Pico countertop craft automatic brewery for the inexperienced home brewer - Images



In 2013, PicoBrew unveiled its Zymatic automatic beer brewing appliance, which was marketed to professional microbreweries as a way to create high-quality, repeatable test batches of new beer recipes. Now the Seattle-based startup has launched the PicoBrew Pico on Kickstarter. A smaller, more stylish version of the Zymatic, it's aimed at the home brewer with little or no experience, but a desire to make craft beer with as little effort and mess as possible.

John Ivison: Tories search for a little sunshine of their own as they look for a new leader | National Post

Is this really an end of an era ?



All of the Conservatives I spoke with remain comfortable with the pillars of the party’s plan — low taxes, balanced budgets, free trade. “We got the big things right,” said Kenney.



I agree but we have to stop the citizen terrorization programs as in Bill 51..........

Globe2Go What is gov­ern­ment good for? It’s time for an an­swer.

Globe2Go



Government is now a big whale that can’t swim, that can’t keep up with the fast-changing global economy. It has too many management layers, too many oversight bodies and too many public servants generating performance reports that feed a fabricated bottom line that has no footing. The government is now also home to too many conflicting goals and has piled on too many activities on top of one another. In the process, it has lost sight of its core responsibilities, including managing effectively a regulatory regime that not only is able to set standards, but also to make sure that they are respected, as LacMégantic so clearly demonstrated. Notwithstanding high-profile program reviews, the government still relies on across-theboard cuts to control spending.

From sea to sea, Canadian institutions head for rack and ruin | rabble.ca



Can all the king's men put Humpty dumpty back together again?

"Canadians have lost confidence, even feel betrayed, by the heedless sense of entitlement that has brought these institutions to their present state of disgrace. Public service, simple respect for peers, commonsense and common decency -- they all seem ideals from an earlier innocent age. It's a sad time for the country."

LONG-TERM CARE REPORT: More profit, more issues | Brantford Expositor



There are more than 20,000 people on waiting lists to get into one of Ontario 629 nursing homes and the most conservative projections about the need for new beds say we need 50% more beds in the next 25 years due to the "silver tsunami."
