This bass means business.
The MTD ZX 5-String Electric Bass Guitar is made for serious players. The ZX features a carved mahogany body with a maple-burl top finished in a translucent gloss black. It comes loaded with custom Bartolini pickups and preamp, hand-installed in the U.S. It has a wide range of tones and will fit perfectly in any genre of music.
The bass guitar's neck has an asymmetrical curve, thicker on the bass side and thinner on the treble side, offering your fretting hand greater comfort. The ZX 5-string bass includes volume, pickup pan controls, as well as treble, mid, and bass EQ knobs. The tone is incredibly full and capable of massive bottom end without loss of clarity or definition. The pickup position, string spacing, and low action make slapping the MTD ZX bass a dream. Cut the treble and add some bass EQ to produce a classic warm blues thump, or center the knobs and crank the ZX bass's volume for crisp, metal tones.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Affalterbach Edition exclusive to Canada
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Mercedes-Benz is offering a special edition of its all-conquering C63 AMG sports sedan exclusive to the Canadian market, and it is a tempting piece of kit to be sure. Called the Affalterbach edition, it's named after the headquarters of the Mercedes performance vehicles division. Not that the "standard" C63 AMG needed much improvement, but this special edition is further distinguished by a special Magno Allanite Grey paint job with 19-inch black alloys, red brake calipers, carbon-fiber door mirror housings and a front lip spoiler.
AMG has also fitted the Performance Package as standard, giving the Affalterbach edition 481 horsepower for a 4.4-second sprint to 62 miles per hour – 100 km/h in Canadian metric terms. The interior has likewise been distinguished by black Nappa leather upholstery with contrasting red stitching and carbon fiber trim. Only 30 examples will be made, selling at CDN $81,500 apiece if you can get your hands on one.

Are fiscal conservatives even certain of what they're arguing about?
One of the problems fiscal conservatives have is that most of them can't actually agree about what they are conservative about.
By Alex Hern Published 31 August 2012 12:05One of the problems fiscal conservatives have is that most of them can't actually agree about what they are conservative about. Debt? Deficit? Absolute, or relative? And how should we talk about the issue?
For instance, one would guess from their name that deficit hawks care about the deficit – that is, the amount that a country spends each year in excess of the amount of revenue it receives, officially called (in Britain, at least) public sector net borrowing (PSNB). Last year, PSNB stood at a shade over £120bn, and this year, it's forecast to be £91.9bn. That's the government's deficit reduction strategy at work, albeit at far slower work than we were promised in 2010.
But other fiscal conservatives go after debt (the official measure of which, Public Sector Net Debt, stands at £1.03trn). Fraser Nelson, for instance, condems the elision between the two in today's Telegraph:
Cameron faces the same problem. He says he is "dealing with the debt" when he is actually increasing the national debt by as much as Labour proposed: an almighty £600 billion. But he has not yet been rumbled. An unpublished YouGov poll by Policy Exchange, taken after last year's Budget, found that just 14 per cent of voters realised the national debt is rising. Another poll, released this week, found that only 10 per cent see what's going on. Now, just as under Labour, ministers play word games and talk about "cutting the deficit", knowing that most voters will hear "cutting the debt". Astonishingly, almost half of British voters think that debt is falling.
It's certainly the case that debt is rising, and will be rising for some time. And confusing debt and deficit – as, say, Nick Clegg does – is unacceptably economically illiterate. But it's unclear how, exactly, being a "debt hawk" would work.
It is emphatically not the case that Britain can begin reducing its debt any time soon. For all that Nelson attacks the government for increasing the national debt, to reduce it would entail turning a deficit into a surplus overnight. Just considering the pain involved in entering into a seven-year deficit reduction program, doing it any faster would be politically impossible.
And in fact, given the various multipliers in effect from government spending, it may be economically impossible as well. There is strong evidence to suggest that the mere fact of trying to cut the deficit too quickly led to the contraction we're now experiencing; and that contraction has reduced government revenue and increased mandatory spending to a degree that makes it difficult to do any deficit reduction at all.
Being a debt hawk would thus seem to necessarily imply being a deficit hawk, at least for the time being. When – if – the structural deficit is eliminated, then the two groups can argue over whether debt should start being reduced; but while there is a deficit, it's silly to pretend that national debt going up is somehow surprising, and unless you want to go full Paul Ryan, you aren't going to get rid of it in a year.
All of this confusion is compounded by the fact that if it's unclear what we ought to be trying to reduce, it's doubly unclear how we ought to go about measuring it. Debt hawks favour quoting absolute figures, like those I've used at the top of the post, because frankly one trillion pounds sounds a lot more than "65.7 per cent of GDP". Yet the latter is probably a more accurate representation of where we are; for one thing, it allows us to accurately compare the economic situation with similar ones from history, as this chart (from Wikimedia Commons) does:
And for another, it conveys an important truth about the debt, which is that we can shrink it in two ways: either by paying it off, or by growing our economy big enough that what's remaining doesn't matter. This is the truth behind arguments over "deficit reduction versus growth".
But there is an even better way to discuss the national debt that in terms of a ratio to GDP, and that is in terms of it's cost.
The only downside to having debt is that you have to pay interest on it. But more debt doesn't necessarily mean higher interest payments – in fact, it's the exact opposite. Joe Weisenthal explains:
Using data from Bloomberg, we looked at basically all of the big emerging and developed markets* with a big bond market, and good data on debt to GDP and decided to check to see if there was any connection at all between debt to GDP and the yield on their 10-year bonds.
The answer, quite clearly, is no.
In fact, using an exponential regression, we detect a slight shift down and to the right, meaning that the more debt a country has relative to its GDP, the cheaper it is to borrow.
As debt goes up, interest rates go down. So doubling debt doesn't double interest payments, and halving debt doesn't mean you pay half as much servicing it. In chart form, that claim looks like this:
Our interest rates are so ridiculously depressed at the moment that even though we've almost doubled our national debt to GDP ratio, the amount we pay to service our debt has barely gone up by half.
This is what the debt hawks should be looking at. Not debt to GDP, and certainly not absolute debt; nothing matters to debt except the cost of holding it. And that cost doesn't present a particularly compelling reason for cutting it.
6 comments
When people speak of the govt cuts they should really say deficit reduction or reducing the amount our debts are increasing by, we may never ever get to a situation, where we will reduce our debts we did not manage in the noughties when the economy was booming and tax income was bouyant through booms in finance and property. I think those days are long gone forever. What we need to think about really is increased infrastructure spend and reduction in current spending i.e. state services and benefits. We also need to think about how we will power the export sector and provide real improvements in the income balance.
All the talk of government debt and yet private debt (financial, corporate and household) completely dwarfs it standing at something like 450% of GDP! Which do you think has more of a bearing on the economy? And crucially which type of debt is more of a problem to maintain, given that via the BoE the government issues the currency that all it's debt is nominated in? Which company or household does that?!
Private sector deleveraging (saving) means government debt will grow, pretty much independent what government does. Politicians need to understand the causal effect goes economy to deficit and not the other way around.
Does it make sense, though, for a government with high debt levels to issue more debt in order to buy its own debt? Yet that is what the US and UK have been doing.
It may or may not make sense, Charles, depending upon whether the cost of the new debt is greater or smaller then the cost of the old. It is the same case as when an individual with high credit card balances asks himself if he could do better by paying of his credit cards with a fixed-term bankloan.
Clegg's understanding of economy is pathetic . It makes sense considering how easily he changed his mind on deficit handling.
It's basic stuff knowing difference between total debt and deficit. I really get the sense that Clegg , Osborne and Cameron haven't considered and asked difficult questions of themselves
At times of economic uncertainty leaders have to be open minded and innovative. Those three saw what happened inthe 80s and are attempting to repeat the trick. It's hopelessly inadequate , stupid and lazy.
Most mainstream economists understand that the distribution of wealth has become so polarised that it's damaging the economy severely. You don't have be a socialist to realise that. It's pragmatism that more money has to be put into the hands of people who spend it.
Flailing around in out of date neo liberalism is idiotic without even considering morals

I am developing my website to the membership area part which will enormously help me and my clients communicate through web-based channel, then I come to the dilemma whether should I hand-code every single part of this project management tools myself (which I don't have much time but I prefer perfection, very nice user interface, and well-rounded functionality) or should I seek the abundant paid tools which are available but expensive out there on the Internet. I do like Solo (thrivesolo), its interface and functionality, seems to answer almost of my basic requirement but the problem is Client access area part of their site isn't implemented yet and lack of some features I need. My question are:
Should I develop my own project management tools myself, is it worth it? As I don't seem to find anything out there which fits my entire needs: client login, file sharing and display (upload and download), questionnaire management, basic support features, insert some products for them to choose and pay, and billing section for them to pay the invoice.
Do you know any web-based project management software out there which provides everything I've just described with free trial period at least and must have very nice user interface like Solo and Basecamp?

Star brite, the Florida-based leading U.S. manufacturer of marine care and appearance items, will highlight one of its stellar products, Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment, as the Presenting Sponsor of the inaugural Bassmaster Classic Wild Card.
Hello everyone. We are talking about the acronym D.R.E.A.M. as we continue this monthly blog. Today we are on the letter "R." R stands for Resources. That simply means to focus on what you have instead of dwelling on what you think may be missing.
Several opinions are floating around about the Bassmaster Classic Wild Card that's coming up shortly. Some of the Elite Series guys are going to fish it. Some are going to pass. There's no real clear pattern.
Two-time Toyota Angler of the Year and 1999 Classic champ Davy Hite is one of bass fishing's most decorated anglers. Here's how he answered our 20 questions.
Austin Mize and Matthew Windham won the Alabama B.A.S.S. Nation Junior Bassmaster Championship, Sept. 14, on Lake Neely Henry.
2012 Toyota Angler of the Year Brent Chapman is joined by Bassmaster.com's Steve Bowman and James Overstreet for a one of a kind live stream hunt on Outdoor Channel starting at 7 a.m. ET on Thurs., Nov. 21.
Breakfast was on the house for the Archdale Bass Club members before their club classic, Nov. 2, at Baden Lake.
So the deal is that there'll be 11 tournaments in the Alabama Bass Trail. Five will be in the Northern Division and five will be in the Southern Division. At the end of the season there'll be a championship tournament.
David Kilgore isn't just a great fisherman, he's a great hunter and an advocate for smart game management.

Nicki's looks are usually a bit too intense, or risqué, for Halloween costume copying, but this look from "The Boys" is a more easily recreated Minajsemble. We, however, are suggesting you replace the bathing suit with a bodysuit, for both warmth and dignity. The only craftiness required here will be cutting the belt in half and attaching it to the straps of the white bodysuit.

Around baseball: Giambi plans to hit part time, teach full time

Jason Giambi says the opportunity to work with new manager Terry Francona in Cleveland was too good to turn down.
Jason Giambi's days as a masher are mainly behind him. In the late innings of his career, he's a mentor.
At 42, Giambi knows he's down to his final swings as a major leaguer. He'll try to make them count with Cleveland.
After contemplating retirement and interviewing to be Colorado's manager, Giambi signed a minor-league contract this month with the Indians, who are confident the 18-year veteran can not only bring them some power as a part-time designated hitter but also help teach their younger players.
"He's not just a veteran guy. He's like the veteran," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "I truly feel like it's an honor that he's in our camp. That's how strongly I feel about him."
The feeling's mutual. Giambi has known Francona since he played in the minors, which some days feels like a lifetime ago to the five-time All-Star.
Giambi entered the offseason facing an uncertain future. With few options, he considered calling it quits after hitting 429 homers and driving in 1,405 runs in 17 seasons for Oakland, the Yankees and Rockies.
"I have a 15-month-old girl. I finally grew up," he said, laughing. "I thought if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. I had some offers for a hitting-coach job, and I thought maybe I would take a year and enjoy my family. But when I got the phone call from the Indians, I jumped right on it because it was Tito (Francona)."
Before the Indians contacted him, he nearly wound up as Colorado's manager.
The Rockies were so impressed with how Giambi naturally interacted and affected many of their youngsters that they interviewed him for the job before hiring Walt Weiss. Giambi didn't have any managerial aspirations, and he was shocked when the club approached him. He came away humbled by the experience.
"I thought I would probably get in the game as a hitting coach because I work really well with the young kids," he said.
Giambi's deal with the Indians will pay him $750,000 if he's added to the 40-man roster. He can make an additional $200,000 if he stays on it.
He's done it all in baseball, from playing in pressure-packed games in New York to being fingered by the FBI as one of the players who received steroids in the BALCO scandal.
"I've been on top of the world in this game and I've been in the gutter," he said.
Bailey, Reds avoid arbitration with $5.35 million contract
Right-hander Homer Bailey and the Cincinnati Reds agreed yesterday to a $5.35 million, one-year contract.
Bailey had asked for $5.8 million and had been offered $4.75 million when players and teams swapped proposed arbitration salaries last month.
Bailey was 13-10 with a 3.68 ERA in 33 starts last year.
With the deal, the Reds have 22 players under contract for $99.75 million, ensuring that the team's payroll will be over $100 million for the first time.
CC Sabathia threw off a mound yesterday for the first time since arthroscopic surgery on Oct. 25 to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. The left-hander made 29 pitches during the session and reported no problems. … San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal apologized for a second time after his 50-game suspension for a positive test for testosterone. Grandal, traded by the Reds after the 2011 season, was suspended Nov. 7 and issued a statement then through the Major League Baseball Players Association. He read a statement yesterday at camp but did not take questions.

Cosmetic surgery procedures that are not particularly mainstream are in fact far rarer than was previously thought. This is the findings of a study by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, which reveals the media's focus on 'fringe' cosmetic surgery procedures such as penile enlargement and buttock implants are misleading. In fact, it has found that such operations, despite grabbing headlines, are undertaken far less than more common enhancements. According to the survey, just 1.6 per cent of patients underwent a cosmetic surgery procedure that was considered uncommon. Of the less common procedures that had actually been carried out, just over 40 per cent were for eyelash restoration and nearly 30 per cent involved bicep or tricep implants. Dr Patrick McMenamin, president of the AACS, commented: "This survey highlights that even though there has been increased attention on these procedures, the numbers prove that the trend is minimal at this point in time." Some 12 million cosmetic surgeries were carried out in the US in 2007, with the most common being breast augmentation, liposuction, nasal surgery and eyelid surgery.

If you drop a stone in a still pool of water, the ripple will carry far beyond the actual drop area. That is what is occurring with the Greek debt crisis. The ripple effect is reverberating not only in Europe but globally. For the United States, where part of the blame for the global debt concerns emanated with the repeal of Glass/Steagle where banks were allowed to compete with brokerage firms and where the consolidation of good and bad mortgages were securitized and sold globally. There is no question that the bad paper, which was impossible to evaluate for purposes of financial statements and where even the good, serviced mortgages started to default continues to cause havoc in financial circles.
The growing unemployment condition compounded the problem when those supposedly good mortgages defaulted due to mortgage holders losing jobs. That in conjunction with the false and misleading evaluations by some brokerage firms (which have been under investigations and where some participants have already been indicted) caused a veritable collapse of some banks and financial firms.
The current global situation could easily deteriorate further causing financial markets and investors to lose money and that could exacerbate the current global "recession" that we see.
The improvement in the first time unemployment figure reported on Thursday is, as I had warned in prior commentaries, the result of companies unable to lay off more workers without closing their doors. The reported increase in productivity is clearly a result of workers having to pick up the slack and do the jobs of one or more laid off workers. The reduction in the work force is assisting companies in reporting better earnings.The true nature of the unemployment figure may be affected by workers dropping out of the labor force, making the unemployment rate look slower. That anomaly could indicate a true unemployment rate of 9.5% rather than the reported 8.3%.
Another serious concern is the expansion of companies going overseas to reap the benefit of lower taxes. My suggestion in prior commentaries is that the U.S. has to compete with the lower tax bases offered U.S. corporations and entice them through lower tax rates to return to the U.S. and thereby return those lost jobs. The continued talk of creating jobs is a fallacy. You cannot create a job without creating a new industry. The U.S. needs to restore jobs not offer rhetorical statements meant to appease the public psyche. Global unrest is accelerating and could cause governmental problems with some countries. We will try, given the complexity of overall geopolitical and financial concerns, to offer our readers and clients some semblance of the ability to make viable trading decisions. Now for some actual information...
Interest Rates: June treasury bonds closed at 141 and 11/32nds, up 1 and 8/32nds tied, as are most markets, to the ongoing Greek debt crisis. European leaders indicated there would be no bailout without additional austerity programs put in place. The public in Greece are protesting against the various requirements such as pension reduction, salary cuts etc. We are not convinced of the ability of Greece to meet the requirements but Greece is not the only problem. Other countries of the Eurozone are also experiencing financial difficulties and once again we suggest that the Euro was a bad idea from the beginning. The idea of incorporating 17 countries each with its own economy and GDP into one currency made no sense to us. We wonder when Germany and France will decide that their participation in the bailouts will exceed their own abilities. We could see further "flight" to the relative safety of U.S. treasury bonds but any talk of resolution of the Greek debt crisis will prompt selling of treasuries and money moving back to higher risk equities. We view treasuries as a trading affair.
Stock Indices: The Dow Jones industrials closed at 12,801.23, down 89.23 points losing .69% on Friday and 0.5% for the week. The S&P 500 closed at 1342.64, down 9.31 or 0.69% Friday and for the week lost 0.2%. The Nasdaq closed at 2,903.88, down 9.31 points for a 0.7% Friday and for the week lost 0.1%. Fridays loss was tied directly to the euro zone finance ministers failure to approve an additional bailout for Greece and their dissatisfaction with the planned austerity programs. The people of Greece protested the cuts to salaries, jobs and pensions and raised doubts as to whether or not Greece could implement the austerity program to comply with euro ministers demands. A drop in the Reuters/University of Michigans consumer confidence index to 72.5 in February from the final January reading of 75 also a factor in the equity market decline. We once again, as we have stated "ad nauseum" in past commentaries, recommend strategic hedging programs for holders of large equity positions.
Next page: Currencies and metals
Currencies: The June U.S. dollar index rallied on Friday on shortcovering and new buying after the euro zone finance ministers rejected the latest offer by Greece for austerity programs. After recent losses tied to the possibility of the proposed bailout, Fridays refusal to grant the bailout prompted the move from other currencies back to the dollar. We continue to favor the long side of the dollar on the basis that the austerity programs demanded by the euro ministers may be too excessive for Greece to comply with. The Greek people reject the demands and are protesting the cuts in pensions, salaries and jobs. The June Euro closed at $1.3178, down 1.17c, The June Swiss Franc lost 72 points to $1.0919. The June British Pound lost 87 points to $1.5722, the Canadian 75 points to 9949, and the Australian dollar 1.24c to $1.0514. The June Japanese yen managed a gain of 13 points to 12906. Stay with the dollar or buy puts on the Euro.
Energies: May crude oil closed at $99.63 per barrel, down $1.24 tied to the strong dollar but moreso to reports that China imports declined by 15.3% in January. China is the world's second largest consumer of energy. Additionally China's deficit grew from $16.5 billion in December to $27.3 billion in January. A reduction in demand could prompt even further price declines. We have been suggesting our preference for the short side of crude oil and now suggest prices could decline to our former goal, which had been achieved, of $75-80 per barrel. May natural gas gained 32 points to $2.795 per MBTU while May heating oil lost 2.23c to $3.1359 per gallon and Unleaded gasoline lost 2.66c to close at $3.1107 per gallon. Our preference remains the short side of crude.
Copper: March copper closed at $3.862 per pound, down 11.65c tied to the Chinese reports of declines in imports. China is a large importer of industrial metals such as copper that have been used for electronics but moreso for construction projects. We have long suggested the short side of copper based on our own expectation that recessionary trends exist globally and demand for copper should decline. Copper inventories at the Shanghai Futures Exchange increased to approximately 180,000 tons, the highers level since mid 2010. Sell copper or buy put options.
Precious Metals: April gold closed at $1,725.30 an ounce, down $15.90 and for the week lost 0.9%. The strong U.S. dollar and doubts that the European finance ministers will approve financial aid without addition austerity by Greece. A strike against those austerity measures by the Greek people and protests in Athens taking place in the streets as Greeks clashed with police. A vote is expected on Sunday. We doubt if the two sides can get together and would stand aside on precious metals for now. The CME cut margin requirements on Friday which ordinarily would prompt traders to add to long positions. Not the case on Friday. March silver closed at $33.60 per ounce, down 31c and for the week lost 0.4%. April platinum closed at $1,659.80 per ounce, down $7.80 while March palladium lost $8.25 to $703.05 per ounce. We prefer the sidelines until further fundamentals emerge from Europe.

Grains and Oilseeds: May corn closed at $6.35 ½ per bushel, down 6c tied to the dollar strength and reports of reduced ethanol export demand and production. We prefer the sidelines in corn. May wheat closed at $6.38 per bushel, down 17 ¼ also tied to the dollar strength but also the USDA Thursday report of an increase in the estimate for world wheat stocks to a record. Adequate global supplies also a factor in the decline. We moved to the sidelines. May soybeans managed a 1 1/2c gain to $12.37 ½ per bushel on a correction after recent weakness. Imports of soybeans by China declined 15% and that was responsible for recent heavy long liquidation. We like soybeans but would not add to current long positions for now.
Meats: April cattle closed at $1.2680 per pound, down 1.4 c against the strong dollar but also tied to consumers reluctant to pay high prices. We prefer the long side of cattle but our preference is based on reduction to herd sizes reported by the USDA indicating possible shortages in the future. For now we would not add to current long positions however. April hogs closed at 88.30c per pound, down 1.35c also tied to slowing demand. The strong dollar offset declining inventories for pork by 2.7% month on month. We prefer the sidelines in hogs.
Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa: May coffee closed at $2.1855 per pound, up 30 points but fell from the high of $2.2025 intraday tied to the dollar strength. Reports of production increases could pressure coffee prices. We are on the sidelines now after having been bullish. May cocoa closed at $2,152 per tonne, down $92 on long liquidation and the strong dollar. We are on the sidelines in cocoa after having been bullish tied to fundamentals for some time. May sugar closed at 23.77c per pound, up 6 little points but failure to breach either technical support or resistance levels moves us to the sidelines.
OJ: July OJ closed at $1.7640 per pound, down 3.1c and has met our downside objective after recent strength tied to reports of pesticide in foreign imports took prices to recent highs over $2.00 per pound. We no longer have an interest in OJ and will discontinue its reporting for now.
Cotton: July cotton closed at 93.57c per pound, up 12 points even against the strong dollar and reports that China, a major importer, was reducing imports tied to economic concerns. We continue to favor the long side of cotton.

a great welder for the few negative comments ,anyone that has been a welder by trade or has ever purchased new welder knows that they need to lease or buy a argon tank,most of the people purchasing these welder are for around the farm or home and they can get one that will do there needs with a flux core welder,witch only means that the argon gas equivalent is in the middle of the wire,a Hobart,craftsman,or any other 120 volt welder,they are sold to work right out of the box with flux core wire,where argon gas is not needed,flux actually has a little more penetration but does not look as pretty but can be used outdoors in the wind where argon can not be,because the gas is blown away .************** sells the small argon tanks for around 80 bucks and a solid brass relater with the twin gauges ,showing tanks overall pressure and then the gas control regulator so you can adjust your argon flow to8 to10 psi get the 75 argon 25%,co2 mixture,39.95 at harbor ,30 plus yrs welding

I bought this model used for $225 with the gauges and the gas bottle and it was a year old when I got it. It's a great all around unit and it has been perfect for everything around the garage. I've used it on motorcycles, cars, lawn & garden and it has always performed flawlessly with either .023 or .30 wire. I got it pretty cheap but it is well worth the retail price.

I Bought this unit several years back, and have used the heck out of it. We have built 30 plus steel handrail units over 6' long out of 1.5" .065 square steel tube.I have done a ton of fence repairs. It has never let me down. Wire feed is pretty smooth with the 10lb rolls of wire. I have pushed it to weld 1/4" thick hinge plates, and while it didn't like that so much , it got the job done. I did put a upgraded ground clamp and ground line, which boosts performance somewhat.

First off, let me say that I am a novice welder. I received this welder as a Christmas gift a few years ago, and had used it for little jobs from time to time until last year when I finally built a small shop and now I actually have a place to use it. My first "project" was to build a welding table, which turned out very well. My next project, of which I am very proud, was a utility trailer. I started with an axle and springs from an old boat trailer, bought some angle iron and other parts and began working on the trailer. I could not have been more pleased with the results. Several friends have commented that it doesn't look "homemade" at all....and I would have to agree. I had both 3/16" x 2" and 1/8" x 2" angle as well as some 3" square tubing, and this welder handled everything VERY well. I did find that .035" wire worked best (Lincoln brand wire), especially on the heavier steel. It had less spatter and burned in better than the .030" wire. I did hit the duty cycle on it a few times and the built-in overload protection worked as it should have. After a few minutes of cool down, it was ready to go again. The welds on even the heaver steel burned completely in as they should. I would not hesitate to recommend this welder to anyone. It's easy to setup and use and does a great job.

I'm still a novice welder, and won't even try to pretend to be an expert, but for the money you can't go wrong buying this welder if you're looking for a portable 110 volt machine. I bought this unit in 2005 because I needed to learn how to weld for work, but didn't have a lot of time to practice with the welder on our service truck. It was easy to set up and I was burning metal within a few minutes of unpacking it. In the 6+ years I've owned the machine, I've repaired vehicles, built a sidecar designed to mount onto a bicycle and fabricated brackets and other parts for my Harley. When I was doing an internship for some classes I was taking, our main job was to repair several trailers. The person I was working with had been welding for close to 40 years and was a Miller and Lincoln fan. When I told him I had a Craftsman welder he kind of chuckled...then he saw the welder and was genuinely impressed. We spent about 3 weeks working on the various projects, and my Craftsman kept up with his Lincoln every step of the way. In fact, on a day when I wasn't there and he used my welder instead of his to "see what it could do" and he told me that if he needed a small GMAW/FCAW welder, he'd seriously consider this unit. If you're looking for a small portable gas/no gas wire feed welder to learn on or just need a portable 110 unit, go get this one. You won't be dissapointed.

Dallas bosses to change storyline after Larry Hagman's death

Posted: 11/25/2012

Executives behind the DALLAS re-boot are scrambling to change the show's storyline following the death of star LARRY HAGMAN.
The veteran actor, who passed away on Friday (23Nov12), spent months battling cancer, but he refused to let his illness affect his career and continued working while he was undergoing treatment.
TV bosses are currently shooting the second series of the relaunched Dallas, in which Hagman reprises his role as oil tycoon J.R. Ewing from the original TV soap, and he had filmed several episodes before he was taken ill.
It has now been confirmed the show's writing team will have to alter the planned storyline in the aftermath of the tragedy. Viewers had seen Hagman's character vowing to launch a titanic battle for control of the family's business empire at the close of the debut season earlier this year (12).
A representative for Channel 5, the U.K. broadcaster of Dallas, tells WENN, "Dallas is midway in production on Season 2 and this sad news will be incorporated into the storyline... The team are dealing with the death before they consider the writing possibilities."
Channel 5 bosses plan to honor Hagman's memory by screening a documentary tribute in his honor, titled A Tribute to Larry Hagman: At home with JR, in the U.K. on Sunday (25Nov12).

Folks in the Carriages at Charleston Place are feuding over their mountain views.
When Classic Homes developed the 80-unit townhome complex 10 years ago, they offered "view lots" for a premium of $10,000. Here is a look at the area from FlashEarth:
Chuck and Ilse Young paid because they valued their spectacular view of Pikes Peak and the Front Range.
Jim and Evelyn Mills also paid and ever since have cherished their views of the mountains.
But when Classic landscaped the development, pine trees were planted in the yards around the townhomes, built as 40 duplexes.
Ilse Young said she soon realized the pines were going to grow too large and obscure her views. Here is a look at her home taken shortly before she moved in.
So Young said she contacted the developer and the homeowners association, or HOA, and was given permission to replace the pines with ornamental crabapple tress that can be more easily pruned. Permission was needed because the trees and yard are common areas to the HOA.
Mills recalls the request because he was the HOA's first board president. In fact, he is on the board today.
Over the years, the Youngs and the Mills routinely hired an arborist to keep their trees pruned and shaped up.
But this year, when they asked for permission, the HOA board denied their request. The HOA board didn't want to spend the money to prune every tree. And the board didn't want to let the Mills and Youngs do it themselves.
Mills said Betty DeJong, vice president of the board, led the opposition. Mills said DeJong told him that her views were being blocked by one of those pine trees. Unlike the ornamentals, the pines can't be as easily pruned without destroying their appearance.
Here is a look at the bushy trees from FlashEarth:
Mills recalls his conversation with DeJong like this: "She told me: 'If I can't prune mine, you shouldn't be a able to prune yours.' I was shocked."
DeJong said she was simply making a point that it would set a bad precedent to let one or two homeowners prune their trees. Then all 80 homeowners would start pruning and things would be a mess.
Here's a look at the trees today:
Mills and Young say they simply want to shape the trees and take off the new growth, just as they always have.
The Youngs have a special urgency to their request. They are trying to sell their home and being able to advertise it as having "mountain views" would enhance the value.
But the HOA board has ruled.

Induced labor: Making an informed decision
By Mary M. Murry, R.N., C.N.M.
4 comments posted
Ideally, labor begins naturally. Sometimes, though, induced labor can be the answer to your prayers. You might be one to two weeks past your due date, or the baby might have stopped growing as expected. Perhaps you have high blood pressure. The decision to induce labor usually comes down to the fact that you or the baby will be better off if the baby is on the outside.
If your cervix is firm, the induction might start with a process called ripening. You might be given oral medication to help your cervix prepare for labor, or your health care provider might place medication in your vagina. In other cases, a device — such as a catheter — might be placed in your vagina to soften your cervix. If your cervix has already begun to prepare for labor, ripening might not be needed.
The next phase of induced labor is intravenous medication — usually oxytocin (Pitocin) — to jump-start your contractions. The medication is delivered through a pump at a specific rate and amount. Over time, the dose is increased until your contractions are regular, frequent and causing changes in your cervix.
Induced labor is meant to mimic naturally occurring labor as much as possible. Expect contractions to start slowly, gradually gaining intensity and frequency. Those first hours of induction might be somewhat boring, as the medication forces your body to do something it wasn't ready to do on its own. You might watch a few movies, knit a baby blanket, or visit with friends and family. Once the contractions become frequent and more painful, you might need to turn all of your attention to working with the contractions.
Inducing labor isn't without risks and shouldn't be taken lightly. If your body isn't ready for labor, the benefits of induction must clearly outweigh the risks. Discuss it with your health care provider and work together to make an informed decision. Don't hesitate to ask questions — and continue asking until you're sure you understand the situation and you're comfortable with the decisions being made.

Elizabeth, your pregnancy is not the usual pregnancy is it? It sounds like you have had a very difficult time of it. Your situation is unique. An infection or blood clot can be very dangerous to you and your baby. Keep asking questions until you are comfortable with the plan and feel it is best for you and the baby.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my third baby and have had a bit of a rough pregnancy. I have a picc line to receive nausea medication as well as reflux meds and fluids. I've needed the picc line since my first trimester, but have had complications (migration, infection, superficial blood clot). I recently had a five day stay in the hospital due to a staph infection and my second superficial blood clot. Fortunately the infection remained localized, but called for four weeks of IV antibiotics. My doctors have been monitoring this pregnancy closely and the baby has appeared to be doing well despite my issues. My doctors are recommending an amnio at 37 weeks and delivery shortly after if the lungs appear to be matured, but recent info on the mayo clinic site has me concerned about delivering before 39 weeks because of possible brain immaturity. I know my doctors are concerned about me having further complications, but I'm also concerned about my baby's brain development based on recent findings. Where is the greater risk? Delivering before 39 weeks or delaying delivery and risking another infection or picc line complication? If you have any additional material that might help to inform me even more, I would greatly appreciate it.

Seems like most people I know who are induced, end up having c-sections. This includes myself. Nurses I have talked to seem to agree. Wonder what the statistics are on this?

I'm 41 weeks and 3 days, and I'm 2 cm dilated, 30% effaced, with a soft cervix. My only other child was induced at 41 w 5 d with a completely unfavorable cervix, and ended up a successful vaginal delivery with epidural. All testing shows healthy baby with lots of fluid (@ 17 a few days ago). Should I wait until 42 weeks or go ahead now with induction? I'm inclined to wait, but wonder if it's pointless anyway given my history.
