Does any body here know whether condensate water is "pumped" out of the unit OR is " evaporated" out and then discharged out with the air exhaust ?[/quote]
The operation should be much like that of the window units.
Water is condensed from the air and this condesate will drip into a collection pan. The elimination process is two fold. The water is splashed on the evaporator to help cool it down and evaporate the water. The air borne water will be blown through the tube and out the window.
On heavy damp days the system may be over whelmed with the water collected and you will have to remove the water from the collection pan.
This is basically a window unit with plumbing and wheels.
The advantage of a window unit is it drains the overflow out the window.
The advantage of this unit is it is portable. maybe a plus, or not.
I want to do the same thing, does this unit need to have a water discharge hose? Can i just empty the tank every so often?
Tatts wrote:Sure, and the workers will just love you for doing that!
We had a similar setup to cool a small, overloaded server room that overheated. We dumped the warm air into a larger conditioned space (ours was a 2-hose unit, not 1). The air supply into the server room just could not handle the heat, so this took the load off and transferred it to a larger, seldom-used space.
You'll need to handle the water situation, though.

Safe to guess that maybe our cost went up since 9months ago.
Whoa. Companies never try to make more margin on any product any time in the whole wide world.
Would it be equally safe to guess that maybe your margin is going up since 9 months ago?
You raised prices, own it- don't feel like you need to justify it. If someone doesn't understand basic supply/demand/costs that's a lesson they won't learn from a post; but you know and I know that your cost didn't go up $30 as your response implies.
Hmm.. this unit (heh, unit) is tempting in case I would need to use my generator in the summer heat.. my genny is way too small for the central air, but to keep a couple rooms cool.. seems like a good idea.
I used to work nights and sleep during the day. My housing doesn't allow AC, so if it was 90 degrees outside, it was probably 110 in my bedroom. Try sleeping through that! The unit I bought was not the same model as this, but same manufacturer and similar specs. I found it pretty easy to set up--hang the vent in the window and plug it in--it was fairly quiet and did an adequate job of cooling a roughly 12x12 bedroom. My biggest concern with it was while it ran fairly quietly for the most part, every time it would start up, it would make a loud click or thunk noise that would usually wake me up. I eventually sold the unit to some guy for his pregnant wife. They have to get used to not sleeping anyway, right?
Low efficiency, single hose design. It sucks in your newly cooled air to cool itself and blows it outside sucking hot air into the room to replace it. Otherwise great unit.
Bought 1 last summer, then another one 2 weeks later on a woot off. Very nice units. Easy to set ups and operate.
Bought 1 of these last summer. While it certainly is not a "portable" unit, it does have the advantage of fitting inside any window configuration, which is its one advantage over traditional window units. If you have vertical windows (move up and down) then I would recommend going with a window unit. If you have horizontal windows like I do, then you probably should go with this portable a/c.

Does air blow out the hose (like an exhaust fan), or is it just a vent? If only a small amount of air is being exchanged ... no big deal.
It blows a large volume of air out like an exhaust fan.
I got one of these (exact same model, or indistinguishably similar) a couple of summers ago, and it worked adequately to cool a mid-size bedroom. But then last summer it pretty much quit cooling. Out of desperation, I bought duct insulation to cover the exhaust hose (I recommend this anyway, for any portable unit, for maximum efficiency), but it still doesn't cool the room much anymore. Maybe 5 or 10 degrees, tops (the first summer, it was dropping it by about 20 degrees).
As others have noted, the whole window assembly is pretty flimsy and leaky. After a couple of weeks, we cut an opening in the wall and ducted it like a clothes dryer. I much preferred that to having my window blocked.
We never had problems with the tank filling up (but we're in Colorado, so our humidity is very low). The noise level is a little high, but I didn't mind it.
The bottom line is that this is a pretty good price for this unit, and as long as it works, it's not bad. But keep in mind that portable AC units are NOT really portable, they are not very efficient, and they seem to have terrible reliability (we have another unit of another brand that totally conked out after just a couple of months). If any other type of AC is feasible for you, go with that instead. But if this type of unit is your only option, be prepared that you may only get one or two seasons' use out of it. They should be called "disposable AC units" instead of "portable."

ntanner05 wrote:Should I be worried that its refurbished?
I don't know if being refurbished is why it is such a seemingly low capability to output cold air. I bought one last year, and it outputs only "slightly cooler that room temp" air - but never, ever, COLD air.
conanthelibrarian wrote:OK reviews (3.0 out of 5.0) over at amazon
There are some good reviews there that are well worth reading, though as others have pointed out people tend to review portable AC units poorly, largely because they are not as good as a window unit. That's just daft, like giving a laptop a lower rating because it's not as powerful as a desktop. They are not fairly comparable. One is portable and one is powerful... pick what you need.
I've had mine for two years and it's very useful to me. I'm able to move it from room to room, which was what I needed. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 and I'm glad I bought it. The big critique of this unit is the drainage of water. This only affects the dehumidifier mode as all other water is flushed out the air vent in all other modes... which is awesome. Emptying tanks is for the birds. I didn't even know it had a tank until I used the dehumidifier about a year after I bought it.
The problem is that if you do use the dehumidifier then the tank and drainage do come into play, and they are poor. The device shuts down when the tank is full. The tank is small and not removable. Instead it has a drainage outlet that is a low pipe close to the ground, meaning that you have to take it some place to drain or place your own tray under the pipe. I wheel mine out onto the balcony and just let it drain off the edge. You can apparently purchase a drainage pipe and even a pump to handle this better.
Oh and be sure to empty the tank if you're not going to use the dehumidifier for a while... because the tank will rust! I know, pretty daft choice there, but rust is what came out with the water the first time I emptied it after it had stood a while.
Also... it's heavy... really heavy. This is only portable on one level of a house/apartment. You will not want to take this up and down even a single stair.
But given that I live in an apartment and need a very portable unit I'd have to say that this unit has worked out really well for me. That it can vent air, just be a fan, ionize the air, be a dehumidifier and be an AC too... all for $250... well you get a lot for your money. I'd say it was well worth it.
Single hose... meh, I'll pass on this one.

Thanks for the reply ... and although it is not the answer I wanted, it is what I expected. Seems like a two hose system is what I need.

That's why I posted my comment earlier. With a single hose system you are using your expensive conditioned air to cool the condenser. 2 hose is way more efficient.
No SEER rating, no interest.
OT: I ordered the 60" tv off of woot the other day and just got my shipment notice. It says my tracking number is WT######## where the #'s are just my woot order number - ie useless. Will they publish a real tracking number later?

The tracking number should update shortly. If you don't see an update shortly, please feel free to email into Woot Member Services at email@example.com and they can help you out.
Works okay, and I don't regret the purchase, but it is not made for humid areas. The unit had to be emptied every hour/two hours tops. This made it impossible to run overnight, which was when I wanted it the most. I ended up rigging a hose to the spout on the tank and running it to a bigger tank, all of which tended to leak. Don't use on carpet for this very reason.
Assuming they used the same carrier as when I ordered a similar model off Woot Plus a few weeks ago, try the following:
harmony.myseko.com/Track/Result/WT###### (of course, your order number in place of the # signs).
I have one of these and a couple other brands of portable ACs. I recommend the kind with two tubes, for whatever reason (probably science) their tanks don't fill up as quickly. Do not be fooled! If you live in a humid area such as the upper midwest, the tank on this model will fill, and once full, it will cease operation until emptied. This could be more than once in a single evening! Also, the casters either come broken or break very easily, though that's less of an issue.

Correct... because of science.
With one tube, your room air that you've spent so much energy cooling is pumped outside across the condenser to cool it. Waste and expense. Two tubes means that air is pulled from outside to cool the condenser before being returned outside. Your expensive interior cold air is not touched. One tube intake and one tube exhaust for condenser cooling.
I believe this relatively closed system with the outside air/condenser cooling air results in the water not being able to accumulate as much or at all.

Ok, you want to turn your truck engine off and run off an INVERTER?
Unless your truck sports a bank of battery for the inverter, I'd give it a big no. The AC runs at 10 amps. to make that, the inverter is eating 100 amps of battery power. The rule is one 12v 100AH battery will supply 5A for 20 hours. But I would not put it on the starting battery, bad idea.
This was tried by an air con company for trucks. Used an inverter for the exact reason you are thinking about. They took if off the market after a few years. I don't know the actual reason but I would suspect it was because of battery life.
If you do hazzard this attempt, think STRONGLY of using solar panels also on the roof of your truck cab.
By the way, Where would you put it? Kick the rider seat out? I could take that space easily.
Oh well, it was a thought, a
bad one, but a thought none the less,
Wow. I got this today and as some reviewers said, two wheels were found broken when I took it out of the box. Plus it was so dirty and there were scratches everywhere. I know this is a refub unit but I still feel like I got ripped off.

reflex wrote:Who do you contact to get a replacement wheel? Other then the broken wheel it appears to look good, I just have to get it set up.
This is a solution for DIYers who don't mind voiding warranties (like me):
Mine arrived with a broken wheel, like many others described. It works flawlessly otherwise, so it's probably just an issue with packaging or, more likely, poor quality casters that can't deal with the weight.
I went out to Lowe's and found a pair of 1 5/8" casters with plates on top. They're approximately the same height, made out of a higher quality rubber, and the plate on them is similar in size to the original plate on the casters. The original casters have a 1" square plate, while these had a 1" x 1.5"-ish plate.
The screw holes didn't match, so I was about to bite the bullet and find a book or something to prop it up, but then I thought to drill a couple of new holes for them. Took the front cover off to make sure I wasn't hitting anything important. The right side was pretty clear, but the left side has a frame that I needed to be careful not to hit. Marked, drilled, and voila, two new higher quality wheels screwed in with a spare to tuck away when the back ones explode too.
I couldn't find a link on lowes.com, but here's the part I used:
Sorry if this is breaking any Woot rules, but I thought that since this was a common issue, some people would like to know. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Try contacting Sharp. They should have parts to send you a replacement. Sorry for the problem.
Received two of them today. One was shipped upside down. (Is that bad?) One unit had two broken wheels. The other had one broken wheel. I wish all three broken wheels were on the same unit! :-p

The caster wheels are all the same size, and are only being held on by a single screw. Easy to swap.
Mine didn't come with the window kit. On top of two broken wheels this is a real disappointment.

Manchester plans to create bike lanes in downtown area
By TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader | May 05. 2014 10:06PM
As it completes sewer main work, the Department of Public Works intends to stripe lanes on Chestnut Street downtown, from Merrimack Street to Auburn Street, and on Wellington Road on the east side.
The lane on Chestnut would be six feet wide and run between the parking lane and the two lanes of traffic. It would be set part with a dotted line and icons on the street and there would be street signs as well. Signage would be proposed to the committee at a later date.
The committee was not asked to vote on the plan, but responded favorably to it.

Highbury Square, the residential development of the Club's old Highbury Stadium, has been awarded the prestigious 'Special Jury Award' at MIPIM, which is the annual property world equivalent of the Oscars.
The MIPIM 'Special Jury Award', which was presented at a glittering prize-giving ceremony in Cannes, south of France, was voted by a panel of property industry experts, and rewards the Highbury Square project team's tireless work.
The award entry cited how successful the project has been in creating a positive legacy from a much-loved but obsolescent stadium, and highlighted the retention of architectural features and its sustainability credentials.
Arsenal Director Ken Friar said: "I understand that the Special Jury Award is the most prestigious of the MIPIM awards. This award is a great testament to our entire Highbury Square project team, who have all been fantastic throughout the planning and construction process. I must also take this opportunity to thank both Islington Council and English Heritage for their cooperation during the redevelopment of Highbury. Over 90% of the apartments at Highbury Square are already pre-sold and we are all looking forward to seeing the project completed in the summer."

Pereira Golden Goal Gives Liberty Win Against Campbell
A golden goal determined the outcome for the Liberty's women's soccer team once again on Saturday. However, this time the Lady Flames were on the positive end.
After losing to High Point in overtime on Thursday, Liberty squared off with Campbell 48 hours later, defeating the host Fighting Camels in overtime, 2-1.
Forward Helena Pereira scored Liberty's golden goal, finding the net in the 93rd minute. The goal was reminiscent of one the sophomore posted in a 2-1 victory over High Point in the quarterfinals of the 2011 Big South Championship.
With the win, Liberty improves to 10-6-1 on the season and 4-3-1 in conference play. Campbell falls to 9-5-1 on the year and 4-4 in Big South action.
Liberty earns its 10th win in a single season for the first time since going 12-7-2 in 2005. The victory is also the team's first against the Fighting Camels since a 3-0 win on Oct. 9, 2000. The Lady Flames are now 2-5 all-time versus Campbell.
Liberty began the contest with five shots in the opening 11 minutes. In the third minute, freshman midfielder Brittany Aanderud blasted a shot at the Campbell goal, which was snagged by goalkeeper Alexis Connors. Less than 30 ticks later, junior Casey Norris banked a shot off the crossbar. Senior Heather Bentley followed up the attempt, but the shot sailed wide.
Campbell countered with two shots of its own, including an attempt by Michelle Procaccini, which was corralled by Karen Blocker. Liberty then responded with shots by Aanderud and freshman Crystal Elmers. Connors thwarted both opportunities, keeping the contest scoreless.
In the 18th minute, Ashley Clark fired an attempt at the Liberty goal, but Blocker was there to make the grab. Undeterred, Clark headed another shot 20 seconds later. Once again, Liberty's redshirt senior goalkeeper prevented the attempt from reaching the back of the net.
Rebekah Page and Aanderud each took shots on goal for Liberty in the 21st and 28th minutes. Connors made saves on both plays, ultimately leading to a scoreless tie at halftime.
In the second period, Liberty opened with two shots which sailed wide of the net. The Lady Flames got on the board first, thanks to Maddie Boone's goal in the 67th minute. The sophomore defender dribbled down the field into the box, placing a shot into the net from six yards out. Boone's second goal of the season gave Liberty a 1-0 advantage.
The Camels knotted the contest just over five minutes later. Procaccini sent a crossing pass to Kirsty Meyer, who buried a shot from six yards out to tie the game, 1-1.
Pereira took the final shot on goal for Liberty in regulation, which resulted in another Connors save. The Camels followed up with two attempts on the Lady Flames' net, but Blocker made both stops to send the contest to overtime.
Liberty began the extra period with a Rebecca Smith shot that sailed wide. Pereira then fired at the Campbell goal in the 93rd minute, but Connors stuffed the attempt. At 92:59, Pereira tried once more.
Dribbling to the top of box, the forward sent a blast into the upper left corner of the goal for the 2-1 victory.
Liberty outshot the Camels in the contest, 16-15. Corner kicks were even at 5-5. Connors played the entire contest in the net for the Fighting Camels, making seven saves. Blocker also played in between the pipes the full contest, finishing with six saves for the victors.
Campbell heads to Coastal Carolina on Thursday for a clash with the Chanticleers at 7 p.m.
Liberty remains on the road, Thursday, taking on VMI in conference action. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Personally, I think it's too little too late. Most of the comments are right on and bring up some really good points.
Views: 850
You may be right Erin. And what I meant by safe for libraries is actually a lot more than reliable, it generally means the distro having a business license and able to handle a check written to the business name. I think it's a totally legitimate question what distro would be comparable or willing to step up. Instead the question was left unanswered and I got flipped a bunch of crap. Whatever. At least I know who's distro to completely avoid: Click Clack Distro
I hurt your feelings THAT bad by questioning your claim that Microcosm is the only "safe" place to order from? Sheesh!
Erin - Thank you for explaining more clearly.
Geez, settle down you two. Let's stop squabbling and get back to how great Microcosm is. www.microcosmpublishing.com I think I'll make an order today! Seriously though, if you don't live in Chicago (quimbys) or Baltimore (atomic books) then Microcosm is the shit. They put out Al Burian's new issue of Burn Collector which is great and they are continually publishing cool books as a business-and Dan made a good point, there is no one to fill their shoes. I don't see Click Clack publishing books and selling them across the country. I found some Microcosm books in my local independent comic book store. These people are doing good things so all you internet trash talkers can suck it.
a zine distro that by your own admission barely stays afloat.i would also suggest that people running competing businesses would have a conflict of interest when commenting on the business of other zine distributors.
I think there are a couple of distros that could step up if they had more weight behind them in orders from libraries and such. But yeah, ordering zines for a library, especially if you're working for an institution that has a lot of rules about where, when, and how you order materials, can be difficult. I know I've purchased zines out of my own pocket to donate to my library's collection because we can only place orders during certain times of the year and then that's it. I'd be out a lot of the zines that fit in our collection if I didn't. Luckily zines aren't terribly pricey, but it adds up.
NicoleIntrovert mentioned a lot of great distros that you should check out. I'm not familiar with the online ordering of most of them, but I can second Parcell Press, which is one of the ones that could be better than Microcosm with the right support. My library orders from Printed Matter too, but I don't consider them a zine distro even thought they do sell art zines.
Dan 10things said:
None, I stopped ordering from smaller distros 4 or 5 years ago after a couple of bad orders. I've only ordered directly from zinesters, Microcosm or bought zines locally. Which I guess is my point. If people boycott Microcosm, who's ready to step in at the same level? Is there a next Microcosm out there?

Derek- There doesn't have to be one big zine distro/publisher for zines to survive, of course you're right. But, I think for zines to thrive beyond a small community, it certainly helps. If you look back to when zines were in their height of popularity in the mid-90s, part of what facilitated that was a number of larger distributors that could get zines out there. When Fine Print, Tower, etc. all failed, that pretty much coincided with a bunch of larger zines stopping and the small publishing community going through a pretty significant shrinking process. And while you and many here may have the time and inclination to order zines from a bunch of different distros, more casual zine readers, and institutions like libraries, like to have a go to place. I guess I think it's a difference between survival vs. a healthy, thriving small publishing scene. It seems like Microcosm has played a pretty important role in small publishing throughout it's existence, both as a distributor and as a publisher. I think if it fails and no one steps up in it's place, it could have a fairly significant effect on the amount of zines being published, distributed and read in the coming years, much like when Fine Print crashed and burned.
ps- Tower was a record store chain, but not very much of music distributor, they bought their products from distributors, just as indie record stores do. I swear the only reason they bought zines directly from us was because Clint was there and was a zine publisher and pushed and made it happen. So I'm not sure that example is so comparable, it would be more if the biggest independent record distributor failed, what impact would that have on record stores? Also with music, there's a lot more money to be made off sales then with zines, so there is a lot more incentive for a new distributor to step up.
well the music example happened in the UK, affecting Woolworths (not a small chain of shops by any scale) creating the conditions which caused it to go into liquidation
For me the best thing about big distros is that you can avoid the masses of postage that would accrue with ordering from separate distros especially overseas. They also act as a catalogue for other zines I may never have heard of which I may or may not buy from the distro in question and also often have back issues which the zinesters themselves long since run out of. Therefore bigger distros need to remain a part of the zine community
This whole situation with Microcosm puts me in a rather odd moral place. I read the issue of Brainscan where Alex talked about her relationship problems before I had heard about all the other dubious stuff going on with Microcosm- the stealing, not giving credit, etc. Honestly, being a survivor of extreme emotional abuse (which, unfortunately, was quite a bit worse than what Alex got, on top of all the other ways I'd been abused over the years) I couldn't in good conscience feel okay supporting that collective anymore. Really, I agree with people here when they said that the statement was too little, too late. I can understand from a business standpoint why they'd delete the comments from the site, but, well, it does seem a little bit less than honest the way they went about it. And I was a tireless supporter of Microcosm, too- at one point, I even handed out their catalog to friends who were interested in the whole zine culture.
But, at the same time, I can see why people would still be willing after all that to support Microcosm. It is true that a lot of us can't really afford to buy our zines individually from many different sources, and pay international shipping on top of that for our packages. I'd be willing to bet that, unlike me, if you didn't have any investment in the drama, or if you don't really have a clear idea of what went on and continues to go on with Alex's ex and his (former) partners, it would seem like people were making a big deal over things. While all the other smaller distros are good places to get zines and are run more ethically than Microcosm, there still remains the issue of, if Microcosm does go away, how are we going to be able to get those good deals? I'm not doubting the ability of these smaller distros to step up to the plate to do this, but it could be a bit problematic, as it would be more work for them to do something like that.
Me, personally, I don't buy anything from Microcosm anymore, but what other people do with their money is really, their own decision.

At the Close: Stocks Ignore Shutdown; Small Caps Gain Most in Three Weeks
Tourists were unable to visit Mt. Rushmore and other national parks today. The Air Force-Navy football game this weekend might be cancelled. But the ramifications of the government shutdown didn't stop investors from buying stocks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4% to 15,191.70, while the S&P 500 gained 0.8% to 1,695. The small-cap Russell 2000 advanced 1.3% to 1,087.43, the largest gain since Sept. 9.
Why the ho-hum reaction. It helps that stocks fell in anticipation of a shutdown. But it's also because the economic impact, so far at least, isn't expected to be that great. Wells Fargo's Dean Junkans and Tracie McMillion explain:
Investors expect the shutdown to be short-lived—not resulting in enough spending shortfall to meaningfully impact fourth-quarter growth expectations. That is a reasonable assumption since the prevailing disagreement is the defunding of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It will be more difficult to defund or delay the program now as the ACA insurance exchanges opened for enrollment today. Political pressure to fully fund government operations likely will push Congress to pass a budget resolution within days.
If a deal isn't reached soon, however, don't expect markets to remain so resilient, says Capital Economics' Jessica Hinds. She writes:
[This] sense of calm may not last that long. Congress' inability to agree to renew the Federal government's spending authority does not bode well for the negotiations on the debt ceiling, which have always been the bigger threat. If the ceiling isn't raised by the end of this month, social security payments would be suspended and there is even a risk that the US Treasury will default on its debts.
The longer the shutdown drags on, the more nervous investors are likely to become about the outcome of those talks. What's more, if the debt ceiling is not raised in time and the Treasury really did miss a coupon payment on its outstanding notes and bond, no-one has a definitive answer as to what would happen.
And don't expect economic data, like Friday's payroll report, to give markets a boost--there may not be any. Nomura explains:
...most government agencies responsible for compiling and publishing economic reports will halt operations during the shutdown. The statistical agencies responsible for the preponderance of economic indicators are the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of the Census, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Note that although the Federal Reserve will not be shut down (since it has an independent source of funding), the release of some of its data such as industrial production could be delayed due to its dependence on data from other government agencies.
Will no news be good news?
Global Payments (GPN) has gained 3.9% to $52.68 in after-hours trading after it said it earned $1 a share, beating analyst forecasts for a 95 cent profit.
Pitney Bowes (PBI) gained 4.1% to $18.93 after it sold its management-services business for $400 million.
Walgreen (WAG) rose 4.5% to $56.24 after releasing its earnings report this morning.
Merck (MRK) gained 2.4% to $48.74 to lead the Dow higher today after announcing big layoffs. Barron's says it's a buy.
Airgas (ARG) rose 2.8% to $108.99 after it was upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Global Hunter Securities.

Name: Kendrick Anderson | Furniture Maker
Where: Atlanta, GA
Story: Kendrick Anderson, an Atlanta-based furniture maker, was studying English literature in college when he became transfixed with an idea: he wanted to build a table. He had no experience in woodworking, but Kendrick knew he would be able to build furniture; after all, his family history had proven itself.
"My father builds custom homes, and my grandfather owned a sawmill/lumber yard for most of his life," he explains. "So I guess you could say working with wood is in my blood." After searching the city for free work in exchange for an apprenticeship, the single-minded student finally landed at a modest custom furniture shop. Following years of apprenticing and studying, Kendrick opened his own eponymous furniture-building shop.
Kendrick draws his inspiration from mid-century modern proportions, the rejection of ornamentation by the Shakers, and the joinery (how two pieces of wood are held together) of the arts and crafts movement – all together revealing a minimalistic essence that envelopes every piece he creates. "I love the interplay between simple, clean forms coupled with exposed joinery," he says. "I want my furniture to convey a quiet stillness when viewed from across the room, and yet possess increasing depth when inspected up close."
Each Kendrick Anderson piece is custom-made, and while clients generally have a broad idea of what they want, Kendrick embeds his aesthetic into their needs, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that will serve generations. "I am humbled by each piece and every client who grants me the opportunity to create something they will use for the rest of their lives."

Why the new study on high-fructose corn syrup and weight gain is flawed
By Nicci Micco, March 26, 2010 - 12:04pm
Nicci asks: Do you avoid high-fructose corn syrup?
Yes, if I need to sweeten anything I use natural sweeteners like honey and sometimes sugar. It doesn't make any sense to the consumer to use corn syrup, only to the manufacturers - in the form of profit.

According to Nicci Micco in a blog on Eating Well, Karen Teff of the Monell Chemical Senses Center found fault with our study of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in rats. Here are her four points and our responses to them. I hope you find this helpful. Bart Hoebel, Princeton University
Comment #1: The solutions of HFCS and sucrose used in all the studies—there were a few—in the Princeton report provided different levels of calories. (The HFCS, in fact, was lower in calories.)
Response: It is correct that the solutions of HFCS and sucrose were not offered as calorically equivalent. We note this in the Methods section of the paper. However, it is important to note that the HFCS consuming rats in Experiment 1, the short-term (2-month) study, showed greater gains in body weight while taking in fewer calories of sugar compared to the groups consuming sucrose. This led us to hypothesize that there might be something different about the way HFCS affects the body. Thus, we conducted Experiment 2, the long-term (6 month) study, and measurements showed that increased triglyceride levels and increased body fat were seen in the rats with access to HCFS, but not sucrose.
Comment #2: In one of the studies, the authors reported that male rats had a higher body weight after being exposed to 12 hours of access to the HFCS plus their typical rat chow compared to 1) standard chow alone, 2) 12 hours of access to sucrose with chow, and 3) 24 hours of access to sucrose with chow. However, they did not report or do the statistics on the change in weight. Thus, this is meaningless and poorly controlled.
Response: One of the groups listed above is cited incorrectly; group 3 had 24 hours of HFCS and chow access (no sucrose access). As stated in the Methods section, the males in the three groups of Experiment 1 were "weight-matched". That means the average (mean) weight of the rats in each group started out the same. Therefore the end-point body weights reported are in fact accurate representations of the mean body weight change. Ergo, the statistics were done on the appropriate measure. The result is meaningful and well controlled, given the use of not one but three comparison groups.
Comment #3: In a second experiment, they compared chow to chow-plus-HFCS for 24 hours and chow-plus-HFCS for 12 hours and found that access to the HFCS increased body weight. So what? Again, meaningless. This is like taking two groups of people, giving them the same diet but allowing one group to drink sweetened soda whenever they liked. Of course, they will gain weight because they are ingesting more calories. These findings have nothing to do with the controversy between sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup.
Response: The result is, in fact, meaningful. As cited in the Discussion section, we have previously shown that the rats are able to compensate for the excess calories obtained when drinking 10% sucrose by taking fewer calories of chow and thereby maintaining a normal body weight. Therefore, we thought it was interesting and important to report that long-term access to HFCS causes rats to become overweight, whereas access to 10% sucrose does not. While comparisons were made to sucrose in some of the studies, this was not the sole focus of the paper. Rather, we were interested in seeing the effects of HFCS on body weight and obesogenic characteristics, and there were other variables of interest that were studied (as described in the response to the next comment).
Comment #4: Finally, in a third study, they show body weight as a percent of baseline (this is appropriate) and show that rats who had free access to both chow and HFCS gained a tiny bit more weight than chow alone, 12 hours of HFCS or 12 hours of sucrose. They did not compare it to the control of 24 hours of access to sucrose.
Response: The statistical test (Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance) did show an overall significant difference between female rats with HFCS to drink 24-hr per day and the groups with chow alone or 12-hr access to sucrose, as described in the Results section. We did not compare 24-hr HFCS vs. 24-hr sucrose in this study because 1) in our previous studies (with both male and female rats) we have noted that rats with 24-hr access to 10% sucrose do not gain significantly more weight than chow-fed controls, and 2) in addition to comparing HFCS to sucrose, we were interested in the effects of limited (12-h) access to HFCS to see if it would cause bingeing that might enhance HFCS intake or body weight. Further, we chose to focus on assessing 12-h access as a variable because we did not know the effect of 12-hr vs. 24-hr HFCS access in female rats. This was of interest to us in light of the findings in Experiment 1 in males where we made that comparison, and because our laboratory has a long-standing interest in the effects of binge eating of palatable food. We explain and give the rationale for the choice of these variables in the Methods section.
Our study in laboratory rats complements the growing body of literature suggesting that HFCS affects body weight and some obesogenic parameters. We cite in our paper additional evidence reported by other groups that supports our findings, and also acknowledge studies that suggest that HFCS does not affect body weight in ways different than that of sucrose. We acknowledge in the paper that at higher concentrations (e.g. 32%) sucrose has been shown to increase body weight. We are claiming, however, that at the concentrations we compared in this study, HFCS causes characteristics of obesity. The data show that both male and female rats are (1) overweight, (2) have heavier fat pads, particularly in the abdominal area and (3) have elevated circulating triglyceride levels.

No wonder why we are all confused about nutrition. What are you telling us? This makes no sense. HFCS is bad yet not that bad, yet it's bad only when it's good???? Bottom line, avoid it, it is part of highly processed junk food. Watch "Food Inc." Thanks for confusing more people with this pointless article.

This particular study may have been poorly designed, but I don't think this means that HFCS is OK for consumption in the human diet. Robert Lustig, MD of UCSF's Center for Obesity and expert in neuroencrinology, explains the biochemistry of sugar vs. fructose in a lecture that can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM. That fact is they are not metabolized by the human body the same way, with fructose having long-term effects on the body that resemble chronic alcoholism. Therefore I believe its wrong to suggest that HFCS and sucrose are equivalent in their negative health effects.

I've read a few passing mentions that HFCS contains mercury, possibly a byproduct of the production, but it doesn't seem to be part of the conversation in general. I wonder why because it seems way more pressing an issue than the calorie issue.

Mango has never proved as popular as its high-street cousins. Sure, they have all the elements in place. There's the comparable quality and price points, along with the similar ability to have big names front their campaigns; Eniko Mihalik this time last year and Kate Moss for the current season ads. None of that translates into a cool factor equivalent to that possessed by the likes of Zara, however. And when you look over Mango's summer 2012 campaign you'll get a good sense of why that is.
It's simply not hitting the mark. From the use of model Magdalena Frackowiak to the lathering of summer prints and motifs, you can see where Mango was headed this season. But it's all a bit too basic, all a bit too casual. The basic, I suspect, isn't the issue, but rather the casualness is. It's not crisp – on the spectrum of youth and maturity, Mango sits solely towards the youthful side. Zara, with much success, have walked the line between the two. Theirs are collections that appeal to a crowd looking to balance youth and maturity, a crowd who are often young by raring to grow-up ahead of their time.

Legal talkback with the Law Institute of Victoria
November 28, 2012 , 6:29 PM by Patrick Mitchell
President of the LIV, Michael Holcroft joined us this afternoon, tackling some of the issues affecting Victoria.
Mr Holcroft explained how the Baillieu Government has been able to exclude MPs from the same level of scrutiny as other public officials under the new anti-corruption commission, the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC).
Also on the agenda was the state's new chief magistrate and the Law Institute of Victoria's new smartphone application.
And of course, he took a couple of questions from listeners.

James the Giant wrote:Fascinating things, fractals.
You may be interested to know the Mandelbrot Monk article is a hoax written by a mathematician, for an April Fools joke in a mathematical journal.
Ray Girvan (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 1st 1999.
[/quote]James the Giant wrote:Did you ever go to Bodhinyanarama Monastery in New Zealand? Or meet up with a bhikkhu who ended up there? Because they had a most beautiful, detailed book of a recent year's Crop Circle appearances. I thought of you when I remembered that, and wondered if you had given it.
The hoax was lent an air of credibility because often medieval monks did discover scientific and mathematical theories, only to have them hidden or shelved due to persecution or simply ignored because publication prior to the invention of the printing press was difficult at best. Mr. Girvan adds to this suggestion by associating Udo with several other more legitimate discoveries where an author was considered ahead of his time in terms of a scientific theory of some sort that is now established as a mainstream theory but was considered fringe science at the time.
Another aspect of the deception was that it was very common for pre-20th century mathematicians to spend incredible amounts of time on hand calculations such as a logarithm table or trigonometric functions. Calculating all of the points for a Mandelbrot set is a comparable activity that would seem tedious today but would be routine for people of the time.
And the reason for this, the Buddha informs us, is because of avijjā, or ignorance. But avijjā is not a mere absence of information; it is a refusal to see what is at all times there to be seen. It is not failure to see one particular thing among other particular things, but a radical refusal to see the way all particular things are, and in this respect it is as great a modifier as death — indeed, the two are (so the Buddha tells us) inseparable. The dependent arising formulation says, in summary, "With ignorance as condition, ageing and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair come into being."
The deluded person, in refusing to see the nature of all things, refuses also to see the nature of his refusal to see (which is also a thing). That is, he refuses to see delusion. Thus, by denying itself delusion sustains itself. This is stated in the Suttas (e.g. Sammāditthi Sutta, M. 9) as follows:
Friends, that which is non-knowledge of suffering, non-knowledge of the arising of suffering, non-knowledge of the ceasing of suffering, non-knowledge of the way leading to the ceasing of suffering, this, friends, is called ignorance.
For after all, what is "the way leading to the ceasing of suffering"? It is (the Suttas tell us) the noble eightfold path. And what is the first factor of this path? Right view. Ignorance, then, involves non-knowledge of right view. And right view is knowledge of the arising of suffering; that is to say, knowledge of ignorance. Right view is knowledge of right view, and also knowledge of wrong view, whereas wrong view is non-knowledge of wrong view, and also non-knowledge of right view. And this structure of ignorance is, in fact, Catch-22 at its most fundamental level:
Yathābhūtam na pajānāti: he does not see things as they really are: the phrase — so typical a Sutta description of the puthujjana, the unenlightened commoner — is used here by Heller to illuminate precisely the characteristic of being entrapped in a situation. Not only does the puthujjana have flies in his eyes, he does not see that he has them, and he does not see this because he has them. His dilemma is that though he must find a way to see, yet he cannot find that way precisely because he cannot see. Indeed, he cannot even see for himself that this is his problem. And this is the dilemma which, at its most fundamental level, is the specific concern of the Buddha's Teaching. The structure of avijjā, the structure of Catch-22, the structure of "having flies in one's eyes": they are one and the same. Catch-22 is avijjā. The title character in both the novel and in our lives never appears and yet is omnipresent.
"The work is endless!" exclaimed Anuruddha. "No end to the work is apparent. When does the work conclude? When is an end to the work apparent? When will we be able to indulge ourselves carelessly in the pleasures of the five senses?"
"But, dear Anuruddha, the work is indeed endless. No end to the work is apparent. Even when our fathers and grandfathers died the work did not cease."
"Well then," decided Anuruddha, "you know about the duties of the household life. I will go forth from home into homelessness."
You and I would have no difficulty in accepting the statement "all circles are round." It is obvious. Indeed, it is virtually a pleonasm. True, we have not inspected every circle that exists and tested each for roundness. True, we may have personally come across but a minute fraction of all circles that presently exist (let alone those that have been or will come to be). And yet this introduces no jot of doubt into our conviction that all circles are in fact round. Our certainty is structural, not statistical. ...
We saw that experience was hierarchical in its general outlines; we now discover that within experience there exist autonomous hierarchical structures. In the experiential hierarchy "notes — song — concert — evening" the content determined the level within the hierarchy. Notes is more immediate than song and cannot be otherwise. But in the hierarchy of self-deception denial of knowledge is found on every level, and thus describes not a particular level but the hierarchy as a whole. Such hierarchies can be described as replicative, or as recursive.[19]
Recursiveness is important because it offers a stability not present in "ordinary" hierarchies. Remove "an evening on the town" and the entire structure — notes, song, concert — collapses. But remove "denial of knowledge" and we find that…we can't. Recursiveness is not a feature found merely on each level, like the identical floral pattern on each dish in a stack: rather, recursion is the link between adjacent levels. The denial is always on the next most general level to the knowledge. From the perspective of the knowledge, then, the denial is extra-temporal. As long as we fail to achieve a point of view established outside this hierarchy, knowledge can never escape being encompassed by denial, and the structure must remain inviolable. Thus the structure of self-deception has a stability not found in non-recursive aspects of experience — as everyone knows who has ever succeeded in freeing himself from even the narrowest of such deceptions.
But why go to the trouble of so much self-deception? Why should we be so reluctant to acknowledge the necessity, in experience, of impermanence, when we feel no such hesitation in asserting the necessity, in circles, of roundness? The answer will be found reflected in the entire history of humankind. We seek happiness. We seek freedom. We seek security. Or, more fundamentally, we seek. And so we return, as we must, to craving.
19. The word might be defined, dictionary style, as: "Recursive: adj. see Recursive." Curiously, recursive hierarchies seem to play an important role in some branches of Western science, including computer programming, wherein it is essential that such programs do not contain any true recursive hierarchies. For if even one were to be introduced the computer would become involved in an endless cycle and the program would never conclude. In other words, although art may imitate life, a computer program, if it is ever to arrive at a conclusion, had better not do so too closely.
The term "recursive" (as well as several other words) has been adapted with a somewhat altered meaning from Douglas R. Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid (Penguin Books, 1980). Hofstadter's book is provocative, witty, imaginative, wide-ranging, entertaining, stimulating, and, alas, quite mistaken in its fundamental approach to understanding the human situation. Neither his deterministic views nor (at the other extreme) the free-will views of Prof. J. R. Lucas can come close to the middle way taught by the Buddha.
The Shape of Suffering: A Study of Dependent Co-arising, by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
In this book the author examines the nature of dependent co-arising (paticca samuppada) — the complex causal structure by which dukkha arises and ceases. It also shows how the factors of the path address the causes of suffering in a way that leads to its cessation.

I have made similar use of modern science — chaos theory in particular. There are many parallels between Buddhist theories of causation and modern deterministic chaos theory. Examples and terminology drawn from the latter — such as feedback, scale invariance, resonance, and fluid turbulence — are very useful in explaining the former. Again, in using these parallels I am not trying to equate Buddhist teachings with chaos theory or to engage in pseudo-science. Fashions in science change so rapidly that we do the Buddha's teachings no favor in trying to "prove" them in light of current scientific paradigms. Here I am simply pointing out similarities as a way of helping to make those teachings intelligible in modern terms. Deterministic chaos theory is the only modern body of knowledge that has worked out a vocabulary for the patterns of behavior described in Buddhist explanations of causality, and so it seems a natural source to draw on, both to describe those patterns and to point out some of their less obvious implications.
The non-linearity of this/that conditionality explains why heightened skillfulness, when focused on the present moment, can succeed in leading to the end of the kamma that has formed the experience of the entire cosmos. All non-linear processes exhibit what is called scale invariance, which means that the behavior of the process on any one scale is similar to its behavior on smaller or larger scales. To understand, say, the large-scale pattern of a particular non-linear process, one need only focus on its behavior on a smaller scale that is easier to observe, and one will see the same pattern at work. In the case of kamma, one need only focus on the process of kamma in the immediate present, in the course of developing heightened skillfulness, and the large-scale issues over the expanses of space and time will become clear as one gains release from them.
The teaching on dependent co-arising helps to provide more detailed instructions on this point, showing precisely where the cycle of kamma provides openings for more skillful present input. In doing so, it both explains the importance of the act of attention in developing the fourth type of kamma, and acts as a guide for focusing attention on present experience in appropriate ways [III/H/iii].
Dependent co-arising shows how the cosmos, when viewed in the context of how it is directly experienced by a person developing skillfulness, is subsumed entirely under factors that are immediately present to awareness: the five aggregates of form, feeling, perception, mental fabrication, and consciousness, and the six sense media [§§212-213]. Included in this description is the Buddha's ultimate analysis of kamma and rebirth. The nexus of kamma, clinging, becoming, and birth accounts for the realm in which birth takes place [§220], whereas the nexus of name-and-form with consciousness accounts for the arising and survival of the kammically active organism within that realm [§231]. Also included in dependent co-arising is a detailed analysis of the way in which kamma can — but does not necessarily have to — lead to bondage to the cycle of rebirth. Unlike the Jains, the Buddha taught that this bondage was mental rather than physical. It was caused not by sticky substances created by the physical violence of an act, but by the fact that, when there is ignorance of the four noble truths [III/H/i] (a subtle form of delusion, the most basic root of unskillfulness), the feeling that results from kamma gives rise to craving (a subtle form of greed and aversion), clinging, and becoming; and these, in turn, form the conditions for further kamma.

From an inconstruable beginning comes transmigration. A beginning point is not evident, though beings hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving are transmigrating and wandering on. Just as a stick thrown up in the air lands sometimes on its base, sometimes on its side, sometimes on its tip; in the same way, beings hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving, transmigrating and wandering on, sometimes go from this world to another world, sometimes come from another world to this.
"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and that a man were to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now suppose that once in a hundred years a blind turtle were to rise to the surface. What would be the chances of that turtle putting his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"
"It would be very unlikely, Lord."
"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being. It is just as unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should appear in the world. And it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be proclaimed. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has appeared and the Dhamma has been proclaimed. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths." (S.V,456)
"As to that tainted failure (in living), which is threefold in bodily acts, fourfold in verbal acts and threefold in mental acts, and which, having been caused by unwholesome volition, produces suffering, results in suffering, it is due to those very failures (in living) that beings, after death, when the body breaks up, are reborn in a world of woe, in an unhappy destiny, a state of misery, in the hells.
"Just as a perfect throw of dice, when thrown upwards, will come to rest firmly wherever it falls, similarly beings will be reborn in states of woe, in an unhappy destiny, a state of misery, in the hells, due to those tainted failures (in living) caused by unwholesome volition.
"I declare, monks, that actions (kamma) willed, performed and accumulated, will not become extinct as long as their results have not been experienced, be it in this life, in the next life or in future lives. And as long as these results of actions willed, performed and accumulated, have not been experienced, there will be no end to suffering, I declare. ...
"As to that success (in living), which is threefold in bodily acts, fourfold in verbal acts and threefold in mental acts, and having been caused by wholesome volition, produces happiness, results in happiness, it is due to that very success (in living) that beings after death, on the break-up of the body, are reborn to a happy destiny, in a heavenly world.

B. Klemm
" I was completely amazed at the ease in ordering from LivingDirect. At first I was hesitant to order from a company I did not know, as I feel most people are. This was a last minute Christmas gift and I was backed in a corner so I figured what the heck and gave it a whirl. Not only was the price of the item fair, but the efficiency in shipping was unbelievable. The item made it to my doorstep 2 days earlier than I expected and was exactly what I wanted. Needless to say I will be ordering from LivingDirect again in the future. "

The simple design, ease of use, speed, order purchasing, and online chat are all exceptionally put together. Keep up the good work! "

" I received a catalog in the mail, which sparked my interest in getting bar ware for my husband's Christmas gifts. I thought I would compared prices on-line first, and was having a hard time choosing between two things that I really wanted to get him. With Living Direct's prices and products, I was able to get him both gifts, plus an accessory for nearly the price of what I would have paid if I bought it from the original catalog. "
" I order a lot of on-line products, but your company was the easiest by far that I have dealt with. Thank-you. "

" The air cooler we purchased for my son's sweltering dorm room far exceeded our expectations! He is still calling me every couple days to tell me what a difference it has made in his room and how he is now able to sleep at nights. He says everyone keeps asking where he got it, and how much it cost. They can't believe how reasonable it was in price. We are thrilled with the purchase! "

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|One per tack, and thankfully I sail in narrow rivers , long tacks on the Bay require a different mindset (or a bigger Tervis cup).
|You set me up for the fall chuck . . . (g). I agree and never drink while underway either, except pehaps just ONE cold one.
|I tried the Dark and Stormy, being a sailor I didn't like the 'farting about with Neptune' part (who wants a dark and stormy?). Actually I was slightly misleading, I never drink until the hook is set or the docklines have been double checked. Until then I just sip quickly (but never drink mind you)..
I'm anal in my pre-planning, immediately after a tack I always prep the cockpit for the next tack, makes sure all the lines will run free etc.. then turn on the auto and go make another Gossling's and Coke..
I keep both boards down only when single handing and feeling lazy or it's busy on the water and I percieve a need for manuevability over speed. Leeway in those cases doesn't bother me as I'm generally just lazing away on a day sail.
Yesterday, on the Magothy River (Ches bay north of Annapolis for non-locals) I (singlehanding) was running along in 13kts max, 8 knts pretty steady with motor dragging (been caught in irons, still learning the boat) but with no boards down at all until a double handed F27 Trimaran and I got into a 'two boats on the same course equals a race situation'. Then I dropped the windward board and proceded to go tack on tack with them for a couple miles upwind changing boards as I changed course.
They spanked me of course, by about a eyeball guess 1.5 kts per and 3-5degrees per tack. But I had air conditioning and a queen sized bed, they had speed and pipe beds.

Ok, from this last Saturday in a gale with too much canvas up we did the following and it worked fine.
Winds 42 gusting to 60 and 10-12' seas at twilight.
We basically timed the waves until we were cresting, sheeted ALL the way out and put her hard over to try and turn before the next wave. As she came around, we sheeted in and locked down the boom while letting the main flog. Noisy? Yes but far better than having an errant boom sweep the deck of crew. It seemed to work fine for us as the only sail pressure was from the staysail, which was manageable.
As a multihull sailor and owner, there are some serious differences in the way they handle, compared to a monohull. A big problem with catamarans particularly is the excessive windage most have... it makes turning them into the wind a real bear.
Any multihull can be capsized under the right conditions, just like any monohull can be rolled under the right conditions. In the case of the capsize in SF Bay, it was mostly due to poor judgement and sailing technique on the skipper's part IMHO. Keeping the main sheeted in on a hard turn like that is a really good way to get into trouble. My guess is that the Gemini in question was being sailed by a monohull sailor, using monohull tactics... and that's not a good thing on a cat.
Planning ahead is a good way to keep out of trouble... and unlike a monohull, you really need to reef a multihull based on the gust wind speeds, not the base wind speeds. A monohull reefs for average wind speeds and uses its ability to heel to compensate for the gusts... a multihull can't do that—so it has to reef for the gusts... but most multihulls are light enough that the average wind speeds will keep them moving quite well and they tend to accellerate in the gusts, unlike a monohull, which has too much inertia to overcome to accellerate in the gusts.
One thing that would help... is if you were sailing with only one of the boards down... it would remove the need to raise both boards, and IMHO doesn't really affect the leeward slip of the boat all that much. Not having to raise two centerboards cuts the amount of time spent below in half or so. BTW, if you're running downwind for any length of time, you really should have the boards up anyway...
If you have any specific questions, PM me.
On the Gemini yahoo usergroup forum capsize has been a large topic of discussion for the past several weeks. A chartered daysailer capsized one on SF bay in 15kts of wind. Apparently he was running DDW and then tightened sail and turned hard to a beam reach just as a passing USN ships wake hit him. The combination of centrifical force of his hard turn, 15kts suddenly hitting the hardened sails and the wake tossed the boat.
Bottom line reefing is stated at 22kts, first reef to the jib, and a paper written by one of the usergroup members (with the background to do it) calculated that 28kts on the beam would in fact capsize the boat if no actions were taken to correct it.
Having said all that, I too would like to know what to do when going DDW and the wind builds, but I must turn to keep off the hard pointy things that keep getting in the way.
My current plan, having read all these and the yahoo usergroup posts, is to blow the jib, furl it, tighten the main as much as I can to slow down, pull up my centerboards (turn is then wider, less centrifical force, and no tendency to 'trip over' a board, it'll just slide to leeward instead). Then bring the boat slowly up into the wind, letting the main out as appropriate so it luffs as I turn.
The problem with all that is that, well, it's all that. Hardly an appropriate emergency plan - it would take too many hands to do, and far too much time for one guy (the usual full crew being me, myself and I). Best case is I'm running down wind at 9-10kts, and it would take me a full 3 minutes to get the jib in, centerboards up and main set to be ready to turn. Two minutes at 10 kts covers a lot of water - half a mile or so.
Incidently, dropping my engine (single on Gemini's lifted via a hydraulic leg) does put a 1kt drag on the boat, it might help. If I did that I'd most likely put it in reverse to slow me down even more.
Any catamaran folks out there with different ideas?
|just head upwind, don't jybe, and the sails will luff.... sheet sails in as you get tighter to the wind to get your speed back.
I was running downwind, the main was pinned ot the spreaders. There was too much wind to haul in the sheets without wearing sailing gloves, so I couldn't try that trick then dump it when I started to turn.
I noticed that if I was in a BIGGER gust (I was in about 40 kts) or rather, expecting a biger one, I should have the sail ties already near the mast ( I keep them looped on a hand rail near the mast now) and having a second person is a MUST.

Women's Soccer Adds Three Players to Squad
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's soccer team has added three players to the roster for the 2013 season, as Sydney Buss (Appleton, Wis.), Brianna Messner (Seymour, Wis.) and Katie Schulz (Plymouth, Minn.) have all signed National Letters of Intent (NLIs) to play collegiately for the Phoenix, head coach Trevor Warren announced.
Sydney Buss
Hometown: Appleton, Wis.
High School: Kimberly
Club Team: Appleton Goal Getters
Coach Warren on Sydney: "Sydney is an out-and-out ballplayer. When you're on the attack, you want her to be involved, because she will make things happen. Sydney is a versatile player and could play up front as an out and out striker or as an attacking midfielder. She is a tireless worker on field on both sides of the ball."
Brianna Messner
Hometown: Seymour, Wis.
High School: Seymour
Club Team: FC Green Bay
Coach Warren on Brianna: "Brianna is another local product whom we have seen play many times for FC Green Bay and was an important member of the Wisconsin Olympic Development Team that myself and Asst. Coach Niki Brooks worked with. Brianna is another hard working player on both sides of the ball and has very good soccer instincts. She is another versatile athlete and can play in the defense and midfield."
Katie Schulz
Hometown: Plymouth, Minn.
High School: Wayzata
Club Team: Wayzata Soccer Club
Coach Warren on Katie: "Katy is a quick, physically dominating, tenacious defender. She is excellent in the air and certainly will be a threat on set plays. Katy is also is a very vocal organizer of the defense which is a very important trait to have. She brings a winners mentality having led Wayzata High School to back-to-back state championships in Minnesota."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|If your shop is wired w/ 12ga, go ahead and upgrade your breakers to 20A. If not, run a dedicated 12ga circuit to your welder and get some half-height breakers (two breakers duplexed into a single breaker body) and run 15A to your existing circuits and 20A for the welder. Make that a 10ga wire and 30A breaker for an unforseen new tool.
Welder wiring questions
Hello all,
I have a quick(hopefully) question about my garage wiring related to using my welder. I just purchased a 120V MIG welder that needs a 20A circuit. Currently, my detached garage is fed by 10-2 buried wire. It has a 30A breaker on the main house panel. The garage has a small 2 breaker center with two 15A breakers. One 15A breaker controls all wall receptacles and the first receptacle in the line is GFI. The other 15A circuit goes to a series of outlets on the ceiling that supply shop lights(6 2-bulb fluorescent fixtures) and garage door opener. I'm not sure what size wire is on the 15A circuits, but I do have a bunch of 12-2 I could use. What is the best(and not too expensive hopefully) way to get a 20A circuit for my welder?
Thanks for any help....and FINALLY...I got a welder to start some body work!!!
