I have nothing against the Miller's table I would not spend that kind of money for one. Youre paying for blue paint and a name. I know mine can take whatever it needs to do for me.
The square tube grid sounds like it is a cool ides also. Any table is better than working off of the floor.

A Positive Comment...
I know I'm going to get flamed on this reply but there are many of us who spend too much money on tools just because they are Snap On, Mac, Matco, Cornwell instead of saving some money and instead buying a Craftsman / Husky / or Kobalt that we could more than get by with!
I know many people consider a welding table as a personal project to design and fabricate on their own and show their own skills, but I am one of those who also like to be brand loyal as much as possible and found some of the design and features of the ArcStation, (especially the X-top clamp system!), and some of the other aspects a very nice system!
I was looking at the full 60" system and knew I would have to budget this as part of my shop renovation for 2010 and beyond. Buying this system would probably cost me more but it would also save me time! This is a factor for many people and why we pay people to mow our lawns and detail our cars!
So for me, I liked it and it saved me the time of coming up with a design, (that I've revised at least 20-25 times over the last year!), I saved time chasing down the materials, and I've saved time building an detailing the finished product.
At this point, I should state that I actually won one of the 30" X-table systems from the '09 SEMA drawing. Like many people, I entered but never thought I would win. Since I was actually interested in this system it became a Christmas present for me and a jump start to help me with getting the revised shop layout going!
I'm sure down the road, as I use the ArcStation more, I will end up modifying, adding or revising some aspects to my personal taste and needs. But for my needs, I do not see this being far from what my last design ideas were and I am very thankful to Andy and Nicole from Miller Electric for giving me the opportunity to win something I truly wanted!
Thank you Andy and Nicole!

Can someone who has an Arcstation tell me the dimensions of the slots? I am building a table and want to use the Miller xclamps, but need to know the width of the slot as well as the size of the hole in the end to feed the clamp through. I am getting the top cut so need the dimensions, and the local miller distributer will take a week to get the clamps in so I can't measure them..

I've got one welding table that's 1 1/2 inches thick and two feet by four feet. With the ribbing and legs it's over eight hundred pounds. When it's needed it's the greatest.
I also have another welding table that's only two feet high. Three quarter inch plate two foot in diameter. It's attached to a rear end stub. The base is the semi truck wheel and the brake drum supports the table top. It's the cat's meow when I"m needing to make something and be able to turn it while working.
I have a piece of floor rack that's attached to another semi truck wheel and axle stub. It's the greatest thing for using the plasma or cutting torch when you're wanting to move the material instead of walking around it.
I also have another welding table with wheels on one end so I can move it around without grabbing the tractor.
I'm excited about getting my new arcstation early next week. I used one in the Miller Welding Show Down and fell in love with it. It's not the end all table that you can do anything with anytime. But for the majority of our work if you to a wide spectrum of work the arcstation is as handy as a pocket on a shirt.
It's a great tool for the average guy who has some welding equipment in his garage and likes to make things on occasion. I recommend it for anyone looking for something like this and dealing with space and time.
One of the things I talked to Miller about on the arcstation was making a version for the portable welding rig. My number one welding table is my welding truck bed. I can see setting up an arcstation where I can set it up on the truck for the kinds of work where I need to hold and or brace somethings will I'm working on them.
I've used one and loved it. http://www.millerwelds.com/showdown/finalists/

The X slots and the clamps that go with them have been very handy. The arc station has been a good, sturdy table. I chose a Miller welding machine because they have a good reputation and their machines are made in the USA. When I received the arc station, it came in boxes that said "Made in China." I wish that I had known that before I bought the table. I saw a program on TV the other day about the horrible working conditions in China. I think it is worthwhile to try as hard as possible to buy products made in the USA.Mira Morse

I have one with the 60" top, tool box and side shelf. I love it! Welding is only a small hobby of mine. I don't have much free time and I did not want to spend it making a table. So with my son's help we put this together in 2 hours and away we go.

Madison Co., IN- Tuesday, November 13th, at 9:56 a.m., Indiana State Police responded to a four vehicle crash on I-69 at the 218.2 mm, approximately ½ mile south of the SR 38 exit that injured an Anderson man.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Bruce Haidle, 57, of Anderson was driving a 1998 International semi-tractor pulling two box trailers in the left lane of NB I-69 at the 218.2 mm. Both NB lanes were slow due to construction and traffic being diverted to the left lane.
According to the investigating officer, Trooper Nick Campbell, Haidle failed to negotiate the slowed traffic and ran into the rear of a passenger car which was shoved into the median. Haidle's vehicle then struck the rear of a semi-tanker truck which jack-knifed and struck the rear of another passenger car. The jack-knifed semi ruptured a saddle tank and spilled diesel fuel on the interstate.
Haidle was transported to St. John's Hospital with complaint of pain, cuts and bruises. The occupants of the other vehicles were not injured.
North bound I-69 was closed for approximately three hours while the crash was investigated and the wreckage cleared.
Haidle was issued a traffic ticket for speed too fast to avoid collision.
Investigating officers: Captain Bob Burke, Lieutenant Tom Dujmovich, Troopers Kyle West, Jeremy Woods, Al Willis, Dale Preston and Nick Campbell, Indiana State Police.
Assisting Agencies: Indiana Department of Transportation, Madison County Emergency Management Agency, Madison County Sheriff's Department, and Pendleton EMS.

This story was updated at 5:15 p.m. Friday, March 15, 2013.
In the face of sequestration and a complicated state tax case, Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett has proposed a $4.8 billion budget for fiscal 2014 that increases county government spending 3.9 percent while holding education funding to state mandated levels.
His budget continues his pledge to restore gradually deep cuts to public safety and libraries, and pays for those restorations through increased income tax revenue, increased property taxes and continuing current energy tax rates.
The budget proposal also holds Montgomery County Public Schools at state funding minimums, or $10 million below what the county Board of Education has requested.
"We are making what I call strategic adjustments in the budget," Leggett (D) said in an interview with The Gazette on Thursday. "The choices that we've made, I think, are wise, strategic positions."
Leggett officially released his budget to the County Council at 9 a.m. Friday and to the public an hour and a half later.
Montgomery County property owners can expect their monthly tax bills to go up about $6.67. Property taxes should generate $1.5 billion for the county in fiscal 2014.
Income tax revenue is expected to generate $1.2 billion and the energy tax $222.3 million, according to county revenue assumptions.
Councilman Philip M. Andrews was disappointed Leggett would not follow the council's 2010 pledge, albeit a broken one, to sunset the energy tax increases.
Those increases were to sunset June 30, 2012, but the council continued in the fiscal 2013 all but 10 percent of the nearly 60 percent hike imposed in 2010 to balance the fiscal 2011 budget.
Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg said in a statement the county "needs to keep its promise to eliminate the very large increase in 2010 to the County energy tax."
"At the very least, the County needs to continue making progress in phasing out the increase by reducing the energy tax on a yearly basis until the 2010 increase is eliminated," he wrote.
County spokesman Patrick Lacefield said Leggett never supported the sunset, imposed by the council as a condition of passing the increase, adding "hence he is not 'failing to meet a commitment.'"
Leggett said the county has begun to see signs of economic recovery but uncertainty at the federal level and potential effects of pending state litigation requires the county to remain prudent in its spending.
His spending proposal would continue investment increases for the funding of economic development projects in White Flint, White Oak Science Gateway and the Great Seneca Science Corridor as well as transit oriented development around Shady Grove, collectively projected to bring 100,000 new jobs and thousands of housing units to Montgomery.
But jobs will come first to county government.
After eliminating 1,254 jobs to help close $2.7 billion in prior budget gaps, Leggett has proposed restoring 128 positions in fiscal 2014, most in public safety and libraries.
In the interview, Leggett admitted his nearly 30 percent cut to libraries perhaps went too deep in past budgets, and his fiscal 2014 budget would continue efforts begun in the current plan to restore funding to libraries by restoring another 34 positions, expanding hours of operation and adding resources.
Council Vice President Craig Rice, the council's lead for libraries, said the extra funding Leggett has proposed for libraries is encouraging.
"I'm very happy to see the restoration of library hours and staffing for all of our libraries, so that's tremendous," he said.
Among the 40 new police positions he has proposed, 12 will be school resource officers, providing two more officers in each police district, he said. About 30 employees would be added to the county fire and rescue service.
For existing employees, Leggett's budget proposal would increase base pay for the first time in three years.
Freezing pay saved the county $224 million in the past four fiscal years but cost the average worker $30,000 of income, Leggett said.
His proposed package of pay increases for county employees will cost the county $31.6 million, adding $15 million to his fiscal 2014 budget.
Though his plan misses the school system's budget target for county contribution by $10 million, the school system budget would receive $55.8 million more. The state's maintenance of effort law requires counties to fund education at the same amount per pupil as the year before.
The Leggett budget meets the state funding minimum and provides more than 99 percent of the school system's $2.2 billion request. However, where the school board budgeted for $17 million from its fund balance, Leggett's budget reflects $27 million in carryover funds. Leggett said he felt that the school system would have the flexibility to find the other $10 million in its own funds.
If it came from the county, he said he would have been forced to reduce his proposed funding for libraries, public safety or other county department.
While Leggett said the county's economy is improving, it faces challenges from sequestration and the state tax case.
To prepare, Leggett said he has reduced income tax revenue estimates to cushion the county about $60 million should sequestration's mandated furloughs choke $500,000 in daily revenue.
A Maryland Court of Appeals ruling in a "double taxation" case could require the county to repay $72.5 million to taxpayers.
Overall, Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown said the budget is pretty much in line with what we would have expected.
Council members knew the county would have to do something to increase pay of employees but whether or not the council tweaks the edges of Leggett's proposal remains to be seen, specifically the energy tax.
But Rice said the council is starting its work from a very reasonable point.
"The less we have to do in terms of major deconstruction and reconstruction of the budget the better it is for all of us," he said.

Hey guys,
Here's a repair that came in this week. The lady was given this solid brass coffee table w/smoked glass from a friend. It got damaged in transit & her nephew thought he could fix it......duuuuhhhh. I saw this piece earlier in the summer when she took some furniture to my neighbors' furniture resto shop & asked if it could be fixed & "how much". My neighbor called me over to look at it & I gave her a rough quote......yup....the usual: "WHAT? HOW MUCH?".
Anyway, as it seems, this lady had friends to her home & one saw it & told her it was quite valuable & a shame it was in the condition it was. The lady found out it was worth over $500 & if fixed, probably more. She brought it in to my shop & I explained what had to be done & I only would do it the proper way or nothing. She said ok....fix it.
I had to re-melt the (2) welded joints w/O/A, looked to be stick welded, & separate. Then I straightened the entire lower assembly, prepped the joints with a small carbide grinder to have nice clean joints, & started doing each joint. I decided that silver-solder(60/40) would work well & the color would match nicely. When I finished, I carefully re-contoured all the joints to the original look & lightly sanded with 240 grit to smoothen & semi-polish. It came out quite nice & the lady was very happy. Here's some pics.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf

I wonder though, how much of the decline is based on actual declining ability, and how much is based on the small pool size. I suppose about the only way to know for sure, is to be able to wait until some of these people age, and get their numbers again in 20 years.
Some has to do with age. As with any sport as you age your not as strong. If it were different pro players would be playing in to their 50's. But also 20 years ago there were very few players that were monster throwers. Now there seems to be an endless parade of 400'+ throwers out there.
How many times have you heard a 15 year-old kid whining that he has hit a distance wall at 400'? For old timers like me it gets really aggravating when at best I could reach 300'.
But I have actually gotten better with longer drives. As I got older (I'm 47) If I would throw with the same force I did when I was younger my shoulder would get really sore. Now I rely less on power and more on the right mechanics of trowing a disc.
Now I can throw longer with better accuracy now than I could 10 years ago. I just wish I had learned the right mechanics 25 years ago.
Athletic ability clearly declines with age. But you can't conclude that "women would lose over 200 feet in 20 years". From age 20 to 40, there's likely very little loss. If someone only throws 275', they're not likely to be throwing 75' in 20 years.
Keep in mind that very few of the grandmasters started playing in our youth, so we didn't have the advantage that many younger plays have today.
Just have one phrase...................
The older I get,
The better I use to be.
I was being flip, when I wondered whether older women lose 200 ft in 20 years. I'm really talking about the maximums, and I completely agree that we're not comparing apples to apples. I expect the current long distance pros to completey blow these numbers out of the water in 20 years.
The reason I started this discussion, is because as an almost grandmaster female, I've been throwing with much younger women, and seeing them throw 250 feet or so. I can't even keep up with the beginners (most beginners I've seen tend to be much younger). I've been working really hard for two years, and have just worked myself up to almost 100 ft, but figured I should be throwing at least 200. By seeing those statistics, I think a more realistic expectation for my age is 150 ft. From 100, 150 seems possible, whereas 200 seems like Mount Everest. It's totally changed my perspective. I'm still really terrible, but maybe not abysmal :-).

Drive away with Little Green Cars (Created August 8, 2013)
Rest assured that Little Green Cars is no circus act. This indie rock band from Dublin, Ireland has charmed the pants off domestic and international fans alike, having toured the U.S. and the UK extensively.
The roots of this five-piece band -- fronted by the duo of Stevie Appleby and Faye O'Rourke -- actually go back to their former band, The Revolts, which was formed in the mid 2000s. By the time the band became Little Green Cars, it was showcasing dynamite percussion and strong vocal harmonies that have drawn comparisons to the likes of Mumford & Sons and The Maccabees. Not bad company, is it?
The official first single from the band, "The John Wayne," served as the appetizer to their debut album, "Absolute Zero." That project, 48 minutes crafted with the aid of seasoned producer Markus Davis, also produced two more singles in "Harper Lee" and "My Love Took Me Down to the River to Silence Me." The former was showcased on NBC's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" – an appearance that highlighted their ever-growing ambitions.
Now a quintet of 20-year-olds, Little Green Cars has crafted a musical narrative that given them a ton of momentum. Showcases caught the attention of media outlets like NPR and the New York Times, and the band went on to play the 2013 SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas and the Coachella music festival in California. They also recently performed at Lollapalooza, and the band will return to Chicago on October 19 to play at the Metro.

The Caretaker is James Kirby, who apart from this project is probably most famous for his work as V/Vm, and who has been releasing music since 1996 under several different monikers including "Leyland Kirby" and "The Stranger." His music is primarily sample based, often involving reworked versions of pop songs, but he is also known for his more industrial-sounding electronic music.
This track is taken from the 2008 album Persistent Repetition of Phrases, which took its inspiration from the haunted ballroom scene from The Shining. Kirby's music often deals with the experience of memory; his 2005 album was entitled Theoretically Pure Anterograde Amnesia, and his other works explore different elements of amnesia and dementia. Most recently, Kirby recorded the soundtrack to a documentary about German author WG Sebald, Patience (After Sebald), and his release of An Empty Bliss Beyond This World last year saw widespread critical acclaim.

X-Men: First Class (2011)
X-Men: First Class SynopsisX-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magnetos Brotherhood and Professor Xs X-Men.

Opinion: Mitt Romney Lie-O-Rama Tour Continues
Romney might say he won't restrict a woman's right to choose, but his message is clearly coded for his rightwing base: you do not have to worry about the Supreme Court. Relax, I'm with you, but I'm running for president for Pete's sake.
Opinion: Republicans Endorse Todd Akin As Senate Chances Slip Away
After Mitt Romney's 47% don't pay taxes remark, Conservative columnist Peggy Noonan dubbed the Romney campaign a "rolling calamity" for all its problems and continuing self-inflicted wounds. At this point, she might have to extend that label to Republican efforts to take the majority in the Senate as they flounder and flip flop.
Opinion: Romney and Ryan Are Real Life Versions Of GOP Caricatures Of Kerry and Gore
In an odd turn of events, the Republicans in Tampa nominated real life versions of their cartoon versions of Kerry and Gore. Republicans thought John Kerry should be criticized for changing positions. But Kerry is not in the same league as Romney who ran as a pro-choice candidate and promised to do more for gay rights than Ted Kennedy.
Opinion: The 'War On Women' Is Sexist Fiction
The whole concept of warring on women is totally sexist. The truth is that women are speaking for themselves, doing a damn good job of expressing their views quite clearly and eloquently, and they don't need the media speaking for them – especially the male-intense media of 2012.
Opinion: Akin Incident Shows Contrast Between The Republicans And Democrats
Republicans are kept accountable for their own misspeaks and actions. Unlike the Democrats' life jacket being tossed out to a sinking politician by the Party, when a Republican politician does the inexcusable, the Republican Party throws him an anchor – and that's how it should be.
Opinion: Akin's Position On Rape And Abortion Is The GOP Platform
The basic fact is that Romney, Ryan and Republican's are uncomfortable with a few of the words Congressman Akin used. They are not, however, uncomfortable with the policy position he was expressing. The record shows that they march in lockstep with Congressman Akin.
Opinion: Paul Ryan And The War on Women
If you like the GOP war on women, you are going to love Paul Ryan. After all, Ryan's record on women's health could easily be mistaken for one of W. Mitt Romney's primary opponents, Rick Santorum.
Opinion: GOP Shows True Priorities With War On Women
Instead of working on the economy the GOP has focused on denying women access to health care.

Every advance in memory storage devices presents a new marvel of just how much memory can be squeezed into very small spaces. Considering the potential of nanolasers being developed in Sakhrat Khizroev's lab at the University of California, Riverside, things are about to get a lot smaller.
As reported in the latest issue of Technology Review, Khizroev is leading a team exploring lasers so tiny that they point to a future where a 10-terabit hard drive is only one-inch square.
That is 50 times the data density of today's magnetic storage technology, a technology that has nearly reached its limit for continued miniaturization. In response, researchers have been looking for a new leap forward by combining light and magnetism to focus bits of data on much smaller areas on the disk. The $60 billion a year hard disk drive industry is investigating several new technologies, one of which requires precise nanolasers to help "write" data.
Khizroev, an associate professor of engineering at UCR, and colleagues at the University of Houston led by Professor Dmitri Litvinov, have for the first time achieved a nanolaser which can concentrate light as small as 30 nanometers. For many substances, that is the molecular level. Just as importantly, their nanolaser can focus 250 nanowatts of power, enough to assure effective storage of the information.
The next goal of the researchers is to refine the nanolaser to produce light beams as small as five or 10 nanometers. To achieve this they plan to improve the manufacture of their nanolasers by refining the precision of the focused gallium ion beams used for their fabrication. Khizroev's lab adapted this technology, commonly used for diagnostics in semiconductor manufacture, to cut the components of their lasers.
He credited the feasibility of this advanced nanomanufacturing on Professor Robert Haddon's unique nanofabrication facilities at UCR's Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering.
The implications of the ability to focus light at these scales are even more fantastic in the longer term. The use of photochromic proteins with nanolasers should help lead to nanocomputers and the ability to store still more data in smaller places, Khizroev said. Those proteins paired with nanolasers should also impact energy harvesting and a wide range of medical applications, he added.

1 1/2 pounds
skinless, boneless chicken breast meat
3/4 cup
white sugar
3/4 cup
soy sauce
3/4 cup
mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 tablespoon
grated fresh ginger
carrots, julienned
onions, thinly sliced
1 (14 ounce) can
shredded bamboo, drained
1/2 pound
fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup
trimmed and coarsely chopped watercress
1 (8 ounce) package
rice noodles, soaked and cut into 2 inch pieces
Delicious! Chicken Hekka is a local favorite here in Hawaii, so I was surprised to see a recipe here. This recipe is incredible, the flavors and textures combine very well to create a very tasty and comforting dish. I made only minimal changes: used chicken thighs instead of breasts, reduced the amount of sugar to about 1/3 cup (my Mirin was very sweet to begin with), and used about 4 big slices of ginger instead of grating it (left them in the pot the whole time.) Don't leave the Mirin out! Its flavor is an integral part of the recipe. And don't skimp on the watercress either, watercress always shrinks when you cook it. This recipe will be a permanent addition to my collection.
I thought this was just OK. I cut down the sugar, and added sugar snap peas and baby corn in addition to the veggies in the recipe. I did use the noodles as directed. I was expecting more of a 'stir fry', but I ended up with a ton of sauce -- I had to use a slotted spoon to plate up the dish, even after letting it reduce somewhat. Even with the noodles, my husband felt that this needed to be served with rice. The chicken flavor was OK, but it was far too much trouble to make for the results that I got.

This recipe has been revised. The original submission called for soaking the rice noodles, and this step was not included in the published recipe. Soak the noodles as directed on the package before adding them to the dish.
delish! we added major vegetables though- sugar snap peas, bean sprouts, zucchini, celery, whole spinach leaves, garlic, tons of button mushrooms sliced thick, etc. We also used a larger portion of ginger and just sliced it into chunks, so that we didn't have to do all the grating, squeezing, and picking out of fibers. Too much work! ginger is cheap! Dont forget to soak the noodles (bring water to a boil, remove from heat and add noodles, drain them when you're done with everything else.) We'll be making this again!!!
Very delicious. The taste reminds me of Yakisoba. In the future I would not add as much sugar as recommended. In addition to the veggies in the recipe, I added snow peas,chanterelle mushrooms and baby bok choy.
Following some of the recommendations I read, I added garlic to the ginger before browning. Also, I reduced the sugar by half. For vegetables I also added snow peas, bean sprouts and celery instead of bamboo shoots. We enjoyed the flavors, although I would like for the sauce to be a little thicker. I'm thinking next time I will try adding a little corn starch to thicken at end of cooking time. Also, instead of regular onion, I think I will add green onion for more color.
This is a easy and yummy dinner. I used shitake mushrooms (cause I love the flavor) and "Napa" cabbage, as I don't care for watercress. Before adding the shoyu (soy sauce) mixture, TASTE IT!!! If it's too sweet add a little water! Also if it's to "runny" for your taste add a little corn starch! This is super good with steaming hot, white sticky rice (japanese rice)!!! I think people who gave this a poor review are not used to asain food.
we loved this recipe.I did change it according to everyone advice. I cut the recipe to half for 2 of us and still leftovers. I used alot of fresh garlic,more ginger,added alot of vegetbles,zucchni,small brocoli bits,peapods,green onion & regular onion.I think iway add more spice to it and some hot pepper flakes next time. will make again.

Hello I have one of those 2 gauge argon smith regulators that come with the miller contractor kits.
When i'm off the pedal the flow gauge builds pressure where the needle completely wraps around. Hit the pedal and big blast of argon comes out, Needle holds steady at set flow while pedal is down then starts building while off.
Why is this happening?

Argon Regulator building pressure when not in use

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 91 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by benji So far so good Really have not had a chance to use it yet. One problem is that it came out of the package badly wrinkled/creased. The creases do not come out easily! August 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nat1Ref I Like It Jacket fits good, true to size. It feels lightweight but comfortable. I've worn it mostly in warm to mild weather, and it is a good, casual selection. I've rolled it up and crammed it into my carry-on bag, then when I reached my destination I shook it out and put it right back on. Maybe not the best way to treat it, but that's what happened and it came out ok. The only negative: the lapels do not stay folded like in the picture. When jacket is unbuttoned, they fall open. The buttons on the front of the coat have a small, clear button on the inside as extra backing. However, they reflect light and on the Navy jacket that I have, they really show up. They should have been a dark navy color instead so they would be camouflaged against the material of the jacket. October 26, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Walter Not enough secure pockets Like all travel jackets (not only the ones from Travel Smith) this jacket doesn't have enough secure interior pockets. (In fact, it has only one - the others are not secure). When you travel as a family with two kids, you have four passports, four tickets, four boarding passes, etc., not to mention other documents, credit cards, cash. Also, the jacket arrived very, very wrinkled. I worked on it with my clothes steamer for at least half an hour, and it looks relatively decent now, but I wouldn't pack it in a suitcase. Actually, I bought it because I thought I could wear it on trips and then also, when we get there, to places like fine restaurants, concert halls, even the opera. I hope some day TravelSmith will invent a jacket that combines casual chic with practicality. I decided to keep this one, although it's not what I was expecting. March 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Harry46 Great jacket Actually Travelsmith's description is pretty accurate. You can wear this as a sports jacket (although it would look pretty rustic with a tie) and you can wear it as an outdoor jacket (although the button front makes it not a warm as a zipper jacket). The various pockets hold a lot of stuff and it is way less dorky looking than a travel vest as a "wear on/ carry on." The cell phone pocket holds today's super-sized phones, but the hand warmer pockets are a bit shallow so it is best to put your keys in the patch pockets if you are going to be tossing the jacket around. The shipping wrinkles came right out with a few minutes in the drier. I have not had a chance to try putting it in the hotel bathroom while I took a shower but this should work also as it is 100% polyester. All in all, I am very pleased with this jacket. May 19, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ftbc Unsatisfactory The texture of the fabric is uneven. Even using the drawstring the jacket looks rather sloppy. Also, it looks like the coats worn by custodians. I returned it for a refund. July 15, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by williebegoode Great for travel; not a fashion statement The best that can be said for this jacket is that it is very good for travel and you won't stand out as a tourist--perhaps a Bosnian refugee, but not a tourist. You can wad it up in a ball, give it two shakes, and it's ready to hit the road again. The material is some kind of chemical mix with the advertised silky suede feel, but for the most part (for me) it was a handy vehicle for plenty of pockets; some of which had hidden zippers. It was just light enough for average outdoor temperature but did protect from the evening cool during the summer. After a 14-hour flight and you don't know what time it is (or even day), all I wanted was a secure place for my 'papers' that would get me through customs--coming and going. My travel jacket did a great job. This kind of jacket is a great alternative to a 'safari jacket' that advertises you as a tourist, ivory smuggler--or worse yet, a TV journalist. The "hidden" interior pull cord was never employed for a fit improvement, but I doubt it would have made much difference. This (let me repeat) is not a fashion statement--it's just a good summer weight jacket with lots of pockets and easy to maintain. Wash it up in the sink, hang it overnight, and it's all set. May 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JackBatt An essential part of my travel wardrobe I own three of the Men's Hybrid Travel Jackets, one in Navy,one in Tan, and my most recent on in Olive. They are absoultely great for travel. My Navy version is the oldest and has done the most treveling to Europe, South America and most recently to China. As a reseracher I have worn them to make formal presentations at National and International meetings and to go to places where coat and tie are required. They a a very practical item that is easy to back or to waer on a plane. The Men's Hybrid Travel Jacket is an essential part of my travel wordrobe. I don't leave home with out one. October 4, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by sawe Great comfortable jacket My husband bought this jacket nearly 10 years ago and wore it to extreme thinness. he ordered the same size (he's the same size) and it was too small so exchanged for next larger and it fits perfect like the old one. He loves to wear it on trips to Europe--sleeps in it and it looks great when he arrives. No wrinkles ever and has a great casual look with jeans! wonderful product March 26, 2010

One year ago McLaren Mercedes almost swept the boards at Albert Park: pole position, front row lock-out, first and third in the race, fastest race lap.
They also ended 2012 on a high when Jenson Button book-ended his season by winning in Brazil as he had in Melbourne.
So what are they doing outside the top 10 in the opening sessions of practice for the first race of 2013?
Team principal Martin Whitmarsh was refreshingly honest about Button and new teammate Sergio Perez and the position they all find themselves in after day one at Albert Park. Were they struggling, as it seemed?
"That's a very kind under-statement," said McLaren veteran Whitmarsh.
"One of the hardest days I can recall. We were lacking in overall grip, consistency, bit of understeer, poor ride – a very, very difficult day and one where we didn't go forward either during the course of the day."
Whitmarsh said it had been a conscious decision to go ahead with multiple changes to the car in building the MP4/28. "At the moment we don't fully understand how to get the best out of this car," he admitted.
"But that's a choice you make. It's a season that lasts between now and the end of November; we've got to be able to race throughout that period of time, developing the car – that's what we set out to do.
"Of course it's much more comfortable to start the season competitively and fight from there, but we've done both in our time. This feels pretty tough at the moment but we're a strong team and we have to find a way through.
"It's been a disappointing and tough day for the team."

Recipe by Kelly
"I have tried so many versions of glazed doughnuts, and this one finally came out perfect! Just like the ones at my favorite doughnut shop."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (.25 ounce) envelopes
active dry yeast
1/4 cup
warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 1/2 cups
lukewarm milk
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
1/3 cup
5 cups
all-purpose flour
1 quart
vegetable oil for frying
1/3 cup
2 cups
confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
4 tablespoons
hot water or as needed
This is a great recipe. I have followed it more than a dozen times and I have tried variations. Most of the failures reported here are yeast-bread related. This, of course, means that you must take a lot of care with the bread basics. As described in the recipe, proof your yeast in the warm water. Give it 5 minutes or more. If you do not see a good healthy foaming action, toss it and start over. Dough handling is key. This is a rich dough with milk, egg and shortening. It is stretchy and yes, sticky. You don't need to get stuck to it. When handling it, in the kneading and in the rolling and cutting, use flour to keep it manageable, but take care not to add so much flour that you change the ratio. I believe this recipe is correct. Some bakers reviewing here have noted the bread of the donut as being "not sweet enough". This yeast bread rises prior to frying and then gets a big lift when dropped in the oil. Do not increase the sugar. I have tested in steps all the way to a doubling of the sugar. The only effect is that the dough becomes heavy and the taste approaches that of a cake donut. The recipe is correct. For this donut you want the lightness and the lift. The sweetness is in the glaze. If you want it sweeter, top it with a heavier glaze. For those of you with a BREAD MAKER, try it. Put the ingredients in exactly as listed and run on a dough-only setting. Turn the dough out onto your surface. Do not knead again, the machine did that. Avoid a full punch down. Press and rol
I didn't like these at all they did not taste like donuts and they were not fluffy. I will not make these ever again

These were absolutely delicious! Not Krispy Kreme in texture, but I think they are as close as you can get at home and the taste was RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
*I saw where someone said they would scald their milk, I highly reccomend you NOT do that as it will kill your yeast. Anyone who knows yeast will automatically know that. You can't have your yeast mixed with anything warmer than lukewarm.
*If you don't have enough glaze, just thin it a little with some more water. I would not change a thing, including adding more sugar as some have recommended. If you have a really sweet tooth, okay, but the glaze makes them sweet enough for me and my family.
*I also saw where someone said they could get greasy if not eaten right away. To avoid your doughnuts absorbing the grease, simply make sure your grease is hot enough. I alway heat my oil for at least five minutes or so on medium high to ensure this and then turn it down to medium before cooking with it. NOTE: Use cooking oil with a high smoke point to avoid fires!
I will definitely make these again. Perhaps with cake flour next time and see if the texture is close to Krispy Kreme, but they are THE BEST homemade doughnut I have had to date.
I really liked this recipe, the donuts tasted very good. However, I omitted the half cup of warm water and sprinkled the yeast directly into the milk. Reducing the liquid allowed the dough to develope much better with less flour. To keep the donuts from "deflating" after they have risen, place them on a square of waxed paper that has been sprayed with Pam or cooking oil. When transferring to pan for frying, pick up waxed paper carefully by the edges and gently let the donut slide into the hot oil. Any attempt to move the donuts with a spatula resulted in the donut "falling" and having a heavy texture when cooked. Cook only light brown and turn, as any more cooking results in a dry donut. These were fun to make but a little labor intensive. The recipe makes GREAT bread rolls! JIMBO
These are a little time consuming but are worth the effort!! First of all, the recipe made almost double the amount stated, but that may have been due to my using a glass instead of a regular donut cutter, then a tiny round cookie cutter for the hole. I have never tasted KK donuts as I'm in Canada, but my b/f is from NY and when he tasted them the first thing he said is "they taste just like Krispy Kreme's". I never showed him the recipe or any reviews, or even told him they were supposed to taste like KK's. So I'm thinking they MUST taste a least a little bit like them if that's what someone says after taking just one bite. Anyway, whether they taste like KK's or not, the are EXCELLENT donuts. I had to make extra glaze because there just wasn't enough for the 30 donuts & 30 holes this recipe made. I added a small amount (approx 1/8 tsp) of maple extract to the glaze for the second half of the batch for a slightly different flavour. I also noticed that when I cooked them at 325 (as recommended by a previous reviewer) they came out a lighter colour and slightly more tender than cooking @ 350. But really, whatever temp you cook them at, you really can't go wrong. I've made this recipe 3X so far and I have yet to screw it up. I think the only way you could mess it up is if you have the yeast or the oil at the wrong temp....or maybe don't let the dough rise long enough. Other than that, this recipe is pretty fail proof...and probably the best donuts I've ever tasted.
Glaze doesn't have to be anything more than 10x sugar and a little milk and perhaps a splash of vanilla .. heat the mixture in the microwave til it crystallizes and it will stand the test of a day... for chocolate add the cocoa to the sugar first, mix then add milk til it reaches a nice soupy paste heat and use! I bake for a local bakery and make doughnuts every weekend for the farmers' markets trust me the glaze doesn't need to be complicated. BTW I dip the glazed doughnuts while wet into coconut and they are a big hit!!
I live in England and I was looking for a recipe similiar to a Krispy Kreme from the US or Tim Hortons in Canada, and this recipe is it. They are so good that they are to die for and they were gone as soon as I glazed them. One note fry them at about 325 at 350 I burned some of them.
I have never visited the doughnut shops these doughnuts are named after and now I'll never have to when I can produce such fabulous product right in my own home!
I saved some time by placing ALL ingredients at once in my mixer and let the dough hook do the kneading. First rising takes slightly less than an hour.
Glazing: I threaded the doughnuts onto chopsticks to drain, than placed on rack to cool.

What's that one book, movie or work of the human imagination that will make a thinking person think more deeply?
I still remember reading Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy at the age of 10, Jack Whyte's "A Dream of Eagles" septology at age 16, "God's Debris" by Scott Adams at age 19 and Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground" at age 20.
These works changed the way I looked at things, and there was simply no going back. They gave me the the opportunity to experience a vision of something awe-inspiring in scope for the first time, knowing that it was vastly larger than myself. I remember that magical feeling I experienced reading these works, and knowing that great things were in store for me just waiting to be discovered.
Very few things I've read or watched have been able to evoke that sense of wonder and amazement in me since. I'd like your help changing that.
I'm looking for suggestions of works - books, essays, movies, poems, art, speeches etc - that have helped you experience a similar sense of wonder and delight - the highest expressions of a thinking mind.
I'm open to anything: Works of human thought and reflection that are grand in scope and sweeping in their narrative. Nuggets of philosophical reflection, contemplation and spiritual rumination that have helped us understand ourselves and the (in)humanity of others with more clarity. Works that are cathartic, illuminating or inspiring. Really any product of the human mind that would make a thinking person think more deeply, cohesively and understand.
I'm hoping that together, we'll be able to create a new selection of curated works of the human imagination that others can bookmark, use and follow in turn.
I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks in advance for all your support.
Nov 13 2012: The best thing I know of is 'The Prophet' by Khalil Gibran.
Rachel Pool
Nov 12 2012: I'm not sure this is what you're after, but for me "that book" was Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". In an intelligent, but lighthearted way, it called to question the absurdities of the way we see and consider the universe...and ourselves. Or at least, it did for me. :)

greg dahlen
Nov 14 2012: I'm just curious, Rachel, and I hope you won't hear this as criticism because it's not, but why do you say you're not sure if this is what he's after? To me it seems like his question is pretty straightforward: What book would make a thinking person think more? If the book you think would make a thinking person think more is "Hitchhiker's Guide," then you've answered his question. Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but the way you answered you sound a little apologetic.
- +1
Truthfully, it's a wonderful question, and I think people should be confident enough to put whatever they think. If the book they think would make thinking people think more is "Pinocchio," or "Three Little Hens," then that's what they ought to put. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Nov 14 2012: Haha, not at all. I wasn't sure if the question was geared toward more "serious" literature, or scientific and political publications. I rarely read any of that. As a dreamer and an idealist, I read mostly fiction, and lighthearted fiction at that. I tend to shy away from things that don't speak to my soul. And very austere publications I avoid almost entirely. :)
Nov 15 2012: Oh yeah, I see. Are you afraid of being treated snobbishly? Well, if Hitchhiker's meant that much to you, it must have some depth to it, even if it seems light on the surface. I've never read it, what's it about? (i believe our thread has run out here, if you want to answer that you might have to answer me above, where I accidentally put another copy of my first question to you; or you can email me since i got my profile set up)
Also, if you like, check a couple of conversations i started and leave some comments, although they are somewhat practical questions one's called "No School" and the other is "Organic Food"

There is a wonderful little film fitting well into this request, .
"MindWalk", a theatrical lesson in Systems Theory.Nov 13 2012: '1984' by George Orwell; John Grisham's 'The Testament' (about a woman who would not abandon her calling for billions of dollars inheritance) and the TV series 'Terra Nova'Nov 12 2012: Prashanth, there are numerous books with nuggets of wisdom. I have found the following books to be philosophical, spiritual and thought provoking.
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
The story of my experiments with truth by M.K. Gandhi
A New Earth: Awakening to your life's purpose by Eckhart Tolle
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
I agree with Fritzie that 'who we are' ,'where we are in life' determines what we derive from a book.
Poetry can be inspiring and intriguing as well.
Fritzie -
Nov 11 2012: What works for each of us depends on "where we are" when we read the work. For example, work by Rachel Naomi Remens on ways of experiencing the end of life positively would not, probably, be a meaningful read for a twenty year old.

A book series I liked for my children when they were young was the Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising, which has a timeless plot about good and evil.
I have known several people who were terrifically inspired in shaping their own lives or understanding their lives by Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
A book that made an impression on me as a young teenager was Hermann Hesse's Magister Ludi.
For an adult who loves to learn but has not had a great opportunity to cultivate his/her critical thinking in a serious way, Edge published a book last year called This Will Make You Smarter. It's not a good title. It is a collection of very short essays by about 150 of the most insightful and path-breaking people alive today in which each picks and explains the one analytical concept he/she thinks would most powerfully improve a person's ability to think critically about a range of issues. You will find there people like Daniel Kahneman, Clay Shirky, Steven Pinker, Lisa Randall and others of that caliber.
An excellent source of curation of worthwhile reading, delivered free into the inboxes of the interested, is Brainpickings.

Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" (much better than "Practicing the Power of Now" or "A New Earth"!)
Watching Gordy Ohlinger play the banjo!Nov 30 2012: The movie "Magnolia" is a beautiful piece of art in my opinion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxcegktcxSMNov 18 2012: I recently wrote one called "The Merging of Two Worlds". Everyone who has read it tells me that it makes you think, and that its philosophy runs deep. It presents differences between scientific and religious thought that didn't seem connected and yet were in ways that few noticed. I had spiritual experiences stemming from childhood that led me into quantum physics. They were very much connected. I don't know how it compares to the books you read, but you might want to check it out.Nov 17 2012: In response to your delightfully wonderful question, I offer up things that made me think: so, in no particular order:
Publications and Articles:
Declaration of (American) Independence
Constitution of the United States
Emancipation Proclamation
writings by Abraham Lincoln
Books and short stories:
Aristotle's "Poetics" (and other practical philosophies)
Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality by Dr. Henry Cloud (while the writing itself isn't highly intellectual, the essence impacted me)
Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
1984 by George Orwell (mentioned previously)
the Old Testament of the Bible for a history lesson that we haven't learned
the New Testament of the Bible (sans Revelation) for a story of hope and courage
any book by Sir Ken Robinson (focus is on the need for a change in our education system)
Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
The Gospel According to RFK: Why It Matters Now
Tales from the Mississippi Delta by Dr. Endesha Ida Mae Holland
Doubt: A Parable by John Patrick Shanley
A Raisin in the Son by Lorraine Hansberry
Coyote on the Fence by Bruce Graham
A Passion of the Christ (yes, it has spiritual significance, but for a 'thinking man' it is so much more than mere religion)
Schindler's List
A Beautiful Mind
And The Band Played On (book to film regarding AIDS in the 80's)
on TV:
Discovery Health network: Amazing Families: the Kirtons (all six children with some degree of Autism)
Temple Grandin (HBO special, an "extra-ordinary" person who happens to have Autism)
and of course TED - in any formNov 13 2012: Well, one book that certainly changed me was Maasai Days, can't remember the author, a female, anyway. It really changed me, I moved from the suburb where I was living to an agricultural area and spent three years trying to get a job on a dairy farm. Changed my diet and started drinking huge amounts of milk. But I'm not sure if the book that changes one person will change anybody else, as what you bring to any book is the combination of everything you've done before, which is unique to you.
One piece of writing that might change you is your local noise ordinances. When I lived in Los Angeles, Chapter 11 of the L.A. municipal code was the Noise Regulations. It's really interesting to know what experts consider the reasonable amount of noise you should have to bear in your environment, in other words, what the laws say. Now I live in Glendale, CA, just north of Los Angeles, and I have several copies of the Glendale noise laws, which constitute one chapter of the Glendale Municipal Code.
As far as movies go, I probably watch more for entertainment than mental stimulation. Occasionally i'll watch a documentary to try to learn something, like i saw a good one on phil ochs, the folksinger. But wanting to learn something is not quite like wanting to be stimulated to think.Nov 13 2012: I will vote for Erich Fromm's "The Art of Loving".Nov 12 2012: When I came across Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami it had a profound effect on me and left me pondering post the last page... Other than that, I'd go with HHG2G trilogy, Plato's Republic, Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance... for a light but soulful read I'll go with the popularized Alchemist of Coelho...
Movies: Dogville by Lars for a good mental stir and Inception for someone who wants something commercial but thought-proving (in a way) as well eternal sunshine and little ms. sunshine.Nov 12 2012: Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. The book, not the movie. A saga of rugged individualism unfettered by government micromanagement. Capitalism and Free Enterprise reified.Nov 12 2012: Choose a good list, but that varies from person to person. What do you want to learn? As was noted earlier Gandhi is always good. Science and Sanity goes a number of places. The Brits are wise using Buzan and Debono with students. Taleb and Deming are good at telling people stuff that they don't want to think about. However, the greatest help in becoming a thinker is to have a NT in your Meyers-Briggs. Is that encouraging? Sadly no. REally the greatest model to us might be Winston Churchill who had Jones to take care of physics and other p;eople to do other things. One person can't cover all aspects that are important alone. To do what you need to do team Gopolan would need to read,study, and learn everything So I am advocating a think tank or graduate bull sessionNov 12 2012: I do not think it can be one book, movie or work. Thinking more deeply involves intellectual curiosity, environment, work ethic, and experiences. Being driven by fear, curiosity, passion, love, or power will provoke or force new thought.
Wikipedia is a great site. My recommendation is to look up some very general subjects like arts, science, thought, engineering, etc. and look at how the subjects are organized. Look at the Air Forces site on Critical thinking (http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/awc-thkg.htm), MIT's site for an open university (http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mechanical-Engineering/2-003JSpring-2007/LectureNotes/index.htm), and any number of other similar web sites.
Books that inspire thought? About any Science book, the Harvard classics, books that define the greatest problem facing mankind, books that ask you to question yourself. Books that tell you about neuroscience, psychiatry, or about the human body. The allows us to understand ourselves and what is biological and what is creative thought.
I think extreme experiences and variety of experiences, particularly if they are extreme, might be as influential as some recorded thought provoking devices. Certainly our first thoughts were about which plants could be eaten, which animals could be eaten, and how to survive.
As people have different combinations of experiences, they need to communicate this information to others, and learn form others, so communications media (TV, Internet, etc.) might be the most thought provoking influence.

I have good news.
I have implemented the new funcions.
At the beggining of the script, you'll find 2 variables names "DetectableWindows" and "NotDetectableWindows".
If you set any of them to some value, they wil be considered. I.E. if you set "DetectableWindows" to Open§Run§Save As§Save, it will only detect those windows. If you don't set it to anything, it will detect all windows but the ones on the "NotDetectableWindows" variable.
I've tested it a bit, and it looks like it's working quite well now, no strange behaviours anymore!
(BTW, if you want this to work with open/save dialogs, you might have to increase the detectable windows size)
[edit]When i mean the script has no problems, i mean it works very well if you set it some "DetectableWindows". As for the other problem, I was unnable to solve it, and have already posted at AHK's forum.[/edit]
