This is the kit that provides all of the tools, ingredients, and easy-to-follow instruction to make four gallons of home-brewed craft beer. The kit includes two hopped malt extracts–an India Pale Ale (a reddish-gold hoppy ale) and a Witbier (a Belgian wheat beer with coriander and orange notes)–that are combined with the included yeast and tap water in the two-gallon fermentation tank for seven days.

A spout on the tank allows you to easily fill the eight reusable 1-liter plastic bottles, where the beer develops natural carbonation and is ready to drink in just seven days. The beer will have a 4.6% ABV (approximately) and may be bottle-conditioned for up to four months to enhance its clarity and flavor. The detailed instruction manual guides you through every stage of the brewing process, explains the role of each ingredient, and provides 18 additional recipes.

Twenty million dollars. Say it with me…twenty…million…dollars. Wow. They must have seen this guy coming a mile away.

The hard-to-believe story started started in 2004 when moneyed pianist Roger Davidson asked Mount Kisco computer store owners Vickram Bedi, 36, and his Icelandic girlfriend Helga Invarsdottir, 39, to rid his computer of a virus. On learning of Davidson’s wealth, the pair are alleged to have concocted an elaborate social engineering scam that defrauded him of somewhere between the $6 million the police have been able to confirm with an upper figure of as much as $20 million.

Spanning almost a foot from stem to stern, this is the only remote controlled Millennium Falcon from the classic Star Wars series. Two counter-rotating rotors built into the hull provide vertical movement that evokes the nimble hovering of the iconic spaceship as it prepared for interstellar flights, operating like a helicopter. The craft can move forward, backward and sideways, controlled from up to 30′ with the three-channel remote. Trim controls on the remote enables precise rotor tuning for stable, level flights.
