Understanding Advanced Inverter and Waveform Controls
As compared to a traditional TIG power source, a TIG inverter with advanced controls, such as the Miller Dynasty® 350, offers increased control over the welding arc. This allows the operator to tailor the bead profile, improve arc starting, increase travel speeds, perform better on thinner materials and thinner sections as well as experience other production benefits.
A traditional power source uses a transformer to turn high voltage, low amperage primary power into the low voltage, high amperage power used for welding. An inverter power source takes input power, filters it to DC, and, using fast solid-state switches, increases its frequency up to 20,000 to 100,000 Hz, and then transforms it into useable welding power with an advanced level of control over the arc.
With inverter technology comes the capability for high speed pulsing in DC mode. In AC mode, an inverter offers waveform shaping with more control for optimal results. We'll take a look at some of the benefits behind these additional capabilities and how you can put them to use.
DC Pulsing
Pulsing refers to switching from a peak amperage to a lower background amperage. This process is useful on ferrous metals whenever welding heat input must be minimized or penetration has to be accurately and repetitively controlled. For out-of-position welding, pulsing may prevent weld metal sagging or drop through. In addition, thin metals can be welded with less distortion.
|Inverters with advanced controls allow users to tailor the arc to their needs.
"On thin stainless, a lot of times you use a pulse just as a way to strengthen the arc. Instead of having the tendency to want to spread out, pulsing focuses the arc," says Bob Haye, Bob Haye's Precision Welding, who specializes in welding needs for the aircraft and defense industries.
High speed pulsing can also lead to faster travel speeds. When H.L. Lyons, a refrigerator door fabricator in Louisville, Ken., switched from conventional to inverter TIG technology, they cut welding time in half, reduced finishing time by a third and allowed each welder to finish almost twice as many products per shift.
Traditional technology usually allows for 1 to 10 PPS. A common range for an inverter is 100-500 PPS, which provides increased penetration, arc stability and travel speeds. More advanced inverter power sources, such as the Miller Dynasty 350 and 700, can pulse at 5,000 PPS, which further enhances stability, increases travel speed and is beneficial in automated applications.
Some inverter power sources allow the user to set the percentage of time spent at peak and background amperage to further control heat input and improve weld bead appearance. Increasing peak-on time increases puddle fluidity and helps to fine-tune penetration. A good starting point is to set peak time to 50-60 percent of each cycle. This can then be adjusted to suit your particular application.
A few inverters allow you to set the background amperage, which affects heat input into the part and helps determine the size of the weld puddle and arc, especially during the background portion of the pulse cycle at low PPS settings. At low pulse frequencies, the background amperage should be high enough to keep the puddle from solidifying; it should shrink in diameter but not solidify. For stainless and carbon steel, a good starting point is 20-30 percent of peak amperage.
|"I've tried the triangular wave and found a setting that was just able to weld phenomenally on thin material," said Neal Vesco, of Vesco Metal Craft, shown here working on a quad rugby chair.
AC Output—Welding Aluminum and Magnesium
Advancements in electronics allowed for the development of the squarewave, which solved the problem of the sine wave arc extinguishing itself. The development of inverter technology took AC control even further, refining the squarewave to a nearly instantaneous transition between polarities, eliminating the need for HF arc stabilization when welding with AC and allowing precise control of AC balance, output frequency and independent EN and EP amplitude control.
AC Output Frequency
Conventional technology limits AC frequency to 50 or 60 HZ, the same as single-phase input power. Inverter technology, however, allows output frequency to be adjusted anywhere from 20 to 400 Hz. Increasing AC frequency provides a more focused arc with increased directional control and a narrower bead and cleaning area. A lower frequency softens the arc and results in a wider weld puddle and bead.
An arc cone at 400 Hz is much tighter and more focused at the exact spot the electrode is pointing than an arc cone operating at 60 Hz. The result is significantly improved arc stability and increased penetration, ideal for fillet welds and other fit ups requiring deep, precise penetration.
AC Balance Control
AC Balance Control adjusts the balance between penetration (EN) and cleaning action (EP). Inverter-based TIG welders allow the operator to set the amount of EN from 30 to 99 percent for greater control and fine-tuning of the cleaning action.
|Too much cleaning action can lead to the tungsten tip balling.
More cleaning action is not necessarily better. To produce a good weld, you need only a .1-in. etched zone surrounding the weld, although different joint configurations may have different requirements. Using the least amount of cleaning action (setting the balance at the highest practical EN) necessary helps maintain the tungsten point, reduces balling and provides for deeper, narrower penetration.
Insufficient cleaning action results in a "scummy" weld puddle. If the puddle looks like it has black pepper flakes floating on it, add more cleaning action to "blast" away oxides and other impurities. Too much cleaning action can lead the tungsten tip to ball and reduce penetration. A good starting point is 75% EN. Fine tune it from there.
Amplitude Control
Independent amplitude control, available only on some inverters, allows the EN and EP amperage values to be set independently. Independent control of the EN and EP portions of the AC cycle allows the operator to direct more or less energy into the work piece, as well as take heat off the tungsten.
For example, when welding a thick piece of aluminum, the operator can put 250 amps of EN into the work and only 60 amps of EP into the tungsten. This provides faster travel speeds, faster feed of filler rods, deeper penetration, and the potential to eliminate pre-heating. Some companies cut production time by up to two-thirds using this technology.
Independently increasing EN amperage while maintaining or reducing EP amperage also narrows the arc cone, lets the operator use a smaller diameter electrode to make narrower welds and may allow the use of straight argon in place of argon/helium.
Some inverters also bring control over the waveform itself to meet a specific requirement or operator preference. Some of the waveforms include:
- Advanced Squarewave, which gives fast transitions for a responsive, dynamic and focused arc for better directional control.
- Soft Squarewave, which provides a smoother, softer arc with a more fluid puddle than the squarewave.
- Sine wave, which gives the soft-arc feel of a conventional power source, while using square transitions to eliminate the need for continuous HF.
- Triangular wave, which combines the effect of peak amperage while reducing overall heat input. Leads to quick puddle formation and, because of lowered heat input, reduced weld distortion, especially on thin material.
Achieving maximum productivity often depends on the inverter's ability to produce a weld bead profile and characteristics that meet the application needs without over-welding, under-welding, excessive post-welding grinding or weld repair. In critical or high-volume applications, only advanced AC controls provide this benefit.
|Two arcs one at 150 HZ and one at 40 HZ. Note the thinner weld bead at the higher frequency and the wider one at the lower frequency.
"With the Dynasty [an inverter based AC/DC TIG power source by Miller Electric], you can weld much quicker," says Derek Grundler, production manager of A1A Dock Products, Hollywood, Florida. "And when you strike an arc, it draws a puddle at least twice as fast as conventional TIG."
Grundler found that the inverter-based TIG source increased production by 18 percent, provided a payback time of two weeks per machine and improved weld bead consistency. Neal Vesco of Vesco Metal Craft, leading manufacturer of rugby wheelchairs, found production increased by approximately 30% by switching to an inverter based TIG power source, finding the triangular wave especially useful on thin aluminum. Both Grundler and Vesco also noted an improvement in bead appearance.
"We only have a 1/8-in. white line (etched zone) around the weld," says Grundler. Describing how the new system eliminated post-weld cleanup requirements and protected the aluminum finish. "With conventional TIG, no matter what you do, you're going to get a 1/4-in. white line around the weld."

New From Sam Pask Design - Project:Aquarius, the easy to use Aquarium Water Change Device, Project Aquarius is an ad-hoc solution to the many problems encountered when water changing a fish tank, solving problems like carrying heavy water buckets, starting and controlling siphons, replacing tank water and filling large containers from the sink. Project:aquarius is designed from a series of easy to get hold of components available both on the high street and or online.
Step 1: Containing Water
A recommended water change for a tropical or cold water tank is 20% every two weeks so ideally a barrel that holds 20% of the tank contents would be perfect. so for a 60 litre aquarium needs approximately a 12 litre water change and a 100 litre bucket needs a 20 litre. Marine fish tanks require 10% water changes every week so the container size can be worked out the same way but with 10% buckets instead of 20%
The tank i created this project for is a 50 litre tropical tank so i purchased two 10 litre plastic jerry cans, one for tank water and one for clean water. from my local aquarium.
My user name is NomoWaterChange cause that is what I am introducing to the aquarium hobby this year. Gone is ALL the horror and hassle of fish tank water maintenance as you have known it, PERIOD! No more smell, no more brown water, no more plastic plants and no need to replant (plastic or live) because you never need to stir up the gravel or use a suction tube to clean the gravel. There is no need to purchase expensive canister filters or under cabinet bio tanks or U.V. sterilizers or Co2 devices (all of which only add more maintenance to the love of the hobby) we only use an inexpensive under gravel filter! There is no loss of fish life and there is no need to carry buckets of water or drag a hose though the house. WHAT A HASSLE!
My device is solar powered using the light from the tank, so there is no need to go add another plug to an already overloaded circuit. (Its GREEN) There is a AA battery that delivers current over night so the unit is always powered up.
Now, you may not fully understand how it works after I explain it, but then you cant explain how electricity works either, yet you use it every day.
Basically, we introduce micro currents into the water, specifically into the gravel bed. One lead goes into the gravel the other pops up out of the gravel about 12-30" away (from the other lead) exposing a couple inches of the lead to the water. We have just created a circuit in the tank between the gravel bed and the water. Doing so stimulates the aerobic (good) bacteria and suppresses the anaerobic (bad bacteria) doing this will allow your tank (no matter what size) to go up to 2.5 years with NO WATER CHANGES! Like any other tank, you must have proper fish loading. Our Nomo will work on salt and fresh water fish and inverts.. however we are still working on it being compatible with inverts in the salt aquarium, ...Inverts just don't do well yet. Our test tanks have been running well over that time frame with NO PROBLEMS, and only healthy fish and plant life to support our claims..
We placed our Nomo into a 55 gal tank that had a large Oscar. The tank water was an unseemly brown. In less than two weeks, there was a remarkable notice in water clarity and a few days after that, the water had the appearance as if it has just been changed.
This product will work on ponds as well. Physical removal of debris will always be required, but Nomo will clear up the water so you can see your fish and the bottom of your pond no matter how deep or how big. If you have any questions you can always email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Oh, well, back to researching...
Water changes cost only your labor and de-chlorinater, To not do them for the health of your aquarium inhabitants is pure laziness.
Most ornamental fish live in streams with a fresh supply of water constantly surrounding them.
There is no such thing as a properly balanced aquarium, that is an idea that was disproved long ago. An aquarium is an artificial environment for fish, the more often and larger a water change the better they will do.
Even an aquarium with the best modern filtration and full inoculated with the proper nitrifying bacteria can not remove nitrites and other harmful organic dissolved solids from the water. These build up and the only way to remove them is by doing water changes.
Your "when in doubt, wait it out" methodology will, in time, be the death of some poor fish.
It's much better to keep stocking levels low enough that moderate water changes are better.
No offense but both parties here are swinging around the words "Water change" without any context for your argument.
If Ammonia & nitrite are 0, and nitrate is below 10, why stress the fish? Have plants to moderate the whole dang thing.
Seriously guys, don't throw around jabs; point to your evidence and keep the discourse polite. We're all friends here.
Give it a read and perhaps your aquarium can be as healthy as mine.
Do you even know what you're growing in an aquarium? You do realize what you throw out every time you do a water change, right? apply that to "The more water changed the better" and see what doesn't add up.
Your author reference is a hack. Those books are old and his ideas are as wrong as eugenics applied to humans.
His books seemed relevant 25 years ago, but there have been massive improvements in aquaculture, chemistry and our understanding of the requirements of our fish and invertebrates since then.
If you are reticent to perform the required maintenance required to maintain healthy fish in a stress free environment, perhaps you should take up another hobby.
Changing water in an aquarium, using the proper equipment and methods is not stressful in the least for fish. Letting them slowly suffocate in their own waste and accumulating salts,minerals, and metals is.
I have been keeping and spawning my "little fish friends" as you put it for approximately 35 years at this point and have never had any issue with doing frequent water changes, in fact my fish are healthier more robust and more colorful because of it. I do not have any recurring or regular outbreaks of disease I see so many people who are "fish keepers" having.
I regularly ship fish and invertebrates throughout the United States using the United States Postal Service. Not overnight, not UPS or Fed Ex, but good old regular Priority Mail, 2-3 sometimes as many as 5 day shipping. I have yet to loose a fish in transit or have a recipient say they lost a single fish.
I doubt any of you could say the same.
I'm going to use an electric bottled water pump and 5 gallon water bottles

Comments about Personalized Royce Watch Box and Cufflink Holder:
i am buying my husband his first watch for christmas. then it occurred to me that he'd probably like something to put it in--as oppposed to my jewelry box. i found this--and for the same price as the non-personalized box, so why not get it personalized?
I got his initials put on this and i must say that it looks better than i thought it would! the initials are in the center of the top of the box and a little larger than half an inch big--so it's not too drastic looking with the letters.
the collar stays are nothing fancy, but they came with the box, so who cares! i got the black box and the leather feels pretty thick and the bottom of the box is a nice black velour so it wont scratch or scuff your tables. :)
also, i purchased this when the free gift wrapping and personalization was going on--and it came nicely wrapped in dark blue tissue and a nice thick navy blue box with a silver bow.
good buy and i'm sure my husband will love it!!

The Girl With a Suitcase (La ragazza con la valigia)
Drama, Comedy
The title character, played by Claudia Cardinale, is a young woman who heads out alone to the big city after being dumped by her lover. She is befriended and protected by her ex-suitor's younger brother Jacques Perrin, who eventually becomes her new romance, despite the difference in ages (Perrin is 16, while Cardinale is...somewhat older). When Cardinale begins a new relationship with a musician, she tries to let Perrin down easily, but the young man is too headstrong for that. When they finally do part, Perrin gives Cardinale a large sum of money as a farewell gift. Despite the fact that Claudia Cardinale subsists off the kindness of strangers in this film, Girl With a Suitcase (originally La Fille de La Valise in France and La Ragazza Con la Valigia in Italy) treats her character with warmth and sympathy.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

SF Environment improves air quality by making it easier for people to walk, bike, and use transit or rideshare instead of driving. We also promote electric cars and other clean vehicles and fuels and have made the City's fleet one of the greenest in the nation.
Climate Change
SF Environment's Climate team develops and implements policies and practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, focusing on areas that will have the greatest impact--transportation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and solid waste management. We work with city agencies, businesses, and residents to develop comprehensive strategies for tackling climate change.
Eco Products and Services
All City departments are required to buy from an approved list of environmentally preferable, or "green," products. To make this process easier, SF Environment created the SF Approved List to share the best green purchasing information with City staff and everyone else interested in alternatives to toxic products.
San Francisco is committed to meeting its energy needs through energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy resources while creating jobs and saving money. By providing incentives and technical assistance to commercial and residential building owners, we work toward energy self-reliance, improving air quality, and reducing greenhouse gases.
Environmental Justice
SF Environment's Environmental Justice program addresses air quality, energy infrastructure, and health concerns in low-income San Francisco communities and helps build healthier, more sustainable neighborhoods. We provide support to local community projects that improve air quality, reduce the use of toxic products, promote energy efficiency and renewable energy, increase access to healthy foods and community gardens, and create green jobs.
Green Building
By integrating planning, development, and green building construction efforts, San Franciscans are aligning the built environment with the natural world. We're minimizing energy consumption and resource depletion, and improving air and water quality by supporting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification programs and other green building initiatives.
Green Business Program
The San Francisco Green Business Program recognizes business in San Francisco that go above and beyond to implement greening measures for zero waste, energy efficiency, water reduction, and pollution prevention for their business. The program connects businesses with all the available free rebates, resources, services, audits, and technical assistance offered by various City departments.
Green Jobs/Environment Now
SF Environment develops and implements programs and policies that support the growth of a robust green economy. We prepare our local workforce for opportunities in the green economy with Environment Now, a green jobs training program that provides leadership development and on-the-job training to workers from the city's most underserved neighborhoods.
School Education Program
The School Education Program provides outreach and curriculum to all San Francisco public and private schools and teaches K-12 students how to protect nature through topics such as zero waste, urban gardening, and water pollution prevention.
Toxics Reduction
SF Environment provides information on environmentally friendly alternatives to toxic products. We also offer a range of opportunities for residents to conveniently and safely dispose of toxic products while ensuring the City itself uses the least toxic products possible.
Urban Forestry and Urban Agriculture
San Francisco fosters public awareness of the crucial importance of urban nature by initiating community gardens and urban farms, the Landmark Tree Program, re-landscaping projects, and park and recreational areas in densely populated areas of the city.
Zero Waste
SF Environment imagines a world in which nothing goes to landfills or incinerators. We provide residents, businesses, and city agencies with the information and tools they need to waste less and recycle more, bringing the city ever closer to the goal of zero waste by 2020.

At first glance, they would seem the unlikeliest of couples. The classically beautiful Meryl Streep was her New Jersey high school's homecoming queen and always compassionate and willing. Tommy Lee Jones, in contrast, came from rural Texas, where even in youth, his face seemed to mirror his hardscrabble environment, carved with lines like a peach pit. Equally harsh is his taciturn demeanor.
See also: Discuss your favorite Streep roles and costars
Strange bedfellows unless you ask director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada), who cast Streep and Jones as the leads in his film, Hope Springs, a portrait of a midlife couple grasping to regain their sexual passion. "Tommy's an extraordinary actor first, but he's also sexy," says Frankel. "It was important to have someone play opposite Meryl whom she found really sexy, so you could imagine a sexual history between them that had died."
In fact, Streep, 63, and Jones, 65, have more in common than it appears. Both possess sharp literary intellects. (During our photo shoot, Jones, a Harvard grad, cracks up when his wife offers a line about Southern literature from novelist Pat Conroy, and Streep, who got her M.F.A. from the Yale School of Drama, makes reference to the Roman poet Lucretius.) They claim four Oscars between them but cite their offspring as their proudest accomplishment. Married for 34 years to sculptor Don Gummer, Streep has four children, ages 21 to 32. Jones, wed to third wife Dawn since 2001, has a son, age 29, and daughter, 20, from his second marriage.
Now real-life empty nesters, Streep and Jones drew from experience for their roles in Hope Springs, in which 60-somethings Kay (Streep) and Arnold (Jones) sleep in separate bedrooms. That is until Kay decides to reignite the flame between them and drags her uninterested husband to an intensive marital-therapy week with Dr. Bernie Feld (played straight by Steve Carell). The film, with jaw-dropping directness in risqué sex scenes, follows Kay and Arnold as they attempt to reconnect. It was a daring undertaking for two mature actors, but Streep and Jones were undaunted. "The issues about sex are delicate yet universal," says Frankel. "Nobody thinks they're having enough sex — that goes for teenagers and people in their 70s. This movie is about intimacy, and Meryl and Tommy were excited to confront that. There was no squeamishness on their part."
There is, however, a bit of squeamishness on my part when I sit down with the actors to discuss sex after 60. To loosen things up, I offer them some wine. "No, thank you," Streep demurs.
"Sure!" bellows Jones, to which Streep responds coyly, "OK, then I'll have some, too." Wineglasses in hand, we begin.
Watch the trailer for Hope Springs, with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones.

"I loved everything about this gift tag! Looked great on clear cellophane goodie bags for my son's Star Wars themed birthday party."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"
"Excellent quality - make simple presents look more elegant and saves time as no card necessary for all of the nursery school party gifts."
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
The new comedy picks up six years after the duo's last adventure. After years of growing apart, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar's door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold's house ends with the "high grade" contents-and Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree- going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree almost blows Christmas Eve sky high. In 3D at select theaters.

Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RD
Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is a genetic disorder. It occurs when a fatty substance builds up in the brain. This causes progressive destruction of the brain. There are three forms:
Given the best of care, all children with the infantile form die by the age of five.
TSD is caused by the absence of an enzyme. This enzyme is needed to break down a fatty substance called ganglioside (GM2). As a result, GM2 builds up. The build up in the brain causes damage.
TSD occurs when both parents pass on the faulty genes. A person can have just one copy of the faulty gene. In this case, there are no symptoms. The person is called a carrier.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Factors that increase your chance for TSD include:
Babies with TSD may seem to develop normally until about 4-5 months of age when symptoms begin to occur. Symptoms may include:
In some cases, the symptoms do not begin until age 2-5 years old. The condition progresses slowly, but most children with Tay-Sachs disease do not live beyond age 15 years. Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor may examine your child's eyes to look for a cherry red spot on the retina.
Your child's bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
There is presently no treatment for TSD. Treatment is aimed at managing symptoms.
There are no known ways to prevent Tay-Sachs disease. If you are a carrier of the gene that causes TSD, you can talk to a genetic counselor before deciding to have children. Prenatal testing during the first trimester is available.

The momentum all seemed to be on Landon School's side.
After tying Saturday's boys lacrosse rivalry game with 12 seconds left in regulation and winning overtime's opening faceoff, it was Landon's game to win. But a well-timed Georgetown Preparatory School stick check at the top of the box forced the ball to the ground. Little Hoyas defenseman Matt Billings then scooped the ground ball, took it the length of the field and passed to Colin Giblin, who quickly dished it to Townsend Brown for the game-winning goal with just more than two minutes remaining at Landon.
"This is probably the best win of the season, definitely, and probably my career, too," Brown, a junior, said. "I've never scored a goal like that and all the credit goes to my teammates. I finished it. They made the play."
The Little Hoyas (13-4, 2-0 IAC) lost both games to Landon last year, but won 8-7 Saturday afternoon. Previously, their last win against the Bears was in the 2011 Interstate Athletic Conference championship, 7-6, in overtime. Prep is the only team left without an IAC loss.
After taking a 3-1 lead in the first quarter, the Little Hoyas' offense stalled. They went on a 22 minute, 22 second scoreless period, which allowed Landon (7-6, 1-1) to take a 5-3 lead.
The final two minutes of the third quarter may have been the most important of the game.
Jack Olson ended the scoreless streak with 1:38 left in the quarter, receiving a behind-the-net pass from Tanner Holifield and using a quick stick to score.
Landon won the ensuing faceoff, but turned the ball over with about 12 seconds remaining. Brendan Collins got the ball and made a pass down the left sideline to Brown. Brown streaked to the goal and scored just before the horn sounded to end the quarter, tying the game at five with officially one second remaining on the clock.
"We were fired up in the beginning, ready to come out, and then we settled down way too much. We got too comfortable," Giblin said. "That was the biggest goal of the game. Besides overtime, that was the biggest goal of the game. At that point, I had just dropped one on the crease. We were down by two, they had all the momentum. It was a great finish by Townsend and a great feed from Collins."
Sean O'Brien scored for Landon just before the nine minute mark in the fourth quarter. Collins responded just more than a minute later for the Little Hoyas.
With 1:54 remaining, Georgetown Prep called a timeout. Less than a minute later, they nearly turned the ball over, but Giblin picked up the ground ball to maintain possession.
Collins scored the go-ahead goal with 59 seconds remaining, turning and shooting immediately after catching a pass from Charlie Horning.
Landon won the ensuing faceoff and Rob Dunigan scored an improbable goal with 12 second left. After dodging his defender, he took a shot from the left of the net at a sharp angle and it slipped over Will Railey's stick and just under the crossbar.
"It was a typical Prep game. Either team could have won it. Both teams had opportunities to win it and I'm disappointed we couldn't find a way to get a goal late there in overtime," Landon coach Robinson Bordley said. "Give them credit. When they had fast breaks, they converted."
Landon didn't take any chances in overtime. It possessed the ball, passing around the horn for the first 2:17 before calling a timeout. The Bears turned the ball over with 2:11 remaining and Prep scored moments later.
"There was never a doubt in my mind we were going to get that stop," said Railey, who made nine saves for Prep. "Our defense, we've been through a lot this season, but we're strong. I knew we were going to get the ground ball and push it in transition. It was a great ground ball by Matty Billings.
"It was a great team effort all around. There's not much I can say. It was a great game. I'm on top of the world right now."

While tornado sirens blared through Nashville on Thursday night, guitars were the only ringing sound on the General Jackson Showboat. Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Chris Young, Sara Evans, The Doobie Brothers, Jerrod Niemann and more played the 28th annual Sony Music Nashville Boat Show, a private showcase for radio and music industry executives in town for the Country Radio Seminar.
Former WSIX morning radio personality Gerry House was the evening's emcee and playing on the weather scare, he walked on stage wearing a bright orange life jacket.
"If this boat goes down, just Sara Evans and I will survive," House quipped of the singer, who was wearing a low-cut blouse. "You couldn't push her under water. If you're not with someone you want to die with, switch seats now. There's seventy mile-per-hour winds."
Rain pounded the sides of the riverboat as Paisley took the stage to share some new music with support from Dee Jay Silver.
"There was an email sent to all of us at Sony that said the safest place to be in a storm was on the General Jackson," Paisley told the crowd. "Right. It's Armageddon out there this evening and we're all on a boat. It's a nightmare. I've had this dream."

POTTSBORO, TX-Several Pottsboro kids got together and saved up some money to help out a classmate.
8th grader Dalton Ringquist was in for a surprise Friday afternoon after his classmates presented him with a new HP laptop. Dalton brought his computer to school one morning, and it was later stolen from his backpack. One of his classmates, Cole Powlison, wanted to buy Dalton a new laptop so he brought his friends together and was able to raise $490.
Carole Ringquist says her son is new at the school and is very shy. She is thankful for his classmates' kindness.
"I'm overwhelmed. I'm just in shock, especially these being teenagers and you hear so much negative about teenagers, but what these kids did was overwhelming," she said.
Dalton will be heading out to Best Buy to set up his new laptop.

6 cups
apples - peeled, cored and chopped
3/4 cup
1/8 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/2 cup
white sugar
I've made this recipe twice and both times the applesauce was great! However, i found that when i used fresh apples picked from our tree, it didn't need any sugar. The second time, i used apples that i had frozen and needed the sugar, but used half of what was recommended. It's an easy recipe and i love it!
I wasn't too pleased with this recipe... although it made the whole kitchen smell lovely while it was cooking! My husband likes his applesauce less chunky, so I made sure to chop/food process the apples very small. It would be good fresh and warm, but didn't seem that appetizing when cold or as leftovers.

I don't like cloves and debated using them. I did and OH MY WORD was this awesome!! I used the food processor for 3/4 of this then used a fork just to break up the remaining apples so there would still be large chunks. We had it while it was still warm and oh my word!! Never again will I buy applesauce when I can easily make it. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!
**EDIT: I've made this numerous times now and it's great warm but even better the next day!
It is imporant to rememeber that apples come in various forms. Some are sweet, others tart. Some have firm flesh and others soft. Therefore, there is no exact recipe for anything involving apples. With that said, this is a great basis to work from. I used Cortland apples, which had a sweet taste and firm texture. I tasted the apple mixture right before I was supposed to add sugar, and it was sweet enough so I left it out. Then when it was finished cooking, I smooshed its with the back of the spoon to make it smoother, but still chunky. A number of people commented it on not getting it smooth enough. Some advice: use softer fleshed apples, add more water and cook for longer, or use a blender, as previosuly stated. Over all this was a great way to make applesauce!
This recipe was really easy, although I needed to use less water (about 1/2 a cup only) because I soaked the apples in water with a little lemon juice to prevent browning, although in retrospect I guess it doesn't matter since the cinnamon and cloves are brown :). This recipe tastes exactly like Mott's cinnamon applesauce which I LOVE, but I can pronounce all the ingredients that went into it. I used 6 Fuji apples (I tried this with golden delicious and did not like it - I'm going back to Fuji or Cortland next time - the Fuji won't need any sugar) and 1/8 c sugar, and probably could have gone without, completely. I used 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon cause I love cinnamon, and will leave out the cloves next time. I also might try throwing in some strawberries or other berry. I did need to cook it 5 minutes longer.
Delicious flavor. I did blend mine in the food processor and I found that it cooked better when I covered the pot with a lid. Overall great recipe and exactly what I was looking for!
This recipe turned out kind of chunky and that's *exactly* what I was looking for. Very simple, very easy, very TASTY!
Thankyou for sharing.
Yum, this was really good. I only added 2 tablespoons of sugar, left out the cloves, added a cinnamon stick, and used a potato masher to reach the consistency I was looking for. Thanks for the recipe!

A wealth of links to teaching materials, technological tutorials, resources and people involved in language teaching with technology. A place to start for an overview of what's going on out there, though perhaps overwhelming for beginners. For teacher training, a very specific task would be required ...
The book focuses on practical ways teachers can explore and exploit the potential of the vast web-based video resources that now exist on the internet. In addition to this the book offers guidance on how to encourage students to use video as a creative tool that can support their language learning.

Plenary by J-C Bertin, papers on pragmatics, corpus linguistics and LSP teaching in general
The rival view of ELT:Standard English is one variety of English; it is not the subject taught.Texts (discourse) are the subject matter of EFL /ESL.SLA involves the socially-mediated development of interlanguage.A process syllabus is used. This focuses on how the language is to be learned. There's no pre-selection or arrangement of items; objectives are determined by a process of negotiation between teacher and learners as a course evolves. The syllabus is thus internal to the learner, negotiated between learners and teacher as joint decision makers, and emphasises the process of learning rather than the subject matter.No coursebook is used.The teacher implements the evolving syllabus in consultation with the students.The students participate in decision-making about course objectives, content, activities and assessment.Assessment is in terms of low-stakes formative assessment whose purpose is "to act as a way of providing individual learners with feedback that helps them to improve in an ongoing cycle of teaching and learning" (Rea-Dickens, 2001).

Jordan places the ongoing coursebook-no coursebook debate in a wider theoretical and political context.

France / États-Unis : le programme Fulbright offre 1 million de dollars pour les bourses 2016-2017
Le programme Fulbright indique, dans un communiqué lundi 24 août 2015, proposer "plus d'un million de dollars [855 000 €] de bourses aux étudiants (bac+3 minimum) et chercheurs français désireux de se rendre aux États-Unis entre août 2016 et juin 2017". Les candidatures sont à déposer à partir du 24 août 2015 sur le site internet de Fulbright, dont la priorité est "une vraie diversité de profils". "Le processus est compétitif mais ouvert, avec des taux de sélection qui tournent autour de 4 à 10 candidats par bourse selon les programmes", indique dans le même communiqué Arnaud Roujou de Boubée, directeur de la commission Fulbright. "Les chances de succès sont plutôt plus élevées pour les bourses doctorales et les postes d'assistants de langue", poursuit-il. Le montant des bourses varie en fonction des projets et peut atteindre 45 000 dollars [38 500 €].
Le programme Fulbright existe depuis 1948 et est co-financé par les gouvernements américain et français, "ainsi que par un nombre croissant de partenaires publics et privés". Il offre aussi la possibilité de bourses, sur un budget équivalent, à des étudiants et chercheurs américains désireux de se rendre en France

Forman concludes: "the EFL teachers in this study […] represent not only excellent models for their students, but repositories of knowledge about the feelings and thoughts that have accompanied the process. I suggest that teachers who are able to make explicit these aspects of L2 learning – who can talk about performing L2 and the alternately opening or inhibiting effect of its performance – can do their students a great service in leading them to understand the affective foundations upon which such learning rests

A nice example of how to use the COCA data base and corpus tools to support intuitions or assertions about actual use of similar words (rotate/revolve). For advanced learners or teachers.
I have used VideoANT for a number of things. Here are some ideas to get your started:

To Till or not to Till, THAT is the Question!
Starting a project fresh and excited, our group couldn't help but picture the final product that our toils would eventually bring us to: a beautiful, butterfly-filled wildflower garden in all its splendour—but it's the word eventually that quickly put this image on hold. It wasn't until we attended a lecture by Master Gardener Joan Jolin, that we realized the amount of TLC soil required before a single seed could even touch it. As we explained our intention to have the plot of land tilled to revive the patchy, hard (as soil in Windsor means clay) lot, Joan, horrified, responded with a, 'BIG mistake.' Ideal soil is obtained by covering untilled grass with 8-10 layers of wet newspaper covered with topsoil/compost, and leaving it for a year. Unfortunately, time was not something we had; thus, we were forced to use her next option: combating the army of weeds that would grow as a result of the tilling by placing a tarp over the earth. The lack of sunlight and heat generated kills the unwanted plants and leaves us with useable soil for gardening.

Ready, aim, fire!
Brookstone brings you a better-balanced copter that fires infrared shots at its opponents. Complete with stabilization chip for super-smooth flights. This advanced technology gives you more real-flight maneuvers and battle action. Using infrared laser technology, the copter "shoots" other Combat Copters. Aim the front of your helicopter at your enemy's copter, either head on or broadside, and press the shoot button on your remote. Did a light blink on your enemy's copter? You got 'em! Side counter lights illuminate with each "hit" and keeps track of hits taken from your opponent. Each hit causes the copter to spin. After a third "strike," the defeated copter slowly spirals to a landing and inactivates the remote control. Game over. The downed helicopter will recover and reset after a few minutes and be ready for the next dogfight.
Makes its own shooting sounds.
Combat Copter makes realistic shooting sounds as it fires infrared shots at the enemy's copter. Separate remote-control frequencies avoid interference between your copter and your opponents. Multi-directional controls bank it left, right and let it hover in mid air. Your purchase includes one copter, remote (that doubles as the charger) and a spare-parts repair kit—be sure not to discard the repair kit with the box.
Challenge your friends to be the ace fighter pilot; order yours today!
For ages 12 years old and up. Warning! This product may contain small parts which may pose a choking hazard to children.

I didn't like it at first but now I love it. I've crashed this heli into everything trying to land it on small ledges, speakers and my wife's head, this thing can take a beating. Lack of wall charger is a drag cause it uses the batteries (6AA) in the remote, but it charged/flew for about 3 whole days and I used it a lot. If it came with a wall charger I'd give it 5 stars. If you are having trouble using two choppers, sync them to their remotes in separate rooms and you won't have a problem. Also the directions don't explain it very well; turn remote on, turn heli on, push left thumb stick all the way up and all the way down, the red light will turn solid, now as you push the left thumb stick up it will take off. My wife could fly it on the first try, now we resolve all of our marital disputes with helicopter dogfights!

Received as a Christmas gift to battle with brother in-law. Easy out of the box start-up charge and fly. Had no problems with frequencies. Flew very stable and precise. The comlete battle round is sufficient to 5-7 minutes of flight time per charge. Takes 20 minutes to re-charge. Operates and battles as described. Heli is very durable bouncing off walls and falling to the ground as long as it doesn't hit anything solid such as tile or counter tops. Battery in conroler last less than 1 week about 15-20 charges.
I would have given this a better rating but the longevity of the internal plastic gears are pressed on and will loosen or wear out causing slippage and the blades to not get to thier maximum power. I've taken them apart and glued them into place and that has fixed the issue. The spare parts do not come with a spare landing gear. Outdoor flight it loses control with the transmiter even at a short distance. Kept falling out of the sky unpredictably and managed to break off a landing gear. One less landing gear eliminates taking off from the ground. Replacement landing gears would be nice but you you can only fix it by opening the heli's body. They are screwed on from the inside.
So bottom line, expensive toy to only work great continously for 1 week or a set of batteries. Unless you can tinker with things, this is not recommended.

Comments about Combat RC Helicopter:
This is great toy and given enough time to master the controls, will provide the user(s) with a lot of entertainment. The only downside to this toy is the rather shortened battery life in the helicopter which drives the propellers. Five minutes or so of flight time is about all that you will get out of it before needing to recharge the battery. At least it is rechargeable!
It will take about 15-20 minutes to accomplish that task.
Have fun!

Comments about Combat RC Helicopter:
Got as a Christmas present and at first it was great. After about 2 hours of playing (after having to charge it every 20 min) I brought it up about 80 feet and the propellor stopped and the helicopter crash landed on to the grass. After that incident the controller and copter will turn on but I can't get it to start. Total waste of money because it worked for literally a couple hours and ruined my Christmas. I am very disappointed in Brookestone and will not continue to purchase anything else from the company because this proves I cannot trust their product.

Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne College Receives National Recognition for Community ServiceSYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … For the sixth consecutive year, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and the U.S. Department of Education has honored Le Moyne College as a leader among institutions of higher education for its commitment to community service and service learning. Announced at the American Council on Education's 95th Annual Meeting "Leading Change" this week in Washington, D.C., Le Moyne was named to the 2013 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for engaging its students, faculty and staff in meaningful service that achieves measurable results in the community. "Once again, Le Moyne is honored to receive this national recognition," said Gloria Heffernan, director of service learning at Le Moyne. "This award recognizes the hard work and commitment of our students, faculty and community partners. Service to others is a hallmark of Jesuit education, and we are proud that our efforts are being recognized." The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll recognizes higher education institutions that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their communities. Inspired by the thousands of college students who traveled across the country to support relief efforts along the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, the initiative celebrates the transformative power and volunteer spirit that exists within the higher education community. Le Moyne has been honored every year since the inception of the CNCS honor roll in 2006. Click on this link for more information and a full list of recipients. CNCS oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact, and the American Council on Education. Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors, including the scope and innovation of service projects, the extent to which service-learning is embedded in the curriculum, the school's commitment to long-term campus-community partnerships, and measurable community outcomes as a result of the service. #####posted on: 3/6/2013

What a PITA
Sunday, August 17, 2008 - Page updated at 12:59 PM
Vintage race car stolen in Vancouver, Wash.
The Columbian, Vancouver, Wash
Vancouver, Wash. Forty-five years ago, it was the fastest car on the drag strip.
Today, Vancouver police are looking not for the car that tore up the track in 1963 but the stolen trailer holding the vintage race car valued at $1 million.
An enclosed trailer, along with the 1963 Ford lightweight Galaxie driven by drag racing legend Phil Bonner, was stolen early Saturday morning from where it was parked on Columbia River Drive just west of Beaches Restaurant & Bar.
"A message has been sent out to all units citywide and countywide to be on the lookout for the trailer," said Officer Jim Azinger of the Vancouver Police Department. "Because I don't think we are going to see this vehicle out there driving on the roads."
Carlo Magno, who lives in the condominiums near the Columbia River, said he represents the car's owners, family members who want to remain anonymous.
"It's a museum piece, valued upwards around a million dollars," he said. "It's only one of one. That's what's important about it."
Magno said he had been planning to pull the vintage car to Woodburn Dragstrip today so Bonner could autograph the car's dashboard and door.
"He drove that car all the way through the entire year (1963) to win the nationals," Magno said.
Magno said he last saw the red trailer with Washington dealer plates at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday. One of his neighbors spotted a man believed to have stolen the trailer at about 3 a.m., he said.
The suspected thief is described as 45 to 55 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 210 pounds, with a stocky build, and partially bald with blondish red hair.
Magno said he believes it was a random theft because only one other person knew what was inside the trailer.
"I don't think the thieves knew what they were getting," he said. "They were just taking a trailer.
Azinger, when asked about that possibility, said it's not "out of the ordinary for someone to grab a trailer when they don't know what is inside."
The car's owners are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to its return, Magno said. Anyone with such information can call Vancouver police at 911. Or they can call Magno at 360-771-1055.
"No questions asked," he said. "We just want the car back."
