Just would like to get input on weather to us solid wire or flux core. Which is cheaper or better to use? Does the flux core have problems like stick after sitting around for a whileand gets damp? I'm looking at buying a miller 210 for the farm. What are the quality differences between the miller, hobart and lincoln? I want to do it right the first time instead of purchasing and then regret it latter. I like this message board for ideas and the projects.

solid wire or flux core
I have the MM185 which is the model the 210 was built from. I love it. Had it 6 years. I have the spoolgun which i just used about 10 minutes ago to reach up into a truck bed, with .030 solid steel wire. I use .030 solid wire and 75/25 but i am inside and don't want to mess with the flux core. Being on the farm and outside you may want a spool of flux core to use on windy days. I have a large assortment of wires to use for different jobs what ever comes in. I don't know about the comparison between a Lincoln because i bought the right one the first time. . You can't go wrong with a MM210...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

yeah i used to have a home depot lincoln and never had problems with flux-core and i also welded in very windy days. if you weld outside i would'nt go with gas because the wind may blow the gas away.
Would it be bad to weld with solid wire outside if the wind isn't too bad or is that a no-no all around?

With no wind, sure solid is okay outside, you may have to flow some more gas though. Flux core tends to burn hotter so it tends to warp lighter sheet metal. It's just the thing for welding heavier guage stuff and cold rolled, in my case up to 3/16 (Cricket XL!, ohhh, if only Santa would bring me a DVI!). Don't let the solid wire get damp though. It'll rust and cause nothing but grief, it took me some time and a few spoiled rolls to figure this out...duhhhh. Just take the roll out and keep it wrapped up in the dry when not in use. The flux core doesn't seem to mind the damp though.
What about penetration? Would your average stick welder penetrate farther than say a DVI on flux core? (Waiting for my DVI too getting one this summer )

I've welded outdoors with solid wire and gas, but it's a pain. We have a lot of days with no wind here, but it's amazing how often some little tiny gust will blow your gas away just enough to throw some porosity into your weld. I keep flux-cored wire in my two field feeders, and solid wire in the shop feeder.
Overall, solid wire and gas is cheaper and much faster in terms of clean-up, but requires significantly cleaner metal for good results.
So they both definitely have a place in my arsenal.
I saw your other thread which mentions no longer needing the DVI, so we'll leave that alone. You will never regret having 240V available in a shop. I hope you ran it big enough for future upgrades. Did you put in a full subpanel while you were at it?
Yep, I actually still have 110 with all my outlets and just put a new box in with new 220 outlets. Speaking of which I here all different types of voltage numbers 220, 230 and 240 which really is it?When in doubt Weld It

All the service I see in this part of the country or on gensets I've seen/used is 240V. (And the common wall outlet is 120V.)
If a device is listed for 220, 230, 240, or 250, it will work just fine, though, in all cases of which I am aware. Usually, your receptacles and cord caps will say 250V, to show that they are designed for AT LEAST that amount of voltage.
I think 220V is a left-over from when it WAS the voltage. Maybe one of the old guys on the East Coast knows more about that, though.
Now, 208V and 277V are another story. Those are typically legs of 3-phase systems and you will need to make sure those are properly matched because they are too far away from 240V to be used by most equipment marked 220 - 240 Volts.
Alright thanks, that clears thing up quite a bit. My relatives are were trying to tel me it was 220. And now i can prove them wrong.
Thanks again,
KlugWhen in doubt Weld It

A Trio of Vermouths for Your Next Manhattan
Jack Bettridge
Posted: February 22, 2013
For Americans enthusiastic about such classic cocktails as the Manhattan and Martini—or even those who prefer to take their aperitifs alone—the Vermouth world just got bigger.
The Italian maker of aromatic spirits Contratto, established in 1867, is now exporting to the United States its red and white Vermouths, as well as a similar aperitif called Americano, made from their original 19th century recipes. Contratto's contribution will certainly fill out your cocktail options as well as making you an of-the-moment bartender next time someone orders a cocktail with Vermouth at one of your soirees.
The seminal Vermouth cocktails—Manhattan and Martini—that have long been mainly distinguished by the choice of spirit brand employed—have recently gotten more complex owing to the availability of new faces in the aperitif category. This is a development we applaud. Add Contratto to that list.
Vermouth is an aromatized and fortified wine that was first created in Turin, Italy, in the late 18th century. Since then, a huge diversity of Vermouths have sprung up in that area as well as the adjacent French region of Chambery. (Contratto was founded in Canelli, also in the northwest corner of Italy.) A host of botanicals (25 to 50) typically inform the flavor of a Vermouth. (The name comes from the German for wormwood, one popular part of many recipes.) While based on wine, Vermouth, which can vary in proof from about 25 to 50, is strengthened with neutral spirits made from wine and similar to a brandy.
Even as Americans have been introduced to but a few brands in the past, Europe enjoys a great diversity of brands and styles. While Vermouth Rosso (red or sweet Vermouth) is often referred to as Italian Vermouth, Italian makers also have a tradition for making Vermouth Bianco (dry or French Vermouth).
The color of red Vermouth comes not from the wine's color (it's typically white) but from burnt caramel additive, which give it a dark hue and also its sweet flavor.
Americano is a traditional Italian aperitif that is similar to Vermouth, but often distinguished by its use of gentian herb as well as wormwood. The name comes not from any connection to the American continent, but rather from the root word amer-, Italian for bitter. Normally, Americanos bridge the sweetness gap between red and white Vermouths.
All of these new (to us) Contratto products make fine additions to cocktails, and in the case of the Manhattan a majestic complement to a cigar.
Contratto Vermouth Rosso (34 proof or 17 percent alcohol by volume, $32.99 for a 750 ml bottle): This complex and inviting red is based on at least 31 aromatics. While quite sweet and fruity to the nose, a sultry tartness is added in the mouth that makes the run of spice and citrus notes pop. Aromatics include coriander seeds, bay laurel leaves, yellow sweet clover, cinnamon, angelica root, nutmeg, bitter orange peel, carob tree pods, pimento seeds, rhubarb roots, sage, bark of China, lemon peel, sweet orange peel, licorice and sandal wood.
suggestions: Its sweetness contrasts to great effect in a drier Bourbon
environment such as Basil Hayden, Four Roses, Bulleit, Buffalo Trace or
Woodford Reserve. Also plays well with rye: George Dickel's new
release, Rittenhouse 100 proof, Sazerac.
Contratto Americano Rosso (33 proof or 16.5 percent alcohol by volume, $32.99 for a 750 ml bottle): Not quite as complex as the red Vermouth (25 aromatics), the Americano has a very fresh and minty nose that is more spicy or eucalyptus-like than bitter. In the mouth, it's herbs and spices become savory and are joined with more sweetness. Aromatics include: ginger, mint leaves, hibiscus flower, hawthorn flower, nettle leaves, angelica roots , bitter orange peel, rhubarb roots, sage and sweet orange peel.
Manhattan suggestions: The tanginess of this aperitif suggests good interplay with sweeter, more classic style spirits—Wild Turkey, Knob Creek and Evan Williams—and that is certainly borne out, but don't overlook its possibilities with a smoky Scotch—Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Caol Ila—in a Rob Roy. They're mindscramblers.
Contratto Vermouth Bianco (36 proof or 18 percent alcohol by volume, $32.99 for a 750 ml bottle): The most complex of the trio (50 aromatics), the white is surprisingly sweet after a nose that comes off like a dry pinot grigio. Aromatics include: Hawthorn flower/leaves, coriander seeds, marjoram leaves, bay laurel leaves, chamomile flower, yellow sweet clover, aloe juice, cinnamon, mint leaves, ginger roots, angelica roots , cardamom seeds, nutmeg, bitter orange peel, gentian roots, nettle, sweet orange peel, carob tree pods, pimento seeds, felon herb, rhubarb roots, hibiscus flower, sage, bark of China, lemon peel, bergamot orange peel, liquorices roots, sandalwood, etc.
Manhattan suggestions: Whereas you typically expect white Vermouth to go in a Martini, we'd caution against that use unless you have a gin that has a full-frontal tasting profile, such as a Dutch gin or an Old Tom (or possibly vodka if you want to go in the other direction and simply weaponize this enchanting Vermouth.) Instead use it in a dry or perfect (half red, half white) Manhattan. Pairs well with wheat Bourbons like Maker's Mark, Pappy Van Winkle and W.L. Weller.

Can't wait to get some of the Rosso for my manhattan's. I am a lover of both manhattan's and martini's, Vodka and gin. Will try the white with them both.
Taylor Franklin — February 24, 2013 3:20am ET
Vermouth either Red or White is wine and oxidises in a day or two after opening. A good way to ruin a perfectly good cocktail.
Use a vacuum stopper and freeze it to keep it fresh.
JACK BETTRIDGE — NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, — February 25, 2013 7:54am ET
Or you could step up your Manhattan intake and not give the Vermouth time to turn.

Hello, I'm a senior in highschool i've had a side welding buisness for about 3 years now and i want to start expanding out and do more mobile trips, I have all the equipment i need to do mobile- bobcat 250, oxy/act, air compresser, miller 625 plasma cutter and hand tools, ect.. I currently have a f-250 with a rotting bed on it but i am also building a trailer for my senior project for school i've herd it is safer to put your equipment on your truck but i want to put my trailer to use. I don't mind doing either or maybe i could use the trailer for hauling steel and use the truck as a welding rig only. Comments and ideas please!!!

Mount everything on a skid. That's what I've done for better than 40 years. I like to have a pickup when I need it. 5-10 minutes, a come-a-long and a overhead hoist setup.

Agree on the skid if not a permanent welding rig. Putting a mobile skid together it is the only way to do it.Never Satisfied

Welder + fuel (700 lbs), leads (75 lbs [length?] ), welding rod (25), grinders (25 lbs), torch set-up (200 lbs), hand tools (50 lbs), compressor small (75 lbs)
About 1200 lbs without the steel for the job, plus skid. That can get heavy but it isn't too bad. If you make a custom bed for your truck, you will add a lot more weight then the OEM bed. This will add even more weight to the springs.
If you are doing this as a "side business" and mainly weekends, I would do a skid mount in the truck. Trailers are great but that is best when you need lots of tooling with a smaller truck. I suggest getting helper springs or even add another leaf.
My welding rig doubles as my fam-mobile so to i use an 18 ft trailer for most mobile, but there have been times ive had move the tb to the truck because i wasn't able to get 38 ft of truck and trailer into a jobsite. When i can afford a work only rig ill go truck mount. And you will always need more storage space so trailer has benefits

If I was working regular mount as much equipment in the truck as practical, invest in a Maxstar type unit to toss behind the seat and small skid the welder for when I absolutely had to have it. I woud tend to want to rig this up for a common pickup, the Ford is likely has rotted out cross members in the box (can stick sign posts beside the old ones, ha) but truck changes are no big deal if you make some stuff standard.

The 80 cf will mount with LP tank for cut weld on one skid for a pickup.

General audience
Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees invites viewers to be among the few humans to venture into the jungle to see these creatures at close range. Chronicling Dr. Jane Goodall's more than 40 years of legendary work among the chimps at Gombe Park on Lake Tanganyka in Africa, the film provides a rare glimpse into the daily lives of the now famous Gombe chimp families. Experience the world of the chimpanzee as you have never seen it before.
This film follows Goodall's return to the jungle in search of her now-famous subjects. Rare footage shows chimpanzees interacting in their community group – playing with one another and with their baboon neighbors, grooming, hunting, communicating, and using tools to find food – giving viewers an opportunity to wonder at the rich culture and complex social dynamics of chimpanzees' incredible world. This footage is combined with archival footage of Goodall in her early years at Gombe to offer a comprehensive look at her ground-breaking research.

The MFA program is currently taking applications for its new creative nonfiction track, with an initial acceptance of two students for fall 2015, with two more added in 2016. Applications can be found here and are due by December 15. All students in the two-year program receive full and equal funding in the form of a tuition waiver for both years, a $21,150 stipend during the first year and a $21,150 Teaching Assistantship during the second year. Our creative nonfiction students will teach one introductory course in their genre each semester of the second year. Students will work with our nonfiction faculty and with two Visiting Hurst Professors annually.
Welcome from the Chair
Literature is central to the human quest for meaning. It's a unique vehicle for finding ourselves, for navigating our course in an often confusing and complex world. Because it speaks to our imagination, literature allows us to approach the moral, ethical, social, and political dilemmas of the human situation in an integrated way. The beautiful and the well-argued, the felt and the reasoned, the actual and the possible, the message and the medium: students of literature—undergraduates, graduates, and professors—do not treat these spheres as distinct aspects of human existence. In our department, they bring them together.

Re: Overlap vs Interlock vs Baseball GripsIt should look something like this:
See how the golfer uses a "short" left thumb.
The only thing I would probably switch about this golfer's left thumb placement is I would have it resting on the side of the shaft...the right side for a right handed golfer. This makes the grip a little stronger, but I think it gives the golfer a bit more control and power. Hogan's grip was considered neutral, but by today's standards it would be probably considered a weak grip. Hogan got away with it because he had such a problem with hooking the ball that once he went to that grip it helped stop the hooks and the rest is history.

The Method (El metodo)
Seven candidates compete for an executive position at a multinational company. While the streets of Madrid are filled with anti-globalization demonstrators, candidates are assembled to be put through the final selection process for a single high-level position at a multinational corporation. From the outset, there is a palpably tense, competitive atmosphere among the group. Feelings of distrust increase when they realize they are aspiring for the same position, and that the Gronholm Method (a human resources strategy supposedly imported from the United States) is being used to assess their respective merits. They find themselves pitted against one another in a contest that elicits fear, suspicion, paranoia and betrayal. The humiliation these people are willing to endure or inflict on others for the sake of the job is chilling to witness.

ORNL biological interfaces research examines the spatial relationships, physical connections, chemical exchanges, and interactions that facilitate the flow of information and materials between cells. This research encompasses three areas:
The goal of the Plant-Microbe Interfaces (PMI) scientific focus area (SFA) is to gain a deeper understanding of the diversity and functioning of mutually beneficial interactions between plants and microbes in the rhizosphere. The plant-microbe interface is the boundary across which a plant senses, interacts with, and may alter its associated biotic and abiotic environments. Understanding the exchange of energy, information, and materials across this dynamic interface at diverse spatial and temporal scales is the ultimate objective of the PMI project. Ongoing efforts focus on characterizing and interpreting such interfaces using systems comprising microbes and plants, particularly Populus (a potential bioenergy feedstock) and its microbial community. Understanding the inherent chemical and physical processes involved will facilitate natural routes to carbon cycling and sequestration in terrestrial environments, ecosystem response to climate change, and the development and management of renewable energy sources.
The PMI SFA integrates expertise in the areas of plant genomics, fungal and bacterial research, fungal ecology, analytical tool development, and computational biology and is based at ORNL, with collaborators at the University of Washington, Duke University, and INRA–Nancy in France.
This research focuses on the characterization, integration, and adaptation of natural and synthetic microbial systems across multiple length scales. A continuing emphasis is to characterize and understand how natural systems are organized at the nanoscale and how this organization contributes to biological function.
To support this aim, interdisciplinary researchers focus on technology development with specific interests in the following research areas:
Biological and nanoscale systems research also includes comprehensive resources in molecular biology and molecular and cellular imaging and leverages the advanced fabrication capabilities of ORNL's Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences.
Advances in DNA sequencing technologies are enabling researchers to study complex communities of microbes that cannot be easily cultured in a laboratory. ORNL scientists are using these technologies, such as metagenomic and single-cell genomic analyses, to investigate interactions between mammals and microbes, including some of the 100 trillion bacteria that live in or on the human body. As part of the National Institutes of Health Human Microbiome Project, researchers are examining the complexity of human microbial communities and gaining new insights about their roles in health and disease. ORNL scientists and collaborators, for example, have identified a novel variation of the genetic code in the uncultured oral SR1 bacteria and have characterized the genomic diversity of this lineage using metagenomic analysis. Other uncultured human associated bacteria (some linked to oral disease) that were characterized by these approaches include deltaproteobacteria, TM7, Chloroflexi and Synergistetes. Novel strategies for cultivating such organisms are being developed based on genomic information.

Step 1: The Problem
This problem has arisen in various other forms in the past (for example, when moving: I'd ride the motorcycle into the back of a U-Haul truck and then be faced with the problem of getting it out again), so it's preyed on my mind for many years.
I have a car belly lifter, you know the things they change tyres on? I have been contemplating bearings as wheels, but this is better, and wont chop up the garage floor, and can go sideways, and if I'm lucky might even work with a small car on it , , , and and and
Thankyou, , ,
One thing you might want to watch out for is snapping your centrestand. Some BMs are notorious for cracking the stand where the weld for the foot lever sits - i didn't believe it when i was warned until my K100RS stand snapped in two - fortunately it only resulted in minor mirror damage.
So make sure the gussets on the centrestand weld are strong before you start flexing the stand by rotating a 300 odd kilo bike in a direction it is not really designed to take any force.

Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.

In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Fossils provide a unique view into the history of life by showing the forms and features of life in the past. Fossils tell us how species have changed across long periods of the Earth's history. For instance, in 1998, scientists found a fossil showing an animal at the transition from sea creature to land creature. This tetrapod had a hand-like fin, confirming a prediction of evolutionary biology. Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
A complex biological structure with many interacting parts might appear, at first glance, as if it were originally created in its present form with all its interlocking components fully formed and intact. It doesn't seem possible that they developed step by step via biological evolution. In Darwin's Black Box, Michael Behe introduces a term that he and other proponents of Intelligent Design use for this concept: irreducible complexity.
Evolution is the biological model for the history of life on Earth. While some consider evolution to be equivalent to atheism, BioLogos sees evolution as a description of how God created all life. Evolution refers to descent with modification. Small modifications occur at the genetic level (in DNA) with each generation, and these genetic changes can affect how the creature interacts with its environment. Over time, accumulation of these genetic changes can alter the characteristics of the whole population, and a new species appears. Major changes in life forms take place by the same mechanism but over even longer periods of time. All life today can be traced back to a common ancestor some 3.85 billion years ago.
Scientists have found multiple lines of evidence for evolution, not just one or two. These types of evidence are independent of each other, coming from sources as different as ancient fossils and modern genetics labs. Evidence also comes from comparing the anatomy of creatures living today. All creatures with four limbs (whether mammals, birds, or reptiles) have the same bone structure in each limb, pointing to their descent from a common ancestor. More evidence comes from biogeography. Isolated islands are missing common species found on the mainland, but are filled with many unique species that can be related by a common ancestor. Finally, evidence comes from embryonic development. As an embryo of a mammal grows, its heart develops through stages similar to fish, amphibians, and reptiles. God's creation declares the history of life in many different ways. All these ways are pointing to a consistent picture of God creating through evolution.
The "Cambrian Explosion" refers to the appearance in the fossil record of most major animal body plans about 543 million years ago. The new fossils appear in an interval of 20 million years or less. On evolutionary time scales, 20 million years is a rapid burst that appears to be inconsistent with the gradual pace of evolutionary change. However, rapid changes like this appear at other times in the fossil record, often following times of major extinction. The Cambrian Explosion does present a number of interesting and important research questions. It does not, however, challenge the fundamental correctness of the central thesis of evolution.
From all we know about the state of the Earth 3 to 4 billion years ago and what we know about the complexity of the building blocks of life — DNA, RNA, amino acids, sugars — no entirely plausible hypothesis for the spontaneous origin of life has been found. But this does not mean that supernatural activity is the only possible explanation.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
From the archives: A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
In this video interview, evolutionary biologist Simon Conway Morris discusses evolutionary convergence, the emergence of identical biological traits through unrelated evolutionary lineages. He gives two examples in the video -- the camera eye and saber toothed cats.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Ok I know this sounds crazy, but I play about 2-3 tournaments a month. The last two weeks I didn't play a single casual round or even practice putting. I went and played better then I have in months. I really think it has something to do with not practicing, only because before I moved to where I am not in MS, I was unable to play any casual rounds. Back then I played really well and did without any practice.
Any Ideas on why practice rounds would be hurting my tournament rounds, cause im not getting it at all....
Views: 5
There was a stretch were I was practicing to much. Trying this, tweeking that...oh gotta try this disc etc...I was also playing quite a bit too. When my game was going south, I took a week or so off to kinda "reboot" my mind and muscle memory. It really seemed to help. IMO it was almost like a sensory overload on my mind and game. Once I had a chance to step back and then just play and not overthink and overtweek my game. It helped, well for me it did.
I think we tend to try too hard and push too hard. Once you pass that limit you can become tight or overthink an easy shot.
While I agree with being fresh for tourneys, I wouldn't be parallel with NOT practicing. All the 1k rated players wouldn't be there if that was the case.
The trick is balance. Too much playing tires you out so you don't have your full game/power for tourneys. Not enough makes you rusty. Experiment with how much you're playing/practicing and try to find a balance of keeping sharp without tiring yourself out.
Can NOT PRACTICING help your game?
The answer, of course, is that it depends.
It depends on where your game is at, how much you have practiced before, what level you hope to advance your game to and why your tournament performance was not working when you did practice.
If NO PRACTICE was the key to excellence then first time players would win World Championships in every sport. To the contrary, we know first time players (those who have never practiced at all) will never win a World Championship in any legitimate, skill-based sport. Disc golf is decidedly skill based.
So how about an established player then. Can NOT PRACTICING help him? There has to be a balance between training and rest. The exact location of that balance probably varies from player to player. My suspicion is that well over 90% of disc golf players UNDERPRACTICE rather than overpractice for optimal short-term performance and long-term skill development.
The players I know who have long term habits of consistent practice are very damn good. They got that way by having, well, the long term habit of consistent practice.
In the short term, if a player wanted to play a little bit better than average then Not Practicing might help (or might hurt). But so might a thousand other things help a little bit as well (meditation, yoga, reading mental training books, thinking happy thoughts, getting a raise at work, dating a new girlfriend, a new putter, vitamins, sports massage, wearing lucky clothes, etc.). If there were a particular reason for not practicing, like an injury, then it might help, too.
For long term skill advancement then Not Practicing is a poor strategy. For an Amateur, who wants to move up to Pro and win then Not Practicing will pretty much kill your chances.
When you take some time off, it is not unusual to play pretty well the first time back. You are fresh, physically and mentally. Your expectations are low so you don't feel much pressure. Your game comes together. But eventually reality sets in. That free pass does not last forever and soon you will only get what you have earned and you will have to fight for that. Eventually you will have to overcome tough conditions, nagging injuries and bad luck. Disc golf is cruel to the unprepared.
Taking time off for knee surgery is a good thing. Figuring out how to throw again without hurting my knee has been weird. Muscles that never got sore playing before are now very sore, but I am throwing '50 short of my max and right on my average of about '350.
The bad, well having dreams about playing all the time now. It been a very bad off season for me.
Hahaha I love the thousand other things to play a little bit better.
Info sounds good I do plan to practice again when I can, been tied up in a very slow move to the new house.
I do think the root of the problem is from how and who I practice with. The local players at my current home course are simply not good players....at all.... They are happy with how they play, and I get that. The bad thing is I can play very poorly and still beet these guys by several stokes. So I think im just not really practicing but throwing randomly at yellow baskets lol. Maybe I can figure out a good way to practice without not playing with the locals.

JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Borough Council held their regular meeting Monday afternoon to approve a number of bids.
Council voted unanimously in favor of approving a $16,600 bid proposed by Paul Asti to renovate an existing bathroom in the Community Center into a handicap accessible one.
The construction will include the gutting of the existing restroom; installation of all needed plumbing; window framing; installation of a solid core door with push and kick plates; two fluorescent grid lights; ceiling fan; moisture resistant drywall to be finished and primed; drop ceiling; handicap accessible shower unit, faucet and toilet; and ceramic floor tile.
"It's a major project," said recreation director Ronald King. "Everything runs through the cement walls and it has to be done if we are ever going to apply for any additional funding for projects."
Administrative assistant Rachel Kilhoffer reported giving out three specifications and only receiving one bid in return.
A bid of $28,200 was approved from Allied Systems of Kane to replace the piping system for the Community Center pool.
"This is for piping into the pool and all of the associated piping in the basement that comes off of the heating system," King said.
King noted that Allied Systems had installed the last heating systems for the community building "eight or nine years ago."

If your major was "Learn Golf From Scratch," this would be your 101 textbook
Pros: Invaluable basic lessons on short game and the differences between golf's swings
Cons: A little light for the advanced player
Dave Pelz has been heralded as "The Master of the Short Game," and this book is probably his most famous treatise on the subject. I just started seriously playing and studying golf in late 2010 and picked this book up shortly after that. I did much research to figure out what my first golf book would be, and I'm glad it was this one for many reasons.
First, let me say that it confirmed my suspicions that the short game is the best place to start a serious practice regimen if you want to become an above average golfer. Most people know by now that GIRs are more important to scoring than short game wizardry, but if you are a true hacker looking to get better soon, the short game, IMHO, will shave off strokes the fastest. Moreover, being a proficient full swinger will likely take you years, whether you are the Roy Hobbs of golf or just an average schmo. One year of dedicated short game practice will pay off in spades for your golf life if you just do some PM after that. It has for me.
Think about it - anyone with average coordination and a five minute lesson can become a serviceable putter after two hours of practice. You won't be Ben Crenshaw quite yet - that takes years of practice too - but you can avoid looking like a total fool out there at least. Even the worst hackers I've played with who have a fair amount of athletic ability can usually get the ball to 100 yards from the pin on a par 4 in three or four shots. To be guy who hits 50% or more GIRs per round, though, it's gonna take quite a while. The short game can be the chance to really make up ground if you get good enough.
The first 3 chapters of this book talk about Pelz's backround as a NASA employee and college golfer, about his early days as a golf instrucotr, and how he had an epiphany about why he wanted to stay focused on the short game. It's pretty interesting if you dont want a quick how-to book.
The middle 8 chapters are the meat of the book. One of the best features is Pelz's 3x4 system; for Pelz, 4 wedges belong in the bag, with 3 near-perfect swings of different distances for each. That gives one 12 shots from 100 or so yards in to reach a pin and have a chance of holing putt 1, or at worst not three putting. If all of us could go from 100 yards in two or three strokes on every hole, it would sure help the scores. Because most people only carry a PW (which is really a glorified 9 iron these days) and a sand wedge, 2 extra wedges will help most people have a better chance of dialing in their distances from under 100 yards to within a few feet. The difference between a 2 and 3 iron, for most people, isn't much, and because no one can hit them that straight anyway (don;t give me the hybrid line either - I know you can't hit your 3 and 4 hybrids much different from each other), why not eschew the 2 iron for a new wedge? Pelz calls the 3 swings 7:30, 9:00, and 10:30 - in reference to how your left arm corresponds to the hand on a clock. The 7:30 is like a pitch, while the 10:30 is the fullest swing you'll take on a short game shot.
Pelz also talks about a "dead hands finesse swing." He claims that adrenaline makes a short game swing too unreliable if it relies on the muscles of the hands and wrists for accuracy. A simple, repeatable finesse swing with a neutral grip is better than a strong grip designed for max power like a full shot.
Each Chapter from 6 on goes through full wedge, pitch, chip, bunker, and other more advanced shots. The last few chapters discuss equipment, practice routines, and "the future" of golf. After reading this book, you should have a fundamental knowledge of all short game shots and how to tackle them in a simple, repeatable way. It would do 99.5% of us well to spend a year practicing Pelz's techniques.
After reading and studying golf for a few years now, I've found that most of what Pelz has said still works for me. However, I think this book is best for beginning/intermediate golfers (I feel like I'm graduating toward the advanced level now, though I'm not there yet!). For example, he says it's an absolute no-no to ever play a short game shot in the front of your stance. The ball should always be either in the exact middle or back of your stance, especially for chip shots. I've found myriad good evidence, and experience, that shows me a ball played forward can be good for flop shots, certain bunker shots, etc.
He's also light on geometry. I've become really big recently on seeing exact angles of backswing planes, impact zone shaft agnles, wrist angles, etc. There's really none of that in this book except the customary Hoganesque golf swing plane discussion. For Pelz, it is rightly more upright for wedge shots. Advanced golfers might want a bit more on the theory, but many won;t need that level of detail.
In summary, this is an excellent first-time foray into the world of the short game and golf in general. Enjoy!

CA Rush-Surf Cup Success
Last Updated on Thursday, 21 August 2014 15:59
California Rush might only be less than 1 year old but it is already staking it's place in the Southern California heirarchy of dominant clubs. The Surf Cup's top bracket, the infamous SUPER Group, was well represented by our Boys U16 Saldana Team and Boys U17 Salas Team (formerly South Bay Gunners). Both of our team's faced exceptionally tough competition in group play and BOTH came out as group winners and moved on to the semifinals! Coach Saldana's boys came up a bit short against Houston in the semis and Coach Salas had his boys go all the way to the finals before narrowly being defeated by the XOLOS of Tijuana. It is quite the accomplishment to have one team make it to the Surf Cup.....for us to have TWO and for them to both win their groups and nearly take home the title is phenomenal. Well done to the boys who gave their all as well as Coach Todd Saldana and Coach Victor Salas, we are very proud!!!!

Sydney/Australia - HEAD Racquet Rebels dominated at the Sydney ATP-WTA event in the run-up to the Australian Open, with Tsvetana Pironkova winning the women's singles, Bernard Tomic finishing runner-up in men's singles, Nenad Zimonjic playing on the winning side in men's doubles and Roberta Vinci's team reaching the women's doubles final. Klara Zakopalova, new in the HEAD Team, finished runner-up in women's singles at Hobart and won the title in the doubles.
Qualifier Pironkova, 2010 Wimbledon finalist, who endorses the YouTek™ Graphene Instinct, made a breakthrough as she won her first WTA title with a 6-4, 6-4, upset of German Angelique Kerber. The Racquet Rebel lifted her game at just the right moment before the start of the grand slam as she became the first winner from qualifying on the WTA since summer 2010. "I was nervous but tried my hardest not to show it. I was trying to concentrate so hard that I only saw the ball," Pironkova said. "Winning a WTA title is something I've been waiting for so long."
At Hobart Klara Zakopalova, who endorses the YouTek™ Graphene Speed, was playing the 13th WTA final of her career. On her way she was able to win over No. 1 seeded Samantha Stosur from Australia. "I'm so happy I beat a player like Sammy - she's a Grand Slam champion, so for me it's a big victory here," Zakopalova said afterwards. Zakopalova returned the court later on for the doubles final alongside Monica Niculescu, and they won, beating No.2 seeds Lisa Raymond and Zhang Shuai in a match tie-break, 6-2 6-7(5) 10-8. Niculescu and Zakopalova reached their second WTA doubles title together, after winning their first just a week ago in Shenzhen.
Bernard Tomic, who recently joined the HEAD family and recommends the YouTek™ Graphene Radical, put up a fight against Juan Del Potro but could not produce a repeat of his 2013 home title, losing 3-6, 1-6.
Nenad Zimonjic, who endorses the YouTek™ Graphene Speed, is back again with partner Daniel Nestor, with the pair winning the title over Indian Rohan Bopanna and Aisam Qureshi 7-6(3), 7-6(3) while Roberta Vinci and partner Sara Errani lost a tight final to Timea Babos and Lucie Safarova 5-7, 6-3, 7-10 (match tiebreaker).
Elsewhere around the Southern Hemisphere, HEAD placed a pair of rebels into finals, with Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun going down to John Isner 6(4)-7, 6(7)-7 at the Auckland ATP event. At Melbourne's Kooyong Classic, HEAD Racquet Rebel Tomas Berdych, who recommends the YouTek™ Graphene Instinct, went down in the final to Kei Nishikori 4-6, 5-7.

July 4, 1939 at Yankee Stadium - how tragically ironic that baseball's ironman had his career, and indeed his life, cut short by such a cruel, dehabilitating disease. Yet no player before or since has exited the game with such dignity and grace as the man whose name became synonymous with the illness itself, Lou Gehrig. This incredible poster features the emotional Independence Day ceremony at home plate in The Bronx, when his teammates, opponents, and hundreds of thousands of fans in the stands and across the nation on the radio paid tribute to "The Iron Horse" upon his departure from the game. He lived only two more years, but his legacy has never been forgotten - and was especially apparent back in 1995, when Cal Ripken Jr. surpassed his consecutive games record with the class and style that Gehrig would certainly have approved of.
A beautiful black-and-white classic from the vast Bettmann/CORBIS photographic archive, this image puts you right at the center of the emotional ceremony that day. It's all here: the emcee speaking into the vintage public address and radio microphones; Yankee teammates including Joe Gordon, Frankie Crosetti, Joe DiMaggio, Charlie Keller, Bill Dickey, Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez; the old Yankee Stadium right field bleachers, scoreboard, flagpole, and buildings beyond the fence; the opposing Washington Senators players; a contingent of military men honoring America and an American hero; and Gehrig himself, looking sad but dignified as he accepts accolades, gifts, and awards for his 17 years of brilliance in Yankee pinstripes. A SportsPosterWarehouse.com exclusive, this poster is printed direct from the original photographic source, and includes logos from baseball's Cooperstown Collection and the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and is affixed with an MLB authentic serialized hologram. A brilliant piece of Americana for your wall, this is the ultimate commemoration of one of the most legendary moments in baseball history!

I'm looking to make my wife one of those Bells made from the large Gas cylinders. I'm not planning on cutting the decommissioned cylinder myself however I am looking for suggestions on what the safest cylinder I should look for. I've been told that CO2 is the safest for cutting into. Is this correct? What about Argon?
I'm in the eastside of Seattle, WA area and of the few places I have called either send off their decomissioned tanks or they only have Oxy-Fuel ones. Most have been generous in stating they'll hand off a C02 K size when one comes in, but 2 years have passed - and I'm branching out now for suggestions.
K's diameter just feels right - the height won't matter as the cut height I'd expect ~36" tall. An XL (14.5") would be really neat but at the same time huge.
Once I find the tank or tanks if I can find 2. My next question will be who will cut them and what documention will I need to prove they are proper?

I may be about to make a very stupid statement here so watch out...
Provided the gas cilinders are uncapped, empty and well ventilated... what prevents you from cutting it yourself? I have never checked one of those big gas tanks you are talking about, the closest thing I have seen are diving air bottles. If you unscrew the manifolds, and such any kind of gas inside is going to come out. No harmfull vapours, no explosive gases... nothing.

Bad advice!
Don't forget Mike - some gasses are heavier than air. Propane will settle to the bottom of the bottle and sit there waiting for you - ready to blow your ash out of the room. There's more to it than just opening up the tank.

Hello everyone, Bill (a.k.a. "The Big One Who Picks Me Up") here.
I'm going to "break character" here for a moment to thank you all for the success that you've given Disapproving Rabbits. Hope you're all enjoying it as much as Sharon and I enjoy opening Blogger every morning and thinking "What is this rabbit hating?" Thanks especially to all of you who have sent in pictures, or bought the book, or recommended it to friends, and have, as a result, made it it #3 on Amazon's list of books about Mammals (behind the ever-popular Meerkat Manor and a book about autism and dogs). Please feel free to write a review of it, if you are so inclined.
As Sharon likes to point out, when she suggested putting a gallery of rabbits on her website, I thought it was the dumbest idea in the world. It's about birds! Who wants to see pictures of pet rabbits? But then, I thought the iPod was a dumb idea, too, so the lesson is: never listen to me.
Again, thanks for all your support. We appreciate it, even if Cinnamon (as always) disapproves.

Thanks for the thanks Bill and Sharon :-) I am very happy for your success with the book (congrats on #3) and it's been a blast to "be a part" of something that has really swept the nation, even if in just a small way. I've been patiently waiting for my copy to come from you all (i know you sent it) avoiding the book stores... trying to delay my gratification until my copy comes. It'll be like Christmas! But I also like dguzman's idea of going and checking where it is and making sure it's turned out and displayed prominently :-)
Congrats and enjoy the wave, even if Cinnamon still disapproves!

I just bought it today ;) It made me giggle with glee and I actually recognized a bun from my forum.
I'd actually like to thank YOU for comming up with such a great idea and sharing Cinnamon and Latte with all of us :D
My local newspaper The Oregonian featured THE BOOK in its pop culture column today (Can you call it featured if it's the last thing in the article? Well, you get the idea...)
Well, that didn't work out too well.... darn Blogger. Add these characters to the truncated address above for the full link:
Or just read it as pasted here:
Awww, bunnies! They're so cute. So cuddly. So . . . not the least impressed with you. In the latest in a seemingly endless series of funny animal-photos-plus-captions books, we now have "Disapproving Rabbits" (Collins, $12.95, 192 pages). I can hear you saying: Whaa? Who says rabbits are disapproving? But think about it. Of all the rabbits you've known (OK, maybe there haven't been that many), have any of them looked at you with anything other than a slightly beady-eyed deadpan stare? Well, then, how big a jump is it to think that those rabbits are just not that into you?
Author and rabbit owner Sharon Stiteler came to this realization after noticing her pet bun, Cinnamon, had major attitude. Proving her point, Stiteler collects photos of bunnicular haughtiness, such as the jowls-only shot of a rabbit trapped under a sheet, which observes: "I disapprove of your thread count!" Or a nutmeg-brown specimen whose stern eyes and turned-down nose signal: "Your insufficiencies wound me to the core." It would be terribly damaging to the self-esteem, if all the buns weren't so fuzzily cute (don't tell 'em I said that; they'd surely disapprove of my condescending attitude).

I found your book browsing around Border's last night. I laughed so hard I was wheezing! Until now I thought I was the only one who noticed bunny haughtiness. I'm glad to know it isn't just my imagination. Thank you so much for creating this adorable book!

Noon Solar's chic energy generating bags have been a big hit with us ever since we first covered them in 2007. We're so enamored with these beautifully crafted solar powered totes that they were some of the first items we featured in the Inhabitat Shop when it launched last November, and now we're excited to announce that they're on sale with a 25% discount!
Noon Solar bags are pretty expensive, and not without good reason (they are handcrafted and solar power ain't cheap!) — but a 25% discount makes a big difference. Most of these bags are OVER $100 off right now, so if you've been thinking of getting one – there is no better time than now, because this sale will end soon!
Noon Solar built these bags using first rate materials with sustainability in mind – Founders Jane Palmer and Marianne Fairbanks wanted to make sure that the bags would be non-toxic to the environment so they are made from hand-dyed hemp and vegetable-tanned leathers. Even the solar panels and battery packs can be removed and recycled. We think it's amazing that each bag not only provides ample space and pockets for holding just about anything, but also harness the power of the sun to keep your gadgets powered with plenty of juice. With such classic, tailored looks, these bags are sure to last until you are ready to retire them to the earth.
$313 – NoonSolar Cortland Tote
$309 – NoonSolar Augusta Tote
$282 – NoonSolar Sawyer Bag
$303 – NoonSolar Oakley Tote

Leather's not the worst thing they can use – I'd expect a of fabric bags have a lot of non-biodegradable plastics and PVC and the ilk… Though the other downside to leather is that it really drives up the price so its out of reach to a lot of people, especially non–fashion guy types.

I love these bags, I just wish they were non-leather — so much more eco-friendly.
And friendlier to cows, too.
