Syncrowave 200/250/300
I'm looking to get a decent TIG setup here soon and could use a little help deciding which would be appropriate. I've never picked up a torch before but it's one of those things that I'm determined to learn so I'm wanting to get an OK setup to start.
I was pretty set on just getting a Syncrowave 200 but I came across a Miller dealer that had such good pricing on other models I'm thinking about going with a 250 or 300. I noticed that Miller doesn't even list a 300 on their site and it appears to be an older model.
The price difference between a complete 200 setup (pedal, torch, regulator) and a complete 250 with the water cooled torch and circulator is $175.
What would be the limits of the 200 with only 200 amps? I think it would be much nicer to have 310 amps from the 250 but going from the 200 to the 250 I lose the pulsed TIG feature.
What should I go with?

our 250 has a pulser...?!? its only maybe 2 years old, the newest style of them.
I never use the pulser tho..... Only 1 time have I used it up near max amperage, welding a front cover on a big cummins. rest of the time it stays around 200 amps, work the rest from the pedal.

What are you going to be doing with it?
From the sounds of it, you wont need the pulser. I doubt you would need the water cooler, and im sure you wont need 310 amps (the torchs on those wp-20's are only to handle 250.)
I use a 250 DX every day with water cooler and pulser. Its very nice for production work but for home use I would get a 180 which is the other tig machine we have. Its small and can do just about any job that comes it way, but not alot of aluminum. The only reason you should get the water cooler s if you are doing alot of AL work.
I have never gone above 240 amps that I know of, and that was with 1/2 thick aluminum. I see no reason any home user would need more than 200.

Something seems wrong about the $175 price difference. A new Syncro250 should be about $4200 ballpark complete w water cooled torch. The syncro200 between $1850-2100 depending on if it comes with the wheels. Maybe its a used machine? I saw machines in the 250 class used for what a new 200 would have run me. If it's new be sure that it really has everything included. I have seen them on the net where the pict shows all the stuff, but if you read the fine print it says machine only!
Those machines will draw a lot of juice even if you set them to weld light steel. Make sure that you have enough to power it. I think a 250 will want about a 100amp breaker to run full power and want a min of 50amps to run.

i was wondering about the price also. it must be a used machine. there is about a $2200 difference between the 200 and 250 runners.

The main reason for questioning as to whether 200 amps is going to limit me was because of the calculator on Miller's site. I know there's a lot of variables, but it says 275-350 amps for a 1/4" mild steel fillet weld.
The circuit shouldn't be a problem since I have to have a 220V circuit installed for the welder anyway. I'll make sure it can handle 100 amps.
Back to prices....I was quoted $1525 for a "demo" Syncrowave 200 WITH foot control, torch, ground, regulator, gas hose, and primary. The Syncrowave 250 with all the above parts but a water cooled torch and circulator for $1700. It seems amazingly cheap but the shop has a good reputation from other buyers and is an authorized Miller dealer and repair shop.
By the way, when did these welders start including the LCD screens with amperage readout? These prices should be for the new models with the LCD screens but I want to make sure I know what I'm getting.

For 1/4" fillets, it's usually easier to just get out the 7018 and stick weld it anyway. You don't need over 200 amps for that. Thin materials & high tolerance stuff is where TIG really shines, so that's where I use it most.

I picked up my SW250DX used for $2100 a few years ago with water cooled torch and cooler and a box of other assorted accessories.
As stated, the 180 machine wasn't quite up to the task if you were looking at doing aluminum. But my understanding is that the updates to the 200 made it at least passable for aluminum.
Here is the manual for the 250 if you haven't found it yet: http://millerwelds.com/om/o353u_mil.pdf
I'd have to do a bit more than skim it to see the differences to the 250DX, but as you noted it does not have the LED readouts of the DX.
As for buying it before you've learned - nothing wrong with buying it and taking a class at the same time... I took the classes first, but would have loved to have been able to come home and practice between the classes... It took me awhile to find a used one worth buying at the right price for me.

I would have paid $1700 for an almost new 250 with a water cooled torch rather than $1850 for a new 200. That said I would look at how "used" the machine was. The used machines I looked at were all at least 4-6 years old and very well used. The place I went to repairs welders and they were either trade ins or machines that the owners didn't feel were worth the money to repair. They would warranty the machine for 6 mo. but if I needed any of the advanced options I probably wouldn't have tried them for at least a year as I learned on the machine.
Like others have said tig can be some what more difficult to teach yourself. Even with help I'm still trying to get all the variables adjusted to get alum to run the way I want. I can get the 3/16" steel so hot I can feel it thru the gloves at 150 amp. I'd hate to try and weld thicker steel with the tig if I didn't have to. My 200amp mig or stick would be a better choice for something like that.
Edit: I agree you PAToyota, thats the real reason why I bought mine. My new 200 has had enough power at 125-150 to do 1/8" alum 90's. I'm trying it on 1/4" T's right now. So far at the same settings it is taking a while to heat the material. I have to play some more this weekend and crank the heat up higher. These are straight joints no bevel, welding 3" chanel to 1/4" plate or channel.

Thats nuts, I did a single pass weld on 1/4 flat to 1/4 wall square tube at 225 amps or so for my spring hangers and its held up so f
You dont need it, but if the 250 is only 175 more than go for it. But what is your welding background? If you can only have one machine I would get a mig first, tig is more of a luxury.

The Sync 250DX is tits! I liked it so much during my SMAW class, that I've pretty much settled on it as my next shop purchase (after I get the engine back in my Bronco).
Although, the XMT-304 is even better. Never Stick welded with it, but for TIG and MIG, its the nicest machine I've been around!

The biggest MIG I've ever used is a Hobart 140. I was planning on keeping it around for light stuff, but a deal came around and I just sold it. I'm trying to decide if I'm really going to regret not having a MIG and only a TIG.
I don't mind the fact that it takes longer. I don't make money welding and I'm willing to spend however much time it takes. I'm kind of regretting selling the little MIG since it would have been very useful for tacking parts even if I finished them on a bigger machine.
I could get a 210/212/252 MIG instead, but I really want to learn TIG. After hearing that the formula SAE cars have now stepped up their regulations to where the chassis and suspension must be TIG welded I've wanted to start sooner than later.

The reason I mentioned it was because TIG welders sold without any accessories don't command nearly as high a price on the market because most people wanting to learn TIG want a "package deal". That's why I recommended learning first. If you know how to put together your own setup, it's going to cost you a lot less. Plus, that way you also get the equipment combo that suits your exact needs. If you know what you need and what you can live without, it makes picking the machine best for your needs a no-brainer. None of what a salesman tells you will mean anything unless you know the basics -> water cooled vs. air cooled torches, different arc start methods, AC waveshape, DC pulse, finger vs. foot amptrols, pre/post flow timers, Argon vs. helium, flowmeters, etc.. (Stay away from the "tigrunner" combos, They're overpriced).
Can you live without AC TIG? It makes a huge difference on equipment costs.
A Maxstar is 1/2 the price of a Dynasty and they're both very handy, very portable, and have low input power requirements. I run my Dynasty 200DX off a 30 amp breaker all the time. If there's a dryer oulet somewhere, I'm good to go. I've actually welded on my kitchen table. If you wanted to "trade up" to a bigger machine at a later date, all your accessories would be a direct-fit on any other Miller. For example: all my 200DX torches will plug into a Synchrowave just the same. My footpedal plugs right into any Miller machine that uses a 14 pin connector.
To give you an example of how model numbers can be extremely misleading, ask an equipment distributor or Miller rep how a MM210 MIG compares to an old MM200 MIG. There's a night and day difference between those two machines and what they can do, but the model #'s are very similar. My point: Quit looking at numbers and specs for now. The only way you'll be able to interpret the numbers is after you've got a little bit of experience.

Used or New
It is really hard to buy a welder if your not sure just what you need to do. Sort of like buying a new vehicle if you can`t drive your sort of at the salesmens mercy. Does the steering wheel always shake this hard, Sales person yes thats the massage option only X$$
I would get the basics of GTAW first then shop around as with any used welders. Test weld with them first in the process you need first, Or else have an Iron clad return policy if it doesn`t work.
You all want to stay away from the Syncrowaves with the built in coolers, a big mistake on Millers part nothing but failures. The ones with coolers on the bottom underneath the powersource are working just fine in fact that is the warranty fix for the cooler failures on the internal coolers.

I realize that it would be better if I could try a welder out first and know what I'm getting myself into. I bought my first car when I was 16 before I ever drove it. I didn't know how to drive a manual, but I can drive it like a pro 3 years later.
I finally went and looked at some of the Syncrowaves at General Air. They had a 200 and a 250dx tigrunner. I couldn't believe how enormous the were. Just looking at pictures online didn't convey the dimensions.
I think the best option for me at this point is a Dynasty 200dx. It's a huge chunk of change for me, but being a college student the portability is GREAT and I'm not always going to have 220 power when I'm renting.

A lot. For a college student, anyway.
I've been pricing out my options on this machine and really can't decide whether I'm better off buying a used machine or a new one. I was a little surprised to find that the warranty is only 3 years on these machines. There isn't a ton of information out there on the overall reliability since they are still fairly new. I did read about one case where a guy had a circuit board go bad on a machine out of warranty and the part itself was more than $1000. The way my computers fail in the past it seems like a warranty is a good idea while it lasts.
All the used machines that I've watched on eBay go for within a few hundred dollars of the price of a new one. I checked out prices at local General air and they wanted $3,050 for the machine compared to $27XX online. I really expected more of a difference and may purchase it locally for the end support anyway.
There is one local 200dx setup that I've been eyeing that includes a Coolmate 4, foot pedal, torch, and 300cf tank for $3600. Almost worth just buying new since the parts added up were around $3900.
Maybe I just need to be a typical Craigslist negotiator and see if he's willing to budge on the price.

On an older machine you are more likely to run across a deal on craigslist or something. I got a miller200 mig for 250 bucks cause the guy said it didnt work and it took me 5 min to fix the shorted trigger leads. But an older TIG means it weighs a million pounds. Prob not gonna find one of those new little miller tig units on CL.

Click here for GrandFacts, state and local benefits for grandparents raising kids, and more
Across the United States, almost 7.8 million children are living in homes where grandparents or other relatives are the householders, with more than 5.8 million children living in grandparents' homes and nearly 2 million children living in other relatives' homes. These families are often called "grandfamilies."
More than 2.5 million grandparents are taking on the responsibility for these children. Many other relatives also take on this responsibility, although data are not available on other relatives. Often they assume this responsibility with neither of the children's parents present in the home. In fact, nearly 1 million children are living in homes where the grandparent is the householder and neither parent is present in the home (comparable data are not available for children living in homes where another relative is the householder and neither parent is present.)
These grandparent and other relative caregivers and the children they are raising are often isolated. They lack information about the range of support services, resources, programs, benefits, laws and policies available to help them successfully fulfill their caregiving role. In addition, to better serve children, families and older adults, educators and program practitioners need access to information about these key resources. Policy makers also seek information and education about the issues facing these "grandfamilies." Therefore, in a unique national partnership, AARP, Brookdale Foundation Group, Casey Family Programs, Child Welfare League of America, Children's Defense Fundand Generations United have created the GrandFacts: State Fact Sheets for Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children.
GrandFacts State Fact Sheets for Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children are funded in part by AARP Foundation and Verizon Thinkfinity.

Democracy Now!: In "jailhouse confession," Williams "admitted it was Glenn Beck who inspired him"
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
On today's edition of Democracy Now!, anchor Amy Goodman covered Media Matters for America's interview with Byron Williams, who was arrested following a shootout with police while reportedly on his way "to start a revolution by traveling to San Francisco and killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU."
Goodman reported that Williams "has admitted it was Fox News host Glenn Beck who inspired him to plot the assassination of employees of the ACLU and the Tides Foundation," and noted our reporting that "in the 18 months before the shooting, Beck used his Fox News show to attack the Tides Foundation 29 times, claiming that the small foundation is part of a secret George Soros-funded plot to infiltrate and gain control of big businesses and to indoctrinate the youth of America."

Imagine your patient arrives in your office for a three-unit bridge to be done while they wait. No more temporary bridges to be made, no more worries about the shade, contours, margins, fit, or communication to a technician you may not even know. This scenario sounds too good to be true, but today this is realistic because the dentist can be the technician, in total control of the entire procedure.
There are a number of recent products available that help to make this scenario a reality. I have constructed approximately 45 simple bridges and single units while my patients wait. Think about the fact that two appointments can be condensed into one. There is no temporary bridge that must be made, then cemented, and later removed, no clean-up of temporary cements, less local anesthetic, no time spent communicating to a third party, and generally less total stress on the patient and dentist. The feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone really wants to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. In addition, there are no costly laboratory bills, which will significantly improve profit margins. Still skeptical? I don't blame you, because I was skeptical myself until I actually constructed my first three-unit bridge. Please follow along with me on a case involving a three-unit bridge from the maxillary right first molar to the maxillary right first bicuspid, replacing the maxillary right second bicuspid, and decide for yourself.
|Figures 1 and 2. A resin-bonded bridge will replace the missing tooth.
|Figures 3 and 4. The entire buccal surface of tooth No. 3 was covered for aesthetic as well as structural considerations.
The patient presented with failing amalgam restorations on teeth Nos. 3 and 5, with No. 4 missing. On consultation with the patient it was decided to place a resin-bonded bridge to replace the missing tooth (Figures 1 and 2). After administration of local anesthetic, preparation for an MO onlay was performed on tooth No. 3, and for tooth No. 5 a reverse three-quarter crown preparation. The entire buccal surface of tooth No. 3 was covered for aesthetic as well as structural considerations (Figures 3 and 4). Allowance of at least 1.5 to 2 mm of occlusal clearance was made for sufficient bulk of restorative material, and heavy chamfers were placed on all the margins.
|Figure 5. An impression was taken using alginate and reversible hydrocolloid.
The prepared teeth were packed with No. 1 cords (Van-R), which were left in place until the final cementation. After 5 minutes, an impression was taken using alginate and reversible hydrocolloid injected around the teeth, which was removed within 90 seconds with a sharp snap (Figure 5). The hydrocolloid had been boiled and conditioned earlier in a unit called a dry processor made by Cadco, the entire process taking only one-half hour. A number of cartridges can be loaded into the unit and stored the entire week, ready for instant use. The combination of alginate and hydrocolloid provides a quick, accurate, and highly detailed impression of the prepared teeth. After the impression, the patient was dismissed into the reception area while the bridge was being constructed.
|Figure 6. Detail of the model.
Immediately, a working model was made using Mach 2 polyvinylsiloxane die material (Parkell). This consists of a catalyst and base ejected from a gun through a mixing tip, and it sets very quickly. The tip should be placed at the very bottom of the impression in order to not trap air and should be dispensed rapidly before the material begins to polymerize. After placing this material into the impression, a base was made using Blu-Mousse bite registration (Parkell), also dispensed from a gun. After only 1 minute, the materials were set, the impression separated from the model, and the bridge was ready to be constructed. The detail of the model was excellent (Figure 6). The entire elapsed time for the preparation to be completed was less than 10 minutes. An opposing model could be made and both models mounted in an articulator; however, it appears to be ultimately faster and more efficient to work with only the one unmounted model and to make adjustments in the mouth.
The next step was to construct the bridge on the model using hybrid composite. Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE), which was used in this case, has excellent working characteristics as well as strong physical properties for this purpose, and it is recommended for indirect as well as direct restorations. The material is available in 15 shades, including an incisal blend, which allows accurate matching of the adjacent teeth. In addition to excellent aesthetics, two of the nicest features are that it doesn't slump or stick to instruments. These are crucial factors when trying to build large amounts of composite to contour.
A small amount of material was placed on the gingival margins and cured. In order to gain strength for the pontic, it was necessary to use a reinforcing material attached to the abutments and passing through the middle of the pontic. Utilizing a material called Ribbond (Ribbond, Inc), which comes in different widths and thicknesses, the required length of material was cut in two strips from the stock of material with a special cutter supplied by the manufacturer in the starter kit. The two pieces of Ribbond were saturated with liquid bonding agent and adapted to the abutments either on the outer axial surface or the internal box, depending on the type of preparation. One strip was placed on the buccal of both preparations, and one strip was placed on the lingual. A small amount of composite was initially placed on the preparations to hold the strips in place and also between the strips in the pontic area where they were ultimately pinched closer together, forming a reinforced bar. Two 3-mm wide ribbons, which were well adapted to the preparations, were used in this case. Note that at the pontic area there should be sufficient room gingival and occlusal to the bar for enough bulk of composite yet to be placed.
It would be appropriate to mention a few words about Ribbond at this time, because this remarkable material is the key to this procedure. The fibers are made from the same material used to make bulletproof vests. The fibers are woven in a cross-link lock stitch leno weave, making them extremely tough and fracture resistant. Also, this prevents the Ribbond from splaying when cut and, when adapted against the teeth, distributes the applied forces throughout the fiber network, acts as a crack stopping mechanism, and minimizes composite polymerization shrinkage. Ribbond also bonds well to composite resin and has virtually no memory when it is adapted to the preparations. The material is very versatile and can be used to splint teeth for orthodontic or periodontal reasons as well as constructing endodontic posts. The key to the success of its use is ensuring that it is well adapted to the die and enough layers of correct width are used, strategically placed together for maximum strength. The booklet supplied with the introductory kit provides detailed instructions and illustrations covering a number of different situations that may be encountered. In addition to the various widths, there are currently two thicknesses available for various situations. There has been a definite but gentle learning curve for me using this material, however, the results have been most gratifying. A good reference may be found in Dental Clinics of North America, January 1999, by Rudo and Karbhari.1
|Figure 7. Framework is comparable to a PFM bridge.
After curing, the framework was ready for the application of more composite and could be compared loosely to the metal structure of a PFM bridge (Figure 7). Composite was placed over the framework one tooth at a time to build out the contours, occlusion, and margins. Please note that it is important that this be done to only one tooth at a time to minimize distortion from shrinkage as the composite cures. Also, it is important that the light is directed in several directions as the composite cures, again to minimize distortion. After all the necessary composite was added, the entire bridge was easily removed from the elastic model and further cured from the under side. Next, the embrasures were opened up with a thin diamond disk, and the contours were trimmed with coarse sandpaper disks, going almost to the margins. Only preliminary contouring was done at this time.
|Figure 8. Stain placed in grooves provides a more realistic effect.
The patient was called back into the treatment area, and the bridge was fitted to the preparations. Only slight relief to the internal aspects of the bridge was required in order for it to completely seat, as well as some adjustment to the contact areas. High-speed diamonds, burs, and finer disks were used to further adjust and refine the contours, embrasures, and margins both in and out of the mouth, as required. The luxury of being able to add composite if any areas are deficient by sandblasting and applying bonding agent is a great advantage. A Danville microetcher was used inside a micro-cab to contain the aluminum oxide particles. Next, the occlusion was adjusted with high-speed diamonds and burs, at the same time detailing the anatomy. Polishing the bridge out of the mouth using appropriately shaped composite finishers and diamond paste on a felt wheel followed this. Lastly, the gingival area of the pontic and the occlusal grooves were sandblasted and painted with bonding liquid. Stain was placed in the grooves for a more realistic effect, and the completed bridge was cured one last time out of the mouth (Figure 8).
|Figures 9 and 10. The final result after finishing and polishing.
Before cementation, the internal aspects of the retainers were sandblasted, the abutments were etched for 15 seconds with 37% phosphoric acid gel and rinsed, and Gluma desensitizer was placed. Prime & Bond NT (DENTSPLY Caulk) mixed with dual-cure activator was applied to the abutments and the internal of the bridge, excess was blown off, and Rely X arc (3M ESPE) was used as a luting cement. One of the major advantages with this cement is that it reaches an intermediary stage, which allows for easy cleanup with instruments and floss. It was then light cured to its final set. Lastly, finishing burs and fine disks were used to smooth and polish the supra-gingival margins prior to polishing with diamond paste on a felt wheel (Figures 9 and 10). The final result was a strong prosthesis made of the composite and Ribbond to form a dental-restorative complex with the abutment teeth, which is not rigid and will bend, unlike a cast bridge. Because of this stress-breaking effect, there is less chance of the bridge debonding from the abutment teeth.
Initially, constructing a bridge with this technique may seem lengthy and complicated, but the total clinical time spent is really no longer than for a traditional laboratory-fabricated bridge. In fact, I find that it is somewhat simpler, because time and effort are completely directed at fabricating the final bridge. Equally important is the sense of control and satisfaction achieved when one can use innovative products and current available scientific information, all blended with artistic skill. The myriad of superior dental materials and techniques we are fortunate to have available allow us unprecedented creativity and diversity in how we can deliver cosmetic and adhesive dentistry to our patients. In fact, a true paradigm shift now exists in the way restorative dentistry can be viewed today.

Clay County 4-Hers Steal the Spotlight at Communications Fair
Clay County 4-Hers participated in the annual 4-H Communications Fair on June 25 in the 4-H Auditorium on the Clay County Fairgrounds. The Clay County 4-H Youth Development program supports youth grades 4-12 through project exploration in a wide variety of interest areas. Communications Fair is a county mini-fair with an entire day of events that support skills in public speaking, demonstrations, educational presentations, performance art such as dance, theatre and demonstrative cooking. 4-Hers provided demonstrations and presentations on a wide variety of topics from a Legos Robotics Demonstration to Best Beef Practices. "The Clay County 4-H members are doing so well taking the challenge to apply communications skills to each of their project areas. We are seeing performances that are artistic and musical, but also projects that are an outgrowth of a previous year's project in agriculture, visual arts, citizenship, animal science, and engineering, said Clay County Program Director, Bonnie Dalager. "I'm so glad that we can begin teaching our members that leadership, citizenship and communication can be infused into every area of their interests, hobbies and studies."
Clay County 4-H works with youth in these project areas through a network of over 500 adult volunteers. Club leaders work with the kids year round and project volunteers mentor youth in specific project areas. If you're interested in communications or in finding out more about the 4-H program, please contact Jo Engel at 262-2264 or email@example.com.
The 2012 Communications Fair results are as follows with many of the talented 4-Hers being able to participate at the state level at the Iowa State Fair in August. Clay County 4-Hers chosen for the District level will be among 4-Hers from over 20 counties participating at the Clay County Fair this September. Volunteers are currently working to make this year's Clay County 4-H Exhibit Building and Auditorium a fun and interactive experience; please check out www.extension/iastate.edu/clayfor the schedule of events.

Serena breezes into semifinals
NEW YORK -- If Serena Williams is hoping for some solid preparation en route to defending her US Open title, it sure hasn't happened yet. Her latest barely-broke-a-sweat affair was a 6-0, 6-0 quarterfinal victory Tuesday night against No. 18 seed Carla Suarez Navarro.
It was the first "double bagel" in a Grand Slam women's quarterfinal since Martina Navratilova shut out Manuela Maleeva in the 1989 US Open.
Tuesday night's first set lasted all of 19 minutes and the match just 52 on the vanquished Spaniard's 25th birthday.
At one point in the first game of the second set, with Williams sitting on a sure winner, Suarez Navarro started walking to her chair. In the next game, a fan in Arthur Ashe Stadium could be heard shouting, "Come on Serena, give her a game."
But it wasn't to be in Suarez Navarro's first US Open quarterfinal as Williams won 88 percent of her first serves, and had 20 winners to her opponents' three and 53 points won versus 18.
"She's a great player but the conditions today were so tough, so it definitely was not her best tennis," Williams said of the windy night in her on-court interview.
"I've been here for what, 50 years? I've kind of gotten used to the conditions and even though it's difficult to play each year, I'm getting a little bit better at it."
Williams, 31, has dropped just 13 games in her five matches.
"I haven't thought about it yet," Williams said. "I'm still in the tournament and I'm not thinking about, like, I'm really dominant now. I'm just thinking, OK, I just have a really tough match in the next round and I really want to do well."
On a side note, the tournament's other top seed, Novak Djokovic, also finished his match with a shutout flourish in his 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 victory over another Spaniard, Marcel Granollers.
But Williams was not willing to call her performance "flawless" as Djokovic termed his.
"Of course not," she said. "I played good, though. I played really good. I was just more focused than anything. I like to believe there is always room for improvement."
Williams' semifinal opponent is No. 5 seed Li Na, 31, who needed three sets to beat No. 24 Ekaterina Makarova and who is 1-8 against Williams, her only victory coming in 2008.
"She's been playing [me] really close," Williams said. "Who knows? Maybe the next time we play she might want to go from close to a win, so I have to be ready for that."

at Ernie and Cindi berating that driver. They asked him if he took US dollars and he said No! Are they stupid?
Well, at least they didn't let the bus drive off without them and no money to buy another ticket.
They didn't know for sure they had to reassemble it so some teams just sort of rushed through (and had to go back later to check). But the teams who guessed they'd have to re-assemble it took notes - or in the case of the siblings, used their cab driver's phone to take a picture.
Wow, those twins are lucky!!
Zac isn't a bad kid, but Daddy is an idiot.
If the twins, by some miracle, win this race I will just choke
I'm loving the lack of bunching and the fact that no one seems to know where any of the other teams are.
It may also have helped that they were nice to the people and didn't start berating them.
It would help my predictions for Zac/Lawrence to be eliminated this leg.
That was kind of anti cimatic ending, unless the pit stop is murder to find.

In the time they spent arguing about money, they could've exchanged it.
At least they admitted they acted like idiots.
I don't know why they didn't consult a cab driver? Could they be out of $$?
I'm confused too. What did they need the teacher for?
Also how did the twins get out of Phuket? Was on the phone during that part.
I'm as well as to how all of a sudden they are so far behind. Has to be the buses people took and they must have gotten some very bad luck with their bus.

Flashback ... Robert "Dolly" Dunn being led from court.
Photo: Nick Moir
Notorious pedophile Robert "Dolly" Dunn is being treated in a Sydney hospital after taking ill when pornographic drawings were discovered in his Long Bay prison cell.
The pencil drawings were found during a search by prison officers yesterday, Corrective Services said.
A short time later Dunn, 63, complained he had difficulty breathing and was taken to hospital where he is receiving care in a coronary ward.
Dunn is expected to face disciplinary charges over possession of the drawings.
He began serving a 20-year sentence in 1997 for sexual offences against children.
His earliest possible release date is in November 2015.

As I said in an earlier entry, a composting head is a very simple machine. Just go more than three miles offshore, (I would recommend 10 - you'll probably be that far out during part of the trip) remove the bottom container from the head, dump it overboard, put more peat moss in and put it back in use. Remember, it is legal to pump directly overboard when more than three miles offshore. This wouldn't work too well if you are just working your way along the shore from marina to marina, but then you'd probably be using the marina's heads and showers anyway and wouldn't tax your system.
Look, nothing's perfect. In boating everything is a compromise. I prefer something which is extremely simple in use (and repair) to something which has so many pumps, hoses, tanks valves etc. that repair is at best difficult and often impossible underway as well as expensive and messy ashore.
There were a few posts I had read in the Gemini group regarding over-using the toilet. No perfect answers. One person talked about a week long trip with six people, and the head did fine, but needed a few weeks to "catch up" if I remember correctly.
I suppose you could just dump the contents overboard if out past any legal limits. They cost a thousand bucks, but the bottom of the unit is really just a bucket.

Composting heads...
I am tempted to install a composting head on my boat. We had one for 4 years in our home (with 3 children included)in AK years ago. No odor problems but the little thing didn't care for too much liquid. Beer drinkers were sent outside behind the woodshed. Warm temps sure aid the composting procedures. Always struck me more as a living breathing biology experiment than a sewage system. If nothing else, those heads provoke conversations.
I'm glad you did that little experiment, preservedkillick, because it reinforces what I've discovered about my AirHead. There is no smell. I thought that when I opened the sealed flap to drop the end product into the lower compartment I would get a strong smell coming out. Never happened. First, I followed the manufacturer's recommendation and put a large coffee filter above the trap door. That way when you flip the trap door and the filter and contents disappear into the lower tank there is nothing left in the upper area to need cleaning. Close the trap door and turn the stirring crank a couple of times and you are done. According to the manufacturer it is good for about 80 uses for solids.
As far as urine is concerned, it is not quite the same as poop. The pathogens that are found in feces are not as prevalent in urine, and cholera and suchlike are not spread by urine as far as I know. (I am not a medical professional so I could be wrong). If I am not close to shore or if I don't have female guests aboard I tend to pee over the side (while clipped in any kind of rough seas - I know a high percentage of drowned men are recovered with their flies open). If the bottle has any contents I dump it before going into the harbor. I have also walked to the marina head with a bottle. It is opaque so not many know what's in it and it comes with stopper. And unlike the strong chemical contents of portapotty heads, the marina management shouldn't have a beef.
I have sat near the solar vent that exhausts the air and never smelled anything. Like most other things on a boat a composting head will take care of you if you take care of it. Keep it clean, keep it filled with moist peat moss, keep it vented. I can't think of anything that could go wrong, but if something did go wrong, it would be easy to deal with because it is a very simple machine.
Faced with a problem in my after head last year (I don't know why J boats decided to put two heads in a 40 footer, but they did) I decided to take a chance on a composting head. I figured I'd keep one head with the usual holding tanks setup and try a composter for the other, thus having a backup if either failed. When I cruised to Nova Scotia last summer the one that failed was the standard head. A guest of the PO had dropped a sanitary product into the thing and jammed it up - a fact I didn't discover till I took the system apart.
The jammed head made the whole forward part of the boat practically unusable. Of course, we didn't know the system was jammed and at one point I looked at the holding tank and saw it was bulging in all directions, really ready to burst. I had visions of the thing exploding and me running the boat ashore, leaving it there, never to return. So, while offshore, I had to open the deck fitting, resulting in a two foot high gyser of you know what. It was at that moment that I decided I would never have a holding tank system on the boat ever again as long as I lived.
Meanwhile the after head was happily doing its job, without odor or problems. I realized that if there ever was a problem I would be able to take care of it offshore by removing the bottom part that holds the "end " product, tie a line to it and dip it over the side a few times, till clean. Much easier way to deal with a problem than the myriad hoses, valves, tanks etc of the standard system.
I am a total convert to the composting head solution and last year removed all signs of the holding tank era, using clorox to try to remove the lingering odors. This spring I took the compost (and it was compost by spring) out of the after head and dumped it in the woods - I'm still too chicken (and afraid of the wife) to put it in the flower garden.
Last week I sealed the sea cocks for both heads, installed the second Air Head, and the space previously taken by two holding tanks, assorted hoses, valves, pumps, etc has been put to much better use (the forward 20 gallon holding tank that nearly burst has been replaced by an auxiliary 20 gallon diesel tank that increases my fuel capacity by 40%)
I never experienced any odor problem. I did not use the supplied 12 volt fan, not wanting the constant drain on the batteries. Instead I use solar vents that keep the air moving without taxing the electrical system. Although I only used the composter for the second half of last summer, I never had odor problems of the kind I saw (smelled?) on my boats in the past. Incidentally, I have no connection, financial or otherwise, to any composting head maker. I just love the product, at least compared with what else out there for the purpose.
More than half a century ago Dick Nye, owner of the legendary Carina asked Olin Stevens advice on what to bring on a Transatlantic race. Olin said " a stout oak board with an 8" hole and a 100 pound bag of coal". Dick wondered about that but decided to follow the advice anyway. Sure enough it was cold as all getout on the race and all 100 pounds of coal went into the stove. The stout oak board? It had to be jury rigged to the pushpit when the head died hafway across. Wise words from a wise man.
I buy into the composting idea, but here is my concern. Since there's a seperate reservoir for the urine, which isn't all that big, and I'm cruising in a no-discharge zone how do I get rid of it? Am I suppose to go empty it on shore? If I'm at my berth and the reservoir is full I would find it a bit weird walking down the dock past all the boats & people to go dump my urine in the toilet.
We had an Envirolette composting toilet at the cottage years ago and everything got mixed together, no seperate reservoir, but this toilet was way too big for a boat. It worked well, no smell - go fuss.
There are a number of people cruising with composting toilets on the Gemini Cat Yahoo Groups:

You need to join to read the posts. I did and most posts are on installation issues, from then on seems everyone is happy with them.
|Well, I notice a year and a half has gone by since I originally posted this question and no one has replied that actually has a composting head on their own vessel. I'm very impressed with your bold experiment, Preservedkillick, and I'm not surprised by the lack of smell. I have a friend with a composting head in his home and there is no smell there either. I suspect that those with problems are either supporting anerobic bacteria growth or they are not keeping the composting material as dry as required. As for the concerns posted by people regarding Vibrio Cholera, or any spread of pathogens, this potential problem is decreased by the use of a composting head as opposed to the use of water as a transporting medium to dispose of waste, which is the method by which pathogens such as Vibrio cholera are transmitted. I'm still interested in hearing direct information from cruisers who actually have long term experinece with a composting head abord their own vessel. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
My 2 Cents
My boat needed a holding tank, and was about to install one when my wife saw the Airhead toilet. She loves the idea. Me not so much. I wanted a conventional system (holding tank) since I know what I'm in for.
I did some reading, and found this:
Joseph Jenkins, Inc. - The LOVEABLE LOO
Airhead and Nature's Head people say that if you keep the urine and most liquids out, you get no smell.
Well, I thought I'd try an experiment. I set up a 5 gallon bucket in the bathroom of my house to use. It was funny. We just remodeled the bathroom: new wide pine floor, new toilet & sinks curtains & paint..and now an orange bucket. Toilet was off-limits except to pee. I also got some coco husks bricks to mix. To start, I slightly hydrated about one gallon of the coco husks as the composting medium, then after every use, a cup gets added. We stir the bucket with a stick every few days. This was late winter, all windows closed all the time. I was kind of hoping the experiment would stink up the house so we could be done with it. I was surprised that there was no smell what so ever. Not kidding! I was expecting it to stink at first, and kept the bathroom door closed (no vent fan) to let the stink collect, but there was no smell. After you go, a cup of the husks and the smell disappears as quick as flushing the toilet. Smell would not be a reason to doubt this system. I must admit that it somehow seems "grosser"...not flushing it away and out. The stirring is a little gross too, no smell or anything, it doesn't even look gross, just the idea is unsettling.
We're going to try it on the boat. I've glassed over the two hull holes, and we'll see. We are still undecided as to which we get, the Airhead or the Nature's Head. At this point, if it were me I'd stick with the 5 gallon bucket but I've been told that females might appreciate the urine separating feature of the commercial units.

Utah's State Drinking Water Board had demanded that Logan city officials up reservoir capacity by 1.5 million gallons to keep up with rapid population growth. The city's existing reservoirs were ancient and leaking badly. Rather than buy land for a new reservoir, the city opted to revamp the existing one. Unfortunately, the public works staff didn't have the time or expertise to perform the work themselves.
The city's request for proposals outlined three principal challenges:
The shape and size of the site—600 feet long and 80 feet wide
- The site's layout—steep mountains on the east, a private golf and country club to the west and north, and storage tanks on the south
- The need to store water from spring flow, supplemented by well flows when necessary.
Muscatine, Iowa-based Stanley Consultants presented a plan that boosted capacity, saved space and money, resulted in virtually no downtime, and beautified the site.
The design team minimized the footprint by incorporating turbulent jet mixing in the reservoir's four tank cells, minimizing "dead spots" where sediments and chlorine concentrations could accumulate and increasing the cells' flexibility. Designed by Stanley Consultants project manager Jeff Masters, the mixing system includes a nozzle at the end of inlet piping to create turbulent flow, allowing for turnover of stored water, reducing chlorine requirements, and improving water quality. A newly designed pipe system connects all four cells so operators can use one cell, all four at once, or any of the cells in combination. Throughout construction and installation, the existing cells had to remain in service.
Opting for precast double-T concrete beams to support the roofing structure eliminated the need for about 50 support columns. Also, by deciding against pour-in-place concrete, they avoided having to take time to erect support scaffolding and wait for the material to cure.
The city also placed a great deal of importance on aesthetics. Reservoirs are not known for their overwhelming beauty, and the proximity to both a trail and a golf course dictated that the structure be as "pretty" as possible. Stanley's design team incorporated a green-roof structure on the reservoir's deck. The roof consists of a 60-mil ethylene propylene diene monomer membrane from Indianapolis-based Firestone Building Products; protection board; geotextile fabric from Fullterton, Calif.-based Triumph Geo-Synthetics Inc.; topsoil; and wildflowers. Also, the west face of the concrete structure features a patterned, textured surface to better complement the natural surroundings.
For financing, the city used capital improvement funds and a construction bond from a state revolving fund administered by the State Division of Drinking Water. Even with the challenging design features and the need to keep the old tanks online during the process, the project managed to come in on time and within 3% of budget.
Any concerns about the project's success disappeared as soon as the old water tanks were disconnected from the new structures. The amount of water delivered by the springs to the tank site compared to the amount of water in the system, known as "delivery efficiency," jumped from 54% to 89%. This proved that the old tanks had been leaking an astounding 3 mgd.
Project: Logan Replacement Reservoir
AEC firm: Stanley Consultants
Cost: $6.2 million
Project delivery method: Design-bid-build
Size: 5.65 million gallons
Wow factor: The green roof helps the structure blend in with the neighboring country club and nature trails

The eurozone's fourth-largest economy, in recession since mid-2011 and now suffering a 25-per cent unemployment rate, managed to defy widespread predictions in the financial markets that it would be forced to seek an ECB rescue in 2012.
Asked in an interview with ABC Radio whether Spain would seek a bailout, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said: "I am not saying that we are going to ask for it or not ask for it. What I am saying is that the Spanish government will take the decision that it believes to be the most appropriate at the appropriate time."
But in any case, De Guindos said ECB assistance in the markets would not be a bailout of the kind carried out in Ireland or Portugal, both of which had no access to the markets and had to be financed by the European authorities and the International Monetary Fund. "That is not a bailout. It is not a Portuguese or Irish-style bailout. I realise that from the journalistic point of view it generates a lot of interest if you speak of a bailout, but it is not a bailout in any sense," he said.
The ECB outlined plans in September to buy an unlimited amount of stricken states' bonds to drive down their borrowing costs but only if they first apply for help from European bailout mechanisms and submit to strict conditions.
The mere prospect of central bank intervention has sent Spain's borrowing costs tumbling.
Spanish 10-year bond yields spiked at a dangerous level of more than 7.0 per cent mid-year, when speculation of an imminent rescue was at its height. This week, the bonds were trading at less than 5.3 per cent.
Spain also has completed its 2012 bond-selling programme to finance government activities, and has embarked early on raising money for 2013.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government performed a U-turn on his pre-election promises by pushing up sales taxes from September 1 to curb the public deficit. But De Guindos said a further increase in sales tax in 2013 was "absolutely not on the table."

Mikel Leshoure was a second round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in the 2011 NFL draft. He was hoping to make a big splash his rookie year, but he tore his Achilles tendon three days before his first exhibition game. It wiped out his first pro season, but he feels he is well on his way to full recovery.
"It's doing good. I'll be back by next year; I'm on schedule. I have to hit this rehab hard this offseason and get ready for next year."
Given his situation, does he have any regrets about leaving Illinois a year early?
"I'm still happy, I don't regret the decision at all. I still feel like it's the best decision for me. Things happen. I'm happy this happened on Detroit's practice field rather than at Camp Rantoul. You've just got to move with the punches and keep going. I just have to get after it and get better.
"Everything I learned from school is helping take me through what I'm doing now. I'm happy with my career, and I can't wait to get back next year."
As others have noted, moving from the college to pro ranks requires a major adjustment.
"There's a big difference. The game speed, the players, the off-the-field things. You don't have to worry about school, it's just football. It changes your life, but it's everything I always wanted. So I'm living my dream now."
Of course, it is a business and must be accepted for what it is.
"It's a job. They pay you to do your job, and you've got to approach it with a professional attitude. That's the number one thing I've learned so far...it's a job now. You're a professional, so you have to be professional on and off the field. I think I'm doing a good job of that. I just want to get better as a professional athlete."
Leshoure is excited about the future of Detroit Lion football. Making the playoffs this year could be a stepping stone for better things to come.
"We're on our way. We're still a few people away. This game tonight ( a 45-28 loss to New Orleans) is gonna show the direction we're moving. We're still young a little bit and making mistakes here and there. But once we get this playoff feel back under our belt, it will get us going for next year like we did years ago."
Despite his injury, Leshoure is close to his teammates and has embraced their efforts during the 2011 season.
"I'm very proud. I've been around these guys very day, every practice, every meeting, being with the team. I've traveled with the team, although I didn't travel this week. Every other game I've been there. I'm proud of these guys. We've got a lot to prove to ourselves and our fans."
Leshoure's college coach Ron Zook was fired in November. But he takes a philosophical approach to the future of Illini football.
"Illinois is moving in a good direction. I was sad to see them leave, but it's just time for a change I guess."

text: Here are a few photos from the 10,000 Light Year's Ago band's sound check on the cruise. The band was working under the most windy/choppy water conditions we experienced the entire cruise! I was actually surprised the band was still conducting their performance on the outside stage. I thought, perhaps, they'd move it to one of the indoor theatres. I never really watched a band do sound check before and, from a newbie's point of view, it was interesting. They really have to make sure everything is fine tuned personally, and then collectively with the bad.

Overall in 2012, he had 62 tackles, including a team-high 19.5 for losses of 107 yards (with a team-best 13 sacks for minus 74 yards), plus 4 deflections, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He tied for fifth nationally in sacks (1.0, second in Pac-12) and was 15th in tackles for loss (1.5, fourth in Pac-12). His 19.5 tackles for loss and 13 sacks were the most by a Trojan since Kenechi Udeze had 26 and 16.5, respectively, in 2003. He was among 6 finalists for the Hendricks Award. He made 2012 SI.com All-American honorable mention, Pro Football Weekly All-American honorable mention and All-Pac-12 second team. He also made the CBSSports.com All-Pac-12 first team and Phil Steele All-Pac-12 second team. He was named USC's Defensive Lineman of the Year.
He had 5 tackles, including 2 for losses (with a sack),and 2 deflections against Hawaii to become the first junior college transfer to start on the USC defensive line since end Marcus Bonds did so in 4 mid-season games in 1994.

He had 4.5 tackles for loss (including 3.5 sacks) among his 6 tackles against California to earn College Football Performance Awards National Defensive Player of the Week and National Defensive Lineman of the Week honors and become the first Trojan with that many since Lawrence Jackson set school records for tackles for loss (5.5) and sacks (4, tied with 3 others) against Arizona State in 2007. He had 5 tackles, including 1 for a loss, and recovered a fumble (to set up a USC TD) at Utah, then had 1.5 sacks among his 2 tackles at Washington, 6 tackles against Colorado, 2 tackles and 2 deflections at Arizona, 2 tackles for loss (with a sack) among his 5 tackles against Oregon and 3 tackles (with 1.5 sacks) against Arizona State.

Grid-Wire All-American first team, Super Prep JUCO 100, JC Athletic Bureau All-State Region II first team Defensive Player of the Year and All-Golden Gate Conference first team Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore defensive end at Diablo Valley Junior College in Pleasant Hills (Calif.).

Tablet ownership in Western Europe is set to quadruple in the next five years: The percentage of European online consumers who own a tablet will increase from 14% in 2012 to 55% in 2017, according to the Forrester Research World Tablet Adoption Forecast, 2012 To 2017 (Global). This dramatic growth follows what was a pivotal year for tablets: Ownership doubled in 2012, and one in seven online Europeans now owns a tablet. The recently published Forrester report "The European Tablet Landscape" draws on our Technographics® data and looks at the profile of European tablet owners and their usage patterns. We found that:

Earlier this week, I attended a briefing with a vendor around analyzing and structuring consumer ratings and reviews; the vendor aims to give companies more guidance during the product development stage or help them understand where a current product is in its life cycle depending on the number of reviews that product is getting compared with its competitors.
The concept is interesting, but it got me thinking about the process of ratings and reviews a bit more. How many people are actually giving ratings and reviews, who are they, and why are they giving feedback?
Forrester's Consumer Technographics® global online benchmark surveys in Q2 2012 revealed a wide variation between countries in terms of the share of the online population that actually gives feedback. In metropolitan India and China, about three-quarters of online consumers post ratings/reviews of products or services at least monthly; in Brazil, it's about a third; while in the US and Europe, it's less than 20%.
However, far more people rely on ratings and reviews than give them — particularly in the US and Europe. More than 50% of US online consumers check ratings and reviews regularly, for example. And consumer reviews and ratings are the second most trusted source of online shoppers when buying a product, after family and friends.

Mobile payments saw continued innovation and competitive disruption throughout 2012, but consumer adoption lagged behind the industry hype. The Forrester Research Mobile Payments Forecast, 2012 To 2017 (US) shows that US consumers will adopt mobile payments at an accelerating rate over the next five years, reaching $90 billion by the end of 2017. Lower barriers to adoption, increased convenience, and early entrants striving for scale will be important drivers of growth.
Although the mobile wallet marketplace is still in its early stages today, players across the ecosystem are vying for consumer trust. Trust is often based on prior experiences: Forrester's North American Technographics® Retail Online Benchmark Recontact Survey, Q3 2012 (US) shows that nearly half of current US PayPal users would trust PayPal as their mobile wallet provider. However, for those who don't use PayPal, the most trusted source is a bank or credit card issuer.
The recently published Forrester report "How PayPal Uses Exploratory Research To Drive A Culture Of Customer-Focused Innovation" shows how PayPal conducts exploratory research to understand the tradeoffs and emotions related to consumer payment behaviors to create better products and experiences. The insights gathered from the research helped the product development process.
