The last six months its gone from a mad "proffessor " 12 inch arc to 3/8" .
While it still welds aluminum I worry the transformer is going T3 T4 (208045).
I only found one post on this in searching ,, wonder if there is an ohm
reading to check each side of the coil . Any other ideas besides CB 1 and R5 rheostat .

Weak high freq. Syncrowave 250 DX
and download the manual that matches your serial number..
then adjust the HF spark gaps...
if spark is still weak... i would run the machine in a dark room with the covers off to see if you have any blue corona spark leakage tracks.... dirt and dust can be conductive and bleed off your HV...
barring that I would ask Cruizer what the next step might be....
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

I had a similar problem with my Syncrowave 200 recently. The HF was erratic and you could see fluctuations in the arc.
I checked the manual and looked at the area for trouble shooting. It mentions cleaning and checking the HF gaps. I first unplugged the main cable to the machine and then I removed the right hand cover and started by blowing out the dust and wiping the whole area clean. I then checked the gaps. They were still correct at .008 checking with my feeler gauge set. I dipped the feeler gauge in acetone and worked it in and out on each gap and then blew the unit dry.
When I reassembled the cover and started the machine again, the difference was really quite dramatic. The arc is now stable and the machine is back to its old self.
I plan on doing this at least once a year from now on. Although my machine is a transformer unit, I guess the DX series also has spark gaps. If so, it's best to check them as mentioned above.Miller Syncrowave 200

Your phone rings and caller ID shows an 876 area code. While it appears the call is coming from the US, be cautious with this Jamaican area code. If you do not have friends, relatives, or business associates in Jamaica, there is probably a scammer on the other end of line.
"Anyone receiving an unexpected call from area code 876 should be on high alert," said James Boffetti, New Hampshire senior assistant attorney general. "There is a high likelihood that these calls are from scam artists. Unfortunately, these scammers are very persistent and in some cases verbally abusive, threatening to harm victims if they do not send money."
AARP is joining forces with local businesses and law enforcement agencies to educate older residents about this scam. In New Hampshire, AARP is partnering with FairPoint Communications and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, and law enforcement. FairPoint also launched the "Beware: Scams from Area Code 876" campaign late this spring and created a website with resources to identify and prevent phone scams. Approximately 30,000 calls are made from Jamaica into the United States — each day — attempting to defraud American citizens.

How Area Code Scam Works
Seniors receive a call from an 876 area code, which is often mistaken for a toll-free number.
Victims are congratulated for winning the Jamaican lottery or a new car and then are directed to send a fee of up to $4,000 to process the lottery winnings.
Victims are told that once the fee is received, money will be wired to their bank account and the car will be delivered to their home.
Many times the caller will tell the victim that a representative of the lottery is in the area and as soon as the process fee is received, someone will deliver a check to their home. Scammers often use Google Earth to identify local landmarks and make the scam more believable.

A couple weeks ago I showed that the current Cubs offense was performing as poorly as any Cubs team in history. Their 77 wRC+ (at the time and still today) was tied for second worst in their history. wRC+ is but one metric that measures offense. It's based on Tangotiger's wOBA. Baseball Prospectus has a similar value based on their TAv (True Average). You could use OPS+ to approximate the quality of an offense though either of the other two would yield more accurate results. Baseball Reference uses batting runs (Rbat) to measure a player's contribution in runs above or below the average player. For pitching it's referred to as RAA (Runs Above Average), but for position players RAA includes baserunning and fielding. I'm not interested in including either.
I decided to take a look back to 1974 since that is the year I was born. I added the offense (Rbat) and pitching (RAA) together to get a team total. Three different seasons since then have been interrupted because of a strike. In 1981 they played only 103 games and the 1994 strike resulted in 113 games played that year and only 144 the following year. Several years going back to 1974 the team played only 161 and sometimes even 160. The 1998 team even played in 163 games. The current team has played just 122.
I converted all the totals to 162 games. This means I'm prorating the Cubs current totals, which implies they'll perform as poorly over the next 42 games as they have the previous 122. That may or may not be true. The Cubs could run off a month of quality baseball. They're not as good as they were through those 122 games due to various trades and injuries, but that's entirely possible. They could even be worse than they've been so far.
The 2012 team is 88 runs below average at the plate. This includes pitchers so it's not actually a perfect measure of how good the position players are, but I've included the pitchers for all the years so it's a pretty close. Besides, we know this team is bad offensively even if we don't include the pitchers. The pitchers are 68 runs below average. This kind of surprised me. I knew the pitching wasn't as bad as the offense, but it's not much better. These two combined equal -156 runs above average. That's -207 if we prorate it to 162 games.
Prior to this season, as well as throughout it, I've mentioned that this was the worst Cubs team in at least a decade. I was talking mostly about the projections, but if you included minor league talent I've stated this is the worst Cubs team that I can remember. This was a horrible team entering the season and they lacked talent in the minor league organization to give me all that much hope for the Cubs turning it around anytime soon.
As it turns out, the prorated -207 this season is the worst in my life. If the Cubs somehow managed to be an average team over the next 42 games and remained at -156, they would still be the 5th worst Cubs team since 1974. Only 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000 would be worse.
The 1999 Cubs are the only team even close to as bad as the prorated -207 runs above average this team has produced. The 1999 Cubs were -199. The Cubs will almost certainly fly past the 1996 and 1997 teams. Those teams were each -161 runs above average. This team is only a handful away. The 2000 team was -178 and the Cubs are almost certain to surpoass that. They are also likely to be the first team in my life to be 200 runs below average.
It will come as no surprise that the 2008 team was far and away the best they've been in my life. Remember, this doesn't include baserunning or fielding and there may be a better team though I doubt it. The advantage the 2008 team has over the rest of the field when looking at pitching and batting is huge. Their 170 runs above average bests the 2004 team by 43 runs.
There are a lot of Cubs fans who don't remember 2003 or 2004. The new generation of fans haven't been around the game long enough and have no recollection of those seasons. It's been nearly 10 years. In another 5 years it's quite likely that many fans won't even remember the best Cubs team since at least 1974. It's not all bad though.
Those fans currently have no recollection of how awful they were in 1999 and 2000. For that matter they have no idea how bad they were from 1996 through 2000. With the exception of 1998 when they won the Wild Card, those are the only years since 1994 that currently beats this team in being shitty at baseball. Those fans have no memory of that. In another 5 years they won't remember the awful -134 runs above average that the 2006 team was.
If the Cubs continue to play as poorly as they have so far, they will finish the season being 377 runs worse than they were just 5 seasons ago. They'll be 202 runs worse than they were last year!
The totals for each year are below.

Capacitors FAQ
What they do, and when to use one
Buck Pomerantz was born and raised in Philadelphia. His parents bought their first television set when he was born. He figured out how to run it by the time he was two. Besides athletics, his formative interests included electronics, amateur radio, music, and stage crew work. He got his BA in writing from Brown University. Then he joined a rock 'n roll band as their soundman and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia. After that venture failed, he spent time in Boston, New Orleans, and Berkeley. He worked in a music store in Austin manufacturing, installing, repairing, and operating sound systems for recording studios, clubs, and bands. He moved back to Charlottesville, ran a little recording studio and finally joined Crutchfield as a copywriter. He has 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren, but after a good nap he can still rock out.

» What's a capacitor used for?
» Even if my lights don't dim, won't a cap still improve my system's low end response and overall sound?
» How do I hook up a capacitor?
Q: What's a capacitor?
A: A capacitor, or cap, is an electronic component that can take up, store, and discharge electrical energy. Because they can do all that quickly, capacitors are used to filter or buffer any sudden changes in a circuit's voltage, smoothing the ensuing signal.
Q: What's a capacitor used for?
A: In car audio, large outboard capacitors, sometimes called stiffening caps, are used to prevent lights from dimming when loud bass notes play. They accomplish this by supplying the amplifier with a quick jolt of power.
Q: Even if my lights don't dim, won't a cap still improve my system's low end response and overall sound?
A: Not really. A cap prevents the sound from deteriorating due to under-voltage, but doesn't actually improve the sound. It supports the amplifier by feeding it the power it needs for short bursts. So, while not improving sound quality directly, a cap does make it easier for the amp to perform its best.
Q: What size cap should I get?
A: The rule of thumb is to put in 1 Farad of capacitance for every 1,000 watts RMS of total system power. But there is no electronic penalty for using larger value caps, and in fact, many see benefits with 2 or 3 Farads per 1,000 watts RMS. The larger the cap, the faster it gets ready for the amp's next big hit.
Get Everything You Need
Give your subwoofer amp the boost it needs with a capacitor. We also have all the installation hardware you need to get your capacitor and amplifier up and running.
Q: How do I hook up a capacitor?
A: If you don't have the instructions that came with your capacitor, you should know first off that a cap can be dangerous; it can charge and discharge so much power so very quickly that it can weld metal objects, like tools and jewelry, and melt its own insides out. A new cap comes completely discharged, so it's safe. A resistor or wired light bulb usually is included in the package. Wiring the bulb or resister across the cap's terminals allows the capacitor to discharge slowly and safely. The same bulb or resistor, wired differently, also gets used to charge up the cap safely.
As in all car electronic installations, start by disconnecting the ground cable from the car battery. In this installation, also take out the in-line fuse on the amp's power wire next to the battery.
A capacitor should be mounted as close to the sub amp as possible using the shortest wires possible. This is so the extra charge doesn't have far to go to get to the amp quickly. Make sure the cap gets mounted securely and won't become a dangerous flying object in the event of an accident.
A capacitor has two poles: a positive and a negative. They should be clearly marked on the capacitor. The positive connects to the same positive power lead that goes to your sub amp's positive, 12 volt, connection. Use the same gauge wire as the amp uses for its power. This can be accomplished with a distribution block. Or, sometimes, the cap comes with multiple connection terminals that make it easier to wire it into your system. The multiple terminals act just like a distribution block so, for instance, the power wire coming from your battery can connect directly to the cap's positive terminal while a short cable connects from there to the amp's positive power connection. The negative pole of the capacitor connects to your chassis ground, just like the amp. The best practice is to use the same bolt the amp uses for ground. Make sure all the paint is scraped off around where you put the chassis ground and the connections are clean and tight.
Next, you need to charge up your capacitor. If done too quickly — it could "pop," destroy the cap.
If you don't have the original charging/discharging resistor or light, you'll need to get one. An automotive 12-volt test light, the kind with a bulb, not a small LED, will do nicely. Otherwise, you can use a high-wattage, low resistance resistor, available at most electronics parts stores. The exact value doesn't matter, but get one with a value of 10-1,000 ohms along with a rating of 1-20 watts. The lower the resistance, the higher the wattage should be.
Take the test light or resistor and connect it to the two terminals of the amp's in-line fuse holder (where you took the fuse out earlier). Re-connect the car battery's ground cable. The resistor will get hot, or the bulb will light up, while the cap charges. After 10 to 30 minutes, the bulb will fade out, or the resistor will start to cool. Remove the light or resistor carefully — they can get very hot. As you replace the fuse, you may experience a small spark — that's okay, but should remind you of how powerful the electric forces involved are. Your capacitor is now installed.
Q: My cap has a third terminal. What's that for?
A: Some caps come with a built-in meter that displays the voltage. If a meter were to stay on constantly, it could drain the car's battery. So caps with meters often have a remote turn-on lead connection, just like car amplifiers, so the meter turns off with the system. A thin, 18-ga. or so, wire should run from the cap's turn-on connection to the amplifier's remote turn-on terminal, or any other switched 12 volt power source.

About Me
Chris Goedhart
Professor of Agriculture
After growing up in Southern California, I obtained degrees in biology, plant science, and plant physiology in several parts of the country before coming to NW Iowa�to teach in in 1986.�
- B.Sc. Biology, Calvin College
- M.Sc. Plant Science, U.C. Riverside
- Ph.D. Plant Physiology, Virginia Tech
I enjoy teaching a variety of courses in agronomy, soil science, crop protection, and horticulture as well as a senior capstone course. I have maintained diverse interests in agriculture by continuing to visit farms and farmers in seventeen states in the following U.S. regions (Northwest, Southwest, Central, and Southeast.) These courses not only provide foundational concepts and develop a knowledge base, but also challenge students to understand how perspective�influences the questions asked and directions taken by a field of study. Similarly students discover how a Christian perspective becomes integral to studying cultures, technologies, and the biotic world. The following are courses which I teach:
Introduction to Plant Sciences
Nature and Properties of Soils
Horticultural Plants
Forage Crop Management
Entomology and Pest Management
Plant Pathology and Weed Science
Field Crop Management
Senior Capstone Seminar
Agriculture Directed Study
Agriculture student teams at Dordt are required to develop a directed research proposal with the help of a faculty mentor. Some examples of student projects which I have mentored include the following:
- Evidence for Corn Rootworm Egg-laying in Alfalfa
- Investigating the Potential of the Illinois Soil Nitrogen Test as a Management Tool for Corn
- Allelopathy of Hazelnuts
- Effects of Corn Hybrid and Harvest Moisture on Total Extractable Starch
- Effects of a Humic Acid Product (Ignite) on Corn Production
- Effect of Compost and Compost Tea on Soil Microbial Respiration of Sterilized Soils
This summer, I will be learning more about the application of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles; 'drones') and GIS software to agriculture at Dordt College's Agriculture Stewardship Center (ASC).

Day 1 Mexico City
Arrive in Mexico City at any time. There are no planned activities during the day, so check into the hotel and enjoy this charming city. Please try to arrive before 6pm for an important group meeting where you can meet the Chief Experience Officer (CEO) and the other group members. Explore the world's largest metropolitan area or take an optional day trip to the famous archaeological site of Teotihuacan. The former Aztec Capital (you can still see some of the ruins of the great Tenochtitlán in the centre of the city, or take a subway ride through one of the temples) was destroyed in the struggle with Cortez and those who followed him. Today it is one of the world's fastest growing urban centres, offering a great variety of impressive museums, galleries and range of architecture, perhaps unequalled anywhere else in the Americas. Mexico City or D.F., as the locals refer to it, also has a variety of food to match its impressive visual style. If you prefer to get outside the city, the pyramids of Teotihuacán and the canals and gardens of Xochimilco are two good places to start. A word of caution: Mexico City may be slightly overwhelming at first. As one of the world's most populous centres, it is a crowded, smoggy, urban place where the altitude combined with atmospheric conditions may cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Also be aware that the heat may affect you upon arrival, with a general sense of lethargy and/or loss of appetite. This is no cause for alarm; it is simply a reaction to the heat. Be sure to drink plenty of water (cold bottled water is available everywhere) and do not attempt too much in any given day. We prefer fan-cooled rather than air conditioned rooms to avoid having to acclimatize to the heat and humidity every time you go outside. This is also a more eco-friendly method compared to air conditioning.
Days 2-3 Angahuan/Uruapan
We have the morning to explore Mexico City, then we travel to Uruapan. When the Spanish Monk Fray Juan de San Miguel arrived to Uruapan in 1533, he was so impressed with the Rio Cupatitzio and the lush vegetation surrounding it that he gave the area the Purepecha name Uruapan, which means 'a time when a plant bears flowers and fruit simultaneously.' We tend to translate it as 'Eternal Spring.' Fray Juan had a large market square, hospital and chapel built and he arranged the streets in a checkerboard pattern. It bills itself as the 'Capital Mundial del Aguacate' and it has an avocado fair in November. The town's craftpeople are famed for their hand-painted cedar lacquerware, particularly trays and boxes. Uruapan is a very traditional 'Mexican' city which retains a little colonial ambience. Attractive red-tile roofs top a few stucco buildings and a lush hillside surrounds the city. The splendid little national park, Parque Nacional Eduardo Ruiz is just a 15 minute walk from the town center. On Day 3, learn about rural ways of life as we visit Angahuan, a Purepechan community. Enjoy an included horseback ride around Paricutin Volcano. Both nights, we overnight in Uruapan. Estimated Travel Time: 8 hours Approximate Distance: 410 km
Days 4-5 Pátzcuaro
Start your day off with an optional early morning visit to Parque National Eduardo Ruiz waterfall park with its crystal clear waters in a tropical setting, then it's off to Pátzcuaro. Spend the afternoon marveling at the beautiful plazas and colonial buildings in this magical city. A great day for shopping, or just sampling some local food and drink at numerous outdoor cafes. Lovely Pátzcuaro, nestled in the heart of Purepecha country, is the crown jewel of Highland Michoacán. The town's colonial centre is filled with serene plazas, impressive churchs, pretty cobbled streets and tiled adobe buildings painted white and reddish-brown. It's a great place to explore or relax for a few days. It has 3 main plazas, Plaza grande, Plaza Chica and the Plaza de la Basílica. From wood carvings to pottery, the towns around Pátzcuaro are known for creating exceptional hand-crafted products. To the north is Lago de Pátzcuaro with some small islands, and some traditional Purepecha villages on the banks of the lake. On day 5 we take a boat ride across Lake Pátzcuaro to Janitzio. This small island is full of beautiful traditions including the famous "butterfly fishermen", skilled at using their butterfly-shaped nets to catch local fish. View the colossal 40-metre statue of José Maria Morelos, built as an homage to this independence patriot. We also visit Tzintzuntzan, the 'Place of the Hummingbirds', which was the capital of the ancient Tarascan kingdom. Estimated Travel Time: 2 hours Approximate Distance: 60 km
Day 6 Morelia
Travel to Morelia and enjoy an included city tour on foot to get your bearings. Take some time to explore the capital of Michoacán, a well-preserved colonial city – the historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, or maybe just enjoy the atmosphere with a coffee in one of the many cafés round the Zócalo. Morelia was one of the first Spanish cities in Nueva España. Overnight in a colonial style hotel. Morelia lies 315km west of Mexico City and 278km southeast of Guadalajara. The capital of Michoacán is a well-preserved colonial city – the historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage site – with a large cathedral, an important university and an active cultural scene. Despite its picturesque buildings and active demeanour, Morelia isn't overly touristy. Morelia was one of the first Spanish cities in Nueva España, officially founded in 1541, although a Franciscan monastery had been in the area since 1537. The first Viceroy, Antonio de Mendoza, named it Valladolid after the Spanish city of the same name, and he encouraged families of Spanish Nobilty to move there. The families remained and maintained Valladolid as a very Spanish City, at least architecturally, until 1828. By that time Nueva España had become the Independent Republic of Mexico, and the city was renamed in honour of local hero José Maria Morelos y Pavon, a key figure in Mexico's independence movement. Many of Morelia's downtown streets are lined with colonial buildings and it still looks nearly as Spanish as it did before independence. Estimated Travel Time: 2 hours Approximate Distance: 60 km
Days 7-8 El Rosario/Cerro Pelón/Angangueo
Pass by scenic countryside and into towering forests on the way to El Rosario, a magnificent Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary situated at the top of a steep mountainside. Complete with visitor centre, walkways and forested trails, millions of butterflies congregate at this sanctuary every year. Located 6 km further down the windy mountain road is the small village of Angangueo, which means "entrance to the cave" in the Tarascan language. Angangueo is an old mining town that still extracts some lead and silver from the rugged hillsides. It is spread out along a single main street (sometimes called either Nacional or Morelos) with the Plaza de la Constitución at the uphill end. Stroll through the town's cobblestone streets and visit the impressive churches of La Imaculada Concepción and San Simón. The historical monument dedicated to the area's miners offers a good view of the village. Estimated Travel Time: 4 hours Approximate Distance: 130 km
Day 9 Sierra Chincua/Mexico City
Depart Angangueo in the morning for the 45 minute drive through the volcanic highlands towards the Sierra Chincua reserve to visit a monarch butterfly sanctuary. Enjoy the scenic mile-long hike climbing the hillside as we enter into the forest of tall fir trees of the sanctuary. At an elevation of 3,000 metres, we hike along a path to where millions of colourful monarchs gather in trees, bushes, and even along the ground. Truly an impressive sight! The Mexican government created the Monarch Butterfly Special Biosphere Reserve in 1986. Made up of five hilltop sanctuaries where the monarchs come for the winter, only two are open to the public. Sierra Chincua reserve is the most recent of these public reserves and was opened in 1996. Return to Mexico City in the evening. Estimated Travel Time: 5 hours Approximate Distance: 180 km
Day 10 Mexico City
Depart at any time.

Cisco 7600 Series
The anticipated dramatic growth of metropolitan-area networks (MANs) is forcing a reevaluation by service providers of the optimal use of their existing transport infrastructure. Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) technology will remain a pervasive transport technology because of its well-proven, low-delay restoration and resiliency capabilities. Nevertheless, there is a growing recognition that efficient transport of data traffic in the MAN will require a new class of transport distribution networks. The evolving transport technologies that will support these distribution networks must retain the outstanding resiliency and restoration capabilities of SONET, while delivering improved bandwidth multiplexing capabilities that can be delivered only by a packet-based transport. One of the most promising of these new transport technologies is Cisco Dynamic Packet Transport (DPT), which is based on the emerging resilient packet ring (RPR) IEEE standard.
To meet these requirements, Cisco Systems offers a new Optical Services Module (OSM) for the Cisco 7600 Series Routers and Catalyst 6500 Series Switches that is configurable via software to be used either as a two-port OC-48c/STM-16 Packet-over-SONET (POS) module, or as a one-port OC-48c/STM-16 DPT module. The ability to configure this module for use in either POS networks or DPT networks provides the flexibility that service providers will need to adapt their distribution network to the rapidly increasing data traffic of their end customers. In addition, this module also provides four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to provide additional data connectivity within the carrier's central office. This new Cisco 7600 Series Optical Service Module enables service providers to scale WAN bandwidth and performance to OC-48 speeds, while offering the flexibility to adapt to the distribution network architecture that will deliver the wide range of Layer 2 and Layer 3 services that their customers are demanding

"Whilst relaxing on my balcony today I put my mind to the useful task of mathematically defining disapproval. The unit μ (mu similar to my nickname moo) describes the highest form of disapproval (similarly c is the fastest speed that of light).
If one was to sum the quantity of disapproval required to destroy matter the following equation would apply: matter destroyed or -M= μxc^2/t so matter destroyed in grams=quantity of μ units multiplied by the speed of light squared divided by the time in milliseconds
A unit of μ is a very big number to write down here so we won't bother with that but it is approximately equal to the speed of light cubed - 0.1.
Your homework is to concentrate on intensifying your disapproval in an attempt to approach μ. You may look at the photo below for inspiration."
Thanks, Cherry!

Gilad Atzmon (Hebrew: ×[]×[]×¢×[] עצ×[]×[]×[]â[][]; born June 9, 1963) is an Israeli-born British jazz saxophonist, novelist, political activist and writer. Atzmon''s album Exile was BBC jazz album of the year in 2003. Playing over 100 dates a year, he has been called "surely the hardest-gigging man in British jazz." His albums, of which he has recorded thirteen to date, often explore the music of the Middle East and political themes. He has described himself as a "devoted political artist." A profile in The Guardian in 2009 which described Atzmon as "one of London''s finest saxophonists" stated: "It is Atzmon''s blunt anti-Zionism rather than his music that has given him an international profile, particularly in the Arab world, where his essays are widely read." His criticisms of Zionism, Jewish identity, and Judaism, as well as his controversial views on The Holocaust and Jewish history have led to allegations of antisemitism from both Zionists and anti-Zionists.

Gallery: Axis Mundi Unveils Alternative Design for MoMA Tower
Jenga, anyone? This crazy kaleidoscope of architectural wonder is architect John Beckmann and his firm, Axis Mundi's alternative (and we mean alternative) vision of the much-discussed 53 W. 53rd site, where New York City's Museum of Modern Art is planning its expansion. Absolutely unforgettable with its trippy design, the stacked building is an obvious homage to the technicolor treasures that would be housed within its walls. To make things even more interesting, Axis Mundi explains that its concept is a revolutionary way to express and organize tall buildings as Vertical Neighborhoods (imagine taking a row of several city blocks, ripping it out of the ground, and turning it on its side). Does this kooky new design blow famed architect Jean Nouvel's vision of the MoMA out of the water? You tell us.
Unlike the focused purpose buildings that most of us are used to, Axis Mundi's MoMA Vertical neighborhood mixes and mingles museum space, offices, brownstones, apartment buildings, hotels, restaurants, shops, green spaces and clubs. This means that, in essence, a person could live on the 7th floor, work on the 20th floor, eat dinner on the 3rd floor and visit the grocery store on the 8th floor without ever leaving the building. Ultra-multi-use buildings like this are not exactly new – they are quite popular in Japan and exist in Manhattan as well – but the visual interest that Axis Mundi's purposely bumpy, stacked iteration lends seems to defy architecture's typical attraction towards cohesion and uniformity. After all, wouldn't it be fun if at least one of the buildings in Midtown Manhattan could reflect the diverse energy of the city itself?
Structurally, Beckmann envisions the tower would start with a double-ring, multi-level floor-plan unit, anchored by two cores containing elevators, stairs and other vertical services. Called "SmartBlocks" the jenga-like units allow for a variety of configurations. Single-unit layouts can mix with duplex, or triplex layouts. The units can shift in and out, adding rich texture to the surface, creating vertical garden space, and linking the units in unique ways.
The staggered layers of the Axis Mundi design leave space for vertical fissures that move irregularly up the tower. These bring natural light and breezes into the open areas of the double-ring units and frame theatrical vistas of the city through the building's own structure. Neighbors can pass and greet each other along airy bridges and balconies rather than scurry by each other in long, dark hallways.
Which do YOU prefer?

If we want to play this game then it was done much better by the likes of James Wines more then 30 years ago or even Hundertwasser. This proposal I must say is obsoletely terrible in all aspects and it would be a nightmare to live in since none of the exterior spaces could be ever used because of the high velocity winds that would be generated by the gaps.
With the onslaught of internet information avalanche have we become so dumbed down and myopic that we have forgotten our history?
Like Cesar Pelli is once was famously quoted saying to a student at Yale "You have to be very good to do this type of architecture … and you, you're not very good"
July 17, 2009 at 5:14 pm
this concept is reminds me a lot of the informal communities in developing countries where a mosaic patterns of various materials, scales, programs are congregated to become a larger whole. it is a fascinating urban phenomenon when it happens naturally. to intentionally do something like this just seems a little awkward and pretentious. i'll understand it if the surrounding area is composed of such quality, but in manhattan? maybe it's just me.
personally i prefer the nouvel design, at least it's a play of the type of urbanism that characterizes new york
July 17, 2009 at 3:55 pm
OMG! The new design is insane. AWESOME! Amazing images. Really seems to reflect the city.
July 16, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Funny, I had this very idea about a year ago of effectively stacking houses on top of one another. It seems to be a popular idea recently. I wonder how much harder the support structures have to work in these arrangements.

Comments On Jun 29, 2014:I bought these for my boys 1990 CR 125 and wow what a difference it made in his bike so I bought them for my 2003. They did make it a little smoother through the power band and did give it a little more low end. I would not buy them unless your reeds need to be replaced anyway. I would however buy them over just new reeds because it does help out the power to be allot smoother.

Comments On Apr 15, 2014:Can't beat the performance upgrade (throttle response, bike runs crisper after re-jetting). But it's a known issue that these LEAK even if using both gaskets. Make sure to seal both sides of both gaskets with Black Silicone to prevent an air leak and melting your piston.

Comments On Dec 16, 2013:This intake helped my bike alot. The only jetting changes I had to make was a turn of the air screw. Will buy again if I get another bike that needs a boost in power.

President Obama has spent close to $2 million on 12 different lawyers in an effort to seal all of his personal records. The question the American people should be asking is: Why would Obama want to hide his personal records? What does he have to hide? Moreover, just who is Barack Obama?
The United States Senate, prior to the 2008 presidential election, thought it necessary to question the constitutional qualifications of then-Republican presidential candidate Sen. John Sidney McCain III. Sen. McCain's record was clear. He was a Naval pilot in the Vietnam War. He was also a POW. He was wounded in this war, and he is an American hero. Both McCain's father and his grandfather were four-star naval admirals. McCain's mother, Reberta, was born in Muskogee, Okla., in 1912. This is the family that the Senate committee headed by Democratic Sens. Patrick Leahy and Clair McCaskill chose to investigate rather than investigating Sen. Obama. No effort was made to verify the constitutional qualifications of then-Sen. Obama.
Since President Obama's election in 2008 and extending through his current re-election, numerous court challenges have been made to his constitutional qualifications and many books have been written exposing Obama's questionable past. These court challenges have been systematically denied at every judicial level, including the Supreme Court. On Nov. 11, 2010, The Congressional Research Service, a part of the United States Congress, issued a memo to the Congress to prepare them to rebut and defuse questions constituents were asking regarding Obama's eligibility under the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution. Clearly, neither the Congress nor the Supreme Court wants any involvement in determining Obama's eligibility to serve as president. The only logical conclusion to this inaction is that they are afraid of the truth and the actions it may trigger. It is now up to the American people to push for the truth through both our state governments and our elected members of Congress. All we are asking for is a confirmation of Obama's constitutional qualifications to be president.

First for RecoveryMix before you train keep cool drink after exercisePromotes muscle recoveryReplenish energy storesHelps immune functionREGO has been specially formulated to improve recovery from exercise, by helping you re-fuel, re-hydrate and repair muscle. REGO helps by providing the nutrients needed for your body to adapt to exercise and improve so you can get more from your training and progress faster and further.
Recent scientific studies also show that
REGO helps your immune system and protects your health26G OF FIRST CLASS PROTEIN PER 100GFast acting protein high in glutamine and lactose free to repair muscle, and promote carbohydrate replacement.MULTIPLE ENERGY SUBSTRATESTo maximise refuelling of muscle and liver energy storesBALANCED ELECTROLYTESIncluding Sogium and Potassium to optimise hydrationANTI-OXIDANT VITAMINS & PHYTONUTRIENTSTo protect against free radical damageCO-FACTORSIncluding B vitamins, Magnesium, Zinc and Phosphorous essential for energy productionREGO Recovery is a thick shake type drink in Strawberry, vanilla, banana and chocolateAlso check out...REGO Rapid which is a thin drink in Berry, Tropical, and Chocolate FudgeExtra benefits from taking REGO immediately after your training sessionsVarious studies have shown a positive effect on protein building and carbohydrate energy stores when a carbohydrate-protein drink like REGO is taken immediately after exercise compared to taking it one or more hours later.A recent study also gives some good evidence that REGO can not only replenish your carbohydrate energy stores and start rebuilding your muscles immediately after training but also help your immune system to recover from exercise, especially when you take it immediately after your training sessions. Taking REGO immediately after exercise brought white blood cell function quickly back to normal levels so reduces the risk of getting an infection youre your tired after exercise.Good advice, therefore, is to make sure you pre-mix your REGO before your session. You can keep it in the fridge, which also chills your drink making it nice and refreshing. If youre training away from home, it is worth having a sachet and a bottle or protein shaker in your kit bag (or even your car) to make sure you can mix yourself a drink straight away as soon as you have finished your work out.

I must be having an off day. I'm trying to update my profile pages and cannot figure out how to add links using the "a href=...." tags. I've proofread my HTML a few times and can't figure out where I've gone wrong.
Is it just a standard HTML tag to add a link or is there something I'm missing.

Lets agree that we both will cut down on RF interference. The fact is I have never seen anything in any manual that says it will in either case establish a better arc or create more HF intensity.
If I have 25 feet of torch, 25 feet of ground, welding on an aluminum boat, ground at the stern weld at the bow And yor are saying twisting my cables together near the welder is going to solve the interference on the radio in
the shop and give me a better arc and arc start.
Please print this out, get it notorized and I will take it to Boeing, All American Marine, Nichols Boat, Todd shipyard and all the othermarine welders in my territory and on the web- promise.
9. How do I solve high-frequency-interference problems?
Malfunctioning electrical equipment, such as computers, telephones and radios, is often a sign that you are experiencing high-frequency interference from your welding power source.
To remedy such high-frequency interference, start by verifying that the power source is grounded according to the installation instructions provided in the operators manual. Keep your torch cables and work cables as short as possible, and place them close together. Physically separating your welding equipment from devices that may experience interference is also an option, but doing so can be time-consuming and space-prohibitive.
High frequency signals have a tendency to radiate away from the welding area. These signals may cause interference with nearby radio and television reception or other electrical equipment. One method to minimize the radiation of high frequency signals is to ground the welding circuit. The welding machine instruction manual will have specific instructions on how to ground the welding circuit and components in the surrounding area to minimize the radiation effect

Weldbay, you can't give an example for cruizer to explain because it makes no sense. You can't expect a legitimate answer because if you are welding an aluminum boat and you connect the ground to one end and weld on the other and you are having problems, then you should understand that you need to move the connections closer together. And if you want to argue that, lets say the boat was in the middle of the ocean... or you are trying to weld a light bulb fixture to the tip of the tower on the empire state building, and your ground is in the basement.
What happens when your equipment is portable? Are you supposed to stick a ground rod at every job?
Stop trying to keep pushing your "book knowledge" and get out in the field like cruizer and do field tricks.
What happens if your tire gets a hole in it and your stranded in the middle of the desert... You would wait for a tow truck as cruizer and I would stick a nail in the hole and get to the next station. You are both right, but when you are faced with a challenge you need to just get it done.

I sorry his profile says he is a welding tech, and your's is what a home shop welder.
Read this post you tell me:
T1 Transformer
You want to compare credentials, you want references to the projects I have consulted on or do you want to blow smoke.
I am contributing what I have expeirenced, first hand, if you can not stand another opinion then to bad don't get involved. Until then I will continue to agree where it makes sense and disagree where it does not.
This post ends here you guys can continue to believe whatever.
And you try to keep your ground close to the weld when you are making a deck seam weld on a 110 foot ferry.
And what about the T1 post, the guy had it to a Miller shop for repair, they told him is was a failed T1 transformer, and like I said, that would be a very rare occurance. might be alot of things. Have to remember that You nor I looked at the unit.
As for Boeing and such, I didn't start my life out as a Welder tech, I was doing Avionics/ Aircraft Maintenance Tech for 8 years, rebuilding anything from a small Cessna, Twin Otters to Hercs. Before that I was a Military Mechanic.
And YOU want to compare credentials. you won't even be close....

It is good to see youve speculated all your moves in context to safety. Make it a point to work on your grounding. This is mainly because proper grounding eliminates most risks associated with high-frequency operations. Ground rods are cheap, but then they are not that reliable. The likelihood of most problems will be considerably reduced when you choose high-quality reliable equipment.

Students are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their registrations, and for meeting the stated prerequisites and corequisites of a given course or program. Registration is primarily through the internet, with in-person and telephone assistance available. Students using the web should check carefully that each transaction is completed, and review their registration record.
The information that follows pertains to registration for credit programs.
Registration information for programs and courses offered by Continuing Studies
can be found at ufv.ca/cs or in the
Continuing Studies brochure, published in late August and December each year.
Different regulations and processes may apply for graduate studies. Graduate students should refer to the General Regulations for Graduate Studies.

Choosing your courses
The Office of the Registrar publishes a Registration Timetable of course offerings prior to each registration period, available online at ufv.ca/admissions/semesterinfo/timetables.
You should plan your courses carefully prior to your registration time. If you need help,
make an appointment with an educational advisor in Student Services or your program area.
Registration times
Registration times are assigned according to UFV's Order of Registration policy (see Registration order, below).
The Office of the Registrar schedules registration times just prior to the start of each registration period. Students obtain their registration times through
myUFV at http://my.ufv.ca.
Continuing students who are not attending the current semester will be
scheduled for a registration time provided they have completed credit courses
within the last two years, and are eligible to continue in their programs. See
re-admission policy and program information in this calendar to determine
whether you require an application for re-admission.
Registration order
(policy under review)
UFV's Order of Registration policy (95) governs the assignment of registration times. Under current policy, students are placed in registration groups depending on their programs. The groups register in the following order: first, students in bachelor degree programs; second, students in certificate, diploma, associate degree, or Engineering Transfer programs; third, students in general programs (includes
program paths, General Studies, visiting students, English as a Second Language,
University Foundation program, and Upgrading and University Preparation).
Within each registration group, continuing students in good standing register
first, and are ordered based on number of UFV credits multiplied by the GPA.
New students and re-admitted students register after continuing students in the
same program group, and are ordered according to the date their complete
application was post-marked or submitted. Continuing students in the third
registration group who have both a cumulative GPA less than 2.0 and less than
2.0 in their last term at UFV will register after all other students. This may
apply to other programs in the future.
prerequisites and co-requisites
A prerequisite is a requirement which must be met before a student enters a course or program. A co-requisite is a course which must be taken concurrently with another course. In some cases a requirement may be taken as either a pre- or co-requisite. Prerequisites and co-requisites for each course are included in the course description. The minimum grade required is a C- unless another grade is stated. A P grade does not, unless stated otherwise, meet a prerequisite or co-requisite requirement. Students are expected to consult the current UFV calendar to ensure they meet prerequisites before registering. Students are expected to consult the course requirements in the calendar to ensure they meet prerequisites before registering. Students who do not have the stated prerequisite or co-requisite courses may not register in a course having these requirements without written permission of the instructor.
Prerequisite warning messages are shown during registration through myUFV.
Any British Columbia secondary school course that is used to satisfy program
entrance requirements or course prerequisites must be completed for full value
(four credits).
Course wait lists
See the Registration Timetable for up-to-date information.
If a class is full students may put their names on the wait list. If students are registered in a course they may not also be on a wait list for another section of the same course. There may be limits placed on the number of waitlisted courses permitted for each student.
Until just prior to classes beginning, the Office of the Registrar will contact students
by e-mail if space becomes available. They will be given a deadline to register. If they do not meet the deadline, they will be removed from the wait list.
Once classes begin, students must have instructor's permission to register for any course. Students seeking a seat must go to the first class to seek permission. For online courses, students should contact the instructor by the first day of the semester. Instructors will use the wait lists to fill vacancies for the first class only.
Reserved seats
UFV may reserve seats for students to enable them to enrol in a particular sequence of courses. Reserved seats are removed periodically throughout registration, and usually not later than 10 days before classes begin.
Repeating a course
Students may not register in a course more than twice without permission of the appropriate dean or designate.
When a course is repeated, the GPA at UFV includes only the higher grade, but all attempts appear on the transcript.
Some programs limit the number of courses which can be repeated. Transferred courses are considered in the number of attempts.
Students are responsible for meeting attendance requirements specified by
instructors. At the first meeting of the course, instructors will specify
attendance requirements and the consequences of failing to meet them.
It is the student's responsibility to provide instructors with appropriate
supporting documentation if extenuating circumstances prevent completion of an
attendance requirement for a given course.
Students are also required to attend the first regular meeting of the classes
in which they are registered. Students who fail to attend the first regular
meeting of a class in which they are registered, and who do not notify the
instructor in advance, may be withdrawn from a course, at the discretion of the
Late entry
Once classes start, students may register only with the formal permission of
the instructor. A late registration fee of $20 per course (subject to change)
applies to registrations after the second week of classes for courses that run
the full semester length. Late entry will not be permitted after 30% of
the course is completed, except with the permission of the instructor and the
appropriate department head or director. See the current Registration dates for specific dates.
Graduate students should refer to the General Regulations for Graduate Studies section of the calendar.
Course withdrawal
Students may withdraw from a course at any time before approximately 75% of the course is completed through myUFV at http://my.ufv.ca, or through the Office of the Registrar.
Withdrawals are not normally permitted by telephone. Graduate students should refer to the General Regulations for Graduate Studies section of the calendar.
Withdrawal prior to the date on which 40% of the course is completed will not be recorded on the official transcript. Withdrawal after 40% of the course is completed will be shown on the transcript. A student who stops attending but does not properly withdraw from a course is given
a grade of NC (no credit), which is calculated as 0 in the grade point average.
A student may be permitted to withdraw after 75% of the course duration if the student can show that there were extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances are defined as unusual circumstances beyond the student's control, such as a serious illness, which make it impossible for the course to be completed. To pursue a late withdrawal, students must complete a late withdrawal form, available at
ufv.ca/admissions or from the Office of the Registrar. A rationale and supporting documentation must be provided. The request will then be forwarded to a committee consisting of the dean, department head, and instructor concerned. Approval requires the majority decision of the committee. A withdrawal, if granted, will be recorded on the official transcript.
Registration times and deadlines with respect to fees and course withdrawal
are published in the Registration Timetable. See the Office of the Registrar web page for details.
Students can register or change their registration to audit status anytime between the start of registration and the last day to add courses without department head permission, which is when 30% of the course is complete. (See exact date in Important Registration Dates for the semester or the Registration Timetable.) After that date, audit requests are not accepted.
It is the instructor's discretion to accept or refuse a request for audit, as it is not automatic. If approved, the instructor or designate should sign a "Permission to Register" form, which should then be presented to any Office of the Registrar. Students already registered in sections will be withdrawn as credit students and re-registered with audit status. Full fees are required to audit a course.
Students who are not granted permission to audit may choose to continue, or may withdraw prior to completion of 75% of the course.
An audit grade is not included in the calculation for the grade point average, but it is reported on the official transcript. A course being audited cannot be used as a co- or prerequisite for another course.
It is recommended that the student and instructor agree (preferably in writing) to the expectations for a successful auditing of the course. If the student does not meet the expectations set, the instructor will advise the Registrar so an appropriate notation may appear on the transcript.
Please refer to UFV's Course Audit policy (108) for more information.
Course challenge
Some UFV courses may be challenged for credit. This means that a student who can demonstrate mastery of course objectives may be granted credit without taking the course.
Course challenge is available to students who are currently registered in credit courses at UFV, or who have completed one or more credits at UFV within the past three academic years, and have been re-admitted to a UFV program. Course challenge is not permitted for courses previously failed, or for which credit has been obtained at UFV through transfer credit.
A student may challenge a course only once. Students require permission from the department or program head before they may register for a challenge.
Tuition fees will be reduced to 75% of the regular tuition fee. All other registration fees apply.
Courses challenged do not count towards UFV program residency requirements.
For additional information on Prior Learning Assessment
and Recognition (PLAR), please see that section of the calendar.
UFV measures the workload of a student by assigning units of credit to a course or program. A typical university studies or career course is three credits (three or four hours/week of instruction for 15 weeks) or four credits (five to seven hours/week of instruction for 15 weeks). In vocational programs, one credit is generally defined as the equivalent of one week of full-time study. In Continuing Studies courses, credits (when they are applicable) may be determined on the basis of one credit for every 30 hours of instruction.
Courseload — university courses
A full courseload is normally five courses per semester. Students are encouraged to enrol in not more than five courses per semester and may not enrol in more than twenty credits without permission of a dean. Some university-level programs, such as Engineering Transfer, require an overload.
Definition of a full-time student
UFV defines a full-time student as one who is enrolled in 60% or more of the full or standard course load; or has a documented permanent disability, which affects his/her ability to participate in full-time studies and is enrolled in 40% or more of a standard course load. A part-time student is a student enrolled in courses but who does not meet full-time requirements. A standard course load is 15 credits per term or 30 hours per week if credits are not assigned.
Please note that UFV's definition applies internally; however, external organizations and programs (e.g. scholarship and bursary programs, student loans, income tax credits, etc.) may have different requirements that must be met. Students should always check eligibility requirements as stated by the organization. See below for information about student loan eligibility and income tax education credits.
Students who are applying for a student loan should consult the Financial Aid
and Awards office for more information about the minimum course load required to qualify. A permanent disability is defined according to the
StudentAid BC General Information. Students should consult the Disability Services Centre for more information.
For Canadian income tax purposes, eligibility for the full-time education credit requires a minimum of 10 hours per week of class time at the post-secondary level (courses numbered 100 and above) and there are additional restrictions. For further information please see the Admissions website.
