Renewable energy 'simply WON'T WORK': Top Google engineers
@cray74 - there might be 35GW of geothermal power across the planet
>And geothermal? With conventional systems, the available sources aren't going to be powering too many cities - there might be 35GW of power across the planet for existing technology
Epic fail 67,246 GWh already exists!
Re: I seem to remember
>Geothermal has been explored. Like so many other ideas it falls over as soon as you do the detail work and find that a practical engineering implementation...
You what!
I've seen installations that have been working for about the last 50 plus years and they are competing with hydro, gas and coal. The Wairakei plant in the North Island of New Zealand is an excellent example.
New Zealand is still building them, I think the last one was sometime last year, so much for not being practical!
Turnbull: Coding skills 'will be almost as important as literacy and numeracy'
Engineering needs Science
And we all know the liberals hate science, it gets in the way of their religion.
How will they react when they find out that to code you need to understand logic and good logic and religion don't always mix.

I will never trust the government it is too easy for them to define what they don't what people to see. The changes the Tony Abort and his mates are trying to make look just like the US tea party would like, right wing and religious. This could mean that anything left wing and non christian would be offensive.
Americans to be guinea pigs in vast chip-and-PIN security experiment
Re: Not such a big change
>>With chip+pin you get to enter your pin in 100s of different terminals at every convenience store, gas station and cafe.
Er, this is the same with your basic debit card, the only difference is you swipe the stripe and then key in the pin. You can do this in the same 100s of places on the same terminal that could be compromised in the same way.
Re: Possible option:
Why, chip-and-sig is a huge fail! No body ever checks the signature, anyone can use your card and just sign with something that just vaguely like your signature. Doh!
Turnbull to Big Content: Let your movies RUN FREE ... for a fair price

This will depend on the humidity. The only place I've ever had a shock from a door knob was in the Midwest of the US (Iowa) in the middle of winter when it was a dry as. In the tropics where you spend all your time sweating you can never build up any charge.
IBM PCjr STRIPPED BARE: We tear down the machine Big Blue would rather you forgot
Re: Bah!
It has NOTHING to do with the physical size of the capacitor. The mainframe caps you refer to will completely destroy a screw driver, but they are only 5 volts or maybe 12 volts.
The capacitors inside a monitor / TV or microwave operate at thousands of volts. the EHT section in a TV or monitor is typically 22kv.
It is extremely unlikely that 5 or 12 volts can give you any sort of shock unless you place the cap on your tongue. 22kv can and will kill you.
It is the energy in the capacitor that melts the screwdriver and the amount of energy in the EHT section of a monitor is not enough to do any major damage to a screwdriver. But the volotage is enough to punch through the skin and flow through a human body and if it crosses the chest it can stop the heart!
Re: Bit of a whimp
It is not only the HT capacitors. the The screen tube is plated inside and out and it is used to smooth the EHT! That can give you one hell of a bite!

'Climate change' event dishes up sous vide supercomputers
Mercury is NOT a unit of temperature
It is a poisonous heavy metal, a planet or the name of an old god!
Because it is poisonous it has not been used in thermometers for years, these days thermometers use a coloured alcohol or they are electronic. So the statement "and in spite of the mercury getting close to 44°C" should be "and in spite of the red coloured alcohol getting close to 44°C" or "and in spite of the electrons getting close to 44°C".
Or, if you wanted to be CORRECT it should be "and in spite of the temperature getting close to 44°C".

'Climate change is like Y2k!' - Oz senator
Y2K nearly destroyed my marriage
I was working as a contractor in bank at the time and for 18 months I was fly in and fly out 12 hour plus days replacing the old system with one that was Y2K compliant. I even ended up riding shotgun when it went live waiting for the first ATM/EFTPOS transactions to start flowing. I ended up having to do a patch on the live production system, THAT was scary!
It totally stuffed me, but at least I ended up with an awesome amount of frequent flier points and help with a good holiday.
Tools like this senator have no idea and it is extremely dangerous that these idiots get elected.

Torvalds shoots down call to yank 'backdoored' Intel RdRand in Linux crypto
Re: "Random"
>There is no such thing as "random", at least according to some researchers who tested the statement.
Incorrect, try quantum fluctuation. Quantum mechanics runs on randomness.
The quantum noise from a diode is random and is used in random number generators. I don't know exactly what the intel engineers used, but basing it on the random quantum noise from a semi conductor junction would appear to be the easiest method.
However, if there is any post processing of the random number...
Queensland bans IBM from future work
Re: What happened to you, Big Blue?
I was in part of a very large consultancy firm bought by IBM. They told us all that nothing would change. BS! they just pushed us into being box shifters for software and server groups.
Previous to IBM we called them clients, in IBM they were customers. I hated it as we could see what was happening in terms of ripping off the client. But we were told to only deliver to the bare minimum of the RFP regardless of where it would actually do what the client needed. When the whole thing failed (as it did several times) the client was told we delivered what you asked for not what you wanted.
To me IBM knows cost of everything and the value of nothing.

WD: Enjoying our $630m, Seagate? Let's ruin your day with our results
Re: Poor quality
Totally agree, I've had THREE WD drives fail, two caviar black and a caviar green. All were under warranty. Bought the caviar green and it failed under warranty, it was replaced with a caviar black, it failed and was again replaced with a caviar black, IT FAILED again under warranty. I gave up and bought a Hitachi and I've had no problems since.
I will never trust WD again.

Re: Magnetic field
>Classical mechanics<
This issue I have with this is the term "classical" as apposed to "quantum" for a true event horizon to exist you MUST be able to exceed the speed of light. To me as a large mass collapses the gravitational hole created will slow the collapse to extremely close to zero, so to actually create an event horizon you would actually need to exceed the speed of light in the gravitational hole to be able to collapse it further.

Agile development may be taught in Australian High Schools
Agile = joke
Agile has to be the worst IT project management process I've ever worked under and I've been in the industry for 30+ years. It is reactive not proactive, trying to reduce everything to a two week sprint is a joke, on any decent size IT project that I've worked on many of the individual tasks have been longer than that and any attempt to break them down causes task fragmentation and increased the effort required to re-integrate each of the fragmented parts back into a functioning whole. Agile which is based on JiT etc is really great for a continuous process like a car production line but not for a single project, if it was they would be using it for the process of building bridges, buildings and other engineering projects. The best PM techniques I've used have been in the software engineering sphere and with those software was treated like any other engineering discipline and process.

Check your insurance premiums
If you really want to know if climate change is occurring just check how much your insurance premiums have increased over the last few years.
Insurance companies are like bookies, they look to the odds and if their payouts are increasing because of more extreme weather events then they will be increasing premiums to cover the additional costs.
So, if the average premium is increasing inline with inflation then no climate change, if however they are increasing faster than inflation then there is something happening and odds on it is linked to climate change! In Australia in some places they have gone up by double, triple, 10 times... This does appear to be indicative of something...
Astronaut yells FIRE ... from SPAAAACE
Mercury is NOT a unit of measure!
It is temperature NOT mercury, Mercury is a planet or a heavy metal. It has been decades since it was used in any thermometer. These days they are either red alcohol or electronic!
So If you have to use stupid terms like "The mercury hit .." the correct option should be "The red coloured alcohol hit.." or "The Electrons hit..".

Doug also evolved into one of the best and most sought-after sound engineers in the area, constantly giving his time, expertise and sound equipment to various bands and local charity events.
Doug also worked very hard to promote the local music scene and its' many musicians, always encouraging young players to get out there and perform.
Whatever it was that a band, local artists or organization needed, Doug would do it with no questions asked.
"Doug was one of the best sound engineers in New England, and would give you the shirt off his back," Josh Parker of the local band Stonewall stated at the time of his passing.
Doug had worked with Stonewall, engineering their debut and very successful release titled What If?
Indeed, Mr. Bashaw was a very special person and talented musician, and to this day he is truly missed and not forgotten.
In fact, each year on his birthday (Jan. 16), many family members and friends trudge through the snow to visit Doug at the cemetery, cranking up Led Zeppelin on the boom box to reminisce about a man that continues to create a huge impact on the lives of many who loved him.
Indeed, heaven has one heck of a musician and sound engineer in the band. Happy birthday Doug.

Oregon head coach Chip Kelly is now expected to make the jump to the NFL after the end of the college football season. He has revolutionized college football and is one of the hottest coaching prospects on the radar this year. Now it's being reported that Kelly will want complete control of personnel decision making with any team he joins next season. Will a NFL franchise be willing to give him that kind of power? Kelly was inches away from taking the head coaching job last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but backed away at the last minute, returning to the University of Oregon. This season, with issues surrounding the university, the jump to the next level seems inevitable. There are questions as to whether or not Kelly's high octane offense will work in the NFL or whether it will become another gimmick. I happen to think that he will be successful in the NFL. Kelly is a very smart football coach and he can adapt his offense to fit the next level, but he will need to have the ...

And that means there is now a whole range of different solutions to tackle every hair loss problem.
Regaining a full, healthy head of hair needn't cost you the earth. There is a hair restoration technique for every budget.
Full hair loss due to medical reasons like alopecia or cancer treatment, or female or male pattern baldness can be addressed in a number of ways.
HJO hair restoration can also address thinning hair due to damage caused by hair extensions or colouring, hair pulling or bald patches.
This means you can now get on with your life without feeling self-conscious about your hair.
HJO is at the forefront of the hair restoration industry, and has a hair loss solution for everyone.
At HJO there is a huge choice of our own bespoke hair extensions and hair pieces, wigs, bio skin hair systems and integrated hair systems.
We can also prescribe hair regrowth medication and we work with a top Harley Street surgeon for those seeking hair transplants and with the renowned Deansgate Clinic in Manchester.
Our clinic is sited discreetly just outside Glasgow, and has private parking facilities right outside.
HJO Hair Restoration Clinic was set up by Shirley Johns who has 25 years of experience working in the industry.
She has trained with some of the top wig-makers and hair restorers in Europe and runs her own training school, the Hollywood Hair Academy.
Shirley said: "I myself have suffered from hair loss for many years which is why I am so passionate about all the amazing new solutions now available for people.
"It is not a question of one size fits all. The best method of hair restoration varies from person to person, depending on their hair condition, their age, their lifestyle etc."
"I want to make sure that all my treatments are available for anyone who needs them. There is something to suit everyone, and at a price most people can afford.
"No-one need ever feel embarrassed or self-conscious about their hair loss again."
Shirley is often asked to appear in the media to discuss hair loss treatments, and is Scotland's top hair restoration professional.
All the human hair used in Shirley's wigs, hairpieces and bespoke hair extensions are personally sourced from Europe.
She has also devised her own bio skin hair system. This revolutionary hair system lasts up to three months and wearers can sleep in them, style them and swim in them – in fact they look and feel just like real hair.
She and her team are based just outside Glasgow. The discreet clinic also has private parking right outside.

Something happened locally that i don't recall hearing about before. A young man was hunting in a National Forest near where there is a public-access horseback riding trail. He apparently shot two people off their horses within seconds of one another. He is claiming that he mistook the horse for a deer. He did drive the injured people to get medical help. The incident is under investigation, primarily by the MDWFP (game wardens). It is my understanding that the area was approved for hunting, but that he has been cited for "hunting from a public road" for firing from a public dirt road (looked small, one lane, not sure though).
I am not a big-time deer hunter or a regular rider of horses, but i don't think i could confuse a white-tail deer with a horse if for no other reason than sheer size (full grown horses). Am i wrong in thinking this guy may have intended to shoot these people or to shoot "at" their group for some reason?
Poll question is "Is it likely that a person could mistake an adult horse for a white-tail deer (daytime conditions)?"
I plan to update with a link to the news story & any new charges against anyone involved. Update* Link to story in Sun Herald http://www.sunherald.com/pageone/story/1763665.html

I am going to have to say there is NO WAY a hunter should be shooting at a horse and claiming it was a deer.
And even IF he thought they were deer. How the hell did he hit two people sitting on top of the deer?? I mean, C'mon now. Really?
I call bs on the whole story....
Updated with link to story in newspaper. I'm still not clear on whether they were on the same horse or not. It was buckshot that hit them.
Not at all likely in my opinion.
Over the years I have know of at least six people who have lost horses to idiots that mistook them for deer. One of my close friends lost a show winning Jersey heifer to a hunter shooting from his car. The animal was standing about fifty feet from the owners barn and my friend caught the moron trying to load the heifer onto the hood of his car. I raise horses and keep them in the barn during deer season just for that reason.
The guy is a moron. He apparently did not verify his target and shot at movement.
Piss poor hunting tactics and skills, IMO.
Now what? Horses in high visible orange vests for deer season?
How about this?
In the believe it or not section, this happened in Wisconsin a few years back. Some idiot shot the horse right out from under a young girl. It's that if "it's brown it's down" mentality. This gives people tunnel vision so they really forget what hunting is all about.
People should alway remember that is is called hunting and not killing. Harvesting game is just a bonus. (IMO)
God, Family, Guns, in that order.
I don't know how "likely", that is what percentage of the time it happens, but I can believe about anything could be and in fact probably has been shot by, and I use the term loosely, deer hunters.
One case I personnally know of was a fellow who shot a goat for a deer. This fellow was an experienced deer hunter. And he grew up and lived his whole life in the country.
I also know of a fellow who was hunting with a high school kid. The kid mistook him for a squirrel and shot him.
I have heard or read of mules, cattle, horses and even dogs being shot for deer. And I have seen pictures where farmers have painted "COW" on the side of their cattle during deer season.
I will tell a story on myself now. I once almost shot a cow thinking it was a skunk! How in the world can you mistake a cow for a skunk? Glad you asked that. I will tell you how. I was walking across a field on the family farm. There was a patch of blackberry briars about 20 feet from me. Through a hole in the briars I could see at ground level a stripe of white fur with black fur on each side of it moving around. Through the opening in the briars that is all I could see, white fur and black fur, no body features at all. Well I drew my .357 mag and drew a bead on the white stripe. Now at this point a lot of people would have opened fire. But I wanted to be sure of my target, so I started edging closer. When I got to within about five feet I could see what it was. On the opposite side of the briar patch was a creek bed with about a three foot high bank. One of my brother's cows, a cross between a black angus and a whiteface hereford, was standing in the creek sticking its head over the bank of the creek eating grass. And if I had fired I would have put a .357 slug right between its eyes.
(Luke 11:21 KJV) When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
(Luke 22:36 KJV) Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
well I can see this happening. In North Carolina, according to the DNR officers, it is perfectly legal for you to be so drunk that you cant even stand up and be out hunting and nobody can say anything to you until you hurt yourself/someone else, or damage property.
Its sad to say but I can actually see some drunk guy hunting on a farm around here and see a horse through the scope saying "thats a BIG ONE" and shoot it.

Does the universe really need another scruffy yet nerdy boy in his early twenties strumming his guitar and singing about his girlfriend? When the boy is Ben Kweller, the answer is yes. Sha Sha, the debut album by this homegrown Texan (he's from Greenville, an hour northeast of Dallas), is full of intelligent power-pop with a healthy sprinkle of angst. Highlights include the can't-get-it-out-of-your-head "Wasted and Ready" and the sing-along "Commerce, TX." Then, of course, there's the love song/tribute to his lady Liz in the song "Lizzy," where he compares his woman to a cat -- but in a good way.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC) and Carter's, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia, are advising parents and caregivers that they have received reports that a small percentage of babies and infants have developed rashes on the upper back after wearing Carter's clothing with heat-transferred, or "tag-less," labels.
This advisory applies to Carter's Fall 2007 product line. The Fall 2007 line utilizes a label on the inside back of the garment that has a raised surface with a solid, rather than a stenciled, background.
This advisory does not apply to previous and current product lines, which utilize labels with stenciled backgrounds.
The garments, which were made in various countries, were sold at Carter's own retail stores and at department and national chain stores.
If your child develops a rash on the upper back after wearing garments that have a "tag-less" label with a solid background, you should stop using these garments.
If the rash persists or worsens, you should contact your pediatrician. For additional information, visit Carter's website at

I almost bought this BB cream without testing it, based on "excellent" reviews on Youtube and beauty blogs. Luckily, I went to Sephora and got a sample, and I am so happy I did. I have combination skin with some dry patches, and I thought that this cream would be excellent since it is directed toward people with all skin types. I was wrong! First of all, this is not a BB cream -- it is a tinted moisturizer. Secondly, the formulation is somehow greasy, and upon application my face looks oily with accentuated pores -- not a good look at all. I didn't want to set it with powder since my goal is to have a simple one-in-all product. The texture is creamy, and it is very easy to apply. The lightest shade, which is intensity 01, is a great match for my light skin tone (between N 15 and 20). In my opinion, it is more on the neutral side. I personally think that this "BB cream" would be excellent for people with very dry skin, but not for people with normal, oily or combination skin.
Bought it at the airport so cant take it back...or else i would. Was told by the SA that this was good for dry skin but it makes my dry skin look even dryer because it cakes on my dry patches. In order not to waste the product ( my money ) i mix it with my moisturizer and then apply it. Therefor the coverage is not great, but ok
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So disappointed. I use the entire double wear range - including the double wear foundation which is amazing, the mascara, eye liner abd bb hilighting concealer (which is amazing). So I was excited to try the bb cream - I wanted something lighter for weekends etc. But it is so disappointing. I find it very difficult to blend, its streaky and tough to spread. It provides zero coverage and makes you seem like you have no colour in your face at all - ghostly. It doesn't last longer than say 3 hours without powder.
I love the Estee lauder long wear range, except this product.
I'm better off using the bb highlighter/concealer (AMAZING) and a light dusting of powder for a natural weekend look.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
no. just no. I prefer the invisible fluid and the DW light to this.
I purchased it as a lightweight weekend product, something that evens out my skintone, provides an spf but doesn't make me look made up.
it doesn't do this. Its a heavy cakey product, it hasn't got a high enough spf for a bb cream. I use my fingers, I use a brush, it just looks cakey. It doesn't last all day, its gone by lunchtime.
Seriously, I prefer the Maybelline Fit Me foundation to this stuff.
It dries my skin. A bb cream should nourish the skin, this stuff dries the skin.
its a fail in my book. I think the Napoleon Perdis BBB cream is a far more nourishing product and I wasn't a fan of that either.
This is a nice enough product but is not the best at its price point. There's nothing left on my face at the end of the day, and I'm just sitting in an office, not wearing a welding mask. Long wearing foundation should wear long and this doesn't. It's a shame because 1.0 is a good match for my skin tone.
Thankfully the very honest SA warned me about the staying power or lack thereof! The colour was good, but unless you have pretty flawless skin it's coverage isn't great. It was almost gone by end if day. Double wear light is far better
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I purchased this product after getting a 10 day trial from Farmers (in NZ on holiday). I chose the BB cream over the foundation sample as I prefer to not use full coverage or heavy make up. I have light skin, and the shade 2 was a perfect match for me.
The sample size they gave was not generous, and I thought perhaps I would run out after 2 applications, but I was plesantly surprised by how far the product goes. I don't have any scars or rosacea to cover up, just a couple of spots every now, dark circles and some uneven skin tone.
This is the best BB cream I've used so far. I didn't find it made me oily and stayed put until I removed it at night. It had enough coverage to use a concealer (my preference). In fact, I really just used it as I would my foundation, and wore a bit of primer or moisturiser underneath, I just found it gave me a better finish than using it on its own.
I can't say I noticed a strong smell, and it was very easy to apply with a brush to get an even finish. I don't think this is a necessary step at all, but I prefer to do it this way. I haven't tried the flash test properly yet, but that is a consideration if you're wearing it out. I think the price is a bit steep, it was $69 but came with a free concealer/mascara.
I would recommend trying it out if you can get a sample as I think it's an expensive risk if you're not 100% sure you like it. Fortunately, I really like it.

I would not rebuy. Not only have I discovered that BB creams aren't for me, but this irritates my rosacea sometimes. In addtion, it just doesn't last as long as I need it to, which, at my most demanding, means making it through a 12 hour shift as a floor nurse + a public transportation commute, all with sweat and stress and barely time to even go to the bathroom, much less, touch up my makeup. I look in the mirror half way through my shift and wonder where the heck this stuff is :( I also don't think BB creams are for me: it's clear that I like long lasting makeup only over the parts of my face that need to be evened out (I don't wear foundation all over), and I also like the option of going without sunscreen if I desire. However, out of the other two BB creams I've tried so far (MAC and the Skin79 stuff in the pink bottle), Estee Lauder's version is the best by leaps and bounds.
BTW: my skin is oily: not hugely so as I've noticed it beginning to dry out a little bit now at age 33, but still oily. My die-hard favorite over the past few years has been Double-Wear Light foundation-I love that stuff.
1) Applies well with fingers.
2) The shade ranges work for ME, but not sure it would cover everyone. In the winter at my palest, I'm about intensity 1 (nw20 in MAC). Right now, during the summer with a bigger tan than I've had in years, I can get away with intensity 3 precisely blended, although intensity 2 is probably the better match.
3) The finish is lovely and so natural looking it's practically invisible with the perfect amount of "glow". It's more glowy than DWL but I wouldn't classify this BB cream glowy or dewy.
4) I really like the packaging. Slim, streamline and sophisticated.
5) Provides broad spectrum 30 spf. I'm not educated about the benefits of BB cream and sunscreens so this probably means very little.
6) Provides light-medium coverage so it's perfect for blending out redness and making my skin more even.
7) A little goes a long way
1) One of my tubes (intensity 3) smells like play dough when I first apply, belch. Thankfully the scent disappears quickly so I can muddle through it without much issue.
2) That beautiful finish I love only lasts about 6 hours, and the color oxidizes about an hour into it. Also, on a sweaty/oily face, I can easily wipe this off. IMO, this doesn't qualify for the "Double Wear" title.
3) Oil control ability is average and again, not quite the long-range standard that I think of when I think of "Double Wear".
4) Yes, in flash photography, this can give you a ghost face, although that's typically the nature of items with sunscreen in them.
5) It's a little pricey at $38 for 1 oz
6) This has irritated my rosacea here and there. It doesn't always do it, but when I'm experiencing other rosacea triggers, this BB cream adds to the irritation.

I really like this BB cream! It's nice & light, but covers what I want to cover well. I have hyper-pigmentation on my cheeks & this does a great job hiding that & blending in. My Everyday Minerals powder goes on nicely over it & it looks completely natural. It's a very nice, soft finish. I'd recommend this & I'd buy it again.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have tried Bobbie Brown, Mac's Prep and Prime, Cliniques BB and CC and this is my favorite so far. It blends smoothly with a brush or beauty blender and gives me a nice natural skin finish with a little glow. It doesn't feel as heavy as the ones mentioned above. I have oily but dehydrated skin from regular BHA use. Last me 6 to 8 hours. The downside is the color selection. I bought 1.0, the lightest but a 1.5 would be perfect. For my skin tone there is a dramatic jump in color between 1.0 and 2.0. 2.0 was way too dark. There still is a good range of colors for most skin tones. I think this stuff is great!

PowerArc 140ST - Stick / Lift Arc TIG 140 Amp - Compact Welder Part 1 - Everlast Welding
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Pedro Gomez Jr.: when welding just stick welding do I have to lift gun up , or is it just
for tig welding ?
jon204: what happen to the twist style electrode holder??? i like that style i wish you guys would let use choose between the two styles :(
Roei Gidone: Do you know if this machine work also on 220v 50hz outlet ?
Everlast Welders and Generators: Yes, that's correct. It took a lot of hard work from all departments at Everlast to make this happen. You'll see some more products as well soon.
Everlast Welders and Generators: There are some videos from weldingtipsandtricks on the 250 EX both on their site, and on youtube. We will be doing more in the future. But since it covers many of the details, we will be getting around to it a little later.
Everlast Welders and Generators: The question is...why would you want to? The only reason to scratch start here is if you were welding with a stick only welder. The lift start makes smoother, cleaner starts more quickly. IF you want to scratch out a start, just leave it in stick. It'll start that way. Or take a look at our PA 200 and add a TIG rig if you have 240 V and you'll have a stick machine with more power for stick.
Mark Smidley: That's a really nice portable kit. I noticed that Home Depot has started selling this particular welder.
Everlast Welders and Generators: The camera doesn't have a separate mike....That's what you get in a room with concrete floors 12 ft ceilings and hard walls...we'll work on it though. Its not a primary concern. Getting the product out there for people to see is though. @Calmiel ...Second part is up.
MrStevilKneivel: Nice video but you need to have a microphone. Don't use the cameras mike as you have too much echo in the room. A wearable mike will stop the echo. I do love my Powertig 250EX and my Powerplasma 50. Keep the videos coming.
G. Finley: How does the PA 140 and 160 compare against the PA 200 in regards to hot start and arc force? They are all excellent welders but I can decide whether I should go really portable with the smaller units.
porpoisefathom: hey thanks--actually i bought the powerarc 200, and it works great--for a stick it doesnt distort light metals like a standard stick does...makes a great 6011 bead...and i dont get porosity like i do with a mig or a wire feed..but maybe thats just because im just not a pro...
Everlast Welders and Generators: It's a slower process, and you must use shielding gas as well. But as far as expense...I've never seen a study to compare, but from my experience, it comes out fairly close in relation to each other. TIG is much cleaner, so clean up expense is reduced, which is also a consideration.
porpoisefathom: is tig an expensive process compared to mig?
rangaman86: Not bad. I wanna see a 250a ac/dc tig machine!
Mark Stevansen: The 140 is super small and compact. Comes with a case too. The PA200 would be a great welder for frequent welding jobs on thicker material. More power and duty cycle. I like the Everlast 160. Good power, a bit bigger than the 140 and still dual voltage.
Everlast Welders and Generators: You might want to ask them that. Our powerArc line has been around a while. We are using the same factory to build our line as we have since 2008.
hamou king: ok
7247tank7247: can you scratch-start the tig?
Everlast Welders and Generators: The units are similar. But the 200 has a stronger response in my opinion. The 200 really isn't all that big, with only being about a foot tall, a foot long, and 7.5 inches wide. It's really pretty small even though the 140 is smaller than the 160 and the 200.
cdguy95: yes it is tig is more expensive than mig plus tig welding does not handle dirt rust paint or mill schale very well u have to take a wire wheel and get what ur welding down to bare metal Before u even think about welding on the metal if u want something cheap try stick welding
Carlmiel: where's the second part?

Grandma's Fudge for ChristmasPosted: December 20, 2013 Filed under: Allergy-friendly products, Chocolate, Snacks | Tags: Christmas, coconut milk, dairy-free, egg-free, sweet treats 15 Comments
For every Christmas I can remember as a child, my grandmother would make chocolate-walnut fudge. When it came time to pass out presents, we could always find her neatly-wrapped boxes filled with the rich chocolate squares. I had never tried making her fudge recipe before, but I really wanted to share it with my boys this year—even if I can't use milk and butter and walnuts like she normally would.
With some coconut milk, dairy-free margarine and a small reserve of Enjoy Life chocolate chunks, I whipped together a batch of her Never-Fail Fudge. Since my husband is allergic to walnuts, I used ground hazelnuts and raisins instead. Even though the fudge turned out a little soft, storing it in the freezer seems to solve the problem. With a few more batches, I'll hopefully have the consistency issues worked out.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying the chance to eat allergy-friendly fudge with my boys, just like I did when my grandmother made it at Christmas. It's important for me to share past holiday memories with them, while creating new ones here in Switzerland—many of them connected to food! Even though we can't be with most of our family and friends at Christmastime (again) this year, as I've mentioned before, making recipes like this makes me feel more connected to them. For this recipe in particular, I cherish the memories of my family gathered around the living room to open small packages of delicious homemade fudge.
The holiday season is such a wonderful time of year, but for people living with food allergies, it can require additional preparation for all the food-centered gatherings. For some practical advice, check out FARE's quick list of 6 Tips for Celebrating the Holiday Season. My husband and I certainly use FARE's recommended "tag-team" method when we're at holiday parties with our 2-year old! He's learning about his food allergies and has even begun to ask sometimes, "Can I eat it?" Even so, we still keep a close eye on him, just in case.
Thanks so much for reading Dairy-Free Switzerland. I really appreciate your advice and support. Bon week-end, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
P.S. – January 2, 2014: After a second batch, I'm ready to share an updated version of my grandmother's recipe. I hope you like it!
Coconut Milk Fudge
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup allergy-friendly chocolate chips (this time I used some from Divvies)
1/4 cup corn syrup, light or dark
1 tablespoon dairy-free margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (or vanilla)
1/2 cup grated coconut or finely chopped dried fruit, pumpkin seeds, etc.
1. In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, and then stir constantly over low heat for about 10 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and mix in the remaining ingredients until smooth and creamy. Then, stir in the grated coconut (and/or other dried fruit, etc.).
3. Pour mixture into a pie plate or 8-9 inch round or square pan greased with dairy-free margarine. Optional: sprinkle some extra coconut on top while the fudge is still soft. Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate the fudge until completely cooled and firm.
Storage: Keep this fudge in the refrigerator so it stays firm. Our latest batch of fudge is in the freezer, for when we need a quick and allergy-friendly treat for my son. I'm trying to be good and not eat it all myself!

Dear Heddi, That memory of fudge brought tears to my eyes, Heddi. Great blog. Merry Christmas to you all! XoSandra Sent from my iPhone
Does the fudge taste strongly of nuts. I would love to make this as I have a problem with milk but my kids dont like the sttong taste of nuts. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
NOW I feel the need to make June's fudge! If Jeana doesn't have the recipe, I'll have to send out an SOS to you! Merry Christmas! :)
I just bought some dark chocolate Enjoy Life morsels, so I will try those. This looks fantastic!!! Merry Christmas
Heddi, where do you find corn syrup here? I'm fairly sure there's none at my local Migros (haven't checked Coop, but that's not so big either.)

Petty Enterprises is in discussions to merge its storied franchise with Gillett Evernham Motorsports, The Associated Press has learned.
Multiple people familiar with the talks told the AP that the two teams are discussing a deal that would merge Petty's No. 43 Dodge with GEM to become a four-car operation. They requested anonymity because the negotiations are ongoing.
SI.com first reported Thursday that Petty Enterprises' top operation will not return in 2009. But David Zucker, CEO of Petty Enterprises, said the report was "not accurate."
He would not discuss a potential merger. "We're not going to comment on rumors and speculation," he said.
Petty, the team founded by seven-time series champion Richard Petty, has no full-time sponsorship lined up for next season. The team fields cars for Bobby Labonte, Chad McCumbee and Kyle Petty.
Robbie Loomis, vice president of Petty Enterprises, told the AP nothing has changed with the organization, and the team is continuing to talk to potential partners.
Drew Brown, a spokesman for GEM, did not immediately return a call for comment.
