Robin.denison needed a new wordpress theme design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 18 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
Moneytree Inc., moneytreeinc.com
This blog site will exist on a company intranet to document a working tour by our Company's CEO. The Company was founded by the CEO in 1983 and remains a family-owned lending business headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The Company currently has approximately 130 retail locations in five western states including Washington, Colorado, Idaho, California and Nevada. The Company also has 5 retail stores in British Columbia, Canada and operates on the Internet.
At this year's annual managers conference, the CEO announced that he would be touring and working throughout the Company in each of the stores and departments in an effort to "connect" with each and every employee and encourage them to better "connect" with one another and the Company's customers.
The blog site should have a "travel" and/or "connect" theme that showcases the Company's markets. The site is intended to allow employees to:
1. See where the CEO will be visiting next;
2. Read and contribute stories of excellent customer service, an example of outstanding team work or some other "employee-related" highlight that the CEO learned about in his last store visit;
3. See pictures of store and department visits;
4. View video footage shot on the visits; and
5. Blog about what is going on in their store or department or comment on an entry.
The Company employs approximately 1,000 people who are the blog sites "Target Audience." Employees can be roughly described in three groups. The first and largest group consists of retail employees for whom this may be their first "professional" job. Employees are required to go through training, wear professional attire and are engrained with a culture of "treating our customers they way that you want to be treated." That culture includes a high degree of professionalism, courtesy and customer service.
A second group of employees are those who work at a "management level." There are retail store managers and assistant managers. District managers oversee a number of store managers and retail locations in a given area. There are also approximately 20 to 40 department managers and people who function as assistant department managers at the corporate level.
The final and smallest group is senior management who function at a "director" or "vice president" level.
We want a polished, professional, easy to navigate site that is upbeat and fun. Attached is an example of a site with a "traveling" theme that has the depth & sophistication we like. Entries do not need to look like this site - it's just a reference.
We would like xml flash photo/s and/or flash video/s and be able to highlight employee photographs on the home page. We would also like a "gallery" where old photos can be placed for viewing and storage by month and year when they are no longer current. The home page should have a place for "Connections" (news) "Features," "Recent Comments" and an advice column featuring the CEO's dogs: Entitled "Ask Buck and Hank" or "Canine Connection."
The site navigation should be across the top: "Calendar" "Gallery" "Connect with Dennis" "Links" "Search."
Please use web friendly fonts and incorporate our Company's mission statement in the footer:
"Our mission is to be the best provider of retail financial services by exceeding our customer's expectations, creating a professional work environment and making a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work."

Comfortable and Light-Filled in California
A clutter-free, high-style home in California
Dorothy said it best: There's no place like home. Although, in John and Jill Kohler's case, that familiar phrase refers not to their beloved home state of Kansas but to their adopted state of California. After years on the road--including stints in New York City, the Hamptons, London, and, yes, Kansas--the couple felt it was time to put down roots. Not in their native Midwest but in Manhattan Beach.
And who can blame them? With the beach just blocks away, a quiet tree-lined street that feels far removed from the hustle and bustle of nearby Los Angeles, and an idyllic clapboard home (complete with a white "picket" fence), it's the perfect spot to settle in and raise their two children--Lily, 9, and Charlie, 7.
"Manhattan Beach is a lovely community," says Jill. "L.A. is so close, yet so far away. It's nice to know that it's out there, but honestly, I rarely leave Manhattan Beach. It has a very small, familiar feel. We walk to town, walk to the beach. That is unheard of in L.A., and it's a big draw for us, having lived in big cities before."
After many nomadic years shuttling from one city to the next, John and Jill knew exactly what they were looking for in a home. And what they weren't.
"Our first home was Craftsman style. I wanted this to be the antithesis of that," says Jill. "I've always wanted a home that was white and light. Having moved here from London, I wanted the house to feel classic, but I also wanted the furnishings to feel less formal. More like a Hamptons-style beach house. Classic and sophisticated."
After finding a lot on a street coveted for its towering eucalyptus trees, John and Jill enlisted architect Douglas Leach, builder Matt Morris, and interior designer Mark Williams to create their London-meets-Hamptons-meets-Southern California dream home. The couple's design direction for the interiors was simple yet stringent: Less is more.
"I asked Mark for a very muted palette--sand and sea--but minus the predictable beachy elements," recalls Jill. "No seashells, no cabana stripes, no nautical knickknacks. Just clean lines, relaxing and serene, comfortable yet striking."
On the main level, white woodwork and a muted palette prevail, creating a combination of traditional and contemporary. Midwestern no-nonsense meets California chic. Rooms spill into one another--each opening onto the next through expansive doorways. Layer upon layer of sun-drenched spaces flow effortlessly, aided by the continuity of wide-plank hickory/pecan floors, hints of subtle sea-glass blue, and crisp linen upholstery.
The palette is straightforward and then some. Williams swathed every room on the first floor in the same creamy shade of white--allowing the architecture and artwork to find their voice without competing with bold color. Patterns and upholstery are kept subtle, with the only hints of beach-inspired hues introduced through the turquoise accessories and gray-blue rugs and textiles. Mantels and shelves are left uncluttered so that beloved items from the family's travels get the attention they deserve. The furniture is architectural--and mostly custom-designed by Williams. A quiet elegance prevails.
"I tried to design furniture with clean lines and warm, traditional woods," says Williams. "Each piece had to be simple in design, yet have a point of view. With such great architectural details throughout the house, when it came to the furniture, we stuck with the 'less is more' attitude."
No space heralds this attitude more strongly than the living room, with its sparse furnishings and restrained palette. There's one cozy seating area--a tailored sofa and a pair of linen-clad chairs--plus two elegant sculptural tables and a smattering of accessories.
Through the dining room, with access to the backyard and kitchen, is the fuss-free family room, the living room's slightly less formal fraternal twin--and the most lived-in room in the house.
Anchoring the monochromatic space is a custom-designed mahogany coffee table, its intricate angles rebelling against the family room's simplicity. Sandy tones prevail, keeping the room in harmony with the rest of the house, especially the adjoining kitchen. "We live in the kitchen and family room," Jill notes. "I love that I can stand at my kitchen counter and be a part of the action."
Both Williams and Jill agree that the roomy upholstered benches at the kitchen island are favorite elements. Ample enough for two and covered in a charming fabric that plays off the island's cool blue, they're the best seats in the house.
"They're unpredictable," Jill explains, "and totally practical. They are easy to keep straight and always look nice and neat rather than cluttered, like bar stools."
Upstairs, in the master suite, the sand-and-sea-inspired color scheme balances the starched London formality with a bit of Bridgehampton beach nonchalance. A turned-wood four-poster and English painted camphorwood chest seem restrained under the lofty beadboard ceiling, offset by the room's soft palette.
The Kohlers' take on the final result? They may not be in Kansas anymore, but they couldn't feel more at home. They have the light-filled, welcoming house that they've always dreamed of. A little bit classic, a little bit rolling stone.

ESPN the Magazine has released the first preview images from their annual "Body Issue," which will feature Colin Kaepernick, John Wall, race car driver Courtney Force and over a dozen other athletes showing off their most natural form.
The biggest surprise from this year's issue, which comes out Friday, is 77-year-old golfer Gary Player.
The three-time Masters champion is the oldest athlete to ever pose for the "Body Issue."
Carly Booth, who at 21, could be Player's granddaughter, also made her debut in the issue. The Scottish golfer tells the magazine that she grew up working out in a homemade gym built by her father on the family's land.
Booth has five tattoos, including a Shakespeare quote that reads "It is not the stars to hold our destiny, But it is ourselves."

Wu earned her fourth All-Ivy selection while Docter garnered her first (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Christine Wu and junior Taylor Docter have been named to the All-Ivy League second team, as announced Thursday by the league office. Wu is a four-time All-Ivy honoree, having also been named to the second team in 2009 and honorable mention in 2008 and 2010, while Docter has earned her first all-conference accolade.
Wu capped her career off ranked first in Harvard history and second in Ivy annals with 1,841 career digs. Her 523 digs in 2011 set a new single-season Crimson record and is the fourth-most digs in Ivy League history. The senior co-captain averaged 5.56 dps, which ranks 16th in the NCAA, while as a team the Crimson ranked 15th with an average of 18.15 dps. Wu was also proficient at the service line, recording 24 aces for an average of 0.26 per set, the tenth best mark in the Ancient Eight.
Wu is just the fourth student-athlete in program history to be a four-time All-Ivy selection, joining Elissa Hart '98, Maia Forman '89 and Erin Denniston '02.
Docter posted a team-best 3.05 kps this season which ranks eighth in the conference. She also led the team in aces per set at 0.27, good for seventh in the Ivy League, and was seventh in the Ivy rankings with an average of 3.52 points per set. Docter tallied three double-doubles over the course of the year to finish with 1.72 dps.
Harvard has had at least one student-athlete named All-Ivy in each of the last 18 seasons dating back to 1994. This is the third straight year the Crimson has had at least one student-athlete earn a spot on the second team.

We are following up our sprint in Athens on the new EngageMedia.org skin with another sprint, this time for Critical Commons, a video site built using Plumi that is a collaborative online teaching tool for cinema studies, and a project designed to push the boundaries of fair use in an educational context.
On Critical Commons an educator can upload clips, attach commentaries and build lectures based on these clips. Other users can add commentaries to existing clips throughout the library. Clips can be embedded on other websites, and the site also forms a media repository for the Scalar open-source media-rich scholarly publishing platform.
Critical Commons is a non-profit advocacy coalition that supports the use of media for scholarship, research and teaching, providing resources, information and tools for scholars, students, educators and creators. Critical Commons also functions as a showcase for innovative forms of electronic scholarship and creative production that are transformative, culturally enriching and both legally and ethically defensible. At the heart of Critical Commons is an online tool for viewing, tagging, sharing, annotating and curating media within the guidelines established by a given community. (www.criticalcommons.org)
Critical Commons was initiated by the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts Institute for Multimedia Literacy, and was officially launched in 2009 at the Digital Media and Learning and Open Video Alliance conferences. It was originally built by EngageMedia and Infinite Recursion on an earlier version of the Plumi free software video platform.
Currently I'm working here in Athens with Unweb, in collaboration with Steve Anderson and Erik Loyer from Critical Commons, to produce a new version of the website based on the latest version of Plumi. Code we develop will be available on the Plumi GitHub repository.

Product Questions and Answers
Can I use Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue to bond rubber to rubber?- Asked by Richard Winter on 21-Apr-14
We recommend using the Super Thick Tacky Glue by Aleene's for a rubber surface.- Answered by MisterArt on 23-Apr-14
Can I use this glue on metal and rubber foam? (a protector to base of metal lamp)- Asked by Disc on 24-Mar-14
For metal and rubber we would suggest using a stronger adhesive such as Gorilla Glue or Locrite Super Glue.- Answered by MisterArt on 27-Mar-14
I made a pendant by gluing a photo on a plastic domino. After it dried I used Clear Tacky Glue as a sealant. When that dried it looked and felt like glass. I love the look but am wondering if it will stay looking clear or will it change color over time?- Asked by Holly on 17-Nov-13
I spoke with the manufacturer and they said that it will indeed stay looking like glass, but because it is not acid-free, after time, it may yellow the photo underneath.- Answered by MisterArt on 18-Nov-13
Can this glue be used to glue egg shells to dominos?- Asked by Holly on 15-Oct-13
Because the egg shell is porous, you will need to use a clear varnish; possibly something you could use as an adhesive as well. You could search clear sealers on our site using the search box above, and the best multi-purpose adhesive we have is the e-600 craft adhesive, which is fairly quick-drying.- Answered by MisterArt on 15-Oct-13
Can I use Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue on wood to add decoupage?- Asked by Cindy on 19-Apr-13
For your use, we would recommend using the Fast Finish Decoupage by Beacon.- Answered by MisterArt on 23-Apr-13

It Isn't Easy To Break Out Of Obscurity In The Music Business
from the so-what-should-you-do deptIt's no secret at all that it's tough to become famous in the music industry. In the past, you had to hope for one of the golden lottery tickets from a major record label. Otherwise, after a few years of trying, you went back to something else instead. But is it becoming any easier these days? It seems there's some debate about that. Music Think Tank highlights some stats on artists who broke out in 2008:
In 2008, 1,500 releases broke the "obscurity line" (sold over 10,000 albums).Interesting stuff, right? Now, the quick conclusion here is that you still need that magical golden lottery ticket to make things work. But I'd argue that's not necessarily the case. First of all, a decade ago, how many artists could have done it "on their own"? Yes, it's a small number now, but it's a trendline that didn't even exist just a few years ago, and the opportunities to do it on your own have only increased. In fact, I'm surprised that 14 artists were able to sell 10,000 albums without a label already. That's really impressive.
Out of [those], 227 artists broke the "obscurity line" for the first time ever.
Out of the 227 first-timers, 14 artists did it own their own; approximately 106 were signed to a major; the rest were signed to indies.
And, of course, "doing it on your own" isn't necessarily the point. We're all for artists using record labels or managers or whoever makes the most sense to help them handle the business stuff -- but just the fact that they don't necessarily have to is quite impressive.
The second problem with the stat above? It assumes that album sales are the judge of the "obscurity line." That certainly may have been true in the past, but it is really becoming less and less of an issue. You don't have to sell albums to become well known, and just because you're well known, it doesn't mean you sell albums. It's not the best proxy for figuring this stuff out.
In fact, that data above came from a great (and absolutely worth reading) interview with Tom Silvermn of Tommy Boy Entertainment, and in the interview he more or less makes that very point:
Tommy Boy is more than a record company; we don't consider ourselves a record company anymore, we're much more than that. Now we're sort of a strategic artists positioning company, and our job is to take an artist from where they are in revenues to a much higher number. If we work with Artist A that's making half a million dollars a year, our goal is we take them to a million in year one, two million in year two, and three or four in year three. That's our goal. And then we take a percentage of that revenue. And we're talking about dollars, not record sales, because we may decide to give the records away, and we may only make about 10% of our money from the music and master use or 20% and the rest of it will come from touring and merch, publishing and possibly sync and other things. We'e not concerned with where the money comes from as long as it comes.Exactly. It seems like he understands completely how the industry has changed and what's happening today. Selling music, alone, is no longer the business model. It may not even be a major part of the music business model. It's much more about understanding what that artist allows you to sell. It could be music. It could be seats in a venue. It could be t-shirts. It could be instruments or music boxes or something wacky. Or maybe it's a combination of them all. And, in that world, "album sales" might not be a very good proxy for who is and who isn't obscure. If you're goal is to make a ton of money selling some of those other things, it might make the most sense to give that music away as freely as possible to get over the obscurity hurdle in order to get more people interested in buying those other things.
Tommy Boy is known for building brands, from Queen Latifah and Ru Paul, to De La Soul and Afrika Bambaataa, Naughty by Nature, House of Pain, so many household names now that you know. When you mention the name, you can see them; like Digital Underground, when you close your eyes, an image of who they are comes up. Coolio ... they all became significant brands, and that's what we did. Tommy Boy is itself as a significant brand. We're not just a record company. Our business always was building brands. How we used to make money was selling records; but we don't see it as the way we can make money now. It's one of the streams of revenue that we can make money from, but it's no longer the most significant or even the second most significant way we'll be making money. We can no longer be limited in how we see artists to the music domain. It's more than the music. We have to work with the artist's positioning.

The Crimson went to five sets for just the second time this season Tuesday night at New Hampshire (OAC).
DURHAM, N.H. – The Harvard women's volleyball team saw two student-athletes record a double-double and three reach double-digits in kills despite falling in five sets Tuesday night at New Hampshire. The Wildcats took the match by scores of 21-25, 25-23, 25-18, 15-25 and 15-12.
Taylor Docter notched her fourth double-double of the year with 16 kills and 10 digs while matching her career-high of five aces at the service line. Hannah Schmidt, meanwhile, tallied her second double-double in as many matches, finishing the evening with 15 assists and 12 digs.
Kathleen Wallace added 14 kills and hit .345 for the match with Erin Cooney adding 10 kills and four block assists. Natalie Doyle and Kristen Casey each recorded 17 digs as Beth Kinsella dished out 29 assists. New Hampshire (7-8) was led by Morgan Thatcher who scored a match-high 22 kills and eight digs.
Harvard (2-8) got off to a strong start with a win in set one despite trailing 19-16 late. The Crimson held a 12-8 advantage early after a Caroline Walters kill and Docter ace, but a 5-1 run put UNH out in front. Harvard responded with four straight points and regained the lead, 20-19, on a Cooney and Walter block before a block from Cooney and Caroline Holte gave the visitors the frame.
New Hampshire responded with wins in both the second and third sets, holding the Crimson to a combined .184 hitting percentage. Harvard turned in the tides in the fourth set, however, using an 8-0 run which included two kills from Docter and two Kinsela aces to force the match to five.
The Wildcats came out quickly in the final frame, opening a 9-1 margin en route to match point.
Harvard returns to action Friday, Sept. 28 when it travels to Hanover, N.H. to take on Dartmouth at 7 p.m. in both team's Ivy League opener.

SIR RUSSELL KETTLE Sir Russell Kettle was the senior part-ner of Deloittes when Arthur B. Foye went to England in 1952 to open dis-cussions that drew DPG&Co. and II&S ever more closely together throughout the world. Sir Russell greeted Mr. Foye, then H&S Managing Partner, with the briefest bit of casual conversation and then moved right to the point, saying to his American visitor: "Well, Mr. Foye, the ball is in your court." On just such a note was begun the far-reaching merger. On that easy note, too, was the close friendship sustained between Sir Russell and Mr, Foye until death took Sir Russell at 81 as he walked along a street in Woking, Sur-rey, on June 20. "Russell was a gracious and courte-ous man, a gentleman by instinct and breeding," said Mr, Foye. "After my first real touch with him that January day in London, there were many meet-ings and much correspondence be-tween us. lie came to H&S partners' meetings in the United States after the merger until ill health in late i960 pre-vented his traveling." Mr. Foye recalled that Lady Kettle had accompanied Sir Russell to the partners' meeting in 1957 at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. It must have been a happy occasion because he called his last house at Woking, in Surrey, Green-briar after the West Virginia resort, but he characteristically used the English spelling, "Greenbriar, a small house with lovely gardens, was built on a corner of ground Russell had reserved from the large house he formerly owned," Mr. Foye explained. "Gardening was one of Russell's hobbies. I especially remember the roses, "The house itself reflected Lady Ket-tle's grace and charm. It was always immaculate and most attractively fur-nished. Russell had a fine collection of etchings and old silver," He was not an etcher himself but served for many years as treasurer of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, On his retirement, ten of the members each gave Sir Russell one of their art works. In 1950, when he completed his term as president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, his senior partners had presented him with an inkstand to add to his small but choice silver collection "as a token of their esteem and to mark his year in office." Those colleagues could also have fun about Sir Russell's penchant for writing letters to The Times of London. Many of his letters were published, and his partners jestingly accused him of writing them for revenue^, Mr. Foye said. The Times paid £ 1 for each letter published. His other writing included a literate history, Deloitte £r Co. 1845-1956, which sets the firm within the contem-porary political, cultural and economic scene. "Russell could write that fine history because he was so well-read himself," Mr. Foye said. "lie had quite a good library at home, especially biographies of English people—he was most in-terested in people—and books about finance, "He kept well-informed on national and world affairs," Mr. Foye contin-ued, "and discussed them with great tolerance and breath of view. He was very conservative in politics." Sir Russell was known as an out-standing professional accountant. When he retired from active practice in 1955, he had been with Deloittes for more than 50 years, ten early ones as secretary to Lord Plender, who pre-ceded him as senior partner from 1905 to 1946. He was selected to serve on the British Transport Arbitration Tri-bunal when the Labour government nationalized transportation after World War II. "He had, like so many of the English," Mr, Foye pointed out, "a love of country that stands above party affiliations when there is a service to be performed," That was the obverse of the man who often took Mr. Foye to lunch at the Gresham Club in London, and then to the billiard room to sip coffee and watch snooker pool; the man whom Mr. Foye remembers as the collector of humorous stories and unusual events, which he put into scrapbooks and into his conversation. He was one of those men who will live long in the minds and hearts of all who knew him, • 13

Gas-Tungsten-Arc Welding: What You Need to Know
In addition to common weld discontinuities such as porosity, undercutting or lack of fusion that can occur with all arc-welding processes, two other pitfalls can arise during GTAW: dulling of the tungsten electrode, and arc-starting troubles. Having the know-how to quickly identify and solve these problems is critical. It's also relatively easy to obtain.
Keep on the Point
To effectively create an arc for GTAW and transfer the welding current to the base material, GTAW requires the use of a tungsten electrode. The electrode is nonconsumable, and tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal (6170 F). So in theory, it can't melt, right? Wrong.
One of the most common tungsten troubles during welding is excessive consumption. On alternating-current (AC) applications, typically used to weld aluminum alloys, operators will set the balance control on the welding power supply toward electrode positive, to effectively remove the oxides from the weld area. However, using this setting also adds heat to the tungsten and can cause it to melt. To prevent the tungsten from melting, welders should set the balance control toward electrode negative, increasing the amount of heat going into the workpiece rather than the tungsten.
A good rule of thumb: Set the balance control on the welding power supply at 70 to 80 percent electrode negative. And, when using GTAW on ferrous alloys such as carbon and stainless steels using direct current (DC), set the power source to the electrode-negative mode.
Finally, incorrect or contaminated shielding gas and loose or cracked hose fittings also can cause excessive tungsten consumption. Take care to use clean, pure argon, and be certain that all hoses are intact and fittings tightened prior to welding.
Tungsten Contamination
Another common pitfall associated with GTAW is contamination of the tungsten electrode during welding. Suspect this condition if the weld puddle appears dirty, the filler rod does not join or melt smoothly into the weld puddle, or the arc becomes erratic.
The electrode can become contaminated if the welder inadvertently touches the tungsten electrode to the workpiece or weld puddle. To avoid this, the welder should adjust the angle of the torch and move it farther a from the workpiece. If the power source requires use of the scratch-start method to initiate the arc and tungsten contamination continues to be a problem, consider using a machine with the ability to perform a high-frequency or lift-arc start.
Another cause of tungsten contamination is touching the filler rod to the tungsten—the only solution to this problem is more practice to improve the operator's skill level in feeding the rod into the weld puddle. And, in certain cases, inadequate shielding-gas flow, including lack of post-flow shielding after welding has stopped, can cause tungsten contamination. A rule of thumb: Maintain a shielding-gas flow rate of 10 to 20 ft.3/hr., and a post-flow of around 1 sec. for every 10 A of weld current used. If the tungsten turns from its normal color of light gray to a shade of purple or black, you'll need to increase post-flow time.
Weld-Repair of Tooling: Proceed with Caution
Repairing metal-stamping dies and tooling using gas-tungsten-arc welding requires extraordinary manual dexterity, attention to detail and an understanding of metallurgy that goes beyond most other welding applications. Even then, success is not guaranteed.
Here are some tips to help ensure success.
• Cleanliness is critical. Be sure to clean within 5 in. of the area to be welded using an acetone cleaner, or by burning off any plastic or silicone residue with a preheating device.
• Use a DC inverter-based welding machine, which will provide optimum low-amperage arc stability and control. An air-cooled torch rated at 50 A will provide the best maneuverability.
• Als use a gas lens—gas lenses smooth out the shielding-gas flow, greatly reducing the possibility of weld defects due to exposure to the air. Some newer gas lenses feature a single filter that also provides improved gas-flow regulation compared to older-style lenses with as many as five layers of screens. Gas lenses also allow for greater tungsten stick-out, which can provide better access to tight joint configurations.
• Select 2 percent ceriated tungsten to provide optimum low-amperage arc starts. A small-diameter electrode, 0.040-in. or 1⁄16-in., will do the best job of keeping the heat restricted to the area on the die that needs to be welded.
• Use a smooth, pointed tungsten to provide optimum arc control. Also, wear an auto-darkening welding helmet with a shade-9 or lighter lens to ensure accurate arc starts and arc visibility.
• Because the base material has been hardened and tempered, selecting the optimum filler material should only be done with the assistance of a reference manual or by consulting with a welding distributor or filler-metal manufacturer.
• Instead of dipping the filler metal into the weld pool, keep the filler metal in the pool while welding, being careful to insert the minimum amount of filler metal necessary.
• To avoid creating stresses in the tool or die that could lead to future cracking, the workpiece should be kept at a temperature specified by a reference guide before and during welding, and brought back to room temperature gradually.
Maintain Focus, Stability
In addition to causing various weld-puddle troubles, contaminated tungsten also can cause an unstable arc. To remedy this problem, remove the tungsten from the torch, clip the end and regrind it. An important rule to remember: Als grind the tungsten lengthwise, not circumferentially since this creates ridges on the electrode and will lead to an erratic or wandering arc. Also, grind a taper on the tungsten that spans a distance no greater than 2.5 times the electrode diameter. For example, a 1⁄8-in.-dia. electrode would have a taper 1⁄4 to 5⁄16 in. long. Lastly, use a grinding wheel specially designed for grinding tungsten, to avoid further contamination.
Weld-puddle troubles also emanate from welding with an excessively long arc—the arc becomes unstable and wanders offline from the weld joint. Here, the welder should shorten the arc by moving the torch and tungsten closer to the workpiece, but taking care not to touch it with the electrode.
Dirty base materials and insufficiently pure shielding gas can cause an unstable GTAW arc, so welders must remember to wipe workpiece materials free of oil, dirt or debris, and, when necessary, use a wire brush to clean the materials—particularly aluminum alloys—before welding. Shield the welds using pure argon; in some cases, a mixture of argon and helium will suffice, but minimize the amount of helium for best results. Shielding gas should flow at a rate of 10 to 20 ft.3/hr.
A final means to remedy arc-starting trouble is to ensure that the ground clamp is secure and check for and replace loose or damaged cables. Keep torch and work cables as short as possible, yet long enough to reach the work area, and place them close together. Check that all power cables have been installed according to the power-source manufacturer's recommendations.
Tungsten Selection
Tungsten alloys are not created equal. When welding at low amperages, select a 2 percent ceriated tungsten. This electrode type provides good arc starting at low amperages, and can be used for AC and DC welding of carbon or stainless steels, nickel, aluminum and titanium alloys. The same is true for 1.5 percent lanthanated tungsten electrodes.
For higher-current applications or for low-amperage AC applications, a 2 percent thoriated tungsten electrode provides good arc starting. Note: Thorium is radioactive, so welders must follow manufacturer's warnings, instructions and the Material Safety Data Sheet for its use. MF

RegularOldJoe needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 85 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
I need a simple and recognizable logo designed for a new humanitarian organization called: International Registry of Humanitarian Organizations. I am envisioning something with the "green cross" symbol and a globe.
International Registry of Humanitarian Organizations
The best design would be very simple and recognizable. The green cross is widely recognized as humanitarian so i would like to include it. The is not the "Christian" cross but rather a green version of the "red cross" symbol. I would also like to include something that denotes a global presence. This will be a registry where humanitarian organizations from around the world can utilize this data base to identify other organizations that would benefit their cause or could utilize their services. The idea is to make global humanitarian efforts much more efficient.
- green cross
- globe like symbol
- the name of the organization
- Note: i am not a designer and am open for suggestions other than the above.
- Item 1...

Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann want to abolish it. Rick Perry vows that he would declare a moratorium on all its activities the moment he becomes president. Herman Cain wants it replaced by an independent commission.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), clearly, is not on many Republicans' Christmas card list. In their debates and in speeches, the GOP presidential candidates have crystallized conservatives' charge against the agency: Its regulations kill jobs.
Under a Democratic president – and at a time of economic turbulence – the EPA faces harsh criticism from the political right for being heavy-handed. But unraveling its actual impact on the economy suggests that its influence is more nuanced, according to several economic analyses.
To be sure, President Obama's EPA has undertaken several key environmental initiatives, such as ozone and greenhouse-gas regulation. But attempts to paint these new rules as economic game changers often overstate their importance, say several independent economists.
"There's certainly a lot of use of this phrase that 'new environmental regulations are job killers' or the flip side: We can 'grow the economy by focusing on green jobs,' " says Wayne Gray, an economist at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. "But either perspective misses the scale of the cost of environmental regulations, which just are not a very large scale of costs for most in the economy."
Among the moves by the Obama EPA that businesses say are most damaging:
•It proposed in January 2010 to tighten standards for smog-forming ozone, though Mr. Obama backed off on Sept. 3, bowing to the "importance of reducing regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty, particularly as our economy continues to recover." The proposal could be reimplemented in 2013 if Obama is reelected.
•It is expected to unveil next month a "toxics rule" under the Clean Air Act that would require power plant operators to filter out mercury and other pollutants.
•Its studies found that greenhouse gases were a danger to public health, meaning that it must regulate them, according to a US Supreme Court ruling.
•It revised a rule put in place by the George W. Bush EPA but overturned by the courts that reduces permissible smokestack emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide in Eastern states. The rules are scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2012.
Scores of power plants and as many as 1.6 million jobs would be lost between 2012 and 2020 if the EPA proceeds with air- and water-quality regulations, according to a recent study by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
"In the area of energy, EPA has been very, very aggressive, much of this based on their global-warming campaign, and the effect is troubling on the energy sector," says Diane Katz, a research fellow with the conservative Heritage Foundation. "If coal plants are closing down because they can't meet standards EPA is setting, well, those are jobs lost."
That could be true, some economists say. But others say that industry-paid studies (as is the one cited above) often include questionable assumptions and economic models not validated by broad peer review. They also note that jobs could also be created, not just destroyed, by regulation. The EPA's rules are required to undergo a transparent cost-benefit analysis that is peer reviewed by others. But business groups, like the US Chamber of Commerce, say the EPA analysis is flawed.
An economic analysis of the "toxics rule" by the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington think tank that studies policy effects on low- and middle-income workers, suggests that it "would have a modest positive net impact on overall employment, likely leading to the creation of 28,000 to 158,000 jobs between now and 2015."
A February report by University of Massachusetts economists came to similar conclusions. Investments driven by the EPA's new air-quality rules on ozone and toxics "will create nearly 1.5 million jobs, or nearly 300,000 jobs a year on average, over the next five years."
Some business executives acknowledge that regulations can spur hiring. "We have to hire plumbers, electricians, painters, folks who do that kind of work when you retrofit a plant. Jobs are created in the process – no question about that," Mike Morris, chief executive officer of American Electric Power, recently told The Washington Post.
But most business leaders reject the notion that EPA regulations have benefits. John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, said that "establishing these new ozone standards would be tantamount to putting 'not open for business' signs in counties across the country at precisely the wrong moment, when unemployment is high and on the rise."
Republicans in the GOP-controlled House of Representatives agree, seeking to undo the actions of the Obama EPA. Since 2010, the House has weighed 17 measures to reduce or restrict environmental controls, approving 10, according to the League of Conservation Voters.
Most will have no effect because the Senate won't pass them. But the trend shows Republican fervor. In the Senate on Nov. 10, a resolution to roll back the EPA's smokestack emissions regulations failed, 41 to 56. Its sponsor was Sen. Rand Paul (R) of Kentucky, whose state produces a lot of coal. The EPA, he argued, was issuing "radical, extremist regulations" that kill jobs.
Many economists reject such language as overstatement. Though environmental regulation has become more stringent, US manufacturers have faced only a moderate increase in their spending on pollution controls, says Dr. Gray of Clark University. Those costs, for instance, have risen from roughly 0.3 percent of total manufacturing shipments in 1973 to 0.4 percent in 2005.
Some highly polluting and highly regulated industries do face higher pollution-control costs. But even oil refining spent only about 1 percent of its shipments to comply with environmental regulations in 2005, Gray explains.
The numbers aren't big enough to cause serious economic hardship. "The idea that environmental regulations would wipe out an industry or have a serious impact is implausible," Gray says. "Early estimates of cleanup costs are often substantially overstated."

I heard you can input a picture into the Google Images search engine to see if someone has stolen or used one of your pictures without your consent. I decided to try to figure it out to see if it works.
I'm happy to report it's super easy. Here's how you do it.
- Go to the Google Images search page.
- Click on the camera icon on the far right of the search bar. This will bring up the "search by image" box.
- Paste the URL for the image you want to search for or upload it and hit "Search."
- The results will show you every instance where someone has used that photo.
I started looking for images I've used on The Undeniable Ruth and I found an instance where someone pulled an image off my site without my permission. It's a picture of me from Ladies' Paintball Night. Someone put it on a paintball forum without asking me first. Even though this is a picture of me, I don't own the copyright in it so there's nothing I can do to get it removed, and to be honest, I don't really care.
This search engine is one tool you can use to search for copyright infringement, but it won't catch every copy of your photos, just the copies of the photos from your site. I know this picture of my dog Rosie is on my site and I shared it with Attorney at Work for a post I wrote for them. I didn't give them a copy of the image off my site, so when I searched for this picture of Rosie, it only showed images from my site, not theirs.
If you're worried about people stealing your work from your site, keep an eye on your analytics. A lot of people think it's ok to use an image off your site as long as they give an attribution and a link to the source. All they may have done is committed copyright infringement and told you about it. I've discovered two instances of copyright infringement of my work this way.
If you create any type of content and you're concerned about copyright infringement, please consult a copyright attorney in your community who can help you create and implement a strategy to protect your work.
For more information about copyright, please check out my book The Legal Side of Blogging: How Not to get Sued, Fired, Arrested, or Killed.
You can connect with me on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, or you can email me.

Unless you've reviewed an Android phone; felt the need to boast of a Words With Friends victory or needed to record a screen error for some reason, you might not realise taking screenshots on Android is like pulling teeth out.
There have been a few options in the past, all involving rooting the device, but unless you don't have the time nor inclination to do so, you've probably resorted to taking a photo of your screen using a camera. Those days are numbered, thanks to manufacturers such as HTC, LG and Samsung building the feature into several recent phones, but until then Recombu has some easy workarounds for you to try out.

Because of the properties of PEX, this material has become a contender for use in residential water plumbing. Because of its flexibility, durability, and resistance to wear, Pex is also ideal for use in radiant floor heating systems. It can be turned 90 degrees either by a wide turn or using an adapter; PVC, CPVC and copper all require elbow joints. It also has the capacity to run tubing directly from a distribution point continuously to the desired outlet fixture without cutting or splicing; this reduces the need for potentially weak and costly joints. The cost of material can also be approximately 20% less than alternatives, and installation is much less labor intensive.
PEX Tubing and Pex Fittings have become the most popular way to transport water in Hydronic radiant floor heating systems and have led to the newly found popularity of radiant heat. The advantageous properties of PEX Tubing also make it a candidate for progressive replacement of metal and thermoplastic pipes, especially in long-life applications.
Pexheat is committed to helping you with your installation of Radiant Floor Heating systems. We offer Pex tubing, tools and fittings as well as radiant floor pumps and everything you need for your electric floor heating project. You can fill out our RFQ form online or fill it out and fax it back to us. We are committed to helping all who wish to use Pex tubing from the do-it-yourselfer to the experienced contractor.
