Wine Ingredient Kits |
A typical wine kit contains only a few ingredients: A bag of sterile grape concentrate or juice, yeast and a few additives are all you need to make the wine. Not all kits have the same additives. Wines that are not typically oaked will not include oak chips but there are common additives included in all wine kits like bentonite, stabilizers and a fining agent. Wines that are not "dry" will include a sweetener pack to add later in process, usually in stage #3.Kits also contains easy to follow instructions.
To view the instructions for all the kit kits we sell, click here.
Stabilizers & Preservatives
Stabilizers and preservatives prepare wine for aging by killing off unwanted yeast that can spoil wine over time.
Potassium or Sodium Metabisulfite
Used as a sulfite in winemaking, metabisulfite prevents oxidation which causes browning of the must (unfermented wine). Metabisulfite also inhibits bacteria and wild yeast which can spoil wine and turn it to vinegar. Many wine drinkers feel that sulfite can cause headaches and try to avoid wines with excessive amounts of sulfite. Though there isn't any scientific evidence to support this, winemaking kits contains very small amounts compared to commercial wines. It is very important to add the metabisulfite to wine kits or you risk spoilage of your wine.
Potassium Sorbate (sorbic acid)
Potassium sorbate, commonly referred to as sorbate, prevents renewed fermentation in sweet wines and inhibits reproduction of molds and yeast. Combined with the sulfite in the kit, it helps ensure the wine stays stable in the bottle during storage.
Fining Agents Fining agents are used to clear wine of cloudiness and particles before bottling. You should never bottle wine that is not completely clear. It will not clear in the bottle.
Bentonite (montmorillonite) Bentonite is a type of clay. It is a primary fining agent for wine but also be added to clear juice or must prior to pitching the yeast to speed the onset of fermentation.
Colloidal Silica (kieselsol) A solution of silicon dioxide in water suspension, colloidal silica was invented to replace tannin, which used to be a popular fining agent. It can be used alone but is more commonly used in conjunction with gelatin.
Gelatin A positively charged fining agent, it can be used alone or in conjunction with colloidal silica and is usually found in liquid form when included in a wine kit. The most powerful of the organic fining agents, gelatin can also remove tannins and coloring particles. Do no exceed the recommended dosage or you could significantly lighten the color of your wine.
Isinglass (icthyocolle) A positively charged fining agent like gelatin, isinglass is extremely gentle and usually won't strip wine of color and aroma. Derived from the powdered swim bladder of fish, it is usually dissolved in liquid suspension.
Oaking Alternatives
Oak introduces desirable flavors and aromas into wine, including vanilla, smoke and wood-like flavors, all associated with high-quality, barrel aged wines.
In kits, powdered oak is usually added at the beginning of a fermentation and gives a smooth oak character and a subtle vanilla finish. Chipped oak is often added after fermentation is complete and adds a "woody" character.

Published September 1, 1994.
In search of the best pie dough recipe, we found that all-butter crusts have good taste, but they are not as flaky and fine-textured as those made with some shortening. All-shortening crusts have great texture but lack flavor. We experimented with a variety of combinations and ultimately settled on a proportion of 3 parts butter to 2 parts shortening as optimal for both flavor and texture. You can make a pie dough recipe by hand, but the food processor is faster and easier and does the best job of cutting the fat into the flour.
The following pie dough is one in a series for different size pies. When rolling out the dough, roll to a thickness of about 1/8-inch thick (about the thickness of two quarters).
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).
Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I'm pretty confident that CooksIllustrated.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from quick, weeknight suppers to huge, holiday feasts for family and friends.

Cricket Titanium Tourmaline 450 Styling Iron
Cricket Titanium Tourmaline 450 Styling Iron features rounded plate edges and variable temperature control up to 450 degrees for a variety of hair types and multiple styling options.
Mar 4, 2013
The Bestest!!!!!!!!!
I HIGHTLY recommend this item. I have a Cricket flat iron , I received as a gift about 13 years ago. My daughter and I both used and about a year ago the liner on the blade started to slowly peel off. I tried every other brand of flat iron, but took them right back the next day. I was on a mission to get another Cricket. I came across this wed site and had to order this one. I received on Saturday and my daughter who slept with a bun, woke up and tried the iron. One swipe and done, took her about 10 mins to flat iron her hair. THE BEST FLAT IRON OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!

Professional Use, Amazing Results! The Other Pros Just Dont Know...
Granted I have only had this flat iron for about 2 months, but it is the best I have ever used!
I am talking smooooth glide, one quick pass and you have smooth silky, shiny, straight undamaged hair!!! On all hair types! I tried it first on my natural blonde hair, fairly easily damaged, and I was impressed at its performance! NO snagging or sticking, smooth glide, quick 1 pass, with great curls and beautiful results, where every other flat iron I have used, no matter how expensive, has not come close. So I took it to work, even more amazing! Its performance is outstanding on all hair types, including very tight ethnic hair, without any damage. Temp adjusts up to 450, although I have not had it above 420, even on very tight ethnic hair,. It has a 30 second heat up which also means it keeps a much more consistent temperature throughout service. It has rounded edge plates so it curls and flips with a twist of the wrist! For now it is my best unknown secret! It feels solid, so if it holds up to time and use,...which I have a feeling it will... I has my vote over chi, babyliss, solia, ghd, salon tech, croc........

Super Fast Flat Iron
I used to take 30 minuted to straighten my naturally curly hair but since I got this new iron it only takes less than 20 minutes.
This iron gets hot instantly and takes me less time than the CHI I used to use. I was reluctant to buy it because of the lower price but am so glad I did, I won't use anything else!

:)love It!
This flat iron gets the job done and fast! One pass is enough on my relaxed hair. It goes up to 450 degrees which is great for straightening or curling a weave!I don't use 450 on my real hair...I do not really like the smell that comes from it but I manage and i am sure most or all flat irons do that. The lower the degree the least significant the smell! It heats up in only 21 seconds instead the 30 that is stated.

I owned another Cricket flat iron before the ceramic chipped. When I used this one for the first time I was amazed. It heats in seconds. Plus with my long hair it was straight in five minutes tops! Love this.

Perl dropped and Go adopted due to concurrency issues in baconbird
I'm curious to see what you write. If you don't mind, this Reddit commenter had some concerns about the event programming approach (The discussion was regarding Node.js and the commenter's event programming experience is in C++). If it turns out to be relevant to what you end up writing, you might address these concerns.

Deprecated modules warn when they are used
I unsuccessfully tried to use this module to mark my non-core module as deprecated. Yes, this module was created for core-modules only, but why? I have found no simple and obvious way to mark arbitrary modules as deprecated, so far. Stumbling upon this module, I expected something like this:
package SomeDeprecatedModule; use deprecated (instead => 'BetterModule');
Aristotle commented on
Deprecated modules warn when they are used
warn __PACKAGE__, " is deprecated. Please use Better::Module instead.\n" unless state $have_warned++;
brian d foy commented on
Deprecated modules warn when they are used
I thought that was weird too, but I think the point of deprecated is to remove things from core. They might be perfectly fine and still supported, just not a part of Perl.
Many authors, including me, have been lazy about specifying core dependencies because we always thought they'd be there. Now we'll get warnings about that, but only for core modules.

Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My goal in research is to understand the interaction between environmental change and biological evolution using fossils and the sedimentary rock record. How does environmental change influence evolutionary and ecological processes? And conversely, how do evolutionary and ecological changes affect the physical environment? I am focused primarily on finding answers to these questions on two timescales: 1) the timescale of catastrophic extinction events and their immediate aftermaths (up to a few million years); and 2) the timescale of geological periods and eras (tens to hundreds of millions of years). My research combines macro-scale, field-based work on the stratigraphy and paleontology of carbonate platforms with micro-scale, laboratory-based work on the petrography and geochemistry of individual limestone samples and mineral phases. In addition to field and laboratory study, I also compile literature-based data and use theoretical models to help constrain interpretation of field-based data and to determine the extent to which local biotic patterns reflect global processes.

Two good decisions Judge and jury get it right
Two sensible legal decisions came out of Manchester last week. Both are worthy of note.
In one case, a county superior court jury of his peers found a man guilty of violating the state's telephone taping law. The law says you cannot tape a telephone call unless you inform the other party to the call.
That law and similar ones in other states are why many business calls begin with a script that says the call may be recorded for "quality assurance." We don't know about the quality, but we do know that the script is written to put you on notice that you are being taped.
The defendant tried to claim that he had notified police and Manchester High School West's principal of his taping when he phoned them concerning a videotape his group had made of an arrest at the school. He had not done so.
He then claimed that public officials in the performance of their duties are not covered by the law. Perhaps they should not be. (In fact police attempts to charge people for openly videotaping police actions have been dismissed as unconstitutional.)
But secretly recording a phone conversation is not exactly the same as openly recording someone. It has the whiff of entrapment. So while we beg to differ with the high school principal's claim that she is not a public figure, we think the jury got this one right.
As did Circuit Court Judge William Lyons in ruling that a city park curfew did not impede the rights of "Occupy NH" protesters.
Such curfews are designed to keep parks open and orderly and available to all. Parks were not meant to be turned into semi-permanent residential camps.
Manchester officials were right to boot out the protesters when they did, as opposed to the wimps in New York City, Boston, and elsewhere. And Judge Lyons was sane and sensible in his ruling that the protesters were far from exhausting all the law-abiding channels they could have used to make known their grievances.

Ph (225) 342-2176 Fax (225) 342-2142 firstname.lastname@example.com
An eight-week (320 hour) BOARD APPROVED preceptorship is a REQUIREMENT FOR LICENSURE IN LOUISIANA. This is not the same as an externship or internship done through your school of veterinary medicine. This is a real licensing requirement. It is not just a paperwork "formality". Plan to take this requirement seriously. Our program has very specific guidelines and paperwork requirements. It may be quicker to use your intended employer as a preceptor. This is NOT legal in Louisiana unless the employer is approved by this Board as a preceptorship host practice AND you register with the Board office as a preceptee FIRST. Any person who performs surgery, makes a diagnosis, prognosis, or prescribes mediations or appliances in Louisiana is practicing veterinary medicine. To legally practice veterinary medicine in Louisiana, you must have a license to practice or be registered as a preceptee with the LOUISIANA BOARD. If you are not registered with us then you must have a Louisiana license to provide these services. Direct supervision is NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR BOARD APPROVAL (see Rules 702 and 1031 of the Louisiana Veterinary Practice Act). We will be happy to answer your questions about this requirement and help you select the most appropriate option. Please call us as early as possible to avoid a delay in obtaining your license.

TU women rally but fall to Stephen F. Austin
BY Staff Reports
Monday, December 31, 2012
12/31/12 at 5:48 AM
Tulsa battled back from a double-digit deficit at halftime but fell short in a 73-69 loss to Stephen F. Austin on Sunday in women's college basketball in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Taleya Mayberry set a new career high with 33 points for the Golden Hurricane (4-8).
"It just goes back to the fact that we didn't play hard enough in the first 20 minutes," TU head coach Matilda Mossman said. "We have to be a 40-minute team."
Kelsee Grovey added 10 points for TU, while Tiffani Couisnard and Loren McDaniel each scored eight. McDaniel also pulled down a team-best 15 rebounds, while Couisnard added 10 boards.
SFA led for nearly the entire first half and went into intermission with a 37-26 lead. However, the Hurricane scored the first 11 points of the second half to tie the contest at 37-all with 17:07 remaining. The teams traded runs over the next few minutes before SFA built a seven-point lead with 7:06 to play, and TU was unable to make up all of that deficit.

(Self) Portrait
July 15, 2012 in PvdH's #todayimwearing
(Self) Portrait. Us bloggers may be well-known for self-portraits, commonly referred in the blogosphere as GPOYs (Gratuitous Picture Of Yourself). But let me tell you how during the past few months I have begun a more serious affair with photography.
Yeah yeah, so I may have bought my more 'serious' cameras last year (a Leica and a Nikon SLR), but it wasn't until my move to Mexico that I have really begun to experiment with the more 'serious stuff'. You know, the little things called aperture, exposure, ISO… Once upon a time I used to simply just 'tune-out' at the mere mention of such things (when dropped casually into a conversation by a photographer-friend).
The irony? That throughout my life I have spent countless hours in labour-intensive artistic work (drawing, painting, sewing…heck, even sculpting). But my perpetual excuse to avoid photography was that "I didn't have the patience for it".
So I suppose it is just one more thing which the blog (and the oh-so-visual world I entered as a result of it) has led me to. I have had the pleasure of discovering one more artistic branch I now love, and hopefully the photographs in The PvdH Journal will continue to improve as I learn more with time.

Translation of a post on the French forum:
At the last news, all is going well for Lama Shenphen Rinpoche. The small group is still for the time being in Sera-Jhe. Rinpoche will go to Nepal early January, before to come back to Slovenia.
The quater in Sera-Jhe to which Rinpoche is connected from the past (Chadrel Khamtsen, 500 monks, the second largest quater in Sera-Jhe) has organised the enthronement ceremony few days back. This ceremony follows the one which took place in Tibet in 2003. Rinpoche is therefore now also a Lama officially registered in Sera-Jhe.
(photos will come when Ven. Lodrö will be back from India)
May all these links, connections, and reconnections help as many sentient beings as possible to reach Enlightenment!
Thank you.

Take Flight
nytheatre.com review by Lynn Marie Macy
May 18, 2010
The final moment of the new musical Take Flight sent chills up my spine with its harmonious beauty and theatrical depth. It honestly brought a tear to my eye, which caught me off guard because for the most part I had not been emotionally engaged in the production to that point. But I desperately wanted to be engaged in every way because there is so much to admire about this American premiere.
Take Flight is an ambitious musical melding of the lives and achievements of Orville and Wilbur Wright, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart. The greatest challenge for the show's creative team is that with three distinct stories to craft, little time is allotted to detailed character development. The male characters, in particular suffer under this constraint. Human beings are more than their accomplishments and likewise here these characters are more than their "obsessions." The greatest challenge for the audience is to follow three separate plotlines as they bounce between three different periods of time and different theatrical conventions. This is a singularly American saga presented in a uniquely American art form. But while Take Flight is not always successful moment to moment, I nonetheless found this original evening interesting, exciting, and loaded with potential.
The cast is extraordinary. Stanton Nash as Wilbur and Benjamin Schrader as Orville hit the right note and give credibility to the Wright Brothers, particularly springing to life in the second act and injecting much needed humor to the proceedings.
Claybourne Elder makes a dashing and determined Charles Lindbergh very much the hero of legend one would love to cheer on to greatness. But I couldn't help wishing he had a more unique and profound signature song that was all his own.
Jenn Colella is a delightfully spunky and strong Amelia Earhart who makes the most of the best musical numbers in the show. Michael Cumpsty is earnest and appealing as Earhart's publicist and husband George Putnam. His genuine concern for her welfare rings true and comes closest to exploring the emotional toll paid by the human sacrifices made in pursuit of aviation history.
William Youmans, Price Waldman, Bobby Day, Todd A. Horman, Marya Grandy, Linda Gabler, and Carey Rebecca Brown make an excellent ensemble excelling in numerous smaller roles and, if anything, are under-used in this production.
Set and costumes by David Farley are magnificent and perfectly evocative of an early 20th century, although the suspended "cockpits" for Charles and Amelia felt a bit awkward and the performers seemed somewhat uncomfortable in them.
The book by John Weidman and lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. focus heavily on the main characters' obsessions for achievement, sometimes to the detriment of the storyline, making the first act in particular feel rather repetitive and one note (so to speak). The music and orchestrations by David Shire are rich and musically complex but at times lack a certain variety. However, the numbers "Throw it to the Wind," "Before the Dawn," "Better than Love," "The Funniest Thing," and the "Finale" are worth the price of admission.
Director Sam Buntrock and musical stager Lisa Shriver give us some inventive staging, combining realism and theatricality in a way that leaves one wanting even more creativity to fuse these three thematically related stories into one unique cohesive story of Flight. Wonderful moments that stand out in this respect are in the second act when Earhart speaks to Lindbergh through time and space to inspire him not to quit and the fabulous way Earhart, Lindbergh, and the Wright Brothers symbolically come together in the Finale.
I recommend Take Flight for anyone wishing to exercise his or her imagination and experience something different and more inventive than your typical formulaic musical production. As this is the American premiere, it is my hope that the creative team will continue to develop this deserving and delightful work in the future. Take Flight continues its run at the McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, New Jersey through June 6th. The McCarter is just across the street from the train station, making it an easy trip for anyone wanting expand their theatrical horizons.

India's industrial production declined unexpectedly in June, marking the third decline in four months, amid persistent weakness in the domestic economy and lower external demand due to the global slowdown.
Production in the industrial sector dropped 1.8 percent annually in June, the Central Statistics Office said Thursday. The decline, which followed an upwardly revised 2.5 percent growth in May, was in contrast to the 0.3 percent growth economists had forecast.
Output in the manufacturing sector was 3.2 percent lower compared to June 2011, hurt by a 56 percent slump in the electrical machinery and apparatus segment.
Industrial activity in Asia's third largest economy is widely expected to weaken in the coming months as economic growth, which slowed to a near 10-year low in the March quarter, continues to be sluggish.
The Reserve Bank of India sees 6.5 percent growth for 2012-13. The central bank expects the slower global growth as well as a likely slowdown in service sector expansion to possibly act as a drag on the economy.
A slew of banks and brokerages have cut their forecast for India's economic growth this week on drought concerns due to the weak monsoon. Earlier today, Moody's Analytics slashed India's GDP outlook for 2013 to 6 percent from 6.2 percent, citing policy inaction and poor monsoon. The forecast for 2012 was cut to 5.5 percent.
Yesterday, Citigroup and CLSA downgraded their view of the country's growth for the current fiscal year to 5.4 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively. The research wing of Indian rating agency CRISIL trimmed its growth forecast for 2012-13 on Tuesday to 5.5 percent from 6.5 percent.
Capital goods recorded a 27.9 percent fall in June, while output of intermediate goods moved up 1.6 percent year-on-year. Consumer goods production advanced 3.5 percent.
The mining and quarrying sector posted a 0.6 percent output growth during the month, while electricity production gained 8.8 percent.
In the six months ended June, overall production was lower by 0.1 percent compared to the same period of 2011, with mining and manufacturing production falling by 1.1 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively.
Underscoring the weakness in the industrial sector, the latest purchasing managers survey showed that India's manufacturing sector expended at a slower pace in July, with output growing at the weakest pace in eight months.
The Reserve Bank of India last month kept its policy interest rates unchanged at 8 percent in an effort to maintain inflation under control.

Les Miserables Plot Summary
Preview of Les Miserables Summary:
Les Miserables is the story of four people, Bishop Myriel, Jean Valjean, Fantine, and Marius Pontmercy, who meet, part, then meet again during the most agitated decades of nineteenth-century France. It also tells the story of the 1832 revolution and describes the unpleasant side of Paris. The novel is in essence a plea for humane treatment of the poor and for equality among all citizens.

One day a strange man asks for shelter at his home and, With his usual compassion, the bishop gives him room and board.

(318): I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there is no fucking way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap around the rock and leave it immobile? Why can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors why can't paper so this to people!? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody! A rock would tear that sh!t up in like 2 seconds. When I play rock paper scissors I always choose rock. The when somebody claims to have beaten me with paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, "oh shit I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, you asshole!"
(1-318): I love you.
(1-318): I love you.

Active Standard ASTM F2955 Developed by Subcommittee: F32.03 |Book of Standards Volume: 13.02
4.1 This guide establishes a minimum standard for training rope rescuers as it relates to their rope rescue specific knowledge and skills. A person trained to this guide is an endorsed Level III Rope Rescuer (LRT-R3 Rescuer).
4.1.1 Every person who is identified as an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer shall have met the requirements of this guide.
4.1.2 This guide is only the third level of training for rope rescue personnel and, in conjunction with Guides F2209, F2751, F2752, and F2954, only establishes the minimum knowledge and skills required for a person to perform or lead advanced rope rescue. No other advanced skills are included or implied.
4.1.3 In addition to meeting the requirements of this guide, an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer shall also be adequately trained to operate effectively and safely in the environment in which he is expected to work (that is, wilderness, urban, industrial, and so forth).
4.1.4 Nothing in this guide precludes an AHJ from adding additional requirements for its own members.
4.2 Endorsement to Level III Rope Rescue (LRT-R3 Rescuer) is an indication that a person possesses adequate field skills and knowledge to make mission-critical decisions. A person so endorsed is qualified to support or direct a rope rescue team in an area with high fall exposure and/or falling hazard potential, including high angle environments.
4.3 This guide by itself is not a complete training document. It is only an outline of the topics required for training or evaluating an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer. It may, however, be used in the development of, or as part of, a complete training document or program.
4.3.1 This guide does not stand alone. It must be used with the referenced documents to provide the specific information needed by an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer or for an AHJ to properly evaluate a training program or text.
4.4 Though this guide establishes only minimum standards, it does not imply that an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer is a "trainee," "probationary," or other similar term member of an organization. It is the responsibility of the AHJ to determine the requirements and qualifications for member ratings.
4.5 Because technical rope rescue is inherently dangerous, and rope rescuers are frequently required to perform rigorous activities in adverse conditions, regional and national safety standards shall be included in agency and organization policies and procedures. An endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer shall complete all activities based on an analysis of risk versus benefit, and shall follow applicable and mandated safety standards.
4.6 This guide can be used to evaluate a document to determine if its content includes the topics necessary for training an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer. Likewise, this guide can be used to evaluate an existing training program to see if it meets the requirements of this guide.
4.7 The knowledge and skills requirements in the following sections are not presented in any particular order and do not represent a training sequence.
4.8 Except where a physical skill needs to be shown, it is up to the AHJ to determine the best way to evaluate a person's knowledge. This may be by written exam, oral exam, demonstration, or by some combination of the three.
1. Scope
1.1 This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with, and as an add-on to, Guides F2751, F2752, and F2954 (or equivalent for other environments), to address the specific knowledge and skills required for a rescuer who participates in rope rescue at a higher level of responsibility and complexity.
1.1.1 Specifically, this guide is intended to define the training that would prepare an endorsed Level III Rope Rescuer (LRT-R3) or equivalent to support or direct a team in advanced rope rescue functions, including pre-planning and size-up of rope rescue operations, designing and directing the construction of rope systems for moving a victim in low and high angle environments, directing the construction and operation of highline and related rope systems, and performing advanced rope rigging functions, in conjunction with other rescue duties.
1.1.2 This guide establishes the minimum training standard for an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer as related to general, field, and rope rescue-specific knowledge and skills.
1.2 An endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer performs rope rescues in low and high angle terrain and is capable of directing LRT-R1 and LRT-R2 Rescuers.
1.2.1 This guide alone does not provide the minimum training requirements for performing or assisting in rescues that occur in partially or fully collapsed structures, in or on water, in confined spaces, or underground (such as in caves, mines, and tunnels).
1.2.2 This guide alone does not provide the minimum training requirements for climbing Class 5 or higher rock and/or ice to perform a rescue.
1.3 An endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer is required to have knowledge and skill sets pertaining to technically advanced subject evacuation. These include but are not limited to advanced knots and rigging, functioning as a litter tender in a high angle lowering or raising operation, and directing a team in the rescue of a subject suspended in a high angle environment.
1.4 Type III teams, as defined in Classification F1993, which may utilize personnel trained to this guide are Kind A (wilderness), Kind B (urban), and Kind C (mountainous).
1.4.1 Further training may be required before an endorsed LRT-R3 Rescuer can actually participate on a particular kind of rope rescue team, depending on the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) regulations or policies.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

We've been dealing with some issues with our oldest, Maverick. Mainly, backtalking, defiance, and WHINING. Oh, that "nails on a chalkboard", "Dear Lord, where the heck are my earplugs?" type of whining that makes steam shoot out of my ears. I can't stand whining. Period.
The poor kid's constantly in time out.
Anyways, I'm browsing Pinterest one day and come across this pin.
One of the ideas was a "Corrections Can".
Here's my take on it with a super short tute.
Consequence Can
What you need:
Can of some sort with a lid
Scrapbook paper and/or cardstock
Spray Adhesive
Creative list of consequences
Step 1: Cut your paper to fit around the can. Glue it on with spray adhesive.
Step 2: Make your label with either stickers or on the computer. Glue it on.
Step 3: Type or write out your consequences. I put in small chores, loss of screen time, and the good old stand-by, time out. I also put in a blank one. I think it's important to show our kids grace and mercy from time to time to be a picture of God's grace towards us.
Step 4: Put it where your kid can see it.
Now, I'm not sure how well this will work, but I'm willing to try anything. This parenting stuff is kinda tricky.
Thanks for stopping by!

Steve Nash dribbles past the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry during a game in Oakland. (Marcio Jose Sanchez / Associated Press / December 22, 2012) |
The Lakers had one of their best nights of the season on Wednesday -- while taking the day off.
In ninth place in the Western Conference standings, the Lakers (28-30) need some help if they are to catch at least one of three teams ahead of them: the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets.
The Rockets (31-28) fell in Houston on Wednesday after Monta Ellis of the Milwaukee Bucks nailed a wild buzzer-beating three-pointer for a 110-107 win.
The Jazz (31-27) were beaten soundly by the Atlanta Hawks, 102-91, losing their eighth game at home.
Despite a stunning 54 points from Stephen Curry, the Warriors lost in New York to the Knicks, 109-105. Curry hit 11 of 13 three-point shots but it wasn't enough.
The Lakers currently trail Houston by 2 1/2 games, Utah by three and the Warriors by five.
The Lakers still play the Warriors twice before the end of the regular season. They'll also host the Rockets in their final game of the season. The Jazz series is complete, with Utah owning the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Of course, the Lakers need to win at a high rate to have a chance at eighth place or better. They'll host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday and the Hawks on Sunday.
