I own a 280 cu ft oxygen tank and it costs me $35 to have it refilled (actually they swap it out).
Also own a 336 cu ft argon tank and it costs me $40 for a refill/swap.
My set-up is propane so I am not much help with acetylene.
I agree with USMCPOP - buy big tanks.
You can buy small ( 80 cu ft ) oxygen tanks at a local Harbor Freight store but it may be frustrating since you don't get much for your buck. An added worry is the trouble of getting them refilled.Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:

The bigger you can afford, the better. You can look on craigslist for a set. Here in Southern Arizona there is usually a set of tanks with a 140 acetylene and a 200 oxy with a torch and cart for around $400. Keep in mind that what ever size you get acetylene has a draw down rating of 1/7th. So your 10cf acetylene tank could run a cutting tip or a welding tip that is rated for just over 1cfh. That is pretty tiny.
Do a little research on the 1/7th rule and that might help you decide to get bigger tanks.

A tequila Bloody Mary, or Bloody Maria, from Iron Chef Rick Bayless. The recipe is in our Best Bloody Mary Recipes article. Photo courtesy of Frontera Foods.
December 2005
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Cocktails
The Bloody Mary
The History Of One Of The World's Most Popular Cocktails
This is Page 1 of a two-page article. Click on the black link below to visit Page 2.
It seems only right that the Bloody Mary, a cocktail favorite that just happens to be dressed for the season in holiday red with green accessories, should be featured front and center at parties. Not only is she appropriately garbed, her versatility pleases revelers: there are dozens of recipe variations so she never gets dull; and non-drinkers love her too. (The Virgin Mary is so tasty, it's even popular even with those who like the regular drink.) Bloody Mary is low-cal compared to sweet cocktails, the tomato juice has Vitamin C, and the celery stalk has good crunch that may help deflect the desire to grab pretzels and chips. And it has fiber to boot! How many "wins" is that? No wonder Mary is such a popular gal, when so many of her original set have been left in the dust.
The Legend
The way the story is often told, Mary was the brainchild of Fernand "Pete" Petiot, an American bartender working at Harry's New York Bar in Paris during the Roaring 20s. Bartenders regularly mix up all kinds of concoctions to keep their clientele interested: even the ones that enjoy popularity for a while drift into obscurity (whatever happened to the Side Car and the Sloe Gin Fizz?).
So, the story goes, it was pure luck, not strategic planning, when Petiot combined tomato juice and vodka. A colleague named it, and not after the character in the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, "South Pacific." In this version of the tale, the drink preceded the show by some 25 years (it opened on Broadway on April 7, 1949). And the musical and its Tonkinese character, Bloody Mary, emerged from the James Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Tales Of The South Pacific, which was published in 1947.
Nor was the Bloody Mary named after Mary, Queen of Scots, the legend states. According to research by McIlhenny Company, makers of Tabasco brand pepper sauce, an essential Bloody Mary ingredient, Petiot said that "one of the boys suggested we call the drink 'Bloody Mary' because it reminded him of the Bucket of Blood Club in Chicago, and a girl there named Mary."

In 1934 Petiot took a job at the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City (ultimately becoming head barman). It was there in the 1940s that he introduced the Bloody Mary. The hotel tried to change the name to the Red Snapper, but it didn't have the same snap. While they like the name, New Yorkers found the cocktail a bit bland, and encouraged Petiot to add some seasoning. He chose black pepper, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon, and, for patrons who liked it spicy, Tabasco sauce, largely formulating the Bloody Mary we know and love. When the drink became a national sensation in the 1950s, Petiot claimed he had invented it while working at Harry's New York Bar in the 1920s.

At least we can't lose today...
Thursday Night Football sucks. I wish they would move it to friday night instead. How can you continue to ask teams to play on a short week is beyond me.
3 of our last 4 games offense have been offensive.
I drove to Indy game and enjoyed most of it until some of the
home cooking and sloppy play.
Drove 14 hrs from cincy to Tampa. Return in time to see
the game against the Seahawks coming off their bye. Just what
we needed.
Good news with no game, is no ddamage to the heart or hands
Go phins
I hate Monday and Thursday night games -
Hope is not a strategy.
yep. My wife woke up and first thing out of her mouth to me was, " well at least you don't have to watch the dolphins lose today".
sad but true. although I wish i was watching them anyway.
Already I am looking at FA lists and possible draft picks.
Also, I am hoping for one of the insiders to say that Ireland will be canned before January 2nd.
Just win Phin baby!

In Holland any electrical installation you can think of has to be grounded...by law. Insurance companies don't even pay if your house burns down because of an electrical failure if no proper grounding is in place.Earthing has long been required everywhere. However surge protection in the US required earthing that both meets and exceed post 1990 National Electrical code requirements. A date that suggests how many homes still have woefully insufficient earthing.
An example. One FL couple had lightning repeatedly strike an outside bathroom wall. They installed lightning rods. Lightning again struck that bathroom wall. Why? Lightning rods were only earthed in sand with 8 foot (3 meter) ground rods. Bathroom plumbing made a better connection to deeper limestone. Lightning avoided ightning rods to obtain a better connection to earth.
For surge protection, earthing also must be single point (as demonstrated why in a previous post). Ufer grounding or equivalent is routine in FL due to poorer conductive sand and the higher frequency of surges. And then all incoming utilities are earthed short, no sharp bends, etc to that single point earth ground. If the cable enters from the other side, then the house has been setup to have surge damage.
Circuit breakers never stop damage. A circuit breaker's function is to disconnect power after something has failed. Protection of human life from fire created by already existing damage.
Now put numbers to it. A circuit breaker takes tens of milliseconds to respond. A surge is done in microseconds. 300 hundred consecutive surges could exist and the circuit breaker still never trips.
A circuit breaker would stop or block what three miles of sky could not? Of course not. Never happens. That damning fact defines the difference between effective protection (ie a 'whole house' protetor or why nothing inside the church was damaged) verses a protector that magically absorbs surges. The one factor that defines even how good a protector is ŌĆō earth ground. No earth ground means no effective protection. A protector is only as effective as its earth ground.
This is not popular in retail stores where such protectors (and earthing) are not sold.

A friendly resort, Le Corbier gained the 'Familie Plus Montagne' status in 2006, proving that family are warmly welcomed and well catered for. Families can enjoy the heated outdoor pool at the Galaxie Spa wellness centre, enjoy a unique dog sledding experience or visit one of the sledging areas Le Corbier and Saint Jean d'Arves link up to make one local ski area offering 90km of pistes. There are lovely wide runs which are perfect for Beginners who will soon be ready to graduate to the blues higher up, whilst Intermediates can cruise along enjoying fantastic views or venture further afield into the Les Sybelles area where there are 310km of pistes in total. It is easy to travel between the resorts via lifts and pistes, there are connecting pistes to suit almost all abilities. The connecting point to the 6 resorts is Mont Ouillon (2431 m high), the highest European mountain pastures. New ski lifts were created in total respect of the environment, to preserve nature and offer the best ski in breathtaking landscapes.

This is for nautical-specific CAD ware.
There are various tutorials online. There is also a Yahoo Group for users.
A paid version of the program is called Delftship. It is similar in several ways and some of the tutorials for that program can be used for Freeship.
There are a few others. Your best bet is to research the files or post a question on The WoodenBoat Forum: http://forum.woodenboat.com/forum.php

The words "good" cad s/w and "free" usually don't go together in my opinion.
It may do basic things for you but I do a lot of cad drawing and when I started I quickly found out that "basic" was not good enough.
If your doing serious cad work for production purposes (like building boats), I would invest in a quality s/w program for your purposes. I personally feel you will be much more happy in the long run. Not to mention, if your doing this as a business, it is a deduction for you.Lincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tig

Bobcad is not free but the sales folks there will cut individuals an awesome deal as they make most of their money from businesses and schools. I bought the complete package with CAD/CAM, and the ART/ V-Carve package for making rings, belt buckles and other things for $150. That's for the CAD program and everything else needed to run that drawing on my CNC Mill and Lathe. They have free training online and sometimes when they come to town nearby. We use Mastercam where I work and it's pretty complicated and expensive. HeeksCAD is free and is also supported on Linux, MAC and Windows. Do a google search for it. It's easy to find and is "open source".

Great read!
"The more I play, I think the better I'm going to get," the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback said. "It's all timing. When we get it down, this team is going to be like a wild fire." ~ Daunte
It is great to hear from one of our Fins!
I have a few questions for Brett Tessler with regards to Damion. Damion and the team were rumored during the offseason restructuring to have made an agreement that the Dolphins would not sign or draft anyone to compete with Damion McIntosh. They signed Stockar McDougle and drafted Anthony Alabi, but neither compete with Damion.
I want to know if this agreement actually happened, whether or not it is written, and whether or not moving Damion to right tackle where he would compete with free agent acquisition Stockar McDougle would constitute a violation of the agreement.
It would certainly explain why the coaches never moved Damion to right tackle, choosing instead to move Vernon Carey.

The honesty is refreshing Damion. Thank you. Keep your head up and keep trying. We're all here to support our beloved Phins and believe things will get better as the players get more and more acclimated to Coach Saban and what he's trying to do.
These journal entries are great.
This was an awesome article. Some people were talking about how his last article was kinda dry but this one was really an insight. Anyway, just having him writing anything is awesome but this was really sweet to read.
Keep up the good work Damion.

Gourmet Food Processor
"Cooking utensils? These are the Cadillacs." — World Net Daily
Another kitchen classic from the folks at Bromwell. Today's kitchens are filled with tools that speed up the process of food preparation, but don't make the end product any more tasty. If you're a cook that's concerned with quality and enjoys preparing foods without modern technology, you'll love using our traditional hand food processor, or chinois strainer (as it is sometimes called). Packaged as a 3-Piece Set, this is still the most versatile food processor on the market. Our ricer is commonly used for pureeing cooked fruits and vegetables or making juice. The strainer filters skin and seeds, and the simplistic beauty of the design has held up all these years. Your friends and family will enjoy the extra flavor and nutrients of fresh pureed veggies, rather than those from a can or jar.
ANY QUESTIONS?Please email firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to assisting you!
Smashing Facts About Your Gourmet Food Processor:
- A Jacob Bromwell® product is an investment for life. Only Bromwell manufactures these quality food processors! Many other food processors imitate the original Bromwell design. None are made as well, and none have the history to back them up. See how it's made here at our Factory Tour!
- This 3-piece set requires no outlet! 3-piece set includes stainless steel perforated strainer and stand, as well as genuine American hardwood pestle. No outlet required!
- Available in both 'original tin' and 'stainless steel'. As a company that prides itself on the authenticity of its products, this Heritage Collection product is available in 'original tin', which is the same material that our company used nearly two centuries ago.

Rush Beach Soccer Team Announce Sponsorship Deal with Quik Hands
Rush Beach Soccer Team Announce Sponsorship Deal with Quik Hands
The Rush Beach Soccer team is proud to announce that they have secured a sponsorship deal with Quik Hands. Quik Hands will become the teams primary jersey sponsor and their logo will appear on the front of the Rush jersey for their beach team.
Founded by Dieter Thellmann, Quik Hands has created the only weighted goalkeeper glove on the market. The purpose of the gloves is to help increase goalkeepers' reaction time, strength, range of motion, agility and confidence during match play. Currently, Jon Busch of the Chicago Fire wears Quik Hands gloves.
Quik Hands gloves have a weight pouch on the back of each hand, which can hold either a 4 oz. or 5.5 oz. weight packet. The idea is for goalkeepers to train with the weighted gloves during practice and can then remove the weights during match play.
Quik Hands would like to extend a 30% discount off the price of our gloves to any Rush soccer player. Glove styles and sizes can be seen on the Quik Hands website: www.quikhands.com. Please enter the code: RUSH1 to receive your discount when checking out.
You can find the Rush Beach Soccer Team in the Rush Way membership page.

Horan, USA Open U20 World Cup Tuesday
The U20 Women's World Cup begins Tuesday in several Canadian cities and the USA team, led by Colorado Rush and PSG Women's star Lindsey Horan will be one of the favorites to win the competition.
The Americans open the tournament in Edmonton when they take on Germany Tuesday the 5th. August 8th will pit the US vs Brazil and then the final group game will match the US and China PR on August 12th. The opening match with Germany will be a rematch of the 2012 U20 final. The US have won three U20 titles while Germany have captured two.
Horan (front row, right), who was a key member in the USA's qualification for the U20 World Cup two years ago before suffering a knee injury, will be the leader of a strong front line for the Americans. Horan is the teams leading scorer with 21 goals in 22 career caps at the U20 level.
Eight Players to Watch at U20 Women's World Cup
Horan Leads United States into U20 Women World Cup

(>= 50 cleats)
* see individual cleat price to left
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Ineos proposes pay freeze, modified redundancy terms to Grangemouth staff
9:07 AM MDT | October 17, 2013 | Ian Young
Ineos plans to freeze the pay of workers at the company's Grangemouth, UK, refinery and petrochemical complex and modify their redundancy terms, Scottish media reports say. The plans form part of the company's recently announced "survival plan" for the Grangemouth site. Ineos informed Grangemouth staff of the proposals in a presentation today, the reports say. The survival plan also involves construction of a £300-million ($484 million) terminal at Grangemouth to enable imports of competitively priced ethane from the United States, to feed Ineos's...

I'm looking at getting a French rolling pin but I want to make sure that I get a good one. I've seen them made from various woods such as oak, cherry, maple, and bamboo. I'd imagine that a harder less porous wood would work better but I'm not certain what wood would work best. So, what's the best wood for a french rolling pin?

I am not a wood expert, but I have done a fair bit of carpentry as well as cookery. I agree that the key is having nice hard wood with fine grain; you don't want to damage a delicate dough or provide places to stick. Bamboo "wood" is usually a composite material, with the thickness built with layers glued together and then carved/lathed down to shape; so, I imagine it would have little lines that might open over time with use. Oak seems too heavily grained for this application. My french pin is maple. It came from a wood turner who does primarily pens and pencils. He makes pens from a variety of wood but the rolling pins are all maple.

Wednesday's one-two punch of 4.0% second quarter GDP growth, plus the Fed's language that inflation had moved closer to its longer-term target, gave the equity markets a severe case of agita. The S&P 500 Index fell -2.7% for the week, its worst percentage decline in the past two years. We expect the recent surge in volatility to continue near-term as the consensus shifts about how quickly the Fed will raise short-term rates in 2015. The worry, of course, is that the Fed will suddenly wake up and realize it has fallen behind the proverbial eight ball in controlling inflation and be forced to ratchet up short-term rates in a messy rather than predictable fashion.
Everyone seems to agree the Fed will be forced to raise rates at some point during the next two years with inflation nearing the Fed's 2% target. Does it really matter whether these rate increases begin in November 2015 or May 2015? With 209,000 jobs created in July and now six continuous months of 200,000-plus job growth, bond vigilantes have called the Fed's zero-rate monetary policy "inappropriate" at best and "irresponsible" at worst, with the U.S. economy expected to grow by 2.0% to 2.5% this year. Put differently, the vigilantes say an average growing economy deserves an average monetary policy, not the one adopted in 2008 to get the country out of the worst financial crisis since the 1930s.
Our view is that the market isn't worried that short-term rates are headed higher. Instead, we believe the market's concern is that the Fed will be forced to ratchet short-term rates higher—three, four, five times over a short period—to control inflation that may accelerate well beyond the Fed's 2% target as economic growth shifts into high gear.
Like a stock that misses earnings and falls to a new equilibrium that reflects the lower earnings and then moves higher, once the market discounts the change in consensus thinking about Fed policy and accepts that rates will rise earlier rather than later, stocks can take off again as investors get comfortable with 3% long-term GDP growth, 2% inflation, a 1% fed funds rate, and 3% to 4% 10-year Treasury yields.
We continue to believe we are in the fifth or sixth inning of a secular bull market, with a recovery cycle prolonged by the severity of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, the recession, and 55% market correction, combined with Washington's impotency in crafting new fiscal policy to stimulate economic growth through tax incentives rather than government spending.
In our view, valuations remain very attractive relative to both inflation and long-term interest rates. Assuming global GDP growth of 3% in 2015 and beyond with little inflationary pressures, we believe corporate profits can continue to grow by 6% - 8% over the next several years. That is good for stocks, and particularly for growth stocks, which remain depressed with forward P/E multiples at just 1.2x the forward P/Es of value stocks but offer twice the forward revenue growth and 50% more earnings growth.
In sum, for now, too much good news is bad news, but once the markets adjust to the emerging consensus that 1% short-term rates and 3% to 4% long-term rates are indeed just fine, we believe equity markets can move to new highs, supported by 3% long-term GDP growth, low inflation, and M&A and buyback activity that remains highly accretive, given compelling valuations and cheap financing.

Monday to Friday, seventeen-year-old Kendra Sharp starts her day with classes at Mistassiniy School in Wabasca.
When the bell rings at 3:20 p.m., the Grade 12 student is off to her job at Pelican Automotive & Safety Supply Ltd., where she puts in three hours ordering parts, stocking shelves and working the till.
Saturdays are a longer haul, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., but she doesn't mind.
"It's the best job. The people I work with are great, my boss is great, the hours are flexible and the money is good."
Sharp is learning to be a parts technician through the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP), in which high-school students learn trade skills while earning credits.
She found out about RAP a few years back from a Careers: The Next Generation presentation at her school. Hearing she could work on her high-school credits and the first part of the apprenticeship, and be paid, appealed to her.
A friend suggested she pursue the parts technician trades course, even though she knew nothing about auto parts.
"I've learned a lot and I'm still learning," said Sharp, who added there's plenty of variety.
Being the only girl among the dozen or so RAP students was a bit intimidating, but she got over that.
She figures she'll work for another year before returning to school, perhaps in Grande Prairie. Coming from a small northern community, a smaller city will be an easier adjustment than one like Edmonton, she says.
Kyle Young, 18, was thinking of attending university and becoming a teacher. He got on well with his high school teachers and liked helping his classmates with their schoolwork. Instead, he's apprenticing to become a welder.
His switch in career direction came after one of his teachers at Mistassiniy School asked him if he wanted to try a trade. Young took the shop course and liked it, then followed up on the teacher's suggestion to take a trade program and signed up with Careers.
"This is more enjoyable," he said of his apprenticeship. "I like working outside."
Last summer, he was placed with Schroder Oilfield Service. He liked the work atmosphere and found the money quite good, so he is continuing in his first-year apprenticeship. Next year, he'll go to school for two months, possibly at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.
He's staying with the program as "it's pretty much what he wants" in terms of a career.
While it's more physical, Young has grown used to it and finds it mentally stimulating.
He said he would recommend the program to other students as a good way of trying out a possible trades career.

You can almost read the script back to them before they say it. (It's a hackneyed script, after all.) Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich slam President Obama for his weakness on foreign policy. Democrats are, we know, always weenies. Republicans are always tough guys. National security is our issue: GOP, sole proprietor. The lines come naturally: "If we reelect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. If you elect me … Iran will not," Romney declared at one of the early debates. He has called Obama an appeaser who apologizes for America, saying that it's wrong for the president to negotiate with the Taliban in Afghanistan. He denounced Obama's decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq as "a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations." Gingrich, meanwhile, has declared that Obama is "so weak that he makes Jimmy Carter look strong." The former House speaker has castigated the president for postponing military exercises with the Israelis (even though it was the Israelis who asked for the delay). And, deploying his usual apocalyptic rhetoric, he regularly calls Obama "the most dangerous president in our lifetime."
No one expects foreign policy to be a major issue in a campaign that hinges mainly on the fate of America's beleaguered economy (unless something really big, like a war with Iran, happens between now and November). Nonetheless, in an election expected to be very close, the public's perception of who makes a better commander in chief could be the difference. The "3 a.m." test—that emergency phone call—helps voters decide whom they want to depend on in a crisis. (Ironically, it was Hillary Rodham Clinton who raised this question as a criticism of Obama in 2008.) That's especially true considering what Republicans have said they'll do overseas if elected: confront Iran even more aggressively, refuse to leave Afghanistan, return to Iraq. Romney even suggested that the United States should attack Iran to destroy a captured drone; Rick Santorum has called outright for war against that Islamic republic.
Accordingly, the Obama camp spies a big electoral opportunity. With only a middling case that the president's economic record qualifies him for a second term, the White House and Obama's Chicago-based campaign staff are preparing a careful effort to cast him as the most impressive Democratic president on national security in decades, National Journal has learned. They are eager to restore Democrats to a time before the Vietnam War, when Americans viewed the party as relatively strong on foreign policy and national security. And more, harking back to Lyndon Johnson's effective 1964 campaign against Barry Goldwater as a warmonger, they will try to use the extreme GOP rhetoric to remind the electorate of another Republican whom the GOP would prefer to forget: George W. Bush.
The Democrats will argue, in other words, that only Obama can use American power wisely enough to simultaneously keep the country out of another war and restore U.S. stature in the world. "It's a question of what kind of a commander in chief do you want. You have only one chance to get it right," says a Chicago-based Obama campaign official who would discuss strategy only on condition of anonymity. "On issue after issue, Romney has changed his positions. In some cases, he is to the right of the Bush administration."
Despite the GOP candidates' derision, many Republican foreign-policy professionals—some of whom worked for Bush 43—agree that the 44th president has been impressive on these issues overall. They say that he should get credit in areas that go well beyond the takedown of Osama bin Laden (and most of his top lieutenants). They cite Obama's effort to squeeze Iran in the last year. And the way the president has refocused diplomatic and military resources to constrain—but not "contain," which sounds a beat too aggressive—China. And the dexterous way he has used force to fight terrorism. And the way he helped oust Libya's Muammar el-Qaddafi without a single American casualty. (With cover from NATO and the Arab League, it might have been the least costly and most internationally supported policy of regime change in U.S. history.) "I would regard this as the most capable and purposeful Democratic administration in foreign policy since John F. Kennedy's," says Philip Zelikow, a senior counselor to Condoleezza Rice, Bush's secretary of State.
That's a telling comparison. Kennedy looms larger in myth than in actual achievement, but he gets credit for standing down Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis, and he was assassinated before he could make a decision on whether to ramp up in Vietnam. Most important, however, he was the last Democratic president before his party's reputation in foreign policy suffered a long-term blow in Vietnam. That quagmire helped persuade President Johnson not to run for reelection in 1968. President Carter also suffered from a fatal perception of weakness that culminated in the Iran hostage crisis and the disastrous Desert One rescue mission. President Clinton fares better in posterity, and he grew more comfortable with using power toward the end of his second term, especially after his early misfire in Somalia, where 18 Army Rangers were killed in another failed rescue attempt. But Republicans saw Clinton's cautious air attacks on Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein as squeamish and criticized his reluctance to go after bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who achieved success in the early and mid-1970s. Their popular records included Wishbone Ash (1970), Argus (1972), There''s the Rub (1974), and New England (1976). They were one of the first of many bands to come who used twin lead guitars. Wishbone Ash are considered to be one of the major innovators of the harmony twin lead guitar format. Their contributions helped in Powell and Turner being voted "Two Of The Ten Most Important Guitarists In Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989), and part of the "Top 20 Guitarists Of All Time" (Rolling Stone). Melody Maker (1972) described Ted Turner and Andy Powell as "the most interesting two guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds". Formed in Torquay, Devon, in 1969, out of the ashes of trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes, later briefly renamed Tanglewood in 1969), which had been formed by Wishbone Ash''s founding member Martin Turner (bass/vocals) in 1963 and complemented by Steve Upton (drums and percussion) in 1966. The original Wishbone Ash line-up was completed by guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner. In 1974, Ted Turner left the band, and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield. The band continued on with strong critical and commercial success until 1980.

I recently acquired a concert flute and started to play with it, getting used to the embouchure and properly making a sound. I reached a certain stopping point when trying to learn all by myself, though. I can make all the notes from the first octave sound properly, with a couple of tries, except the the ones ranging from D -> C# -> C. I blow the flute but the sound is fickle, and very, very quiet, I can hardly "spot" it over the sound of me blowing across the little flute hole. Am I missing something when related to embouchure? Should it change to properly address the lower notes on the instrument? Maybe I need to direct the flow or the speed of the air differently?

A "real" flute player might have better insights, but you are certainly not alone in having difficulties with the lower notes. A few things to check:

Great looking boot, but the toe buckle went on day 2 after purchasing. Great looking boot, and it seemed that the stiffness is a great advantage, but I blew the toe buckle wires off in the first two days on the hill. Had to improvise with bent lengths of coat hanger. It seems that the buckle is not built for the strain put on the bellow area. The wires off of both feet were sacrifices to Ullr. Full review

Not the binding you want if you are an aggressive telemarker. Was a good binding to learn on, if only because it was hard to ski! This was my first telemark binding, and I used it for about half a season, probably 50 days. It was used at the time I bought it. I was impressed that they held up, given that I had heard a lot of horror stories of these breaking. First off, let's start with the pros: These are super light, super easy to mount and switch out parts as necessary, and they work. The… Full review

Absolute best binding for touring and performance. Easy switching between modes and resistance levels. Sturdy. This is the perfect backcountry binding for the true telemarker. First off, we have to start with the performance. The free release touring mode makes going up a cinch because you have zero resistance on your heel. It's very easy to switch between modes, you just use your pole and the ski can stay on. Once in ski mode, it skis like an aggressive alpine Tele binding. It is not quite as… Full review
Black Diamond Compactor Poles
Love the trekking poles. I use to hike a lot, but with aging my pace has really slowed down. These poles are so much better than using a cane for any walking you do. Because of the perfect balance they create you can move easily wherever you use them. However, I have lost my manual and I need advice about how to put on the powder baskets. Help??? Full review
Armada JJ
Bottom Line: The Armada JJ is a really fun ski. It floats well at 115 underfoot, but with such early taper and rocker it has a really surfy feeling. It really can handle anything you toss at it. I highly recommend this ski to ANYONE who is looking at getting into rocker, who rides powder/crud at least 70% of the time, or who wants a sick backcountry jib ski! Pros: "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." Seriously, they are probably the best 1 ski quiver ski that I have ever handled… Full review
Armada Magic J
This is hands down one of the best big mountain powder slayers on the market. It is extremely versatile given its width, and Armada nailed the flex profile in the 190cm length. For years I was begging Armada to make a super JJ (fatter, longer, stiffer, modified rocker, etc.)...They finally came out with the AK JJ, but it was just longer and only slightly stiffer. I was bummed... until they released the Magic J.... and it was everything I ever wanted and more! I always felt that the regular Armada… Full review

Awesome lightweight, extremely versatile, stiff touring ski that you can use all day inbounds. These are an awesome touring ski for someone that is looking for a ski that can charge inbouds as well as out of bounds. I use this ski about 40% of the time as an inbounds crud crusher, and 60% of the time as a backcountry powder ski. Extremely stable at speed, stomp landings hard and easily, but extremely versatile. I used to spend about 90% of my days on the Armada JJ, which has to be one of the most… Full review

Rossignol SOUL 7
Does nearly everything brilliantly. There was a time when I took three pairs of skis with me to the mountains: piste, powder, and touring skis. Each was ideal for their niches, and I really couldn't imagine a day when one ski could do all three. Although I have tested far from every type of ski, the Soul 7 just nails it for me. A terrific carving ski, even/especially on boilerplate pistes, just a dream in powder, crud, breakable crust, and good for touring. If it fails to fit the 'one size fits… Full review

ls-who? RMFTR!!
2014 ladies lounge entry:ariel meredith
LSU averages 41 points per game against teams not named Alabama.
Alabama averages 39 points per game against teams not named LSU.
This is stellar defense being played, not terrible offense. It's hard to look good on offense when there's nearly 30 NFL prospects, and anywhere from 10-14 that are going in the first 2 rounds of the NFL draft anytime these two defenses are on the field.
Alabama and LSU make a living on making offenses look bad. I guarantee you there's several 'special' offenses around the country that will vouch.
Morons who think OSU vs. either or these teams was a better game. Yea, because watching LSU beat OSU or any of those other **** teams 47-23 wouldve been just great to watch. Get ****ing real. Just because some other team wouldve scored some points dosent make it a better game. Its a ****ing blowout.
And you nailed it. Watching LSU vs. OSU is the same game as LSU vs Oregon or WVU. ****ty teams who score points with gimmick HS offenses on a college level. I personally hate watching that spread offense bull****. The SEC is REAL football. Actual defense is good to watch ya know.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
I think there's a very good reason this "Championship***" thread only has 4 pages, mostly covered by 4 or 5 posters, and the networks are declaring record lows in viewing.
This was NOT a "Championship" game. I don't care how much anybody points to whatever.
And finally, we will get change. The billionaires that are running this dog and pony show lost billions Monday night. That is going to change things.
when talking about how the pats beat the giants in the regular season, the nfl has a playoff system, which is the right system. their will be plenty of times where you can get teams meeting that already played eachother in the regular season, if it happens, it happens. both teams wont just be given the right to replay eachother, both teams had to earn the right to get their by winning 3 playoff games ( 2 for the pats due to the bye).
as far as the bcs, none of these teams have to face another team to get their, they are just voted in. that is ********. people who like to defend the bcs saying it just makes college football so much more important week to week, well their argument is out the window now, because a team like alabama who played by far their biggest game of the season vs lsu and alabama was home for that game, yet they still lost, and even though they lost the biggest game on their home turf, and they didnt even have to play in a conference title game, they still were given a spot to play in the bcs championship game. that my friend is absurd. i don't care if they are the 2nd best team really, they lost at home to lsu who was 1 at the time, they shouldn't be allowed to play in the championship game, especially if the decision is made by a voters committee, so they can choose the teams. if it was a playoff system and thats what happened, no argument here, it would have been what it was.
the one good thing to come out of that game can be that maybe now, we will finally see a playoff of some sort, and eventually a full fledged playoff which it should be.
imagine if in the NFL they just voted the top 2 teams in each year to the superbowl, 1 from each conference without a playoff.
2010- superbowl- packers- steelers- bcs championship game in nfl terms- pats- falcons
2009- a rarity, both 1's made it
2008- superbowl- cards- steelers- bcs championship game in nfl terms- giants-titans
2007- superbowl- pats- giants- bcs championship game in nfl terms- cowboys -pats
u get the point, aside from the 2009 season where the colts and saints both number 1's played in the Superbowl, the other seasons, most 1 seeds didnt make it, and the time they did they didnt win, aka 07 pats.
im sure their were other super bowls that had 2 1's playing, but for the most part, it usually does not end like that due to the playoff system, which is the best system. not this dumb bcs ****. no excitement whatsoever.
Your argument against the BCS is full of holes and contradictions here.
The Packers won the superbowl last year and didn't even win their division. Furthermore, being a conference champion has nothing to do with who the best 2 teams in the country are. The best 2 teams in the country this season both resided inside the same division, in the same conference.... and there's a pretty good case to be made that the 3 best teams in the country were all in the SEC West. Arkansas could still claim they're the 3rd best team in the country. They only lost to #1 and #2.
The point is, only one can be the the SEC West champion. Anybody that watched the first matchup between LSU and Bama knew that Bama was the better team and should've won that game. But they didn't, LSU gets to go play in the SEC title game as a result.
Stanford didn't win their conference. The Big-12 (Oklahoma St.) didn't even play a conference championship game this year because they don't even have enough teams to host one. You have to have 12 teams in order to have a conference championship game. Using your own logic, those two are both eliminated from playing in the national championship game.
That leaves Oregon with 2 losses, Clemson with 4 losses, Wisconsin with 3 losses, and West Virginia with 3 losses as the teams to choose from to play LSU in the national championship since these 4 teams "won their conference".
The Pac-12 champ Oregon doesn't even belong on the same field with LSU, that was proven on the field. The ACC champ Clemson, got beat 34-13 by the 5th best team in the SEC (South Carolina), lost 37-13 to unranked N.C. State, lost 31-17 to Georgia Tech, and gave up more TD's in one night in the Orange Bowl than Alabama has given up all season when they lost 70-33 to West Virginia.
Wisconsin lost 37-31 to Michigan St., lost 33-29 to unranked Ohio St., and lost 45-38 to Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
West Virginia doen't belong on the field with LSU, and that was also proven on the field when LSU beat them 47-21 in Morgantown. They also lost to unranked Syracuse 49-23, and lost to unranked Louisville 38-35.
So which of those 4 "conference champions" deserved to be playing for the national title, and which one wasn't going to be down by double digits to LSU at halftime? None.
The SEC started playing a conference championship game first in 1992. Teams from the Big-10, Pac-10, old Big-East, etc. have all been playing in national championship games without having to play a conference championship game for decades.
All conferences aren't equal, and until all conferences are playing a conference championship game, the argument is completely bogus.
The NFL playoff system is flawed when you can get into the playoffs with a losing record, just because a team won a bad division..... while a team with a 10-6 record from a much tougher division gets left out. Yet nobody complains about it because if the NFL does it.... it must be right.
You're not guaranteed to get the 2 best teams in the superbowl either. The only thing you're guaranteed to get is the two teams who got the hottest in the playoffs.
An 'NFL style' playoff simply isn't practical in college football. Millions of fans would literally have to sell their houses in order to afford being able to follow their team around the country playing in playoff games should they keep advancing. The 4 major bowls have to stay intact no matter what system you use.
Furthermore, the SEC already proposed a +1 playoff system back in '08 to avoid this very scenario where two SEC teams play for the national title... because they knew it was going to happen. None of the other conferences (aside from the ACC) wanted any part of it. Therefore, the complaints fall on deaf ears.

GLOVER–If you are a fan of both North Country and Lake Region baseball, things could not have turned out any better for you than they did on Saturday.
In the 10-U Cal Ripken District Tournament, three teams were vying for two spots at the State Championship to be held in Glover next weekend.
Lake Region, the host team, automatically qualified based on their status as tourney hosts, so it was between North Country and Three Rivers to see who would fill the final slot.
LR and NC squared off in the opening game, a 13-3 four inning win for Lake Region.
The Kingdom Crush soccer club accomplished something this past weekend no team from Lake Region has ever done before.
The Crush won the Essex United Soccer Tournament, the largest tourney of its' kind in the state.
The two day soccer bonanza featured teams from VT, NY, CT and NH. Their performance over the weekend capped off a perfect 13-0 season.
Winning five soccer games in two days, including 3 hours of games on Sunday, required the contribution of every player to overcome the grueling heat and tough competition.
ESSEX–This past weekend it played out like a survivor series. The U-14 Girls Wildcat team outwit, outplayed,and outlasted 11 other teams to become Champions of the 2012 Essex Soccer Tournament hosted by the Essex soccer clubs. Under a cloudless sky, the Island, otherwise known as the Tree Farm, was a swarm of soccer players and their families who came to cheer the girls on to the finish. There were multiple age groups from U-8 to U-17. Derby was well represented sending 16 teams to the tournament.
This weekend the Green Mountain Classic was held at Newport Country Club. This tournament was a 36 hole two-person best ball gross event. On Saturday we had Brian Cook Brew Master of Kingdom Brewing on our tenth tee giving samples of his beer.
The Championship Flight was won by Steve Fisher and Tyler Colter, playing out of Newport CC. They shot 65&70 for a 7 under par 135. Shawn Smith and Dan Griffiths from Newport took second with a 2 under 142.
BARTON–Thursday evening yielded the kind of conditions conducive to playing a little baseball.
Good thing too because it was indeed baseball on the menu as the Barton Dodgers and the Newport Orioles squared off in the Orleans County Cal Ripken Majors' championship game.
It was a close game that had a little bit of the sublime and the surreal.
Both teams fielded a strong combination of quality pitching and timely hitting, but on this day Newport was just a little bit better, defeating their opponents to the south 6-4.
LYNDON–The Lake Region Sun Devils 16-U girls softball team extracted a bit of revenge Friday night, posting a 12-6 victory over the Lyndon Rays.
Earlier in the week these same two clubs locked horns in Orleans, with the Rays coming away with the 11-9 win. But this time around, the Sun Devils rode the pitching of Michelle Thibeault and Hannah Leroux to garner their third victory on the summer season, with Thibeault racking up 8 strikeouts and allowing just 4 hits in five innings of work, before Leroux picked up the save, fanning four batters in two innings of relief.
Orleans-The Lake Region Sun Devils picked up their second victory of the season in girls 16-U Babe Ruth softball action Wednesday night with a 15-0 victory over the Hardwick Wildcats.
Lake Region plated two in the first inning and eight more in the second to jump out to an early insurmountable lead.
Michelle Thibeault smacked a triple for the host Sun Devils, and after an injury reduced Hardwick to two outfielders, Sabrina Roberge took advantage and sent a liner down the left field line that she legged out for a home run.
A group of students recently tested for their Yellow Belts in Tae Kwon Do at Dunlavey's Black Belt Academy in Newport. The students were tested on their verbal knowledge, technical skills, memorized patterns, self defense, sparring and board breaking in front of a panel of Black Belts.

On a beautiful sunshiny baseball Sunday afternoon in Littleton, NH, the Orleans County 12-U Thunder baseball team started their season with a convincing 15-3 victory over the Littleton NH 12-U All-Star team.
There were a lot of stars in this game with Parker Brown, T.J. Santaw, Hunter Marsh, Liam Kennedy and Derrick Breault on the mound.
The quintet gave up a mere 3 runs on 5 hits. There were a lot of great defensive plays in the game along with a lot of offense.
Along with the strong pitching and solid defense, several members of the Thunder had a productive day at the plate.
