This Jetboil is the perfect stove for a backpacking trip for two--or even more! While it is a little hard at times to simmer effectively with it (they don't call it the Jet Boil for nothing), I've mastered the art of the Jet Boil slow cook, and have even learned to stop burning my damn oatmeal to the bottom of this thing (Trust me, once you've scrubbed it out a few times, you'll learn.)
Overall, this is a great product--my only grips are that it's a little tricky to clean, and simmering took a while to master. A very solid piece of equipment.

This is a great camping stove. It is the classic for backpacking for good reason. It's dependable and well-made. It was great for my trip to Sierra Trail.
Excellent product for what it is
Michael Ryan
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Overall, this is great for boiling water quickly, I have yet to actually cook something in it since I always bring freeze dried food with me and cook that in the bag. If your looking to cook for 5-6 people, this isn't your cook set, its basically for 1-2 people. Of course if everyone brought freeze dried food, you could boild water for everyone in about 10-15 mins. It can handle 2 cups of water at a time and boils in it 90 seconds or so, can't beat that.
Portability 5/5 - Everything fits inside when your done
Weight 4/5 - It could be lighter, but its not heavy for what it does
Functionality 3.5/5 - It boils water quickly, I couldn't imagine cooking with it, seems like it would be to much of a hassle to clean up.
Overall 4/5 - Would definitely recommend

I love my jetboil for getting coffee made fast. It is a great addition to any car-camping set up. Not just for backpacking, this leaves your other stoves free for the pancakes. It is so fast too that waiting for coffee just doesn't happen.

So much has been said about this stove already, I'll keep this short and just give it 5 stars.
Does the trick

Boils water surprisingly quickly, and sips fuel compared to other stoves. Packs up very compactly as well. I've used it entirely at altitudes over 10,000ft. and in sub-freezing temperatures. Only complaint is that it doesn't really simmer, but what camp stove does?
Meals on the fly
Matt Heffernan
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I knew that I would be camping a lot when I landed a job on Mt Hood for the summer. Not knowing when I'd have access to a kitchen stove easy cooking on the fly was a must. The Jet Boil took care of just that! It boiled water quickly and efficiently, it was great for quick pasta meals, and if you have a pan you can cook up a nice breakfast of eggs/sausage/potatoes/etc. Not only was it great for cooking but for warmth up on the glacier when the weather turned for the worse.
A must have
William Adjemian

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For backpacking, this is such a save-the-day device. Doesn't take up much space, lightweight, and extremely efficient. Ideal for making coffee in the mornings, tea in the afternoon, and hot toddys at night. For food, I always take Mountain Home freeze dried pouches (delicious) which pair perfectly with the Jetboil system. This will boil water in 120 seconds usually, then just pour it in to your food pouch and BAM! Nice, hot food. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
Boil in Bag Pasta
David Thiel
Member since
Boil in Bag Pasta worked to cook within the jetboil... but only just barely. And it made a huge mess. I had to keep the bag moving to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Take note: rice is not a good idea. This is the voice of experience talking.
Burner assembly.

Note the piezo sparker and enjoy it while it lasts. Which isn't very long!
Pot Support: Closed Position
David Thiel
Member since
Here's the pot support in the CLOSED position. Compare to my other photo with the open position. Had me stumped for a while.
Pot Support: OPEN Position
David Thiel
Member since
Took me forever to figure out how to open the the pot support. Maybe I'm a dope, but it was non-obvious.
This is it in the OPEN position. See my other photo for the closed version.
This is how you load it.
David Thiel
Member since
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Here's a detail for reference. See the attached photo for the sequence (left to right) and orientation (note the orange stand in particular) needed to fit all these items back in the pot easily.
Note: you really want the pot and fuel container to be dry when you load it back in, or else the bottom of the fuel container will leave rust inside the pot.
I also keep a small nalgene bottle of oil and some matches in the cup that attaches to the base of the pot.
Jetboil Flash review w/ Colby Mundeen

Member since
Here's a review we did of the Jetboil Flash. We even got famed survivalist Colby Mundeen to test it for us!
Very Efficient
Member since
Two of my friend and I went on a week long backpacking trip and only used this to cook our food. We were able to use it for breakfast and dinner for six days using just 100 grams of fuel. It's very compact and so efficient that you can't even feel heat coming out from the sides when you put your hands right next to it!
Highly recommended
Member since
So easy to use!
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is such a great product & so easy to use. We made a gourmet meal last weekend using the fluxring fry pan (http://www.backcountry.com/jetboil-fluxring-fry-pan) - I highly suggest this product as well.
We have the java version (out of stock), but it's the same as this one w/ the inclusion of the french press attachment. We had previously used the MSR Whisperlite stove, but I have a feeling that will be collecting dust now that we own a jetboil!
Holds anything you use at home!

"I considered this a homeland security issue and I can envision this being a real problem for law enforcement someday," Merritt said.
Few federal restrictions
Exploding targets consist of ammonium nitrate (an oxidizer) and aluminum powder (a fuel). But because neither component individually is explosive, they not regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Once the components are mixed, the results is an explosive material and subject to ATF regulations.
However, under federal law, individuals can manufacture explosives for their own personal, non-business use. There is no federal limit on the amount of explosives an individual can make.
Federal law, in short, does not prohibit exploding targets.
But, federal officials say, federal law does regulate the manufacture of explosive devices, and federal laws could be used to prosecute individuals who use the targets in the construction of explosive devices. The intent of the individual is a factor in determining legality, officials said.
Some state and local governments have taken action against sports shooters, especially in cases in which they've mixed large volumes of the target ingredients.
In the case of Brian Childs, the Minnesota man who shot at the 100 pounds of Tannerite in the dump truck, prosecutors viewed the truck not as a target, but as a bomb.
"It looks like they legally bought (the components). It was shipped to them by the Tannerite people," said Chris Schrader, assistant county attorney for Goodhue County.
But when the components were mixed and placed in the dump truck, "we looked at our definition of an explosive device and it definitely qualified," Schrader said.
"It was how they used it, which was enormously dangerous and ill-conceived," Childs said. "It was enormously reckless how they were using it. They had no idea what they were doing and you can tell by their reaction (in a videotape of the incident)."
According to a police report, a large piece of metal flew over Childs head, even though he was 300 yards from the blast.
Fire problem
Tannerite Sports, the Oregon-based manufacturer of the most popular brand of explosive targets, said it is being harmed by the widespread misuse of the product. And by people wrongly claiming that other products are "Tannerite."
"You can Google all day long and the first thing that will be popping up, people will be misusing our product and other products, other brands of binary exploding targets. It's a misuse," said Dena Woerner, a publicist for Tannerite Sports.
"Our produce was created to be used as a shot indicator. With Tannerite, you can see if you actually hit your target without having to walk down the range. And when you misuse a product, you could potentially be breaking the law."
The rampant misuse of exploding targets is a "threat to our business," Woerner concedes, so much so that the company is now soliciting videos of people using the product as intended.
"If people get hurt they're going to be more regulations and restrictions. We want people to be able to have fun with the product ... if they keep misusing it, people may not have that liberty anymore."
But federal officials take issue with Tannerite's claims that their product cannot result in fires.
At a press conference announcing the ban on exploding targets in certain national forests, it released a video showing a bale of hay catching fire after an exploding target was shot. The target was Tannerite, said Forest Service spokesman Lawrence Lujan.
Lujan said other brands also cause fires, and the Forest Service is likely to extend its ban to other regions.
A big bang
At a farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore, bomb squad member Matt Wrenn takes aims a Winchester rifle at targets at a range bounded by soybean fields, woods and an earthen berm.
He flawlessly shoots at a series of targets set up to demonstrate the fire marshal's concerns about exploding targets.

11 October 2010
Shoe-horned my way into the sold out Deadman Peaks Trail 50 Miler on Oct 23 down in New Mexico. I had been looking at this event for a while but it sold out fast. Should be fun. I feel pretty solid physically and am looking forward to running there. It's an out and back course on the Continental Divide Trail. There's only about 6,500 ft climb but I'm thinking they're the jagged, grunt, short, constant climbs and the trail is difficult terrain. I've learned from North Fork not to underestimate a course just before running it. So, it'll be a tight two weeks of racing with that and the Antelope Island 100k. Oh, and a lot of driving too!

German Shepherd Dog > 8 1/2 Month Old GSD Puppy with skin problems (30 replies)
8 1/2 Month Old GSD Puppy with skin problems by LLJohnson10 on 13 July 2012 - 19:13 |
I have an 8 1/2 month old Puppy that is having some skin problems on his underside. He is very dry and itchy, he develops these small red bumps, that will dry then scab. He is on a grain free diet, and has been since he was 8 weeks old, I feed Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Formula. I also add a frozen cube of pumpkin, and a spoonful of cooked canned ground turkey made by Wellness. His topside has no skin problems at all, very shiny and no dryness. I've taken him to the vet and they gave me a topical cream called (Silver Sulfadiazine Cream). It will clear up a small breakout, but the underlying issue doesn't seem to be getting addressed. What is causing this dry itchy skin, and how can I stop it. The cream seems to be a temporary fix. Here is a link to his pics in the pedigree database gallery, since for some reason it won't allow me to upload them to this message board. It's saying something like I don't have permission. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/picturegallery/40481.html |
by fawndallas on 13 July 2012 - 19:33 |
Does he play in the water a lot? My lab had something that looked similar. My vet said that this is due to frequently wet skin that eventually developes a fungus. She said it was common among dogs that are frequently in the water. She too gave me a cream to apply (I am not sure what it was called though). |
by HighDesertGSD on 13 July 2012 - 19:44 |
Worth trying is Omega 3 fish oil and Omega 6 GLA in borage oil in the diet. One gram each per day. |
by LLJohnson10 on 13 July 2012 - 20:05 |
Thanks, No, he does not play in the water, but does walk and lay in wet grass, which tends to get his underside wet. He hates to go for a swim and taking baths. I forgot to add, I also give him a squirt of Grizzly Salmon Oil when feeding. |
by minro on 13 July 2012 - 20:09 |
Is it bad on his belly and armpits? Or his ears? It could be an environmental allergy if so. |
by fawndallas on 13 July 2012 - 20:38 |
Interesting, Silver Sulfadiazine Cream Did your vet explain why they thought this was the correct cream? Does the cream help or does it help the spot, but the issue come back in another area? If it just helps the spot, but it comes back in other areas, I would have the vet (or a new one) check again. I am not sure if laying in wet grass is enough of continual "wetness" I was referring to. I would expect the grass to get dry before to long. My lab on the other hand is in water at least 10 - 20 % of his day; especially during the summer. He all but sleeps in his pool. | is generally for burns as an antibacterial.
by EuroShepherd on 13 July 2012 - 21:06 |
Considering that he's on a pretty good diet and that it's such a localized reaction it does seem to be caused by something that his skin comes in direct contact with. Carpet, floor cleaning chemicals, his bed (or anything that he lays on) any kind of chemical on the grass, chiggers in the grass? (so many other possibilities too) Other than trying to figure out what his skin is reacting too via eliminations, you may just want to put a shirt/vest on him that covers his entire belly area. Also, you may want to shampoo him regularly to remove lingering allergens on his skin, for this case I would highly suggest Eqyss Micro-Tek shampoo. Since he is an adolescent pup, hopefully he will grow out of this issue. Normally I would suggest switching to a pure raw diet with organic foods and certified humane raised eggs/dairy/meat to be the best way to strengthen the immune system and overcome allergy problems. This could very well help your boy, but in this case I think you will see faster results with the other suggestions. |
by Eldee on 13 July 2012 - 21:06 |
In my opinion, most skin allergies are food related. Could be the chicken or the fish. i would try a different protein source in another grain free food. Venison or lamb for instance. Go to a health food store and pick up a tub of coconut oil and let that be your oil. They lick it right off the spoon. They love it. |
by LLJohnson10 on 13 July 2012 - 21:07 |
The vet told me the cream was an antibiotic, and also an anti-fungal medicine. Before the vet gave it to me, I told the vet that my breeder had given me some Quadritop Ointment to clear up the problem. That worked also, but it again, would only temporarily take care of the problem. The vet said the Quadritop was only anti-bacterial, and that the Siver Sulfadiazine was both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, and that it may work better. She also said that since the area didn't appear irritated, inflamed, or pus filled, this should do the trick. But his whole underside is pretty dry, and he gets these breakouts. My first thought that this may be some sort of food allergy, but, I am uncertain, since I've read, and been told that most allergies come from grains, and he's always been on a grain free diet. The entire underside is affected, and his armpits are probably the worst of the affected area. |
by LLJohnson10 on 13 July 2012 - 21:13 |
I would love to do a raw diet, but I'm worried that it would be too time consuming and expensive, even though Blue Wilderness is also expensive. Another thing that has also always turned me off about raw diets was that when I watch the dogs consume their raw meaty bones, they generally attempt to hold it with their paws, and it appears as if they are just getting bacteria all over the place. I wouldn't want my puppy to take a raw chicken bone out of his bowl and drag it around the house, or for it to be on his fur then rub up agains the couch. It just doesn't seem all that sanitary. Other than that, it seems like a great idea. |
by minro on 13 July 2012 - 21:18 |
Most skin allergies are food related. However, I owned a female Shepherd who had environmental allergies. I think to pollen, we never found out for sure. It was pretty awful. She was on steroids her entire life, along with fish oil supplements, etc etc. If you want to rule out a food allergy, you need to do a food trial, for I would say 3 months. I would recommend salmon. Read the ingredients carefully and make sure it is a pure food with only salmon as the main protein. NO treats, snacks, ONLY the salmon food. You really can ruin your trial with just a treat here and there. You need to monitor what your dog eats very closely. It's a pain, but IMO the best way to get your answer. If yuor dog is still breaking out afterwards, I would say it's environmental, and you should go to someone who specializes in skin... basically a dog dermatologist. They should be able to do a scratch test. |
by fawndallas on 13 July 2012 - 21:26 |
I would also expect that if it was a food allergy, the whole body (thinking blood stream) would be impacted. Location says it is something that he lays on. EuroShepherd has an excellent suggestion. I would start with the obvious: a chemical on the grass (maybe a bug treatment or a fertilizer). Prevent him from lying directly on the grass and treat the spots as both vet and EuroShepherd suggest. If they still return after a month, move to the next area. Go to where he sleeps at night. Repeat above. Hopefully, through process of elimination, you can identify what is causing the reaction. If it is the grass, this is usually bug (again, I would think the issue would be all over though) or chemical. Soak the lawn with a solution of soap (Dawn works well) and water. Do this a couple of times and do not add any more chemicals. If you have a bug issue you are treating, use DE; ground up shells instead. If it is a fertlizer you are using, do some extensive research to find a non-chemical solution. If it is the dog's bedding, wash all bedding in hot water with Dreft/ laundry soap for babies. These are generally chemical free. It also could be what your floor/ carpet is cleaned with. Floor is simple; clean with dish soap. Carpet, not sure, as I have not had carpet in my home for years. A good carpet cleaning company should be able to help though. If these do not pan out, I am stumped. Hopefully it will be this easy. |

Sometimes chicken protein is the culprit. We feed Blue buffalo, too, but use the lamb and rice, my dog really likes it. Also, if you feed salmon, make sure it is wild caught salmon and not farm raised. Just to add to what everyone else is saying this is good to read, and it would suggest you stop the pumpkin: http://www.greatdanelady.com/articles/systemic_yeast_mini_course.htm This is a natural fungal remedy, but it is purple and messy: http://www.amazon.com/GENTIAN-VIOLET-SOL-HUM-Size/dp/B000GCQ05G |

I love the article Beetree. I have learned a lot and book marked the page to review often. Thank you |

Making a homemade raw diet for dogs is often less time consuming then fixing homemade meals for people (that is, if it isn't "homemade" out of a box, lol) In fact, I only "make" my dog's food once or twice a week and I freeze portions for use on later days. But, feeding raw inside the house is an issue, the thought of food being smeared on the carpet or furniture is gross, lol. I have a large basement with a cement floor, my dogs crates are in the basement and my dogs are fed in the basement where it is easy for me to sanitize. Before I moved into this house I lived where I could have outside kennels, back then I fed my dogs outside in their kennels. Dogs are VERY good at cleaning up their raw food, mine lick their paws clean (dog saliva has much better bacteria killing properties than human's, dog saliva is actually "cleaner" than human saliva.) Actually, dog kibble is just as likely, if not more likely, to have bad bacteria on the surface as meat (given that the meat has been handled properly.) Same goes for fresh vegetables, how many times have we heard about recalls on veggies because they were contaminated by bad bacteria? Personally, methinks, the best way to determine if it's food or environmental is to do that t-shirt/vest thingy to prevent the affected areas of his skin making any direct contact with any surfaces, while keeping him on the same diet he's on now. If the problem seems to go away then you know it's environment, if it doesn't go away then you know it's most likely his diet. The skin of the belly and armpits are some of the most sensitive areas of skin on a dog, the fur is also much sparser in these body areas, which makes me think that it is something that is coming in direct contact with his skin that is causing his problem. |

Most canine allergies are not food mediated; at least 75 - 80% are the result of something the dog inhales or contacts. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/best-dog-foods/hypoallergenic-dog-foods/ Looks like a bacterial infection to me in which case gently cleaning the area a few times a day with Hebiclens, drying it well and sprinkling the area with Gold Bond Medicated Power or applying some Desitin Ointment should get it cleared up quickly. Can also spray with witchhazel and then use the Gold Bond. Worst case he may need oral antibiotics; Keflex is generally the drug of choice for canine skin infections. This is common in puppies, he will probably outgrow it with or without treatment. http://users.telenet.be/bloemen-online/impetigo-school-sores/dogs-impetigo-treatment-school-sores.html |

Too soon to conclude it is food related, IMO. |

Here's another link about dogfood recalls, make sure his food is not on the list, though I would switch him to the raw diet, costs about the same and the food is fresh.... http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/brand_list.cfm?Trade_Name=BLUE%20BUFFALO&pet=Dog http://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls/ucm228986.htm |
by dogshome9 on 14 July 2012 - 00:09 |
Sorry to disagree with most of you BUT when only the skin on the areas underneath the dog where there is little or no hair the most likely problem is environmental, some thing the dogs lays on usually. I had a litter of 8 x 6 week old puppies and 5 were affected in this way, discovered that the straw I layed down on the grass after we had heavy rain was the cause. I raked up the straw and kept the puppies on concrete for a week and it cleared up completely. First I would check your environment before changing the diet ~~~~~~ far easier and cheaper also. Do you have new plants, seasonal weeds, have you fertilized or treated your grass or garden with anything? As your puppy has only just developed this rash, if the cause was diet related and you have not change that, then why would he have diet issues now? |
by dmo171 on 14 July 2012 - 00:21 |
We had same problem a couple months back. Got off the chicken and went to salmon meal. Solved problem. We also did and do the salmon oil. Works great, change diet. |

Things I liked:very realistic, great smooth shooter, gas-efficient. compact. I like the safety/decocker. great size, easy to carry (in your backyard no further ) Things I would have changed:it needs white dots on the sights. the trigger pull is sloppy because the trigger feeds the bb into the chamber. so even though it is single action it feels like a long da pull What others should know:if you're reading reviews to decide whether or not to buy, BUY IT you will not regret it. DON'T DISASSEMBLE I lost one ring clip and now the gun doesn't blowback. oops so i got another :) Things I liked:Realistic look and feel
Fairly accurate
smooth trigger Things I would have changed:none What others should know:I only recently got into air guns and this was my first blowback. I have purchased a couple more since then but this is still one of my favorite guns to shoot. After about 500 rounds the only issue I have has was it started firing double BB's last time I had it out every few shots. I cleaned it really well so I hope that fixes the problem. If not I would purchase another one without hesitation. Things I liked:Everything...except (See Below) Things I would have changed:If the copy you get is like mine, be prepared to also purchase a scope or Red Dot, which shots at a "5 o'clock" spot, 7" off the aimed-for spot. The ONLY Umarex one (I have 5) that is off like this. And, as you know, these sights are NOT adjustable. What others should know:My ears tell me that it is louder than a "medium".

I have an app idea that I'm working on to help school kids with bullying. I discussed this with a local vice principal and he liked the idea. I'm a developer and am learning to develop mobile apps, enough to at least get a prototype going. He's going to introduce me to people who work for the larger school district who most likely controls the way things proceed. I should be able to get a basic prototype going myself.
So the question is how to go about pitching and developing the project - do I charge them from day one or do a free pilot project? I don't know what type of budgets the schools would have for this. Do it for free for them and then sell the idea to other school districts? I have so many other questions but let's leave it at this for now :)

Lanz Printed Flannel Ski PJs
Best pajama's ever!
These PJ's are so nice, I'm happy I ordered them. Nice, heavy flannel, well made. Best part is the cuffs on the wrists and ankles. Flannel always shrinks when first washed but these were still plenty long enough in the legs and arms, I'm 5'6" so that's important. I wanted to order another pair in the catalog, but hesitated because the leg length was shorter then these. Glad I got this pair, just wonderful, highly recommend! Only thing I wish is that they had a draw string waist, the elastic is kind of loose on me, I've rather thin and usually the drawstring works better.

Higher expectations than product
I ordered these thinking they would match the hype...they do not. They are fine...just not as great as I had hoped.

Lanz nightwear: top quality as always!
My teenaged granddaughter loves her ski styled jammies! After many years of owning Lanz nightgowns myself, I knew she'd find them well constructed and comfortable---and long lasting!

Great Ski Jammies!
My wife asked for a pair of "ski Pajamas" for Christmas, just like she had years ago. I wasn't too sure where to look until I thought of Vermont Country Store and there I found exactly what I was looking for. The shipping was right on time and the Jammies were a hit! Size was right and the quality is terrific and of course the style and color were right there. Thank you Vermont country Store!
January 7, 2013
I ordered this set for 3 reasons. First It had side seam pockets. 2nd: It had cuffs on the legs & sleeves, & 3rd: it had a left breast pocket! & buttoned to the top (I wouldn't have to sew a snap or button hole & button at the neck!) It satisfied every one of my needs. My only wish is that there was a choice of print. I would like to have chosen various colors & in more elegant & mature designs!!! Had there been this choice I would have ordered several more sets.
January 5, 2013
Comfy, Cozy Pajamas!
I'm homebound with Multiple Sclerosis. I love Lanz pajamas because they are so comfortable. These ski PJs are wonderful. I ordered a size larger than I needed so that there would be plenty of room for shrinkage. I'm glad I did because they did shrink in length, both the sleeves and legs. They are still plenty big should they even shrink a bit more. They wash and dry perfectly, staying so soft and easy care.
January 5, 2013
Love love love these pajama's, cute, comfortable, washable!

Only a few spiders are dangerous to humans. Two that are present in the contiguous United States, and more common in the Southern states, are the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider. Both prefer warm climates and dark, dry places where flies are plentiful. They often live in dry, littered, undisturbed areas, such as closets, woodpiles and under sinks.
Most presumed spider bites are actually bites from other bugs. If you suspect you have been bitten by one of these spiders, check to see if the spider lives in your area.
Black widow spider
Black widow spider |
Although serious, a black widow bite is rarely lethal. You can identify this spider by the red hourglass marking on its belly. The bite feels like a pinprick. You may not even know you've been bitten. At first you may notice slight swelling and faint red marks. Within a few hours, though, intense pain and stiffness begin. Other signs and symptoms include:
- Chills
- Fever
- Nausea and vomiting
- Severe abdominal pain
Brown recluse spider
Brown recluse spider |
You can identify this spider by the violin-shaped marking on its back. The bite produces a mild stinging, followed by local redness and intense pain within eight hours. A fluid-filled blister forms at the site and then sloughs off to leave a deep, enlarging ulcer. Reactions from a brown recluse spider bite vary from a mild fever and rash to nausea and listlessness. On rare occasions death results, more often in children.
If bitten by a spider
Try and identify the type of spider that bit you. Clean the site of the spider bite well with soap and water. Apply a cool compress over the spider bite location. If the bite is on an extremity, elevate it. Aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) and antihistamines may be used to relieve minor signs and symptoms in adults. Use caution when giving aspirin to children or teenagers. Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 2, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never take aspirin. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns.
If bitten by a brown recluse or black widow spider
- Cleanse the wound. Use soap and water to clean the wound and skin around the spider bite.
- Slow the venom's spread. If the spider bite is on an arm or a leg, tie a snug bandage above the bite and elevate the limb to help slow or halt the venom's spread. Ensure that the bandage is not so tight that it cuts off circulation in your arm or leg.
- Use a cold cloth at the spider bite location. Apply a cloth dampened with cold water or filled with ice.
- Seek immediate medical attention. Treatment for the bite of a black widow may require an anti-venom medication. Doctors may treat a brown recluse spider bite with various medications.

In most cases, your provider will file your medical claims for you and you'll receive an explanation of benefits detailing what was paid. Sometimes, you'll need to file your own claims (i.e. when traveling or getting care from a non-participating provider).
If you do, you should send your claim form to TRICARE as soon as possible after you receive care. The sooner your claim and other paperwork are received, the sooner you or your provider will be paid.
When you file a claim, you will be reimbursed for TRICARE-covered services at the TRICARE allowable amount. This amount will not include any copayments, cost shares or deductibles.
There are special rules for filing claims if you're involved in an accident with possible third-party liability.
Once your spouse shows as eligible for benefits in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), he or she can file claims for care received:

Stupid Photo of the Day: Iceland Air Duct Taped a Drunk Passenger To His Seat:
A photo has been circulating around of a passenger who was DRUNK and OUT-OF-CONTROL on an Iceland Air flight . . . so the crew DUCT TAPED him to his seat.
The plane was actually headed from Iceland to JFK Airport in New York, and when it landed, the guy was arrested.
A Stripper Assaults Two Guys and Blames It On Being a Reality Show Host, a Federal Agent, and a Performance Artist?
Last Wednesday, a 25-year-old stripper named Arlene Mena in Hallandale Beach, Florida, was out in the street drunk and smashed a driver's side mirror and spit in his face, then assaulted a guy who tried to hold her back.
And since that happened, Arlene has offered up three reasons for what she did.
#1.) Before the cops came, she claimed she was a REALITY SHOW HOST, and the whole thing was being filmed for a hidden camera show. It was not.
#2.) Then she told people she was a FEDERAL AGENT working for the mayor of Hallandale Beach.
#3.) And at her bond hearing, she told the judge she was a PERFORMANCE ARTIST, and the entire thing was a performance art piece.
Somehow, no one bought ANY of those excuses. Arlene is facing battery and criminal mischief charges.
(South Florida Sun-Sentinel / Gawker)
An 18-Year-Old Jokes About His Drunk Driving Hit-and-Run on Facebook, And is Promptly Arrested:
Around 1:00 A.M. on New Year's Day, 18-year-old Jacob Cox-Brown of Astoria, Oregon was driving DRUNK. He sideswiped two parked cars, fled the scene, and went home.
At which point, of course, he decided to post about it on Facebook. He wrote, quote, "Drivin' drunk . . . classic. [Winking face]. But to whoever's vehicle I hit I am sorry."
One of his Facebook friends saw that and forwarded it to the cops. They arrested him later that day on two counts of failing to perform the duties of a driver.
He wasn't charged with drunk driving because the Facebook post isn't enough evidence to prove he was legally drunk at the time.

Help with Searching
The ZSearch facilities are powerful and extensive. They can be userd in diverse ways, all from the top Search Page. We have also, however, ueed them ourselves to provide particular focused searches. This page is an example.
In the filtering area you see that it comes with a default choice for account type. That means it is looking for Wrtiers or Sustainers, as noted. If you change the filter, for example, of course you will be searching amoung a different constituency.
You can also put in a name, or a locale to filter your find list further. You can also select a Group and see members who are Sustainers or Writers, or even from some locale, etc.
Of course the locale filter only works for people who have taken the time to enter their locale...so if you don't find many folks, it doesn't mean that they don't exist in the system. Instead, it could be they haven't entered where they are from....
So, in summary, sarch users by account type such as writer or sutainer, by first name, last name, by interest (where again, this only works for folks who entered one), group, or by location. Fill out your chosen feilds and then click the search button. Choose from among the results disaplayed or reset your search to start over.

In many traditional societies the extended family functions as something like a mini-state in which the head of the family is both in charge of supporting and seeing to the well-being of the family as well as maintaining order among the people who depended upon the patriarch. As in all states, the maintainence of order involved the use of violence against people who violated the established rules. Thus, in some circumstances women- and men- could be hit or otherwise disciplined.
As modern societies evolved beyond being family-centered to being more individualistic and atomized, domestic violence has become obsolete. But this has process has largely entailed the family patriarch handing over his right-to-violence to the state. Now, the man who uses violence against his dependents will have violence or imprisonment inflicted upon him by the state; and most people perceive this as justifiable.
Our new system has its advantages, but there is no reason to heap scorn upon societies that are still family centered.

Paul Broun on Foreign PolicyRepublican | |
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. IKE SKELTON (D, MO-4): Pakistan is important to the Middle East and our intentions there. Their cooperation, of course, is so very, very important. This legislation gives economic and democratic development assistance to that country.
Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): We can't allow al Qaeda or any other terrorist group that threatens our national security to operate with impunity in the tribal regions or any other part of Pakistan. Nor can we permit the Pakistani state and its nuclear arsenal to be taken over by the Taliban. To help prevent this nightmare scenario, we need to forge a true strategic partnership with Pakistan and its people, strengthen Pakistan's democrat government, and work to make Pakistan a source of stability in a volatile region.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN (R, FL-18): This bill focuses on past actions and failures attributed to the Pakistani Government, punishing the new leadership for the sins of its predecessors. While the authors of H.R. 1886 may have sought to empower our Pakistani partners to undertake the formidable task of fighting and winning against violent extremists, it does the opposite. We have gone down this road before. I recall during the Iraq debate, Members sought to prejudge the surge strategy before it could even be implemented. Let us hope that this will not be repeated with respect to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): Integrating India into a global nonproliferation regime is a positive step. Before anyone gets too sanctimonious about India's nuclear weapons program, we should acknowledge that the five recognized nuclear weapons states have not done nearly enough to fulfill their commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, including making serious reductions in their own arsenals, nor in the case of the US in ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BARBARA LEE (D, CA-9): In withholding my approval, I seek not to penalize the people of India but, rather, to affirm the principle of nuclear nonproliferation. Jettisoning adherence to the international nuclear nonproliferation framework that has served the world so well for more than 30 years, as approval of the agreement before us would do, is just simply unwise. It is also reckless.
Approval of this agreement undermines our efforts to dissuade countries like Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. By approving this agreement, all we are doing is creating incentives for other countries to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
The Arab American Institute has compiled a Scorecard to catalogue the voting record of the 112th Congress on issues of importance to the Arab American community. For the House, we included 15 items: two bills on the Arab Spring, five bills and one letter on Palestine, two bills on Lebanon, three bills and a letter regarding civil liberties, and two bills on immigration.
RESOLUTION: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the conditions for the US becoming a signatory to the UN Arms Trade Treaty, or to any similar agreement on the arms trade.
Dear Secretary Clinton:
We are writing to reaffirm our commitment to the unbreakable bond that exists between our country and the State of Israel and to express to you our deep concern over recent tension. In every important relationship, there will be occasional misunderstandings and conflicts.
Our valuable bilateral relationship with Israel needs and deserves constant reinforcement. As the Vice-President said during his recent visit to Israel: "Progress occurs in the Middle East when everyone knows there is simply no space between the U.S. and Israel when it comes to security, none. No space." Steadfast American backing has helped lead to Israeli peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. And American involvement continues to be critical to the effort to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
We recognize that, despite the extraordinary closeness between our country and Israel, there will be differences over issues both large and small. Our view is that such differences are best resolved quietly, in trust and confidence, as befits longstanding strategic allies. We hope and expect that, with mutual effort and good faith, the United States and Israel will move beyond this disruption quickly, to the lasting benefit of both nations.

Reblogged from Everysaturdaymorning's Blog:
In September 2011, Operation Save America* started their States of Refuge* campaign. The stated goal was "...to establish the first abortion free states since Roe vs. Wade."* The targeted states were those with only one abortion clinic at the time. This included Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. With help from anti-abortion legislators, they are nearing their goal in Mississippi.
Since I have discussed abortion access on this blog before. I am afraid some of my readers may think that just because abortion is legal in America since Roe v. Wade, that the fight for women's right to autonomy and healthcare is over and we can just relax. Having a right to something means absolutely nothing if you do not have access.
State Representative Bubba Carpenter recently told a group of local county Republicans that "We have literally stopped abortion in the state of Mississippi," and that "the other side [is] like, 'Well, the poor pitiful women that can't afford to go out of state are just going to start doing them at home with a coat hanger.' That's what we've heard over and over and over. But hey, you have to have moral values."I hope I am not the only one who finds this quote shocking. When your moral values include forcing desperate women to unsafe and unsanitary medical procedures because that is the only way they can access them, you might need to rethink the basis of your morality.

Melts on oily lids when in hot weather.
I have oily lids and I live in a hot and humid country. It's fine if I am in an air-conditioned building but when I am outside, the eyeliner will start melting. Then it'll transfer onto my upper lids. Not a pretty look.
The brush applicator is very thin, so you can get a very fine line. But to me, the brush is a little too flexible. When doing a cat eyeliner, it takes a while to fill in the flick as the brush is thin.
It's not tear proof... Too expensive!
This is a good liner. The brush is tiny, flexible, and easy to use. It truly does glide on. It's a shiny dark inky black. Most of the time I go over with gel liner to matte it. This is waterproof in the sense that you can swatch it on your hand, rub it, wash your hands, and it won't move. I'm sure if your got your eyes wet from rain or something it wouldn't budge. It lasts throughout the day. However, I wouldn't wear this anywhere you know you'll be crying. It comes off faster than any liner I've ever used!! It's not salt water proof I suppose. For the price, I'd say that it's a deceiving rip off. NYX has great liners with the same brush for about a fourth of the UD price and it doesn't give a claim that'll make you angry later.
Absolute favorite liner
This is my absolute favorite liner. It's precise and gives me the control I in the beginning couldn't get from a gel liner and angle brush. My favorite color is perversion it's an amazing shade of black and last very long even through tears lol. try It!
My kind of eyeliner!
I have been sticking with the same liquid eyeliner for ages, but I've been wanting to try this one sooo badly, I finally managed to pick one up, and I think I've found a new staple eyeliner.
I'm used to a pen-style eyeliner, but this applicator is so thin and just the perfect size, it's SO easy to use!
It takes a couple seconds to dry completely, but once it does, it's there, for good, all day long. It stays perfectly black all day, with no flaking, smudging, no anything. I've decided I NEED this in more colors!
No joke, this is seriously the best eyeliner I have ever used.. I have to agree 100% with the name, this liner last all day and beyond.. you have to use a makeup remover for it to budge which is the type of product I was looking for in regards to lasting power. The applicator is thin, and gives you the ability to create a very gorgeous winged eye without the costume-like thickness of some liquid liners.
WILL REPURCHASE 100x over!
it seems good for me
I actually got this liquid liner along with the Book Of Shadows 4 on christmas as a christmas gift from my mom,and what can i say?? I...Love...It :D
It's a really pigmented and matte black,and for me it lasts for the whole day and it won't crease for my experience on this product,which is pretty good,i've been looking for such products like this for a long time now and i've found it now :D
This eyeliner is great for me. I'm new to using liquid eyeliner and this eyeliner gives me a lot of control when applying it. It is super black and it last all day. Would defiantly recommend product to anyone looking to try a new liquid eyeliner.
This is probably my favorite eyeliner. I love that it's waterproof, but you can still take it off when you're ready for it to come off. My only problem with this is how little product it seems you get. The actual brush part is SO long, and the part containing the actual product it soooo tiny. And I just hate spending so much money on an eyeliner that I can't use on a daily basis, because I feel like I'm wasting product if I mess up and have to start over. Overall, though, I love it.
This is was okay. The staying power is really good but it's difficult to clean up small mistakes because it flakes off. It dries fast so when you try to go back with a Q-tip, it will just come off in small chunks so you have to do it right first time. The brush was a little difficult to work with at first but with a little practice, it gets pretty easy. I don't think I would purchase this again though because of the price; I only have it because it came with the UD Book of Shadows Vol. 4.
impressive product.
First off, let me start out by saying I am perpetually on a quest to find the perfect liquid eyeliner. I've honestly tried practically every brand imaginable under the sun, from Yves Saint Laurent, Make Up Forever, Too Faced to drug store brands like Maybelline, Loreal and Revlon. Urban Decay, really hit the nail on the head with this liner. At first, I was semi-skeptical, due to the fact that its a brush on liner, rather than a felt tipped pen. But trust me when I say, the product works beautifully. I was very impressed with the color-payoff, (I got this liner in Perversion which is very dark black), not only did it go on perfectly, but the color was just as dark and precise at the end of the day as it was within the first application. My favorite part of this liner however would have to be the fact that the product exuded no oiliness. This seems to be my major problems with most liquid liners, (the runniness that accompanies the color during application). With this liner, I was able to do my top lash line in a matter of seconds, with no random product discharge sliding down my lids and without the product immediately drying up as soon as i take it out of the tube. Overall, this is a GREAT liner, that I would defiantly recommend to others. My only worry with this product is going to be shelf life, (I only just bought it at Ulta about two nights ago, so we will see how it goes) I know most liquid liners dry up quickly and become unusable within a month or so. I'm just hoping the shelf life is as good as the product itself!
