About Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Signer of the "Declaration of Independence"
Charles Carroll of Carrollton (September 19, 1737 – November 14, 1832) was a lawyer and politician from Maryland who was a delegate to the Continental Congress and later a United States Senator. He was the last surviving and only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence.
He was born on September 19, 1737 at Annapolis, Maryland, the son of Charles Carroll of Annapolis (1702–1800) (his great grandfather was Irish Daniel Carroll). His reputed attendance at the Jesuit preparatory school at Bohemia in Cecil County cannot be confirmed from contemporary records, and he may have been schooled at home before departing for Europe, where he attended the College of St. Omer in France, and graduated from the College of Louis the Grand in 1755. He continued his studies in Europe, and read for the law in London before returning to Annapolis in 1765.
Charles Carroll of Annapolis granted Carrollton Manor to his son, Charles Carroll of Carrollton. It is from this tract of land that he took his title, "Charles Carroll of Carrollton."
Carroll was a voice for independence in Maryland. In 1772 he engaged in a debate conducted through anonymous newspaper letters and maintained the right of the colonies to control their own taxation. As a Roman Catholic, he was barred from entering politics, practicing law, and voting. However, writing in the Maryland Gazette under the pseudonym "First Citizen," he became a prominent spokesman against the governor's proclamation increasing legal fees to state officers and Protestant clergy. Carroll served on various committees of correspondence.[1]
He was commissioned with Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Chase in February 1774 to seek aid from Canada.[1] He was a member of Annapolis' first Committee of Safety in 1775. In early 1776, while not yet a member, the Congress sent him on a mission to Canada. When Maryland decided to support the open revolution, he was elected to the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and remained a delegate until 1778. He arrived too late to vote in favor of it, but was able to sign the Declaration of Independence.
His signature reads "Charles Carroll of Carrollton," which is why he has gone down in history this way. At the time he was one of the richest men in America. As he signed, an observer stated "There go a few millions." Throughout his term in Congress, he served on the board of war.
Carroll returned to Maryland in 1778 to assist in the drafting of a constitution and forming a state government. Carroll was re-elected to the Continental Congress in 1780, but he declined. He was elected to the state senate in 1781 and served there continuously until 1800.
When the United States government was created, the Maryland legislature elected him to the first United States Senate. In 1792 Maryland passed a law that prohibited any man from serving in the State and national legislatures at the same time. Since he preferred to be in the Maryland Senate, he resigned from the U. S. Senate on November 30, 1792.
Carroll retired from public life in 1801. After Thomas Jefferson became president, he had great anxiety about political activity, and was not sympathetic to the War of 1812. After both Jefferson and Adams died on July 4, 1826, he became the only surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. He came out of retirement to help create the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1827. His last public act, on July 4, 1828, was the laying of the cornerstone of the B&O's Carrollton Viaduct, named in his honor and still in use today.[2] He died on November 14, 1832 in Baltimore, and is buried in his Doughoregan Manor Chapel at Ellicott City, Maryland.
Carroll funded the building of what is known today as Homewood House, a 140 acre (570,000 m²) estate in northern Baltimore, Maryland as a wedding gift to his son, Charles Jr. and Harriet Chew. Charles Jr. then oversaw the design and construction of the house, which began construction in 1801 and had mostly finished by 1808. Research shows that he incorporated suggestions from his wife. It took five years to build and cost $40,000, four times the budgeted expense. The house never really fulfilled any of their expectations, as it did nothing to cure Charles Jr.'s idleness and alcoholism or prevent the couple from separating years later.
Homewood was donated to Johns Hopkins University in 1876 and later became its main campus. Today, Johns Hopkins operates Homewood House as a museum, and its beautiful Georgian architecture serves was the inspiration for the Hopkins' architecture.
Named in his honor are counties in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Virginia, as well as East and West Carroll Parishes, Louisiana. Also named for him is the Carroll Gardens neighborhood in Brooklyn.
In 1903 the state of Maryland added a bronze statue to the Capitol Building's National Statuary Hall Collection. It is located in the Hall of Columns
Charles of Carrollton's grandfather, Charles Carroll known as Charles Carroll the Settler, was an Irishman from Littemourna, who was a clerk in the office of Lord Powis [3]. Around the year 1659 [4], during the reign of King James II, he emigrated from England to America, thus establishing one of the most influential families in American politics. [5]
Charles' sole son was born in 1702 and named Charles. To distinguish himself from his father he was known as Charles Carroll of Annapolis [6], but is not to be confused with his son of the same name (the subject of this article).
Charles married Mary Darnall, known as Molly, on June 5, 1768. They had seven children before Molly died in 1782, but only three survived infancy: Mary, Charles Jr., and Kitty. Mary married to Richard Caton. From 1820 to 1832, Carroll would winter with the Catons in Baltimore. Charles Jr. (sometimes known as Charles Carroll of Homewood because he oversaw its design and construction) married Harriet Chew and lived in Philadelphia. Harriet was the daughter of Benjamin Chew, the chief justice of Pennsylvania, and her sister married John Eager Howard who had served in the Senate with Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Charles Jr. was an alcoholic who reportedly consumed up to two quarts of brandy a day. This led to erratic behavior that resulted in his separation from Harriet.
Today, Carroll's descendants own the largest parcel of land in Howard County, Maryland, with over 1000 acres (4 km²) of valuable, but historically preserved land in Ellicott City, Maryland.
Charles Carroll was portrayed by actor Terrence Currier in the 2004 film National Treasure starring Nicolas Cage. He is accurately described as the last living signatory of the Declaration of Independence. Carroll is inaccurately described as a Freemason in the film; Catholics are not permitted to be Freemasons. Though the film does not explicitly state Carroll's location of death as being Washington, D.C., it inaccurately implies it.
In the 1940s, newspaper journalist John Hix's syndicated column "Strange As It Seems" published an interesting (though unverified) explanation for Charles Carroll's distinctive signature on the Declaration of Independence. Every member of the Continental Congress who signed this document automatically became a criminal, guilty of sedition against King George III. Carroll, because of his wealth, had more to lose than most of his companions. Some of the signators, such as Caesar Rodney and Button Gwinnett, had unusual and distinctive names which would clearly identify them to the King; other signators, with more commonplace names, might hope to sign the Declaration without incriminating themselves.
According to Hix, when it was Carroll's turn to sign the Declaration of Independence, he rose, went to John Hancock's desk where the document rested, signed his name "Charles Carroll" and returned to his seat. At this point another member of the Continental Congress, who was prejudiced against Carroll because of his Catholicism, commented that Carroll risked nothing in signing the document, as there must be many men named Charles Carroll in the colonies, and so the King would be unlikely to order Carroll's arrest without clear proof that he was the same Charles Carroll who had signed the Declaration. Carroll immediately returned to Hancock's desk, seized the pen again, and added "of Carrollton" to his name.
However, some believe that Carroll was using the "of Carrollton" suffix signature at least as early as September 15, 1765, in a letter written to a friend in England.
may have been the last living signer of the Decloration of Independance. Also only one to list his address by his signature.
Carroll Co was named after him.

CARROLL, Charles, of Carrollton, last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, born in Annapolis, Maryland, 20 September, 1737; died in Baltimore, 14 November, 1832.
The sept of the O'Carrolls was one of the most ancient and powerful in Ireland. They were princes and lords of Ely from the 12th to the 16th century. They sprang from the kings of Munster, and intermarried with the great houses of Ormond and Desmond in Ireland, and Argyll in Scotland.
Charles Carroll, grandfather of Carroll of Carrollton, was a clerk in the office of Lord Powis in the reign of James II, and immigrated to Maryland upon the accession of William and Mary in 1689. In 1691 he was appointed judge and register of the land-office, and agent and receiver for Lord Baltimore's rents. His son Charles was born in 1702, and died in 1782, leaving his son Charles, the signer, whose mother was Elizabeth Brook.
Carroll of Carrollton, at the age of eight years, was sent to France to be educated under the care of the Society of Jesus, which had controlled the Roman Catholics of Maryland since its foundation. He remained six years in the Jesuit College at St. Omer's, one year in their College at Rheims, and two years in the College of Louis Le Grand. Thence he went for a year to Bourges to study civil law, and from there he returned to College at Paris. In 1757 he entered the Middle Temple, London, for the study of the common law, and returned to Maryland in 1765.
In June, 1768, he married Mary Darnall, daughter of Col. Henry Darnall, young lady of beauty, fortune, and ancient family. Carroll found the public mind in a ferment over many fundamental principles of government and of civil liberty. In a province founded by Roman Catholics on the basis of religious toleration, the education of Catholics in their own schools had been prohibited by law, and Carroll himself had just returned from a foreign land, whither he had been driven by the intolerance of his home authorities to seek a liberal education.
Not only were Roman Catholics under the ban of disfranchisement, but all persons of every faith and no faith were taxed to support the established church, which was the Church of England. The discussion as to the right of taxation for the support of religion soon extended from the legislature to the public press. Carroll, over the signature " The First Citizen," in a series of articles in the "Maryland Gazette," attacked the validity of the law imposing the tax.
The church establishment was defended by Daniel Dulany, leader of the colonial bar, whose ability and learning were so generally acknowledged that his opinions were quoted as authority on colonial law in Westminster hall, and are published to this day, as such, in the Maryland law reports.
In this discussion Carroll acquitted himself with such ability that he received the thanks of public meetings all over the province, and at once became one of the "first citizens." In December 1774, he was appointed one of the committee of correspondence for the province, as one of the initial steps of the revolution in Maryland, and in 1775 was elected one of the council of safety. He was elected delegate to the revolutionary convention from Anne Arundel County, which met at Annapolis, 7 December, 1775.
In January, 1776, he was appointed by the Continental congress one of the commissioners to go to Canada and induce those colonies to unite with the rest in resistance to Great Britain. On 4 July, 1776, he, with Matthew Tilghman, Thomas Johnson, William Paca, Samuel Chase, Thomas Stone, and Robert Alexander, was elected deputy from Maryland to the Continental congress.
On 12 January, 1776, Maryland had instructed her deputies in congress not to consent to a declaration of independence without the knowledge and approbation of the convention, Mainly owing to the zealous efforts of Carroll and his subsequent colleagues, the Maryland convention, on 28 June, 1776, had rescinded this instruction, and unanimously directed its representatives in congress to unite in declaring "the united colonies free and independent states," and on 6 July declared Maryland a free, sovereign, and independent state.
Armed with this authority, Carroll took his seat in congress at Philadelphia, 18 July, 1776, and on 2 August, 1776, with the rest of the deputies of the thirteen states, signed the Declaration of Independence. It is said that he affixed the addition "of Carrollton" to his signature in order to distinguish him from his kinsman, Charles Carroll, barrister, and to assume the certain responsibility himself of his act.
He was made a member of the board of war, and served in congress until 10 November, 1776. In December, 1776, he was chosen a member of the first senate of Maryland, in 1777 again sent to congress, serving on the committee that visited Valley Forge to investigate complaints against General Washington, and in 1788 elected the first senator from the state of Maryland under the constitution of the United States. He drew the short term of two years in the federal senate in 1791, and was again elected to the state senate, remaining there till 1801.
In 1797 he was one of the commissioners to settle the boundary-line between Maryland and Virginia. On 23 April, 1827, he was elected one of the directors of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company, and on 4 July, 1828, laid the foundation-stone of the beginning of that undertaking.
His biographer, John H. born Latrobe, writes to the senior editor of this Cyclopaedia:
"After I had finished my work I took it to Mr. Carroll, whom I knew very well indeed, and read it to him, as he was seated in an arm-chair in his own room in his son-in-law's house in Baltimore. He listened with marked attention and without a comment until I had ceased to read, when, after a pause, he said: 'Why, Latrobe, you have made a much greater man of me than I ever thought I was; and yet really you have said nothing in what you have written that is not true.' . . . In my mind's eye I see Mr. Carroll now--a small, attenuated old man, with a prominent nose and somewhat receding chin, small eyes that sparkled when he was interested in conversation. His head was small and his hair white, rather long and silky, while his face and forehead were seamed with wrinkles. But, old and feeble as he seemed to be, his manner and speech were those of a refined and courteous gentleman, and you saw at a glance whence came by inheritance the charm of manner that so eminently distinguished his son, Charles Carroll of Homewood, and his daughters, Mrs. Harper and Mrs. Caton."
The accompanying view represents his spacious mansion, known as Carrollton, still owned and occupied by his descendants.
--His son, Charles Carroll, married Harriet, daughter of Benjamin Chew, of Philadelphia, who, as well as her sister, Mrs. Philips, was a great favorite of General Washington. In 1796, when Gilbert Stuart painted his portrait for Mrs. William Bingham, she frequently accompanied the general to the artist's house, "as her conversation," said Washington, "will give to my countenance its most agreeable expression." Her portrait, as Harriet Chew, was executed by Col. John Trumbull, who also painted portraits of her sister Sophia Chew, Cornelia Schuyler, Julia Seymour, and many other celebrated beauties of that period. See Griswold's "Republican Court" (New York, 1879).
--The granddaughters of Charles Carroll of Carrollton became respectively Marchioness Wellesley, Duchess of Leeds, and Lady Stafford.
--A grandson, John Lee, governor of Maryland, born at Homewood, near Baltimore, Maryland, in 1830, was educated in the Roman Catholic Colleges at Georgetown, District of Columbia, at Emmettsburg, Maryland, and at Harvard law school, was admitted to the bar in 1851, removed to New York in 1859, where he served as United States commissioner, returned to Baltimore in 1862, was elected to the state senate in 1867 and again in 1871, and in 1875 elected governor. He married a daughter of Royal Phelps, of New York.
Doughoregan Manor is a mansion located on Manor Lane near Ellicott City, Maryland, USA. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 11, 1971. From 1766 to 1832, Doughoregan Manor was the country home of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. He lies buried in the chapel attached to the north end of the mansion. "Doughoregan" was a family estate in Ireland. The Georgian brick plantation house, built by Carroll's father around 1727.

Is it just a terrible blunder?
I was more than a little skeptical when I found out that Penguin had released a new short story from Jonathan Coe. Don't get me wrong; I love Coe's writing. In fact, he ranks near the top of my list of favorite living writers, but while his novels are flat out amazing, his past short story collection, the slim volume titled 9th & 13th, left a lot to be desired in terms of enjoyment.
Still, it's new Coe, and that means I had to purchase it and dive in. Interestingly enough it's available in two flavors: both as an ebook and as an audiobook narrated by the author with backing music specially created by Danny Manners. Of course I grabbed both.
Without diving too much into a technical discussion on the workings of music, the word pentatonic relates to the pentatonic scale, which contains five notes per octave. Pentatonic scales are found in music all over the world, from Africa to Albania.
Pentatonic the story is about our relationship to music, and the way a particular song can invoke different feelings in different people depending on their life experiences. This makes the audiobook version sound like an intriguing experiment. However I opted to read the ebook and save the audio for a later date.
Being that it's a short story, and that it's meant to tide folks over until Coe's 10th novel, Expo 58 arrives in September; I don't want to give too many plot details away. The basic premise revolves around the different interpretations of a particular piece of music that serves as the final nail in the coffin for the dissolution of the marriage of a British couple. The price is right ($2.89), the story is thoughtfully well executed, and as an added bonus, fans of Coe's work will notice some old friends that make a surprise return appearance.

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving imatinib mesylate together with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving imatinib mesylate together with gemcitabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced, metastatic, or recurrent pancreatic cancer.
|Pancreatic Cancer
|Drug: Gemcitabine Drug: Imatinib mesylate
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:

- Determine maximum tolerated dose according to toxicity [ Time Frame: After 1 cycle of therapy (1 cycle = 21 days) ]
- Clinical response rate [ Time Frame: After every 2 cycles of study therapy (1 cycle = 21 days) ]
- Overall survival at 6 months [ Time Frame: After 6 months of study treatment ]
|Study Start Date:
|March 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2008
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: Gemcitabine
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of imatinib mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride in patients with locally advanced, metastatic, or recurrent pancreatic cancer.
- Determine the clinical response rate in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the 6-month and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.
- Correlate response with expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and PDGF receptor in tumor tissue from patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.
- Phase I: Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once daily on days 1-14 and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8*. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-5 patients receive escalating doses of imatinib mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 5 or 3 of 5 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
NOTE: *The first cohort receives gemcitabine hydrochloride on days 1, 8, and 15
- Phase II: Patients receive imatinib mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride at the MTD determined in phase I in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 43 patients will be accrued for this study.

This document describes the workflow we use within GSA to do coverage analysis of the GATK codebase. It is primarily meant as an internal reference for team members, but are making it public to provide an example of how we work. There are a few mentions of internal server names etc.; please just disregard those as they will not be applicable to you.
ant clean with.clover unittest
Note that you have to explicitly disable scala (due to a limitation in how it's currently integrated in build.xml). Note you can use things like -Dsingle="ReducerUnitTest" as well.
It seems that clover requires a lot of memory, so a few things are necessary:
setenv ANT_OPTS "-Xmx8g"
There's plenty of memory on gsa4, so it's not a problem to require so much memory
You can add the argument -Dclover.instrument.level=statement if you want line-level resolution on the report, but note this is astronomically expensive for the entire unit test suite. It's fine though if you want to run specific run tests.

The clover files are present in a subdirectory clover_html as well as copied to your private_html/report directory. Note this can be very expensive given our large number of tests. For example, I've been waiting for the report to generate for nearly an hour on gsa4.
ant clean with.clover unittest clover.report
will clean the source, rebuild with clover engaged, run the unit tests, and generate the clover report. Note that currently unittests may be failing due to classcast and other exceptions in the clover run. We're looking into it. But you can still run clover.report after the failed run, as the db contains all of the run information, even through it failed (though failed methods won't be counted).
Here's a real-life example of assessing coverage in all BQSR utilities at once:
ant clean with.clover unittest -Dclover.instrument.level=statement -Dsingle="recalibration/*UnitTest" clover.report
Clover can make the tests very slow. Currently we are run in method count only mode (we don't have line number resolution (looking into fixing this). Also note that running with clover over the entire unittest set requires 32G of RAM (set automatically by ant).
This workflow is appropriate for developing unit tests for a single package or class. The turn-around time for clover on a single package is very fast, even with statement-level coverage. The overall workflow looks like:
Here's a concrete example. Right now I'm looking at the unit test coverage for GenomeLoc, one of the earliest and most important classes in the GATK. I really want good unit test coverage here. So I start by running GenomeLoc unit tests specifically:
ant clean with.clover unittest -Dsingle="GenomeLocUnitTest" -Dclover.instrument.level=statement clover.report
Next, I open up the clover coverage report in clover_html/index.html in my GATK directory, and landing on the Dashboard. Everything looks pretty bad, but that's because I only ran the GenomeLoc tests, and it displays the entire project coverage. I click on the "Coverage" link in the upper-left frame, and scroll down to the package where GenomeLoc lives (org.broadinstitute.sting.utils). At the bottom of this page I find my two classes, GenomeLoc and GenomeLocParser.CachingSequenceDictionary:
These have ~50% statement-level coverage each. Not ideal, really.
Let's dive into GenomeLoc itself a bit more. Clicking on the GenomeLoc link brings up to the code coverage page. Here you can see a few things very quickly.
For methods with poor test coverage (branches or overall) I'd look into their uses, and try to answer a few questions:
If the code needs tests, I would design specific unit tests (or data providers that cover all possible cases) for these function. Once that newly-written code is in place, I would rerun the ant tasks above to get updated coverage information, and continue until I'm satisfied.

Since 1993, Women for Women International has helped thousands of female survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts rebuild their lives and regain their sense of self. Through our year long programs, women are given the tools they need to get back on their feet and contribute to their community.
Founded by Zainab Salbi, Women for Women International operates in eight countries and helps women transform from victim to survivor to active citizen. Our programs provide:
Women for Women International operates through direct donations and a unique sponsorship program, in which one woman sponsors a woman in one of our countries' programs.
Since Women for Women International was founded:
Our work is not done. In the countries where we operate, many women are still unaware of their rights, are illiterate, experience high infant mortality rates and have not been given the chance to rehabilitate from the traumatic events of their lives.
The women who come to our programs are survivors—examples of the power of investing in women and girls worldwide.
In 2006, Lisa Shannon's life changed. She was watching an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," on which Women for Women International founder and CEO Zainab Salbi was explaining the crisis facing women in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). "I learned about Congo, widely called the worst place on earth to be a woman," Lisa said. "Awakened to the atrocities—millions dead, women being raped and tortured, children starving and dying in shocking numbers—I had to do something."
Moved by DRC survivors' stories, Lisa took action, sponsoring two women in the DRC and starting a program called Run for Congo Women.
Lisa began running alone, raising nearly $28,000 on her first run. The movement has since expanded to runs and walks throughout the United States. Run for Congo Women participants have raised more than $600,000 — enough money to sponsor 1,444 women in the DRC.
During January and February 2007, Lisa traveled to Eastern DRC's South Kivu province, and returned again in May 2008 and February 2010.
Experiences from her trips inspired her newly released book, "A Thousand Sisters" (Seal Press, 2010). "'A Thousand Sisters' is a portrait
of the world's deadliest civil war through the intimate lens of friendship," Lisa said.
Since 2006, Lisa was:
Lisa currently lives in her hometown of Portland, Oregon, where a run will take place this summer—she no longer runs alone.
To learn more about Lisa and women in the DRC, visit the Web site for her book, "A Thousand Sisters," at www.athousandsisters.com.
Women for Women International supports women in war and post-war regions—like our sisters in the Democratic Republic of the Congo— with financial assistance, job skills training, rights awareness education, trauma counseling, and small business assistance so they can rebuild their lives.

First thing to point out here is that the repair will render the rear part of your sunroof totally inoperable , what I mean is that you can still use your shades and slide the front glass open and tilt the front glass but the rear will remain permanently closed . Obviously if there is any other problems with your roof other than the rear stuck open this will not help. As a newby on this forum I will not disclose the fix in public if you wish to find out please feel free to contact me and send me your email so I can send the photos and details . The fix can be done by any one with some simple home tools and believe it or not takes no more than five minutes to do . Howard
Hi Howard,
I am having this exact issue with my sunroof and would love to know the process to fix the issue. Could you please email me the details so my nightmare goes away email:

Most auto dark are too dark for MIG IMO. I have an auto dark adjustable shade set on #10 that I love. My problem is position and always starting the arc in the wrong place and get tired of flipping the helmet up and down to reposition or working in a confined area that you really can't flip it up. MARTINSR has a nice set up with that helmet and if I did welding for a job,would consider it myself.
Problem with some of the adjustable shade's is the "curtain" effect some of the cheap one's have. You can see the shade part before your eye's while adjusting and does not offer quality vision all across the shield.
Mine I got a harbor awhile back seem's to be a full vision shade adjust.It was around $80.00 on sale and I have not seen any like it in the store since.
Bee, you apparently have the hood with the "Chameleon" lens which just happens to be the very same lens from the same manufacturer that makes them for the Hobart and Miller hoods, only the shell is different the lens is the same thing but for less than half the price (I have noticed recently that the newer Hobart/Miller hood has a new style lens and I don't know if it is the "Chameleon"). I have a Jackson that cost well over $400 and it is no better for the mentioned problem than any hood I have used including the Hobart/Miller/Harbor Freight which, BTW, is a very good outfit. I am not saying this a problem for everyone but it certainly is for me and apparently Modas also so that is why I would like to have someone try that little test I mentioned and see if this is a common problem. I found that the ability to see the seam greatly improved with the "stone age" hood to the point that I now use it instead but as you pointed out the initial arc start can be tricky.
I'll check the 2 next time I'm in the welding place.
The helmet itself is kind of elongated and you need some room to swing it up.
I'd like a smaller,more contoured one and one that has some type of top on it.
Man, Those sparks can really find their way to the top of your head.
I took on of those leather sleeve's and cut it to fit over the top and back of my head and fastened it along the top with a snap kit.Kinda like a Legionair cap deal. Welding cap's are a hassle,for me anyway, and this really helps.
I've been using an auto for a while, miller $350 it has a bunch of setting on it but its still kind of , i don't know, not just right, there is always some little thing, like it goes dark when I don't want it to and the flip mech is a real P.O.S. I prefer it for tig or if i have a long row of tacks, but if I am just blowing mig wire or stick I just go grab my old Jackson wide screen.
Now one little thing to think about If you are right handed....and you are insistent on pushing don't take it over literal. your wire entry should not be at more than about a 30 degree angle.... does that make sense? Its not a scraper. and you have to pick your position so if your right handed you can weld from left to right that way you can see your puddle all the time , if you go right to left the gun will get in the way and you wont be able to see what you are doing.
tip 2 stick you face in there thats why you have a hood, your glass should be 8-10" away until you figure out what it is that you are looking at. don't be a chicken just wear ear plugs so you don't get a flaming spark of death in your ear. Try and post some pictures.
okay, don't flame me i'm new. (Great mig welding instruction by the way)
When your looking at the puddle while dragging, what exactley are you looking at? Are you looking @ the height buildup to be even with the part you have already welded? It seems i have my prettiest welds when i'm dragging, with the gun probably at about a 30 degree angle. My problem i have a hard time seeing the bead pool because the gun is in the way. So i just ocolate with a rythym & keep a steady pace. I tried pushing a few times & i feel like a spastic. lack of control Thanks Any help would be greatley appreciated!
What you are looking at? well that is the big question isn't it!
When you drag your weld it also makes it more difficult to see what you are looking for, not only because the gun is in the way but because you cant see the mechanics of the things that are going on with your fill material.
Basic size rule: fillet weld should be equal to the material thickness say you are welding 1/4 plate butt joint, there is no need for a 1/2 weld because it can not be stronger than the parent material.
but if you are welding a 1/4 to 1/4 "T" then you can get away with 50% if you weld both sides.
what you are looking for is penetration, how deep the weld is going into the parent material, size, and an equal face, which means you want your weld to overlap both pieces of parent material equally. They may be tricky to understand with out looking at it. For example you want to weld both pieces together not weld one piece and let the weld roll over to the other, you can accomplish that by oscillating the filler metal within the face area. The root is important too but you really cant see that usually.
the only other thing i can add is don't take the push pull thing to literal, when I can i extend my arms as far as comfortable, slightly angle the gun head towards my body, and pull it to my self. I am right handed so I am pushing the weld from right to left its all in the head angle that determines if you are pulling or pushing. to pull the weld it would be the opposite angle away from my body and I couldn't see the weld because the gun would be in the way.
oh and you want to watch the filler metal contact the parent metal as best you can.
I hope that helped
thanks, any advice i can get helps. yesterday i was welding 15" channel to 18" channel. If you were to weld those pieces horizontaly, how wide would your weld be & do you oscillate or just keep the tip still. Sorry just trying to get a good feel for this.
Most times, unless i am putting down something big, i don't make letters. I just go front to back, kind of like a scraping motion. lead it a little to stick the root and then back up to build it up. these are just quick little flips. I keep meaning to do some little passes and taking some pictures but time is well money. If I feel like screwing around and my weld face is 1/2" or better I will make a "P" loop because my first name is Patrick.It never really looks like a "p" just a weld but whatever. The angle that you approach the weld also makes them different. It's hard to explain but you can kind of" bounce or bank" the weld to prevent unwanted undercut, Undercut when the weld leaves scars in parent material.
The best and prettiest, is a nice hot ,rounded face fillet with no oscillation, oscillation leaves puddle makes more like a tig weld where the other is just a nice smooth weld, all preference really.
how thick is the material? on that channel? 1/4", and what are you using it for?
Question on Mig Welding - HOW to
We have a welder here in town that is one of the best i have ever seen, and he wears nothing but a set of goggles, says he never liked a helmet.This guy is always welding beer cans to show off what he can do, and its great to watch him do it. He never has to grind a weld down, and most of the time it looks like one piece. I dont no how he does it, just a great welder. To bad hes stuck in a small town.I am not the best welder but they hold and i have to grind alot. I have two auto darkning helments and have a problem starting my welds cause i cant see the area good enough. And they were not cheap to buy, so i guess i waisted my money.
Thats a very good safety lesson Brian,, I can certainly attest to the damage welding can do to your eyes,,, I know all of you have seen these PROFESSIONAL rod builders on T.V...Tac welding something WITHOUT a hood of any kind,,,that is about the most stupid thing you can do,, I have done it for years,, now I am starting to pay the consciences,, My eyes have gone from 20/20 to cataracts in about 10 years,, My vision was getting pretty bad a couple of years ago,, so I thought I needed new glasses,, when checking my eyes for glaucoma,, the dr said I had VERY high tolerance for bright light, HUMMM I thought ,,, I been getting to much welding flash,,, but its a little too late to worry about that now,, I have to go in and have cataracts surgery next month,, Dr says its caused from either too much direct SUNLIGHT???? and aging [more like too much welding with out a hood, TACING or otherwise, its still flashing]
So be good to your self and use a good helmet,, regardless of the type,
the same goes for the other safety equipment also,, Bill

get a 65 watt flood light and mount it on a stand so you can adjust it . with it you can see your gap and your weld even with the lens darkened. as long as it's slightly behind and downward it wont activate your helmet. i also use a 1.25 lens so i can see better and not wear my glasses.
Bill, If you watch those guys on tv you will also see them MIG and TIG welding in a T-shirt with their arms bare! Some guys really do this and will laugh at you if you try to tell them about the hazards(the guy welding with only goggles is just plain stupid if he is arc welding). I think most of those TV guys just jump in for the camera and probably don't really weld all that much dressed like that but I guess maybe some do. We could probably start a big disagreement here by getting on this subject because guys who do this will not listen anyway and just have to learn the hard way

Play time!
Hello all,
I just wanted to get some different peoples plans on exercise and playing :) I'd love to hear everyone's different approaches so if you have something that you like to do with your puppy for play / exercise, post it here! especially those that live in the mid west, as I live in ND so she(at least for the time being) is an inside puppy due to the extremely cold winter.
Indoor tug -make sure she ends up winning, using a flit pole so she can chase that. Also nose games - hide a treat under one of 3 cups - she guesses which cup, then work up to hiding the treat somewhere in the same room. Also "helping" with housework, have her follow you around while you do chores - it helps to tie the leash to you - she gets exercise and has to pay attention to where you are going, also a great way to catch any housebreaking accidents.

As anyone who suffers from recurrent cold sores knows, herpes is a master escapist. This family of viruses – including strains that cause lesions on the genitals, infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever) and, in some cases, blindness and birth defects – is able to wriggle free of the body's defences, reactivating after lying dormant for long periods. Now a new drug that denies the virus its means of escape could lead to treatments that keep herpes locked up for good.
When the virus infects cells, the body defends itself by wrapping up the viral genome in a structure that blocks its genes from being expressed. The virus can escape this straitjacket, though, by hijacking some of the cell's own enzymes to unwrap itself. Once freed, the virus takes hold and spreads.
Thomas Kristie at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues have developed a drug that inhibits the enzymes the virus uses to free itself – stopping it from escaping. "The virus becomes silent," says Kristie.

New York's version of the Entrepreneur School, under the auspices of Sage Innovations, is led by Karin Manske. "I love being my own boss and having my own business," says Beverly D., one of the participants, who is an entrepreneur who works as a hairdresser, gives hair parties, has her own product line and trains other stylists as well. "I've worked for other people for many years, and after having my own business, I know I will never go back." It's because of the school, she says, that she has decided to open a rock n' roll salon in Times Square to the school. "It was through telling my story to other women about what I've done and what I want to do, that I saw what was possible." And Beverly says she is ready for the next challenge in her life, a daughter. "I would love to raise a little girl. I see how my sisters are with my nieces and it's like they're being limited by the system. They are trained that they can't get what they want. They have to choose one thing or another. When you are raised with the example of entrepreneurship, you see that anything is possible, you can have it all. You create your life based on your talents and on what you want." She describes the inadvertent effects of the school. "It's brought me closer to other women. I have a tendency to isolate. With the school, I see these women at least once a week and we get to know one another very well. I get my intimacy needs met this way." She also sees the idea is spreading, "I'm always shocked by other women's reactions when I tell them about what I do. They see how I'm free with money, that I travel, they think it's glamorous. They want my life." Maria Vollner, one of the earliest participants of the school, says one of her first assignments was to get pregnant. "The other women saw this was what I wanted and it was hurting me to not go for it. Now, I'm pregnant, married, and have my own business. I never imagined I could live this way. I never even thought I could sing country music!" Formerly part of a dance troupe in Dusseldorf, she says she was stuck in a routine, wasn't happy and wasn't making much money. "I kept thinking, I have to choose a business or a baby. At the school I saw I could have it all. 'Get a boyfriend,' they said. I did. Now I have my own singing group, 'The First Ladies', and I also tour with my now-husband, as a country duo." But that's not the only change for her. "I make upwards of $4000 per month. This is way more than what I earned before. It's because I am learning sales, project management and how to be professional in business relationships. It makes a huge difference." Irene Xander, speaking from experience, concurs, "If there is one message I could give to women everywhere, it would be have the courage to stand up for your life, make money, play, cooperate and contribute to what is going on in the world. We can create a better future for our children this way."

Peugeot 207
Most people buy the Peugeot 207 for its looks, but it's more than just a pretty face. …
It's the quintessential fleet car, but that doesn't stop the third-generation Renault Laguna offering great value on the used market. Higher than average depreciation from new means you get a lot of car for your money.
Previous models had a stodgy ride, but this version of the Laguna, introduced in 2007, is good to drive, has sharp steering and plenty of grip through corners. However, the firm ride can be uncomfortable on some roads.
Wind and road noise is kept to a minimum - even at motorway speeds.
Knee- and legroom is good throughout the cabin, but the sloping roofline will cause problems for taller rear-seat passengers. The boot is too shallow, which limits practicality.
The quality of cabin materials, and the contemporary design of the dashboard give the Renault an upmarket feel.

Gordon Ramsay named highest earning chef in U.S.
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With 24 restaurants around the world, 11 Michelin stars, numerous cookbooks, and TV shows, Gordon Ramsay is the top earning chef in the United States, with an estimated global income of $38 million, according to a new list by Forbes.com.
Scottish-born Ramsey, known to U.S. television audiences for his acerbic comments on "Master Chef" and "Hell's Kitchen", surpassed Rachael Ray, who earned an estimated $25 million for the year ending June 2012 from her TV show, magazine and cookbooks.
Austrian-born Wolfgang Puck, whose 20 restaurants contributed to his $20 million in earnings, came in third on the list of top earning chefs who have a strong presence in the United States. Puck is based in California.
"They are very diversified," said Dorothy Pomerantz of Forbes.com. "There is nobody who just has restaurants. TV is a huge factor in making this list because they make so much more money from television than they can from their restaurants."
Merchandising and cookbooks also pumped up their incomes, Pomerantz said in an interview.
Completing the list's top five were Paula Deen, the southern U.S. cook criticized for buttery recipes and for becoming a pharmaceutical company spokeswoman after she was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and Mario Batali, co-owner of more than a dozen restaurants and one of the stars of TV's "The Chew." They earned $17 million and $13 million, respectively.
Celebrity chefs were not the only people making big money in food. Some restaurants also had huge earnings.
Bob Chinn's Crab House restaurant in Wheeling, Illinois, made about $24 million, not including alcohol sales, and was named the top earning restaurant in the United States. Continued...

Following Public Pressure, Metro Will Add More Bus Service to DC's Busiest Corridor
Additional morning rush hour service is coming to Metro's busiest bus corridor in Washington after the Dupont Circle Advisory Neighborhood Commission took commuters' complaints to the transit authority.
The S bus line on 16th Street NW, a historic gateway into downtown D.C., is struggling to meet ridership demand. Buses are often packed before reaching the southern stretch of the route and cannot squeeze additional passengers aboard, leaving rush hour commuters waiting in long lines at bus stops in Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, and near Dupont Circle. Some commuters eventually give up and hop in taxis.
"I went out to the bus stops and I saw taxicabs pull up to the long lines, seeing a business opportunity and offering to take them downtown, because the buses weren't working for our city," says Kishan Putta, a commissioner on the Dupont Circle ANC.
Putta tried to solicit commuters' concerns on Facebook and Twitter but drew his largest response the old fashioned way: he put up posters at bus stops asking commuters to contact him.
"We took those stories and those complaints to Metro and they agreed to meet us," in January, Putta says. "They had to admit in public this is a big problem."
Putta provided the following example of a typical commuter complaint about crowding on the S line.
"I actively chose to walk 45 minutes to work during every day this week rather than take the bus despite the temperatures in the teens and howling winds," the commuter's complaint said. "On the one day when I decided it would be better for my health and well-being to take the bus I waited at the bus stop for 20 minutes."
"Just this week it has taken me 45-50 minutes to get from 16th & V to 14th & I, and anywhere from 4 to 6 buses have passed the stop each morning because they are too crowded to accept any more passengers," another complaint said.
Metro has been aware of S line bus crowding for years but its efforts haven't kept up with growing ridership. In 2009 the S9, which makes limited stops on 16th Street NW, was added during morning and evening rush hours to alleviate crowding.
"Bus ridership remains strong especially with all the new residents moving into the district," says Metro spokesman Dan Stessel. "There are new residential units along this corridor and so we want to make sure we are providing service for the folks who want it."
Stessel says Metro has yet to decide on a name for the new S service, but says it will begin on Monday, March 25. An additional bus will arrive at 16th Street and Harvard NW every 12 minutes from 7:30 to 9:15 weekday mornings. A total of nine additional trips will go down 16th Street, then left on I St to 14th Street. Then the buses will head back to Columbia Road NW. The extra capacity will carry between 400 and 500 commuters on a busy morning.
"This issue didn't just crop up two months ago. We've been working on the S line and broader issues related to the S line for more than a year now," Stessel says. "That said, the relationship we've had over the last two months with the ANC has been nothing but constructive."
"I will take my hat off to Metro," says Putta. "They were responsive. We worked together on coming up with possible options."
Still no answer to 16th Street traffic
Putta concedes that while the additional morning rush hour bus service will help move commuters south on 16th Street, the district faces a bigger task in mitigating the corridor's notorious traffic congestion.
"As with a lot of these long-term solutions, you would need to do a transition so that you would hopefully get less people driving. And of course, the physical limitations of the road are definitely an issue," says Putta, referring to the possibility of creating a bus-only lane on 16th Street during rush hour.
Metro's Stessel says the transit authority is working on a solution.
"It's an ongoing dialogue that we have not only with DDOT but with all of the jurisdictions," Stessel says. "A major milestone will be achieved about a year from now when we launch what is true BRT (bus rapid transit) in the region for the first time. That will be on the Virginia side of the river in partnership with Alexandria and Arlington."
The Route 1 Transitway will run buses every six minutes in dedicated lanes from Braddock Road in Arlington north to Crystal City.
"We hope that will spark other jurisdictions to consider, if not true BRT, perhaps traffic signal prioritization or more bus lanes," says Stessel. "From a public policy perspective, if you have a vehicle that has 50 people in it, that really should get priority over a car that has one person in it."

Boylan's Weiskircher Reflects On Run
After another Boylan volleyball win, the best player the area has ever produced took a second to reflect on an amazing four year ride. Bryanna Weiskircher will play at
"It's been an amazing experience. We've grown so much and getting to play varsity as a freshman and the past four years has just been an amazing experience," Weiskircher said.
Bryanna has led Boylan to what will be four straight NIC-10 championships, but it's tough to figure out who deserves more credit for her development.
"She leads by example, she's a vocal leader and that's something that, especially with her position, is really important," Boylan volleyball coach Amanda Carlson said.
Weiskircher was equally complimentary of her coach. "Amanda is an amazing coach and I couldn't ask for anything better."
Volleyball is as much a team game as any, but it's clear the Titans will miss Bryanna once she's graduated and moved on.
"It's been a lot of fun. She's a lot of fun to coach…it's hard to put into words," Carlson admitted.
Despite all the wins and success that the Boylan Titans have had during Weiskircher's four years, it's the relationships she'll miss the most.
"We're really like a family. I have never been this close with a team before. We get along really well and it comes out when we're on the court."

DENVER - The University of Denver men's lacrosse team (6-4, 1-0 ECAC) opened Eastern College Athletic Conference play with a 17-13 victory over the Hobart Statesmen (2-6, 0-3 ECAC) on Saturday afternoon at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium.
The crowd of 1,500 fans witnessed a game that included a combined 30 goals, 76 shots, 69 ground balls and 21 saves, to go along with five lead changes and four tied scores.
"With a win like this you try not to accentuate the negative things that happened during the game, but rather focus on the positive things that helped us to stay in the game early, go on those scoring rallies and eventually stop Hobart's scoring rallies to seal the win," said head coach Bill Tierney. "The offense was really prepared today and shot the lights out against a really good goalie and I couldn't be happier with their performance today. We struggled a bit on defense and that is something that we are going to work on as we prepare for Bellarmine and Quinnipiac next weekend."
Sophomore Alex Demopoulos (Canton, Conn.) led the Pioneers with four goals and two assists to finish with six points, while sophomores Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario) and Patrick Rogers (Portland, Ore.) both netted three goals apiece.
Also jumping into the scoring column for the Pioneers was junior Andrew Lay (Denver, Colo.) with two goals, while seniors Nick Gradinger (Del Mar, Calif.), Dillon Roy (Denver, Colo.) and Charley Dickenson (Dallas, Texas), and freshmen Colin Scott (Ridgefield, Conn.) and Alejandro Brown (Amherst, Mass.) all added a goal each.
Along with scoring his first goal of the season, Roy also finished the day with a career-high 12 ground balls, caused three turnovers and won 13-of-24 face-offs for a 54.2 face-off winning percentage.
For the third straight game, senior Peter Lowell (Freeport, Maine) made 10 saves to secure his third win of the season.
Denver remains at home to host two conference games next weekend, welcoming Bellarmine and Quinnipiac to the Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. The Pioneers will face-off against Bellarmine on Friday, April 9 at 7 p.m., and Quinnipiac on Sunday, April 11 at 11 a.m. Tickets are just $9 and can be purchased through www.TicketMaster.com or through the DU Ticket Office.

The grants will fund services that benefit law enforcement, prosecution and courts from Astoria to Enterprise
Attorney General John Kroger announced today that he is awarding more than $800,000 in grants the Department of Justice received from the U.S. government to organizations around Oregon that work to protect women from violence.
"These grants, which are funded by the federal government, will help protect women from violence and boost the economy," said Attorney General Kroger.
Grant recipients include domestic violence shelters, district attorneys programs and police agencies in Bend, Medford, Beaverton and other cities and counties around Oregon.
More information about the grant process is available at the Oregon Department of Justice website.
Grant recipients include:
Wallowa County District Attorney's Office (Enterprise): $13,014
Clatsop County Women's Resource Center (Astoria): $58,699
Community Works (Medford): $73,535
Coos County District Attorney's Office (Coquille): $37,500
Grant County District Attorney's Office (John Day): $16,573
Jackson County District Attorney's Office (Medford): $64,553
Lane County District Attorney's Office (Eugene): $79,970
Malheur County District Attorney's Office (Vale): $55,057
Marion County District Attorney's Office (Salem): $48,267

Salem Police Department: $65,690
Saving Grace (Bend): $43,712

An additional $800,000 will be distributed through a non-competitive process to non-profit domestic and sexual violence programs throughout the state. The grant amounts have not been finalized.
The Department of Justice also is in the process of sending out applications for law enforcement, prosecution, courts and non-profit victim services agencies that want to apply for a portion of a new $1.9 million Violence Against Women Act federal stimulus grant.
Kroger and a coalition of Oregon prosecutors, sheriffs, police chiefs and victims' advocates are attempting to win as many federal stimulus grants for Oregon law enforcement as possible.
If successful, this effort will help maintain sheriffs, police chiefs and district attorneys to keep officers on the street and prosecutors in Oregon courtrooms.
The grant applications were handled by Diana Fleming, VAWA Grant Coordinator, and grant assistant Mackenzie Gray, in DOJ's Crime Victims Services Division. Assistant Attorney General Harry Wilson is coordinating law enforcement grants for the Department of Justice and its law enforcement partners.
Attorney General John Kroger leads the Oregon Department of Justice. The Department's mission is to fight crime and fraud, protect the environment, improve child welfare, and defend the rights of all Oregonians.

text: Yes it is an excellent powder especially in the .223 REM. It is pretty much the same as h335. WC 846 is similar to Bl-C2 and WC 852 is the same as H-380. WC 680 is the same as win680 and a hair faster than aa-1680. WC 820 is the same as h-110 or win 296 powder. All are excellent as well as WC 860 (50 cal) and WC 872 (20MM Cannon) I've used all and they are all excellent and a bargain. I used to get it for $64/8lb keg and the 860 and 872 for $32/8lb keg.

Berry spelt muffins recipe
These delicious berry spelt muffins are easy to whip up and perfect for lunch boxes.
- 2 cups (300g) plain spelt flour
- 1 cup (225g) of sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bi-carb powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 75g oil or melted butter (we use butter or coconut oil)
- 1 cup (250ml) milk or yoghurt
- 1 cup frozen berries
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan-forced). Line a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, bi-carb and salt.
In a jug, mix the remaining ingredients except for the berries.
Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and combine until a smooth batter is formed. If you use yoghurt instead of milk you may want to add a splash of milk or water in this final step to thin the batter a bit.
Gently stir in the frozen berries. Pour mixture into a tray.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden on top and baked through the middle.
- Although this recipe is for very sweet and delicious berry spelt muffins, the basic recipe can be re-used to make any sort of muffins you like depending on the addition of fruit and flavours.
- You could also try chocolate chips, sliced banana, chopped dried fruit, nuts or any combination of these things.
