I picked up a large all steel welding table that will be my primary shop work surface for stick, HF TIG and MIG. Should I ground the table? Can I leave the ground leads to my welders attached to my work table while using other machines--in particular the HF TIG?

Multiple Gound Leads
Not quite sure of what you are asking?? You kinda have two questions mixed into one.
Are you asking about all the work (ground) clamps remaining attached to the table when using the other machines or are you asking about grounding because of HF interference/transmission??? Or are you asking about both??JIM

I am asking about both. Should the table be grounded (to an earth ground, not a system ground) and can I leave one machine's work cable attached to the table while using another machine on the same table. I don't want to damage the electronics in my mig and inverter tig/stick machines. I have earth grounded my steel shop building skin for HF in prep for a higher output tig.
You can have all the ground leads hooked up to the tableand weld with all the machines without any problem.
Gounding the table to earth will help eliminate HF interference with electrical appliances in the shop and office, If I remember right, Cruizer said something about wraping tyveck around the torch lead, You will need to verify that one however.

What he said. Attached is a picture of my table. I have concurrently grounded the Passport Plus, Plasma Xtreme 375 and Maxstar 150 (not seen) without any problem. Note also that the table is mounted on rubber casters.
By the way, I got the idea for a table made from channel from this site a few years ago. It's a great improvement over a solid plate table because it is not easily affected by warping, and if one piece does warp (as has happened), it's just a matter of replacing that one piece. Also, it allows for clamping anywhere on the table and allows me to cut plate or sheet on the table itself.Welding table 2.jpgWelding table.jpgWelding table 3.jpg
I'll be looking for some channel now. Seems I remember a post about it but had forgot. I like that table.
Sorry for the hijack

Thanks for the input. Mike, that's an interesting setup. Do you use the gas bottles while they are horizontal? I am under the impression they have to be vertical (top side up).

It wasn't tyvek it was zip tying the first 5 or 6 feet of the work leads together off of the machine

Ground it
Interesting to research something. Sometimes you find out that you are wrong. I had thought that it was a good thing that the secondary of the welder was isolated from ground.
However, according to these articles, the worktable should be connected to earth ground. They reference an ANSI standard.
I would note that the Miller article says that cylinders should be upright, not on their side

Phil announces the formation and release of his new blues based music project, DELTA DEEP, coming June 23rd.
Collen recorded the mix of original and hand-picked cover tracks with fellow DELTA DEEP bandmates Debbi Blackwell-Cook (back-up vocalist for such artists as Michael Buble & Luther Vandross), Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots), and drummer Forrest Robinson (drummer for India.Arie, Joe Sample & The Crusaders, TLC).
Their self-titled debut album features special guest appearances by Def Leppard vocalists Joe Elliott, Whitesnake's David Coverdale, Sex Pistols/MANRAZE drummer Paul Cook, and GIRL/MANRAZE bassist, Simon Laffy.
Listen to a sample of their first single "Bang the Lid" HERE
Collen initially started DELTA DEEP in 2012 after jamming at home over the course of a year with friend and relative, Debbi Blackwell-Cook (Blackwell-Cook is the Godmother of Collen's wife, Helen). What started as a casual pairing singing Motown and classic blues staples while Debbi frequently visited Collen's home quickly turned into much more. Collen, Helen, and Debbi began writing original music which Collen and Debbi recorded in Collen's home studio. Later that year, a chance meeting re-acquainted Collen with Memphis native and enigmatic heavy metal, jazz, & r-n-b drummer Forrest Robinson. A friend suggested giving STP bassist Robert DeLeo a call. Sharing a...

Today, Def Leppard are proud to announce the release of their latest contribution to the music industry, the first ever steam powered amplifier, "The Boiler".
Sitting proudly atop a 4x12 speaker tank, The Boiler pumps out 104 degrees of sound guaranteed to give you that unique Aquasonic™ sound! Developed over the last five years in partnership with sound expert Professor Ron N, McKew, The Boiler is made out of 100% pure organic material and will run for up to 3 hours on one tank of purified water. Expected to go into production early 2016, The Boiler will retail at just £299 and will be available in a variety of colours. Asked to comment of this extraordinary piece of equipment Joe Elliott said "At first, the rest of the band were quite skeptical about the possibility of harnessing the power of water & turning it into sound, but once they heard the prototype in action, they were all very excited about its potential." The Boiler will be manufactured in a specially built earth friendly complex on the banks of the Derwent Dam on the outskirts of Sheffield, England, a place close to Joe Elliott's heart. "When I was a little boy, my parents & I would sometimes take a drive out to the Derwent Dam & we'd marvel at the beauty of the area. Knowing also how it was used to practice the delivery if the bouncing bomb in WW2, I saw an opportunity to change the dynamic and the history of the dam from something remembered for its contribution to something destructive, into something more creative and positive"
The Boiler will be available in all good music shops in 2016. More info coming soon!

If you feel guilty the next time you pick up the phone to take a sick day, you may be slightly comforted to know that your job might have been the source of your illness.
Whether you work in an office or in a setting where the unclean things around you are more visible, you're likely to encounter plenty of microbes in your workplace.
"One of the reasons things get so dirty and germy is that hygiene hasn't really developed this century for workers," said Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, whose work on microbes has earned him the nickname "Dr. Germ."
But while Gerba and other researchers have studied surfaces, it seems no one has ever looked at germs across all occupations.
However, he said, the move from outdoor work to offices in the 20th century not only brought us closer together, it has allowed us to share our germs even more.
"I just think that we need to develop some kind of hygiene strategy for offices," said Gerba. "The more space we share, the more germs we share in offices.
"The office environment has created a mechanism for moving germs around," he added. "You want to make sure your immune system's getting good exercise, people always say, to go work."
But avoiding the office altogether isn't going to be an improvement. Gerba has found in his studies that home offices are even germier than ones at work.
"If you don't want to be exposed to germs, don't work at home," he said.
But exposure to all of those germs may not be a bad thing.
"If you're in a totally sterile environment, your immune system doesn't get primed for where you really need it to," said Dr. Ted Palen, an internist at the University of Colorado and a researcher in the informatics department of the Colorado Permanente Medical Group.
So, being around those germs can help protect you. And while it may also be difficult to find the least germy job, Gerba has one suggestion for those who really want to escape the microbes.
"If you want to stay healthy, become the weather center guy on the North Pole," he said.
Visit the OnCall+ Cold & Flu Center
10 Germy Surfaces
Cold and Flu Myths
Best Ways to Avoid the Flu
With that in mind, we give you 10 jobs where germs can be a daily concern.
When Gerba and other University of Arizona researchers studied the desks, computers and phones from various professions, teachers wrecked the curve.
Teachers had six times more germs in their workspace than accountants, the second-place finisher, with slightly cleaner desks but five-and-a-half times more germs on their phones, nearly twice as many germs on their computer mice and nearly 27 times more germs on their computer keyboards than the other professions studied.
The reason for all the germs is, of course, the reason why the teachers are there in the first place.
"Kids' desktops are really bad, too," Gerba said. "Probably the dirtiest object in a classroom is a kid's desktop."
Children hand in tests and homework papers to their teachers, and during flu season, they often hand in cold and flu germs, as well.
Of course, the germ risk teachers face may be greater because they don't walk into their classrooms wearing hazard suits.

WATCH: Morgan Page Uses Michael Jackson's "This Is It" 3D Technology On Tour
For his latest national tour, Morgan Page enlisted the technology from Michael Jackson's "This Is It" Tour to create the first-of-its-kind live 3D immersive experience. Complete with lazers shooting out into the crowd, and morphing shapes made of colored light floating above the audience, it takes the concept of 3D movies and applies them to a musical performance. Naturally, we were dying to see what the MPP3D live US Tour was all about, so we strapped some 3D glasses to our camera and headed to Times Square to check it out firsthand.
Morgan explains the thought, inspiration, and work behind the massive tour, including the team of 30 programmers who helped make it happen, and how it's changed the way he composes music. Watch the video above, exclusively on Pepsi Pulse.

A T-38 Talon bridged five decades and generations of technological development to merge at 400 knots with the F-22 Raptor near Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., recently.
"MOJO 1 is engaged, Bullseye 323/24," said Lt. Col. Christopher 'Moto' Davis, 325th Training Support Squadron Adversary Air Operations officer.
The Raptor and trainer jet were beak to beak, forcing the pursuing trainer to make a quick decision.
"MOJO 1, PRESS!" his wingman said over the fight frequency.
Davis puts his 1960's T-38 Talon in a full afterburner, maximum G-defensive turn to try to survive mere seconds more against the world's most advanced fighter jet.
The fight is over as suddenly as it started at the hands of two simulated heat-seeking missiles, AA-10D's known as "ducks," capable of being employed even by early generation MiGs. This is not the typical end to an F-22/T-38 sortie, but one that will yield many valuable lessons for the basic course, or B-course, student flying the F-22.
When new F-22 pilots arrive at Tyndall to learn air-to-air combat techniques during their B-course training, they often find themselves facing much more experienced pilots executing the Adversary Air mission in the T-38.
The T-38 is a supersonic jet trainer flown by the fighter pilots of the 325th TRSS. The squadron's motto is, "Air dominance begins here. Own the sky!" The goal is not to defeat F-22's, but provide a world-class training platform and threat replication for F-22 pilots.
On the rare occasion a Raptor student makes a mistake in the air, it's the adversary pilot's job to punish those mistakes in order to highlight the learning points.
Adversary pilots come from various backgrounds, including the F-16 Viper, F-15 Eagle, F-15E Strike Eagle and F-22. Experience levels range from captains with hundreds of flying hours to colonels with more than 3,000. The TRSS provides a disciplined and professional adversary air, or "red air" as it's commonly known to fighter pilots, as part of the 325th Fighter Wing's F-22 training mission.
"The more we are able to capitalize on their mistakes in training, the less likely [the pilots] are to make that mistake in actual combat," said Capt. John 'Shack' Newman, 325th TRSS pilot.
Most would argue that the T-38 is no match for the F-22, and they're right, but at the same time, several advantages exist.
"There are many benefits to using the T-38s," said Lt. Col. Jason 'Bondo' Costello, 325th TRSS commander and F-22 instructor/T-38 adversary air pilot. "It's a very economical alternative to using a Raptor, and the effective and efficient use of the F-22s is critical to the Unites States' national security interests."
Cost savings alone are substantial. The price of flying a T-38 is approximately $3,300 per flying hour, as opposed to the F-22 at approximately $22,000 per hour. Additionally, the F-22, like any other frontline fighter aircraft, has a limited lifecycle of flying hours and sorties. Using T-38s to fly adversary air missions saves the F-22 hours for pilot training and combat sorties, thereby increasing the lifespan of the fleet.
The program started at Tyndall in the summer of 2012 with five initial T-38 cadre. Now it has 27 pilots, all of whom are very experienced fighter pilots, and 10 aircraft. An additional 10 T-38s are due to arrive this fall. With the arrival of additional F-22s from Holloman AFB, New Mexico, the T-38's and the 325th TRSS increased support becomes more vital.
Due to the number of available T-38s, the 325th TRSS was able to orchestrate multiple training scenarios for multiple aircrafts, which is just one of the benefits of flying against the more cost efficient jets, said 1st Lt. Austin 'Fisheye' Mcintosh from Santa Barbara, Calif.
"It was great to have the opportunity to fly against multiple adversaries," he said. "It's virtually impossible to see a black painted T-38 visually, as they're much smaller than an F-22 or F-15, especially against a dark background such as the ocean. It was an invaluable experience to have their support as adversaries."
"It's important to train future F-22 pilots against a professional adversary force in preparation for their transition to the combat air force in their next assignment," said Lt. Col. Pete 'HOSS' Harris, 325th TRSS Air Adversary pilot. "It's really rewarding seeing F-22 B-course students' progress from their first sortie learning to fly the jet to becoming highly competent F-22 wingmen in the world's most advanced fighter aircraft."
In training, everyone goes home. Tyndall's Adversary Air pilots say they go home knowing they played their part in training the future generation of air superiority fighter pilots.

In the beauty department, there's perhaps no more agonizing moment of "grass is always greener" than the one that involves a gal's tresses. If your hair is stick straight, you pray for ringlets; if you've got a massively thick mop, you'd kill for a thinner coiff. And the list goes on. And on. And on.
Well, whether you're rocking a Carey Mulligan pixie or a Brigitte Bardot bouffant, we firmly believe that you should flaunt what you've got. That's exactly why we went out on a mission to find versatile strands from across the Southland in a true celebration of tendrils. Click through to see your beautiful L.A. brethren's braids, mohawks, and dreads. Plus, if you feel any hair envy creeping up, don't worry; all of these real-life beauties gave us tips, too. The most important lesson, of course: Even if you're far from Pantene-commercial status, let your hair down and shake what your mama gave ya!

Celebrate Lance's first miraculous Tour de France victory! Making a comeback from an ordeal with cancer that took him to the brink of death, few took seriously the Texan's chances of even completing a fraction of the three-week endurance test. Yet, by the Stage 19 time trial, it was apparent that not only would he finish the race, he would finish at the top of the podium! While the inspiring story has continued on with four more Tour championships, nothing is sweeter that first year, when he turned the world on its ear and gave further hope to cancer patients around the world.
From the incredible Graham Watson collection, this poster perfectly captures the excitement of Lance's victory in the 1999 Tour de France. With the muscles in his reconstructed body contracting at once, this poster shows the powerful Armstrong giving everything he had as he raced against the clock on that hot, fateful afternoon. A spectacular addition to the wall of any fan, worthy of a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of home or office!

University of Florida junior linebacker Jelani Jenkins, a former standout at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, announced on Monday that he has decided to forego his final year of eligibility with the Gators and declare for the 2013 NFL Draft.
Jenkins played in 36 games at UF, including 31 starts, and totaled 182 tackles, 16.5 tackles-for-loss, 6.0 sacks and three interceptions.
"Jelani informed me that he wishes to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL," said Florida coach Will Muschamp in an article on the school's website. "We wish him the best of luck and encourage him to return to Florida and complete his degree."
Hampered by injuries this season, Jenkins played in nine games and made eight starts. He had 29 tackles with 5 tackles for a loss of 25 yards. He had a pair of sacks for 19 yards, two quarterback hurries and came through with a key interception in the second quarter during the 37-26 victory at No. 10 Florida State. Jenkins also returned a blocked punt 36 yards for a touchdown with 2 seconds remaining to defeat Louisiana-Lafayette.

The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.

I personally think its a great theme, although it I think its starting to wear a little thin.
Anyway, anglers tend to catch hammer heads when fishing on the shore in that area. Little ones- 15 or so inches.

Sharks are cool, as long as they are in an aquarium, or they're in open water where I'm not...
I've gone to Myrtle Beach every year since i've been born (1990) and it's the second shark we've seen in our swimming area. I blame Shark Week.
Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
My view on sharks is they're welcome to do their thing in international waters, but when they swim up the coastal areas where we humans like to swim, then it should be open season on them.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Wanted to see what you all think on this. But, with Innova coming out with the Champion Blizzard plastic and Vibram committing to bringing out all of their discs in 150 class...and, I will assume for the point of this thread that other companies are doing the same...why the trend to the lighter discs?
Views: 804
Throw it like you would a fairway driver you will see an improvement in them. I throw the 136g destroyer nice and smooth maybe 75% power and it sails past my heavy weights that im crushing.
I have always been a fan of Destroyers in the 165g area, but have to admit that I have a few down even as low as 150g now. They are so easy on the arm that I'm feeling like I could play forever. I also have some light weight 161g Westside Swords, man do they bomb. They are more stable than any of the Blizzards.
I have to echo this advice. I played today and dialed back my arm speed and my Blizzards responded! Much more distance! Got to love em!
I have a Tee Devil and it is a bit overstable and a Katana that I have to release with a lot of hyzer or else it turns over into the ground. Both are 134g.
Could just be marketing to make more money and expand their customer base. It is nice to have a 150 bag though, especially for those going to the Japan Open.
I think there must be a lot of variability from disc to disc. My Wraith and TeeDevil were both understable. Katana was longest and a good stability for no headwind to tailwind conditions. Boss was overstable and Destroyer was overstable into a headwind.
Point of caution when going too light weight where distance is the objective. A good analogy is throwing a wiffle ball versus a baseball. You need to find the perfect weight that can be thrown at maximum velocity, this will vary with the individuals arm strength.
YEAH I GET MORE OUT THE light ones if i snap em rather than following through
Lighter discs are easier to throw but are not very consistant. Practice will solve all of this.
Well innova has on their page that David Wiggins Jr just threw a 134g blizzard boss 836 feet breaking the distance record by 16 ft.....

How do scholarships impact other financial aid awards?
While scholarships are based on merit and academic achievement, they are still considered part of your financial aid package. They are counted towards your overall package along with grants, work-study, and loans. Federal and state financial aid programs require that students not receive financial aid in excess of one's cost of attendance. Need based aid, (such as grants and subsidized loans) also must remain within a student's financial need as determined by their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
If you are awarded a scholarship, waiver, and/or tuition exemption and you are or will be receiving financial aid through Sam Houston State University, you must notify your financial aid counselor (either by e-mail, phone, or in person at our office) of your award. Your counselor will help determine if the award necessitates a revision of your financial aid package.
Requirements for scholarship renewal
Once awarded a scholarship, please read the terms and conditions in your Self-Service Banner for continued eligibility requirements, if any. If the scholarship is renewable, it may require you to submit a new application each year. You may need to maintain a minimum GPA (sometimes less than the GPA that won you the scholarship). You may be required to complete a certain number of credits or specific courses. Scholarships frequently require a minimum level of enrollment. If you fall below the minimum or fail to enroll a semester, you may lose the scholarship. If you struggle with a course and consider dropping, please do not do so until you have talked to your adviser and a scholarship representative from the Financial Aid Office. Dropping one or more courses below full time may impact your scholarship.

"Congratulations" in order for MGMT (Updated 12/20/13)
Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden helped to create one of the most talked about bands in the world – a group whose blend of electroic rock and psychedelic pop captured the imagination of a global fan base and even one Sir Paul McCartney, who picked MGMT to open for him in 2009.
Initially called "The Management," the group who came to be known as MGMT was powered by their 2005 EP "Time to Pretend," and signed by Columbia Records prior to the release of their debut album "Oracular Spectacular" in 2007. That disc immediately helped the band draw comparisons to the Flaming Lips and Muse, and the first track, "Time to Pretend," was later named by Rolling Stone as the third best song of 2008.
As far as MGMT was concerned, "Oracular" really was no time to pretend. The group was on the verge of a breakout, thanks to other major singles like "Electric Feel" and "Kids," the New Order-inspired track that helped push the band into the mainstream. They became so big so fast they eventually got tangled up in a lawsuit against the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, who used the song "Kids" in campaign videos and conferences without permission. The case was settled when Sarkozy's party agreed to donate money to various musicians' charities.
MGMT took home two awards at the 52nd Annual Grammys in 2010 for Best New Artist and Best Pop Performance by a Duo (for "Kids"). Their second album, "Congratulations," rolled out in 2010, and was followed in 2013 by the eponymous album "MGMT."

St. Mary's Ryken High School students have ditched their textbooks in exchange for iPads, lightening their backpacks considerably and transforming time in the classroom.
"You really don't unlock the potential of an iPad in the classroom unless everyone has one," Jason DeLucco, assistant principal for academic technology, said.
English teacher Misty Frantz said she quickly embraced the technology, as did the students in her classes. "It's a constant virtual world," she said. "You can see it in motion."
During a lesson on "synthesizing sources," students typed or scribbled using a stylus answers to a question from the teacher on their tablets.
From the back of the classroom, one student called out to nobody in particular, "How come my iPad isn't working?" Another student eventually reached over to help get the device (and that student) back on track.
"OK, Ryan, go ahead and blip up on the Apple TV," Frantz said.
Ryan Bowles, 15, checked off a box from a pull-down menu on his iPad and his response, via a digital projector mounted on the ceiling, popped up on a whiteboard at the front of the classroom.
"It's convenient," Bowles said, "but it also has its problems." At first students were having technical glitches, either with connectivity through the school's servers or issues with their tablets.
DeLucco said that even though the school was able to get 100 gigabytes of broadband connection to the school, there were areas within classrooms that needed better Wi-Fi access. Those problems have been remedied, he said.
Bowles also said it is sometimes difficult to draw a graph or other answers with the stylus. Some of that may become easier as students get used to the new devices, instructors said.
Technology often comes with its own set of problems, but so far issues have been fixable, DeLucco said.
"I really think we're better off then where we expected to be a month in" to the new initiative, he said.
Frantz said that sometimes the students do play games on the devices, but it becomes obvious to teachers as they continually swipe or tap the screen or "steer" the tablet. "I think what it has done is created a lot more learning opportunities," Frantz said.
Having the iPad constantly at the students' fingertips helps with research, whether it is simply looking up a quick fact or delving deeper into a topic.
Lighter loads, more information
"I think this is where the 21st-century learner is," Mary Joy Hurlburt, president of the school, said.
The school modeled its program on other Xaverian schools in the country that switched to a universal iPad program of study.
Unlike those in public school, students at St. Mary's Ryken already had to buy its own textbooks, with bills that ranged anywhere from about $400 to $750 a year, DeLucco said.
Now, students must make the one-time purchase of an iPad, which can range from about $300 to more than $500 (the smaller iPad-mini is also acceptable). And they must buy the electronic books to install on the tablets. The electronic version of a textbook can be as low as $15, although some still top $100. Savings for families can be realized by the second year, DeLucco said, or even in the first year.
The school is using iPads it had already purchased for student use along with some donations to help students who might have a hard time affording a tablet.
This year's seniors were exempt from the all-iPad requirement.
DeLucco said he has had virtually no problem finding quality electronic books for classes as that market continues to grow.
Megan Morgan, 15, said she had owned an iPad before this school year, but that she only used it recreationally.
She said she is impressed with how the devices are being used for school work. She was able to purchase three of the four electronic books she needed for $15 apiece, and the fourth book, for an Advanced Placement class, cost $60.
"It's a lot nicer not to have to carry so many notebooks" and textbooks, Morgan said. She said now that she is used to using the device for school, she feels more organized.
Each student had to register his or her iPad with the school at the beginning of the year. School staff downloaded certain applications onto the tablets and enabled the Wi-Fi connection to the school.
The school's Internet connection block sites with inappropriate content, as well as social media sites, including Facebook. The video website YouTube is also blocked, for now, to the dismay of some students.
DeLucco said he is working to install allow a special version of YouTube that would give teachers the ability to make specific videos that tie into lessons available to students on the St. Mary's Ryken network.
Teachers can add a date and time for when homework assignments must be turned in.
Some use midnight as the cutoff, leaving some students to scramble to get work done and taking away the breakfast table work some students are used to.
Teacher John Pennisi said he is being flexible this year with the homework deadlines, and sometimes allows for late submissions. But, he said, as the students get into new habits of working with and on the tablets, he will expect assignments to be done when he says they are due.
He said using the devices had dramatically cut down on the paper copies he used to make to give out in class, and cuts down on time grading quizzes and other assignments.
"They always have all of their books with them," so no one forgets a textbook any more, Pennisi said. He had only heard of one or two occasions when a student forget to bring their tablet to school.
Another teacher at the school is instructing a "flipped classroom," where she records new lessons for students to watch at home and then allows students to do what would have been homework during class time, when she is immediately available to help.
The school is also teaching students "digital citizenship," which is essentially explaining how to use technology appropriately and the potential pitfalls.
For instance, he said, students need to understand that once something is posted on a site, it is likely essentially there forever, and could potentially be seen by anyone, DeLucco said.
The idea is for students to learn how to create a positive digital footprint, Wood said.
Principal Rick Wood said the school has been moving toward the initiative for a few years, first making sure the infrastructure, including servers and large available connections to the Internet, were in place, and then providing training for teachers. "I really see it transforming the whole teaching and learning experience," he said. If students are using technology like this at home, Wood said, it makes sense to use it at school as well.

Scottsdale's Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
No matter where you live in Scottsdale, every neighborhood has concerns about traffic. It's not only a safety issue, but a quality of life issue too.
The NTMP is separated into a two-step process -- a speed awareness phase and a traffic calming phase. In order for a neighborhood to be considered for the traffic calming phase, residents must first complete the Speed Awareness Program.
The Speed Awareness phase of NTMP is implemented by the city's Citizen and Neighborhood Resource Department, which works closely with the Police and Transportation departments.
Sometimes, this type of heightened awareness is all it takes for most Scottsdale neighborhoods, but some areas may need the help of the Police Department to monitor and issue citations.
Once the form is completed and approved, the request is placed on a list for traffic evaluation. Speed and volume data is collected by the Transportation Department and compared to the city's approved criteria for traffic calming, provided there is support in the neighborhood.
If the data collected meets the city's criteria and the street qualifies for possible installation of traffic calming devices, neighborhood support for the project must be established. In most cases, the city pays for the devices.
There are two options to determine if your neighbors support the installation of traffic calming devices:
NTMP projects are heard by Scottsdale's Transportation Commission twice each year.
Read or download the NTMP policy.
For general questions about the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, contact Traffic Engineer John Bartlett at 480-312-7613.

Composition and Construction
Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
Heavy gauge coil spring unit coils are linked together and attached to a heavy gauge border wire for consistency and longevity. Individualized coil seating units function independently of the other providing individual seating comfort for even support and weight distribution. Each spring is oven tempered to provide greater strength and durability.
The comfort soft seat cushion is designed and constructed to achieve a softer and supportive feel. A dense polyurethane foam core is laminated to both the top and the bottom of the core with an added foam crown patch in the center of the cushion. The foam core is wrapped with polyester fiber to provide a comfortable seat and is encased in a non-woven ticking.
Tight Backs have sinuous springs that support back cushioning and minimize body impressions.

Ana scored a satisfying 7-6(9), 6-1 victory over Flavia Pennetta in the first round of the China Open in Beijing. Ana recovered from a 5-1 deficit in the opening set as she won 12 of the last 14 games.
Though ranked 29th, Pennetta came into the match off the back of a run to the US Open semi-finals, during which time she beat four seeded players back-to-back. The Italian once enjoyed a ranking of 10th and she demonstrated her class by surging into a 5-1 lead, with two breaks of serve.
It was now that Ana found her form. She secured two breaks of her own and forced a tiebreak, which she won 11-9. It was the joint-third longest tiebreak of her career.
The 25-year-old carried that momentum into the second set as she dominated the Italian. Ana completed victory in an hour and 31 minutes.
"I didn't think so much about the score," said Ana. "I really struggled to find my rhythm in the beginning. I felt the ball was flying.
"And then I sort of just tried to think of getting back into the match. I thought the first set was already gone, but then I started to play better and started to be aggressive, and then I just basically played point by point.
"I didn't really think I could come back in the first set, but I really played well and stepped up when it was very tight. So that gave me confidence.
"I could see her body language change in the second set, and I started to play a lot better then."
The 14th seed will take on either Monica Puig of Puerto Rico or Slovenia's Paula Hercog in round two on Wednesday.
