The NASCAR team Richard Childress Racing said Monday it signed Ryan Newman to drive its No. 31 Chevrolet next year in the Sprint Cup Series.
Newman currently drives the No. 39 Chevy for Stewart-Haas Racing but was not re-signed by that team for 2014.
Likewise, Jeff Burton currently drives the No. 31 for RCR but Burton announced last week that he would part ways with RCR after this season.
The moves are the latest in a flurry of NASCAR driver changes for this year and next. Here's a scorecard of the others announced so far:
--Kevin Harvick will leave RCR and move to Stewart-Haas in 2014.
--Kurt Busch will leave Furniture Row Racing and move to Stewart-Haas in 2014.
--Tony Stewart, Stewart-Haas' co-owner, is out for the season with a broken right leg.
--Mark Martin, who had driven the No. 55 Toyota part-time for Michael Waltrip Racing, will replace Stewart in his No. 14 Chevy in all but one of the remaining races this year. The exception is Oct. 20 at Talladega, Ala., where Austin Dillon will drive.
--Brian Vickers, who had been another co-driver on the No. 55, takes over that car for this year's remaining races except Talladega -- where Michael Waltrip himself will drive -- and stays in the car full-time next year.
--Juan Pablo Montoya will not be back to drive the No. 42 Chevy next year for the team Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. Montoya will be replaced by 21-year-old Kyle Larson.
--A.J. Allmendinger will drive the No. 47 car full-time next year for JTG Daugherty Racing. Bobby Labonte, currently sidelined after a cycling accident, had driven the car for most of this year.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 145 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
glimpse http://www.glimpsecloud.com
We have a new iPhone app out called glimpse. It combines time lapse video with GPS data and then plays it all back to you in one player. It's a unique way of taking and viewing photos.
Once you take a glimpse you can then upload the glimpse to glimpsecloud.com. This provides you with an easy way to share a glimpse with your friends.
You can get more info by checking out http://www.glimpsecloud.com. You can see our current logo there. We're happy with that logo. The only problem is that it doesn't translate very well into the small icon that is displayed on the iPhone.
We are targeting iPhone users who are generally into technology and shiny, pretty icons. Also those that like photography, time lapse video, and sharing creations with friends.
I need a couple different things out of this contest.
First, I need an icon that will be displayed on the iPhone and on the app store. Here are the specifics for the icons
* Application icon
57 x 57 pixels with 90 degree corners
No shine; no gloss
Does not use alpha transparency
(Apple will ultimately add the glass overlay and rounded corners)
* AppStore icon
512 x 512 pixel version of Application icon. This can be slightly more detailed than the application icon. The only requirement is that it must match the application icon in some way.
I'm also looking for a logo that will look good on the application website. See http://www.glimpsecloud.com. The logo at the top of the page is what will be replaced so it must look good when placed on that site. This can be as simple as adding the name of the app to the icons mentioned above. It doesn't have to be completely different.
I have no real visual requirements on what you do with the logo and icon. Remember what the application does; time lapse video combined with location information to give you a unique view of images. It then allows you to share that with friends. Just make the logo and icon somehow fit into what the application does. Some keywords to consider when making your design; photo, video, slideshow, time lapse, compass, map, cloud, share. However you can get across what glimpse does is up to you. Nothing too simple. I'm looking for something really creative that I can't do myself. I'm very active in these contests so you'll definitely get feedback.
I need the original source of the images. I strongly prefer adobe illustrator(ai) format for all images.

ATLANTA BALTIMORE BIRMINGHAM BOSTON BUFFALO CHARLOTTE CHICAGO CINCINNATI CLEVELAND DALLAS DENVER DETROIT JACKSONVILLE KANSAS CITY LOS ANGELES MINNEAPOLIS NEWARK NEW ORLEANS NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH HASKINS & S E L LS CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS BULLETIN EXECUTIVE OFFICES 30 BROAD STREET. NEW YORK PORTLAND PROVIDENCE SAINT LOUIS SALT LAKE CITY SAN DIEGO SAN FRANCISCO SEATTLE TULSA WATERTOWN BERLIN LONDON MANILA PARIS SHANGHAI HAVANA MEXICO CITY MONTREAL VOL. X I NEW YORK, FEBRUARY, 1928 No. 2 CLEAR expression, either oral or written, generally is accepted as an indication of clear thinking. Physiologists never have made a statement, so far as is known, explaining whether stuttering is caused by failure of the vocal apparatus to function properly, or is due to some structural defect in the brain, or to some cerebral condition which interferes with the normal operation of that organ. The person who speaks or writes tersely and precisely usually is accredited with having a keen mind. The accountant, in the course of his daily work, has the task of auditing, examining, and investigating with a view to developing facts. He may have a broad technical grasp of his subject, marked ability as an analyst, perspicacity, persistency, and poise. If he is lacking in perspicuity, or the ability to express clearly his findings and conclusions, he lacks balance. Some "wag" has said, "Do right and fear no man; don't write and fear no woman." For the accountant, this quip might be paraphrased, "Write right and sleep at night; write wrong and fear the throng." An incident came to our attention recently in which an accountant who usually thinks straight wrote some comments which were so ambiguous as to create a doubt concerning the work on which his comments were based. Any one anxious to place an unfavorable construction on the passage would have had no difficulty in doing so. On the other hand, a friendly reading of the passage made possible an interpretation which gave it an entirely different aspect; in other words, the presentation of an explanation which was perfectly plausible. The accountant's work is only partially done when he has completed the field work. It has not been finished when he has prepared the financial statements which go into the report. The comments, perhaps, are the most important part. In them the accountant has an opportunity to discuss, elucidate, qualify, and go on record as to his undertaking and the results of his work. If the comments are not clear, it may be difficult to determine whether the trouble is with the expression or with the representations which the accountant is making. The report may fall into the hands of some person who is interested in reading out of it something which never was intended. But if the report contains nothing which cannot be proved, and the construction is so sound that it cannot be misread, the accountant well may subscribe to the slogan, "Say what you mean, and mean what you say."

Lana Del Rey Named PEOPLE Magazine's Beauty of the Week
Congrats, Lana Del Rey! The stunning singer was named Beauty of the Week in PEOPLE.
The pillow-lipped singer takes a more natural look in the issue than her Vargas-girl glam in British Vogue. The New Yorker has a California look, with her long auburn hair in loose, beachy waves, neutral makeup and shorter lashes than usual. She dons hoop earrings big enough to dunk in, a white top and a thick gold chain.
In an accompanying behind-the-scenes video, Del Rey reveals that she thinks she looks best when she's onstage giving it her all. "All in white, hot, summer time, outdoor stages," she mused.
"I love being on an outdoor stage in the summertime because I can feel the wind, and I'm usually wearing a dress, especially if we're somewhere like Paris or somewhere romantic," she said. "It's just the ideal setting to just get crazy and jazzy."
So when does the 'Blue Jeans' singer not feel so hot? "I feel my worst when I get back really late from a concert and then I don't sleep," she said. "And then I have to work the next day!"
Del Rey also revealed that she tends to gravitate toward angelic hues. "I usually wear white. I love lots of white sweaters, white dresses, lots of gold, diamonds … and that's pretty much it!" We wish everyone could afford her sense of style!

The two main free destop programs that I know about, Stellarium and Celestia, do not include the proper motion of the stars when they move forward and backward in time. At least according to documentation that I've seen.
These programs claim to do it but I have no experience with them:
However, the Distant World Star Mapper at the Astoronomy Nexus will compute the proper motion when rendering sky maps. It's not a full simulation but can provide some information.
Microsoft Research's Worldwide Telescope (Free) could satisfy those requirements and then some. It's a virtual telescope with a solar system simulator and runs both as a Silverlight web app or as a desktop app.
It's extremely customizable so you can customize it to only show objects of a specific magnitude as viewed from a specific location and during a specific time.
If you have an iPhone/iPad, there's also StarWalk (commercial), which gives you a 'palm of your hand' experience for viewing the night sky from any time and location.
Yes, there are lots of them (free and not free). Try searching for "sky simulator" or "planetarium".
Just two examples:
Certainly, there are many such programs. I personally use Starry Night.
Declaration of conflict of interest => In fact, I liked the program so much I went to work with the company that makes it.
The first program I used to do that, is currently available and still free, as most modern software, allows the use of updated catalogs and the use of different times to see the simulation. Stellarium IMHO has a better rendering, even when I prefer the controls on Cartes du Ciel.
KStars for KDE/Linux, available under the GNU General Public License (GPL)
XEphem, available for free for personal use and publicly funded research (see the web page for details).
You'll have to compile it yourself though but runs on (amongst others) Linux and OS X.
Google Sky for Android does "time travel." It's free.
I wonder about your use of "in the past and future." When a star is at an appreciable distance from us, while we can still tell if it's moving away from or towards us from redshift (radial velocity), we can no longer measure how it's moving relative to the background of start (tangential velocity).
I've tried rewinding stellarium as far as it will go (the year 99998 B.C.E.) and some stars have certainly moved in the rewind. Others however, haven retained their original coordinates. The reason for this is unclear, as a star which doesn't move in the sky would be a freak coincidence (heading directly towards or away from earth). Presumably, stellarium doesn't have the required data to reproduce the tangential component of these star's velocities.
And even if they DO have this data, there's no way to really calculate (with any reasonable certainty) all of the gravitational interactions that have occurred, or are going to occur, over the star's lifetime.
For this reason, I would be surprised if it were correct in the distant past or future.
Give WinStars a shot.
Here are the chief characteristics of the software: a database of 2,500,000 stars;
a catalogue of 10,000 nebulae, galaxies and star clusters;
a direction of observation which is easily controlled by a mouse and in real time;
a precise representation of the observable sky from a point on the earth's surface on a given date;
a 3D interface to give more realism to celestial objects;
a calculation of notable astronomical phenomena visible from an observation point on the earth;
detailed information about each object;
a calculation of the positions of the principal satellites of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, of comets and of asteroids;
an outline of the celestial equator, the ecliptic, and a grid of azimuthal and equatorial coordinates;
a 3D outline of the planetary orbits
drives a large range of telescopes
compatible with the seti@home BOINC version
Internet resources are also available: updated comets and asteroids' elements, querying of DSS (Digitized Sky Survey) servers to obtain a photograph of that portion of the sky being displayed by the program, a notice of the visibility of artificial satellites, etc.

Despite the stormy weather yesterday, the Iroquois Amphitheater was packed full with a variety of different people for the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros show last night. This was the first time ESMZ have visited Louisville and the turn out could not have been better. Kyle Meredith from WFPK jokingly said he hoped the crowd was enjoying the extra light show, meaning the dynamic lightning show that was going on. The lightning was a pretty cool addition.
The opening band was Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Both bands' names are quite a mouth full to say. Long band names must be the in thing now days: Jukebox the Ghost, Mumford and Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, etc. Maybe I just didn't notice this abundance of long band names before now.
When Clap Your Hands Say Yeah first started playing I was a bit apprehensive. I had never heard this band before, and when they first started I thought they were going to be some loud experimental noise band because that is exactly what it sounded like, noise. Once they got playing though I started warming up to them. Their overall sound reminded me of a mix of New Order and Franz Ferdinand with their synth keyboard riffs and creative drum beats. In the end they earned enough credibility with me that I decided to like their Facebook page.
After their set was over there was an excessively long 20-30 minute wait before Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros came on stage. It may have been a sound system issue as Alex Ebert's, lead male singer, microphone wasn't working when they came on stage. They came out anyway, probably sensing the crowd's restlessness, and did a little a capella number while they worked on the sound equipment. Once they got that fixed they kicked the show off and they were phenomenal! There were twelve band members on stage making the sound huge. There were many different layers to the music. I could hear the core sound of the band with the guitars, vocals, and drums. Then their sound was expanded with a horn section, strings, and other little instrumental details that really made their overall sound blossom with color. ESMZ uses every band member to their full potential.
The audience loved every minute of the performance. Most people were standing and singing along. Ebert showed his love by jumping into the crowd and walking through the front row of fans. This was my first experience ever seeing girls weeping because they were in such close proximity to a performer. Luckily no one ripped his clothes off or did anything inappropriate. At one point during the concert, one girl was literally drug up the aisle by a security guard kicking and screaming. He had to have another security guard help him. Somehow she squirmed out of both their grips and plopped onto the ground. The guys just kind of stood their looking defeated as the girl flailed about on her back attempting to dance. I have no idea what events led up to her removal, but it was the most humorous moment of any concert I have ever experienced.
The show was an amazing experience. It felt like one giant love fest at the Iroquois Amphitheater with great music, ambient lighting, stormy weather, and a more than enthusiastic audience.

For number 5, one of the struggles facing ESL is the deskilling that is going on in some areas, with the race to the bottom in terms of qualifications and salaries, and this is likely only to get worse. There's a lot of money in training and there are courses churning out people who really aren't up to the job in droves. Add this to long recession and high unemployment and the outlook is gloomy in some parts, though, fortunately, this is not universal.

In Which We Are Always Traveling
by Camille Garcia
I'm stuck in rush-hour traffic on the 110 going north. It's stop and go, as usual; I'm one of many in the sea of brake lights inching forward along the serpentine freeway.
For a minute, the crawling mass of the glowing lights reminds me of the stream of fire ants I nearly stepped on in a Ugandan jungle while tracking chimpanzees. I was looking up in the trees, hoping to be the first to spot a chimp, forgetting that the real danger was on the ground. My boyfriend Luke yanked me by the backpack—hard. God bless him and his absurdly cat-like reflexes. When I looked down, my foot was suspended an inch above a rushing river of the tiny beasts that could have eaten homegrown ants for breakfast.
A troop of fire ants similar to what we saw in the Ugandan jungle
"Do not anger the fire ants," our guide had warned before our expedition. Well, leave it to me to come within an inch of getting killed, or at least close enough to incite an onslaught of stinging bites and an excruciating rash. Carefully, slowly, I tiptoed over the line of ants, wiped the sweat from my brow, and pressed on toward the thick of the jungle.
Exactly one year later, I'm stuck in the middle of an urban, concrete jungle, where prowling for a parking spot is as exhausting as prowling for apes, and, where memories of last summer's journey in Uganda and Kenya have become utterly surreal. If it weren't for the hundreds of photos I took, and the notes I scribbled on scraps of paper, every detail of those two weeks would have already vanished from memory. But even if names are forgotten and faces are obscured by time, what will endure—in absolute purity, unfettered from the stranglehold of the ticking clock —is the acute sense of freedom and joy that supplanted my fear and nervousness almost as soon as our plane touched down in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in the early morning.
Chimp tracking in Uganda.
The sun was rising above the grassy hills, glinting off the morning dew. The land, the earth, was stunning. Somehow, someway, this city-girl was walking on East African soil.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Our first stop out of Addis Ababa was Nairobi, Kenya where we met up with the rest of our tour group led by Carrie, a free-spirited white woman—who preferred to hike barefoot—who had grown up on a farm in Zimbabwe.
After spending one night in Nairobi, our group embarked on our two-week expedition across Kenya and Uganda. We boarded a chartered bus along with local travelers carrying fruits and wares headed to Kisumu, Kenya's third largest port-city that sits right on the banks of Lake Victoria. We arrived in the evening, eager to get to our hotel rooms and shower after an 8-hour drive. Of course, once Luke and I got to our room, there was the matter of arranging the mosquito nets and spraying everything down with Deet.
Mosquitoes, bats, and ants, oh my!
We took a nap under the netting, woken up by an unusual squeaking noise we traced to one of the air vents. My boyfriend and I stared at each other perplexed. A trapped mouse? I suggested. A squirrel? he thought. Are there squirrels in Africa? I asked. Maybe it's a bat. We shuddered at the possibility and decided to leave our room.
On the rooftop of our hotel, we watched the sun set over Lake Victoria.
Orange cocktails and an African sunset
We wanted to drink beers, but because a Muslim family owned the hotel, they only had a type of orange-soda/cocktail for us to drink, which was delicious. The bottle is pictured. That evening, we found a restaurant four blocks from the hotel and stuffed ourselves with American fries, curries, pasta, chicken, and rice. In the mornings, we ate at the hotel's cafe and chat with the hotel owner, while sipping on tea and nibbling on our toast and jam.
Kisumu for the most part was a peaceful city. The hum of motorbikes and mutatus, the chattering of people lingering in doorways, and children laughing while scratching pictures in the dirt were silenced only by the mosque calls at dusk.
Who would've imagined that in less than six months Kisumu would've been the epicenter of violent mobs and civil unrest following a controversial presidential election? Who would've imagined that this picturesque scene would be torn to shreds—the friendly and curious voices I heard that very moment—would be extinguished and silenced forever by the hands of angry dissidents?
To me, in my memory, Kisumu will always be this: a sunset over one of the world's largest fresh-water lakes while calls to mosque sliced the air.
Going for a ride a boda boda. Conquering a ride like this—helmet-free—was my first step toward freedom.
fishermen on Lake Victoria
Two days later, we whispered goodbye to our pet bat and to Kisumu and headed back on the road for another eight-hour ride. This time, instead of traveling on a chartered bus, Carrie, our guide, arranged for mutatus to take us into neighboring Uganda—to get the true African experience, no doubt. The mini-vans were packed to maximum capacity, not only with members of our tour, but also with locals our driver insisted on picking up along the way. At one point, 18 people were packed in this mutatu.
Mutatus. I'm not sure if there's a legal limit to the number of people who can fit into one of these.
And so there we were, Luke and I pinned to our seats, bouncing up and down the unpaved roads. With so many bodies in the van, it was crucial to have the windows down, which meant that the earth from the roads—rich with iron and blood red—would blow into our faces.
We passed through numerous towns, greeted by smiling children. Often they would shout at us and beg for our attention, and when we waved, they would jump up and down and collapse onto the ground. During one of our pit stops, we went to play with children who showed off their perfect cartwheels.
A Ugandan town
A couple of times, we spotted roaming baboons. This was the first wild animal we saw and I took about a hundred pictures of these baboons alone.
Baboons in our path
By the time we arrived in Jinja—a one-night stop on our way to Murchison Falls—our faces were caked with soil. It was everywhere: under our fingernails, in our ears, in our hair. A shower never sounded so good. I assume several of the older members of our group complained about the mutatus because for the rest of the trip, Carrie had us ride in a private bus/Winnebago.
Five showers and one night later, we proceeded northbound to Murchison Falls where we would embark on our first safari. We didn't have an exact idea of where we would be staying, but Carrie assured us it would be the most pleasant stay yet. Several hours into the trip, we went off road, heading deeper into open fields and toward the sun.
The sun was already beginning to set, as we pulled into the gravel driveway of the Nile Safari Lodge. Carrie hadn't done the place justice. Each traveling pair had their own cabin overlooking the Nile River, and we had arrived just in time to watch the indigo light envelope the sun.

The night of our arrival, our tour group ate a luxurious dinner outdoors beneath a canopy. Afterward, we took our beers to the campfire and continued to chat while Carrie played her guitar. I was mystified by the velvet black sky, glowing with a million stars. I knew it was the same sky as in Los Angeles, but in Africa, it was unlike any sky that I had ever seen.
One by one, everyone retreated to their cabins. A family of monkeys lived in the trees surrounding our cabin. At night we laid awake, listening to them scamper on the railings of the deck, along with the croaking of frogs and the grunting of hippos below us at the riverbank. This is what life sounded like away from the cities, in the pure heart of Mother Nature.
It occurred to me then that I hadn't checked my e-mail in days. I shrugged, and wiggled further into my sleeping bag. Two weeks in the wilderness, two weeks spent reveling in the simplicity of the earth, was the remedy I had been seeking to ten years spent on the go. I moved slower. I breathed easier. I felt that I could take my time.
Everyone was bustling with excitement the next morning as we prepared to head out on our first safari. We drove into Uganda's national park, where we picked up one of the park's rangers who led us on the safari.
At first, we saw nothing but the usual antelopes and gazelles. But then…
This safari beat any old trip to the zoo; especially the Los Angeles Zoo, where most of the animals are either hidden from view, behind bars, or too lethargic to move or do anything interesting.
As I watched the giraffes saunter majestically from tree to tree, I couldn't help but hum the theme song to The Lion King. Pretty soon, we were humming "Circle of Life."
Most of us weren't satisfied, however. We were still waiting to witness the great wildebeest migration and track lions in the Masai Mara. And for that, we'd have to wait a few more days.
After two days on safari in Murchison Falls, we braced ourselves for city life. Destination: Kampala, Uganda's capital where plainclothes officers carry AK-47's like they were briefcases.
Driving into Kampala, Uganda.
Kampala is a buzzing city. There are tons of outdoor markets where people sell fresh meat and poultry, vegetables, and grains; mutatus hastily weave around each other on the roads; boda bodas speed by pedestrians without any discretion; and at night, American hip-hop (and if you're lucky, Reggaeton) can be heard streaming outside hidden nightclubs.
Most of the people kept to themselves, save for the few we met while walking around the souvenir markets who were eager to hear about where we came from and how we liked Kampala. The best part of Kampala, we had to admit, was finding a fast food joint where Luke and I indulged in fried chicken. We ate everything we were given. Fried chicken just sounded so good by then.
We made out like bandits at the local souvenir shops, trying to pick out stuff that looked the least mass-produced. Probably made in China, someone suggested. I'd spent the entire summer in Asia, studying China's history, politics, and economy. I wouldn't be surprised if they had found a market in Africa for souvenirs.
After Kampala, it was back to Jinja, where our tour group would go white-water rafting on the Nile River. At this announcement, I looked over at my boyfriend, my face contorted with the urge to cry.
I consider myself adventurous up to a certain point: I like to keep my feet on stable ground. Where was my say? I'd sooner go horseback riding, or visit an orphanage. Luke reassured me that we'd be going on the Level 3 rapids. Then he kissed my forehead. I reluctantly agreed.
On the day of the big excursion, not only did I find out that we'd be rafting along 26km of the Nile River, but that we weren't talking about Level 3 baby waves. Somehow, I got sucked into the Level 5 group—one step below Level 6, which only kayaks can maneuver. My boyfriend knew this all along. I didn't talk to him for about twenty minutes until our rafting guides played a video for us. The pounding water, the soundtrack of heavy metal, the whole badass-ness of it all got me pumped. My heart was racing with anticipation. Flipping over was not a question. I wanted to flip over into the roaring waves.
"If I die, you can have my iPod, honey."
Twelve rapids (including one waterfall), five flips, one near-death experience, one excruciating sunburn, and 26km later, I was back on solid land and already making plans to go again and try skydiving when I got back home.
The seven of us couldn't stay still. To celebrate our safe return, we drank more than enough beers to ease our sore muscles while being jostled about in the bed of a truck. We headed back to the launch site where other tourists were hanging out, eating dinner, and waiting for nightfall. When the DJ blasted "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, we couldn't help but dance and sing our hearts out.
We had already spent a week and a half in Africa at this point, and our trip was winding down. The day after we conquered the Nile River, our group headed back to Kenya for our final safari.
Yes, we followed those arrows right upstairs into a room that looked like it belong in Aladdin's palace.
We spent 11 hours on the road this time, spending one night in Narok. Luckily, rooms were available right above this butchery. Meat hooks and beef hanging in the windows, the stench of blood, and flies is all I have to say about Narok.
Finally, we made it to the border of the Masai Mara where we spotted Masai warriors on patrol along with children herding cows.
Our camping site was a ways in. Naturally, baboon and wild boar loitered around our tents. We unloaded our gear before catching a ride in the safari vehicles to track lions. This safari was unlike our first safari…
I felt my own insignificance beneath this sky. I felt an air of purity. I let my fingers sink into the soft, undefiled earth.
We found our lions. This one is resting on a full stomach of wildebeest, the remains of which we spotted a few feet away.
Graceful and proud.
It takes extreme experiences to reawaken our wonder of this place we call Earth, and it's important that we don't lose that sense of intrigue. Without it we cease to be human.
We met with the Masai warriors the following day. The chief's son, a boy of about 17 years, explained their customs and showed us around his village. This would be our last day in the Masai Mara before we headed back to Nairobi for our last night in Africa. We made sure to buy those colorful blankets before we left.
Exactly one year later, I am here now, stuck in traffic. Africa seems like such a faraway place now.
It's difficult to fight the city and the way it sucks you into its cold grasp. I've resumed my daily rituals and bad habits: checking email every minute or two, browsing Facebook, making plans, spending too much time tethered to my computer desk, and driving—confined in my capsule—to and fro, back and forth, here and there.
I adjust my rearview mirror, the cluster of skyscrapers come into view. There isn't a hint of mystery to enthrall me, only the superficial beauty of the iconic Los Angeles skyline, shimmering in the orange glow of the setting sun. It sparkles. It dazzles. The phone rings. Cars honk. Hip-hop thumps out of rolled down car windows. The memory of Africa fades for the time being.
But if I can help it, I try to retain that sense of freedom, balance, and peace I experienced for two weeks in Africa. I roll down all the windows, open the sunroof, blast my music as loud as I can stand, and sing until all the city noise fades away and there's only me—a speck beneath the sky, heading home.

- Rewind to 1970
Brazil mix enough method to their magic
On June 7, 1970, defending world champions England met perhaps the finest ever Brazil side in a World Cup group-stage clash in one of the most storied games in international football history.
"You may as well meet the bull at the beginning as at the end," Brazil coach Joao Saldanha said upon being notified of the draw for the 1970 World Cup, which pitted his side against England, as well as Romania and Czechoslovakia, in Group 3. It was a view echoed by the England manager, Sir Alf Ramsey: "If we have to meet Brazil, we may as well meet them like this."
The match between Brazil and England in Guadalajara, Mexico, on June 7 was the subject of feverish anticipation for six months leading up to the tournament. England, the defending champions, would meet Brazil, the people's champions, in the teams' second game of the World Cup.
The Times viewed it as a match between "a better team, England, and better creative artists, Brazil"; the Daily Express summed it up as "Magic vs Method". It did not disappoint. Brazil, having claimed glory in 1958 and 1962, had travelled to Mexico with a point to prove after being bundled out of the 1966 tournament with a whimper.
Public pressure had led the selectors to rely on fading stars like Garrincha in '66 but, though lessons were there to be learned, it appeared the Brazilian federation had not altered its thought process: ahead of the 1970 World Cup, former journalist Saldanha was appointed to lead the national team, seemingly in a bid to ease tensions with a hostile media.
Just three months before the tournament, though, the much-derided Saldanha was sacked amid remarkable claims of turmoil behind the scenes. At one stage, Saldanha had apparently aimed a revolver at Flamengo coach Dorival Yustrich after he publicly questioned him, and Antonio Do Passo, the head of the team's technical commission, demanded Saldanha's dismissal on the grounds that he was "emotionally unstable and not fit to continue in charge of the Brazilian players". He added: "We are walking over the same road that led this team to failure in England four years ago."
So it was that a World Cup-winning former player, Mario Zagallo, arrived to steady the ship. After a 5-0 friendly victory over Chile in his first match, Brazil went unbeaten under their new coach heading to the finals. In their first game in Mexico, they blew Czechoslovakia away 4-1. England, meanwhile, had seen off Romania 1-0 in their opener in a match most memorable for the provocation handed out to Ramsey's men. Next, Brazil would face England. "England are more solid, more defensive than the Czechs," Pele said, "but they don't have players with the same skills we have."
Both teams faced significant setbacks in the build-up. Brazil suffered the loss of their great midfielder Gerson to injury. England suffered the loss of sleep, with around 100 Brazilian fans attempting to break into the players' hotel rooms while klaxons and car horns blared outside. Unbelievably, a number of England fans then managed to get onto the team bus after pretending to be players. Ramsey lodged a complaint with FIFA, and the governing body then made an official complaint to the Mexican government. "It was too much," England midfielder Bobby Charlton said.
What unfolded at the Estadio Jalisco the following day, though, bore no trace of sleep deprivation. After 18 minutes of absorbing play came one of football's finest moments as Gordon Banks sprang into action to make a low save from Pele's bullet header.
So stunning were the England goalkeeper's reflexes that the Brazilian players asked the media afterwards whether he was a martial artist. Banks later told The Observer: "I heard Pele shout 'goal' as he headed it, which was followed by a massive, almost deafening, roar. Even though I'd got a hand to it, I thought he must have scored. Then I realised the crowd were cheering for me."
Pele was left dumbfounded. "I could not believe what I saw," he said. "At that moment, I hated Banks more than any man in football. When I cooled down, I could only applaud him in my heart. It was the greatest save I have ever seen."
For much of the encounter, Pele was kept under wraps by Alan Mullery, whom the forward praised afterwards as one of the finest opponents he had faced, but Jairzinho - a wizard with the ball at his feet - was another matter. England were, Ramsey later admitted, "wilting under the Brazil pressure early in the second half" and, with 59 minutes on the clock, Jairzinho broke the deadlock, collecting a pass from Pele before hammering past Banks. Brazil captain Carlos Alberto, who scored one of football's greatest ever goals in the World Cup final against Italy, told The Observer in 2002 that the two efforts had much in common. "It was almost the same situation, but I think Jairzinho's was better," he said.
Ramsey had brought on Jeff Astle and Colin Bell for Franny Lee and Bobby Charlton in the 64th minute to force an equaliser, and his changes should have paid dividends. Astle made an open-goal chance for Alan Ball, who miskicked, and Astle himself then spurned a similarly gilt-edged opportunity after a mix-up in the Brazilian defence. England, though, could not force a goal and the match finished 1-0. "The best team did not win today," Ramsey said afterwards. "Brazil were very good in an even match. They took their one chance, which is where we failed."
There was no bitterness. At the final whistle, Pele and Moore had sought one another out to swap shirts to produce one of football's great iconic images. "Bobby Moore has proved himself to be one of the most important figures who have ever played the game," Pele said afterwards. Jairzinho later told FourFourTwo: "I remember after the game all of the England squad came over to meet the Brazilian players and we had some tea and coffee together, which was nice." England were defeated, but there was no shame. As Zagallo noted after the game, they had forced this great Brazil team "to play hard, precise and more scientific soccer - not like the ballet performance against Czechoslovakia".
Newspapers across the globe were united in their praise of both teams, with both El Mundo Deportivo in Spain and A Bola in Portugal describing it as the tournament's "real final", and the encounter has stood the test of time. "That game is like a lesson," Jairzinho added in his FourFourTwo interview in 2002. "A lot of coaches throughout Brazil use that game as a reference when coaching young players."
Its significance was not lost on the legendary AC Milan manager Nereo Rocco, who extolled its virtues in the aftermath. "This is football," he told La Stampa. "I went to Ramsey and introduced myself and congratulated him. Bravo to him - to the great English, to the great Brazilians. All we can do is learn from them. Look at the English - far from home, nobody loves them - but they are tough. They are stubborn. They fight for every ball. I can only applaud. I take my hat off to them, even if they lost."
What happened next?
Pele had said a final between England and Brazil would represent "a wonderful boost for world football", but Ramsey's men exited at the quarter-final stage as they threw away a two-goal lead in a 3-2 defeat to 1966 finalists West Germany. Brazil marched on to the final, where Italy were swept aside in a 4-1 victory that, for many, showed one of the sport's finest ever teams at their very best.

Tonight, the CBS hit series Criminal Minds once again loses an original cast member, AJ Cook (Jennifer Jareau). The loss of cast members is not a new experience to fans of the show - as series lead Mandy Patinkin (Jason Gideon) and co-star Lola Glaudini (Elle Greenaway) have both previously departed from the series.
However, this time is different.
While Patinkin left Criminal Minds because he grew tired of the amount of violence in the series and Glaudini left to return to her home on the East Coast, Cook was unceremoniously fired. For some reason, "the powers that be" deemed Cook's character to be expendable. Even though thousands of fans wrote CBS, ABC Studios (the production company), and signed petitions - there was nothing that could be done. AJ Cook was fired and Jennifer Jareau is gone.
As Criminal Minds continues forward, one has to wonder whether the absence of her character will be felt by those watching - especially after the terrible season 5 finale and season 6 premiere.
Is this the beginning of the end?

4GB SanDisk microSDHC™ Connected Memory Card Enables Secure, Affordable
and Accessible Content for a High-Quality Mobile Experience
Milpitas, Calif., December 20, 2010--SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), the global leader in flash memory cards, today announced a secure, card-based media solution with network-connected memory to support Cricket's new unlimited Muve MusicTM wireless service. SanDisk's technology will allow consumers on the Cricket 3G network to enjoy premium digital content on their mobile phones without the need for a computer to download music.
Muve Music includes unlimited talk, text and Web plus unlimited music downloads, ringtones and ringback tones. Muve Music content is downloaded DRM-free over Cricket's 3G network to the phone. The content is stored and protected on the SanDisk flash memory card. By alleviating the need for any digital rights management scheme (DRM), handset performance and battery life can be improved, resulting in a high-quality mobile experience.
"With the help of SanDisk, we have created an innovative new way to protect digital content without the use of DRM," said Jeff Toig, vice president and general manager, voice and data products, Cricket. "This solution enables a superior overall experience for Muve Music customers. They will have immediate and easy access to all the music they love while the music industry has the confidence it needs in a secure mobile music solution."
"Cricket is a leading-edge mobile network service provider that knows how to deliver value and innovation to its customers," said Daniel Schreiber, senior vice president, software and solutions, SanDisk. "The use of our advanced technology to secure the Muve Music service is one of those ways. We help Cricket deliver a great quality of service and a premium experience, and we are pleased to serve as a value-added solutions provider to Cricket."
The Cricket Muve Music service will be available in January 2011 and initially on the Samsung SuedeTM mobile phone.
Hardware-based Security Is Effective, Transparent to Consumers
When consumers download music from the Muve Music service over Cricket's nationwide 3G network to the card without the need of a computer, the SanDisk card's built-in security technology immediately and automatically encrypts the content. SanDisk's intelligent security technology allows conditional access to music content by regulating the network connection through the card, where music files are encrypted and stored. Using SanDisk's technology, Cricket is able to provide a secure hosting environment with controlled access to the content based on the current status of a customer's service plan-a reliable solution that is ideal for pre-paid services.
SanDisk's security technology recognizes the authentication credentials assigned to each service subscriber. The technology acts as a key that grants access to the Cricket-controlled partition on the microSDHC card where music can be downloaded from the Cricket Muve Music service in the cloud and then stored remotely to the card. The card secures content by verifying the user's account status before granting them access to the service.

Assemble the gantry
Lay the parts on something soft to prevent scratches. First step is to remove the protective covers from the rails and clean them with acetone, this will clean off the thin wax layer that will be on them. As shown the Z axis assembly will get the short rails.The Z axis rails will then be slid into the rail ends of the gantry sides. Upper and lower gantry frame support members are then installed and held in place with threaded rods. Snug the rods then finally tighten just enough to remove the gaps between the upper, lower and side members.

I started on a CNC Lathe Project several months ago (at my current rate of progress, I *may* get it finished by 2012) and have since noticed a rash of DIY CNC Posts all over the Web.
Hey Almost there,
I have noticed the same increase in the area. Are you building most of yours or is it kit based?
Looks like a fine machine. Looks like one person could handle the entire build. I am looking forward to seeing the controller go together.
Very slick Vid & image blog of the assembly…

The V90 Fireball looks like a fantastic value for the money…
the only other kit I've seen (though I've not been actively
looking…) is a kit featured on the cover of the Jan 2007
issue of Elektor magazine out of the UK…
The working area was 30cm X 40cm and a Z plunge of 10cm.
Considerably less than the Fireball…
The price was 1,599 Euro's (2007 currency) though it did
include the drivers & motors at that price.
All the Best with the V90, it looks like it's going to be
well used!
Hi Frank,
The motors are 280 OzIn. I am still learning but I am very happy with the speed and power that the motors provide.
What type of machine is yours? Home made?
oh yeah… very home made, at least the 1st one was…
And it was used to make some of the parts for the 2nd one…
I have a 3rd mill that is stalled in it's construction due
to an issue I have to resolve…
there are a few pics at the link below…
The links under 3 axis mill is the Gen-1, and those labelled
Nex-Mill 15 are of the Gen 2 mill…
With those motors it must just fly…
I'm running 60 oz/in motors over-volted to 12V and get 90 ipm on
moves between cuts, but typically 30 to 45 ipm depending on the
material being machined…
>I have noticed the same increase in the area.
>Are you building most of yours or is it kit based?
Kit? Hell no. It's not a Lathe in the traditional sense, it has precision rotation of the part being worked so you can actually drill an image (yes, a picture of a person) on to a dowel (think of a typical CNC with the "Y" component being rotation of a wooden dowel.) At my current rate of progress, I may (possibly) have it done as early as 2012 🙂 I'll probably build a Web Page for it when it gets further along (make that *IF* it gets…)

We had a wonderful time showing We See Fireworks in Edinburgh at the wonderfully eccentric and welcoming Museum of Edinburgh. Closeted in the upper most part of the 17th Century building we filled our beautiful Lecture Room space with flickering light and ghosted voices as over 600 people visited the installation to surround themselves with remembered performative encounters. We even had some reviewers take the trip along Canongate to visit us, read what The Herald and Three Weeks had to say...!
Our lightbulbs are now being carefully bubble-wrapped and shipped off to Grenswerk 11 in the Netherlands for a run from the 25 September to 2 October 2011. We will also be presenting the new film work of We See Fireworks as part of the Australian Theatre Forum 2011 from 14 - 16 September at Brisbane Powerhouse.

Javascript: The Good Parts, is the name of the one of the greatest book written on modern Javascript. Author Douglas Crockford who invented his own JSON spec and also invented JSLint explains why Javascript is not an inadequate language of the web after all. It's good parts make up for anything that's wrong or inconsistent. You just have to learn to know it.
If you skip the book, don't miss this video of a presentation he gave at Google.
Since the arrival of modern javascript libraries like jQuery, made the life of a Javascript programmer so much easier. Letting you focus on "What to accomplish" more than "How to accomplish and bring it all together". Which is great. It also provided a better separation of concerns, getting rid of inline event handling hooks and styling. The MV-VM Javascript library KnockoutJS is yet another tool in the kit, that has brought goodies like observable properties and arrays, viewmodels etc to the web programming arena. With appropriate use of jQuery Templates, you can get Silverlight/WPF like data-template and control-template like capabilities. This morning I discovered d3, this helps dealing with both DOM and SVG way easier.
I am excited how things are getting more and more standardized and easier to use with all the excitement around HTML5, CSS3 etc.
Now on to Tools. One of the areas where 'Web Development' lags behind compared to Desktop/Client development is Tools. Tools that are transparent, easy to use, provide context, help and do not stand between the developer and the end result. Historically all these deficiencies have scared away the transition of a VB developer in to the pure web programmer, and thus ASP.Net came in to prominence making the developers not think about javascript, html at all and live in the land of Server Controls, View States and Magical unicorns, in the name of productivity, RAD or whatever you want to call it. While I completely agree ASP.Net filled a void and served well it's real purpose at the time, it also delayed the emergence of frameworks like ASP.Net MVC. I am speaking in the context of a Enterprise .Net developer here.
ASP.Net MVC brought the shine back to web development on the MS .Net stack. When you have complete control over your markup, scripting, styling, URLs, routing, views, controllers and models, you can have greater transparency and focus on "What you want to create". Yet built on top of the same ASP.Net's core foundation, which is solid and evolving with each new version.
Coming back to Tools, I am crazy about 'Chrome Developer Tools'. It's brilliant. Simply love the way Chrome is supporting developers by providing context based, transparent and easy to use information about what got rendered on the client and moving away from just relying on "view source". All though IE-9 is trying to catch up, when you compare, Chrome is years ahead of IE-9.
Learn more about 'Chrome Developer Tools' and dont' miss the video to get a quick look at it.
You might also want to use pure web-based tools like the awesome JSFiddle. For a full introduction and how-to guide for JSFiddle.Net, read this blog post by Ryan. I am using it on regular basis, when there is a need to create any client side UI development. Prototype it there, once it's functional, bring the source code back to your application.
Happy web programming folks!

The following article looks at the recent reasons for Arab interest in regulating their domestic equity markets. It especially highlights the impact of attracting foreign portfolio investment and the role of privatization.
An article I wrote recently mentioned the role of Arab stock exchanges in facilitating the process of privatization, which entailed substantial equity diversification in terms of ownership and corporate control. Kuwait was seen as a prime example of a successful Arab country who utilized its equity markets in its privatization drive.
Particularly in the Kuwaiti context, methods of share disposal varied from block public auctions using the facilities of the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) to selling listed shares at a discount to mutual funds. Additionally, primary issues through offering shares to the public and direct (secondary markets) sale of listed shares to small investors were also used. For their part, primary issues were of significant importance in the Kuwaiti experience — between September 1994 to December 1997, for example, the government offered 771.38 million shares which attracted more than 200,000 subscriptions.
Indeed one can further argue that the mere fact that formerly public held companies are now listed on local capital markets, has also given added incentives to foreign investors to participate in the privatization process, knowing that they can always consolidate their equity holding through the market. For example, when the Jordanian government sold off 33 percent of its share in the Jordan Cement Factories Company to the French company Lafarge in late 1998, Lafarge consolidated its control through buying extra 6.9 percent of the shares on the Amman Bourse — thus raising its stake to nearly 40 percent.
Moreover, as a result of privatization many Arab countries now boast with equity markets that list almost all the major companies in the national economies. For example in the past four years, the number of listed companies on Arab equity markets increased by a healthy 30 percent. From 1,194 at the end of the fourth quarter of 1996, the number of listed Arab companies reached 1,549 by the end of the second quarter of 1999.
The role of the private sector is also likely to be enhanced through the many industrial non-oil projects which are on the increase in order to offset plummeting oil revenues. For, many GCC countries are becoming less dependent on oil as main export and are diversifying their national economies. (Mainly by building petrochemical industries with significant potentials for private sector contribution). In the UAE, for example, non-oil sectors contributed 63 percent of the GDP in 1995.
Moreover, the non-oil revenues of Abu Dhabi (which generates 90 percent of the UAE's federal income) grew at an annual rate of 20 percent in 1998. In a similar vein, Oman is also lessening its dependence on oil revenues and diversifying its budgetary revenues through opening up the economy to the private sector to invest in pharmaceutical, banking, services and petrochemical industries. While in recent years it stood at 65 percent, total oil revenue in Oman's 1999 budget is likely to decline to 39 percent.
The capitalization of most Arab equity markets has also, on the whole, been increasing. For example, in the first quarter of 1997 capitalization of Arab equity markets was $121.581 billion compared to $108.251 billion in the last quarter of 1996. This appreciation continued generally to rise reaching $127.000 billion in the second quarter of 1999. Recent deepening of Arab equity markets was not only the result of privatization or the listing of more formerly off-limits companies, but also due to unprecedented large-scale Arab acceptance of foreign portfolio investment on their equity markets.
Although it is commonplace for Western capitalist economic systems (and the majority of emerging economies) to allow foreign investment, such a practice was prohibited by Arab countries. Again, the reason for this was due to Arab notions of sovereignty over national corporations and deep-rooted suspicion of foreign control over local companies, especially the strategically important ones (such as telecommunications, utilities, industrial, banking, transport, mining, etc). Additionally, the official rhetoric that was deployed by many Arab countries, which saw in foreign ownership of local companies a vestige of colonialism, made Arab culture generally averse to foreign presence even on an innocuous commercial level.
This hostile culture has, however, been gradually changing since the early 1990s due to a convergence of political and economic reasons. Such convergence can especially be illustrated after the unprecedented multilateral 1991 Madrid peace conference and Arab need to find alternative sources of external financing.
In this respect, the Middle East and North Africa economic summits, various Euro-Mediterranean agreements, coupled with Arab countries' desire to join multinational treaties like the WTO, have added considerable impetus to the momentum of opening up to foreign investors. Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Bahrain and the Palestinians were among the first Arab countries that adjusted their regulations to allow foreign corporate ownership. — ( Jordan Times )

I have a roll of kraft color drop paper that painters use, got it from HOme Dept very inexpensively. I use this for those really last minute things that need a quick papering!
I stamped on it with the Pin Dot Scrapblock to make a background in White Staz-on, and then used "Joyful Winter Wishes"to stamp the snowman and the snowflakes, and the sentiment is from "Christmas Kritters" .
A Marvy scallop punch for the tag (out of the stamped wrapping paper to cut down on time!) and some pretty ribbon and you are done!! Very cute and super fast!!!

What is Great Lakes Oil For Life?
Regular maintenance is a must if you want to extend the life of your vehicle. However, many of us lead full and busy lives, and tend to non-intentionally neglect our vehicle's care. With Great Lakes Oil For Life, you can make your routine maintenance an easy and priceless task. For a one time flat fee of only *$229, you can take the worry out of vehicle upkeep.
This plan includes?
There is no other place I would take my vehicles to. Great Lakes Auto Repair has the lowest prices around and some of the most knowledgeable technicians in the industry. The service is top notch and the work is excellent!!!
The best place in town to go. Great Lakes Auto Repair has always helped me with my vehicle repairs. They are honest and fair and always helpful in whatever way possible. If you want to go somewhere that will look out for your best interest, this is the place!
I had a great experience with great Lakes auto! Matt was wonderful, and helpful through the whole process. They diagnosed and repaired my vehicle the same day! I am very pleased with their service, I will definitely returning for future repair needs, as well as recommending them to friends and family. Thanks again Matt!
Great service tries to help you save money great friendly people Update stayed an hour just to get the job done and waited until I got there!
I have taken both of my Honda Civics to Great Lakes Auto and have been completely satisfied with their service and free loaner car every time. Matt and his crew are very knowledgeable for repairs on all types of vehicles. They give friendly service as well as recommendations for repairs needed without being hard pressured into the repairs. Keep up the good work Great Lakes Auto Repair.
Had my car fixed and fixed correctly the first time, competitively priced with outstanding customer service by knowledgeable technicians. Was my first time going there, but now it will be the only place I take my car.
If you want an honest and reasonable place, it's here! They are amazing.
This is a good shop with qualified mechanics and fair prices. As a customer since they first opened, and a former employee, I can guarantee you on any given day this place is far too busy to fix anything on your car that isn't necessary. Their mechanics are certified and very knowledgeable. They often take on jobs no one else wants or can handle. The entire staff is very friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Whether it be giving customers a ride to and from, shopping around for parts, dealing with tight deadlines, staying late, or anything in between, Great Lakes will do what it takes to make your experience as pleasant as possible. They are also very good at prioritizing what needs fixed now and what can wait when on a budget. All of their work is warrantied and they stand behind anything they do. When it comes to prices they are exceptionally competitive. If you find someone to do it cheaper than these guys it's probably not going to come with a receipt, and cash will be the only form of payment excepted. I highly recommend this shop for any of your repair needs.
My experience with great lakes auto has always been tremendously well.. Great Lakes Auto works with you and your budget..They always let you know what needs to be fixed first if your budget is tight..I love having my 10% discount..I love my free oil change for life.. when they had the free oil change for life program I jumped on it quick.. I save a lot of money with Great Lakes Auto.. John is excellent and Matt is the best.. I love them all..
I've been brining my 70's classic and late model vehicles to Great Lakes Auto Repair for several years now. Whether it's a minor brake repair or something more major and complex, it's not just a job, rather they truly care about the quality of work and attention to detail. Quotes are accurate, follow-up and communication are very timely. I truly appreciate the time spent taking me through repairs and explaining, in great detail, why and how certain repairs were done. Without a doubt, they have Integrity and trust, at a fair cost.
I had a great experience with Great Lakes Auto Repair. They are quick but thorough! They are upfront about prices and let you know what needs to be fixed in order of priority. Which I really appreciated. Very nice and professional whenever we spoke, and kept me updated on everything before they performed the work.
These are my go-to people. I will go way out of my way to get here (like 200 miles towed). They are completely honest about everything and have never overcharged anything. They are making a living not a killing. This place is absolutely the best I have ever experienced. They have gone WAY out of their way to ensure that I am taken care of. I can't tell you how comforting it is to have an honest mechanic shop that does great work. I cannot recommend this place enough.
They were honestly the best and most honest service I have ever had and they took care of all the dealings with the warranty company. The best part is the times were tight it was days before Christmas they made a Huge discount for the labor to give me a break-in the price.they told me exactly what I would need to get the truck back on the road and they also told me were I could save a few bucks they were all around great guys and easy to work with I would recommend them to anyone for your auto needs

The BrewEasy™ Electric is a revolutionary new ultra-compact and economical all grain brewing system. This patent pending system and process utilizes a two kettle recirculation infusion mash system called the Kettle-RIMS™ or K-RIMS™ process for short. This system is very simple to use and is a very approachable way to transition from extract brewing into all grain brewing. The BrewEasy™ Electric provides all the simplicity of a brew-in-a-bag (BIAB) system, but eliminates the cloudy wort, messy lifting, and does so with much better efficiency!
This Turnkey Kit includes all of the necessary equipment to produce 5 gallon batches of beer from the BrewEasy™.
Mash in the upper vessel, while using the lower to recirculate wort and raise mash temps as necessary. Recirculation flow rate is controlled by included orifices, allowing for 6 flow settings from 0.5 - 2.0 gpm. After conversion, simply open your Mash Tun valve, letting your wort drain into your Boil Kettle, at which point you're ready to boil and should be getting your hops ready!
Please note the Blichmann KettleKart™ (BL255) and Blichmann Therminator™ (BL100) are not included.
Already own some Blichmann gear? Check out the modular BrewEasy™ Lid Adapter Kits. These are designed to upgrade your system if you already own the Burner, Pump, and appropriately sized Kettles.
