The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 114 out of the 3,036 introduced bills (3.8 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[7] For more information pertaining to Williams's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[8]
National security
Williams voted for HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[9]
DHS Appropriations
Williams voted for HR 2217 - the DHS Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 that was largely along party lines.[10]
Williams voted for HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill permitted federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities. The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[11]
Farm bill
On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[12] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[13][14] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[14] Williams voted with 62 other Republican representatives against the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[15][16] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[16] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[17] It included a 1 percent increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency and protected the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Williams joined with the 63 other Republicans and 3 Democrats who voted against the bill.[15][16]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[18] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[19] Williams voted in favor of the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[20]
The shutdown ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[21] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Williams voted against HR 2775.[22]
Federal Pay Adjustment Act
Williams voted for HR 273 - Eliminates the 2013 Statutory Pay Adjustment for Federal Employees. The bill passed the House on February 15, 2013, with a vote of 261 - 154. The bill called for a stop to a 0.5 percent pay increase for all federal workers from taking effect, saving the federal government $11 billion over 10 years.[23]

Morton Memos Prohibition
Williams voted for House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[24] The vote largely followed party lines.[25]
Healthcare Reform Rules
Williams voted for House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires that all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[26]
Social issues
Williams voted for HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196 that largely followed party lines. The purpose of the bill was to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[27]
Government affairs
On July 30, 2014, the U.S. House approved a resolution 225 to 201 to sue President Barack Obama for exceeding his constitutional authority. Five Republicans—Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Paul Broun of Georgia, Scott Garrett of New Jersey, Walter Jones of North Carolina and Steve Stockman of Texas—voted with Democrats against the lawsuit.[28] Williams joined the other 224 Republicans in favor of the lawsuit. All Democrats voted against the resolution.[29][30]

Size of container for peppers?
I've seen various recommendations on various sites regarding the proper size of container needed for growing peppers. Just wondering if anyone has successfully grown poblanos, bananas, and bell (green/red/orange) peppers in container pots, and if so, how large was the pot? Would 3 gallons be sufficient?
Peppers work well in containers. I've grown all three of the ones you mentioned in containers. There have been many discussions about this subject in the hot pepper forum. Although some might tell you that 3 gallons would be adequate for a pepper, most would probably agree with me that you need at least a 5-gallon container for a pepper. A 5-gallon nursery container actually only holds 3.5 gallons of potting mix. Many people grow peppers in those 5-gallon paint buckets sold in hardware stores, which really do hold 5 gallons. The peppers you want to grow will get pretty large. I've grown poblanos that got almost four feet tall.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hot Pepper Forum
Thanks OH, I'm about to head out shortly to pick up a few. I will probably go with the 5's just to be on the safe side. Assuming you staked your poblanos, but how about the bells? Did those require staking as well? Also, for the 5 gallon size, did you fill the whole thing with potting mixture or did you use some kind of filler at the bottom and then start from there with the soil?
I staked all of them. Peppers are brittle and can be easily broken by the wind, especially when top heavy with fruit. Fill any container you use with uniform potting mix from the bottom to the top. Any filler in the bottom will interfere with drainage and waste space needed by the roots.
Don't use any soil in a container, only use soilless mix. If you haven't read the Container Soils -- Water Movement and Retention thread in this forum, I recommend doing that before you choose your potting mix.
Here is a link that might be useful: Container Soils
Well I got a few 12" (5 gallon) containers at Lowe's but I am thinking the 5 gallon bucket will be the way to go. Now...here's a silly question. Does the color of the bucket make any difference at all as far as heating/drying out? FOr some reason the black 5 gallons around here are not that cheap, but appears white (or blue from Lowe's) is.
I think the Lowes blue bucket is OK in heat, and very popular.
You'll get lots of opinions on drilling them :-).
I'll start: 5 holes around the sides, close to the bottom, 3/4 or even 1 inch in size. One more hole that size in the center of the bottom.

Faster Package Management for Suse 11.0
Suse developer Duncan Mac-Vicar gives a sneak preview of the next generation version of Novell's Zypper package manager in his blog.
Thanks to a new Solver algorithm Zypper can now resolve dependencies more quickly; on top of this, the meta data structure was optimized for more speed. The new Solver will also make more meaningful suggestions to users in case of conflicting packages.
Mac-Vicar demonstrates the major advances in a short screencast on his blog site. You can see how much faster Zypper responds after an installation command. The package management back-end is currently in testing, and only basic functionality has been implemented, however, Opensuse 11.0 will include the new Zypper.

Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors - Good Light Tour
David Ramirez
World Cafe Live Philadelphia
3025 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA, 19104
Doors 6:30 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
The night we played Bonnaroo a couple years ago, I sat with my younger brother Sam,
my wife Ellie, and a few other dear friends, reclining in plastic lawn chairs in the midnight
Tennessee heat outside our tour bus, drinking wine and listening to music. After a decade of
touring, (over 1700 shows) and making records, it's easy to forget the magic of music. We took
turns introducing each other to new bands and artists, talking about our lives, our dreams, our
Music has always had a medicinal quality to me, and that's why I started writing songs
and touring in the first place. I first needed the medicine when I was seventeen. I lost a brother
that summer, 1999. He was a great kid, lived life from the view of a wheelchair, and was gone
without warning a few days before his 14th birthday. I took lots of medicine, from Radiohead
and Bob Dylan, from Pearl Jam and Otis Redding, from Bob Marley to the Temptations, Tom
Petty and the Heartbreakers to Rage Against the Machine. I played the guitar in my bedroom,
learned songs I loved, sang along in my car alone or with a friend.
A year later I went to college in Knoxville and I became an addict. I was introduced to the
medicine of Patty Griffin, Whiskeytown, Springsteen, Tom Waits, the Jayhawks, Wilco, Beck
and hundreds more that could fill pages. I went and saw their shows and played their records
over and over and over. The honesty, the intellect, the stories, the raw emotion, the rhythm, the
vulnerability; it all made me feel like I was not alone. Music was a way of saying, "me too," a
way of finding hope and meaning in the sorrow and confusion of life.
Somewhere in those late college years, I started writing songs, at first feeble attempts,
but it grew and grew, and I got better and better. I booked shows, I made myself vulnerable and
stood onstage and sang earnest songs about love and joy, pain and tragedy. I convinced myself
that making medicine was something I could take a swing at. After graduating, over a cup of
coffee, I asked my dentist father what he thought about my dream, and he asked me one
"Are you going to work hard at that?"
"Yes sir." I replied.
"Well let's go to the guitar shop and I'll buy you the best one I can afford."
I hit the road, and I hit it hard. I found a band of agile, competent musicians whose
musical library is vast and deep and demanding. Along the way, I married the girl I always
wanted. She quit her teaching job and joined the band, toured with us for seven great years. We
made several records, and spent the majority of the last decade on the road. You may have
heard our music on TV. We've had our songs on dozens of shows like Nashville, Parenthood,
How I Met Your Mother. We have toured with artists like the Avett Brothers, John Hiatt,
Needtobreathe, and a host of other kindred souls. We have sold out our own shows in places
from Chicago to Austin, LA to New York, London to Denver, on stages we never dreamed we
would play, and selling over 100,000 records in the process, all while staying independent. Our
music is simple and heartfelt, built to inhabit people's day to day lives, like so many of the
records I have loved over the long haul in my own life.
Medicine is by far the best music we have ever made. When I played it for a respected
friend, I asked, "What do you think?" The response was,
"It sounds like it's always been there."
We recorded the whole album in eight days, co-produced by the band and Joe Pisapia
(Ben Folds, KD Lang, Guster, Josh Rouse) at Joe's Middletree Studios, in East Nashville, about
a mile from my house. We recorded one song at a time, until it was finished. No studio tricks,
just me and a great band working together, creating, having fun, embracing the sorrow. It's
always been about the song for us, a community of musicians surrounding that song and
bringing it life, trying to make it sound like it has always been there. The twelve songs on Medicine deal with loyalty, hardship, marriage, friendship, feeling
like an outsider, and wrestling with God. "You'll Always Be My Girl" is a love song to my bride
Ellie, who after eight years on the road with us, is stepping away from the band. I came up with
the first line when I was playing with our daughter Emmylou before putting her to bed. I wasn't
trying to write a song, just entertaining her and I came up with the first line – 'from the start of
spring to the autumn leaves, and the summers and winters between…" After tucking her in, I
dashed off the rest of the song in 45 minutes. It was the night before we went into the studio for
the last time. When Ellie got home, I played it for her. She loved it, and we cried together for a
moment and celebrated what we've got and what we're grateful for.
The next day, I taught it to the band, and we recorded the 24-hour-old song in one take.
Nathan Dugger on piano, Rich Brinsfield on upright bass and me singing, just sitting in a circle.
That ethos embodies the whole experience of making this record.
"Shine Like Lightning" is a song about us being an underdog band, never embraced by
the powers of radio, major labels, large corporate sponsorships, and in light of that we have a
healthy chip on our shoulder. But our music making has brought us, and our fans, a lot of
happiness, it seems. This is an ode to ten years of doing it our own way, on our own terms, in
spite of the roadblocks of cynicism and criticism, those who would "take something beautiful and
make it feel small." It's an anthem for our band and our fans, that we are going to "Shine Like
Lightning!" critics and cynics be damned.
Breaking with my previous autobiographical songwriting bent, I wrote songs like
"Heartbreak" and "Sister Brothers," based on the experiences of friends instead. Elsewhere,
"American Beauty" looks back on the nostalgia and loss of a teenage romance. The grooving,
call-and-response "Here We Go" was inspired by that particular night shared with friends at
Medicine closes with "When It's All Said and Done." It's about questioning whether God
is real and whether he cares about us or not … and not walking away from that, but holding on
to it like you're hanging on to the side of a cliff, and that's where I find myself at this point.
More than anything else, Medicine is born out of the stories we are told.
The email from a fan who was on the verge on suicide but our song gave her glimmer of hope to
keep hanging on. The story by the bus of fans who danced their first dance to another one of
our songs. The mom who sings our music to her kids before they go to sleep, begging for peace
and health and a happy life. The people who dance in the back of the rock club and have a
moment of joy in a world of suffering. We only hope to add to the soundtrack, in the same way
that all those artists and bands have done for me. Making medicine,
Music, it makes you feel good, makes you feel understood
like you're not alone, not a rolling stone, you're not the only one on the road.
A man and his guitar…honest, unfiltered and true. In a landscape filled with Top 40 beats and harmonizing folk groups, a lone singer-songwriter definitely has his work cut out for him. But David Ramirez isn't looking to top the charts. He just wants to tell the truth.
"I grew up on 90's alternative radio. It was fun and easy. Then in college someone gave me a Ryan Adams record, which led me to discover artists like Bob Dylan. From those guys I learned about the power of words and melody and their ability to affect change in people. That honesty made me want to connect with people through music".
Being just as drawn to artists like Dylan and Adams as he is to The National and Arcade Fire is perhaps what draws both young college crowds and folk traditionalists to his live shows. In 2012, Ramirez played over 175 shows in theaters, clubs, bars and listening rooms from Burlington, VT to San Diego, CA. A Fall 2012 co-headline tour with Noah Gundersen saw many sell-out shows and grew his loyal fan base. "I've been humbled by the response I've received from people. Not only do they come to a show or two but they seem to be in it for the long haul. Touring can be tough, but knowing that people around the country are excited to be a part of my music brings so much joy and meaning to the miles".
Ramirez's career has spanned 2 full lengths and 3 EP's. His 2012 independently released album, Apologies debuted at #2 on iTunes Singer-Songwriter charts and #23 on Billboard Folk, garnering praise from The New York Times, American Songwriter and PASTE. Hometown magazine Austin Monthly calls Ramirez "one of Americana's great undiscovered songwriters…" His latest release is The Rooster EP. Produced in 6 days by Ramirez and Danny Reisch (Shearwater, Okkervill River, White Denim), the 5 songs explore new sounds and test the limits of the folk/singer-songwriter genre. "The songs themselves are still rooted in folk, but I wanted to experiment with different sounds and textures. It's subtle but it's strong".
David Ramirez knows no luxury. All he needs is an acoustic guitar and the words in his mouth to share his story. One that is honest, unfiltered and true.

Hey Robert! Sorry it took so long to accept your request. I didn't see it until today actually.
I was diagnosed at 15. There was talk of hormones being involved due to puberty. Not exactly the same as stress, but perhaps a form of stress.
I am currently using baking soda, taking a lot of vitamin D, and generally eating and living healthy. Not much effect on the sugars as yet. I am still experimenting with natural remedies, or at least searching for a remedy.
Still here, though, and doing what I can to make a difference!

He's too flawed for the big amount of salary that he will command this summer.
Cut Boozer already, the goal should be to lose every game from here on out. Doing Boozer a favor too he can go play with a squad of NBA players that are going to the playoffs.
:laugh2: Me too
This is Jimbacoland in his world Kobe is worth $25.5 million, this time he thinks he's getting a real steal Dragic at $20 million per lol
On Sunday Lebron gets another look at what he's been missing out on :laugh2:
Damn it Sac
Whew thank god for Wesley Johnson and his suckness! Sigh of relief the tank is looking good!
A 1st round pick, not a 2015 1st round pick.
Spot on!
I'm still watching but on DVR so I can speed through the commercials still painful. I find myself rooting for the Lakers, then a string of laughably bad plays, then I remind myself that this is...
Pau got hurt again?
Hey awesome sig picture haha
Perkins could be good to keep the tracks on the tank lol Perkins isolations would be sweet.
Could be Hill for a 1st round pick, with pieces like Perkins and Smith involved to make the money match up. Maybe the hip injury put the trade on ice.
If we're gonna be a bottom 5 team, we might as well be the worst to have the best chance at #1. :shrug: makes sense.
No I'd like to see a M.Gasol/J.Randle or L.Aldridge/J.Randle duo up front. I think we should set higher aspirations than T.Black playing next to J.Randle :laugh2:
Come play with the Twilight Mamba, I'll show you how to tank.
:laugh2: good one
Randall, Clarkson, Black.
Too bad Kobe won't retire. Is it Summer 2016 yet? I'm just hoping Kupchak can deal guys like Lin, Davis, Hill for a couple 1st round draft picks before the deadline. Tank and collect future assets...
He'll be the same old twilight Kobe next season too. Just waiting for 2016 when we can move on to the present instead of living in the past.
Have you personally seen the MRI results? The NBA lottery is rigged, it's not really that far fetched that this is a cover for full fledged tank mode to make sure we have a top 5 pick in order to...
I think a healthy Wayne Ellington is better than Kobe only using his left hand Just saying LMFAO.
Kobe + Byron = Tank Mode sweetness
Let it tank

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
Manitobans between the ages of 16 and 24 accounted for 25% of drivers in fatal crashes and 22% of drivers in injury collisions in the province during 2010, notes data from Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI).
This age range accounts for the largest proportion of traffic collision casualties, more than any other age group, MPI reports in a statement. Compare that to drivers between the ages of 55 and 64 who accounted for 6% of the drivers in fatal collisions in 2010 the lowest of all age groupings.
The figures were released at a media event held by MPI and its police agency partners last Friday, the fifth annual National Day of Remembrance for road crash victims, an event spearheaded by the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators.
"Crashes that should not have happened do, in fact, happen when people make poor choices," said Andrew Swan, Manitoba's Attorney General and minister responsible for MPI.
"Many young drivers have a false sense of invincibility and don't fully realize the consequences of high-risk driving behaviour," added Ward Keith, MPI's executive director of driver safety and regulatory control.
"Operating a motor vehicle is a major responsibility, one that is sometimes not fully realized by young drivers who have limited driving experience," added assistant commissioner Kevin Brosseau, commanding officer of the RCMP "D" Division. "It is important for all drivers to refrain from high-risk driving practices."

Jerry Jeff Pedersen, 28, was booked into Clallam County Jail for investigation of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, a Class C felony.
A press release from the Sequim Police Department said officers began their investigation "on or about March 21 . . . [it] consisted of interviews with Sequim High School staff and students [and] the service of search warrants for cellular phone records and stored data.
"The case has been referred to the Clallam County Prosecutor's Office for review and the filing of appropriate criminal charges. At this time the Police Department has found no evidence to believe that Mr. Pedersen was inappropriately involved with any other team members or students."
The teenage girl was not identified. No other information was released.
Pedersen, a 2003 graduate of Sequim High School, is one of three assistant coaches under head coach Evan Still for Sequim High's girl's basketball team.

Making Fishery Agreements Work
Post-Agreement Bargaining in the Barents Sea
Geir Hønneland, Research Professor and Deputy Director, Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway
Hardback £67.00 on-line price £60.30
Paperback £21.00 on-line price £16.80
Why do people obey the law? And why do states abide by their international commitments? These are among the questions raised in this important book. The setting is the Barents Sea, home to some of the most productive fishing grounds on the planet, including the world's largest cod stock. Norway and Russia manage these fish resources together, in what appears to be a successful exception to the rule of failed fisheries management: stocks are in good shape, institutional cooperation is expanding and takes place in a constructive atmosphere. The author argues that post-agreement bargaining helps activate norms and establish standard operating procedure that furthers precautionary fisheries management.
Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Common-pool Resource Management and Compliance with International Commitments 3. Fisheries Management in the Barents Sea 4. Post-agreement Bargaining at State Level 5. Post-agreement Bargaining at Individual Level 6. Conclusions References Index

hoving you rule! yeah
I especially like the voices but everything else is good
Fuckin Great
This is the best shit ive seen so far
It takes alittle bit of searching to find something like this, what a great short comedy piece you have constructed here. I loved the idea of a duck that is trying to outran the law and you have executed it to quite possible perfection. I have to give you some sort of advise to improve on and that would probably be the voice overs although they were really good and full of energy it was alittle bad in the quailty section of things, so maybe either improving transfer or just adding subtitles would fix that up. I have to say though that you comedy was off the chain and in some instances such as the one were the cop is going "what are you implying?" was just too bad much, great work.

10 Resume Writing Tips
1. Choose a plain and easily legible font
Make it easy for both hiring managers and automated applicant systems to read your resume.
2. Include ALL of your contact information
The easier you are to get a hold of, the easier you are to hire. Musts: Full name, complete postal address, home phone, cell phone and email address. Suggested: Facebook page or Twitter handle so long as the content on your pages will not be frowned upon (many employers will try to find your pages anyway).
3. Include resume keywords
Customize your resume for each job while paying careful attention to the keywords used in their requirements and responsibilities sections. Not only will you be speaking the "same language" as the hiring manager but automated systems will more easily recognize your resume.
4. Choose the right resume format
Again, customization is key. Depending on how your past experiences line up with the requirements for the new job, consider achronological (when most recent experience is most relevant), functional (when several previous responsibilities from multiple positions are most relevant), targeted (list experiences in order of relevancy to the new position), or a combination thereof.
5. Prioritize your resume content
No matter the resume format, organize the content of your resume so the most relevant experience to the prospective job are listed first.
6. Quantify your achievements
A lot of job seekers are most comfortable speaking in generalities, after all the prospective job description was written in generalities right? When applicable, quantify your achievements. "Directed sales efforts for a group on 10 colleagues resulting in a 15% increase in departmental revenue" is significantly more tangible than "Directed sales efforts for a group on 10 colleagues resulting in increased departmental revenue"
7. Tailor your resume Objective
Customization is becoming a common theme. Tailor your resume objective to match the job you are applying for. The more specific you can be without losing relevance, the better your chances are of making it through the preliminary review.
8. Stay ahead of the Technology curve
No matter which industry you work in, technology is evolving quickly. Craft your resume so that you can relevantly weave in your technology experience touching upon past, present and future technologies as much as possible.
9. Create an image that matched the Salary you want
Language used in a resume seeking a $10 per hour position is much different than a resume seeking a $40 per hour position. For example, the former should avoid resume objectives and experiences of "supervising others" while the latter should avoid resume objectives and experiences involving "entry-level tasks".
10. Read the Instructions carefully
In today's world resumes can be submitted umpteen different ways. Carefully read the prospective job opening and fully understand how the hiring manager wants to receive your resume. Method (email, postal mail, fax), format (MS Word, PDF, all on 1 page), timing (start date, end date, only on certain days or only during certain hours)

I've posted this before but I have simplified it further.
I have reduced the equipment used and simplified the cleaning and sanitisation.
Step 1.
Fill the keg with a couple of litres of sanitiser and pressurise.
You need to clean the exterior part of the syphon tube that will be in the wort in the carboy so use the coper pipe with cap and insert the tube.
Run sanitiser through the tubing and use it to fill the coper pipe. this will sanitise inside and out side.
Step 2.
Using a carboy cap insert the tube into the carboy. Connect to the beer out post on the carboy.
Step 3.
Fit the CO2 pipe to the carboy cap.
Do not clamp you need the think to leak if the pressure is to high.
Step 4.
Use very little pressure 1 or 2 psi to start the syphon.
At this point you can remove the gas pipe and let gravity work or keep under very slight pressure. This helps because of the small diameter of the pipes.
Where'd you get those magnum bottles?
Nice post BTW.
I've posted them before. They come full of whisky
I do the same thing, but I use a handheld tire inflater from a bike shop. a 2-3" section of standard tubing will fit over the tire valve and connect to the carboy cap. It's got a trigger control so it's easy to control how much pressure you've got, and the tubing doesn't fit too tightly on the tire valve so that acts as your blow-off valve also. the only downside is that the 6 gram co2 runs out pretty quckly, so you'll need to buy a bulk pack at walmart.
"let me be the first to welcome our new insectile overlords"
On deck: Breakfast stout
Primary: Empty
Secondary: American Pale Ale
Conditioning: None
Kegged: Imperial red ale, Breakfast stout, Chipotle Irish red ale, Biermuncher's C3C cream ale
I have a paintball gas set up I can use as well, that has a trigger.
WTF, that is confusing as hell... not KISS.
-Clean the keg, autosiphon, and hose - inside and out.
-elevate and open the fermenter
-open the keg
-Hit the gas in post with a little gas before racking to expel oxygen from the bottom (optional)
-insert the hose into the keg
-insert the autosiphon into the fermenter
-pump the autosiphon 2-3 times
-seal keg and hit with 15psi gas to seal
