Desires for this project: 1. Batch sizes from 2.5-10 gallons 2. Small footprint 3. Able to brew indoors all year round 4. Simple 5. Transition to all grain brewing 6. Majority stainless steel parts 7. Under $1000 After researching on these forums for about 9 months, and continuing to develop my brewing with extract brewing, the phase 1 portion of the build is complete. To meet desire 1, I decided that I was going to have two systems running off of a common control box. In order to minimize the footprint of the system I went with a modified version of a brutus 20e setup. The electric system allows me to keep things simple and brew indoors. I have broken the build into two phases. The first phase is to make an operational 2.5 gallon system. Once the kinks are worked out, I will move into phase 2 and build out a second two tanks (15.5 gallon keggles) which will share the control box and expand my options to 5 and 10 gallon batches. Phase 1 started with deciding what kind of tanks I wanted. I knew I wanted stainless steel, but things were a little too expensive for the build to buy new pots. In the end, I made the kettle and the MLT out of Cornelius kegs that were going to the scrap yard. I cut the top off and removed the rubber bottom (a huge pain in the ass) to make my tanks. Fittings are all stainless steel and are inserted using a variant of GreenMonti's keg tool. Once the fittings were in place I used some StayBrite #8 to solder them in place. It worked beautifully. On the boil kettle, I also used the StayBrite solder to attach the two 1" NPS nuts to the kettle. The keg tanks are small enough that using them like everyone else does was not going to give me a good seal. The drain for the BK is off to one side to allow for draining after a whirlpool. It is a full coupler to allow me to screw in different height tubes and vary the amount of things I leave behind. Tank 1 after taking off the top and bottom Keg tool on its first run The drain port for the BK and the 1/4" NPT RTD port The two 1500W elements (two were used because neither could be over 7.5" long). Inside of the BK Potted elements and the grounding posts. The two pumps are in the background. Electric box: PID and two pump switches up top. Two 120V elements on the left, two pumps next to them, and a 240V outlet for phase 2. The cord coming in and the GFCI circuit it attaches to are rated for 240V 50A. Control box internal layout before the wire nest went in The MLT was constructed in the same way with a center drain as the only fitting. JayBird made a custom false bottom for the system and it is a perfect fit and excellent work. A brew day goes as follows: 1. Setup the brewery. This takes about 5 to 7 minutes from totally torn apart to ready to fill. 2. Put all of the water into the BK and heat to mash in temperatures. With 3 kW this takes about 20 minutes. The PID controller works like a charm after tuning. I usually measure out things at this point. 3. Recirculate the MLT back onto itself until clear. I typically do this for about 3 minutes and it runs beautifully clear. 4. Cross recirculate keeping 1 gallon in the boil kettle, using the BK as a sort of RIMS system. The last iodine test I did had this at about 40 minutes for an American Amber. Since it is cross recirculating, I don't really worry about much. 5. When conversion is complete, pump everything into the BK. I then unhook the hose on the bottom of the MLT and let it continue draining into a mason jar under the system to collect everything. The amber that just got done had a grain absorption of .04 qts/lb. 6. Boil as normal. I switch into manual and it works like a charm. 7. Cool the wort using a mixture of hose water and then ice in the MLT while whirlpooling. I start out with hose water and then switch to pumping ice water around the IC from the MLT and back in the top. 8. Whirlpool. I pull out the IC and whirlpool for just a minute and then cap it and leave it for 30 minutes. Last time I did this I got some break material, but left a whole lot of it behind. 9. Pump into the fermenter . Pretty easy. This is during the first full wet test of the system and tuning of the PID The American Amber that I did as my first all grain batch and my first batch on the new system was a 4 hour brew day after clean up. It was a nice easy day and nothing went terribly wrong. My one comment is that it will take some tuning of my skills to get a really constant volume in the boil kettle given that I am balancing two pumps. This was much easier on the second batch. I also determined that I am running about a 5F differential between what I set the boil kettle at and what the grain bed is. Mash out is achieved from 154 in about 10 minutes. I also now measure volume using marking on the tank and an excel spreadsheet that takes the marking and the temperature and gives me the volume. the silicone hoses are used as the sight gage. If I hold one up, the water inside the tube equalizes with the internal level; it works well and fast without an additional port or tube. I don't have the spreadsheet in front of me right now, but total system cost for phase 1 came in between $800 and $900 including the pound of StayBrite 8 and the tools I didnt have, which for the electric system is not too bad in my opinion. The overall footprint of the system without the control box is 20"x14" and it is 3' tall. It is light enough that I can easily pick up the entire assembled rig and move it around. I will be able to complete phase 2 for $150. I just need to go and find $150 now. Phase 2 will work exactly the same way but be made out of two 15.5 gallon keggles. It will probably happen this fall after I renovate the garage to become my brewery. When the garage is done, I will also probably redo the stand to something that looks a little nicer and brings the system up a little higher. The two tank sets will be setup next to each other and the pumps and control box placed in the middle to be shared. For now, though, it works well and is fun to use. Just thought I would share…
And finally the second installment: The first thing to report is that the old system is doing well. It has brewed a few more batches and some things are being ironed out. The only major issue that I ran into was balancing the pumps between the two tanks during recirculation. At some point during the recirc, something cause a decrease of flow into the boil kettle. Within a few seconds, the water level dropped below the top element and it ended up burning out. Not cool. After a lot of thinking, the way I decided to change the system, was to make it a 2-tier system. The upper tank (BK) now drains into the lower tank (MLT) through a side port located about 1" above the top element. This means that the BK water level cannot drop below the elements, and that I only have one pump to work with through recirculation. It is a step towards a more fail safe system and eliminates the hassle of balancing pumps in the lower end of their usable range. I have also changed out the hose barbs, but more on that later... On to the second phase of the build. The second phase of this build is to flesh out the following build desires for this project: 1. Batch sizes from 2.5-10 gallons 3. Able to brew indoors all year round 4. Simple The addition to the system is made of sanke kegs. They have been prepared by cutting the top off, and then drilling, pulling, and soldering fittings in place. It is essentially identical to the last system in the setup and fittings since it has been altered. Here the systems can be seen next to eachother without any pumps or plumbing. This is the arm that takes beer from above the BK elements and delivers it to the MLT. During recirc, the valve just gets opened to full. This is the MLT with a false bottom from Jaybird. It works great. The copper is the IC, and is just hanging there to dry. This is the BK. There are two elements. It is setup for two elements. In the photo it is setup for 5 gallon batches and only the large element is hooked up. You can see the drain port to the right and the temp probe at the bottom. Here is an overall setup shot. you can see it plumbed and pumped. The pumps will be mounted a little better when I decide on final placement. The Immersion Chiller is hanging there to dry. You can also see that they are in the new garage. I love brewing with AC. Winter will be even better. The next two photos of the setup are the whirlpool arm for spinning the wort at the end. I will probably change out the 45 degree ends for 90s in order to get a better whirlpool. One other change for the big system was redoing the hose barbs. I machined a few pipe nipples down and replaced all of the hose barbs on the systems and the pumps. It makes a HUGE difference in flow rate. And here you can see the difference in cross sectional area of the ID between the machined nipple and a proper hose barb. The hoses fit on both just fine. And finally one last photos of the partially setup fermentation area. And finally, a walk through the brew process. A brew day goes as follows: 1. Setup the brewery. 2. Put all of the water into the BK and heat to mash in temperatures. With one element for 5 gallons and two for 10 kW this takes about 20 minutes. The PID controller works like a charm after tuning. I usually measure out things at this point and crush the grain. 3. Open up the side valve on the kettle, place in the grain, and mash in. 4. Recirculate the MLT back onto itself until clear. I typically do this for about 3 minutes and it runs beautifully clear. 5. Cross recirculate. This involves setting the rate for the pump moving things from the MLT to the BK, and then opening the side valve on the BK wide open. I can walk away, and even if the pump gets clogged, nothing bad happens. 6. When mashing is completed, I move to a quick mash out and then pump everything into the BK. 7. Boil as normal. I switch into manual at 60% for one element and 30% for two and get a perfect 1 gallon per hour. 8. Cool the wort using a mixture of hose water and then ice in the MLT while whirlpooling. I start out with hose water and then switch to pumping ice water around the IC from the MLT and back in the top. 8. Whirlpool. I pull out the IC and whirlpool for just a minute and then cap it and leave it for 30 minutes. Last time I did this I got some break material, but left a whole lot of it behind. 9. Pump into the fermenter. The Scottish 60/- that is now fermenting took me 4 hours and 30 minutes from turning on the water to walking away after clean up. I am pretty sure that I can get that easily below 4 hours for a 60 minute boil, single infusion beer. There is no lifting of water, I can step away at any point if I have to, and it is a pleasure to use. I caught up on email and prepared my fermenter while it worked away on its own. The next step is to redo the control box. It is a little ugly inside that box and I am going to make it easier to work on in the future as I try out new things and increase the levels of automation with a BrewTroller. I hope this is helpful to someone. Just let me know if you have any questions. Joshua

How are you going to get 10G batches out of 2 5G kegs?
I am not going to. The second phase of the build is to make two new tanks out of 15.5 gallon keggles. The same control box and the two pumps will be used for both sets of tanks. I put an edit above to clarify.
gotchya Cool setup you got going.
looks great. i have been piecing together parts for a 15g e-keggle system, but i have been doing a lot of small brews (2.5 gal) because i'm in a small apartment. great idea to use cornies. what did you use to cut the tops? are those LG 3-md-hc pumps? lets see the wire nest! haha
Quagmire: "lets play drink the beer!"Peter: "what do i get if i win?" Quagmire: "another beer!"Peter: "Oh man, i'm going for the high score!"
Thanks. I was actually surprised when I thought of it that more people had not used the cornies. The bottoms were hard to get off. In fact, that was the worst part of the whole build. I used an angle grinder and a thin cutting disk to take off the top. Those are the LG pumps. I got a nice deal on them about 5 days before the prices on ebay started to drift up. I dont actually have a photo of the wire nest because it is pathetic and embarrassing. I am actually going to redo the control box eventually. I want a pair of 240V outlets at some point so I can put 9000W into the large BK. I figure why not for another $40.
I was just going to ask if you wouldn't mind posting a pick of the wiring. I'm planning my build, very similar to this, with full kegs, and would like to see how you pulled the wiring. Very cool build. Since I am doing your phase 2 first, I just might do this in reverse and create a perfect small batch system for variety in the fridge. Great ideas.

Kehinde Babatunde "Victor" Oladipo (born May 4, 1992)[1] is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Oladipo played college basketball with the Hoosiers of Indiana University. In 2013, he was named the Sporting News Men's College Basketball Player of the Year, the National Co-Defensive Player of the Year, and a first-team All-American by the USBWA and Sporting News. That same year, he was also named the recipient of the Adolph Rupp Trophy, given annually to the top player in men's Division I NCAA basketball.[2] Oladipo was drafted with the second overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft and went on to be named to the NBA All-Rookie first team.
Oladipo was born in Silver Spring, Maryland and raised in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.[3] His mother Joan Amanze Oladipo is a nurse and Nigerian immigrant, and his father Christopher Oladipo, a native of Blama, Sierra Leone, is public health executive for Prince George's County, Maryland with a Ph.D in behavioral science from the University of Maryland, College Park. Oladipo's parents married in the U.S. in 1985.[4][5] He is the only son; he has sisters Kristine (1986), Kendra (1990),[6] and twin sister Victoria. [7] His sister Kendra is deaf.[8] Oladipo played high school basketball at DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Maryland.[9][4] As a senior he averaged 11.9 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game. He led DeMatha to a 32-4 record and the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference and City championships. Oladipo was named to the Washington Post 2010 All-Met First Team and the First Team All-WCAC. He was ranked No. 144 overall and the No. 41 shooting guard in his class by Rivals.com. Scout.com listed him as the No. 39 shooting guard in his class and ESPN put him at No. 53 at his position.[10]

Oladipo chose to play basketball at Indiana University and major in sports communication broadcast, turning down offers from Notre Dame, Maryland, Xavier and others.[11] Upon his commitment to Indiana he said, "It's like a basketball atmosphere everywhere you go....[Bloomington, Indiana is] a basketball town. That's perfect."[12]
As a freshman during the 2010–11 season, Oladipo played in 32 games and started five. He earned his first career start that year against Penn State and scored 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting, four rebounds, three steals and two assists in 27 minutes of action. He made his second career start against No. 2 The Ohio State and responded with 14 points and six rebounds.
As a sophomore during the 2011–12 season Oladipo averaged 10.9 points and 5.5 rebounds in 26.7 minutes per game (47.1% FG, 75% FT). Some commentators referred to him as Indiana's "most improved player this season" and he was often cited as the team's best defender.[13] Oladipo scored 10 or more points in 21 games in the season, 11 more games than the previous year. He also increased his free-throw percentage from 61 to 75, and he got there four times per game. The Hoosiers' record in 2011-2012 improved by fifteen games over the prior season, making it the largest single turnaround in the NCAA that year. The team earned a number four seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament and defeated New Mexico State in the second round. After defeating VCU in the third round, the Hoosiers lost in the Sweet Sixteen to Kentucky, the eventual national champions.
As a junior during the 2012–13 season Oladipo emerged as one of the team's principal stars. Despite a roster deep with talent, including Preseason Player of the Year Cody Zeller, Oladipo emerged as one of the nation's biggest stars.[14] Midway through the season ESPN writer Eamonn Brenann wrote, "In 2½ seasons in Bloomington, Oladipo has morphed from a raw athletic specimen to a defensive specialist/energy glue guy -- he became a hit with IU fans for holding his hand in front of his face after dunks at home, typically after a steal he himself created -- into a sudden, stunning, bona fide collegiate star."[14] Due in part to Oladipo's leadership, the Indiana Hoosiers finished the 2012-13 season as the outright Big Ten champions.
At the end of the regular season Oladipo ranked fourth in the country in field-goal percentage (61.4), on pace to have the highest field-goal percentage by any guard since the 1996-97 season.[15] He ranked third in the nation in true shooting percentage (68.4), which measures shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, 3-point field goals and free throws. And he averaged 1.39 points per play and shot 73.9% on offensive rebound put-backs, both of which ranked among the top five in the country.[15]
On defense Oladipo was arguably even more dominating. In a game that season against #1 Michigan, he guarded four different players in 45 possessions, but only gave up 4 points.[16] Among Wooden Award finalists, he had the best net rating—which is the difference between points produced and points allowed per 100 possessions. Oladipo produced 42 more points than he allowed per 100 possessions.[15] Each game he drew the opponent's top perimeter player, and his 5 percent steal rate (2.2 per game) ranked 15th in the country. His 69 steals in the season is second all-time at Indiana to Isiah Thomas who had 74 during the 1980-81 national championship season.
He averaged 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game.[17] He was also one of only two players from major conferences averaging at least 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals per game this season.
At the conclusion of his junior year Oladipo racked up numerous awards. He was named the Sporting News Men's College Basketball Player of the Year, the National Co-Defensive Player of the Year, and a First Team 2013 All-American by the USBWA and Sporting News. In conference honors he was named a unanimous pick to the First Team All-Big Ten by both the coaches and media, and was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the year.[17]
On April 9, 2013, at a press conference with Tom Crean, Oladipo announced that he would forgo his senior season at Indiana and enter the 2013 NBA draft. He was projected as a lottery pick by ESPN and CBS Sports. Oladipo was invited to sit in the "green room" during the draft and was selected second overall by the Orlando Magic.
When the 2013 rookie class convened for its annual photo shoot and filled out its NBA.com Rookie Survey, the class voted Oladipo as the best defender, the co-favorite 2013–14 Rookie of the Year (with C. J. McCollum), the co-favorite to have the best career (with Kelly Olynyk) and second most athletic (behind Tony Mitchell).[18]
On December 3, 2013, Oladipo recorded his first triple-double with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in 52 minutes in a 125-126 double overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Rookie Michael Carter-Williams of the 76ers also recorded his first career triple-double in the same game, marking the first and only time in NBA history that two rookies have recorded triple-doubles in the same game.[19] The last time that two players had recorded their first career triple-doubles in the same game was when Detroit Pistons Donnie Butcher and Ray Scott did it on March 14, 1964 (they were not rookies). It was also the first time that two opponents had recorded triple-doubles in the same game since Caron Butler and Baron Davis had done so on November 23, 2007.[20]
During the month of February, Oladipo had ended up participating in under both the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge and the Taco Bell Skills Challenge. For the Rising Stars Challenge, he was selected as a late player for Chris Webber's team, which was composed mostly of rookie players mixed in with two sophomore players, while the latter competition had him pairing up with rookie rival Michael Carter-Williams as one of four teams competing for the prize. The team both Oladipo and Carter-Williams were on was also the only team competing with two rookies in place.
On February 21, 2014, Oladipo recorded a career high 14 assists, along with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 1 steal, in a 129-121 double overtime victory over the New York Knicks.[21]
On October 24, 2014, Oladipo was ruled out indefinitely after suffering a facial fracture in practice the previous day.[22] Two days later, the Magic exercised their third-year team option on Oladipo's rookie scale contract, extending the contract through the 2015–16 season.[23] He made his return from injury on November 14 as he made his season debut against the Milwaukee Bucks. In 25 minutes off the bench, he recorded 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the 101-85 win.[24]

Oladipo is a shooting guard who is also capable of playing point guard.[25] Indiana coach Tom Crean would frequently attribute Oladipo's success to his extreme work ethic and pre-game preparation of reviewing film. Oladipo is known for entertaining fans with exciting dunks. As announcer Clark Kellogg noted, "Victor Oladipo is like a baby's bottom, smooth and sometimes... explosive."[26]
On offense, Oladipo is capable of aggressively and quickly driving to the basket, aided by unparalleled athletic leaping ability. Following a victory by Indiana over #1 ranked Michigan, coach John Beilein remarked, "I've seen a lot of players. I don't know whether I've seen one quicker or faster, more athletic, than Oladipo. It's tough to stay in front of him."[27] His offensive proficiency improved as his outside shooting range improved each year of his collegiate career.
On defense, Oladipo is a "lockdown off-ball defender who can defend multiple positions".[28] He has the quickness to guard point guards and the strength and athleticism to fight around a forward and get to a front if caught in a mismatch.[28] His athleticism and anticipation makes it hard to set a screen on him. He also does a great job of rebounding his position.[28]

Stealing Apples While Others Panic (Update 1)
(Updates story from 10:17 a.m. ET with information in the last two paragraphs.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Why wait to panic, let's do it now. The last thing we want is to be late in panicking, which might result in selling or shorting Apple (AAPL - Get Report) at a price other than the very bottom.
Maybe you were a little excited and bought near the top? It's not the time to repeat an emotional investing mistake and sell the bottom. That kind of investing is called buying high and selling low, the opposite of what you want to do.
I understand it's not easy to maintain a position while every other guest of CNBC is talking about Apple and answering questions about how long the selling will continue. CNBC did have a guest on after the market closed that if you missed, you'd wish you would have watched. I paid close attention to the price of Apple and CNBC after the financial show announced Tom DeMark with Market Studies was making an appearance.
I was especially interested in what DeMark would say because I was nearing the end of my research on this article. This article's primary catalyst was Apple's daily chart producing a TDCombo 13 today. I tweeted what I expected DeMark to say about Apple.Robert Weinstein@RobertWeinsteinWhen DeMark began speaking on "Fast Money," Apple was trading near $486 a share. By the time DeMark finished talking about Apple making an expected bottom either today or tomorrow, Apple moved up and over $490 a share, about 1% in a minute or two. Rocco Pendola wrote a must-read article about the latest Apple hit piece Something Is Terribly Wrong, Just Not With Apple. I expect more from The Wall Street Journal, and so should you. The good news is that you likely experienced the worst of the insane decline. Not because the Journal had it wrong, which I will get to in a moment, but because the stars are lining up in a buy direction for Apple. Fundamental analysis and chart-ased market-timing lead me to believe now is the time to add or enter into an Apple bullish position.
Thanks! RT @RobertWeinstein: $AAPL chart makes TD13. Not a buy signal, but I believe Apple selling pressure near end. Posed for move higher

"For satisfying evidence that the government really is on the case, try the FDA's Web site — http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/spinach.html"
Wow. They're "on the case"!
So, it seems the FDA is acting as reporter and collator of relevant statistics.
I bet the FDA can't tell someone with a case of the trots something they don't already know.
I bet it's comforting to know the FDA is "on the case" while they're "on the throne".
How about the FDA ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING to preclude a recurrence??

1. Shock or Disbelief
Congressional Republicans on Jobs Numbers: Don't Hit Send Yet!- wp.me/p4HKM-WwO
— CNN Political Ticker (@PoliticalTicker) February 3, 2012
So shocked were Congressional Republicans by the news that job growth had nearly doubled the amount expected that press releases—de rigueur for members on jobs report day—were delayed by nearly 40 minutes.
2) Denial
These comments, left on Rep. Allen West's Facebook page, are representative of the denial over the good jobs numbers.
3) Anger
Too easy.
4) Bargaining
You can't blame 'em for trying. The House GOP held a press conference Friday arguing that the report made it a perfect time to pick up on their jobs bill. "We can do better. The way to do better is for the Senate to take up the 27 jobs bills that are sitting in the United States Senate," Speaker John Boehner said. "The president asked us to work with him. We have worked with him. A lot of these bills he supports ... if the president really wants to get economy moving again, wants to improve his own chances for reelection, maybe he'll pick up the phone and call Senator Reid and ask Senate Democrats to get off their rear ends."
Couldn't find anything on this one. Weird.
6) Depression
@bdomenech Can't shake this sinking feeling that Obama's going to win even bigger than in 08.
— John McGuirk (@john_mcguirk) February 3, 2012
7) Acceptance and Hope
A rare, positive statement from Representative West:

NO TIME-LAPSE HERE. This is the first time I've ever seen a real-time video of the Aurora lights. Amazing!!!
Tag: motion
Somebody is doing the good work! Check out this motion stabilized version of the uber-shaky "home video" film known as Cloverfield. Yes, the entire movie.
NO TOUCHING! Not gonna lie though, I would buy one of these gesture-based keyboards if it ever goes on sale to the public.
I've posted videos and photos of Li Hongbo's paper sculptures before, but BoingBoing just posted a new one that I hadn't seen yet. Check out the slightly haunting video above.
I like watching these videos because they always look so weird at such an early stage in development. Full description inside.

Can anybody refer me to a good Joomla teacher, or even online tuition?
If you dont mind doing some hard work yourself i strongly recommend you the joomla book by packt publishers , its good book for begineers
Good luck with your experience with joomla
If you have not finalized the CMS for your website , i would also suggest you to have a look at drupal , its a good CMS and very easy to use and learn
The community is very active so post on the forum if you have questions but search there first.
have fun
I do agree with that.
Before you go through the documentations and the other lessons, see how much you can find for yourself. The good thing is, you might not easily forget what you really discover yourself. Then ofcourse, to be followed by a guide from the experts in that area.
I have many reservations on how to use Joomla and who should use it for what purpose, which I find many well-profiled customers requiring a custom built system depending on some CMSs like Joomla which are made for the wide variety of options.
Often I find myself removing/modifying the kind of features not required in a specific system, which could have been happily spent on working on what is needed.

Review by
Joshua from oak grove, MN
I have had this cd player in my car for like 8 months and I love it! I have my ipod hooked up to it and it is very easy to use. I also have it paired with my cell phone so my phone book can be accessed through the HU so I can just lock my cell in the glove box with my ipod to keep away the clutter. The only bad thing about this was trying to find a spot for the microphone which was a little large. You should totally get this!

Pedro from Marion, NC
I own a 5 speed car and i would get phone calls while i was shifting and kill the car. So i needed something with bluetooth but i had to be nice because i have upgraded speakers, 2 12" Type R subs with a D class amp and i needed the right head unit to really thump. After a year of ownership i have nothing but praise.

Review by
Chasten from Blue Springs, MO
The newer generations of pioneer are really coming around and still holding to their name as far as quality and features available. I bought this head unit and after doing so and riding with me already 3 of my other friends have bought the same one. The bluetooth is included easy to install and the Ipod connectivity and controls is full speed and easy to use. Although the unit does not have the 5v preouts or time corrections like my previous units it still has a great sound. Highly recommended.

CellCyte Genetics formed a new device division to develop, manufacture, and market its patented line of stem cell cultivation and replication devices. The company reports that it is designing stem cell enabling therapeutic products that allow more efficient delivery and increased retention of adult stem cells to diseased organs.
Along with its planned human trials for its therapeutics, CellCyte Genetics intends to develop a new stem cell cultivation device, or bioreactor unit. The company plans to market the device for applications that will require cells to be grown under regulated oxygen concentrations, e.g. the replication of stem cells and the culture of pancreatic islet cells prior to transplantation into diabetic patients.
"CellCyte's patented biological cell maintenance system has the unique ability to incubate cultured cells with a very efficient and regulatable oxygen supply, making it an ideal choice for culturing cells that are otherwise difficult to keep alive or to expand," explains Ron Berninger, CSO.
"The cells can also form a 3-dimensional network inside the bioreactor, which is what most cell types do in major organs of the body."

When will the ghosts and goblins be out?
Find below a list of the trick or treating hours for communities in southern Wisconsin:
Oct. 31
A free costume contest is just one event at a Halloween celebration at Henry Vilas Zoo next weekend.
Halloween at the Zoo is a free event to the public with a suggested donation of $2, and features free trick-or-treating and an activity tent, according to a release.
There will be five categories for the costume contest and the top three contestants will win prizes. The contest will be from 11 a.m. to noon in the center of the zoo. To enter the costume contest, participants will need to go to the costume contest stage across from the seals and fill out an entry form.
Organizers said the contest will end promptly at noon, but they will accept as many entries as they can. Participants will be judged on creativity, originality and authenticity.
The winners will be announced at 12:30 p.m. at the costume contest stage.
Costume contest prizes:
West side residents have a new place to play with their pups.
Walnut Grove Park officially opened Monday afternoon with an opening ball toss ceremony. The park at 202 N. Westfield Road is the eighth Dane County dog park.
Madison Parks Superintendent Eric Knepp said buying a pass for the park extends throughout the county.
Starting Monday, Walnut Grove Park, 202 N. Westfield Road, joins seven other parks in the city of Madison as locations for a fenced dog exercise area.
Everyone and their dogs are invited to join Mayor Paul Soglin, Madison Parks Superintendent Eric Knepp and the west side neighbors and dog owners for a special unveiling.
There will be an official 'ball toss' opening at 1:30 p.m. on Monday at the park.
"Madison Parks in committed to providing safe places for dogs and their owners to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. The city of Madison is proud to be ranked number 6 in the nation for off-leash dog parks by the Trust for Public Lands," said Knepp.
Click here to find out the dog park rules.
The cost of the Annual Permit is $30 and the daily permit is $5.
The annual Dane County Fire Chiefs Association Fire Truck Parade will take place Sunday, Oct. 5.
This popular event is held each year to mark the beginning of Fire Prevention Week in Dane County. The parade includes more than 30 fire trucks from many of the fire departments serving communities in Dane County.
The parade begins at 1 p.m. at the end of State St. near the Library Mall. The trucks, adorned with plenty of chrome and flashing red lights, will travel up State St. to the Capitol Square.
Once at the square, the fire trucks will be on display until 3 p.m. for children of all ages to see up close. Firefighters will be available to answer questions about fire safety. This year, the fire trucks on the square will be joined by the newly-rebuilt Fire Safety House, which has been visiting area schools as part of Fire Prevention Month activities.
State education officials say the majority of Wisconsin public schools and school districts meet or exceed expectations for student achievement.
The Madison Metropolitan School District was rated at 69.8, which is meeting expectations. That score is an improvement over last year's score of 68.5.
While Madison remained in the bottom third of districts statewide, it moved up from 11th to eighth among districts located in cities.
"As a school district, we've been very focused on the school improvement process. That means tightening up the process by which we set measurable goals for them to choose a few powerful strategies for meeting those goals and then consistently monitoring them along the way so they can make adjustments," MMSD Superintendent Jennifer Cheatham said. "We believe this is how you raise student achievement to narrow achievement gaps."
Madison?s Henry Vilas Zoo announced Wednesday that two new residents will be moving in as soon as their home in the zoo?s new Arctic Passage Exhibit is finished.
Zoo Director Ronda Schwetz said the new residents are two grizzly bears who are currently at the Bismark?s Dakota Zoo, in North Dakota.
The bears were born in the wild, and their mother and grandmother were nuisance bears, which mean they were too comfortable being around people. They broke into campsites, and the grandmother had to be relocated 11 times to keep her away from people.
Then the grandmother broke into and raided a pig farm and became too dangerous. Officials euthanized the mother and grandmother, leaving four cubs behind.
Madison will be helping the zoo in North Dakota out by taking two of the cubs. The bears don?t have names yet, but zoo officials hope the community will help them out with that.

City's Johnson left out by Fabio
Manchester City midfielder Adam Johnson has been left out of England's World Cup squad, although three City players do make Capello's final 23. Johnson had been named in the initial 30-man training squad for the friendlies against Mexico and Japan but has failed to make the plane for South Africa. Having been tipped for an outside bet for a place, Johnson played just five minutes against Mexico on his debut and did not appear in the game with Japan. His fellow winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has been selected by Capello, and will be joined in South Africa by City team-mates Joe Hart and Gareth Barry.

If you want it close when you really need it, having it locked in a locker won't do much good to cover all of the areas of the gym. I would get a lightweight BUG and a smaller non-rambo fanny pack and put my gun in there. In a separate compartment I'd put my locker key, and gym ID in case anyone asked.
Train like your life depends on it, because it does.

I believe Uncle Ted still likes Michigan a bunch. He still maintains some hunting property here, which brings up a good point. Michigan is a sporting State. Per capita, there are a lot of fire arms here. It would be very unpopular (read bad for business) to go anti gun around here.

A FORMER cemetery gatekeeper who won his case against Worcester City Council when they unfairly sacked him is celebrating after an appeal was thrown out.
David Allen, who worked for the authority for 30 years, took his employers to an employment tribunal in July 2011.
The 49-year-old, who was also employed by the council as a gravedigger, was dismissed on ill-health grounds after developing the condition vibration whitefinger, caused by using machinery.
An in-house investigation then found his son Mark had used a council strimmer without permission, and he was fired – a decision upheld by a councillors' appeal panel at the time.
Last year Mr Allen won his case at Birmingham Emplyment Tribunal, only for council chiefs to take the matter to an Employment Appeal Tribunal in London.
But last week Judge William Birtles, sitting on the appeal, refused it and said the original court must now decide what compensation Mr Allen is due.
Mr Allen believes he may have a claim for up to £20,000 – which would come from taxpayers – but this has yet to be confirmed.
As of today the authority has 14 days remaining to consider an appeal over the rejection.
Mr Allen, who lives in Canterbury Road, Ronkswood, said: "I'm delighted by the decision because it's been a long time to get to this stage.
"It has now been sent back to the original judge for compensation to be awarded, so I'll have to wait and see how it goes.
"Because I haven't had any money to get a solicitor I've had to defend myself, so it's been tough."
Mr Allen was evicted from his on-site house last year and has got a job two days a week at Bishop Perowne CE College, doing general work such as gardening.
He was so cash-strapped last year that he put banners outside his home pleading for help from a solicitor, but after nothing came from it he defended himself.
A city council spokeswoman said: "Although there are two sides to this story, we do accept the tribunal's decision.
"We have not yet received the tribunal's written judgement and we are unable to comment further for reasons of confidentiality."

The natural instinct when remodeling a house with wall-to-wall carpet is to take it up, right? Before you can confirm what's underneath, you hold high hopes for finding a wood floor that was covered up in a past era (when they didn't know any better), but it's best not to set your expectations too high. More likely than not, the carpet was a cheap solution to cover up a floor that was already in poor condition.
In the minimal remodel of our Connecticut home, we were delighted that the floors were primarily wood and required a mere polish and buff to restore them to their optimum condition. When we lifted the carpet on the stairs, we discovered wood treads in pristine condition and optimistically assumed that we would find the same in the four bathrooms, whose floors had all been either carpeted or covered in vinyl tiles.
And while we weren't completely wrong, the floors were too far gone to be restored, and here began my dilemma. We did not want to spend any of our already limited budget on floors in bathrooms that were going to eventually require updating anyway, so I asked our builder what he thought the best and least expensive short-term solution would be. Based on his recommendation, we went with painted plywood.
Unless otherwise noted, photography by Christine Chang Hanway.
Above: A plywood floor that has been painted with a high gloss white paint. Photograph by Sally Schneider via The Improvised Life.
A material more typically associated with subfloor material, plywood was not designed to be used as a finished surface covering. It can, however, be made to look and act like one with a few extra steps outlined here for a mere $1 to $2 a square foot in materials.
Above: A corner detail in my bathroom with a Cotton Woven Bath Rug in Silver Sage from Restoration Hardware; $34 to $169, depending on size.
Above: The painted plywood floors in my bathrooms all have a Silver Sage trim.
Above: Short term solution? Maybe not in my case. My hard-to-please mother visited this summer and proclaimed that our bathroom floors were genius. I might just quit while I'm ahead.
See the what they looked like before we removed the carpet in Minimal Moves for Maximum Impact.

How do you all go about drafting in an IDP league?
This will be my 3rd year in a 16 team, PPR, IDP league. We start 2 LB, 2 DL, 2 DB, and one defensive flex. My first year in the league was a mess, and last year I decided to stream some defensive players rather than waste high round draft picks due to their unpredictability.
However, I realized halfway through the season that stud LBs can produce like WRs, so I'm looking to load up on some solid defensive players this year. In my league, people generally start drafting defensive players in the 7th or 8th round (25 rounds total). Due to injuries etc, I decided to tank last season and traded Charles, Foles, and my other elite players for keepers and picks.
My two keepers are Lacy (4th rd) and Jeffery (7th rd). I have an extra 7th rd pick and 10th rd pick, losing my 12th and 25th. I'm planning to grab a LB like Dansby or Burfict with my extra 7th rounder, and then grab a couple more LBs in the 9th and 10th. Any general tips or advice on the draft or IDP sleeper picks that you like?

2015 Rookie Picks: 1.02, 1.04, 3.03
Posted 25 March 2014 - 04:28 AM
I always like snagging the top rookie MLB in my IDP leagues. Usually they play, and produce well (see Luke Kuechly). CJ Mosley will be a beast, and could be a great value pick in IDP leagues.

Justice Department Sues to Block US Airways/American Merger
CHARLOTTE ( TheStreet) - In a move that has stunned the airline industry, the U.S. Department of Justice said it has filed a law suit to block the planned merger of US Airways (LCC) and American (AAMRQ.PK).
Shares of bankrupt American, which trades primarily on the expectation of a return in the merger, were down 45% to $3.22 in late afternoon trading. Shares of US Airways were down 12% to $16.52.
The Justice Department, six attorneys general and the District of Columbia filed a civil antitrust lawsuit on Tuesday challenging the proposed merger.
The merger "which would result in the creation of the world's largest airline, would substantially lessen competition for commercial air travel in local markets throughout the United States and result in passengers paying higher airfares and receiving less service," the Justice Department said in a prepared statement.
The opponents filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The participating attorneys general are from Arizona, Florida, the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia. "Airline travel is vital to millions of American consumers who fly regularly for either business or pleasure," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "By challenging this merger, the Department of Justice is saying that the American people deserve better. This transaction would result in consumers paying the price - in higher airfares, higher fees and fewer choices. Today's action proves our determination to fight for the best interests of consumers by ensuring robust competition in the marketplace." Bill Baier, assistant attorney general in charge of the DOJ antitrust division, said "The department sued to block this merger because it would eliminate competition between US Airways and American and put consumers at risk of higher prices and reduced service. "If this merger goes forward, even a small increase in the price of airline tickets, checked bags or flight change fees would result in hundreds of millions of dollars of harm to American consumers," he said. "Both airlines have stated they can succeed on a standalone basis and consumers deserve the benefit of that continuing competitive dynamic." American and US Airways compete directly on more than a thousand routes where one or both offer connecting service, representing tens of billions of dollars in annual revenues, the department said. It also said the merger would "entrench the merged airline as the dominant carrier at Washington Reagan National Airport, with control of 69% of the take-off and landing slots."
