CCDware installation issues?--I stand corrected
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:38 PM
I find it unacceptable when modern software doesn't even install on a fully updated, modern computer.
I get a 'fatal error' at the out set of trying to install Pempro 2.
What would be so special about Pempro if Maxim DL, Backyard EOS, ASCOM 6, Artemis, Starry Night Pro Plus 6, NexRemote, Nebulosity 3, Ph.D Guiding, and so on and so forth don't have any trouble running on my system?
I refuse to trouble shoot stuff like this any more so unless I can be provided a quick "oh I know" fix, I will pass on CCDware products I guess.
I edited this to make is more constructive and less 'pissy' sounding... how did I do?
EDIT: I DID troubleshoot after all and got it to work. What can I say, I can't stand to be defeated by software. Still irritating though at what I had to do to get it to install.

I run Win 7 X64 and every piece of CCDWare software.. As do hundreds/thousands of other users..
Get your fact straight before posting innuendos and falsehoods as if its a global issue when the fact is your computer literate skills are in fact, very illiterate.
Your post makes it sound as if CCDWare is scamming people.
Nice Signature.. Very little experience with all that equipment? In for a penny, in for a pound I guess.. The little experience must carry over to those L33T computer skills too huh? Because your troubleshooting experience is not up to par...

I say give it a try on another computer or two and see if you get the same message.

I don't need to know you personally. I know of your kind.. Most don't know an RJ-11 from an RJ-45.. "HEY MA! WHATS AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WID THIS HERE PHONE CORD!"
I've had my "2" cents.. I'm done with this wacked thread..

EDIT: I did get it to install on the other two computers but I had to do some tinkering with adding a .ocx file on one and using the DOS command prompt on both to run the installation using the /qn switch.
I'll give it a try next chance I get!

i had nebulosity on my earlier XP machine and that did not result in any installation issues.
hope you get the issues resolved. my experience suggests negative press about ccdware is not justified.

I have a few observations of the dynamics of the astronomical software industry, and a few things need to be said.
First off, with a few exceptions, these are truly small operations. My impression of walking around the Advanced Imaging Conference, is that two thirds of the people who bring us these programs are really guys who do (or did) something else for a living. Then they wrote a little something to help them in their own personal imaging, and one of their buddies asked to use it, and another, and so forth, until it became a commercial product. Then it grew, and grew. Some operations have grown way past this stage and become full fledged companies, with testing and development staff and programming specialists, system analysts, and all that. But many are still one or a few people just trying to keep up with the developments in astroimaging and equipment and computers. Some are still guys doing it out of their back pocket at home while they still have a day job.
Secondly, this means that all the testing that we may want to go on simply cannot happen. We are often, in effect, the Beta Testers, even after the product is issued as a final product.
One other thing that needs to be said-----there are an awful lot of switches, buttons, wires, configurations, specifications, and all that that must be set in an awful lot of places to get this stuff to work just as it is advertized. A one-man shop simply cannot anticipate all these different permutations. I for instance could not get one executive program to take dawn flats because it would report that it was waiting for the sun to come up--even though the sun was already shining. What had happened is that the planetarium program it was trying to control had disconnected when the executive program had temporarily parked the mount waiting for dawn. I finally figured this out, and found the option in the planetarium program to end this (IT was three sub menus and a scroll down a couple of screens before I found it.)
Microsoft (open architecture) and other huge software writers would handle this huge number of permutations by putting a huge number of people on the problem, testing all the possible variables. Apple (closed architecture) would handle it by restricting all the equipment it deals with to a very strict set of interfacing standards, preferably their own products. Let us not get into the other implications, benefits, and drawbacks of the open versus closed architecture approach. But our astroimaging software writers are giving us open architecture without a thousand people to test the permutations.
Now, it is true that these guys are active participants in their own support forums and the Yahoo groups that serve as their support forums. And we all hear, repeatedly, that these guys "give great support--all you have to do is contact them....." But really, would we buy from Microsoft or Apple if their advertising slogan was....."It may not work for you, but it has really great people to help you out when it doesn't."
Sorry for the long post, but really, I think the state of the software is not really good. But it is better than sitting there staring into an eyepiece pushing the up down left right button while guiding a star. Considering it is from a bunch of guys doing it almost as a hobby, we are lucky. Of course if it is a hobby, why did the software cost $395? No easy answer.

One computer it would not install on is a Vista Home 32-bit PC...My observatory computer it would not install on is a Windows 7 Home 64-bit PC.
there's the problem "Vista Home" and "Windows Home"... never buy Vista and never buy 'Home' editions.
seriously, i suggest only buy the 'Pro' version of windows. i have seen far too many 'this doesn't work' with lesser versions. did vista ever work for anything? :o
sounds like you did an excellent sleuthing job to get it working.

The software runs well on thousands of PC's - except for your yours. Hopefully, being the savvy computer software consumer that you are - you're dealing with the full featured trial version and you can simply uninstall and move on.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 01:19 PM
I hail back to before there was a distinction between 'programmers' and 'hardware' types. Speaking as (formerly) a sometimes programmer on very many systems and achitectures and operating systems, from assembly/machine on up if software does not install properly it is NOT the fault of the 'computer' or the OS it is running. It is entirely that fault of whatever 'installer program' is used.
The installer program must do all the global checking and identification / locating and provide whatever decision switches are up to the user or intelligently determine best fit, or even if it is a suitable platform to run on and proceed accordingly. These began to be provided some time ago to end users as an option to manually installing the software and playing in system registry's a whole slew of other stuff as programs and operating systems became more complex and in ways 'versatile' while keeping reverse compatability and interoperability while sometimes sharing common resources so as not to clog up the system with 'stuf'.
There was a terrible underlying assumption that all would followin good standard rules and discpline in the various programs. Often not the case as folks used things in specific hardware and software and used 'tricks' to make their programs work.
This 'auto-install' is an entirely sepirate 'thing' from the progam you are tying to install, or the system you are installing it on. So it is this "auto-install" that needs fixin' and nuttin else.
I think it is important to note that when these don't work properly it is hugely frustrating, and worthwhile to post about. Auot-install software should not be 'another joker in the deck'. I think it equally important to say what exactly it is being installed on and with/how, as it all matters in the details. It matters to others who might be considering doing the same (who may come upon this thread in the future), and to the person vending the program to be installed.
I find it unacceptable when modern software doesn't even install on a fully updated, modern computer.
I completely agree! Inattention to this is unacceptable, and makes me wonder what else wasn't paid attention to as it 'mostly worked'. I just think it also important to try and be precise and count to ten or 100 or 1000 -whatever it takes before you post to try and state the problem in a way that will help folks now and in the future.

I've corresponded with Ray on numerous issues over the past years (CCDStack and PEMPro) and have found him to provide very direct advice, supportive of solutions that always worked for me. Additionally, he has been astonishingly prompt in responding to my questions.
Nevertheless Rob, you are having (or had) problems with some of CCDWare's products and level of support. That's unfortunate as that is not the experience I have had. I wish you would have had a more positive experience and would have been able to use CCDWare's products with a different ending. In the end CCDWare's software did not work out for you. We're all entitled to our own opinion formulated by experiences and knowledge, do you agree? You've voiced yours, others will agree, disagree and-or offer comment as that by nature is what this forum is about.
Perhaps you should move on and look at other software to fulfill your needs. And if you decide to do so, I'd be very interested to know your findings on ease of implementation, usability and technical support. Best of luck to you!

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for posting. You're right.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 02:13 AM
Being slightly OCD I decided to go ahead and do a 'repair upgrade' reinstall of windows 7. Just to see....
Well, after doing so both PEMPro 2 and CCDI install fine. I already apologized to Ray on his support forum for being so sure (and absolutely wrong) about the issue but I wanted to let you all know too that I was indeed wrong and the problem was my windows 7 installation somehow or another.
I just let the fact that the system is only 2 weeks old (and I wouldn't ever assume it came from the manufacturer already screwed up)and that all my other software was installing fine lead me to believe it was weakness with PEMPro and CCDI.
Regardless, I really don't have an excuse and I have been kicking myself for my ranting ever since this afternoon when I decided to delete all my whiny posts. I am terribly sorry to have caused such a stink about my installation problems and I am thankful that Ray is a very nice guy with a ton of patience who was professional and courteous to me every step of the way.

I am using zcs 4.6 on a Fedora core 6 platform. I had to create ~90 ditribution lists, so I made a script thad added them automaticaly. But it seems that I encountered some problems after creatig them. Even though I had no errors when creating them, some of them are not listed. I tried to create them once again, but I recieved an error message thad said the lists already exist. So I tried then do delete them, but again, I got a message that said the lists do not exist.
So, what can be done to recreate the lists or to restore them?? I would really need to find out where are the lists kept and how could I interfere with them.
Thank you.

Integrated Square-Shaped Spiral Inductor
Application ID: 129
This model considers a square inductor that is used for LC bandpass filters in MEMS systems. The simulation calculates the self-inductance.
The first step in the modeling is to compute the currents in the inductor. These currents are the source for the magnetic flux computations, carried out in a second step.

You have a really bad attitude, you might want to rethink your feelings of superiority to anyone. At one time or another I have had engineers from just about every region of the world reporting to me. The East Europeans thought themselves superior (that would be the group you immigrated with) but rarely could push a tough job, the folks from ME had been around camels & simple carts too much though I did have an Egyptian that was a real producer, the folks from India had a real issue with their lead engineer being willing to get himself dirty to get a job done & the folks East of India to Korea had to be taught to stand up to authority (once that was done they were really good engineers, though not real original). The best at what we did were the good old farm boys from middle america .

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Marvin : you just described the engineers(tech)at IBM in San Jose/Santa Clara to a T...one of my brothers worked for a telecommunications division of theirs just before the dot com bubble, and they were importing engineers left, right, and center from every part of the globe for EXACTLY the reasons you mentioned, and just like you explained when the SHTF they generally caved and were not up to the task at hand..seems like the engineering schools just didnt match up with those found here in the states
Being a Brit, you should be a whole lot more greatful for what America gives you. You could have been speaking German!

Before moving to the US he simply worked for an ally. The British dept of defense. If you have an issue with that so be it.
If you have an issue with being proud of your father for going beyond and above to get a few Americans home when you don't get to see Daddy for days so be it.
He kept Appllo 13 alive. That was his job. That did not happen in Huston TX. It happened in CT. They are the ones that dealt with the O2 levels and how low they could go. They pushed the limits. My dad saw the movie once and could never watch it again. I walked those halls. I grew up with those that really brought them home by keeping them alive.
On the other end we have a friend of dh who went to MIT worked for Seimens and I have no time for.

Hello all,
My company uses MS Exchange IMAP 2010 server and I use ZDesktop 7.1.2(latest) in Ubuntu 11.10. Sync frequency is every 1 minute.
Today I sent an e-mail before getting out of home and had a feeling that I missed some file in the attachment but found in my workplace that the sent item was not sync'ed with the server.
I double checked in my home that the mail was certainly moved to the sent folder and I waited 1-2 minutes to ensure it's sync'ed.
I think the mail was sent actually, as this is not the first time it happened.
So here are my questions:
1. Is there any way to sync with the Sent folder immediately after sending the e-mail?
2. Is there an option to include/exclude which folder to be synchronized?
I think immediate-sync feature is useful because it won't create much overhead as it has to be done only once after the mail is sent and ensures that the mail is always sync'ed properly.

I think it would depend on how far away from metropolitan areas you are. The closer you are to cities, the more traffic you're going to experience.
Wanted to get everyone's opinion on this. I have a couple units in mind that I'll try to draw this year with 1 point as a NR to do a solo backpack high country archery hunt.
With the season opening over labor day weekend can you give me an idea of the crowd conditions. Do most bowhunters aim to be out there opening day? I imagine its a popular weekend for hikers as well. I'm sure this varies with the popularity of the unit for either hiking or hunting. I'm trying to draw a unit that gave out less than 75 permits last year.
I'm just unsure that should I draw if I should aim to be out there opening day vs fly out the 2nd saturday of the season.
I think it would depend on how far away from metropolitan areas you are. The closer you are to cities, the more traffic you're going to experience.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
I'm not sure what area you are planning on going into but I can tell you what I see where I hunt:
On or within 2miles of the main trail on the valley floor I see 2-5 people over a weekend. In the high country I generally see 1-2 people a year. If I go into places where I chase mountain goats or sheep I expect to see no one.
In more popular areas with lots of road access and flatter terrain I used to see a dozen people a day or more. I stopped hunting there.
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
Lots of hikers all over the backcountry all along the divide and CT... Won't be much of an issue though... Most hunters have a deep ambition to hunt high and from what I have seen, many try it once or twice and quit because of the heart and drive it takes to make it happen up there.
Most hunters will be within 1 mile from the trails or roads... With that said, when you get yourself packed in further than 3-5 miles, you're usually by yourself. Especially if its not a unit that you can draw every year... Makes it easier with less tags like the 75 you refer to.
"This is A Way of Life"
Here in Colorado, if you start out at a trailhead that accesses either a 14er or a high country lake you will most likely run into at least a fair number of hikers, if you're doing it on a weekend. If you get on a trail that goes where you can leave the trail after a ways and access some basins without trails into them you most likely have the area to yourself, unless someone else is hunting just like you are. The average hiker is looking for one of the afore mentioned destinations. There is usually someone at the nearest USFS office that can offer some insights on your destination and what to seen on your way there.
I hunt an area that ranges from 9,000 ft to 11,500 ft elevation and I have hunted it both archery and rifle The specific spot I hunt I vary rarely see anyone during the rifle season (always a chance for bad weather), although I do run across some. However, during archery there are loads of people getting out (much warmer). On opening weekend last year there were 15 people wandering through my area, not good hunting. I waited until the last weekend to go up and there were only three of us, still too crowded, however, I did have animals that I passed on. Good weather equals big crowds. Opening weekend equals big crowds. Close to trails equals big crowds. Areas with horse access have equaled bad hunting for me. I have guys ride their horses right through the elk corridor. Usually I will get some action as animals get pushed from these guys but after they leave it is time for me to leave as well.
In more popular areas with lots of road access and flatter terrain I used to see a dozen people a day or more. I stopped hunting there.
What state and unit??????????
I see the same thing here in WA, with Labor Day tourists getting the last gasp out of the weekend before the kiddies have to be in school.

Walter Warwick Sawyer was a mathematician and author who made a major contribution to mathematical education. He recently passed away in Canada, aged 96. He was very much concerned with the practical applications of mathematics and considered that students taught mathematics without an appreciation of its application would have no more understanding of what they were learning than a machine. His love of mathematics is seen in the title of his first book, the highly acclaimed Mathematician's Delight, whose aim was to "dispel the fear of mathematics".Read more...

Gresham College: New Gresham Professor of Geometry
Professor John Barrow FRS, the Director of the Millennium Mathematics Project and Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University, has been appointed the new Gresham Professor of Geometry at Gresham College in London for 2008-2011. Founded in 1596, this is the oldest mathematics professorship in the UK and previous holders include Isaac Barrow, Robert Hooke, and Roger Penrose. John Barrow was Gresham Professor of Astronomy from 2003-7 and is the only person other than Laurence Rooke, in 1657, to hold Gresham chairs in two different subjects.

It is common belief among teachers and parents that when teaching mathematical concepts, the best way to illustrate them is with 'real-world' examples. However, researchers at Ohio State University's Center for Cognitive Science have found the exact opposite — that college students taught a new mathematical concept with real-world, concrete examples were less able to apply their knowledge to new situations than students taught with abstract symbols.Read more...

Got what it takes?
The European Space Agency is looking for recruits, and it seems that good mathematical abilities can help you rise to the top of the heap. 50,000 applications are expected for the four positions on offer to be astronauts on the International Space Station.
BBC News Magazine has detailed all the boxes you need to tick to be in the running in their story So what is the right stuff? Apart from being young (between 27 and 37) and having life experience, you need patience, bravery, to work well in a team and in a strange environment, and be psychologically capable of dealing with the stresses (and the loneliness) of the job.
On top of this, you need to be at least degree qualified in engineering, science, medicine or maths. So, if you're a maths grad and this sounds like you, see the ESA careers page.

Effects of Learning Styles on the Selection of Search Tactics: A Preliminary Result
Rachel M. Magee, Robin Naughton, Patri O'Gan, Andrea Forte and Denise E. Agosto
Monday, 6:30pm
In this study, we investigated how searchers' learning styles would influence their selection of search tactics. We measured searchers' learning styles including Active/Reflective and Sensing/Intuitive dimensions using Felder and Silverman's (1988) instrument. Then, based on multiple regression, the effects of learning styles on searchers' selection patterns of search tactics were examined. Preliminary results of this study indicates that (1) active searchers spent more time in accessing forward tactics, (2) sensing searchers spent more time in visiting previous pages and (3) in evaluating search results, and (4) reflective searchers spent more time in evaluating individual items.

Installing Moser 60 Rearend Axles - A New Rear For Your Mopar - First Look At The New Moser 60Written by on July 1, 2004 Contributors: Courtesy Moser Engineering Moser Engineering Fills The Gap-Again
Beginning in the mid-'60s, if you wanted the ultimate in an indestructible, no-holds-barred rearend that would take any abuse you could throw at it, Mopar was the company that could supply what you needed-the Dana 60. Over the years, the 9 3/4-inch (Dana 60) was installed in everything from Darts to Road Runners to 'Cudas and so on. Originally, it was used only in 440 four-speed and 426 Hemi-equipped musclecars between 1966 and 1972. The Dana 60 is essentially a 3/4-ton truck axle with smaller wheel bearings and brakes. With its large 9 3/4-inch ring gear and 1 1/2-inch-diameter axle shafts, the Dana's only serious disadvantage is its weight. But what makes this rear so indestructible?
The differential utilized a plate-clutch-type Sure Grip housed within a cast-steel housing. The Dana 60 was available in two configurations: the car version and a truck (or industrial) version. The car version was equipped with a mounting point for the pinion snubber, and the truck unit was not. The truck Dana housing is rounded as opposed to flat in the snubber mounting area. For passenger-car use, a pinion snubber in this location helped to prevent the torque from forcing the rearend too far upward. Most Dana 60 assemblies you find at swap meets are usually the truck unit, which will work fine unless you are intending to use a pinion snubber.
Local Mopar guy Dave Young has a nice-looking '68 Barracuda filled with a 500-inch-wedge engine producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 3/4-axle-twisting horsepower. How did we come to that deduction? Dave twisted his 8 3/4. We knew a Dana was the only logical answer, but finding one was going to take some time and effort. When we heard that Moser Engineering had recently tooled up and was building their version (called the Moser 60), our question was answered. A call to Moser confirmed the rumor, and the stuff was soon on its way to us.
But we wanted to know-what goes into building a Moser 60? We decided to get some photos and spill the beans to everyone. So follow along as we build a bigger butt.
Using the diagram on the Moser Engineering web site, we designed the rear to fit our '68 Barracuda.
So what do we think of the Moser 60? It's about time somebody did this. Finally, a Dana-style rear that can be built to put under your restored Mopar or a killer unit can be built like we did. Either way, Moser hits the nail on the head for making a rearend that anyone can use.

First, the center is pulled off the shelf, and the required 3-inch tubes are installed and welded in place.In our application, a four-bar suspension setup is utilized, and we sent Moser the brackets. There are too many application specific combinations for a four-link, so Moser will not weld the mounts into place. After the brackets were slid onto the tubes, the required ends were welded on. If you are using a leaf-spring rear, the spring perches are mounted by Moser to your specifications.D = 42 inches

Before assembly begins, the bearings and ring gear are preheated to a temperature not to exceed 300-degrees Fahrenheit. Heating expands these pieces to aid in installation, but heating over 300 degrees will cause too much expansion and damage to the parts.Placing the required amount of pinion-gear shims is easier for the Moser crew because they do it day in and day out. It helps that they manufacture the housings and deal with a known tolerance.With the pinion seal and the inner-and-outer-pinion bearing-races installed, the pinion gear is shoved in the hole.The yoke threads are lubed, the yoke is then installed, and the nut tightened to a "turn it till it almost breaks and then stop" torque reading. This translates to 250-270 lb-ft.Next, the ring gear is bolted to the spool, and the side shims and spool bearings are installed. What makes the 60 different from other rearends that are similar, is the shims used on the spool to adjust the backlash are placed between the bearing and the spool, instead of the bearing and the housing. This also requires a try-as-you-go process, like the pinion gear shims, and is usually time consuming.
After the final backlash is adjusted, the bearing caps are put in place and torqued. After the caps are installed, Moser again checks the backlash to make sure it is still within spec.Although a stock-style cover can be used, we wanted to try and break the Moser 60, so a rear cover with bearing supports was installed. The cover is tightened to the housing, and then the bearing-cap support bolts are torqued. The support bolts, when torqued, are in place to keep the bearing caps from flexing under extreme conditions.The Moser 60 is put in place, and the ladder bars are installed on the mounts. Before connecting the bars, each bar is adjusted to the center of its travel.Although we have been trying to get Dave to convert to disc brakes for safety reasons, he still insists the drum brakes work fine.With the brakes slid into place, the axles can then be installed. Our brake drums needed turned, and the wheel stud holes enlarged. We took them to Harrel's Automotive in Lakeland, Florida, and Lonny set us up.Here is the Moser rear ready to ship. Moser can even powder coat your rear, but since we would be welding the ladder-bar mounts to it, we opted to have it shipped bare.Twisting off the wheel studs at any speed is a major bummer. To make sure that is not a problem, Moser sent these 5/8-inch thread-in studs with spacers and nuts.With the car on the lift at Inline Performance Specialist, Todd Struck made sure the rearend is centered in the car and wheel opening before the welding begins.
After everything has been measured and found to be square with the car, welding can begin. When you are welding, make sure to not weld in one location for a long period of time. This will twist and bend the housing, and the rearend will no longer be straight.Before the car could be driven, installation instructions require the car be jacked up and ran thru the gears a couple times. Let's just say a freewheeling, 500-inch wedge sounds awesome.We thought the ladder-bar mounts would make a good place to mount the shocks. We thought wrong. With the mounts squared to the frame, the shocks were angled more than we liked. So we ordered a pair of shock mounts from Competition Engineering.With the rear in place, it was time to weigh the car and set the bars close to where we needed them.Once the pinion angle was set, it was time to set the preload. With a four-link setup, the lower bars set the wheel base, and the top bars are for adjustments. The upper-left bar is to adjust the pinion angle, and the upper-right bar is to adjust preload. Our left bar was set, and the right bar was adjusted to add a small amount of weight to the nose of the car to balance it out.We tried to break the rear. We threw everything we could at it. The car was spinning the tires a bit, but still managed 1.4 60-foot times. Even with the car spinning at the line, we still managed to get some respectable eighth-mile times. Eighth-mile was consistently high 6.5s, and this equates to quarter-mile times in the high 9.6s. Once we get the bars adjusted a little better low 9s will be had.

A new study has the attention of Michigan highway safety experts.
The study, conducted by the Michigan State Police's office of Highway Safety Planning shows that in one year "distracted" drivers caused 4,200 accidents.
The biggest segment of those distracted drivers, 1,100, were classified as tired or sleepy.
That category beat our cell phone users who cause accidents, 823 talkers caused accidents.
The Highway Safety Planning office says it wants to see at least two or three more years of data before it decides whether or not cell phones are road hazards. Until then, the jury is out.

TIG Welding Equipment And SetupWritten by on December 1, 2011
Now that we've finally graduated from our short courses on MIG welding, we can move onto the next overview series: TIG welding. Otherwise known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), this type of arc welding has a wider spread of material applications and user advantages than any other type, theoretically making it the perfect choice for both professional and hobbyist welders alike. But in reality, that doesn't always seem to be the case.
A MIG welder is almost too easy to use. With a fairly modest equipment investment (and less supplies) as well as the ability to weld a decent range of material thicknesses, you can see why many chose to go this route—and more often than not, stick with it. (And it's very common for MIG users to have a difficult time learning the process and becoming proficient at TIG welding.) A TIG welder, on the other hand, requires a bit more skill, good hand/eye coordination, and up until recently, cost substantially more than your typical MIG welding setup (additionally, more consumables—such as tungsten, filler rod, collets, etc.—are, well, consumed). Again, it's no surprise that MIG welding is more popular among hobbyists. But that may become a thing of the past, thanks to Miller Electric Mfg. Co.'s Diversion series TIG welders.
Available in two output sizes, 165 and 180 amp, Miller's Diversion inverter-based TIGs take all the guesswork out and minimize initial operator input with modern, state-of-the-art interfaces. Just select material type (AC for aluminum, DC for stainless/mild steel) and thickness, then you're ready to weld. Until now, TIG welding has never been easier. And to simplify matters even more, Miller makes the transition from MIG less daunting by integrating the amperage adjustment controls directly into the torch on both Diversion models—the 180, which we've elected to work with, comes equipped with an optional foot control pedal (special order only for the 165). Another standard feature unique to the Diversion 180 is Miller's proprietary Multi-Voltage Plug (MVP), allowing 115V or 230V power input (the 165 is 230 V only). Also, both machines have automatic pre- and post-flow shielding gas settings and high frequency non-liftoff arc starts, ultimately minimizing waste while making the most efficient use of gas and tungsten. Two additional features that are only available with the Diversion 180 are its digital interface and Auto-Line power management, which, simply put, regulates and stabilizes voltage, automatically adjusting for random power surges or drops and guaranteeing a continuous, steady arc.
The Diversion 180 is a great all-around TIG welder, perfectly suited for light fabrication/chassis work, building exhaust, and sheetmetal repair. It's also compact enough for mobile use. Best of all, it's very affordable.

2 On top of putting out more power—180 amps at 17.2 V with a 10 percent duty cycle versus 165 amps at 16.6 V with a 15 percent duty cycle—the Diversion 180 features dual-power input options. Known simply as MVP (Multi Voltage Plug), it allows the operator choice of 115 or 230 VAC with just the swapping of the plug—the welder senses input power and adjusts accordingly.3 Traditional TIG welding required amperage control be done by foot, which the Diversion series accommodates (foot control comes standard with the 180; must be ordered separately with the 165). As you can see, Miller has substantially reduced the size of the foot controller, and also uses a computer-style input cable.4 Additionally, for those intimidated by overcoming the dexterity issue (using both hands and a foot to weld), Miller has integrated amperage control directly into the TIG torch. This feature is active when the foot pedal cord is disconnected.5 The hand controls are pretty straightforward: high-frequency arc starts once the lower on/off switch is depressed and then your amperage is set for whatever the welding parameters are with the adjustment wheel above. We'll get into the specific functions in the next session.6 Other than the above-mentioned hand control, the Weldcraft TIG torch is a compact, 150-amp air-cooled torch with a 12-foot lead—consumables are not specific to this particular model and can be obtained at leading welding supply stores (or directly from Miller online).7 Shielding gas we'll be using is straight argon, not supplied with welder—however, a Smith 10-15CFH (argon/C02) regulator/flowmeter is included.8 Similar to their Millermatic Auto-Set MIGs, the Diversion series TIG machines don't require the operator to manually input all the particular settings for welding—simply choose material type and thickness and the machine does the rest. That simple.

Lineups: Moustakas at The K
First-round draft pick Mike Moustakas is back at the ballpark Saturday, but instead of donning a suit and signing autographs for fans, Moose wore a BP uniform and took some swings in the cage. Moustakas jumped into the first round of Royals batting practice today in front of players, coaches, staff, media and family. The 19-year-old, who will head back to Royals Instructional League in Arizona this week, is visiting Kansas City with his family as part of Futures weekend.
It's Fan Appreciation Night at the ballpark Saturday for the Royals-Indians game, 6:10 p.m. first pitch. Royals right-hander Gil Meche (9-13, 3.69 ERA) makes his final start of the season, while Cleveland turns to Jake Westbrook (6-9, 4.32 ERA). Also, in case you haven't heard, 2006 first-round draft pick Luke Hochevar (0-0, 0.93 ERA) is scheduled to make his first big league start Sunday for the club's final game of the season.
Here are today's lineups…
For the Royals:
DeJesus – CF
Grud – 2B
Teahen – RF
Sweeney – DH
Gload – 1B
Gordon – 3B
Buck – C
Gathright – LF
Pena – SS
Meche – RHP
For the Indians:
Sizemore – CF
Cabrera – 2B
Hafner – DH
Martinez – C
Garko – 1B
Peralta – SS
Lofton – LF
Nixon – RF
Blake – 3B
Westbrook – RHP
1 Comment
I'm excited to see Hochevar get a start. It's unrealistic to expect a 1.6 ERA, but he sure has great movement, more than adequate speed and control.
Sure, you almost have to have at least one lefty in the rotation, but I'll still take Meche Bannister Greinke Hochevar1-4 all season in '08.
With Davies, DeLaRosa, Hudson, Musser, Buckner and Duckworth for Depth.
How nice would a trade for Dontrelle Willis look.
We could stand pat on offense, maybe add a RH OF like Burrell or Sosa. But next year, there are no more excuses.

"Just got back from Wyoming Mule Deer hunt. Lessons learned! Most of the deer are on private property. Most game wardens and biologists feed you a cockamainy story. Deer numbers are down. Sometimes the hunters that work the hardest get skunked, while "hunters" that road hunt tag out. All in all im willing to give the state more of my hard earned money to give it one more try...any suggestions out there?"
Your blaming other people (and an entire state) for your bad hunt. There's not a lot of help I can give you in that case. If all my buddies blamed me for not harvesting a critter over the years I'd have a lot more enemies.
Mule deer hunting is tough right now. Guys who do well fall into a few categories: 1) pure dumb luck 2) access to private land 3)lots of hard work and scouting. The only two categories you can control are 2&3. you've said #2 is out because of the cost, so your down to #3.
You said: "Most game wardens and biologists feed you a cockamainy story." Sounds like you're blaming biologists and game wardens for at least part of your bad time.
Maybe I'm just not used to your style of whining.
You applied for an area with tons of tags and tons of private land and your surprised you did not find the big one. Don't do that again?
Again, not sure how else to help you. It appears as though a bunch of guys on here are going to try though. . .
Thanks for the positive post. My parents used to live in Oshkosh. I appreciate you taking the time to give me some good info and ideas. Im glad that you have had great hunting success. I believe this forum should be about understanding and helping others in our hunting endeavors. I have been hunting enough years to know that in 30 seconds your whole hunt could change. It just didn't happen this year.
And I truly appreciate those "bunch of guys". It sounds like they are really trying to HELP, not just make smart remarks about my posts. Don't need that kind of help. I deal with that attitude enough at work. (Largest prison in Michigan, 2500 losers) God Bless!
teddy bear
sorry to say your post started the attitude. If you read it from a western perspective, it is very negative.
with that said, generally easy land to hunt is private and very tough rugged land is public. you might need to look at some areas that have lots of national forest. Tougher hunting, but you can roam for miles.
you are correct in that eastern hunting generally speaking seems to be more of a social thing. Where some people out here see it as a measure of a man. To be honest I am not sure where I sit with that one. I have let people on my property to shoot does after I am done. So maybe I am what you are describing. But we are are more self sufficient and feel that folks should do there own homework, scouting, learning the ropes. So yes it is vastly different between the 2 schools of thought. And no tellum creek which runs thru non of your business drainages is where most game animals are shot out here.
There is about 5 of us that are all solo hunters but we have our own little contest. no of us will take our friends to our spot. but we are always comparing results, just not areas. definitely different dynamics than it sounds like you are used to. but now you know where not to go, which is just as important as where to go.
I have a pretty decent elk spot, and a great deer spot, the deer spot is my yard and I am looking for a better expierence. so I will be out trying to figure where to go for nice bucks. Last week I wrote one area off. I am curious if this weekend, if I find a good area, or one to not go back to. either way it will be successful and will allow a better hunt next time. Unfortunately I have a feeling you will be doing more of that for a couple of years, until you figure out which area has the best combo of what you want in a hunt.
we will give you the shirt off of our back, the last meal we have, but no way will we say which drainage to hunt in. Priorities my man, priorities. Besides, we don't have the deer densities that back east has. Heck Idaho only allows you one deer a year, and new jersey probably allows 10.
Colorado boasts the most Boone and Crockett entries for mule deer period, that doesn't mean that every unit has a bunch running around. Public land mule deer hunting is tough. Hell I know my area well and I still put at least 40 miles on my boots over 8 or 9 days. Try to find a unit with rough terrain and lots of public land. Those two variables equals less people and bigger deer. You have to know that the Game and Fish Departments are trying to sell tags so they talk up their states. Keep at it learn a unit over 2 or 3 years and success will come.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!

Carson, CA (Sports Network) - Chivas USA has not had much to celebrate in its
eight-year tenure in Major League Soccer.
The Goats come into the new season riding a three-year playoff absence,
finishing no higher than eighth place in the Western Conference over that
Even in the four times that Chivas has managed to make the postseason, the
club failed to advance beyond the quarterfinals.
But the team's last-place finish in 2012 has given way to a new era in Chivas
lore as Jose Luis Sanchez Sola has replaced Robin Fraser to seize control of
the managerial duties.
Sola's arrival signals a return to the Hispanic movement for Chivas. The club
initially came to MLS with the intention of having a strong link to its parent
entity, Chivas de Guadalajara, and its Mexican heritage.
The manager's intentions were clear when he announced prior to the start of
the 2013 MLS SuperDraft that Chivas would select Carlos Alvarez with the
second overall pick. Not only does Alvarez's Hispanic background fit with the
club's grand plan, but he has strong ties to Chivas as his father played for
the Mexican club.
Chivas also added Eric Avila, Carlos Borja and Steve Purdy, but will they be
enough to replace the big names that left the Goats in the offseason?
Juan Pablo Angel and Alejandro Moreno were not re-signed, putting a great deal
of pressure on young striker Juan Agudelo to stay healthy and produce goals on
a regular basis. It could be a make-or-break season for Agudelo, even as a 20-
Chivas lost a pair of midfield stalwarts in Shalrie Joseph and Nick LaBrocca,
but Sola will be banking on Miller Bolanos and Oswaldo Minda finally coming
good and fulfilling their potential.
It could be a case of addition by subtraction for Chivas this season. Angel,
Moreno, Joseph and LaBrocca carry a lot of clout in terms of name recognition
in MLS, but they were unable to fuse their individual abilities for the good
of the team.
What Sola's squad may lack in quality it is likely to make up for with pace
and aggression, characteristics that his current crop of players possess in
It may be the perfect marriage of coach and roster that gets Chivas out of the
Western Conference cellar, but if Sola is slow out of the gates, there may be
some familiar headlines coming out of The Home Depot Center this season.
2012 IN REVIEW: League play left a lot to be desired from Chivas as the club
finished bottom of the West and second from bottom overall with 30 points from
34 games. The team did fare well in the U.S. Open Cup, reaching the semifinals
before being ousted by Seattle Sounders FC. The Goats also managed to rattle
off some impressive wins against Real Salt Lake and the Los Angeles Galaxy,
but that did little to overshadow an otherwise dismal campaign.
ACQUISITIONS: Carlos Alvarez (M), Eric Avila (M), Carlos Borja (D), Steve
Purdy (D).
LOSSES: Juan Pablo Angel (F), Danny Califf (D), Shalrie Joseph (M), Nick
LaBrocca (M), Alejandro Moreno (F).
OUTLOOK: The bright spot for Chivas is that it cannot get much worse. The bad
news is that last season's playoff teams out of the Western Conference have
experienced very little turnover while those that fell just short have
retooled their squads. Chivas appears to have made much smaller strides, but
they could be the ones this time. A playoff appearance this season would be
massive for Chivas, a club in transition. Anything more would be icing on the

DO the Wia's stay more or less the same year to year?
My guess would be that the residents know the area better and may have access to more private land to hunt. Stats can be somewhat deceiving in units with lots of private land because alot of the animals could have been harvested on private land that most hunters dont have access to and the public land success rate would be much lower then the over all success rate.
DO the Wia's stay more or less the same year to year?
Most probably dont change much but land owners could take their property out or add their property so its hard to say. I dont know the details on WY's program.
I imagine planning this is easier after the first year? Or with more points....my head hurts lol thanks for the help everyone
Is anyone familiar with the gordon or ramsbottom farms in unit 20? pm with info please

Nursing homes that have embraced culture change demonstrated a significant reduction in health-related survey deficiencies, a study shows. Deficiency citations fell by 14.6 percent between 2004 and 2009 in homes that have implemented culture change relative to a control group of non-culture change nursing homes. This study was published in a special supplement "Transforming Nursing Home Culture: Evidence for Practice and Policy" to the February 2014 issue of The Gerontologist. The abstract is available by visiting http://gerontologist.oxfordjournals.org/content/54/Suppl_1/S35.abstract.

Hands-on projects stimulate students' brains at camp
Published: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 3:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 3:42 p.m.
Fourteen brains were packed with excitement, experiments and fun learning this week at Davidson County Community College during a camp to engage them in STEM education.
Rising first-, second- and third-graders from all over Davidson County had the opportunity Friday to showcase projects they took part in during the past four days to parents and family members in the Conference Center.
"I feel really excited," said Davis-Townsend Elementary School third-grader Julia Kepley.
DCCC started the "Big Brain Camp" last year to offer students fun and interactive introductions to science, technology, engineering and math through several hands-on activities. The college also hosted 20 children last week during the first session.
"I'm amazed at all the experiments we did and how they all worked," Julia, 7, said. "It was fun meeting students from other schools. I would encourage others to attend because it's a really good experience for them, and they should come."
Andrea Packer, camp counselor and developer of the curriculum, said the program promotes STEM education. She noted they learned a lot from last year and did some things differently this year to engage the students more. Packer is also a teacher at the child development center at DCCC.
She said the campers focused on three key words — cohesion, surface tension and air pressure — while participating in their hands-on projects. Packer noted that the LEGO Robotics are always a big hit with the youths.
"It went well," she said. "We tried to wow them and then talk about it. We just reinforced things they are supposed to be taught in school. They were really excited about it."
All week students engaged in projects, labs, hands-on activities and demonstrations that support the schools' curriculum.
Welcome Elementary third-grader Caroline Dasch's favorite projects were ones that involved explosions.
"It was an awesome week. I liked all of the experiments," said Caroline, 8.
Will Rummage, a third-grader at Welcome Elementary School, liked all of the experiments, too. He learned that when you put two chemicals together you get a chemical reaction. He encouraged other students to come next year.
"This is a great camp. The counselors are super nice. It's fun," he said.
