I picked up a Miller 22a and Arc Pak 350 in trade. I never saw it run since the guy delivered it to my house. I switched it from 480 3 phase to 240 single phase per the manual instructions, it turned on, I hooked up my gas bottle, hooked up a spool of .045" wire, replaced some bad parts on the Tregaskiss tough gun, and tried to run a bead.
On 3/16" plate, wire speed at 3 or 4, it just sputtered, erratic arc, popping. I turned the speed down, it was better, turned it down to 1, and it could maintain the arc a little better, for a few seconds, but it piles up on the plate even at low speed, no penetration. It just seems super weak. I struck the arc and watched the gauges on the Arc Pak 350, and it showed 20 volts and 100 amps when it was running.
No matter what settings I change on the pendant, I can't get anything going. It seems to somwehat arc when i have the voltage and speed set way down, but anything high and it just melts the wire to the tip or pops erratically before jamming the wire up in the gun.
What should I look for? I'm starting to think i got the bad end of a trade deal, not even counting all the work it took to get the thing up and running in my garage

Miller 22a questions / problems
I run a 22a. Using .045 innershield wire (gasless) my feeder is set at about 2.75 to 3 on the feed dial. Are you sure you have the incoming power set correctly? Running the right polarity? L1 & L3 for incoming single phase, L2 is not used. Jumpers correct?MM250

hello thank you! I pulled my cover off and double checked my jumpers with the owner's manual and they look correct, and I have capped off the red wire and am running my power to L1 and L3. I attempted to hook the lead from the 22a to the negative and the ground to positive, it really didn't seem to make a difference! I swapped them back to DCEP though
I am starting to think the neck that I installed on my gun is not making correct contact, or the tip is bad. The way it keeps popping the wire and fusing to my tip seems like a bad hookup. I'm going to install the old broken flex neck and just put some heat shrink over it for the gas for now to see if it works better

I think I got it figured! It seemed like a bad ground or connection situation, with the pop pop pop intermittent arc, and then I started to suspect the neck I installed on the tough gun- the flex neck was cracked when I got it, so I installed a solid aluminum neck, but it didn't fit up to the tough gun correctly. it must have had a bad connection, or the set screws I installed to keep it from spinning were grounding the trigger to the neck? Well, now it lays a nice fat bead, and I can dial in my settings. I was worried the .045 wire was too large for a 240v home setup, or that I couldn't dig deep with only 240v, well I'm blowing holes through the 1/4 plate scraps I'm messing with, and have plenty of juice left.
thanks again

"Best Horse Wash Ever!"
This is the best horse wash ever! It takes half the time to wash my horses for a show now. It's easy and the horses look like I spend hours washing them. It is great for fungus and skin conditions. It's also easy on their eyes. I wont use anything else on my horses.
I use this product to wash my four dogs after going to the beach at least once a week. I also use it on my 18 hands, 1800 lbs Belgian draft horse, who is just a bear to wash. It is so very easy to use. I don't know what I'd do with out it. Plus, there is no perfumy nasty smell. It leaves all my animals smelling clean, and incredibly soft!!! I love it, love it, love it!
"Wonderful for treating rain rot!!!"
I aquired a rescue horse that was covered in rain rot and was told this would clear it up. I used it on her and within about a week the rain rot was almost completely gone. I now use it on all of my horses to keep them clean and to prevent skin issues.
"No better product!!"
This has to be the best equine product I've found! I use it on my horse, the dog, it's just amazing!! Though I was skeptical, I followed the directions and left it on the horse to dry, the next morning he was sparkling white:) I will never use anything else!!

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh believes the current F1 grid is the most competitive that he has ever experienced...
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh believes the current F1 grid is the most competitive that he has ever experienced.
The 2012 season saw seven different drivers from five different constructors win the first seven races, with Kimi Raikkonen driving his Lotus to victory later in the year to add another constructor to the list of winners.
The Drivers' title went down to the last race where Sebastian Vettel edged out Fernando Alonso by three points, while Red Bull finished only 60 points ahead of Ferrari in the Constructors' standings with a total that was 190 less than they achieved in 2011.
McLaren endured a difficult season, performing in spits and spurts as they notched up seven race wins but failed to challenge in either the Constructors' or Drivers' Championships.
Looking back on the year, Whitmarsh feels that the cars and drivers on the grid are the strongest that have been on show since he started in the sport in 1989.
"The strength and depth of the grid in terms of drivers and teams in my view, casting back over 24 years personally, is stronger than it's ever been," he told ESPNF1.
"It's more difficult to go out there week after week winning and being dominant, and that's good. It's been great that these last two or three years have been really good Formula One seasons."
The Briton believes there are a number of reasons why this is the case.
"You've got well-funded teams, a period of comparative rule stability and I think the tyres have been quite tricky. For a good first half of this year they were a baffling ingredient in the performance package. So I think all those things mean it's close," he explained.

1 pinch
baking soda
2 cups

tea bags
3/4 cup

6 cups

I would give this recipe 100 stars if I could!!! I am in love with McDonalds sweet tea. I would go every morning after I dropped the kids off at school and buy 2 large teas with no ice. I would grab a drink here and there!! I would crave it if I didn't have any left!! Well sorry Mcdonalds!! You have met your match!! I double this recipe and make a gallon of sweet joy!! I love the baking soda trick. It really does keep the tea clear and not bitter. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
Pouring boiling water into a glass pitcher (even a "heat-proof" one) is a recipe for disaster. The glass will crack/shatter. The best thing to do is to pour it into a plastic container first and then put it in the glass pitcher after it has cooled.

The baking soda is the key ingredient in this recipe to make a smooth tea. It helps to cut the bitter taste that you can get from tea. It's really refreshing and for me it has the right amount of sweetness. Thx.
As if this recipe needed ANOTHER 5 star rating, but I couldn't help myself. I agree with another reviewer that the baking soda DOES take the bitterness out of the recipe. I had stopped making iced tea for that very reason, and then I found this recipe. It's absolutely delicious. For those of you who see the baking soda in this recipe and frown in curiosity, turn that frown upside down. The baking soda makes it delicious (and is necessary in my opinion)! Now, I will say that I did not use quite as much cool water as the recipe calls for. I think I stopped at about 4 cups. But the strength of your tea is such a personal taste thing, so I would recommend that as you're adding the water, give it a good stir after the first few cups and taste it and see whatcha think. As for the sugar, I used exactly what the recipe called for (keep in mind I used less water) and it tasted perfect. Not too sweet, because I don't like sweet, sweet tea. This recipe can be tweaked to suit any taste. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. It's absolutely delicious! Try it...once you do, you won't have it any other way!
Some of my family members are not sweet tea drinkers, they prefer their iced tea unsweetened so I tried the pinch of baking soda in unsweetened tea and it seemed to be just as effective at smoothing the bitterness and preventing it from getting cloudy. Thanks for the tip!
A lovely recipe. I used 1 cup of sugar (If you've ever had the "Tradewinds" brand of iced tea, then you'll know what I mean when I say I prefer "super sweet" to simply "sweet". The baking soda worked its magic even better than I thought it would. I also substituted ice for some of the cold water which speeded up the cooling process. This will make you feel like you're sitting on your wrap around porch in a white rocking chair, even if you live in the city without so much as a patio.
I made this yesterday for my husband, as he's big on sweet tea. Yes. Thumbs up. He approves! I'll be making the sweet tea like this from now on. EDITED: This also works with Splenda and agave nectar!
Yey! No more cloudy tea! And all it took was a pinch of baking soda? So clear you can see right through it. Using 1/2 cup of Splenda was the perfect sweetness for us and I thank you cookincode3 for sharing your great tip!

I don't have the resources or interest to do the suggested experiment. But, two questions. Do people who read right to left look at photos the same way people who read left to right? If a page shown to me, how do I first learn it is a photo so I can start start at the lower right, or a page of text so I can start at the upper left? You have to start somewhere.
Also I do not agree that people look at the entire photo before going to the bright spots. No matter where you start, the eye will see the bright spot and go directly to it.
Look at bill boards. They must capture one's attention very quickly and get the message accross very quickly - a few seconds at most. Where do they put the text on a photo. I don't see many with the text in the lower right corner.
Print ads are a bit different because they have a little more time to capture the audience. But not much. If the text is at the bottom, the photo must be a real eye catcher.

I am conscious that we fall into a trap - perception is reality, so we think a rule works, but only have each others opinion as validation. For example I recall that Kodak did a study on color that indicated we see color in a context to the other colors it is with not by the absolute color! They had done a huge amount of research before they even posed this idea.
And folks continue to use the word 'tension' as if it had been firmly defined, had real meaning in the context of photography.
Kodak could have benefited by doing a literature review. Psychologists working in the field of human perception demonstrated that phenomenon decades, many decades, ago.
Or they could have just asked people who mat pictures....

"The interplay of conflicting elements in a piece of literature, especially a poem."
Let me start by saying that I'm a bit uncomfortable critiquing the lake/mountain shot as I'm not sure who the photographer is and whether he/she wanted that to happen to his/her shot.
Nevertheless, let me charge forth....
Personal preferences can be vastly different, and there's just no accounting for the differences. Some people really love those Robert Kincaid (sp?) and 'big-eyed kid' paintings. The lake/mountain shot does nothing for me. For someone else it might be the best thing since pre-plucked chickens.
I get no feeling of tension (as defined above) from this shot. In fact, I find this shot rather disappointing.
Not only is there a bit of meaningless sky in the upper center but there's a bit of distracting purple in the upper right. That purple isn't large enough or exciting enough to get me to wonder what it is, where it came from. (It reminds me of unfixed CA.)
The reflection in the water is not detailed enough to give any sense of mystery to the upper peak. I don't look at it and want to be able to see the top of the undisclosed mountain. In addition the reflection is disrupted by various and sundry things protruding from the water. The reflection is cluttered, at least at the size presented. Maybe a large print would be better.
I don't find any discordant elements. There's a mountain with a body of water below it. Common. Common. Give me a shot of a camel on an ice flow and I'll be wondering what the #### is going on. There's nothing discordant or unusual about this image. My eye isn't drawn from area to area in an attempt to reconcile the differences.
Now when I first glanced at the dune shot the impression was that I was seeing something created by a computer artist in a hurry. A huge swath of solid vivid color, little detail.
A second later I'm seeing these incredibly detailed peaks. Something totally different from the first impression. That snapped me back a bit. I experienced an immense "interplay of conflicting elements".
But, hey!, that's just my opinion....

In both of the building examples, they look as though they are falling over. While this does create tension, most people would immedaitely claim the image had been badly composed because the buildings are crooked.
I think that people naturally try to acheive balance, and follow rules when they compose an image. Some of this can be subconcious. I know I struggle sometimes with trying to crop through an object in an image, even though this can lead to a more effective composition. My natural tendency is to include the entire object.
Tension can be used to keep people's attention and catch their eye, but I think it is something that most people naturally try to avoid. When someone composes a photograph, they may naturally try to blance the elements so there is no tension withou really thinking about it. In the process they may be reducing their chances of creating a more effective image.

I don't think "tension" is what makes a mediocre photograph (or worse) into something wonderful. My waste can is full of crummy photos with lots of "tension." Seems every photo must exclude something. Show the woman's other eye and then wonder does she have ears. Where does it end and you admit it is just an mediocre photo?

The best way to bother my mother was to start a scale on the piano beginning with, say, middle C and continue upward to B, omitting the final C note.
She would have to leave whatever she was doing, come to the piano and play the final C. Most people wouldn't even notice what, in her, caused great tension.
Good point! But I'm not sure most people wouldn't notice that. The final missing semi-tone is not much, for sure, but it's effect is very 'tension' producing for anyone with an ear for music. In fact, there are some good analogies to be drawn from the music world, regarding tension.
Imagine an 18th century audience of the aristocracy, packed into a large drawing room, listening to the mellifluous, harmonius and soothing tones of a Mozart concerto. Imagine a brief pause, then the orchestra launches into an exciting part of the Rite of Spring, or the final few chords of Ravel's Bolero (I'd include some extreme examples of pop music (AC/DC ?) but that would be stretching credulity to the limit).
The effect, I'm sure, would be devastating. The women would suffer from palpitations and headaches for weeks thereafter, the men would engage in law suits against the orchestra (for emotional damage - but perhaps that only applies to modern America) and/or the members of the orchestra would be banished from polite society for ever more.
The purchase of Jackson Pollack's painting 'Blue Poles' in Australia during the Whitlam government era (1970's), caused an outcry. A million dollars for that pile of c**p, many folks said (or thought but didn't say because they were too polite).
Funny thing, art! But science is a bit bizarre at times. Anyone tried to make sense out the theory of Quantum Mechanics, lately?

Howard, In my experience people don't read pictures like text, they often begin in the lower left and take an anti clockwise curve round the image back to the lower left. Then they move to the highlights and then shadows.
There is a simple way to see this in action, place a video camera where you can wath the eye movements and hand the person a few photos! You'll not see it with your eyes, slow the video down and then you see the eye movements.
For a sound result you'll need to do 25-100 people!

Red, he must be dressed for english tea
And as for the .45, From Woody Allen - Standup Comic - Years ago, my mother gave me a bullet...a bullet, and I put it in my breast pocket. Two years after that, I was walking down the street, when a berserk evangelist heaved a Gideon bible out a hotel room window, hitting me in the chest. Bible would have gone through my heart if it wasn't for the bullet.
Would there be tension on the picture of the bible at the decisive moment of impact?

Unresolved tension can lead to frustration. Rather than get frustrated with the lake image, I just gave up. No lasting memory.
The dunes may have tension from the cropped peaks, but I don't feel it. I too like the colors, curves and light on the dunes. I don't wonder about what isn't there, but keep moving around what is there. It's an image of the dunes, not the dunes and mountains in the background. Someone here said perfection is when there is nothing left to remove. The mountains would have added nothing to the dunes, except to perhaps help identify where they are. There is no need to know this is Death Valley. No caption needed to explain the image. It doesn't matter which dunes they are. The image is about shapes, light and color. Perhaps that is why Michael found the bland sky annoying and removed it.
Ansel Adams did this. I love his image of cliffs and snow reflected in a mountan lake. I never really knew (or cared) where it was. But one day, I found myself sitting and looking at that exact scene in Kings Canyon. Wow, did that make an impression. I just sat and looked. Now THAT is a great photograph.

If I look at the phjotograph of the monument in London, and consider what it would look like if the pillar wwere parallel to the frame; would it have the same impact. I don't think it would. The composition would be more static, and wouldn't hold my attention as long. Even if I don't really care for a photograph overall, it can still have tnesion in it.
I understand the subjective nature of the topic very well. Even if there was way to quantify tension, it wouldn't neccesarily lead to better images. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I think that if I study different images and try to understand what meks them effective, then I might get better myself. Tension is something that I keep hearing about all the time, maybe if I understand it better I will be able to use it as well. It's pretty competitive out there, and technical proficiency is not going be enough to make my images stand out and get attention. I need to get better at the artistic side as well, a lot better.

I noticed recently a self portrait by Jonathan Wienke on the Sony F828 thread, demonstrating the qualities of the Canon 35-350 zoom at 70mm. The download stopped just below his eyes. I wasn't sure if this was an attempt at being avant-garde, or just a bug in the system - but it did produce a bit of tension.
It is a print-sized file, so viewing on a 1600x1200 monitor will only show the upper right quadrant of my hat unless you engage the scroll bars. It's not intended as an exercise in tension, unless you are on a dial-up connection!

Well Ray, we see the car-Eiffel Tower and the woman's portrait quite differently. I am not familiar enough with Citroen autos to know that is the kind of car it is. So, as an ad, it doesn't sell me a car any more than it does the camera it was taken with. No, I don't wonder what drama may be playing out on the top of the Tower, any more than I wonder if there is a dead body in the trunk.
Now the woman's portrait. It is a nice picture, not uch more. No, I don't need to see her other eye. I am willing to assume it looks very much like the one I can se and I don't wonder if she has a glass eye or a shiner. I am willing to assume she also has two ears, two arms and two legs but don't need to see them.
Neither photo is what I call "wall art." I can't imagine hanging either in my home.

Maybe it's just me. I see two big bits of house leaning from the bottom left to the top right. The tree on the right of the frame kind of goes from the bottom right to the top left.

It is interesting that Ray suggested flipping the image horizontally. People who read text left to right tend to read photos the same way. Starting at the left, the eye immediately runsinto the bright sky behind the trees. Bright means stop. So it is hard for us left-to-righters to find your way across the scene. Then the bright window in the center s another "go here and stop" point. All in all, I don't think the scene flows to well even though there is some movement.

Ray, you say "Schzooom! Straight to the figures in red." Schzooom from where? Certainly not the lower right corner. I tried to be fair and I think the first thing I stop at is the top part of the tree, then the figures below. I still say "Schzooom. From the upper left to the tree top to the red."
As for what they are talking about. I know. It is their modeling fee. Now, what are you going to do with that bit of information? It is useless in the context of the photo, just as the photo being taken is of no consequence to the figures, so who really cares. Might as well wonder who the tailor was that whipped up the red garment. And why red?

Ok I got to thinking about Sean Smith's lack of interceptions and decided for ****s and giggles to review the parcels then ireland draft era. I remember briefly someone saying Jake was the lone survivor of the 2008 draft, a draft that by all rights was completely a parcels' draft. Then 2009 etc, and i'm wondering if 2009 is going to look like the 2008 next year. Is is possible that vonte is the lone survivor of the 2009 draft? How horrendous has our drafting been just in the last 4 years? Has it gotten better?2008 draft. (9 picks)

What can you share with the world?
TEDxYouthDay is a series of TEDx events happening all around the world coinciding with Universal Children's Day, from November 19th – 21st, 2011. These events are designed to empower and inspire young people.
These events will vary widely in size, format and theme, but they will share a common vision: inspiring curiosity, igniting new ideas and empowering young leaders.
There are over 100 TEDxYouthDay events in nearly 50 countries happening this year. Individual events will feature their own unique themes, and the overarching theme for TEDxYouthDay 2011 is Play, Learn, Build & Share, chosen by the TEDx community.
In preparation for these amazing, global events, we are collecting answers to the question:
What can you share with the world?
Nov 25 2011: The knowledge that I would like to share with the world would be a pearl of ancient Indian wisdom that says: "keep clean the house of your thoughts", because it is your thoughts that create reality.Nov 21 2011: Sing a little, dance a little, laugh a little, cry a little, give a little, take a little, dream a little, enjoy a little, and LIVE A LOT :)
Cooper Couch
Nov 15 2011: I would like to share with the world that you are not alone. If nothing else, you always have yourself, no matter what.

I heard a poem the other day: One Art by Elizabeth Bishop. If you're feeling lonely or you've lost someone or something important recently, I recommend reading this poem. Bishop is writing about how "the art of losing isn't hard to master" and how losing things, places, and people "isn't a disaster". So many times I have caught myself focusing on how alone I feel because of what I've lost, whom I've lost, and/or how I've lost them. We lose things everyday, whether it's something minutely important or someone we love. It's inevitable. Hearing this poem helped me realize that it's important to accept loss as it comes, but, even more than that, to recognize that I am still here. I still have a life to live. I still have goals, dreams, and a passion to share what I've experienced with others. Losing someone or something isn't the end of the world, although sometimes it may feel like a disaster. You will always have yourself, and you are growing everyday. You are unique. You have talents. You have positive attributes. Build upon these things.
Nov 15 2011: Hi Cooper, thank you so much for sharing this! It is really true that we should always feel grateful for what we have. :)Nov 25 2011: Love the ideas that you shared. Yes, it is easy to get stuck and focus on what you lost: Youth, loved one, etc, but we have been given life to recognize and mourn these losses and still be inspired to go on with the present life that we have.Nov 7 2011: I can help others change the world with my passion. Passion is contagious and if I go at everything at life with passion others will follow. Leading by example is without a doubt the best way to lead.Nov 24 2011: I believe that the number one thing that I share with the world is my passion for looking at things from different perspectives. None of us thinks exactly alike, so why do we look at the world in terms of black or white or Democrat or Republican, etc.? I challenge all around me to think about things differently. To question. To strive to find the best solutions, not just the pleasing answers or the popular ones.
In my own life, this has helped me with my "Can do" spirit. If I believe I can do something, I'll do it. There have been many times in my life when people looked at me with only one perspective and told me things like "You can't do that." I have proven them wrong over and over again by the belief that we shape ourselves and one of the ways we accomplish this is by not being afraid to pick an alternate path, or only assuming that there can only be one right answer.
Nov 24 2011: Precious....insightful.....introspective....true:>)Nov 23 2011: I can share my passion for the study of Neuroscience, and working with people who have disabilities. Along with these passions, I can share my positive energy and determination to create change.
Ron Burnett
Nov 19 2011: I can share this thought. I am the President of a university and to me PLAY is what learning is about. And, in the digital world we are learning to play together on a massive scale and consequently finding many more ways of interacting with each other. This naturally leads to team work and collaboration, two other characteristics of play that we need to incorporate into our schools everywhere.

Debra Smith
Nov 13 2011: All I can share is the perspective from my place in the universe and some love and encouragement.
- +1
Addition: Oh yes, and my kids!Nov 7 2011: I do not have a lot of things to share, beside my smile that comes right from the heart. Can you imagine, what if people start doing that? Aren't we going to change the world with our smile? Big things always come from simple things. Start your day with a smile and see how that's going to change your day.
And yes I can also share my time, to listen people's hardships. Don't have to know them and give them opinion. Just listen, and yes they admit they feel better :)
Nov 7 2011: Thanks for this, Sherley!
Kat Haber
Nov 3 2011: How teens can put on their own TEDxYouth events.

Failing up, making more mistakes, laughing beyond belief, taking more risks.
What teens in Homer, Alaska have taught me.Oct 27 2011: Unconditional love:>)

I can share two things
My compassion for putting things to right in a broken world
My photography; Beauty is everywhere
Oct 28 2011: You are correct, MIchale M, beauty is everywhere. Awful things, however, happen in a beautiful world. One must come to terms with that.
Oct 31 2011: Lynn
You are correct. Awful things do happen. I see your pic through the camera lens. I love photography. Sometimes even capturing that awfulness, brings to the forefront of time and space not the lack of beauty, but the need for it in a sometimes awful world.Nov 27 2011: The things I can share are my experiences and knowledge, which range from living and studying in the UK to volunteering in an International School in India and few things in between like being a lawyer. Living, studying and working in different countries gives a person different perspectives. These perspectives will not be agreed by everyone, but it gives a new opinion and dimension. I firmly believe in collaboration and working together. Someone from any corner of the world could learn something from this and indeed I will learn something from somebody's experiences and knowledge.
And Cloe thanks for posting the question.Nov 25 2011: well ,i think the thing i would to share is that"whatever happens never think that it's too early or too late to chase your dreams"
most of poeple think they're so young to change the world ,to speak up their own opinion ,others think they are old to act and to pursue their goals so both they just give or wait for a miracle so "don't ask for a miracle just be it" is other idea i wanna shareNov 24 2011: The power of looking at things in a different perspective and never judging anyone by the
look or sound of them.
The power of being and thinking different- I think this is the most important thing to begin some kind of change.
Dennis. :)Nov 24 2011: UnderstandingNov 22 2011: The power of music to move and inspire people.Nov 22 2011: I thought I would unload some of my SUPER optimistic crazy on you. Understand there's more than meets the eye. An example would be the Second Life thing, that is meant to help spread economy. There's as much social science, as physical science. If you really look you will see this is holistic.
Nov 25 2011: Let me see if I get it right: ''The idea is to write a book that inspires people to do what the book says"."Think of the book as a screenplay or business plan for the world". "The idea is to write a book that inspires people to do what the book says". "Think of the book as a screenplay or business plan for the world". "The plan is to use the book to tell people about ideas, people can then buy (...) and on a daily basis feel they are doing something big". "Reality starts to mirror the book and the ball is rolling". "My idea is simply to get as many people that can agree, to agree". "People are asked to do something they were going to do anyway". "Make it as easy as possible for people to do what you want them to do". "Make it so everyone can see everyone who is participating, and who is not". "The idea is to write a book that inspires people to do what the book says". "The book should be as accurate as possible as to be the manual". "Showing people what to do and what will happen when they do". "The plan uses these ideas to create momentum". "The name of the book "Urania, Starry Messenger, Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile".
For God's sake, Faja, the idea looks to me very scary, as the history of the world is red with the blood caused by too many such books that wanted to inoculate people with their ideas and make them follow smart people's agendas - the difference, yours is "selling" them the ideas - a "sweeter" coercion. No matter what your intention behind, beware not to make again "Earth cry". As good God gave brains to everyone, let's allow people think their own ideas, without us making them any "fishing poles" to lure them into our own ideas. The more so as these ideas are seemingly aiming at building a consented "Urania" type discipline and hierarchy, where, as you say, "The way I see it, H2OPE and The A.R.C. help in both directions the have-rs, and the have nots". Please let go of it.Nov 22 2011: The plan is complicated to explain, so please bear with me. I have a few ideas that seem like one thing, but turns out they are many things. The plan uses these ideas to create momentum. The ideas are in the attachments, they each say a lot without me (what do they say to you). I've used everything from names, to the only art I've ever produced to express the plan. So needless to say the plan is in a very raw state and requires someone to decipher what I'm trying to say. I'm a person who does everything in my mind. And I find it difficult to put this into words. The plan requires the ideas to have merit, which I believe they do. The last and biggest idea is beyond me, but it feels right. One person with influence to be influenced. And the ball is rolling. I understand how ambitious this is, but I believe it all to be possible.
My idea is simply to get as many people that can agree, to agree, and for each part of the plan to do as much as possible. The first part is to get the people who influence us to agree. First leading scientist, then they influence the celebrities who have money to donate, and huge access to help spread ideas (Ashton Kutcher has 4 million twitter followers). The unifier is H2O. People are asked to do something they were going to do anyway. Make it as easy as possible for people to do what you want them to do. Make it so everyone can see everyone who is participating, and who is not. The whole thing is to be as open as can possibly be. Everyone is aware of the plan and has positive feelings about what is happening. If you give someone a fish, you'll have to give them another fish, but if you give them a fishing pole... The way I see it, we have the ability to ease the burden on so many things if we just did a few things. If people have the ability to sustain themselves (EASILY), they are less likely to burden.Nov 22 2011: Please keep an open mind. The idea is to write a book that inspires people to do what the book says. The book is the fictional story of The Second Foundation bringing these ideas (H2OPE, The A.R.C., and S.O.R.O.S.) to reality. Think of the book as a screenplay or business plan for the world. It would use computer modeling to get as close as possible to what could happen. It would sprinkle planned events through the book, that will happen after the book is out. For example, in chapter 2, there could be this charity ball where Oprah buys a bottle of H2OPE for a million dollars, this would then take place in real life (right on cue). This kind of thing, would be spread all through the book. The roll of a lifetime, an appearance in the book that aims to change the world. The book should be as accurate as possible as to be the manual. Showing people what to do and what will happen when they do. The book will show that by purchasing the H2OPE all that will happen. H2OPE (message in a bottle) is the unifier. It has many attributes, it can be quantified, by being distinctive it allows people to see others following the plan, this is a critical component for generating faith. It is easy to market; 1) buy one and someone in the world gets one for free; 2) start a collection (messages are infinite) your collection shows your contribution and can be used during an emergency; 3) use to teach another language, show duck in multiple languages; 4) use code or rfid to link to web sites generating traffic i.e. get Linden Dollars in Second Life; many marketing strategies are available. The idea is to release H2OPE at the same time as the book. Reality starts to mirror the book and the ball is rolling. This is by no means the whole plan.Nov 22 2011: Everything has a density. The A.R.C. is a self assembling, rigid domicile that comes in a barrel with all the bells and whistles needed to create a harmonious circle with the Earth (Including access to www and Your Baby Can Read, imagine a literate world). This would be that fishing pole. I can point to so many ways this would help. The idea is not to get the whole world living in one of these, only the people who want to. Obviously there are third world people dying for a home. But, imagine the amount of disposable income a fast food worker would have if he had no rent, no energy bill, and could produce some healthy food. This world can't sustain us all having what we have now, this gives something in someways better and surely with a super small carbon footprint. All the while, expanding and pushing the cost of important technologies down. I can point to all needed technology. Priced for people who have nothing (micro financed), and priced for people who have something, who want to prepare for emergency; possibly sold with electric vehicles. The S.O.R.O.S.. is complicated, I'll let you use your imagination, but I will say I see it as a tool for wealth redistribution. ALL of this will be controlled by the Second Foundation who will be responsible for more than just humanity. I have tons of little ideas that nest in there that help. The plan is to use the book to tell people about ideas, people can then buy H2OPE and on a daily basis feel they are doing something big. Each idea is meant to help create the next. I hope to have the opportunity to explain this in better detail. I dream too big sometimes. What if 10 million people a day bought H2OPE ($1), and 10% was for the next idea. The name of the book "Urania, Starry Messenger, Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile". Please muse these ideas there's much to see. The way I see it, H2OPE and The A.R.C. help in both directions the have-rs, and the have nots.Nov 22 2011: That's a secret...:-)Nov 21 2011: I love connecting with people on twitter ( twitter.com/TheNishKaps ) where I can put ideas, thoughts, words of wisdom, jokes, quotes, and just about anything that comes to mind that I feel I should share with others. I also share my ideas through my youtube channel ( youtube.com/TheNishKaps ) where I like to put all sorts of videos from how to win an election, to raps, to monologues, to getting over break ups, and other random funny stuff. One of the greatest contributions we can make in society is sharing our ideas and thoughts, because there's no point in coming up with brilliant ideas if your not going to spread them with others. Keep playing, keep building, keep learning, and remember to keep sharing!Nov 20 2011: i'd like to share my enthusiasm with network analysis methods and NYSE stocks trading; at least that's what i imagine myself doing 50 years from now. and of course, sharing my knowledge to my future patients when i finally become a physician!
to all the youth and the young-at-heart like me, long live and prosper!Nov 20 2011: This is what we are doing in Denver CO www.thecollaboratory.com check out the ability centerNov 20 2011: Major sharing going on today at TEDxYouth events globally.
Way to collaborate everyone! Thank you for sharing so generously.Nov 19 2011: I would like to share with the world that we can create world peace and sustainability on Earth and we must for the sake of all life on Earth. Enclosed is a blog of my blogs with each representing an idea that I have to try to help create Peace on Earth. Please click on it and see how you can contribute to the idea of creating world peace and sustainability!
Congratulations To TED YOUTHDay and TEDxYouth Day participants all around the world. I have been watching all day and they are all great. I can't wait till the next one! This was a great success.
Together We can change the world.
To all of the world leaders and followers, let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with you and me!Nov 19 2011: I can share the thought that we should be our unique selves and never be afraid to speak out our minds.We need to appreciate individuality :)Nov 19 2011: All I can share is the knowledge i posses and a smile :)Nov 19 2011: The very success of this world is directly linked to raising up a generation of young people, that know their purpose in life and have the support to help them get there. Thank youNov 17 2011: What can I do to share the world?
Well, I will go around singing happy, fun songs to the sick children of kids' hospitals. I would sing songs that could cheer up the saddest kids, kids with cancer, kids with diabetes, kids that even just have a common cold. I would make them happy. Everyone deserves a smile and a laugh. :)Nov 16 2011: What we have to offer the world is the incredible joy and passion that we have in our hearts, the strong spirit to tackle the problems that come every day, the ingenuity to solve these problems, imagination and positivity to always see the bright side of all, the love we have for our society and community and the desire to succeed no matter the circumstances are.Nov 14 2011: I've started sharing my experience as a graduate with current school students in Jordan through Ta7weeleh Initiative. The 'sharing' here is that of knowledge and experience from those who were once students and have graduated and grown up to find their passion. They are introducing the school students to their journey and their passions in an attempt at helping them find theirs.Nov 13 2011: We need to learn from the schools that go to the limits, that are attempts at the full implementation on the rights of the child, sadly state schools can have so many limitations of imposed values of exams, assessments, national curriculums... that we can not find them there. One example is A.S.Neill's Summerhill School, for 90 years 'surpassing expectations' for its implementation on the rights of the child (secretary of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child 2000). It has just recieved a good to outstanding Ofsetd inspection - outstanding for citizenship and community and justice. In 1949 the inspectors said, all educationalist should visit it to see this exciting experiment. Now people like Sir Ken Robinson say, let it be moved from the fringe to the manistream. I can offer talks, workshops and resources to get children thinking about what is possible in schools and children's communities - using staff and children from the school. Let's create debate, let's stimulate ideas, let's get the children to create change, in partnership with the adults.Nov 9 2011: Knowledge is the only thing I can share with the world at this stage of my life as I'm still a student.Nov 6 2011: I taught myself many things (Computers, animation, filming and more) because
adults and schools told me I was too young;
or they were really expensive.
I want to use my talents
to motivate others,
make people laugh,
Make them think;
spread awareness.
Show the world; other people have talents.

Ham, Egg & Manchego Breakfast Muffins
In my family growing up we always had our big Christmas dinner celebration on Christmas Eve. This meant that Christmas day could be left stress-free to enjoy whatever Santa might have delivered as well as each others company without the insanity of running around preparing a huge meal afterward. Of course being that my family is a bunch of Virginians, you know this feast was sure to include a huge country ham which we would pick at for days.
A whole ham is still a tradition of mine for the holidays which means I've gotten to play with different ways to use the leftover ham. This recipe is a current favorite for Christmas morning. After the feast is over the night before I just cut up the ham I need for the morning and shred my cheese. Then it's just the super quick assemble of these irresistible breakfast muffins and 15 minutes in the oven before they are ready to be devoured. Pretty much less time than it takes to open presents! Another fabulous thing about this breakfast "muffin" is that you can pretty much throw whatever you want in these awesome little crescent roll crusts. Why not go crazy and put leftover turkey, stuffing and a spoon full of gravy beneath that cracked egg? Or if your holiday protein of choice is a prime rib roast, cube that up and throw it in with some leftover mashed potatoes and blue cheese. The world is your breakfast muffin! Wait, is the saying "the world is your oyster"? Does that mean it should be, "The breakfast muffin is your oyster"? Regardless, these things are highly addictive so I suggest on making several batches if you have a crowd larger than 2. Just sayin.
Soooooo I might have gone a little photo crazy while making these. Just in case you had any questions as to the process, this string of photos should clear that right up.
First your roll your dough out.
Then cut that dough in half to make squares…
…or a muffin tin with a square of dough.
Add a healthy dose of ham and cheese to each of the lined muffins (or ramekins)
Finally crack an egg on top and pop those suckers into the oven!
*This post is sponsored by Pillsbury. All contents and opinions are my own.
1 package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 count)
4 oz Manchego cheese, shredded
8 oz country or smoked ham, either shredded or in cubes
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
8 eggs
flour, for dusting
cooking spray
freshly cracked black pepper, for garnishing
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray either 8 ramekins or 8 muffin tin molds lightly with cooking spray. Set aside
Open the can of crescent roll dough and remove from container. The crescents are packaged in a roll of 4 perforated rectangles containing 2 crescents per rectangle. Do not separate the perforated crescents. Dust a clean work surface with flour. Place one whole rectangle of dough onto the floured work surface. Dust dough and rolling pin lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Using the rolling pin, roll the dough into about an 8"x4" solid rectangle. Cut in half width-wise to create two 4"x4" squares. Take 1 dough square and line the inside of 1 ramekin/muffin tin mold and press the dough into the container lining the bottom and sides of the mold. Repeat this process with the rest of remaining dough until all of the molds are lined with crusts.
Sprinkle 1/2 oz of shredded Manchego into the bottom of 1 crust. Place 1 oz ham on top of cheese then sprinkle with a pinch of chopped parsley. Repeat this process in each crust. Crack one egg on top of each filled breakfast muffin. If using ramekins, place all ramekins onto a sheet pan before baking for easier maneuverability.
Place breakfast muffins into the preheated oven. Bake at 375 for about 14-16 minutes or until the egg whites have just set. Remove from oven and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately or let cool to room temperature store refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Muffins are delicious served warm, at room temperature or cold.

But it still doesn't belong in the same classroom as science.
Proposed "truth in education" legislation by Republican state Sen. Dennis Kruse of Auburn won't mention the terms "creationism" or "intelligent design" or "evolution," but don't doubt for a second that this is one more attempt to force a religious debate into science classrooms. The General Assembly should have none of it.
His previous attempt was more straightforward. It would not have mandated creationism to be taught along with evolution, but it would have allowed school districts to mandate it. The bill actually made it out of the Senate but was killed in the House because of concerns over legal challenges. Those concerns were more than justified given that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1987 that teaching "creation science" in public schools is unconstitutional if the purpose is to "advance a particular religion."
The current effort is more creative. The legislation would allow students to question teachers and demand proof if they think something isn't true. At that point, Kruse told the Indianapolis Star, "the teacher would have to come up with some kind of research to support that what they are teaching is true or not." The burden on teachers would be great. "It's just another thing to add to the myriad of hoops teachers have to jump through" is the way it was put by Nate Schellenberger, a former biology teacher and president of the Indiana State Teachers Association.
And make no mistake how that "search for truth" is meant to be used. Similar bills have been passed in Louisiana and Tennessee, and they have been used so far to encourage students to question scientific theories and protect teachers who teach creationism. It's also easy to imagine students gaming the process and creating all sorts of havoc. OK, teacher, prove we actually landed on the moon. And, oh, while you're at it, prove it isn't made of green cheese.
This is a big mess waiting to happen. And if the experience in Louisiana and Tennessee is any indication, there will be exactly the same kind of lawsuits there would be if a creationism bill had passed.
As we have said here before, it would be wrong to keep religion out of schools altogether. Our society has suffered in recent years by the misguided efforts of some people to chase all religion from our public spaces, as if a creche in a park or a Bible on teacher's desk would somehow corrupt us.
But that does not mean religion and science can co-exist in the same classroom. Science is about discovering what can be known, by testing hypotheses with experimentation. A theory stands until it is disproved. Religion is about faith in something beyond easy comprehension, and beliefs can never be proven or disproved – you either have them or you don't. To equate religion and science is to diminish them both.

In previous games, there was a way for me to craft spells of varying degrees of effectiveness via spell-crafting stations. Is there a way for me to do so in Skyrim?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No there is not. It's possible to create your own potions with different effects, and to enchant items. But spell crafting is not possible within Skyrim.
There is no way in Skyrim to craft your own spells. Learning spells is strictly from spellbooks.
They probably removed spellmaking because of the obvious trouble someone could get into making 9 different feather spells, or a fireball that has an area of 50 feet.

- fill in the form at the back of our leaflet (including the easy read leaflet)
- use the online complaints form
- phone us on 0121 303 5161 (choose option one).
If you use the form in the leaflet, you do not need a stamp.
You can choose Mediation as a way of resolving your complaint at any point in the process.
In mediation, you and the manager of the service meet to talk about the issues in your complaint and agree how to deal with them. This can help to resolve the complaint quickly. The aim of the mediation meeting is:
- to allow you and the manager to talk openly about the issues you have raised
- to agree what actions will help to deal with these issues
- to agree a date when these actions will happen by.
We will also be in the meeting, to make sure the mediation process is fair and to write the minutes.
We send you and the manager draft copies of the minutes within 5 working days of the meeting, and ask you to comment on them or agree them within another 5 days. Where possible, we ask the manager to undertake the agreed actions within 4 weeks of the meeting.
If you feel that mediation has not dealt with your concerns, you have the choice to continue with Stage 1 or 2 of the complaints process.
Stage 1 Making your complaint to us
We will speak to you about the best way for you to deal with your complaint, and agree the next steps with you. We might suggest that you speak to staff from the service you are complaining about, or arrange a meeting with you, a senior member of staff and a member of staff from the Customer Care and Citizen Involvement Team.
We will do our best to sort out your complaint, but if you are still not happy at the end of this stage, you can refer your complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman.
Stage 2 Local Government Ombudsman
The Local Government Ombudsman is an independent service that investigates complaints about councils.
You can ask them for advice at any time, but they will usually pass the complaint back to us if you have not gone through our complaints procedure first. They will look at your complaint and decide whether to investigate.
For complaints about adult social care services, contact the Local Government Ombudsman via their website below:
We can provide you with an interpreter if your first language is not English. We do not charge you for this.
Independent advocates
If you need an independent advocate (representative), the Customer Care and Citizen Involvement Team can arrange for one free of charge to help you speak up and promote your rights and interests.
Other organisations
You may want to speak to other organisations for advice and support about making a complaint. You can phone the Birmingham Carers' Centre on 0121 675 8000 or get in touch with Citizens Advice at www.citizensadvice.org.uk

Report: Cavaliers offer Celtics two second round picks for Pierce
Jun 23, 2013, 11:09 AM EDT
Can you say lowball…
The Boston Celtics in the next few days are going to make a decision on whether to bring back Paul Pierce next year at $15 million or buy him out for $5 million (and if he stays or goes will be tied to the decisions of Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett).
The Cavaliers want to help out the Celtics. And by help out I mean steal from. They made a trade offer to the Celtics, reports the News Herald (Sam Amico of Fox Sports was first with this rumor).
The Cavs have likely spoken to the Celtics about small forward Paul Pierce's availability. The latest rumor is the Cavs offering their two second-round picks for the 35-year-old Pierce. Pierce's $15.3 million contract for next year would become guaranteed if he's dealt.
You should take all rumors this time of year with a grain of salt, and this one you can add a few grains. This comes out of Cavs sources and there is little chance Boston gives this deal much thought. But they will give the idea of trading him some thought.
Two second round picks isn't equal value, but for Boston if you're going to buy him out, isn't some kind of compensation better than spending $5 million to have him walk away for nothing?
Cavaliers' owner Dan Gilbert has said he is tired of the lottery and wants to make the playoffs next year. This would be a step in that direction without shortcutting the rebuilding process much, so it makes sense to at least throw it out there. But don't bet on it.

Bring the Truth and KG back! If Doc wants out let him. These boys deserve to retire wearing clover green!
- podunk001 - Jun 23, 2013 at 10:05 PM
I think KG's made it clear he'd be perfectly happy to have a chance at a title in LA. I think both KG and PP will always be respected in Boston regardless of where they finish their career and see their #'s on the rafters. I can't imagine Pierce would be happy in Cleveland in another rebuilding effort. If the Celtics don't want to pay him his $15M I'm sure he wants to be with a contender. Thats where they both can be great contributors. I also think they can have another good year in Boston, just not likely a champion ship. I too hope they stay.
- gymtruthteller - Jun 23, 2013 at 9:13 PM
DO IT. I want to see Pierce pissed. This would be so awesome
- podunk001 - Jun 23, 2013 at 9:50 PM
The Cavs know the Celts may pay PP $5M to avoid paying him $15M by Friday and get nothing in return. For two 2nd round picks the Celtics can save themselves $5M. What I'm not sure about is why the Cavs want to pay him $15M. I'm a Celtic fan and if they bring both KG and PP back they'll still be a playoff team, but not a contender unless Green, Bradley or Sullinger "significantly" raises their game to a level no one is expecting. Celts should either keep PP and KG or get rid of them both. Without them both it's unlikely they even make the playoffs. They are both still very valuable to a contender, especially KG. If KG joins Doc with either Griffin or Howard that team will be even odds with Miami for next years championship. (Assuming CP3 stays.)
- bougin89 - Jun 24, 2013 at 10:13 AM
This offer is all about the Celtics saving $5 million. Why would a team offer a lot when they know their is a good chance the Celtics just buyout Pierce and if that happens they can sign him outright for much cheaper than $15 million. Does anyone expect the Celtics to receive a much better trade offer at this point?
With that being said, I'd be shocked if this trade goes down, I think it would be a PR disaster for the Celtics. Their will still be a lot of Pierce fans if/after he leaves the Celtics, I don't think they would think too highly of the Celtics decision to ship him to a rebuilding team to play out the twilight of his career.
- nickpatrick02 - Jun 24, 2013 at 11:53 AM
Does everyone realize that his has nothing to do with the Cavs wanting Pierce? Not too long ago, Lebron stated that he considered Paul Pierce to be his biggest rival and largest threat. Well the team that was burned by James is hoping they can somehow get revenge by getting Pierce. Sadly, Pierce is nowhere near where he used to be, so this trade would be a complete waste.
- bougin89 - Jun 25, 2013 at 5:29 PM
That's not why they would trade for PP. You can't really believe that, right?

Submission + - Gut Bacteria Conspired in Melamine Poisonings ->
sciencehabit writes: In 2008, nearly 300,000 infants in China got sick from milk formula tainted with melamine, a plastics additive that was used illegally to bulk up the formula's apparent protein content. Now, a study in rats implicates bacteria living in the gut as unwitting accomplices in this mass poisoning. The bacteria convert some melamine to cyanuric acid, whichwas present in high concentrations in fatal kidney stones. The work helps clarify how melamine toxicity arises and also drives home the key role that gut bacteria play in human health.

Zone 2 on my receiver wouldn't allow me to play Pandora from my Blue Ray Receiver...but with Pandora and my iPhone no problem with the Onkyo UP-A1 dock. Great Product! Cons: You can't dock your iPhone with a case on it :( Also maybe a longer cord would be nice... 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Onkyo UP-A1 Written By JoelL, Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, January 27, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have enjoyed the Onkyo UP-A1 so far. It was easy to set-up. My only complaint is that it is stated that the i-nan0 menu appears on the screen and such is not the case, much to my displeasure. After researching the situation with Crutchfield, i was informed that the problem is with the capability of my Onkyo receiver. When ordering the UP-A1 from Crutchfield, who knew my receiver, they said the menu would appear. Since i only use this product occasionally, it is not a big deal, but would have appreciated that knowledge before purchase. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent attachment Written By CheapTechie, Corpus Christi, TX on Sunday, January 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was thinking it would have the same display the that the iPod/iPhone uses, and that I could also perhaps watch movies or other media stored on the iPhone. This is not the case. A generic format is displayed on the TV to use the iPod program on the iPhone only. It still allows you to view all your song/artist/album albums and allows you all the capabilities you would normally have, but you cannot view your album artwork on your TV while it plays. The compatible controller is great. You can control all the features of the iPod on your iPhone (iPod) very easily with the Receiver's remote control, which is pretty nice. You can play the audio through some other programs on your iPhone through the Receiver directly using the controls on the iPhone itself while in the dock (you cannot use the remote control in this instance - the remote & TV are only setup to work with the iPod features). So, programs like Pandora will play through the Receiver, which is GREAT! Seriously, being able to play Pandora is really nice and perhaps one of my favorite features about this, and the audio quality is stunning! I did not and would not pay full price for the accessory. I mean, come on, this is a solid percentage of the cost for an entire receiver, and it's just an attachment. This type of price gouging is exactly why so many customers seek cheap sketchy internet vendors. But...I still say I love the product - not the price. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Easy to use, easy to install, great product Written By withag, Houston, TX on Saturday, June 26, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently purchased the ONKYO TXSR608 to upgrade to 3d and went ahead and included the ipod dock as well as the HD radio tuner. The entire combination was extremely easy to install. Crutchfield after purchase service was fantastic help when teaching me how to toggle between AM, FM, HD, and ipod. Plugged this in to the HD Tuner which plugged into the receiver. The receiver only has a slot for one but it's not a problem as the HD Tuner has a slot for the ipod dock to plug into so you're just piggybacking. I'm very happy with my entire purchase and would highly recommending you add this to your ONKYO receiver combination. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Midwest Living Review
These huge city gardens -- each with distinct personalities -- rightfully reign as St. Cloud's top attraction with a riot of color, texture and serene settings that never fail to impress, even if you don't know a hosta from hollyhock.Munsinger Gardens were planted about 90 years ago alongside the Mississippi River and across the water from St. Cloud State University. Hosta-lined paths meander and curve past swaths of lush begonias and coleus; granite urns overflowing with sweet potato vines; a vintage log tourist cabin, wishing well and stream; and an historic ox-head fountain that's a nod to the area's location along ox-cart trade routes. Musicians perform free concerts on Sunday afternoons, when there are $1 root beer floats for sale.You can then stroll up hosta-lined paths to the hilltop Clemens Gardens. They're another world with full sunshine, geometric designs, warm brick walkways, a sprawling iron treillage, and several fountains that give it a distinctively European feel. The six themed gardens, which were planted in the 1990s, are planned by color (red, blue, yellow and orange), species (Virginia Clemens' Rose Garden) or inspiration (a White Garden that mimics one at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, England). The centerpiece of Clemens Gardens is the Renaissance Fountain with Cranes, a 24-foot fountain designed from an old Victorian pattern. Best of all: Both gardens are free.
