That uncharted territory was the stomping ground for Fast Company (FC) magazine, which Webber co-founded in 1995 and then sold five years later — the second-largest sale in magazine history.
I recall visiting Webber at FC's Boston office after the first issue was published to talk about his vision for this new venture. The office's contemporary, open-space design was bold and colorful
— the perfect venue for the magazine's exciting, cutting-edge, risk-taking focus.
Since the sale of FC, Webber has written several business books in addition to Rules of Thumb, including his first ebook, 2010's The Global Detective, and spoken at conferences around the world. It's an environment in which he's a native rather than a visitor. After all, Webber helped establish FC as both a magazine and an events company. I was delighted to catch up with him in Santa Fe, where he now lives, to learn about the events side of the FC enterprise.
Let's dig right in. The world of meeting design and delivery in some ways remains stuck. Why do you think that is?
Most organizations do not keep up with change. At FC, we always referred to meetings as "gatherings," as we were into creating a new language and into simple-speak. Words always matter.
Before FC existed, [FC co-founder] Bill Taylor -my partner in crime — and I decided that we would test a set of ideas behind FC by having a gathering. We found an underwriter to support an event that we called an "Advance." Because a retreat, a commonly used term, means going backward, we preferred "Advance," which looks forward.
We held the Advance in Santa Fe and invited 50 cool people from business, consultants, academics — thinkers, doers, and smart people. The organizing question for the Advance was "How do you overthrow a successful company?" The metaphor was that we [would] put your organization on the operating table and diagnose what was wrong. These were all successful companies, but what about their future?
The atmosphere was informal, interesting, curious, equalitarian, and freewheeling, leading to significant outcomes. The Advance confirmed our theory that it is useful to have another conversation about business that was not offered by established publications, helped grow our FC vocabulary, created a group of early adoptors, generated seed money, and began FC's evolution as an idea incubator. The real story is that before there was a magazine, there was an event.
Was there one event or several?
The Advance was our first event, and then we added several more. We were both a magazine and an events business. We hired amazing, committed, talented people to run the events, who were passionate about the magazine and the events. We were team-oriented and collaborative.
We continued the Advances by invitation. They were carefully designed and held in cool places. We sought people who demonstrated a particular quality of mind, curiosity, entrepreneurial thinking; people who were trying new things and were influential in their sectors.
The Advances were test kitchens, and after FC was launched, we did at least one Advance a year, recording them and turning the content into Fast Company articles. Events became a feedback loop.
We also created Real Time, attracting 1,000-plus people. Attendees experienced FC in real time. Instead of reading it, people were also doing it! Many of the speakers appeared in Fast Company's pages. It was a brilliant strategy, because it was an opportunity to listen to readers and they paid to tell us what they wanted to read.
Why did you make some events by invitation rather than open them to anyone who was interested?
The Advances were a very select group of people who provided ideas, served as influencers, and carried forward FC ideas. Interesting folks met and formed their own club or tribe. Many lifelong friendships and new businesses were started.
We learned that planners work as hard to deliver a small event as a large one. We always charged for every event to at least cover costs and often to make a profit.
From the first issue onward, we articulated Fast Company as the place for new business conversations. We insisted on having the first word and not the last. We were very explicit that we wanted to sponsor conversations that would fundamentally change how business was done.
Over time, readers would send us emails and say, "I am in Columbus, Ohio, and I love your magazine. Are there other subscribers in Columbus with whom I can connect in person?" So, The Company of Friends was created, which was our version of the Elks Club or Chamber of Commerce, but for people who were different in generation and thinking. They wanted to gather on their own terms, to develop a different vocabulary, feel, and design sensibility. We supported the organization of hundreds of Company of Friends chapters all over the world. The first one that I attended was in Paris.
So they would say, "Friday night at this restaurant, there is a Company of Friends gathering. One of the authors of a Fast Company article is in town; we will have a short speech and then a conversation about it."
This format became so popular that we gathered the conveners and had a summit about how to make The Company of Friends an even stronger and more powerful tool.
How did you monetize The Company of Friends?
We didn't. It wasn't our goal. It did increase subscriptions, advertising sales, and contributed to FC's overall growth and health.
We wanted our advertisers to realize that we have the most involved and engaged readers of any magazine in America. We had loyalty from people globally who clamored to affiliate with us. We figured the money would take care of itself, and it did.
One of the things we learned at FC is that authenticity is very often the coin of the realm. You can promise all kinds of things, but you must match words to actions. Organizations have a short window to demonstrate authenticity of purpose, values, and a sense of why they are in business and what's in it for the customer.
Your organizing question at the first Advance was how to overthrow a successful organization. Why?
If you don't overthrow your own successful organization, then someone else will do it to you. We saw a world where young entrepreneurial startups were overthrowing large successful organizations because they had a very different and better business model. FC was based on disrupting the typical business model to ensure a better future.
We can disrupt businesses and events with a different design, look and feel, vocabulary, and a different connection to the customer. If we are disruptors, we will end up creating a more positive future. That is what we believed, and exactly what happened. You can go down the list of successful companies and note that the ones on the top are the disruptors. Twenty years ago, we were saying [that] everything you take for granted, all the assumptions you are making about how your business model works, how your employees and customers feel about it, how you make money, how you create value, where you compete — will all change. The same is true today about meetings and events. Planners

IOWA CITY — Steele Jantz saw the play unfolding like a quarterback.
All 6-foot-7, 265 pounds of C.J. Fiedorowicz was running open, and if Jantz could see how open Fiedorowicz was, he knew Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg couldn't miss him.
But as 70,585 fans inside Kinnick Stadium collectively rose to their feet anticipating a huge play, something else caught Jantz's eye — Jake Knott.
The rest is history.
Knott's interception at the Iowa State 24 with 1 minute, 11 seconds left helped preserve the Cyclones' 9-6 victory over the Hawkeyes Saturday in the 60th meeting of the in-state rivals.
It also kept the Cy-Hawk Trophy in Ames as Iowa State won for the second consecutive time in the series and for the first time inside Kinnick since 2002.
"Well, I'm a quarterback so I was looking at the pass play and I saw 86 (Fiedorowicz)," Jantz said. "Then I immediately saw Jake, and it happened so fast."
As Vandenberg unleashed his throw for what most likely would've given Iowa the ball inside the Iowa State 20 with a chance to send the game into overtime or win it, Knott leaped high into the air, tipped the ball and then hauled it in to a collective groan from the Hawkeye faithful and glee from the Cyclone nation.
"I don't where that ranks, but that is one of the best plays I've seen and been a part of in my whole life," added Jantz.
In a game full of big defensive plays, Knott's interception will be talked about for years to come.
Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads recalled a Dave Wannstedt saying when the two coached together at Pittsburgh in a game against West Viriginia, a Pitt win.
"These are the games that legends are made in," Rhoads recalled Wannstedt saying.
"We had a guy by the name of Darrelle Revis who had a punt return in that game and that was a phenomenal football play," Rhoads added. "Jake Knott made that kind of play in a series that will have him go down in history.
"Who knows how high he was in the air or what the level of the ball was when he made the play, but to do that after 59 minutes of football with our backs against the wall ... the momentum clearly in their favor, and he had the presence of mind to settle it and find it and then intercept it. You do not make better plays than that in this game," continued Rhoads.
It had been a defensive war all day long after both teams scored on their opening possessions.
Iowa State (2-0) took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in 10 plays with Jantz going 5-for-5 and capping it with a 5-yard scoring strike to Aaron Horne.
Iowa responded with a 77-yard drive that stalled inside the Cyclone 5-yard line and had to settle for a 22-yard Mike Meyer field goal.
So, it was 6-3 after two offensive possessions.
But Iowa (1-1) never consistently got going offensively, accumulating just 302 total yards of offense and going 5-for-17 on third downs.
Iowa State had multiple chances to put the game away, but three times the Cyclones turned the ball over inside the Hawkeye 20-yard line.
Shontrelle Johnson fumbled on the Iowa 10 in the first quarter, and in the third quarter Jantz and running back James White had a miscommunication that led to a fumble recovered by the Hawkeyes' James Morris at the 20.
With a chance for Iowa State to seal the game with 3:23 left, Morris made another huge play on a third-and-goal from the Iowa 7 by stepping in front of a Jantz pass and returning it to midfield.
"I thought for sure in the second half they really grew up a bit," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said of his defense, which limited Iowa State to 342 yards. "We were more decisive, more confident and it certainly didn't hurt that a couple of guys made some plays."
After the Morris interception, Iowa saw a fourth-and-10 pass to Don Shumpert go in and out of his hands with 3:02 left, seemingly ending the Hawkeyes' hopes.
But Iowa's defense rose up again and forced the Cyclones to go three-and-out, and by using its remaining two timeouts, Iowa got the ball back on its 10 with 1:56 remaining.
Vandenberg hit Keenan Davis for a 29-yard gain on a fourth-and-3 to get Iowa to midfield. Back-to-back completions of 10 and 12 yards to Damon Bullock got the Hawkeyes to the Iowa State 32.
On the next play, Fiedorowicz ran open.
"You know, maybe the throw wasn't perfect," Ferentz said. "I don't know, but it was a great effort by Knott. He is an outstanding football player. It looked like he went up there and got it."
Knott and fellow all-Big 12 linebacker A.J. Klein talked prior to the play about what they expected the Hawkeyes to run.
"It was a play they ran earlier and we kind of knew that it might come if they ran a certain way," Knott said. "It just came with film study. Me and A.J. were talking before the play and kind of got lucky he didn't get a little more air on it because it would've been a big play for them."
"It's a great victory," Rhoads said. "I'm very proud of our kids. Two teams that hung around and persevered and then jumped at the opportunity to win a football game.
"Number 20 decided to go win a football game."

This tea is a pleasant combination of pungency and mildness. The flavor is citrusy/spicey and the mint does not really add a flavor but just a cool sensation. Very nice, organic tea and good for evening, after-meal digestion.

Organizers have said it could have a shot in November 2014, but the end game remains to be seen. For now, state law prevents gay couples from being legally married in Ohio, a rule that extends to the northern shoreline and Cedar Point.
Thus, the rules cited by the park in a shortly advertised — then canceled — contest for 13 couples to get married on the grounds during Friday the 13th for the opening of HalloWeekends. When Akron couple Scott Kenimond, 37, and Eric Morrison, 28, saw the original posting on the park's blog, OnPoint, they thought they'd found their dream wedding — or at least ceremony, since they can't legally be married in Ohio.
"He was elated. He was beside himself so happy," Morrison said, in describing his partner's demeanor. They've been engaged for a few months after meeting online, bonding over their love for roller coasters then dating for a year.
"It was one of the things that made me message him. First I thought, 'He looks cute,'" Morrison said.
"My username was WickedTwister. He knew right away I was a fan," he said.
The couple had been considering a Cedar Point wedding anyway. At first, the blog post was a sign. Then they read the fine print: Due to marriage laws in Ohio, weddings are limited to male-female couples only.
The post had advertised wedding ceremonies and a chance for already married couples to renew their vows, so the disclaimer didn't make sense to Morrison and Kenimond. "It doesn't matter if it's legal or not," Morrison said. "You should be able to have a commitment ceremony. For God's sakes, you're getting married by a zombie."
So they decided to take on the challenge, asking friends and strangers to Tweet at Cedar Point to allow gay couples to apply. Morrison made postings on two coaster blogs and reddit, and the response took off.
After some brief communication with park officials, however, it was over. Cedar Point simply decided to cancel the contest.
In response to questions for this story, the park offered a brief statement, clarifying there was no negative intent for the contest and it was meant to generate excitement for the kickoff of HalloWeekends. "When the promotion logistics started to take on political undertones, as indicated by several guests who gave us feedback, it was decided that now is not the best time for this event," read a statement issued by park spokesman Bryan Edwards. "Cedar Point does not take any official stance on political issues," it said. The park does offer opportunities outside of promotions for couples to have weddings, commitment ceremonies and other events at the park, he said.
"We encourage guests to contact us if they're interested in planning such an event," he said.
As someone who works in marketing, Morrison said he understood the strategy from a business standpoint — but he was disappointed by it. "For them, this was not a political commotion. It was simply to drum up interest for HalloWeekends and they had a stance where they chose not to choose a stance," he said.
"I'm disappointed they would choose to go that way rather than stand behind their LGBT community," he said. "Ultimately, they're playing it safe. But it's a cowardly choice."

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 13 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by The Wet bandit Try another outdoor table I could not find a negative review of this table on the internet so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, the aluminum all weather surface gives the ball a very poor, inconsistent bounce. Table tennis regulations state a ball must bounce a certain height when dropped and this table doesn't even come close. If you drop the ball over areas where a beam is underneath the surface of the table, you can actually hear and see a better bounce. If you are at all accustomed to table tennis already, look to a different table. If you don't care, and just want an inexpensive outdoor table it's fine. September 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by CatMom Hassle-Free Canadian Shopping! This table is excellent! It is blue in colour w a great surface & bounce, opens & closes easily, and is super light & easy for one person to roll away once folded. The single play option is great! We have it outside on our brick patio and can easily roll it under our covered porch if needed. The wheels are a great quality. We will bring it into our basement in the winter to play, but will have to take it apart a bit to move it in. It only took my husband 2hrs to assemble by himself! He only needed help to lift up the table top to slide it over & onto the bars. Just be organized w the parts & careful not to scratch anything! It was on sale for $499 w a $20 coupon at check-out! Shipping was $146.50 that included a delivery to a home! We are Canadian customers so it had to be shipped to a U.S address. It cannot be shipped to a Dick's store for p/u and they do not ship to Canada :( We picked it up at a relatives w a pickup truck & brought it back over. We saved the HST! We chose this table b/c it was the least expensive outdoor table Dicks had, was on sale and had good reviews. It only took 7 bus. days to come. It's shipping status was easy to follow & very accurate. Be home when they call the morning of the shipment to answer the phone or they will not deliver the table! It is in a large flat box & is 100+ lbs. I bought the Killerspin Table Cover #604-01. It's exactly as shown in photo, a bit baggy, but it's heavy enough not to blow off. It's excellent quality and it covers the table when opened or closed. Stiga & Butterfly covers didn't get good reviews! Also got Stiga 3star Balls & the Stiga Flow Outdoor Rackets online at Dicks.com w free ship (to U.S address) I did a lot of research for a good outdoor table, cover and rackets w good delivery times & prices. We aren't pro players so I have no idea how really good these products are, but from the POV of a Mom w 2 tween boys & needing to have more outdoor activities at home for friends and family to enjoy, all of this stuff is of excellent quality and we are pleased! I don't do a lot of cross border shopping but with the convenience of having it 20 mins away, a relative there, use of a p/u truck and the amount of $$$ I actually saved on these items...I did it this time :)) As a Canadian shopper making a USD$ online purchase, I am pleased! I never order online, but yes I will shop the Dick's site again! April 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Lioness Outdoor table tennis table The family has found a wonderful way to interact. From our six year old up to and including the adults this table is great. Full size, but adaptable.. Bought online, but it was an exclusion to the free shipping. Very pricey to ship. Hand tools to put it together were a drag but, power tools finished the job quickly. December 23, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by John Conger High quality table All metal parts, easy to put together. It was a little more than i wanted to pay, but for once i was impressed with the quality of something i bought online without seeing it in person. October 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chris Perfect for playing on the patio I'm not a professional player, but this table is perfect for outside family fun. December 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Yo Good recreational table The table itself is good for recreational use and works the way it is described. It it NOT a tournament level table. It works great for the purpose that I purchased it as an outdoor recreational table. We did have one issue with missing parts, but we called the manufacture and they are sending the missing parts. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by JPA13 This table provides hours and hours of fun I needed an outdoor table for my porch and liked what I saw with this one. Although I ordered it in November, I was concerned that it would not arrive by Christmas because I didn't hear anything until Dec. 23rd. It got delivered on the 24th, which was perfect. The assembly instructions are better than most, and with a little family help we had no trouble getting this ready for play in under a couple hours. I was concerned about a metal surface, but the ball bounces off it very well. The table folds up and moves very easily, and we have had great fun with it. The underside of the table was a little scratched from shipping or handling, but no significant damage. December 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Beach in Brooklyn Great Quality, Better Price! We had been thinking about an outdoor ping pong table for a while, when this one went on sale, the decision got a lot easier. We ended up paying much less than everywhere else I've seen it listed. Don't forget to buy a cover for it if storing outside! We did accidentally scratch it during setup.. But it was our own fault. August 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dan Awesome value Just got this delivered to my backyard this week, assembly started slow, but once we switched to a drill to drive in screws, piece of cake. Plays great, we are all enjoying, and PS, this table is far more expensive at other websites/stores. THIS IS A VERY GOOD DEAL, LOOKS AND PLAYS GREAT. July 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Joe solid constructed table I am impressed with the solid construction on the table. Well made. Table is reasonable to put together not very heavy to move around. The manager Jeff at the Roseville, MN store was awesome. Totally made me want to shop at that store again. The couple of issues I had was the table wasn't quite square after installation was complete but the net posts pull in together the 1/2 - 1 inch it was off. The net is odd and too long to be tight on the posts. After sewing the Net on one side to make a tighter fit we are in business. April 4, 2012

Catalyst 6500
The supervisor engines for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series deliver the latest advanced switching technology with proven Cisco software to power a new generation of scalable and intelligent multilayer switching solutions for both enterprise and service provider environments. Designed to integrate data, voice, and video into a single platform for fully integrated IP communications, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series supervisor engines enable intelligent, resilient, scalable, and secure high performance multilayer switching solutions.
The widely deployed Supervisor Engine 1A and Supervisor Engine 2 are used in wiring closets, distribution/core, data center, and WAN edge configurations enabling the seamless integration of advanced services such as security, voice, and content into a converged network that reduces the total cost of ownership.
By sharing a common set of interfaces, operating system and management tools, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series supervisors provide operational consistency-enabling common sparing and minimizing training requirements; all modules feature predictable performance and a broad range of capabilities. Supervisor Engine 1A and Supervisor Engine 2 highlights include:
• Feature-rich and wire-rate intelligent network services-Support and complement comprehensive security and granular quality of service mechanisms, including identity-based networking capabilities based on IEEE 802.1x extensions and simplified configuration using two AutoQoS commands
• End-to-end flexible deployments-Position anywhere in the network from the wiring closet to the distribution/ core, and from the data center to the WAN edge and the MAN
• Scalable and predictable performance-Feature a flexible switch fabric and forwarding architecture delivering throughput from 15 Mpps/32 Gbps (Classic interface modules), to 30 Mpps/256 Gbps (CEF256 interface modules), to 210 Mpps/256 Gbps (dCEF256 interface modules) for network cores supporting multi-gigabit trunks
• Flexible multilayer switching support and forwarding architectures-Select basic Layer 2 forwarding or feature-rich Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) using the same supervisor
• Choice of operating system support-Support both Cisco IOS® Software, Cisco Catalyst OS software, and Hybrid (Cisco Catalyst OS software and Cisco IOS Software for the MSFC)
• Operational consistency-Support all 3 generations of Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series interface and services modules in all Cisco Catalyst 6500 3-, 6-, 9-, and 13-slot chassis running Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Catalyst Operating System Software and a common set of Cisco network management tools that support the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 1A and 2 as well as many other Cisco Systems® product lines. (13-slot chassis is compatible with Supervisor Engine 2 only).
• Maximum network uptime and user productivity-Provide fault-tolerant network resilience and high availability features including fast 1- to 3-second stateful failover between redundant Cisco Catalyst 6500 supervisor engines enabling near-hitless software upgrades for business-critical network environments, including IP-telephony enabled wiring closets
• Extensive management tools-Support CiscoWorks network management platform, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1, 2, and 3 and four RMON groups (statistics, history, alarms, and events)
As part of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series of modular products, Supervisor Engines 1A and 2 share a common operating system and CLI-encouraging an end-to-end Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series solution for maximum operational consistency, common sparing, and minimized training requirements (Figure 1).

Comments On Aug 22, 2015:Install 2.5 hrs with two people. Direction could have been better. overall fit and finish good. Does not work with Factory Rock sliders. Had to modify to get the sliders to fit back on which took an additional 2.5 hrs.

Comments On Jun 03, 2015:Fits great, easy to install. I haven't had a chance to try it as of yet but it's a very well made product and is a lot tougher then the stock skid plate. It also protects a lot more then the stock skid.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 11, 2015:This is definitely a nice skid plate set. BUT..... that being said, I did not buy it only to add protection. I bought it because the stock skid plate was trashed. I was very disappointed to find I needed to use my existing hardware. Needless to say, the hardware was as bad as the stock plate. Come guys, another $3 in hardware would have got you a 5 star rating from me. Now I have to order some recessed washers to complete my installation. Bummed....

Comments On Dec 20, 2014:Satisfied with exception to fit at rockers on both sides. All holes misaligned fore & aft by 1/2 hole to full hole. As work-around to insure secure mounting I moved approx. 1", drilled skid, drilled frame, tapped threads & mounting. Also would have liked to seen the skid sides match angled to ease installation.

Comments On Nov 25, 2014:This was a great item, I was hanging up with the stock plate and this one lets the rzr slide over rocks and peaks with ease. Would recommend to anyone to protect there investment.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 18, 2014:Over all good product. Strong & sturdy & glides over rocks & trees easier than plastic skids. Wasn't to happy with the outside mounting screws along the outer edges. They used 1\4" tapered head screws, unlike the original cups that Polaris & FactoryUTV uses. Seems like they may eventually pull threw someday. We'll see.....

Comments On Aug 02, 2014:Riding in Nevada we have no shortages of rock gardens. The stock skid was getting pretty beat up and damaged the stock washers and bolts to the point I had to drill them out and add threaded inserts. Since the washers are like 5 bucks a piece there has to be a solution. This skid plate mounted easy and provides much better protection front to rear and side to side than the stock plate. I have hit a few rocks since the install and it protected the mounting bolts and washers (More recessed) and quiets the rock hits from underneath. It does have a couple of dents and scratches but nothing too serious. It does allow you to slide over obstacles much better than the stock plate. I'm glad I purchased it and although not cheap it gives greater peace of mind while driving through all the rock gardens we have and lets me enjoy the ride more with out feeling like I have to watch the trail for every little rock. Shipped fast. Rocky Mountain Excels at customer service.

Comments On Jun 22, 2014:Fits great. Two people job. Only thing is one hole was not recessed for the factory hardware. Worked on my 13 jagged x.

Comments On May 24, 2014:I installed the skid plate within an hour with the help of my 12 year old. Very detailed instruction. Tons better then the stock one. It should save my under carriage. The only problem I ran into was the bolt length for the front plate. I have a front bumper and neither bolts were long enough. A trip to the local store and $1.50 later we were golden. Thanks RM ATV.

All these years I have been telling you how good my IR 5hp air compressor has been.
The compressor is about 48 yrs. old. The other day I heard a bearing noise in the motor that sounded like trouble.
This is the 3rd motor, the original was replaced by a Beldor, the Beldor was replaced by a Dayton, so now I have to replace the Dayton.
I had my new man Wesley( he is the kid that won the FFA welding competition that I told you about in another post) look at the numbers (young eyes).
He told me 3hp. I say no its a 5hp.He says but it says 3hp. I take the chalk of my pocket and chalk the numbers, put on the glasses and see it says 3hp. What?
At this point I have 3 options: 1 new bearings, 2 new motor, or 3 up grade to a 7.5hp compressor.
I skip #1 and try #2 new 5hp motor and adapter was close to 900 from Grainger.
Wesley calls me and says NAPA can get IR compressors.
So I get a bid from NAPA, Grainger, and my LWS Barnes Welding, on a 7.5hp compressor.
NAPA was too high for an IR over Grainger, but Barnes had a Champion on sale.
It was a little more money but right here in town and delivered.
I remove the old IR and made a 3 drop copper cooling system and tie in to the old air system in the paint barn.
I put the new compressor in the shop until I can get an electrican to change the wires in the paint barn.
Then I read the owners manual, 80% duty cycle?????
Every other compressor I looked at was 100% duty cycle.
On the start up all tanks empty it goes over the duty cycle. But after that it takes 4 mins. to refill the tanks.
3hp, no wonder I had booster tanks all over the shop.
So you see I only sorta lied.
Good Luck,

Champion compressors are one of the best you can buy. I have had a 5hp 80gal tank in my garage for over 10yrs and never a problem or even a hint of one. We have a 10hp duplex (twin 10hp) with 120gal tank in the shop I work at and never had a serious problem (1 valve bad) and the work it is put through (6 guys running air tools) gets hard but it does it without any problem. It was one of the best upgrades we/I have done. If Champion is the one you got you are in good hands, the build quality on the Champion's is far better then the IR and 99% of others.

Currently I am welding for a Military Contractor. We do repair and retrofit on LAVs and fabricate new parts for LAVs. The processes are very precise and there is lots of training involved. I did 6 weeks of training with MIG when I started this job.
My apprenticeship consisted of 2.5 years in a rinky dink fab shop, and a year and a half working various Boilermaker Union jobs. I have my CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) Cert. for structural and my B-Pressure ticket for pipe. I'm looking at getting into inspection later this year.

im a fifth year union apprentice pipefitter/welder out of western colorado. also a licensed plumber. started welding in the second year of my apprenticeship but only sporadically. finally started taking it serious two years ago when i realized how much i enjoyed it. not to mention where it can take me in life. now i spend all my spare time when i'm not workin down at the hall learning somethin new. its finally paid off. got myself three stick certs and 2 tig certs and hopefully another tig out one here if it shoots. finally get the opportunity to go out in the real world and really learn how to weld. on the job and not in a test booth
I do instrumentation and process control. Just hired on at a new sewage treatment plant that seems to be a pretty exciting opportunity.

Plays in the dirt
I am a landscaper in Southwest Montana, Big Sky country. I do everything from plant tree's and shrubs to build flagstone and paver patio's. Irrigation, steel edging, bolder retaining walls, skid loaders, excavators, sod, the list goes on and on. In the winter the company sells Christmas tree's, and we do some shop work, repairs, fabrication and such. I also Pastor a church that I started 3 years ago, I do stay a bit busy. I have been bit by the welding bug hard this last winter, and any welding I do is either at the shop (very little) or for my own personal enjoyment hobby and relaxiation. I plan on buying my first welder in about 2 or 3 months.

My job
I am a 23-year IBEW electrician. Mostly on large commercial/industrial/powerhouse/nuke jobs. I am working towards getting my journeyman welding classification to give myself more job opportunities. I am currently taking instruction at a technical college. I really enjoy the challenge and I am looking forward to learning everything I can. This site has been very helpful in achieving that goal. Thanks all.

Retired and enjoying every **** minute of it
I spent 8yrs, 2 mos, 16 days in the Navy - then 34 years in the medical device field. Started in field service, then sales and marketing and then a staff position. I was bored so I decide to retire and have some fun.
The economy slowed me down a little because of the market but I still have enough to live comfortably, I hope.
I moved back to Texas, built a retirement home with an 1800 square foot garage - there is room for a lift and my toys, this is where I spend most of my time. I do a little wood working, a little automobile transformation - currently putting a Ford 5.0L V8 in a little '99 Miata. Then I do some hobby welding. I started with Oxy welding years ago, 50 or so.... I bought a Lincoln Mig a few years ago and then recently a New Miller Syncro 200 and I am learning to Tig. I am going to start a class at local JC June 7th - in the mean time I have gone thru 2 tanks of gas and many tungsten electrodes, contaminated a few while dipping.
I have always admired a good looking weld and those that could produce them. I remember making a set of headers for an engine swap when I was about 18 years old. They were not purdy but they worked and didn't leak that bad either. This is how I remember them anyway.
Excuse me - I have to get back to my "Honey-dos" now!

I've been a software engineer for 25 years (currently at Apple). A few years ago I got bitten by the homebrew CNC bug and have been building NC milling machines at home since.
Homebrew CNC machines never seem strong enough, so I decided my next machine's table needs to be made of steel.
So, I've now got a Diversion 180 TIG and am having a blast learning how to use it. TIG seemed to be the right process for me, since I'm pretty good at fine pitch soldering and I like the slower, more controlled pace.
Back to the garage for more practice!
i run a mobile welding and repair service as well as consulting .but due to the economy i've had to relocate from az to tx to make a go at it here i like it here much better great people and better weather
my welding was self taught and by reading and watching others
i took a welding class through the union and it was ok but i spent most of my time teaching othersDaniel
someone please tell me I'm wrong

Systems Architect (Engineer for large computer systems).
I learned to weld because I couldn't bear to pay someone a fortune to come out and make repairs to my skid steer, trailer and truck. Welding helps keep me from going insane with the stupidity I encounter at work.
Started with OA, got an AC/DC stick welder this year and love it. Have repaired mowers, a cement mixer, made steel security doors, plant hangers, repaired heavy equipment trailer and built tractor implements.

Despite risking their drivers taking each other out, Paddy Lowe says Mercedes made the right call in allowing Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to race in Bahrain.
Whereas many teams in the past have shown a reluctance to let their drivers race, Mercedes did the exact opposite at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg fought it out - at times wheel to wheel - on no fewer than three occasions on Sunday night.
Even in the wake of the Safety Car with just ten laps remaining, Mercedes refused to issue team orders and only urged both drivers to bring the cars home.
Their battle was undoubtedly the highlight of not only the grand prix but the 2014 season to date.
"Imagine if we had imposed team orders from lap two or something - what a terrible thing that would be for F1 and for the philosophy of Mercedes in motorsport," Lowe told Autosport.
"It is something that we owe to ourselves; we owe to the sport and owe to the drivers.
"They are professionals and you want to give them the opportunity to race, which is what they do."
The Mercedes executive director added that he never had any concerns about the two wrecking each other, confident they would not cross that line.
"To be honest, I didn't get overly stressed about it because I know they are great professionals," he said.
"They are experienced drivers, they know what it takes. I gave them a little bit of a reminder during the Safety Car that it is all about bringing the car home.
"But that didn't mean don't race - it just meant there is a line not to cross which is if you endanger the car. They did a perfect job of that."

CANTON, Ohio -- A 21-year-old Canton woman died Saturday after the driver of the car she was in fled from a police traffic stop and crashed about a mile away.
A highway patrol trooper stopped Christopher W. Dinger, 27, of Canton, for speeding at Cherry Street SE, north of U.S. Route 30, at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Dinger stopped at first, but then sped away after the trooper got out of his car.
Dinger was headed east on E. Tuscarawas Street for less than a mile when he lost control of the car, spun out and slid off the left side of the road, hitting a curb. His front seat passenger, Stephanie A. Casto, was thrown from the car.
Casto was taken to Aultman Hospital where she died from her injuries.
A trooper saw Dinger running from the crash scene as he pulled up. Dinger was apprehended and arrested shortly thereafter. He was treated for minor injuries at Aultman Hospital.
Alcohol is suspected as a factor. Dinger submitted to a breath test at the Canton Highway Patrol Post, revealing .088 percent blood alcohol content. Ohio's legal limit is .08 percent.
Dinger was also driving with a suspended license and had an active arrest warrant for failure to appear in court, highway patrol said.
He was taken to the Stark County Jail and charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana after the drugs were found in his vehicle.
The crash remains under investigation and additional charges are expected as Ohio State Highway Patrol continues to work with the Canton City Prosecutor's Office.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by David Brown Get relief from ambient noiseBose has long enjoyed a solid reputation for the quality and performance of their noise reducing headphones. Compared to earlier models, the QuietComfort® 15 headphones reduce more noise across a wider range of frequencies, thanks to advances the company has made in their proprietary Acoustic Noise Cancelling® technology. Quite simply, these are the best noise reduction headphones Bose has ever made. Better noise cancellation with innovative Bose technologyThe QuietComfort® 15 headphones feature microphones on both the outside and inside of each earcup that pick up the ambient sounds in your listening environment. Special circuitry inside the earcups then reacts instant by instant to produce an opposite, canceling signal. This circuitry efficiently minimizes unwanted external noises, so they don't interfere with the music from your portable player or the dialogue from in-flight movies.The QuietComfort® 15 headphones also feature Bose's innovative TriPort® technology. It uses tiny vents in the earcups to produce a tonally balanced sound with deep, rich bass. Enjoy peace and quiet while you travel.Take calls. Take control.Bose includes a headphone cable made for select Apple® products. A three-button remote control built into the cable lets you conveniently answer, end, and switch between phone calls, control the volume of your calls or music, and pause, play, or skip through your songs. You can even enjoy hands-free conversations on your iPhone®, thanks to the remote's built-in microphone. The microphone also lets you take advantage of the voice control feature found on many of the latest iPhone, iPod® and iPad® models. Just hold down the button and say your command.A comfortable listening experienceThe earcups feature a plush cushion material that feels great. Plus, their around-the-ear design helps further seal out distracting noises. An adjustable headband helps ensure comfortable listening for hours on end, making these headphones great for long trips. You also get convenient portability — the earcups fold flat for easy storage in the included carry case. The single-sided cord helps resist tangles, and you can even disconnect the cord altogether and just let the QuietComfort® 15 headphones wrap your ears in soothing, restful silence.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I started looking for noise reduction headphones the day after I booked my latest long flight. After trying other noise reduction headphones I bought these Bose for the simple reason that they were combination of noise reduction and sound quality I could find at any price. While they do not completely remove the sound of an airplane they make it much more tolerable for long trips. The noise reduction in my office work environment is outstanding. The sound quality is good fairly flat response, not like my studio headphones but quiet good none the less and better than other noise canceling ones I have tried. The case that comes with them does a great job and not only has room for the headphones but there is enough room for a MP3 player as well so you have everything you need to tune out the world and tune into some good music. Pros: Comfort, Noise Reduction, and comfort. Battery life is long. Good case. Cons: None found yet. Was this review helpful? Yes No Best Choice Written By Lala, Kailua Kona, HI on Saturday, January 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Called Crutchfield for product information and ended up purchasing in the same phone call. Decided on Bose Quiet Comfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones specifically for Bose quality and for use with my iPods, iPhone and iPad. The cool Limited Edition Blue was a total plus. Pros: Super comfortable and great storage case. Worth the cost. Cons: Haven't found one yet. Was this review helpful? Yes No A world of my own Written By Ebeneezer, Huntington Beach, CA on Sunday, December 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality My gym is raucous. They play terrible music, and they play it loud. My Bose Quiet Comforts allow me to dwell in a world of sound that's all my own. I'm insulated from the obstreperous youth that seem to dictate the terms of our lives with their juveniles taste. I get to savor Dvorak, Dexter Gordon, Brubeck and Telleman while I'm in the weight room. Then to the elliptical machine where I read without distraction as my headphones play white noise and seal out the surrounding aural chaos. They're life-savers. When I'm listening to music, it's clean and clear; when I'm on white noise, I'm on my own. They're a great investment in enjoyment and sanity. Pros: Superb sound quality, good fit, easy to use. Cons: I haven't yet figured out how to change the pads when they start deteriorating from the sweat. Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Headphones Written By JeffL, Los Angeles on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality You expect the best form Bose, and these phones deliver. My third pair of headphones from Bose, these have the best sound yet, and are very comfortable. I still rate the on-ear Bose headphones as more comfortable than these surround-ear phones. But these are way more comfortable than the previous phones of this type from Bose. Pros: Sound quality; battery Was this review helpful? Yes No Silence IS golden! Written By Susan R., Dublin, OH on Saturday, December 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Bought those as. Birthday present for my husband, whose birthday happened to be the day before we flew 2,000 miles. He loved them, said that they were very comfortable, and very effective. In regards to the baby that cried the entire two and a half hours of one leg of the trip, he said he never heard him. The cost was definitely worth not having to listen to him whine about a crying baby, or be all grumpy from the cabin noise. If he is happy, I am much more comfortable. Pros: Comfortable, efficient, sound quality. Cons: A little pricey unless you are very picky about sound quality Was this review helpful? Yes No Got Bose QC-15 after a lot of research Written By James, Bethel, AK on Saturday, December 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I have had multiple sets of headphones, both noise-cancelling and not (Sennhesers, Sony, and Grados), and have high expectations of good sound quality and noise-cancelling ability. I did a lot of research for noise-cancelling headphones, and everywhere I looked, it pointed to the Bose QC-15. After all of the hype, I finally took the "plunge" and paid the price for the Bose. I did not like to pay this much for these, but the other competitors, such as Sennheiser, Beats, Sony (what a joke!) and Klipsch, (among others) were equally expensive, if not more, but neither one could beat the reviews of the Bose from all of my research. After receiving the Bose QC-15, I must say that the sound quality was relatively good, even though I felt that the base was a bit "muddy" and the highs were a bit on the harsh side, but overall, very comparable to my Senheisers. It did not meet the sound quality however of my Grado's, but I feel that its closeness to it, along with some very good noise-cancelling abilities, it was more than enough for me! I do have a couple of drawbacks so far with the QC-15, and it is the very thin cord that come with the headphones, and the excessive use of plastic components in the construction of the headphones. Having said all of this, I am still willing to recommend the Bose QC-15. The package as a whole works to my expectations and demands of good sound and excellent noise-canceling. So if this is what you are wanting, you might as well go with the Bose! Pros: Great noise-cancelling ability Comfortable "Cool" looking Cons: Thin Cord Built with too much plastic...quality issue? 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality verry good Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Investment!!!! Amazing sound and noise reduction! Written By VickiW, Derby, KS on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I purchased these after much debate. Wasn't sure it would be worth the price. Instead, I got a bargain!!!! I flew from Kansas to Chicago to Italy. This Bose headset was a lifesaver. When I wasn't listening to music, which sounded just as great as my Bose Acoustic Wave at home, I was sleeping. The 'noise reduction' feature is amazing. I highly recommend these. I haven't tried them mowing the yard yet,but will next spring. Pros: Lightweight, comfortable (I even have problems with earmuffs as I have a small head), the protective case is an added plus! Cons: Hmmmmm......can't think of a thing! 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Not the best by any means Written By CaseyJones, Des Moines, IA on Friday, November 16, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality These are the headphones people buy when they want to spend this much to think they're cool, but haven't actually listened to other headphones at the same price. Sennheiser, Grado, AKG...they all leave these headphones in the dust. Be an educated consumer before you buy. I returned these and went back to some $90 Grado's that I bought 10 yrs ago. Pros: I did get comments from people when I was using these out in public. But these people didn't strike me as particularly knowing anything about music or sound reproduction. More like, "yeah those Bose are cool, they must have cost a lot of money" Cons: There is absolutely no detail on the extreme high, or low end of the musical spectrum. Mid bass is muddy. The noise cancellation feature leaves a thickness to everything that obscures the music. 1 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sounds great, BUT not for the price Written By Joe, Brea, CA on Thursday, November 15, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality They sounds great and all, but for less than half the price you could get the same quality in something that isn't BOSE! What a waste of money!! Pros: Sound quality Cons: Overpriced when Sennheiser makes headphones for under $100 that sound just as good! 2 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bose QuietComfort 15 Written By MEL, GPS on Monday, November 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I love this headphone,it's great no question about it you can hear all the different instrument. Pros: The best headphone. Cons: Nothing. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bose headphone at its best Written By Allen Njoku, West Hempstead New York on Saturday, November 10, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality This is my first Bose Headphone. I have tried so many brands in my years of using earphones and headphones but this one has separated itself from others. The noise cancelling is perfect. I couldn't hear the engine noise of Air Bus A380 from New York to Paris and all the noise around the house with kids compared to when I used to use Sony , Dr. Dre, etc. This masterpiece is a separation of excellence to some good quality product. Wear it for hours without pain. It is light weight and very comfortable. Besides, the blue color on this has made this Limited Edition an envy to those who use the silver, white or black version. With this headphone, you live in your own world with only what you want to hear. Pros: comfortable, painless. It is Bose. Cons: Not at this time. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No As expected! Written By Nice color, New York new york on Monday, November 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality The headset is the same, te case is nice and blue, kinda unique when all other business class seat takers have the silver model. The color concept is cool, but the phone attachment cord is not. It has that cheap plastic feel to it instead of the nice rubber like flexi feel. Improve the remote cord and the volume controller to be a little more bold and you have a winning combo.

Laurel-based real estate developer Konterra Realty is hoping to light the way towards renewable energy by hosting Maryland's first commercial solar microgrid system.
"The Konterra Solar Microgrid is a prime example of Maryland's innovation economy moving forward," said Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley (D), who attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the solar microgrid Tuesday afternoon at Konterra's headquarters in Laurel.
By hosting one of the first commercial solar microgrids in the country, Konterra is helping Maryland lead the way in the emerging renewable energy industry, he said.
"That means more jobs for Maryland fathers and mothers," O'Malley said.
Melissa Gould, director of sustainability initiatives for Konterra, said the grid would allow the building to maintain power even during an outage.
The system's 402 kilowatt canopied solar array is estimated to generate 20 percent of the electricity needed to power Konterra's Laurel headquarters, said Scott Wiater, president of Rockville-based Standard Solar, which developed the microgrid in collaboration with Philadelphia-based Solar Grid Storage, which provided the energy storage system.
Wiater said the microgrid system differs from a solar panel array in that it is capable of storing the electricity produced, which can be used to power Konterra's headquarters in case of a power grid failure.
The microgrid, along with the Konterra building's emergency generator, could power the building indefinitely, depending on conditions, Wiater said.
"A regular solar array shuts down if the grid goes down. For safety reasons, it stops producing any power," Wiater said. "A microgrid, when the grid goes down, continues producing electricity. Instead of going to the grid it goes to storage, and the building can still be powered."
Additionally, two electric vehicle charging stations have been installed, providing electrical charge for vehicles for a small fee and charging stations can be added as demand increases, said Warren Woo, Standard Solar project manager.
The microgrid system cost approximately $2 million, said Konterra CEO Kingdon Gould, III, and was facilitated through a $250,000 "Game Changer" grant from the Maryland Energy Administration.
The Game Changer competitive grant provides funds to early-commercialization stage clean energy projects based in Maryland, according to the state website.
O'Malley said one of his strategic goals is to increase the state's renewable energy portfolio to 20 percent by the year 2022.
"These are the things that actually make the real estate business we're in continually interesting, as we try and upgrade and do things that are a little better for the environment," Kingdon Gould said.
