I reload 40SW. After loading,some of the brass will not chanber in my case gage,while the others ran through the same resizer will.Has the case stretched or been reloaded too many times? It is always to big at the bottom.The loads i use are 5.0 WSL for a 140 grain FP, which is on bottom end or even starting load because of good performance.

Die may not do bottoms especially after high pressure loads. Still may chamber in gun though....
Is it a Glock.....reloading not recommended for these as per manufacturer !

Wow, Don. You need to go over your reloading notes to be sure you aren't making some excessively high pressure rounds. If the web area of the case won't fit into a case gauge, you may be doing just that. As Big Bunny said, the average die doesn't resize the web of a case and it usually isn't necessary to do so. One of the most reliable signs of over pressure is when the web has increased in diameter, even just a little.

Not familiar with the 40 caliber rounds, but Glock 45's seem to do "strange" things to cases.
My own brass, or cases fired in non Glock pistols, 45ACP, resized without problems. Range pick up, fired in Glocks, when resized ends up trying to look like a belted case. When I see that, I pitch the brass. I can "feel" the difference in the resizing operation too.

Taken in part from the Steyer M40 review on 1911.com:
Some manufacturers of 9mm pistols simply rebarrelled, modified the breechface
and put in a stiffer recoil spring to develop their initial .40 S&W pistols.
Since the .40/10mm bullet is bigger than a 9mm, the only way to get the .40 to
feed reliably was to create an intrusive feed ramp, and possibly an oversized
chamber to match. Thus the .40 S&W "Unsupported Chamber" was born. This was a
quick and dirty fix by some manufacturers to get to market fast.
Other manufacturers either started from scratch or went through the added
expense to redesign their 9's to safely handle the .40 with a well-supported
chamber that still feeds reliably. These types of .40 pistols are therefore
safer to use, whether you shoot factory ammo or reloaded ammo.
If you want to find out if your .40 has a well supported chamber, then do
this: Measure the diameter of the lower, most expanded part of some fired
brass. After the first measurement, rotate the brass slightly and measure it
again because the brass sometimes measures greater from a certain angle
because of the 6-o'clock chamber opening affect. If your brass measures .431
or greater, then your chamber is entering into unsupported territory. Also,
put a round into the barrel and look at the 6-o'clock position of the chamber
opening. If the thin part of the brass wall is exposed, or too much brass is
exposed, you have an unsupported chamber. "Both" of these measurements are
important to determine if your chamber is well supported or not. The greatest
brass expansion occurs when shooting full power loads.
The diameter of fully supported chanber brass usually measures around .427 -.429 for full
power loads. The Glock .40 can expand brass as much as .431 .433, which is a
huge difference.
Generally speaking, ammo and gun companies don't care about reloading safety
and case life. Some of the newer reloading manuals have strong warnings about
reloading for pistols with unsupported chambers, especially concerning high-
pressure cartridges.
One positive side effect of Glock's famous unsupported chamber and their
marketing omnipresence, is that some ammo companies have beefed up their .40
S&W brass so it has a better chance of surviving when fired in a Glock
A "Miss" is the ultimate overpenetration!
You can never be too rich, too skinny, or too well armed!

I also reload .40 S&W, and I ran into exactly the same problem. I had a SW99 in .40 S&W, and after firing in this gun the brass would not fit into the case guage. Even worse, if it was accidently run through another .40 S&W, it would stick in the chamber. I called Smith and Wesson, and even sent the gun back to them, and their response was that they didn't care what my problem with reloads were, it would work fine with factory ammo.
I traded this gun away and got a Beretta Brigadier Elite in .40 S&W, which has no such problem with the same and even higher pressure reloads. I think that the chamber on the SW99 was just a hair oversize, or else it was unsupported (?)... Whatever the exact reason, changing to the Beretta was my solution.

Is the Browning High Power Practical in 40 Liberty fully supported? When the barrel is removed from the weapon and a round is insterted, no brass is visable anywhere around the case. I thought that meant fully supported? Do I need instead to do the drill with measuring the case? One reason with buying a 40cal was the ready availability of brass for reloading. This shouldn't be a problem in a fully supported chamber. Right? Thanks, Bill.

FRESNO, Calif. -- A former Fresno State basketball player was convicted Tuesday of threatening a man with a Samurai sword in his apartment just hours after a game.
Avondre Jones, the Bulldogs' starting center last year, and recruit Kenny Brunner were arrested in March after an acquaintance said they threatened him with a gun, beat him with Samurai swords and stole his camera and cash.
Fresno State will play Georgia on Saturday in the Delta Air Lines Classic For Kids in the Georgia Dome at 5 p.m.
The attack happened just hours after the Bulldogs defeated Memphis in the NIT and a day after Fresno State officials criticized CBS' ''60 Minutes'' for focusing on the legal and drug troubles of the school's athletes.
Jones was convicted on two misdemeanor counts for the threat. He also was convicted on a felony charge of having a gun while on probation and a misdemeanor marijuana charge. He was acquitted on six of the charges, including theft, extortion and assault with a deadly weapon.
Jones, who had been on probation for gun possession when he was arrested, faces up to five years in prison at his Feb. 3 sentencing. A separate hearing was scheduled for Brunner later this month.
Jones dropped out of school after his arrest in March and probably will not return to Fresno State to complete his degree, Tarkanian said.

Nov 3 (Reuters) - Australia's thermal coal prices continued to drop with spot purchases from major buyers Japan, South Korea and Taiwan at a minimum and Chinese utilities on the sidelines as they waited for clearer indications of demand.
Thermal coal on the global COAL Newcastle index for the week to date closed at $117.13 per tonne on Wednesday, down from $117.44 per tonne a week earlier.
On Wednesday, a 25,000 tonne parcel for December delivery traded at $116.25 per tonne on the globalCOAL screen and a 75,000 parcel for January traded at $116.50 per tonne.
"Your Japan, South Korea, Taiwan buyers are going quietly through their long-term contracts so they are not a big player... and China is slowing down, so it's a double negative," one Singapore-based trade source said.
The slump in Chinese buying will impact not only Newcastle prices, but Indonesian prices, the source said. Indonesian sub bituminous coal was seen with prices around $85 per tonne for 4,900 kcal/kg NAR coal.
"I think we are at a point were there is just no appetite," an Australia-based trade source said, adding that some high caloric value Indonesian coal had traded at a steep discount for very prompt delivery and offers of Australian coal at a discount received limited interest.
The globalCOAL price index for Australia has fallen from nearly $130 per tonne in March as demand from Australia's biggest buyer, Japan, has waned as a result of damage to coal-fired facilities and infrastructure during the tsunami earlier this year.
But prices are still more than 20 percent higher than prices a year ago when prices were below $100 per tonne.
Australian thermal coal shipments from Newcastle port dropped nearly 24 percent in the week ending Oct. 31 to 1.87 million tonnes, down from 2.45 million tonnes the prior week due to a combination of changes in scheduling, equipment problems, and a planned rail outage.
In China, demand was very weak, with utilities mostly having a wait-and-see attitude due to uncertainty about December demand and ports well-stocked with reports of large stockpiles.
China's domestic coal prices were flat at 853 yuan ($134.176) per tonne during the last week, according to the weekly Bohai-Rim Bay thermal coal price index published Wednesday.
One Shanxi-based major buyer said it received a lot of offers and some prices were attractive compared to domestic prices.
China, the world's biggest producer and consumer of coal, generally turns to imports when domestic prices rise above the cost of procuring supplies from elsewhere and lower freight rates and declining prices in Australia could make imports attractive.

When the 2005 season began, the Chavez Ravine air was rife with optimism. The Dodgers were fresh off their National League West division title in 2004 and a popular pick to return to the playoffs. But after a promising 12-2 start, their season slipped away and they finished at 71-91, the franchise's second-worst record (63-99 in 1992) since moving from Brooklyn in 1958.
Injuries and unsuccessful acquisitions spelled doom in the second season under the guidance of general manager Paul DePodesta. Los Angeles players missed 1,150 games due to injury, the most on any Dodgers club in two decades.
While Jeff Kent (two years, $19 million) produced as expected, DePodesta's two biggest free-agent acquisitions—J.D. Drew (five years, $55 million) and Derek Lowe (four years, $36 million)—were disappointments. Meanwhile, Kent and Milton Bradley engaged in an ugly clubhouse feud.
All the chaos looked mild compared to the front-office turmoil that began the day after the season ended. DePodesta and manager Jim Tracy opted to part ways, with Tracy surfacing with the Pirates and taking pitching coach Jim Colborn and bench coach Jim Lett with him.
DePodesta's search for a new manager abruptly halted four weeks later when owner Frank McCourt fired him. While McCourt didn't detail the reasons for the dismissal, he said his criteria for a new GM included communication skills and the ability to evaluate talent. The Dodgers turned to Ned Colletti, assistant GM for the Giants under Brian Sabean for the last nine years.
Asked if the Dodgers were presently capable of putting a division winner on the field, Colletti smiled and said, "No." But thanks to the deepest and most talented farm system in baseball, the Dodgers are on the cusp of becoming perennial contenders.
Double-A Jacksonville cruised to the Southern League championship (the first for a Dodgers affiliate since 2002). The first five players on this prospect list—righthander Chad Billingsley, third baseman Andy LaRoche, shortstop Joel Guzman, catcher Russell Martin and righty Jonathan Broxton—starred for the Suns, the Minor League Team of the Year.
Most of the Dodgers' top prospects have been signed since Logan White became scouting director following the 2001 season. His first-round picks have included Billingsley (2003), lefthander Scott Elbert (2004) and third baseman Blake DeWitt (2004), all of whom made this Top 10, and first baseman James Loney (2002) and righty Justin Orenduff (2004), who just missed.
White's 2005 draft doesn't initially appear as promising as his first three efforts. Los Angeles forfeited its first-round pick for signing Lowe as a free agent and spent its first pick on Tennessee righthander Luke Hochevar. After a summer with little give and take, Hochevar switched agents in September and agreed to a $2.98 million bonus, then reneged and falsely accused White of trying to coerce him into signing a bad contract. The negotiations don't appear salvageable.

May 16 (Reuters) - English soccer club Manchester United raised its full-year revenue and profit guidance after strong broadcast revenue helped to lift the club's third quarter revenue figures.
United, whose leading players include Paul Pogba and Wayne Rooney, said it expected to report full-year revenue between 560-570 million pounds, better than its previous forecast of between 530-540 million pounds.
Broadcasting revenue grew 12.9 percent to 31.4 million pounds($40.5 million) for the quarter ended March 31, primarily due to the impact of the new Premier League broadcasting agreement, the club said.
Total revenue for the quarter grew 3.1 percent to 127.2 million pounds.
United increased its forecast for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amoritisation to 185-195 million pounds for 2016-17. ($1 = 0.7760 pounds) (Reporting by Rahul B in Bengaluru; Editing by Keith Weir)

Just when you think that getting more shut-eye is a far-off dream, your baby will begin to sleep longer stretches at night. Baby's sleep cycle is getting closer to yours, and he or she is able to hold more milk in the tummy.
But don't assume you'll be hitting the snooze button just yet. At this stage, "sleeping through the night" is considered to be a stretch of only 5 or 6 hours.
Since babies this age are more awake, alert, and aware of their surroundings during daylight hours, they're more likely to be tired at night and sleep. But the range of normal is still very wide.
By 3 months of age, babies tend to sleep about 14 hours a day. Many will have settled into a daily sleep routine of two or three naps during the day, followed by "sleeping through the night" stretch after a late-night feeding.
Again, not all infants keep to the same timetable. If you have questions or concerns, check with your doctor.
Follow these safety precautions with your little one:
Although many cultures endorse bed-sharing, there is a risk that the baby can suffocate or strangle, and multiple studies show that there's a higher incidence of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in households where the baby slept in the parents' bed. This is especially true for babies of mothers who smoke. A safer option is to room-share and have a separate crib or bassinet in the room with you. You can enjoy many of the benefits of bed-sharing (making feeding easier, getting back to sleep faster, etc.) without the risks.
If you haven't already, start a bedtime routine that will be familiar and relaxing for your baby. Bathing, reading, and singing can soothe babies and signal an end to the day. Be consistent and your baby will soon associate these steps with sleeping.
If you rock your baby to sleep before bedtime, your little one may expect to be rocked to sleep after nighttime awakenings. Instead, try putting your baby into a crib or bassinet while drowsy but still awake. This way your baby will learn to fall asleep on his or her own.
Although it may be hard at first, some experts suggest this is also the age to start letting your baby fuss for a few minutes when he or she wakes during the night. Your baby may simply be in a phase of light slumber, even though you think he or she is wide awake. Some babies squirm, whine, and even cry in their sleep before falling back to sleep on their own.
Unless you suspect that your baby is hungry or ill, try to see what happens if you leave your baby alone. It will help you all in the long run if your baby can develop the skill of going back to sleep without your help.
If your baby wakes during the period that you want him or her to sleep, keep activity to a minimum. Change or feed your baby in the dark, and don't play with the baby. Your little one will start to get the message that you're a bore during the night, so he or she might as well just go back to sleep. It can also help to keep your electronics and mobile devices off and to keep lighting low during night awakenings.
If your baby is waking early for a morning feeding, some small changes may allow a slight shift in schedule. You might try waking your baby for the late-night feeding at a time that suits your sleep schedule. For instance, if your baby sleeps after a 7 p.m. feeding and wakes up at 2 a.m. to eat, try waking the baby to feed at 11 p.m. and then put him or her down to sleep until an early-morning feeding at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. It may take a few nights to establish this routine, but being consistent will improve your chances of success.
If your baby's sleep habits concern you, speak with your doctor, who can reassure you or get to the root of a physical problem that may have no other symptoms besides crankiness or sleeplessness.
Either way, the doctor can help get you on the right track — the one that leads to more quality sleep for your baby and for you.

Hey, everyone!
As some of you know from my various social network feeds, I've entered the world of custom t-shirts via the popular t-shirt site TeeFury. The folks at TeeFury have been kind enough to let me get things kicked off with a flash sale featuring a set of designs based on my ABCDEFGeek series. ABCDEFGeek has been very popular and successful for me in the book sales area at comic book conventions and it has gotten some great word of mouth online. So I was hopeful that the series would be a good fit for t-shirts (I swear that wasn't intentional, I apologize to all pun-phobics).
The flash sale has not gone as well as I'd hoped over the course of the first day and a half, so I thought I'd reach out with a plea for people to pick up a shirt while the sale lasts (it will end late on Friday night). I'm hopeful that TeeFury will accept more ABCDEFGeek submissions in the future for their regularly featured tee spotlight, which (unlike flash sales) are featured at the top of their main page and sold for $11 as opposed to $17 (cheaper tees means more sales!). If this flash sale does not do well enough, I worry that TeeFury will not accept any more ABCDEFGeek submissions in the future.
I'm so grateful to everyone who has bought copies of Oddly Normal or the book version of ABCDEFGeek at conventions, but if you ever wanted to support me and my work in a small way, I would ask this: please buy a t-shirt for yourself or a friend during this flash sale at TeeFury. It would really help me to have a new revenue stream in the form of t-shirt sales. Unlike books or comics, which are enjoyed on a personal and private level, t-shirts are seen by anyone around the person wearing them and can immediately generate word-of-mouth. That's invaluable to the business I've chosen. This flash sale could be a pebble that rolls downhill and starts something bigger for me, and I can't tell you how much I need that right now.
My true passion is telling stories and I'm so thrilled to have my own series at Image Comics and have Oddly Normal sold in comic shops and bookstores. But the hard reality of the comic business is that it can be a tough road to walk when it comes to numbers and income, especially at the beginning of a series. If you had any doubt about that, see this recent article on the economics of comics.
So, there it is... I'm laying it all out and asking for your help to kick-start a new business venture by picking up an ABCDEFGeek t-shirt from TeeFury before the sale ends tomorrow night.
Thanks for reading. See ya' around!

A Warrenville man was killed this morning in a single-vehicle traffic accident.
According to a news release from Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton, Marcus A. Bass, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash happened about 8:30 a.m. on Highway 421 near Gentry Hill Road. According to witnesses, Mr. Bass was traveling at a high rate of speed when he attempted to pass in the right lane.
He lost control of the Ford Expedition he was driving, it left the roadway, struck several trees, and he was partially ejected through the sunroof.
A passenger, who was not identified, was taken to Medical College of Georgia Hospital. His status was not reported.
Both driver and passenger were not wearing their seatbelts, according to the coroner, and speed appears to be a significant factor in the crash -- the 35th traffic fatality in Aiken County in 2009.

Overall, Senate and House candidates running in 2000 raised $317 million during 1999, a 37 percent increase over the $232 million that candidates raised in 1997, the last year before a congressional election.
Giuliani, expected to compete with first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton for the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York, raised $11.8 million, tops among Senate candidates. Clinton was second at $8.1 million.
On the House side, Rogan, a top target of Democrats, raised $3 million. He was one of the lawmakers who presented the case for impeaching President Clinton to the Senate.
His Democratic opponent, California state Sen. Adam Schiff, raised more money than any other House challenger, $1.2 million.
The Democrats hope that Rogan's district will be one of six Republican-held seats they need to win to take back the House majority that the GOP captured in 1994. Most of the focus will be on 40 to 50 seats that are considered the most competitive.
With control of the chamber at stake, House candidates raised a record $199 million last year.
That was $63 million more than they raised in 1997, a 47 percent increase.
''A percentage rise of that magnitude is surprising yet understandable,'' said Herbert Alexander, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Southern California.
''Both parties' incumbents and challengers will be spending massively. The Democrats believe they can win control and the Republicans want to retain control.''
In all, the Senate candidates raised $118 million in 1999. In 1993, the last time these same Senate seats were on the ballot, the candidates raised $76 million.

Blain's Farm & Fleet retains name rights
In an agreement announced Monday in the year-long trademark infringement lawsuit between Blain's Supply and Runnings Supply, the Marshall, Minn.,-based retailer agreed to:
-- Drop any "Farm & Fleet" reference on its website.
-- Restrict the use of the Runnings Farm & Fleet name to Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska.
-- Not use "Farm & Fleet" without it being preceded by "Runnings" in those seven states.
Blain's spokesperson Renee Tarnutzer said the Janesville-based corporation was pleased with the terms.
"We get to use the trademark nationwide. Runnings is restricted to using it in the seven states (they currently operated in)," she said.
Tarnutzer had no comment Monday on whether Blain's plans to expand into any state where Runnings operates.
Runnings' conceding the use of "Farm & Fleet" on its website might be increasingly important in the future. Both companies used basically the same name for years as retailers in adjoining states, but Blain's filed suit in December 2009 as both chains turned to the Internet to gain sales.
When the suit was filed, Blain's attorney George Steil confirmed that Internet sales were among the key reasons for the suit.
"It causes confusion among customers and conflicts when two companies using the same name start selling the same merchandise over the Internet," Steil said.
In 1955, Blain's began using "Farm & Fleet" on its retail stores, which have since grown to number 34. In the 1980s, Claude and Bert Blain changed the name to Blain's Farm & Fleet to avoid confusion with Mills Fleet Farm, another Wisconsin retailer.
In 1996, Runnings began using the name Runnings Fleet & Farm but changed in early 2002, when Runnings' new name was challenged by Mills Fleet Farm. That resulted in Runnings switching the last two words in its trade name to Runnings Farm & Fleet.

On the subject of hotels and design, it is worth pointing readers towards Alexandra Lange's essay "Standard Operating Procedure." In the piece, published on Design Observer, Lange discusses the newly opened Standard Hotel in New York, placing it in context of the cities mid-century modernist architecture, and tracing the global influence of the design. It's well thought out, even if her lauding of the Standard's achievement doesn't agree with your sensibilities.

Author: Switchover Help Scheme
Published on 29 October 2012 10:00 AM
Eligible older and disabled people in Northern Ireland can still get help from the Switchover Help Scheme.
They have been offered practical help to convert one TV in their homes, including digital TV equipment, installation and 12 months aftercare. Most people will be asked to pay £40 towards the help, but for eligible people who are also on certain income related benefits it's free.
In Northern Ireland, eligible people can choose between two options at this cost:
The Switchover Help Scheme is sorry that many customers in Northern Ireland are waiting for installations. Applications have been higher in Northern Ireland than in any previous ITV regions and continued right up to switchover, and this is affecting the appointment dates we are able to offer those people who are applying now. In addition the Freeview HD box which gives access to RTE channels and TG4 has been even more popular than we expected, and we ran out of stock in the summer. People opting for that equipment were asked to wait until new stock came in. New supplies of the Freeview HD box arrive in the next two weeks, and people with existing orders will start getting them shortly. Some customers took up the installation of a standard Freeview box installation in the meantime. We will soon re-contact those customers to make an appointment to supply them with their chosen Freeview HD box. There has been no extra charge for this two-stage option. The Switchover Help Scheme is working very hard to install everyone's equipment as soon as we can and we are aiming to serve nearly everyone who's already applied by the end of the year.
The best way for eligible people to get the right information for their individual circumstances is to ring the customer call centre. The Help Scheme remains open for applications until November 24.
Switchover Help Scheme can be contacted on 0800 40 85 900 Monday to Friday 8am-8pm and Saturday and Sunday 8am-6pm.
Digital UK can be contacted on 08456 50 50 50 Monday to Friday 8am-7pm and Saturday 9am-5pm.

About Me
To prove to the world that we´re really all the same, in flesh and blood, but different in ideas and experiences, which makes it all the more interesting to be social human beings.
I am an extraverted introvert. I love traveling, languages, music, and art. I'm a certifiable museum nerd.
Have fun at all costs. Well, not at all costs per se, But you get my point.
You live and learn, and every day is a good day. Every experience is a learning experience.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I have yet to host, but was saved by couchsurfing in Peru. I fell sick and was taken in by a wonderful person who lived in Ecotruly Park, a Hari Krishna monastery. I lived with him and other devotees for about three weeks while I recovered. I get lots of couchsurfing messages from people passing through New York City and Syracuse, asking for advice or to hang out. I love couchsurfing!
I love ... in one word, art.
In more: video, photo, story-telling, animation, music (I play bass guitar), painting, designing, nature, and architecture.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I listen to everything you can imagine, from Italian gangster-rap to Chinese metal. I have a soft spot for Eurovision. I managed an alternative college radio station, and currently DJ for an FM station in Syracuse.
Some of my favorite bands are Gogol Bordello, Cut Copy, Children of Bodom, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Jarabe de Palo, Marina and the Diamonds, Diane Birch, Soda Stereo, Amy Winehouse, Manu Chao, and Kino. I love going to shows.
I also listen to A LOT of radio stories, from shows/podcasts such as The Moth, This American Life, and Radiolab.
Books: My alltime favorite is The Master and Margarita (Bulgakov) and anything by Haruki Murakami. I love O. Henry, Kurt Vonnegut, and Dostoyevsky. My guilty pleasures are cheesy sci-fi/fantasy novels. Actually, they are the bane of my existence because once I start reading one book, I will not stop until I have read at least 5 more. Books are like drugs.
Movies: I am obsessed with animation. I love Pixar and anything by Studio Ghibli. Recent favorites: La Femme Nikita, Submarine, Bridesmaids, Hearbreakers (the French film, not the American one!), Mermaid, Amelie.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I hitch-hiked through half of Peru. I got to Chiclayo in a pineapple and a rice truck, got robbed of all of my things that same day, and ended up living in Peru without my passport or money for three weeks. I was on Peruvian television twice, on the news for being assaulted in the street. I met a lot of amazing people, and learned that I'm not really afraid of anything anymore.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to hand-held electrically powered steam generating devices, such as a facial sauna, which cannot be overfilled, can be tilted in any direction when full without leaking and can mix air and steam in any desired proportions to control the concentration and temperature of the emitted steam. In addition, the facial sauna can be adapted to receive attachments such as a facial mask, concentrator, brush or sponge.
2. Prior Art
Prior steam generating devices and facial saunas have structures which permit them to be tilted in any direction without spilling. However, for the most part, these prior steam generating devices and facial saunas must be filled with a measured amount of liquid. In addition, they are not made to receive a self limiting amount through a fill means in the base.
Thus, Hettinger, U.S. Pat. No. 2,343,458, issued Mar. 7, 1944 discloses a vaporizer constructed of two cylinders or cups of sheet metal which are telescoped so that they form, respectively, the bottom and inside of the container and outside and top of the container. The top is provided with an aperture at one side for reception of a long spout which extends within the container for a substantial distance and is inclined at a sufficient angle to the vertical to prevent the user from getting burned if the device is tipped forward. The long inclined extension prevents water from running out of the spout if the container is not filled above a line marked on it.
Omohundro, U.S. Pat. No. 3,546,428, issued Dec. 8, 1970 discloses a steam generator which includes a water tank, electric heating unit and a spout that both expels steam from the water tank and receives water for introduction into the water tank. The spout has an inner portion extending into the water tank and spaced from the walls of the water tank a distance sufficient to permit retention of a predetermined amount of water, i.e., 28-35 cubic centimeters, within the tank after filling while the steam generator is in an upright position and then inverting to pour out excess water. There is no structure which permits filling the water tank from the bottom. Also, Omohundro provides an extension having holes, which extension connects on the end of the spout to increase the velocity of the steam as it is being expelled and permits the expelled steam to mix with ambient air, lowering the temperature of the steam. No fans or adjustable air intakes are used.
Doyel, U.S. Pat. No. 3,695,066, issued Oct. 3, 1972 discloses a portable hand-held steamer in which the housing is shaped so that when a certain quantity of water is contained therein, the housing has a capacity to contain the quantity of water in all directions taken about the geometric center thereof. A water fill hole is provided in the upper housing. A water measuring cup is provided which is designed to hold no more than the amount of water that is desirable to use in the vapor generator.
Plasko, U.S. Pat. No. 3,742,629, issued July 3, 1973 discloses a portable hand-held electric clothes steamer with a one piece housing having an integral fill opening intermediate a water chamber and a combined steam chamber and water trap. The fill opening is positioned so that the water will overflow the opening when the proper amount is in the chamber. This enables the water trap to work effectively and prevents the water from leaking out when the device is overturned.
Conlin, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,511,236, issued May 12, 1970 discloses a vaporizer in which air is drawn in by a fan through adjustable openings in the housing and is delivered to the vaporizing chamber. The steam generator of the present invention includes a fan which mixes air with the steam after the steam leaves the vaporizing chamber.
Naritomi, U.S. Pat. No. 3,745,306, issued July 10, 1973 discloses a steam generating instrument for hair dressing having a blower and steam generating means wherein the blower delivers the steam from the steam generating means into a venting duct and then to the hair.
There are no steam generating devices such as facial saunas which are filled from the bottom and cannot be overfilled, can be tilted in any direction without spilling or leaking and have the temperature of the steam controlled by mixing with air in the steam outlet pathway utilizing a fan and adjustable air inlet holes in the housing between the fan and steam generator.
This invention provides a portable, hand-held, leakproof, electric steam generating apparatus which in its preferred embodiment is a facial sauna.
The apparatus comprises a generally circular housing with a lower portion having a larger circumference than the upper portion which generally acts as a steam outlet nozzle. The lower housing has in its base a water fill tube leading to a water tank inside the base. The base of the water tank seals the lower portion of the lower housing from the water or other aqueous fluid in the water tank. There are interior baffle portions in the lower housing which define the lower portion of the water tank. A heater having a heating element is in the sealed off portion of the lower housing and has a heat transfer surface in the water tank to generate steam.
The upper housing which is sealed to the lower housing by a lap seam has air inlet means with means to control the volume of air, e.g. a circumferential row of air inlets between the top of the upper housing and the lap seam with a rotatable ring having holes around the upper outer housing over the circumferential row of air inlets. The ring is rotated to control the air flow volume. The housing contains walls defining an upper portion of the water tank connected to the lower portion of the water tank by passageways in a common baffle. The upper water tank inner baffle defines a steam exit pathway from the portion of the water tank where the steam is generated. The upper water tank also acts as a water trap when the apparatus is overturned. The steam exit pathway connects said steam generating area to a steam-air mixing chamber in a portion of the upper housing where the air enters from, e.g. the circumferential row of air inlets and preferably a second annular air inlet. A fan and a motor are attached to a motor housing defined by walls in the center top portion of the upper housing, with the fan in the steam-air mixing chamber. The steam mixed with air by the fan exits through an annular steam outlet around the motor housing. The second air inlet system which is a preferred construction is an annular air inlet between the annular steam outlet and the outer wall of the upper housing and is separated from the annular steam outlet by an inner wall in the upper housing. The inner wall has openings so the air can reach the air-steam mixing chamber. Another means to regulate the temperature is by use of specially structured attachments, i.e., brush, sponge, concentrator and facial mask.

FIG. 2 is a side elevational section of the preferred embodiment of this invention;
FIG. 3 is a top view of the air and steam outlets of this invention taken through line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing the legs and a fill tube taken through line 4--4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the facial mask attachment;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a concentrator tube attachment;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a brush attachment; and
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a sponge attachment.
The preferred embodiment of this invention is an electric, hand-held, portable facial sauna having an outer housing that is shaped generally like a round flask with a slanted elongated neck. Inside the housing are a base defining an electrical enclosure, a lower housing enclosing a water tank-steam generating chamber, the upper part of the water tank functions as a water trap and has a steam exit passageway. The upper housing contains air inlets, a motor and fan in an air-steam mixing chamber and steam outlets. The water tank can never be overfilled; it is filled with the required amount of liquid e.g., water or aqueous solutions or emulsions containing medicaments, colognes or perfumes, moisturizers and the like, without the need to measure or utilize markings on the housing. The tank is filled from the bottom through a fill tube which conducts the liquid into the lower part of the water tank and thence into the upper part of the water tank. When the tank is full, the excess water will begin to run out the top of the sauna through the steam outlet. When this occurs, the sauna is placed upright. Subsequent tilting or overturning will not cause liquid to run out since it is trapped by baffles in the tank around the steam generating area and steam exit pathway. The water tank is constructed so that no matter which way the sauna is tilted, there is sufficient volume in the water tank around the point at which the steam exit passageway begins, to hold all the water. In the most preferred embodiment this point occurs at the intersection of the axial center lines of the upper and lower parts of the water tank.
The upper housing contains air inlets through which air is drawn in by the fan and mixed with the steam from the steam generating area to cool the steam to a desired temperature. The amount of air drawn in by the fan is controlled by a rotating ring as described hereinafter. In addition, attachments such as a facial mask, concentrator tube, brush attachment and sponge attachment are structured so that when they are attached to the steam outlet they restrict air inflow from an air inlet in the top of the upper housing to the minimum amount of air required for safe use.
With reference to FIGS. 1-4, the outer housing of the facial sauna provided by this invention is comprised of a lower housing 1, and an upper housing 2 made of molded heat and impact resistant plastic such as ABS, an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic. The upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 are attached by, e.g., a lap seam 8. The seam 8 is sealed by conventional means, e.g., ultrasonic means, and is covered by a decorative ring 10. The base 11 of the lower housing 1 is detachable and is held in place by screws 38 which also hold feet 37 to the base 11. The feet 37 provide a cushion for the sauna to rest on. There are usually three feet 37. The base 11 is made of an impact and heat resistant moldable plastic such as phenolic resin and the feet are made of a resilient plastic.
The base 11 has two openings, one for a water fill tube 15 and one for a power cord 16. The water fill tube 15 is sealed, after the sauna is filled, by a screw plug 17. The tube 15 and plug 17 are made of moldable heat resistant plastic with a coefficient of expansion such that the plug will not loosen when cold and not bind when hot. The fill tube 15 passes through a hole in the base plate 39 of the lower water tank 9 and is sealed against water leakage through the tank base plate 39 by a plastic grommet 14 such as one made from, for example, ethylene-propylene.
The base 11 which is sealed against water by a base inner wall 12 at the sides and a metal bottom plate 39 on the lower tank 9 has a resistance heater 43 therein in which the heating element is enclosed. The heater 43 has a heat transfer dome 40 on the top thereof. The dome 40 projects through a hole in the metal bottom plate 39 into the steam generating chamber 45 which is enclosed by the interior baffles 18 of the lower water tank 9. The heat transfer dome 40 is sealed against leakage through the hole in the tank bottom plate 39 by a gasket 48. The heater 43 is fastened to the plate 39 by a nut 42. The heater housing 43 shown in FIG. 2 is made of diecast aluminum. Other suitable heaters such as a ceramic resistance or positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater enclosed in an aluminum case can also be used.
A thermostat 44 calibrated to about 100�-110� C. is attached to the heater 43 and the underside of the tank base plate 39.
The base 11 also has a hole 16 for a power cord 46 which powers the heater 43 and the fan motor 31 in the upper housing 2. The wiring for the fan motor 31 is in a wiring tube 35 which extends from inside the base 11 along the inside of the walls of the lower outer housing 1 and upper outer housing 2 through the motor housing 33 to the motor 31. The wiring tube 35 is supported on the inside by the lower inner housing (water tank housing) 5 and upper inner housing 3.
The lower tank 9 and the upper tank 7 are defined by the tank housing 5; the upper tank 17 being separated from the lower housing 1 by a partially angulated annular casing 5A. The lower tank is annular shaped and is defined by the tank housing 5 as the outer wall, inner baffle 18 which surrounds the inner chamber 45, and bottom plate 39 which is water-tightly sealed to the outer wall of the tank housing 5 by conventional sealing means, for example, a crimp 41 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The top baffle 6 of the lower tank 9 separates the lower tank 9 from the upper tank 7. However, in order for water to pass between the upper tank 7 and the lower tank 9, there are holes 19 in the top baffle 6 of the lower tank 9 which is also the floor of the upper tank 7.
The upper tank 7 is annular and its outside wall is the tank housing 5, its inside baffle 20 forms a steam exit passageway 13 for the steam generated from the inner chamber 45 to travel to the air-steam mixing chamber 22, as shown by the wavy arrows. The top 24 of the upper tank 7 seals it from the air-steam mixing chamber 22. When the water tanks 7 and 9 are in the process of being filled through the fill tube 15, they reach a point at which they are full. When more water is added through the fill tube 15, it overflows into the steam exit pathway 13 and thence out the steam outlet 25. This prevents excess water from entering into and staying in the system. When the sauna is turned upright then overturned, the water in the tanks 7 and 9 is trapped by the baffles 18, 19, 20 and 24 and the wall 5. Other water traps such as valves can be used but are not preferred.
The water tanks 7 and 9 hold a sufficient volume of water to enable the sauna to operate for about 10 to 12 minutes before refilling is necessary. The tank capacity is about 65 to 75 cubic centimeters. Of course, these dimensions can be changed to suit any particular design or use of a steam generating device which may not necessarily be a facial sauna.
In the upper part of the upper outer housing 2 is contained a motor housing 33 having therein a DC fan motor 31 connected to the writing leading to the power cord 46 and having diodes 32 as a bridge rectifier. In addition, the motor 31 rests on a foam gasket 34 which is on the bottom of the motor housing 33. The foam gasket 34 helps reduce vibration. On a shaft 30 extending through the bottom of the motor housing 33 from the motor 31 is an axial fan 29. Although an axial fan is illustrated, other fans such as centrifugal or transverse types can be used. The fan 29 draws air from air inlet holes 21 in the upper housing 2 placed circumferentially near the bottom of air-steam mixing chamber 22 and an annular air inlet 27 as hereinafter discussed. The air inlet holes 21 are aligned with similar sized holes 21A in wall 3. The air inlet holes 21 are covered by a rotating sliding ring 23 which has holes 23A in it about the same size and number as the air inlet holes 21. The ring 23 is slidably supported on the upper outer housing 2. When the ring 23 is rotated the inlet holes 21 are either covered, partially covered or uncovered, thus controlling the amount of air flow. Generally, the amount of air led in should be sufficient to cool the steam enough so it will not scald the operator. The wall of the motor housing 33 forms an inside wall of an annular steam outlet 25. The steam-air mixture from the mixing chamber 22 is blown through the steam outlet 25 by the fan 29. The bottom of the outlet 25 passes the base of the motor housing 33 through large apertures between radial bars 50 which fix the housing 33 to the outer wall 3 of the steam outlet 25. The outer wall 3 of the steam outlet 25 is attached by radial bars 26 at the top to the upper outer housing 2 and at the bottom to the top of the upper tank 7. There are holes 21A in the inner wall 3 which match the air inlet holes 21 in the upper housing 2, enabling air to enter the mixing chamber 22. An annular air inlet 27 is defined by the upper outer housing 2 and an upper inner wall 3. The air enters, as shown by the straight arrows, through the spaces 27A between the bars 26, flows down the air inlet passage 27 and enters the mixing chamber 22 through the circumferential row of holes 21A in the inner wall 3 where it mixes with the steam generated in the inner chamber 45, as shown by the presence of straight and wavy arrows.
The amount of air entering the air inlet 27 is controlled by the attachments shown in FIGS. 5-8 which attach to the outlet end of the facial sauna by e.g., a bayonet attachment. The attachments, i.e., facial mask 47, concentrator tube 49, brush attachment 51 and sponge attachment 53 are hollow to allow the steam-air mixture to escape. Except for the facial mask, they have segmented lower flanges 54 on their attaching ends 52. The attaching end 52 is inserted into the annular steam outlet 25 so as to occupy its outer circumference while permitting the steam-air mixture to escape through the inner circumference of the steam outlet 25 and subsequently through the attachment. The segmented flanges 54 rest on top of the facial sauna while allowing air flow to pass first through the segmented portion and then through air inlet 27 to the extent needed to ensure a safe steam-air mixture temperature at a predetermined level. The size of the segments varies depending on the particular predetermined temperature level desired. These attachments allow the user different proximity to the air-steam mixture because of their different uses and shapes. Thus, the sponge attachment 53 and brush attachment 51 allow the user to place bristles 51A and sponges 53A, respectively, directly on the skin. In order to prevent the user from being scalded, the amount of air entering the mixing chamber has to be controlled. This is done by making the openings in the segmented flanges 54 of a size which will permit sufficient air to enter the top air inlet 27 and by controlling the side air inlets 21 with the rotating ring 23.
In order to prevent the air-stream mixture from becoming too hot if the user blocks the top of the attachment, slots 50 are provided in the walls thereof which permit the air-steam mixture to escape. The facial mask 47 need not have slots because it cannot readily be blocked, however, if desired slots can be provided.
The attaching flanges 52 of the facial mask 47 preferably have no segments and the openings between the segments 54 of the concentrator 49 need not be as wide as those for the brush 51 and sponge 53 because the temperature need not be as cool since the user can move the face away from the steam-air outlet into a cooler region and still obtain the desired effect. However, since it is still possible to block the concentrator 49, slots 50 are provided in the walls thereof.
An alternative construction could eliminate the top air inlets 27, however, in this case, stops on the rotatable ring 23 would be needed to insure that at all times air is being brought in to mix with the steam. Another alternative construction could provide detachable heads on the attaching ends 52.
The upper outer housing 2 is angled from the vertical for ease of use and manufacture. The upper housing 2 need not be angled, however, the sauna operates satisfactorily when the upper housing 2 is angled from about 0� to 90� from the vertical. The preferred angle is generally about 23�.
In use the sauna operates as follows, the operator takes the empty, cold sauna and turns it upside down, then removes the plug 17 from the water fill tube 15 and pours water or other aqueous fluid into the fill tube 15 until water drips out the steam outlet 25. This indicates the appliance is full. The plug 17 is reinserted, the sauna is turned upright, the desired attachment is attached to the outlet end, the sliding ring 23 is adjusted and the power cord 46 is plugged in. After a wait of about three minutes for heat up of the water, steam emerges from the steam outlet 25 and the appliance is ready to use.

Hi y'all!
I'm new to the herbs forum here at Dave's Garden, but I figured if anyone can help me, it would be you!
I'm really interested in cultivating Spikenard (latin: Nardostachys Jatamansi). I have the essential oil (it's the oil mentioned in the Songs of Solomon, and is the oil which was broken over the feet of Jesus - very mysterious and exotic, dank and wonderful!) but I would like to cultivate the plant. Does anyone have any idea whether or not I would be able to do this indoors? I live in New Brunswick (Eastern Canada), so growing it outside is out of the question. But I'm *hoping* that I can mirror the climate of the Middle East in some remote corner of the apartment, and grow my own Spikenard plants.
Do any of you know anything at all about Spikenard - how it grows, where I could get a plant (or even seeds, for that matter), whether or not it can be grown indoors? I've tried searching the net, but nada. I've only found stuff on the oil.
Thanks guys!
Spikenard - fun for the whole family...
Hi y'all!
Ritchers has a spikenard-aralia racemosa. www.richters.com
Horizon herbs has spikenard roots and seeds and they are aralia californica from the araliaceae family. http://www.chatlink.com?~herbseed
Well-Sweep herb farm has Spikenard-aralia racemosa plants
Hope this helps. Didn't find anything that had Nardostachys
Jatamansi in it. If you ever come a cross some seeds I love to trade with you.
Penny "onecent"
Hey Penny! Thanks for the info! Have you ever heard of anyone growing Spikenard indoors? If I am able to get the seeds, I'll certainly let you know.
I am trying to do what you say YOU were trying to do a couple of years ago...
I DID acquire N. jatamansi from B & T World Seeds, a British company based in France.
They have the MOST spectacular list of species you could hope for (40K entries in their catalog!!)
I planted the seeds indoors about three weeks ago. They
germinated well, but ALL of them have died...I don't know
if they damped-off or if I have some bug on my windowsill!
There is a clean cut in the stem, close to the soil; but NO sign of rot...
I'm going to try again, and will let you know the result.

Review for Canavan Research Foundation, Inc., New Fairfield, CT, USA
When my daughter was diagnosed with Canavans Disease in 2004 we felt completely isolated and alone. It was wonderful to know that there are other families out the dealing with the same struggles that we are experiencing. I have asked all my friends to donate to canavan research foundation in honor of my birthday to help find a cure for this devastating disease so one day the family whos childs test comes back positive for Canavans disease does not get the same advice that we got...take her home love her prepare to say good bye because this is a death sentence... My hope is that one day they will instead hear " we can cure this "

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Jamal Anderson took a giant emotional and physical step toward recovery from major knee surgery Friday when he joined the Atlanta Falcons in the team's first workout in training camp.
Nearly 10 months after tearing his right anterior cruciate ligament in the team's second regular season game, the running back who led the National Football Conference in rushing in 1998 made his return to the practice field amid a whirlwind of anticipation and scrutiny.
The Falcons coaching staff and players seemed to hold their breath when Anderson took his first big hit of the football season: A sweep where Anderson ran over cornerback Ashley Ambrose and through defensive tackle Shane Dronett, then was sent head over heals by linebacker Keith Brooking. Concern quickly turned to relief when Anderson bounced off the practice turf at Furman University and returned to the huddle, signaling he likely cleared another hurdle in his difficult rehabilitation.
''I got out there on the corner and I wanted to give (Ashley) a little dinger,'' Anderson said. ''I threw an elbow at Shane, then Keith caught me on the side, which is cool. It's one of those hits you don't see until the last second and you don't prepare it. It's those kinds of hits in a game that will prepare your knee. You never know what it's going to do, whether it's going to buckle or hold up and it held up today.''
Before practice, Anderson said he couldn't wait to see if his knee could withstand the rigors of full contact again. After the two-hour session in 91-degree heat ended, he seemed relieved to be one workout closer to recovery.
''I'm looking forward to putting on some pads and getting some contact,'' he said before practice. ''I can't concern myself if my knee's going to hold up or not. I have to play my game. If it does, it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't and I'll worry about that when it happens.''
After practice, he said, ''I was going to make cuts and do what I normally do. If it holds up, fine. If not, I'd be back on the field wincing around again.''
For the Falcons, who played in the Super Bowl after the 1998 season with a healthy Anderson churning for 1,846 yards, Anderson's return was deemed paramount following a 5-11 campaign a year ago.
''It means a lot to have Jam here,'' said offensive tackle Bob Whitfield. ''These are the guys you're going to war with throughout the season and into the playoffs, and hopefully the Super Bowl. You want all your guys here and Jam is that added 'umph' for us.
''Jam has that charisma, that ability to make you get better because he will get on you. When Jam's here, we get better.''
Anderson worked out with the team during a mini-camp a month ago and he developed tendonitis that resulted in swelling and soreness. The rest of the team had last week off, but Anderson remained at the team's headquarters in Suwanee, Ga., to continue his rehabilitation.
''I'm not in the same shape I was a month ago because I haven't been able to run,'' Anderson said. ''But I'm the type of guy who always prepares myself for training camp. I'm going to run a little extra before and after practice and I'm going to run out my runs like I always used to. That way I'll be ready when it's time to go.
''It was nice to run last week without a lot of pain. That was good. Everybody was off on vacation or whatever last week and I was back at Suwanee working out. I've been doing it every day so I can get up to speed for practice. Really the goal is to be ready by September. I don't think I'll have a problem being ready for that.''
Coach Dan Reeves offered a big smile after the practice session.
''I thought the first day was good; I thought Jamal looked good,'' he said. ''That made a lot of us feel better because I saw him take some licks; I saw him make some cuts. The fact he was able to do it without any pain is a huge improvement over where he was two or three weeks ago.
''We've just got to hope that continues. The thing with knees is how much you can do going through two-a-days. We'll start him out in one practice a day, and we'll pick out one practice tomorrow and see how it goes.''
During the session, Anderson first took seven handoffs in a drill against no defensive players. Then he practiced blocking against a padded sled. He skipped a one-on-one drill to recover fumbles, then he made two carries in a two-on-one ''Oklahoma'' drill. Fullback Bob Christian and tight end Rod Monroe each made crushing blocks against the defender to allow Anderson to blast through the hole with little more than glancing contact.
Then came the 11-on-11 scrimmage in the final 30 minutes of practice that featured Anderson's spill that sent a momentary calm over the practice field.
''I've been playing football since I was seven,'' Anderson said. ''This is what I do. I'm fine. So far, so good.''
The Falcons will conduct a pair of two-hour practice sessions today, the first starting at 9 a.m., the second starting at 3 p.m.

So in the course of our conversation, we discover(after I told her to read the letter from AT&T), that her service is not active yet..lol. So then she starts asking me where she can buy Microsoft. I said, Microsoft what. She said Windows. I said well it sounds like you have some version of Windows, do you have XP or Vista, she says, well, I bought the laptop with no software so that it was cheaper... After really asking some basic questions, by "Microsoft" she was referring to MS Office.. I'm gonna go pour me some whiskey. IGF

As election day nears, it has become evident that a vote for Jim Matheson is a wasted vote. Congressman Matheson has been in office for six terms. During many of those re-election runs, he has identified himself as a Blue Dog Democrat, implying that he is more in line with Utah values than the National Democratic Party.21 comments on this story
But during those years, the Democratic Party has contiunued to move to the left to the point that many of their leaders now more readily identify with the socialist governments of Europe than with the mainstream of the United States. Meanwhile, the Blue Dog faction of the Democratic Party has continued to shrink in Congress. As a result, it becomes increasingly likely Matheson will have any influence on his party in Washington.
Even worse, it becomes more likely that to gain some hearing with his party he will have to sacrifice Utah values as a compromise.

Whats with all the Fender Cabronita Bass bodies on Ebay,do the necks suck or what..
Maybe the necks are awesomeness and have been harvested...
That's what I would think if all you see is a bunch of bodies for sale.
I don't think Fender sells any parts for Cabronitas, yet. Parting them out fills demand. And the necks are really nice, IMO. It wouldn't surprise me to start seeing those swapped onto other Fender bodies.
I don't think Warmoth sells their Cabronita bodies anymore, either. If that's the case, there's a void that needs filling.
Oh OK I didn't think about the necks being in demand, that makes sense...I myself like the headstock shape so I contoured the headstock on my VM Squier...
Nice job!
Thank you...
I hate the 7ender cabronita neck... deadspots on the one i played... and waaay too thick
I heard the necks on the Squier cabronita are slimmer and easier to play
Maybe they're "warranty return" basses who's necks couldn't be shimmed or adjusted enough to make the cut as "refurbished" so they are being parted-out.
La Cabronita bodies are alder. Cabronita bodies are basswood. Could it be that some are finding their bodies to be too heavy and are swapping for lighter ones? I've got a Cab that weighs in at 9lbs 6oz. That's heavier than I like, but the bass is just too cool to let that stand in the way. At least for now.

I walked around a corner,
To keep a pace,
Of what was going around,
The other face.
I walked on a sidewalk,
With seems so loose,
That I almost tripped,
When my tennis shoes lost gripped.
My greatest walk in this world today.
Was the walk I took around the Earth.
That adventure countless jewels did pay.
I remember this to this day.
