At work, in the shop its all MIG. All aluminum is heavy ramps so the spool guns work good. On the road, its stick. [2 Miller big blue air pacs and 4 Bobcat 225Ds]
At home, [my shop], Tig and MIg run close. I do alot of aluminum repairs, marine/boat stuff, so TIG is used a bunch, but I also repair trailers, farm equipment etc, so the MIG gets used a bunch. I have a Bobcat 225D that I never use since I only work in the shop.

I use stick more than any other. I don't have access to a MIG at work, just the Thunderbolt, Ranger 8, and an old Forney that's still goin strong after 40+ years of service. I do occasionally use a MIG at the school, we have 2 MM185s and a MM210, but i rarely use them unless i'm in a hurry or doing alot of stuff with small materials.At Home

I kind of figured this.
Before I asked you guys for help on this one I had a pretty good debate with one of my supplier as to what was used most. I said mig he said tig. I thought that stick might be up there with it but it seems that mig is replacing (by application) it's popularity slowly year by year. I know ya all like to tig and why not? it's more fun, prettier and takes more skill. Tig seems to be used more in our garages on our own projects than in the shop where we have to turn things over faster and make that buck.
Thanks, I won the $5 bet.

Project Assessment Report Template document sample
Estimating template guidelines Start with "the Costs number" provided in the Business Case during Phase 0 … Project Costs as defined in the Business Case template instructions are: …. any costs related to completing this project including: development costs, software costs, hardware costs, etc. as well as ongoing support costs. As a starting point, apportion the cost dollars across the Phases of the project. (Tops Down estimate) Further breakdown the phases of the project into a task/activity list for each phase. Estimate the effort & costs for the project against the task/activity list (see the "effort" tab) (Consider the following areas in estimating your software development (or upgrade) project :) Development Effort - (time*rate) by resource type, by project phase, by task/activity Hardware Costs Software Costs Networks On-going support Costs Admin costs (above typical overhead) For increased accuracy, re-estimate the project using a bottoms up approach and reconcile the major differences between the Top down and the Bottoms up estimates.(Whenever possible seek an independent validation of the estimate before providing it to your Client.) Document the risks assessed and assumptions made that support the estimate. The various tabs in this workbook are intended as aids in estimating I.S. projects. Please note … the various sample tables, and estimating checklists, used throughout the workbook are intended as guidelines or examples for potential tables to be used for individual projects. In many cases, experienced Project Managers will have far more sophisticated tables that will better serve the project. These should definitely be substituted for the table in the workbook. Where the Project Manager does not have such an instrument, the workbook tables might serve as a base for what is needed for the project being estimated. The colors and markings in this workbook have the following meanings. Green Cells = Calculated Numbers Gray Cells = numbers or fields to be supplied by template user. Project: Encompassing no totality of the undertaking. Other colors/patterns have the meaning other than formatting See the estimating Workbook presentation for information on how to use the estimating tabs. Pre-estimate checklist Pre-estimate checklist: not Project Process Yes No necessary Requirements Are the Project Requirements clearly documented and Understood? X (by both I.S. and the Client?) Is the criteria for meeting each requirement defined? X Are the Project Requirements Baselined (Under change control)? X Is there a "Client approved" plan for Requirements changes?

Is the Development environment adequate to support the project? X Is the Operational environment adequate to support the project? X Staff Are appropriate staff available for the project? X Are the resources committed to participate in the required activities? X Is there a training plan to cover deficiencies? X Project Assumptions Replace this sheet with a "Project Assumptions" sheet. ALWAYS include a complete description of the assumptions and dependencies that support the estimate. Assumptions Estimating usually involves making assumptions. It is important to record these assumptions. As the project progresses, the estimating assumptions should be reviewed and revised. To whatever degree possible, the project's scope definition should be included in the assumptions. Assumptions can be recorded using a format similar to the following: Assumption A description of the assumption. The part of the project to which this assumption applies. For Applicability example, the assumption may apply to the whole project, or to just a stage, such as Business Process Redesign. Status Indicates whether the assumption is still valid. Resolution Describes the resolution of any issues highlighted by the assumption, if applicable. The estimating assumptions can be combined with scheduling assumptions.

Modest Mouse is an American indie rock band formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington, by singer/lyricist/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy. They are based in Portland, Oregon. Since their 1996 debut album, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, their lineup has centered around Brock, Green and Judy. Guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths) joined the band in May 2006, along with percussionist Joe Plummer (formerly of the Black Heart Procession) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, to work on the album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Guitarist Jim Fairchild joined the band in February 2009. Their name is derived from a passage from the Virginia Woolf story "The Mark on the Wall" which reads, "I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises."

|This route is much longer than the standard routes but it was worth the extra effort. Great alpine scenery and nice mixed snow and rock climb. Climbing in a loop is definitely more enjoyable, especially traversing Lynch glacier was very memorable. Bugs first chased us first from Marmot lake and then from Peggy's Pond. Two day climb and a long drive back home to Portland at 5 in the morning just to be at work at 9...

|See Dean's post below. It was indeed a gorgeous day, amazingly warm for October. Although I have generally quit repeating summits, I wanted to join Dean and Bill on this climb. Having not been up there for over 15 years, it was interesting to see the peak with so little snow - my previous climb being in July with lots of snow still on the mountain. It's much easier and more beautiful with snow, IMO.

|Route Climbed: SE Ridge Date Climbed: Oct 4, 2003
|Unbelievable fall weather was all the incentive we needed to go after this amazing mountain. Well, the west summit of Mt. Daniel is the high point for both King and Kittitas counties so this was the key incentive which motivated us, but the weather has been incredible and it continued for us through Saturday. It was fitting that the person who put this page up originally, rfbolton , would be one of our group and whose knowledge of this peak was a great blessing to another summitposter and myself.
RPC's outstanding pictures posted recently helped to add more incentive to our effort and I really am amazed that a dog can do this route as several places along the ridge are somewhat loose and nasty as well. What a great viewpoint the summit of the West peak is. The surrounding scenery is absolutely fantastic and despite the hazy skies (from the Crystal Creek fire), a continuous stream of WOW's was uttered by the 3 of us. I could go on and on but it was fun to sign the register kept by the mountaineers. We ended up headlamping out in the dark with my boots killing me, a very long but very rewarding day.

|Route Climbed: SE Ridge (from Peggy's Pond) Date Climbed: Sept. 27-28
|Along with my wife and our dog, climbed this fun peak during an overnight backpack to Peggy's Pond. The weather was unseasonably hot and clear (except for smoke from forest fires). The views were spectacular! We saw Baker, Sloan, and Glacier to the north (and many others I couldn't name), Stuart and its neighbors to the east, and some Snoqualmie Peaks, Rainier, and Adams to the south. This late in the season, the SE Ridge route offers a mostly class 2 (some class 3 sections), totally dry trail to the top. Peasoup Lake at the foot of the Lynch Glacier looked INCREDIBLE from the summit.

|Route Climbed: Southeast Ridge Date Climbed: September 15
|We arrived at the Tucquala Lake trailhead Sunday night 5 PM and set up a tent for the night. Few people, nice Indian summer weather, zero bugs, and a couple of horse camps set up nearby whose occupants do NOT sack out at 8 PM (nor rise at 4 AM). Three of us set off at 5:15 AM with the aim to climb Middle Peak and return by 5:30 PM. Trail in great shape, zero snow along the route BUT warning to newbies, you can actually miss Peggy's Pond under such conditions! We followed the way trail past Cathedral Rock and found a lakelet (NOT aquamarine in color like Peggy's Pond) on a bench south of the Pond and maybe 50 feet lower. Trees in the area effectively hid the Pond from view and with hardly anyone on the trail, well, we missed it. So the way trail we picked up heading west was pretty sketchy, seemed more like imagination than trail, but there was the occasional cairn. Finally we arrived on the high bench above Circle Lake and realized we were following a WAY way trail to the lake, not the ridge route to Daniel. Oops. A somewhat tricky scramble north up a cleft in the main ridge got us back to the ridge route right where the large rock formation rears up at 11:30 AM. Our first view of the Hyas Glacier came at this point, the only "snow" on the route. From here we scrambled up and over at least 4 minor "peaks" covered with very loose rock and scant trail signs, on the way to East Peak. The two climbers ahead of us gave up due to the knife-edge route and the spooky loose rock. We attained the summit of the East Peak at 1 PM, where John and his Malamute greeted us. He left an hour after we had but knew the right way to the ridge trail (duh). Due to the late hour, we basked in the sun and took pix, but decided against heading for Middle or West Peaks. Unwilling to face that loose rock again, we descended by dropping onto the upper glacier, sticking to exposed rock and scree almost all the way back to the ridge trail; had to crampon up for about a 50-meter stretch right at the end. Then we picked up the ridge trail (in fine shape!) and headed back. Unfortunately, remember we never saw Peggy's Pond so we aimed too far south near the end of the ridge when we lost the trail in heather growth. By doing so, we ended up negotiating some pretty steep scrambling down slippery heather slopes with little to hold onto until we got back to the lakelet, then followed paths up to the real Peggy's Pond to admire it. Also to find where the REAL trail takes off for our next visit! From there it was a quick 2 hours back down to the trailhead, arriving at 7:30. Dinner at the Cottage Cafe in Cle Elum (where else??) and back in Olympia by midnight. Great weather, great trail (or so we hear, yuk yuk) great views: great trip! Enjoy your trip, but if you're new to the trail and it's a dry year like 2003 was, be careful you find Peggy's Pond and not some imposter, or your subsequent travels will be about an hour tougher than they have to be!

Is the problem that he has more interceptions than touchdown passes? Good thing Peyton Manning wasn't a rookie in Miami.
Is the problem his 72.3 passer rating? He's just four points behind Andrew Luck on that.
Is it his 57.9% completion rate? Matt Moore has exactly the same percentage on the season, and he's actually ahead of Luck.
Is it just the 2,559 yards for which he has thrown this year? That ranks him 20th in the league, and is the highest yardage for a Dolphins rookie, ever.
Maybe it's the 7.05 yards per attempt average. That's 19th in the league, ahead ofCarson Palmer, Matthew Stafford, and Phillip Rivers. And, that's running a west coast offense that uses short passing route predominantly.
Is Ryan Tannehill a sure fire "franchise" quarterback, destined to take Miami to the Super Bowl? Who knows. But, I do know, benching him serves no purpose, and will make it even harder for the Dolphins to win that Lombardi Trophy. Stunting the rookie's growth now would be the biggest mistake the team could make.
Maybe Tannehill isn't so bad, bro. He's actually been having a darn good season. I really dont understand how people like you can say that he's that bad of a QB.
He's a rookie. He's going to mess up. I'd love to see what a Brady or a Manning could do with these receivers, this playcalling, this o-line, and this running game. My bets are the wouldn't do too hot.

BBD Assistant Editor: Joe Marino
With a plethora of differing evaluations on the top quarterback prospects, there could be as many as four or as few as zero quarterbacks selected among the top 10 picks of the 2014 NFL draft.
Teddy Bridgewater ranks as the No. 1 quarterback and prospect in this year's draft class, and the second-best quarterback draft prospect (behind Andrew Luck) since 2001. He is NFL-ready and has the intelligence and skill set needed to be a franchise signal-caller. A team needing a quarterback should not pass on his talent, which is why I feel the Houston Texans should select him with the first pick in this year's draft.

Experience a really out-of-the-ordinary Halloween! Barcelona, Rome and Prague are waiting to welcome you to underground chapels, skeleton-filled churches and haunted houses.
Barcelona Barcelona is home to several reputedly haunted houses, including the opera house Liceu. On 7 November, 1893, 20 members of the audience were killed by a bomb during a performance. According to popular belief, the victims of the atrocity haunt the huge opera house, and many people have experienced mysterious events. Do you dare visit a churchyard on Halloween? The Montjuïc hill near Barcelona's harbour is home to a very special graveyard. The hill was used as a churchyard from 1883, and was the place where the city's prosperous inhabitants build their memorials. The result is a miniature city covering 56 hectares, full of modernist architecture and sculptures.
Prague Experience a church where death, quite literally, fills the walls. An hour's train journey from Prague is Sedlec with its grotesque and bizarre skeleton church. Nearly 150 years ago, this closed church was decorated in an original and frightening way with skulls and bones from more than 40,000 people.
Rome There are three catacombs in Rome, and some of them are open to the public. The catacombs on Via Appia Antica attract the most visitors, and at least one hundred thousand people are at rest in the twelve kilometres of tunnels. If this isn't enough to raise the hairs all down your spine, you can visit the church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini. Under the church is a crypt, where six small chapels are decorated with the skeletons of 4,000 monks who were interred here by their brothers between 1528 and 1870.

Understanding the NCAA's drug testing policies
The NCAA shares the responsibility of promoting a drug-free athletics environment with its member institutions to protect the health of student-athletes and preserve fair competition.
Drug testing in the NCAA began in 1986 when testing at championship events began, and it expanded to a year-round program in Divisions I and II in 1990. Today, 90 percent of Division I, 65 percent of Division II and 21 percent of Division III schools conduct their own drug-testing programs in addition to the NCAA's.
Approximately $4.5 million is invested each year to collect and analyze approximately 13,500 samples through the NCAA's national drug-testing program, and more than $1.5 million is provided each year to assist drug-education programs at its member colleges and universities.
NCAA drug-test samples are collected and processed by an independent certified collection agency. The samples are collected and analyzed under a strict, published protocol using laboratories certified by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which establishes Olympic anti-doping policies.

We've all made the mistake of signing on the dotted line and getting into a bad deal.
Perhaps a salesperson talked you into buying something you weren't really comfortable owning. Or maybe you took out a home-equity loan and later had second thoughts.
No matter the situation, the end result is the same: You have a bad case of buyer's remorse and wonder what, if anything, can be done.
Fortunately, there are many ways to unwind a transaction you've come to regret. Here's how to get out of a bad deal on four common purchases and borrowings.
Your car
Most of the time when you buy a car, you're either financing or leasing. If you finance your car and change your mind after signing a contract, you're still stuck with it unless the car has mechanical problems. In that case, you might have recourse via your state's lemon laws.
With a leased vehicle, though, you have far more options — even if you simply changed your mind.
Scot Hall, executive vice president of operations at Swapalease.com, estimates that at least 50 percent of people who lease cars experience buyer's remorse at some point during the contract.
"People might not be happy with the deal for any number of reasons," Hall says. "Financial difficulties may arise or there may be a change in family circumstances."
For older Americans, Hall says it's not uncommon for them to experience a kind of "empty nester syndrome in reverse."
"Someone with a minivan might have their last kid who just graduated from college, and now they want a two-seater," Hall notes.
Swapalease.com helps facilitate lease transfers online by matching people who want to get out of their auto leases with others who are looking to get into lease agreements. Hall says that in most cases the lease can be transferred immediately, whether you're one week, one month or even one year into the lease. All the negotiating — including how to pick up or drop off a car and whether any money needs to change hands — is done between you and the other party. Swapalease.com simply acts as a kind of middleman, handling the paperwork and helping you make sure you're following the leasing company's guidelines.
According to Hall, nearly every major carmaker — including General Motors, which offers such brands as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC; luxury brands such as BMW and Mercedes; and others — has fully assumable, transferable leases.
"So the person who had the lease walks away clear and free," Hall says.
Your mortgage
Did you refinance your mortgage or tap into your home equity but now you wish you hadn't? You can unwind the deal under certain circumstances — but you'll have to act fast.
Under the Truth in Lending Act, existing homeowners (not home buyers) have the "right of rescission," which means they can change their mind for any reason if they don't want to stick with a refinanced mortgage or a home-equity loan they've already signed.

It changed my taste for the meal and he loved it too! I've made this a couple of times already and only added a bit extra BBQ sauce for a little extra kick.

On Saturday, Jan. 12, UC San Diego played No. 4 Pepperdine and was not able to muster up the strength to keep the Waves from sweeping them in straight sets (25-13, 25-13, 25-15).
The Waves were led by junior middle blocker Parker Kalmbach who added 7 kills, hitting .600, and ten blocks to the effort. As a team, Pepperdine hit .492.
UCSD is now 2-3 overall, while Pepperdine floats at an even 1-1. The Tritons take the court again tonight, facing off against Cal Baptist. Pepperdine will play Pacific tomorrow on their home court.
Article title has a typo - UCSD* Tritons not UCSB! Also great photo by Ed Chan!

As a mother of two adopted children and the wife of a man adopted from overseas, Sen. Mary Landrieu knows a thing or two about adoption. So when Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill last month banning the adoption of Russian children by U.S. citizens, the Louisiana Democrat took it personally. And she has been fighting ever since for American families left in limbo by the law.
Landrieu's husband was adopted from an orphanage in Ireland when he was 5. He remembers coming to the United States on a steamer. "He is extremely grateful," Landrieu told National Journal. "It's like a storybook ending, and this is possible for other kids. To close the door on them, to slam it shut again on them, is the cruelest thing a government can do."
Experts estimate that as many as 1,000 American families had already begun the adoption process when the Russian law passed. Many families have already traveled to Russia and met the children they were hoping to adopt.
"These are children who were introduced to their prospective parents [and] were told that in a short time that they would be coming to America," Landrieu said.
The Senate has passed a resolution condemning the Russian adoption ban. Landrieu and other lawmakers have sent letters to Putin and President Obama advocating resolution of these cases, but their efforts have hit a wall—a new Iron Curtain.
In response to the letter she and other lawmakers sent to the Russian government, Landrieu got a sternly worded response two weeks ago from Konstantin Dolgov, the Russian foreign ministry's human-rights envoy. Dolgov's letter, acquired by National Journal, blamed the United States for the problem, saying the Russian government is simply protecting children from abuse. (The Russian-language version of the letter is available here).
Last week, Russia's supreme court ruled that adoptions that had received court approval by Jan. 1, 2013, would be allowed to proceed, but those that had not reached that stage would not.
Russia's parliament passed the adoption ban in December in retaliation for a U.S. law aiming to punish those involved in human-rights violations in Russia. The ban was quickly signed by President Putin. The U.S. law, which was enacted late last year, is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a Moscow lawyer who died in a Russian prison in 2009 after implicating top officials in a $230 million tax-fraud scam. The law denies visas to Russians implicated in the Magnitsky case and accused of human-rights violations and it freezes their assets in the United States.
Russia's Duma named the adoption measure after an 18-month-old boy named Dima Yakovlev, who died after his adoptive American parents left him in a locked car in a parking lot for hours on a hot day in Virginia. The three-part bill parallels the Magnitsky bill in that it sanctions U.S. citizens involved in human-rights violations against Russian citizens, banning them from entering Russia and freezing their Russian assets and investments. On top of that, the measure suspends activities of nonprofit organizations that receive money from the U.S. and bans U.S. citizens from adopting Russian children. At his annual press conference in December, not long before signing it, Putin said that the bill is an "emotional" but "appropriate" response to the "unfriendly" Magnitsky bill.
The back-and-forth over the two measures was the latest sign of a deterioration in U.S.-Russian relations. The frictions are posing a challenge to Landrieu and other U.S. lawmakers who are urging flexibility from Russian officials.
"We'd like to impress upon the Russian government that the people they're hurting the most are the children. Some of them are old enough to know what's going on. It's just heart-wrenching and it's wrong," Landrieu said. "It's not necessarily hurting America or American families. We are going to continue to adopt. It's just that Russian children will have no opportunities."
Despite the pushback from the Russian government, she has not given up. That's because Landrieu has seen this happen before, when Guatemala rewrote its adoption law in 2007. While the underlying issues there were corruption allegations, there are still hundreds of pending cases that Landrieu and adoption advocates have been trying to resolve.
Kathleen Strottman, executive director of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, says that there are probably about 175 Guatemalan adoption cases still pending, even after five years. Guatemala's case serves as a cautionary tale for what might happen if pending cases involving Russian children aren't resolved.

I bought the tuning kit, but never used it. Was this review helpful? Yes No Imprint good and bad Written By James T, Laurel , Maryland on Monday, October 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The imprint gives you plenty of options. Pros: The 4v pre-outs made a total difference with my sub amp. It sounds absolutely great. I love sound quality. Cons: After loading the imprint software up , it would never actually connect to the imprint itself after trying 3 different laptops I gave up on the tunning of the imprint. Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine KTX-H100 Written By Adam A, Arkansas City, KS on Saturday, December 29, 2012 Installed a malware packer upon installation, avast didn't pick it up but comodo did. I shrugged it off as a false detection. The next night my facebook was logged and locked from somewhere in seoul, south korea. Scanned pc with malware antibytes and it picked up 2 packers. Scanned the cd itself just now to make sure, the malware packer comes from the IMPRINT_soundmanager.exe Worst software I've ever used in my life, only works with xpsp2 and it is so strict about this. I tried with sp3 to begin with. ERROR 2 ERROR 2 ERROR 2 Tried with win7 64 ultimate, turns out there are no usb drivers for 64 bit. wouldn't get past the open port error. Read absolutely everything about error 2 online Had to install virtual box with a xpsp2 iso but after dealing with this for 3 days i have yet to run it and to the point i really don't care. The pxa itself is great and if you read how to time correct and set it up yourself its amazing. You really don't need the ktx unless you're lazy or don't know what you're doing. Pros: nice mic Cons: malware infected / worst software I've used in 20 years. Was this review helpful? Yes No Can use extension cable Written By Banndit, Canada on Saturday, July 14, 2012 @SirSteve @tdrouill You CAN use a USB A male to A female extension cable and a STEREO 3.5mm shielded M-F extension cable (like monoprice.com item 5587) and leave them plugged into the unit so that you can just plug in your laptop and the mic while leaving the unit hidden where you installed it. Cons: Alpine needs to make the instructions clearer about switching ALL # switches on the head unit to external processor. 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No too much mid range Written By DetroitJake, Royal Oak, MI on Thursday, November 24, 2011 I have built my own home speaker enclosures, after reading engineering based books on the subject. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade. My car is outfitted with nice Danish drivers (Dynaudio and Peerless) (The sub is JL). And in my opinion, this software is a let down. You don't really get a whole lot of options on how to set up your sound. And yes I like FLAT. But no this software doesn't entirely flatten out your sound. I wish I could attach the result. It killed my treble and bass. Way below flat. So that means somwhere in the software I can just bump that back up, right? No such luck. The software is like press the button and hope you like it, or turn it off, and do it manually with the head unit. You have three EQ curve selections, all of which are not good. What I wanted was a nice HMI into the capability of the DAQ in the Imprint module. If the DAQ can do '500' points of correction, why can't I manually tune this more, through a nice PC screen instead of hitting back and forth in menus on the head unit. I run the EQ flat on my head unit (no correction) and it sounds way better than the Imprint software corrected EQ curve. Alpine, please consider a massive revision to this idea. Its a great idea, but needs way more user adjustability. If we consumers didn't like adjusting the sound to our liking, we wouldn't be installing custom aftermarket stereos. We would just live with the factory sound. Pros: I like the idea of it. Cons: See Review. 5 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Mid and Highs, not so good Subs Written By CarStereo1971, Henryetta, OK on Wednesday, December 01, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I liked the idea of tuning the system, but not to sure about not being able to adjust it like my home stereo with its built in MCACC which adjust distance EQ, but allows you to tune it to your taste or maybe set crossovers on subs or a least know where they are. I use T1500 to 2 Alpine Rs mono amp now sounds like 1 8" sub. Software adjust the subs as stereo left then right, but both woofers are playing so I believe this might be a little reason the subs get set so low. Alpine said designers were not into bass, but that is what subs are for. Alpine said to set the sub amp a 1/4 way and notice one reviewer said he set his off, so guess it is trial and error now. It is to bad setup removes adjustments in the deck. Now only Bass, treble and sub adjustments are there, but just not sure the frequency off hand the bass adjust be nice to have a 40 Hz adjustment but that is just me. The over all sound quality of the music is great with unit, and if the bass can be fixed, it will OK. Miss EQ adjustments as well as sub. 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No set things straight Written By Jeffrey, kingston PA on Saturday, July 10, 2010 i have alot of experience with this product, that being said id like to set some things straight. first of all, the threaded bottom is meant to attach to a tripod. this device will only work properly if used with a tripod that can make the mic measure at ear level, and also away from the seat. I have personally used it on Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows vista, and in a vmware virtual machine on MAC. It has no issues with any os i have ever tried, and anyone with any level of computer knowledge should have no issue using it. The software can be quirky, but it does the job and works well. 10 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Works but Windows only garbage Written By Gedaliah, Morristown, NJ on Monday, February 01, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This review is in two parts, the software and the tuning results. First, the software - As I mentioned in the title, this is Windows only software. I use a Mac with VMWare fusion and this did NOT work with the XPSP3 virtual machine. I received the dreaded error code -2. Of course this error message is pretty much useless. Crutchfield support wasn't much help. Just for the heck of it I installed this software on a Windows 7 laptop. I received a warning when I installed the USB drivers but tried it anyway and it worked. In my book, Windows only software gets a maximum of 3 stars when it works perfectly on the XP Virtual Machine. I give 0 stars for this software. Useless error messages, warnings when installed on a modern Windows OS, and it didn't work on the VM. Second, the results - Lots of info on the web regarding tuning. I turned the amp gain for the subwoofer all the way down and performed the 6 point calibration. It took about 30 minutes. The results are outstanding. After calibration I turned up the amp gain on the subwoofer. Bass is nice and tight without being overbearing. The soundstage opens right up. I could never have achieved this level of tuning manually. I'm impressed. Overall, I recommend this product. Too bad the software made this a much more painful than necessary experience. 8 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Warning for Non-Windows XP owners! Written By Ken, Hazel Park, MI on Monday, September 14, 2009 Bought this to calibrate the Alpine PXA-H100. In the description, says this product works with Windows XP only. I thought, maybe the description was old. I took my Windows Vista laptop and. . . nothing. Got a communicaiton error. Called the tech support people at Alpine, and they informed me that, "When they said Windows XP, they meant Windows XP." Further, they don't have any plans right now to make an updated version of the software. Are you kidding me? XP is two O/S's ago! Who has a laptop with that on it? 5 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Hardware--Horrible Software Written By Greg, Washington DC on Saturday, June 13, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The end result is good but this software is horrible at best. I have over 20 years experience as a Chief Engineer in top ten radio market and microsoft certified. It took me over an hour to run one position with this software because it kept locking up. The laptop was a top of the line XPS Dell with XP Pro. I had to keep hitting close and then cancel to get it to release about every 2 minutes. Make sure you lower your subs all the way down and then turn them off as the software tends to flatten out things. Also, make sure to turn the ext ap switch of the H/U on or it won't work. Also Alpine why design a mic that can't be clipped in position? This model is designed to placed on a hard flat surface. Personally, I don't know any cars that have little blocks near their headrests. I was going to keep this software initially, but will be returning it as the GUI interface is so clunky and poorly designed I can do a better job. Alpine clearly did not test this software properly. If I was a normal user I would have returned the whole thing due to poor interface. The processors RCA inputs are staggered instead of equal lengths. This makes it very difficult to do a clean hidden install. If not for all my good prior experience with Alpine this would have been MRA'd first thing Monday morning. The processor does a good job so I will keep it, but not impressed at all with the software. 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Insane Difference Written By Tyteflows, Miami, FL on Monday, April 13, 2009 This absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, will improve your sound like you are sitting front row in a theater. If you are a true audiophile you owe it to yourself to purchase this calibration kit to reach new heights in your listening pleasure. This module WILL NOT make your system louder by any means, actually my decibels dropped off somewhat, but what you gain is pure symphonic luxury. This module along with the calibration kit turned my SUV with a loud stereo into a Sound Capsule with incredible realism. I cannot stress enough how good the imaging in my truck is now. When I close my eyes I cannot tell where the sound is coming from in my truck, it sounds like it is coming from the middle of my head, and that puts a huge smile on my face. Also, purchasing this calibration kit singularly makes sense as you may have several cars or friends with Alpine Imprint ready head units, but only need one Calibration Kit for all of them. Its also nice that Alpine has decided to charge for upgrades or add-ons as the average Joe might just be happy with his head unit and would never use the Imprint option if it was attached internally, it lets Alpine make head units cheaper for people who dont really care but makes them upgradeable for people who do, and lets be honest, your paying about $500 for all the bells and whistles of an Alpine 9886 or similar Imprint head unit, isnt that what you would expect to pay anyways for the industries finest? 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Another Waste of Money Written By Joe, Maryland on Sunday, April 12, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was a monumental waste of money and time! I bought this for the sole purpose of using it with the Imprint software. After 6 hours of tuning and re-tuning, I'm giving up. This is the last piece of Alpine I'll ever buy. I've had to dig deep into many audio forums to learn how this over- priced piece of hardware (and companion software) is supposed to work. Why? Because the instructions give you nothing but a brief overview of each new function in the dizzying array added to the already poorly laid out options on the head unit (in my case a iDA-x100). I've re-tuned about 15 times and each time I get different results (none have been great). The staging does improve but there's a huge loss of bass and the extreme highs (ride cymbals, hi hats, etc). In a few years, we'll all look back on these purchases and know why no one buys Alpine audio any more. 4 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine KTX-H100 Written By David, Dothan, AL on Monday, March 30, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great, a must have to go with your imprint processor. If your head unit has a switch (NORMAL-> EXT AP) and all compatible head units may have it, I don't know, remember to set the switch! If you don't, the sound is poor and you get no error in software as to what you did wrong! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A MUST with the PXA-H100, but... Written By Matthias, Northville, MI on Sunday, January 18, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The most important thing: The sound improvement is absolutely amazing. I fiddeled around with the settings on my own for a week or so. No way, i could have achieved those results on my own. But first of all it is ridiciulous, that this 5.50$ microphone and the SW does not come with the sound processor in the first place. Alpine charges you really for every extra screw. And then, after the new settings are downloaded in your headunit, you are not able to modify them anymore nor review them. You just can modify treble and bass, which is all you need, if it would be really perfect. But its not. For example it was setting my front speakers all the way down to the lowest frequencies. The result was, that the speakers were reaching their limit really quickly (of course! for the deep stuff i have a subwoofer). So i had to manually cut the low frequencies from the front system with the built in crossover from the amp. That suxx. I want to play around with the optimal setting from the headunit, and not crawling under the seat or in the trunk. Btw, no sound difference up to 70Hz. Furthermore, i am under the impression, that i have a phase deletion right next to my head. I would prefer to play around with the time alignment or the phase, to maybe get rid of this. But no way. After all, i am very happy with my system though. Imprint for the win. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No For my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Written By tdrouill, Golden, CO on Tuesday, December 02, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The software sends sounds out the speakers and analyzes the response of your interior from all seating positions. It calculates a digital filter that compensates. The result is nearly ideal sound from your stereo. If you purchased a PXA-H100, this takes the guesswork out of it. Once a calibration is run, you can adjust bass, treble, balance (L/R) and fade (F/R) to your liking. Notes: 1. The instructions say to reboot after installing the software. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. The software freezes if you run it without rebooting first. 2. Regarding bundling with the PXA-H100: if I install an Alpine stereo in my wife's car, I only need one copy of the software and one mic. For that reason, I'd rather see it kept separate than have to pay extra for the PXA- H100 and end up with two mic's and two CD's. 3. The microphone must be located at "ear" level, moved among six positions in the vehicle. A camera tripod makes this easy to do. I borrowed a tripod from my neighbor. If no tripod is available, the mic is small and light enough that it could possibly be hung by a string taped to the ceiling, or taped to the head rest. 4. The PXA-H100 needs to be installed somewhere that the USB and mic cables can be plugged in for tuning, then unplugged. Don't locate the PXA- H100 somewhere totally inaccessible. You won't run the calibration very often, but when you do, you must plug cables into the PXA-H100. 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Does what it claims but... Written By SirSteve, FL on Friday, November 07, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First off, why this is not included in the PXA-H100 is just a lame attempt to get more of my money (and they succeeded but Alpine when down a notch in my mind). You have to have this software and mic in order to use the PXA-H100. Makes absolutely no sense Alpine!! Then Alpine wants you to take a tri-pod inside your vehicle for the mic. Yet another accessory needed for optimal results. My biggest complaint is having to have the microphone unplugged in order to have the headunit function. How many people will actually have access to this unit in order to plug it in and unplug it each time? I would be better engineered if there was a mic on/off button instead... or a mic extension so you can run the female end of the mic input to another location (I tried this by purchasing a 3' mic male to female extension but as soon as the extension was plugged in, the headunit went into Imprint mode and did not allow me to do anything else until it was unplugged). 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Why isn't this included with the imprint? Written By Jones360, Olympia, WA on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 I was also wondering why this isn't included with the imprint. I can maybe understand having a more advanced sound processor that's sold seppratly but to have another component sold seperatly that is pretty much needed for the Imprint to function is kinda lame...... 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Could use *some* improvements Written By Daniel, St. Louis, MO on Sunday, September 14, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) There were a few glitches in getting my Imprint unit setup with this package. First of all, it shouldn't be too hard for Alpine to write a Mac OS version of this measuring and curve adjustment program. Since I didn't have a machine running windows XP between myself, my family, or my friends, it was weeks before someone could call in a favor to let me borrow their laptop. Besides that, the instructions failed to mention that after curves are ported and applied to the Imprint unit, you need to disconnect the microphone and usb cable. I had my imprint unit installed behind the dash and had planned to keep them connected if I ever wanted to update for new components, requiring me to take apart the dash AGAIN just to make this work. This little bit of information was something Crutchfield didn't know, and took even the Alpine support people some few sessions to figure out. After it was all said and done, though, my factory system sounds immensely better. I'm a musician and producer in my spare time, and it took the system in my truck from sound like the components were sitting on the floor to being fairly close to studio monitors positioned as the would be or production work. Way to go Alpine, just fix those little problems you let fall through the cracks, and you'll have a winner.

In the garden of her family's New York City townhouse, Julianne Moore sits on a low flagstone wall, amid plantings of loosely trimmed boxwood and ivy.
The actress enlisted Brian Sawyer of the architecture and landscape firm Sawyer/Berson to transform the backyard into a verdant refuge.
Reclaimed bluestone pavers anchor the terrace, which is ringed by raised beds of boxwood and ivy (and doubles as a basketball court, thanks to the freestanding hoop). Sawyer designed the artful black fence surrounding the space.
Two antique English stone troughs from Laurin Copen Antiques are filled with succulents and moss.
The painted trim of the 1905 house is complemented by matte-black accents found throughout the garden; the window box is planted with English ivy, and a purple sweet potato vine adds a splash of color at the foot of the stairs.
Another rough-hewn trough from Original Stone Troughs was adapted as a fountain, which now gurgles within earshot of Moore's home office.
Sawyer chose a suite of vintage Woodard garden chairs from DeLorenzo Gallery to match a table Moore already owned; staghorn ferns are mounted on the façade.
The installation of branches against the rear wall was created by artist Roderick Wolgamott Romero and functions as a tree house.
