Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown (D) formally declared that he's running for governor Friday, promising to build on the achievements of the current administration and work to improve education, public health and the economy.
"Too many still can't find full-time employment, too many of our neighbors continue to struggle with foreclosure," Brown said at a kickoff event at Prince George's Community College in Largo.
"Marylanders don't expect their government to solve every problem, but they do want leaders who understand the problem," Brown said. "That's why I'm running for governor."
Brown, 51, an Iraq war veteran and former Prince George's County delegate, has served as lieutenant governor since Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley's first term began in 2007, and has taken the lead on the administration's effort to improve health care and prepare for the implementation of the federal Affordable Care Act.
"We now have over 350,000 new people enrolled in health care in Maryland because of the Anthony Brown," Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Dist. 27) of Chesapeake Beach, told the crowd of several hundred gathered at the college. Miller also cited Maryland's top-ranked public schools as a major achievement of the O'Malley-Brown administration.
Miller, whose district includes a portion of Prince George's, said the county had produced one governor, Oden Bowie, in the 19th century; another, Parris Glendening, in the 20th century; and that Brown would make a "damn fine" governor from the county in the 21st century.
U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Dist.4) also spoke in support of Brown, calling him "stand-up guy" dedicated to education, safety and health.
If elected, Brown would be Maryland's first lieutenant governor to move to the higher office as well as the state's first African-American governor.
Other potential Democratic candidates for the governor include Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, U.S. Rep. C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger (Dist. 2), Attorney General Douglas Gansler and Montgomery County Del. Heather Mizeur (Dist. 20). Potential Republican contenders include Harford County Executive David Craig, Anne Arundel County Del. Ronald George (Dist. 30), Frederick County Board of Commissioners President Blaine Young and Change Maryland Chairman Larry Hogan.
Brown has long been expected to make a run for the seat, and received a sudden endorsement from O'Malley's campaign organization in August, the same day Mizeur was reported to be considering a run.
Brown has a series of campaign events scheduled for the weekend, with announcements in Frederick, Silver Spring and Baltimore scheduled for Saturday. O'Malley is expected to join him in Baltimore.

Monday, May 14, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- UNC Greensboro freshman Scooter Michael pitched a complete game three-hitter and was helped by 20 hits from his offense in an 11-0 win against East Tennessee State in Southern Conference baseball action at Cardinal Park.
Every Spartan starter managed at least one hit and eight of the nine scored. UNCG smacked three home runs, including two from designated hitter Jesse Lavender (four RBIs). Leadoff hitter Doug Schutt went 4-5 with two runs scored and one RBI. Chris Mittendorf and Chris Cook also collected three hits.
Of the Bucs (21-30, 12-17 SoCon) three hits, second baseman Brandon Cross stroked two and Tim Turner had one.
UNCG (27-25, 17-11 SoCon) engineered two runs on two hits in the first. Schutt led off the game with a single and Chad Hayes followed with a walk. Schutt later scored on a fielders choice off the bat of Jesse Martin, and Hayes came home on an RBI groundout by Nick Lockhart. The Spartans loaded the bases in the second but Buc starter Donnie Sharp enduced a groundout to end the threat.
The visitors broke open the game with a five-run third. After a single and a strikeout, the Spartans strung together four consecutive hits. Lavender highlighted the frame with a three-run homer over the right field wall.
Lockhart scored on a double steal and the Spartans led 8-0 after four. Hayes hit a two-run shot in the seventh that scored Schutt who had doubled to begin the inning. Lavendar belted a solo shot in the eighth to increase the Spartans lead to 11-0.
Despite the loss, ETSU qualified for the Southern Conference Tournament because the College of Charleston lost at The Citadel.
The Bucs and Spartans will conclude the regular season tomorrow at 3 p.m.

After dealing with the death of a spouse, the last thing you consider is your nutrition. Your health may suffer, though, now that you are eating alone. What is it about being alone that makes it difficult to eat healthfully? And what are some ways you can make sure you get the nutrients that you need?
Adjusting to a new living situation after the death of a spouse may lead to poor nutrition. Eating alone poses many challenges to achieving a nutritionally sound diet. For one, food simply tastes better when you are enjoying it with someone you love. In our society, food is not just about sustenance, but also about the pleasurable experience of mealtime. When you have the luxury of enjoying someone's company at meals, mealtime becomes that much more pleasurable. When you suddenly find yourself eating alone, on the other hand, you may not enjoy your meals as much as you once did.
Another reason eating alone is difficult is that there is less incentive to cook. Perhaps you have spent years cooking well-rounded meals for your spouse and cooking for one is just not the same. Or maybe your spouse was in charge of the cooking and you do not know where to begin in the kitchen. Because of these new obstacles, many seniors end up swapping balanced meals for grazing and skipping meals.
Does it really make a difference whether you grab something out of the refrigerator or sit down for three meals a day? Yes, particularly as you get older. Healthy eating may reduce your risk of
certain conditions, like obesity,
type 2 diabetes,
heart disease,
cancer, and a number of other chronic diseases. And your risk for developing these diseases increases as you age.
A healthy diet also provides you with the energy and nutrients you need to stay healthy. Eating healthfully will not only help you ward off obesity and chronic disease, it may even help prevent
and keep your mind sharp.
To improve the nutritional quality of your diet, try some of these tips for healthy eating for older adults:
If following these tips feels out of reach, try to think of things you can do to make healthy eating more enjoyable and convenient. Here are some tips for eating well when you're alone:
Remember, eating a nutritionally-sound diet will help ward off disease and make your feel more energetic, happier, and healthier. When it comes to your diet, focus on yourself. Your friends and family will thank you.

How To Apply Foundation Like A Pro
They've been living in each other's pockets since fashion week, hanging out backstage at fashion shows and swapping clothes non-stop. And now, as if we need any further proof that Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora are the ultimate style mates (it's the new soul mates, people), the fashion friends have now exchanged initial necklaces by Daisy. Hmm, is this the grown up, A-list version of making each other friendship bracelets?
According to our sources at Daisy, while Cara got her hands a Halo 'C' necklace to match her Chinti And Parker sweater, she loved it so much she got her mate Rita an 'R' version. Then they swapped them! The model of the moment was seen at the launch of Karl Lagerfeld's collaboration with Melissa this week sporting Rita's necklace with a silver T-shirt and awesome ox blood-coloured skinnies. How cute is that? It's one step on from swapping tees (you'll remember Rita wore Cara's Queen Delevingne T-shirt at the Burberry show last month).
Want to get involved? We've found Cara and Rita's fave initial necklaces online and they are available to buy here from just £30. Get shopping for yourself and your best friends ladies!
See Cara and Rita's BFF love in the gallery below...

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman Small camera form, big camera features If you had told us a camera this size would feature a 24.3-megapixel sensor a year ago we would have laughed. We're dropping our jaws now. Sony's Alpha NEX-7 has arrived, with almost all the specs and features we love from its flagship DSLR cousin, the 'A77. This is the first hybrid camera to showcase a sensor anywhere near this pixel-dense; what this means for you is the power of a "big-dog" pro-level DSLR in a package that fits in the top of your daypack. And while the camera's capabilities are huge, there's nothing intimidating about this sleek hybrid you can set almost everything to automatic and let the powerful intelligent processing bring home vibrant, detailed pictures and video. More resolution, more details You wouldn't immediately suspect that there's a high-quality HD video camera behind the curtain. Sony has embraced the new AVCHD 2.0 standard, which means more data at 60 progressive frames per second. This makes for great motion fidelity and smooth slo-mo, and a video signal that's beefy enough to show all the fine detail no matter how much action fills the frame. Sports will shine, and fast-moving kids won't get blurry or blocky. There's a 2.3-million dot Organic LED electronic viewfinder built in, and a flash lives on-board as well. Three dials, two on the top and one on the back, can be assigned to control multiple functions for fast settings changes when conditions shift abruptly. And the camera shoots full 24.3-megapixel images at up to 10 frames per second, while keeping the ability to track focus. This camera does not come with a lens; you'll need to shop for one to start shooting great pictures and video. Street traveler Do you like the idea of a fully-featured camera you can slip into a handbag or a daypack? Is a small, lightweight camera that keeps full-time focus while shooting ultra high-resolution images and HD appealing? Some people are calling this a professional's "street camera" a camera that's got the quickness and versatility to be ready at a moment's notice, while working in close quarters and changing conditions. Who couldn't use that?

Try a mirrorless camera. These digital cameras combine the creative options of a DSLR with portability that's more like that of a point-and-shoot. Their automatic modes will help you take striking pictures from day one without having to be an expert. However, like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras have interchangeable lenses, and advanced control and processing. You can explore these features for even better results as you take time to learn more about the hobby. Cameras in this class have large image sensors for beautifully detailed pictures, but their mirrorless design means the camera bodies and matching lenses can be smaller, lighter, and more portable great for snapping memorable pics when you're on the move.

I bought 'open box' , and found myself with a well worn box with one original serial number, another on a stick-on label, and a third one on the camera itself. What's going on here? When I found the battery charger was one not made for US market and lacked a power cord in any case, I was prepared for a lemon 'grey market' camera that I would be sending right back. Well the camera itself was in perfect condition, and Crutchfield responded immediately by shipping the proper charger. Great service as always. I was attracted to this camera by the size, the large APC sized sensor, and the availability of Zeiss optics. I was concerned about lack of optical viewfinder, but found the eye level EVF quite good with some of the same advantages of the mirror- less live view LCD screen--it immediately shows the results of changes in camera settings. I was particularly impressed by options that allow quick magnified focus checks of autofocus, and manual fine tuning. The camera has enough options to satisfy the demands of a professional, but can still be operated as a simple point & shoot, or anything in between. After using Nikon DSLRs for many years, I found the menu structure and terminology unusual, and with a high learning curve if you want to work out of the auto modes. But with some time the controls become much more attractive and logical. The bottom line: I have come to love this little camera. With a Sony 35mm, and a Zeiss 16-70mm, I am getting great razor sharp photos. Pros: Size, high resolution APC sized sensor with 24MP, good high quality lens selection, excellent eye-level EVF built in. Capable of recording superb images. Comfortable in hand, and once learned, controls are easily accessed. Multiple options to accommodate differing photo needs from amateur to pro. Cons: Steep learning curve for options and controls. The pop-up flash is anemic so external flash necessary. Has the older atypical Sony hot shoe which has since changed. Depending on external flash may need adapter. Autofocus is quick for contrast type, but would be nice if next iteration had phase detection or combination as now beginning to appear. Was this review helpful? Yes No The good and the bad Written By da Brit, USA on Sunday, June 09, 2013 Before this camera I used (and still own) Konica Autoreflex, Minolta HTsi and SonyCybershot cameras. I have never had a relaibility or technical problem with any of these cameras (some are 30+ years old and well used). The Nex-7 has awesome size/weight profile for the resolution and shutter speed. One of the few cameras capable of "point and shoot" that also has a fully functional eyepiece, when will the others accept that LCD screens are useless in bright light or for quickly framing a shot. I love to do a point by point comparison with my freinds who have lugged more expensive and/or full size DSLRs along - they don't win many points! Oh, and by the way, all the AR and A mount lenses that I have from my Konica and Minolta cameras work (with adapters) with the Nex-7. I take this camera everywhere when I travel for business or pleasure. Pros: Price/weight/size for the pixels and speed. Ability to be a "point and shoot" and a serious compact SLR at the same time. The video capabilities are a bonus. My 4 year old grandson has taken excellent shots with this camera, and I have taken publication-worthy shots of van Gogh paintings. Cons: The menus are not intuitive - read the manual! CRITICAL - Pay Attention - Order and install an LCD screen protector before you use this camera. Don't get sucked into the Sony software - photoshop works fine. Was this review helpful? Yes No Sexy, Smart, Amazing, for the price. Written By TermiteScout, Butlerville, IN on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very much a novice photographer, but even I can appreciate the flexibility, and convenience of this camera's layout. The picture quality is on par with cameras WAY more expensive, and the style, you just can't stop looking at it and thinking, "This is what state of the art is all about." I have to say the only real downside to this camera is the limited selection of lenses at this point, but I'm still glad I bought it, it can only get better from here. Pros: Pixels, controls, image quality, design, price. Cons: Limited selection of lenses. Was this review helpful? Yes No The NEXt Level Written By JoeS, Cary, NC on Sunday, April 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ive owned an original NEX-5 for about a year now and it's served me well through various photo and video shoots. So I was very excited to find out about the next evolution NEX-7. It's been quite an experience in trying to get my hands on one due to its limited supply, and not so accommodating customer support from Sony Direct. Thanks to Crutchfield, I was able to snag one just before Easter. So far there are no disappointments. This camera is a gem. With significant shutter speeds and enhancements over the NEX- 5, this camera has powerful features all around. I can't wait to put this camera to full use.

Direct Manual Focus: After focusing automatically, you can make fine adjustments to the focus by turning the focusing ring. Manual Focus: You can adjust the focus manually by turning the focusing ring. AF (Auto focus) Mode: You can select between 2 modes: Single-Shot AF: The camera focuses and the focus is locked when you press the shutter button halfway down. Continuous AF: The camera continues to focus while the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down. AF (Auto focus) Area: You can select between 3 settings: Multi: The camera determines which of the 25 AF areas is used in focusing. When Face Detection is active, AF operates with priority on faces. Center: The camera uses the AF area located in the center area exclusively. Flexible Spot: You can choose a focus area from the 25 areas using the controller. Focus Lock: If a subject is off-center and outside of the AF area, you can lock the focus of the camera. AF Illuminator: When you press the shutter button halfway down a red illuminator is emitted until the focus is locked. Under dark lighting conditions or when you shoot a low contrast subject, the AF illuminator allows the camera to focus more easily on the subject. Drive Modes: The camera offers the following shooting modes: Single Shot: Default setting for standard picture taking--shoots one still image. Shooting Continuously: When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously at approximately 2.5 frames per second. Speed Priority Continuous: When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously at a maximum 10 frames per second. Self-Timer: You can set the camera to two different self-timers: 10 Second: After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released about 10 seconds later. This is convenient when the photographer wants to appear in a photo. 2 Second: After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released about 2 seconds later. This is convenient to reduce camera-shake. Self-timer Continuous: After you press the shutter button, the camera will continuously take 3 or 5 images after a 10-second pause. Exposure Bracket: The camera can shoot three continuous images with the exposures shifted automatically. This setting shoots images continuously with exposure value shifted by plus or minus 0.3 EV or 0.7 EV. Remote Commander: You can shoot using the Shutter and 2SEC buttons on the optional RMT-DSLR1 Wireless Remote Commander. Exposure Modes: The camera offers the following exposure modes: Intelligent Auto: The camera analyses the subject, and allows you to shoot with appropriate settings. It recognizes and automatically switches to Night Scene, Tripod Night Scene, Night Portrait, Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Spotlight, Low Brightness or Baby. Scene Selection: You can select an appropriate mode for the subject or the shooting conditions to allow you to shoot the image with a suitable setting for the subject: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset, Night Portrait, Night Scene, and Hand-held Twilight Anti Motion Blur: This mode is suitable for indoor shots without using the flash, to reduce subject blur. The camera combines six shots at high sensitivity into one still image. Sweep Panorama/3D Sweep Panorama: You can create a panoramic image from composed images. To shoot, pan the camera horizontally or vertically while holding down the shutter button. You can select from the following modes of panorama shooting: Sweep Panorama: Standard: Vertical--3872 x 2160; Horizontal--8192 x 1856 Wide: Vertical--5536 x 2160; Horizontal 12416 x 1856 3D Sweep Panorama: 16:9: Horizontal--1920 x 1080 Standard: Horizontal--4912 x 1080 Wide: Horizontal--7152 x 1080 Manual Exposure: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the exposure (shutter speed and aperture) manually. Shutter Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the shutter speed manually, letting the camera set the appropriate aperture. With a high shutter speed, the moving subject appears as if it is frozen on the image. With a slow shutter speed, the moving subject appears as if it were flowing. Aperture Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the aperture value manually, letting the camera set the appropriate shutter speed. This mode gives you greater control over the depth of field. Program Auto: This mode allows you to shoot with the exposure adjusted automatically (both the shutter speed and the aperture value), while keeping the custom settings for ISO sensitivity, Creative Style, D-Range optimizer, etc. Bulb (Long Exposure) Shooting: In this setting as long as the shutter button is pressed, the shutter remains open. You can shoot trails of light, such as fireworks. Picture Effects: The NEX-7 allows you to shoot photos with an effect filter to obtain various images. Available effects include: Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color, High Contrast Mono, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Mono, or Miniature. Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-5 EV in 1/3-step increments. AE Lock: You can fix the exposure before deciding on the composition when taking a picture. This is effective when the metering object and focusing object are different or when you want to shoot continuously while keep the same exposure value. Face Detection: When activated, the camera detects the faces of your subjects and adjusts the focus, flash exposure, and white balance settings automatically. You can also select the priority face to be focused on, or register the faces on which to automatically focus upon. Metering Mode: An advanced 1200-zone evaluative sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy in a wide range of lighting conditions. You can select from the following methods for measuring the brightness of a subject: Multi-pattern: Measures light on each area after dividing the total area into multiple areas and determines the proper exposure of the entire screen. Center-Weighted: While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this method measures the average brightness of the entire screen. Spot: This method measures light only in the spot metering circle in the center of the frame. White Balance: You can adjust the color tones according to the lighting conditions. You can choose from the following WB options: Auto WB: This mode adjusts the white balance automatically. Daylight: This mode adjusts for outdoors and sunlit subjects. Shade: This mode adjust for shady conditions on a clear day. Cloudy: This mode adjust for a cloudy sky. Incandescent: This mode adjusts for incandescent lighting. Fluorescent: This mode adjusts for fluorescent lighting with separate positions for Warm White, Cool White, Day White, and Daylight. Flash: This mode adjusts for flash conditions. Color Temperature: This mode adjusts the white balance depending upon the light source (color temperature). It achieves the effect of color compensation (CC) filters for photography. Custom: In a scene where the ambient light consists of multiple types of light sources, use of the custom white balance is recommended in order to accurately reproduce the whiteness. Creative Style: This camera is pre-programmed with image styles optimal for various scenes and purposes. For each setting, you can adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness. You can choose from the following settings: Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Clear, Deep, Light, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Autumn Leaves, Black & White, and Sepia. ISO Settings: ISO is a unit of measurement of sensitivity to light. The larger the number, the higher the sensitivity. The camera's ISO can be set manually or automatically at ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, or 16000. Flash: In a dark location, using the popup flash allows you to shoot the subject brightly, and it also helps prevent blurred photos due to camera shake. When shooting into the sun, the flash helps light a backlit subject. The camera also has an Auto-lock Accessory Shoe for attaching an external flash. The NEX-7 offers the following flash modes: Autoflash: In auto mode the flash automatically fires if it is dark or against light. Fill-Flash: In this mode the flash fires every time the shutter is released. Slow Sync: Slow sync shooting allows you to shoot a clear image of both the subject and the background by slowing the shutter speed. Rear Sync: In rear sync mode, the objects illuminated by other light sources are captured first, then the flash is fired right before the exposure is completed. Flash Off: The flash does not fire, even if the flash is raised. Noise Reduction: The camera offers Long Exposure and High ISO Noise Reduction (NR) to automatically reduce the grainy noise found in photos during long exposures or high ISO settings. Play And Print Functions Playback Options: You can view images on the LCD monitor with 3 options: with recording data displayed, without recording data, or histogram display. A histogram is the luminance distribution that shows how many pixels of a particular brightness exists in a picture. The histogram display of this camera shows the brightness on the horizontal axis (left side is black, right side is white) and the number of pixels on the vertical axis. Auto Review: After an image is recorded, you can have the camera automatically display it on the LCD monitor for two, five or 10 seconds. You can also turn off auto review. Image Rotation: Vertical shots can be rotated automatically so that they are displayed upright during playback. This can be done manually or automatically. Playback Screen: You can view your photos back as a single image on the LCD monitor, as an Index or as a Slide Show . During Index View mode, you can view 6 or 12 images at once. You can adjust the Slide Show mode interval from 1, 3, 5, 10, or 30 seconds.

I am looking for a welder for mobile heavy equipment repair. Mostly going to be plating booms and repairing buckets. I will most likely always be using stick running a 1/8 7018 rod but would still like to have the option to run a wire feeder for dumpster repairs just to save some time. So far I'm looking at a 1989 miller big40g gas job with 1600 hours($3500) and a 2001 Miller 55d with supposedly 825 hours on it ($3250). What do you guys think of these power sources which would be better for me and what other set-ups would you see as ideal thanks in advance for any advice

Heavy Equipmet Repair
spend another 1,000.00 and buy a Trail Blazer that has a 3 year warrante.
If you plan on welding heavy equipment with 1/8" 7018 you wont keep your customers very long.
You need to get set up with a suitcase feeder to have the ability to run mig.
You might think that you need one of the real big welders but dont be fooled by size, The small Trail Blazer will out perform the big machines with the exception to Air arc capabilities where you should use 3/16" carbon and the Big 50 and the 55D can run a 1/4" carbon.
If you Truly work on strictly heavy equipment day after day you would then want to go with a big machine but because you mentioned dumpser repair leads me to beleive that you also do general repair.
I bought a Miller big 40 with the CV option back in 1989 and my distributor never could get it to run wire so it was nothing more than a glorified stick welder and a scratch start tig.
The price for those used machines are way to high in my opinion, They should be closer to $ 1,000.00 - $ 1,200.00

I didn't know they still made the 55D in 2001.
The old 55d Perkins machines were a good tough machine, and excellent for wire.
I still have one that we keep for a spare.Jeff

trailblazer or 305g
I do this for a living, and own my own company. I run a tb275, have had a 302. Plenty of welder
. Buy a wire feeder, most customers will not pay for stick welding when wire is 40 percent faster. Also other reason i run a trailblazer is weight. My f550 weights about 17k. Put an engine in it, now your at 19500. Simply cant hold a welder that big, also overkill for running power tools.

J. Hall, I've been told by some of my older buddies that the old 55s were the best or only wire machines back in the day.
However, I diddn't mention that because I thought it was alot of money for that old of a machine and I personally have never run one so I dont know how good they really are compared to the new machines.
Tryagn5, I'm guessing you have a crane and compressor for the weight you mentioned because thats exactly what my 550 weighs plus or minus a few hundred.

Trailblazer 55d
I have heavy equipment and do all my own welding. I have a Trailblazer 302 and a Trailblazer 55d. The 302 is good for wire up to 1/16. When I'm welding heavy stuff i use an LN-22 wire feeder and run 5/64 NR 232 or NR 203ni wire. I like the NR 203ni because it tends to flex a little more. NR232 is easier to run in all positions but if you have never used it before I would have someone show you how to run it. My opinion is that if you are focusing on only heavy equipment the Trailblazer 55d is the way to go

A Lincoln Vantage is pretty hard hard to beat in that environment in my opinion.
There is an way overabundance of aux power for whatever reason you need. The ability to run large rods, large wires. The inductance control in wire mode makes life a lot happier for the guy holding the gun and saves a lot of cleanup time.
They're pretty tight on fuel use. Wire to stick is a quick change over. Gouging is a piece of cake.
1/8" LoHi is mandatory on some factory repair or modification procedures involving booms, but in run of the mill equipment repairs it'll just put you out of business when someone comes along making welds with a high deposition wire or big honky rods, = much less cost to the owner.
Used ones are pretty affordable. A remote gives you amperage control in stick, and inductance/pinch control in wire. All you need at the site of the weld.
If I was only welding on equipment and couldn't swing the price for a decent used Vantage I'd find a old SA (with wire feed module) or (mo better) SAE 400 and let er rip. Those old 400's run an air arc better than anything on the market today. They are absolute big bad horses and will put out over 600 amps on a load bank. Parts & service available anywhere in the civilized world.
All of that assumes day in day out hard use. If it's a part time machine you can live with a lot less. And have a lot more options in older machines.
JSome days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.
