Bucks get an early run of things
Scott Skiles had some advice for his team before its 99-85 home-court victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
"It's something Coach was preaching before we went out there," Bucks guard Brandon Jennings said. "He said we've got to take it to them early and they'll shut down and that's basically what they did."
The Bucks heeded their coach's words and spurted to a 27-9 lead before extending it to 60-34 at halftime, helped by a strong early effort from center Samuel Dalembert. »Read Full Article(23)

Milwaukee County Board overrides 22 of 24 Abele vetoes
The Milwaukee County Board on Wednesday overrode 22 of 24 budget vetoes County Executive Chris Abele had made a day earlier, putting the final wraps on a 2013 tax levy that will go up nearly $4 million, or 1.4%, to $279.3 million.
Wednesday's override votes mean that the board prevailed in key areas, including rejecting Abele's plan to pay the Milwaukee Police Department to patrol the lakefront and other county parks and scaling back steep increases in employee health care costs that the county executive had favored.
A beaming Marina Dimitrijevic, the board chairwoman, said the lopsided votes to quash nearly all of Abele's vetoes showed board unity on putting a priority on public safety and struck a good balance on county finances. Now county leaders should "put their tempers aside and get down to business implementing this budget," Dimitrijevic said. »Read Full Article(108)

Petters bankruptcy case trustee sues BMO Harris
Minneapolis - A bankruptcy trustee recovering money for victims of a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme operated by now-imprisoned Minnesota businessman Tom Petters filed a lawsuit Wednesday that accuses a bank of aiding the fraud by ignoring "astronomical" deposits.
The lawsuit filed in federal bankruptcy court accuses M&I Bank of turning a blind eye to $35 billion that flowed in and out of the main bank account used by Petters Co. Inc. to launder money for the fraud between 2003 and 2008, when the scheme collapsed.
The bank, based in Milwaukee at the time, was acquired last year by Toronto-based BMO Financial Group and combined with BMO-owned Harris Bank of Chicago to form BMO Harris Bank. »Read Full Article(6)

An atheist group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seems on track to receive nearly $70,000 in student fees for staffing and programming next year, in what appears to be a first for the university and student atheist groups nationally.

"Religious groups have been receiving this type of funding for years," said Chris Calvey, president of the organization, which helped stage a three-day Freethought Festival that drew hundreds of nonbelievers and skeptics from around the country to Madison this year. »Read Full Article(408)

MLB Network analyst likes Ryan Braun's MVP credentials
Tuesday on the MLB Network's "Clubhouse Confidential" show, Brian Kenny analyzed the 2012 National League MVP race and said his choice for the honor is Ryan Braun of the Brewers, who won the award in 2011.
Other players up for consideration are Pirates centerfielder Andrew McCutcheon, Giants catcher Buster Posey and Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina.
"If I had to actually vote, I'd go with the guy who was the best power hitter, who is also a plus-base runner and a plus-defender," Kenny said. "If I'm running a team and I could have just one of these seasons, I would take the season produced by Ryan Braun. It's close, but Ryan Braun is my MVP." »Read Full Blog Post(12)
McCarthy: Matthews won't play against Lions
Green Bay - The Packers have listed LB Clay Matthews (hamstring) as out on their injury report this week.
That means he won't play against the Lions.
Here is a summary of McCarthy's post-practice press conference:
- Know Clay won't be available. We'll see what happens next week. Diagnosis was a couple of weeks and this is week two.
- Knew that Matthews would be out this week and has had time to plan for it.
- Focused on getting 46 guys ready to win this game on Sunday.
- Identified three things with division games: turnover advantage is key, third-down advantage and penalty advantage. Heightened awareness of being disciplined in a tough environment.
- Greg Jennings not going to play this week. Don't know if he'll start practicing next week.
- Rodgers concussion against Detroit was time he realized he had to be smart when running the ball. Kind of awkward. His game hasn't changed. But I think he's more conscious of it (sliding).
- Tramon Williams is an excellent football player. What's unique is that he'll jump out of the gym every day in practice and make a play. Should see him in the weight room. Very impressive athlete.
- Neal is battling through ankle injury. Bothering him and ready to go.
- Everyone who knows EDS has enjoyed watching him group up. Have great confidence in him. Didn't blink when injury to Bulaga happened. Indication of confidence in him.
- Won't comment on Ryan Taylor fine.
- Had a lot of energy on Monday. Bye week has helped, but have to be smart after extended time off. Definitely a lot fresher this Wednesday than week before the Arizona game.
- Joked that players said Ford Field is a cold dome in pre-game, so he decided to practice them outside today.
And that's it. (21)
Abele warns of project delays in tussle over development director
If the County Board succeeds in its tussle with Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele over forcing the county's economic development director to comply with the county residency rule, the county could wind up with no one in that slot until spring, a spokesman for Abele said Wednesday.
That could jeopardize pending development projects, including the $120 million Couture lakefront high rise, said Brendan Conway, Abele's communications chief.
The board added a provision to the 2013 budget that would abolish the current position of economic development director and re-create it with a slightly different title - giving the board a chance to oust Brian Taffora. »Read Full Article(2)

Survey: Parents think more about what they feed kids than what they eat themselves
Parents are more likely to be obese than adults without children, a new survey suggests.
Parents with children younger than 18 are focused on the nutrition and health needs of their kids, but are less likely to think about the foods they choose for themselves or believe in the health benefits of regular exercise, according to results from the International Food Information Council Foundation's 2012 Food & Health Survey.
Only 16% of parents in the survey said they think they have a very or extremely healthful diet, compared with 23% of nonparents. Parents (36%) are more likely to be obese than nonparents (28%). More parents (60%) are trying to lose weight than nonparents (55%), according to the survey. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
MetJet loan proposal would pay tickets for lower interest rate
A De Pere airline company that raised $1 million in two stock offerings earlier this year has received approval from its board of directors to create a loan program where individuals could receive some of their interest payments in the form of free tickets.
MetJet Inc. still needs to get approval from state regulators to start the program, said Michael Heisman, founder and owner. But the company has already figured out potential terms.
Existing shareholders and 25 other state residents would be offered the opportunity to lend money to the start-up, which can't get bank financing this early in its life cycle, Heisman said. MetJet would pay 5% interest and part of the principal each month, until the company had paid off the loan at the end of five years. »Read Full Article(2)

Officials warn of bill payment loan scam
Authorities are warning residents about a Milwaukee company that claims to provide loans to help people pay their bills but is really scamming applicants out of $20 fees.
The company, My Bill Assist, offers people up to $1,500 in loans for rent, car payments, and utility and cellphone bills. Applicants have to pay only an application fee of $20 and a membership fee of $20 for the bill assistance program and wait for the check to show up. Some applicants were told they wouldn't even have to pay back the loan, which was to come from the federal government.
Word of the free money spread quickly in Milwaukee over the past three weeks, and applicants flocked to the company's location at 2821 N. 4th St. for appointments. Sharon Austin, a disabled and retired Milwaukee resident, was one of them. »Read Full Article(60)

Johnson Controls raises dividend, moves up payment
Johnson Controls Inc. has increased its quarterly stock dividend and sped up the dividend payment because of a tax hike on dividends set to take effect in January.
The company said Wednesday dividend was increased 5.5%, or 1 cent, to 19 cents a share, and will be payable on Dec. 28 to shareholders of record on Dec. 7.
"Due to potential tax law changes, the traditional January dividend payable date was changed to December for this year only," the Glendale-based company said.
Typically, when Johnson Controls boosts its dividend, the higher dividend is payable in the first week of January. Taxes on dividends are set to rise in 2013, and dividend tax policy is among the issues in the negotiations over the so-called fiscal cliff. (8)
Aoki plans to sit out World Baseball Classic
A report out of Tokyo says Brewers outfielder Norichika Aoki will not play for Japan in the World Baseball Classic next spring, preferring instead to focus on preparing for the 2013 season with Milwaukee.
This comes as a bit of a surprise because Aoki indicated to me last season that he would play for Japan. There's a lot of pressure on players to perform for their country, especially in Japan, which has won the first two WBC crowns and takes that competition very seriously. The WBC does pull you away from your big-league club for about half of spring training.
Texas pitcher Yu Darvish recently said he plans to sit out the WBC as well.
You have to commend Aoki on wanting to focus on his preparation for the Brewers' season. He had a very nice rookie campaign (.288, 37 doubles, 10 homers, 50 RBI, 30 stolen bases) but obviously wants to do even better. He is signed through next season with a club option for 2014, so he does have his future in the majors at stake. (16)

New judge to preside over deadly fire case in Lafayette County
Darlington - A new judge will preside over the trial for two brothers charged with killing three children in a Lafayette County house fire.
Green County Judge Thomas Vale was appointed to replace a Lafayette County judge at the request of Armin and Jeremy Wand. One of the first motions Vale will consider is a defense request that could move the trial out of Lafayette County.

Warmer Wednesday
A couple of small ripples in the atmosphere will be passing overhead today and tomorrow leading to an increase in cloudiness compared to yesterday's beautiful blue skies. Even with the clouds there will be some filtered sunshine today and more tomorrow. With so much dry air in place at the surface, any precipitation seems highly unlikely, though a few flurries wouldn't be out of the question, especially tomorrow. A gradual moderation in the mercury begins today and will continue through the weekend. Look for temperatures climb through the 40s during the next several days, eventually reaching about 50 degrees by the weekend.
Have a great Wednesday!

I have unfortunately lost some of the construction photos, so, in lieu of illustrations, have tried to make the written part as detailed as possible.
Everyone always asks me if it's comfortable. Yes. The key here is that the balls are not glued in place or screwed through somehow, so they can flex and deform. With the body distributed over fifty of them, no single one makes a pressure point; the slope on the seat pan, and the U-shaped contour on the back match butt and back as closely as possible, giving spine and tailbone some breathing room.
The fact that they are not fixed in place also means that they shrink and expand from their holes with changes in heat, humidity, and altitude, as the air trapped inside the balls changes in volume.

Women's Running Tennis Shoes
Women's running shoes are proven to last for those who are everyday runners. The last thing you want when you're running around the track is an uncomfortable shoe. Impressive technologies developed specifically for men's running shoes prevent such an occurrence. Having the right footwear is so important for runners because so much weight is coming down on your feet repeatedly. Next time you prepare for your daily run, make sure you warm up, put on your headband, and make sure you have a pair of cushion running shoes.

Heart Attack or Cardiac Arrest? Learn the Difference—and What You Can Do to Help Increase Survival Rates
We have all heard of someone who, with no apparent cardiac problems, nevertheless died suddenly from cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death. Is this different from a heart attack or a myocardial infarction (the clinical name for a heart attack)?
Yes, there are some differences between a heart attack and cardiac arrest, and the two events require different responses to increase the chances for survival.
Heart Attack
A heart attack occurs when the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become severely clogged or blocked (coronary artery disease). The build-up of cholesterol plaques on the inside of the tiny coronary arteries can restrict the blood flow to the heart muscle. Plaques can also rupture, causing a blood clot that completely blocks the artery and the blood flow to the heart. Without oxygen or nutrients, the heart muscle cells suffer permanent injury and death. If a victim is not treated immediately, and the heart muscle continues to be deprived of oxygen and nutrients, then the heart will be unable to pump blood. Ultimately, without treatment, the person will die.
Cardiac Arrest
Sudden death from cardiac arrest, on the other hand, occurs when a person's heartbeat stops abruptly and unexpectedly. A victim of cardiac arrest suddenly collapses, is unresponsive to gentle shaking, and stops breathing normally. Death can occur within minutes. The most common cause of cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation—a dangerous type of arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm). It can be described as a jelly-like quivering of the lower heart chambers. Brain damage can begin four to six minutes after the onset of ventricular fibrillation, and death will result after about 12 minutes.
Worth noting: In 90% of adult victims of cardiac arrest, there are also two or more major coronary arteries that are narrowed by cholesterol plaques. So there is a connection between coronary artery disease and cardiac arrest. In fact, heart attack survivors have up to six times the rate of sudden cardiac death compared to the general population. Other causes of cardiac arrest include undiagnosed or unsupervised heart abnormalities (especially in youth), illegal drug abuse, bradycardia (very slow heart rate), electrical shock, or near drowning.
The Chain of Survival
By understanding the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest, you may understand more clearly the importance of what the American Heart Association (AHA) calls the Chain of Survival for cardiac arrest. The Chain of Survival consists of:
Early access to care requires that we understand and recognize the symptoms of a heart attack and call 911 to get to the hospital immediately. Many people who are experiencing a heart attack fail to recognize the warning signs, and delay treatment until it is too late. About half of all deaths each year from coronary artery disease occur in people who never even make it to the hospital.
The signs and symptoms of a heart attack can occur suddenly or slowly. They include chest discomfort (pressure, squeezing, a sensation of chest fullness, or pain) and upper body pain (arms, back neck, jaw, or even stomach). Women are more likely to suffer shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea or lightheadedness, though men may also feel these symptoms.
Early CPR. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) consists of mouth-to mouth rescue breathing and chest compressions. It can help keep blood flowing to the heart and brain until help arrives.
Early Defibrillation (reversal of ventricular fibrillation) uses special equipment (defibrillators) to deliver an electric shock to the heart, temporarily stopping the heartbeat so the heart can go back to its normal healthy rhythm. Defibrillators are now available that are automated (AED = automated external defibrillator) and deliver shocks to patients after evaluating the heart rhythm to make sure shocking the heart is appropriate at the time.
Early Advanced Care begins when trained professionals arrive, so calling 911 is extremely important for survival.
You Can Learn AED and CPR Techniques
The skills for CPR and AED use can be learned by almost anyone.
Today, AEDs are being purchased by companies, institutions, and charitable organizations and placed in high-traffic areas. In cities with community AED programs, when bystanders provide immediate CPR and the first shock is delivered within three to five minutes, the reported survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation are as high as 48 to 74%.
Bridgeport Hospital's Emergency Cardiac Protection Program offers training programs for companies looking to provide the AED service on-site. Trained consultants from the hospital can help area corporations set up a program, train appropriate individuals, provide assistance in selecting and purchasing the appropriate device, and provide physician oversight for a workplace program. If you would like more information for your workplace, please call the Business Health Services Program, 384–4748.

Thats just what I was thinking, if my 180 is strained with some projects the dyn 200 is not much bigger.
Results 11 to 16 of 16
Thread: welding Anodized alum pipe
12-18-2007, 11:10 AM #11Scott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
from what i have heard the Dyn300 has a much stronger arc, or stiffer depending on how you want to describe it. but the 300 will do more with 200amps than the 200 will even within the 200's duty cycle. said to be a night and day difference between the 2 arc's. i suspect thats why he runs his Dyn300 at 200 amps with good results but would fall short with the Dyn200.
grab a used syncro 250 use it to make the $ ya need to get the Dyn350. then sell the syncro250 for $100.oo more than ya got it for.
all is good.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. email@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.
Thanks SundownIII,
I saw a guy's truck rack on a friend's truck, he said he uses a Dyn200 but with a special tri-mix gas to get good penetration. He said it was his friend's secret, 'cause it was so much trial and error for him to find the right combination...Oh well, I'll just play with what I have

Don't want you to think that I'm putting the Dynasty 200 down in any aspect. In fact, I recently encouraged a friend of mine to seriously consider the Dynasty 200 over the Sync 250. The machine has so much going for it.
For the average guy, who's not doing production work, the Dynasty is probably a better all around machine. I know you mentioned that you wanted to get more into aluminum fabrication but didn't think we were talking about 4-5 hrs of arc time each day. I don't do that type of work myself. I've often thought about the advantages of being able to put a Dynasty, cooler, and small bottle in a cart and go anywhere in the yard versus firing up the forklift and moving the Sync.(with accessories).
I suspect Miller has something in the wind to fill the void between the Dynasty 200 and Dynasty 350. Guess I'll just have to let it play out and see where the price point is and whether I can justify it. I will say, that if the right deal came along on a good used Dynasty 300, I'd be hard pressed to take a pass.

I have a dynasty 200 and been doing marine work for a few months now. My last big project were a pair of davits using 1.5" brushed finish alum. the machine worked great but I had a couple of shut downs due to high amp high freq settings I also got to weld 1/4" reinforcements plates to the 1.5" pipes.
The dyn 200 costs with s/h to Puerto Rico whith the contractor kit were around the $4k. The dyn 350 would go up to $10K and that was too much for my pocket. I hope in 2008 Miller will come up with something in the in between.
In Puerto Rico we are a hub of marine activity with lots of cruisers coming and going from the states and going to the VI,s".
El Guache (what's that mean?), thanks for your post, and what gas did you use when you did the 1/4" plates to pipe?
SundownIII, I know you weren't diss'n the Dyn 200...nobody is that dumb It's what I tell everyone, you get what you pay for! I WISH I could afford the Dyn 350, that way I could weld whatever I want without worrying about duty cycles....I'll just play with differrent things and see how it works out. And yes, will always keep my eye and ears open for a used Sync 250

On the ground during a previous rescue effort in Joplin, Missouri, in 2011.
As details about the impact and devastation of the tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma, continue to emerge, the ASPCA stands ready to assist. We remain in contact with local authorities and are prepared to provide our disaster recovery expertise and support once requested. Like all of you, we grieve with those who have lost loved ones and hope for a speedy recovery.
If you are in an affected area or seeking rescue and recovery resources, please visit the local Red Cross chapter website. Please stay tuned to ASPCA.org for updates.
For those of us on the East Coast, the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 is still present and fresh on our minds. And most recently, persistent flooding in the Midwest has wreaked havoc on the lives of humans and pets alike. It's important for pet parents in all parts of the country to be prepared to act in the face of a disaster—and that includes having an emergency plan in place for your pets.
That's one of the reasons why we joined FEMA to recognize May 8 as National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day. We hope you'll take this opportunity to learn more about the ways you can keep your furry friends safe in an emergency. Here are a few easy steps you can take:
1. Have a Plan. Your "all-family" plan needs to include how you will transport your animals in an evacuation, possible routes you will take and your destination/sheltering options. Practice that plan at least yearly and share it with your family and friends.
2. Build a Kit. Don't forget a photo of your pet, medical records, vaccination records, and any special food or prescriptions.
3. Stay Informed. Keep an eye on the weather, follow a projected storm's path and don't get caught unprepared. Staying informed also means knowing which shelters house both people and pets, monitoring possible road closures and having alternate travel plans.
4. Know Your Neighbors. It's best to form a relationship with your neighbors well in advance of a disaster situation.Develop a telephone tree and determine who is home and when. If a disaster occurs while you're at work, your neighbor may be the only one who can reach your pets.
5. Vaccinate and Microchip. If you're ever required to shelter your pets, you'll want them protected against disease. And the single most important piece of advice we can offer is to microchip your pets. It is truly their ticket home.
Please visit our full list of disaster preparedness tips for more information.
Though Hurricane Sandy seems like a long time ago to many of us, many of those who lost everything to the storm are still just beginning to piece their lives back together. At the ASPCA, we're still working with animal welfare groups and individuals who suffered as a result of Sandy, and less than a month has passed since our special facility for Sandy pets closed.
Since then , we've seen many Sandy strays find new homes and hundreds of Sandy pets reunited with their families. (To see some of those, visit our Facebook album of reunion photos.)
If we could tell you all their stories, we could, because if you give to the ASPCA you're responsible in part for each one. For now, we'd like to tell you one—Magnus and Aheber's. Please watch their video to see how you helped them.
Thank you for giving to the ASPCA and helping us help animals like Magnus. If you're not already a member, please consider making a gift now. You'll help us be prepared to go wherever animals need us, whenever they need us.
Now that the Emergency Boarding Facility for Sandy animals is closed, we're taking a moment to look back at the hundreds of amazing reunions that we got to witness there.
We want to thank Rachael Ray for her generous gift that allowed us to launch the facility, and to thank the many animal welfare organizations from near and far who helped us run this operation.
We also want to take a moment to thank all of our supporters. Without you, we couldn't have helped any of the families whose pets we boarded after Sandy—nor could we have helped the thousands of others who benefited from our other Sandy relief programs like search-and-rescue and food distribution.
We invite you to watch this video and remember that our work is sponsored by your generosity and kindness!
Tonight, hundreds of animals who were once boarded with us are now sleeping near their loved ones once again.
Our boarding facility also housed stray animals found in disaster areas in the wake of Sandy. Those who weren't claimed after exhaustive efforts to find their families are getting happy endings, too: All were transferred to either our Adoption Center or our rescue partners for adoption, and some have already found loving homes.
From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you, ASPCA supporters! We're committed to staying ready to respond to any natural disaster at a moment's notice, and we're so glad you're in our corner.
We were thrilled to take part in 129 happy reunions last Saturday as families displaced by Hurricane Sandy came to pick up their pets from our Emergency Boarding Facility (EBF) in Brooklyn. The boarding facility has been open since November, and the effort is now coming to a close. We put out calls for pet parents to come and take their pets home.
The Goldstein family of South Freeport, Long Island, traveled to Brooklyn on Saturday to pick up their 3-year-old beagle, Captain Morgan, who had been under our care at the Emergency Boarding Facility for seven weeks. Captain Morgan's furry friend, Skylar, the Goldstein's cat, waited for Captain Morgan in the car so they could all go home together.
Jordyn Clarke of Rockaway Beach was reunited with her cat, Kary, a tortoiseshell mix, and Midnight, a pit bull mix, on Saturday. Jordyn's bungalow on the beach was destroyed, and she has found new housing in Brooklyn. Midnight is being fostered for a few days by a friend until Jordyn is settled in. Midnight's third birthday is next week, and it will be especially nice for her to be at home.
Thomas Young of Far Rockaway and his son picked up their remaining two dogs at the EBF on Saturday. They had already brought home their Shih Tzu, Prince, who, upon returning home, "went right into his kennel!" Brindle, a pit bull mix, and Venom, a mastiff, were thrilled to see each other and tumbled into the car with Young's son. "These are our kids," says Young, whose family is staying in a hotel and working to rebuild their home.
Cuddles, a young female tabby, was reunited with Shondelle Dodson, who was displaced from her home in Canarsie after Hurricane Sandy. She adopted Cuddles from the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan in 2012.
Check out our Facebook photo album for more adorable reunion pics!
If you or someone you know is missing a pet post-Sandy, please urge them to visit the ASPCA emergency boarding facility at 1508 Herkimer St. in Brooklyn as soon as possible. Pet parents who wish to reclaim their pets from the boarding facility should call the Hurricane Sandy Pet Hotline at (347) 573-1561.

Why should someone supplement with vitamin D?
Many clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of vitamin D to support bone strength and density┼. Supplementation with vitamin D at dosages of 700-800 IU daily or higher has been associated with a 23-26% improvement in bone health, especially for older adults.┼
Why use Vitamin D3 2000 IU chewable tablets?
Convenience and great taste.
To support healthy bones┼. Healthy bones need vitamin D to properly use calcium and phosphorus.┼ Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphorus absorption through the intestines, reduces kidney excretion of calcium, and regulates the amount of calcium in the bones.┼
To support a healthy immune system and other health functions in the body┼. Vitamin D has been shown to enhance healthy cell replication and division, as well as influencing healthy glucose metabolism.┼

Outstanding fit and finish.

Great looking Rack!

I order Bronze and when rec'd it was BLACK
I did not receive what I ordered. I ordered BRONZE and received BLACK I rated everything poor only because I did not receive what was ordered. It was a gift and delivered to my recipient and when I saw it I was not happy that what I had order was not delivered. The Black one was very good but however it was not what I had ordered.Read More
copper pot rack
When this item arrived, I was delighted with the luster of the copper and the sturdiness of all of this product's elements. However, the product description needs some fleshing out. I was unclear as to whether 4 attachment screws came with the unit or whether the chains were soldered to the base of the rack. I was told by customer service that they were-they weren't. I needed a wrench to open the S-hooks so they would go into the holes in the rack itself and then use it again to close up the connection. Nevertheless, now that it is up, it is the stunning focal point of my kitchen-beautiful and practical!Read More
Easy install and very sturdy
This pot rack is great. It is very sturdy and very easy to install. It comes almost fully assembled. We ordered the brushed nickel one and we were a bit worried because the picture looks a bit more like chrome, but it is brushed nickel. It does include 4 hooks to put in the ceiling and you can install it with 1, 2, or 4 hooks. We installed using all 4. The hooks are nice and long so I put all 4 in and then to level it I simply screwed 2 of the hooks in a bit further and then I was done. It really is a great product. I recently helped a friend install a pot rack that hung from steal cables and it took hours to get it level. I had this one level in about 2 minutes. The only part that was hard was hooking the S hooks into the pot rack itself. The trick is to get them in from the side then rotate them up, after to get one in its a snap. It only takes a moment to figure it out.Read More
Great pot rack, very well made and nice to look at
This pot rack is great, and priced well for the quality. I have an entire set of Cuisinart pots hanging on it, plus other items, so it holds a lot. Looks very classy and I've gotten lots of compliments on it. Only downside is that I have it hung so high that I can't store anything on top, like pot lids. But my kitchen is small and I have limited space - if you have a big kitchen with a place to hang it away from tall people's heads, then you'll have more room for storage on top.Read More
Very short
It was VERY disappointing they don't send you enough length in chains so it was unreachable. After a couple of days we finally heard back from the manufacture and were able to "purchase" more chains so we can actually reach the pot rack. If I had to do it all over again I would have just purchased one at a local store so I didn't have to pay the extra money for extra links that should have just come with it. Purchasing extra chains at Lowe's or Home Depot is not an option if you want the colors to match.Read More
Perfect, but for one small thing.
We got this for the kitchen of our new house. It came and was everything I hoped it would be! The color is gorgeous, and it is very sturdy. There is only one small, and very glaring problem with this product -- there is no way to adjust the length of the hanging chains. The way it is built, you can't simply hang it from a different length, as the chains don't fit through the ceiling hook. We took care of the problem by going to Home Depot and buying 4 heavy-duty clasp hooks, which we connected to a shorter part of the chain, and then affixed to the ceiling hook. This took care of the problem perfectly, but if it wasn't for this rigging, I would definitely be bonking my head on this all the time!Read More

News Magi Sequel Listed as "Opening" This Fall
posted on 2013-05-12 01:48 EDT
Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine listed the sequel to A-1 Pictures' Magi television anime as "opening" this fall, as opposed to "airing." "Opening" is the term normally used for film releases. The final episode of the Magi television anime series aired in March with the announcement that a sequel was green-lit, but did not indicate how the sequel will be released. The story's setting will take place in Magnostadt.

Picture: Bette Midler - Broadway opening night after party for 'I'll Eat You Last' held at the Booth Theatre - New York City, New York, United...
Bette Midler's turn as talent agent Sue Mengers has been hailed as the most "lusciously entertaining performance of the Broadway season" by critics following the opening night of I'll Eat You Last.
The Hollywood veteran plays the real life starmaker, who died in 2011, in the new one-woman play by Skyfall screenwriter John Logan, which opened in New York on Wednesday night (24Apr13).
The run marks Midler's first Broadway appearance in more than 30 years, and she didn't disappoint when the curtain went up.
Charles Isherwood of the New York Times writes, "Ms. Midler... gives the most lusciously entertaining performance of the Broadway season... (She) cradles a spellbound audience in the palm of her hand from first joke to last toke (sic)."
New York Daily News reviewer Joe Dziemianowicz brands Midler's performance "delicious" and "devine" and praises her comic timing as "Rolex-precise", adding, "Midler is a riot".
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter calls the play "80 irresistible minutes of primo tinseltown dish from a certified master chef. A smorgasbord of quotable one-liners and delicious anecdotes", and Elisabeth Vincentelli of the New York Post concludes the show is "wickedly entertaining".
One of Mengers' famous clients, Faye Dunaway, was in the audience for the show's opening night, along with Sting, music mogul David Geffen and actress Ellen Barkin.
I'll Eat You Last: A Chat With Sue Mengers runs until the end of June (13).

Recipe by MYRAMANI
"This cookie is very chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, BUT the entire outside is coated in sliced almonds for a fantastic look and is absolutely delicious. It is well worth the effort."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
almond paste
1 cup
all-purpose flour
egg whites
2 cups
white sugar
2 cups
confectioners' sugar
2 cups
sliced almonds
Outstanding cookie. A couple of hints I discovered. Combine the granulated sugar and almond paste in a food processor first, until it looks like sand. Place in a mixing bowl and mix in other dry ingredients and lastly add the egg whites. Chill 20 - 30 minutes and use a small ice cream scoop to get uniform portions. When rolling in almonds, flatten the cookies pressing into the almonds which helps them adhere to the cookie. Forget oiling the pan and use parchment paper instead. However, after removing from the oven, let the cookies cool at least 10 minutes before trying to remove. The cookies harden and easily slide off the parchment. If you have a shortage of pans, slide the entire parchment off the pan to let the cookies cool.
I had been looking forward to creating a batch of these due to the reviews it had been given, but I was very disappointed with the result. These cookies clung on like limpets to the baking trays. I cooked in very small batches after the first one came out glued to the cookie sheet - I baked in groups of four - and experimented with a more liberally greased baking sheet, baking parchement, more standing time on the cookie sheet after baking, less standing time on the sheet, a longer cooking time, a sorter cooking time..and finally I discovered that if I floured the sheet in addition to greasing it well, they came off a little easier, but still gave a lot of resistance and I ended up with plenty of 'casualties'. I think that if I were to make this again, I'd cook them on edible rice paper, so I could just cut the cookies off of the lining paper. The cookies themselves were quite nice warm, but once cold my family found them simply too sweet and quite flavourless. I also felt that they really did benifit from a coating in sliced almonds, as I made some coated, some uncoated and I felt the lightly toasted flavour really lifted the blandness of the cookie itself.

Without a doubt the BEST chewy almond cookie I've found!! My daughter and I thought we had tasted the best one in Europe on a recent trip but these are even better! Good tips .... begin by putting paste and white sugar in the food processor. Also beat egg whites to soft peaks before adding them and add them LAST. Also chilling the dough 30 min when assembled. Parchment paper solves any sticking problem and let them cool 10 min before remove to the wire rack. They are DIVINE!!!!!
Excellent but dough is so sticky that it's better to mix in stand mixer and pipe out using a pastry bag into the sliced almonds. Use a Silpat matt or teflon matt to bake on. Cookies just slip off when done. I find the ones from the Italian bakery in Toronto seem to have a lot more flour so will add more next time. Did add a bit of almond oil also.
Holy cow these were awesome. I split the recipe in half and still got a about 36 cookies. Made them the day before and they were still great the next day. I ran out of sliced almonds very quickly - halfway through (I was probably making the cookie s way too large) however, I just made the other half without them and they were just as good. As a matter of fact I may do that again next time because I thoguht it made a good presentation to have both on a platter. These are a little chewy but the contrast is nice - crispy on outside and chewy and soft on the inside. As the recipe says, the dough is very sticky so just pop it in the fridge for a few minutes before working with it and that helps.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Only thing I like to mention is when using egg white make sure they are @ room temperature and beaten soft peeks. Fold in with ingredients and when finally mixed together and if you still find chuck of paste, then my suggestion is with a rubber spatula press down the pieces until you don't see any chuck.
These were so WONDERFUL!!! They remind me of the cookies available at a local Italian bakery (the Missouri Bakery in St. Louis). I skipped the last step of rolling in almonds, and I also mixed the cookies with my electric mixer. I was kind of nervous about doing so, but the cookies were fantastic!
These are excellent cookies. I followed the advice of David Spaulding and they came out perfectly. The processing, adding the eggs last, chilling 30 minutes, and using parchment paper were all great suggestions. These cookies tasted great and looked very appealing. I will make these again.
