I have a dc arc welder 130 amp output is it possible to use this as a power supply for tig welding.If so what would it entail. MBB
I have done a lot of DC TIG welding with stick machines. It will work fine on steel and stainless, but of course you would an AC high-frequency power source for aluminum. You will need a cylinder of argon with a regulator, an argon hose, a "power-block" which goes between the argon hose and the hose/cable to the torch. Hook your negative electrode to the power block and positive ground to the work piece and you will have a "scratch-start" TIG set-up. I've welded millions of dollars worth of stainless with a set-up just like that.
Please forgive my ignorance what is a power block MBB
A power block is simply a piece of metal with lugs on it to electrically connect it to your negative post on the welder, and let you hook up a tig torch to it as well as your usual stinger or ground clamp. Costs maybe 15 bucks- big chunk of bronze, usually. The guys at the welding supply will know. This setup, the one described above, with a regulator, argon tank, and a scratch start air cooled tig torch, will get you started tig welding, for about $250 plus an argon tank. Scratch start works fine, you just foul your tungsten more often than you would with a fancy high frequency starter. Which means you get lots of practice sharpening tungstens. Its good for you, builds character. The cheap (around $150) air cooled scratch start tig torch will have a knob right on the torch handle to turn on and off the argon flow. Argon is expensive, so you have to be good about learning to only turn it on when you are welding. Depending on how much welding you do, how thick the material is, and what it is, the air cooled torch may get kinda hot sometimes- and you may have to take a break and let it cool down. Next step up, in terms of price and convenience, is a water cooled torch- similar cost for the torch, but you need a $500 radiator to run anti-freeze thru it. Then you could spend a bunch more, and buy an add on High Frequency unit- this allows you to start the arc much easier, without actually touching the tungsten to the base metal. It also would allow you to weld aluminum, if you had an AC power supply. I have all of these things, and use them in various combinations, depending on the job. A scratch start torch can plug right into a rented gas drive Trailblazer, and I can tig weld on site with a minimum of fuss. Or down a hole, or up a ladder. Other times, I drag out the radiator, foot pedal, and high freq unit, and can do very controlled precision tig welding anywhere I want- did a job a couple years ago welding stainless steel, 80 feet up in a manlift, in the middle of the night- the only time they would let us close the street to get the crane and manlifts in. But to start out with, the setup welder689 described will work fine, for a minimum of bucks.
Actually, you don't even need the power block. Just clip the stick electrode holder, onto the lug on the argon hose/cable. Up to the limit of your 135 unit, that will work fine, as long as you get a good bite on the lug before starting and are careful not to bump either into/onto ground. smt
Ries, In my experience, scratch-starting a TIG on stainless really doesn't contaminate the tip to any significant degree. I've also welded aluminum with scratch-start using an old Miller Econo-Twin AC/DC stick machine. No high-frequency, no foot-pedal, etc. I'm sure you know this trick...scratch-start on a chunk of copper and then move the arc onto the aluminum work piece...so as not to contaminate the aluminum by touching the tungsten to it.
You can get by without a cooler on the water cooled torches, just run tap water thru it. I have mine set up to run off the garden hose spigot, just let it drain out into the grass. If you have very hard water that could be a problem (lime build up). You also have to make sure it is completely drained if your shop gets below freezing.
With a 130 amp welder, no need to be concerned with water-cooled torches.
interesting reading, i have been considering a tig attachment but i know very little about tig welding or the correct setup thats needed. i have two machines that are compatable. first is a late 80's miller, millermatic mig with the optional spool gun for aluminum. second is an early 90's miller (bobcat?) 225G welder/generator ac/dc arc welder. i know both these machines can be used with a tig setup but is there one particular tig setup that can be used on both machines? the mig is the main welder used in the shop, an old lincoln buzz box takes care of whatever would come in that needs stick/arc welding and the welder/gen is used as our portable welder for field work. can buy an attachment for use in the shop on the mig that can also be switched over to the welder/gen for field work as well? my knowledge of these machines is vague even though i grew up around them. my grandfather taught me to weld when i was only 10 years old with the lincoln arc/stick welder. due to his failing health i went from an unpaid employee to owner in the past few months. guess im just looking for a few ways to maximize the shops potential. thanks in advance for any replies. cheers, Jason
Mig welders are almost always Constant Voltage. A tig power supply needs to be Constant Current. These are two different designs of the welding circuit. So its pretty unlikely you can tig weld with your millermatic. The bobcat should work fine, though. Just set it for DC, plug in a tig torch, with argon tank and regulator, and you can tig weld.
Actually you can tig weld just fine with a CV (Mig) power source. Though unless you have infinite power control which i doubt his MM has you will have limited heat control since it is a tapped machine.
tapped machine?
You learn something every day- I always thought tig welding only worked with CC machines. A tapped machine has a series of preset amperage settings- 1, 2, 3, 4 or 100amps, 120 amps, and so on. Whereas an infinitely adjustable machine has a knob that you can turn and get any spot in between. My CC/CV Miller inverter has a digital display, and you can dial it in one amp at a jump. Handy for thin stuff, not so necessary for most purposes, but nice just the same.
This is the welder I want to use as a power supply Infinitely variable up to 130 amps welder weighs 80 lbs
You might have a hard time clamping that rod holder to a power block. El Cheapo half-assed solution...remove the rod holder (stinger) and vise grip the end of the cable to the power block... or get a regular rod holder that you can clamp onto the power block.
El Cheapo half-assed solution...remove the rod holder (stinger) and vise grip the end of the cable to the power block--------------------- -I intend to use new cables and torch I will make power block as I have never seen them for sale in the UK MBB
or you could cut the cable and splice in a lenco or dins type connector, that way you could swap back and forth between stick and tig.
how about putting a crimp terminal on a 6 inch tail of # 1/0 or 2/0 bare copper wire ( metricise for the UK) and clamp the stinger onto this like a big fat rod, bolt the terminal to the tig lead, off ya go ( bobs-yer-uncle @ US). wrap it with some electric tape if you are shy about grounding it accidentally but if it gets hot the tape will toast and come off, heatshrink tube might do better. CV and CC welding supply vs process is not as critical on ALL processes but is critical on some. you have to modify techniques and you have limited applications when you are working off the recommended type supply vs process but you can successfully do a good bit with it that way.
The cables on welder are bayonet fitting and only take a couple of seconds to remove likewise to replace with tig gun but I dont want to go to the expence of buying fittings if the welder shown in earlier post is not suitable. MBB
"The cables on welder are bayonet fitting and only take a couple of seconds to remove likewise to replace with tig gun but I dont want to go to the expence of buying fittings if the welder shown in earlier post is not suitable." Suitable for what? What you will have will be the most basic of DC-only TIG set-ups. You won't have any of the "fine tuning" capabilities of a top-of-the-line TIG machine, nor the amperage. You will be able to do occasional TIG jobs on lighter duty steel and stainless projects or minor repairs. If you need more than that, you can always upgrade later and the stuff that you've acquired (torch, regulator, hoses, etc.) can still be used on your next machine. Personally, what you would have WOULD NOT satisfy my requirements for a TIG outfit...but you WOULD be able to do some TIG welding on a small scale.

[Mac OS X] Noteworthy+ is a menu bar app for notes, to-do lists, and more
Posted By Tucker On June 13, 2013 @ 10:22 AM In Mac OS X | 1 Comment
[1]Throughout history, there have been plenty of people who were both young and talented. Age doesn't always equal experience, and many apps and computer technologies have been created by young, forward-thinking people. The tech sector is great that way: most other industries would dismiss a young person's ideas out of hand, but that is rarely the case in the youth-driven tech sector. I bring up the role of a person's age in creating new technologies because the app I want to talk about today, Noteworthy+, is the product of Benjamin Chan. When the app was initially released, Chan was a senior in high school.
Main Functionality
Created by a high school senior, Noteworthy+ is a menu bar app that can be used for jotting down quick notes or making to-do lists.
[2]Noteworthy+ is one of several apps I've recently reviewed that lives in the menu bar. It's not a new trend by any means, but I think menu bar apps have been becoming more attractive to Mac users in recent months. Some of the new apps coming out are menu bar only, and I think they jive well with current user trends for wanting tools that are lightweight, omnipresent, and minimal.
Overall, the UI for Noteworthy+ is quite nice. I love note-taking apps that are there when you need them, and banished once they aren't in active use. I particularly like the use of colors and sentence size adjustments to make certain sentences stand out. This draws your eye to tasks that are of paramount importance, and keeps a very full notes section from being overwhelming to the eye.
I do wish this app had been updated more recently than 2012, because it's pretty solid, but could be improved with some additional effort. The last update was in August 2012, and users have been waiting since then for promised sync with other notetaking apps, as well as promised performance and UI upgrades.
If I had to guess, Noteworthy+ hasn't been updated in a while because Ben Chan is busy with college studies. Here's hoping he can find some time this summer to update the app. Noteworthy+ is a good notetaking app, but a little more work would make it even better. Still, I think it's worth making room in your menu bar to try out this helpful tool.

Watch out, Kim Kardashian will call you out if you are caught looking at her famous assets! The reality star took to her Instagram to post two hilarious pics with officers staring at her butt — so funny!
Kim Kardashian, 33, is used to being in the spotlight, but if she catches you looking at her butt, you will be exposed! The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared two hilarious pictures with her Instagram fans of officers clearly checking out her famous backside! We wonder what her hubby, Kanye West, 36, would have to say about this?
Kim Kardashian Calls Out Police
We certinaly don't blame him for looking! Wearing a sheer long-sleeved top that showed off her cleavage while leaving her New York City apartment on Aug 11, Kim looked absolutely stunning.
While Kim's top was a bit revealing, her mid-calf skirt kept her covered up, but was tight enough to show off her best feature — her butt! In her hilarious Instagram picture, Kim is mid-stride while a cop from far behind is definitely taking his job of watching the star a little to serious! He is clearly checking her out — so funny that Kim is putting him on blast!
Kim's second picture was deleted from her account, but she did post a picture of her ensemble. Looking flawless in maroon, she kept things covered with a long-sleeved dress that also went down to her mid-calf — clearly a favorite length for the stunning mom!
In this second picture, it looks like a member of her security is captivated by Kim's butt, and is keeping a close eye on her as she walks through a crowd of fans — too funny!
Kim Kardashian Reveals Baby Plans
Kim and Kanye already have one adorable daughter, North West, 1, but since they said their "I do's" in May, we have been waiting for the announcement of their second child.
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, on Aug 12, Kim visited the Today Show, and revealed her baby plans. "Of course I would love to have another child. I would love two more, but, we'll see. I'm gonna have one more and see what it's like."
How exciting! We can't wait for these two to expand their family!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should the police officer apologize to Kim?

It seems if someone cared about a person suffering with Depression so very much, they would spend a little time learning about the condition and how to help. Had this family done that I believe they would know it is a devastating illness that most battle for years, if not for their whole lives. They would know it is not the fault of the patient and is a very serious & dangerous illness and that so called 'tough love' has no place in the treatment of Clincal Depression and can be very detrimental. Their ignorance could contribute significantly to a suicide. It's very sad really, all the money in the world and so very little empathy and intelligence. Maybe less time in front of a mirror & a camera and more time learning about that which they claim to be so concerned about would be helpful. IMO

They are probably saying there's to much junk in the trunk and they are rite,there are so many regular women that look 100 times better than her,she's average at best and when she walks it's all gigely( hence) loose, o well will see how long she last in the limelite, if all fails she could become a porn star, we know she can perform

I can only assume we will be able to get this phone sometime summer of 2013, right?
Actually, they're not going to make us wait as long as usual.
The on-sale being widely reported today is June 20th, which appears to be official. Samsung has posted it on their Facebook page, so it seems pretty solid.
Some carriers have publicly acknowledged the 20th as well and Rogers will likely follow suit, but they have a really annoying habit of being coy about release dates, so don't expect anything official out of them until the day before the launch- they don't believe in advance notice, apparently.
In their minds, you're just supposed to drop everything and run out to buy one of these phones at a moment's notice.
At any rate, the Rogers version of the S3 should be available in about three weeks.
quad-core CPU!
The version of the SIII that is released in Canada is not quad-core.
Booked one already !
Gee Rogers, I'm happy that you're getting the next new hot phone from Samsung, but frankly I'm more concerned with when I'm going to get the current version of Android (4.04) on the Galaxy Nexus that I bought from you less than six months ago.
Snapdragon? This better be a quad-core phone. The One X was originally a quad-core.
Leave it to Rogers to dumb down ANOTHER phone. But it'll have URMusic on it!
Nope its Dual. No LTE phones are Quad because they don't support it (yet).
Same thing with HTC, North America providers are pushing their "faster, better LTE network" and not focusing on the hardware at hand. All the latest models with Quad-core (internaltional version) phones are not bought/shipped to N-A.We will have to buy them overseas or wait if they ever come.
Well, new phone same issue.. Rogers LTE! When will Rogers actually buy phones for the hardware specs rather then trying to inflate their pockets by pushing us to buy LTE.
Woohoo! And thanks to the recent change in upgrade policy, I'll be able to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate in only 18 months!
The Internet doesn't get irony.
Nor does Rogers. :P
Too true!
Rogers always extends the upgrade policy right before major handset releases. That way you pay more money for your upgrade.
If you picked up your Captivate when it was launched, you'll remember they pulled the exact same stunt two months before it hit shelves too.
It's not coincidence. They expect you to use a device for 3+ years that only lasts for 2. And you can't even get software for it anymore it's so obsolete.
It's all a ripoff.
Not if you know how to play "customer relations" at rogers…:)
a year and a half into my 3 year contract and i got a free upgrade to the s3 from the captivate.
Well, then you're one of the lucky ones. I've heard many a Rogers customer lamenting the fact that the retentions department seems to not be all that interested in actually retaining customers these days. It's very much hit or miss when trying to get an upgrade out of retentions.
To all those above who are displeased with the fact that this phone will have the Snapdragon S4 dual core chip: have you seen the benchmarks? It's pretty much just as good as the Exynos quad core. ALSO: we are getting 2GB of RAM. That amount will make this handset run that much smoother.
I'm biting the bullet and paying the early upgrade fee to get this phone. Call me crazy.
North American version won't be quad core it's not Rogers at fault simply the fact that LTE radio is larger in size and works with snap dragon one reason why I went for the OneX a) no waiting b) Sweet Phone.
I was looking at the One X but it let me down:
a) no MicroSD card slot and only 16GB storage
b) no removable battery
c) 1GB RAM
d) the back of the phone is porous… good luck getting the stains out (see One X in blue jeans video on YouTube OUCH!)I am happy to hear the phone is good for you though =)
Well the S4 version will likely come out on top anyhow with battery life and power since it is based on the A15 instead of the older A9. Even if it was at par the fact that we get LTE speeds is worth it im sure :) Now we just need 64gb microsd cards so i dont have to kill my data plan to watch movies
I've preordered mine and switching for an iPhone 4. I was ready to upgrade last year in the hopes than new iPhone would have larger screen but nothing happened. Now I see the thte iPhone 5 will only have a 4″ screen which is really sad. I hate to wave good buy to iOS on my phone (love my new iPad though) but I feel that Android 4 does everything that I need and covers just about everything that iOS does.
Hi Rogers Reps,
I was called a few weeks ago to early renew my contract (I was just over 2 years in)… The offer included price protection and an early hardware upgrade promotion.
I was told by the reps that I would be able to get the Galaxy S3 at the 3 year contact rate when it was released… however, the rogers employees at the local store said I "might not be eligeble for the Galaxy 3 OR the Galaxy Note".Could you please clarify this new promotion and/or let me know if there is any reason I would be eligeble for any phone except a chosen few?
I want to get rid of my iPhone 4 ASAP; but I don't want to pay an extra $220 or so for early upgrade.
In short, I only extended my contract because I was told I would get a hardware upgrade (for the G3), and if the store staff is correct and I can't get it, I would reneg on my contract extension and shop other carries.
PS. My plan is $100 per month (retention package with 6G date and unlimited) if that would make a difference.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide.
Hi Andrew,
I forwarded your information to our Customer Care team. I'll have someone contact you via email.
What exactly will be the policy for hardware upgrades? Do existing customers get to have Samsung galaxy s3 or is it only for new customers? Please clarify Rogers Reps.
Did you even read the article? "Existing customers can reserve the Samsung Galaxy S III by using the Rogers Reservation System in MyAccount"
Yes Ryan, I read the article but I do not understand why I have to pay $40 for reservation. If I do reserve it after paying$40.00 does that guarantee I will get a phone or is there going to be another issue after this?
There's a link to the FAQ from the reservations page, that takes you here:
You *will* get a phone guaranteed if you reserve one online. But I'm pretty sure you're not guaranteed WHEN you'll get one. Might be on launch day, might be weeks after. Depends how much stock the reservation system gets (they get a separate stock allocation from retail stores and the online store, if memory serves). Basically, the reservation system serves as a way to guarantee that you'll get a phone (eventually) without having to call up multiple retail stores and find out who has it in stock, etc etc.
Reservation is a joke, Rogers charges $40 just to reserve? Really? There is no mentioned of how much S3 is going to cost as well. If there is no price than I can only assume that 16GB and 32GB models cost exactly the same, and there is no charge to upgrade, NOT!
Actually, that $40 is a deposit, to make sure you are serious about getting the device, and it gets credited towards your purchase. Which you would know if you clicked that big red question mark right next to the reservation fee on the Reservations page.
But yes, it *would* be nice if Rogers showed what your total cost to upgrade would be. You can check your upgrade fees from the My Account page though, and I presume you pay the 3 year contract price the same as everybody else.
The $40 is refunded to you on your next bill after the phone is in your hands. The $40 is basically the "You'd better really want this phone" temporary fee.
Another details is obscure if Canadian S3 comes with Quad or Dual processor, if it's Dual it's not as attractive as Quad.
Pretty sure it's dual core. As far as I'm aware, there are no quad core chips supporting LTE in production phones yet. And realistically? You're not going to miss the quad core.
Hi, Curious to hear what the new launch date is…
Anyone know ? June 27th Now?
We haven't announced one yet, Kristopher. Samsung have announced it will be available June 27th, though.
Umm – Chris? Did you read the updated blog entry that we're commenting on?
"Due to unprecedented global demand for the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung has announced that the date of availability for purchase of this device in Canada, is now June 27th."
Or is that just SAMSUNG's availability in Canada, not the specific availability for Rogers?
Darn you, Samsung! Darn you for releasing SGS3 so soon after I upgraded to the SGS2 this past December! :P
But seriously, good on you for getting us the phone in such a timely manner, Rogers. You guys rock! Now to check my wallet…
Can someone from Rogers explain why Best Buy (and other retailers) have published the Rogers 3 year contract price for the phone but Rogers themselves have not. Can we upgrade to the S3 in Best Buy or does this need to be done with Rogers.
Hi Tom, pricing is available on the pre-order site on Rogers.com/galaxys3
Specifically, when you click the "pre-order" button. Which one wouldn't normally think to do when looking for pricing.
How about the month to month pricing? I plan on buying it outright
Thanks Chris, I am a bit confused. As I am not a new customer to Rogers (I am upgrading from my current phone with Rogers) I used the device reservation option not the pre-order option. There is no pricing for existing cutomers then?
Is it true that the 32GB White versions are back ordered?
Hi Kristopher,
This device hasn't been released yet. Stay tuned, it's coming soon!

Both Rebecca Ferguson and Leona Lewis have achieved great musical success since their X Factor days, but they also share more than just impressive vocal talent: both ladies have channelled fringes.
Rebecca Ferguson showcased her new lightened locks and blunt bangs whilst taking to the stage at the recent iTunes Festival 2012, as she teamed her new locks with a sleek black pencil skirt over a white slogan t-shirt.
Ferguson's daring new look is certainly a bold step for the normally-shy star, but it no doubt compliments the 26-year-old's stunning features, and gives her a more edgier, chic look.
However Rebecca's new look has unsurprisingly drawn comparisons to fellow singer Leona's previously sported fringe, which she donned back in 2011, after debuting it a Justin Bieber's Never Say Never premiere in Los Angeles.
Similar to Ferguson, 27-year-old Lewis chose to unveil her new look by teaming her poker straight tresses with a figure-hugging black pencil skirt and bold lips.
With both beauties pulling off the fringe effortlessly, who do you think wears it best?

Dutch actress Nicolette Van Dam resigned as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador Thursday, after a scandal erupted over her tweet of a doctored photo appearing to depict two Colombian football players snorting cocaine.
"Ms. Van Dam resigned as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and regrets the message forwarded yesterday," UNICEF's Colombia office posted on its own Twitter page.
In a statement, the organization also offered its "most sincere apologies" to Colombian footballers Radamel Falcao Garcia and James Rodriguez, who were in the photo, for "the shameful and offensive post" from Van Dam.
Colombia had earlier demanded UNICEF sack the actress and model over the tweeted photo, in which the two players are prostrate on the football pitch and appear to snort the spray that World Cup referees are using to draw lines at free kicks, as if it were a line of cocaine.
Under the photo, in Dutch, were the words "Colombiaans Muurtje" -- Colombian Wall.

He was hanging out with his fiance, Mileah Dagon, and a friend outside their apartment building at 2414 Johnson St. in Hollywood about 9:30 p.m. on August 25, 2002. A 37-year-old from Albany, New York, who dropped out of school in eighth grade, Rains was three weeks shy of closing on his first home, a $115,000 single-family house at 4937 SW 28th Ave. in Fort Lauderdale. That evening, Rains and his friends were relaxing, listening to the country music coming from the stereo in unit one.
The apartment building, a white and red, concrete-block structure with jalousie windows, forms an L that folds around a small concrete parking lot adjacent to busy Johnson Street, near Dixie Highway. Dagon, a delicate 45-year-old standing five-foot-four and weighing 110 pounds, first heard the noise from that parking lot. She turned.
"The police car came rip-roaring into the driveway, and stones went spreading everywhere," Dagon recalled in a December 2004 deposition. Hollywood Police Officer Joe Pendergrast, at the time a 29-year-old Broward native with four years on the force, jumped out of the police cruiser, leaving the driver's-side door ajar. Pendergrast charged toward Rains. The officer asked who lived in apartment number one. "I do," Rains replied.
"I'm writing you a $250 citation for the loud fucking noise," Officer Pendergrast allegedly said.
"I asked him why he was writing me a citation for $250 for the loud noise," Rains recalled in a deposition. "I lived there for over a year, never had any problems, never played my stereo loud. He wouldn't answer me. I asked him a third time -- wouldn't answer me."
What Rains didn't know -- and would discover only later -- was that Pendergrast's ailing father-in-law, who has since died, lived across the street at 2415 Johnson St. The noise was apparently disturbing him. The elderly man said he couldn't sleep. The good son-in-law would do something about it.
"Why are you writing me a fucking ticket?" Dagon remembered the aggravated Rains asking the officer.
The foul language seemed to trigger something in Pendergrast. "At that point, he said, 'I'm placing you under arrest,'" Rains recalled. "I stuck my hands out. I said, 'OK.' He put the cuffs on. I spun around. He put the cuffs behind my back."
Pendergrast then took the handcuffed Rains and dragged him toward the police cruiser. As he did, the officer allegedly threw the defenseless man to the ground four times. "He was being picked up and thrown down like a rag doll," Dagon recalled.
Finally, Pendergrast stood Rains up again and allegedly placed his black boot on the prisoner's shoe, using his body weight to keep Rains' right foot in place. Pendergrast then took Rains by the handcuffs, twisted his body, and pushed him to the ground, Dagon said. The officer never moved his foot.
Dagon heard her fiancé's bones shatter, she says. "Crack. Crack. Crack." Rains' right ankle broke in three places -- a nasty injury termed a trimalleolar fracture.
Pendergrast lifted up Rains. Dagon ran over and grabbed her fiancé. "Please stop beating him," she said. "Please. He has had enough."
Then Officers Jeff Murray and Michael Verdugo arrived. Pendergrast handed Rains over to his fellow Hollywood officers. He then grabbed Dagon, who wore a neck brace from a previous injury, and allegedly kneed her in the back, sending her violently into the back of his cruiser.
"Be careful," Rains hollered. "She just got in a car accident four months ago."
Suddenly, Rains was on the ground again, taking kicks and punches to the body. It stopped. One of the officers then put his fist in Rains' face, he said. "Do you want anymore of this?" the officer allegedly asked. Rains shook his head. "I didn't think so."
Police took Rains and Dagon to the Hollywood Police Detention Center at 3250 Hollywood Blvd., charging both with obstruction of a law enforcement officer. Despite requests, Rains said he did not receive medical attention for several hours. Instead, the couple sat on a bench inside the cop shop. Officers passed by. "Heavy-handed Joe must be on shift tonight," the two remembered the policemen saying. Rains' mother bonded out the couple at 2:30 a.m.
Pendergrast would ultimately prove to be a poor witness for the Broward State Attorney's Office. In fact, during a December 5, 2002, deposition in the misdemeanor case against Dagon, Pendergrast was on edge and combative. He said he was concerned about a lawsuit.
"Is there any reason that you appear to be very uncomfortable about this deposition?" asked attorney Linda M. Jaffe, representing Dagon.
"I think I'm being cornered," Pendergrast replied. He then walked out of the deposition after only a few minutes. Three months later, on March 12, 2003, Pendergrast was forced to return. He claimed that Rains and Dagon were belligerent and intoxicated, but he also admitted that neighbors had not complained about the noise and that he was far outside his assigned patrol district in the Liberia neighborhood. What's more, he admitted to using force on the handcuffed Rains, an act of aggression that the Hollywood Internal Affairs Unit failed to investigate. "I pushed him to the side, and he fell down onto the ground," Pendergrast said in the deposition.

Also, keep in mind that a good set of anchors are great for hanging things in walls when you either can't find a stud or want to put something in a place where it's not practical to nail into a stud. Again, spend some money on anchors -- the metal ones are great, whereas a lot of the plastic ones are terrible.

Almost six hours of inquisition of Greg Abbott's nominees for the University of Texas Board of Regents ended with the Senate Nominations Committee effectively turning the trio into political hostages by not voting.
Perhaps it was nothing more than a desire by senators to digest extensive testimony from nominees Steven Hicks and David Beck on their roles in the university controversy over favoritism in admissions and supplemental funding from an outside foundation of law professors, or nominee Sara Martinez Tucker's support for national education standards known as Common Core. But usually a governor, especially a new governor, sees his board of regent nominees pass quickly through the advice and consent process to confirmation.
These nominees represent something more than just a shadow of scandal. In selecting these three, Abbott seems to have given a nod of conciliation to the UT alumni and the business/legal conservative wing of the Republican Party over the tea party social conservatives who had fought to oust UT-Austin President Bill Powers and break the status quo. Powers is stepping down after the current legislative session.

Iowa scored the first 22 points of the game and led 41-10 at one point. It was 48-19 at halftime and the Hawkeyes finished with 11 triples and a 46-32 advantage in rebounds. "I think that can always be better. But I thought pretty it was pretty good," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. "Defensively I thought we were really talking to each other. I felt better defensively than offensively. "But we've stayed pretty much with the motion offense for this game and we've been really trying to work on that. We got a little stagnant towards the end of the first half. I thought there wasn't enough screening and cutting, and it was better in the second half." Gesell was 5-for-8 from the field, 3-of-5 in 3-pointers and 5-of-6 from the line. May scored 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting and also had four steals, while Oglesby also had 15 points and Basabe finished with 10. May, Basabe and Oglesby all came off the bench in the game, but McCaffery does not see those three as "second string." "It's funny, but I kind of don't look at them as the second unit," McCaffery said. "Because we've got Basabe in there. And Olaseni is a sophomore. Eric May is a senior. He's been starting off and on for three years. It's a very experienced group." McCaffery went on to say that he feels like May has been one of the top players in the preseason for the Hawkeyes. May played a lot of last year with injuries and seems to be healthy as the team starts the year. "Not surprised," McCaffery said of May's strong performance. "He's been arguably one of our best players in practice. I started him last weekend against Creighton and didn't start him today. But he's just really a tremendous captain. He's going to give us what we need on defense. He's also in the right place. He knows where to go. It's great to see him jump shooting the ball the way he's been. He's been like that since the start of practice. That will be big for us, when he's scoring like he is." Every single player on the 15-man roster played. Aaron White had nine points in 16 minutes, Roy Devyn Marble had six points but took just three shots and freshman center Adam Woodbury added four points and six points in 11 minutes. His backup – Gabe Olaseni -- had six points and six rebounds in 14 minutes and junior Zach McCabe finished with seven points and eight rebounds in 15 minutes. "Obviously, we want to put points on the board. We want to go, and we will shoot 3's. What did we shoot, 25 3's today? We'll press and run and shoot 3s and we're going to score points," McCaffery said. "The more important thing is we held them to a pretty decent number, 33 percent. We didn't foul them a ton. We had a couple of crazy fouls late. We put them on the free throw, fouling guys 90 feet from the basket; we can't be doing that. But again, when you're pressing, that's going to happen some." The Hawkeyes were 23-of-26 from the line and connected on 11-of-25 from long range. They pulled even further ahead in the second half when that second unit scored 23 straight points. Jordan Wilson led Quincy with 11 points on 3-of-4 from long range. Quincy hit seven triples in the game but had just eight assists and 31 turnovers. The squad shot 33 percent from the field.

For Researchers Over the years, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and its nonprofit affiliate Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Inc. (CFFT) have sought the best and the brightest scientists to join in the mission of improving the length and quality of life for people with cystic fibrosis, while also pursuing a cure. Dedicated researchers, supported by the CF Foundation have made tremendous advances in the knowledge about the defective gene that causes CF, its protein product and special characteristics of the CF cell. This knowledge, in turn, has led to more novel new therapies that are under development than ever before. To carry out our mission, CF research has been organized into three broad areas:
This structure has made CF research very successful and has been copied by other disease organizations. Our mission will be incomplete though without the involvement of patients in clinical trials. The CF Foundation also offers numerous research and training opportunities. From time-to-time, the CF Foundation releases Requests for Applications (RFAs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to target specific research topics. Please see the links to the left for a listing of CF Foundation funding opportunities. If you currently receive CF Foundation or CFFT support and need to submit a scientific progress report, final scientific report, report of expenditures, request for no-cost extension, please use the Grant Reporting forms.

It's certainly a possibility," official saysThe U.S. Coast Guard is suspending its search off the California coast for a distressed 29-foot sailboat that was carrying a couple and two children, and said Tuesday the incident is "possibly a hoax." The mission's cost has reached several hundreds of thousands of dollars since Sunday, said Cmdr. Don Montoro.Searchers have been scouring the water off San Francisco for the people that a distress call claimed were on the boat: the couple, their 4-year-old child and the child's cousin, who the Coast Guard said was younger than 8.Coast Guard investigators will look into the incident and "prosecute it and investigate it to the best of their ability," Montoro said. "We're not investigating it directly as a hoax, but we are pursuing every avenue. It's certainly a possibility.""I know we do have successful prosecutions" on such hoaxes, Montoro said, "and it would be taken very seriously."Since last June, the Coast Guard has been offering a $3,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for an apparent hoax that prompted a massive rescue effort off the coast of New Jersey following a distress call.Just WatchedSearching for family lost at seareplayMore Videos ...Searching for family lost at sea 02:16PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedFamily: 'We are abandoning ship'replayMore Videos ...Family: 'We are abandoning ship' 01:18PLAY VIDEOIn that incident, a search came up empty for purportedly injured and adrift passengers from a yacht hit by an explosion at sea. The agency found no evidence of people, debris or even a boat, it said. The investigation is still active, Coast Guard spokesman Charles Rowe said Tuesday.Making a false distress call is considered a felony, punishable by up to 10 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine, the Coast Guard said last June. The person responsible could also be required to reimburse the government for the cost of the search.In 2011, the Coast Guard counted 54 probable hoaxes nationwide out of 7,274 mayday cases, Rowe said. One hoax cost the Guard $74,000, another $44,000 and another $5,200, he said. Those costs don't include local police or other first responding agency costs, he added.In one region alone -- New York City, Hudson River and northern New Jersey -- there were 80 probable hoaxes during the past six years, Rowe said.In this week's incident off the California coast, the weather offshore during the search featured gale-force winds and 25-foot seas, Montoro said.On Sunday afternoon, the Coast Guard received a radio communication that stated: "This is the Charm Blow, we are abandoning ship."The man on the radio told the Coast Guard that the boat had begun taking on water and its electronics were failing, the agency said. At that time, the boat was believed to be some 65 miles (105 kilometers) off Pillar Point, south of San Francisco.The focus of the search had been 60 to 65 miles off Monterey Bay, said Lt. Heather Lampert, a Coast Guard spokeswoman.At 20,000 square miles, the search area was nearly the size of West Virginia.The U.S. Navy from Point Magu and the 129th Air National Guard from Moffett Airfield participated in the search, Montoro said.More than 40 search-and-rescue assets were involved in the effort, he said. At one point, two Coast Guard cutters, HC-130 planes, MH-65 helicopters and a Navy E2-C Hawkeye were involved, the Coast Guard said on Monday.More from usJames Lipton: Harrison Ford will fly againLaGuardia runway reopens after Delta flight skids off itPowered by Livefyre

-heyup; keeping well?
Just wondering when you were going to post some of your new-fangled new-and-improved New Paradigm Daleks you said were in the works? You've been honing that model for so long and every new iteration looks better and better (though, it must be said, every new iteration seems to bring the silhouette closer to the Shawcraft and away from the McKinstry...)
Actually - having really studied the McKinstry for a while (since their 2010 debut I guess), and having considered it... I just find them incredibly frustrating in their attempt to alter the classic geometry in a bid that was paradoxically so, so close to success, yet so, so far off the mark and dashed by an ultimately ungainly and warped real-life build. To this end, I've sort of come up with a theory; while the shoulders are constantly lamented for being too compacted and humped, and the base too tall, as if the two were designed independently of each other (as I think they were in the actual build), I'd actually go so far as to say what really ruined it was none of these.
The base itself is conical, and I think this is actually what buggers the whole thing. Yet while the effect is obvious, the cause - that circular base - is not so obvious from any photo profile except the bird's-eye view in the concept art and some from-the-back high angled photos. I'd actually wager that if the base were more like a Shawcraft or Imperial base where the sides are parallel to each other, the front panels angle in sharply while the back is quite straight at a right angle to the sides, then the whole design would have been so, so much closer to actually working. I have no idea why they went for that circle base; I am wondering if McKinstry's art style is somewhat to blame - when he draws actual Daleks, he seems to draw them from memory and the results are interestingly inconsistent. I am wondering if some in the BBC art dept. interpreted that loose style as a fully rounded base when McKinstry didn't actually intend that? Its an interesting ponder anyway, I think.
As much as I ultimately dislike the silhouette of the New Paradigm Daleks, I am rather fond of the actual trimmings and features on the casing themselves, and its a mixed blessing that its given the Dalek fans something interesting to think about and ultimately try to fix (Mechmaster comes close with the True Paradigm, but that base is still circular and for me that dashes it).
All of which, I guess, is a longwinded way of saying I am looking forward to seeing what you throw up next, in terms of any Daleks (or Cybermen!)
-so, you have some *new* NDP Daleks on the backburner? You do modify your model a lot, but I love all the variations you invent there! You always improve yourself.
I was rather curious - to that end, I've actually sketched up a 2d model myself, which is heavily influenced by your work, but a bit tweaked (its basically your model with an imperial-style skirt, and the gunboxes follow the angle of the skirt so they still extend out from the less steep midsection, but not in a way where a jarring angle breaks the flow of the whole). I was wondering if you'd like to see? Its SIMPLY pen-on-paper and a Very Simple diagram, but it makes sense and I think you'd like it... if I should upload or not..?
Anyway, looking forward to what you throw up next!
I agree- I look forward to seeing more of these!
This has the right combo of detail v. simplicity, so it looks very advanced!
Are you going to do more of these, perhaps even have a stab at one of your New Paradigm Daleks?

I was issued a ticket for failing to pay and display back in August this year, I made two informal representations, and a subsequent formal one to the issuing borough.
All to no avail, not too surprising.
Nevertheless, I followed the case up with PTAS and have just noticed that the case (appeal) has been allowed.
The reason for appealing was simple (well I thought so), that was that the ticket was invalid as did not contain the information prescribed by paragraph 1(d) of the Schedule to The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General Regulations 2007.
PATAS case number 2120552069 (click here then search for the case number)
The question that I have, is how long have they been issuing invalid PCN's, how many and are these/should these now be re funded?

Love The One Your With by Emily Giffin
Love The One Your With by Emily Giffin
Ellen and Andy's first year of marriage doesn't just seem perfect, it is perfect. There is no question how deep their devotion is, and how naturally they bring out the best in each other. But one fateful afternoon, Ellen runs into Leo for the first time in eight years. Leo, the one who brought out the worst in her. Leo, the one who left her heartbroken with no explanation. Leo, the one she could never quite forget. When his reappearance ignites long-dormant emotions, Ellen begins to question whether the life she's living is the one she's meant to live.
This is the fourth book I have read by Emily Giffin and she never disappoints. With Love The One Your With she shows love and marriage for what it really is, difficult and something you have to work at. In so many books falling in love is this perfect process where you are just drawn to someone and it is all sunshine and rainbows but Giffin does a great job writing about the different kinds of love and how you can love more than one person at the same time
Ellen is a perfectly relatable main character and I really enjoyed how human she was. I understood how she was torn between two men and why it was so hard for her to make a decision. I think it takes great character development to make readers love a character who is flirting with the idea of cheating on her amazing husband and Giffin did it so well.
The difference between Leo and Andy is night and day and Giffin did a great job making them both well-rounded characters. It was so easy to see why Ellen was drawn to both of them and by not allowing either one to be a villain, Giffin made the novel a much better read than if one was a terrible guy.
Giffin's gift as a writer is in her characters and Love The One Your With is full of characters that will tug at your heartstrings and make you think about the definition of true love.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 5
Posted By: CassandraDate: July-22, 1998 at 15:16:04
In Response To: Re: Questions about sweat, blood type and diet (Julie)
My experience has been that if you follow any program that detoxifies your system by not eating processed foods and junk anymore then you won't need it, bc it is the toxins that cause the odor, not the sweat, from what I understand. BTW, you shouldn't use aluminum based deodorants or antipersperants anyway, bc the metals are absorbed into the bloodstream. Use an all natural product instead. I like Desert Essences Tea Tree Oil based products, for deodorants, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
I say any detox program bc I have noticed that even when I was eating wheat and other avoids, but no processed foods, I didn't need deodorant.

The Magazine Gateway is located at the western end of Newarke Street. The building, circa 1410, is a mediaeval gateway added to Leicester Castle by the Third Earl of Leicester. It is a Grade I Listed Building, and is not within a Conservation Area. It is officially included within the Leicester Castle monument, but is on a detached site. Reference Number: SM1712702. Description Ashlar masonry (sandstone), three storeys, rectangular on plan. Bertizans at angles and domed octagonal stair turret. Restored parapet. Moulded four-centred arches to pedestrian and carriageways to east, only one wider arch on west, with tierceron-vault. Rectangular windows with moulded labels, mostly Victorian restoration, deeply recessed one, two or three-light stone mullion windows with cusped head lights. The Drill Hall extension of 1894 in facsimile on south has been demolished. The upper floor is divided into two large rooms with a huge fireplace on the left side. There is a spiral staircase leading to the upper floor.
The Magazine Gateway is administered by Leicester Museums Service, and is occasionally open for public viewing (more information about Magazine Gateway Museum). For further information about the Magazine Gateway and Leicester Castle, contact the City Archaeologist in the Design and Conservation Team.

Another One Bites the Dust
So much for health care "reform" controlling costs:
Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software company, said it will require employees to contribute to their health-care benefits starting in 2013, citing the rising cost of providing worker coverage.
About 95 percent of the company's roughly 90,000 employees have benefits covered completely, Lou Gellos, a spokesman for Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft, said in an interview today. He said he didn't know what portion employees will be asked to provide.
"The cost of health care has, over the years, increased dramatically," Gellos said in an interview today. "The projections going forward have them going way up, and in order to be sustainable, some sort of evolution of our health benefit was necessary."
Et tu, Gate?
Liberals are so convinced by their good intentions that they can glide from excuse to lie to prevarication without blinking. Health care reform hasn't done anything that was promised of it—and promises far worse—but it was still a good idea, the thinking goes (and I use that word, ahem, liberally).
Here's another one:
As the infamous Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) winds down this week, Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C. are patting themselves on the back for a job well done. Not only are they claiming to have saved the nation from a "Second Great Depression," this so-called economic miracle was apparently purchased at a bargain basement price.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, TARP will cost taxpayers "only" $66 billion. The White House puts the figure even lower – at $50 billion.
Of course these rosy, election-year estimates are based on government liquidating its ownership stake in hundreds of "private" corporations – including a 92 percent stake in the American International Group (AIG) and a 61 percent stake in General Motors (GM).
For taxpayers to recoup their "investment" in AIG, the government will have to sell 1.66 billion shares of common stock at an average price of $29 per share. At GM, the government must sell 304 million shares of common stock at an average price of nearly $134 per share. Hitting these targets would be a daunting task in any economic climate – and may prove insurmountable in our ongoing malaise.
"How does one get $49 billion out of a company that's currently worth $25 billion?" an investment research publication recently asked. "The follow on question is: why would investors buy AIG shares while the government's AIG stock sale could last 18-24 months?"
Short answer? They wouldn't – and likely won't.
Meanwhile, none of the TARP money that's been repaid to the U.S. government thus far is actually being returned to taxpayers. Nor is it being used to pay down America's ballooning debt. Instead, it's being spent on new bailouts, more borrowing and additional deficit spending.
Remember? Money lent was supposed to be paid with interest, thereby contributing not a cent to the national debt. Of course you don't remember. Each promise from this administration expires upon its articulate (and clean!) utterance.
Besides, who can oppose the progressive wet-dream of more bailouts to favored industries and interest groups? We didn't lie, they tell themselves, we improved the truth.
Being liberal means feeling guilty over the failings of others, but never your own.
