Who Gains?Boom, Anette; Schwenen, Sebastian (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We examine welfare e ects of real-time pricing in electricity markets. Before stochastic energy demand is known, competitive retailers contract with nal consumers who exogenously do not have real-time meters. After demand is realized, two electricity generators compete in a uniform price auction to satisfy demand from retailers acting on behalf of subscribed customers and from consumers with real-time meters. Increasing the number of consumers on real-time pricing does not always increase welfare since risk-averse consumers dislike uncertain and high prices arising through market power. In the Bertrand case, welfare is the same with all or no consumers on smart meters. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8766

Or how the natural environment may qualify as a stakeholder in the firm's business environmentJustesen, Lise; Mouritsen, Jan; Tryggestad, Kjell (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In its general form, stakeholder theory posits an extension of the ecology. It claims that there are other stakes and interests than those posited by shareholder value theory (Freeman et al. 2004; Jensen and Sandström 2011), and some stakeholder theory proponents argue that the natural environment is also to be considered as a stakeholder (Driscoll and Starik 2004; Norton 2007). It is a positive claim – there are more stakes and interests – and a moral one – we should look towards more interests in order to complete the analysis. With this framing, stakeholder theory seeks to identify stakes and interests which may be difficult but in principle achievable; it also seeks to make analysis of organized activity such as (global) business into a concern with the relative power of stakes and interests. These concerns are highly relevant but they face the barrier that if stakes and interests are positively there, the analysis becomes static and will pay less attention to both the formation and to power-effects of stakes and interest.

Shared Leadership in a Filmmaking CompanyStrandgaard, Jesper (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: How can organizations innovate and break with conventions without losing their legitimacy? Organizing for legitimacy (serving tradition and convention) often contrasts organizing for innovation and is often perceived a choice between two evils. This paper suggests that leaders can reconcile the legitimacy-innovation tension by combining and addressing them as two complimentary processes. An ethnographic case study depicts how shared leadership in a highly successful filmmaking company, confronts the legitimacy-innovation tension and, based on a combination of 'out-of-fashion' and contra-intuitive actions, their search for new solutions makes them balance between being a rebel or an outlaw.

Ten general principlesLi, Xin; Brødsgaard, Kjeld Erik; Jacobsen, Michael (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We argue, due to the conspicuous failure of Washington Consensus-guided reforms in most part of the developing world in 1990s and the outbreak of the current global financial crisis, Washington Consensus, as a general term of the neoliberal free market economic thinking, has been withering. In the meantime, Chinese economic model has gain wide recognition and praise worldwide. Joshua C. Ramo coined the term of Beijing Consensus as an alternative approach to economic development for developing nations. There has been hot debate on the notion of Beijing Consensus. We argue even though there are some problems in Ramo's original definition of Beijing Consensus, we should not reject this notion altogether. Instead, we should try to come up with better conceptualizations of this term. In this paper, we sum up ten general principles of the Chinese development model as our new definition of the Beijing Consensus. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7830

Abstract: This paper seeks to establish a framework for the study of luxury based and to explore the contemporary luxury scene with the purpose of providing ideas and directions for more in-depth, focused investigations of the production and consumption of luxury goods. Drawing on sociological, anthropological and historical inquiry, it first addresses some of the key definitional, conceptual and moral issues arising in the analysis of luxury. Pointing to the challenges of even defining luxury, the paper adopts and extends a flexible scheme for conceptualizing luxury. This provides a framework for investigation the consumption and management of luxury today. We then examine contemporary luxury through different perspectives on "new luxury" and the related issue of Asia's rise as the world's primary market for luxury. While the paper does aim to give a sense of the characteristics of the present-day luxury scene, the central focus of the study is on discourses on luxury. We consider to what extent and in which ways luxury is being redefined – by "new luxury" and Asia's ascent. Finally the paper suggests themes and pointers for further research.

Abstract: In this article I will interpret John Dewey's perspective on reflective thinking as if he were a philosopher of innovation management. From his pragmatist point of departure, the problems involved in knowledge-processes relevant to innovation are analysed and reconceptualised. On the basis of the analysis I attempt to identify some categories of general applicability when understanding, designing, and managing radical innovation processes. These categories are useful to conceptualise and talk about innovation, when knowledge is taken seriously and when managing innovation is also understood as managing the production of new knowledge, that is of making the unjustified justified, and the unknown known.

Shambaugh, David (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: China's diplomacy is among the many accomplishments of China during the period of reform and opening up. The People's Republic of China is emerging fully on to the world's stage, and in a largely positive fashion. It now has both interests and a presence in parts of the world completely new to China—such as Latin America and the Middle East. Beijing has managed its relations well with the major world powers—United States, Russia, and the European Union. It has transformed its regional diplomacy in Asia, reasserted a role in Africa, and has become more active in multilateral organizations. Thirty years ago, at the outset of the "reform and opening" era, China acted hesitantly on the world stage, limiting itself largely to its united front tactics against Soviet "social imperialism." Its diplomats were not very sophisticated and rarely left their embassies abroad. In the United Nations, China's preferred medium of voting was to abstain (especially on sensitive issues). In short, China's diplomacy was hesitant and not confident, inward-looking not outward looking, parochial and not sophisticated, reactive not proactive, and composed more of words than deeds. Today, these latter characterizations better describe China's diplomacy. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8013

A Time Series Analysis of Institutional and Partisan EffectsCiti, Manuele (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The marginal involvement of the EU in redistributive policies and its limited fiscal resources have led to a lack of attention to the EU budget and its determinants. In this paper I analyse an original dataset containing yearly data on the main macrocategories of expenditure and how they have changed over the last three decades (1984-2013). Using time series analysis, I find that the ability to form winning coalitions in the Council, the ideological position of the co-legislators, and some 'structuring events' - like the adoption of the Multiannual Financial Framework and the accession of the cohesion countries - have a significant role in driving the process of budgetary reform.

Marton, Attila; Avital, Michel; Blegind Jensen, Tina (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recent developments in the techniques and technologies of collecting, sharing and analysing data are challenging the field of information systems (IS) research let alone the boundaries of organizations and the established practices of decision-making. Coined 'open data' and 'big data', these developments introduce an unprecedented level of societal and organizational engagement with the potential of computational data to generate new insights and information. Based on the commonalities shared by open data and big data, we develop a research framework that we refer to as open big data (OBD) by employing the dimensions of 'order' and 'relationality'. We argue that these dimensions offer a viable approach for IS research on open and big data because they address one of the core value propositions of IS; i.e. how to support organizing with computational data. We contrast these dimensions with two other categories that stem from computer science and engineering, namely 'big/small' and 'open/closed' to address the complex interplay between people and data, social interaction and technological operations. Thus conceived, this paper contributes an alternative approach for the study of open and big data as well as laying the theoretical groundwork for its future empirical research.

Three papers laying the foundation for regional CGE models with agglomeration characteristicsTermansen, Lars Brømsøe (Frederiksberg, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper analyses the effects of introducing taxes and regional transfers on the equilibrium properties in a standard Core-Periphery model. A central government levies taxes on production factors and redistributes the revenue to all agents regardless of their location. In the case of Core-Periphery economy this is in effect a re-allocation of agglomeration rents. Simulations show that taxes and transfers alter the Core-Periphery model's properties by moving the Break and Sustain points. The range of freeness of trade with Core-Periphery outcomes is reduced for transfers to the periphery, and increased for transfers to the core. The width of the overlap where the models exhibit hysteresis effects remains the same regardless of the transfers. The analysis reveals that in the Core-Periphery outcome the agglomeration rents can be taxed without exhausting the core's scale effects. The tax revenues can then be redistributed such that periphery regions and the central government have incentives in promoting core regions, which function as industrial locomotives for the whole economy.

How Regional Characteristics Affect External Knowledge Acquisition and InnovationMasciarelli, Francesca; Prencipe, Andrea; Laursen, Keld (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: To introduce new products and processes, firms often acquire knowledge from other organizations. Drawing on social capital and transaction cost theory, we argue that not only is the impact of such acquisitions on the successful development of product and product innovations dependent on strategic and economic variables, it may also be contingent on the "knowledge characteristics" of the geographical area in which the firm is located. Combining data on social capital at the level of 21 regions with a large scale data set on innovative activities by a representative sample of 2464 Italian manufacturing firms, we find — after controlling for a large set of firm and regional characteristics — that being located in regions characterized by high levels of social interaction leads to a higher propensity to innovate. In addition, being located in an area characterized by a high degree of social interaction positively moderates the effectiveness of externally acquired R&D on innovation inclination.

That hard stuff
As we made clear in our guide to 21 of the best affordable hardware synthesizers, you no longer have to pay megabucks to get your hands on a decent digital or analogue instrument. And yet, there's something enticing about those synths that cost a little more.
Frequently boasting improved build quality, more options, larger keyboards (if they have one) and, of course, better sound, these flagship instruments are the ones that many of us dream about owning. Unless you're super-rich then you'll probably never be able to justify buying more than one or two of them, but as they take pride of place in your studio and become objects of practicality as well as desire, their value to you is likely to become even greater than their initial cost.
Let's take a look, then, at some of MusicRadar's favourite high-end synths. They're not ranked in any way - we've listed them in ascending price order and given you an idea of the current street price pf each one - but we've lavished praise on every single one of them.
NEXT: Korg RK100s
Korg RK100s
With the recent '80s revivalist trends that have been doing the rounds for the past few years and the growing number of electronically-centric live acts, it's surprising that we only saw one noteworthy keytar released in 2014.
Not that it would've mattered if hundreds had been brought to market - we'd still have picked the RK100S as our favourite.
Resurrected in the same three colours that adorned the 1984 RK100 version, the S takes its mid-sized keys from the MS-20 and its sound engine from the microKorg XL. Plus, most notably, it includes not one but two ribbon controllers, one of which spans the entire length of the keybed - shredtastic!

Teenage Engineering OP-1
The OP-1 was touted as an intuitive musical tool with a radical new approach. It offers incredible build quality that's backed up by an unorthodox but effective synth engine, excellent effects and a quirky tape recorder.
There's something inherently likeable about the OP-1. It's colourful, it's portable and using it makes us feel like we're playing with a very powerful toy.
Don't expect analogue-style synth sounds, but take the OP-1 on its own terms and you'll discover that its synth engines can create a broad range of highly usable tones.

Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Keyboard SE
This Special Edition of the Mopho keyboard gives you 44 notes to play as opposed to the standard version's 32. The extra octave on the SE is a welcome addition in terms of playability, and makes it a much better proposition as a controller. Also, despite the bigger footprint, the SE is still very compact and portable.
The SE's architecture is the same as in the Mopho module and Keyboard (and the Mopho X4, but that's monophonic, not polyphonic). There are two DCOs with saw, tri, saw-tri and variable pulse waves, (alas, no sine), plus a sub oscillator per oscillator.
The overall Mopho character is well defined and upfront, though it can also do warm, smudgy and juicy, particularly with the powerful self-oscillating resonance of the four-pole filter. The Mopho SE can nail most classic monosynth sounds, and the tuning is very stable due to the DCO architecture.
If you're considering the Mopho Keyboard, then we would definitely jump for the SE instead considering the relatively small price difference. It looks classier and the extra octave is indispensable.

Korg KingKORG
Billed as a performance synthesizer, KingKORG is designed to be used both in the studio and on stage. It uses a new XMT (Xpanded Modeling Technology) engine to provide sound sources across a wide range of tones, from accurate sample-based models to rich, analogue hybrids.
What's most pleasing is how carefully the KingKORG's design has been considered. You can reach for most of the functions you'd want, with 'critical' settings for each section of the synth clearly labelled and readily available. Its synthesizer roots draw influence from a long line of Korg classics (including the MS-20 and MS2000), and its physical modelling echoes pioneering products such as the Z1 and Prophecy.
If you're looking for a synth with a well-designed interface, cracking sounds and scope to create your own, get in front of this instrument and give it a try.

Studiologic Sledge v2.0
The original Waldorf-powered Sledge launched in 2012 and, despite being pretty reasonably priced and offering a very solid synth engine, it has largely fallen under the radar. However, v2.0 will get people taking it a lot more seriously.
There's no doubt that the Sledge's front panel has been largely influenced by the Minimoog with its classic three-oscillator plus filter plus dual envelope layout. It's a great choice of design as it's very familiar to most people and flows very nicely.
Throw in wavetable and sample import options, plus FM, 24-note polyphony, split/layering facilities and aftertouch support, and Sledge starts to look like a great buy.

Korg ARP Odyssey
Originally Launched in 1972, the 2800 series (or Odyssey as it became known commercially) was ARP's answer to the hugely successful Minimoog - which appeared two years earlier - and was quickly adopted by many top players, including jazz-funk-fusion gods Herbie Hancock and George Duke.
Korg's emulation nails the sound of the original, and goes further with some welcome new enhancements. What's great is that the Oddy is now even more versatile sonically, and can easily make subs, screaming or rich leads, dirty noises, snappy drums and FX. Having MIDI and USB connectivity is great, too.
It's amazing to have a new, reliable and - above-all - authentic-sounding Odyssey in our hands, and we're genuinely excited to see where Korg will take the ARP brand going forward.

Moog Sub Phatty
This monophonic Moog offering is a 25-key unit that features two variable waveshape oscillators and is littered with plenty of knobs.
The Sub Phatty's true brief is to be all synths to all people. Fat-bottomed basses, quavering Geddy Lee-ish lead lines or Moogy flutes are all there for the twiddling once you find your way around the instrument.
The original Minimoog Model D promoted exploration and found a niche in almost every genre of popular music. While the Sub Phatty may not be in a position to do quite the same, it has an organic and patently clear connection to those halcyon days of innovation.
Flexible sound shaping, playability and an everyman price make the Sub Phatty a real contender.

Access Virus TI
A measure of how highly the Virus TI is thought of is that even software aficionados cite it as a piece of hardware that they'd really like to own. A virtual analogue instrument, it's available in Desktop, Keyboard (61- and 37-note) and compact 'Snow' formats, and whichever one you go for, you're guaranteed the now-classic Virus sound.
The exact specs will depend on the model you choose, but sonically, there's something for everyone here. The Virus is capable of subtle and gentle tones, but make it mad and it has a penchant for sheer, unadulterated brutality.
With a well-considered control set and easy integration with a DAW, the Virus TI is a seriously powerful synth that'll slot effortlessly into your studio.

Korg MS-20M Kit
At NAMM 2015, Korg surprised us with the launch of a module version of the MS-20 kit, the MS-20M, and to partner it, a new compact sequencer (the Korg SQ-1) which comes included.
In most ways it's the same as the keyboard version, sporting two oscillators, two envelopes, two fiRead Korg MS-20M Kit reviewlters and a plethora of modulation options for making bubbles, squeaks, evolving sounds, basses, leads and sound effects. However, there are several key new features included.
However, Korg has also added oscillator sync (activated via a switch between the two oscillator waveform selectors) which really sounds superb. Then there's FM, which is activated by a switch between the oscillator footage controls, which adds yet another level of sonic versatility to the already MS-20 engine.
In short, if you can do without the keyboard and are happy with the self-assembly requirement, this is the best MS-20 yet.

Elektron Analog Four
At its heart the A4 is a four-voice analogue synth featuring two DCOs (digitally controlled analogue oscillators, not digital oscillators) per voice, with a sequencer track per voice (four tracks), an FX track and a CV track for controlling voltage-controlled gear. There's also an analogue ladder filter and multi-mode filter.
All things considered, the A4 is an amazing little box that sounds polished yet raw and organic, and it's inspiring to use once you have negotiated the initial learning curve. It excels at big basses, warped FX, punchy drums and dreamy soundscapes, and can go from subtle to in-your-face in the twist of a dial. The send effects are also great for adding space, movement, and stereo width to your patterns.
If you want an analogue synth/step sequencer with enough to keep you hooked for a long time, then look no further that the Analog Four.

Elektron Analog Keys
The Analog Keys is very much a sister product to the Elektron Analog Four synthesizer/sequencer. The signal path from the oscillators to the audio outputs is completely analogue, and the external inputs can be routed in right at the start of the chain. However, the noise generator, envelopes and LFOs are all digitally generated.
The learning curve to get the most of the Analog Keys hardware is quite steep in places. While there are many areas of apparent creative freedom and flexibility, there are other aspects that frustrate.
However, there's plenty to like about the Analog Keys. It has a fine synth engine under the hood, some interesting interfacing options, and is capable of some great results in sonic terms.

Analogue Solutions Telemark v2
The Telemark was originally conceived as being a more feature-rich variation of Tom Oberheim's SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) design from 1974. This achieved legendary status and went on to form the basis of some of the earliest polyphonic synth systems.
Despite the similarities, though, Analogue Solutions makes it very clear in the manual that it is "not intended to be and is not a clone of the SEM. If you want a true SEM sound, buy an SEM!". So you've been told.
The Telemark is a flexible, very capable and fine-sounding analogue synth, especially when hooked up to an analogue sequencer or used in conjunction with software such as MOTU's Volta or Expert Sleepers' Silent Way (which allow some audio interfaces to double as multi-output CV/Gate sources).
Spending a tenth of this will get you a pretty good software emulation of an Oberheim SEM, but it will most definitely lack the charm, sound, flexibility and physical presence of this very usable and individual hardware.

Elektron Monomachine
The Monomachine has six monophonic synth engines (all DSP-based, so no analogue here), each of which is associated with a sequencer track. There are also a further six polyphonic tracks provided for sequencing of external MIDI gear.
This is a synth that encourages you to experiment in ways that would be impossible with most other synth/sequencer combinations. In fact, it comes close to providing what a large analogue modular system might offer, albeit with its own sonic character, and is a lot of fun to use.

Nord Lead A1
The initial view on the A1 was that it was a slimmed-down version of the Lead 4, which was possibly due to the proximity in release to the NL4. It is, however, a direct replacement for the Lead 2/2x range which hadn't seen the light of day for a good 17 years.
First impressions focus on its diminutive size compared to the rest of the Nord stable; the same goes for the price point. The bright red case, sturdy rubberised dials, hard plastic buttons and stone-effect mod wheel/wooden pitchbend are all standard Nord issue. But the A1 is designed to be more compact, portable and easier to program than the Lead 4, and it is.
If you want the Nord sound at a low price then look no further.

Moog Sub 37
Quite obviously the arch rival to the Pro 2, the Sub 37 is a duo/paraphonic limited edition synth based on the Sub Phatty engine.
Dubbed the Tribute Edition - in honour of Bob himself and his love of education - each Sub 37 sold has a portion of the proceeds donated to Asheville Area School Music Programs.
While both this and the Sub Phatty have their own unique characteristics, for Moog lovers the real boon here is the inclusion of the arpeggiator, something not even featured in the massive Voyager XL, let alone other Phattys.

The new filter types and Impulse Morphing are especially notable (along with the versatile new effects), and though you can't upload samples and the interface could be more spacious and flow better, the basic sound and feel is great, and the wavetables add a lot of new scope.
It's certainly one of the nicest-sounding virtual analogue synths around, and gets very close to the real deal. It will appeal to those looking for one synth that can do authentic analogue emulation (both for live and in the studio), yet it can go way beyond into futuristic digital sonic mayhem, and back in a snap with the ingenious new morphing implementation.
It's certainly pricey, but the Nord Lead 4 is inspiring to play, and very much a player's instrument.

Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2
Not wanting to rest on its laurels, Dave Smith and crew came back with the Pro 2, a reimagining of the original Sequential Circuits Pro 1, but certainly not a reissue.
This versatile mono/paraphonic synth has more in common with the Prophet 12 than the Pro 1, and is a huge improvement on the Mopho.
Better still, the inclusion of superwaves, a sequencer, four-note paraphony, new filters and extensive CV control make this synth a must-have.

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08
Dave Smith revisited his seminal Prophet range here to introduce a new generation to the sound of polyphonic analogue synthesis.
The Prophet '08's sound architecture and sound shaping features are very comprehensive. What's more, it sounds classy, has very flexible mod routings and the eight-note polyphony allows several sounds to be stacked and split within one patch.
In short, this is the answer to many a keyboard player's dreams.

Roland Jupiter-80
The Jupiter-80 is largely based on Roland's acclaimed 'Supernatural' sampling technology, which samples every key from the instrument (instead of just a few zones) for super-realistic, dynamically smooth sounds.
It also features a virtual analogue modelled synth - which Roland calls a 'Supernatural Synth' - featuring several virtual analogue waves and the 'Supersaw' wave which debuted on the JP-8000 (and is a staple sound for Trance producers). Plus, like the Nord Stage 2, it also has sampled PCM waves, though you can't import your own currently.
Once you get to grips with its confusing sound structure and sparse interface there is very little to fault with the Jupiter-80. It's a sonically versatile, impressive and supremely powerful synth.

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12
Unlike the Prophet 08 (which uses digitally controlled analogue Oscs), the P12 uses powerful Sharc DSPs to produce new high-resolution, anti-aliasing digital waves.
At its heart are 12 voices (with four digital oscillators per voice, plus a single sine sub osc) and a completely analogue signal path from the filters to the output.
In use, the P12 is a dream to play and work with, and everything you would expect from an analogue synth is onboard. Its overall character is best described as precise, upfront, punchy and organic. It excels at everything from low-filtered background pads and sizzling strings, to fat basses, industrial clangorous tones, authentic FM four-op sounds, sweet bubbling arpeggiated FX and authentic analogue-style leads, pads and brass. It's a real testament to the quality of the analogue-style waves.
The price is definitely on the high side, but this is a pretty unique synth, both in terms of sonics and features.

Moog Minimoog Voyager XL
The XL is a wonder to behold even before you've plugged it into your speakers. It looks like someone designed it in Photoshop under the title 'Fantasy Moog'.
This is the Aston Martin of Minimoogs and, as such, it's not easy to sum up this instrument without resorting to hyperbole. It sounds better than superb, it's a wonder to play and it's just glorious to program and listen to.
If your mission is to track down the holy grail of analogue synths then it's time to board the good ship XL.

San Francisco's Bernal Heights originated in 1839 with a land grant to José Bernal. By 1860, Bernal's land belonged to Francois Pioche, who subdivided it into smaller lots.
This book highlights some of my favorite stairways, streets, and houses from the Bernal Heights East neighborhood, which was once called Peralta Heights. Bernal Heights has more stairway streets than any other San Francisco neighborhood, and is 500 ft. elevation.
Annual not-to-be-missed neighborhood events include the Hillwide Community Garage Sales Day (all over the hill), and the "Fiesta on the Hill" street fair on several blocks of Cortland, the main shopping street.

It was dusty, sure. But it was done, and F1 could come to town.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1999 Summer U.S. Tour."
they kicked things off with farmhouse, which i thought to be a very poor opening choice. i was hoping they would come out firey...not so much. gbott was very overplayed on this tour,so i figured we'd be seeing that at the creek in one of the two nights. this song was ruined for me after seeing the bad ass dobro infused version in nashville. none of the other versions i heard could even come close. after they cranked up vultures, i thought this set would start to turn a corner, but as soon as they wrapped that up they dipped into sleep. this one is a snoozer. my hopes rose again with gumbo, where they explored some nice funk grooves that eventually found there way into a solid nicu. beauty of my dreams kept the energy going. bathtub gin got me fired up, but once it got going it did not really do too much. they dipped back into snooz'ville with mtnsi n the mist. axilla kept the roller coaster set going before closing out a some what disjointed stash that, like gin, tried to go somewhere but it never quite made it.
there have been many times i've seen phish play an uneven 1st set and rally back to kill the second. this was not one of those nights. wolfman's did start things off really well. they dug into some explosive funk grooves before winding around into piper. this piper also had some nice exploration. i really thought this show had turned around, but some problems started to arise during theme. it sounded like gordon got a little lost but the theme jam seemed a little muddled. after an odd little feed back jam led into down with disease, gordon and fishman's timing continued to be off. trey shot gordon a mean shitty grin as he sang the line in dwd about "always loosing time." you could feel the inner band tension. this jam had some interesting points, but all in all, it lacked focus and direction. finally they found their way into 2001 but all of a sudden gordon just starts playing soa melt. i don't know if gordon ate some mushrooms before this show or what, but this was not good. the notes below the set list describe the 2001 as a tease and say mike "redirected" the band, but that is not wholly accurate. they were playing 2001 and gordon just boned it. this is the only show where i was not wowed by gordo's playing, but something was up on this night. like the previous songs, the melt never really took flight, and the summer tour was coming to a close.
woodstock: this was a nice little moment to a not so hot show. i hadn't really been paying attention to the woodstock happenings since i was catching the end of phish tour, but all hell had broken loose. despite a not so hot phish show, it was still better than being anywhere else.
julius: not my favorite, song.... weak way to end the tour.
set 1: gumbo>nicu
set 2: wolfman's piper
On the other hand, Theme>DWD>jam is unbridled, at times aggressive rock and roll, and the "jam" is Siket Disc worthy stuff.
Phish threw their 100 MPH fastball the night before, but this one's a curveball with some heat. Check it out!

Gender Reveal (16 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
After finding out my best friend was having her second child, I went straight to work on planning a Gender Reveal party for her. It was a party I hadn't done and I thought it was a great idea for a second child.
While brainstorming the design for the invitation, I came across Jenny from Craft That Party's Peg Dolls and knew exactly how I would reveal the gender. A little peg doll wrapped up to be opened by the big sister. It was a great way to incorporate her into the big news.
I designed the invitation and the printables based on the peg dolls.
My colors were already going to be yellow and grey no matter what. They worked out great with the Peg Doll theme.
To keep with the theme, I thought the guessing should be done via mini bare wood peg dolls I purchased from Hobby Lobby. I spray painted them pink and blue and had the guests choose which one represented their guess for the gender. My awesome husband built the voting stand via a hand drawn "blueprint" I provided him.
I had bottles of champagne with custom labels that read "Before the big reveal..TOAST ME" and a custom label for the apple cider which indicated it was the expecting family's private reserve.
I prepared all the food myself which included Tarragon Chicken Salad, Stuffed Dates wrapped in bacon, grapes & cheese, and a Red Pepper Cream Cheese dip served with pretzel crips. It was all served on mini tasting plates.
Drinks for the party included White Sangria, Water with lemon slices, lemonade, and beer.
The dessert table I filled with cake and cupcakes, cake pops, chocolate covered oreos, macarons, and Creme Brulee I piped into a fresh mini cup of berries accompanied by a wood spoon stamped "Happy for you".
It was truly a suspenseful moment when little sis opened the package. For the package I used a simple Kraft box with a bow tied around it to make it easy for her to open. As she is only two, I also did not want her to lose interest in a complex package.
It was a sweet moment for family to find out the big news. Such a fun little party.

ZF-3076: Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page empty cache on non 200 HTTP status
I have come across a serious problem with using Frontent_Page when implementing additional HTTP status.
This includes the problem in issue #ZF-2841, but has more serious implications.
The frontend cache's a page no matter what HTTP status was sent in the response, and then serves it as though it was a HTTP/1.x 200 OK.
I have implemented correct Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since behaviour in my website, and so it sends a HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified when the browser has an up to date cache.
The problem is, when I change the http status (php function header()), I exit the request, as is meant to be done. The ob_start callback then caches the blank response. Once this is in the cache, it will be served as a blank page on subsiquent requests.
I would assume this would happen on any other HTTP status which involves any other way of sending alternative content/behaviour (e.g. 206, 301, 307 even 404s?). The correct behaviour would be to only cache if the HTTP status was 200 (or have some alternative storage for redirects).
I have tried looking for a php solution that would return the sent status, but not found any. Sadly headers_list does not include this. So I think the only way to fix this is to modify the php binary itself to include something that does this. Alternatively any cache/redirect/etc behaviour would need to be registered before hand by a Zend php class, but this wouldn't be ideal.
Please evaluate and categorize/assign as necessary.
I understand your problem. But there is no easy solution for this.
I keep this issue open as a reminder
We will work soon on the "headers" part of Frontend_Page.
I think the simplest tidy solution at the moment would be to add a "cancel" method to the class, so in the very least, anyone who alters headers and exits can stop the page from being cached. e.g.
header('Location: /newpage.html'); $cache->cancel(); exit;
hum... good idea !
I just commited in SVN trunk your cancel() method
can you give it a try ?
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.
If anyone stumbles on this: The current option to solve the problem described here is memorize_headers.
memorize_headers Array array(): an array of strings corresponding to some HTTP headers name. Listed headers will be stored with cache datas and "replayed" when the cache is hit
I'm not sure how you mean memorize_headers should be used for it. That is used to tell the cache what response headers to cache.
The response headers themselves are retrievable after being sent. Its just the HTTP status isn't, and a redirect or error can't be recognised to stop the cache.
The cancel method Fabien implemented, that's documented further down that page, is the only realistic workaround without a PHP binary fix.
Sorry, should have made myself clearer. I was responding to your comment about canceling when changing the Location header:
header('Location: /newpage.html'); $cache->cancel(); exit;
In this case, the redirect will work if you simply add Location to memorize_headers.
Unfortunately this does not help with Status no being replayed and the page cache will still return 200 OK when loading the page from cache instead of any 301 or 302 you may be setting with header or $response->setRawHeader...
The jist of it for me at least is: HTTP Error codes -> cancel cache using the cancel() method. HTTP Redirect codes: you can still cache the pages by adding 'Location' to memorize_headers, while the code will not be replayed, the Location header will be.
Why not just memorize the response codes too?

The war against the unborn can only ultimately be stopped by and through the Church. Just from a natural point of view, this is a vast network of interaction and communication. Imagine what can happen if our clergy infuse that vast structure with clear, vigorous, and compassionate pro-life teaching and action.
The Church is the only institution that has a Divine guarantee that it will prevail over the culture of death. "The gates of hell will not prevail against it," the Lord said. The gates of death fall in the presence of life.
To fully apply those gifts to the task of ending abortion, does not so much require more structure as it does more spirit, more awareness, more courage, and more determination to use both the means and the opportunities we already have.
–Fr. Frank

The time has come! I can finally tell you about some of our 2010 presenters. Watch this space. I'll be introducing them in blog posts periodically over the coming days and weeks.
I am thrilled with our line-up for this year. Come October, we'll roll out the red carpet for old friends and new from all over North America and the UK.
Let's get started! First up, a man who probably always came last - or close to it - in the attendance roll call at school, so we'll switch things up and put him first on our presenter roll call.
Meet Tim Wynne-Jones. Tim has written thirty-one books. He has twice won the Governor General's Award for children's literature for Some of the Kinder Planets, and The Maestro. His work has been translated into Japanese, Korean, Danish, Dutch, German, French, Italian, Hebrew, Spanish and Catalan. He was the first Canadian to win The Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for "Planets," and also received a Horn Honor Book for Rex Zero and the End of the World. His novel, The Boy in the Burning House, won the Edgar Award of the Mystery Writers of America, the Arthur Ellis Award of the Crime Writers of Canada, and was short-listed for the Guardian Award in Great Britain. The Maestro, retitled The Survival Game in the UK, was short-listed for the Guardian Prize, as well. His new novel, Rex Zero, The Great Pretender, is the third in his Rex Zero series and was launched at The Canadian Cold War Museum in the fall of 2009, to open a new permanent exhibition called Rex Zero Head-Quarters, representing a child's-eye view of the cold war. His spring 2009 thriller, The Uninvited, was short-listed for the Governor General's Award and chosen as a Publisher's Weekly Best Books for Kids title.You can find out more about Tim at his website.
Welcome, Tim!

Congratulations, SiWC, Tim Wynne-Jones is an all-around gem. His adventurous cat character Zoom is still high on my list of gift-giving options for little people in my life. Not to forget The Maestro or Rosie Backstage. All I've read confirms his master status as a storyteller.

Hope this announcement is the first of a long list of Canadian presenters. My greatest disappointment with the 2009 conference was the dominance of rather "tired" American keynotes and presenters.
I do realize the market issues and, of course, expect to see lots of Americans, but the Canadians at the 2009 conference seemed to be sidelined and token.
All the best in the planning for 2010.

Canadian presenters
Thanks, Angela, for your enthusiasm. We're thrilled Tim will be joining us.
Elana, I'm sorry you missed the incredible Canadian representation at last year's conference; we actually had a particularly large number of Canadian writers on the roster. But with so many great workshops to choose from, I know I often completely missed seeing certain presenters in the years I came as an attendee.
Our main goal at the SiWC is always to bring in great teachers, no matter where they happen to be from. I hope you'll enjoy the 2010 line up.

I was born in a small, beautiful Canadian lumber town called Prince George where winters lasted for six months of the year.
My parents had the good sense to move the family South to Portland, Oregon where I grew up.
I have lived in and traveled throughout Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America. "What is life like for these people?" "What is that person thinking?" And, "How does it relate to my life?" These naturally occuring questions have led to my greater self awareness and personal growth. By viewing my photographs, I hope you have a similarly rewarding experience.

Novozymes acquired Iogen Bio-Products, the industrial enzyme business of Ottawa, Ontario-based Iogen for $67.3 million. The agreement gives Novozymes all commercial rights to Iogen Bio-Products' existing product portfolio, pipeline, facilities, and expertise. The deal does not include the purchase of assets that relate to Iogen's bioenergy process technologies.
Iogen Bio-Products, which entered the industrial enzyme industry in 1991, produces and sells enzymes for the pulp & paper, textile, grain-processing, and animal feed industries. The company has close to 70 employees and sells more than 20 products globally.
"Iogen Bio-Products is a good fit for Novozymes," explained Andrew Fordyce, vp of global enzyme sales and customer solutions at Novozymes. "We get a number of products that complement our existing product portfolio and welcome a talented group of employees who are very good at developing and producing industrial enzymes."
Novozymes, which began its business in 1925, markets over 700 biotech products in 130 countries.

Known for their vivid plumes and strange courtship rituals, birds-of-paradise are among the world's rarest and most fascinating. There are only 39 known species of birds of paradise, which are found only in New Guinea and parts of Australia. These remarkable birds are just one of the species captured here in a Victorian-style illustration that we've turned into a vintage-style wooden puzzle. Each of the 250 pieces is a different shape, and there are many bird-shaped "whimsy" pieces found throughout.
Hand-cut wooden puzzles were hugely popular in the 1900s and again during the Great Depression, and these heirlooms now sell for thousands of dollars. The British Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Company brings some of the art and craft back to puzzle-making by laser-cutting intricate pieces into Finnish birch plywood.
The interactive exhibition "Birds of Paradise: Amazing Avian Evolution" is at the National Geographic Museum from November 1, 2012, through May 28, 2013, and includes amazing footage and photography of these bizarre birds.
Made in Great Britain. For ages 10 and up. 14 1/8"H x 9 7/8"W. 250 pieces.

Game Changer: StageONE Power Meter
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From 303Triathlon.com
One of the many articles being produced as we covered many of the Colorado based at the recent Interbike in Las Vegas
By Lucas McCain
Prior to Interbike I ran a query for all the Colorado based companies that would be exhibiting. There was one called "Stages Cycling" based in Boulder that I'd never heard of. Web searches yielded zilch, so I decided to contact them directly. I got a quick response and invite to their booth at the show, but no further information about what they actually did. Not wanting to waste my time, I emailed them and said "Is your product something triathletes will care about?" The answer was, "Most certainly. Please come see us."

...So when's TL gonna post?
fun fact: hurricane katrina was capitalism's fault
the oil pipelines severely weakened the coastline to the point where it was basically a marsh
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Well the hurricane wasn't Capitalism's fault, the after effects and catastrophic kinda stuff was
That and the fact that they were morons for building a city below sea level
And yeah, Thunderz doesn't know anything about Communism
sasuke you are too much. your argument against people wanting to work for their society is "well look at all these black people who dont work!" do you have even a passing knowledge of the history of blacks in america.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Hmm, Thunderzlegacy's got anything to say? She's online and all
thunderz it's ok to admit that you're wrong. i used to be anti-communist/socialist too you know.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I like how you make fun of us capitalists while suggesting an ideology that actually reduces human progress to a standstill. Look at the cooperative native americans and african tribes, they were really technologically inclined Look at the USSR, they made it so the farmers didn't keep their food, it was all taken away. The farmers didn't work and grocery store's shelves were bare. When they finally did experiment with giving the farmers a plot for their family, the farmers only grew crops on that plot. The government was like "Well, why is this plot producing more than the average American farm, but the rest of the farm is in shambles?"
"Oh, that's my plot. Yeah, it's all for me and my family."
Capitalism allows so much more advancement, and yes it does weed out the nonproductive members of society, god forbid people who don't/can't work actually be poor. And don't go claiming the USA has capitalism, the USA is only capitalist in theory, the revolving door lobbyists and corporations getting handouts and all that other crap is actually socialist but socialist to rich people, not to everyone. So in essence you could say we are socialist, God, just not the kind you or I or anyone with a personal net value under one million would like.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Time Enough For Love, by Robert Heinlein
Blacks got shipped to America where they were slaves and worked all day on farms for no pay at all.
There. Please don't question this kinda stuff. I've passed the second grade once, don't test me twice.
Sasuke for the love of god please shut up.
"I prefer a sane world where you are rewarded by providing people with something they want. Not arbitrarily rewarded in a status game that reminds me of chimpanzees." - nazgulnarsil
Here I am with my empire
Ill bring you to your knees
Ebb and flow with my desire
Cause its all that youve been taught to be
Nothing I'm doing here is wrong, so please, instead of telling me to just shut up, provide some reason to how I'm wrong if you disagree. I won't just sit back and let some loser over the internet tell me what to do. If you think what I say/said is stupid or of no value, then go cry emo kid.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
You don't know any better, that's the point.
People have been pleanty specific. Your a retard, trying to debate among people who know what they are talking about. That's the whole point of what anyone has said to you. Weither you understand that or not, just leave this thread alone. You have no place in it
aww man, guys I would wish to revoke all previous statements about me banning certain members being right. i should have banned this guy. My bad
Hasn;t Global Warming been at least Partially debunked? There's a hole in the Ozone layer because the sun shines on one part of the world for half the year, this eats away at the Ozone and when the position of the earth moves enough, the hole heals and another one is formed in a different spot, repeat as needed.
Yes, but then there is a general weakening all around, as caused by biological sources. So, what this does, it is makes those holes much more pressed to heal up in time, and as time goes on it eats away at the entire ozone layer.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sptrsn Wonderful! This ancient tea eases the functioning organs of the body. In other words, you feel better on the inside. Because this has such a wonderful effect on internal organs, I like to drink it all day, but it doesn't taste that good. Combine with Jasmine and Mint tea, also add whatever you really like, to the mix. The mixed Tea gets me through that part of the afternoon when I get so tired. But I don't get tired when drinking this tea - and it's helped get me through the very difficult winter! Day after day I'm feeling better and better! Wonderful! March 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by emeraldiis wonderful taste I love this tea and I'm happy its available online. It has a strong yet smooth (not bitter) flavor. Great replacement for morning coffee January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NatureBoy One of the best/healthiest teas in the world. Firstly I am giving 5 stars for the tea itself. Puerh is an incredible tea that more people need to know about. As for the quality sold at the World Market, I am not too sure about although comparing by the taste, it seems legit. I have bought teas from a lot of places and I'd like to call myself a tea connoisseur. Since the label says it is from the Yunnan region, it must be good, IF that's true of course. Try this tea...Knock on wood, since I have started drinking it, I haven't been sick once. After the first cup, your anti-oxidant levels increase by a whooping 48%. It aids digestion so much that you can literally feel it. Good cholesterol rises, the bad falls. It cleanses the blood, it boosts your immune system, it helps the skin. (If you have acne problems, this will clear it faster than any medicine from the dermatologist will.) It is packed with vitamin C and multiple anti oxidants, so much that it beats fruits like blue berries and black berries. I can go on and on about the benefits from it but there are also some that haven't been discovered yet. Just know that you will have your natural energy % boosted, you will feel naturally good, you will look good, and you will live longer. Basically you feel immortal. As for brewing, the instructions on the back are way wrong. -You submerge the leaves in boiling water, dump the wash after about 10 seconds so that you can wash away any molds or harmful bacteria since it IS aged green tea. -Second, brew with boiling water anywhere from 20 seconds, up to 12 hours. You will not get the tannins that you will get from other teas. Even if you steep it over night, it will still be smooth in the morning. If you just want a regular cup, not something extra strong, then do 20 seconds, and increase by 15 seconds with each brew. -The times are not set at all. This tea is like wine. It depends on your taste buds, so play with it and see what you like better. September 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ilovedimples Great tea This tea is great iced or hot April 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tea Lover Excellent Energizer This is a really great tea, dark and flavorful. Yes, if it is over-steeped it will produce a fishy (freshwater) like odor, however, this is avoidable by sticking to 5 minutes or less steep time and/or steeping with water that has not quite reached a "whistle boil." The best part of this tea is the amazing energy that comes from just one or two cups and that also comes WITHOUT the crash one experiences with coffee for example. I have done some reading on this tea and it seems that there may be some evidence to suggest that it aids in weight loss and proper digestion, etc. I don't know if that is true or not, but if not it is still a delicious tea that has certainly got ME moving! March 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tea Lover in the South Pu-erh Loose Leaf Tea I love this tea. I took it on a trip to the beach this summer and shared it with my 3 year old grandson and 8 year old grand-daughter. They loved the taste and prefered it to sodas. With record high temps the tea was an easy fluid replacement for the children. I must add that while comical on our journey home grandad had to stop 3 times within the first hour for the 3 year old to go to the restroom..Grandad kept saying no more tea for the little man.... August 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by rayne A uniquely perfect tea Very unique tea. Goes beautifully with clover honey as a sweeter. Rinse with boiling water for 5 sec before seeping for 3 mins Add 2 mins for each additional infusion. April 2, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by tealover123456789 Amazing! i can not think of a better tea! March 13, 2011

Pringles, Coke, and Mount Everest: Family Trekking in Nepal
Story by Ann H. Waigand
When Joan and Will Weber, founders of tour operator, Journeys International, took their children Noah, aged 10, and Robin, 16, on trekking in Nepal in 1998, they told their children -- as they do all families who anticipate trekking in Nepal -- to expect to find the Nepalese people "gentle, open, warm and friendly." But no one had prepared Robin for their other strengths.
"The sherpas (who haul bags and equipment and set up tented camps) fly by us with these really heavy packs," Robin noted in her trip diary, "and though they left WAY after us, they still arrived before us to set up camp!"
Even at the top of one of the steepest climbs, a sherpa's wife came down the trail to meet the family, carrying cokes and Pringles. "You're saving my life!" gushed Noah.
Overwhelmingly, the Webers recommend Nepal as a destination for families, particularly because of the potential for learning and discoveries.
"There is no better place for learning the lesson, that people all over the world, despite initial appearances, are really more like us than they are different," says Will.
Besides, the mountain walks and challenges are great for personal growth and family bonding. When Will and Joan took Noah and Robin to Nepal, they were celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Journeys, a tour company they started in 1978 by posting notices around the University of Michigan and escorting their first group to Nepal.
At Namche, the family celebrated an anniversary party in decidedly sherpa style. "The party was called for 4:00," remembers Robin. "But the first guest didn't come until 6:00, because that's just how things work here.
After dinner, all the sherpas starting giving out cahtas, long, white, silk ceremonial scarves and started doing their traditional dancing, a little like Israeli dancing except that they chanted their own music and were less animated.
They caught us off guard by asking if we had any songs or dances to do. We did "Home on the Range," since it was the first thing that came to mind, and then the "Hokey Pokey," my idea and actually a big hit, though we felt kind of stupid doing it!
So what made the biggest impression on Noah? "I think the motto of the Navy Seals applies well, 'The only easy day was yesterday,'" wrote Noah in his journal, after hiking from Namche to Tengboche.
Though the walk, described by Joan as "one of the world's most beautiful," presents views of Mount Everest at every turn, Noah's mother agrees that it is, indeed, a tough uphill climb. Had Noah been a bit younger, he might have "hitched a ride" up the mountain; children under 50 pounds are often carried by the sherpa guides in specially-designed porter baskets. Still, Noah made the walk on his own two feet and came out at the end stronger and more confident in himself.
Though Joan and Noah headed down the mountain after Tengboche, Robin trekked on with her father and their fellow travelers.
"Our group made it all the way to the highest point on Kalapathar, 18,800 feet, which Dad hadn't been to before. We saw almost all of the southwest face of Everest, including base camp, the Khumbu ice fall and glacier and South Col (the spot for the highest camp on Everest). The sky was so amazingly deep blue, the snow and ice so crisply, refreshingly white, and hardly a cloud in the sky. Wow!"
Flying back, Will reflected on "a superb and exhilarating experience." "We had a full moon, blooming rhododendrons, Passover, Easter, the Nepali New Year, Journeys' 20th anniversary and a birthday, all observed with some specific ceremony and ritual," wrote Will. And while Joan and Will feel sure that Robin and Noah will have equally profound memories, Robin's journal reflects a true 16-year-old's outlook, "we're done. I'm clean...I ate real pizza. I feel totally satisfied with the whole experience."
Journeys International operates a scheduled Annapurna Family Trek in Nepal, generally planned around Christmas or Easter holidays. Special prices apply for youths 12 - 15 and children under 12. Independent family treks can also be arranged throughout the year.

A 14-mile relay run by Delaware State University and Dover High School students from Sandtown in southwest Kent County to Brecknock Park in Camden will be among the events that honor the 100th anniversary of the death of Underground Railroad engineer Harriet Tubman throughout the state this weekend.
The relay is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Sunday in Sandtown and end up at Brecknock by noon, said Penny Marshall, chairwoman of Harriet Tubman Journey. The Harriet Tubman Journey was created by volunteers to pay homage to the abolitionist, who led runaway slaves through Delaware as part of their journey to freedom in Canada, she said.
"To pay respects to the byway that's been created throughout the state, it tracks the area that they believe she traveled in," Marshall told Camden Town Council Monday night.
Camden's relay event is one of the culminating 10 events held in 10 days throughout the First State's Underground Railroad Byway, Marshall said. Delaware State University President Dr. Harry Williams will meet the students at Brecknock Park. In addition, DelDOT will escort the student runners for safety purposes, she said.
Camden Mayor W.G. Edmanson said he was proud of the part Camden and its local families played in Tubman's abolitionist activities.
Later in the meeting, Camden Town Manager Aaron Chaffinch read a proclamation in which the mayor and Town Council declared March 10, 2013 as Harriet Tubman Day in the historic town of Camden. Edmanson then formally signed the proclamation.
In addition to Sunday's events, Friends of Historic Camden have paired up with Zion AME Church and Camden Friends Meeting to hold events that highlight Camden's vital link in the Underground Railroad, Friends of Historic Camden member Tracey Green said.
People can learn about the Civil War Colored Infantry from 10:30 a.m. to noon Saturday at 20 Center St. in Camden, followed by guided walking tours from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the corner of Main Street and Center Street, she said. Saturday's events culminate with a tour of the historic Camden Friends Meeting House, which played a role in the Underground Railroad.

Found some "prints" of the 180 but the upper isnt a standard size of tubing and I fugure its all going to be oddball so ive started redrawing it to standard size and to use a Ar15 bolt.
You can weld aluminum, so why not make one from aluminum.
Yes, I was ridiculed on another forum over a year ago because I dared to try welding aluminum with my little 110V mig welder and a tank of argon.
It's not that hard really. It's not easy. But it's not impossible.
I'm doing a tutorial on another forum. Building a 10/22 receiver from scratch.
Have milled thru the welds and as long as you pre-heat with a propane torch you get good solid welds with no porosity.
Not quite finished yet. Still need to do some touch ups in a few spots and belt sand it smooth.
Go ahead and bash away, I've heard it all before.
It will never feed aluminum wire (no problem), it will crack (no cracking) etc. etc. etc.
My mig must have special properties, LOL.
.035 aluminum wire. You can find the small spools on eBay for around $10 and free shipping.
Here is how I mounted it inside my welder. Used a long deck screw to hold it.
Wire speed is on 10 (10 out of 10), otherwise I burn up the tips.
I'm going to try to borrow some CO2 mix and see what kind of results I get.
Be advised, aluminum is affected by gravity, meaning if you are running your puddle the aluminum can get so soft that you end up with a blob heading straight for the floor. I backed it up with another aluminum block to keep it from drooping.
