I mixed motifs and scale... the mixing of scale was more of an accident, I admit. I used rounded paisley, circles (to mimic the fabric) and echo quilting of squares in 9 of the squares and again in the border. This quilt was constructed by a friend of mine as a gift for another friend who is undergoing chemotherapy. Stitched on my tin lizzie (very old, used machine)

POTSDAM - A weekend sweep on the road by the womens volleyball team highlighted the SUNY Potsdam fall sports teams efforts last week.
The volleyball team continued their winning ways by picking up two more victories in Newbury, Mass., on Saturday.
The Bears (11-10 overall, 3-0 SUNYAC) have now won five of its last six matches.
Both on Saturday came in a flash as Potsdam efficiently completed sweeps against Daniel Webster College (25-12, 25-10, 25-19) and host Newbury (25-9, 25-5, 25-14) to march through in about two hours of playing time.
Liza Fields (Duanesburg, N.Y.) had 11 kills, Sara Anderson (Lake George, N.Y.) had 10 kills and Lauren Manzo (Clovis, Calif.) led with a team-high 26 assists and Jenna Blujus (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) had 10 digs in the Daniel Webster match. Freshman Sarah Becker (Troy, N.Y.) had her second-highest output of kills with seven.
The Bears really spread it around in the Newbury match as six different players accounted for at least four kills (Blujus, Anderson, Becker, Manzo, Sharon Ofori, and Whitney Coyle) Coyles five kills were a single-game career high. Manzo led once again in assists with 19 while Blujus led all Bears with 10 digs.
The Potsdam womens soccer team split a pair of SUNYAC matches over the weekend by losing 3-0 at SUNY Cortland on Friday and then bounced back with a 2-0 at Oswego on Saturday.
The Bears (4-6-1, 1-2 SUNYAC) got goals from freshman forward Hailey Hollenbeck (Hudson, N.Y.) and sophomore midfielder Jess Sterns (Henrietta, N.Y.) to defeat Oswego State (7-4-1, 2-2) 2-0 on the road on Saturday.
Bears freshman goalie Michaela Cole (Parishville, N.Y.) made nine saves for her first collegiate shutout.
Potsdam made the most of its shots in the first half. Hollenbeck scored on the Bears first shot of the contest at 20:50. Less than four minutes later Sterns doubled Potsdams advantage. Cole stopped all four shots she faced in the first half.
The Lakers increased their pressure in the second half, taking the first 12 shots, but Cole and Potsdams defense held. Oswego never let up, but couldnt solve Cole as she added five more stops to her total to seal the Bears victory. Oswego goalie Ayssa Glasshagel finished with just one save.
SUNY Cortland (5-5, 2-1 SUNYAC) scored a late first half goal and held off the Bears (6-5, 0-2) 1-0 at Maxcy Hall Turf Field on Friday afternoon.
The play was fairly even in the first half, but Cortland had the better chances. Nearly 12 minutes in, senior forward Bryan Merlos (Harrison, N.Y.) directed a Red Dragon free kick to the left of the goal off the crossbar. However, Potsdam cleared the ball out of harms way. In the 24th minute, Cortland junior midfielder Thomas Nocito (Burnt Hills, N.Y.) caught a long pass and slipped past a Bear defender.
Potsdam senior goalie Stefan Sloma (Niskayuna, N.Y.) charged out and blocked the shot. About 10 minutes later, Red Dragon forward Dillon Johnson (Northport, N.Y.) used his speed on the outside of the field to break free.
Again, Sloma came out to meet him and Johnson fired the ball of the post. Potsdams best opportunity came off a shot from sophomore forward Stephen Auyer (Oswego, N.Y.) earlier in the period. Cortland junior goalie Tim Beauvais (Hilton, N.Y.) made the save, redirecting the ball with his hands and the Red Dragons cleared it from their end. Cortland finally broke through with just 17 seconds left in the period, as Johnson finished a pass from junior defender Darren McCormack (Dublin, Ireland).
Sloma finished with six saves in his first career start.
On Saturday, Potsdam rallied for a 1-1 tie with Oswego State (0-8-2, 0-2-1) on Saturday afternoon at Maxcy Turf Field. Junior forward Eduardo Figueroa (Rochester, N.Y) scored the Bears lone goal.
Potsdam created some offensive pressure early in the contest, but was unable to draw first blood. The Bears best opportunity of the half came off the foot of sophomore midfielder Kyle Cronin (Henrietta, N.Y.). Just over 23 minutes into the contest, Cronin banged a shot off the crossbar. Seconds later, Lakers senior forward Mike Naab (Ontario, N.Y.) finished a pass from sophomore midfielder Patrick Sprague (Spencerport, N.Y.) for a 1-0 lead at 23:35. Potsdam outshot Oswego 6-3 in the first 45 minutes, but trailed 1-0 at the break.
The Bears ramped up the offense in the second half and the aggressive play paid off. At the 53:42 mark, Figueroa was brought down in the box and awarded a penalty kick. He then buried his shot in the left side of the net past diving Oswego freshman goalie Jon Runge (Cicero, N.Y.) to tie the score. Potsdam continued to hover around the Laker goal after the score, but couldnt grab the lead in regulation.
The SUNY Potsdam mens golf team concluded its season in the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Mid Atlantic Championship qualifier at the Blue Heron Hills Country Club in Macedon on Sunday.
The Bears placed seventh out of nine teams with a team score of 644. Sophomore and No. 2 player Conor Talty (Fairport, N.Y.) had the top score for Potsdam with a 75-76-151 to rank tied for 12th overall among individual players.
No. 4 Bears player Kevin Doherty (Amherst, N.Y.) shot an 83-80-163 while sophomore John Hickey (Au Sable Forks, N.Y.) carded a 78-86-164.
Sophomore Daniel Kurtz (Livonia, N.Y.) showed marked improvement on day two by firing a 78 one day after shooting a 93 to finish with a 171.
And, senior Harrison Davenport (Auburn, N.Y.) also fared much better on day two with an 81 after shooting a 96 on day one to close out with a 177.
Lauren Manzo (Clovis, Calif.) broke new individual ground on her way to help guide the Bears volleyball team to a couple of road victories on Saturday.
The senior recorded a single-game season-high 26 assists and six digs in helping sweep Daniel Webster College 25-12, 25-10, 25-19.
Manzo also set a new high water mark for aces in a single game with six and she added a team-high 19 assists in aiding the sweep of Newbury 25-9, 25-5, 25-14.
Sophomore and No. 2 player Conor Talty (Fairport, N.Y.) had the top score for the Potsdam golf team with a 75-76-151 to rank tied for 12th overall among individual players in the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Mid Atlantic Championship qualifier at the Blue Heron Hills Country Club in Macedon on Sunday.
The volleyball team will return home to Maxcy Field House and host SUNY Geneseo on Friday at 5 p.m. and then Plattsburgh State at 10 a.m. and Fredonia State at 3 p.m. on Saturday in three SUNYAC games.
The womens soccer team will host two SUNYAC games this weekend beginning on Friday against SUNY New Paltz at 4 p.m. and then on Saturday versus Oneonta at 1 p.m.
The mens soccer team hits the road for two SUNYAC games starting with a 4 p.m. contest with SUNY New Paltz on Friday and then on Saturday at Oneonta at 1 p.m.
The mens and womens cross country teams will take back to the course Saturday starting at 11 a.m. in the SLU Hoffman Invitational in Canton.

The Bank of England is expected to freeze its £325bn stimulus programme, signalling it is more concerned about high inflation than Britain's return to recession.
LONDON — Britain's economy shrank more than expected at the end of 2012 with a North Sea oil production slump, lower factory output and a hangover from London's Olympics pushing it perilously close to a "triple-dip" recession.
The country's gross domestic product fell 0.3% in the fourth quarter, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday, sharper than a 0.1% decline forecast by analysts.
The Bank of England will keep interest rates at a record low 0.50 percent and opt against expanding its stimulus plans until the new year despite ongoing eurozone turmoil, analysts said.The BoE's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) begins a two-day meet on Wednesday amid fears over the impact of the eurozone debt crisis on the flagging British economy, which is also buckling under state austerity and high inflation.

It's been more than a year since MegaUpload was shut down and, while Kim Dotcom & co. are now closer to making their case in a court of law, the raid has been a massive success for the media companies that ordered it.
Not only was MegaUpload – one of the largest pirate havens – gone, but many other cyberlockers and even some BitTorrent sites also took this as a cue to either shut down or change their business.
RapidShare of today has little in common with the RapidShare of a few years ago and it's hardly the only example.
MediaFire is one of the biggest file sharing sites around, but it's taking some interesting measures to make sure it doesn't suffer the same fate as MegaUpload, especially considering that it's a US company.
The site has been very proactive in taking down infringing links, it scans any audio and video file uploaded against a database of known copyrighted works.
If it finds something that could be infringing, it removes any link to it and, a recent change, it adds a link to buy the content in question. Infringing files aren't deleted, since it's legal for users to backup their music or DVDs, but they can't be shared publicly.

Save the Mums!
If your mums are already in the ground then you have it easy. Just clip the dead growth back to 3-5 inches and cover with a good layer of mulch over winter. In the spring when new growth starts keep the branches pinched back to 6 inches or so until the middle of July or a little later if you live in warmer climates. Pinching the mums creates lateral branches for a fuller, more robust plant. If your plants are in pots find a good sheltered location in your yard and put them in the ground. Then follow the steps for an in ground mum. When new growth starts in the spring pot it up again in a large pot and follow the previously mentioned pinching procedures! You may want to trim a couple roots to initiate new root growth.
You might ask why did I choose to mention this? Two days ago I saw a person in our neighborhood dispose of 6-7 potted mums in the trash. I was very tempted to go through their trash to save the mums but just could bring myself to actually go through someone else's trash. They should have at least composted them! Just dumping them in an unused corner of the yard would be enough to make a little compost and save a few cubic feet of landfill space. Don't let good mums go bad, save the mums!
1 comment :
You should have asked the neighbor for the mums. I am sure he would have been happy to give them to you. I have gotten the best plants this way and am never shy about "rescuing" abused plants.lolReplyDelete
I make cuttings from my mums all summer and the little guys actually bloom the same year! I will have a garden full of mums before too long.

I write smut for a living. I write the stuff that, if done properly, will make the reader need some alone time to take care of urges.
But it's not entirely who I am. I am a wife, a mother, a homeschooling parent, and a leader in my community. I am a blogger, and a from-scratch cook. I am a friend, I am someone that people call when they are confused or have problems. I am someone that is always available to watch a friend's kids at the last minute.
But that's not it, either. I'm a liberal. I'm staunchly pro gay-rights, I'm an atheist, and I'm feminist. I'm strong, I'm a survivor, and I'm intelligent.
But that's not all there is to me. I was an English major with a focus on creative writing in college. I read to escape and I write to process. My husband knows whether I'm depressed, overwhelmed, or just chilling based on the author I'm reading. I have great conversations about Kafka and Bronte and Hardy with my fellow lit-geek girlfriends.
When I go into my office to write, I set aside my real name and my real issues. I put on my headphones, put on my pouty lips, and become whoever I want to be. Without my secret identity, I could never reveal this super awesome part of myself.
I write the stories that turn you on. What's your superpower?

|- FLSA Section 14(c) Advisor
Determining Special Minimum Wage (SMW) Rates for Workers with Disabilities Under FLSA Section 14(c)
Employers who have obtained authorizing certificates from the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division may pay special minimum wages (SMWs) to workers with disabilities whose productive and earning capacities are impaired for the work being performed.
An SMW is always less than the minimum wage established by the FLSA or, where applicable, the prevailing wage required by a McNamara-OHara Service Contract Act (SCA) wage determination.
An SMW must also be a commensurate wage, based on the individual productivity of the worker with a disability (no matter how limited) in proportion to the productivity of experienced workers who do not have disabilities that impact their productivity when performing essentially the same work in the same vicinity.
There are several steps that an employer must take in order to determine a special minimum wage rate:
For more generalized information about determining SMWs under FLSA Section 14(c), please read the following:

Maybelline the Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara & Too Faced Flexistrech Nylon Lash Fibers A Marriage Most Wonderful
I decided to get a little experimental with my mascara this morning and combined the new Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara along with Too Faced's Flexistrech Nylon Lash Fibers.
Seriously, Too Faced needs to rethink the marketing on their Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System because I'd totally over indulge in the Nylon Lash Fibers if they sold them separately. I've pretty much completely run through these because I use them with every single mascara I own rather than just sticking with the mascara that Too Faced has included with the system.
They are the bomb dot comb people.
So if you're listening Too Faced, we want more Nylon Lash Fibers!
Let's take a look and see how well Too Faced played with Maybelline.
Mega Plush Mascara has been taking it lumps in the beauty world and has to contend with rants rather than a ton of raves but I'm generally enjoying it. I like the brush, I like the formula, and I think it works fairly well aside from the quirky wriggling brush.
I decided to step it up by applying it this morning along with some of the Too Faced Flexistrech Nylon Lash Fibers and I got such great length from combing the two!
Nifty right?
So for those curious about whether you can use the fibers with another mascara, here's proof! You can def take your old mascaras to new levels using these. I seriously wish Too Faced would consider selling them separately and perhaps in a bigger tube…I'd pay $35 just for a big o' tube of the fibers alone!
Great stuff!
Anyone try the Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System?
Are you using the fibers with other mascaras you own?
How about Mega Plush?
Tried it?
Loved it?
Left it?
Do share!
6/6/12 20:17 Ruth:
OMG Muse !!!!!!!!!!!!! When the False fiber system first came out I ordered it from Sephora and hated it, I had better results using the fibers and my Cover Girl mascara. I certainly wasn't going to keep it just for that though, $46.00 CDN is too much just for fibers. I emailed them the same day I returned it to Sephora and asked if there are any plans in the future to sell the fibers solo, haven't heard back yet but I'll let you know ASAP.
6/7/12 17:08 Ruth:
you know, i once emailed too faced and am still waiting for a response.I shattered a blush in one of their little pallets and wanted to replace it with the same color. the back of their travel pallets aren't marked with the color selections, i just wanted to know what it was. i contacted them AGES ago and they still haven't responded.
6/6/12 21:01 Courtney:
Do you have any problem with the fibers getting into your eyes? I want the few false lash fiber mascaras I've tried have given me issues. I've heard only good things about Too Faced's though so I'm tempted to try it…
6/6/12 21:06 Courtney:
I also saw on Sephora that MUFE sells lash fibers http://www.sephora.com/lash-fibers-P206303?skuId=1054808 but I wonder if they're as good?
6/7/12 14:05 Courtney:
OOS? I might have to go to Sephora to compare the two. The way you described them as like cotton sounds really neat!
6/6/12 21:38 adriana:
OMG!!! That combo looks pretty good! Luv it!!

Woo! Love mascara experiments
6/6/12 21:51 Angelina:
I tried the Mega Plush mascara and hated it, not hate but deff not gonna repurchase. I'm trying to use it up though but I was extremely disappointed. I really want to try the Too Faced mascara everyone's raving about!
6/6/12 23:01 Leticia – Cosmetics Aficionado:
Essence Volumizing Lash Powder might work like the fiber stuff from the Too Faced set.
I bought this mascara and need to test it out. Looks great on your lashes.
6/8/12 10:36 Leticia – Cosmetics Aficionado:
I buy mine in the states. I get it at Fred Meyer, which is a local chain and also Ulta sells it. I believe there are other stores that carry it, but off the top of my head I don't know. It is only $3.49 a bottle.
6/7/12 0:18 tiny:
6/7/12 2:24 Melissa:
You can buy similar fibers separately by quite a few brands. My favorite are by Talika bramd because they come in black.
6/7/12 18:50 Melissa:
I know the feeling you talk about because I wear contacts and that makes me a little more sensitive to eye makeup. I like the Talika product and when I compared the texture to the too faced one its really similar. Just a suggestion of course. I hated the Laura gellar one.. that was a clusterfudge.
6/7/12 4:29 Southern Gorgeous:
I agree, it would be amazing to see a large tube of the fibers for sale on their own!!
6/7/12 5:59 molly:
I absolutely love the fibers with the benefit they're real mascara. with both products i actually looked like i had false lashes on!
6/7/12 8:23 Kristanna:
gonna have to try this. I wasnt digging the plush but felt gulity I was letting it sit. The brush drove me crazy. Hope it works!!
6/7/12 10:27 Jenny:
The Too Faced lash fibers reminds me of a mascara I bought in Taiwan (SUKI) that I HATED at first because the mascara was dry. However, using the Suki fibers with any of my other mascaras produced amazing, false-lashies-like results 😀 And the best part was that the Suki mascara was less than USD$10!
Not sure if you can find the brand online, but definitely try it if you can~

Virginia State Parks to Participate in National Get Outdoors Day
(RICHMOND, VA) - Virginia State Parks will host special programs and events Saturday, June 9, as part of National Get Outdoors Day (GO Day) to encourage families to experience traditional and non-traditional outdoor activities. Prime goals of the day are reaching first-time visitors to public lands and reconnecting youngsters to the great outdoors.
The award-winning Virginia State Parks are managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.
"There are as many different opportunities to explore Virginia State Parks as there are parks," said DCR State Parks Director Joe Elton. "You can learn about camping and camping gear at Caledon Natural Area in King George County; about nature photography or kayaking at York River State Park in James City County; or study the moon through a large telescope at Wilderness Road State Park in Lee County."
Programs across the state will feature guided nature hikes, geo-caching, canoeing and kayaking. Visitors wishing to explore on their own can rent GPS units or enjoy self-guided hikes. Many parks have available for checkout backpacks with binoculars, field guides and other useful tools. A list of the programs being offered can be found here: http://1.usa.gov/vspgoday. The Virginia State Parks search tool makes it easy to search by program, date or specific park and can be found here: http://1.usa.gov/vspsearch.
"Society has moved away from active outdoor recreation to its detriment," Elton said. "Childhood obesity, attention deficit disorders and even youth violence have all been linked to the absence of free play in the outdoors. Our public lands are amazing natural playgrounds, and GO Day is an opportunity to offer programs to people less familiar with outdoor recreational pursuits."
For more information about Virginia State Parks activities and amenities or to make reservations in one of the more than 1,800 campsites or 300 climate-controlled cabins, call the Virginia State Parks Reservation Center at 800-933-PARK or visit www.virginiastateparks.gov.

Some like Coca-Cola are very valuable, and have been used for over a century. Others like aspirin have become generic and are no longer trademarks.
To reduce the risk that a trademark might be declared generic, experts recommend that the trademark always be used as an adjective; never as a noun. Hence, "Kleenix tissues" is preferred over "Kleenix."

I've never traveled in a desert before, there's over 110,000 lakes in my province so getting water is never an issue. How do you survive where water is scares? I imagine there's some careful planning of the route, carrying a reservoir, ect. But I'd like to hear the details of how it's done.
Some options:1. Store quantities of water in your car and combine driving with hiking -- using the car as a sort of home base for different 1-2 day hikes.2. Cache water beforehand.3. Suck it up and carry more water -- within reason.
Depending on which desert, there might be more water than you think, but it is hidden.I was doing a one-day ascent in Death Valley National Park. We started with 3 quarts of water per person. After about ten miles, we knew where a good water spring was, so we filled up water there, leaving with at least 6 quarts per person. That lasted us for the next 13 miles to the finish. I think I had about a quart remaining.--B.G.--
Do lots of homework. Know where the definitive water sources are, then carry what you need. In the Grand Canyon I routinely carried six liters.Having a light pack is rather nice here, not only to make room for water, but to let you hike further in a day and thus link up sources faster and more easily.
Yeah, what David says.I rarely hike anywhere in Southern California without knowing in advance where the water sources are and what the water situation is like at the time of year I plan to go. Some years are drier than others and somewhat reliable sources can dry up.A topo map will show you intermittent water sources, but you have to find out when they have water and when they don't, and additionally get an idea of this year's water availability. Topo maps will also show springs. Sometimes these springs barely drip.Good to bring a filter if you have to drink from an algae-filled or scummy source. Don't be surprised if a lot of your water will come from cattle troughs, too. These are often really good sources. Look for what is feeding the trough and get the water from the source instead of the trough. Another man-made source is called a guzzler. This is a type of rainwater cistern.You could probably ask a ranger about water sources in the area you plan to visit, or locals if you can find a web site.
I'm like you Ankar- I grew up hiking in Washington where water is a non-issue. But after 20+ desert trips and living in Bryce Canyon for a summer, I've learned to respect the H2O.I always inquire locally when I can and get the best topo maps and read all the guide books and online reports I can find. Usually the maps show some water sources but I mark them with other local spots and find out all I can from rangers and other hikers. A the same time I'm looking for cool camping spots, side trips, slots, secret routes, ruins, rock art, and whatever cool secrets I can find. From my experience, there are always more cool secrets in the desert and that's part of the fun.You carry LOTS of water, depending on the hike and location. And you have to hike smart, filling up at every opportunity when it's scarce and keeping your eyes peeled for water holes. If the water is minimal, it definitely makes sense to stay within hiking distance of the water source (or a vehicle cache) but I've rarely had this necessity. I have hiked 8+ miles to get water though. You have to plan ahead.My gear changes in the desert a bit. For one, I ditch the frameless pack for one with a frame for carry multiple liters of water. My Gossamer Gear Mariposa is my go-to desert pack for this reason.In the end, though, the water question is a small part of what makes desert hiking an absolute joy and a severe contrast from what I'm used to at home.Best, Doug

And for inspiration or maybe just because it is very well written try this: The Secret Knowledge of Water : Discovering the Essence of the American Desert by Craig Childs (Paperback - May 1, 2001)"A tinaja is so specific in its shape that any alteration changes even the condition of the water. Nearly each time I have seen human improvement attempted ..."Tinaja: love that word.

I never cache water, because something could happen to it... like someone taking it. I don't want my life to depend of something that could be removed.I hike mostly in deserts. I live in the Lower Colorado Desert, where some years we go zero inches of percipitation. Average is around 5 inches. Water here is the difficult to find. In the Mojave Desert (high desert), water is usually easier to find.First know your water needs. Everyone's body is different.Desert water sources are not usually 100% accurate. Verify before leaving on your trip.In really hot weather, rest during the heat of the day (noon- 3 PM). A tarp helps, because trees may not be available.Limit cooking with water. However, cookless meals may weigh more than the water needed to cook something. So plan accordingly.In hot weather, you are going to sweat away salt and minerals, replace them. Salty food is good, but you will drink more water.Drink frequently, do not wait until you are really thirsty.In warm/hot weather, you need little gear. Sub 3 lbs or even 2 lbs is possible. But you will carry lots of water to make up for the light base weight.Water weighs ~ 8.3 lbs. I have carried up to 3 gallons on desert trips.Wear a wide brimmed hat.Wear light colored clothes. Long sleve shirts and pants, not shorts. It will help reduce evaporation and protect your skin from the sun. Critical if you have a long hike between water sources. For short hikes between all my water sources, I wear a T shirt and shorts.I have been hiking in my desert for over 30 years, without getting into a critical situation. But almost every year someone dies from heat exhaustion when hiking in the area. Plan, plan, plan. On most of my desert trips, I will not see anyone else. That is what I like best about the desert.
Nick is right on with all of his points. I have cached water and never had any problems but I do worry about it some.The hardest part is getting reliable water reports and I usually don't rely on any reports older than a month unless it is for a very reliable/perennial spring. Especially in the national parks the rangers seem to be trained to act like they have no knowledge of water sources, probably a liability protection.I have hiked all over the desert southwest for nearly 40 years, many times in Big Bend and it can be challenging at times to plan a trip. They used to have a spring reports book at Big Bend NP and you could give reports and look at it before heading out but they have stopped that practice years ago. I too have had to start out with up to 3 gallons on trips, so a light pack really helps."On most of my desert trips, I will not see anyone else. That is what I like best about the desert."Absolutely!!
I just did a first day-hike (May) in the Superstitions near Phoenix, 16 miles - 8 hours, 92F. Took 3.5L, drank 3L. WhiskeyJack, I understand your question well. If you haven't hiked the desert before, many things are in question; first and foremost is water. It occured to me that a reflective umbrella would be cooler than a hat, and may cut down a little on the need for water. Maybe not too manly but I doubt the Hell's Angels are hiking out there. Otherwise, what do the desert rat's think of an umbrella?
Yes, I think that an umbrella could be helpful. But deserts typically can be windy.
Theoretically, a reflective umbrella might help keep your body temperature safer.Some years ago, some guys did a hike from the northern end of Death Valley National Park to the southern end. They had vehicles for support (camping each night) since they were doing this in summer. They used aluminized reflective umbrellas to hold some of the sun off, and they claimed that they worked fine.--B.G.--
I an absolutely vouch for a reflective outer/black inner umbrella making a big difference in very hot sunny weather. However, as mentioned above, they won't work in windy weather which you often find in the desert. I'm also not sure an umbrella would actually conserve water, as it allows more evaporative cooling compared to a hat. More cooling feels nice, but uses more water...a hat, though sweaty, could reduce water loss at the risk of overheating.
hmmm...sounds like we need a double blind research project with an adequate sample size :)
> what do the desert rat's think of an umbrella?Mate of mine does a lot of walking in the desert in Australia. He uses an external frame pack with a custom sunshade/verandah mounted on the frame. Swears by it.He also siestas under a large aluminised space blanket in the middle of the day.Cheers
"He uses an external frame pack with a custom sunshade/verandah mounted on the frame. Swears by it."Ditto. LuxuryLite frames are ideal for attaching an umbrella."He also siestas under a large aluminised space blanket in the middle of the day."Ditto. We carry a heat sheets for summer trips and shelter under this for a rest.
WhiskeyJack,Summary from above:1. Get recent water conditions on-line and from locals (BP shops?).2. Caching is risky.3. Siesta4. Big hat, full clothing (or umbrella, scientific study pending)5. Take lots of water, up to 3 gallons6. Tank up at every opportunityBeing inexperienced in the desert myself I would be very cautious going more than a day's hike in and would take enough water to walk out in the event of a blown water source. That's if going solo (which makes for a nice trip) or with others inexperienced in the desert. Be cautious about over-extending yourself initially in a new environment. Our comfort level in the north is accumulated over time. Imagine a lifelong desert rat taking on a trip with 2 feet of snow and -5F. Another possibility; how about trying to find an experienced partner to join you? That would provide the added benefit of learning the local flora and fauna, routes and myriad tips unique to desert travel that would otherwise have to be learned by trial and error. Cat's Claw comes to mind; looks harmless (whoops).BTW, do you have a trip in mind?
I think the umbrella helps, but not as much as you hope it will. It's still going to be really hot. A lot of heat comes up from the ground.One thing I created this weekend was I took a long sleeved shirt and sewed mesh all along the seam of the sleeves and the side seam. May also sew the mesh onto the back. Much more air gets in now.
Nice, a myog Ecomesh. I like that. Maybe I should look for my old wool military dress shirts and do the same thing.
I think an umbrella with reflective material may do more than we think. The extra shade will do a lot. In the heat of the summer, the difference between direct sun and shade is significant, especially if one could shade a large portion of the torso from direct sunlight. For me, it would probably get in the way, more than it would help. But one needs to consider that I have lived in one of the hottest deserts in North America for over 30 years and am well aclimated.

At the start of the 2008 winter season I caught the cowl fever, but could not find one that suited my tastes; thus the Crosshatch Cowl was born.
It's a very simple pattern that was derived from a stitch pattern in 101 Crochet stitches (the book) by Interweave Press.
- Medium sized oblong/Oval button
- using the stitch design found in the pattern.
- Ch. 91 (this includes the turning chain)
Repeat from * to last 4 ch, skip 3 ch, 1 sc into last ch, turn.
Repeat from * until last 3 stitches – then skip 2 dc, 1 sc into top of the turning ch, turn.
(The cowl shown pictured was done in 10 rows).
- When you get to the last stitch of your final row, work the sc as usual, and then fasten off.
Very pretty. I'm looking for a neck warmer pattern that doesn't have the long tails of a scarf. I think I've found one!

oh yeah! this is the BEST stuff for so cheap! i used to use MAC STudio fix but it broke me out, then i went on a crazy rampage through powder foundations, including Lorac, Chanel, Maybelline, and a memorable but super expensive Armani when i lived in Vegas. anyways, this one rocks if you like smooth coverage, non-cakey finish, and very sheer pigment. the colors are pretty good too. my skin is very even and blemish-free so i only worry about covering the shinies (hence the sheer pigment works for me). the one glitch is the packaging, which is bright blue and shaped like a fool but since this is only like $6.00 who cares? it won't break you out either and unlike a ton of cheap drugstore brands there's no mineral oil so go nuts and try this!!!!

After not having success with the Jane stay calm foundation and Revlon Colorstay, I decided to try this. I got it in buff beige this is the one of the shades that was recommended to me when I went to Covergirls website. This shade is a tad to dark for me. I guess it would be okay for summer, but not now I live in WA state and it is dark and rainy here during the winter with hardly any sun. Anyway for a powder foundation and this being the first one I have ever tried this is good. It gives okay coverage, if you have any blemishes it covers well at first and then after a few hours the blemish starts to show. I dont think this is HG material for me. I am always trying new stuff and throwing away the stuff I give bad reviews to. This is good for now till I find something better.

I don't usually get along with powdered foundations, which is a pity since they usually offer the formula I "would like." Being a long time RetinA user, no matter how much you exfoliate, sometimes it just isn't enough. Powder foundations always seem to bring ever teensy flake right into focus.
This works well as a touch up powder, and to be honest it has some pretty good coverage with it. Close to medium coverage. Ivory wasn't an awful match to my fair skin, but it wasn't completely with out fault either. In general I like it and think it is a good drug store purchase! I also prefer this over MAC's powdered foundations any day. continued >>

Well I hate to say this, but, I just bought Chanel's compact makeup last night, Double Perfection. I have to say it is double trouble for my face...the color is fine however the coverage is totally slipping off my face. I hate when you can see it sitting on top..my CG powder does not do that....I will be going back to CG tomorrow

This product could be used as a powder foundation or as an ordinary pressed powder. I purchased this and CG Smoothers out of frustration, after trying MAC everything (StudioFix, Pressed, Blot), Stila Illuminating Pressed Powder, YSL Matte Pressed #4 & DiorSkin and none of them being exactly what I was looking for. So one day at the WalMart, I went back to my high school favorite, CG. CG Pocket Powder is fabulous. It evens out my complexion, makes my face look flawless, can be topped over foundation or worn alone, absorbs oil and doesn't cake or settle into pores even after multiple touch ups. I wish it were a high end line so when I take the compact out of my purse, I don't look like I still think I'm 16. However, this stuff works like a dream and costs under $10Cdn. Love.

i've been using this since seventh grade. It doesn't clog pores and it does control shine, but I do find myself having to reapply once or twice throughout the day. The shade is a little light for me right now because I've gotten tanner, but during the winter months it looks good. However, wh en my skin is peeling it highlights those spots. but so do pretty much all other powders, so that's ok.

I bought this powder foundation on sale for really cheap $$ and I was surprised how good the coverage was. I liked it better than the MAC studio fix. Unfortunately, I picked the wrong shade, so it was little bit darker than my skintone. Next time, I'll buy one shade lighter. The package is bit cheap looking, but cute in its own way. Only thing, I didn't like was its inability to control shine and that's the reason why I took out a lippie. I would definitely buy this again.

I wouldn't wear this as a foundation, because it doesn't give good coverage. However it is excellent for touchups during the day, and is perfect for controlling an oily complexion.

I like this product a lot! Even better than Lorac wet/dry powder foundation which I thought was great, but this far surpasses it (and for a lot less money). Great for my oily/sensitive skin, no breakouts, and a lot less oily. As with most CG foundations, the colors can be a little funky, but I stick with Natural Ivory for my light to medium skin tone, and it works just fine.

I generally hate liquid foundations - I hate the smell and feeling of smearing something cold and wet on my face in the mornings. So I opted for the Fresh Complexion Pocket Powder by Covergirl and found it to be the foundation for me. It's a powder so that's great. It was quite hard to find the right colour for my skin, but managed to find the right one. It's not a perfect match, but good enough. When you first put it on it makes your face look really powdery and slightly unnatural, but after about 15 min, this blends in more naturally into your skin. Sometimes when my skin is very dry, it does make it look a bit too flaky. But all in all, this is the best foundation that I've found because it's a powder!
I like how it covers and evens up my skin imperfections - better than some liquid foundations.

Protecting Children on Your Web Site
As the number of organizations, including camps, with Web sites designed to attract and/or seek information from children increases, steps are being taken by the government to protect children's rights. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) became effective April 2, 2000. The regulations apply to the online collection of personal information from children under thirteen.
Basically, if you collect name and address or e-mail address or birth date or gender or any other personal information from children under thirteen at your Web site, you must meet the requirements of this law. These requirements include:
- obtaining verifiable parental consent before collection, using or disclosing information from a child;
- having and posting your privacy policies on the Web site;
- understanding your responsibility to protect childrens' privacy and safety.
To support the requirements of the Act, camps should establish, prominently display, and implement policies about selling or sharing of information gathered on the Web. These privacy policies should also seek to avoid:
- identifying pictured children or adults by full name and/or hometown; and utilizing password protection to areas where personal matters may be discussed;
- revealing the identity of persons participating in chat rooms or online discussions;
- using photographs of individuals without their knowledge or consent.
The Federal Trade Commission prepared this guide to help you comply with the new requirements for protecting children's privacy online and understand the FTC's enforcement authority. Their Web site is listed at the end of this article.
Who Must Comply
If you operate a commercial Web site or an online service directed to children under thirteen that collects personal information from children or if you operate a general audience Web site and have actual knowledge that it collects personal information from children, you must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
Personal Information
The COPPA Act and Rule apply to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, e-mail address, telephone number, or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. COPPA also covers other types of information — for example, hobbies, interests and information collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms — when they are tied to individually identifiable information.
Basic Provisions
Privacy Notice Placement
An operator must post a link to a notice of its information practices on the home page of its Web site or online service and at each area when it collects personal information from children. An operator of a general audience site with a separate children's area must post a link to its notice on the home page of the children's area.
The link to the privacy notice
must be clear and prominent.
The link to the privacy notice must be clear and prominent. Operators may want to use a larger font size or a different color type on a contrasting background to make it so. A link in small print at the bottom of the page — or a link that is indistinguishable from other links on your site — is not considered clear and prominent.
Privacy Notice Content
The notice must be clearly written and understandable; it should not include any unrelated or confusing materials. It must state the following information:
- The name and contact information (address, telephone number, and e-mail address) of all operators collecting or maintaining children's personal information through the Web site or online service. If more than one operator is collecting information at the site, the site may select and provide contact information for only one operator who will respond to all inquiries from parents about the site's privacy policies. Still, the names of all the operators must be listed in the notice.
- The kinds of personal information collected from children (for example, name, address, e-mail address, hobbies, etc.) And how the information is collected — directly from the child or passively, say, through cookies.
- How the operator uses the personal information (for example, is it for marketing back to the child? notifying contest winners? allowing the child to make the information publicly available through a chat room?)
- Whether or not the operator discloses information collected from children to third parties. If so, the operator also must disclose the kinds of businesses in which the third parties are engaged; the general purposes for which the information is used; whether the third parties have agreed to maintain the confidentiality and security of the information; and that the parent has the option to agree to the collection and use of the child's information without consenting to the disclosure of the information to third parties.
- That the operator may not require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity as a condition of participation.
- That the parent can review the child's personal information, ask to have it deleted and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child's information. The notice also must state the procedures for the parent to follow.
Direct Notice to Parents-Content
The notice to parents must contain the same information included on the notice on the Web site. In addition, an operator must notify a parent that it wishes to collect personal information from the child; that the parent's consent is required for the collection, use and disclosure of the information; and how the parent can provide consent. The notice to parents must be written clearly and understandably, and must not contain any unrelated or confusing information. An operator may use any one of a number of methods to notify a parent, including sending an e-mail message to the parent or a notice by postal mail.
Verifiable Parental Consent
Before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from a child, an operator must obtain verifiable parental consent from the child's parent. This means an operator must make reasonable efforts (taking into consideration available technology) to ensure that before personal information is collected from a child, a parent of the child receives notice of the operator's information practices and consents to those practices.
Until April 2002, the FTC will use a sliding scale approach to parental consent in which the required method of consent will vary based on how the operator uses the child's personal information. That is, if the operator uses the information for internal purposes, a less rigorous method of consent is required. If the operator discloses the information to others, the situation presents greater dangers to children, and a more reliable method of consent is required. The sliding scale approach will sunset in April 2002 subject to a Commission review planned for October 2001.
Internal Uses
Operators may use e-mail to get parental consent for all internal uses of personal information, such as marketing back to a child based on his or her preferences or communicating promotional updates about site content, as long as they take additional steps to increase the likelihood that the parent has, in fact, provided the consent. For example, operators might seek confirmation from a parent in a follow up e-mail, or confirm the parent's consent by letter or phone call.
Public Disclosures
When operators want to disclose a child's personal information to third parties or make it publicly available (for example, through a chat room or message board), the sliding scale requires them to use a more reliable method of consent, including:
- getting a signed form from the parent via postal mail or facsimile;
- accepting and verifying a credit card number;
- taking calls from parents, through a toll-free telephone number staffed by trained personnel;
- e-mail accompanied by digital signature;
- e-mail accompanied by a PIN or password obtained through one of the verification methods above.
But in the case of a monitored chat room, if all individually identifiable information is stripped from postings before it is made public — and the information is deleted from the operator's records — an operator does not have to get prior parental consent.
Disclosures to Third Parties
An operator must give a parent the option to agree to the collection and use of the child's personal information without agreeing to the disclosure of the information to third parties. That is, a parent can grant consent to allow his/her child to participate in activities on the site without consenting to the disclosure of the child's information to third parties.
The regulations include several exceptions that allow operators to collect a child's e-mail address without getting the parent's consent in advance. These exceptions cover many popular online activities for kids, including contests, online newsletters, homework help and electronic postcards. Prior parental consent is not required when:
- an operator collects a child's or parent's e-mail address to provide notice and seek consent;
- an operator collects an e-mail address to respond to a one-time request from a child and then deletes it;
- an operator collects an e-mail address to respond more than once to a specific request — say, for a subscription to a newsletter. In this case, the operator must notify the parent that it is communicating regularly with the child and give the parent the opportunity to stop the communication before sending or delivering a second communication to a child;
- an operator collects a child's name or online contact information to protect the safety of a child who is participating on the site. In this case, the operator must notify the parent and give him or her the opportunity to prevent further use of the information;
- an operator collects a child's name or online contact information to protect the security or liability of the site or to respond to law enforcement, if necessary, and does not use it for any other purpose.
October 2001/April 2002
In October 2001, the Commission will seek comment from interested parties to determine whether technology has progressed as expected and whether secure electronic methods are widely available and affordable. Subject to the Commission's review, the sliding scale will expire in April 2002. Until then, operators are encouraged to use the more reliable methods of consent for all uses of children's personal information.
New Notice for Consent
An operator is required to send a new notice and request for consent to parents if there are material changes in the collection, use or disclosure practices to which the parent had previously agreed. Take the case of the operator who got parental consent for a child to participate in contests that require the child to submit limited personal information, but who now wants to offer the child chat rooms. Or, consider the case of the operator who wants to disclose the child's information to third parties who are in materially different lines of business from those covered by the original consent — for example, marketers of diet pills rather than marketers of stuffed animals. In these cases, the Rule requires new notice and consent.
The Rule covers all personal information collected after April 21, 2000, regardless of any prior relationship an operator has had with a child. For example, if an operator collects the name and e-mail address of a child before April 21, 2000, but plans to seek information about the child's street address after that date, the later collection would trigger the Rule's requirements. In addition, come April 21, 2000, if an operator continues to offer activities that involve the ongoing collection of information from children — like a chat room — or begins to offer such activities for the first time, notice and consent are required for all participating children regardless of whether the children had already registered at the site.
Access Verification
At a parent's request, operators must disclose the general kinds of personal information they collect for children (for example, name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, hobbies), as well as the specific information collected from children who visit their sites. Operators must ensure they are dealing with the child's parent before they provide access to the child's specific information. They can use a variety of methods to verify the parent's identity, including:
- obtaining a signed form from the parent via postal mail or facsimile;
- accepting and verifying a credit card number;
- taking calls from parents on a toll-free telephone number staffed by trained personnel;
- e-mail accompanied by digital signature;
- e-mail accompanied by a PIN or password obtained through one of the verification methods above.
Operators who follow one of these procedures acting in good faith to a request for parental access are protected from liability under federal and state law for inadvertent disclosures of a child's information to someone who purports to be a parent.
Revoking and Deleting
At any time, a parent may revoke his/her consent, refuse to allow an operator to further use or collect their child's personal information, and direct the operator to delete the information. In turn, the operator may terminate any service provided to the child, but only if the information at issue is reasonably necessary for the child's participation in that activity. For example, an operator may require children to provide their e-mail addresses to participate in a chat room so the operator can contact a youngster if he is misbehaving in the chat room. If, after giving consent, a parent asks the operator to delete the child's information, the operator may refuse to allow the child to participate in the chat room in the future. If other activities on the Web site do not require the child's e-mail address, the operator must allow the child access to those activities.
Once the Rule became effective (April 2000), the Commission became able to bring enforcement actions and impose civil penalties for violations in the same manner as for other Rules under the FTC Act. In the meantime, the Commission also retains authority under Section 5 of the FTC Act to examine information practices in use before the Rule's effective date for deception and unfairness. In interpreting Section 5 of the FTC Act, the Commission has determined that a representation, omission or practice is deceptive if it is likely to:
- mislead consumers; and
- affect consumers' behavior or decisions about the product or service.
Specifically, it is a deceptive practice under Section 5 to represent that a Web site is collecting personal identifying information from a child for one reason (say, to earn points to redeem a premium) when the information will be used for another reason that a parent would find material-and when the Web site does not disclose the other reason clearly or prominently.
In addition, an act or practice is unfair if the injury it causes, or is likely to cause is:
- substantial;
- not outweighed by other benefits; and not reasonably avoidable.
For example, it is likely to be an unfair practice in violation of Section 5 to collect personal identifying information from a child, such as e-mail address, home address or phone number, and sell or otherwise disclose that information to a third party without giving parents adequate notice and a chance to control the collection and use of the information.

Prescription Drug Assistance
in North Carolina
|This program offers eligible seniors one-on-one consultations with pharmacists throughout the state to ensure that they are receiving the best information and advice about their medicines. It is a part of the NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund.
County Assistance Programs
County assistance programs vary and are available for seniors living within the county. Check with your local aging agency or Department of Social Services to see what is available in your county. Below are examples of county programs.
Durham County
SeniorPharmAssist is a nonprofit organization based in Durham, N.C. working to help older adults 60+, with low incomes, obtain the medicines they need and to avoid problem drug interactions. Medication and medication management counseling is part of a comprehensive service which includes referrals to other available local resources and direct financial assistance. They also provide assistance to any Medicare beneficiary to help sort through the many prescription drug plans - all free of charge. Call 919-688-4772 or e-mail them.
Orange County
Local clinics run by Piedmont Health Services offer patients medications on a sliding fee scale, based on income (other services are offered as well). If a patient is eligible for the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, they are encouraged to enroll because their cost would be less. Because the Clinic pharmacy offers low cost prescription drugs, clients will probably never reach the level where they will have to pay for coverage (the "donut hole").
UNC Hospital has a program where some inpatients and some outpatients may qualify for assistance with paying for medications.
Wake County
MAPS: Medication Assistance Plan for Seniors is a program of Resources for Seniors that assists seniors in applying for patient assistance programs offered by pharmaceutical companies.
FIGS: Filling in the Gaps, offered by Urban Ministries offers short-term financial assistance with prescriptions for those without insurance. Call 919-834-4707.

Home Delivery of Prescription Drugs by a Pharmacy (Triangle)
As a caregiver, you may not have time to continually go to the pharmacy to purchase needed prescription drugs. This is especially true if the drugs are only allowed to be purchased one month at a time, there are multiple drugs involved, and the timeframes for the allowed purchases are staggered. Plus, your caregiving responsibilities take up a lot of time.
If you aren't purchasing the prescriptions online, ask your local pharmacist if they have delivery service and, if so, if there is a charge.
If you live in the Triangle (NC), there is another alternative. Physicians Pharmacy Alliance offers monthly delivery service and is designed for individuals with multiple prescription needs and limited or no ability to leave home to purchase them. Prescriptions are e-mailed or faxed directly to the pharmacy. A computer program synchronizes a patient's drug regimens so that all the various medications expire at the same time. The program checks for drug interactions between the medicines, side effects, and other complications. Orders are double checked with the patient by phone before the monthly delivery is due.
When the delivery arrives, the order is re-confirmed and is discussed. A printout of the medications accompanies the order. It includes pictures of the pills and a wallet-sized card listing the drugs for potential emergency use.
New prescriptions needed between deliveries will also be filled. Several nurses and doctors oversee the daily operations. They are located in Cary, NC. Contact them at 919-463-5555. They say "Physicians Pharmacy Alliance is not a traditional drugstore chain that only fills your medications. Instead we are a medication management pharmacy working in partnership with you and your physician....All Physicians Pharmacy services are offered at no additional cost to patients. You will pay no more than you pay at your existing pharmacy and possibly less."
NC Association of Free Clinics
The Free Clinics are private, nonprofit, community-based organizations that provide medical care at little or no charge to low-income, uninsured and underinsured persons through the use of volunteer health care professionals and partnerships with other health providers.
North Carolina has 70+ NCAFC Free Clinics. See also NC MedAssist below.
Note: These clinics are designed to cover individuals not covered by Medicare or Medicaid or other types of insurance programs. Eligibility criteria may vary from one clinic to the next. Each clinic conducts rigorous eligibility screening to ensure that the patients they serve are truly in need.
NC Division of Medical Assistance
The NC Division of Medical Assistance is available to counsel and assist Medicaid recipients enroll in and pay their part of the Medicare Part D prescription drug program and apply for the "Extra Help" program (additional federal assistance from Medicare), if qualified.
NC MedAssist
North Carolinians who are unable to afford their prescription medicines can now get them for free. A pilot program begun in March of 2009 to give low-income North Carolinians free access to needed prescription drugs has been expanded to serve residents statewide. The program offers free brand name and generic drugs to those who meet the income requirements. NC MedAssist is set up to help individuals anywhere in NC and will ship the medications to your home through a central mail-order pharmacy.
Attorney General Roy Cooper's Consumer Protection and Education Fund is helping to fund the first year of the program and is a cooperative effort with the NC Association of Free Clinics which administers the program. The drugs are donated by pharmaceutical companies.

Get the lead out or keep it in? A no-win situation.
It's a terrible twist of irony. The Chinese can't seem to keep the lead out, while everyone else may be doing too good of a job keeping it out. So reports the LA Times, in the article Lead phase-out may destroy electronics. The problem? Tin whiskers, like the ones on terminations, shown here..
"They've ruined missiles, silenced communications satellites and forced nuclear power plants to shut down. Pacemakers, consumer gadgets and even a crucial part of a space shuttle have fallen victim. The culprits? Tiny splinters — whiskers, they're called — that sprout without warning from tin solder and finishes deep inside electronics. By some estimates, the resulting short circuits have leveled as much as $10 billion in damage since they were first noticed in the 1940s. Now, some electronics makers worry that the destruction will be more widespread, and the dollar amounts more draining, as the European Union and governments around the world enact laws to eliminate the best-known defense — lead — from electronic devices. 'The EU's decision was irresponsible and not based on sound science," said Joe Smetana, a principal engineer and tin whisker expert with French telecommunications equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent. 'We're solving a problem that isn't and creating a bunch of new ones.'" The subject of tin whiskers has long been controversial among the design engineering community, with blogs and forums buzzing noisily on the topic, including this post from the site Pushback, an anti-lead-free site. "It was bound to happen. IPC and Jedec now have a conference to address reliability issues of lead free………….The train has indeed left the station, and as predicted it is running into some issues….. Here's a clue guys – lobby Europe so that we can use environmentally friendly leaded solder and you will not need the conference. They have to review the whole thing by 2008 so seize the opportunity.. " And we won't even get started on all the paperwork….

If you look at the list of products which are still allowed to use leaded solder, they are :
Military products
Medical products
Servers, storage and storage array systems
Network infrastructure equipment for switching, signalling, transmission as well as network management for telecommunication.
What do these all have in common ? They are applications where reliabilty is paramount.
So it was obviously realised that reliability would suffer as a result of the changeover.
Leadfree equipment is likely to be scrapped earlier than it would have been if leaded solder was used, which is rather counterproductive environmentally speaking.

The reliability of our products is sacrosanct.
We absolutely refuse to use lead-free solder.

"Which is why most lead free-solders now used in the EU are silver/copper alloys."
Most solder pastes contain silver and copper in small amounts but they do not exclude tin. Most solder pastes are 95%+ tin.
October 19, 2007 01:21
Which is why most lead free-solders now used in the EU are silver/copper alloys. Tin has always been recognised as a fickle metal. Napolian found this out during the French Invasion of Prussia and Russia – during the winter the tin buttons reverted to grey tin – an enantimourphous crystalline version of tin which falls to a grey powder in low temperatures. Napolian's Soldiers found this out when all their tunic and trouser buttons fell to dust during the depths of Russian Winter!
Tin Whiskers have always been a problem – this is not news!

BackgroundIn the remote reaches of the solar system in the 22nd century, there is a colony on Jupiter called "Antilia." In a sudden outbreak of war, a shy youth named Leo Stenbuck loses his friends right before his eyes. Thoughts of "if they just weren't around I wouldn't be picked on anymore" had crossed through his mind just moments before his friends were killed. Blaming himself for not being able to save them, he panicked and ran away from the scene of the attack, inadvertently stumbling onto the cause of the war, the Orbital Frame "Jehuty," a colossal war machine with a human form that holds the key to civilization's existence.

UK company launches Lumin8a indicator gloves + video
Flashing LEDs on the back of the hand add visibility to your signalling
Previous News
Next News
British company Skute Design are releasing a new indicator glove called the Lumin8a.
Plenty of indicator gloves have been released in the past with varying degrees of success. These ones come with a red LED chevron on the back of each hand. When you want to signal, you press the button at the top of the forefinger with your thumb and the lights begin to flash.
The Lumin8a gloves are available in both short and long finger options and they are recharged via a built in USB connector. We're told that they can be washed just fine, although we've not got a pair yet so we've not tried it. We do have some on the way for testing.
Here's a short video of them in action…
The Lumin8a gloves are currently available at £39.99 from the Skute Design website although they'll be making their way into bike shops soon.
Got to laugh at the way they are trying to promote safety with the indicator gloves yet the cyclists in the promotion video are wearing dark colours and don't have front or rear lights in the dark!
Well thought out!

Dreadful car oriented concept. A reflective glove or jacket arm does much better if lack of arm signal visibility is a concern.
I enjoyed watching the video though, marvelling at the bravery of the participating rodeo stunt cyclists. Not a lot of looking over the shoulder going on but then it's hard with one arm fully and permanently outstretched through the entire manoeuvre, I'm supposing.

Yup, agree with vbvb - this is just trying to turn bicycles into cars and is totally counter to all of the progressive stuff that's happening in cycling right now.
Have you ever had a problem with signalling a turn? No. And most gloves have reflective material on them anyway. Why would you spend £40 on these?
And, really, if you're going to make indicators at least make them orange.

Yes, those pesky cyclists should look like cars. Coming next - big metal boxes to put around their bikes!
