Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater
Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

West Brom 1 Fulham 2: Kacaniklic grabs winner as Jol's men stun Baggies
Fireworks outside the Fulham team hotel made New Year's Eve an uncomfortable night for Martin Jol but a sparkling performance by Dimitar Berbatov helped his team claim only their second away win of the season.
A resolute and effective display lifted the mood of Jol, who was non-plussed when revellers outside the Hyatt hotel in Birmingham gathered for a late celebration.
'To have an away win under our belts on the first day of the new year is fantastic, particularly after what happened last night,' he said.
Calmly done: Alexander Kacaniklic scored the winner for Fulham away to West Brom
Match facts
West Brom: Foster, Jones, Tamas, McAuley, Ridgewell, Brunt (Thorne 84), Mulumbu, Gera (Long 65), Morrison, Fortune (Odemwingie 65), Lukaku.

'There were 2,000 people outside at a fireworks display. In fairness, they were the best fireworks I've ever seen.
'It kept the players up as well. I thought it was supporters, but it wasn't. It had clearly been arranged for a long time.
'My personal assistant booked the hotel but didn't know there was a big celebration. There was a lot of noise for about 15-20 minutes but after that everybody went home.'
Jol said those words with a smile. But he was less than impressed with a line of questioning focusing on Berbatov's contribution.
The former Manchester United star scored the first goal, played with such beautiful simplicity and worked hard, too.
'I don't want to talk about him all the time because other players will get annoyed,' said Jol. 'If you don't get the results, people pick on him. If you do get results, then you will say he's fantastic. I'm very happy he is playing for us.' A low-key first-half was lifted shortly before the interval.
In front: Dimitar Berbatov opened the scoring for Fulham as they recorded an impressive win
This was the ultimate advert for how managers should behave towards match officials. There was little need for referee Mike Dean to speak to either captain at any stage. There wasn't even a booking.
The closest anyone came to dissent was a moment towards the end when Dimitar Berbatov was clearly time-wasting.
But Dean added on an extra minute's play to take account of the extra few seconds that the Manchester United star wasted.
WBA Respect rating: 10
Fulham Respect rating: 9
Berbatov flighted a 30-yard pass out to Ashkan Dejagah on the right. The Iran midfielder cut inside Liam Ridgewell and pulled the ball back to Berbatov, who side-footed the ball past unsighted West Bromwich keeper Ben Foster.
Albion were level four minutes after
half-time, though, when right back Billy Jones beat Fulham's Matthew
Briggs and set up Romelu Lukaku, who slotted the ball into an empty net
from six yards. The home side then looked the more likely to win the
Lukaku thumped a shot against the woodwork but the turning point came when Youssouf Mulumbu was sent clean through, only for David Stockdale to save. James Morrison hit the post following up and Chris Brunt's shot was headed off the line by Aaron Hughes.
Within seconds, Fulham had retaken the lead. Bryan Ruiz, whose main contribution before then was to have matched an orange pair of boots to Fulham's away strip, picked out Alexander Kacaniklic.
Level pegging: Romelu Lukaku equalised for West Brom minutes into the second half
The Swede controlled the ball, Gabriel Tamas misjudged his challenge, Jones failed to get close enough and Foster was caught in no-man's land. Kacaniklic rolled the ball into the net for his third of the season.
The hosts pressed for an equaliser and Jones had a late effort cleared by Hughes, but Fulham held on.
Battle: Giorgos Karagounis (left) with Steve Sidwell (right) and James Morrison
Outside the two Manchester clubs, West Bromwich have taken more points at home than anyone else this season and boss Steve Clarke said: 'We have set really high standards at home. Both their goals were disappointing — they were certainly avoidable.
'The first was a counter-attack, we got caught. The second, we just switched off. We were so far on top in the game it just looked as if we were going to go 2-1 up and we were caught cold.'

Pigs flew and aliens came to earth, all because of the kids at the Aiken Center for the Arts This Summer Belongs to Us camps made it so.
For five weeks this summer, students got to explore "art across the globe," create "odd animals," "discover (their) imagination" and more.
The focal theme is based on a hit Disney cartoon that features two stepbrothers going on adventures with the use of their imaginations, according to Mandy Woodhouse, program manager.
Each week has played upon this theme.
Odd Animals ... Platypus, Monkeys and More!, which took place from July 8 to 12, was a particularly very crowded week.
"We had to move kids around," Woodhouse said. "So many kids wanted to do the platypuses, monkeys and giraffes – the odd-looking animals."
Pierre, a mustached platypus, centers as the camp's mascot.
This year, an overflow camp had to be tacked on.
"We had so many kids on the waiting list," Woodhouse said on adding the extra week.
To help with all the costs, the community swept in and gave in its support.
It started three weeks before camp started, Woodhouse said.
She posted on Facebook a request for items like paper towels, toilet paper, aluminum cans – "junk."
The support then rushed in.
Every year, Connie's Framing and Baker Family Dentistry have made their contributions. This year was no exception.
Members from MOMs Club have paid for their friends' kids' registrations without their friends' knowing. Two of them also paid for their friends' children's T-shirts.
Lowe's donated wood. Allegra Printing donated paper. Cyndi's Sweet Shop donated bottle caps and bottles.
Aiken Downtown Development Association and Aiken Regional Medical Centers collected supplies for the center, as well as the center getting in constant supplies from random individuals.
Whit Gibbons called one day to say he wanted to give a free wildlife talk during one of the camps.
Only around 40 scholarships have been used versus a normal average of 65, and just about every camper has been able to get a T-shirt.
This is due to people calling, messaging through Facebook or coming in and wanting to sponsor or purchase a T-shirt for a child.
"I didn't ask for any of this ... I don't understand," Woodhouse said. "(But) I'm getting to see the real Aiken ... I couldn't have asked for more for my first summer art camp as program manager."
The camps are labeled as fine arts camps.
For this, teachers expose their students to different mediums like clay, painting and drawing.
While the students learn these new crafts, they learn about famous artists, as well.
One artist Joy McKee exposed her students to this summer was Henri Matisse. She taught about Matisse using the artist's book from "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists" series.
The teachers then implement what they taught in their lessons towards their crafts that day.
Matisse is easy to teach to younger children, for example, because he tends to cut out shapes for his artwork, Woodhouse said.
Seven teachers rotated amongst the age groups.
Three of those teachers were new, Woodhouse said.
"They are all working really well together. I actually had a few parents whose kids come every year that said the atmosphere feels different, and I'm glad for that," she said.
Petty has been teaching summer art camps for two years.
A goal of Woodhouse's was to have the staff to be more of "a family element" this year, and Petty has noticed that it's certainly been more "upbeat."
During the year, Petty teaches pottery in addition to being the gallery store manager.
High school-aged students from ACA's homeschool program and college-age students were brought in to help out with the camps.
Rising eighth grader Alexis Young is one of those students.
As an assistant, she helps the kids with the projects and whatever else is needed.
"I really like working with the little kids. They are so sweet," she said.
On July 24, she was winding Christine Lawrence's class down with Katie Westover by reading Alyssa Satin Capucilli's "Katy Duck is a Caterpillar."
Young participated as a camper last year.
Down the hall, camper J. Strom Thurmond was learning from McGee perspective by cutting out and arranging birds.
"She taught us how do art by overlapping like artists," he said. "It was very fun this summer."
Assisting McGee was Tamara Younca.
Younca's first teaching interaction at ACA was assisting during this year's spring break.
This summer, she taught and assisted with the camps.
Assisting helps "to get the basic ground rules of where everything is" and some little techniques.
"It's been really awesome (here)," she said. "It's like the only thing I've really ever wanted to do with my life."
The Summer Camp Art Show exhibit will be on display until Aug. 24.

I'm taking progesterone supplements (vaginal) every night before bed. I am 7 weeks pregnant. i was reading the pamphlet last night just for the heck of it and notcied that the possible side effects were nausea, breast tenderness, increased urination.... um aren't those PREGNANCY symptoms? how do i know i'm what i'm feeling is b/c of a healthy pregnancy or b/c the progesterone is having an effect on my body?
i haven't had a viablity ultrasound yet-- i go monday to see the heartbeat.... and i thought since i'm having crazy nausea starting 4:00 every single day, fatigue, moodiness, CRAZY painful and swollen breasts that most likely things are going just fine. but what if what i'm feeling is the progesterone?
could it be that bad?
listen, if i were reading this post from someone else i 'd be like girl you are pregnant and you have pregnancy symptoms it isn't the progesterone..... but i need some advice here.
I miscarried in March. this time around i asked my doc if i could take some progesterone... more as an emotional crutch than anything. he said fine and i started it around week 5. didn't start the nausea until week 6.
thanks in advance.

I guess you can say I'm a PS3 fan
boy girl. I will give you that much. I've never been one for the XBOX, but I've always given it a fair shot; I mean, it does have some good things about it. However.
So this is my story. I own a PS3 and I love it, especially the controllers. I was housesitting for a week where I played the XBOX for at least three hours per day. After playing, my hands hurt so bad from being so misaligned on the controller, and having to reach for the D-pad that I could barely move my thumbs after playing. We're in the year 2008 now, you would think that controllers would be more ergonomic as a whole, and while Sony & Nintendo have bucked up to the challenge, the XBOX controller is about as inconvenient as a period on prom night.
Those are just my thoughts. Until tomorrow.

The seahawks acquisition of harvin has me worried. Harvin and Wilson will be a great duo as their strengths reinforce each others. Wilson is a scrambler and Harvin is a speedy shifty receiver who will have a lot of time to gain separation from CBs due to Wilson's ability to extend plays.
That's where Roby comes in. A CB from USC, roby is very undersized but contains elite coverage ability and plays bigger than he is. If Roby was 6 feet he would be a 1st round choice. I think he would be perfect for covering harvin and other small slot receivers. If Wilson extends plays against us, I am confident that Roby will be able to stick to Harvin like glue
He could be had in middle to late rounds but he is underrated so he could go sooner. Thoughts?

Well, thank the stars above, I have found my new love, LAIT CRU, raw milk! Sold at my local cheese store, "Fromagerie Pascal Beillevaire". It is fresh milk from a cow (I know, a novel concept) and it has not been flashed in a pan, pasteurized, heated, or manipulated. Just plain and simple, rich and delicious, full of fat, pure milk like nature intended, and sold vachement cold. I was in the middle of a typical cheese buying frenzy when I spied bottles of milk like the ones from the old fashioned days hiding in the chilly fridge section nestled up against pots of homemade yogurt and my favorite chocolate mousse (to die for!) and now I am addicted.
Perhaps I should explain. I grew up on a farm with cows in the rural Idaho panhandle. Mom would be out milking our cows and as a small tottering child I would take a tin cup and scoop out a warm cupful and drink it on the spot. Rich and delicious, not everyone's cup of tea, but for me, that is my nourishing milk memory. Some kinds of thirst are hard to quench, so you can imagine how exciting this really is for me!
This morning, I had gourmet cookies from "Mariage Frères", which means the married brothers, kind of weird name I know, but they make these fabulous butter cookies with tea inside. I washed them down with a big glass of raw milk…it was rich and creamy and tasty and stuck to my teeth. Milk heaven. Tonight, just to over-indulge, I heated some up Lait Cru, and added cocoa mix and a squirt of whipped cream. It's 34° outside and only about ten degrees more in our apartment. Delicious: I think I found my new fixation in France, and I finally feel at home.
If you are in Paris, you must go and try Pascal's fluffy velvety rich chocolate mousse. I happened to be in the fromagerie one day (not a surprise since I go there 3 times a week) when the big cheese boss (don't know if it was Pascal or Jérôme) came in. The black beret-wearing shopkeeper who knows that I am obsessed with his chocolate mousse (sometimes he teases me and says that they are sold out) introduced me to the cheese boss and said "This is the man that makes your favorite chocolate mousse". I repeatedly bowed down to him with outspread arms and chanted "My God, My God! Mon Dieu, Mon Dieu!" My husband was extremely embarrassed, but the cheese guru was elated.

Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time" was rejected by 26 publishers before it was published in 1962. In the 50 years hence, her marvelous blend of teenage quest, science fiction and Christian allegory has become a classic of children's literature.
In celebration of the book's 50th year, Leonard Marcus offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of L'Engle, through interviews with relatives, friends, editors, authors she mentored and more.
The Q&A approach results in a chorus of voices that will likely be of interest chiefly to L'Engle fans. It is also instructive as a profile, setting the record straight about someone whose popular Crosswicks Journals presented an idealized version of her marriage and family life, a truth revealed in Cynthia Zarin's bombshell 2004 New Yorker profile.
One can see in L'Engle's own adolescence the feeling of displacement experienced by her heroine Meg Murry in "A Wrinkle in Time." "Madeleine in the Making" reveals L'Engle as a loner in her youth, a gawky, tall girl, the only child of a writer and a pianist, a New York outsider among her Florida relatives, left by her emotionally distant parents with a nanny, or later, delivered without advance warning to a Swiss boarding school.
She began her professional life as an actress and met her husband, Hugh Franklin (who played Dr. Charles Tyler on "All My Children"), while both were touring in a production of "The Cherry Orchard." "A Wrinkle in Time" was her seventh work of fiction, published when she was 42 years old.
Some interesting tidbits mined from various chapters:
*James Gross Giblin recalls the editor at Lothrop Lee & Shepard who rejected "A Wrinkle in Time" because she "just couldn't go along with all the religion business."
*Novelist Katharine Weber recalls L'Engle as a generous mentor to a struggling author. She witnessed L'Engle writing in her Tower at her Connecticut farmhouse, Crosswicks, where she would swivel between her computer keyboard and her electric piano keyboard to play Bach or Brahms for a break to think about her writing.
*Sandra Jordan, former editor-in-chief of children's books at Farrar Straus Giroux (and who hated the New Yorker profile), offers fascinating background about L'Engle's actual writing process, the multiple drafts, her meticulous attention to detail.
*Brown University mathematics professor Thomas Banchoff, whose expertise on multiple dimensions was sought for a film version of "Wrinkle," offers his analysis of L'Engle's "tesseract" idea, entering a fourth dimension to travel from one spot in the universe to another.
The final interview is with Zarin, who says she had long admired L'Engle's work and had planned to write an appreciation for the New Yorker, then was shocked to discover how much L'Engle had fictionalized her life in her memoirs.
In his foreword, Marcus recalls a 2002 interview with L'Engle, who was in a wheelchair after suffering a stroke. She mentioned her correspondence with a fan of "A Wrinkle in Time" who was ill with cancer. "My books are not bad books to die with," L'Engle told Marcus. "What I mean is that when I read a book, if it makes me feel more alive, then it's a good book to die with. That is why certain books last."

This article assesses the recent use of contractarian strategies for the justification of cosmopolitan distributive principles. It deals in particular with the cosmopolitan critique of political membership and tries to reject the claim that political communities are arbitrary for the scope of global justice. By focusing on the circumstances of justice, the nature of the parties, the veil of ignorance, and the sense of justice, the article tries to show that the cosmopolitan critique of political membership modifies the contractarian premises in a way that is both unwarranted and unnecessary. While failing to establish principles of global distributive justice, existing cosmopolitan adaptations of the social contract device simply weaken the method's justificatory potential.
Earlier versions of this article were presented at the University of Essex Political Theory Conference and at the conference on "The Social and the Political" at the European University Institute. I am grateful to participants at these events, as well as to Renato Caputo, Bob Goodin, Katrin Flikschuh, Peter Wagner, Jonathan White, the editors and referees of The Review of Politics for their excellent comments and suggestions.

For nature lovers, UNESCO-listed Khao Yai national park is one of Asia's best. Spanning some 2,168 square kilometres over three provinces, Thailand's grandest and oldest national park is home to thriving communities of plants and wildlife along with stunning jungle, mountains and waterfalls, all accessible from a sizable network of roads, hiking trails, cabins and campsites.
Still, many who make the trip have little idea how to approach the park from a logistical standpoint. Unlike Khao Sok national park down south, or the majority of Thailand's major destinations for that matter, tourist infrastructure near the park is almost exclusively aimed at local Thai travellers. The area lacks that strip of guesthouses and travel companies solely focusing on getting foreign travellers what they need.
The good news is that, while a bit of a challenge, Khao Yai is still very much doable for foreign, independent-minded travellers.
Approaching the park
The main entrance to Khao Yai is on the north side of the park in Nakhon Ratchasima province, some 20 kilometres south of the town of Pak Chong. The majority of hotels near the park are in this area, particularly along route 2090 (aka Thanarat Road), which shoots directly from Pak Chong down to the Khao Yai gates.
Khao Yai's southern entrance -- the "back door" -- lies some 60 kilometres northeast of the city of Nakhon Nayok. Although there are a few resorts just outside the southern gates, your best bet (assuming you don't have your own wheels) is to catch a bus or minibus to Pak Chong town and make your arrangements from there.
As there are no travel companies in Pak Chong to take your hand like they do in other places, it may take some effort to find your way. However, rest assured that the town has everything you need -- hotels and guesthouses, markets, restaurants, car and motorbike rental, taxis for hire, train, bus and minibus stations, and cheap public transport that can take you right to the Khao Yai gates.
Khao Yai option # 1: On foot
If wanting to do the park independently without hiring a vehicle, it is possible to see a good amount on foot. Large songthaews shuttle travellers from the centre of Pak Chong to the Khao Yai gates throughout the day, which is the cheapest way to get there. Keep in mind, however, that taking a songthaew would entail hitching or huffing the 10-plus kilometres from the front gates to the visitor centre, and another two kilometres to reach the campgrounds.
National park vehicles and private motorists are likely willing to let a few backpackers hop on board as they pass, but if wanting to avoid that whole situation, private pick-up truck taxis may be caught from the centre of Pak Chong. These can bring you all the way to the visitor centre or campground for around 300 baht, but be sure to arrange for pick up if wanting the same service on the way out.
Cabins are available for rent behind the visitor centre or a couple of kilometres further south in the quieter Thanarat zone, and there are also two picturesque campgrounds, Lam Takong and Pha Kluai Mai. A network of hiking trails, which include one leading to Heo Suwat waterfall (made famous by the Leonardo DiCaprio flick, The Beach), are easily accessed from all of the above accommodation zones, but the campgrounds are especially central with major trails beginning at each of them. Both campgrounds are in idyllic settings, perfect for enjoying Khao Yai the slow and relaxed way.
Keep in mind that hiking the trails without a guide after 15:00 is not recommended; you don't want to get lost and end up stuck in the jungle overnight. Certified private guides can be arranged at the visitor centre for 500 baht per three hours.
As for food, restaurants run by the national park serve basic Thai fare at all accommodation zones, although hours are limited. A handful of convenience stores sell water and other necessities in several points throughout the park.
If you've got the time, patience and energy to do some serious hiking, setting up camp and relying only on your two feet to get around is a great way to see Khao Yai. However, one spot that would be beyond the reach for most hikers is the park's largest and most impressive waterfall, Haew Narok, which is situated far to the southern end of the park. If heading in and out by taxi, you might negotiate a side-trip to Haew Narok as it really should not be missed.
Khao Yai option # 2: On wheels
It may be expensive, but Khao Yai is particularly conducive to exploring by car. A main road snakes through the park from north to south along with a handful of rugged side roads, and virtually all of the trails, viewpoints, waterfalls and other sights can be accessed from these roads. Depending on your budget, you might have to miss the full day treks and camping experience, but a single full day with a car is enough to see all the highlights and leave you feeling like Khao Yai has been covered.
Cars may be rented for 1,500 baht per day at Rimtarninn Hotel, which is easy to find near the centre of Pak Chong (you'll need a passport and international driver's license). As already mentioned, pick-up truck taxis are also available in Pak Chong centre for those who would prefer someone else do the driving. For 1,500 baht, a taxi will spend a full day taking you anywhere you wish to go.
Going by motorbike is an adventurous option that's nowhere near as pricey as renting a car and doesn't limit you in terms of distance. Motorbikes can be rented at Petch Motors near the centre of Pak Chong town. There's no sign in English, but Petch is a motorbike sales shop occupying the bottom floor of a three-storey white building with tinted blue windows on the upper floors, right next to Memorial Hospital (on the right if heading east away from the centre of town where the night market sets up). They speak English and are happy to rent out bikes for 300 baht per day, but be sure to fuel up at a station just outside the park -- you might even consider bringing along some extra fuel and a funnel if wanting to spend more than a day exploring without leaving the park.
Khao Yai opion # 3: On tour
If all of the above sounds too tricky, several tour companies offer programmes to fit differing interests and budgets. We've received several positive first-hand accounts from customers of budget-minded Green Leaf Tour, which also run a quality budget guesthouse along the road from Pak Chong to Khao Yai. They run a particularly flexible operation that can pick you up at the bus stop or train station in Pak Chong and shuttle you straight to their guesthouse or onto one of their pick-up trucks for a guided tour.
It's also worth mentioning that it's not necessary to go exclusively independent or exclusively with a tour program. We talked to a handful of travellers who took the half-day Greenleaf tour, but asked to be dropped at one of the campgrounds instead of being shuttled back to the guesthouse outside the park. They enjoyed three days and nights of hiking the park on their own and sleeping to the sounds of the jungle, arranging for the tour company to pick them up when they were good and ready to move on. This seems like a good option, especially considering the tour company is willing to arrange transport for customers who took the tour days earlier.
Other points to consider
No matter which option you choose, don't forget to pop into the brand new visitor centre, which we must say is nothing short of a proper science and nature museum in the heart of the park. It would seem that handing out maps and information at the front gates would be a good idea, but for some reason these are only available at the visitor centre. Unless you can produce a Thai work permit, the entrance fee to Khao Yai for foreigners is 400 baht, good for one entrance only.
While bicycles are currently only rented for use by some resorts within their grounds outside the park, we learned of a group planning to open a bike rental and cycling tour operation in the Khao Yai area. If you're a cyclist reading this a little down the track, you may want to investigate whether it managed to get off the ground.
Finally, although Khao Yai is the main draw in this area, a great deal to see lies in the general vicinity outside the park. If you can manage it, the Khao Yai wine country and Chet Sao Noi waterfall in Muak Lek to the west, and mountainous Wang Nam Kiew to the east are each worth a side-trip.
And there you have it: whether you choose to see it independently, as part of a tour, or a little of each, majestic Khao Yai national park is beckoning. Don't forget your hiking shoes, and keep quiet -- an elephant may be lurking behind that tree!

Buddy of mine works at a surplus store that purchased a bunch of Lincoln Hobby-Weld fixed 50 amp welders from an auction. Everyone they sold the units to has returned them as defective so he told me I could have them for free. My son is a welding shop foreman and he checked them out and they all work, but not well. Running the 1/16" recommended Lincoln rod a very short bead causes all the units to stop arcing and the bead has to be restarted.
We really don't need these things so my question is can the problem be solved so I can sell them or are there any other uses these toy weldering machine could be converted to?
Thanks in advance
I may be wrong and I have never sold anything on Ebay but don't you think I would get a lot of negative feed back? I'd be worried that my first sale on Ebay might be my last.
What is the output voltage? Might make a really great power supply. Regulate the input with feedback from the output. Add a diode and use it for plating or rust removal? Glenn
Then email ME, and I'll take one off your hands for just the postage ;-)
That way you will not have sold it but Donated it to a better cause ;-))
Seriously THINK about it PLEASE, I could do with one of them.
What ever all the best
Not necessarily. The way to get negative feedback is to deceive your buyer. If you explain the situation up front just as you have explained it here I see no reason why anyone should complain. Start them at $1 each and include a reasonable shipping cost so the buyer knows what it will cost them up front and you may be surprised at how well they sell.
I've bought things on eBay that I knew were bad because I felt I had a reasonably good chance of either fixing it or using parts from it. In every case I got exactly what was describes so I was happy and left positive feedback.
Best Regards, Keith Marshall firstname.lastname@example.com
"I'm not grown up enough to be so old!"
Since you ARE in Canada as well, and depending where you are in Canada, I would definitely be willing to check one out and see what it can do. After all, you did get four (4) of them for free, so maybe we can work something out.
My son says the machine are not really defective in the true sense of the word, just extremely limited in what they can do. A 50 amp fixed setting really makes them all but useless if you work with different thicknesses of metal. It's obvious to me that these things get returned because even a skilled professional welder has to play around a lot to get the arc to started and keep it running. Trying to get the machine to duplicate the type of welding the manual tells you the machine is capable of doing, would be a total waste of time, it's just not practical to expect such a small machine to do that type of work. Great for tacking etc. but that's about it.
2 of the 4 machines machines have burned and cracked electrode holders and a missing carring handle covers but if anyone wants to make me an offer the machines are located in South Western Ontario
I am also in Southwestern Ontario. Just outside of Windsor, actually. I was considering buying one of those things back in the day before I got my current welder. I just got sick of Canadian Tire never having anything in stock, so I went elsewhere to get a different welder altogether. E-Mail me with what you are looking to get for one and where you are located and I am sure we can figure something out.

Can Dubai Come Back? 4 commentsJul 14, 2009 5:59 PM
It's official: the recession has hit the United Arab Emirates, especially Dubai, hard. Well, maybe not official official, but I'm convinced. It's not always easy to tell what's happening in that part of the world. With rampant intermingling of public and private funds and little transparency over who owns and owes what, appearances can be deceiving.
Most of the economic and business numbers have been pretty grim, but losses can easily be moved around, as in a game of three-card monte. For every big real estate project mothballed or scrubbed during the past six months, other highly visible projects like the Dubai Metro have continued apace, and new ones are still being announced. Even as property values started to spiral downwards and huge property companies began to look distinctly wobbly towards the end of last year, there was still so much cash sloshing around and so many big projects still being announced and built the picture was pretty unclear.
Dubai, which has built a gleaming 21st-century economy based on real estate, trade, and services literally on a patch of desert sand, has for so long defied common logic and perhaps even the laws of physics, and has produced such contradictory news since the onset of the financial crisis and recession, we might as well have tried to figure things out by reading our coffee grounds.
When the UAE government in February announced a new $100-billion project to build 80,000 new housing units in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to accommodate rising demand, there was at least a temptation to suspend disbelief. When the chairman of a large industrial group in Sharjah was quoted as saying that industrial investment was booming: "Recently, investors have been keen to invest in new areas. A lot of these investors have chosen the industrial sector, increasing the number of licenses, industrial facilities, workers, and types of industrial facilities. This clearly shows that the UAE is not exclusive to real estate investment, but is also active in all sectors," I thought maybe there was something to his argument.
Turns out, there was not. A recent UAE-wide poll revealed that one in ten people in the country have lost their jobs over the past six months. Half of those polled said their companies have cut their workforce and a quarter say some of their co-workers have been required to take unpaid leave.
The real scale of job losses may be even higher. The UAE economy is built on an expatriate work force, ranging from Bengali and Pakistani laborers to highly-paid American and European investment bankers. Only 20 per cent of the total population of around three million are citizens; most of the rest are there on temporary work permits. If you are a non-citizen the law requires you to leave within a month if you lose your job. This gives the UAE economy a safety valve of sorts by reducing unemployment compensation claims, but it can also have a devastating ripple effect as the job losses in the hardest-hit sectors – construction and property – produce more losses in a whole range of other industries. At the beginning of this year some analysts feared that the UAE population might drop by as much as eight per cent. Now this seems optimistic.
In what may be the most telling sign, the expected completion date of the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building, has been pushed back from September to December. The developer, Emaar, has been close-mouthed about the details, and is now trying to get itself taken over by Dubai Holdings, though the financial situation of Dubai Holdings is hard to read, given the proportion of its assets held in land, probably not marked to market. Other property companies are also said to be trying to merge. And Nakheel, another huge property company, which two years ago acquired the QE2 for £50 million, has temporarily abandoned plans to refurbish and reopen it as a luxury floating hotel moored to Palm Island, and now intends to send it back out on the high seas.
True, it's not all about property. The overall UAE economy, of which oil still accounts for a third, is expected to contract by only 1% this year, and could well rebound in 2010. This may, however, signal a shift in the economic center of gravity back to Abu Dhabi, which produces about 85% of the Emirates' oil and which has always dominated politically. But even if oil keeps the UAE economy from sinking, the boom times are unlikely to return soon. Until then, I would give investments there a fairly wide berth. Given the interlocking nature of UAE companies, when you buy a share of one it's hard to know who else's hidden risks and liabilities you're buying too.
Still, if Dubai's recent history tells us anything it's that anything is possible. If you can get British tourists to fly halfway around the world to lie on a beach in 120-degree heat this is literally true. So I wouldn't entirely write off Dubai. Certainly not yet.Back To Chip Krakoff's Instablog HomePage »

Yes, there's lots to worry about in Dubai and the UAE, but I agree, it's far from being written off yet. There are still plenty of traffic jams to get stuck in, indicating not everyone has gone home. I disagree with your comment about Emaar trying to get taken over by Dubai Holding. Although information is typically opaque from Emaar, my feeling is that Emaar are likely to be a reluctant participant in the merger rather than the instigator.
Dubai will take a back seat for a while. The people who used to invest in dubai in the past are looking else were to invest their money especially in American Companies. They are really cheap right now. Why would anyone invest their money in dubai where there is no transparency what so ever.
You may be right about Emaar, though my guess is they are technically insolvent and would like to leave someone else holding the bag when all the angry creditors start knocking at the door. But that's just my guess...

In my personal opinion Dubai is just in an urgent need for enforcing the rules and laws in all sorts of areas which is very important for a successful country or a region.

By John B. SnyderJuly 22, 2013
WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. -- When former Arsenal Commander Col. Mark F. Migaleddi took command of the Watervliet Arsenal three years ago, he knew then that when he relinquished command in 2013 that it would be a historic event. Not because of the success he may have achieved shaping the arsenal for future generations, but because his eventual change of command would coincide with the arsenal's 200th anniversary.
With the backdrop of Soldiers from New York's Army National Guard holding flags and organizational colors, Col. Lee H. Schiller Jr. took command Thursday of the 200-year-old Army manufacturing center from Migaleddi in a formal Army ceremony called a Change of Command. The official party, consisting of Migaleddi and Schiller, was led by Maj. Gen. Michael J. Terry, the commanding general of TACOM Life Cycle Management Command.
This was the arsenal's 58th change of command since 1813. On July 14, 2013, the arsenal celebrated 200 years of continuous support to our nation's military.
This colorful ceremony formally restates to Soldiers and to Department of the Army Civilians the continuity of command by denoting the transfer of authority. The ceremony holds a special significance in that it honors the outgoing commander after a successful command and also serves as a welcome to the incoming commander. This event is symbolized in the ceremonial passing of the Organizational Colors before the assembled members of the command.
In his remarks, Terry praised the arsenal's workforce, its 200-year history, as well as had kind words for Migaleddi.
"For 200 years, the arsenal has produced the weapons, parts, and material that helped hundreds of thousands of our nation's war fighters to come home safely," Terry said. "We are proud of who you are and what you do to make our Army the best equipped quality force in the world."
"Today, we bid farewell to a tremendous leader who has served as your commander for the past three years," Terry said. "Mark Migaleddi's most important qualities and achievements during his time as arsenal commander are his heart, his passion for his people, and his efforts to maintain workload with the right-sized workforce, while ensuring minimal impacts to employees and their families, especially during these times of fiscal uncertainty."
Migaleddi said during the ceremony that when he first saw the arsenal's history pictorially captured on a timeline, he was humbled.
"The fact the arsenal has played a major role in every military conflict since the War of 1812 and has always used the latest in technology, from the Erie Canal to state-of-the-art lathes, is truly a significant achievement," Migaleddi said. "I challenge anyone to name any military manufacturer or defense contractor that can boast 200 years of continuous service to our military."
Migaleddi also praised the community's effort to honor our nation's fallen troops, as well as our current military.
"The monthly ceremonies in Albany and Rensselaer counties display an unwavering dedication to not allow memories of brave men and women who have given their all to their country to go unnoticed," Migaleddi said.
In keeping with Army tradition, Schiller's remarks were kept short. He nonetheless took a moment to talk directly to the workforce.
"A lot has changed at the Arsenal since 1813 such as equipment, machinery and buildings," Schiller said. "But the one thing that has not changed is the overwhelming sense of pride the workforce puts into every product made at the Arsenal."
Schiller also touched on a subject -- sequestration and furloughs - that is on the minds of every one of the 600 arsenal workers by saying the workforce has for 200 years been resolute in meeting the urgent demands of our nation's war fighters despite the ebbs and flows of defense budgets. He said they (workforce) must be as determined today as the workforce was in 1813 to meet the significant fiscal challenges they now face and to do so with a strong sense of dignity and pride.
After a brief, well-deserved vacation, Migaleddi will head to Afghanistan for his follow-on assignment.
The Arsenal's dedicated and highly-skilled workforce contributes to our national security by providing U.S. and foreign militaries the most advanced, high-tech, high-powered weaponry for cannon, howitzer, and mortar systems. The Arsenal is also the Defense Department's sole manufacture of large caliber cannons, from 105 mm to 155 mm, as well as DOD's manufacture of choice for 60 mm, 81 mm, and 120 mm mortar systems.

Hi there,
I have a big problem on my site: I've used page builder to create a 3 column page and the third column has spontaneously collapsed, and become very thin. I can't figure out which CSS line I've changed to cause this, but it's doing my head in and the site needs to go live very soon!
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

I hate coming up with baby names! Way too much stress involved. I'm looking for some input on names. DH has been set on the name Phoenix since before we met. I didn't like it when we first met and I've grown to being indifferent to the name. Anyway with DD1 we mutually agreed on Avalon (although at the last minute he had the option of choosing Phoenix).
So now that this baby is a girl, he's back to Phoenix. We both like the name Rayne but it doesn't go with the middle name that we had decided on which is Ried (pronounced reed, a shortened version on my maiden name). So now he is suggesting Phoenix Rayne. I just really don't want to use the middle name as the name we call her because I think that can be frustrating when they get older. But I don't like the way Rayne Phoenix flows.
So I'm looking for some opinions and/or suggestions.
Phoenix Rayne (everyone but DH would be calling her Rayne)
Rayne Phoenix
(BTW - My first choice is Winter Ried, but he doesn't really care for that.)

One of the most famous murder cases of the 20th century, the Sheppard case was the inspiration for "The Fugitive." The brutal murder of Marilyn Sheppard in a Cleveland suburb in 1954 led to the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of her husband.

True Grit
by Charles Portis
Join us in reading and discussing the 2016 Fayette on the Page: One Book, One Community selection. Published in 1968, "True Grit" tells the fictional story of Mattie Ross, a strong, self-reliant 14-year-old determined to see the murder of her father avenged. The action of the novel occurs sometime in the 1870s, in the wild, untamed frontier of Arkansas and the Indian Territory that then lay to the west. The narrator of the tale is an older, grownup Mattie, looking back on the adventures of her youth from a mature perspective. The intrepid girl, who neither suffers fools gladly nor takes "no" for an answer, goes looking for a U.S. Marshal with "true grit" to accompany her into Indian Territory in pursuit of Tom Chaney, the man who killed her father. She finds Rooster Cogburn: one-eyed, hard-drinking, and said to be afflicted with neither mercy nor fear. Together, along with an ostentatious Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf, they journey into the frontier—not only of the Old West, but of the human spirit. Vengeance, it turns out, certainly has its rewards ... but it also exacts a price.
