Orders and Military Collectibles until 1918
Sale Date(s)
Venue Address
In order to offer our national and international customers an even better and quicker service, we have taken the decision to have complex shipments carried out by specialist service providers only. Not only will this speed up our invoicing process, it means you receive your purchases considerably faster.
In some cases, the transportation of unusually large, fragile, particularly long or exceptionally heavy objects involved interminable price calculations to determine the optimal packing and shipping costs. This often caused enormous delays in invoicing, which understandably resulted in the dissatisfaction of our customers.
As of the 98th Auction, we no longer handle the shipping of such objects ourselves. The packaging and transportation of complex objects is now carried out by specialised forwarding companies with the required expertise, longstanding experience and necessary resources. Nonetheless, we will continue to ship all firearms directly.
Once again, you will receive your invoice directly after the
sale has closed. If the invoice includes shipping costs, Hermann Historica will be handling the transportation. However, if shipping is not specified on the invoice, you must make your own delivery arrangements. We can recommend a number of reputable companies with whom we have worked successfully in the past. They are extremely professional and efficient in arranging for the goods to be picked up, then packed and shipped. These companies also handle customs clearance for export outside the EU. We will issue the necessary export permits for cultural artefacts and firearms.
On request, we are happy to obtain quotes for shipping from these partners on your behalf. Naturally, you may entrust your objects to another forwarding agent if you prefer, provided the carrier also offers packaging services.
Our recommended partners are listed below. If you have any further questions, please send an email with the subject "Shipping" to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kind regards,
The Hermann Historica Team
Please always write "Shipping on behalf of Hermann Historica" in the subject line when contacting our partners.

Important shipping information
Due to changed regulations it is unfortunately no longer possible to send any kind of firearms from Germany to foreign destinations by regular mail service. We will, if possible, organise international shipping through forwarding agents or specialised courier services, however, with the consequence of noticeably higher shipping costs.

Terms & Conditions
Terms & Conditions
The auction process shall be subject to our General Auction Terms and Conditions. These terms form an integral part of the resulting contracts. The General Auction Terms and Conditions are listed hereinafter and displayed in the auction room. Both by taking part in the auction and by submitting bids, you agree to accept the General Auction Terms and Conditions.
General Auction Terms and Conditions
- Hermann Historica GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the Auctioneer) shall by default carry out the auction as an intermediary in the name of and for the account of third parties, unless explicitly marked as acting as commission agent in its own name and on behalf of consignors, or in its own name and for its own account. The auctions may be conducted on or outside the business premises of the Auctioneer, with physical participation of bidders, by phone, online or by using any other digital or electronic media, in particular dedicated electronic auctioning platforms, limited to such platforms ("online-only"), and as "timed auctions".
- The catalogue descriptions and any verbal statements neither constitute nor contain guarantees of any specific characteristics. All objects coming up for auction are offered as used. The lots may be viewed and examined prior to the auction. All lots are sold "as seen", without any guarantee or liability in respect of visible or hidden defects. Once the bid has been accepted, no complaints of any kind may be taken into account. The right of withdrawal (with or without reason) as stipulated in the various consumer protection laws does not apply.
- The Auctioneer undertakes to carry out all purchase orders, whether submitted in writing, by phone, email, fax or via an electronic auctioning platform, conscientiously but without assuming liability. The Auctioneer reserves the right to decline or disregard order bids, without giving a reason. A maximum bid must be indicated when submitting an offer in writing; however, the Auctioneer will only draw on this in the amount required to outbid other prospective buyers by one increment (approximately 5 %). In case of identical bids a draw will decide. Phone bidders will be contacted before their requested lot is called if a written order corresponding to at least the starting price of the object has been received in good time. Phone bidding will only be permitted in exceptional cases for objects with a reserve of less than € 800. No liability may be accepted for transmission errors or for difficulties with the phone connection. On electronic auctioning platforms bids are submitted by clicking the platform's "Bid" button, thus submitting the suggested amount required to outbid the previous high bid. "Classic" and "online-only" auctions are directed by an auctioneer who assigns the knock-down according to auction law, thus consumer protection rights of cancellation do not apply. In "timed auctions" the highest bid at the displayed end-time wins. The Auctioneer rules out any liability for consequential damage or loss of profit in the event the purchase order is not concluded, provided this was not caused by wilful misconduct on the part of an employee of the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer may refuse to accept any bids in which neither the object nor the amount of the bid can be clearly identified beyond doubt.
- The Auctioneer reserves the right to combine, separate, exclude, withdraw or rearrange any lot without giving a reason. The sale is concluded if no higher bid is submitted after a bid has been announced three times. The Auctioneer is entitled to accept the sale under reserve. If a bid is accepted conditionally, the bidder shall be bound by his bid for 4 weeks. If the bidder is not awarded the sale without reserve within this period, the bid expires. A written invoice sent to the address provided by the buyer shall be regarded as confirmation of the acceptance of the bid. Conditionally accepted bids expire without notification or further consultation with the reserve bidder. Without giving any reason, the Auctioneer may refuse any bid submitted either in person or in writing, if said bidder is unknown to him, has not provided a sufficient deposit or satisfactory references prior to the auction. Likewise, the aforementioned right of refusal also applies to customers whose accounts have not been settled in full at the time of the auction. In the event a bid is refused, the second highest bid shall be binding. If several people offer identical bids and, after the third time of asking, no higher bid is forthcoming, a draw shall decide the successful bidder. The Auctioneer is authorised to retract his acceptance of the bid and award the lot immediately in favour of a particular bidder at his discretion or to offer the object again if a higher bid made at the right time was erroneously overlooked or if any doubts arise regarding the sale. If the highest bidder wishes to withdraw his bid, the Auctioneer is entitled to accept his bid nevertheless with all consequent rights; however, he may also accept the second highest bid offered or repeat the whole call. At the bidders' request, any lot that initially remained unsold may be offered again and sold during the day of the auction, or may be transferred into a subsequent online-only auction.
- The successful bidder is obligated to pay the purchase price to the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer is authorised by the consignor to assert his rights arising from the sale. Prospective buyers submit bids in their own name and for their own account. The purchase price comprises the bid amount, a 29.5 % premium thereof, when bidding through a third-party auction platform their commission (usually within a range of 2 % to 5 %), and the costs of insurance, packaging and shipping, if the Auctioneer is commissioned to ship the lots. If the Auctioneer is acting as an intermediary, both the premium and the fees for insurance, packaging and shipping include statutory VAT. The amount of the hammer price shall be determined on the basis of the auction record. The purchase price is due as soon as the bid is accepted and is payable in cash and in Euros. The Auctioneer expressly refers to his duty to verify customer's ID according to the German Money Laundering Act. For credit transfers or payment by cheque on account of performance, the debt shall only be deemed to be settled when the purchase price has been credited irrevocably and in full to the Auctioneer's account. Moreover, foreign notes and coins or currencies will only be accepted according to the respective value amount that is finally credited to the Auctioneer's account by the bank. Shortfalls will be payable, including any fees for cheques or banking charges incurred. Please check our respective fees for payments by credit card. If a bidder acts as an agent for a third party, both may be held personally liable for obligations arising from the contract. This also applies if the invoice is issued in the name of another customer. The Auctioneer shall be exempt therefrom. Invoices issued during or immediately after the auction are subject to confirmation and may subsequently require correction. Any discrepancies in the amount shall be payable.
- Should the buyer fail to fulfil his payment obligations within the specified time limit, he is automatically in default. As a consequence, a minimum charge of € 25 will be added to the invoice amount, along with any payment reminder and/or collection fees incurred. At the same time, interest shall accrue at 5 % above the base rate p.a. Should the buyer fail to meet his payment obligations, despite receiving a reminder, he shall be liable for the damage caused by his default. If the Auctioneer asserts his right to compensation for non-performance under section 326 BGB (German Civil Code), he is entitled to offer the item for auction again at a later date. Once another buyer is found, all rights granted to the previous buyer shall expire. If the lot is resold, the previous buyer shall be regarded as the consignor and is therefore liable to recompense the Auctioneer's services; fees to the amount of 20 % (incl. VAT) for lots with a hammer price of € 300 and above, or 30 % (incl. VAT) for lots with a hammer price under € 300, as well as all additional costs incurred by the renewed sale of the item thus become payable. He shall have no claim to the excess proceeds. The proceeds from the new auction are to be offset against the debt of compensation on receipt of the payment or the credit by the Auctioneer in accordance with section 367 BGB. Moreover, the Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the contract if the buyer fails to pay the purchase price in full and/or collect his purchases within a reasonable time period set by the Auctioneer. In the event of rescission, the Auctioneer is entitled to demand compensation from the buyer for non-performance. In particular, the claim for compensation includes the commission charges incurred. The Auctioneer is entitled to claim 45 % of the hammer price as flat-rate compensation without further verification. Furthermore, the Auctioneer shall be permitted to provide proof of additional damages, particularly where these are higher than the flat-rate compensation.
- All lots sold must be collected on the same day. Lots purchased through the electronic auctioning platform can only be collected once payment has been received in full. Items collected are unpacked. Transport agents mandated by the buyer must handle adequate packing, shipping, if necessary export procedures by themselves. Shipment by the seller (e.g. in case of firearms) will only be effected once payment of item(s), fees, shipping, handling, insurance, and other related fees has been received in full. All risks pertaining to the item (e.g. damage) are transferred to the buyer on acceptance of his bid. As a matter of principle, the auctioned goods may only be delivered on payment of the purchase price. Nevertheless, should an item be released prior to payment of the purchase price, the transfer of ownership shall be subject to the condition precedent of payment of the purchase price in full to the Auctioneer. Under no circumstances is the buyer entitled to resell or alter the objects in any way. If the purchased items are not collected, the Auctioneer is entitled at his discretion to store the auctioned objects at his business premises or at the premises of a third party or to ship them to the buyer, including by cash on delivery. In case of storage at the Auctioneer's premises, the items shall be stored at the buyer's own expense and risk from the time his bid is accepted. Storage fees are charged at 1 % of the total purchase price incl. VAT per calendar month or part thereof, with the minimum charge being € 5. Any third-party storage shall be in the name, at the expense and risk of the buyer. Storage of firearms requiring official authorisation, which are subject to a special duty of safekeeping, is charged as a lump sum of € 10 per weapon per month. To non-German residents, requiring import and export permits, storage fees will only be charged from the end of the third month after completion of the sale. If sold lots are not collected within a period of 12 months, two collection reminders notwithstanding, the Auctioneer reserves the right to offer these objects for auction once again at the expense and risk of the buyer. In this case, the buyer is regarded as a consignor. Consignment fees, interest, storage costs and other expenses shall be deducted from the proceeds of the auction. Shipping shall be effected at the buyer's risk and expense. Items shipped by the Auctioneer shall be, at the buyer's expense, insured against the usual transport risks. The buyer undertakes to report any discernible damage to the packaging to both the forwarding agent and the Auctioneer without delay. Defects that only become apparent on unpacking the goods must also be reported to the forwarding agent and the Auctioneer without delay, but no later than one week after delivery. No liability will be accepted for defects in case of non-compliance with this requirement. All cases of shipment by an agent commissioned by the buyer are subject to the conditions stipulated in the contract concluded between these two parties, including all fees and all risks. The Auctioneer cannot accept any liability.
- The bidder shall bear any loss or damage resulting from transmission failures, misunderstandings or errors in telephone, telegraphic, wireless, fax and electronic communications with buyers, provided said damage was not caused by wilful or gross negligence on the part of the Auctioneer or his agents.
- The Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction without explanation, particularly those who engage in dealing or exchange during the auction, disturb the proceedings or whose accounts have not been settled in full. This is also applicable to the registration required for participation in online auctions.
- The above conditions also apply mutatis mutandis to public sales or subsequent private sales. The post-auction sale only commences at the end of the day on which the lot in question was first offered for sale.
- The buyer may only offset claims against the Auctioneer with liabilities in the same currency and to the extent that his claims are undisputed or have been confirmed by a court of law.
- The business premises of the Auctioneer shall be the place of performance for both parties if the buyer is a registered trader or a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or he has his place of residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany. The auction contract and all rights and obligations arising from the business relationship between the Auctioneer and the buyer shall be exclusively governed by German law. The Uniform Law on the International Sale of Goods, the Uniform Law on the Formation of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the CISG – United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall be excluded.
- With regard to sales in his own name, the Auctioneer guarantees the accuracy of the information provided in terms of the object's origin, age, epoch, manufacturer and materials. If, within 3 years from the day of the sale, this information proves to be materially incorrect, the buyer may rescind the transaction step by step, provided that the object is unaltered and still in the condition at the time of purchase. Any doubts regarding the information provided by the Auctioneer must be asserted without delay. The Auctioneer reserves the right to examine the buyer's statement in both an internal and a third-party review, prior to acknowledging any such claims, and to reject the complaint, as appropriate. Expert's reports commissioned by the buyer are at his own expense. Except for such claims regarding the nature of the object, for the purpose of consumer protection, the guarantee period vis-à-vis end customers shall be 1 year from the date of purchase.
- The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all present and future claims arising from the business relationship with registered traders and for claims asserted by the Auctioneer by way of a dunning procedure shall be the registered office of the Auctioneer. The same place of jurisdiction applies if the buyer does not have a place of general jurisdiction in Germany, or has transferred his place of residence or habitual abode to a country other than Germany after conclusion of the contract, or his place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time legal proceedings are instituted. In these cases, except for the dunning procedure, the plaintiff may choose whether he wishes to institute legal proceedings before Munich Local Court or Munich Regional Court I.
- As long as catalogue owners, participants of the auction and bidders do not state otherwise, they guarantee that they will use items dating from the time of the Third Reich and catalogues illustrating such items only for the purposes of civil education, to avert unconstitutional movements, to promote art or science, research or teaching, the reporting about current or historical events or similar purposes (§§ 86/86a StGB - German Criminal Code). The Auctioneer, his agents and consignors shall offer and/or deliver said items only under these conditions.
- The following applies to all objects sold by the Auctioneer that contain materials from protected and endangered species: the export of these goods – including ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn etc. – from the EU and their import into non-EU countries requires a permit from the regulatory authorities of both the exportation and the importation countries. Buyers intending to import any objects made of or incorporating materials from endangered species into a country that is not a member of the European Union must check their relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding. On request, Hermann Historica can apply for the export/re-export document from the Bundesamt für Naturschutz (Federal Agency for Nature Conservation) in Bonn for an administration fee of € 150/lot, and can organize expert opinions upon request by the authorities at cost (example: a certificate for rhinoceros horn will usually carry a fee of 100 to 150 Euros). Import permits are the sole responsibility of the buyer. The Auctioneer cannot guarantee the issuance of an export licence, which may take up to six months. As a rule of thumb, here are some examples of recent licence applications: rhinoceros horn - no German export permits for non-EU countries; processed ivory with CITES certificate: no export beyond EU borders. US import: no commercial imports! In rare cases non-commercial imports are permitted. The inability to export or import collectibles containing material from endangered or protected animal and plant species shall not be considered sufficient reason for bidders to withdraw from the sale.
- Objects that are classified as cultural goods under Council Regulation (EC) No. 116/2009 of December 18, 2008, require a licence to be exported from Germany. This regulation refers to a multitude of items, depending on their age and value, for example archaeological objects over 100 years old and manuscripts, regardless of their value. Firearms, Antique Arms & Armour, historical and military artefacts over 50 years old usually only require an export permit if they are valued at more than € 50,000, more recent objects are generally not subject to any export restrictions. Upon request and your letter of authorization the Auctioneer can apply for any necessary export permit for a fee of € 75 per group of objects (European, Asian, African, Latin American, etc.); the approval process may take up to 6 months.
- Orders and medals of the Federal Republic of Germany and her federal states, as well as their miniatures, ribbons, buttonhole bows and ribbon clasps, may only be sold to authorised persons according to section 14 paragraph 3 of the "Gesetz über Titel, Orden und Ehrenzeichen" (Law of Titles, Orders and Honours). Authorised persons include the recipients of the awards or persons in possession of a collecting licence. The collecting licence is granted by the responsible authority upon request (responsibility is regulated differently in each federal state). According to the commentary of the law, approval of a licence may only be refused by the responsible authority if there are serious grounds for doing so. By purchasing orders and medals of the Federal Republic of Germany and her federal states, the client affirms that he has been granted a collecting licence. Bids will only be accepted under these conditions.
- Firearms requiring a German firearm certificate may only be supplied to German nationals upon presentation of valid photo ID, corresponding possession and acquisition permit, and payment of a fee of € 5 per gun for notification under the provisions of section 34 WaffG (Weapons Act). Modern firearms will only be shipped to foreign buyers on receipt of the necessary German and foreign permits. Once the buyer presents a valid import permit, the Auctioneer will apply upon request for an export permit against a variable fixed fee, increased significantly as of February 1, 2024: Exports to gun dealers in the EU: for the first 5 guns € 35, for each additional 1 to 10 guns € 25. Exports to Endusers in the EU: for the first 5 guns € 75, for each additional 1 to 5 guns € 55. Exports to Non-EU-Countries: for the first 5 guns € 50, for each additional 1 to 10 guns € 25. For exports to the US/UK via our local partners MMBI (USA) and HML (UK) special conditions apply – please ask. We reserve the right to modify these fees if changed by our authorities. If any special conditions are imposed in obtaining a valid export permit, compliance with which involves additional fees and expenses, these shall be invoiced to and paid by the buyer. The sale remains legally binding, irrespective of whether the buyer holds a corresponding acquisition/possession/import permit. In the absence of a permit, the buyer shall be liable for his bid. Buyers domiciled abroad bear sole responsibility for observing the regulations in force at their place of residence on the acquisition and possession of weapons or war material. The Auctioneer cannot be held responsible in the event of loss. Firearms do not undergo functional testing but are sold as collector's items in the condition described. Therefore, the Auctioneer cannot assume any liability whatsoever for their fitness for use, functional reliability or accuracy. A warranty is excluded in this respect. The Auctioneer is obligated to submit firearms without a valid proof mark to the responsible authority. For historically significant weapons the Auctioneer endeavours to avoid proofing and to obtain a proofing waiver. The consignor shall bear the cost hereof or for proofing. The Auctioneer assumes no liability for damage sustained as a result of the proofing process or on the way to and from the proof house.
- If one or more of the above provisions should become invalid, in full or in part, it shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the purpose of the invalid provision. The other provisions shall remain unaffected.

Our new-ish online editor, Tom Nunlist, started a little less that a year ago, and took like a Kentuckian to bourbon in his "real" job, which is to handle the backend of the web site, shoot and edit videos, write the weekly newsletter, help readers with online, er, challenges and more.
In other words, he was hired for his technological expertise, rather than his woodworking experience…which was zero.
But when he was hired, Tom expressed interest in learning more about woodworking than just the lexicon he'd need to edit our posts and write the newsletter. And now, he's completed his first project for the magazine – a modular bookshelf and wine rack for the December 2012 I Can Do That column, under the expert tutelage of Robert W. Lang. (And FYI, the issue will be mailing to subscribers, both digital and postal, in two weeks).
Although I think Tom was disappointed that he couldn't use the table saw for an ICDT project, he did get to plug in and use a miter saw for the crosscuts, a router to cut rabbets and a jigsaw for the angles on the ends of the shelf. Oh – and he got his first taste of hand tools with the block plane he used to clean up the joints. (Now, I need to teach him to sharpen a plane blade and teach him cut dovetails…ya know…lure him to the hand-tool side of things early in his avocation before he becomes too enamored of those tailed tools.)
You can read Tom's first story now – like all of our ICDT projects, it's free online. And if you're at Woodworking in America this weekend (the Marketplace is open to the public from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, tickets are $10 at the door), try to find Tom (he's about 25 years old…so look for a young fellow), introduce yourself and welcome him to the woodworking fold. He did a great job with his first project – we're very proud.
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.

Stories & Reflections
Carlos Castaneda tells of how his master's master, Julian Osório, became a Nagual – a type of sorcerer according to certain Mexican traditions.
Julian worked as a actor in a traveling theater in the interior of Mexico. But his artistic life was only a pretext to flee the conventions imposed by his tribe: in fact, what Julian liked most was to drink and seduce the women – any type of woman, those he encountered during his theatrical performances. He overdid things and demanded so much of his health, that in the end he contracted tuberculosis.
Elias, a very well-known sorcerer among Iaque indians, was taking his evening walk when he found Julian lying in a field: his mouth was bleeding so much that Elias – who could see the spiritual world, could see that the young actor's death was near.
Using some herbs he had in his pocket, he managed to stop the bleeding. Then he turned to Julian:
– I cannot save you – he said. – I have done everything I can. Your death is very close now.
– I don't want to die, I'm too young – replied Julian.
Elias, like all Nagual men, was more interested in behaving like a warrior – concentrating his energy on the battle of life – than helping someone who had never respected the miracle of our existence. However, without being able to explain why, he resolved to answer the request.
– At five in the morning I shall depart for the mountains – he said. – Wait for me on the edge of the village, without fail. If you do not come, you shall die sooner than you think: your only chance is to accept my invitation. I will never be able to repair the damage you have inflicted on your body, but I can deviate your approach to the cliffs of death. All human beings fall into this abyss, sooner or later; you are a few steps from it, and I cannot bring you back from it.
– So what can you do?
– I can make you walk along the edge of the abyss. I shall mark your paces so that you follow the enormous length of the margin between life and death; you may go to the right or to the left, but as long as you don't fall down, you shall remain alive.
The Nagual Elias didn't expect much from the actor, a lazy, libertine and cowardly man. He was surprised when, at five o'clock the next morning, he found him waiting at one end of the village. He took him to the mountains, taught him the secrets of the ancient Mexican Naguas, and with time Julian Osório became one of the most respected iaque sorcerers. He was never cured of his tuberculosis, but lived to the age of 107, always walking along the edge of the abyss.
When the right time came, he started taking disciples, and was responsible for the training of Don Juan Matus, who in turn taught Carlos Castaneda the ancient traditions. Castaneda, with his series of books, ended up making these traditions popular the world over.
One afternoon, talking to another of D. Juan's disciples, Florinda, she commented:
– It is important for all of us to examine the path of Nagual Julian along the edge of the abyss. It makes us understand that we all have a second chance, even if we are very close to giving up.
Castaneda agreed: to examine Julian's path meant understanding his extraordinary fight to stay alive. He understood that this battle was fought by the second, tireless one against bad habits and self-pity. It wasn't a sporadic battle, but a constant, disciplined effort to keep his balance; any distraction or momentary debility might cast him into the abyss of death.
There was only one way of overcoming the temptations of his past life: to focus all his attention on the edge of the abyss, concentrate on every step, keep calm, and not become attached to anything but the present moment.
In my opinion, these lessons apply to each and every one of us.

Mark Wheeler
On Nov 1st 2008, I was
diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, indolent follicular, grade 3, level 4.
after the second treatment of the standard treatment of Rituxan and Chop, I
ended up in the hospital for a week. I had a fever that would not come
down and my bladder had developed stones.Was released but within a short
time was back in the hospital. This time my body was full of liquid, could
not walk, so I had to use a wheelchair and on constant oxygen. When we were
told that I had to have a third treatment immediately, my
wife rejected the idea. I was released but one of our doctors at the time
said that we were to get hospice immediately and that her decision was going to
cost me my life. If there is a glimmer of hope with the Burzynski clinic,
that is where we were going. We were ridiculed by the former Dr. as
he insisted they would only take our money with absolutely no cure
possible and that it was all a hoax.
With the aid of our son, we left for Burzynski Clinic and after Three weeks, I was out of the wheelchair, swelling gone and breathing on my own. I have a dedicated Oncologist in Huntsville who has worked with Dr. Burzynski on his recommendations of different chemo treatments thus saving a lot of traveling to and from TX. We cannot say enough about Dr. Burzynski's treatment, his wonderful staff including Dr. DeLeon, Dr. Kahn, Dr Yea and the list goes on to so many Dr.s. You are welcomed from the receptionist to the whole staff throughout the clinic. Dr. B's chemo NEVER made me sick and NO bad side effects. We have and will recommend his Treatment and his Clinic to one and all.

We all start off in the womb with feminine traits. A few weeks into fetal development fetuses have a pair of "urogenital folds" with a small protuberance in the middle, and the urethra behind the protuberance. After sexual differentiation occurs we are distinctly male, female, or intersex.
Couldn't it be argued that all bio males are trans-sexual in the sense that they started off as females? While biological males did not elect to undergo any sex change, the natural process of evolution in the womb does this.
This is just food for thought, it is likely to elicit a plethora of thoughts and comments and I thought it would be interesting for today's open forum. Thoughts?

Ya know what's funny is that
my son and I were talking about
that just the other day....
He said 'I WAS a girl once....Then I
grew up.'
I thought it was the funniest thing....
I would have been happy no matter what....
I just wanted a healthy baby :)

I'm so glad I wasn't born a woman. Being a woman seems so complicated ..

I would say that, despite all kids starting out sort-of female in the womb, you're only truly transsexual if you've had a conscious experience of feeling different from your assigned gender. Most cis males seem to have no memory of being female or being out of tune with their bodies.
But I've sometimes heard there are more transsexuals born male than born female, and I almost wonder if it could be due to a tendency for testosterone to fail to differentiate the brain in some cases, so that, despite developing boy parts, the brain never develops a sense that it should have boy parts and is expecting the default girl parts. - December 27, 2008 at 1:59 PM

I agree with space for the most part. I do think the change in sex characteristics in utero is interesting, though.
- December 27, 2008 at 6:24 PM
No, It's not possible to prove that the fetus could be trans because the science isn't their and with the current medical and scientific technology we have right now, it's not possible at the moment. Though come back to me within a 100 to 150 years and maybe we can prove it with the scientific technology of the future.
See, we can prove intersex more easily and very fast though DNA karyotying, Physiological, and biological. See we can take blood samples and run test for any intersex condition out their and prove it with a DNA karyotype.
Yes it's true that all fetus's start out in the default female form and if you want proof, take a look in a Grey's Anatomy book and look it up for your self. - December 28, 2008 at 12:36 AM

Yeah I think it is an interesting thing to ponder but for sure its completely different than the transgender experience, can't compare the two at all, it is like apples to oranges.
Anonymous - aka Nicky, this has nothing to do with intersex, or your hate for trans people, stop trying to turn every post into a discussion on how "intersex is natural, and transgender people are not" - December 28, 2008 at 12:50 AM
very very interesting food for thought!
i like the diversities of humans on planet earth
including the diversities of opinions,that is why its public knowledge that i listen to what nicky and also anyone who has different views to the "norm"!
if there werent THE strict classifications of people of planet earth,being divided into just two sexes and not three sexes or more sexes
then i can imagine us people leading healthier lives psychologically!
may i say that these topics are extremely important to discuss,and as much as i value nickys (controversial at times) points of view....i must agree with queers united on the point of ....we must open our minds to all possibilities of situations!
i think PEOPLE being born the way they are,behave and dress and think..is natural
and science,in general(not always) has confused many a person by restricting anyone feeling comfortable being somewhere in between the sexes.
i have youtube videos(peaceandparty,theinbeatweeners,masterpeaces) that are slowly being erased due to the sensitivities of these sorts of themes
i applaud the fact that this site is around!
yet,i am not sure whether there is enough respect around to realise that we are all in the basic stages of understanding life on earth,and no one should be blaming another for being narrow minded or controversial in their opinions....
nick,you have made me aware of this site-thank you-
we are all one but we are not the same
all for one and one for all
peace be with you all always
happy new year in advance!

Very interesting. Yes the basic body plan is female. Why else would males have nipples for that matter?
They also have knowledge that hormones produced by mom can have dramatic effects on development. So maybe that's what causes us to be gay? Who knows. - December 29, 2008 at 9:19 PM

You knew I would see this didn't you E, well this subject is so true because it gave me my gift to be both :) I wouldn't trade my life with anyone no matter the cost.

Insect predation sheds light on food web recovery after the dinosaur extinction
The recovery of biodiversity after the end-Cretaceous mass extinction was much more chaotic than previously thought, according to paleontologists. New fossil evidence shows that at certain times and places, plant and insect diversity were severely out of balance, not linked as they are today.
The extinction took place 65.5 million years ago. Labeled the K-T extinction, it marks the beginning of the Cenozoic Era and the Paleocene Epoch.
"The K-T caused major extinction among North American plants and insects. The Western Interior U.S. was a dead zone for plants and plant-insect food webs," said Dr. Peter Wilf, assistant professor of geosciences and the David and Lucile Packard Fellow. "We know that right after the extinction, for 800,000 years, there was very low insect predation and plant diversity. We know that 9 million years afterwards, there was renewed diversity in both plants and insects. What happened in the 8 million years in between?
"In modern forests, insect diversity tracks plant populations. If there are few plants, there are few insects, and that is what we expected to see and mostly found throughout the 10-million-year Paleocene. However, we looked extremely hard to test this conventional wisdom and found some shocking exceptions that have given us new ideas about how food webs recover from mass extinction," he added.
The researchers include Wilf; Conrad C. Labandeira, curator, fossil arthropods, the Smithsonian Institution; and Kirk R. Johnson, vice president for research and collections, and Beth Ellis, paleobotany researcher, Department of Earth Sciences, Denver Museum of Nature and Science. They reported their findings in today's (Aug. 25) issue of Science.
The researchers analyzed insect-feeding damage on 14,999 fossil leaves from flowering plants found at 14 sites, 4 from latest Cretaceous, 9 from early and late Paleocene and 1 from early Eocene rocks in Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and North Dakota. Insects eat leaves in many different ways, including chewing, mining, galling, and piercing and sucking; their diverse feeding marks preserve well in the rock record, often when insect body fossils are absent, and give researchers a proxy for both plant and insect diversity from the same fossils.
The majority of the samples followed expectations: the Cretaceous sites were rich in plants and insect-feeding diversity, and the latest Paleocene and Eocene sites showed signs of recovery. Through most of the intervening Paleocene, most floras have low richness of plants and insect damage. Typical numbers of species of plants in the Paleocene range between 15 and 20 at the sites, with many of the same species found throughout the Paleocene. Insect predation was low as well.
In sharp contrast, the team also found two unusual early Paleocene sites. The first, a previously identified site in the Denver basin, in the town of Castle Rock, showed great plant diversity, especially when compared with the other Paleocene floras.
The researchers found nearly 200 different species with thick leaves and drip tips, indicating a tropical rainforest completely unlike the other Paleocene floras. This site was on the eastern slope of the Paleocene Front Range, and Johnson and Ellis' work, as well as recent paleoclimate modeling simulations, has suggested that the local geography allowed high rainfall. While this site shows many different plant species 1.7 million years after the K-T extinction, predation by insects, as seen in preserved mines and galls on the fossil leaves unexpectedly was as low as in other Paleocene sites.
The second site, known as Mexican Hat, in southeastern Montana was even more intriguing.
"We looked at more than 2,000 specimens at Mexican Hat and found the usual 16 species of plants," said Wilf. "But the insect mines were unlike anywhere else in North America."
The researchers found heavy and diverse insect damage; all abundant species were mined, and the four major species each showed more than one kind of mining.
"The mines show great abundance and taxonomic breadth," said Wilf. "There are fly, wasp and moth mines on the sycamores. We have not seen this kind of saturation of a flora with insect feeding anywhere else in North America, even in the Cretaceous before the extinction."
What made this happen at Mexican Hat? The researchers do not know because to date, it is the only example of high insect-feeding diversity on a Paleocene flora. The heavy insect population did not apparently spread from Mexican Hat and perpetuate through time because the same plants at younger sites do not have the feeding associations seen at Mexican Hat.
Wilf suggests that the K-T extinction destroyed the ecological links in the food web. Plants and insects were killed outright, and herbivorous insects took a further hit when the plants they were specialized to eat disappeared. Surviving insects faced the choice of shifting their food resource or dying. Many died, but in most places a few survived, and from these, some evolved to feed on new host plants.
As the ecosystem rebuilt new links from its shattered state, the empty ecological space was open to opportunism, and in a few places the food chain became unbalanced and unstable. At Castle Rock, plants flourished in the warm wet climate and without insect predatory pressure -- possibly because their rainforest-type leaves were already thick, tough, and hard to eat -- plant species proliferated and thrived for a short time. At Mexican Hat, 16 species of mostly thin-leaved, poorly defended, typical Paleocene plants temporarily became the hosts to diverse swarms of insects that then disappeared.
This decoupling of producer and consumer diversity after mass extinction is a new pattern for the fossil record that researchers can now test for its generality.
"Temporally and geographically isolated occurrences of severely unbalanced food webs may be a widespread feature of ecological recovery from mass extinction, resulting from instability, incumbency and opportunism in drastically simplified ecological landscapes," say the authors.

Maybe you got a holiday tech upgrade with a new phone or laptop. But what you do with old devices matters.
A United Nations report in 2017 sounded the alarm on the waste associated with technology, with 45 million tons of e-waste tossed in 2016 — and only about 20% was recycled.
If all the valuable metals were collected from those electronics, it would be worth $55 billion.
"This problem is burgeoning, it's getting bigger and bigger," says Steven Dege with TerraCycle, a company that specializes in hard-to-recycle materials. "And as our population grows, it's continuing to get bigger and bigger, and if we don't tackle it or start to develop means or ways to recycle these items, it's going to become a massive, massive issue later on."
Dege recommends you find a local electronics recycle location.
Consumer Reports says you can also donate your old device to a charity or nonprofit.
Dell and Goodwill have a partnership that allows you to drop off your old technology at some Goodwill locations.
Apple and Amazon may give you a credit or gift card for old electronics.
Sprint buys phones from any carrier.
Best Buy also has a number of recycling options.
But before you do any of that, make sure you protect your data first.
"The No. 1 thing that everybody should do is wipe your information off the phone, off your computers, laptops, things of that nature," Dege says. "You don't want that information to get anywhere, to go anywhere, other than yourself."
Your best bet on making sure you properly wipe a device is finding a YouTube instructional video specific to that brand and model.

text: | Home | Methods | History | Development of Combichem | Links | Contact | CombiChemCombinatorial chemistry is an innovative method of synthesizing many different substances quickly and at the same time. Combinatorial chemistry contrasts with the time-consuming and labor intensive methods of traditional chemistry where compounds are synthesized individually, one at a time. While combinatorial chemistry is primarily used by organic chemists who are seeking new drugs, chemists are also now applying combinatorial chemistry to other fields such as semiconductors, superconductors, catalysts and polymers. CombiChem is used to synthesize large number of chemical compounds by combining sets of building blocks. Each newly synthesized compound's composition is slightly different from the previous one. A traditional chemist can synthesize 100-200 compounds per year. A combinatorial robotic system can produce in a year thousands or millions compounds which can be tested for potential drug candidates in a high-throughput screening process. Over the last few years, the combinatorial chemistry has emerged as an exciting new paradigm for the drug discovery. In a very short time the topic has become the focus of considerable scientific interest and research efforts. Exclusive Chemistry Ltd offers custom synthesis services to clients in the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnical, agricultural, government and academic sectors. Also on company website there is online chemical catalog than you can browse by CAS numbers. | Solution Phase Synthesis | Solid Phase Synthesis | High Throughput Screening | |

Farewell to the notification area
Matthew Paul Thomas
on 21 April 2010
Tags: Design
Ubuntu is phasing out the notification area (a.k.a. "system tray"), because of its ineffectiveness at notifying people of things, and its inconsistent behavior. Many programs that previously used the notification area should use other notification mechanisms instead. Some notification area items will be replaced by various system status menus we're introducing. For a few programs, it will be appropriate to use custom status menus.
Why we're doing this
This story begins in 1990, when Microsoft released Windows 3.0 without an easy way to see what time it was.
There was a Clock application in Windows, and it could float on top of all other windows, but setting that option wasn't obvious. And when the Clock was minimized, its icon showed the current time, but usually that icon was covered by the Program Manager window and any other maximized windows.
Microsoft fixed this during the design of Windows 95 by embedding a clock in the new taskbar. They also realized that people wanted a quick way of changing the system volume, so they placed a speaker control next to the clock. Then for people using notebook computers, they added a battery meter and PCMCIA status as well.
Together, these elements were controlled by a program called systray.exe
. But at some point, Microsoft decided to make this mechanism generic, so that any application could use it. And so was born something called the notification area.
Eventually geeks discovered the systray.exe
name and started calling the notification area the "system tray". Microsoft has been struggling for 15 years now to get people to call it the "notification area" instead, and largely failing.
In the first versions of Gnome, there was no notification area (though, infamously, there were five separate clocks). Building on a "status dock" in Gnome 1.4, Gnome 2.0 introduced the status notification area, again with strict instructions to use it only for notifications — only to find that people kept calling it the "system tray" here too.
I think there are two basic reasons people keep using this name. The first is that the notification area has always been used for things that aren't notifications. The first two items in the Windows implementation, clock and volume, were never "notifications" in any meaningful sense. And in Gnome there's a technical distinction between "panel applets" (such as the clock and volume) and the notification area itself, but visually, that distinction barely exists.
The second reason is that the notification area isn't actually good at delivering notifications. A tiny square icon, taking up less than 0.1 percent of a typical display, can communicate extremely simple, ignorable things — like "you have new messages" or "your battery is charging". But any information more abstract than that, such as "software updates are available for this computer", is a non-starter. This became clear when Windows 2000 introduced notification balloons that point at particular icons, explaining what they mean. These balloons have their own problems: in particular, they float on top of every other window regardless of whether you need to pay attention to them right now. (For that reason, we replaced Gnome's equivalent notification balloons with Notify OSD bubbles that you can click straight through if you want to.)
The situation is made worse by developers who feel the urge to add a notification area icon for their application just because they can. In Ubuntu, many programs — Rhythmbox, Banshee, VLC, Pino, and Pidgin, to name just five — put items in the notification area that aren't notifications at all.
Often this is a substitute for minimizing the window, to avoid cluttering the taskbar. For example VLC's notification area has a menu with a "Hide VLC media player in taskbar" item, and the AllTray utility exists for people who want "to have a program always running, but easy to put out of the way". That may make perfect sense to the developers of those individual applications. But looking at the operating system as a whole, it's crazy. No competent designer, sitting down to design an operating system from scratch, would say to themselves "I know, let's have two completely inconsistent ways to hide windows".
Microsoft, to their credit, have tried to rein in this kind of misuse of the notification area in Windows. But combined with their devotion to backward compatibility, that has caused its own problems. Windows XP hid persistent notification area items by default, and therefore also had a button for revealing them just in case you needed to access them. And in Windows Vista and 7, there is an entire dialog devoted to toggling which notification area icons should be hidden. It's the OS equivalent of a car dealer including, with every car, a free roll of masking tape so you can cover up unwanted warning lights on the dashboard.
Meanwhile, there's another problem with the notification area: inconsistent behavior. On Windows, in theory, a left single-click is supposed to "display whatever users most likely want to see", a right-click is supposed to display a context menu, and a left double-click is supposed to either "Perform the default command on the context menu" or "perform the same action as a left single-click". In practice, icons have a huge variety of behaviors, with the only common element being a context menu on right-click — to the point where some users have forgotten that they could ever left-click on the icons.
In Gnome, the same kind of hyper-flexibility is baked into the System Tray Protocol: items embedded in the notification area can do pretty much anything they like. So we've inherited the same problem as Windows: some items open a menu on left click, some open a menu on right click, some do both, some open a window, and at least one reliably disappears when you click it. It's hopelessly inconsistent — and as long as we continue with the current protocol, it always will be inconsistent.
We can't go on like this.
Nuke the entire site from orbit — it's the only way to be sure
We took our first small step towards getting rid of the notification area in Ubuntu 9.04, when we stopped trying to use it to notify people of software upates, and instead just opened the updates window. Our reasoning was that a tiny icon couldn't possibly do a good job of conveying something bureaucratic like the availability of new versions of software. (We still have work to do to simplify and streamline the presentation of updates, and we'd be glad to have help with that.)
In Ubuntu 9.10, we introduced the messaging menu, which replaced the various notification area items from messaging applications (Empathy, Evolution, Gwibber, and so on). We also introduced the session menu, which replaced both the user account switching menu (fast-user-switch-applet
) and the big red button that had previously opened the shutdown dialog.
In Ubuntu 10.04, we've introduced the sound menu, which replaces the Gnome volume applet; and the "me" menu, which replaces the items for setting your status in various instant messaging programs.
In Ubuntu 10.10, we plan to introduce a power menu, which replaces the Gnome Power Manager applet; a network menu, which replaces the Network Manager applet (nm-applet
); and a clock menu, or time and date menu, that replaces the Gnome clock applet. We'll also be extending the sound menu, to replace the notification area items for music players. We will be posting more about these and other menus, and asking for feedback on our designs, in the coming weeks.
The pattern here is that everything is becoming a menu. And further, everything is becoming a single set of menus. You can see glimmerings of this in Ubuntu 10.04: for example, if you click on the messaging menu by mistake instead of the sound menu, you can just slide straight over to the sound menu without having to click again. (Currently, this is implemented using two panel applets, indicator-applet
and indicator-applet-session
. We'll be consolidating this in future Ubuntu versions.)
Our roadmap is that in Ubuntu 11.04, one year from now, there will be no notification area. And in Ubuntu Netbook Edition, we'll remove it even earlier, in 10.10. So if you develop an application that uses the notification area, and you want the millions of Ubuntu users to be able to use it, now is the time to change it.
What applications should do instead
Many programs should not have an item in the panel at all. Where a notification area icon was being used mainly as a substitute for minimizing, the window should just minimize instead. We will be working on ways for long-running applications to be less obtrusive when their windows are minimized.
Some applications should integrate into one of the menus that aggregate a particular category of items. An e-mail, instant messaging, feed reading, or similar applications should integrate into the messaging menu. An instant messaging client should respond to status changes in the "me" menu. And a music player should integrate into the sound menu. We'll provide tutorials and example code for each of these things, as we finalize designs for each menu.
In a few cases, it makes sense for an application to use its own custom status menu. Some applications do this already in Ubuntu 10.04, and we'll be extending this "application indicator" mechanism in Ubuntu 10.10. The application indicator protocol uses D-Bus, which means that the menu a program publishes looks native whether it's running in Gnome (appearing in the Gnome panel) or in KDE (in the KDE system tray). Once the API stabilizes in a year or two, we'll propose it for inclusion in those environments.
We welcome your feedback on these plans, either on this post directly, or on the Ayatana mailing list.
Our colleagues in Canonical's desktop experience team have worked extremely hard over the past year in implementing these menus and APIs, and we are grateful to them. This is not revolutionary work, but it is important. When we're done, we will have fixed an annoyance that has existed since years before Ubuntu began.

Here Piggy, Piggy: Thoughts About the Swine Flu
- 5/7/2009
- Categorized in: Specific Health Problems
You'd have to be an Ostrich not to know about the hubbub going around about the Swine Flu. I hope by the end of this article to set things in a better prospective than the media seem to be presenting.
First of all, it is ludicrous to call it a pandemic when fewer than 100 people across the entire United States have contracted it. According to the World Malaria Report 2005, up to 500 million people a year catch malaria in more than 100 countries, and a million die from it. In Africa, where 80 percent of malaria deaths take place, it kills a child every 30 seconds. This should put this ridiculous over-reaction into a respective balance.
Secondly one would have to ask—who benefits from creating this frenzy? Hummm, let's see—who is out there answering the call; the Pharmaceutical industry urging people to get a Tamiflu shot. Let's look into the effectiveness of Tamiflu or Relenza. Canada's top lab in Winnipeg tested 225- A/H1N1 influenza "isolates" for Tamiflu resistance, and all of them were resistant to the drug because of the virus's capacity to mutate. Tests in British Columbia also showed the A/H1N1 flu was resistant to Tamiflu. Tests in the U.S. have also come to similar conclusions. So, if it doesn't work—why are they pushing it?
The public demands that something be done about this Booga Booga Bug! It just may wipe out half of America! And if that is what you think—you've already lowered your immune response and made yourself susceptible to whatever microbe that wants to invade. Your thoughts can make you sick! This is a fact discovered by Dr. Bruce Lipton, a professor of Cellular Biology and author of the book, "The Biology of Belief."
Right now labs are working feverishly to discover a new drug to ward off the swine flu. And when they complete it—how will it be tested for adverse effects? Since WHO wants it in the hand of those administering it ASAP, we will be the "guinea pigs" (pun intended). I remember when the last scare of swine flu was perpetrated.
The swine flu vaccine was administered to the American public even though there had never been a case of swine flu identified in a human. Farmers refused to use the vaccine because it killed too many animals. Within a few months of use in humans this vaccine caused many cases of serious nerve injury (Guillan Barre syndrome). The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered had been followed by an identical rise in the incidence of autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma) seen in children. While there is a genetic transmission of some of these diseases many are probably due to the injury from foreign protein particles, mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and other toxic agents injected in vaccines.
Since the "bug" mutates quite quickly, there is no guarantee that the vaccine they administer will actually be affective. All vaccinations lower immune response—it is how it works. The vaccine enters the blood stream and the immune system is supposed to identify it as "non-self" and set up markers. These markers look for similar identities and attack them. Since viruses actually grab a piece of our DNA they are difficult for the immune system to identify. Pretty soon the immune system is attacking itself (autoimmune) because the marker says it is "non-self".
So, what is effective? Well, simple sanitary procedures such as washing your hands in mild soap and water after being out in the public works. Do not use anti-bacterial soaps as they strip the skin of its normal good bacteria and pH. The skin is a protective barrier and is part of the immune system. When we compromise it with harsh chemical soaps, we strip away its natural ability to protect us from invading organisms. Also, these harsh soaps dry the skin and those cracks are a direct route to the blood stream. This allows germs easy access to a new home.
Even more important is to keep your immune system up to par. Get the proper rest you need, find healthful ways of dealing with stress, drink lots of good water to flush out toxins, eat healthy foods, and take supplements to assist your immune response. Nature's Sunshine has a plethora of these!
This thing about not touching other people and instilling fear in everyone: "This flu is no worse than any seasonal flu! " Los Angeles County's chief health officer said on Friday that A/H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu, does not appear to be any more deadly than regular seasonal influenza. So, don't buy into the pharmaceutical industry's scare into making you frantic to get a vaccine. Simply eat right, think right and you will be all right!
You can be doubly sure of having your immune system on alert by taking Silver Shield, a patented silver from Nature's Sunshine Products that has shown some amazing reversal in such diseases as Malaria. In a hospital in Ghana, Silver Shield is reversing the Malaria virus in less than 5 days! Dr. Pederson who developed the nano silver process creating our Silver Shield product recommends that adults take two teaspoons of Silver Shield twice daily to protect against invading organisms. Our Silver works in 3 ways. I have a short class on Silver posted on my website if you're interested in learning more.
Silver Shield gel is an easy to use, odorless defense that when applied to hands and nose can protect for up to 4 hours against viruses, bacteria and other potentially harmful organisms. If you work in an area that has a common phone, keyboard, mouse or visit a library using these—you should first wash your hands with mild soap and water and then apply the Silver gel. Even if you wash again, your hands are protected for up to 4 hours. You can then repeat for another 4 hours of protection. This way you can feel confident in shaking hands or touching others.

Happily married for well over a quarter-century, I've (more or less) successfully taught elementary and high school art for a similiar length of time. I've also spent many enjoyable hours in the front of a local community college classroom. Recently I have retired from teaching in favor of writing web pages, traveling, and doing things I've never done before.
The articles you've read at HumanitiesWeb are from a ArtyFacts, a quality newsletter that has been the work of more than five years. You can purchase the entire collection on a fully searchable CD.
For most of my professional life I've run a portrait business out of my home, specializing in sports portraits done in pencil and colored pencil. Aside from a few painted portraits, painting has always been more of a hobby than a source of income which makes me an amateur in every sense except my educational background in the area. You will find examples of my work at http://www.jimlaneart.com/. I welcome your constructive comments regarding this limited peek at my work. Needless to say, I would also welcome any interest in purchasing any of the works seen here or in my doing custom work of any portrait subject in any medium seen here.

We have covered many do it yourself PCBs before, but this video guide adds an easy way to sink heat from high power devices, which we think you might find handy.
It is a very simple process that CNLohr uses to keep his small RGB LED projects from overheating. It starts by using a readily available silicone thermal sheet as the substrate by applying it to copper foil. He then applies a toner-transfer circuit pattern to the copper by running the pair through a modified laminator a few times. He makes note that you have to apply the plastic backing side of the silicone sheet to the copper foil to prevent the laminator from chewing it up.
After the typical ferric chloride etching process is complete, he then uses 220 grit sandpaper to remove the toner pattern. Often steel wool is used, but because of the sensitive nature of the silicone, sandpaper works better to avoid peeling up traces.
We have featured CNLohr before, as he does some top-notch tutorials in his workshop — which makes for both a fascinating and distracting backdrop for the videos. This one is a bit long (~20 minutes), but is very thorough and goes through the entire process from start to finish. Check it out after the break.

The Scizz
-As I return to my home from a hearty long weekend of heavy alcohol and food consumption, a few thoughts on the sports world have been zipping through my head. First of all, that lovely picture above is of Mr. Darcy Regier and Mr. Ted Black starting the long awaited renovations on HSBC arena, and more specifically their new high-end dressing room facilities. Word has it they will be one of the best in the NHL, comparable to what Mark Cuban has for his players on the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Which means if Cuban gave his players 26" flat screens with a brand new PS3 and loaded ipod, you better believe Buffalo players will be getting some sick 7" portable dvd players with a Sega Dreamcast and disc-man (Goo Goo Dolls "Best of" not included). All kidding aside, it is pretty cool to see the effort these guys are putting forth in Buffalo's new PR department. Sure beats the hell out of "Buffalo: For Real". But more on that later.
-On Monday, the NY Times had a piece on revisiting Super Bowl 25. In all honesty, I got five paragraphs in, burst into tears and slammed my head against the wall repeatedly. I refuse to keep torturing myself over that shit. So instead I will tell you that I once saw Otis Anderson eating dinner at a Hooters in Jacksonville before a Jaguars - Giants Monday night game. My friend (a Giants fan) saw his Super Bowl ring glistening in the sunlight. I told him that if I got drunk enough I was going to confront him and let him know that he was the worst Super Bowl MVP of all time. Instead I did shots with a Hooters girl with stretch marks and took a boat to the stadium. Yay me.
-I'm not going to go too far into Wall Street Icon Jeffrey Gundlach's interest in purchasing the Buffalo Bills. Sure it is exciting, but until Ralph leaves this world all we can do is sit back and wonder. Although the thought of a Gordon Gecko type running the Bills has me either extremely excited or terrified. Just pray he doesn't know Shia Lebouf.
-Looks like no CrapTastiCast this week folks. With the Apologist working, Yachtsman moving, and Megsie vacationing in Montauk it became quite difficult to make the recording happen. With some luck we will knock one out by next weekend and have it ready for you asap. So if you have just joined in on our lovely podcasting nightmare of ramblings, take this opportunity to go back and listen to some of the past episodes. Of course episode 7 is an epic mess, but episode 2 and 4 are also solid and you can hear us coming into our own.
-Which all reminds me that I have received confirmation from two of the other three member of the DGWU crew to go camping at Watkins Glen this August for their yearly NASCAR event. We will be joining Father of the Scizz and friends for what is sure to be a drunken nightmare. Live CrapTastiCast anyone???
-Finally, tomorrow night brings that gathering of Barrister, Apologist and myself for some baseball fun at Citi Field in Flushing, NY. DGWU fave R.A. Dickey leads the team against the fan-favorite of many local Buffalonians, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Is that true? I have no idea, somebody leave a comment and let me know. Anyways, If we can figure out how to do it, expect some live updates and amusing pictures. Definitely look for drunken tweets from @DGWUSports.
-I leave you with Wu-Tang member Raekwon and one of the tracks off his newest album Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang. Sick shit. This track, Masters of our Fate features Black Thought from The Roots and is already a "most-played" song on my ipod. RIP OL' DIRTY!
