Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman Action shots are a snap with the Sony Handycam® HDR-CX430V. Running for home Your eyes are peeled at the corner by the woods' edge. We're starting hour 3, near the end of your wife's first half-marathon, and you couldn't be prouder of all she's achieved along the way. Suddenly she appears, a few steps in front of the pack. You raise your Sony Handycam® HDR-CX430V, check the sidewalk in front of you, and run alongside her, aiming the camera at her as you cheer her on. The camera's Balanced Optical Steady-Shot™ feature keeps the shot smooth and even. Of all the day's shots, this one will be the keeper that shows all the emotion of the day. Attaching the optional Wi-Fi® adapter to the camcorder's multi-interface shoe, you connect to your smartphone and upload the shot to Facebook, so that all your friends can share in the triumph of the moment. All this before you get her in the car, headed for home. Another typical day for the 'CX430V. After all, its typical days consist of expertly documenting your exceptional days. With its Intelligent Auto mode seamlessly selecting from almost 180 different scene combinations to make the most of what you're shooting, how can you help but preserve the unique character of your special days? Even in low light, the 'CX430V shines, with the Sony G™ lens feeding the sensitive back-illuminated Exmor® R sensor. And the 30X optical zoom lens is perfect for getting up close to the action. The Sony Handycam® HDR-CX430V's optical assembly moves as a unit to control shakes and vibration. Sound to match the video Your friends might notice how realistic the sound is, even in the online clip. If they were sitting in your living room playing it back on an HD monitor in full 5.1-channel surround, they'd be even more impressed. The 'CX430V offers manual level control, external microphone in/headphone out stereo minijacks, and all of Sony's advanced sound system improvements like wind noise reduction and Closer Voice technology to make the audio presentation of your morning's captures every bit as engaging as the video. Where or when The 'CX430V has a built-in GPS receiver that will give you your current location on the LCD display, tag your location on your captured video, and set your camcorder's system clock based on your current time zone. A map index screen on the LCD gives you a handy way to browse your travel footage according to where you shot it. Memory for your memories Because this camcorder takes Memory Stick® media and SD cards, you can customize the amount of storage you have — with just a few cards you'll have hours upon hours of capacity waiting for when you need it. If you don't have any cards on hand, not to worry; this camcorder has 32GB of flash memory on-board, for up to 11 hours of HD video storage in LP mode. And the 'CX430V will also copy your memories to an external hard drive without the aid of a computer. For that, you'll need an optional USB adapter cable available from Sony (the VMC-UAM1 cable). Here's another trick: you can access media on that hard drive using the 'CX430V's handy playback controls, and display those files on your HDTV via an HDMI connection from the camcorder. The producer is built-in Don't feel like editing your footage? Highlight Playback mode will identify and compile scenes from your day of shooting and make a short, engaging movie complete with music and transitions. You can even select the scenes you want in your day's highlight reel.

Since I have been using my old Sony CCD-TRV52 8mm camcorder since 1997, I have to compare past features with the new Sony HDR-CX430V. In general, I like my new camcorder. However, there are a lot of features that I was used to having that are not available with the new model. There is no viewfinder to assist with shooting outdoors in bright sunlight. There is no remote control to allow for starting and stopping of the recording and/or playback functions from a distance, as all interface is done only from the camcorder itself. The high definition picture quality is excellent, and there are many improvements since 1997. But I really miss having remote control of the camcorder while mounted on a tripod or while playing back videos to my TV. The new camcorder appears to be much less durable in construction, and the lens cover moves easily aside if touched. The camcorder is a very good camcorder, the picture quality is excellent and the picture stability is excellent. Pros: Fantastic picture quality and small size. Cons: No remote control, lacks a simple cable for SD connection to DVD recorder or older TV that lacks HD connections, and the construction materials do not come close to the durability of the older model that I bought in 1997. It feels "flimsy" in comparison, and the lens shutter can easily be moved by an inquisitive child wanting to touch it. My older camcorder lens shutter would not slide aside even with hard pressure applied directly. Not so with my new HDR-CX430V model! Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony HDR-CX430V Written By KW, Colorado on Friday, November 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good Camera, Easy to learn and use. Love the stabilization feature. I have this camera for over 1 month and it already appears to be acting up??? Still trouble shooting? Pros: Great picture and video. Easy to use. Cons: Tempermental Crutchfield response on Monday, November 11, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Video Written By Buke9, Mt. Washington ,KY on Saturday, October 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Video on the camera is great. The sound is good . I took videos on a boat and when you turned the camera the sound is horrid . It needs better wind screens. I don't count that as a negative because most videos a taken will static. I love the usb plug in the handle for recharging. HDMI connection works great. Image stabilization and zoom is very good. Easy and handy to use. Would recommend to any home user. The best part of the deal is the Crutchfield Team. I needed the camera for a trip to New Orleans and a fishing trip. The first company couldn't the camera on time giving over a week. Crutchfield had free shipping and I needed faster, I paid for overnight shipping,vacationed saved! These guys worked with me to make it happen. I can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Crutchfield. Pros: Great Video. Crutchfield Cons: Sound needs a little help Was this review helpful? Yes No Great upgrade from our other Handycam Written By WeRmudfun, Southern NH on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 We make videos of our adventures to share them on YouTube and we had gotten to the point where we wanted to each have a camcorder on our adventures. This Sony Handycam HDR-CX430V has a lot of the same features as our HDR-CX260V, so right out of the box, we were familiar with some of it's use. Of course the HDR-CX430V has added features too; some manual settings, Cinematone, 24P, 5.1 recording mic and the multi interface shoe just to name a few. The other nice feature is the 32GB internal flash memory, not that I think we would ever need that much for our videos. This camcorder is small and compact enough to fit in the side cargo pocket of my hiking pants. It light weigh too and easy to use on the go. We hike mountains, climb down into caves, we have even found a geocache in the middle of a swamp and the Handycam is a great camcorder to keep up with us. The only thing I can think of that I would like to see is a wireless remote to operate the zoom, especially on a tripod. Of course I suppose we could invest in a better Tripod. lol Some of the downfalls of this Handycam, in our opinion, is the price. The slow motion feature is rather grainy and we have found that most editing software does a better job at that. The 350x digital zoom is serious overkill. The nice thing about that feature is it can be turned off. If you use it, the video will be very shaky and very grainy even when mount on a tripod. Pros: Great Quality, Small and compact, Balanced Optical Steady Shot Cons: Still have some concern about the plastic case, but the last one held up even with me falling on top of it a couple times.

Built-in Memory: In addition to memory cards, you can record movies and photos onto the camcorder's 32 GB built-in flash memory. Because a portion of the flash memory is used for system management, map, and/or application files, the actual usable media capacity is approximately 28.1 GB. The built-in memory can store over 11 hours of high-definition video (LP mode), or 2-1/2 hours of Full HD 1080p video (PS mode). 3.0" LCD Touch Screen: The 3.0" Clear Photo Plus LCD touch screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 230,000 pixel (960 x 240) LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp and detailed images for monitoring or playback. You can navigate through the menu system by touching the icons on the screen. The LCD also features an adjustable brightness and color level. You can also power on this camcorder by simply opening its LCD display. There is no separate viewfinder on this camcorder. Imaging Device: The HDR-CX430V features an advanced 1/3.91" (4.6mm) back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS imaging sensor with 5,430,000 gross pixels. The 2,230,000 effective video pixels provide excellent detail and clarity. The unique image processing system of Sony's BIONZ allows still image resolution equivalent to a maximum of 8.9 megapixels (3984 x 2240). Sony G Lens: The camcorder features a professional-quality, wide angle Sony G lens. Sony G lenses deliver superior optical performance with brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, detailed images. In both the Photo and Video modes, the 26.8mm focal length provides exceptional wide-angle shooting. Step Down Ring: The camcorder's lens has a filter diameter of 46mm. It comes with a Step Down Ring lets you attach optical filters with a diameter of 37mm. Zoom: The camcorder's maximum optical zoom depends upon the SteadyShot setting. With the setting at Active, the optical zoom is 30x. If SteadyShot is set to Active the maximum optical zoom is 55x (Extended Zoom). Combined with the digital zoom, the total zoom capability is 350x. Because the digital zoom processes the image digitally, the picture quality deteriorates the more you zoom in. The power zoom lever can be moved slightly for a slow zoom, or moved further for a faster zoom. Global Positioning System: The CX430V is equipped with a built-in GPS which receives location data from any of the 24 GPS satellites located above the earth and records it onto your movies and photos. You can record location information on movies or photos, and use the data to display a map of your current location. The Map View function lets you play movies and photos by searching for them on a map. The camcorder can use the GPS data to automatically set the clock and the time zone. Balanced Optical SteadyShot: Standard SteadyShot compensates for camera shake by shifting the lens. On the CX430V, Balanced Optical SteadyShot moves the entire optical block at once, which maintains the integrity of the optical path, and improves shake reduction by 13x. You can choose from Standard and Active modes. Multi-Interface Shoe: The top-mounted Multi-Interface Shoe lets you quickly and easily attach a wide assortment of accessories, including video lights and microphones. With the optional ADP-WL1M1 Wi-Fi Adapter, you can turn your smartphone or tablet into a remote control for the camcorder, or instantly share your videos and photos online using your smartphone or tablet. Face Detection: The camcorder's Face Detection technology recognizes faces and optimizes the camera settings for videos and still photos. Videos and photos recorded using Face Detection are indexed according to the faces detected in each scene. This allows you to search for what you want by selecting the faces displayed in the index. Focus Modes: The Sony Handycam HDR-CX430V features Auto Focus and Manual Focus modes. When using Auto Focus, you can choose to focus on a subject in the center of the screen. For more difficult focusing situations, you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder.

Guide Frame: The Guide Frame displays a frame and grid around your subject and allows you to check the horizontal and vertical position. Data Code Function: The camcorder automatically records time codes along with the images you shoot, so you can display the date and time during playback or editing. You can also display the camera settings when recording movies or photos. Protect: You can protect movies and photos to avoid deleting them by mistake. Power On By LCD: You can set the camcorder to automatically power on when you open the LCD, and turn off when you close the LCD.

A Standard Definition recording mode is also available. You can choose from the following recording modes: Image Quality Bit Rate Pixels Aspect Ratio High Definition PS 28 Mbps 1920 x 1080/60p 16:9 FX 24 Mbps 1920 x 1080/60i or 1920 x 1080/24p 16:9 FH 17 Mbps 1920 x 1080/60i or 1920 x 1080/24p 16:9 HQ 9 Mbps 1440 x 1080/60i 16:9 LP 5 Mbps 1440 x 1080/60i 16:9 Standard Definition HQ 9 Mbps 720 x 480 16:9, 4:3 MP4 MP4 1280 x 720/30p 16:9 5.1-ch Surround Mic: The CX430V has a built-in 5.1-channel surround microphone to record sounds coming from all directions. Closer Voice: When the Closer Voice function is turned on, the camcorder detects faces and records the voices clearly. This function cannot be activated when using an optional external mic.

The image size is fixed depending upon the aspect ratio of the movie: 1920 x 1080, 640 x 360, or 640 x 480. The recording date and time of the captured photos is the same as the recording date and time of the movie. If there is no data code on the movie, the recording date and time will be the date/time you captured the photo from the video. Golf Shot: You can record a sequence of up to 22 still photos which can be viewed or printed individually, or as a composite sequence shot. This feature is perfect for analyzing a person's golf swing, tennis serve, or other fast action. Self Timer: This feature allows you to record a still image about 10 seconds after the "Photo" button is depressed. Slide Show: You can automatically play back images stored on the memory card in a slide-show fashion. Battery Information Battery: This unit comes with an NP-FV50 InfoLithium battery (6.8 Volts, 1030 mAh).

This water mortar is made from PVC using a variation on the "drill press lathe" technique from the book "Eccentric Cubicle." The finished product launches over a quart of water per shot!
Also see the followup instructable, with more design ideas...
Step 1: Parts
- 30" of 1 1/2" schedule 40 PVC
- 24" of 2" schedule 40 PVC
- End caps for 2" PVC
- Plumber's silicone lubricant
- 2 size 224 Buna-N O-rings
- 6 inches of 1"x3" oak
- 2 chunks of 2"x4" for pillow blocks
- 6" of 1/4"x20 threaded rod
- 4" long 1/4"x20 carriage bolt
- 1 1/2" long 1/4"x20 bolt
- 1/4"x20 nuts
Here are the tools you need:
- drill, twist bits, spade bits
- 1 3/4" hole saw (the kind that cuts out a plug)
- 2 bearings with shoulder bushings (from old inline skate)
- 2 clamps, mine were 8"
- gouge
- dial caliper
You can get O-rings from Superior Seals, they have a great selection of sizes and materials.
It's a bad habit none-the-less.
No he was putting his helmet on.
I used to build slurp guns to pull ghost crabs ouf of the sand at the beack to fish with. Its basiclly the same prinicple only in reverse. Instead of O rings, we built them with adjustable pressure plugs. Basicly its two metal washers with a rubber grommet in the middle. there is a hole in the middle with bolt through it with a wing nut attached. As you tighten the wing nut the rubber gets squeezed and it makes it bigger, which makes the seal tighter.
Not my plans but I googled it and here is a similar thing someone else built using one of these pressure plugs.
Tons of fun! Thanks.
Use a nozzle so the water doesn't just run and waste water.

Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne Named by The Princeton Review as One of the Best Colleges in the Northeast SYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … For the fourth consecutive year, Le Moyne College has been named by The Princeton Review as one of the best colleges and universities in the Northeast. The College is profiled in the 2013 "Best in the Northeast" section on The Princeton Review's website, and is also included in the book, The Best Northeastern Colleges: 2013 Edition. Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's senior vice president and publisher, said, "We're pleased to recommend Le Moyne College to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree. We chose it and the other terrific institutions we name as 'regional best' colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs. From several hundred schools in each region, we winnowed our list based on institutional data we collected directly from the schools, our visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of our staff, plus college counselors and advisors whose recommendations we invite." Le Moyne is one of 222 Northeast institutions profiled in the 2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region. The survey asks students to rate their own schools on several issues – from the accessibility of their professors to quality of the campus food – and answer questions about themselves, fellow students, and campus life. Le Moyne is an independent, Jesuit institution offering a comprehensive program of liberal arts, sciences, pre-professional studies and graduate programs in education, business administration, nursing and physician assistant studies. Founded in 1946, Le Moyne's 2,300 full-time undergraduates choose from 40 programs including majors in more than 30 areas of study which emphasize the search for meaning and value in the intellectual life.

Premenstrual swelling and tenderness of both breasts occurs during the second half of the menstrual cycle.
Premenstrual tenderness and swelling of the breasts; Breast tenderness - premenstrual; Breast swelling - premenstrual
Symptoms of premenstrual breast tenderness may range from mild to severe. Symptoms typically peak just before each menstrual period and improve immediately after or during the menstrual period.
Breast tissue may have dense, rough, "cobblestone" feel to the fingers -- usually more marked in the outer areas. There may also be an intermittent or persistent sense of breast fullness with dull, heavy pain, and tenderness.
During the menstrual cycle, estrogen production increases and peaks just prior to midcycle. This causes enlargement of the breast ducts. Premenstrually, progesterone peaks near the 21st day (in a 28-day cycle) and causes growth of the breast lobules (milk glands).
Premenstrual swelling and tenderness of the breasts is commonly associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and fibrocystic breast disease (benign breast changes). Fibrocystic breast changes are not completely understood, but are believed to be hormone related since the condition usually gets better with menopause.
Premenstrual breast tenderness and swelling probably occur to some degree in nearly all women. Symptoms severe enough to cause concern or limit function may occur in many women during their childbearing years. The rate may be lower in women taking birth control pills. Risk factors may include family history, a high-fat diet, and too much caffeine.
Self-care tips include:
You should perform a breast self-examination every month.
A well-fitting bra should be worn day and night to provide good breast support.
The effectiveness of vitamin E, vitamin B6, and herbal preparations such as evening primrose oil are somewhat controversial and should be discussed with your health care provider.
Birth control pills may be prescribed to decrease symptoms.
Diuretics (water pills) taken in the premenstrual phase may reduce breast swelling and tenderness.
A prescription medicine called Depo-Provera is available for those who experience premenstrual breast swelling and tenderness. This drug relieves symptoms by eliminating menstrual periods.
Danazol, a synthetic androgen (male hormone), may be used in severe cases when the potential benefit is thought to outweigh the possible bad side effects. If Danazol does not work for you, bromocriptine or tamoxifen may be prescribed.
Call your health care provider if:
The medical history will be obtained and a physical examination performed. Medical history questions documenting premenstrual breast tenderness may include:
Your health care provider will check for breast lumps, and note the qualities of the lump (firm or soft, smooth or bumpy, and so on).
Diagnostic tests:
A mammogram or breast ultrasound may be performed to evaluate any abnormalities found in a breast exam. If a lump is found that is not clearly benign, a breast biopsy may be necessary.

After their struggles at Silverstone, Kamui Kobayashi and Marcus Ericsson know they need maximum mileage over the weekend.
Kamui Kobayashi: "The last two races before the summer break are Germany and Hungary, both tracks I like but in particular Hockenheim - I have been testing and racing at this track so many times throughout my carrier since I came to Europe. So, in a way, this is one of my home tracks!
"The German Grand Prix, whether it's at Hockenheim or Nurburgring always has fantastic support from the fans - it's like Silverstone and the atmosphere, especially on Sunday at Hockenheim, is amazing!
"For us this will be another race where we aim to fight back against our nearest rivals. We did not see the full performance of the cars in Silverstone for various reasons, particularly for me as I had issues with the car on both Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday I lost a chunk of downforce when I had to go off-track to avoid the shunt on lap one - that cost me so much laptime. So, I did not have a proper drive throughout the whole weekend! But I'm determined to make sure that all the problems are now gone and I'm ready to fight back in Germany and Hungary."
Marcus Ericsson: "Germany is one of the races I've been really looking forward to. I know the track well as I've raced there in GP2 and I think it'll be a great challenge in a 2014 F1 car - there's a good mix of really quick bits and some slower corners where you can overtake, and the noise the German fans make all weekend is amazing! Actually, it's one of the races that a lot of Swedish fans make it to, so seeing my country's flags in the crowd - that'll make it even more special.
"Inside the car I think we know it's going to be another challenging weekend for us in terms of the pure pace, but the team learnt a lot from the two day test we did in Silverstone after the British GP and we'll be looking to put that into practice on track. The key thing for me is to make sure we have maximum mileage all weekend, especially on Sunday when we need to be there at the end of the race. We've seen this year that the races are very unpredictable and for us that can create opportunities, but if we're not on track when the chequered flag falls we can't take advantage of whatever's happening around us, so that's the main goal."

I got to try the pipe wrench method for the heck of it. Very cool.
I weld hunks of rod to my cold chisels (chisels are cheap, fingers not, and you can bash MUCH harder with better control!) as handles.
There would be no obstacle to using those on a water-filled drum.
Make hole, make fire in drum, no problem.

Oil Drum Cutting
I agree with the method of filling the drum with water to totally eliminate the vapor flash area...
Many years ago I cut up a 550 gallon gasoline storage tank that had been emptied dry and out of use for about 10 years.
When you fill it completely full of water, you no longer have a vapor area, which is the issue.. and the weight of the water is certainly going to keep the tank immobile, even if there was a flashable vapor in the small area remaining.
Not wanting to even take that chance, I completely filled the tank to the top, first if see if there was any sheen at all on the water from hydro carbons, let it sit for a few days, then flushed a little more water through the top area, and then dropped the water level a very small amount at the top of the tank, next to the open fittings, and made the first cuts to open it up.. Through out the cutting process, I kept as much water as possible in it, even after it was significantly opened up.
With the tank tilted off level a small amount, the vapor area, even when the water level is dropped a bit can still be a very small area.Hobby Welder for about 32 years

im not the brightest bulb in the kitchen but last one i cut i hot rodded three holes in bottom. was going to be used as trash burn barrel. the screw tops were removed. so if something caught fire and needed to escape there was plenty of air holes for it to do that. the barrel contained 15-40 rotella. i then hot rodded the top off and let residual just burn out. i will NOT cut kerosine and other stuff like that tho

55-gallon drum purging
One of my "hats" while in the Marine Corps was as the "Gas Free Engineer" for our F/A-18 Hornet Squadron (Jet Aircraft). Part of my job was to ensure the fuel tanks were safe for maintenance work or storage (possibly welding). There is a range of conditions that will support a fuel vapor explosion in a sealed (semi-sealed) container If the conditions are outside that range (called the LEL and the UEL - Lower Explosive Limit and the Upper Explosive Limit) the fuel air mixture isn't right for an explosion. If the space has too much fuel (the mixture is "too rich" (High fuel to air ratio) it can't ignite/explode. Conversely if it is too "lean" (too mush air (oxygen) for the amount of fuel) again combustion (explosion) can't occur.
The conditions which explosion can occur depend on a lot of variable factors as have been touched on previously (vapor pressure, temperature, oxygen content, etc.) If the fuel air mixture is either below or above the "Explosive limits" an explosion can't occur. One of the problems with "hot working" a closed container is that while the UEL and LEL are set conditions, in actual practice those conditions can change (fairly rapidly in some instances). There are special (fairly expensive) instruments that can monitor a space and let you know what the atmospheric conditions are and whether the area (or container) is "safe" to work on, but those are for another discussion.
If a space is too big or can't be readily filled (or it is too expensive to fill) with water or an inert gas (Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Argon, Helium, etc.) sometimes air blowers can be used (say you have to weld inside a fuel tanker), special industrial ducted fans (you might have seen some at a road or sewer repair site (even sometimes at a fire) with large flexible air hoses (look something like 8" - 16" diameter vacuum cleaner hoses - bright yellow or orange in color) are used to blow outside air into the space (NEVER to draw out the vapors!) to lower the fuel vapor ratio (and to sometimes provide breathable air or cool down the working area) below the LEL. This works best when there isn't a large fuel surface area to be evaporated by the moving air essentially making more vapor.
Another way to do the Hot Work is to move the conditions past the UEL by filling the container with fuel so the mixture is too rich to burn/explode (though theoretically as safe as going below the LEL this isn't really used unless it has to be as people don't really believe that working on a tank full of fuel is actually "safer" than on one with a few drops of fuel in it... because what happens if you "burn through" the container and some of the inside fuel leaks out into the open air right next to the hot work... then the outside air can mix with the fuel and ignition can occur.
As several posts have said (and what we did for the aircraft fuel tanks) was to drain the fuel out, fill them with a soapy water solution and let them sit for a day or so, then we would run water through them to rinse them out. (I'd then check them to ensure the fuel vapor was below the LEL).
A word of caution, even if a tank that has had fuel (oil or any flammable liquid) in it and has been washed out and pronounced "safe for hot work" that is only safe for a certain period of time. IF a tank was water purged and pronounced safe and you then left it sitting "empty" in the hot sun for hours or days, there could still be residual fuel in the cracks and crevices that could form fuel/air vapor and reach the "flash point" and cause an "accident". Once a tank is purged and "safe" it is best to work on it in a timely manner or to check it again before commencing any spark/flame producing operations on it.
If you have purged a drum with soap and water, have rinsed it out good, and you are still concerned, you might hook a shop vacuum (or maybe a leaf blower) up to "blow" outside air into the container (say in one bung hole with the air coming out the other) to "Air out" any residual fuel vapors and get the space inside below the LEL.
As always, use common sense, play it safe. When in doubt, don't do it.
I will be making a BBQ grill in a week or two out of a 55-gallon drum, I'll probably use my new HF double cut saw, or get their 18 Gauge Sheet Metal Shear.

Our children deserve the best. Good nutrition is a cornerstone of good health and vital for proper development. The objective in creating Kids Natural Calm Multi was to combine the beneficial effects of magnesium with a comprehensive premium multi to provide children with key nutrients missing from their diets.
24 Organic Fruits and Veggies
As we know, fruits and vegetables are fundamental nutritional factors in a healthy diet. Kids Natural Calm Multi incorporates superfruits (organic pomegranate, açaí, goji and noni), fruits (apple, banana, blackberry, blueberry, cranberry, mango, orange, pineapple, rasp-berry, strawberry and tart cherry) and vegetables (beets, broccoli, carrot, collard greens, kale, peas, pumpkin, spinach and tomato). They took extra care to use organic produce to ensure no pesticide, herbicide or fungicide residues, chemical fertilizers or genetically modified ingredients were included in their formula.
Omega-3 DHA & EPA
Technically, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are biologically active omega-3 fatty acids. They are basic building blocks in cells and are needed throughout the entire body for good health. As children grow and develop, they require these fatty acids as essential components in their diets. Omega-3 DHA and EPA are an integral part of cell membranes and precursors of several important cellular messengers. DHA has been recognized as necessary for brain, visual and nervous system health and development.
The fish oil used in Kids Natural Calm Multi is sourced from the purest wild sardine and anchovy, fished in cold, pristine waters off South America where there are significantly less environmental impurities. It is the product of a healthy, fully sustainable fishery and is a renewable resource.
Calcium and Magnesium Balance
Calcium and magnesium are key nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for good health to be fully maintained. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium) interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you feel your pulse, and every time you breathe.
When we are under stress (and don't think that stress applies only to adults), our cells-which in their resting state contain magnesium-go through a change. Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state.

Pumpkin Pie Custard Recipe
4.5 21
"Instead of pumpkin pie, try this flavorful light holiday dessert," says field editor Nancy Zimmerman of Cape May Court House, New Jersey. "My husband's aunt shared the recipe after she brought this treat to a family party."
- 2 cups canned pumpkin
- 1 can (12 ounces) fat-free evaporated milk
- 8 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Fat-free whipped topping, optional
- In a large bowl, beat the pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg whites and fat-free milk until smooth. Add the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cloves and nutmeg; mix well.
- Spoon into ten 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray. Place in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
- Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate until serving. Garnish with whipped topping if desired. Yield: 10 servings.

I was watching a video from Discraft and had a question for you guys.
first off here's the video---->Lond Distance Drives
All of the pro guys start their throw out to the left and get it to come back right. All of them are throwing overstable distance drivers. That last guy that throws the furthest is throwing a predator which has a sability of 2.5. It didn't look like they were throwing them anhyser?
How are they doing that? Mine always will hyser like a champ when I throw a distance driver. Do I just not throw hard enough?

Silent Night, Deadly Night 3-5
Reviewer: Rhett
Review Date: December 13, 2009
Released by: Lionsgate
Release date: 12/1/2009
Region 1, NTSC
Full Frame 1.33:1
After the second film,
Silent Night, Deadly Night
looked like your plain, run of the mill eighties slasher series. Killer Santa, one family member picking up after the other, plenty of sleaze and just as much cheese. When Little Ricky started trampling through a quite suburb shooting people and yelling Garbage Day! one really could say There goes the neighbourhood! Rather than die, though, the series instead veered off onto most unpredictable paths. The third film followed a blind woman with a telekinetic connection to a comatose victim, the fourth involved giant slimy creatures and Clint Howard (what more can you say?), and the fifth followed Mickey Rooney of all people as a demented toy maker. Although theres a killer Santa on the front of this three pack, you wont see him in
Parts 3
, and even in the
its an axe-less Mickey Rooney! Theres no question the three films in this new Lionsgate package are different, but the question remains are they good or bah humbug bad?
The Story
Better Watch Out!
starts off impressively in a
-esque dream world of white, where the protagonist, Laura (
Samantha Scully
) finds her dreaming of a deadly chase with a killer with his brain exposed. Said killer is none other than Ricky Caldwell, the Santa killer brother from
Part 2
(this time played by
Bill Moseley
), who has been comatose ever since taking one too many gunshots during the previous films climax. Laura wakes up to reveal shes been dreaming, all probed up for mental recording from the hospitals psychology unit. Dr. Newbury (
Richard Beymer
Twin Peaks
) sees a special talent in Laura, that maybe she might finally be able to communicate telepathically with Ricky after years of silence. Conveniently for the plot, Newbury has her dream about Rickys flashbacks from the first film. Even when shes not dreaming, though, shes seeing him, and apparently hes seeing her.
Lauras blind, but somehow through her thoughts Ricky is able to see. One night he busts out of his hospital room and heads out to see, all zombie like, the woman he repeatedly calls Lauuuuuuuuuraaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh (sort of like in that game,
, for any 32-bit gamers out there). Meanwhile, the police start tracking Rickys footsteps, trying to come to terms with that fact that this vegetable is actually back on a killing spree. Led by Lt. Connely (
Robert Culp
, best known for TV with leads in
I Spy
The Greatest American Hero
, but also a Christmas horror stalwart now with
Santas Slay
under his belt) the unit start tracking Rickys moves, which seem to always be one step behind Lauras. Laura is staying with her brother, Chris (
Eric Da Re
Twin Peaks
Critters 4
), and his girlfriend Jerri (
Laura Harring
, a boob job away from
Mulholland Dr.
, credited as Laura Herring), who by Lauras telling gives great head. Good to know. Their quiet little wintry getaway gets a lot redder as Ricky bursts through the door to slay once more. Is he dead, is he live, or is he Memorex? Ask Chris!
Leave it to the great Monte Hellman, director behind acclaimed works like
Two-Lane Blacktop
The Shooting
Ride the Whirlwind
to inject life into a series that was definitely on life support. Its peculiar that hed even touch such a franchise, but he does the impossible in not only catering to fans by offering continuity in the series, but also in taking the series into an entirely different, and fresh, direction. From strictly a horror standpoint, the film is very successful in establishing a sort of omnipotent dread, giving Ricky a Freddy Krueger-like quality of always being in the protagonists head. No silly one liners in the Freddy or Ricky of
Part 2
vein, though, as Hellman instead uses an almost entirely silent Bill Moseley to great restraint (imagine that, dog dick!). Like the great horror heroes, Ricky is both a threatening force and a sympathetic victim of society, and by exposing his brain to us literally throughout, Hellman invites us to get inside his mind and understand that sometimes the system really is to blame.
While the film is incredibly effective at establishing a mood, what with the ethereal and haunting Brian Eno-esque minimalist score and the assured camerawork, its these insights into society, humanity, government and the mind that make it such a lingering delight. Much more than just exposition scenes to keep the story moving forward, Hellman instead uses the scenes with the detective and doctor as a way to share with the audience his enlightened opinions on life. I dont think Ive seen a movie thats better sold me on the idea of telepathy being a believable phenomena more than the doctors musings on animal sense here. The two oldies, both played brilliantly by two vets of old Hollywood, also really sum up the paradox of the killer being a mere product of the apparently just society we live in. We put him through poor half-way homes. We kept him alive after he killed. What did we expect? The ending is particularly tragic, not for the lead, but instead for the old guys, as they realize their cryptic conjectures have been reaffirmed. The lieutenants I guess theres a lot of things that I dont know strikes with a sad, nihilistic irony, especially given Rickys reformed new years greeting at the end. Its a killer we bore, and you can rest assured well clean him up so he can kill again.
This is a really great movie. Hellman himself has proudly boasted that he considers it to be his best work, and I wouldnt hold it against him. Id say the surreal tone even had an impact on David Lynch, who used no less than three of the main cast members for his most acclaimed later projects. At a time when horror films were falling into stale sequel complacency or outlandish excess, Hellman instead tapped into the essence of the genre and pull out a film from the heart. From the old Hollywood actors to the foreshadowing clips of The Terror (also about a man hopelessly following a woman to her home), the film has an old masters touch thats so scant in horror films. The script is filled with razor sharp commentary and a sad regret, as if its all been one big nostalgic dream. Its
for a newer era, and for 1989, its the best horror film of the year. There may be no killer Santa, but make no mistake, this is the best gift the
Silent Night, Deadly Night
franchise ever bore.
And we go from the best to the worst, with Brian Yuznas repugnant
Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation
. You know its going to be bad when the first scene involves a homeless Clint Howard eating a hamburger out of a garbage can. The film stays there in the gutter as a woman then jumps off a building and spontaneously combusts sometime in December. If you were looking for your Christmas connection, thats it. It really ties the series together, doesnt it? Anyway, after some steamy all-over-the-room sex, wannabe reporter, Kim (
Neith Hunter
), sees a news update about the dead fire woman. She asks for the story at work, but her boss Eli (
Reggie Banister
) is indifferent. She decides to take it upon herself to investigate the seedy side of the city to find out just what happened. A burly Asian man says the woman was a prostitute and Clint Howard grabs a giant, not-of-this-world maggot from a vent on the roof. Somehow, those two instances have the biggest bearing on the plot.
Kim ends up falling in with a coven of weird worm loving witches, I think, becoming some whore for their dirty desires. Then Clint Howard, who never seems to go away despite really offering nothing to the story, comes back to implant the giant maggot into her belly button. There are then some scenes where Kim is moving up in work but also being humiliated. Then a nice scene of the maggot oozing an oatmeal-like substance out of Kims vagina before turning her whole bottom half into a giant slug as she writhes around naked in pain. Lots of screaming, lots of slime and zero sense. Thats
Im pretty sure this is the worst horror movie Ive ever seen. Not the worst in terms of production value, but certainly the worst in terms of story, outcome and intent. What is the point of this movie? Its just one giant, nasty downer of a picture that is mean-spirited, misogynistic and morbid. The color scheme is a disgusting burgundy brown, most of the scenes feel underexposed, and all the slimy effects are just nasty to look at. Its as if Yuzna showed pictures of afterbirth to the effects crew and told them to have a field day. Not enjoyable in the least bit, the whole movie is like watching a cat decompose. Its just ugly and without purpose. Yuzna turns over every rock he can find in the downtrodden areas of the big city, and, well, he certainly found something repulsive.
What makes the visual effects diarrhea and anti-feminist rhetoric all the more unpleasant is that Yuzna destroyed the continuity of the
Silent Night, Deadly Night
series while doing so. Hellmans take was so fresh, and he certainly left it open for more, so why did Yuzna have to drown maggot vile all over it? I can understand thinking Okay, the Ricky story is spent. Lets take this in a new direction like Carpenter did with
Halloween III
and make this a new Christmas horror story. But the thing is, Yuzna doesnt even do that. Other than superficially being set around a death at some office Christmas party, this has absolutely zero to do with Christmas. Nothing. It could be set around any other time and the film would still make just as much sense (very little). Hell, the lead character in the film even admits to not celebrating Christmas because shes Jewish. What the fuck. Did Yuzna just try to make everything about this movie as far as he possibly could from satisfying the target audience? I want him to make a
Friday the 13th
movie where the leads say they hate camping and then spend the rest of the film in the city trying to get ahead at work. That would be really great. Sorry, but if youre going to use the
Silent Night, Deadly Night
banner, then set it around fucking Christmas. Why do I even have to explain that? I dont know what Yuzna was Initiating the audience for, but if it gets any worse than this I think they call that the apocalypse.
Okay, so with the franchise continuity destroyed and the Christmas theme sullied, we move on apprehensively to Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker. Well, the killer Santa returns, kind of, as a demented shop keeper with a passion for creating killer toys. The toy store owner, wait for it, Joe Petto (
Mickey Rooney
!), has been making booby trapped toys that can kill whomever is unlucky enough to receive them. These are the kind of toys that would make even Puppet Master feel inferior. Army figures with live ammo, dummy hands that can crawl around like Thing, a spare maggot prop from Initiation (run out of money, Screaming Mad George?), a face hugger Santa, and a few jigsaw rigged action figures. The Santa face hugs the stepdad of little Derek (
William Thorne
), to whom the present was initially wrapped. After that, Derek is traumatized and can no longer speak. All he knows is that he hates toys particularly those that will kill him.
His well meaning mom, Sarah (
Jane Higginson
) of course doesnt know that, and takes Derek to Pettos toy store for a little pick-me-up. Joes good with kids, hes got one himself, wait for it, Pino (
Brian Bremer
, Yuznas
), and tries to cheer Derek up. You cant tell whether its the character or the uh, perceivable autism, of the main actor, but Derek is nonetheless unresponsive. He keeps getting gifts in the mail though, and whomever gets them ends up dead. Whats going on here, and why is an Gulf war vet following them around as a fake Santa?
After Initiation anything is up, but this is a fairly solid little horror film that doesnt take itself too seriously. Mickey Rooney is fantastic as the tyrannous toymaker. Ive got to tangent for a second, though. Remember how Mickey Rooney vehemently spoke out against the original
Silent Night, Deadly Night
(his words preserved on the Anchor Bay disc of the film)? Well, call it a slight contradiction, but apparently he had no problem playing a child killer, drunk and abusive father in this one. He may have whored himself for the cash, but the film is all the better for it, with Rooney injecting a crazy awkward intensity to every line or action that emotes from his face. Even when hes playing nice, the pint-sized senior is still damn scary.
Although the story and setting are completely different than any of the previous Silent Nights, the filmmakers still somehow decided to bridge this with the awful Initiation by bringing back Neith Hunter in a role of the same name, Kim. Shes got a teenage son here, so I guess she did stick with the boy she saved at the end of that one. Proving that you can never quite rid the world of Clint Howard, hes back again as Ricky (making that a Ricky for every movie) a nothing part here, although hes no longer homeless. Moving up in the world, I guess. Screaming Mad George does the effects here as he did in the fourth film, but thankfully these are far less of the slop variety and at least have a bit of creativity. Still, its definitely second (third?) rate to most of the animatronic
Childs Play
stuff that was all the rage back in the early nineties.
While the film settles into a pretty predictable formula of toy is given to kid, someone else takes toy, someone else dies in a weird way, I give kudos for the wild finale. I never saw that twist coming, and things actually get pretty disturbing when a robot starts to have sex with Sarah screaming I love you, mommy! Im pretty sure you can make a drinking game around all of Dereks lifeless, autistic stares, the movie still works on its own on the strength of Rooney and the leftfield ending. Its much more intertwined with the Christmas season, too, with people giving gifts, seeing mall Santas and Rooney going nuts in Kringles suit at the end. Like with
Halloween III
though, once they sort of got the formula for theme-related sequels right, they abandoned it all completely. Too bad!
Image Quality
Fans rejoiced when these three films were initially announced by Lionsgate with a widescreen specification. Unfortunately, theyre all full screen, but thats always been the only way theyve been exhibited, so its not a huge loss. Theyve also only been exhibited interlaced on NTSC television and VHS, and unfortunately theyre still interlaced here. Progressive scan transfers would have marked a big upgrade, but even still, the quality and clarity of these new transfers is quite good. All three films look pretty sharp considering.
Part 3
looks a little desaturated compared to the Yuzna sequels, but that seems to have been a stylistic choice more than a transfer one. All three prints are in very good shape, with no real print damage to be seen, although there are occasional specs and such in
Part 3
and slightly less in the other two sequels. Generally I do not like these video-based interlaced transfers Lionsgates work on
Slaughter High
definitely wasnt a personal favorite, but I must admit that these look pretty good. Considering theyve been only available on VHS all these years, finally getting them clean and colored on DVD in such solid shape is definitely no lump of coal this Christmas!
All three films are presented in English Dolby Digital 2.0, and Id say theyre all in shades of mono. No real directional effects were noticeable, but on the plus neither was any distortion or damage. There isnt much range, but there isnt much hiss either, so you cant really complain. Like with the video, this gets the job done a little better than a pack of this type would lead you to believe.
Supplemental Material
I guess getting these three films together is bonus enough, but I cant help but feel a little cheated on the whole no extras thing. Its especially disheartening since you can view bits of Monte Hellman talking favorably about the third film in an interview at the Alamo theater, so for sure he would have been game to lend his voice to at least a commentary on the third. Yuznas no stranger to DVD supplements, either, so it would have been nice to see him try and explain himself for the fourth film as well. And for the fifth film, how about a Mickey Rooney commentary? Im pretty sure the guy is going to live forever, so they can get him when this is re-released on Blu-ray.
As for whats actually here, we get three films on three separate single-layer discs, all packaged in a single alpha case with a cardboard slipcover. Its a nice looking package overall, with each DVD easily accessible on its own in the case. Theres a killer Santa on each menu with a different location in the background. He must have seen that scummy world of Initiation and thought why bother? Wish I could have done the same. Trailers for
Slaughter High
(probably better than the film!),
My Bloody Valentine 3-D
and the DVD release of
The Monster Squad
are also included on startup.
Final Thoughts
Silent Night, Deadly Night
series comes to a conclusion with this nicely-packaged three disc set. The third film really is a special find and a thus far criminally overlooked horror film that ranks up with the best horror films of the late eighties. The fourth film, conversely, ranks down there with the worst, while
Part 5
finds a nice midground on the strength of a batshit crazy Mickey Rooney. The audio and video presentation are slightly above average, so dont be discouraged entirely by the full screen interlaced specs. There are no extras, but hopefully this fine little collection generates enough interest that Lionsgate may think to decorate it up by the time this hits high def. Considering the previous two films are out of print and have already been discussed to death, Im recommending this as the stocking stuffer of the year for horror fans.

Strange that these are exhibited in full screen...
I just picked up a $5 4-pack from Wal-Mart including SLDN 3: Better Watch Out and the film featured in the trailer here- Slaughter High. This $1.25 presentation of SLDN 3 is presented in WIDESCREEN... but the expensive box set is not?
Apparently my Blu-Ray player was stretching this picture for some unknown reason. It could potentially be incorrectly flagged as widescreen. Strange though, as I know my player is set to display 4:3 sources without stretching and all my other 4:3 titles, including others from the ssme set, display correctly.
Oddly enough, I didn't notice as it really didn't appear to be stretched, I didn't notice any obvious signs of stretching until nearly halfway through the film.

Okay, let me be more specific. My opinion is buy a speedglas. I have purchased all three of mine off ebay (1 new-2 used) and dont have more than $500 invested in all of them. I can give no specifications at all, only my experience. I use speedglas exclusively with zero problems. Just my two cents.

Thank you guys so much. I'm really glad there is renewed interest in this thread because I never did feel totally sure of my decision.
I really like the one recently posted. If it's good as it's said to be but at a really good price, then that's the thing i'm looking for.
Thank you guys!

my son bought him one of those auto shields from tractor supply they are desposable because i don't see anyplace . it's still going strong after 2 years and he only payed around 70.00 for it. as for me i just stick with my two miller elites they are [retty old but the only problem i ever had was dead batteries but a quik trip to walmart and it's back up and running.
Thanks to both of you, but metalpuddler...
WHICH SpeedGlas models do you have? Which did you buy new? Why did you buy new if used is OK? How much are the used ones worth, if someone wanted to bid on a used helmet?
And OscarJr; thanks for the rating clarification, but...
Does the HTP suffer from the same battery fitment issues as the DigElite? That page says the sweat bands are replaceable, but that site doesn't offer the replacement bands. Have you found them anywhere? How much do they cost? They seem to make a big deal about it, but I've never heard any welder complain about any of the problems CSV claims to eliminate. What's the difference between it & the WG version?Walk softly & carry a BIG SIX ! ! !
Mine are all 9002X, no side vents and one with hard hat. Too much test of my memory to remember specifically about what I paid for each one. The only reason one was new because the person selling on ebay called a "speedglass", no watchers got it cheap, somewhere around $150 I think. Sorry I know that doesn't answer your question.TB 302

I bought mine within the last year. There is a long time member at Hobart Weld Talk and weldingweb.com named Dan. He bought is HTP around the same time, and uses it daily at work. There is a thread over at Weld Talk about the hoods. If you're worried about the sweatband, call HTP. Both Jeff and Diana are good people.
For HTP specifics, on anything, Paul P. has been my go-to guy. After I bought my Invertig 221 DV, he has helped me out tremendously to purchase extra stuff at crazy low prices. He is very straightforward about comparing to other brands and doesn't just try to sell you HTP stuff just because he works there.HTP Invertig221 D.V. Water-cooled

I've had my Striker Stealth CSV helmet/lens for over a year now. I use it strictly for DC TIG on 304L stainless steel. I've ran 1000's of welds with it, and I am still using the original factory installed batteries.
The last page of the owner manual has an exploded view of the helmet with a parts number listing below. Just to have one available when needed, I want to purchase a spare cover plate gasket. I plan on contacting HTP by E mail tomorrow morning to find out how I go about doing this.
I've used a Jackson Nexgen, Miller Elite, and Miller performance series. The view through the CSV lens is clearer and more defined then the above mentioned three. The view through the Nexgen is real good too, but its just not quite as good as the CSV. I dislike the green tint of the Miller lens.
A fair amount of my welding is in plant repair work were the view of the weld bead isn't always right in front of you. When viewing the weld off at an angle with the Nexgen, Miller Elite, and Miller performance series, there is a noticeably lighter shaded region along the edges of the lens. I don't see this lighter region through the CSV lens.

Have tried Origin 16 and it last about 4 hours same with PPA and most other multis they don't last, next stop may be a soft poly but I worry about poly related injury.
Apart from breaking with shanks and very hard to string, he doesn't really have a problem with the ZX.
What say you? stick with ZX or something better to try?
I'm a legendary shank master. There are certain strings that I just can't use because they don't handle shear stress well at the top of the frame. Have you tried PPA in the 15g yet?
Thanks will try, may also try a soft poly with ZX cross.
Been comparing Micronite 17 g and Maxim Touch 16 g. Both at 25/24 kg. Maxim Touch is better in every departement, apart from volleys, where Micronite is significantly crisper and more precise. MT is a lot easier on the arm, Micronite is actually a little jarring. Then again, my elbow is fragile. Depth control is the MT's big advantage, along with better grip on the ball/ heftier spin and better durabilty. Micronite breaks in the crosses after 3-5 hours of play. MT lasts twice that for me. Micronite keeps tension a little better, but very marginally.
I also tested them in match play, a set with each string against the #1 ranked player at my club, in two matches.
Micronite 2-6/ Maxim Touch 6-7
Micronite 3-6/ Maxim Touch 6-3 (rain, no final set)
Not a very scientific approach, but I always think results are more important than what I "feel". I was more comfortable being aggressive from the baseline with the MT in both matches.
I don't wanna preach the MT, but if you have a delicate elbow it is a string to check out. Really comfortable, even above the 25 kg mark.
(I am aware they are different gauges, and that 16 g probably works better in my frames, but what the heck. Just sharing some info on at least one string that is under the radar).
What about string movement? Can MT compete with Micronite in that department?
Absolutely. Micronite is dry, whereas MT is very waxy, snaps back easier.
Guess I must try it out. Not so many sellers on the net, it seems. Did you get yours from S******** World?
In regards to tension maintenance there's nothing better than natural gut. From all the mulit's you've tested. Which one had the best tension maintenance? I'm thinking towards wilson nxt?
I don't remember much about tension maintenance at this point. Most were just fine for me.
I picked up a reel from the bayou, dirt cheap. It was from a british company (I live in Europe).
Hello everyone, I have been using MCS for a while on my dunlops mw 200g (18x20) and like it a lot but the reel is coming to an end and while I was looking for cheap alternatives I found dunlop dna 17 reels selling for 40eur at my local dept store, which seems like a good price. I'm quite happy with MCS 16 overall and would only change to something that is similar and gives me more spin (and eventually a little more power, although I like low powered, more control-oriented strings). Should I get dna 17?
Also, I've seen that most online retailers describe the string colour as natural although it seems black to me?
Thanks in advance.
Buy the Dunlop reel!
