MEDINA, Ohio, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RPM International (NYSE: RPM) today announced the pricing of $200 million of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2020. In addition, RPM has granted the underwriters the option to purchase up to an additional $5 million of notes on the same terms and conditions to cover over-allotments, if any.
The notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.25% per annum and will mature on December 15, 2020. The notes will be convertible under certain circumstances and during certain periods at an initial conversion rate of 18.8905 shares of RPM's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $52.94 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The initial conversion price represents a conversion premium of approximately 37% over the last reported sale price of the common stock of $38.64 per share. Prior to June 15, 2020, the notes will be convertible only upon specified events and, thereafter, at any time. Upon conversion, the notes may be settled, at RPM's election, in cash, shares of RPM's common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of RPM's common stock.
Substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used to repay, redeem or refinance $200 million in principal amount of unsecured senior notes due December 15, 2013, which bear interest at 6.25%, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Pending such use, RPM will use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to invest in high-quality short-term investments.
The closing of the convertible senior notes offering is expected to occur on December 9, 2013, subject to satisfaction of customary market and other closing conditions.
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering.
The notes will be offered and sold under RPM's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 8, 2011, which was effective upon filing, and a preliminary prospectus supplement setting forth the terms of the notes, filed with the SEC on December 2, 2013. Before investing, investors should read the prospectus and the preliminary prospectus supplement and other documents that RPM has filed with the SEC for more complete information about RPM and the offering. These documents may be obtained at www.sec.gov. Copies of the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the offering may also be obtained by requesting copies from Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Attention: Equity Syndicate Department, 375 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10152 (or by calling (800) 326-5897 or emailing email@example.com) or Goldman, Sachs & Co., Attention: Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282 (or by calling 1-866-471-2526 or emailing email@example.com).
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities, nor will there be any sale of notes or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Although openSUSE 11.2 is still two months away updated openSUSE 11.1 KDE4 Reloaded images previewing some changes are available now. They are respins of openSUSE 11.1 including KDE 4.3.1, Firefox 3.5 and all the online updates which have been released for openSUSE 11.1.
These installable Live-CDs are useful for people who want to test out KDE 4.3 and users who are doing new installs and want the most recent openSUSE updates straight out of the box, saving a lot of installation time. New in this version is that the images can be also dumped to a USB stick and booted from there.
See the KDE 4.3 announcement for more information on the improvements and new features in KDE 4.3.
Compared to openSUSE 11.1 KDE4 desktop, the images include the latest KDE4 version of applications like Amarok, Digikam, KNetworkManager and the new Qt4-based YaST Control Center. Some additional applications like Choqok, Kompare, Marble and Okteta could be added thanks to a more efficient compression algorithm.
A Note of Caution
Please note that this is not an "official" openSUSE release, and has not undergone the same kind of testing that stable releases receive.

The Irvine-based publisher of Dog Fancy and other specialty magazines has inked a 10-year deal to print and distribute automotive publication Rat Rod Magazine.
I-5 Publishing LLC, which was formed this year to acquire the magazine titles and other assets of BowTie Inc., plans to expand Rat Rod's editorial operations and broaden its online presence.
The 3-year-old bimonthly magazine, with retro-style covers often featuring scantily clad women, focuses on specialty hot rods. Mark Harris, I-5's co-founder and chief executive, said Rat Rod has a narrow but passionate following that represents a significant growth opportunity.
"We see it as a nice, untapped niche," he said. "We believe that we need to continue to develop products that are niche and attract a passionate enthusiast market."
I-5 has about 15 mostly pet-themed magazines in its portfolio, such as Dog Fancy and Cat Fancy. It also publishes several car titles, including Auto Restorer magazine.
Harris said the company plans to use its supplier connections, marketing expertise and other resources to streamline Rat Rod's cost structure and improve operations. He declined to discuss the financial terms of the joint venture.
I-5 launched in February when it acquired the titles and book publishing operations of BowTie, Norman Ridker's struggling publishing company.
As online publishing grew in recent years, many of BowTie's titles faced new competition and declines in advertising revenue. Last year, BowTie stopped publishing a print version of one of its titles, Bird Talk, while another, Thoroughbred Times, filed for bankruptcy.
David Fry, who co-founded I-5 with Harris, said since the acquisition his company has been able to cut costs and "restructure a number of agreements with partners."
I-5 plans to restart BowTie's stalled book-publishing division and is building an online presence for each of its magazine titles. Harris also said the company is broadening its revenue streams by utilizing subscriber information for cross-selling purposes.
"By all means," he said, "we want to get back into direct marketing to consumers."

Deeply depressing news out of Berlin this morning: a Ferrari 458 Speciale, that gorgeous and lustworthy red, white and blue speed machine, was demolished in a crash that apparently involved a Smart Fortwo, of all things.
GTSpirit has photos and this video of a 458 Speciale involved in a serious, high speed wreck in Germany just weeks after the new cars were delivered to owners. Here's what they believe happened:
The exact cause of the crash is currently unknown. However, some reports suggest that the Smart car ran a red light and was T-boned by the 458 Speciale travelling through the intersection at high speed. As a result of the impact, the Smart car apparently flipped before coming to a rest in a patch of grass next to the road.
Reports indicate at least two people were hospitalized after the crash, but it's not clear which vehicle the injured parties were in. I wouldn't be surprised if it was both; you can tell from the video that the damage to both cars was quite severe.
Terrible news all around.

A crying baby on an airplane creates discomfort for all parties involved. Passengers are easily irritated by piercing cries while parents become anxious and embarrassed when their children fuss. And the poor babies pick up on all this stress and only cry louder.
What's the solution?
There's no way to stop babies from crying, but Malaysia Airlines believes that keeping passengers without kids away from families will help the situation.
When the airline's first Airbus A380-800 takes off on July 1, travelers with children won't be sitting in the plane's upper deck, which will have 70 economy and 66 business class seats, according to MSNBC. Instead families with kids under 12 will be assigned seats in the main lower deck.
The new plane will fly the Kuala Lumpur–London route, and the airline hopes its kid-free zone will attract business travelers.
"Malaysia Airlines is trying to make its premium product on the A380 more appealing to the high-yielding business passengers," Shashank Nigam, CEO of SimpliFlying, an airline branding company, told MSNBC. "They value their peace and quiet and [this way] can rest assured that they won't be disturbed by kids on long-haul flights."
The airline is also taking steps to make sure families are comfortable by including eight bathrooms in the new kid-friendly zone and equipping the plane with a dual aerobridge for "speedier/faster embarkation and disembarkation for this group of passengers," according to CNN.
This isn't the first time Malaysia Airlines has kept kids out of a section of the plane. Last year, the airline made headlines when it introduced a controversial policy banning kids from first class on certain flights.
Do you agree with Malaysia Airlines new policy? Should more airlines create kid-free zones?

"American Idol" runner-up Crystal Bowersox has another thing to look forward to this year other than recording her debut album.
The singer, 25, is engaged to musician Brian Walker; the two are expected to get married next month, Bowersox's rep told People magazine exclusively.
Bowersox has a 1 ½-year-old son, Tony, from a past relationship. This is a first marriage for Bowersox.
U.S. & World
Back in May, Bowersox revealed on Ryan Seacrest's radio program that she mutually broke up with her then-boyfriend, Tony Kusian, just prior to the first night of the American Idol finale. Later that evening on the show, she performed Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain."
"We're both logical, grown adults," Bowersox said at the time. "He's a small town guy and it's fine. But I'm a small town girl but I want this. I want this more than anything – this career, this lifestyle. I didn't think he was up for it. He didn't think he was up for it."

Virtual Network Switch
Many people have talked about hypervisor, and playing around with virtual machines. There are many solutions available today, either open source or commercial one. We have VMware, Xen, Virtualbox, Qemu, KVM, Parallel, Virtual PC, and others that I may not know.
What I would like to discuss here is virtual network switching, many of us have used a piece of hardware call network switch, which allows the end point to talk to each other. For the hardware network switch, we have many companies that are producing it, for example Cisco, Juniper, 3Com, DLink, NetGear and etc.
The virtual machine lives inside single operating system, which means we can have many virtual machines running inside a piece of hardware, so with virtual network switch we also can run many network switches inside a piece of hardware, and using them to connect virtual machines, and get them to talk to each other.
However, how many solutions are there for virtual network switch? As far as I know, not many. Cisco has produced one which is called Cisco Nexus 1000 Series. If you do know any other commercial solution, please comment.
How about open source solution for that? Yes, here are two that I found very interesting, again if you know any other open source solution, please let me know.
- Open vSwitch
- Vde
This is just simple writeup for what I'm going to cover in the future which I will discuss about how you can setup virtual network switch, and leverage on them. Most of my posts will be discussing about both Open vSwitch and Vde while Virtualbox and Qemu will be used to connect to the switch.
Enjoy (;])

have you looked into cisco's packet tracer switch emulation? i dont believe it allows OS's to interact with your emulated network but it's one way of understanding how switches are configured.
- C.S.Lee said...
hi travis,
I never get a chance to play around with cisco's packet tracer so I can't really comment anything about it, the reason I'm going with free/open source solution here because it is particularly useful for students as they are not in the industry yet and they can try it out without needing to spend a lot of money.
Plus my following posts will show how you can setup everything in the vm itself, so with one computer it is enough to follow the series of tutorials I'm going to cover. Therefore it is more like a lab setup with one pc and I think most student owns a laptop/pc these days.
Anyway thanks for mentioning about the alternative solution to learn network switching ;)

From what I read here (http://email@example.com/msg01024.html)
you had some problems that you were able to fix. Can you detail what you did?
Thanks! Keep up the good work!

"Klax" KDE 3.4 Beta 2 Live-CD
"Klax" is an i486 GNU/Linux Live-CD based on Slackware 10.1 with a patched Qt 3.3.4 and a complete KDE 3.4 Beta 2. Additionally it also contains KOffice 1.3.5 and k3b 0.11.20. All this within an ISO image of only 373MB. It can be used to give you an impression of the upcoming KDE 3.4, to verify if bugs still exist or discover new ones and to make screenshots. For more information and the download site visit the "Klax" Homepage.
Ordinary Slax has all the important bits of kde and is only 185mb. What takes up so much space?
By mikeyd at Sun, 2005/02/13 - 6:00am
Thanks for the livecd, it was much needed!
After playing with it for some time, I saw that some issues havn't yet fixed in beta2:
- default system colors (i.e., erasing ~/.kde*) are not the Plastik one, they're a hybrid of old Keramik and Plastik which look quite awful!
Re: Cool!
> authentication using urls like http://username:[email protected] doesn't work when
I don't think verbatim '@' signs are at all legal in the username part of a URL.
By cm at Sun, 2005/02/13 - 6:00am
Re: Cool!
> - kmail icons!! i find hard to distinguish quickly between receive, reply and forward icons.. maybe colorizing differently the little circles in them would help?
Well, I found this bug (*) quite strange for KDE (since it's implementation was refused, it might have been missunderstood when it was reported).
By Mircea Bardac at Sun, 2005/02/13 - 6:00am
Just downloaded
TY for the work.
I just used a USA mirror and got very fast DL speed.
Note: This live CD seems to work just fine in VMWare, to easily boot and compare features to other distros side by side.
By frank dux at Sun, 2005/02/13 - 6:00am
thanx, but...
... some tgz for native Slackware 10.1 are welcome :-)
I use your Slackware packages all the times, so KDE is now really choppy and slow if I try it on a Live-CD;)
Btw, Kmail new feature "Display Smiley" doesn't work with Live-CD. Is this only because it's a Live-CD or is this an error??
Re: thanx, but...
> ... some tgz for native Slackware 10.1 are welcome :-)
I heard from their packager that he intends to create them this weekend.
> I use your Slackware packages all the times
I don't produce the contrib/Slackware packages.
> Is this only because it's a Live-CD or is this an error??
Error. Such errors are not arising because it's a Live-CD.
By binner at Sun, 2005/02/13 - 6:00am
Re: thanx, but...
> I heard from their packager that he intends to create them this weekend.
Oh, thanks for the info!
> Error. Such errors are not arising because it's a Live-CD.
Ok, thanks again. I mainly tried this Live-CD because of this "feature" but don't spend time to look at bugzilla now
Re: thanx, but...
That's true. I told Stephan that I will provide Slackware 10.0 packages. But I couldn't this week-end. I moved and my computer still packed. So wait for the next release.
By JC at Mon, 2005/02/14 - 6:00am
:( I wonder if I can use binaries from Klax?
Sorry to hear that... I tried fruitlessly to compile it over the weekend myself, only to to have multiple compile errors (pth, gpg, etc.) And that's on "slapt-get --dist-upgrade"ed Slack 10.
I was looking forward to someone else posting the binaries so I can cram the bugs in before the 3.4 comes out.
I wander if I can use binaries from Klax? It's simply copying the /opt/kde right?
Also. Is basKet on the Klax? That is pretty much the only app I miss here on 3.4b1 (also doesn't compile for me)
By Daniel at Mon, 2005/02/14 - 6:00am
Re: :( I wonder if I can use binaries from Klax?
This sounds like that your system is rather borked.

I just saw it the first time working with CVS HEAD today.

Re: thanx, but...
> ... some tgz for native Slackware 10.1 are welcome :-)
Ok, seems Jean-Christophe will not create KDE 3.4 Beta 2 packages. I uploaded my less than half-official packages as used on Klax to http://ktown.kde.org/~binner/klax/10.1/ - the main packages should be fine, the dependencies packages are all missing descriptions/installation scripts and install to /usr.

Klax SCREENSHOTS
By chris at Mon, 2005/02/14 - 6:00am
Very Cool!
Very cool stuff coming into KDE. The aesthetic changes are enough to upgrade! It was my first time experience with X.org, and those shadows and transulcenly really are nice. Now im waiting for the full release so i can use zeroconf, and other "under the hood" improvements.
A note: Opening a profile in konqueror such as "simple browser" doesnt work...however the command 'konqueror --profile simplebrowser' does...very strange... bugs.kde.org here i come!
Another *off-topic note : A screenshot of the new linspire (5.0) showed up on slashdot, and with 5.0 comes the new everaldo-styled theme!
You can't make them all out, but it seems really nice
By Samuel Stephen Weber at Mon, 2005/02/14 - 6:00am
it's FAST!!!
wow, how it's fast!!! congratulations one more time KDE team!
and it's still beta!
I cant wait for the final release; this is what I like in KDE (most opensource), the next version is always lighther and fast than previous one, unlike that other OS :P.

patched Qt 3.3.4
How is Qt patched? what for?
also, is this based on the Linux-live 5.x scripts (kernel-2.6.10 + unionfs) or the old 4.2.x scripts?
By Damjan at Tue, 2005/02/15 - 6:00am
Re: patched Qt 3.3.4
> How is Qt patched? what for?
It has the patches of qt-copy/patches applied for the best user experience.
> is this based on the Linux-live 5.x scripts (kernel-2.6.10 + unionfs) or the old 4.2.x scripts
It has Linux 2.4.29, so Linux Live Scripts 4.2.4. Tomas Matejicek wrote me afterwards btw that "KDE doesn't work with unionfs and 2.6 kernel".
By binner at Tue, 2005/02/15 - 6:00am
good work!
really really cool work! KDE 3.4 seems to be in good shape. hmmm, in filebrowsing mode you don't have all these buttons for the view, its limited to three. good work.
And I love Kontact's new features, and the taskbar... really good... But I had some problems with the clock on the taskbar. I set it to analogue, and turn on anti-aliasing - whoops, messes up the whole clock!
But I love the speed and system:/ and and and all other features and refinements.
thumbs up for ALL KDE developers!

Keyboard does not work. - Eye candy is great !
The CD booted fine, however once I got it into KDE, my keyboard stoped responding. Strangely it worked fine at the conole.
What I saw looked great, but obvoulsly, I was not able to try out much without using a keyboard.
I am using a microsoft Internet keyboard (USB) with a similar MS mouse. Shuttle SN45G system, nVidia nforce 2 chipset, Radeon descrete Graphics card.
Any ideas?

A Brown University rep says he is unable to answer questions about why Emma Watson had an undercover armed guard with her during graduation ceremonies.
The 24-year-old British actress best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" movies graduated from the Ivy League university in Providence on Sunday.
She was photographed sitting and walking next to a woman who was wearing a cap and gown. Other photographs showed the same woman without a cap and gown, with a holstered weapon and a badge.
Providence Police Chief Steven Pare says the woman is not a Providence officer.
When asked if she was a campus police officer and why the guard was necessary, Brown rep Mark Nickel said on Tuesday he was unable to help.

I've spent the last 3.5 years wondering who in a leadership position was forcing the issue by putting Brady Poppinga on the field. I thought it was Bob Sanders until I read something about Winston Moss liking Poppinga. Then Sanders left and Moss has been pushed somewhat into the background. I figured Dom Capers would notice Poppinga's underwhelming performance right away and perhaps just cut him. Apparently not (or perhaps Capers doesn't want to say anything?) That essentially leaves McCarthy and Ted Thompson. But after reading these comments by McCarthy today from Tom Silverstein's jsonline.com article, I think we've found the culprit:
"Everybody was excited about where Clay was when the injury occurred," coach Mike McCarthy said. "He was lining up with the starters at that particular point, but Brady Poppinga has taken full advantage of his opportunities. I can't say enough about him. From a preparation standpoint, he's taken every snap in training camp, hasn't missed a practice, and it shows up on the field.
"He's very comfortable in the new scheme, he's done an excellent job, particularly in the run defense of taking two defenders time and time again. He's been around the ball a lot and part of the takeaway production that we've had on defense. I think Brady's having a heck of a camp."
Look, I understand how this evolved considering Poppinga was the left OLB back-up and the 2 guys slated to play right OLB have both been injured. It's not totally illogical. But what bothers me here on a very basic level is that once again Brady Poppinga has been elevated to a starter role when he is actually one of the weaker LBs on the roster. People talk about our depth at LB and I agree, we have depth. But then why would someone who is a proven weak-link get the starting nod. Why Bishop wouldn't get a chance to see if he can play OLB (Hawk got to move from OLB to MLB last year, Chillar from OLB to ILB this year), or why wouldn't they experiment with a more capable Chillar at OLB – which was his original position. What I'm saying is that it's time to move on. Poppinga may prove yet to be OK in the 3-4, maybe it will suit him, but he's not capable of being a game-changer. And he's been given so many opportunities and failed that it's simply time to let some of these other talented guys get on the field.
The bottom line is that McCarthy, by anointing Poppinga starter, is not putting the best guys on the field who give us the best chance to win. That is his job and he's not doing it. For him to have such effusive praise for a guy who has had one good game in 4 years, it's simply unfair to the other players. For someone I believe has reasonably sound judgment on many other football decisions, I'm surprised to learn that McCarthy is likely the one behind this inane pro-Poppinga movement.
UPDATE: Yesterday on Homer's show on ESPN radio Milwaukee, he was interviewing the Wisconsin State Journal's Jason Wilde. Homer was campaigning for Bishop to get on the field more/possibly start and Wilde, shockingly, wasn't biting. Wilde went on to say that Bishop didn't stand out really this year and made one good play last year and 2 horrible plays. I respect Wilde most of the time, but I was shocked to hear someone who usually has a sound take be so far off. Wilde clearly is drinking the coaches' water on this one – and he's wrong. We'll all have one of those "how could we let that guy go?" moments when Bishop is snatched up by some other smart NFL team and dominates.

Ourense, land of spas
Lobios spa town
Ayuntamiento de Ourense
A Chavasqueira thermal springs in Ourense
We invite you to take pleasure in plunging into miraculous waters that rise in a unique place: Ourense. This Galician land is famous for its spas. There are many spas scattered throughout this province, offering rest in extraordinary environments. The perfect place to spend unforgettable days surrounded by nature. You can't miss it.
Ourense is home to culture, art, history, and of course, water, which is very present in this region of Galicia. In this green and humid environment covered in bracken and fields, liquid is an element of great importance thanks to its rivers, springs, streams, wells and, specially, to its numerous spas.
The thermal centres of Ourense fuse together tradition, modern elements and environmental respect. Some exist since far-off times, like Caldas de Partovía, in O Carballiño, which is the oldest in Galicia -dating from Roman times. Others were established in the 19th century, such as the Gran Balneario de Carballiño -one of the most visited in Spain-, and there are more recent ones, such as Villa Termal de Lobios, which has state-of-the-art facilities.
The choice of spas in Ourense is splendid, although they all feature quality in their mineral-medical waters with curing and preventive benefits, environmental respect, extraordinary infrastructures complying with strict rules and personalized care from high-qualified professionals.
Many of these centres offer accommodation for as long as the treatment lasts, like in Molgas.
In addition to the liquid's medicinal benefits, some spas offer many hydrotherapies as well as other methods, including massages and beauty and anti-stress treatments as you will find in Villa Termal de Laias.
Any season of the year is perfect to come to these havens of peace and to come and enjoy the splendid landscapes of this Galician enclave. Peace and quiet for those who need it, but there is also a wide range of activities, including skiing in the Manzaneda ski resort, trekking, horse or bike riding, or even experiencing strong emotions by canoeing and rafting in summer. You can even sail on a catamaran, in places like Arnoia, which has its own jetty.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Ourense, a province which offers many marvels in the way of monuments, art, festivities and cuisine. Come to this magical place where the water of life rises with more power than ever through springs and spas.

#1 School Removes God From First-Grader's Poem11-30-2012, 02:17 AM
School Removes God From First-Grader's Poem
When the word "God" becomes inappropriate in public schools, America really has ceased to exist.
Consider the story of a first-grade girl in West Marion, North Carolina, who had the word "God" stripped from a poem she wrote and was going to read at her school's Veterans Day assembly earlier this month.
The poem honored her two grandfathers who served during the Vietnam War.
"He prayed to God for peace," she wrote of one of them. "He prayed to God for strength."
Unfortunately, a parent found out about this, and complained to the school district.
At a McDowell County Board of Education meeting last week, employee Chris Greene said, "We had one parent concerned with the use of the word God in this program. This parent did not want the word God mentioned anywhere in the program. When the demand from this person was heard, the rights of another stopped. It did so by hushing the voice of a six-year-old girl."
"I believe that this little girl's rights were violated," Greene continued, "and that those who worked so hard to prepare this program should receive an apology."
"We need to keep in mind what was our country founded on >>>
Todd Starnes reported Thursday that across the community people are alarmed by what happened and are asking questions.
"I am outraged that a school would deny a six year old child her First Amendment rights — especially during an assembly to honor our nation's veterans," Trudy Pascoe told Starnes. "It is unacceptable for schools to continue to deny students rights because of their Christian viewpoint."

Well there is some good news: the Pastafarians have been told to take a hike.
Chester County Pennsylvania commissioners rejected arguments this morning (Nov. 29) to rescind Resolution 58-10, which was enacted to exclude non-Judeo-Christian winter displays from the county courthouse lawn during the winter season. The resolution was originally intended to kick out the Freethought Society's Tree of Knowledge from sharing equal space with the Jesus crèche and a Hanukkah menorah. This year, the Evangelical Pastafarian Church also requested a space on the courthouse lawn.
Resolution 58-10 directs that only displays owned by the county are allowed to be put up and the county can decide what displays they choose be own. The county then acquired the crèche from the Pennsylvania Pastors Network for a dollar. They then refused to acquire the Freethought Society's Tree of Knowledge in a similar fashion.
On Tuesday's "Sunshine Meeting," Pastafarian Minister Tracy McPherson and Freethought Society president Margaret Downey made request for equal treatment under the law. Commissioner Ryan Costello (R) pointed out that under the 58-10 Resolution, those requests would be excluded and expressed his intent to uphold that resolution. Commissioner Kathi Cozzone (D) suggested that the Resolution be re-evaluated.
This morning's meeting put the Resolution to question. According to McPherson, the county received over 50 e-mails from people opposed to Resolution 58-10 and in support of the Pastafarian Tree and the Tree of Knowledge. Five supporters of the Tree of Knowledge and two Pastafarian Pirate also spoke at the meeting. There was only one speaker who spoke in support of the Resolution.
The vote came down 2 to 1 in support of keeping the Resolution which will continue to restrict the courthouse lawn to only Judeo-Christian holiday displays at the exclusion of displays the county commissioners don't like. When asked about the outcome McPherson told me that she was "now exploring my legal options." ...
And just in case you don't know who the Pastafarians are:
Pastafarians on Wednesday urged Chester County commissioners in Pennsylvania to include the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the holiday display at the county's courthouse.
"Good morning commissioners, it is my honor to address you today," Evangelical Pastafarian Tracy McPherson told the commissioners at a meeting. "Last December as I drove through West Chester, I was pleased to see holiday displays in front of the courthouse. Prominently displayed were the Jewish menorah and the Christian nativity display depicting the birth of Christ. These symbols represent the meaning of the holiday season for two religious communities in our area. I could not help but feel that the display was incomplete, as there was no acknowledgement of my religion present."
The quasi-religion and its pasta-deity were spawned in 2005, when Bobby Henderson mocked the Kansas Board of Education in an open letter for allowing the teaching of Intelligent Design, a variation of creationism, in public schools. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has since grown into a full-blown movement, boasting millions of members.
"As a Pastafarian, I believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the world and all that is in it," McPherson explained to the commissioners. "He holds us all to the ground with his noodly appendages and that explains why we do not float away."
The Evangelical Pastafarians would like to see their pasta-decorated pine tree placed alongside the Jewish and Christian displays. Despite its satirical appearance, McPherson insisted her devotion to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was serious.
The Chester County commissioners voted in 2010 to prohibit privately-owned displays at the courthouse. The current holiday display is owned by the county, and includes both secular and religious elements. The commissioners will consider voting to change the policy on Thursday, according to the Daily Local News.
Previously, the Freethought Society, the Pennsylvania Pastors Network, the Chabad of Chester County, and the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce had all set up displays during the Christmas season. But the Freethought Society's display in particular provoked controversy due to its alleged hostility towards religion.
Is that Pastafarian stuff supposed to be a joke? Sorry, it's just not funny.Allah is a god of peace! That's why all his followers want to commit mass murder.

In our country the Constitution allows everyone to worship in their own way but that was because they were all Jews and/or Christian in belief. that doesn't mean that they can't worship the way they want but now these other beliefs want to push down any Christian/Jewish belief that is placed out in the open. Actually they want to put Christian/Jewish belief off period from existence. We have a war against good and evil here."Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people"...John Adams
I'm a liberal who believes in separation of church and state, but also believes in the first amendment. In this case, I'm on the side of the kid, because this is totally a free speech situation. The child did not express religious belief in any way that is inappropriate to the school setting.
I would side with the school if the situation was different-a teacher pushing his or her views onto students, teacher-led prayer in the classroom, a student who constantly preaches to the others in a manner that is obnoxious (schools do not have to tolerate Fred Phelps-type behavior), I think the school has the right to address issues like those.

One parent.
So it goes among the educators in America. Quaking in their boots lest they offend someone.
Liberalism is just communism sold by the drink.
I am still trying to figure out why atheists get the slightest bit pissed off at the utterance of the word "God". I don't see the problem with this girl's poem. I'm sure it sounded quite nice.A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. Ayn Rand

I did a double-take when I read about changes for hybrid car owners in the californiascapitol website.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently signed a new law (SB 535) that basically allows 40,000 electric cars to use HOV lanes beginning next January.
But what I think tens of thousands of current hybrid car owners don't know is, is that they'll be prohibited from using High Occupancy Vehicle lanes in July 2011.
What? Aren't we suppose to be encouraging people to go green? They were among the first to buy vehicles that cut down on pollution in the air? And now they'll have the privilege taken away from them?
The bill, by the way, is sponsored by General Motors, which plans to begin selling it's Chevy Volt later on this year. Not cheap either. Around $40,000.
I asked UCSD political science professor Thad Kousser to make sense of this and he pointed out that there is a scientific argument to this. "Carpool lanes are a scarce resource, and if you allow more and more people into the carpool lanes then you lose the benefit of the hybrid electric car. Then it becomes anyone can join. You have to set limits to get the benefit."
And then we talked about the fact that a Prius owner for example who might have been at the forefront of the hybrid car movement would become no longer green enough. To some consumers it feels like the rules of the game were changed mid-stream, says Kousser.
It's important to point out, the rules of the game for current hybrids had always included an end date for the use of carpool lanes to be January 2011.
So if you're counting on the purchase of your hybrid car to qualify for the privileges, make sure it meets the qualifications for the future.

With the debate over the fiscal cliff heating up in Washington, President Barack Obama is doubling down on his attacks on Republican tax plans today, part of an ongoing attempt to cast his opponent's economic policies as bad for the middle class.
Politico's James Hohmann reports that the Obama campaign is planning to highlight a new Tax Notes report, which finds that Mitt Romney's plan to eliminate taxes on the foreign income of American companies would "significantly increase incentives for U.S. firms to move economic activity abroad," and create 800,000 jobs overseas.
The Tax Notes findings are echoed in a new briefing from the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund, which argues that Romney's plan to move the U.S. to a "territorial" tax system, thus eliminating U.S. taxes on foreign profits, would amount to a $130 billion tax cut form multinational corporations over the next 10 years.
The attack neatly dovetails with Democrats' relentless hammering of Romney's personal wealth and business record, including his disputed role in outsourcing jobs overseas as CEO of Bain Capital, iIllustrating how the Obama campaign is pursuing a two-pronged strategy to paint Romney as out-of-touch with everyday Americans.
Here's the key excerpt from the CAP briefing:
The former Massachusetts governor would make U.S. corporations' overseas profits exempt from U.S. taxes. These profits are already treated favorably under the tax code compared to corporate profits that are earned and reported domestically, creating an inefficient bias toward investment offshore. The favorable treatment of profits that are reported offshore also creates rewards for corporations that shift profits (on paper) out of the United States to foreign countries, including tax havens such as Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

Illini quarterback's hand wasn't seriously injured, just bruised, according to coach Ron Zook. Illinois hosts Purdue Saturday.
CHAMPAIGN -- The news is good for Illinois on the football field, where the Illini are poised to make a run in the season's second half. On Sunday, the news was just as good. After suffering a bruise on the top of his throwing hand, Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase is fine, coach Ron Zook said. The swelling had already diminished in Scheelhaase's hand.
Illinois (4-3 overall, 2-2 in the Big Ten) hosts Purdue (4-3, 2-1) at Memorial Stadium Saturday (11 a.m., TV TBA). With Purdue's depth chart possibly taking another hit, the Boilermakers might go with freshman quarterback Sean Robinson, the former Rochester High School star.
Q: Did the injury affect Scheelhaase against Indiana?
A: Scheelhaase apparently injured the hand when it was stepped on during the first half, Zook said after the game, but his playing time was never limited by the injury.
"Nathan didn't miss anything because of the hand,'' Zook said.
The Illini planned to use senior Eddie McGee more in the D.C. package, the Illini's version of the wildcat formation. With McGee improving from a severely sprained ankle in the second week of the season, he's now able to do more as a receiver and wildcat quarterback. Scheelhaase might be the one player the Illini can't afford to lose, although running back Mikel Leshoure and linebacker Martez Wilson would also be on that short list.
"I didn't think (the injury) was an issue,'' Zook said.Illini fans didn't want to lose Scheelhaase just when the Illini were building momentum.
Q: What's the rest of the injury report?A: Running back Jason Ford suffered a sprained right ankle in the fourth quarter, but Zook was "very cautiously optimistic'' about his return this week, but don't be surprised if he misses a game or two. If Ford is unable to play, redshirt freshman Bud Golden would move up the depth chart and likely get a few carries while the Illini lean on Leshoure and senior Troy Pollard.
Safety Steve Hull, who didn't dress against Indiana, would likely be ready for Purdue after suffering an ankle sprain against Northern Illinois. Dr. Jeff Kyrouac, a team physician, underwent surgery to repair a broken leg Sunday after getting hit on the sidelines Saturday.
Q: What's up with Purdue?
A: Boilermakers starting quarterback Rob Henry suffered a laceration on his right index finger during the third quarter in a 49-0 loss at Ohio State Saturday and didn't return. His status for the game at Illinois is unknown.
That could leave the starting spot in the hands of Robinson, who was 6-for-10 passing for 30 yards with one interception against the Buckeyes. He was sacked twice.
Robinson began the season at No. 4 on the depth chart. First-stringer Robert Marve suffered a season-ending knee injury and projected backup Caleb TerBush, of Metamora, is academically ineligible. Purdue made Robinson off limits to the media this week.
"He's a very good talent and was recruited to play this style of offense,'' Purdue coach Danny Hope told the Lafayette (Ind.) Journal and Courier. "We're excited about him, but we didn't anticipate him having to be in the big games so early in his career.''

One winner will receive a Note 8.0 (white, 16GB, Wi-Fi), courtesy of Staples. The Note 8.0 is the middle child in Samsung's Note family of devices, sitting between the Note II handset and the Note 10.1 tablet. We reviewed the Note 8.0 and, for the most part, fell in love with this device. It packs a built-in stylus that works in tandem with a Wacom digitizer panel to provide you pinpoint accuracy for drawing, note-taking, and other stylus-based tasks.
Our runner-up winners aren't being left out in the cold, though. One winner will have a choice of a Nexus 7 16GB tablet, or an HP Slate 7 16GB. Finally, our third winner will receive a $75 Staples gift card, because you can always use more printer ink. For details on how to enter, just keep reading.
How To Enter
This contest is limited to US residents only. Entering is simple - just follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter widget below.

There's yet another inside-the-beltway rant about the Golden State's dysfunction or demise.
"Welcome to California: America without Republicans" is the title of a recent Opinion piece in the conservative-leaning newspaper, The Washington (D.C.) Examiner.
"The California dream is dead," writes columnist Conn Carroll. "Democrats killed it."
In the Golden State, he writes, "no non-cyborg Republican has been elected governor since 1994," and Democrats have had "complete control of the state legislature since 1997."
U.S. & World
The result, according to Carroll?
State spending doubled from1996 to 2012, taxes have been hiked and hiked, and the state's 2012 budget "is still $15.7 billion in the red."
And if President Obama wins re-election and Republicans move toward policy compromise—or as Carroll put it, if they "[sign] on to Obama's unprecedented expansion of the welfare state," America "would look a lot like…California."
We all know California is hurting and teetering on the edge of a dicey fiscal cliff.
But, whatever California's travails are now, they are not owned only by Democrats; both Republicans and Democrats share the responsibility—or the blame—for the muddled state of the Golden State.
For better or worse, legislative Democrats cannot raise taxes alone; it still takes Republican votes to meet the two-thirds majority necessary to pass tax hikes.
That used to be possible under both Democratic and Republican governors, regardless of which party controlled the legislature.
Republicans, by the way, have controlled the Governor's office for nearly 15 of the last 21-plus years—contrary to Mr. Carroll's one-party finger-pointing.
Governors Ronald Reagan and Pete Wilson, both Republicans, were able to shepherd then-record tax increases through Democratically controlled legislatures, with the help of GOP votes.
Lately, that can't happen under either a Democratic or Republican governor, largely because of intransigence by Republican lawmakers on the issue of taxation.
Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger tried and failed, which sent him to the initiative process. Democratic Governor Jerry Brown just recently tried and failed—sending him, too, to the initiative process come this November.
In addition, as the world's ninth largest economy (according to the Palo Alto-based Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy), California has found itself susceptible to fall-out from Europe's economic woes, further hampering the state's ability to expand its revenue base.
The nation already looks a lot like California—its politics polarized, its Republican legislators intransigent on matters of taxing and spending, its government near fiscal calamity, and its economy buffeted by global tribulations beyond its control.
The significant difference may be that, if things continue as they are going politically here in the Golden State, California may really become "America without Republicans."

New Issue of OGS Families - Cont'd
To continue the overview that I started the other day of the papers in the Ontario Genealogical Society's journal, Families, there are four more papers in the November issue, and they are -
"Where Are The Records?" is an ongoing column by Gwen Patterson in which she takes often overlooked resources at the archives or library and sets them in context so that Ontario researchers can use them.
In this issue, she has a piece on "The Papers of Andrew F. Hunter (1863-1940), Simcoe County Historian" and there are newspaper clippings from The Family Herald and Weekly Star. These clippings concern Lost Persons and Deaths from 1936 to 1938.
"Unfolding Old Documents", by Dr. Fraser Dunford, the Executive Director of the Ontario Genealogical Society, goes through the work involved in taking old papers to ready them for scanning. There are photos, and the step-by-step process is described for those people who are faced with the same problem.
'The Edgars in Glengarry Country and Abroad", by James Somerville Edgar, tells the story of the searching for Charles Edgar of Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland.
"Documenting Ontario War Dead, 1918-1950", by military archivist Glenn Wright. Since November is Remembrance Month in Canada, Glenn has written a new book called Canadians at War 1914-1919: A Research Guide to World War One Service Records, which details the records in Canada.
This paper goes through the Circumstances of Death Registers (which are not online) in the Library and Archives Canada, and he tells us, in detail, how to use these records.
In the February issue, the lead article will be "How to Research Your Jamaican Ancestry from Canada", by Dorothy Kew, in honor of Heritage Day in Ontario.
It's one in a variety of other similar excellent articles written by enlightened and exciting authors.

Yunel works out, may return to lineup Saturday
John Jackson is a contributor to MLB.com.
CHICAGO -- The Rays received a bit of good news before Friday night's game against the White Sox when shortstop Yunel Escobar worked out in the afternoon and reported no issues with his right hamstring.
"He said he felt pretty good," Rays manager Joe Maddon said before batting practice. "He wanted to do a normal pregame today, which we're gonna allow him and then we'll make an evaluation. Beyond that, I'm not sure whether he'll be available [Saturday] or not."
For his part, Escobar said he believed he'd be ready to play on Saturday, but no determination will be made until it's known how the hamstring reacts to Friday's activity.
"I respectfully listen and we'll see how he is in the morning," Maddon said.

"My low credit score was a result of credit card debt. When I needed a new car banks didn't approve me. All banks were pointing at my debt but none of them offered anything to help me. When I applied for a car loan with New Car Canada I was approved in 2 days. They also paid off my credit card debt and included it in car loan with a much more affordable interest rate. I love my new Mini Cooper!"August 07 at 7:30pm
Some not very smart decisions in the past couple of years made my credit terrible. Even though I'm back on my feet now no bank wanted to approve me. So, I searched online and found New Car Canada. They connected me with a dealer who approved me. Highly recommended!January 19 at 11:12am
My husband and I had consumer proposal 2 years ago. With the third child on the way, we wanted to replace our old Honda Civic with the 3 old Kia Sedona. The approval took a bit longer because it was hard to find a lender (my husband sometimes gets paid in cash). They found one and the interest rate was lower than we could ever hoped for.Jun 12 at 5:33am
As soon as you apply one of our local dealers will give you a call to confirm your information. You can then choose the type of car you want to buy. To get approved, you require monthly income of $1800+, minimum wage full time is approved.
Our interest rates start at 0%. Our goal is to help good people with bad credit get the car they need. First get approved, that is what is important, then pick your new car.

I've been a fan of Bethenny Frankel's since the beginning of Real Housewives of New York City. She was easily my favorite Housewife because unlike the others, she hit that sweet spot of self-awareness for a reality star: just enough where she could have a sense of humor about herself and the show, but not enough where she was above acting like a lunatic at a Creaky Joints charity event.
I think Bethenny lost me sometime during Bethenny Ever After when she started crying in her closet next to Cookie and Ziplock bags of lingerie. Now that she's getting a divorce from Jason Hoppy, I can only imagine what kind of mess her show would be if she did another season. Not that I wouldn't have a DVR season pass for Bethenny Getting Her Groove Back With the Help of Hoda Kotb. I would enjoy it for what it would be: an hour long Skinnygirl QVC show with interspersing segments of Bethenny slirping oysters talking about how great casual sex is after 40, while Hoda giggles in embarrassed approval.
Yet, despite the wreck she is, I still think there's a lot we can learn from Bethenny:
1. You won't meet the person you'll spend the rest of your life with at a club, which is how Bethenny and Jason met. If you do meet a hot, single, 40 year-old man while strutting past his bottle service table, it doesn't mean your vision board is finally working. You've just found A 40 YEAR-OLD MAN STILL GETTING BOTTLE SERVICE.
2. If you meet a 40 year-old man at a club and his first words to you are, "are you going to get that stick out of your ass" don't marry that man! He's probably going to have issues with non-traditional gender roles!!! I would also argue that if you met a man while you were both volunteering at a children's hospital, and "are you going to get that stick out of your ass" was the first thing he said to you, it still wouldn't be a great idea to marry him. He sounds very rude.
3. Crying in a bathroom during your birthday party because you "don't want all the attention" while you're miked up for your reality show makes you appear insane.
4. If you insist on doing the above, do not write a self-help book about overcoming your screwed up childhood. If you're 40 and still crying in bathrooms at your birthday party, maybe it's time to let go of the idea that you're ever going to "overcome" your childhood. Just be proud that you never went through a meth phase in your 20's.
5. Karma is real, and she will cut you. Look, I love a nice watered down margarita with half the calories and alcohol, and I thank Bethenny for that. However, you can't be telling ladies they should fill up on salad before Christmas dinner and think you're going to get away with it. On her show, Bethenny self-righteously scooped out the meat of a few too many bagels for her not to be stricken with a divorce that she would have to eat her way through like a normal woman.
Bethenny, you did this to yourself. Don't you tell me you only had a bite of each and threw out the rest. Just let it go.

This weekend race fans should expect to get their Bristol fix at Martinsville AKA "The Paperclip". If you remember the last two races at Martinsville they were everything but boring. I don't think there was one straight panel left on any of the cars at the end of the day.
Then there was the Matt Kenseth vs Brian Vickers battle. The two of these guys traded paint and took nips at each other all day long, until at one point Brian Vickers spun-out trying to get the rear bumper of Kenseth for one last swipe. Clint Boyer seemed highly amused by the whole ordeal by chuckling on the radio and making a few funny comments.
If your looking for a fantasy league pick for the Goody's Fast Relief 500 on April Fools Day, Jeff Gordon currently has the most wins out of all the current drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with 7 under his belt.
However, my eye is on the 88 this weekend. Earnhardt has had a great start to the season with top five runs, and he's fast at Martinsville. He almost won last season and finished in second place to Kevin Harvick who passed Earnhardt late in the race and never looked back.

The Summerland Peninsula, located at the western end of Phillip Island, is a site of high conservation value. The peninsula supports the last remaining little penguin colony on Phillip Island - one of the largest little penguin colonies in the world.
A large parcel of land in the centre of the peninsula was subdivided in 1927 into 776 residential lots. Over the following decades, 190 homes were constructed on the 'Summerland Estate'. In order to protect the penguin colony, the Victorian Government commenced a program in 1985 to purchase privately held property within the estate. All properties were purchased by June 2010 and a subsequent three year $3.4 million habitat restoration program was funded by the state government.
Phillip Island Nature Parks is working towards the restoration of critical penguin habitat by undertaking work on the Summerland restoration project, including:
- undergrounding power
- demolition and removal of the last remaining houses and redundant infrastructure
- revegetation
- installation of artificial nests
- pest control
The completion of the Summerland buy-back was also the catalyst for the development of the Summerland Peninsula Master Plan. The Master Plan seeks to address the role of tourism and recreation within this highly sensitive conservation area.

After about 6 weeks being out in the field and working with my MFI, I sent the following email to the 7th class kiva fellows:
I have a burning question I'd like to ask all of you: now that you've been working with your respective mfi's for some time now, what do you think about microfinance (in general)? Any good surprises? Any bad surprises?
What followed was a long, fascinating discussion that we thought would be a good idea to publish here. I've posted the replies as comments to this post. Hope you enjoy!/>

Chinatown, NYC: Cup and Saucer Luncheonette
Burger reviews in the New York City area.
Cup & Saucer Luncheonette
89 Canal Street, New York, NY 10002 (map); 212-925-3298
Cooking Method: Griddled
Short Order: Not a burger you'd go out of your way for, but not a bad option for the neighborhood
Want Fries With That? Skip the fries
Price: Cheeseburger deluxe, $8; regular cheeseburger, $4.50
I love old school diners—counters with swivel stools, decor that hasn't changed in decades, waiters and cooks with white paper hats, pancakes for dinner—but I rarely think to eat at them. And not for any good reason. I just forget they're there.
Why is why I felt like a failure for never having eaten at the 25-year-old Cup & Saucer Luncheonette until this month. Because Cup & Saucer—a mere 10-minute walk away from Serious Eats HQ in Chinatown—is a lovely spot for friendly service and decent wallet-friendly fare in a classic all-American setting.
The cheeseburger deluxe ($8) is the regular cheeseburger ($4.50) plus two slices of tomato, more chopped iceberg lettuce than could fit on a burger (it's more like a boring side salad), a pickle wedge, and a pile of unsalted, not crisp enough french fries. I'd say skip the deluxe and just go for the cheeseburger. The six-ounce patty comes on a standard squishy sesame seed bun and two slices of melted American cheese, under and on top of the patty.
I ordered my burger medium rare and got a satisfyingly juicy patty. Unfortunately, it was bland because they don't season the meat before they cook it. Maybe they'll salt it if you ask. The two slices of cheese sandwiching the patty helped in the salt department.
I wouldn't go out of my way for this burger, but I would go out of my way to eat at this welcoming, friendly little diner. I'll definitely be going back to Cup and Saucer, perhaps for fish on a bun.

An Introduction to Constitutional Iridology
- 10/9/2012
- Categorized in: Free Webinar Recordings
It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. There's something magical about looking someone in the eye. To the trained iridologist, however, the eyes are a doorway to understanding a person's constitution, their inherent strengths and weaknesses. The eyes not only reveal inherited tendencies to disease patterns, they also reveal inherited personality traits. It's amazing what you can discover when looking in someone's eyes when you understand the secrets of constitutional iridology.
Steven Horne, RH(AHG) has been trained in iridology using the standards of the International Iridology Practitioners Association. He is a member and former board member of that organization. Steven has been practicing iridology for 26 years and finds in an invaluable tool in helping to assess people's physical and emotional needs. He taught this free webinar on November 1, 2012.

SEFS graduate student John Simeone, who is working on a joint degree at the Jackson School of International Studies, will be defending his thesis for the latter program this coming Friday, May 3, at 10:30 a.m. in Anderson 22.
While the Russian forest sector languished for much of the first 15 years following the break-up of the Soviet Union, beginning in 2007 the Russian government instituted a set of policies designed to develop and modernize the Russian forest sector. This thesis is a policy analysis of Russia's 2007 and 2008 forest sector initiatives—principally export taxes on roundwood and investment subsidies for value-added processing.
If you can't make this Friday's defense, then keep an eye out for Simeone's SEFS defense later in August. His faculty advisor is Professor Sergey Rabotyagov, and he is also working closely with Professor Ivan Eastin and CINTRAFOR on Russia's role in the timber trade. Should be great stuff!

Power Source for portability.
new posts
for that big of genset and that big a machine y not get a used welder/gen or a small genset and like a used maxstar or dynasty would be much easier to do mobile work
Leave a comment:
12000-15000 watts minimum
This machine has been known to pop a 30 amp breaker when turned on. Running 175 amps it needs 60 amps 240 volt wall power. Think 15,000 watts. Why not just find a used Bobcat or Lincoln Ranger 225?
Leave a comment:
Since you stated that you would not be using this machine at, or near full output, you could run the welder at reduced power (175-200? amps) with a smaller more economical generator without any problems. I believe a 5 or 6KW unit would be in your ball park...........have fun, and good luck.
Leave a comment:
That is the power source I thought it would require, and the cost will set the timing back six months or so. I was hoping that my guess would be high, not dead on.
Thank you very much.

I was looking at the DialArc 250 specifications
and it looks like 12KW is sufficient to power that unit. I have a Sync. 350LX on a 35KW generator...

Power Source for portability.I have a Miller Dialarc HF which, if I am reading the manual correctly, has a 310 Amp capability (which I would never try to use, cause I just don't want to get back into heavy duty welding), and I would guess my use would not exceed maybe 175 Amps.
What I am trying to determine is what power generator I would need, to be able to use the welder both at home and transported to elsewhere, where another power source may not exist. The previous owner ran it in his garage on his 220 volt house current with a 30 amp fuse (circuit breaker) and while he was a low power user, he had no problems. My house would have to be wired to bring in 220 volts, and since I want to be portable, why not just use the portable power generator.
I know that transporting a 500 pound welder around is not the easiest thing to do, and I would like to build a jib crane attachable to my truck to onload and off load the welder, some time in the future. At the present time an engine lift crane has been able to do the task, it will lift up to 1,000 pounds.
I welded for about 15 years (+or-) using most of the welding processes used in a manufacturing shop and mobile to weld on farm equipment. I have not welded since 1979 (a couple of excepts), and have always wanted to have a tig/gmaw/mig welder to toy with occasionally. Now I only have to get a mig attachment or separate welder for that.
I worked as a welding engineer for a large company, for about 12 years, so for the most part I know what welding procedures are and how to do the needed calculations to prepare.
Oh, I am now 73 years old, partially retired (I work as a Range Master at a shooting range), and want to do a little welding for myself and others. Don't let the 73 thing bother anyone, it doesn't bother me, except that I am not as strong as I was when I welded before.
Thanks for any help!

Site Guidelines Updated 22/09/2013
Here are the site guidelines:
These are the terms of use that every member using interactive areas of this site agrees to adhere to.
"Communicating in a chat room or on message boards is different from face-to-face communication. Only the words are seen, not your facial expressions or tone of voice. Please pay careful attention to how you use your words. The use of smilies can help in this.
Remember that the words you enter in a burst of passion or indignant anger will be there for you and everyone else to see, sometimes long after those intense feelings have passed. That's not meant to discourage spontaneity, but just a friendly reminder of the long-term existence and effects of what you post.
You may, from time to time, find yourself in disagreement with someone else's opinion. At times like these, please keep in mind it's safer and more polite to take issue with the comments rather than the person.
By using nfluk.com, you agree that you will not post any of the following material in the forums:
• Any communication that is intended to harass, belittle, humiliate, threaten or cause embarrassment to a fellow member.
• Material that contains vulgar, obscene or indecent language or images. There is a language filter enabled to prevent obscenities on the forum. Posting such words (even in direct quotes from movies or songs) or "masking" words (inserting symbols or extra letters into words) in order to bypass the filter will result in modification of the offending post without warning and suitable discipline.
• Any communication that contains spam (multiple copies in one area or the same communication in multiple areas), or multiple pointless threads, especially if other threads are in existence that deal with the same thing (otherwise known as trolling).
• Material that defames, abuses or threatens others.
• Statements that are bigoted, hateful or racially offensive.
• Material that advocates illegal activity or discusses illegal activities with the intent to commit them.
• Posting the personal information(Names, addresses, phone numbers, etc..) of another poster or anyone else will result in an immediate lifetime ban
• Unauthorized copyrighted material.
• Material reserved for subscription, i.e. ESPN Insider, InsideFootball.com and any other subscription news service. You may post a brief summary with a link to such an article, but you may NOT copy and paste contents of the article and then post on nfluk.com
• Advertising or any form of commercial solicitation.
• Material that impedes or otherwise prohibits communication; disrupts the discussion including, without limitation, using fan names in topical boards that are offensive to the topic, the team, the sport and/or its fans, and repeatedly posting off-topic messages in a topical message board.
• Starting new threads with the sole intention of personally attacking another member will result in an immediate suspension.
• Any other behaviour that is deemed unacceptable by the mods and not in the spirit of the forum.
• Links posted to fan blogs and websites should only be posted in the 'NFL In The UK' section, and each user may only create one thread containing all links to any new articles etc. Multiple threads will be deleted and may result in an infraction being issued.
In general terms a member should have only one active screen name for use in the forum section. This way everyone knows who they are dealing with, and not a second identity which can be used for various reasons, trolling baiting etc etc. This is not allowed.
However there are occasions when a second account could be excused for instance in the fantasy football section. It is understandable for someone trying to get ahead in the league, however if that is to occur then that secondary account cannot be used in the forums, again simply because that user would then be masquerading under a different identity.
This is all in fairness to everyone who uses this site.
Statements or postings that violate the above terms will be deleted from postings upon discovery. While we may attempt to notify you if we move or delete a post, we are under no obligation to do so. Depending on the nature of the violation, the nfluk.com at their sole discretion may terminate a customer's account without warning.
Action will be taken in the following ways
Comment moderated - a single word or sentence removed or replaced. This covers the majority of moderations.
Post removed - if the post contains too many swearwords or offensive material, or the moderator doesn't have time - a post may be deleted.
Thread locked - if a series of posts contains material then a thread may be locked for an indefinite period of time to allow for it to be moderated without interruption. Sometimes this may have occurred because a single illicit post has been requoted.
Thread deleted - if the first post on a thread is a problem, the thread may disappear very quickly.
Failure to comply with the rules and regulations stated above will result in an infraction point being imposed by a member of the Moderating staff.
Once a member has amassed 10 points they will be automatically banned by the infraction system for 3 days. When this ban expires, that user will return with the 10 points and any further infractions will be added to that total. Once a member has amassed 16 points they will be automatically banned by the infraction system for 2 weeks. If a user reached 20 points, the infraction system will impose an override to move this user to the permanent ban section of the site. At this stage, the moderators will need to make a decision as to whether a permanent ban is appropriate or whether a short term ban will suffice
Repeat violators will be subject to lengthy suspensions and/or permanent banning without further notice.
The Moderators"
