Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Suggestions Please: Imusa Cool Touch Cook Pot
Jan 19, 2013 at 9:10 am #1298197
Ive decided to build a new cookset over the winter months and Im experimenting with the Imusa 10cm mug.
First things first, the handle had to go. Then I made a coozy from some volara foam and lined it with aluminum tape.
My first thought was to add a wire bale but thought the short mug may tip easily while being moved. Instead I cut two tabs from a sheet of cork and used RTV Sealant to adhere them to the sides of the pot at a comfortable handling distance and then transferred the tab stencil to the foam coozy and notched it out so the pot would slide into it.
This works pretty well and I may decide to go with it. The cork stays cool to the touch and I dont have to insulate a bale or use a bandana/pot grabber to handle the pot.
Only down side is that if my stove flares up flames can run up the side of my pot and burn the cork. I dont see this being a big problem but if anyone has a better way to insulate the pot Im open to suggestions.
I thought of self sealing silicone tape but Ive never worked with it. If I wrapped the top 1 1/2 inches of the pot would the tape stay cool enough that I could lift the pot from the stove?
Is it possible to buy small silicone sheets that I could cut tabs from in the same manner I used with the cork?
Maybe something with carbon felt?
Any ideas are welcome, thanks.Jan 19, 2013 at 9:33 am #1945253

What about a silicone wristband? The cork does look better.Jan 19, 2013 at 10:34 am #1945266
Thanks Ken. I tried wrist bands with my Heineken Pot but they always got uncomfortably hot. I also tried a length of broken resistance band once. That was a bit better the wrist bands but only a bit. I was surprised at how quickly the weight of silicone bands added up… a piece here a piece there and you have a half ounce of the stuff.
Trying to keep this set up as simple as possible, less fiddle factor, miscellaneous parts and pieces. And yes, the cork looks much better. If I decide to go with this set up I m going to make another coozy and cut some better fitting tabs to give the whole set a nice look.Jan 19, 2013 at 1:02 pm #1945293

It looks too heavy. The scale shows that it weighs 2.8 something.

Nice work. It looks great, and the idea to use cork "stickers" is clever. Why put aluminum foil tape on the inside of the cozy? It doesn't reflect any radiant heat in that arrangement, and the foam is probably strong enough on its own.Jan 19, 2013 at 6:29 pm #1945366

The scale shows 2.8 ounces, which isn't bad at all because that looks to include the weight of the cup.Jan 19, 2013 at 7:03 pm #1945376

No humor intended, Nick. What did you have in mind?
–B.G.–Jan 19, 2013 at 7:46 pm #1945395
Colin – After the first boil test I set the hot pot on a small piece of foam and got melted foam. Id gladly switch to a more heat resistant foam and eliminate the tape if possible,any suggestions? I considered kapton tape but I had the foil tape already and its much cheaper.
Bob – Clearly there are lighter options out there but this setup with stove, lid, and windscreen comes in at 3.5 oz. Thats a full 2 oz lighter than my last cook set and this one is much easier to use and more durable.
Chris – Thanks, I thought 2.8 oz was pretty good as well, and youre correct that weight includes the cup.
I appreciate the input guys – My goal with this was not to produce the lightest set available but to lighten and simplify my cookset while increasing durability. Ive ordered some more pots and plan on experimenting more with this set up. I'll keep you posted and thanks again.Jan 19, 2013 at 8:14 pm #1945401

You could use it instead of the cork – it is heat resistant but you may have to make it thicker so it's cooler to touch.

Bruce, I'm surprised that the foam melted. Closed-cell nylon foam sheets tolerate higher temperatures, and come in low densities, but they are difficult to find. Neoprene, silicone foam, and nitrile foam tolerate high temperatures but they are fairly heavy.
Have you considered thin polyester fleece? It could double as a hat.Jan 20, 2013 at 5:54 am #1945452
Colin – I have a bit of neoprene that would withstand the heat of the pot but its 1/2 inch thick so too bulky, heavy, and more than I really need. I may experiment with some 1/8 or 1/4 inch. The aluminum tape doesnt stretch so the coozy has to be cut accurately to fit the pot without sliding off. It would be much easier to get a snug fit if I could take advantage of the stretch factor of neoprene.
Ive never worked with silicone or nitrile foam but I'll look into it. On such a small project the weight difference may not be a problem.
I hadnt considered fleece, great idea though, I especially like the dual use aspect.
Thanks.Jan 25, 2013 at 11:25 pm #1947357

@heyyouLocale: Cutting brush off of the Arizona Tr
Turn a loose fitting cozy upside down. Partially slide it over the top of the pot to grab it from the stove. Set the pot on the ground or on a flat insulated piece, then push the cozy down until it fully covers the pot for cozy cook time.
This will work with small pots, that your hand can span, but not with quart plus sized ones.Jan 26, 2013 at 5:23 pm #1947518
Thanks Joe, great idea!

Hi there! I'm not currenty keeping bees but am interested in getting back into it and finding a supplier of downsized bees a la Dee Lusby and the biological beekeeping movement etc. etc. I thought I'd start hanging out here and learning all I can about what people are going through vis-a-vis sudden colony collapse disorder, mites, keeping downsized bees organically, Africanized bees (not a problem here in Jamaica Plain, MA but something that interests me personally).
Why, you may well ask, am I *not* keeping bees currently? Well, I lost my last hive due to (I believe) primarily neglect. They got caught up in a splitup, got left at the boyfriend's house and not fed or attended to much at all, and then to cap it off, we dropped the hive while moving it off the truck when I moved back to Boston.
Yes, those were some very angry bees. Poor things! Didn't make it through that season. But now that I'm settled back in Boston I would love to start keeping them again... or at least to start talking to people about what's going on in the aforementioned topics.
Nice to meet you all!


text: This is a good read, but I will say that you can't overgeneralize some of the pessimism. Its not all paranoid and panic. It is well warranted for the most part. A government that will illegally give guns to mexican cartels (ATF and Operation Fast and Furious) and even thinks about subtly discussing the idea of banning or regulating guns has got to be one of the most hypocritical political moves of the century.

But Israeli archaeologist Danny Bahat told the Jerusalem Post that, since the dirt was filler, the layers do not represent a meaningful chronology. "What they did is like putting the remains in a blender," adds Jerusalem region archaeologist Seligman about the Waqf excavation. "All the layers are now mixed and damaged." Archaeologist Meir Ben-Dov, a specialist on the Old City, has raised doubts as to whether all the landfill even originated on the Temple Mount. Some of it, he suggests, was brought there from Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter.
Barkay, not surprisingly, rejects this suggestion, citing the frequent finds of Ottoman glazed wall-tile fragments from the Dome of the Rock, dating back to the 16th century, when Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent repaired and beautified the shrine. And, though the excavated soil is not in situ, he says that, even if one were to discount the scientific value of the artifacts by 80 percent, "we are left with 20 percent, which is a lot more than zero."
Barkay identifies and dates the artifacts through "typology": he compares his finds with similarly made objects in which a timeline has been firmly established. For instance, the opus sectile pieces Barkay found in the soil were precisely the same—in terms of material, shape and dimensions—as those that Herod used in palaces at Jericho, Masada and Herodium.
We arrive at Barkay's salvaging operation, and he greets a handful of staffers. Then he leads the way to a worktable and shows me a sampling of a single day's efforts. "Here's a bowl fragment from the First Temple period," he says. "A Byzantine coin here. A Crusader arrowhead made of iron. This is a Hasmonean coin, from the dynasty that ruled Judah in the second century B.C." Barkay tells me that volunteers by the hundreds arrive each week to help with the sifting—even ultra-Orthodox Jews, who traditionally oppose archaeological excavations in the Holy Land. "They say all the evidence is in the [scriptural] sources, you don't need physical proof. But they're willing to make an exception, because it's the Temple Mount." Barkay pauses. "If I look at some of the volunteers, and I see the excitement in their eyes, that they with their own fingers can touch the history of Jerusalem, this is irreplaceable." He admits the project has attracted "very few" Palestinians or Arab Israelis.
Leading me outside the plastic-covered building, Barkay squints into the sunlight. We can see the Temple Mount in the distance, the sunlight glinting off the golden-topped Dome of the Rock. "We've been working for six years, and we've gone through 20 percent of the material," he says, pointing to huge heaps of earth that fill an olive grove below the tent. "We have another 15 to 20 years to go."

I hunt with just an ice chest and a camper shell as far as creature comforts. That makes it hard to keep birds for very long when the night time temps are above freezing. When below, I just put the birds on the roof of the shell at night and back in the ice chest during the day.
Has anyone tried to dedicate a small ice chest to an ice brine cooling system where you'd keep the cleaned birds in a smaller water tight container buried in the brine? A 20% salt brine results in a 2 deg F. temp for the brine. It would require going through a lot of ice and salt but that's better than having to leave soon after getting birds to prevent spoilage.

Credibility Deficit Widens with President's Third "Budget" in Seven Months
President's "Math" Doesn't Add Up
In the span of seven months, President Obama has offered three different budget plans for the federal government. He offered an actual budget in February, a budget "framework" in April, and yet another tax-and-spend plan this past week (more spending in the "American Jobs Act"; more taxes in a new plan unveiled yesterday). Unfortunately, none of these approaches has provided the kind of leadership that America needs to lift the crushing burden of debt while promoting sustained economic growth.
The following House Budget Committee analysis unpacks the President's widening credibility deficit – on taxes, spending, debt, and gimmicks.
Tax Hikes on Job Creators: Contrary to claims of "balance," the President's latest tax-and-spend plan is dominated by higher taxes. Not including war spending and estimated savings in debt-service costs, 80 percent of the deficit-reduction claims take the form of higher taxes. At a time when economic growth remains stagnant and private-sector job creation remains elusive, the President's calls for tax increases are deeply misguided.
Doubles Down on Health Care Rationing: This Administration's misguided approach to health care spending is most evident in its doubling down on the President's new health care law. Instead of offering a plan to save and strengthen critical health and retirement security programs so that government can keep its promises to current and future generations, the proposal claims that 90 percent of its Medicare savings will come from the same kinds of price controls that have failed in the past. If tried on the scale that the President wants, these restrictions would result in reduced access and denied benefits for current seniors.
Lack of Credibility Reveals Deeper Flaws: Rebutting criticism of a plan marked by divisive substance and marketed with partisan rhetoric, President Obama said yesterday: "It's not class warfare. It's math." The President's comments demand attention to the numbers. And the numbers underscore this President's lack of fiscal seriousness. Because of empty promises made by politicians of both political parties, the federal government faces tens of trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities. The President has called for even higher taxes and deeper Medicare cuts – yet "math" reveals that he is still not being honest with the American people on what will be needed to seriously confront our looming fiscal crisis.
The unavoidable truth of the matter is that this President remains wedded to an unsustainable trajectory of government spending. The tax increases and Medicare price controls he has proposed are insufficient to match the spending he's promised.
The Merciless "Math"
The President insists that his demands for tax increases on 0.3% of the population are not driven by ideology, but rather by "math." In his remarks in the Rose Garden yesterday, he continued: "The money has to come from some place." So let's examine the "math":
Figure 1
Even if tax revenue as a share of the economy were to grow in excess of its historical average, tax increases simply cannot match the spending commitments of the federal government in the years ahead. Based on Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections of their likely policy trajectory, government spending is on pace to double within a generation, and eclipse 75 percent of the entire economy later this century (see Figure 1). As the Washington Examiner's Philip Klein observed: "No amount of rhetoric by [President] Obama is going to change the numbers."[3] In other words: "It's math."
Figure 2
The federal government's debt challenge is a function of the explosive growth of entitlement spending, specifically the health care entitlements: Medicare, Medicaid, and most recently trillions of dollars of additional obligations stemming from the enactment of the President's health care law (see Figure 3).
Medicare, Medicaid, and additional government health spending programs will soon eclipse all other government spending. According to Figure 4, non-health related government spending as a share of the economy is on pace to slowly decline in the decades ahead, while government's spending on health care as a share of the economy explodes.
Currently, health care spending is growing twice as fast as economic growth. General revenue required to finance Medicare is expected to grow from $280 billion in 2011 to $468 billion in 2021. In future years, total federal health spending is expected to grow from 5.6 percent of GDP to nearly 20 percent of GDP – almost equal to the post-World War II average for the entire federal government. This is clearly unsustainable.
The exploding cost of health care is bankrupting the country, yet among the primary drivers of health inflation is the structure of the government's open-ended health care entitlement programs.
Decades of Medicare price controls have failed to control spending. Instead of cutting costs, they encourage providers to bill for more services each year. Many experts – from both sides of the aisle – believe that the Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) system is a major reason for the explosion of costs in American health care.
Medicare reimburses providers for their services without question, without concern for quality and without thought to cost. This top-down delivery system exacerbates waste in the health care system, as none of the primary stakeholders has a strong incentive to reduce waste.
Politicians' repeated efforts to patch this problem without reforming the structure of the subsidy have amounted to one failure after another. Time and again, Congress has sought to apply band-aids by reducing the rate at which doctors and hospitals are reimbursed for treating Medicare patients. These repeated fee reductions have had two consequences: Providers have either increased the volume of services they provide for each condition, leading to waste, fraud and abuse; or they have stopped accepting Medicare patients, limiting access for seniors.
Despite these misguided interventions, the rising cost of Medicare continues unabated. Today, Medicare spending is growing at a rate of 7.2 percent every year. This is more than twice the rate at which the nation's economy is growing. The unchecked growth of the Medicare program threatens not only the federal budget, but also, more critically, the very health security of millions of American seniors. In testimony before the House Budget Committee, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made clear: "I would say that the current fee-for-service system, yes, is unsustainable."[7]
Figure 4
Another major health care entitlement – Medicaid – has fallen victim to the same trend: an open-ended commitment that drives up costs, coupled with misguided price controls that restrict access. There is no limit on the federal government's matching contributions to state spending, so state governments "spend most of their energy devising ways to 'maximize' how much they get from the federal government," while seeking to minimize their own share of the tab.[8] The program's mandates and misaligned incentives have driven up spending at such a rate that Medicaid is now estimated to replace elementary and secondary education as the largest component of total state spending. In an effort to restrain costs, policymakers have sought to reduce payments to providers, resulting in Medicaid beneficiaries finding it increasingly difficult to find access to quality care.
The structural problems with Medicare and Medicaid, along with the discriminatory tax treatment of health insurance, all serve as key contributors to health inflation. The failure to reform these government policies has pushed affordable coverage out of reach for millions of Americans, eroded workers' paychecks for those with coverage, and exacerbated the fiscal challenges at the federal, state, and local levels of government.
The President's Health Overhaul Makes Matters Worse
Despite being sold as a serious attempt to tackle the problem of health inflation, the President's health care law was anything but. Its primary focus was on expanding coverage via government subsidies, instead of making coverage more affordable with reforms that promote competition and choice. With its maze of mandates, dictates, controls, tax hikes and new entitlements, the flawed new law will push costs even further in the wrong direction:
The President and his party's leaders are deeply committed to the bureaucratic vision of health care represented by their new health care law. They have greeted efforts to move federal health care policy in the direction of greater competition and choice with demagoguery and derision. It remains difficult to build bipartisan health care reform on top of a partisan health care law. Because of the Democrats' intransigence on health care, their "grand bargain" proposals usually sidestep the politically difficult question of how to control government spending on health care. Too often, efforts to chart a sustainable fiscal path rely on artificial savings targets, as opposed to actual policy reforms that would reduce health care spending in the future.Rather than clinging to an unsustainable status quo, it is imperative that policymakers advance patient-centered reforms – fixing what's broken in health care without breaking what's working. In Medicare, this means giving seniors the power to choose from a list of Medicare approved and subsidized coverage options, like the system that members of Congress enjoy. In Medicaid, it means returning authority over the program to the states and giving them the flexibility to tailor their programs to the diverse needs of their unique populations. And for all Americans, it means making health insurance more portable and more affordable by personalizing the tax credit for health insurance.
The President's Latest Budget Plan: Strike Three
The President remains firmly wedded to his unaffordable vision on health care. Unwilling to consider approaches that deal with the root drivers of health inflation, his budget proposals are unable to conform to basic math. There is no degree of taxation that can match the spending promises made by this Administration without inflicting irreparable economic damage. Government spending as a share of our economy is on pace to double by mid-century, and will consume 75 percent in the decades to follow.
The Misguided Approach on Health Care
Instead of proposing much needed reforms to health entitlement programs, the President instead doubles down on the top-down price controls from his health care plan.
The President continues to avoid offering serious proposals to save Medicare from its looming collapse.
The President's proposal fails to address the biggest driver of state budget problems – Medicaid.
More Taxes
The President proposes $1.57 trillion in higher taxes in the midst of the slowest economic recovery in recent memory. While these tax hikes are leavened somewhat by his proposals to extend and expand certain tax relief that was agreed to on a bipartisan basis at the end of 2010, today's proposal offers temporary tax rebates in exchange for permanently higher taxes on job creation.
Inequities in the tax code (for instance, the fact that tax loopholes are disproportionately used by the wealthy) should be addressed through fundamental tax reform, not through one-off punitive measures that seek to further divide Americans.
More Spending
In a reprise of the failed stimulus program, the President proposes nearly $182 billion in new spending. As with the first failed stimulus, we can expect very little bang for the deficit-financed buck, as government does a poor job of allocating resources to their most efficient and productive uses (see, for example, the recent bankruptcy of stimulus recipient Solyndra). Meanwhile, growing federal debt and looming federal tax increases will fuel uncertainty about fiscal problems and discourage businesses from making the kinds of long-term investments that create jobs.
Increases Federal Intrusion into Local Education
Adds More Spending for "Shovel-Ready" Projects
Missed Opportunity for Federal Job Training Reform
Budget Gimmicks
Tax Increases Hidden In "Mandatory Savings"
The Return of the War Gimmicks
Potential Areas for Common Ground
The core failure of the President's plan is its lack of seriousness in acknowledging what he calls "math." The inadequacy of the proposal however, should not distract observers from the range of policy suggestions offered by the President – most of which would make our economic situation worse. Before discussing the proposed increases in taxes and spending, it is worth highlighting a few common sense proposals that are long overdue and worthy of consideration.
The President's newest budget proposal does include several savings proposals that are similar to ideas included in the House-passed budget resolution, including the following areas:
The Debate America Deserves
It has been 873 days since Senate Democrats last passed a budget.[23] The President and his party's leaders have yet to put forward any specific solutions that actually lift the crushing burden of debt.[24] In sharp contrast, the U.S. House of Representatives advanced an actual budget that strengthens the social safety net, tackles the entitlement crisis, pays off the debt, and charts a path to economic growth and job creation. The House passed this plan by its statutory deadline of April 15, 2011.[25] Beyond meeting their legal obligation to pass a budget, members of the House met their solemn commitment to those they serve to confront the real debt crisis facing this nation.
The drivers of the debt are directly addressed in the House-passed budget, as government spending is brought under control and Washington's fiscal house is put in order. Under its status quo projections detailed in its 2010 Long-Term Budget Outlook, CBO estimates that the federal government's debt will grow to 344 percent of the economy by 2050. In that same year, CBO estimates debt under the House-passed budget will have dropped to 10 percent (see Figure 5).[26]
As the federal government nears the limits of its borrowing authority, policymakers should cut what government spending they can and do so in a responsible manner. But when it comes to addressing the larger debt crisis before us, too many in Washington are still not having the debate the American people deserve.

'Tis the season for the annual Rock Hunt throwdown, featuring 12 acts competing for cash, prizes, live gigs (including a slot on the Summer Concert Series), and airplay at any and all hours of the day — not just the graveyard shift. While this year's crop of contestants may not bowl you over in terms of groundbreaking, genre-busting sounds, I think we'll have one of the more hotly-contested Rock Hunt battles of recent times. Sibling rawk duo VulGarrity ran away with the title last year. Tracy and Shawn Garrity are pros when it comes to working the room (oddly enough, they nailed a C&C Music Factory cover) and wowed the judges — myself included.
A few weeks back, program director Wendell Clough and fellow staffers carved out nine hours for the 90 (!) entries (20 more were deemed geographically ineligible) before narrowing it down to the dozen semifinalists. Clough also noted the influx of suburban homebase locations this year, with bands hailing from Wakefield to Weymouth to Worcester. And, yes, the Rock Hunt is open to bands from across the southern New England area, not just Rhode Island.
Here's the deal — three bands will perform a 25-minute set each night, and the four winners will be in the finals at the Met later this month. The battle for sonic supremacy begins Friday at the Spot Underground (15 Elbow St, Providence, 401.383.7133) with Kid Mountain (North Attleboro, MA), the Rice Cakes (PVD), and Grand Evolution (Uxbridge, MA). On Saturday, head to the Ocean Mist (895 Matunuck Beach Rd, Matunuck, 401.782.3740) and catch Satellites Fall (Coventry), Kingston 530 (Weymouth, MA) and Look North (Wakefield) looking for some hometown love. All shows are $5 at the door and start at 9 pm sharp.
KID MOUNTAIN (kidmountain.bandcamp.com): Citing the Microphones, Modest Mouse, and Talking Heads as influences, this quartet strikes with a stripped-down approach reinforced with some nice harmonies. The seven songs comprising their third and latest EP, Visitor's Center (all three are available for free download on their site), sound a bit more polished than their appropriately titled 2011 debut, Demonstrations. Visitor's Center caught my ear right from the acoustic instrumental intro "Cross Country." Lead singer Cole Wuilleumier corrals his inner Isaac Brock on "Upskirt" and current single "The Drift." Radio-Friendly Acoustic Shoegaze-Pop? Sure, why not.
GRAND EVOLUTION (grandevolution.com): Grand Evolution started out in 2006 behind their debut If You Only Knew and have cranked out records every two years since (all streaming and available for purchase on their website). Combine the opening riff of new single "Sweetheart" (from the new Collide EP) with Sarah Kenyon's vocals and I'm having a major Velocity Girl flashback (and there's certainly nothing wrong with that). Grand Evolution hit harder than the sweetened alt-pop I was expecting, and crunchier numbers such as "The Way I Kill" and "Happy Hour" (from their 2010 full-length The Recovery) should perk up some ears at the Spot. Kenyon provides vox and rhythm guitar, with Scott Kenyon on drums, Everett Foundry on lead guitar, and bassist Dave Trombley rounding out the quartet.
"We can definitely promise an energized and diverse set, one that'll show a lot of different angles of our sound, with a few fun surprises for sure. We're stoked to be a part of the Rock Hunt!" Raskin told me earlier this week. I'm laying the early money down on the Rice Cakes here.

MgPlus Guard by Perque delivers magnesium as ionized glyconate' ascorbate' citrate and C16 and C18 alkyls.
Although you may have other options for your magnesium supplementation needs' only Magnesium Plus Guard by Perque offers a combination of four transport cofactors. Each cofactor first transports magnesium to the cells that need it' and then adds a boost of energy when taking its place as an activator in the energy production pathway.
Why Supplement with Magnesium?
A survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Survey shows that more than 80 percent of Americans are deficient in the mineral magnesium. Since we know that magnesium deficiency can be caused or exacerbated by chronic stress and acid-producing foods and beverages' such as coffee' tea' alcohol' processed foods and refined sugars' this news should not be very surprising. The standard American diet is one that depletes the body's stores of magnesium.
Magnesium is a buffering mineral that the body uses to neutralize acids. Since the standard Western diet is so high in acidic foods and low in magnesium-rich foods' most Americans need to supplement their diet with a good magnesium source' such as Perque Magnesium Plus Guard. This mineral supplement delivers magnesium in completely soluble' fully ionized alkaline salts' which are ready to get into action' buffering the body against the damaging effects of excess acidity.
Some studies have shown that supplementing with magnesium may be even more effective at preventing and treating osteoporosis than even calcium. This is because magnesium plays a vital role in balancing the body's supply of calcium' keeping it from being excreted to balance blood pH. In addition' magnesium supports the absorption of vitamin D3 within the body. Vitamin D is vital to calcium absorption and overall bone health.
Why Magnesium Plus Guard?
Magnesium Plus Guard by Perque only contains pharmaceutical-grade ingredients or better' which are vital for keeping the bones dense with minerals. The key to increasing your body's magnesium store is in proper absorption. A supplement is deemed useless' if your body can't absorb an adequate amount of the mineral. As it is' most people can only absorb 4 to 30 percent of magnesium supplements on the market. This is because they usually contain the oxide or chloride forms of magnesium' which are innately difficult to absorb. The absorption rates vary so much because different people absorb magnesium differently. If you decide to take Perque's Magnesium Plus Guard' you will be supplying your body with four of the most highly-available forms of magnesium' giving your body the best chance for absorption.
If you are severely deficient in magnesium' magnesium supplements alone may not be enough to eliminate symptoms. In these cases' Perque recommends that you take its Choline Citrate product along with your magnesium supplement. Choline citrate has been found ot help carry magnesium through cell membranes' further increasing absorption.

Works Great
Most magnesium supplements I have tried have been hard for me to handle and have given me intestinal issues. I have had no problems with Mg Plus Guard by Perque and have been able to take it every day. My neurologist wants me to take magnesium to help with my headaches so I am glad that i finally found something I can take on a consistent basis.

Best Magnesium
Mg Plus Guard by Perque is by far the best magnesium I have ever used. My doctor recommended it for muscle spasms and tremors I was having due to chronic Lyme disease. This magnesium does not cause typical side effects of magnesium when first starting. I can take a smaller dosage of this brand compared to other magnesium brands.

Favorite Magnesium Supplement Ever
I have been a big fan for years of Natural Calm...until I decided to try Mg Plus Guard. Absolutely Mg Plus Guard is superior. Same results and symptom relief without the need to mix a powder into something so that I could tolerate the awful taste. Even though Mg Plus Guard is a capsule it does not seem to affect how it works.
simple; no need to mix into juice or food; easy to dose up or down with the capsults
nothing that I dislike

Ive been taking is supp once per day for a heart arythmia and find that it prevents all of my symptoms. My cardiologist suggested taking 400mg per day as meds didnt agree with me.

Im going to make splits and need to get bees off of the frames. I was wondering if the shaking causes problems to the larvae or brood and that I should just use a brush to get them off. Which is less stressful for the bees?
Im going to make splits and need to get bees off of the frames. I was wondering if the shaking causes problems to the larvae or brood and that I should just use a brush to get them off. Which is less stressful for the bees?
When we make splits we move the bees with the frames and mabee shake a couple more frames of bees into the split, but when I want all the bees off the frame I shake first then brush.
Just my 2¢
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
I've noticed no problems with shaking. I just grafted three dozen larvae on Saturday and they didn't seem to be bothered by shaking, though I would probably avoid shaking them now. I brush full honey frames just because they're heavier.
I have shaked and can get almost all the bees off the frames with a couple of shakes.
The problem with the brush is it makes them testy, mad and down right displeasing to work with. I have two brushes and rarely use them
One thing that helps if you brush them is to spritz the brush with water. It gets on the wings a bit and makes them nicer. I've helped a few pros and they all spritz and use a heavy hand on brushing from the boxes. Frames most of them just shake.
Disclaimer: I know enough to know I don't know anything yet.
Bees don't mind being pushed along in front of the brush bristles, but if rolled under trailing bristles, they come up fighting mad. Brush with less pressure on the bristles.
Shaking frames of brood for the purposes of splitting works well. Brushing works well too, if you have one. Don't shake frames of young larvae for grafting and never shake a frame of queen cells, brush both.
Mark Berninghausen
Reasons not to shake:
1) if there is a queen cell involved it will damage the queen.
2) if you have fragile comb (new comb, comb that isn't partly attached on all four sides etc.)
Either way, remember, it is the element of surprise. It requires suddenness to brush (flick them) and it requires suddenness to shake. Never try to be gentle when brushing or shaking.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
When harvesting frame at a time, place your work-into box several yards away with a flat, oversized cover panel. Lift out a harvestable frame, shake vigorously over the open hive, and continuously while moving to the collection box. When you get to the work-into box, you will have no bees on the frame. The trick is to move the cover, get the frame into the box, and replace the cover without having airbourn bees alight on the frame.
with harvesting honey I much more prefer brushing to shaking. If you have a full frame of honey you can shake it right out of the frame.

I use a big feather to brush the bees now. I never can get enough bees off by shaking and since I use foundationless I'm a little worried about doing it to much, especially on the TBH's. When I used a brush the bees always burrowed into the brush and would be quite mad when they finally got out. I use quick short strokes with the feather and it seems to work much better, maybe I just never figured out how to use the brush right

A guy is 86 years old and loves to fish.
He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up."
He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,
"Pick me up." He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.
The man said, "Are you talking to me?"
The frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up.
Then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.
I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have me as your bride."
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, then put it in his front pocket.
Then the frog said, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said?
I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride."
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, "Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog."

Just got into shooting pistols and I'm looking for anything you got on good ranges, good shops, good anything in the Southeastern PA area. I live in Montgomery County. I grew up in an area where there were alot of Rod and Gun Clubs, but not so much around here. I was thinking about checking out Lower Providence R&GC since they have a pistol range and their web-site seems welcoming enough. Checking state game lands for public ranges didn't seem to show a whole lot of anything nearby.
So, how and where do you shoot? Is it worth going to Target World or Classic pistol or try elsewhere?

I buy, trade, and sell a lot of handguns. It is a lifelong hobby. Everytime I log onto the Handgun Classifieds in this forum I get the following message:
"To access this forum your post count must be 50 or greater."
That makes no sense to me. I currently have 23 posts. So should I go around posting meaningless comments just to increase my post count to 50 so I can get access to folks who want to sell their guns? This rule must keep several people from being able to buy and trade with those who want to sell something. It penalizes those with over 50 posts who have something for sale from being contacted by those of us with less than 50 posts who might want to buy what they have. I frequent Glocktalk, The Highroad, The Firing Line, The Sig Forum, The S&W Forum, and others, and none of them has this rule. So my trading is confined to the other forums. It would be nice to participate on this one, but it seems senseless to me to have to have 50 posts to participate.
You're almost halfway there and besides, according to your join date, you've been a member here for almost two years...
A lot of forums have this kind of rule, which in my opinion is quite sensible.
I wouldn't feel comfortable buying or selling from someone new to the forum, as all sales here are purely private sales and you don't have the same comeback as you would, for example on an auction site.
Here's an excerpt from the Forum Guidelines you must have missed:To insure a trusting environment for forum members, an established post count history of a registered member must be in place before placing an ad. Persons posting empty or useless posts that do not add to the conversation just to gain access to the classifieds section will be warned, their posts deleted, and face being banned from the forums.
And another excerpt:The forum is an inappropriate venue for publicly discussing any problems you may have with the rules or the administration of the forum. Please contact the moderators or administrators privately by email or PM if you have concerns about rules and administration.

[QUOTE=Keith Jarrett;856762]
Keith, I think your tripping over my usage of the word easy. There are many bee keepers that think it is easy to get into their bobcats. It is if your comparing that to getting into a crane. I was simply pointing out that it is more difficult to get on and off on the drivers right side of the 1k than the turbo. Swinger did not design it for you access it from that side(although you can). So some people may not care(we were actually planning on purchasing the 1k despite these inefficiencies)if it's a little harder and some may never use that side but we do and we do it a lot to make it a difference for us.
"P.S. The one quote I here most is, I should-of bought the 1k."
And remember, those bee keepers were comparing the 1k to the turbo, not the XRT. Comparing the 1600 to the 1k is like trying to compare the turbo to the XRT(at least from what I've seen, but I admit that I haven't test driven the XRT yet.)

The NBA season gets underway today at 12pm after an offseason filled with blockbuster trades, signings and roster shake-ups. Here are some of the top storylines to watch as the season unfolds:
The Oklahoma City Thunder changed the power balance of the league by trading star guard James Harden to the Houston Rockets for shooting guard Kevin Martin, promising rookie guard Jeremy Lamb and several first and second round draft picks just days before the season tip-off. NBA players and front offices reacted with shock. Harden was a crucial part of a Thunder team which made it to the finals just months ago. His beard was a potent symbol of basketball dominance. He was also much more popular than Russell Westbrook, who earned a max contract from the team before producing what Magic Johnson called the "worst game I've ever seen from a point guard in the finals".
Still, the trade makes sense. Harden wanted a max contract. If the Thunder had offered one, they would have been paying millions in 'luxury tax' under the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement. For the Lakers or the Knicks, that's no problem. For a small market team like Oklahoma, it can be crippling. Now they're going forward with a good scoring guard on an expiring contract (Martin), a possible future star (Lamb) and several picks, including one likely to be in the top 10, which could become key players.
More importantly, they keep flexibility to sign better players going forward, rather than pinning all their hopes on a star trio (Durant, Westbrook and Harden) and praying no-one breaks their leg. They'll be worse this year, but the future is still bright.
Oh, Houston will also be much better this year now they've got Harden. Stats guru John Hollinger says their projected win total just rose by ten.
The Lakers are back
The Lakers just can never slip into mediocrity for long. They responded to a disappointing 2011-12 second round playoff exit by somehow constructing a trade with their arch rival Phoenix Suns for veteran playmaker Steve Nash. The 38-year-old is the best point guard Kobe Bryant has ever played with. Then the team acquired the best centre in the league. Dwight Howard came to the team from Orlando in a four team trade which saw the Lakers send their own star centre Andrew Bynum to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Lakers now have four certain Hall of Fame players (Howard, Pau Gasol, Bryant and Nash) in their starting five and they shored up their bench by signing veteran forward Antawn Jamison and backup centre Jordan Hill. This team looks like it will be competing with the San Antonio Spurs and the slightly weakened Thunder to make it out of the Western Conference and into the finals. However, that's only if Bryant can rein in his ball hogging tendencies and defer to his newfound superstar teammates. So far the signs are not promising.
New York state of mind
The New York Knicks, one of the iconic NBA franchises, have been a joke for a long time. The team has been besieged by managerial incompetence and perpetually poor play for more than a decade. In recent years they signed star forwards Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, only to find the pair had no chemistry and could not make it out in the first round of the playoffs.
Last year the Knicks received an unexpected blessing in the form of Harvard-educated Asian-American point guard Jeremy Lin. Mired at the end of the bench for the start of the season, injuries and incompetence spurred Lin into the starting line-up midseason. He responded with an array of unbelievable performances sparking the phenomenon known as 'Linsanity'.
Knicks management responded in typical fashion. They refused to pay Lin and let him walk to the Houston Rockets. Then they signed Raymond Felton, who was last seen looking overweight and uninterested in basketball by increasingly irate Portland Trailblazers fans, before setting about constructing the oldest team in NBA history. Veteran point guard Jason Kidd, 39, signed with the team (two days later he got drunk and drove his car into a ditch). Other signings included 38-year-old centre Marcus Camby and 40-year-old centre Kurt Thomas. The team are likely to make it to the playoffs again before again getting knocked out in the first or second round.
Meanwhile, across the East River in Brooklyn, a rival franchise has formed. The Brooklyn Nets, previously the New Jersey Nets, will be playing in the new Barclays Centre with the just-acquired (and overpaid) shooting guard Joe Johnson, re-signed point guard Deron Williams and a reasonably competent supporting cast. If they're lucky, they may be good enough to see some disillusioned Knicks fans defecting to their ranks.
Will the Heat repeat?
With all the drama swirling around them, the defending champion Miami Heat had a solid offseason. They signed veteran sharpshooter Ray Allen from the Boston Celtics and forward Rashard Lewis. Allen is a particularly good pickup for a team that creates a lot of wide open three point shots from the corners with dribble penetration. His signing has been controversial. Former teammate Kevin Garnett has officially broken up with Allen, deleting his number from his phone. The teams will get a chance to work out their differences in their season opening game on Wednesday in Miami.
The signings don't change the core of the team. Their bid to repeat as NBA champions still rests on the shoulders of the best player in the game, LeBron James, and his superstar teammates Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. If they can stay healthy, this team has to be the favourite to take their second title in a row. James needs to keep winning them if he's really serious about beating Michael Jordan and becoming the best player of all time.

Julian Assange:
Why the world needs WikiLeaks
The controversial website WikiLeaks collects and posts highly classified documents and video. Founder Julian Assange, who's reportedly being sought for questioning by US authorities, talks to TED's Chris Anderson about how the site operates, what it has accomplished — and what drives him. The interview includes graphic footage of a recent US airstrike in Baghdad.

Beautiful studio, love your buddies to they are so cute!!!!
What a wonderful space and one morning you will wake up and decide it is now your studio, please share with us when you get there.
What a great space. Congratulations.
VERY nice. Wish I had that much space.
How lucky to have a quilting space independent of the living space. Sure makes it easier to close the door behind you and walk away
You've got yourself a great studio.
My best is the least I can do.
Very Nice Sewing Palace. You are very LUCKY.
Sew Much Fabric, Sew Little Time...
Thanks for all the great comments. Yes, I do feel like it is my quilting palace. Not very fancy and it is a very rustic looking outbuilding, but it has wonderful space - heat and a/c - bathroom - place for coffee maker, microwave, and small fridge. I couldn't ask for more and I seriously feel gratitude for it every day.
NICE!!!!, You have a studio of your own
happy to have enough stash fabric at all time

|celebrating my third birthday with my mom.
I'm so excited (and a little nervous) to do another charity event on my blog, but why not? You all completely overwhelmed me with your generosity during our first project. Remember when we raised $660 in one weekend? Let's do it again--only this time let's raise a whopping $3,500 by November 4th!
Here's my short term goal: Raise $500 by the end of today. We're almost there, only $78 more to go! Please click here to donate any amount you want. :)
|My backyard the night my mom died.
I'll never forget the moment I left the hospital for the last time. The sun was setting as I walked out of the building and onto the hospital parking lot to drive home. The sky stopped me in my tracks. It was bursting with yellows, pinks, and reds. I wanted to believe that she was seeing the same sunset and experiencing the clouds, the sky, and light in a way she was never able to on earth. This made me happy for her. She always told me Florida had the best clouds and tonight, I imagined, they were all hers to enjoy.
I eventually got into my car and started it. REM's album Automatic For The People
This drive home gave me a minute to process everything and reflect on my life with my mom. When I finally arrived at my house, I saw my dad and sister in the backyard admiring the sunset too. I joined them and together we talked. It was nice to be with them and feel their love. I took a few pictures of the sunset so I would always remember it.
That night I learned in order to get through this challenging time of my life, I needed to find the perfect balance of solitude and companionship. I needed time to reflect alone, but I also needed my community of friends and family for support. This lesson has stayed with me ever since and eventually led me to sign up for Fred's Team.
Fred's Team offers that perfect balance I always seek.
Thought you should know:
One hundred percent of the funds raised by Fred's Team go to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the nation's preeminent center for research and treatment devoted exclusively to cancer, and at least 80 percent of the total supports pioneering research. I was excited to have the option to specifically choose to raise money for breast cancer.

ANAHEIM -- In their final preseason game Saturday night, the Sharks learned their power play can produce quickly even without Joe Thornton and Brent Burns.
Three rapid power-play goals at the Honda Center enabled the Sharks to beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-5 and finish preseason play with four victories in six games.
"Jumbo (Thornton) and Brent both play huge parts in it," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said about the power play. "But we feel comfortable that we have people who can step in and fill that role, maybe not to the same extent."
With Thornton and Burns not dressed for the game, McLellan devised two power-play units. One containing Jason Demers, Tommy Wingels, Matt Nieto, Tyler Kennedy and Matt Irwin broke a 2-2 tie in the first period.
Anaheim's Ben Lovejoy went to the penalty box for boarding at 17:24. Seven seconds later, Demers converted Nieto's pass to put the Sharks ahead 3-2. Nieto emerged from a jam at the left-wing boards to make the pass.
"He's been a very, very nice surprise," McLellan said of Nieto. "He makes us faster and for a small man, he does not get knocked off pucks. He's willing to take a hit. That skating ability is something we need."
In the second period, after extending their lead to 4-2, the Sharks scored while holding a two-man advantage. The Ducks' Ryan Getzlaf joined Matt Beleskey in the penalty box at 5:15. Dan Boyle 16 seconds later.
Anaheim drew within 5-4 after scoring twice during a 14-second span in the third period. But 13 seconds after the Ducks' Devante Smith-Pelly drew a penalty, Boyle scored his second power-play goal of the night.
Freddie Hamilton, who played on the second power-play unit, also attracted praise from McLellan.
"Freddie played a good two-way game," he said. "He has come a long way in his one year as a pro. He's very reliable defensively, and you don't see that in a lot of 20-year olds."
Goalie Antti Niemi made 13 saves while playing all 60 minutes. Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski each had a goal and an assist, while Wingels amassed three assists.
The Sharks' scratches included forward Tomas Hertl, who scored three preseason goals. Also not dressed were forward Anthony Stewart, who was invited to camp, and defensemen Taylor Doherty and Matt Tenneyson.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
they need to start looking for Eli's replacement eventually. We however do need someone that is serviceable to step in if Eli were hurt and do a decent job. You kinda don't get that feeling with Carr
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-

1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!

Cai Guo-Qiang has mounted his two big crocodiles at head height, where you can peer into their snapped open jaws lined with fangs. The yellow, pasty maws give away that the brawny critters are made of cast resin. But they still feel lifelike. Even though they're each impaled on half a dozen pointed bamboo poles, and stabbed with hundreds of rusty pocket knives, scissors, forks, and screwdrivers, it's unnerving to stare into those jaws, especially if you're familiar with how still live crocs can sit as they lay in ambush.
Cai's "Clear Sky Black Cloud" is a slide show of photos shot by a camera always in the same place on New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art's roof, recording visitors gazing at black clouds blotting the sunny sky over Central Park. They are small clouds, like rainclouds that follow a particularly unlucky cartoon character, but they're still ominous.
"Sustainable Beauty," a five-person show at Candita Clayton Studio (999 Main Street, unit 105, Pawtucket, through October 31), is about pretty nature and pretty flowers. Jenny Brown makes delicate ink and collage drawings of bouquets of blood red and inky black flowers. Mimo Gordon Riley paints impressionist trees with sun shining through the branches like stained glass. Kate Blacklock photographs arrangements of hydrangeas and other blossoms. It's all rather saccharine. Didi Suydam is in this same sweet, sweet territory with her digital photos of cherry blossoms and reflecting lakes in which she inverses the colors so they resemble negatives. This inversion freshens the theme. The leaves of a forest all turn blue. What looks to have originally been a setting sun becomes a black hole. In Flash Dream, tree trunks turn icy white against a lilac background. Here and there are turquoise smudges. The results are painterly and slick with a wintery chill.
"Independents" at West Side Arts (745 Westminster Street, Providence, through November 14) takes inspiration from the independent spirit of the founders of Providence to assemble a show of (mostly) street-style art. Much of the work seems like it's yet to emerge out of the shadows cast by Swoon, Shepard Fairey, or '70s wild style graffiti — but you can appreciate the gang's energy.

Innovations in Education
From our small towns to our inner cities, I've visited innovative charter schools throughout the country that are changing the face of education. Like the schools highlighted in this guide, successful charter schools are showing their drive to improve levels of student achievement and their commitment to the difficult task of educating every child.
The seven schools profiled here are dispelling the myth that some students cannot achieve to high standards. They demonstrate that when presented with a challenging curriculum, high expectations, and the proper support, all our students can excel academically.
In this guide, you will read about schools that are acting as laboratories for innovative educational practices. Many implement a longer academic day and year, some provide programs based on community needs, and all are proving that breaking tradition and taking risks can yield tremendous results for students.
This guide is part of a series produced by the U.S. Department of Education, and it builds on two previous works: Successful Charter Schools, which was published in 2004, and Charter High Schools Closing the Achievement Gap, which was published last year. Previous guides have highlighted promising practices to expand the pool of high-quality charter schools and strategies to engage parents. A forthcoming publication will feature ways in which distance learning can increase students' access to rigorous academic course work.
I hope the following examples of charter schools will help other schools and communities as they work to close achievement gaps and reach our goal of every child reading and doing math at grade level by 2014. The demands of the 21st century are not going to wait, and we need schools that will help every child reach his or her potential today.

Comfortable apartament in a great localization. There is everything you need in it and there are lots of shops, cafes and restaurants around. The host is a nice and helpful man. It was very good staying.
We were been in Paris for 5 days in july, in the meantime there was the european soccer championship. Our vacation was really great: the apartament was superb, in strategic position not more 15 minutes away by walk from Notredame and Louvre museum. Whaz more the landlord Herve was really kind with us explaining all the facilities of the apartament as the tv with satellite channels in italian languages, the wifi connection at about 25mb/s, bathroom and all the rest. Really kind and always disposable even by Whatsapp :-) very good. At the end he gave is a cute present. Maybe the only problem is that apartament is at 4th floor.
Luca e Rita
A small but very cosy apartment perfectly located in the Marais, in a little street with many Chinese stores, and above a fine Chinese bakery. Close to Centre Pompidou, Picasso Museum and also to Notre Dame cathedral. Hervé is a very friendly and nice host, helpful and easygoing.
We were very friendly welcomed and hosted and really enjoyed everything! The apartment was clean and cozy, had everything we needed and an excellent location!! Thank you very much to Joanne and Hervé, we had a great time! :)
Great location, clean and just big enough for the weekend. Although we had a 2 hour delay Hervé was still waiting at the studio and told us a lot about the city.
We had a great time here.
I was in that Studio with my boyfriend in March and it was great! It's closer to the metro that takes you everywhere in Paris due to its good public transport network.
The study is quite small but trust me, it is enough to sleep and to have breakfast.
Of course, the best was the location, the peaceful neirbourhood and that Joanne was really helpful.
Thanks Joanne! Kisses from Spain!
We have spent a really good time in this apartament. Well situated, near everything you need. Joanne helped us and she gave us a little present after our stay. If we came back to Paris, we would repeat!
Staying at Hervé's studio has been truly great! He was really kind! He greeted us and shared tips around the area and some great recommendations. The amazing central location of the studio made the exploration of the city a breeze.
Very well located in the centre of Paris. Hervé gave us a very kind welcome. He gave us some great information; he was very helpful and flexible.
The studio is little but confortable, is warm and quite,very easy to manage and very well located to enjoy Paris city centre. We found it clean and it's just like the pictures show it. The man Who welcome Us, Hervé, was very helpfull and kind. He's a very nice person Who made us feel just like at home.
Highly recomended
