News flash! In one of the more remote parts of the Guatemalan rainforest, researchers have unearthed an ancient Maya inscription that refers to 2012—the famed "end point" of the Maya calendar—and only the second such mention yet known. The date appears towards the end of a hieroglyphic text carved on a limestone block produced at the end of the 7th-century CE at La Corona, Guatemala. Calendrical reckonings count forward to anticipate two events: the end of the 10th Bak'tun in 830 and the end of the 13th Bak'tun in 2012.
According to Simon Martin, Co-Curator of MAYA 2012: Lords of Time, "It is a perfect illustration of the main role of the 'Long Count' calendar to promote the reign of kings by embedding their rule within past, present, and future time. They saw their dynasties governing for hundreds and even thousands of years to come—all in accord with the belief in a grand cosmic order where kings were not only sacred, they were part of the fabric of time itself. It is important and exciting to have more evidence for the importance of 2012 to these ancient Maya concepts."
In December this year the great odometer of the Long Count calendar will turn to 18.104.22.168.0, marking the end of the 13th Bak'tun. Whether this date falls on the 21st or 23rd is debated by scholars because there is conflicting evidence on the issue. Whichever day is correct the Maya gave us no dire warning of a cataclysmic outcome.
"As our exhibition MAYA 2012: Lords of Time explains, the Maya universe was conceived as a cosmic clock of unimaginable scale, stretching trillions upon trillions of years into the future and the past," noted Mr. Martin. "The greatest story the Maya have to offer us is their unique vision of time and how they built a system of government that put the calendar at the core of their claims to authority."
The last time the Maya calendar was set to 220.127.116.11.0 came in 3114 BCE, a date recorded on Quirigua Stela C from Guatemala. A towering replica of Stela C is on display in MAYA 2012: Lords of Time.
More about the new discovery, at excavations led in part by Penn Ph.D. Marcello Canuto, now director of Tulane University's Middle American Research Institute, can be found online in Science Daily.

Julian Siggers has been appointed the Williams Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, effective July 1, 2012
The announcement was made April 26 by Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price.
Siggers is currently vice president for programs, education and content communication at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada's largest research museum. He has also served as director of the Institute for Contemporary Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum and as head of narrative and broadcast development at the United Kingdom's National Museum of Science and Industry in London. Siggers taught prehistoric archaeology for eight years at the University of Toronto, where he earned his Ph.D., with a specialization in Near Eastern prehistoric archaeology.
"As we celebrate the Penn Museum's 125th anniversary, Julian Siggers is the perfect director to lead the nation's finest university archeological museum," Gutmann said. "Julian is deeply committed to the Museum's essential missions of research, teaching and public outreach and engagement. In addition, he has extensive experience with museum stewardship and growth.
"Julian is taking the helm at a time when the sterling reputation of the Penn Museum continues to grow with last year's 'Secrets of the Silk Road' exhibit and the spectacular 30th anniversary Maya Weekend just around the corner. "
Throughout his career, Siggers has been a pioneer in advancing public engagement with museums and archaeology.
At the Royal Ontario Museum, he developed innovative initiatives designed to make it a vital part of contemporary life and an inviting means of public education and discovery. He pursued new forms of exhibition, publication, programming, broadcasting and digital media, including partnerships with government agencies and a weekly show on the Discovery Channel, and he directed a Dead Sea Scrolls project that drew the museum's highest attendance in two decades. He was also an integral part of the team responsible for fundraising initiatives, especially during a highly successful $300 million capital campaign.
"Julian Siggers is one of the world's leading figures in enhancing the vitality of museums and charting the future of museum practice," Price said. "A committed scholar of prehistoric archaeology, he understands the importance of working collaboratively with faculty and scholars while expanding the reach of their work to new and non-traditional audiences. I am confident that he will be a galvanizing force for advancing the Penn Museum across our campus, our city and state and beyond."
In addition to his 1997 doctorate from the University of Toronto, Siggers earned an M.A. in prehistoric archaeology in 1988 and B.A. with honors in archaeology in 1986 from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London.
"As we welcome Julian," Price said, "we also express our gratitude to Richard Hodges for his dynamic leadership of the Museum over the past five years, and we wish him well in his new position as president of the American University of Rome."
Duffy's Cut: Skeletal Remains of Irish Immigrants from 1832 Leave Penn Museum
Once-Forgotten Irish Immigrants Are Laid to Rest In West Laurel Hill Cemetery
The long saga of Duffy's Cut and the Irish immigrants who died there comes to a close—at least for the six individuals who were excavated from a mass gravesite in Malvern, PA.
In June, 1832, a group of 57 Irish immigrants from Donegal, Tyrone, and Derry arrived in Philadelphia. They were brought to Chester County by a fellow Irishman named Philip Duffy as laborers for the construction of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, Pennsylvania's pioneering railroad. Within six weeks, all were dead of cholera and possibly violence, and were buried anonymously in a ditch outside of Malvern.

"Living Deliberately" Students and Professor Visit the Penn Museum
Eleven Asian texts were carefully arranged on a large table, catalogue cards by each, when the University of Pennsylvania students came in to the Asian section storage room at the Penn Museum. The materials were diverse and intriguing: a Tibetan sutra rendered in gold leaf lettering; a mid-19th century Thai illustrated manuscript folded in accordion fashion; a Chinese scroll discovered inside a Buddhist statue; a Japanese prayer kit for a travelling monk; and a palm leaf manuscript with Sinhala characters etched into the leaves.

Meet our docents! Penn Museum has 60 volunteer docents who annually provide gallery tours to thousands of children, teens and college students, families, seniors and special interest groups of all kinds.
Docents go through a rigorous training program at the museum to prepare them to share stories about the cultures and artifacts presented in the galleries. They continue to learn, with ongoing training programs and special lectures throughout the year.
Pictured here at a recent meeting and end of the year luncheon are many of the Museum's docents, who graciously took to the steps of the Kress Gallery entrance to have their group shot taken.
The theme for the roundtable program, attended by about 100 people, was "Driving Economic Development and Building Access to the Global Market."
Ayana Jones, business reporter for the Philadelphia Tribune, attended the roundtable and wrote this article about the event. The news was even picked up by the South Florida Caribbean News, and covered in this story.
More photos from the evening are online on the Penn Museum's Flickr page.

We Knew Him When...
Working towards a Ph.D. in Anthropology may not make you an instant millionaire, but it just might make you smart enough to win a million dollars!
At least, that's what Noam Osband is hoping. A Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, Noam will be a contestant on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," airing TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4 and WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5. Hosted by the Emmy Award-winning Meredith Vieira, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" can be seen locally in the Philadelphia area on WPVI (ABC6), weekdays at 12:30 pm.
Last year, Noam was one of several Penn students with a summer field research grant from the Penn Museum. He used the grant money to study Mexican guest workers in Arkansas.
His strategy for winning? "As a kid, I used to always read the encyclopedia," he said, adding, "Wikipedia is your best friend."
Go, Noam, we may not be your official "lifeline" but we'll be watching and cheering you on!
UPDATE: We have a winner! Noam didn't win the grand prize, but he did walk away with an astonishing $250,000! Congratulations, Noam!
At 3:20 pm, nearly finished, he was visited by a group of Penn Museum's "Anthropologists in the Making" campers, who had plenty of questions about his work. One girl was quick to point out that his painting had some mistakes—he had missed some elements in the room.
"That's interesting," he noted, "you think I should paint exactly what I see." Mr. Beck surprised the child, and others, when he said, "I'm not actually painting a picture of the sphinx; I'm painting my reaction to the sphinx."
Mr. Beck's new painting will be exhibited this October at the Rosenfeld Gallery, part of a new body of work titled "Philadelphia Heartbeat." The new collection includes two dozen of Mr. Beck's responses to a number of special places in the city, including the Italian Market, a community garden, and the Philadelphia Zoo.
Packing up from his Penn Museum encounter, Mr. Beck had one more extraordinary spot to work that day: he was on his way to paint an image of Pat's Steaks at night.
You can see samples of Robert Beck's work online at www.robertbeck.net. "Philadelphia Heartbeat" opens at the Rosenfeld Gallery, 113 Arch Street, with a public reception on October 9.
Penn Museum's American and Conservation departments were recently awarded a grant from IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) to conduct a conservation survey and rehouse the museum's collection of pottery and textiles from the site of Pachacamac, Peru. Pachacamac was a sacred center in the Andean region for more than 1,000 years and figures prominently in myth, oral history, and Peruvian identity even today. The 12,000-item archaeological collection was made in 1895–1896 and contains diverse and fragile organic materials preserved in the dry environment of the Peruvian coast. The rehoused pottery will be moved closer to the Pachacamac textiles, which in turn will be treated and moved into new custom cabinetry. The completed project will provide the museum with a prioritized list of recommended conservation treatment and rehoused materials that will be more safely accessible for class use, research, and community engagement.

The Philadelphia 76ers are sending six of the 2010-11 Sixers Dancers to China for two NBA-sponsored appearances in Chongqing and Hangzhou, China, from Thursday, June 9 through Monday, June 20. It is the second time Sixers Dancers have traveled to China.
Erica and Danielle arrived in the Museum's Chinese Rotunda Tuesday afternoon, June 7, ready to learn. They were greeted by the perfect tutors-University of Pennsylvania students.
Rebecca Fu, graduate student in classical Chinese literature and history, spoke a bit about Chinese art and culture-and taught the dancers how to write their names in Chinese.
Three dancers from the Penn Pan-Asian Dance Troupe, teachers Melinda Wang and Joanna Wu and coordinator Kevin Lou, were ready to give the Sixers Dancers a Chinese dance lesson and workout. The troupe performs on campus and throughout the Philadelphia community, with a repertoire that has grown to encompass dances representing a multitude of ethnicities, including Chinese, Filipino, Japanese and Thai. For this crash course, they introduced Erica and Danielle to the colorful Ribbon Dance.
At first, handling the long ribbons and new choreography was challenging to the dancers. It wasn't long, however, before they were ready to put it all to music and dance like they'd been doing it for years. Who knows? Maybe we'll see a Ribbon Dance at an upcoming 76ers game!

REACH Ambassadors Honored
April 30th, 17 REACH ambassadors from Colorado Rush and Rush Pikes Peak gathered at the Colorado State Capitol building to be honored for all of their efforts on a recent November trip to South Africa. The ambassadors experience is detailed below.
'"On April 30th, the R.E.A.C.H. ambassadors and I had the opportunity to visit the state capitol. At first I thought all of the House members would be completely serious and strict, yet it was not a very serious environment until they had a debate. We were able to listen in on a debate over Renewable Energy for about thirty minutes after we were honored by Representative Timothy Dore for our mission to South Africa. Ryan Blarr, Jenna Hartley, and Ross Fowler were able to speak to CBS news concerning our trip while we listened to the debate. After listening in to the debate we were taken down to the House Committee Room 0109 to discuss our trip with Representative Dore. When we arrived in the room, an aide told us that Representative Dore would be unable to come and speak to us because he was required to be in the House to vote. In the room we received thanks from the aide for our services and while we waited for other representatives, Dennis John gave us an update on how the kids were doing down in Bottlebrush (the informal settlement we volunteered at in South Africa). Every once in a while he was interrupted by a different representative who praised us for what we had done in South Africa. Also, with the visits from the Representatives, we were able to hear stories about their contribution to the Capitol/Government. The legislative aide was inspired to be part of the government when his Uncle died in 9/11. Also, the aide was going to lose his job in less than a week once the debates were over, this was the case for the majority of the aides. From there the aide was to become a sandwich maker at Whole Foods. We also heard that the people that worked in the capitol usually had two jobs, for example, a man also had a job as a doctor. Overall, the trip to the capitol was a great experience because we realized how much other people appreciate what we have done to help our country's reputation and we were able to experience something that many people will never have the chance to do. Almost every person that worked at the capitol that talked to us on Tuesday told us how proud they were of us and offered their help." - REACH Ambassador Jaime Brunworth
"This Tuesday, April 30th our South Africa REACH travel group was reunited. Any reunion of our travel group is always a fun and meaningful time because of all the memories we share from our trip; however, this reunion was especially significant because our meeting place was the Colorado state capitol! We were honored by Representative Timothy Dore in front of the House of representatives, and towards the end of our visit we were also honored and praised by several Senators, Representatives, and Legislative Aides. The recognition from influential government figures showed us that our humanitarian work with REACH is truly important, not only in the lives of the African children we serve, but also because of how we represent our home state and nation. One of the representatives mentioned how proud he was that our group was able to travel abroad and help disprove negative stereotypes about Americans by representing the humanity and kindness that our nation's people are truly capable of. Just as the House of Representatives represent and speak for the best interests of their district while they are in the House, when we travel as REACH ambassadors we take pride in exemplifying and representing the best of our country and program. Being honored at the Capitol was an enjoyable experience for our travel group as well as an important reminder for us to continue to embody the REACH values of humility, empathy, and respect especially as we become role models for the many young REACH ambassadors that have recently joined the program!"

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
While most of the MSM sleeps, The Patch has an interesting read on what appears to be the failing boycott of the Sendik's in Shorewood.
Despite threats of a boycott of Shorewood's Sendik's, store owner Anne Nehring said she hasn't seen much backlash from shoppers- just support.
Two customers came in and told co-owner John Nehring, they were organizing a boycott of the store at 4027 N. Oakland Av.
She added John told them to get out of the store before they would give him a reason for the threatened boycott.
However, on Saturday, an e-mail surfaced threatening a boycott of Shorewood's Sendik's, citing the owner's support of Milwaukee County Executive candidate Jeff Stone and that couple has been "giving funds to union-busters." Stone voted in favor of the governor's budget repair bill.
"I care very much about the community and the employees because they are my family," Anne Nehring said. "People have told me they won't stop shopping here."
She said other customers say they drove out of their way to support the Shorewood location, which the Nehrings independently own. She added she is hurt by the threats coming from Shorewood residents, and their support of Gov. Scott Walker or Stone was done as individuals and not as the owners of Sendik's.
"I should be able to do that, as an individual, without being punished," she said of her support of the Republican party.
Another Sendik's, 2643 N. Downer Ave., wasn't so lucky, as the doors to the grocer were Superglued shut Monday. Anne Nehring said there hasn't been any vandalism of her store.
The e-mail, first reported by 620 WTMJ's Charlie Sykes, was reportedly sent from one David Weingrod, with an Milwaukee Area Technical College e-mail address, to apparent union representatives at the college and says that the grocer may face a boycott if the owners continue to support Stone.

Hey guys,
I'm thinking about buying this auto shade helmet.
Do y'all think it's a good buy for a beginner.

Thread: cheap welding helmet
cheap welding helmet
well, beginner or long time welder ... you only have one set of eyes and once you fry them.. they are gone .. Compare the UV protection, darkening speed, type battries required, lense cover replacements, quality of the head gear, and anything else you can compare. I have two cheap HF Helmets, the small lense one works great, the large lens one makes my face fell like its been in the sun too long. My Speedglass one is great and a clear winner in all departments. My advice is to get the best that you can afford. In my judgement, your helmet is the most important piece of welding equipment that you will buy.. get a good one..
these look like good comparisons for low end helmets http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94337
check their specs against Millers
JimJim Young
Although that is not an expensive auto-darking helmet I think I would start with a regular one. Like a jackson or fibre-metal. In-expensive and leaves some money to spend on more toolsScott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
I have tried just about every type of helmet on the market today and I'm most comfortable with my trusty old Jackson hood. It is all a matter of personal preferance. I don't care for the auto shade lens either as I have damaged a few in my day and don't really trust them to work properly all the time either. I used to do alot of stainless welding in tight areas where you had to be very close to the item being welded and heat cracked the photo cells in them more than once.

Welding Helmets....
Hey Homeschool,
That helmet is a good one. I have one and have used it 12-20hrs/week for the last year and a half without any problems. It has a fast react time, sens. & delay settings, and is quite comfortable...for me. I also have 2 of the HF Blue Flame helmets that have the same specs. as this one. I believe they are made by the same company as the electronics are identical. They have been reliable and the shading adjustment works very well as I like #10 setting for MIG & #11 for TIG. They are reasonably priced and if one goes bad, I'll toss it and get another...to me they are a consumable......Denny

My dad bought me a HF auto hood years ago and I used it allot. When I started welding full time it broke down in no time! It was ok for occational use, but just couldn't handle hard working conditions. I replaced it with a Miller Elite and I can't beleive the difference. I was missing out! Now, if you are just the occational welder (2 times a month) the cheapy will probably work. If you are going to see allot of hood time, then I'd spring for the better hood. Your eyes are precious, treat them with care! I do notice a difference with my eyes when comparing the two hoods. The cheapy left a "red dot" in my vision for quite a while if I was under hood very long. The new hood greatly reduced this vision imparment. Good luck!

i agree with dabar on this one the jackson hoods are the best around

i have a bwe and it is ausome, i had it at the hitch shop for a few weeks and if i wasent watching it 24/7 it would have been distroyed by others not being careful. i think we have run over like 4 welding masks this year driving on and off the hoists... also in construction would you want to drop you miller autodark$$$$$ or you jackson$ 4 storys?..Jorgensen MFG.

I been having having a sellstrom for about the last 17 years and can't complain.About 10 years ago i bought a speedlens for it and wondered how I did without it.Just recently I bought the miller 29 roadster elite series and I really enjoy it.Auto-darken shields are the way to go.
They are reasonably priced and if one goes bad, I'll toss it and get another...
thats the problem with too many people today, we are getting used to getting cheap crap and judt figure its ok for it to break, i'll just get another one. thats why we have soo much cheap crap out there. what ever happend to buying quality once and expecting it to last.
i got a Miller BWE about 6 years ago. i use it inside and outside. i use it for MIG,TIG,Stick and plasma cutting. it has never failed me. i would never consider trusting my eyes to a cheapo hood. how many flashes are ok ???? i say none. get a good hood.
get a good one and demand it to last, you only have one set of eyes keep them safe.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
I have an HF auto darkening bucket, I also have a Fibre Metal that I like. I use the Fibre Metal one more than the HF one. I have several lenses for the Fibre Metal helmet and a set of the bifocals for it.
I wish I had a positive air flow welding helmet. You have one set of eyes and one set of lungs.
They can replace the lungs these days, but it will hurt.

Test ID: FSEC
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Secretin is a 27 amino acid basic peptide produced by S cells and
released by acid delivered into the duodenum. Secretin is released
into the blood when duodenal pH drops below 4. Secretin shares
structural similarity with Glucagon, Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide,
Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide, PHIM, and Growth Hormone-
Releasing Hormone. Secretin is a potent stimulus for bicarbonate
secretion. Secretin also stimulates secretion of bile, release of Insulin,
and release of Gastric Pepsin in the stomach. Secretin inhibits Glucagon
release, intestinal motility, and prevents the uptake of water and sodium
ions by the intestine. In normal patients, Secretin has little effect on Gastrin
levels, but stimulates Gastrin greatly in Zollinger-Ellison patients. Secretin
is also elevated in Zollinger-Ellison patients and in patients with duodenal
ulcer. Secretin levels are low in patients with pernicious anemia and
achlorhydria. Secretin secretion can be suppressed by Somatostatin,
Cimetidine, and Methionine-Enkephalin.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Sushi Kimura - new sushi joint opening May 1
This one sounds a bit different from the average Vancouver sushi place. The chef, Mr. Kimura, has worked all over the world, including stints in China, Mexico, and L.A. He's intentionally chosen a location away from downtown, near Rupert and 22nd, to create a more relaxed atmosphere and get a bigger space (1,600 sq.ft). Like Opera Sushi, this one has a musical theme, but this time it's jazz.
They're planning to have a yoshoku menu as well, starting in about a month's time. And the chef is going to mix things up by putting new limited-time dishes on the menu every couple of weeks.
Although I'm no rice connoisseur, they're going to be using Haenuki rice from Yamagata, which has consistently received an A Grade from the Japan Grain Inspection Association (I know...) since it was first introduced in 1993. I like the packaging: http://www.makotoasakura.com/wordpres...
If you're serious about sushi, you need to be serious about rice, so hopefully this place will turn out to be a little gem on the east side.
Hours: 11:30-2:30, 5:30-9:30
Website: http://sushikimura.com/index.html
Address: 3883 Rupert - Rupert + 22nd
Opera Sushi
1640W Broadway W, Vancouver, BC V6J1X6, CA
Thanks for the heads up Kentan -- on the list.
FYI Opera Sushi closed a month and a half or so ago. Another sushi place is supposed to be going in there but no signs of life as yet.
Reading some reviews from the last place that Mr. Kimura worked at in Santa Monica make this place seem very promising.
Great intel Kentan! I've seen this place a few times and didn't think anything of it. Have some sushi then Portuguese egg tarts at Universal just a few doors down.
I was excited to see a new sushi close by. When it opened, I was disappointed to find out that they have no take out lunch/dinner menu for those who work in the area.

Sorry, product information is unavailable at this time.
Company history
Weleda was founded on the principles of anthroposophy, a movement that encourages the individual to see his or her body, mind and spirit as intrinsically linked to our world, all part of one holistic system.
In 1921, Dr. Rudolph Steiner and other doctors and scientists came together to determine how this philosophy might be used in medical practice. They understood that the human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, and developed a personal approach to health care using natural ingredients that can holistically work with and support our own body's healing tendencies.
Weleda's Swiss founders used a similar approach to their skin care, naming their company after the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing. Soon their innovative, effective skin care spread from Switzerland to Germany and into North America and the rest of the world. Today Weleda has offices and partnerships in more than 50 countries.
Despite their growth and success, Weleda still cultivates their own Biodynamic gardens, believing that natural ingredients truly provide what a body needs to be vibrant, beautiful and well. They continue to grow, spreading their passion for beauty, wellness and environmental respect around the world.
Weleda's mission is to stimulate and inspire the body, soul and spirit. In doing so, they encourage you to draw from your own vitality and discover inner balance. This enables your individual health and authentic beauty to unfold.
Weleda's promise

To create vital relationships among customers, Fair Trade partners and their own team
To ensure the quality of their products and programs

Well now I know why I buy American, I get a call from Airgas yesterday afternoon and the factory Miller Tech wants me to call him about my 350P. So I called him today, David is his name and man was he a big help and a stand up guy and knows these machines.
He agrees the feed system needs to be replace and believes that the circuit boards should be replaced and the software updated. He said he is going to next day air the parts to the repair facility immediately! Now that's service, THANK YOU MILLER!
Now with the 211 and spool gun, David says the 211 and gun were ever designed for 5356 ONLY 4043 because of the amperage, he states we would need 220-230 amps to make that wire spray and obviously were not going to get that from the 211 and furthermore the gun is only rated for 160 amps and a 30% DC.
I will accept that.
Then This afternoon I get a call from Ben the Miller Production manager and wanted to know what they could do to make this all right! I said so far they are in my book, I just need my 350P back ASAP, and I have no doubt they will make it happen. He also said about the 211, that their 2012 catalog now says 4043 only.
Miller Electric thank you! Lets see some Chinese company step up like this!
Oh you know what would make this better a 8'-10' Miller Banner for the shop and two 2' long Miller stickers for are shop trailer...

211, of course you already know aluminum is straight argon or some mix of helium for more heat transfer if you like and can get it, but you dont need it. I am welding 3/16s Aluminum with no problem. Turn wire speed up all the way to 100 and your heat up to 3/8 metal, this throws the wire into a spray mode of sorts and if you hold nozzle about an inch away from the parent metal it goes on well with a little side oscilation. Not bad for such a small machine. Give it a try, its really hot at that setting so experiment with distance from metal with your nozzle. I have been a boilermaker for 40 years Retired. It works well for me. Let me know hope this helps

Hey Danno
I can sympathize with your problems. I have an answer that works well for me I will give you all the parameters that work with my 211. Of course run on 240/220 volts using straight argon 030 wire 4043. wire speed all the way up to 90 or 100 depending on your taste. Use the setting of 3/8s metal that throws the little 211 into a spray mode of sorts hold nozzle about 1inch away from parent metal to keep from frying tips and it does fine on 3/16s aluminum for me. I hope this helps, I am a retired boilermaker of 40 years, I fought it for a little bit but this works well for me hope it will for you .

I do not know everthing there is to know about storing welding rods, but here is something that has worked pretty well for me. Here in East Texas, we have competing weather patterns. Cold dry air from the north, and warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. In my shop, I have found that after several days of pretty cold weather, everthing in the shop will eventually get to a cold temp. We then get a sudden warm front from the Gulf. The moist air floods the shop and condenses on everything that is cold. Any piece of metal that is colder than the new, warm, moist air will begin to "sweat", much like a cold, Coca Cola can will do on a summer day. My welding rods will sweat also, seems like it loosens up the flux on them. I tried the light bulb in the old ice box trick for a while, but it seems that the bulb burns out pretty fast, I forget about checking it, and I end up with welding rods that the flux gets a little ruined. I finally started using what I call a Gun Safe Heater. It is a long, slender rod with a heating element inside it. They are made by a company called Goldenrod Heaters (I made an Internet link for you below to see all their sizes). They get about 160 degrees on the skin of the rod. When you put one in most any box container, it will heat up everthing inside the box just a few degrees above the normal outside temp. What this does is, it keeps any metal above the dew point so that a sudden burst of warm moist air from the Gulf will not condense out on the surface of the metal. I really started using this on my rifles I keep in the house. My dad was a WWII veteren, and I have been collecting old military rifles for a while. Nothing gets me more upset when I woud see a tiny patch of rust on a vintage rifle. I do not have air conditioning in my house, so the air even in the house goes from dry to moist all the time. After I found them to work very well on my rifles, I started using it for my welding rods. These heating rods only draw about 10 to 20 watts and they last forever. You can place them in most any kind of box, even an old cardboard box, just plug them in, and forget about having to check lightbulbs. They are kind of expensive at first, but great if you are like me, and forget to check stuff. I would not buy them directly from the Goldenrod Company, too expensive. I got my last batch from Cabelas (the outdoor folks). Here is the link for the Goldenrod Company:

Thank You
I want to thank everyone so far for the much needed advice!! The gentlemans reply is very familiar with my situation as he lives just about 65 mils north of me and the Gulf warm very humid air is a Killer here on certain things. I will havew to sart with light bulbs but maybe for Christmas my little santa will get me the dehumidifying rod!!!
Try a dry box like you can pick up at walmart in the sporting goods they are for keeping emergency supplies dry on boats, and work great for welding rods
and they are not very costly.

Re:Storing Electrodes
I use the Army surplus mortar shell tubes. They hold about 10# of rods and have an o-ring seal under the cap to keep out moisture. Most surplus stores have them. I have also used the old refrigerator with a 100 watt lamp inside.
I would use the refrigerator method, but I want to make sure the Freon has been recovered properly.
I do like the idea of the frig and would put a lock of some kind on it just for peace of mind.
Here's what I did.
It works great for me when I'm piddling around.
I cut several pieces of 1-1/2" PVC ( I think I should have gone to 2").
Put test caps in the end and filled with Gorilla glue because it is some tough stuff, but it foams. I purchased an 1-1/2" floor drain fitting and caps for the rod holders.
I can switch them out for whatever rod I'm using and it keeps the rods standing up and a little easier to grab even while wearing gloves. When I'm done, I just cap it and it goes on the shelf. TADA!
Any suggestions appreciated.Triggerman

As you well know by now, we were snap-happy as clams on the festival grounds last weekend, bringing you the best street style under Coachella's klieg lights. However, we decided the stage-friendly accessories deserved mad props and pics, too! Seriously, the scene-stealing shoes, totes, and arm adornments made us sweat more than the sweltering temps.
We spotted Dree Hemingway rocking a dope Dolce & Gabbana embroidered bunny bag, some amazing Marni x H&M ear candy, and a few rad backpacks that made us wish it was back-to-school time. So, without further ado, we present the last piece of Indio awesomeness — until next year. Get prepared to work up a summer shopping appetite, ya'all!

The risk of injury in any sport is always present. Parents know this when they sign up their kids to play. However, sometimes parents will blame others for uncontrollable events or for actions perceived to be harmful to their kids. This section is intended to give you some guidelines for keeping injuries or exposures to a minimum.
A participant who responds to an incident or injury should do so in a knowledgeable manner, or defer any action to a party who has expertise in such matters. The following first aid guidelines should help you with the more common first aid techniques used with soccer related injuries.
Whether to call for an ambulance is a judgment call that carries with it anxiety if the degree of injury is unclear. If possible defer the question to the child's parent, or a nurse or doctor on the field. Cell phones can be used to contact parents, advice nurses, or ambulances. Follow first aid procedures and make the judgment based on sound criteria. But when in doubt pass the decision to someone with more expertise, such as an ambulance crew.
Each child is required to provide you with a medical consent form. The consent form is required at every Cal North sponsored event.
There are situations wherein a kid is injured and there is no health care provider or the policy limits are inadequate. For those cases, Cal North maintains an excess accident insurance policy which provides coverage of medical bills up to $300,000 per injury. A copy of Cal North's summary of accident insurance coverage is in the Team Manual and may also be obtained from the Cal North State Office (see sections 3:07:01 and 3:07:02 of the California Youth Soccer Association Constitution and Bylaws).
Common judgment issues and guidelines for these issues are:
Some children may be HIV positive or have other potentially infectious diseases. Coaches should treat any acknowledged condition in the confidential manner with which the information is related by the parent or guardian. Other than voluntary admission from the parent or guardian, other discussion about a child's medical condition should be considered as rumors and dealt with as such. Coaches who disclose confidential information may open themselves to civil and criminal court action. Therefore, any public disclosure may not be made without permission from the parent.

Multiplatinum-album-selling rockers Three Days Grace will headline a concert at 7 p.m. Friday at Memorial Coliseum. They will be joined by multiplatinum-selling group Shinedown and P.O.D.
Three Days Grace is touring in support of its album, "Transit of Venus," which was released in October and debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard magazine Top 200 Albums chart.
The album, which contains the hit single "Chalk Outline," is the first the group has recorded with noted music producer Don Gilmore, who also has worked with the groups Linkin Park, Hollywood Undead and Bullet for My Valentine, a concert news release said.
Band members are Adam Gontier, lead vocals and guitar; Brad Walst, bass and vocals; Neil Sanderson, drums, vocals and keyboards; and Barry Stock, guitar.
Shinedown also has been riding a wave of rock popularity: The group's latest album, "Amaryllis," debuted in March at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, the concert news release said. Group members Brent Smith (vocals), Barry Kerch (drums), Zach Myers (guitar) and Eric Bass (bass) already have seen three songs on the album become hit singles — "Bully," "Unity" and "Enemies."
P.O.D. (Payable on Death) is touring to promote its album "Murdered Love," which the group released in July. The song "Lost in Forever" from the album hit No. 1 on Billboard's Active Rock Radio chart, the first No. 1 for the group, the news release said. Formed in 1992, P.O.D. has received three Grammy Award nominations over the years and has contributed to many movie soundtracks.

The gamers and players have spoken and picked their favorites and to keep things interesting, we didn't totally agree. Now it's time for the Mod DB editors to step up and tell you what we were playing in 2006.
Posted by INtense! on Jan 18th, 2007 Page 1 of 4
There are a whole lot of mods, both released and in development, that are really quality products and have had blood and sweat and tears poured into them. Mods represent some of the most ingenious and innovative developments in the gaming world, and are all done by hobbyists and enthusiasts.
It is this time of year that we actually take the time out to recognise these mods and try to reward the amazing efforts people put into their work. Our Players' Choice awards show which mods have done something right, something that has allowed them to develop their own communities and fill servers up with players enjoying the end result of all the hard work.
Yet, as those who do the housekeeping around Mod DB, we feel that there are other mods that shine. These mods have a certain something about them that stands out to us. We want to recognise the mods that have an exceptional aspect that gives them a certain edge. Sure, we wish we could give out more awards, and there are many, many worthy candidates, but after much deliberation (read: bickering and whining), we have decided which mods stand out to us, and we plan to tell you why. Not all of us agreed with the awards and, unlike previous years, we felt it important to share many different viewpoints with the winners. Hopefully, this will give you a wider perspective towards these solid and noteworthy mods.
Hidden is a horrible, horrible game.
yes yes it is but it was neat to be the hidden but still HARSHLY unfair there shouldve been more then one of him
you say its unfair. there is a zombie style gametype for hidden. you say its unfair for the hidden. i find it completely fair, the hidden is invisible, the iris has guns, its just a matter of how well you can be at playing as the hidden.

Woah, Ragnarok Arena won something. I'm jumping up and down madly. :D
Wooooooooooooo, GE:S got one. I'm incredibly ecstatic.
is giving someone an award and not happy about how they got it kind in any way shape or form.
Quote:is giving someone an award and not happy about how they got it kind in any way shape or form.
Remember that this isn't a unanimous system. If it was, there EC wouldn't exist, so theres always going to be people who disagree with it.
It won Standalone of the Year because the majority of editors love it. We then take a random assortment of opinions from each staff member and obviously not everyone is going to agree. I've edited the comment
Whoa. GoldenEye: Source, the only mod to reel in two awards. I'm very honored to be apart of the mod and that awesome achievement.
i liked the way this was done. Letting us know what you thought. Nice. :)
I gotta say though... these awards have shown one thing: to many dark/evil type mods out there. Zombies, hiding, post-apocalyptic settings... I'd REALLY like to see more mods along the lines of the medevil/"out there" (ie drawn to be alive). Those are true gems. Need more (but not to many more, then we're in the same boat as before)
Yay more awards :D
What? That isn't the storyline of Iron Grip.
It has nothing to do with the Soviet union.
Wow TA: Spring didn't get a mention at all.
I mean they only built an entire 3d rts engine and most content from the ground up...then support a large group of people who decided to make their own mods for it...and now it is the centre of a massive community, and has become one of the most popular open-source standalone games ever. Wow I suppose they didn't really achieve anything, anyway.
Too many HL2 mods tbh..But still congrats to the winners.
yes there really is most fail too :( they really should group togather instead of wasting their time making 1000 mods about one thing when they could group togather and instead make one mod to rival the 1000
Need the old system where you could choose why you wanted the mod to win, if it had great level design or storyline or gameplay or whatever.
Too many newer game mods, true, but you get that. Seeming most people forget all the old mods.
A bit disappointing most were HL2 mods (for the player choice) oh well. it seems people enjoy graphics over gameplay for quite a lot of things. Goiod job if you won though.
GAAH! STILL NO MENTION OF MARIOKART:SOURCE! this was an awesome N64 game and will be masses of fun online. worthy of at least 1 award
while im ranting, the pilotable strider mod should get an recognition, along with plan of attack
It looks they distribute the award randomly.
and hadn't been out for ages they'ed of gotten somewhere.
OA and CR:AA? Awful attempts thrown at a saturated market. WoP does it far better, IQfA is so epic it blows all others out of the water.
I was going to post a wall of text about how they picked the most popular mods and only for the games they actually own. Then I saw Median 2008 as a honourable mention under 'old skool classics'. Now that I've thought about it some more, the awards are actually fine, other than the fact that their honourable mentions don't get enough coverage. ;)
Just kidding. :D
Congratulations all the winners.
lol gota love the edrama this creates :x
Thanks for the honorably mentioning of World of Padman for "visuals" and "upcoming standalone". It's great and we are working really hard on it to hold the standalone release date (01. April 07). Internal Betatests already started and there are some very nice new features coming up with the standalone of World of Padman. I enjoyed your radioshow yesterday but the volume was really low sometimes. I had some problems to understand you guys but it was a great show. Keep on. ;)
I'd rather have the comment removed than edited to something I didn't say. Apparently the whole "Darkplaces gang" can hand out insults but when they get some criticism on their own work, they flip out.
Any idea about when we can see a ranking table or something?
Hollow Moon owns. And where's the Doom 3 talent?
Tanks for honorable mentions for Hollow Moon!!! And thanks for commenting for the honorable mentions of hollow moon :D
the whole modding community needs to get behind this site's potential for proliferating mod content. it became a bookmark for me over a year ago, and this site has been getting bigger by the month. many times i've noticed mods are not getting updated, or deleted, which leaves you guessing. modders need to realise that updates are the best means of advertising their mods. keep sending in updates, even small ones.
all the people spouting off about not getting mentioned need to realise just how many mods didn't get mentioned and just be humble that they're even listed on this site.
Thank you to the hosts of this site. i've enjoyed having it as a resource.
I am happy to know that Rumpel's great piece of work won, and what is his piece of famous work? If you say "Afraid of Monsters", you are right! Afraid Of Monsters is the best game I ever played, recreating normal Vortigaunts into Nightmare versions of Vortigaunts and other Half-life monsters (except for zombies, although their movements are the same as the Half-life headcrab zombies, one exception is that they don't have the headcrabs on their heads and they wore different clothes).
And to Killing Floor team leader Mr. Kadish, you would be happy to know that your project won the Editors' Choice award. But what a shame, the pride got better of you (I hope your teammates doesn't). But winning the award doesn't mean you attained God-status, it won't. And just an interesting note, thanks for insulting me in the forums.
But then again, if there were two choices for me, to nominate Rumpel's Afraid of Monsters or Mr.stupid Kadish's Killing Floor if not too late before the announcement, I would defintely nominate Rumpel's tour de force masterpiece Afraid of Monsters rather than Killing Floor. Oh sure, sure, Killing Floor's gameplay is great, but what I don't like about is the team's lack of self-esteem and full of pride and presumption or a game designer's symptoms called Hubris.
Three cheers for Rumpel!
Hey guys, thanks for giving Katana an honourable mention! We're thrilled to be included alongside these other great mods, and would like to congratulate the winners and extend our thanks to everyone in the ModDb community. All the best for 2007! :)

Hi all,
This week marks the start of the Tech News Hiatus as I leave for the USA in two days and I'm afraid I just don't have the time (I've also had food poisoning for the past few days, so my preparation efforts have been hampered).
Mouse Man has asked me to inform you all that you will need to "seek your tech news fix elsewhere" for the coming few weeks, but hopefully we will be up and running again by the weekend of the 9th and 10th of January.
Enjoy the holidays everyone!!
