Astro-Physics Mach1GTO vs 10Micron GM1000HPS
Posted 28 August 2012 - 09:51 AM
Currently I use a 10" newtonian with a focal length of 1357mm and a weight of 16kg. I'll use this telescope for imaging on the new mount. I'll replace this telescope in the near future with a 10" carbon RC with a focal length of 2000mm and a weight of 15kg.
I'm automating my setup, so a good interface with a PC is required (Maxim DL, CCD Commander, MaxPoint, etc).
The pro's and con's of the mounts
+ Proven quality
+ Good remote control - ascom driver
- Backlash
- Periodic Error
+ High res encoder RA
- Italian electronics
- Ascom driver available?
- No reviews so far?
Who can advise me in this decision?

What backlash? What periodic error?
- Backlash
- Periodic Error

Is this true with the 10Micron, I have no idea.

On the other hand it's a well developed mount and does his job very good.

The 10 Micron mounts are also excellent. But for the same reason I wouldn't get and ASA mount, I wouldn't get a 10 Micron. Something having to go back for service is a 3 month "costly" affair.

I like AP very much, but it uses an old-fashioned drive. Nowadays you can choose between friction drive, direct drive, high res encoders, etc. all for better tracking accuracy. The specs say maximum 7arcsec PE, that can be less with newer drives, even make guiding unnecessary.
On the other hand it's a well developed mount and does his job very good.
What's wrong with old fashioned, if it gets the job done?
Also, the 7 second PE you reference is the maximum acceptable mechanical error. Most users's I've seen are reporting much lower. And with PEC running, it is much lower still. From the reports that I've seen, using the Mach1 with PEC enabled and APCC driving the mount, long unguided exposures are quite feasible.
I had a similar conversation the other day regarding a friend who's interested in an ASA mount. A few of us have chosen AP for our mount upgrades, and a part of me thinks that he wants to be different.
At the end of the day, there are a number of mounts that just work. I'm familiar with AP and Paramount and, less so, ASA and 10Micron (but everything I've heard suggests that they are very fine instruments). Yes, there are differences between them, but it seems like they all perform so well that these differences don't matter in a practical way.
To me, it almost comes down to geography. If you are in the United States, I would look first to AP and Paramount. In Europe, I would probably look at ASA and 10Micron. From both a service standpoint, and various economic factors, it just makes sense to me to buy "locally" if possible.

As to some of your listed pro's and con's for each...
- Backlash: I wouldn't worry about it. It isn't relevant in RA (since the motors never reverse direction in tracking), and in declination you simply make sure you adjust only in one direction (whichever is required by imperfections in your polar alignment). It is more a theoretical minus than a practical one
- Periodic Error: If you are planning on doing long, unguided exposures and will be able to leave your mount and scope permanently setup, then this is a legitimate advantage for the 10Micron mount. If, however, this is a portable system or you plan on running an autoguider, this is a total non-issue. The amount of PA in an A-P mount is low enough that, with an autoguider, there is virtually no image degradation from periodic error. Seeing totally overwhelms PA even at a good site. Your autoguider will easily be able to correct for a 2 arcsecond PTV periodic error (typical after PEMPro). For a permanent site, the lack of periodic error in the 10Micron seems cool and may well allow unguided imaging. Personally, I like having an autoguider in place--I'm even making the jump to AO.
- Italian Electronics: Don't know what the track record is on the 10Micron electronics. The mounts have a good reputation, but they haven't been out in the field as long as the A-P mounts, but this wouldn't be a deciding factor for me if I were in your shoes. Even the A-P mounts fail sometimes, and getting support easily is more critical, in my opinion. I have had one cable break (internal wire) and a hand controller go bad on my Mach1 GTO. You just need a responsive, supportive company standing behind the product. If 10Micron stands behind the product you should be good to go.
-Ascom driver: This could matter since you want to control the mount remotely. Check with 10Micron.
- No reviews so far: I think this is just because of limited distribution outside of Europe. The American market still dominates amateur astronomy. Call 10Micron and ask for some customer references, then follow-up with the customers. I bet they have actual owners you could talk to.
As I said at the beginning, assuming you live in Europe I would get the 10Micron.

That aside, I agree location would most likely be a motivator to me. But note, a remotely located user with a Bisque Paramount ME in the mountains of a foreign (to me) country can expect a part to be shipped and a call with Dan or Steve Bisque to walk them through a repair if required. Oh, and if they have pointing issues they can expect Patrick Wallace to personally review their data and assist by engaging in the Bisque forums.
You can't put a price on that.

Maybe you shouldn't. Ignorance is bliss. I read there about quite a few nasty problems with ASA mounts.
Thanks Joe, I will certainly do that.
Posted 31 August 2012 - 05:49 PM
That's why you get a Mach1.
Posted 31 August 2012 - 06:23 PM
Maybe you shouldn't. Ignorance is bliss. I read there about quite a few nasty problems with ASA mounts.
Most issues are related to 'not understanding' the mount. It's a direct drive mount and it's a different concept compared with 'conventional' drives. It's has to be tuned to your specific setup. People who are able to control this mount can have unguided frames of 30 minutes at a focal length of 2500mm, because of the sky and tracking models, high res encoder feedback and correcting movement 100 times per second. I'm skeptical about this, but I believe it can work beter than a conventional AP.
Posted 31 August 2012 - 07:09 PM
Most issues are related to 'not understanding' the mount.
Hmm? Have you already read all posts in that forum
Just on the front page, there are complaints about tracking issues which the manufacturer is unable to resolve.
Posted 31 August 2012 - 07:32 PM
Most remaining 'tracking' issues are because of mirror shifts or flex in the focuser. Nothing to do with the mount, but not helping unguided imaging either. The MLPT feature in the software should be able to fix that. But like I said; I'm skeptical and do not have the illusion to take unguided images at 2000mm. But I do believe that the remaining error is very small an could be guided out with very few corrections.
EDIT: Also some knowledge about PID controllers is needed and it's very easy to get an unstable (oscillating) loop.
Posted 31 August 2012 - 07:53 PM
With an AP, you balance and go.
Posted 31 August 2012 - 08:41 PM
Posted 01 September 2012 - 08:57 AM
Posted 01 September 2012 - 12:02 PM
Spoke to my local dealer today. Still some issues with the ASA. And I was right about unguided imaging at a focal length of 2000mm; I can be done, but it will be a pain in the @#%^. So it's advisable to use a guider with the ASA. So if I'm going to use a guider, why spend so much money on a mount when a 10Micron is performing at the same level with an autoguider... So back to the drawingboard

You know the old saying about a bird in and being worth two in the bush. In this case, I'd be surprised if it ever crossed your mind to look back.

The suspensions of four players in the NFL's bounty investigation have been lifted by a three member appeals panel. The league reinstated those players a few minutes after Friday's ruling.
The panel said Commissioner Roger Goodell did not have jurisdiction to hear the players' appeals of their punishment for their roles in the New Orleans Saints bounty program that paid cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents.
While the ruling allows Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, Saints defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargbrove to play immediately, it does not permanently void their suspensions.

k thats what i heard but nice to hear it confirmed. thanks
ASAT is my favorite. I was sold on this pattern after a squirrel tried to climb my leg. The squirrel was running away from an angry bull elk destroying stumps and trees. Needless to say the bull caught my scent and ran off. However, I think about all the record book elk and deer that were killed by plaid shirts and blue jeans, you really don't need camo. As long as you clothes are somewhat scentless and you do not use color enhancing detergent you should be fine. Movement, your silhouette, bare skin, and scent will scare the animals away. I guess one of the main reason I wear camo is because of the material that my pants and jacket are made out of. Camo pattern still helps out in my opinion.
I like to use Natural gear. I seem to always find it on sale. It seems to work fine for me. I don't think camo is that important for deer but I use it turkey hunting too.
does anyone have just 1 color/pattern?
I feel like it's an evolution... which has currently brought me to predator/break up style camo patterns, which make more sense to me than other styles.
I don't believe deer/elk have the detailed sight to pick out a brown leaf pattern on a darker brown background etc... where as like the tiger stripes.... it breaks them up... and makes more sense to me currently.
turkey's would be a different thing... as all birds tend to have great color eyesight.
On the left is what we see. In the middle is what deer see when you have UV brighteners in your clothes. On the right is what deer see without brighteners.
im going to start hunting naked or in a loin cloth

NEPTUNE (THE ASBURY PARK PRESS) -- A Howell man who trained his dogs to work in films and on the popular NBC TV series "30 Rock'' pleaded guilty Thursday to animal cruelty charges after a pair of his star Rottweilers died inside his vehicle while he dined at a Route 66 eatery, according to animal protection advocates.
Charles Loguidice, 48, pleaded guilty to two counts of animal cruelty in front of Municipal Court Judge Robin Wernek and was fined $2,000 after admitting he left a pair of his male Rottweilers inside his car back in August while he ate at MJ's Pizza Bar & Grill on Route 66, explained Victor "Buddy" Amato, chief law enforcement officer for the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"He decided to go into the restaurant and have a meal," said Amato at the time of the Aug. 26 incident. An hour later, "he came out to the car and both dogs were dead."
The two male dogs, Maximus and Joey, each weighing more than 100 pounds, died after temperatures inside the car reached more than 100 degrees, Amato said.
Loguidice told Amato during the course of an investigation, he left the car running and the air conditioner turned on for the dogs, but the dogs apparently jumped on the buttons, turning the vehicle's defroster on instead.
Part of the plea agreement between Loguidice and prosecutors allows Loguidice to retain ownership of his remaining dogs, the number of which is uncertain.
Loguidice's dogs have appeared on TV, film and have been featured in a video game including Lions Gate's horror film "Torture Chamber," AMC's "Rubicon," FX's "Lights Out" and Three Dogs Film's "God Don't Make the Laws."
Loguidice could not be reached for comment.

PHOTOS: Twitter, Facebook and other social media photos of Trayvon Martin
Sanford, FL -- There have been some major developments in the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case.
After months of speculation, it appears the defense is not planning to use the Stand Your Ground defense, or spring it on jurors during the course of a trial.
That, and several other pre-trial issues are being discussed on Tuesday.
Zimmerman, wearing a dark suit and yellow tie, had clearly put on some weight since his last public appearance.
His attorneys made motions about enhanced 911 recordings, witness lists, and access to a sealed civil settlement between the Martin family and the HOA which Zimmerman was working for at the time of the shooting.
These are the kinds of issues that need to be clarified with just six weeks to go before Zimmerman's criminal trial.
Zimmerman is accused of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year as the two struggled over a gun.
There had been long speculation and debate over whether Zimmerman would try to use the Stand Your Ground defense during his trial. But the deadline for a hearing on that line of defense came and went on April 26.
There was speculation Zimmerman's defense team would try to introduce the defense during trial. Judge Debra Nelson had set aside two weeks to decide the issue before the case would go before a jury.
Prosecutors were also concerned that Zimmerman would try to argue grounds for appeal if he were to be convicted, had his defense team not at least attempted to argue the Stand Your Ground issue.
So on Tuesday morning, Judge Nelson asked Zimmerman directly about waiving his right to that hearing.
"And you're also aware that no such motion has been filed, is that correct?" she aksed.
"Yes," replied Zimmerman.
"And that matter was discussed with you also. Do you consent with counsel's decision to not file a pre-trial immunity motion?"
"Yes," he said again.
"And do you consent to counsel's not requesting a pretrial immunity hearing?"
"Yes your honor," said Zimmerman.
"Is it your decision not file a pre-trial immunity motion?"
Again, Zimmerman's answer was "Yes, your honor."
Zimmerman's lawyer, Mark O'Mara said it's possible they could still try to introduce the issue during trial, but that the strategy is to approach the jury with a more-typical self-defense case.
In other important developments, Zimmerman's defense team will be allowed to add five witnesses to their witness list even at this late hour, but the judge also said prosecutors must be allowed time to depose those witnesses and add rebuttal witnesses if needed.
The judge also decided there is no mysterious enhanced 911 audio tape (of which there's been great conjecture) with Trayvon's voice on it.
Judge Nelson also decided to unseal a redacted version of the civil settlement between the Martin family and the Homeowner's Association for which Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch captain. But whether any information gleaned from that will be admissible would be decided at trial, she said.
A Martin family representative called insinuations that Trayvon's parents "profited' from the settlement "offensive" and that any parent would prefer to have their child over a financial award.
Lawyers for the fmaily say they're glad Nelson appears to moving the case forward toward a June 10th trial date, and called the hearing today a victory for those who felt the case should go to trial.
There were also a handful of motions made by Zimmerman's defense team, accusing prosecutors of misconduct in the case. They accuse them of hiding information during the discovery process or purposely dragging their feet.
The key issue of the day, however, was Zimmerman, in his own voice, stating that he understands what the Stand Your Ground defense is, and that he agreed with his counsel's decision not to use it as part of his defense preemptively.
Court-watchers say Zimmerman's defense team was willing to let the opportunity pass, because it might have meant revealing too much of their defense strategy in court ahead of a jury trial if the pre-trial motion had been denied.
O'Mara told reporters he estimates it will take to to three weeks to seat a jury in the case, and another two to three weeks more for trial.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia is expected to post modest job growth over the next few years, according to the latest forecast from the West Virginia University College of Business and Economics released today at the 19th annual West Virginia Economic Outlook Conference in Charleston.
"Uncertainty in the global and national economies will have an effect on West Virginia's growth. We expect a continued, but slow recovery from the effects of the job losses during the 2008 recession," said Paul Speaker, spokesperson for the Bureau of Business and Economic Research in the College.
West Virginia lost 23,000 jobs from the third quarter of 2008 to the fourth quarter of 2009. During the following six quarters, the state added back more than half the jobs lost during the downturn.
"Overall, the state is likely to continue to expand during the next five years, mirroring the national economy with slightly lower average annual improvements," Speaker said. "The forecast calls for West Virginia's job growth to average 1.2 percent per year through 2017, which is slightly less than the expected national rate of job growth."
Job growth in natural resources and mining slowed and reversed direction in 2012 and is expected to continue a slow decline during the next five years. This reflects contrasting trends in coal mining and oil and gas extraction. Positive annual growth is expected in several other sectors including construction, professional business services, education and health care. Job gains in health care are related to the aging of the state's residents. Jobs in professional and business services expand as state and national growth raises demand for business services like accounting, legal, management, computing and call center services. The trade, transportation and utilities sector will add jobs during the next five years, with growth expected to be strongest in the near term.
Another bright spot for the state's economy is the construction of the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve and the associated opportunities in construction and hospitality/tourism. This 10,600-acre plot in Fayette and Raleigh counties is under construction for the 2013 National Boy Scout Jamboree, which is expected to draw about 40,000 members of the Boy Scouts of America and 75,000 more tourists. Even larger numbers are expected for the World Scout Jamboree that will take place in 2019.
"Sustained job growth during the forecast translates into a gradually declining state unemployment rate during the next five years," said Speaker. "The forecast calls for the West Virginia unemployment rate to fall to 5.7 percent by the end of 2017."
Continued, but slow, job growth during the forecast translates into inflation-adjusted income growth. The forecast calls for West Virginia real per capita income growth to average 2.2 percent per year during the next five years. That is faster than growth during the past five years but is below the expected growth nationally.

I'm not easily annoyed. Easily entertained, easily amused and, from time to time, easily fooled, yes. But I found myself annoyed at a recent conference. Annoyed by a speaker saying he was annoyed by … millennials.
His barb drew a few yuks from those in attendance. I also noticed that one of the 10 or so Gen Yers in the audience shifted uncomfortably in her chair after the zing was launched.
Part of the presenter's broader point was that millennials on average will stay at a job 2.3 years.
Now, perhaps Gen Y is used to this type of sarcastic remark from their elders. It merely left me annoyed and thinking that, more so than any generation, those people born in the 1980s and early '90s have been poked, prodded and analyzed like a lab rat in a maze. "That one is running by himself toward the open end. Must mean that he's lacking the collaboration gene of his peers working together to gnaw their way out of the cage."
You've heard it before: Millennials are self-entitled, lack any discernible attention span and seek instant gratification. While there's a grain of truth there, I find some very admirable traits, too. These guys offer enthusiasm and hope.
The previous night, I was walking home with my millennial-age daughter after a nice dinner with friends. She was about to start a new job in a new city. And the excitement in her voice, the anticipation of a new opportunity, was absolutely palpable.
"I think I'm really going to like working there," she told me. "I'm really excited to start. I think I can grow with them, get involved in management and maybe get into the corporate side."
Even before starting, she has goals and dreams and, yes, hope — hope that she's going to spend well beyond the 2.3 years with an organization she is joining.
So when the "annoying" barb was launched the next morning — by a college professor mind you — it left me thinking how absolutely oblivious (or perhaps just insensitive; I'd be shouted out of the room if I called his generation doddering old fools) he is about our new generation of workers.
Rather than looking at millennials as the problem, or kvetching over how to make them happy and content, we should look at ourselves instead. At our attitude. At our willingness to work with people who are younger than those of us over 40.
Do you find millennials annoying? Check the mirror, pal. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's your department or your organization as a whole. And maybe it's your company's culture.
Now before you take your lunch hour to run down to Costco to buy a foosball table and a craft beer-making kit to appease your Gen Yers, take a stroll through your organization first.
Are people talking with each other? If so, is the chatter limited to performance goals and recruiting budgets? Or is there banter about last night's Bulls-Heat basketball game? Or someone's new winter coat? Or just how darned cute William and Kate's baby looks? Or at least some combination of work and leisure?
Is there any sense of individuality among your staff? Do they have posters on their walls? Are you fostering that sense of being an individual? Or is it, fall in line, get with the program? That, to me, sounds incredibly annoying. And boring. Take your pick.
Kids, take heed: You are the subject of generational profiling. In fact, you could very well be stereotyped by your boss before you even fill out your I-9. Before you dig your first ditch, make your first sales call or take your first order, your boss may have the preconceived notion that you are annoying.
I work alongside a number of Gen Y-age people. Like my daughter, they are all incredibly hard-working, dedicated, loyal people who happen to be way younger than I.
They don't ask any special privileges. I've never gotten this sense of self-entitlement that seems to be part of their dossier. And they are no more or less annoying than any of my boomer or Xer colleagues.
If you want your young employees to last past 2.3 years, don't treat them as some kind of annoyance. They're colleagues and co-workers who can just as easily make you look like a genius as any mid-40s worker. Most importantly, they're your employees. Treat them like one.
Look, I'm not the defender of some voiceless cohort. They're grown-ups who are completely capable of sticking up for themselves.
But do you seriously expect a 26-year-old employee to stay with the organization for the next 25 years? How old were you when you jumped to that second job? Fact is, they're looking for that next piece of the experience puzzle, just like you did.
So next time you pull the annoyance card on your millennial employees, remember this: You might be the one who's annoying.

Swirl Flow Around a Rotating Disk
Application ID: 616
Swirl flow is an application that involves steady rotational flow around an axis. Rather than modeling this process in 3D, COMSOL Multiphysics provides a 2D axisymmetric interface where the flow in the rotational direction is still included in the equations.
This example shows the effect of a rotating cylinder on the flow in a container. Such applications are often used in chemical kinetic experimental devices known as rotating disk electrodes.

Roseville's NASCAR race has an international flavor
NASCAR's latest October stop at All American Speedway will produce its biggest field of entries for a K&N Pro Series West event — and its most diverse field ever.
An All American and short track-record 31 drivers on Saturday will attempt to qualify for the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150, the second-to-last Pro Series West race on the 2012 calendar.
Among those 31 are three Canadians and two Europeans, three of whom will drive for Bill McAnally Racing of Roseville.
"He has the international team," quipped Don Langford, media director for BMR.
Joining three-time series champion Eric Holmes of Escalon and Canadian teenager and Rookie of Year contender Cameron Hayley on McAnally's roster are Markus Niemelä of Finland and Jamie Krzysik of Grand Prairie, Canada.
Niemelä will drive the No. 90 Angry Birds Toyota Camry. He was Finland's junior karting champion at age 5 in 1998 and has raced all over Europe. Niemelä came to the United States in 2008 and won the open-wheel Atlantic Championship Series. He finished third in points in the West Coast Sprint Car Series.
"Markus actually called me," McAnally said Wednesday. "He'd been racing open wheel and wanted to get some development in stock cars. We tested him a few times, and we really liked his ability, his communication."
Niemelä will drive in tonight's Late Model race and will make his Pro Series West debut Saturday.
This also will be the Pro Series West debut for Krzysik, who's in NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program. He'll shoe the No. 16 Oculus Transport Toyota Camry.
While there's no deluge of teenage leadfoots this time around — last year's event counted eight teens in qualifying — Hannah Newhouse, 15, of Twin Falls, Idaho, has joined the show and is coming off a sixth-place finish in her series debut in Albuquerque.
Defending series champion Greg Pursley of Newhall leads the title chase again. Teenager Dylan Kwasniewski of Las Vegas trails Pursley by 14 points with Derek Thorn of Lakeport 37 points down and Holmes in fourth.
The weekend program begins today with a 100-lap Late Model main event and 50-lap Modified feature. More than 30 Late Model cars are registered for tonight's race.
"I'm thinking they appreciate being part of a big event. They like racing in front of a big crowd. They get into it," McAnally said of the car count. "And we work hard. The people of Roseville, the surrounding areas, really embrace this race."

Tools You Can Build at HomeWritten by Jeff Smith on March 2, 2006 Cool Tools and Simple Stuff You Can Build
The art of car crafting can be traced all the way back to those earlyenthusiasts who weren't afraid to dive right in and build what theycouldn't buy. Today, there seems to be a kit for just about any projectyou can contemplate, but there's still a place for those hardy soulswilling to build stuff cheaper themselves.
Fabricating usually entails fusing metal. In the old days, that meantusing an AC stick welder. The problem with stick welders is that they'realmost impossible to use for joining thin sheetmetal. About 20 yearsago, the welding companies hit upon the idea of building affordable MIGwelders that run on common 120-volt house current for thedo-it-yourselfer.
The term "MIG" is an acronym for "metal inert gas" welding whereelectrical current is fed down a thin, flexible wire instead of a large-diameter stick. All quality welding requires a process that will purgeambient air from around the weld puddle to create an environmentconducive to good penetration and prevent inclusions, which are holes orvoids in the weld. Stick welders use a flux material that melts,creating a protective covering over the molten puddle of metal until itcools. Once cooled, the flux can then be chipped away to reveal the weldfor inspection.
MIG welding replaces the flux material with an inert gas (either carbondioxide or a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide) that is introducedaround the weld puddle during the welding process. MIG welders use aflexible sleeve to direct the metal wire onto the welding surface. Thegas is transported between the inner and outer sleeves and introducedaround the work surface. This means that a typical MIG welder must alsohave a separate high-pressure gas bottle and regulator. Budget versionsof basic MIG welders use a flux-core wire that eliminates the need forthe high-pressure tank, but these require cleaning the flux from theweld once the weld cools much like a stick welder.
The key to any home-welding project is to create sufficient weldpenetration to ensure that the two pieces being fused are permanentlyjoined. A good weld will result in significant heat penetration intoboth pieces of metal. This heat creates a bond that is strong enoughthat the welded portion is as strong, if not stronger, than the parentmetal.
The best way to learn basic welding technique is to sign up for an adultextension class at your local school if one is offered. At the veryleast, we'd recommend significant practice before attempting to buildany tool or component that could be dangerous if the weld failed. Sooutsource those major chassis modifications until you become proficientwith your welder. But that said, don't shy away from replacing thoserusted trunk floorpans just because the job looks too difficult. That isone of the first tasks we took on with our first home MIG welder, and intwo weekends of methodical work, we had a completed job that was veryrewarding.
We recently had a chance to experiment with a new Craftsman home shop120-volt MIG welder. The welder offers enough power to weld up to3/16-inch plate and even thicker metals with multiple passes. Ratherthan just play around with it, we decided to dive into a couple ofspecialty tool projects for our shop that we could actually use. Wecranked out an engine perch for a small-block Chevy out of one 10-footlength of 1-inch square tubing. We also duplicated a simple engine liftplate out of 1/4-inch-thick square plate. Finally, we made a locking barfor our next 12-bolt rearend buildup using another 5-foot length of1-inch square tubing along with a small chunk of steel plate that'sdrilled for the pinion flange.
MIG welding can be a lot of fun, and it won't take you long to come upwith all kinds of ideas for projects, tools, and widgets you can create.Craftsman tells us that you can even convert this welder to MIG-weldaluminum with proper changes to polarity and a different shielding gas.We haven't tried that yet, but this just adds to this little welder'sversatility.

The unit we chose to do our homespun welding is this Craftsman 120-voltMIG welder. The welder comes with it's own portable cart and is ready touse as a no-gas welder using a flux-core wire.To make this unit work as a complete gas MIG welder, which is the bestway to go, we added a shielding gas kit and a bottle containing amixture of carbon dioxide and argon that we bought from our local Airgaswelding supply house.One of the slickest ideas that has come through the welding industry isthe auto-darkening helmet. These helmets allow you to see your work withthe helmet down, but the glass instantly darkens when the arc strikes.At first they were very expensive, but now you can get one of thesehelmets from Craftsman for $100.The key to making any welding job easier is to properly configure thewelder for each task. There are two controls on the front; one is thevoltage setting and the other is the wire-speed control. Higher voltagesand a faster wire speed are for thicker metals.We also bought one of these new Craftsman Twin Cutters. This baby blaststhrough steel like it was wood. We used it for trimming 1/4-inch plate,and with its counter-rotating carbide-tipped blades, it performed thecut in a matter of seconds! The Twin Cutter slices through steel,aluminum, plastic, copper, wood, and just about anything else you canthink to cut, and it creates a smooth finish when the cut is completed.It shoots some serious hot sparks, but this cutter is amazingly fast.For our first welding job, we chose something simple. To set up a GM 10-or 12-bolt rearend, we needed something to hold the pinion flange whiletightening the pinion nut. So we drilled holes in this flat 1/8-inchplate to match the four small holes in the pinion flange and a largehole in the center for the pinion-nut socket. Then we welded this plateto a 5-foot length of 1-inch square tubing. Now we have a solid lever tohold the pinion when torquing the pinion nut.For our engine perch, we started with a 10-foot length of 1-inch squaretubing and cut four lengths to create the base that measures 16x24inches as shown. We squared the corners by duplicating the diagonaldistances inside the rectangle and tacked it together.
After tacking the whole stand together and rechecking that it all boltsup, we welded one edge at a time, moving around the perch to preventheat buildup that could cause it to warp. When we were all done, we shotsome black paint to prevent rust and it was ready to use. This perchwill bolt up to big-block Chevys as well.Our pal Tim Moore built this perch with wheels for his small-block Fordalso using 1-inch square tubing and surplus casters.Here's the schematic for the Chevy engine perch design. The specs shouldbe self explanatory. Note that the front and rear cross bars for thebase are placed on the ends of the 22-inch long base legs. This perchwill mount either a small-block or big-block Chevy. If you have anengine with a deep-sump pan, you might consider increasing the height ofthe four legs to create more room.

Correct Answer for 3:1 Lighting Ratio
Hi Gang,
In preparing for our test next week, we have noticed that there are different answers in regards to a 3:1 light ratio.
The London book states that a 3:1 ratio is a difference of 1.5 stops.
But, I have found other sources (my lighting class at CPW and other lectures attended this year) that state a 3:1 ratio is a one stop difference.
Can someone clear this up for me. Why are there two answers and which is the correct one for the sake of the PPA Certification test?

You are correct that there are multiple definitions of 3:1. I personally do not agree with the definition of the PPA but hey, it is a label...that's it. The key is to know the meaning behind the label.
The definition that PPA uses is that 3:1 has a 1 stop difference when dealing with strobes or hot-lights. 1 light unit hitting the entire face as fill and then twice as much light (1 stop more) hitting one side.
Now, when dealing with reflectors, PPA's definition of 3:1 includes a two stop difference. The "proper way" to measure that ratio is to meter off the reflector.
Personally, I feel this is just confusing.Mark Leonard

3:1 ratio example - fill on subject meters at F5.6 with main flash turned off and main meters at f8 with fill flash turned off for one stop difference. Been a long time since I took the exam so I can't guarentee this answer but if it's wrong my ratios have been off for twenty years. Which could very well be.
09-06-2006, 07:24 PM #4Originally Posted by mlphoto
Anyone know why their are different answers.
I'm not sure there. I do know that if you have a unti of 5.6 hitting both sides of the face, and one unit of (2x5.6=8) hitting one side then that is 3:1, with 3 units on one side and only 1 on the other. However when you meter that with a meter (incident) pointed at the camera from subject you get 8.3 to 8.5 total exposure. Maybe that is where the extra 1/2 stop is coming from.
Now what to answer on the test....

If that is what the certification sample test says, then, yeah...I would go with it.
The different answers arise due to differing opinions on a variety of subjects:
1) Do you add up all the light units hitting the subject or do you only count the light units coming out of/off from the light source (light or reflector)
2) Is your fill light positioned near the camera?
3) yada, yada, yada.
Personally, I only count the light coming out of the light source. I also notate the amount as follows:
So, I can have a 4:1:1:0:3 ratio. It helps me remember how I set lights weeks or months later.
But, that is just how I do it.Mark Leonard

here is a way to look at it
1 ..2.. 4.. 8.. 16.. 32.. 64.......
each number doubles these number are your ratios
1:1 ... 1:2 ...1:4 ...1:8 etc
so let put this to an fstop
a 1:1 is f11/f11
1:2 is f11/f8
1:4 is f11/f5.6
now lets add 1/2 stops
go back to the ratio chart
1 ..2 ..4 ok
here is how it will look
the * number is the 1/2stop ratio
so a 1:3 ratio is 1 and 1 1/2
or F11/F 6.7
does that help

Seems like a very tricky question depending on the way it is worded. The answer of 1.5 would be missleading if it were phrased as (Where do you set your power) as opposed to (what does your meter read). Now if it is phrased as what is the difference between the meter reading of the brightest highlight and the meter reading of the shadows for a 3:1 ratio I guess 1.5 stops would make sense. This would be handy to remember in available light.
Last edited by David_A._Lottes; 09-06-2006 at 08:38 PM.
The reason it becomes 1.5 stops is because you have to take into account the amount of light from the main light that "spills" onto the fill light area. Although your mainlight is 8 and your fill is 5.6, there is about 1/2 stop added to your fill source thus reducing the light differential to 1.5.

If your business depends on you, you don't own a business-you have a job. And it's the worst job in the world because you're working for a lunatic... You can't close it when you want to, because if it's closed you don't get paid. You can't leave it when you want to, because if you leave there's nobody there to do the work. You can't sell it when you want to, because who wants to buy a job?http://www.meritageonmain.blogspot.com

Oh MAN am I getting mixed up. I thought it was the FILL light bumping my main up from 8 to 8.5 thus INCREASING the differential from 1 to 1.5 stops.
I'm going to leave this to smarter people. Sorry if I've confused you Deb. If you ever work for me and I ask you for a 3:1 ratio just remember to meter the lights seperately and put the main light at a 45 degree angle from and metering one stop brighter than the fill and I'll be happy.

ATLANTA -- He survived a plane crash, then 47 days on a raft in the pacific being attacked by Japanese pilots and hungry sharks-with no fresh water and a chocolate bar for food. At the end of that ordeal, Louis Zamperini was captured and tortured as a prisoner of war. Again, he survived, only to fight Post Traumatic Stress Disorder when he returned home years after being declared dead.
"I mean if it were fiction, you wouldn't believe it," said Zamperini's son Luke. "It's just a remarkable story and people gravitate to it."
Hundreds came to hear Zamperini speak at Peachtree Presbyterian in Buckhead Sunday. The Californian spoke of persevering through his ordeals and being saved by Billy Graham himself. Because of his newfound Christianity, he said his PTSD was cured, and he returned back to Japan and forgave his torturers.
"And I looked at that and said that's the most Christian message you could possibly provide," said Peachtree Presbyterian pastor Vic Pentz.
Zamperini's story became the subject of the bestselling book "Unbroken," and a major studio has signed on to direct the movie version. Zamperini partly credits his athletic training with giving him the burning desire to survive.
"Your mind is set on one thing, to win, to win. I think that's important in a survivor's life. Because a lot of people give up," Zamperini said.
He was a hero long before he even went to war. As a track star, he broke world records in high school and made it to the 1936 Olympics. His final lap in the 5000 was the fastest ever clocked at that time, and many expected him to be the first to break the five minute mile mark in 1940. Instead, Hitler invaded Europe, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the next two Olympics were called off.
By the time Zamperini was ready to try again, his abuse as a POW had destroyed his calf muscle. His career was over. He went on to carry the Olympic torch and talk about his experiences all over the world.
When asked about modern athletes and so many performance enhancing drug scandals, Zamperini said sports had been corrupted by money.
"After I broke a world record in high school, they couldn't find me," Zamperini said of reporters at the event. "'Where's Louis? Well he went and took a shower.' Today [the athlete] would be out parading, bowing every 50 feet, you see it all the time."

Exactly....there are simply too many variables.
DTV could easily do this. MLB does it filtering on IP address and they have to do it on a daily basis. The mobile IP filtering doesn't work real well though.
The only way to assure compliance to NFL blackout rules is to be absolute in enforcement. I suspect the DirecTV agreement with the NFL for Sunday Ticket requires it.
So it comes down to home location (only), anything goes (which violates NFL requirements), or something else in between (which is highly complex and costly to enforce).
Like an earlier poster indicated, the safe road was traveled for this mandate.
It would seem to be more worthwhile challenging the actual rules themselves in contrast to those who look to comply with them.

text: John Lewis £150m store loss 'outrageous' 01 Feb 2013 First Minister Peter Robinson has hit out at Environment Minister Alex Attwood for making a decision which he says led John Lewis to drop plans for a £150m store at Sprucefield near Lisburn in Co Antrim. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The company confirmed on Friday that their application for the site had been withdrawn, after Mr Attwood restricted the scale of the scheme.He announced earlier this month that the development would have to be limited to stores selling "bulky goods". Describing the situation as "preposterous", Mr Robinson said he is concerned that John Lewis will now set up in Dublin instead."I just cannot understand why the decision was taken that ensured that John Lewis would be forced to move," the DUP leader told UTV."It's outrageous, in terms of the needs we have here and the fact that the Executive has, as its main plank in its plan for government, the growth of our economy."While there will be people who are glad that they don't have to compete, they don't have to go out there and fight for their customers, there will be many customers out there who wanted the opportunity of having an additional choice to make and at the end of the day, it is 1,500 jobs lost, £150m of investment lost, and it means some of our shoppers will go elsewhere."The SDLP minister has defended his decision.Mr Attwood said: "The responsibility is to protect existing retail and its thousands of jobs as other retail opportunities emerge.Clearly, I want to see other retailers come to Northern Ireland. But in doing so, I have to acknowledge the impact of retail proposals on Belfast and on other towns in the Greater Belfast area.Alex Attwood"The information and evidence provided by my Department to the Sprucefield Planning Inquiry put Belfast First in line with the Executives own Regional Development Strategy 2035 and current planning policy. This information was not provided arbitrarily."The information was shaped by agreed strategy and policy, which makes clear that in putting Belfast First, there should be precaution adopted in relation to other retail proposals."The initial application for the 500,000 sq ft site was submitted nine years ago.It included a joint venture between the Australian property firm of Westfield and a local developer, Snoddons.Those opposed to it said it could devastate town centres, with some calling for it to be moved to Belfast, while backers claimed it would create potentially over 1,000 jobs, particularly at a time when business leaders believe there is little other investment on the horizon.John Lewis says it has looked at its options but insists that Sprucefield is the only suitable location for new department store in Northern Ireland.The planning application was due to be considered by the Planning Appeals Commission (PAC), however the companies behind it - known as The Sprucefield Centre Limited - said that they cannot proceed following the minister's announcement.A statement said: "This decision follows the Minister for the Environment's recent announcement that he intends to change the current policy and now confine further development at Sprucefield to bulky goods only, therefore excluding the new John Lewis department store."With the deadline looming to submit evidence to the Planning Appeals Commission, The Sprucefield Centre Limited and John Lewis have been forced to accept that the uncertainty over BMAP planning policy means they cannot proceed to Inquiry at this time."John Lewis has reiterated its continued interest in opening a new department store at Sprucefield.John LewisLisburn Mayor William Leathem said the move is a blow for the area."I am very annoyed and bitterly disappointed," the DUP man said."I would liken Minister Attwood's decision to playground tactics. If Belfast can't have it nowhere is going to have it. So the way things look Dublin is going to benefit from Minister Attwood's decision, taking all the investment, construction and retail jobs and of course shoppers away from Northern Ireland. Ludicrous does not cover it."Local business leaders have urged the company to look at a new town or city centre location."We have always strongly supported John Lewis locating a store in a town or city centre site as opposed to an unsustainable out of town location," said Glyn Roberts from the NI Independent Retail Trade Association."Northern Ireland has not only the highest town centre shop vacancy rate in the UK, but twice the national average of nearly 1 in 4 shops empty"An out of town John Lewis would have accelerated that decline further."University of Ulster retail analyst Donald McFetridge said what has happened is a "retail travesty".He continued: "The news that John Lewis is withdrawing their application for a store at Sprucefield is dreadful news for the economy in Northern Ireland and for NI consumers."It appears to me that Minister Attwood has got it all terribly wrong. This is not just a disaster in terms of the JLP store but also in terms of the signals it's sending out to other potential investors at a time when our economy needs more jobs and more inward investment."UUP Environment spokesperson Tom Elliott described the outcome was a "shambles" and a "major blow for the Northern Ireland economy".People will be astonished at the inability to deliver an estimated £150m injection into our economy, alongside a proposed 1,500 retail jobs.Tom Elliott, UUP MLAHe said Mr Attwood's decision was the "latest unhelpful contribution" over a nine-year planning "fiasco"."The chaos continues unabated with the First Minister and his colleague Jeffrey Donaldson MP telling us that the Executive can overrule Minister Attwood's decision, while the Environment Minister maintains that he has the final say on the matter," the Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA said."It is therefore unsurprising that John Lewis have been left frustrated at the never-ending stream of confusing signals being sent out by one Planning Minister after another."Not only has Northern Ireland's planning system been shown to be not 'fit for purpose', it seems glaringly obvious to me that a succession of Planning Ministers have also been shown to be not 'fit for purpose'."Sinn Féin urged John Lewis to continue making their case."I am disappointed at the decision by John Lewis to withdraw this particular planning application," said Phil Flanagan MLA, vice chair of the Enterprise Committee."There is certainly the debate surrounding the need to get the balance right between town centres and out of town developments such as this but the crucial test remains addressing issues such as maximising job creation, tackling disadvantage, infrastructural development and promoting equality."The overall decision making process has not been completed. All these considerations need to be factored into the remaining deliberations on this issue."Peter Robinson insisting the John Lewis application is a matter for the entire Executive and not for a single Minister.

1969 Dodge Dart GTS - Hidden TreasuresWritten by on January 24, 2014 Contributors: Michael Swartz This Dart Puts The Sport In GT Sport
The Dodge Dart has been around a long time, and although the Dart is commonly thought of as an economy car built for the budget-minded consumer, Dodge did make several performance versions of this vehicle. During the late sixties, Dodge engineers and corporate executives made the decision to not only make performance versions of the Dart, but to build them in a way that made many muscle car owners wonder what the heck just happened when one of these cars left them sitting from a stoplight. And while the 426-Hemi equipped Hurst built Super Stock Darts were limited to racers, other Darts, like the Dart GTS and Swinger models, were available with high-performance big-blocks and sold to the public through Chrysler's dealer network.
1969 was likely the best year for the Dart in terms of performance, as buyers could get the car with any engine from an economical Slant Six, to a well-mannered 340 small-block, or even a 440 HP big-block. Growing up with two brothers who were into Mopars, Michael Swartz became accustomed to the performance of the brand. In fact, Michael's brother, Steve, owned a Dart GTS powered by a 383, which really got him interested in big-block Darts. Unfortunately, that car also got his brother into a lot of trouble, and was sold many years ago.
Michael tried to track down that Dart, finding and contacting a previous owner who had the car as recently as ten years ago, but all of his leads had fallen through. Since Steve admits that the '69 Dart GTS is one of his favorite Mopars, he was always on the lookout for one. Searching the Internet one day, Michael saw a recently listed ad for a factory 440-equipped '69 Dart, and he quickly responded through e mail. Before long, Michael was speaking with the owner of the car, who described it and agreed to send him some pictures. Seeing the car, Michael enlisted his buddy Eric to make a weekend trip from Pennsylvania, to Texas, to check the car out.
Finding the car as-described in an old pole building, the current owner told Michael that the car was allegedly owned by a popular Midwestern drag racer who used it for street racing. The '69 Dart GTS has several period correct modifications, including an older Holley four-barrel, fender-well headers, and vintage Sun gauges. The battery has been relocated to the trunk, a drive shaft loop installed, and the oil pan modified to accommodate a higher capacity. Otherwise, this Dart was a very clean example of a factory 440 GTS, and the engine and transmission are both original. After a little haggling about the asking price, Michael made a deal and the Dart began its road trip back to Pennsylvania, on a trailer.
Upon arriving back in Red Lion, and closely inspecting his new find, Michael verified that the 40,000 miles showing on the car's odometer were actual miles. Even better, the engine and transmission are numbers matching units, and the car is in exceptional original condition. The trunk even still has the original spare tire installed, and the build sheet was found in excellent condition. Michael and his wife Shannon plan to drive and show the car as-is for a while, but then restore the car to the way it rolled from the assembly line. We love the in its "day two" trim, and think that either as-is or restored this Dart is a great piece of Mopar history. We thank Michael and Shannon for sharing their find with our readers.

Engine: The part of this car that makes it really unique is the 440 big-block in the engine bay. Big-block A-Bodies have a great power-to-weight ratio, and could put a hurting on midsize muscle cars of the period. Note the period-correct modifications including the Super Coil, fender-well headers, and aftermarket induction.Interior: Inside, the Dart is largely unmolested, save the stick-on silver "machine-turned" decals on the console. A previous owner also added a Sun oil-pressure gauge under the steering column, and a fuel pressure gauge on the cowl.Little wear: The body of this Dart is amazingly straight and rust-free, showing minimal wear for its age. With just over 40,000 miles on the odometer, this car was likely not used as a daily driver.Trunk: Relocating the battery to the trunk was a common modification to race and street cars back in the day, and is still done. We'd say this Dart exhibits all of the signs of a street racer or weekend track car, and the spare tire may have been left in place all this time to help weight distribution.

Ford Motor Co. plans to hire 2,200 salaried workers this year in the United States as it continues to beef up payrolls to handle rising sales and production in North America.
The hiring surge is the largest increase in salaried workers in more than a decade, the company said in a statement today.
Some hiring will occur in product development, manufacturing and information technology.
In 2012, Ford added 8,100 hourly and salaried jobs as it boosted production capacity and expanded engineering, manufacturing and other areas.
Ford declined to disclose its current U.S. salaried headcount, but said it ended 2012 with 28,000 white-collar employees in North America, with most of them in the United States.
Ford's North American salaried payrolls hit a recent low of 25,000 workers in 2009.
At the end of 2006, Ford's North American salaried workforce stood at 38,600.
Ford produced about 2.7 million vehicles in North America last year, a 4 percent increase over 2011, according to the Automotive News Data Center. The automaker's 2012 U.S. sales rose 5 percent to 2.24 million vehicles.
Ford said it is more than halfway to hiring 12,000 U.S. hourly workers by 2015—a commitment made in its 2011 contract with the UAW.
To recruit employees, Ford will expand its use of social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin to draw "new, technology-savvy workers," the company said.
Ford also will recruit military veterans more aggressively.
Those who "like" the Ford Careers Facebook page and follow Ford Careers on Twitter will get regular updates about job opportunities, the company said.
All salaried job openings at Ford are posted on the Ford Careers Web site, careers.ford.com.
"As we expand our product lineup of fuel-efficient vehicles, we need more people in critical areas -- such as in a range of engineering activities, vehicle production, computer software and other IT functions -- to ensure we deliver the vehicles people want and value," Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, said in a statement.
In late December, Ford said it would spend $773 million on equipment and capacity expansions at six plants in southeast Michigan.
Those investments will create 2,350 hourly jobs and allow Ford to keep an additional 3,240 hourly jobs, the company said.

Promising start for young Sailors
1 2 Next page >
After serving as an assistant wrestling coach at Oceanside for two seasons, Steve Candela has taken over the helm of an up-and-coming program headed by his son Rocco, a two-time All-County winner with aspirations of competing at the next level.
"I've been very encouraged by everyone's progress in the first month," coach Candela said. "We've got a large roster and are rebuilding with a lot of strong, young wrestlers."
While the bulk of the lineup is comprised of sophomores and freshmen, the Sailors have four seniors to lead the way: Rocco Candela, Zach Stranberg, Andrew Mercadante and Andrew Rullo.
More big things are expected of Candela, who placed second in Nassau as a 96-pound sophomore and fourth in the county last season at 106. As a senior he's competing at 113 pounds, and he broke out of the gate quickly with a second-place finish in the Bruins Cup Tournament in Baldwin and a victory in the Ralph Jansson Tournament hosted by Valley Stream North. He is ranked second in the weight class behind Long Beach's Steven Sewkumar. "Rocco's got a lot of weapons and the heart of a lion," the coach said. "He's very strong on his feet, and nobody can ride him out. He's taken on a leadership role as well. He's helping the younger guys along."
The coach expects Stranberg and Mercadante to quality for the county tournament. Stranberg earned convincing victories in dual meet matches against Valley Stream Central and Chaminade, while Mercadante placed in both the Baldwin (fifth) and Valley Stream North (fourth) tournaments. "Andrew's our best upper weight," coach Candela said. "He's off to a good start."
Rullo, who backs up talented sophomore Jarron Koretz at 132, brings a great work ethic to the room and someone the coach won't hesitate to use in a match. Koretz, meanwhile, was a county qualifier as a freshman thanks to a combination of strength and aggressiveness. He was a finalist in the Valley Stream North Tournament and one of five Sailors to win a bout against Chaminade. "Jarron is looking to place in the county," coach Candela said.

given: firstname.lastname@example.com is an alias for firstname.lastname@example.com
when someone sends an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com will receive the email in their inbox, and the 'to:' field will show that the email is email@example.com. (the expected / desired behavior)
however sharing and chatting do not preserve this behavior, for example:
user2 shares something with email@example.com, but when looking at the shared account user2 now sees that it is shared with firstname.lastname@example.com instead (the alias was rewritten by zimbra somewhere down the line)
the same thing happens with chatting. if user2 adds firstname.lastname@example.com, eventually firstname.lastname@example.com will show up in the buddy list instead of email@example.com
am i missing an option somewhere to turn off this forceful rewriting of aliases, or can this be considered a bug that is worth considering?

Midland going all in on ground game
It didn't take long for folks at Cabell Midland to realize that Luke Salmons was sticking to his guns, no matter what.
In his first two games as coach last year, the Knights ran the ball 56 times for 382 yards, then 51 times for 340 yards. The fact that they lost two nail-biters didn't diminish their commitment to the ground game.
Midland's players eventually seized momentum with the new game plan, ripping off five straight wins at one point and finishing with an 8-4 record and a spot in the Class AAA playoff quarterfinals. This year, the rush to glory has continued.
The Knights are one of three unbeaten AAA teams remaining in West Virginia, sporting a 5-0 record and the No. 1 spot in the playoff rankings at season's midpoint. Their 14.4 rating is a full 1.4 higher than any other school.
And they can heap most of the thanks onto a diversified running game that averages about 49 carries and 360 yards.
Three different running backs (Lowell Farley, David Gaydosz, Steve Matthews) have combined for nine 100-yard-plus efforts in a game so far this season, and one of the team's most talented runners, Kasey Thomas, just recently rejoined the squad following an injury.
"All these kids are working our scheme,'' said Salmons, the former Ravenswood and Marshall standout. "Every kid brings something different to the table. They're all doing their job well and fitting into what we're doing. They've all got a job to do, and it's blocking and running.''
Salmons, who won the Hunt Award as the state's top lineman at Ravenswood in 1998, came to Midland from Lawrence County (Ky.), where he learned his first high school coaching lesson the hard way in 2008.
"We were a spread team, and we had a very athletic quarterback who could run the spread,'' Salmons said of Chandler Shepherd, who ended up playing baseball at the University of Kentucky. "We were very competitive at times, but we didn't win a game. It came to the point where [Shepherd] got hurt and now we had a freshman quarterback who really didn't do the stuff the other kid could do.
"I realized then that in coaching, if you don't have an abundance of certain-type kids and a certain-type system, you're not going to be very successful. We had some good linemen who were tough and physical and played hard. We studied up, and took some stuff from other teams, even from Wayne, who did a lot of stuff we believed in, and mixed it together. The best thing about it is that we don't have to have that one [talented] kid - we're not going to fall apart if one kid goes down.''
After going 0-11 at Lawrence County in 2008, Salmons flipped it around to 12-1 the following year and his coaching career was off and running. In more ways than one.
He and his staff spent their first year at Midland fine-tuning the offense, and with the return of Thomas and Farley (the school's all-time rushing leader), and the addition of the elusive Gaydosz, a transfer from Winfield, they've struck gold this year.
Farley has run for 721 yards and seven touchdowns with four 100-yard games, Gaydosz has added 539 yards and six TDs with three 100-yard games and Matthews 333 yards and five scores with two 100-yard games.
Salmons still thinks Thomas will make his mark before the season ends.
"Going into the year, Kasey was really good,'' Salmons said. "I couldn't tell you how good he was. We scrimmaged Wayne and he had 300 all-purpose yards. But he got hurt before the first game, and we plug Matthews in and he [averages] over 100-some yards the first three games.
"Even our JVs and our freshmen understand our offense - everything - in case someone does go down.''
Salmons said it became a process of teaching his system to a new group of players.
"Everybody has a preference, I guess,'' he said, "and it could be the lineman in me, I don't know. But I just like the mentality of it.
"If you're running the ball, you've also got to have that defensive mindset - be physical and be tough. Be that kind of team. In my opinion, that sort of [running game] goes hand in hand with your defense. It goes with the program all together. You get a lot better on defense because you know you have to be tough and physical, even in practice on both offense and defense, and it matches your mentality. It fits our program, it fits our kids and it fits our school, and it's one of the reasons they really want to come here and be that type of team at Cabell Midland.''
The Knights, who still have games left against highly ranked teams such as Woodrow Wilson, Capital and Hurricane, have proven to be kind of a throwback team competing in the Mountain State Athletic Conference.
With teams like St. Albans tinkering with a spread offense, much like South Charleston and Capital and others before them, more and more MSAC schools are fielding wide-open passing attacks. But even though Midland believes it can throw the ball if it chooses, expect Salmons to stick to his roots and stick to the ground game.
"It seems like every team we play runs some version of the spread,'' Salmons said, "except for Spring Valley. And it's a challenge, but at the same time, it's a challenge for them to have to play our type of football in a week instead of working on something different at practice.
"I like coaching here because of the challenges, and the kids do, too. They know every week's important.''

Toppings give sliders extra oomph
Beef sliders are just the cutest little things to serve a crowd. And because of their cuteness, it seems they need gussying up with more than the traditional burger fare of mustard, ketchup and pickle or onion. These sliders here are topped with guacamole and a dollop of salsa, a grilled baby portabella mushroom and Swiss cheese, and grilled red onions and tangy horseradish mayonnaise. Grill sliders the same way you would a regular burger. Once cooked, top with desired toppings, or set out the toppings for your guests to create their own. You can use dinner rolls for sliders. They're just about the right size. Smaller sliders, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, can be nestled them into mini pitas (about 3 inches in diameter). You can cut off one side of the pita and stuff the mini burger inside or cut the pita completely in half horizontally, making two pieces. You can serve these as appetizers. Beef Sliders Three Ways Makes 12. Prep time: 10 minutes. Total time: 40 minutes. You can make three varieties of sliders or make them all the same. Adjust the topping amounts to taste. The amounts for each topping are for 4 sliders. 12 beef sliders, 2 to 2 1/2 ounces each Salt and black pepper to taste 12 slider buns For Guacamole: 1/2 cup prepared guacamole 4 tablespoons salsa 4 tablespoons shredded Mexican cheese blend For Mushroom: 4 baby bella mushrooms, about 2 inches in diameter 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and black pepper to taste 2 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese Small torn pieces of lettuce For Horseradish Mayo: 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices Olive oil Salt and black pepper 1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish or to taste Small torn pieces of lettuce HEAT the grill to medium-high. ASSEMBLE all the slider ingredients. Set aside the guacamole and salsa. Wipe the mushrooms clean, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the mushrooms until soft, about 3 minutes per side. Cut each Swiss cheese slice into quarters. BRUSH the red onion slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the onion slices at the same time you grill the mushrooms until they are tender. MIX the mayonnaise with the horseradish. SEASON sliders on each side with some salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, oil the grate. GRILL the sliders about 3 minutes on each side. Grill the slider buns if desired. REMOVE sliders from the grill. For the guacamole sliders: On the bottoms of four slider buns, spread some guacamole. Place a slider on top and top with some salsa and shredded Mexican cheese blend. For the mushroom sliders: Place some lettuce on the bottom bun and top with a slider. Add a quarter piece of Swiss cheese and top with a grilled mushroom. For the horseradish mayo sliders: Place some lettuce leaves on a bottom bun. Top with the grilled red onion and a slider. Place a dollop of the horseradish mayonnaise on the slider.
