I am always amazed at how fast we fill up the trash can on Christmas morning. From wrapping paper to toy packaging--it all makes it into the trash. Well last year, I decided to try something new: make reusable gift tags and use fabric for wrapping presents. It definitely alleviated the trash pile up! Each child has the first letter of their name stamped onto the tag so they know whose present it is. Bonus: The tags look really cute on fabric-wrapped presents under the tree!
With our hands, we made a ball of dough and kneaded it until it was smooth and firm. It took us five minutes of tag-teaming it to get it smooth.
We rolled the ball out with a rolling pin until the dough was about 1/4" thick. My daughter thought this part was fun because it was just like making sugar cookies.
Then we used cookie cutters to make shapes in the dough. We used various shapes to help fill in the empty space so we could get the most out of the dough.
...we stamped the dough lightly with a rubber stamp so that the letter imprinted into the dough. A few times, we stamped hard enough that the edge of the stamp also left an imprint--but there's beauty in imperfection!
If you'd like, you can also use a stamp pad (ink) to add color to the gift tags.
well caleigh if you need to ask those questions you must need an adult to help you ....I would like to add ....Color the dough and make Christmas ornaments!!.....Also fun little decorations for easter ...the bigger your imagination the more things you can do !! Theres no limit!!

it was good but what do you put it on to go in the oven and do you just poor all the ingredients on the plastic bord
posted by: Caleigh on 6.22.2016comment on this
What's the point of putting the letter on the ornaments? Is it your last name initial? Also, how do you make this a gift tag? Can it be written on?

I love this project (we did it last year and now I'm printing out the instructions to make them again this year). I'm just commenting to make a request: please fix the "print instructions" link. I've now just wasting 6 extra pieces of paper because even the comments and links at the end printed.

My child and I completed Salt Dough Gift Tags. We added food coloring and Young Living essential oils after baking/cooling. Frogs, stars, trees, and angels! Very cute!

I am going to do this for Valentine's day and use a Heart shape cookie cutter. Could be a tag for a gift or we may use it to make a necklace for his teacher using a few different size shapes with glitter :) Thanks for the instructions!!

I was thinking that if you added some cinnamon, or cloves, or nutmeg, or some other nicely scented spice (or dried lavender if you have any) that these tags/ornaments would smell lovely too. It would change the final look though, more speckledy probably...
posted by: Erin on 11.29.2012comment on this
Yummy! I love this idea! You could even add a few drops of evergreen or cedar essential oil too so that it makes the tree smell stronger.
posted by: Jen on 12.23.2012comment on this
That's a great idea! I will try them that way.

Acrylic paint w/ sealer

Do you paint them before or after you cook them.
posted by: Heather on 12.2.2012comment on this
I would paint them after baking them— The color will be more intense that way.
posted by: Jen on 12.23.2012comment on this
how heavy are they can they be used to hang on the tree?
posted by: Francesca on 12.5.2012comment on this
They can definitely hang on the tree— when I was little that's what we did with them. The thicker they are, the heavier they will be— just keep that in mind when rolling out the dough.
posted by: Jen on 12.23.2012comment on this
Can you add food coloring or decorate these in other ways to make them into ornaments?
posted by: Julie on 12.20.2012comment on this
Hi Julie. You could definitely add food coloring to the dough while making it— or even beet juice/ berry juice and it turns out beautifully.

I think in general one of the problems with sites like The Good Ride is their lack of detail and transparency of the review process. They don't disclose who specifically reviewed what, what the conditions were, or the preferred riding style and experience level of the reviewer. As others have pointed out, snowboarding preferences are highly subjective, and without this information I think the reviews become almost meaningless. With Angry, Agnarchy, and even most of the individual reviews on this site, you get this information. Of course, demoing stuff yourself is undoubtedly a more reliable way evaluate something, but for those of us who don't have easy access to much gear, quality reviews can provide valuable insight.
Related to this, I find general user reviews from retail websites and the like are also nearly worthless for anything more than vague indications of the likelihood of defects and failures (assuming there are enough reviews), or perhaps indications of the retailer's customer service.
Originally Posted by Nivek View Post

Almost every snowboard review I've seen is pure crap and almost 100% subjective.
The only time I care about reviews is when people who actually bought the gear complaining about something breaking and have pictures to show what.
That being said. I've been riding for a long time and I already know exactly what I'm looking for in a board.
My largest debate comes from brand decisions when I can't ride the boards myself.
Which is why I buy almost everything from Backcountry.com or REI since both places will take things back even after I've ridden them a couple days.
I don't abuse that privilege because I really enjoy being able to take a chance and not follow the herd.
Reviews as a whole fucking suck and in all honesty I hate doing them with every fiber of my being. But they also need to exist because the big three (Transworld, Snowboarder, and Snowboard Mag) are failing you the consumer as a whole on giving you educated advice on gear. Paid advertorials do nothing to help anyone. But that's another topic for another discussion.
I also feel companies seem to fail on the whole getting demos in the hands of the actual people that support snowboarding. There need to be more weekend demo's at more major resorts vs these mom and pop ski hills, nothing wrong with the ski hill resort choices, but go to the major demographics. Also shops drop the ball on the getting demo's in the hands of people. If more shops did what my old shop used to do where for 25 to 50 dollars a day that if you decided to buy the board from us we would put up to 2 days worth of fees towards the purchase of that deck, we would also swap out mid day if you didn't like the board no additional charge.
As for sites that do reviews. They fill a void but who do you or don't you trust that's the big question? I have always said and stand by this that you should try and find three sites you trust that all have reviewed the same gear and look for the similarities. If all three seem to agree on something then I would say that's pretty accurate, now if one is off on something, see if it makes actual sense. With myself I try to give you the most concise and straight to the point no bullshit reasoning why something felt, did, acted, touched me where it shouldn't have so that you don't have to read a 20 paragraph dissertation about ZJ's and what not. I also encourage thought out questions not "you're wrong I dun bought dis and it's da bestest you fag" comments. Discussion is good!
Getting all the facts you can about conditions, terrain, binding angles, rider weight, stance width, etc. etc. etc. are key. I at 175lbs with a 22.5 inch stance and 18 negative 15 degree angles will flex a 154cm board a lot different than someone at 220lbs with a 21 inch stance and 12 negative 12 angles. Stance width and weight play such a huge role in how a board flexes. Then add in the conditions and terrain plus rider style/preference. Finally time on a board also has a huge effect on the review. I try to give a deck 4 hours as that's the length of a typical day for me and if I'm not sure of it I'll take it out for a second day just to give it another shot. These people that go to demos usually spend maybe 3 laps on a deck, I did this method when I started the site it's quick and efficient for giving the site content, but in the end doesn't help the company or the consumer with feedback. It's more of an ego stroker to the reviewer to claim I rode x number of boards/bindings and have these reviews on my site before anyone else.
Now I have some serious thoughts on the sites doing reviews:
Agnarchy: I talk with Dave pretty much daily and I've seen his growth with his site and the direction it's going. I back it and I see the improvements he's made going forward. It might not update as frequent as others but it's good for a guy with a wife, kid, day job, and living in the midwest. Adding the Asian contingent of Leo has been hilarious only because he's so stereotypical Asian in his thought process on things it's somewhat comical with how they do their dual reviews. It's a great compare and contrast situation. I actually suggest people check them out more, might light a fire under their asses to do more content!
Geeks of Shred: Rarely do I check out this site. It's like that thing that if it pops up in a social media feed with a review from a brand I work with I'll check it out to see what they say. But I think they spend more time on their graphics than they do on getting people the information they need. I'm not for them or against them I just view them as there and it might help people.
Board Insiders: They have a GREAT concept but unfortunately poor implementation. Fuck these guys in the ass with their camera. Rarely do they ever get the terminology of the tech they're reviewing right. I didn't know that Never Summer had Banana C2 with Magnetraction or whatever it was that they messed up. If you're going to be a supposed "authority" on products you should know what the fuck you're talking about. Carpet flex reviews? Watch a video and you can see what I mean. Plus they're always late on getting things out. What good is a review of a deck after Black Friday or the X Mas rush? Also from seeing these guys at industry events it looks like they're always begging for hand outs. Also what's up with the unquantifiable numbers they give? Shred Cred? Seriously do you see any under a 90 on there it's like everything they ride is the best.
Snowboard-Reviews: I've had a few run ins with these guys. I love their concept of video reviews and think they actually do a far better job than Board Insiders, mainly because they get their shit done faster and do understand tech. Downside they're British those accents at times are just horrible. Also they're instructors which I view as the bane of snowboarding tech advances since they all ride like robots and seem to always push camber on people. Plus I question their brand allegiances only due to a run in I had with them about my thoughts on the current state of Rossignols marketing. Also don't like that there's reviews of shit they don't ride, if you didn't ride it don't put a review!
The Good Ride: Where to begin with these guys. This site was created solely to boost an online ad revenue stream in my opinion. The guy that runs it is a tool, I met him last year at a demo in Utah and the shit coming out of his mouth was fucking hilarious to say the least. They use unquantifiable numbers which mean fuck all, the shit is vague, and generally shit is just so all over the place. I would trust this about as much as a monkey trying to put a condom on me while I'm fucking an aids infested crack slut. Long ago he asked me to back him and as I don't see him bringing anything new to the table or offering anything great I basically told him to fuck off in my true fashion. Reviews of stuff they didn't ride so they can push online affiliate advertising is lame as fuck as well.
Angry Snowboarder: After four and a half years of doing this I can safely say I hate this thing with every ounce of my being. It has cost me jobs, friendships, my health, my retirement package, my credit score, and countless other things. Yet at the same time I love it and would never change my attempt to bring you guys the most comprehensive snowboard site int he universe. The struggles to keep this thing going have all been worth it and honestly if it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't continue doing it.
Reviews fucking suck and I hate doing them but until someone can actually fill the void and do them to a level I feel comfortable recommending people to I will continue to lead on trying to be number 1. After all if you're not first you're last.
Every year is a challenge with the site and last year was the worst by far. Dislocating an elbow on X mas day going into review season dampened the amount of reviews I could bang out. Add to that the worst winter ever, companies not having product, and all these upstart sites that haven't been mentioned on here going after free hand outs in the guise of reviews it was just hard. The year before I did 100 reviews in 100 days (think it was like 113 actually), it worked and proved that the boundaries you could do things can be pushed beyond an acceptable level.
The ability to adapt year after year and change is the biggest challenge I face. Going into the 2013/14 review season which starts in about 2 weeks we're going in a new direction. There will be video reviews, written reviews, and specials. Think of it as UK Top Gear but for snowboarding and without the accents but that sense of humor. It's a huge under taking in itself and I've done a lot of things to line this all up. We have our version of The Stig lined up called The Stoke. We're aiming for 200 snowboard reviews, 50 pairs of bindings, and a shit load of humor.
Contrary to what one really mentally unstable snowboard company says, the site is self financed and the ad revenue it generates is next to nothing. The contracts that I have in place are written specifically to continue to give me full control over reviews good, bad, or indifferent as well as all editorial content. Unlike some people I'm not afraid to bite the hand that feeds me, I like to let people know I'm still hungry. Also I can't stress this point enough with all the gear we go through I try to return 90% of it to companies in terms of hard goods. Just to give you guys some frame of reference a certain company dug the fact I liked one of their premiere models and offered to give me a head to toe set up if I backed it as my number 1 choice and daily ride, I told them I was content with my Arbor and that free gear didn't sway me, they stopped talking to me after that. Now outerwear is a different story, I don't return that to companies because who wants crusty gear after I've taken it in a hot tub/sauna to test breathability and waterproofing? What I try to do with the left over gear is pay it forward to the less fortunate around the county, this will probably be the only time I mention this as I don't want a pat on the back or any recognition for this it's just my belief that if you get free gear you should pay it forward with no strings attached. I will say though watch out for people that get constant freebies from companies and seem to push their products hard. Only take what you need that's my advice.
So in short this is my master thesis on snowboard reviews, demos, free gear, and hookers. If you ever have a direct question my email is firstname.lastname@example.com I try to answer anything that comes in, but as the name of the site states I'm a bit angry.

What annoys me about shayboarder is that here is a chick rider with the opportunity to review a lot boards, and she reviews more men's boards than women's.
Doesn't do much for me or my gender.
Ride Big
Another review site, mostly geared towards bigger riders but still gives a good additional point of view for smaller riders as well.

Thanks for that impartial advice their Nivek.
On the whole I am inclined to agree with him though, the good ride seems to make some strange conclusions about boards it would appear they haven't ridden.
I personally try to find all the info I can get on various sites and take them all with a pinch of salt. If you see several people on different sites making similar observations about the same board that gives you something to go by.
Personal preference has to play a huge part, nothing wrong with that its human nature.
Conditions will play a big role as well.
As far as I know there are very few independent gear review sites here in Japan (in Japanese). Maybe a gap in the market.

they then rate the Mob Bosses as a 3 out of 5 for flex.
People on this forum have said that the Mobs are flexier and more of a jib binding than the 390s.
is this true?
Shayboarder is awful. She'll like anything from a company that hooks her up. And I've seen her ride. She can't do anything to actually test a board.
Agnarchy has good dudes over there.
Snowboard Review... after some poking around I only found a few things I didn't like. Seems alright.
Geek doesn't have enough on there and I've yet to see anything to suggest they aren't just licking the hand feeding them.
Angry. I work for him. You trust him, he trusts me.
I take those things into consideration. Despite what people seem to think, we do get gnar ice in CO. Especially at Keystone. There are sides of that mountain that sit in the sun most of the day, then around 1:30 shade hits. That'll easily drop the temp 20* in half an hour. It gets bulletproof.
On top of that, a good tester can tell what the edgehold is gonna be like on standard groomers here. If you're the type that can feel the minute changes in snowboards you can translate it's reactions in certain conditions to others.

hey mike is the payment a 1 time thing or monthly?
This will be a yearly cost for this. It is a good offer since you get a shirt and also all the discounts you can have you money back in no time.
Are only those who are in the Players Club granted access to the B/S/T section, or is it similar to an ASM kind of thing, where the members have priority, the rewards a.k.a. the discounts to the store, shipping second etc.? Or is everyone capable of using it but those in the club are given said rewards to being in the club.
Only Club members will have access to the BST. You will also get discounts on items we sell. Plus we are offering a guarantee. We will assist the police in every manner possible to resolve the issue for you as quickly as possible. you should read the details and perhaps you will understand what is included in the deal.

Well ajabar_805, do not let us hold you and enjoy your stay on the Nation. I am sorry that you feel like you do, but it will not change the facts that this is the system we have implemented to get started. So do not let the door hit you where the good lord split you. So thanks for the threat, we will be here when you want to come back.
Posted 03 November 2008 - 06:58 PM
I remember talking to willie maybe last week and he said the BST would take a VERY long time to make, is this the permanent TechPB BST or is this just something to get going?
Like I said I really like the Players Club because I think it would reduce scammers.

Sorry we can not accept cash through the mail. We need to be able to confirm your information via Paypal. This also protects you from currency being stolen in the mail and we have no way to confirm it. Sorry, but we can not accept this. Thank you for the offer.
do you accept cash sent through the mail?

i dont get it.
so you charge people $30 so they can use ur bst form. how is this going to stop people from scamming? this is just like asm on pbnation its pointless. just because people pay $30 to use it dose not mean they are not going to scam. so big deal you have there paypal account, thats not going to get you stuff or money back. go look at pbnation, asm scam on there all the time.
techpb couldn't come up with anything better then this?
i guess ebays still the way to go...

Posted 06 November 2008 - 03:48 PM
When it comes down too it I am looking solely at forum access and the insurance vs cost vs user base, which will be what most users will be looking at I think and it eliminates all casual users. Heck, many people won't even register for a free account unless they see soemthing they absolutly must respond to (the whole see part again)
I haven't decided yet if i am going to purchase it, if I do it will be to support the site; because I have to say I don't think the user base for BST will be there to justify it. I hope you prove me wrong.

That could be a way people under 18 or cant access a debit/credit card could join the club.
But it -does- only take a checking account with a debit card to sign up for paypal so im not sure the confusion.

7 yards ... whoops. Finally committed on Sunday morning at 9:07am ... big purdy Rio pushing 25 lbs. ... crisp cool and a bit humid. Had a few working on the roost and then poof, they're gone, which is pretty typical round these parts. Ground it out and had this lonely boy slip up real bad drumming the whole way in tight through a persimmon thicket straight to the muzzle.
I've got a better picture that shows the color a LOT better, but my phone just doesn't seem to want to send an email right now ... this one's a bit washed out.

"I couldn't be happier with this invitation! The card stock is of nice quality and the printing turned out great. I love how colorful it is! Even the back of the card is super cute too. Perfect for my son's first birthday!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Again, these were perfect for a nine year old's "Lego Birthday Party"....I used a photo of him in his Lego costume from last Halloween!"
"I really liked everything about the card. My only wish is that I was able to write a message on the back - especially since it's a pool party and wanted to add additional info about rain location etc."
"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 11th birthday. She's too old now for the cutesy invites and she's not a frilly girl, so this was perfect. I'm very pleased with the quality."

Tacke Named Softball Assistant Coach
NEW ROCHELLE, NY - Iona College softball head coach Melissa Inouye announced the addition of Sarah Tacke as an assistant coach for the 2012-13 season. Tacke joins the Gaels coaching staff after serving as an volunteer assistant coach at her alma mater of the University of Virginia last season.
"I am very excited to add Coach Tacke to the staff," said Inouye. "She is a great addition to the program, having played and coached at Virginia, in the competitive ACC."
At Virginia, Tacke served as the team's first base coach and the team's video editor for all pitching and batting clips. Tacke also assisted the Cavaliers' hitting coach in leading team/individual sessions and assisted in day to day practice organization. She was responsible for overseeing student managers and helped with team travel arrangements, including flight information, hotel procurement, meal money, restaurant locations and reservations, and catered meals.
Tacke played at Virginia from 2006-10. She led the Cavaliers during her junior and senior seasons in both batting average and RBI. As a senior in 2010, she paced the offense with a .354 average and a team-best 43 RBI in helping Virginia to its first NCAA Tournament berth. That season, Tacke was also a first team All-Region and second team All-Conference honoree. Tacke ranks among Virginia's top-10 career record holders in home runs, doubles, extra base hits, RBI and walks.
Tacke received her bachelor's degree in biology from UVa in 2009 and earned a master's degree in conservation biology in 2011.
"Sarah was a talented student-athlete both on and the off the field and her skills and experience will be very beneficial," added Inouye. "I look forward to working with her and our players in the near future."

Idiomatic language and "expressions" are often one of the hardest things to master in the English language. Even harder for teachers to teach idioms and expressions! Context is so important for this.
But now you can do it with the amazing video "context" of EnglishCentral. Just click an idiom in the player line and get a description of the idiom. Hear it pronounced. Practice it. It works just like it does for a word you don't understand.
Try it out in this Anderson Cooper video. He uses quite a few basic idioms. Happy teaching and learning idioms and expressions

Cause of Unexplained Anaphylaxis
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will explore the possible cause of unexplained, or idiopathic, anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a rapid, life-threatening, severe reaction that occurs suddenly after contact with an allergy-causing substance, usually a particular food, drug or stinging insect. The allergen triggers mast cells to release several substances, including histamine. Histamine is responsible for many of the symptoms that may occur, such as flushing, hives, swelling of the palms and soles or tongue and vocal cords, nasal congestion, itching and tearing of the eyes, shortness of breath and wheezing, stomach pain, vomiting, low blood pressure, loss of consciousness, shock, and, rarely, death. Severe episodes of anaphylaxis are treated with epinephrine (adrenaline), followed by oral antihistamines and steroids. In more than half of cases of anaphylaxis, a clear cause is not identified. These cases are called idiopathic anaphylaxis. There is no cure or long-term preventive therapy for patients with recurrent episodes of idiopathic anaphylaxis.
People between 18 and 55 years of age who have idiopathic anaphylaxis episodes at least 6 times a year (with at least one episode every 3 months) may be eligible for this study.
Participants are evaluated at the NIH Clinical Center with the following tests and procedures:
- Medical history, physical examination and blood tests.
- Bone marrow biopsy. For this test, the skin over the hipbone and the outer surface of the hipbone itself are numbed with local anesthesia. Then, a needle is inserted into the hipbone and a small amount of bone marrow is drawn into a syringe. The needle also cuts a small core of bone marrow, which is removed for analysis.
- Other tests that may be needed for evaluation of the patient s condition.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Studies in the Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Anaphylaxis
- Clinical samples obtained from the bone marrow biopsy and whole blood will be used to determine genetic and signaling abnormalities in mast cells and will be correlated with clinical features of idiopathic anaphylaxis. [ Time Frame: 11/01/19 ]
- Clinical samples obtained from the bone marrow biopsy and whole blood will be used investigate the presence or absence of a monoclonal mast cell disorder. [ Time Frame: Ongoing ]Human mast cells will be also cultured from blood to search for functional and genetic abnormalities within the mast cell compartment that may correlate with clinical features of the disease.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|July 16, 2008
Anaphylaxis is a severe life-threatening systemic hypersensitivity reaction resulting from the release of mediators from mast cells and basophils, and is characterized by the presence of cutaneous, respiratory, cardiovascular, or gastrointestinal signs and symptoms. Although the most common causes of anaphylaxis are reactions to foods, pharmaceutical agents, and stinging insects, a causative factor is not identified in up to 50% of individuals with recurrent anaphylaxis. These individuals are thus said to have idiopathic anaphylaxis (IA). The mechanistic cause of IA remains uncertain, although elevated levels of urinary histamine, plasma histamine, and serum tryptase are consistent with mast cell activation.
This protocol will focus on the pathogenesis of IA. Subjects 13-70 years old with episodes of unexplained anaphylaxis will be evaluated in order to correlate both clinical and laboratory features that are typical of idiopathic anaphylaxis to identify genetic and molecular pathways that may predispose to these events and to determine signaling abnormalities in mast cells. We plan to enroll up to 100 subjects in this study. We anticipate that our findings will be a first step toward the development of novel targeted therapies.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|13 Years to 60 Years (Child, Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Subject must be at least 13 years of age and no older than 70 years of age.
- Diagnosis of anaphylaxis occurring in the absence of an identifiable provoking agent of stimulus (Idiopathic Anaphylaxis [IA]) by a referral physician. Patient may carry both the diagnosis of 1A and the diagnosis of anaphylaxis provoked by an identified stimulus.
- History of anaphylaxis with a minimum of 3 episodes in the past year.
One doctor's office or ER visit or hospitalization for anaphylaxis without an established etiology with involvement of the skin and/or mucosal tissue (e.g., flushing, itching, hives, angioedema, tongue swelling) and at least one of the following:
- Elevated serum tryptase above subject s baseline measurement within 6 hours of the event.
- Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, hoarseness-laryngeal edema, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced peak expiratory flow, hypoxemia).
- Gastrointestinal symptoms of vomiting and/or diarrhea
- Reduced blood pressure and/or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction (as evidenced hypotonia, hypoxia, collapse, syncope or incontinence).
- Letter of referral from prospective study participant's referring physician, with copies of available medical evaluation and laboratory studies
- Able and willing to consider a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate
- Presence of conditions which in the judgment of the investigator or the referring physician may put the subject at undue risk for travel (including frequent episodes of IA not preventable by pre-medication, acute infection, severe thrombocytopenia [minimum platelet count of 30,000], or significant cardiovascular disease)
- Any medical condition that in the view of the principal investigator would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment in this study (such as advanced renal disease).
- Inability to provide informed consent.

text: For the retro-inspired SportClassic series, Ducati dug into the archives to create a line of bikes reminiscent of their iconic 1970's cafe-racer models. The end result is a harmonious mix of old and new. But don't be fooled by all the vintage sheet metal – this bike is no Sunday cruiser and boasts 92 horsepower in a package that weighs just under 400 pounds. This stylish gent opted to remove the front fairing, adding his own sprezzatura!

alpha shooting sports has a selection of 300 BO barrels.
16"s shorties some of them nitirded or stainless.
i have bought a few 5.56 barrels from them in the past, i wish i had bought some of their stainless steel 5.45 and 7.62x39 barrels before they went up.
anyway $100 for a 300BO shortie seems like a deal for those building that quiet can project.
you have to enter a code to get the $100 price 300 Black Out
they have other 300BOs for the regular price of $159

It will take a long battle to convince some climate scientists that the sun is important.
Bitterly cold in Eastern Europe. The Arctic Ocean at Nome, Alaska this January froze solid for 1/2 a mile or more off shore. This has never been recorded in the history of the 49th state. Record cold in Fairbanks. Ok, so its not been that cold up to now in the lower 48 but it's supposed to be GLOBAL WARMING, not local warming, gee.
QuoteIt will take a long battle to convince some climate scientists that the sun is important.Isn't that the truth.
... Global warming (or climate change) is yesterdays coffer filling mechanism. Some are jumping ship and are siding with biotech mega-companies to control the world's food supply. That is where the big money will be in the near future...
If the world was warming up, then Florida and other coastal/low lying areas would be under water. The oceans have not raised one inch.Jim
:drowning: Yeah right, tell it to some of the worlds Island Nations. Or even just a bit North of Jacksonville. Ask those living in coastal Virginia or the Carolina's whether the Oceans are rising. Some of you folks subscribe to Conspiracy National, heh? :-D or just live in a cave somewhere :roll:Man, I miss IKE, the last President to have the guts to "PAY" for war w/ a tax on the war profiteers, and a Republican too. He'd likely be labled a liberal by todays conservatives.thomas
Hm mm. Got Denigration?t
Northern Wisconsin has just experienced its warmest winter ever recorded, to that I can concur... It is cyclical no doubt, but moving at a pace never recorded before...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
"Enlighten someone!" heh...
We have small C-shaped flourescents (5 watt, I believe) as bunk reading lights that are so nice that I wouldn't change them for LEDs, given the limited time they typically are on. I can see switching the 10 W incandescent bulkhead lights, however, as they are behind little shades and a "warm LED cluster" on a standard bayonet mount would not likely change the "perception" of how the light is used (to illuminate the dinner table), but would save a lot of amps, as these lights are on four or five hours per night.
We need spots for the head and the galley, and LEDs seem the way to go here. I have a nasty bluish single LED in the icebox, but that is actually quite sufficient to identify what I want in a hurry, at a tiny draw. I've actually left this one on for days at a time by mistake, and the draw doesn't register if the weather's heated up a bit, thereby warming the batteries.
General area lighting and LED's
For a long time I dreamed of being able to light up the interior of our boat and go for night after night without hurting the battery levels. I felt that LEDS were going to advance and make this possible. Unfortunately for interior area lighting they simply do not produce light in a manner that makes this possible. I can go quite a few days without recharging with the engine using a different lighting technology. BTW I have two young daughters that use lots of lights and insist on sleeping with a night light on. Any time I'm below I always seem to be turning off the lights behind them.
I hope everyone will forgive my murdering of lighting terminology. Think of a lumen as a volume of light. LED's do not produce as many lumens per watt as do compact flourescent bulbs (CFL). So for light volume per watt CFL is way more efficient than LEDS. There is another technology cold cathode ray flourescent that is even more efficient for interior lighting applications. This is what we currently use. I purchased a number of bulbs from Glenergy in Canada. They have worked well and kept me from fretting about the amps. I did kind of hurt one - cracked it's mounting base but it has been going strong with only a black tape patch. They have a one watt version that is acceptable to my daughters for night long use. An eight hour burn is only .75 amps! For general area lighting we use 5 watt bulbs and one is enough to light up the main cabin in our 30' sloop. With two on you can read anywhere in the cabin.
LED's can work well in nav lights. If you are retrofitting your fixtures, you just need to fit the most bulb possible into your old fixture. Be sure to get colored bulbs for red and green applications. Otherwise your colored lenses will stifle the light output. Your anchor light is a biggie cause you often run it from dusk to dawn. Leds make good spot lighting for task lights, etc. on the inside. And I simply will not own a non-led flashlight any longer.
Hopefully our experience will enlighten someone.
Best regards,
FWIW, the "good" LEDs are units like the Lumileds Luxeon K2, which at one time was the light source for the Orca Green Marine LED nav lights. These LEDs require a constant current control and GOOD heat sinking. The constant current controller is cheap. The heat sinking is critical, as LED lifetime is directly related to the junction temperature of the LED. The major reason for the cheaper, encapsulated LEDs (the type that require several dozen to produce intense light) having a short lifetime is that they have no way of shedding heat. The premium LEDs like the ones used by OCM have a dedicated thermal connection and do a much better job of keeping the LED cool.

LEDs, like other solid-state devices, only have a long life when properly fabricated and matched to the installation.
If you take a look at the LED tail lights commonly used on trucks and busses, they are a prime example of cheap LEDs. One or two dozen cheap LEDs in each unit, three or four burn out within the year but that's OK because the unit itself is still bright enough--and cheap. Using better LEDs and adding protection to the circuit would raise the cost tenfold, so cheap and sloppy wins.
OTOH the LEDs in a mercedes or Cadillac taillights supposedly raise the cost of the array to $700 factory net. They're designed to go 5-10 years without any burnouts.
Prime LEDs, properly protected, have a life near 100,000 hours. Adding protection costs more than an LED does.
Kind of like sails: They all work, some just work better and longer than others.
Just talked to a couple of colleagues who are using LED replacement bulbs in their nav lights. One is happy so far, the other has three LEDs fail in the bulb, the others working after one year. - The LEDs might have a long life, but the bit of electronics and wiring inside the bulb may not.
They recommended "wait a while" for the technology to improve and the prices to come down.
|The best route with LEDs (as has been mentioned here before) is to use colored LEDs for color applications. Not the cheap kind with a coating on the lens, but true red or green LEDs. They are more efficient, and the cost less than white LEDs. All that being said, if colored LEDs just aren't feasible for your need, the next best option is your proposal for white LEDs with a colored filter.
My thought process was to replace white bulbs behind colored lenses with white LED's, so the "color flaking off" will not be an issue. I also bought a couple of red LED's to try in some of the cabin lights for night vision reasons.
As I said before, I have not installed them yet. Will have to wait till spring.
In most boats, I agree completely. It is just a trend in the industry to try and make the LED fixtures brighter and cheaper, and right now, the easiest way to do that is with the cooler white colors. More bang for the buck so to speak.
The LEDs that I have set aside for my own boat are much warmer (3000K), but will require an additional LED per fixture to get the desired light level.
I should also say that I am accustomed to using the various power LEDs from the big five manufacturers, and it seems that most of the fixtures and bulb replacements (for boats at least) still use the small encapsulated style of LED. The newer power LEDs offer a lot more options and I expect to see them more and more in the better fixtures in the future.

The role I see for LEDs (aside from nav light replacement bulbs, which I hope are made compliant in the next couple of years), is as indirect area lighting in the saloon, as "floor lighting" on companionway steps (these could be red and quite dim), as engine room lighting, and as dimmable spots for chart reading at night.
Will we have to get hazardous waste permits to dispose of all the mercury in all those 'green' lights mandated by the us gov?
Will we have to pay unemployment ins to all the us labor that will get laid off when the chinese made 'green' lights are mandated?

Some mags are pretty stiff when new. To be honest though, I'm not sure why anyone would be concerned about stuffing a seventeenth round into a mag, but then again we all have our individual concerns.
I wouldn't lube a mag, as the lube can eventually seep into the cartridges. Not a problem of course if you only load the mags when you are actively shooting, and don't keep them loaded for a long time.

Windows Embedded Standard* 7 (WES7*) Installation Guide for Intel® Atom™ Processor-based Systems
Please read Notices and Disclaimers before using this guide.
This guide will use a Windows Embedded Standard* 7 (WES7) installation disc from Microsoft. WES7 can also be installed from an image on another hard drive or USB drive. The user needs to have their own licensed version of Windows Embedded System 7 operating system.
- Configure your BIOS to boot first from your optical drive, then boot from your WES7 disc.
Select "Build an Image."
Accept the license agreement, and the "Choose how to create your image" screen is displayed:
- Each image has a different set of features enabled for its intended application. Choose "Application Compatibility" to install all Windows Embedded Standard 7 features.
- The next screen reviews the drivers and features that will be installed, as determined by the image you selected. You can add or remove features at this point, and the required disk space (displayed on the bottom right) reflects these changes.
Select where to install WES7:
- If WES7 is the only operating system you want to install on this disk, format the disk and create a new partition of the maximum possible size. This erases all data currently on the disk.
- If you are installing WES7 alongside another operating system, select one of the available partitions. If the partition shows 0.0 MB of available free space, it is likely not formatted in a Windows*-compatible file system (for example, EXT file systems which are commonly used with Linux* are not compatible.) In this case, select the partition and format it.
WES7 is now installed. This procedure takes approximately 1.5 hours, depending on your hardware.

OK guys, this is a little advice for the new guys that find and post on this site.
You can go back several years on this site very easily and search by River name, lake name, duck type, boat type, etc.
So before you post a question asking about this or that, I suggest you do a search of previous posts and spend a few minutes reading the posts and responses before posting a new question.
Know this seems elementary, but apparently some of our newest members are not aware of the search option because they keep posting the same questions over and over.
There has probably been advice given in years past that is easily found by doing a little work.
So if you do not want to have to file a hurt feelings report every time you post, spend a few minutes, search the past posts, and then if your question or topic is not discussed post away.
Have a safe New Year and wear your life preservers.

New Hampshire's moose hunt called successful
By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader | November 02. 2013 8:04PM
Not exactly, according to state Fish and Game officials.
The state's moose hunt came to a close Oct. 27. Early hunt results reported by the Fish and Game Department show 179 hunters were successful in their bids to take down moose over the nine days. Of those 179, 97 were bulls (54 percent) and 82 were cows (46 percent). Final hunt results will be available when state officials complete data entry and analysis.
Breaking down the numbers by region, early results show moose hunters having an 87 percent success rate in the North Country, 81 percent in the White Mountains; 47 percent in the central part of the state, 40 percent in the Southwest corner; and 25 percent in the Southeast region.
"Deaths occur all the time in the wild, and nobody sees it," said Pekins. "When you have marked animals, you can follow them to see their fate."
Some scientists have said warmer winters may be to blame, but Pekins isn't so sure.
"I think it's very unreasonable to think that distress due to heat is causing this decline in the moose population," said Pekins. "We think its probably a combination of parasites and diseases."
Rines said scientists are also collecting data on ticks. She said participants in the moose project would begin placing collars on moose in January.
Rines said data being collected will be used to shape the parameters of future moose hunts.
"If the moose population keeps declining, we will reduce permits accordingly to maintain these creatures in our state," said Rines.

A major goal of the Turkish government is persuading the European Union to accept its application for membership, but a stumbling block in gaining entry has been gender inequity in Turkey. Foreign Minister Ali Babacan says if his nation is to gain membership there is need to pass new legislation dealing with issues of gender equality. He noted his country is following closely new proposals in the EU that improve equality for women in education and employment as well as strengthening parental leave needs. "Turkey is closely following the program to prevent violence against women and children," he said. "We are planning to train judges, prosecutors, municipalities and security forces on violence against women.
There is a rather low level of female membership in Parliament and other government institutions. Many attribute this to the low level of schooling for females and gender bias. Turkey has done more in terms of gender equity than most Muslim nations in the region. It has yet to reach its goals, but there is sign of progress.

Carfilzomib (Kyprolis®)
Pronounced: car-fil-zoe-mib
Classification: Proteasome Inhibitor
About Carfilzomib (Kyprolis®)
Carfilzomib works by inhibiting the 26S proteasome. A proteasome is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking down proteins in all cells (healthy or cancerous). By blocking the action of proteasome, protein builds up in the cells and causes them to die, therefore preventing tumor growth.
How to Take Carfilzomib
Carfilzomib is given by IV (intravenous) infusion, which takes only a few minutes. The dose you receive is based on your body size. Carfilzomib is given on two consecutive days each week, for three weeks, followed by a 12-day rest period. You may be given a steroid (dexamethasone) prior to the infusion to prevent a reaction. Drink plenty of fluids while on this therapy (unless directed otherwise). Your oncology team may also give you IV fluids before and/or after each infusion.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Carfilzomib. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Infusion Reactions
The infusion can cause a reaction that may lead to chills, fever, low blood pressure, facial flushing, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, feeling faint, chest pain. You will receive dexamethasone prior to the infusion to help prevent these reactions. Reactions are most common during the first week of therapy, including the evening after the infusion. Your doctor or nurse will tell you what to do if this happens.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods and absorbs fluid, which can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration.
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia)
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
- Do not use a razor (an electric razor is fine).
- Avoid contact sports and activities that can result in injury or bleeding.
- Do not take aspirin (salicylic acid), non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as Motrin®, Aleve®, Advil®, etc. as these can all increase the risk of bleeding. Unless your healthcare team tells you otherwise, you may take acetaminophen (Tylenol).
- Do not floss or use toothpicks and use a soft-bristle toothbrush to brush your teeth.
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
- Washing hands, both yours and your visitors, is the best way to prevent the spread of infection.
- Avoid large crowds and people who are sick (i.e.: those who have a cold, fever or cough or live with someone with these symptoms).
- When working in your yard, wear protective clothing including long pants and gloves.
- Do not handle pet waste.
- Keep all cuts or scratches clean.
- Shower or bath daily and perform frequent mouth care.
- Do not cut cuticles or ingrown nails. You may wear nail polish, but not fake nails.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before scheduling dental appointments or procedures.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before you, or someone you live with, has any vaccinations.
Low Red Blood Cell Count (Anemia)
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion.
Fatigue is very common during cancer treatment and is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion that is not usually relieved by rest. While on cancer treatment, and for a period after, you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Electrolyte Changes
Carfilzomib can cause changes in the levels of certain electrolytes, including potassium. Your healthcare team will monitor your electrolyte levels throughout treatment.
Heart Problems
Carfilzomib can cause or worsen pre-existing heart problems including congestive heart failure, restrictive cardiomyopathy, decreased heart function and heart attack. Notify your healthcare provider if you have sudden weight gain or swelling in the ankles or legs. If you develop chest pain or pressure, pain in the left arm, back, or jaw, sweating, shortness of breath, clammy skin, nausea, dizziness or lightheadedness, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Kidney Problems
This medication can cause acute kidney failure, especially in patients with a history of reduced kidney function. Your kidney function will be monitored throughout treatment. If you experience swelling of your face or body or a decrease in the amount of urine you are producing, notify your healthcare team immediately.
Lung Problems
Carfilzomib can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), respiratory failure, interstitial lung disease or an inflammation of the lungs (called pneumonitis). Notify your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worsening symptoms, including shortness of breath, trouble breathing, cough or fever.
Pulmonary Hypertension
This medication can cause pulmonary hypertension or high blood pressure in the arteries that supply blood to the lungs. Symptoms include: shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, chest pressure, swelling of feet, ankles or legs, racing heart. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare team or go to the emergency room immediately.
High Blood Pressure
This medication can cause high blood pressure (hypertension). Patients should have their blood pressure checked regularly during therapy. Any hypertension should be treated appropriately. If hypertension cannot be controlled, the medication may be stopped.
Blood Clots
Carfilzomib can increase the risk of blood clots (DVT or PE). Symptoms can include: swelling, redness or pain in an extremity, or shortness of breath. If you experience symptoms of these problems, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately or go to an emergency room.
Liver Toxicity
This medication can cause liver toxicity, which your doctor may monitor for using blood tests called liver function tests. If you develop elevations in your liver function tests, your healthcare provider may need to lower your dose or stop the medication. Notify your healthcare provider if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, your urine appears dark or brown or pain in your abdomen, as these can be signs of liver toxicity.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES)
In rare cases this medication has caused a neurological disorder called posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Symptoms of PRES include headache, seizure, lethargy, confusion, blindness and other visual and neurological disturbances. Report any of these symptoms to your healthcare team immediately.
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura/Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (TTP/HUS)
This medication can also cause another rare syndrome called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura/hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP/HUS). Your healthcare team will monitor you for symptoms of TTP/HUS throughout your treatment with carfilzomib. Notify your healthcare team if you have bruising or bleeding.
Reproductive Concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment and for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive. You should consult with your healthcare team before breastfeeding while receiving this medication.
