Tonight I had my first attempt at Hot Egg Wings. Cooked direct at 400 degrees with a few pieces of hickory. Flipped after about 20 minutes… then next flip at 15 and another at about 10. Kept moving the wings around to get them done evenly. Got the skin nice and crispy. After grilling I drenched the wings in about 1 cup and a half of Franks Red hot with 1 stick of butter. The sauce was seasoned with black pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, ground chipotle pepper and cayenne pepper. I was really pleased with the way they came out. Going to get a raised grid within the next week and I know the next batch will be even better.
Placed on the grill...
Taken off the grill...
Ready for eating...
Some good looking wings. One of the things about wings is you will find about a 100 different ways to cook them depending on who you ask, its just about finding the method that you like and works for you.
Try squeezing in some fresh lemon juice to your sauce next time, it really brightens it up and adds another dimension. Bout half a lemon should do it.

If you were asking me, no I did not. I have seen a few mentions of that method. Just one more thing to add the list of "gotta try that"...GQuiz said:Sweeeeeeeeeet! Did you put them back on after dousing with Frank's? Caramelizes them real nice.

Jamawar or grown piece, is a special type of shawl made in Kashmir. "Jama" means robe and "war" is yard. The best quality of Jamawar is built with Pashmina. The brocaded parts are woven in similar threads of silk or polyester. Most of the designs seen today are floral, with the kairy (i.e. the paisley) as the predominant motif. Historically handmade items, some shawls took a couple of decades to complete; consequently, original Jamawar shawls are highly valued.Modern, machine-made Jamawar prints, produced in cities such as Kashmir and other parts of Pakistan, Punjab cost less to buy but handmade Jamawar are very expensive.
Today, the best and the most expensive Jamawar is woven in Kashmir.Third-generation family traders from a small town in UP called Najibabad have the most ancient collection of these exquisite jamawars which they are preserving by darning.
This fabric is widely used in that country for bridal and special occasion outfits. The texture and weave of patterns is such that the fabric often gets caught when rubbed against rough surfaces (metallic embroidery, jewellery etc.) it must therefore be handled delicately when worn. Hand Made Jamawar Shawls have a very high monetary value and are occasionally worn by people.
Kanika Jamawar is a high end variety of Royal Jamawar[1] shawl. It is made with weaving sticks and the patterns are so finely done that front and back of the shawl are indistinguishable. Pashmina wool is used to make these shawls. Less than a dozen Kani Jamawar shawls are manufactured every year. The primary manufacturing centre for these shawls is Kashmir while some ancient hand-mended(darning) shawls also coming from Najibabad, U.P.
Traders introduced this Chinese silk cloth to India, mainly from Samarkand and Bukhara and it gained immense popularity among the royalty and the aristocracy. King and nobles bought the woven fabric by the yard, wearing it as a gown or using it as a wrap or shawl. Jamawar weaving centres in India developed in the holy cities and the trade centres. The most well known Jamawar weaving centre is Kashmir, Pakistan and Punjab.
Due to its rich and fine raw materials, the rich and powerful merchants used Jamawar and noblemen of the time, who could not only afford it but could even commission the weavers to make the fabric for them, as in the case of the Mughals. Emperor Akbar was one of its greatest patrons. He brought many weavers from East Turkestan to Kashmir.
One of the main reasons for the diversity in the designs of the Jamawar cloth was the migratory nature of its weavers. Ideas from almost all parts of the world influenced these designs.
The Indian motifs were greatly influenced by nature like the sun, moon, stars, rivers, trees, flowers, birds etc. The figural and geometrical motifs such as trees, lotus flower, bulls, horses, lions, elephants, peacocks, swans, eagles, the sun, stars, diagonal or zigzag lines, squares, round shapes, etc. can be traced through the entire history of Jamawar and are still being used but in a rather different form in terms of intricacy and compositions, thus creating new patterns.
Indian weaver predominantly used a wide variety of classical motifs such as the swan (hamsa), the Lotus (kamala), The Tree Of Life (kulpa, vriksha), the Vase of Plenty (purna, kumbha), the Elephant (hathi), the Lion (simha), flowing floral creepers (lata patra), Peacocks (mayur) and many more. Mythical creatures such as winged lions, centaurs, griffins, decorative of ferocious animals, animals formally in profile or with turned heads, animals with human figures in combat or represented in roundels were also commonly used motifs. These motifs have remained in existence for more than two thousand years. However, new patterns have consistently been introduced; sometimes some of these are even an amalgamation of the existing patterns. Such attempts at evolving new designs were particularly noticeable from the 10th century onwards, when patterns were altered to meet the specific demands of the Muslim rulers.
The bull or the swan, arranged between vertical and diagonal stripes can still be found in the silk Jamawar saris of India. Patterns with small flowers and two-coloured squares (chess board design) are seen, used both as a garment and as furnishing material – bed spreads with same kind of pattern are still woven in some parts of Gujarat.
Jamawar dating back to the Mughal era however contained big, bold and realistic patterns, which were rather simple with ample space between the motifs. The designs stood out prominently against the background of the cloth.
Complex patterns were developed only when additional decorative elements were included in the basic pattern. During later periods, the gap between the motives was also filled with smaller motives or geometrical forms. The iris and narcissus flowers became the most celebrated motifs of this era and were combined with tulips, poppies, primulas, roses and lilies. A lot of figurative motives were also used in the Mughal era such as deers, horses, butterflies, peacocks and insects. The Mughal kings played a vital role in the enhancement of Jamawar by putting their inspirations into the cloth's designing and visiting the weavers on a regular basis to supervise its making. Shining, decorative pallus were jals were the main designs of this time. The borders were usually woven with silk and zari.
After the Mughal period, the figurative motifs were discouraged by the Muslims and more floral and paisleys were introduced. However, inspiration was taken from these figurative motives and put into designs as in the case of using only the peacock feathers instead of the complete figure.
Another big change was brought about in 1985, where the source of inspiration was the Chinese Shanghai cloth. The patterns of the Chinese Shanghai were amended in accordance to the weave construction of the Jamawar cloth and introduced in the cloth. This proved to be a very successful change and is still appreciated by many.
In recent years, the Indian government has attempted a modest revival of this art by setting up a shawl-weaving centre in Kashmir. Efforts to revive this art have also been made by bringing in innovations like the creation of Jamawar saris by craftsmen in Varanasi. Each sari is a shimmering tapestry of intricate design, in colours that range from the traditionally deep, rich shades to delicate pastels. A minimum of four months of patient effort goes into the creation of each Jamawar sari. Many of the Jamawar saris now have matching silk shawls attached to them, creating elegant ensembles fit for royalty.
Actually Jamawar is from Kashmir's word jama+war means adding of weave .First i will define (War) in Kashmir's language means one addition of weave by a thread .This word is used in kani shawl weaving & carpet weaving in kashmir. Jama means adding of many weaveing threads or addition of thread weaving .The whole piece of kani shawl are called kani jamawar or jamawar. kani is small stick with shape of slight thick in center and thin at two edges .In kashmir kani's are made of wood with clear polish by which kani jamawars are weaved .About 400-1000 kani's are used to weave a kani jamawar. most of designs or patters are traditional floral and paisly (ambi or badams) type .Some designs are with birds & animal while some designs with figure type. Old kani jamawars are close weaved & small designed are to be found as rear & antique. kani jamawar of kashmir is weaved by the material wool pashmina of Kashmir ladakh.

For Ron Crider, collecting art is an investment in the senses. Since 1983, he has purchased African tribal art from sub-Saharan Africa, specifically masks and totem figures. Modern art came into his life in 1990, when he fell in love with geometric abstraction and abstract expressionism created between 1940 and 1960. Today, the former gallery owner and art educator loves walking through his home in Hickory to visit his art, which he calls old friends.
Love at first abstract: Crider attended high school in Europe, where he became smitten with the art of Picasso in Paris. I was struck, back in those years, and have never stopped loving the world of abstract, he said.
Bicoastal: The native North Carolinian spent 16 years on the West Coast, where he developed a taste for tribal art. He missed his home state and later moved to Charlotte. Charlotte had really grown up and become a major city in the South, he said.
Old friends: Crider encourages art collectors to buy only what they love. Theres a physical human connection as well, he said. I understand their chaos or their own sense of order. That makes it so much more palatable when I have that additional information.

The good folks at PacktPub.com handed me a copy of "PostGIS CookBook" a comprehensive guide for GIS developers.
While i must say the book has some great recipes, LIDAR data processing is a good read, a small introduction to postgis and related technology would have been a good idea for newbie developers.
Nevertheless, the book offers great insights to PostGIS version 2.x, recipes like performing Routing on a OSM map, replication for PostGIS provide for great fodder to GIS developers.
If you are into location based services, travel, geo enabled services then this is not a recommended book but a MUST buy.

I have an older MD3000i and you can manually add the servers it is allowed to see however the options aren't the same for this one for some reason?
I've just finished installing version 6 on my two R710s The first connected fine to the MD3600i the second brings up an error SR Backend failure 47 no such device.
Any ideas on what could have happened?
I have an older MD3000i and you can manually add the servers it is allowed to see however the options aren't the same for this one for some reason?
Did you upgrade or install from new?
Just done the upgrade from 5.6SP2 on my Dell 3 host pool and had problems with the rolling pool upgrade tool so had to go to manual upgrade and had to reconfigure settings on the second and third host but all is well.
It could be that you may have to reconfigure the connection on your second host.
Also I wouldnt recommend pooling your 2 hosts and running HA as this has an inherent fault which is documented on the Citrix website.
wesleyw (27th July 2012)
Here is a list of backend error codes:
CTX131215 - List of SR Backend Failure Error Codes - Citrix Knowledge Center
They might help
Well I managed to add the iqn of the other host to the "host" in MD3600i config a complete change of setup to the old one. As for version 6 I imported all my VMservers (except for the DCs) and then started the upgrade of Xentools this broke the network connection of the Exchange server and after a reboot blue screened the system every time not sure why though. Reimporting now.

UAE close to final proposals on fund regulations
Fund firms in UAE will need to get license from SCA; Final draft of circular to drafted by mid-July – source; Regulator to meet with DIFC-related entities Thursday; Move aimed at protecting investors' interests
June 6, 2011 3:11 by p.deleon
The United Arab Emirates is close to issuing a final draft of proposals to regulate the country's nascent asset management industry, seen as an important step in protecting investors' interests and boosting market confidence.
The Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) issued an initial draft for regulating investment funds earlier in the year and a final circular is expected by mid-July after consultations with asset management firms, a fund management source familiar with the discussions said.
"The SCA wants this to be a more regulated market. The first draft came out in April, the final paper will come out about mid-July," the source, who did not wish to be identified, said.
The proposals, intended to boost transparency among funds, will also apply to distributors, with the ultimate aim of developing a market for the creation of and distribution of very liquid products.
"The fund management business in the MENA region is at a very nascent stage and improvements in regulation should be welcomed as part of the sectors' development," said Daniel Rudd, HSBC's head of asset management for the region.
"These changes are likely to boost international confidence in the region as well as adding much-needed protection to local retail investors," Rudd said.
The proposed regulations would also mean the SCA would be responsible for oversight of licensed entities, freeing up resources of the Central Bank — which currently regulates funds in the UAE — to monitor other institutions such as commercial banks.
Companies planning to set up a local investment fund will be required to be established as a joint stock company, have their permanent headquarters in the UAE and have a paid-up capital of no less than 10 million dirhams. They will also be required to invest a minimum of 10 percent of the capital for each local investment fund they set up.
Funds are also domiciled out of financial free zones like the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) and under the proposals, DIFC-domiciled funds would be considered as foreign funds by the regulator.
The proposal will require foreign funds to get approval of the regulator and the central bank to market the funds in the country.
The SCA is scheduled to meet with representatives from DIFC-domiciled firms on Thursday, the fund management source said.

ISSUE-81: What should detail be for dblclick events? http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/webapi/issues/81 Raised by: Maciej Stachowiak On product: DOM 3 Events What should the detail value be for dblclick events? I propose that it be the same as the detail value for the corresponding click. This would be consistent with all known browsers that support DOM Events. Bjoern proposes that it always have a value of 2. This would be consistent with all known browsers except Safari on the Mac, since that is currently the only browser to fire dblclick for even click counts greater than 2.Received on Sunday, 7 May 2006 05:47:08 GMT

Just sharing is not enough
It might sound like heresy, but information sharing is overrated, said Tony Sager of the National Security Agency.
IT security officials already are overloaded with information, Sager said. As chief of the vulnerability analysis and operations group in NSA's Information Assurance Directorate, which runs Red Team penetration tests, Sager has generated his share of security information over the past 33 years. But that data often contributes little to improving the security of government IT systems, he said Tuesday at the Symantec Government Symposium on IT security in Washington.
"Dumping our inboxes at each other is not going to cut it," Sager said. "Being at the right meeting is not going to do it. The key to success in IT security is information management." E-mail exchanges and meeting attendance don't scale, he noted; an agency official can't increase them indefinitely as the demand rises.

A cyber bill worth enacting
NIST updates specs for the latest version of SCAP
Information management means getting the right information into the hands of those who need it. That requires not data dumps, but standards for tools that can analyze data and make it available irrespective of its source; standards such as the Security Content Automation Protocol, jointly developed by the NSA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the private sector.
SCAP, a set of protocols for standardizing the way security information is defined and handled, is part of an evolution toward making cybersecurity more strategic and less tactical and reactive, said Ron Ross, senior computer scientist at NIST who spoke with Sager. SCAP compliant products can take information from multiple sources in a variety of formats and make it available to users.
Agencies generally are good at the tactics of cybersecurity, Ross said, but they are not so good at enterprisewide risk management.
"You have to start the risk management process at the top of the organization," he said, so that tools on the front line can contribute effectively. "We have to get better at governance, first and foremost."
Sager said he came to his conclusion on the importance of information management after more than 30 years of analyzing vulnerabilities and probing the defenses of Defense Department agencies. He came up with three primary observations.
"The optimal place to solve a security problem is never where you found it," he said. Red Team exploits can identify a vulnerability in a network or system, but the root cause and ultimate solution lies in better management practices earlier in the system lifecycle.
Secondly, there are few surprises in IT security, Sager said. "If something is happening to you today, something identical or close to it happened to somebody yesterday and will happen to somebody else tomorrow." But the people who already have the information seldom communicate with those who need it, he said.
Finally, "all the signs you needed to stop a threat or mitigate it were there, but they were not available to the cyber defender." Too often the warning signals of a security incident appear significant only in hindsight. That is good forensics, but poor security, he said.
The solution is to make better use of existing information to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate threats and manage risks.
Although Sager and Ross are realists who do not believe in a simple solution for cybersecurity, they also are optimistic about the ability of agencies to use evolving technology and techniques to counter escalating threats.
"Our business is evolution," Ross said. NIST is in the process of harmonizing security guidance across government, developing a single set of standards and controls that both civilian and national defense communities can draw from to establish appropriate levels of security. And the administration's recent emphasis on continuous monitoring of IT systems is more of an adaptation to newly available tools and more aggressive attacks rather than a shift in strategy, he said.
"We're getting better at this as we go," Ross said. But so are the attackers, and agencies cannot expect to achieve complete security. New techniques for agile defense that can raise the costs for attackers and limit the impact of successful attacks can help to maintain effective risk management, he said.
Standardization and interoperability will be a major contributor to this, Sager said. "We can't afford any more stand-alone tools in our environment," he said. "We need to start demanding this from vendors."

US Air Force ABU (Airman Battle Uniform)
All Terrain Tiger™… A True 21st Century Weapon Delivery System
… would be massive upgrade to current ABU
ABU Development History
US Air Force personnel are not wearing the current AIR FORCE ABU pattern in Afghanistan Field Operations but are instead wearing the ARMY's transitional field uniform. The ARMY is wearing a "transitional" uniform due to the fact that their Universal Camouflage Pattern, with it's ineffective colorway, has been found to perform very poorly, especially in this region.
From it's inception in 2002, the original tiger stripe ABU project I was tasked to organize was never intended to develop a first class effective camouflage. AIR FORCE Chief of Staff Gen. Jumper's focus was to simply have a "distinctive" uniform that would be recognized as AIR FORCE.
Contrary to my professional recommendations, the initial decision was to go with the disastrous Blue Tiger Stripe. As was told to me, fabric durability, color retention, ease of care, uniform comfort, as well as a range of female sizing were high priorities while camouflage effectiveness was essentially unnecessary and a non-issue.
Simply following the digital camouflage lead of both the MARINE CORPS and ARMY, AIR FORCE eventually selected a very ineffective substandard camouflage design with an even less effective colorway. (see at right)
The initial "bright" ABU colorway was quickly found to be a distinct disadvantage in a war zone because the uniform stood out too much. The ABU's colorway was then toned down. It is no coincidence that it "just happens" to more closely resemble the ARMY's UCP-ACU colorway of the time. The ARMY has now dumped their admitted failed colorway and camouflage design.
I'm truly sorry I couldn't have been more help in providing what was suggested to AF leadership rather than what leadership ultimately selected. My copyrighted tiger stripe pattern, as well as digital designs in general, are not all inherently bad camouflages. The U.S.M.C. MARPAT is an example of an effective digital design.
Experience has shown that any pattern can quickly go bad when
camouflage design amateurs enter the decision making equation.
CAMOUFLAGE UPDATE: Sept 2014
Air Force says "no" to new camouflage. AF sites they like the
look of AF personnel in the current ABU tiger and with current
budget constraints, they could not undertake a major uniform
upgrade at this time. They also would prefer to save the individual
Airman the personal financial cost incurred by upgrading to a
combat ready camouflage uniform.
Oh well, AF personnel will have to "borrow" the Army's latest
upgraded camouflage uniform when they require something that is
even close to an actual working combat camouflage.
Two uniforms… again? One for show and one for go. How much is
that costing the individual Airman? And does the "Esprit de corps"
concept still exist? Hopefully, funding will be found (soon) to
finance the much needed organizational upgrade to a real-world
camouflage such as the All Terrain Tiger™ or SPEC-OPS TIGER™.
All Terrain Tiger™
Any Military, Government Agency, Law Enforcement Department, or Professional Security Force can now deliver extremely high camouflage effectiveness to it's personnel with this outstanding new Tiger Stripe camouflage design, the All Terrain Tiger™. As the designer of this great new copyrighted camouflage, peak all-terrain camouflage effectiveness was my number one priority.
All Terrain Tiger™ would be a massive upgrade for both Garrison wear and Combat operations over the current USAF ABU.
This newly updated tiger pattern design delivers superior all-terrain camouflage performance and superior uniform construction while still being very affordable when compared to similar products. Tru-Spec® All Terrain Tiger™ uniforms are the perfect alternative to today's higher priced camouflage selections. The available
All Terrain Tiger™ uniform styles and superior pattern make them ideal for Special Operation Units as well as for everyday duties.

The human body is estimated to contain 100 trillion bacteria–at least 10 times the number of human cells present. Dr. Surana's research explores the nexus between these bacteria normally present in the body–collectively referred to as the microbiota–and the host immune system. His work focuses on two primary areas: 1. identifying specific bacteria that have immunomodulatory effects, and 2. understanding the mechanisms through which the host recognizes these immunomodulatory commensal organisms. Dr. Surana uses a combination of immunological tools, germ-free and gnotobiotic mice, and relevant animal models of disease to refine the biological mechanisms underlying the intricate balance between intestinal health and disease. Appreciating how the microbiota and the intestinal immune system are intertwined is critical to understanding the development and maintenance of mucosal immunity. Gaining insight into these relationships will allow future work to focus on clinically-relevant means of manipulating these mechanisms to treat patients with inflammatory conditions.
Dr. Surana received undergraduate degrees in Biology, Economics, and Biochemistry at Indiana University. He subsequently joined the MD/PhD program at Washington University School of Medicine. During his graduate work in the laboratory of Joseph St. Geme, III, Dr. Surana studied mechanisms of protein secretion in gram-negative bacteria. He completed his pediatric residency and fellowship in pediatric infectious diseases at Boston Children's Hospital. In 2010, Dr. Surana joined the laboratory of Dennis Kasper in the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology at Harvard Medical School to study the interactions between the microbiota and the host immune system. He joined the faculty of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children's Hospital in 2012.

All day shopping frenzy on Thanksgiving?By ANNE DINNOCENZIO
The Associated Press | November 13,2013AP File Photo
Shoppers stand in line outside a Best Buy department store before the stores opening at midnight, Nov. 22 of 2012. Thanksgiving is slowly becoming just another shopping day as at least a dozen major retailers are planing to open Thursday, Nov. 28.NEW YORK Last Thanksgiving Day, Kimberly Mudge Vias mother, sister and nieces left in the middle of their meals to head for the mall.
Now, Via says shell never host Thanksgiving dinner for her relatives again.
They barely finished, says the 28-year-old who lives in Boone, N.C. They thanked me and left their plates on the counter.
That scene could become more common in homes across the country. Black Friday shopping, the annual rite of passage on the day after Thanksgiving, continues to creep further into the holiday as more stores open their doors a day early.
Its a break with tradition. Black Friday, which typically is the years biggest shopping day, for a decade has been considered the official start to the busy holiday buying season. Stores open in the wee hours of the morning with special deals called doorbusters and stay open late into the evening. Meanwhile, Thanksgiving and Christmas remained the only two days a year that stores were closed.
Now Thanksgiving is slowly becoming just another shopping day. Over the past few years, major retailers, including Target and Toys R Us, slowly have pushed opening times into Thanksgiving night to one-up each other and compete for holiday dollars. Some initially resisted, saying that they wanted their employees to be able to spend time with their families.
But this year, Macys, Wal-Mart and Kohls are among at least a dozen major retailers that are opening on Thanksgiving. Several are opening for the first time, and others, including Gap, are opening earlier on the holiday than they did last year.
Roger Beahm, professor of marketing at the Wake Forest University School of Business in Winston-Salem, N.C., expects that its just a matter of time he estimates five years before most chains open all day on Thanksgiving. As for Christmas, he says that day is still sacred among shoppers.
The floodgates have opened, Beahm says. People will turn Thanksgiving Day shopping into a tradition as they historically have on the day after Thanksgiving ... And stores dont want to be left behind.
Indeed, retailers say theyre just doing what shoppers want. And they know that opening earlier gives them a chance to be the first to grab shoppers dollars. Thats an important opportunity for chains, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the last two months of the year.
But so far, its unclear whether opening on Thanksgiving boosts retailers top line or simply pushes forward sales from Friday. Last year, it was the latter: Sales on Thanksgiving were $810 million last year, an increase of 55 percent from the previous year as more stores opened on the holiday, according to Chicago research firm ShopperTrak.
But business dropped 1.8 percent to $11.2 billion on Black Friday, though it still was the biggest shopping day last year. That day accounted for about 4.3 percent of holiday sales last year.
Customers clearly showed that they wanted to be out shopping much earlier on Thanksgiving, Amy von Walter, a spokeswoman for Best Buy, which moved up its opening this year to 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving from midnight on Black Friday in 2012. Our plan this holiday is a direct result of that feedback.
Given the controversy, opening on Thanksgiving can be a difficult decision for retailers to make.
For instance, last year, Macys and J.C. Penney didnt open on Thanksgiving evening as competitors did. Both chains say they wanted to honor their workers time with their families. But this year, they changed their tune.
Tony Bartlett, executive vice president of Penneys stores, says the company decided to open at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving this year because of customer feedback. He also says Penney store employees wanted to open on Thanksgiving so they could get the chance to better compete with rivals.
Obviously, we were one of the last to open, last year, says Bartlett, referring to the chains 6 a.m. opening in 2012. But he says this year, Were all in.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Can the U.S. Full StoryJACKSON CENTER, Ohio Bob Wheeler still gets the question sometimes when people find out he runs...

Bobby, those seals aren't round o-rings. There kind of flat sleeves that fit in there and seal around the plug. I don't know if round o-rings would work or not. I kind of doubt they would work as intended.
Bobby, it's not for the high flow rate that I would consider those more expensive QDs. It's for the same reason that jcryan2 mentioned in post #13.
I have a thermowell in a 1/2 inch pipe T that I want to connect to the mash tun valve via QD. It can't be attached to a barb, obviously. If the barb on the female socket will unscrew and if the fitting is 3/8th or 1/2 inch NPT or NPST, then I can adapt it to the temperature probe pipe T fitting.
If the barb won't unscrew and/or the threads aren't NPT or NPST, then I'd be forced to use an incompatible QD on the mash tun valve, and I'd rather avoid that.
I may have a solution anyway. These fittings are supposed to be compatible with Parker Moldmate also, just like the compatible ones that MC sells, but they are a lot more expensive: Industrial Mold Coolant Quick Disconnects - they have male and female plugs and they have sockets with and without barbs. They are more expensive, but I'd only need some of the female plugs that MC doesn't sell, and one of the female pipe thread sockets.
Stupid question: I see a lot of discussion about using quick disconnects, but I don't see where I would use them in my own brewing setup. Everyone raves about them. What are they for?
They are used to make quick connections between valves and pumps and plate chillers, etc., on an advanced brew rig. Search for one of the Brutus 10 threads and check out the pictures and you'll see. Korndog, Bobby M, Chimone, Mrbowenz, and quite a few other people have posted pics in threads and in their galleries that will help clarify the use of these quick disconnects. Once you see what they can do for you, you'll want them too. Also, look at the moer advanced commercially available brew rigs like the ones that More Beer and Sabco sell for more examples.
Here is a good thread -- Brutus Ten ???? -- You'll have to go through quite a few pages to get to the pics. But it's worth it.
For me it's about using a single pump and pair of hose to pump liquids from any vessel or apparatus to any other.
Thanks for another possible source. I'll check it out.
The barb on the female sleeve is removable. I'm not certain on the thread size, but I think it's 3/8 NPT.
BTW - McMaster has sleeves with threaded connections. Check out part #6536K23 or 6536K22.

Congrats on bringing up NK, such a "mighty threat" that cannot even afford to feed their own people, and have had one moment of glory with one rocket launch success, big fuging whoop, like a nuke could travel all the way over to the US before it was intercepted. NK is a sad excuse for a joke. If NK was a bank robber, it would wear a paper bag over its head and point a finger with thumb up at a teller and say "give me all your money".

Rainbow Colored Honey Anyone?
The small town of Ribeauville that lies on a scenic wine route southwest of Strasbourg, France is known for two things - Its vineyards and 35,000 bee colonies that produce more than 1,000 metric tons of delicious amber honey each year. However, since August, while the honey has been as delicious as ever, it has lost its amber hue and instead taken on strange shades of blue, green and even red!
Mystified, the beekeepers embarked on an investigation to see what was causing the sudden change in color. While it took a few months, they believe the mystery has finally been solved. Turns out that just about 2.5 miles away from the hives lies a biogas station which processes waste from a Mars confectionery plant that manufactures - You guessed it - brightly colored M&M's!
The British Beekeepers Association believes that due to a harsh 2011-2012 winter, the bees had a hard time foraging for honey, leading them to look for alternate sources of sugar. That's probably when they discovered the colorful sweet liquid waste that the company stored in large bins outside the plant.
The biogas company has now changed their procedures so that any incoming waste is stored in covered rooms to which the bees have no access to. While that will definitely help going forward, the poor beekeepers are scratching their heads about what to do with all the colored M&M honey that nobody wants to purchase.
The news is not particularly good for the rest of us as well. With bee colonies disappearing all around the world, the golden liquid is quite precious to begin with - Losing more, just adds to the dire situation.
