This is a sword i made for a good friend a couple years ago. It's one of the few i've taken pictures of most of the process of making it. Usually i just zone out and go at it. This sword took me about a week of working late nights after my day job to make. There are many different ways to make swords, this will show you how i made This one.
The process of stock removal in blade making is more modern. With the right materials these blades can hold up pretty well, but the ones i make are mainly for art and decoration, tho. they will hold up to some abuse and are able to be handled. The quality of your sword all depends on the materials you use, the design you make, and the time your willing to put into it.
I've been building on my sword making skills here and there since i was younger. I started out with a hack saw and a file. One day I'd like to make my own forge and actually Forge swords, but for now, this is my method.
Step 1: Safety, Materials and Tools
Before you begin any project remember to protect yourself. Wear Eye Protection, Wear Gloves, and Wear Hearing Protection with loud tools. When welding make sure you use a good welding helmet and thick leather welding gloves, and ear plugs arn't a bad idea, hot sparks in the ear really hurt. Long sleeves or a welding jacket are also a good idea.
More Safety!!!
This method uses grinders, a welder and deals alot with really HOT metal. Be sure to be AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. Work in a ventillated area. Make sure there is nothing flamable in the area your working in. sparks will fly everywhere and anywhere. Keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case. Also a bucket of water helps to cool pieces your working on because if your welding it, or grinding it, It will be HOT. use pliers or thick leather gloves to pick up pieces that are hot and cool them in water if you need to handle them.
Materials, most of which are pictured below, include:
-1 - 2" x 1/4" x 3' steel bar -( for the blade)
-1 section of 1" x 1/2" steel bar -( for the crossguard)
-1 section of 1/2" round steel stock -(for the claws on the pommel)
-1 1 1/2" round x 1 1'2"long section of round steel bar -( for pommel)
-1 large nut, a little smaller that a trailor hitch ball nut -(for pommel)
-1 old claw foot glass insert ( could probably use a marble or something- (for pommel)
-1 piece of aluminum tubing/pipe, that the glass will fit tightly in, and will fit tightly into the nut used for pommel.
-1 piece of hard wood for the grips of handle.
-2 or 3 small machine screws and nuts for countersinking through wood grips to metal handle part of blade.
- vinyl or leather for wraping the handle.
-quality wire to wrap on handle.
Your materials may vary depending on your design. This is just basicly what i used.
I use a wide variety of air, electric, and hand tools. The most expensive tool you could need in this project is a Mig welder. Your project can be as elaborate or simple as you want depending on your design, budget, and what you have to work with.
Here are some of the tools I used in this project:
- workbench with a vice.
- 4 1/2" electric grinder with cutoff wheel, grinder wheel, and sanding disc.
- air angle grinder with 36 - 80 grit discs.
- air dual action sander with 80 - 400 grit paper.
- die grinder with varying deburring bits.
- drill and drill bits.
- Mig welder.
- Files varying in size, shape and, courseness as needed.
- hammer, and punch chisel set.
- bench grinder.
- sand paper varying from 80 - 800 grit. and a backing (sanding) block.
- polishing wheel and several courseness of rouge.
- Dremmel with small cutoff wheels, small deburring bits, and pollishing bits for small hard to get areas.
Other common small tools may be usefull like pliers or vicegrips.
looks really nice! I'm just wondering, hows the balance? because that pommel looks way too small to counter that big a blade
The Japanese used high carbon steels, about 1.8 - 2.00%carbon. They covered the blade with clay and then exposed the edge. When the sword was quenched it hardened the cutting edge while the main section remained tough due to cooling slower.
The Damascus blade relied on controlled cooling by plunging the red hot steel, that matched the colour of the setting sun, through the body of a Nubian slave.
English blades were stretched and doubled over then hammer rewelded a few times to give the strength of wrought iron.
And so on from using the urine of a red headed boy to quench the steel to using the urine of a goat fed only on ferns.
Unfortunately your's seem to be just shaped out of any old steel, with no attempt to turn the pretty steel thing into a real sword..
Not withstanding - they are well fashioned and look good.
There are multiple styles of Japanese swords, but most of them contained about 50% plain Iron, and 50% steel(known as tamahagane). The "legendary" folding/welding technique was meant to homogenize the Iron and Steel, giving the swords the edge holding capabilities of Steel and the flexibility and toughness of Iron. Also some used a core of Iron with steel plates forge welded along the outside of the blade to make the cutting edges.
Damascus blades get their characteristics from their steel as well. They were made from what is now known as Wootz Steel, which again is a combination of steel and iron. Also there is no evidence of quenching by driving a sword through a slave, and for good reason. It would ruin the blade. Also, slaves were much too expensive to do that with.
Now as for English blades, they primarily used blister steel, which is of an inferior quality from Wootz steel. They also would combine the blister steel with plain Iron to add flexibility and toughness to the blades, and would fold, or twist or both to combine the two. Also while it's probably possible to get an ok quench from urine, it still wouldn't be as good as plain water or oil. Most likely the urine was used as an etchant, due to ammonia content.
Good advice! and thanks for the compliment.

The poor, transformed into purchasers, will do a great deal on their own to alter housing decay. Negroes, who have a double disability, will have a greater effect on discrimination when they have the additional weapon of cash to use in their struggle."
With the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision that marked the beginning of the end of racial apartheid in America, minority Americans still have not achieved parity in housing or wealth.
Dr. King was arguing that poverty had to be abolished first before there could be parity in housing. And of course, to a great extent he is correct: families need a decent income and some money in the bank to get a mortgage.
But we at Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE), the nations largest source of home mortgage funds, also stand for the converse proposition: If we can bend the housing finance system to transform the poor into home purchasers, if we can help underserved families apply the income and savings they do have, then we can get more minority families into homes -- and they can start to build equity wealth.
Today, while the U.S. homeownership rate has reached an all-time high of 68 percent, and 75 percent for White Americans, only 49 percent of minorities own their homes. If there were racial parity in homeownership, we calculate that three million more African American families would own their homes -- and would have $760 billion more in home equity wealth. For example, a $100,000 home purchased in 1990 that appreciated the national average of 4-5 percent per year would now be worth $172,000 -- yielding a $72,000 gain in equity wealth, tax free.
To do our part to close the racial gaps in homeownership and wealth, Fannie Mae has just expanded our American Dream Commitment plan. Under this plan, launched in 2000, we pledged to provide $2 trillion in housing capital for 18 million minority and underserved families by the end of the decade. Since then, following three extraordinary years for the housing industry, we have already hit the $2 trillion mark. This is on top of the $1 trillion we provided to 10 million underserved families from 1994 to 2000.
Now Fannie Mae is renewing and deepening our American Dream Commitment plan, starting with an emphasis on first-time homebuyers. Fannie Mae will create 6 million first-time homeowners (including 1.8 million minority homeowners) over the next ten years, and help boost the minority homeownership rate to 55 percent. We are not satisfied with 55 percent; ultimately our goal is to erase the racial gap in homeownership.
The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies has projected that it would take until the year 2020 for the minority homeownership rate to reach 54.4 percent. We are going take it farther six years earlier.
Over the past ten years, the $3 trillion in commitments Fannie Mae has made and met have transformed us into a company where underserved families are the core of our business and our future. Now that we have the capital, the tools and a wide range of committed housing partners, Fannie Mae is pushing to do more with bold ideas and big plans to really move the minority homeownership rate.
At Fannie Mae, we have a dream too -- that all Americans will have equal access to the American Dream of homeownership. By striving for our dream, we can help to achieve Dr. Kings as well.
Franklin D. Raines is Chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Alex Presley beat out an infield single in the 10th inning to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
In the 10th with Joe Blanton (0-1) on the mound, Rod Barajas led off with a double off the top of the wall in center. Michael McKenry then took the base for Barajas and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from Clint Barmes. After Josh Harrison was hit by a pitch, Jose Tabata popped out to second.
Presley then hit a slow grounder that Jimmy Rollins fielded, but Presley beat out the throw to first and McKenry crossed the plate for the winning run.
"I knew it wasn't hit well. He was kind of moving with the swing," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Presley's hit.
The player agreed.
"I hit it just bad enough," said Presley.
Yamaico Navarro scored the other run of the game for the Pirates on a wild pitch in the sixth inning while Presley had two hits in the win. Jeff Karstens went six innings in the start and gave up just one run on five hits. Juan Cruz (1-0) escaped a 10th-inning jam to get the win.
Hunter Pence singled home a run in the first inning while Shane Victorino and Placido Polanco each added two hits for the Phillies. Cliff Lee gave up just one run on two hits with two walks and four strikeouts over six innings in the start.
"I felt good the whole time, but they fouled off a lot of pitches," said Lee. "They made me throw a lot of pitches -- a lot of foul balls, a lot of deep counts."
The Phillies grabbed the lead in the first inning. Victorino and Polanco started the game with consecutive singles and Rollins moved them up a base with a sacrifice bunt. Pence then hit a single up the middle that second baseman Neil Walker grabbed, but he didn't have a play and Victorino scored for a 1-0 lead.
Lee retired the Pirates in order in the third, fourth and fifth innings, but got into trouble in the sixth. With one out, Navarro walked and moved to second on a Jose Tabata single. Presley then hit into a fielder's choice that saw Navarro take third. With Andrew McCutchen at the plate, a wild pitch from Lee allowed Navarro to take the plate and tie the game.
The top of the 10th saw Polanco and Rollins hit two-out singles, but Pence struck out to end the frame.
Vance Worley takes the mound for Philadelphia in Sunday's series finale and will be opposed by James McDonald for the Pirates...Both teams have scored a total of two runs in the set...The Phillies left nine men on base.

So yeah, Charles and Bite, I write in comparison to all of your collective experiences from a standpoint of ignorance.
I also write from a standpoint of hope, just like I still hope that you will come to another set of favorable terms with another animation-centric organization, ASIFA!
As far as I'm concerned, hope springs eternal and that's why I keep coming back to this topic, that's why I keep writing. I keep hoping and doing what I can. I think if this topic goes on long enough, more animation guys, maybe Guild guys--I dunno--will bring more truths to light, and that's when the mending process will begin. Note that I didn't say we'll be singing kumbaya or even completely be good with each other from that point on--it's that we'll be less aggro to each other, and that in itself, to me, makes this a worthy enough endeavor.
Like I wrote in my response to Bite on the 19th, "As time goes on, things will come to light and we'll understand and wise up." My belief in this is unshakable.
I want to repeat, there are better alternatives, some of which Bite already touched upon, so I won't rewrite it here. But I'm saying for this particular situation, as Charles said, as long as the Guild functions like a Union, it's kinda is what it is. I kinda doubt the Guild, even at what it's charging, is making much of a profit (like, corporate-sized), but I don't adjust their accounting books so I can't speak on that.
Your past relationships and interactions have set the stage for the state of your current ones, Charles, and that's understandable. I don't know, as you said, the whole story as you have lived it. It is fairly well-documented, though. I can only infer based on the accessible and available evidence, and of course stories orally told by you, Bite and other key surviving players.
If you didn't speak out, Charles, things would never have changed to the extent they have. And that is what it really means to be strong and independent.
One more thing. I see Bite also being more moderate than in the past. Bite, something's working here. That's killer (for lack of a better term). At first, I couldn't believe what I was reading--
MAYBE and I mean, maybe at one point it was needed..but everything I hear and everything I see are always two different things about the good in the industry.
The moment I read that, I almost saw you coming over to what I was feeling Bite. That's boss, dude. Your above quote got me thinking, "Now if only Bite could see the things I was imagining, based on what's happening now, maybe he'd get why I was so intent on believing in the feasibility of a civil co-existence among pro-and-not-so-pro-Guild artists."
But again, Bite, I'm really happy you nearly got there. That alone proved me wrong. Until now, I couldn't imagine, given your controversial nature (remember, last year I actually worried out loud your employment prospects, and wrote as much--funny as hell--still I worry) you'd give that much of an inch on this subject. But first some of your posts above, and then the above quote . . . hmmmmmmmmm . . .
I guess, then, this is as it should be. If the Guild continues to go China on you, Charles, by castigating you merely for speaking your mind, then yeah I agree--preach on! But even SteveK said in a post that the Guild has been called way worse names than you could ever call them, so it's actually kinda confusing as to how they would take anything you would say the wrong way.
Ah, the Guild holiday parties! Didn't attend one myself, but looked at all of those postings you put on the old forum. What a festive environment. Charles, you're actually helping me out by reposting this stuff.
Kinda reminded of what Skynet always said about the power of positive spirits and the way the universe plays a role in those dynamics. If you will something with all your force into being, eventually it comes to be. That skynet, I always knew he was onto something.

Cinnabar has been my signature fragrance since it was introduced in 1978. A man once came up to me in a store and said "You're wearing Cinnabar. Don't you know it drives men crazy?" Now that it is not as popular, I feel it makes me stand out because not many still wear it. I hope it's never discontinued. I too wish the powder and lotion were still available.

A special scent for a special woman! This perfume is a heated and warm scent with the warmth of summer and sensuality. I feel like a beautiful and sensuous woman when I wear this beautiful scent. Last long and use sparingly for day use. I spray on a cottonball and put on pulse points and then stick the cottonball in your bra. You will smell and feel fantastic all day and night. Enjoy!

i love Cinnabar...would like the dusting powder too. It is considered an evening wear or romantic perfume because of its spicy overtones but some women can carry it off as an any occasion all day fragrance. A little goes a long way and stays fragrant for hours.

Most people agree that Aspen is Vail's glitzier neighbor (though residents of the two cities argue over which city is the more pretentious). Aspen residents take pride in the fact that Aspen was a town before it was a ski destination, whereas Vail was built as a ski resort in the 1960s. But nowadays, little of the quaint mining town that Aspen once was remains. Sure, streets are charming and it has that small-town feel, but now high-end shops such as Prada, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton line the streets. The dining options are equally chichi, with numerous gourmet restaurants frequented by a glamorous crowd. Celebrity sightings are normal, particularly during the winter peak season, from November to March.
Aspen's Rocky Mountain setting is picturesque, and there are four mountains catering to all levels of skiers. One lift ticket grants access to all four mountains, although only top-notch skiiers should try their hand, er, ski, at Aspen Mountain. Those who do not plan to ski day-in, day-out have plenty of other options, such as shopping -- and even dog-sledding! The summer months are less crowded, but the warm weather still draws visitors looking to fish, hike, golf, and check out the popular summer music festival.
Peak season for Aspen is November to March, and hotels can get pretty packed. Many hotels in this glamorous resort town are expensive, although they offer slightly reduced rates in the summer and heavily reduced rates in the fall and spring. If they're open, that is -- many hotels close during fall and spring's off-peak seasons. Most hotels are clustered around the bases of the four mountains. For those looking for a more relaxed vibe, Snowmass Village is slightly more laid-back and family-friendly.

A Silver Spring company is looking to build the county's first net zero facility, a building that would produce enough energy to sustain itself annually.
United Therapeutics —a biotechnology company that works on the development and commercialization of unique medical products — is expanding its campus with the new facility on the corner of Spring Street and Colesville Road in downtown Silver Spring. The building at 1000 Spring Street will have solar panels, a green roof and special placement of windows to allow for natural light and cross breezes to push hot air out of the facility, among other environmentally sustainable features, according to a presentation the design team gave to the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board on July 8.
1000 Spring Street is currently the site of an old parking garage. The proposed building will be six stories high with 122,000 square feet of office, laboratory and retail space and 152 parking spaces.
Paul Mahon, executive vice president for United Therapeutics Corporation, said he hopes demolition and construction will start in 2015 with a 20- to 24-month construction period, assuming approvals and permits go through the county's planning process. Mahon also said this is the last building planned for the campus at this time, though he would not rule out projects in the future.
Mahon said the company has not yet determined an estimated cost for the building.
The net zero design ensures that all of the energy used by the building over the course of the year will be provided by renewable energy generated within the facility. The building will be connected to the energy grid to provide energy during peak times, Mahon said, though surpluses in on-site energy generation during off-peak times are sold back to the utility with the goal of netting out zero energy on an annual basis.
"The net zero approach is an environmentally and socially responsible decision for a company like ours and it also achieves our twin core values of innovation and sustainability which are instilled across United Therapeutics," Mahon said in an email.
The building will be an office, virtual laboratory and retail space, which he said has provided some difficulty in the design process. He said the company is looking for tenants for the retail space who also plan to have a net zero approach to their business to keep with the philosophy of the company and the new building. In addition, temperature changes and humidity in the area will provide challenges to the design, Mahon said.

UKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. — She was never a runner, and when she did run, it was during mandatory physical training sessions. One day someone challenged and inspired her to run more than she ever imagined.
The moment Airman 1st Class Kristina Sanford, 607th Air Control Squadron radio frequency transmissions systems technician, crossed the finish line at the OC Marathon, in Orange County, Calif., thoughts of what got her there began passing through her mind.
It all started last October when Lt. Col. Sean Slaughter, 607th ACS commander, announced his challenge to the 607th ACS Airmen to run the Arizona Integrated Medical Services half marathon.
"When I heard about the half marathon I knew it was something I wanted to do," Sanford said. "I wanted to be one of the few who accomplished something so physically demanding."
Initially there were about 20 out of 150 Airmen interested, but in the end only 14 committed to going through with the training.
"I provided the Airmen with a training plan, which outlined daily running mileage along with other workouts that build strength and speed," Slaughter said. "I also gave them academics on hydration, nutrition and correct equipment to use while running long distance."
For Sanford, having the training schedule helped her keep her goals in sight. She worked around her work schedule to make time to run five days a week, resting Mondays and Fridays. Her runs ranged from six to 12 miles depending on where she was in the training.
"It was nice because my roommate trained with me the whole time," Sanford said. "We kept each other accountable and stuck with what Lt. Col. Slaughter taught us."
After months of hard work and dedication, Sanford was ready for the half marathon that began in Surprise and ended at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
"When I began running I was nervous, but I just kept telling myself that I have to prove to myself and to others in my squadron that I can do this," she said.
Though it was the longest run she had ever endured, she finished the run in 2 hours and 12 minutes. Following the IMS half marathon, Sanford despised the sheer thought of running, but now she embraced it.
"Once I finished the half marathon I knew if I could do that I could complete a full marathon," she said. "It also helped that I had a commander who believed in me and made the time to educate us on what we had to do to accomplish a marathon whether it be a half or full marathon."
Sanford began training for the OC marathon. She used the same concept she had learned from Slaughter, only having to double the amount of miles ran per day. Some days were longer than others and depending on the day her runs varied from 12 to 22 miles.
"I remember running four hours straight on a perimeter road for 22 miles," she said. "It was painful, but I knew it would be worth it once I completed the marathon."
Though the journey was hard fought, Sanford proudly completed her first full marathon May 5 finishing in four hours and 40 minutes.
"I remember keeping a steady pace and reiterating the words, 'I can do this,'" she said. "I'm proud to say that I have that much mental determination to keep going and finish what I started."
Sanford's commander and mentor cannot be any prouder.
"I am impressed and extremely proud of her," Slaughter said. "I'm happy that I helped spark her movement to want to run, and I know that it doesn't just end here. This is going to be a lifelong journey for her."

Pretty chandeliers

Great fixture
Gives my small condo a feminine touch. I love it!Read More
best bathroom purchase - ever!
the slender width of this chandelier made it a perfect addition to my bathroom! i was worried that it would be too bright but the crystals are flat (rather than multifaceted) and it emits just the right amount of light! love, love, love this item!Read More
Crystal Chandelier
Product looked cheap and did not reflect how the picture portrayed the item.Read More
A painted finish.
I fell in love with the larger version of this at a very popular catalog store. Since I am in temporary digs and not my forever home I didn't want to spend that much for it; I had hoped this would be a solution. For me it wasn't. It's not bad but I found the finish too low end to be hanging over my dining room table. I have ordered a replacement from O and am shipping this back. Bottom line you get what you pay for, it's a great style, just not such a great finish.Read More
Very Nice
Compared to the other light fixture that I bought from the same company and that matches this one, it was easy to put together. I think it is beautiful, however, I would say if you are considering buying this product, keep in mind the direction you want it to hang and how well it matches up with with the rest of your furniture, etc.. Mine is a little off. The other thing is that it isn't balanced so one side is a little higher than the other. I plan to buy a balance kit for ceiling fans to see if I can make it level that way. Another thing to consider is the height of your ceiling - the chain was barely long enough and my installer had to go buy more electrical cord. My ceilings are 10ft.Read More
Beautiful Crystal
Chandelier just as portrayed on site. Beautiful glass crystal. Perfect above my soaker tub. So glad I made this purchase ~ unbelievable price compared to everywhere else I looked ~ quality far exceeds cost.Read More
Awesome Product!
The lamp looks pretty plain before you magically transform it by putting all the crystals on it! Then it becomes so beautiful, you can't even see the bulbs - they just blend in with the crystals! Lovely lovely lamp!Read More
Just what we expected!
We looked at many different online sites for a chandelier. We found one similar at Pottery Barn for 5 times more money. This one looks beautiful. It is a little odd to install - you have to run the wire through the bolt that holds the fixture to the ceiling. Other than that, it is a great piece.Read More

I like the style--there aren't many rectangular light fixtures that would work in our space and still look nice.
I like the look.
Item was very pretty and would fit my small condo. Plus it went on sale!
I liked the size, the shape, style and how it was hung.
I bought one and liked it so much I bought another!
Does this come in other finishes? Looking for a brown or oil-rubbed bronze finish.
Thank you for your question djw88. We have the Crystal Glass Drop 3-Light Antique Copper Chandelier, item 14259799. Have a great day.
I have misplaced the directions to assembled the crystals ... can i find it elsewhere?
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
how much does the light weigh?
This item will have a ship weight of approximately 14 pounds. Thank you for your question.
pls confirm the dimension of this light , did the description made a mistake on long and height??
Thanks for your interest, the height 56 inches on the site is the total height of this light, which is measured from the ceiling mounting plate to the bottom of the light. If it's measured from the top of light frame to the bottom of the light, then the height will be 14.6 inches. And the long 20 inches is correct.
Hi, how does this product attach to the ceiling, I need a round ceiling fitting as I have an original circular ceiling crown which I cannot remove. Thanks
This product comes with a round ceiling plate, it will be attached to the ceiling. And the size of the ceiling plate is 4.7" diameter x 1.6" height.

This amazing poster, published in poster size exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, features one of the few good photographic images of the moment captured on film. It is a classic - from the official keeping his eye on the play, to the Cowboys' defenders vain attempt at stopping Clark, to the fans in the background looking on in wide-eyed amazement, to the vintage black-and-white style, this is a beautiful piece of NFL history! Printed from the original photographic negative, and complete with official NFL Properties serialized hologram, this is both a stunning piece for any fan, and a must for any true Niners fan!

On a side note....
Any chance you will come out and play the Event in 2 weeks at NGCT?
The place has changed alot since you last saw it and you won't recognize some holes.
If you wish to go, the location to meet at 11:45ish is the Pine Isle Wellness Center.(near tee 1)...
Are there directions/signage to the Wellness Center once we get there?

Nourishing Ourselves
11 comments:
What an inspirational post, Ali! I think you hit the nail on the head when you say that nourishment comes from nutritious food, but also largely from other sources. Our environment, our physical activity levels, our relationships...they all play such a huge role in how our bodies function. I'm glad to see that you're enjoying the spring and finding nourishment from all around you! I read a quote once that I think is so fitting for this season: "Spring is when life's alive in everything." I couldn't agree more. :)ReplyDelete
thanks for a wonderful post! Nourishing our souls as well as our bodies is so important - thank you for reminding us of that! Enjoy being SILLY today and a little bit everyday!
I love absolutely everything about this post, Ali. Thank you so much for writing it! Your beautiful photos, words, children tales, guidances on so many levels ... all nourish me when I come visit. I truly appreciate you and your blog!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the lovely reminder. Over the years, I too have learned that there are many ways to be nourished and fulfilled as a human being. Certainly carrying creative vision for the life I want to live has helped me manifest a healthful existence. I applaud you for making time to care for yourself. Happy day ~ SarahReplyDelete
This is my favorite piece you've ever posted... and that is saying a lot since I'm obsessed with every single one of your recipes. Too many people seem to forget this far too often (myself included), and it's so ironic since it is the one thing we should never forget. Thank you!
Much love,
Wow...what a wonderful post. It really makes you look at life in a different way when you actually stop to think about these things. Ballance is essential. Thank you for that :-)ReplyDelete
Beautiful post! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.ReplyDelete
I am going to post a link on my blog.
Great post! Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
I am going to post the link to this on my blog.
this post is wonderful, and echoes my feelings exactly. unless we feed each part of ourselves - physical, emotional, spiritual - we cannot be fully fed, isn't that true? i've noticed that in my own healing process so much, especially with creative tasks. using my creativity is so nourishing, and feeds me in a way that nothing else can. it is energizing and fulfilling and beautiful. and yes, it is such a good reminder to do something silly! thanks for sharing this refreshing and much-needed post, and it is fun to hear what you do to stay nourished! i will have to read more about Soma.ReplyDelete

ICBA's Fine Recognized on The Hill's List of "Top Lobbyists"
Fine's job is to make sure new regulations don't damage smaller community lenders
Washington, D.C. (Oct. 31, 2012)—Camden R. Fine, president and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), the nation's voice for community banks, was named a top lobbyist by The Hill on its annual list of the most influential advocacy leaders. Fine has been named to the list every year since 2008. The story, released by The Hill today, says "it is Fine's job to make sure the new regulations don't end up damaging smaller community lenders."
"As a former community banker, and one who now has the privilege of advocating for the nation's more than 7,000 community banks, I'm deeply honored to be named by The Hill as a top lobbyist on behalf of the community banking industry," Fine said. "ICBA has a top-notch staff and we never let up when it comes to advocating for our members. ICBA makes sure Washington policymakers know that community banks are a vital part of America's economic system and that they work overtime to serve their customers and communities. My job is to continue to spread that message and ensure that community banks have a bright future. It's a mission I couldn't be more proud of and am passionate about fulfilling."
Fine joined ICBA in May 2003 and was named president and CEO in 2004. A native Missourian, Fine previously chartered and organized Midwest Independent Bank in Jefferson City, Mo., and served as its president and CEO for nearly 20 years. In addition, he owned Mainstreet Bank of Ashland, Mo., a $45 million-asset community bank in central Missouri. An active member of ICBA prior to becoming the association's president and CEO, Fine served on the ICBA Bancard board, several ICBA standing committees and the association's board of directors.
Fine is currently leading the charge on a host of issues critical to the community banking sector including advocating for a community bank exemption from the proposed Basel III regulatory capital standards and for an extension of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s (FDIC) Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) program, while also working to ensure that community banks are not hindered by burdensome mortgage rules and regulations.

Mediterrean in Vegas
Coming to Vegas first week in August, wondering if there are any reasonable (under $100/pp) places close by the Strip? thanks.
re: mljones99
Have never been to Milo's in Las Vegas, but I have been to their restaurant in Montreal. It's a wonderful place...pristinely fresh whole fish is their specialty, but it's quite expensive in Montreal, and I can't imagine that it would be less so in LV. Eating for less than $100PP with drinks, wine and tip will probably be difficult.
re: josephnl
I think it might be doable. Their pre and post theater prix-fixe four course meal is $49/pp. Most of their entrees seem to range between $30-$60, with some lower and some higher. But if that seems too pricey, their lunch prix-fixe is only $20.11.
re: greekgirl64
We did the $20.11 3-course meal at Milos in May and thought it was an amazing value. Here are my comments from my trip report:
The restaurant is large, open and very impressive, but the day was too perfect to sit inside so we opted for the semi enclosed patio that overlooks the Strip and CityCenter. We received grilled bread along with EVO to start. We then shared the Xortopita appetizer (housemade phyllo stuffed with greens, herbs, feta, Greek yogurt and salumi). Our second appetizer was a Greek meze plate that was truly "amezing"; four spreads (taramasalata, tzatziki, htipita and manouri cheese) along with a stuffed grape leaf, olives and cherry tomatoes. Each spread was delicious, but the spicy hitipitia, made from roasted red pepper, feta and other tasty delights, was pure joy.
My wife chose the Honjake salmon which was a bit underdone to suit her taste, but delicious while I opted for the whole lavraki, a farm raised sea bass known in Italy as branzini or branzino, which was finished simply with EVO and capers. The finale of the feast was a slice of walnut cake and a delicious yogurt martini, Greek yogurt topped candied oranges. Service throughout our meal was perfect and one of the chefs stopped by our table a few times to make sure we were enjoying our meal and answer any of our questions.
re: westie
I think your pictures pretty much sealed the deal that I will be giving them a try next time I'm in Vegas.

Considerations for Waste Management Decisions
There are many considerations that should be taken into account during the decision-making process regarding how and where to manage the waste. Below are questions that you should consider:
- What is the nature of the event?
- How much waste was generated by the incident?
- Are staging and storage areas available for the waste prior to its treatment and disposal?
- What wastes can be segregated into different waste streams?
- Can any of the waste be reused or recycled?
- Should the items or buildings be decontaminated?
- Can the waste be minimized?
- What are the environmental consequences of each option?
- Do the site conditions allow for on-site waste management options?
- What arrangements must be made to transport the waste off-site?
- How much will each waste management option cost?
- How much waste can each waste management option handle?
- Does the waste have to be reduced in size before it can be treated, disposed of, and/or transported?
- What is the public reaction to the available options?
- How quickly does the waste need to be managed?
- Has the facility agreed to accept the waste?
- Does the state, local, or tribal jurisdiction or private entity involved in the incident have a waste management preference?
- Should the waste be treated prior to its disposal?
- Are multiple options needed or will one suffice?
- What if no waste management options can be found?
- Are there any barriers to the selected waste management approach?
What is the nature of the event?
The nature of the event may influence how the resulting waste is managed. Generally, different types of incidents can generate different kinds of waste. For example, animal disease outbreaks may result in carcasses contaminated with biological agents. Natural disasters may generate large quantities of vegetative debris and construction and demolition materials. The types of waste generated by chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incidents are very dependent upon the decontamination and cleanup methods employed during the response as a result of the characteristics of the agent involved. Therefore, depending on the nature of the event, there may be waste management options that are more appropriate, preferable, or available than other options for each type of waste generated. In addition, some options may be required or prohibited for a particular waste stream. There is no one option that is best for all waste streams.
How much waste was generated by the incident?
The amount of waste generated by an incident affects decisions regarding how to manage the waste, including the storage, treatment, and disposal of the waste. Therefore, determining the amount of waste generated helps facilitate effective waste management decision-making during the response. The amount of waste generated partly depends upon the magnitude of the incident and the resulting contamination. Factors such as delivery method of an agent (i.e., chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear) and environmental conditions (e.g., wind speed, temperature, humidity, and UV light intensity), which influence the size, shape, intensity, and overall effectiveness of the agent deposition pattern, are important to determining the magnitude of contamination.
Are staging and storage areas available for the waste prior to its treatment and disposal?
Having the capability to stage and store large amounts of waste can aid in waste management, for example, by providing the space needed for sorting waste into different waste streams, isolating hazardous waste in order to keep it from contaminating non-hazardous waste streams, and storing waste until capacity becomes available at a waste management facility. Local communities should identify and secure staging and storage areas before an incident occurs as part of their pre-incident planning and preparation activities.
What wastes can be segregated into different waste streams?
Where feasible, the waste should be segregated into different waste streams, such as vegetative debris, hazardous waste, white goods, sediment, construction and demolition materials, and putrescible waste. Different waste streams can be subject to different Federal, state, local, and tribal regulations and requirements. In addition, different recycling, treatment, and disposal options may apply to different waste streams, which affect other considerations including cost and environmental consequences. For example, hazardous waste, which is subject to stringent regulations, should be kept separate from other wastes in order to avoid contaminating other waste, which would cause more waste to be deemed hazardous. Vegetative debris can often be recycled or composted, creating a usable product that may generate revenue. EPAs Planning for Natural Disaster Debris Guidance (PDF) (94 pp, 1.9MB, about PDF) provides more information on different waste streams. Waste segregation may not be possible during the initial stages of a response to an incident, but as the cleanup and recovery progresses, waste segregation may become easier to accomplish. Communities should plan for waste segregation in advance of an incident in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their waste management activities during and after an incident. This pre-incident planning should include the identification of staging and storage areas that are large enough to accommodate waste segregation activities.
Can any of the waste be reused or recycled?
There are reuse or recycling opportunities available for many waste streams, even hazardous waste. Reuse and recycling options should be considered before other options. Reuse and recycling have positive environmental and, possibly, economic impacts. There are many reuse and recycling resources.
Should the items or buildings be decontaminated?
If an item or building has been contaminated by biological organisms, chemical warfare agents, or radiological materials, for example, decontamination may be necessary to remediate the affected item or building. However, not every item can be reused because, in some situations, decontamination is not feasible or even possible. The decision on whether or not to decontaminate an item or building depends upon environmental, economic, public health, and other considerations, which may have to be balanced. For example, decontamination of contaminated materials generates its own waste that requires disposal, including personal protective equipment, vehicles, and contaminated water. The amount of waste generated may be small or very large. Therefore, the decision on whether to decontaminate an item or not should in part balance the cost of replacing and disposing of the item, if feasible, with the time and cost of decontaminating the item and disposing of the associated waste. Other factors to consider include whether a facility will accept contaminated waste, the effectiveness of the decontamination process, and public perception.
Can the waste be minimized?
The amount and toxicity of waste needing to be managed should be limited and reduced as much as possible. Waste minimization not only has environmental benefits, but can have economic benefits as well. Communities that prepare and plan for incidents can identify opportunities for minimizing the generation of waste in the first place. In addition, entire waste streams (e.g., vegetative debris) can be diverted from disposal through reuse and recycling opportunities along with wastes such as scrap metal and sediment. Waste that can be treated before disposal, to render the waste less contaminated or non-hazardous, may make the waste cheaper to dispose of.
What are the environmental consequences of each option?
Each management option triggers some environmental concerns, including air emissions, potential groundwater and surface water contamination, disease spread, and soil contamination. The environmental consequences associated with each waste management option with regards to each waste stream vary. When deciding upon a waste management option for a particular waste stream, it is important to minimize the environmental risk as much as possible by choosing an option that is best suited for that waste stream within the context of the particular situation. To help ensure optimal environmental protection, it is important to comply with all applicable Federal, state, local, and tribal laws and regulations. You should contact your state, local, and tribal officials for further information and assistance in selecting the appropriate waste management option(s).
Do the site conditions allow for on-site waste management options?
On-site waste management options include on-site composting, air-curtain incineration, and burial. These on-site options generally are preferable to off-site options, particularly for incidents involving animal disease outbreaks. For animal disease outbreaks, keeping contaminated animal carcasses on-site minimizes the risk of disease spread and increases biosecurity. In addition, removing the need to transport the waste off-site simplifies logistics and potentially reduces overall waste management costs. However, on-site options must be carefully considered, and their environmental effects (e.g., air emissions, groundwater contamination, and soil contamination) must be carefully reviewed. The appropriateness of on-site waste management for a particular incident may depend upon Federal, state, local, and tribal requirements, deed restrictions, weather, groundwater depth, and soil composition among other considerations.
What arrangements must be made to transport the waste off-site?
Arrangements must be made if the waste is being transported to an off-site waste management facility. First, an appropriate off-site waste management facility for each waste stream needs to be identified and located. A facility must be properly permitted or licensed for a particular waste stream in order to be able to accept that waste stream. Also, arrangements should be made in advance with the facility to ensure that the waste will be accepted upon arrival at the destination and not turned away due to capacity limitations or unwillingness to accept the waste as a result of liability concerns or lack of public acceptance. Sometimes, the facility needs advance notice before the waste arrives so that it can prepare for receiving the waste. In addition, the size of the waste may need to be reduced (e.g., ground, shredded) to facilitate its transportation or to meet a facilitys requirements. An alternate route to the facility should be planned in case the primary roads were affected by the incident. Next, a sufficient number of transport vehicles should be acquired to transport the waste to the facility. These transport vehicles should have sufficient protection (e.g., liners) against accidental spillage into the environment when necessary. For transporting hazardous waste, a manifest is needed and all US Department of Transportation requirements, including placarding, must be adhered to. Furthermore, hazardous waste transporters need EPA identification numbers, and some states require transporters to have permits or licenses. Note that pre-incident planning and preparation can help facilitate these arrangements and limit the time and resources needed for waste management activities during and after an incident.
How much will each waste management option cost?
The table below provides the relative costs for different waste management options. Actual costs depend upon many factors, including site conditions, transportation, the waste stream, and the waste management facility. As a result, actual costs can be highly variable.

Lemieux, NHSRC, 2007
How much waste can each waste management option handle?
Actual capacity for each waste management option depends upon various factors, including the waste stream and the waste management facility, and, thus, can vary widely. As part of pre-incident planning and preparation, a community should determine how much waste different waste management options can handle.
Does the waste have to be reduced in size before it can be treated, disposed of, and/or transported?
Some waste management facilities may require the waste brought to them to be no larger than a certain size. Therefore, it is important to check with the waste management facility to determine whether it has any size restrictions. If it does, obtaining sufficient space may be necessary for processing the waste on-site before it can be transported to the facility. Reducing the size of the waste and obtaining space to process the waste may add to waste management costs. However, size reduction may facilitate transportation and lower its costs.
What is the public reaction to the available options?
The publics opinion of each waste management option varies. A community might not like a certain waste treated or disposed of near them or like certain types of waste transported through their neighborhoods. Therefore, as part of a communitys pre-incident planning, local officials and community leaders should discuss the available options with local residents, including where the storage and staging areas should be located during an incident. This should be part of a larger risk communication plan, which the community should develop before an incident occurs.
How quickly does the waste need to be managed?
The speed in which the waste needs to be managed (e.g., treated, disposed of) varies with the type of waste and the conditions at the site(s). Some wastes should be managed as quickly as possible, such as putrescible waste (e.g., food waste), disease-contaminated carcasses, and leaking hazardous waste storage tanks, as these may pose an immediate risk to human health and the environment. Other wastes, such as vegetative debris, can be collected and stored over a period of time in accordance with applicable regulations (e.g., permit requirements, time limitations). Local officials and emergency responders make these decisions in accordance with best practices and Federal, state, local, and tribal guidance and policies.
Has the facility agreed to accept the waste?
Facilities, such as landfills and incinerators, do not have to accept the waste brought to them. Also, a facility may not have the authority to accept certain types of waste. The permit issued to a facility by the regulatory authority defines the types of waste and allowable quantities that the facility can accept. As a result, facilities that can accept problematic waste streams should be identified before an incident even occurs as part of pre-incident planning and preparation. Once a facility is identified, it is necessary to work with the facility and gain its acceptance before transporting waste to that facility during an incident. For example, a contract can be pre-negotiated with a facility for particular waste streams as part of pre-incident planning and preparation. FEMAs Public Assistance Debris Management Guide (PDF) (260 pp, 15MB, about PDF) provides further information on contracted services.
Does the state, local, or tribal jurisdiction or private entity involved in the incident have a waste management preference?
It is important to work with the state, local, and tribal jurisdictions because these jurisdictions likely have the authority to make waste management-related decisions. Also, the local or tribal jurisdiction may have a waste management plan that includes information on nearby waste management facilities and the types of waste that can be expected to be generated by the community. If the waste is generated from a private business (e.g., animal carcasses from a poultry farm), the business should have its own waste management plan that can assist in the decision-making process.
Should the waste be treated prior to its disposal?
Whether treatment is appropriate depends upon the characteristics of the waste and the particular situation at hand. For example, if the waste is particularly voluminous (thus making transportation to a disposal facility very expensive and/or unfeasible), then treatment to reduce its volume is likely to be appropriate. Similarly, if waste is particularly toxic, treatment may be needed before it is transported to a disposal facility in order to further protect human health and the environment. It is important to note, however, that treatment options generally create residues or by-products that would need to be tested and properly handled, transported, and managed as well. Therefore, the decision to treat the waste also should address how and where the waste and any resulting residues or by-products will be disposed of or otherwise managed (e.g., recycled).
Are multiple options needed or will one suffice?
Choosing multiple waste management options to handle the waste that may be generated during an incident may be most appropriate, considering the nature and severity of the incident. If an incident produces a relatively small volume of waste, then one option may be sufficient. However, a larger incident may generate multiple waste streams, likely requiring a comprehensive approach with many different waste management options. The type and nature of the waste streams, level of contamination, lack of storage space or transport vehicles, limited capacity at accessible facilities, a facilitys refusal to accept certain types of waste, and available reuse or recycling opportunities are just some of the reasons that make choosing multiple waste management options necessary. Also, different waste management options may be better for different waste streams for environmental, public safety, or economic reasons. Before one or more waste management options are chosen, it is important to assess the different options available and the considerations associated with each along with the different waste streams needing to be managed.
What if no waste management options can be found?
Before selecting a waste management option, consider its availability, feasibility, and cost effectiveness, taking into account the specific incident, site, and waste stream involved. It may be possible that there is no effective option for a waste stream at an incident site within a certain time frame. In this situation, the waste may have to be stored for an indefinite period of time. Contact the applicable state agency for assistance if waste management options cannot be found for the waste.
Are there any barriers to the selected waste management approach?
Even if the decision-making process for how to manage waste from an incident took into account each waste management consideration (e.g., public health and the environment, the type and quantity of waste streams, transportation, cost, and facility permits), there may be community and facility barriers to implementing the selected approach. With regards to the community, there may be, for example, environmental justice concerns with the transportation of waste to a particular waste management facility. Another possible community barrier may be residents who actively oppose waste being sent into their community. Lack of indemnification for waste management facilities and worker safety concerns at facilities are possible facility barriers. These barriers, in addition to political pressure, may preempt all or part of a selected waste management approach. However, having a comprehensive waste management plan in place prior to the incident may mitigate or remove these barriers. Pre-incident planning and preparation provides stakeholders (e.g., state, local, and tribal governments, owners of private storage, treatment, and disposal facilities, residents) with an opportunity to work together to find acceptable waste management-related solutions.

Xmt 304 cc
The only part that would need to be replaced is the front panel board (PC3). Along with that change, it would be helpful to change the front nameplate so that you could see which position you are selecting and know what mode you are in (Stick, TIG, MIG, VS Feeder, etc.)
PC3 numbers would be #219820, or current board #240577
Front Nameplate CC/CV #175086
All of the other parts inside the CC version are the same as the CC/CV unit
