Sometimes the water from the sink or a sprinkler can make stubborn water spots on your windows. This guide is about removing hard water spots.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
My husband read so many solutions on removing hard water spots on windows, but nothing ever worked for him. The windshield on our motor home was so stained from the water that would run down it, that we tried everything on the market just like so many others. We bought so many products from acid wash, scrub with SOS, to Comet.
I always use Scrubbing Bubbles for everything in my house. I told my husband for so long to try Scrubbing Bubbles but he always told me, "No that isn't going to work", until one day when he was frantic, he did try Scrubbing Bubbles along with extra fine steel wool. He couldn't believe his eyes. The glass is crystal clear and just like new. Now he won't use anything else just like I won't use any other product except for Scrubbing Bubbles inside.
So every one who is at their worst with hard water spots please use this product. It really does work. I know this sounds like a infomercial, just try for yourself.

I was having trouble getting water spots off my windows until my neighbor suggested using alcohol. I used 91% rubbing alcohol from the drugstore that I already had in the house and paper towels. I didn't even have to scrub. The spots came off like magic.

Use shower cleaner, SOS pad, and water.

I have had very hard water spots on my windows from the irrigation system for a year. I just tried Colgate Toothpaste as suggested by Chris on ThriftyFun. My windows are now perfectly clear and it was so easy! I put a little Colgate Toothpaste on a damp paper towel, rubbed it on the glass in circular motions, then I rinsed with vinegar water (anything that would clean the paste off should work). and dried thoroughly. The glass is sparkling!

Bar Keepers Friend and a soft scrub sponge works best for me. It removes all shower spots and window spots from sprinklers. Window on right had the whole lower half with spots.
To remove hard water spots from glass, you'll need:
First off let me say that nothing else worked. I tried everything from glass cleaner with vinegar to straight vinegar. I even tried Scrubbing Bubbles (as found here on this site), but nothing worked. Then the light bulb! I grabbed the above listed items and tried one window - beautiful.
How to: pretty straight forward - pour cooktop cleaner onto non scratch scrubbing sponge (I used Weiman cooktop cleaner and a Weiman scrubbing pad - red). Work in a circular motion covering the window. Use the wet rag to wipe clean the edges of the window frame. Buff the window with the microfiber towel. Presto!

My car windows were covered in hard water spots after mistakenly parking near a sprinkler at work on a hot summer day. I have washed my car three times and paid close attention to the windows, but had no luck getting the spots off. Today I decided to see what I could do with household products.
Here's what I used:
Here's what I did:
Step 1: Use a small amount of toothpaste, rubbed onto the worst of the water spots, and buff with a dry paper towel. Pay close attention to the areas where the spots are the worst. If necessary, dampen the paper towel a little once the tooth paste gets too dry. I didn't get the paper towel TOO wet because I didn't want to drip tooth paste onto the body of the car. Not sure what that would do to the paint job.
Step 2: Dampen the microfiber towel with the mixture of vinegar/water/dish soap, and use it to clean the window overall. Use a little extra elbow grease where you can still see the spots.
Step 3: Once you have gotten the toothpaste up, flip the towel over and wipe until the streaks are gone.
After following these three steps, my windows are spot-free and shiny! Now, I'm going to go back and put on some Rain-X on my windows to prevent this from happening again.
I water my lawn with very hard water in a very windy area. There is almost no way to keep the water off my windows every time I water. In the past, I had used ammonia to wash the windows and vinegar to get rid of the hard water stains.
Then last year I broke my arm and missed a whole year of washing windows. This spring the hard water stains seemed to have become part of the glass. Then I thought about the way I clean my cooktop.
I first washed the windows with ammonia/water solution, then wiped vinegar on a section of the window. I then scraped the glass in that section with a single-edged razor blade. The stains were removed with very little effort.

My brother parks his car on the street and every night the sprinklers go on. When he wakes up in the morning, he has water spots on the right side of his car. He tried washing his car but the spots would not come off. He also tried Windex, white vinegar, brake cleaner, anything you could think of!
Then my mom said, "Hey, try this Ajax!" With a little bit of water, the spots came right off! So the trick is AJAX!
Hope this helps.

Here are questions related to Removing Hard Water Spots on Windows.
I have four 10'X6' windows (all glass) and about 15 smaller windows of different sizes that get sprayed by water containing calcium, and various other minerals that will not wash off with soap or other washer solutions. I presently use dish soap and hot water and a bit of CLR added. I have used an ammonia solution, vinegar, and rubbing alcohol. Nothing really phases the stains even though the windows get clean, they still show those hard water stains.
We use ditch water to irrigate the lawn by a sprinkler system. Help! I also used automotive products and the products that you are supposed to put on and hose off. They definitely made no difference other than to clean.

I am not sure using CLR would be good for the environment, but as long as you keep it off the ground and wear gloves so you are protected... I can also suggest a razor blade to remove any remaining film/crust from hard water stains. Also found this: http://www.ehow.com/how_5412240_remove-hard-water-stains-windows.html

If you have hard water spots on your windows they will be hard to clean. Lime away does work but I don't like the harsh chemical. Spray your window with a window cleaner and use a scraper with a blade (the kind you use to remove paint on a window) to scrape over the hard water spots. Be careful to keep the blade flat and not scratch the window. Wipe the window and spray any spots you missed and scrape these away. If you have a huge build up, ammonia water works better than window cleaner but then again, you are dealing with harsh smelly chemical.
I've tried to clean my house windows with cleaners such as Windex, Bon Ami, vinegar, Colgate toothpaste, Cascade, Dawn, and baking soda. They are stained with water spots and grime. We live on the golf course and I don't know what all they spray on the fairway, etc., but I can't get my windows clean. Please help!

What you are describing as water spots sounds more like Sticker spots. Sticker is a chemical that somewhat water proofs another chemical like fungicides. The make-up of this stuff is pretty simple it's like Elmers glue and dish soap, something I have used when landscaping in large complexes.
To remove Sticker spots use alcohol, rubbing will work as will alcohol based hand sanitizers. You may also have to use a light abrasive like baking soda. Dampen a cloth with the alcohol or rub the sanitizer on the window and scrub ( you may want to let the sanitizer sit to work it's way into the stains) then polish with the baking soda and rinse. It may take more than one application to remove all this stuff.
After you get the windows clean seal the glass with a rainex type product. Also check into having the golf course clean up their mess, if this has gotten onto your windows via a pesticide application they could be liable for the damage.
I do not think there is any health concern as a Sticker product in not used with toxic chemicals.

Use the vinegar. I'd use a scrubby sponge though. Then after you get it clean, use a lemon oil furniture polish with a terry wash cloth to apply to the glass where the water hits it. You'll most likely have to re-apply every couple of weeks but it sure helps on our glass shower doors.

I bought a car recently and it has water spots all over the car. It's so bad that it has become part of the paint job, and the windows are so bad that you can barely see out of them.
I've tried the vinegar and that does not work. I don't think the owner before ever washed the car. So I'm worried I will not find anything to work on something this severe. I even tried scrapping with a razor. It got the dirt layer off but the spots are not leaving. Please I need the help with my situation!

At my model home, the irrigation system sprays the windows and the storm door on the front door. They are all covered with hard water stains. I know Whink will work but I can't find it in my little neck of the woods. What else can I use that won't harm the brass tone trim or the vinyl sash? I have oxy cleaners and The Works. Will either of those work? I have several spec homes with windows that need to be cleaned so I am looking for the quickest and easiest cleaning solution.

'Couch commerce' boosts Black Friday
3 December 2013
RESTON: Black Friday was the first billion dollar online sales day of the US holiday season and was 15% up on last year, new figures have shown.
Digital measurement company comScore reported that
desktop online sales on Friday November 29 reached $1.198bn
. The previous day, Thanksgiving Day, saw even stronger growth, rising 21% to $766m.
For the holiday season to date, counting from the start of November, online spending was up 3% to $20.6bn, although comScore observed that as Thanksgiving had fallen late this year that growth figure was an understatement of the real trend.
"Clearly many consumers prefer to avoid the crowds and lines typically associated with Black Friday by shopping from the comfort of their own homes, and we saw a record 66m Americans do that this year, " said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni.
He also noted that the trend of starting holiday shopping earlier by opening stores on Thanksgiving Day was having a spillover effect on the online channel.
Thanksgiving was, he said the fastest-growing online shopping day over the past five years, "as more Americans opt for couch commerce following their Thanksgiving Day festivities".
In terms of dollar sales, the apparel and accessories category has led the way, accounting for 28% of online holiday spending to date.
Then followed computer hardware ranks on 19% of sales, with a wide gap to consumer electronics (7%), consumer packaged goods (5%) and shipping services (5%).
The top two categories were also well above baseline sales for the rest of the year (January to October), almost double in the case of apparel and accessories.
Not only were dollar sales increasing but more Americans were going online to shop on Black Friday. A total of 66.1m did so using a desktop computer, representing an increase of 16% on 2012.
Amazon was once again the most visited online retail site on Black Friday, according to comScore, followed by eBay, Walmart, Best Buy and Target.
Separate data from ShopperTrak indicated that sales and foot traffic to bricks and mortar stores had risen between 2% and 3% over the two days. But it added that stripping out the Thanksgiving data showed Black Friday sales down 13.2% and traffic down 11.4%.
"Retailers are trying to get at the wallet ahead of their competition, so they're pushing open earlier and earlier," Bill Martin, founder of ShopperTrak,
told the LA Times
"But it was really at the expense of the Black Friday weekend," he added. "It didn't generate any more sales by opening up Thursday — it just spread it out over a longer period of time."

North Conway prepares for re-opening of public skating rink
The warming hut at the North Conway skating rink sits quiet now, but should be very busy soon. (SARA YOUNG-KNOX PHOTO)
NORTH CONWAY - The Grinch made an appearance at the ribbon cutting for the public skating rink at Schouler Park on Saturday, but he wasn't there to crush the holiday spirit of North Conway villagers.
It was the good Grinch who showed up, the one whose heart had increased three sizes, and though he made no remarks, he and his fellow Seussians were clearly happy with the effort to make sure the rink didn't melt away into the past.
The rink was formerly managed by the North Conway Outing Club, with help from the North Conway Water Precinct and North Conway Community Center. Last winter, there were increased liability and safety concerns when a local woman died after slipping and hitting her head on the ice.
The town has taken over rink management, with the precinct still playing an active role and providing around half of the funding needed to open and maintain it. The outing club was not organized formally, and over the years has lost members.
Though the effort to make sure the rink got up and running this year was a joint undertaking, it was the Community Celebrations Committee that fundraised for the rink.
The rink will not open until late December but preparations are underway. On Saturday, the 10-inch pressure-treated pine boards that will form the rink's border were still sitting at the edge of the newly leveled baseball field, but the refurbished warming hut was open. The hut, which has been turned to face the rink so that those keeping cozy inside can watch the skaters, was a welcome shelter from the brisk, icy wind whipping across the park as the sun set over the mountains Saturday.
"It's going to take a good solid week of cold temperatures to get ice," John Eastman, Conway Parks and Recreation Department director said Saturday.
The old backboards have been retired, and new, pressure-treated lumber will form the perimeter of the rink. Eastman said the outline of the rink will go up Tuesday, with a target opening of the holiday vacation week. The rink will be open weekends, holidays and school vacation weeks. If more money becomes available - fundraising efforts are ongoing - then hours could increase.
The rink will close for the season March 1. By then, the late winter sun is strong enough to melt frozen surfaces during the day, so maintenance is more challenging.
It's an ancient art, making ice, but getting the word out when the rink is open is all high tech. Eastman said this year, besides Facebook updates, there will be a link from the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce's website.
"I'm very happy with it," Eastman said of the warming hut after the ribbon cutting. "It just needed a little work."
"A little TLC," Jim Umberger, precinct commissioner, added.
The tender love and care for the hut included new benches with backs, similar to the benches at the Conway Scenic Railroad Station, larger windows, all-weather carpeting, and fresh paint for both the interior and exterior. Eastman said that Russ Seybold of the Conway Scenic Railroad allowed them to use the same color as the railroad station, and helped them match paint.
"This didn't happen overnight," Eastman said in his remarks to those gathered for the ribbon cutting.
Given the honor of using the ceremonial scissors was John Cannell of the North Conway Outing Club. The ribbon cutting was held in conjunction with the village's Snowflake Festival, which included the park's tree lighting and carol singing by M&D Productions players from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

The projects funded will serve aquaculture and papaya farmers as well as work toward the preservation of an endemic cycad species endangered due to attacks by several species of invasive insects.
Hui Gong, an aquaculture researcher with WPTRC, was awarded $186,960 for a genetic variability study of specific pathogen free (SPF) Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, through developing a panel of species-specific microsatellite genetic markers. Says Dr. Gong, "The long term research objective is to establish a medium-scale, effective genetic selection program of P. vannamei on Guam to support the development and expansion of shrimp aquaculture in the Western Pacific region."
George Wall, plant pathologist, received $162,856 in collaboration with Dr. D. Nandwani from the Northern Marianas College to improve papaya cultivars from the Mariana Islands in their tolerance to papaya ringspot virus (PRV) and other important diseases. Dr. Wall's studies have found that a local variety is tolerant to PRV but needs genetic improvement to reduce the incidence of male character and deformed fruit. "We intend to take our selections to an F4 generation with this grant project and ultimately to an F7 or beyond," says Wall.
WPTRC research scientist Thomas Marler is known internationally as an expert on cycad plants. Marler, in collaboration with pollination biologist Irene Terry, was awarded $120,318 to study the pollination process of Cycas micronesica, a plant endemic to the Mariana Islands. This cycad is currently listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List of endangered species. "This project addresses a pressing horticultural problem, an acute invasive species crisis, fundamental questions concerning pollinator-plant interactions in an ancient lineage of plant, and critical gaps in knowledge needed to steer urgent conservation decisions," says Marler.

EEG biofeedback improves attentional bias in high trait anxiety individuals

Emotion-related attentional bias is implicated in the aetiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders. Electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback can obviously improve the anxiety disorders and reduce stress level, and can also enhance attention performance in healthy subjects. The present study examined the effects and mechanisms of EEG biofeedback training on the attentional bias of high trait anxiety (HTA) individuals toward negative stimuli.
Event-related potentials were recorded while HTA (n=24) and nonanxious (n=21) individuals performed the color-word emotional Stroop task. During the emotional Stroop task, HTA participants showed longer reaction times and P300 latencies induced by negative words, compared to nonanxious participants.
The EEG biofeedback significantly decreased the trait anxiety inventory score and reaction time in naming the color of negative words in the HTA group. P300 latencies evoked by negative stimuli in the EEG biofeedback group were significantly reduced after the alpha training, while no significant changes were observed in the sham biofeedback group after the intervention.
The prolonged P300 latency is associated with attentional bias to negative stimuli in the HTA group. EEG biofeedback training demonstrated a significant improvement of negative emotional attentional bias in HTA individuals, which may be due to the normalization of P300 latency.

A new year, and a new round, but the same result - the West Genesee ice hockey team knocking Baldwinsville out of the Section III Division I playoffs.
With a complete performance at both ends of the rink - deep and balanced offense, suffocating defense - the Wildcats shut out the Bees 7-0 in Friday night's opening-round game at Shove Park in Camillus.
This allows WG to come back to Shove Park one more time to face no. 5 seed Corcoran in Wednesday night's Division I semifinals. The Cougars ousted Cortland-Homer 3-1 in its first-round game. Whoever wins here gets Rome Free Academy or Cicero-North Syracuse in next Saturday's championship game at Utica Memorial Auditorium.
To say that the Wildcats and Bees knew each other from seasons past would be an understatement. They had met in the last two sectional finals, with WG winning both times - in 2009 at the Syracuse War Memorial, in 2010 at Allyn Arena in Skaneateles.
Here, it was an encounter just three weeks removed from a 3-0 Wildcat victory at B'ville on Jan. 28 - and WG reached that margin in the first period alone, and didn't stop there.
In each of the next two periods, the Wildcats found the net twice, and what was just as impressive was that, every time, it seemed like someone different was ramming the puck home.
Six different players scored, as Josh Duquette provided the only two-goal outing. Nick Holzhauer, Ryan LaVallee, John Sabert, Matt Schattner and Erik Kurz also converted, with Sabert having a particularly great night as he added three assists. Shawn Lynch and Robbie Michel joined LaValleeand Kurz with single assists.
Meanwhile, on the back line Michel, Schattner, R.J. Tinklepaugh and Cody Ryan were piecing together another shutout, the team's seventh in its last eight games. Shaking off the five goals it allowed to CNS back on Feb. 9, WG held B'ville to 13 shots, all of which Jake Pelton would stop.

Here's my piece on this new version of Ben 10, the writing has gotten more lazy along with the animation making it more cartoony. I HATE the way the animation looks on all the humans, but it looks awesome on all the aliens. Ben's transformations have cooler looks and more personality was added to the alien races so that you can see the differences of same species. I also like that they have a more wide variety of transformations because the past versions only focused on a few and they keep adding new ones in with all the old. I admit that these aspects would've been better if they just gave this a more serious look and script so we can see the progression of these characters better. You don't help Gwen grow by putting her back in her 10 year old outfit and give ugly crooked glasses that she doesn't even need to wear.
|Posted by Durin78 3 years, 1 month ago
For those of us that have followed this show from the beginning, (and i'm a 34 year old geek), it doesn't hold up so far. Just caught the first episode last night and instead of going forward with Ben, they seem to have taken him backwards. He seems younger both physically and mentally in this new take on it. The alien forms are all different, and once again he has no idea who does what, which is cool as always. My biggest problem with this, is that they seem to have made it for a younger audience, when it wants to carry on from where it was. Kevin and Gwen leave, and Ben gets a new sidekick. All in all, it's okay. For those of us that have followed this show for some reason, it doesn't quite make it. Just wish Ben didn't look 10 years old again. 4/10

I wish these damn companies would realize that I am a lifer, that I have been a loyal comic/animation fan for many years. I think it would be smart to cater to my loyalty instead of always trying to bring in new audiences (for example kids). By screwing with something thats good they risk losing me as a fan. The kids these days wouldn't know good animation if it bit them in the ass. So my advice is listen to what I have to say because I'm the one paying for video, TV, Internet and film. :)

I dont like that in the Opening credits they switch back and forth between universes, but SHIT, the older Ben gets more of the action, and it seems to not keep him in an older capacity. I thought they would have moved forward. AND i dont understand how or why they switch between older and younger but there arent any logical reasons why they are switching back and forth other than to show backflashes...its strange, but I do like the new transformations

How is this funny? I guess they think him having to start all over again somehow makes the character grow as a person? I am confused and the animation sucks this artist needs to stay far away from cartoons meant for teens and adults. NO this story was not meant for children it was meant for teens and adults. When the ratings say PG( Prenatals should watch with children ) on the TV its meant for children and adult not five year old kids and no else. SO this new version sucks.

Armchair Pilots: These Guys Pursue Uplifting Experiences in Their Homes
Airplane Buffs Build Flight Simulators From Computers, Truck Parts and Beer Cans
OBERTSHAUSEN, Germany—Hans Krohn climbs into his cockpit, adjusts the computers and enters flight coordinates for New York's La Guardia Airport. Upstairs, his cat crawls around the kitchen.
Mr. Krohn's cockpit is part of a homemade flight simulator that never leaves his home. Yet it has dials, switches and pedals almost exactly like those on a genuine jet plane. The 52-year-old banker has spent more than 15 years building his machine, at a cost of more than $20,000.
Come Fly With Me
"When I started, it was a really weird hobby," says Mr. Krohn. Today, anyone can buy a disembodied cockpit almost good enough to train airline pilots—the only issue is price.
To extreme builders like Mr. Krohn, fake flying is only part of the fun. Their true fascination is figuring out how to simulate a simulator.
"Mine's made out of beer cans and truck parts," says Australian Matt Sheil, who built a 747 jumbo jet cockpit in the garage of his truck-equipment company in Sydney. His simulator runs off 14 computers using 45 programs, some of them custom written. It can bank and pitch, like a real plane. Yet the steering column is an exhaust pipe. "You'd be surprised how many parts a Kenworth truck and a Boeing 747 have in common."
Professional simulators can cost more than $10 million and require a team of computer technicians to operate. Pilots use them for training because they are less expensive—and safer to crash—than airborne aircraft. Simulator interiors precisely duplicate actual cockpits. They include video screens showing ever-changing exterior views so realistic they can inspire motion sickness. Some sit on pistons that can shake and rattle pilots.
Armchair pilots have run simulation programs on personal computers for decades. Serious home-cockpit building took off in the mid-1990s, when desk jockeys decided that flying with one computer monitor and a mouse lacked verisimilitude.
Many began by figuring out how to wire up a fake throttle and pedals. Soon, captain's seats, panels of switches and windows seemed like logical additions. The challenge of finding or creating parts became obsessive.
"It's a flight-simulation hobby that got out of hand, really," says John Davis, a onetime graphic designer in Coventry, England, who built a full-size copy of a 747 cockpit in his spare bedroom. He started using only a PC program. Quips from cynics prompted him to expand.
"At first, I saw a simulator, but other people just saw a bunch of computers," says Mr. Davis. He now charges about $100 per hour for a trip in his cockpit, which is firmly anchored to bedroom walls.
Despite their devotion, hard-core builders know that a car-size cockpit is an odd obsession.
"Most of my friends think it's pretty pathetic," says Dubliner Romek Delimata, a movie-set designer who has spent more than 15 years and $75,000 transforming a disused 747 training unit he bought from Irish national carrier Aer Lingus. The 1970s-vintage cockpit originally ran on a computer that was programmed with punched paper tape. It now uses eight PCs and replicates a recent 747 model, with digital screens and glowing dials.
"A heroin addiction would be cheaper," says Mr. Delimata.
Matt Olieman built an Airbus A340 simulator in his garage in Ocala, Fla., soon after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He didn't talk about it "because I didn't want people to think it was suspicious," he recalls. "Now, people can't believe there's a cockpit in my garage."
Mr. Olieman, who runs the simulator website and forum MyCockpit, figures that when he started fashioning his simulator in the 1990s, there were roughly 200 serious builders world-wide. Today, he estimates, over 15,000 people as far afield as Iran, Egypt and Vietnam have built cockpits, most using kits.
Mr. Krohn, the German banker, lets friends fly his simulator but mainly treats it as "a big and very expensive toy" for himself. He once attended a simulator-builders' expo in nearby Frankfurt, but found attendees "kind of nerdish," he says. "I hope I don't look like them," he recalls thinking.
Mr. Krohn started on his cockpit while stationed in Kazakhstan for his bank. When replica parts and sophisticated simulation software first appeared on the market, he snapped them up. As a housing, he bought the shell of an F-16 fighter plane simulator that was briefly available for amateurs.
Creating hardware that wasn't available took ages. Masterminding the circuitry to link it with software required more time. Until recently, it took at least five years of work to develop from scratch something resembling a cockpit simulator, Mr. Krohn said recently in his basement workshop.
"Small victories along the way kept me going," he recalled. One such triumph: developing a motion-sensitive control inside the joystick that maneuvers his virtual plane, allowing it to "fly" with more realistic fluidity.
Today, his machine runs off five PCs, one of them cooled by water for faster performance. Rather than view his virtual world on computer monitors, he wired up three overhead projectors that beam onto wall-size movie screens for wraparound images.
Similar systems are now sold ready made. Brett Reilly, a student pilot in California, recently tagged along with his instructor on an unsuccessful shopping trip for an off-the-shelf 747 simulator that costs up to $150,000 and requires an air conditioner to cool the processors.
"He wanted one in his house to play around with, but his wife was giving him a hard time," says Mr. Reilly, who enjoys less expensive PC-based simulation.
Mr. Krohn says he's "more of a tinkerer," so buying a complete cockpit holds little interest. "If you just put some money on the table," he says, "you use it five times and then start thinking about the next toy."

How to Reuse Gift Wrap
1. Origami – Cut your left over gift wrap into squares. It makes beautiful origami paper!
2. Make bunting – Bunting is any festive strand that you'd use to adorn walls for a party or just for fun. To make gift wrap into bunting, you can follow this tutorial and use reclaimed gift wrap in place of vintage paper.
3. Make a tray liner – Martha Stewart shows you how to use wrapping paper to line a party tray. I don't think she intends it to be reclaimed paper, but your salvaged gift wrap would work perfectly here!
4. Pretty packing material – Send that gift wrap through the paper shredder and use it instead of bubble wrap next time you're mailing a fragile gift.
5. Create tin can organizers – Cover an empty, clean in can in reclaimed gift wrap to make a simple organizer for craft supplies or for your desk. Just use a hot glue gun to attach the paper to the can, wrap it around, and use a glue stick to stick the paper to itself to finish it off.
6. Paper crane desktop mobile – Use gift wrap in place of the origami paper in this tutorial.
7. Upcycled party hats – Use reclaimed gift wrap for the decorative paper in this party hat tutorial. You can also use reclaimed, light cardboard instead of the vellum. Think cereal box-weight here.
8. DIY Gift Bow – Turn that paper in to pretty gift bows for the next gift using this tutorial from How About Orange.
9. Collage – Grab your scissors or decorative punches and use that gift wrap to make a fun collage!
10. Decoupage – Whip out the Mod Podge and use gift wrap to add adornment to a table top or set of drawers. Have fun with it! Cut out shapes, do a collage, or use the wrapping paper for an accent.

All breaks for all arrivals
lovely place to stay very clean with friendly atmosphere .Excellent park setting with easy access to surrounding areas.Lovely pool and spa and great food in onsite restaurant. Would certainly visit again.
A lovely break
The holiday village itself is kept very well, clean etc. However the accommodation required some work such as the seal around the bath and shower and kitchen equipment.
A very good place to be if you enjoy total isolation; but you have to travel 6 miles in order to buy a pint of milk. I believe the village would benefit from a small shop that sells the basics.
For the money we could have stayed in a good hotel with the added benefit of breakfast.
We had a fantastic week as a family at this modern beautiful complex which has loads to offer. Staff were always very friendly and bar and restaurant served lovely food at great value for money. We would defiantly go back!
Great accommodation and facilities, good food in the restaurant too. Some more children's entertainment would have been good. My son loved the crazy golf and giant chess and also the kid's room in the club house though.
Such a lot to do in the local area, we're definitely coming for two weeks next time!
Brilliant week spent here. Kids had a lovely time with the crazy golf and evening entertainment where faye ensured kids were well entertained.
Pool was lovely but only holds max 30 people so a bit frustrating having to wait when full, also changing room area far to small to get changed so recommend getting to pool all ready to swim and in flip flops.
Will defo consider returning.
Ps take your own non stick frying pan.
We had a fabulous time at Whitbarrow & would definitely stay again. I holidayed with my partner & 2 children aged 12 & 10. If I was to make any suggestions regarding improvements it would be to extend the games room with an extra ping pong table & pool table, better wifi & an on site shop. Saying that, I would holiday there again. The staff in the restaurant & bar were very helpful & friendly & the restaurant food 10/10.
We had a great family holiday - a few more things for smaller children would have been nice, but with the Lake District on our doorstep we didn't spend much time in the village during the day. The accommodation was really good for our family of 5. We very much enjoyed our stay.
Had a great holiday.
After reading mixed comments before we left home, the holiday turned out to be a great week, the apartment was really nice, the facilities onsite were great too. We didn't eat out in the restaurant on site as we were quite happy to cook in the apartment. We went to Keswick and shopped for food there as its got a Booths and Co-op. There was hardly anything to do in Penrith and has a Morrisons if you wanted to get some food shopping there. Its not that far. The holiday village was quiet which was really good. All round a great holiday village like a mini Centre Parcs. There is no shop on site but was happy to go off site and shop. Weather was great too which made it even better and that's saying something for the Lake District. We will go again.
A lovely cottage attached to a hotel in beautiful surroundings and a perfect base for exploring the Lake District.
We really enjoyed our break and the kids loved the crazy golf and swimming pool too!
Overall excellent. Could do with a shop on site to sell bread, milk etc
Lovely site. Rooms very clean and very well equipped. Close location to Penrith and surrounding areas.
Thoroughly enjoyable stay - would definitely book again.
Generally very good. Bar area slightly dated need better cask beers almost unprintable. Staff excellent pool excelleny
Nice place to stay

The blue diamonds did not look blue at all. They were more like black and very dull. The ring was a nice design and good quality but I did not like the stones. I returned it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Why would a family run HK business who owns as much as they do care what the stock price does in the interim. I doubt you will see any NR's trying to shore up current support. My only consolation is that if this goes south they will lose more then I invested. I also want to point out that the former mgmt group who sold us on this mine has made off like bandits and left us with nothing. Thanks local NB guys for that transition. Way to shaft your friends. This stock is a colossal POS.

Global mobile adspend doubles
14 August 2014
GLOBAL: Global mobile advertising revenues almost doubled in 2013 to reach $19.3bn according to new data.
Latest figures in the
Global Mobile Advertising Revenue study
, from the IAB Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence, IAB Europe and IHS Technology, show that mobile advertising revenue leapt 92%, with the greatest growth coming in Latin America, up 215%. North America increased 122% and Europe 90%.
Growth was more modest in Asia-Pacific, at 69%, and in the Middle-East and Africa, at 45%.
In terms of regional shares, North America's was the largest at 41.9%, worth $8,100m. Asia-Pacific was in second place on 38.9%, worth $7,525m. Then followed Europe on 17.3% ($3,346m), Middle East & Africa on 1.2% ($225m) and then Latin America on 0.7% ($144m)
"These powerhouse numbers directly reflect mobile's rapidly increasing role as a vital part of the marketing media mix," said Anna Bager, Vice President and General Manager, Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence, IAB. And she pointed to the operational efficiencies being enabled by programmatic buying as a particular spur to growth in the mobile display ad market.
Of the three categories of mobile advertising, display showed the highest growth at 123.4 %, followed by mobile search, up 92.1 %, and then messaging, up 19.4%.
The advance of search was attributed to increasing smartphone penetration and affordable data plans fuelling location-based search-on-the-go. Search remains the dominant segment representing 48.9% of the total global mobile advertising revenue, or $9.5bn. Display is close behind with a 41.5% share worth $8bn. Messaging is the minnow, with a 9.6% share worth $1.9bn.
"Businesses of all sizes are now able to engage their customers via mobile, demonstrating a clear opportunity for publishers to take advantage of," noted Townsend Feehan, CEO, IAB Europe.
But he added that many publishers still needed to hone their mobile advertising strategies. "Growth has been largely driven through in-app and native advertising whilst the delivery of a qualified audience at scale with demonstrable campaign impact is still a work-in-progress in some markets," he said.

The usually techno-utopian Joshua Kim is channeling our pal, MOOC skeptic Jonathan Rees! It's almost unbloglich! (I've jumped on Kim before and was kind of a jerk, but he was a thoroughly decent guy about it all, contacting me in a personal email.) In a post published yesterday at Inside Higher Ed, Kim reports that he was doing so well watching recorded lectures in three different MOOCs when Netflix released the entire new season of House of Cards recently, enabling Kim's penchant for immersive binge-watching. In "How House of Cards killed my MOOCing," Kim writes:
Access to media, from games to videos, is now as close as our smartphones.
The quality of compelling content available on our phones is only increasing.
House of Cards comes from Netflix. Amazon is releasing original programming. Some folks are lucky enough to have passwords to HBO Go accounts.
And this is only video. The real action is probably in mobile games and mobile social media platforms.
As higher education content migrates to our smartphones, as it surely will, this educational material will be competing with entertainment available on the very same platform.
The answer, of course, is that I was not really missing out on an education by missing out on my MOOCs.
An open online course is a wonderful thing for many many reasons, but participating in a MOOC is not the same thing as investing in an education. Continue reading

At Grassington, which is deep in the Yorkshire Dales National Park but not as high as Buckden and Kettlewell, the bats have a completely different social structure. Both male and female bats live with the young throughout the spring and summer in roosts in the stonework of the old Dales bridges and in holes in ash trees.
"Females may roost as high up the dale as Grassington because they have these warm, cuddly males to bunk up with. This way, females use less energy keeping warm and babies grow faster," Professor Altringham said. "In these marginal conditions, they may just tolerate a few males to keep them warm. Otherwise they kick them out. Why do the males co-habit if they are going to get parasites all over them? Well, that may be down to the usual answer: sex."
Although male and female Daubenton's bats usually live apart throughout the spring and summer, they meet when they begin flying to caves in late summer.
Professor Altringham said: "In and around these caves the bats gather in huge numbers to mate, in a behaviour known as swarming. This is clubbing for bats, with males displaying to females in lengthy acrobatic chases. As winter closes in, these caves will ultimately be their hibernation sites.
"There are nearly 2,000 cave entrances and hundreds of kilometres of cave passages in the Dales and these attract bats from all over Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and beyond for mating and hibernation. The males in Grassington may be giving themselves the opportunity to mate with the females late in the summer before they even get to the caves."
The researchers have built up a detailed picture of social and sexual behaviour by genotyping hundreds of individuals. The evidence gathered from this supports the theory that the Grassington ma

I read an ol' article on masking, but I'm still not too sure about the process or how it works.
Can anyone recommend good detailed literature or step-by-step CD/video on the process?
Lootens 8th Ed. that I have provides a chapter with details and pictures of the process. Chapter 12 on combination printing.
It details a the process of selecting negatives, making the masks, and determining exposure times.
You can find it at your library, or a dollar or two online as a used book. Not sure if there is an electronic copy available. Try google too.
Also, though I haven't gotten to that section yet, in Way beyond Monochrome, Cedar Falls section details masking for selective burning in.
Bruce Barnbaums book is great. Order it on his website. This is a small PDF with an introduction i have made:http://www.tmax100.com/photo/pdf/mak...largeprint.pdf
Lynn Radeyka has a kit/book and gives masking classes. I have the kit and went to a class; it was very informative.
then click the "Masking Kits" button on the left
My opinion, don't waste your time with Barnbaum's book (on any topic actually). It gives no detail or methodology on masking. If you want to learn about masking without necessarily taking a workshop, Lynn Radeka's kits (which also include information compiled from others such as Mark Jilg and Dennis McNutt) have good explanations and step by step techniques. Howard Bond's articles are also a good source. For selective masking (pencil shading etc) Alan Ross is a great source. There are of course master printers such as John Sexton who teach masking but it's part of their workshops.
Dear PhotoBob,
Post Exposure has a detailed description of contrast masking (unsharp mask).
Neal Wydra
Does anybody know if Radeka sells or distributes the articles without having to purchase the kit? I have the equipment, but I am interested in the information.
The "kit" is actually just the printed material. It doesn't include equipment/hardware unless you add that stuff to your order. I bought just the kit. It's all available on Lynn's website: maskingkits.com. After I bought the literature I decided I wanted to buy a few hardware odds and ends (registration pins), but not a full registration carrier kit. I contacted him and he sold me the pieces I needed. He's very helpful and graciously answered my follow-up questions too.
