as 10K, or 16K on the Nano Razor since the name is really a misnomer to begin with. There will be one model and the adjustability of the light channels will allow you to program the Kelvin temperatures between 6000 K and 16,000 K throughtout the days photo period.
The Maxspect Razor Nano comes with a built-in adjustable tank mount arm that clamps directly to the aquarium glass. The tank adjustable mount is included with the razor but the retractable mounting arm is removable in the event that you would ...Read More
Sunbrite F Series V2 LED Fixtures
This article will discuss the specifications and features for this fixture and why it might be the right fixture for your reef aquarium.
First, let's discuss aesthetics. The body of the Sunbrite F series V2 is a simply elegant, feature rich design. The fixture doesn't attract attention away from the aquarium nor does it "junk up" the top of your aquarium with crazy mounting hardware or railings. Some LED mounting systems can look a little out of place over an aquarium, especially if you are looking to have a free standing, open top setup (aquarium without a traditional canopy that encloses the lighting). If a canopy is what you have then this is not an issue the the look is clean either way. If a free standing, open top setup is what you are shooting for, then the Sunbrite F Series V2 should be on your list of LED fixtures to consider. At this time, the fixture is only available in a black finish. For mounting, there are two ways to mount the fixture: removable mounting legs and an adjustable hanging kit for suspension from overhead. The mounting legs are included with each fixture and the hanging kit is sold separately.
Next, lets talk about WiFi. The built in WiFi connectivity is located in the Sunbrite F series V2 power supply driver box. To connect the fixture to WiFi, you will need to simpl...
Eliminating or Reducing Aiptasia with Mother Nature
As many marine aquarists know, Aiptasia or glass anemones, as some people like to refer to them, are an aquarium pest that we all dread seeing in our beloved aquariums. This article will explore some of the ins and outs of the different methods of biologically/naturally removing aiptasia from the reef aquarium.
Aqua Illumination's Wireless Controller just got better
Here's some exciting news from Aqua Illumination regarding their new wireless controller. After listening to customer feedback and suggestions, Aqua Illumination recently announced the release of a major revision to their New Controller firmware that I happened to install yesterday over our new Vega reef tank. This new update offers a long list of new options, including support for the custom AI PowerPucks (coming out in the near future - more on that in a later article), wireless operation for SOL and Nano modules using the wireless adapter, a global regional timer to mimic sunrise/sunset times of major coral reefs, and much more. This firmware update is, of course, free to everyone who owns the New Controller and it is currently available to download from the AquaIllumination website.
One of the slickest features we like are the fail safe Vega dim down and the global region timers that simulate the light schedule of major reefs around the world. Although the reef sunlight schedule is not a must have for healthy coral growth it has been show that spawning can occur under lighting conditions that more closely mimic the suns patterns.
The fail safe dim down of the AI Vega is particularly important to prevent coral burning if the modules lose wireless communications. The other really cool feature, which AI calls Global Region Timers, is useful for aquarists looking to recreate natural lighting as close to nature as possible. The firmware upgrade mimics lighting conditions in ...Read More
The New Innovative Marine MiniMax is more MAX than mini
If you desire the highest water quality but are frustrated with some of the media reactors on the market then meet the all new Innovative Marine MiniMax All-In-One Media Reactor. The MiniMax All-In-One Media Reactor is a novel approach to optimize chemical and biological filtration for nano & mini marine aquariums, something that has typically been lacking with an out of the box plug and play type product. The innovative Patent Pending design minimizes the need for flexible tubes, pvc pipes, ball valves, thumb screws, and unnecessary clutter that are usually associated with typical media reactors. The ingenious design maximizes performance and offers out of the box responsive flow control, easy maintenance, low power consumption, and the smallest form factor ever built which is necessary to fit within the Nuvo Series filter compartments. The versatile MiniMax is designed to be discreetly hidden behind All-In-One Aquariums or placed directly in other brands of aquarium sumps.
The MiniMax Desktop All-In-One Media Reactor is designed to fit into the Innovative Marine Nuvo Pico 4 and Nuvo Nano 8 aquarium filtration compartment and the MiniMax Mid Size All-In-One is designed for the Nano 16, Micro 30 and Mini 38 Innovative Marine Aquariums but it can also be used in other brands of aquariums and sumps as well. Coupled with the Innovative Marine Skimmate series protein skimmers is going to close the chain link for desktop and mini aquarium filtration.

Pipeline operator,
TC PipeLines LP
), announced weaker-than-expected second-quarter earnings. The
results were impacted by a significant increase in general and
administrative expenses along with decreased equity earnings from
Great Lakes.
The Calgary, Alberta-based master limited partnership (MLP)
reported earnings per unit (EPU) of 40 cents, missing the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of 52 cents. Comparing year over year,
earnings fell 33.3% from a profit of 60 cents.
Distribution & Cash Flows
TC PipeLines announced second-quarter 2013 cash distribution of
81 cents per unit ($3.24 per unit annualized), which has
increased 3.8% from both the previous quarter as well as the
year-ago period. This will be paid on Aug 14, 2013 to unitholders
of record as of Aug 5, 2013.
The total partnership cash flows during the quarter was down
19.2% to $42.0 million as compared to the year-ago period. The
decrease was mainly on account of lower cash distributions from
TC PipeLines' interests in the Northern Border and the Great
TC PipeLines distributed $43.0 million during the quarter, up
2.4% from the year-ago level, driven by a rise in the quarterly
distribution relative to the second quarter of 2012.
Great Lakes' Performance
The partnership had no equity earnings from Great Lakes in this
quarter in comparison with $8.0 million in the year-ago period.
The decline is due to the sale of the capacity of the Great Lakes
at a lower rate compared to the second quarter of the previous
General and administrative Expenses
TC PipeLines reported general and administrative expenses of $4.0
million, representing 100% increase from $2.0 million in the
year-ago period.
As of Jun 30, 2013, TC PipeLines had no balance outstanding on
the $500.0 million revolver portion of its senior credit
facility. The partnership has long-term debt (including current
portion) of $376.0 million, representing a debt-to-capitalization
ratio of 18.6%.
Zacks Rating
The partnership currently retains a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). This
implies that it is expected to perform in line with the broader
U.S. equity market over the next one to three months.
With investments in low-risk energy infrastructure assets, TC
PipeLines has been able to provide stable cash distributions.
Moreover, TC PipeLines' acquisition of additional 45% interests
in each of the two major U.S. gas pipelines - Gas Transmission
Northwest LLC and Bison Pipeline LLC from parent TransCanada
Corp. - is expected to help TC Pipelines to earn significant
distributable cash flows in the near future.
However, MLPs (like TC PipeLines) typically depend on equity and
debt markets for financial growth. Thus, market issues such as
the recent subprime crisis, which hindered access to the
debt/equity markets, will impact the MLPs' growth prospects.
Meanwhile, there are certain oil and gas production pipeline MLPs
in the energy sector that are expected to perform well in the
coming one to three months. These include
Delek Logistics Partners LP
Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners LP
) and
Summit Midstream Partners LP
). All three stocks currently sport a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Mortgage REITs (MORT) catch the eye of D.C., with the Financial Stability Oversight Council reportedly set to cite the industry as a potential source of market vulnerability. The companies have seen assets quadruple to over $400B since 2009, but Annaly (NLY) CEO Wellington Denahan notes their capital bases have risen as well. A Two Harbors (TWO) presentation (page 8) shows mREITs are relatively small players in the MBS market. Maybe the Fed and the GSEs just don't like the competition. Annaly and American Capital (AGNC) are the 2 biggest mREITs, with Two Harbors a distant 3rd. [View news story]

Preheat your bbq.
To make the preserved lemon salsa, remove the rind only from the preserved lemon with a sharp knife (leave all pith behind). Cut the rind into a very fine dice and place in a bowl. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the bowl. Add the juice of 1 fresh lemon, a good splash of olive oil, a tiny pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Mix and set aside.
To prepare the quails, remove the wing tips and neck, and butterfly them gently by splitting them down the backbone.
To prepare the chicken, remove the breast (keeping the breast plate in tact) and cut each into 2. Remove the legs and thighs and cut each piece into 2.
Prepare the duck in the same way.
Cut the turkey breast into 3 even slices.
Coat all pieces of poultry liberally in the chermoula.
Place the poultry skin side down on the char grill of your bbq and cook until just done and well coloured. Remove them to a warm place to rest.
Pile all the barbecued poultry onto a large platter, add a squeeze of lemon juice and a liberal serving of both preserved lemon and harissa.

Retired Coal Miners' Health Benefit Funds:
Financial Challenges Continue
GAO-02-243: Published: Apr 18, 2002. Publicly Released: May 20, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8942
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
More than 100,000 retired coal miners and their spouses and dependents in 1992 faced a potential decrease in their employment-related health insurance coverage or loss of such coverage altogether. Some former employers had stopped mining coal or gone out of business and were no longer contributing to the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) retiree benefit funds. To ensure that these individuals would continue to receive the health benefits specified in previous collective bargaining agreements reached with coal companies, often gained in exchange for lower pensions, Congress enacted the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (Coal Act). The Coal Act replaced the existing UMWA benefit funds with the Combined Benefit Fund (CBF) and the 1992 Benefit Plan. These funds' benefits requires less cost sharing by beneficiaries and provides more extensive coverage than benefit packages offered by the major manufacturing companies and companies with unionized workforces. However, the extent of coverage is generally comparable. The cost of health care for the funds' beneficiaries in 1999 was about 29 percent higher than for demographically similar Medicare beneficiaries with employer-sponsored insurance. The funds' officials have attempted to control costs largely through approaches that do not reduce or limit the benefits for beneficiaries, do not increase beneficiary cost-sharing requirements, or that have a minimal impact on beneficiaries.

An alder body with a mahogany top and an artist 10 option
A maple neck with a rosewood fretboard option
A wide variety of finishes with a custom option
A three-way toggle with individual coil taps for each pickup
A choice of tremelo and stoptail bridges

Could everybody get excited about alder being the designated characteristic of what a new CE line would be all about?
What if the new artist package options were available for the new CE?
I wondered what happened to the Goldtop...I have looked at that guitar almost everyday since it arrived in '06. I too almost bought it about 20 times.!
I own a 2002 CE 22, and I LOVE that guitar. That being said, one of the things I like about CE's is that you can find them for a fraction of what some of the other PRS's go for, so I'd like to see it kept in a lower price point. If I were going to do it, I say:
-Standard bolt on maple neck
-Rosewood or maple board option
-CE unique inlays, as opposed to old birds or new birds, something exclusive.
-Those cool faux bone buttons like on the DGT
-Flat black headstock cover like the older CE's.
-Volume/Tone, 3 way switch and x2 mini toggles like the 408 for coil splitting
-Whatever pickups suit the guitar best, I'd lean towards the 59/09's myself.
-Classic hardware look, without the hybrid gold/silver thing
-Mahogany body, and a plain maple top(I still think plain maple is beautiful, and I imagine that would help keep the price point down)
Some starting points!
I got blisters on these fingers.

I'm in:
Alder back
Solid color maple top (black, white, seafoam)
Pattern Regular maple neck
24 fret rosewood board/black headstock or maple board/maple headstock, both with dots
visible side markers
Phase IIs or IIIs
59/09s or 59/09 bridge, VB neck
vol, push/pull tone, 3-way metal toggle
7.5-8.0 lbs
Price would be paramount. The only reason I got into PRS was I found a USA model that I could actually afford - a used '97 CE24. Price it too high and I've got no interest. I've owned 4 over the years (still have 2) and they have all been outstanding.
Reading through the thread I did'nt realize CE's were available with a 10 top. Did PRS put "10" on the headstock like they did on the CU models? Here are a couple pics of my '01 CE22, looks close to a 10 top to me but no "10" on the headstock...

FILE - This Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012 file photo shows a medical marijuana plant at a dispensary in Seattle. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File)
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — As New Hampshire lawmakers consider a bill that would legalize up to an ounce of marijuana for adults, the state Health Department is drawing attention to research showing high marijuana use among 12-to-17-year-olds.
The information— based on the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health — shows that about one in 10 adolescents in New Hampshire report regular use of marijuana, the ninth highest in the country. The state rate for 18-to-25-year-olds is the fifth highest in the country.
The study says the percentage of those who perceived great risk in using marijuana at least once a month is lower than national and regional averages.
It also says in 2012, 80 percent of 12-to-17-year-olds who entered state-funded treatment facilities sought treatment for marijuana dependence.

game was interesting to say the least. While the movement wasn't great the stragedy was impressive. the one problem this game has is that the LAN games do not increase the XP, which it should. while I was playing I also noticed that the money was the exact same when I died. I never got more or less money for killing people. Whats up with that? but any ways it was a very enlightening about how shadows can hide holes in walls and other such stuff. But it will definitly give a new look about how the world interacts with itself.
