The first step is to open the envelope and lay out the pattern on your fabric, using paper scissors to cut around the edge of the seam allowances and checking the pattern pieces against yourself. The second step is to place and pin the pattern pieces according to the layout for your fabric width, right side out, and cut out the pattern pieces with triangles, arrows, broken lines, and unbroken lines. The third step is to trace the pattern with tracing carbon. When <a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/2023/02/15-ideas-for-using-your-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">sewing a pattern</span></a>, it is important to use a plastic tracing wheel, trace all pattern markings onto the inside of the fabric, check the pieces against yourself, pin, tack, and baste as needed, press as needed, fit as you go, and follow the instructions step by step.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When deciding how much fabric to buy, double the length plus the length of the sleeve if making something with a sleeve. When looking for fabrics, anything that feels stiff will have a lot of sizing and may go limp and not hold its shape when washed. To test for crushing, scrunch the fabric in your hand and see if the creases fall out.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, there are some drawbacks, such as insects and safety. Sportsmen should pack bug repellent and take precautions to protect themselves and their fishing partners.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What to do with a sewing pattern once it's been removed from its envelope.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You've scoured the pattern books for the perfect pattern for your material, and you're off to make it at home.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is the first step you must take?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When you open the envelope, everything is neatly folded because you chose a pattern for your size.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Begin with the instruction sheet, which will show you how to lay out the pattern on your fabric, with layouts for different widths of fabric and with or without nap. Some fabrics allow you to cut out your pattern pieces in opposite directions, while others require you to lay the pattern pieces all the same way or the fabric will show a different shade, such as velvets and corduroys.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Use paper scissors to cut around the edge of the seam allowances, not the scissors you'll be using to cut the fabric.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Always check the pattern pieces against yourself; you can pin the various pieces together and try it on to see if any adjustments are needed before cutting the fabric.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Place and pin the pattern pieces according to the layout for your fabric width, right side out, and cut your fabric pattern pieces out.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. You'll notice triangles known as notches. There are circles, arrows, broken lines, and unbroken lines. Some patterns include arrows on the seam stitching lines. This is the stitching direction provided by the pattern maker.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. After you've cut out all of the pieces, grab your tracing carbon. When you place the tracing carbon between the fabric and trace, the pattern will be marked on the inside of your fabric.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. Get a plastic tracing wheel if possible; it will not cut into your pattern tissue. Some metal tracing wheels will cut the pattern, making it difficult to reuse.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. Trace all pattern markings onto the inside of your fabric, using a rule to guide you along the long seam lines.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. You are now ready to sew your garment, and everything from your pattern is now on the inside of your fabric.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. Check the pieces against yourself once more to ensure proper fit.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. Pin, tack, and baste as needed, press as you go, fit as you go, and follow the instructions step by step.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. As a general rule, when deciding how much fabric to buy, double your length plus the length of the sleeve if you're making something with a sleeve. You will need twice your length for skirts or pants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. When looking for fabrics, anything that feels stiff will have a lot of sizing and may go very limp and not hold its shape when washed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">14. To test for crushing, scrunch the fabric in your hand and see if the creases fall out. If they stay, no matter how carefully you press it, this will always crush.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">15. Buy your notions at the same time you buy your fabric: thread, zipper, bias binding, interfacing, lining, and check the pattern envelope for what you'll need to finish your garment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So those are the main points for getting your pattern tight and sewing happier.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-54349781621834645662023-02-25T15:38:00.000+07:002023-02-25T15:38:05.406+07:00Top 10 Reasons to Learn to Play 'Chord' Piano<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-_ZK-85d4Lr9o7STR-JpFcYX-cRZpUsLCoRfkodGfXUsuQdvfb4LxfFgRS05_WpXpYhu3KAlh9IVzNJkunL15eJ7dpZ-L9PRuRLswlOb7zsctMUk5fgiCYGmDdpZnDHMsmI8O8gqisnNkqG6Z7cyIZqmjmka7g9ntrncCpr9wqcAfMCEgu-4L0ohX/w400-h266/Top%2010%20Reasons%20to%20Learn%20to%20Play%20'Chord'%20Piano.webp" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Learning to play "<a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">chord piano</span></a>" is a great way to learn to "chord a song" at the piano. It is simple to learn three chords, and you can improve your skills by learning more chords and rhythm patterns. You can also play hundreds of songs using only three chords, such as Amazing Grace Auld Lang Syne, Kum Ba Jingle Bells Ya Silent Night Joy To The World, and Happy Birthday From The Valley On Top Of Old Smoky. Learning chords can help your children learn to <a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/2023/02/top-10-reasons-to-learn-to-play-chord.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">play the piano</span></a>, guitar, or almost any other instrument, give you an advantage, and make you well-liked. Chord-based piano playing is good for your brain, wrists and fingers, stress reliever, and fun. Learn three or four chords and get started, or fall in love with it and become an excellent pianist.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are roughly a zillion reasons why you should learn enough chords to "chord a song" at the piano.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By "chord a song," I mean the ability to play three or four chords on the piano in a rhythm while you or someone else sings the melody. You don't have to be Van Cliburn to do this; all you need to do is learn a few basic chords and be able to move back and forth between them in some sort of organized rhythmic pattern.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Did you know that all of these songs (and hundreds more) can be sung or played using only three chords?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Amazing Grace Auld Lang Syne</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kum Ba Jingle Bells Ya Silent Night Joy To The World</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Happy Birthday From The Valley On Top Of Old Smoky...</p><p style="text-align: justify;">and possibly hundreds or thousands more!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With just one more chord added to the basic three, you can play another thousand or so songs. So, why not pick up a few chords and get started?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The following are my top ten reasons for learning "chord piano":</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1) It's simple. Begin by learning three chords.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2) Although it is simple to get started, you do not have to stop there. You can improve your skills by learning more chords and rhythm patterns.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3) You will be able to play "Happy Birthday" while the rest of the group sings it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4) You will be able to perform a half-dozen Christmas carols. If you haven't noticed, Christmas comes every year, so you'll get better each year as you participate in family gatherings.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5) By learning chords, you can help your children learn to play the piano, guitar, or almost any other instrument. Because most teachers do not teach chords, learning chords will give your children an advantage.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6) Others will admire you. That is correct. Musicians are well-liked. At parties and social gatherings, anyone who can play anything is in high demand. And if you can "chord" while others sing, you'll be well-liked.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7) Chord-based piano playing is good for your brain. According to studies, people who actively participate in music do their brains a lot of good. And, because chords require three or four notes at a time rather than one, you're exercising your brain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8) Playing the piano, especially with chords, is good for your wrists and fingers. (However, take the time to learn proper hand position!)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9) Piano playing is an excellent stress reliever. Many professionals unwind after a long day at work by expressing their emotions on the keyboard. You'll be surprised how much better you feel after playing a few dark and angry chords!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10) Playing the piano is a lot of fun. It's just plain entertaining. So learn three or four chords and get started. Perhaps you'll come to a halt and enjoy it for the rest of your life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But maybe you'll fall in love with it and end up becoming an excellent pianist who can read music as well as play chords!</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-78789204934469986302023-02-21T15:24:00.004+07:002023-02-21T15:24:37.600+07:0010 Photography Techniques<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1114" data-original-width="1600" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVeahtXGCKSP8BklGWmsEPG5_MI4oyLzjhzfvtYV9eCKdhp_JcFIIs9z2AQnwVk56kww7mkDlA5Mv8zfHYJcaAICxXUA9REo-rf2RD01EdLpt51qb7OTEB34niZdcgdpCFSBY2JUgc1QdJToSuxSoBkAVoFS2GV4d356EQ-qBEdWLkrvzqQD7xS9Eo/w400-h279/10%20Photography%20Techniques.webp" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Photography techniques</span></a> include making use of all available space, using forms to study, not including motion in shots, learning to use color contrasts, and getting close to your subject. These techniques are essential for taking <a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/2023/02/10-photography-techniques.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">a good photo</span></a> and don't require the most expensive camera or experience. Close the distance gap by getting up close and personal, compensate for shutter lag by anticipating what your subject will do, pan with the object, take more than one photo, and use a camera that can take continuous shots. Read the manual and follow the instructions carefully to get great nighttime photos.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Taking a good photo isn't as difficult as you might think. You don't need the most expensive camera or years of experience; simply follow these ten simple guidelines.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Enjoy!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tip 1: Make Use of All Available Space</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Don't be afraid to fill the entire frame with your photo. If you want to photograph something, it's fine if it takes up the entire frame with no or very little background showing. Keep distractions out of your shot</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tip #2: Use Forms to Study</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is an important aspect of photography. Recognizing forms in your photographs. Don't just look at an object; study its shape and form to determine the best angle from which to photograph it. Form is all around us and I highly suggest you read as many books on it as possible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tip 3 - Motion In Your Photos</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When photographing a still object, never include motion in your shots. If there is something moving while you are photographing a stationary object, your photo will not be as good. In addition, never place a horizon line in the center of your frame.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tip 4 - Learn to Use Color Contrasts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the best photos use white, gray, and black tones. You can take great shots with only one color on your subject, but it is the contrasts between colors in a shot that distinguishes you as a great photographer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tip 5 - Get Closer To Your Subject</p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the most common mistakes that photographers make is not getting close enough to their subject. Close the distance gap by getting up close and personal. A good shot can always be reshaped and resized, but you can't keep blowing up a distant object.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6th Tip - Shutter Lag</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Due to shutter lags, shooting action shots with digital cameras can be difficult. This means that when you press the shutter button to take a photo, it can take up to a second for the shutter to fire, and by that time, whatever you were photographing will have moved or changed in some way. This means you must compensate for shutter lag by anticipating what your subject will do and taking the photo just before it performs the desired action. This is not an issue with more expensive digital cameras.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7th Tip - Pan</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When taking an action shot with a slow shutter speed, pan with the object. Follow through on the subject from beginning to end, and one of those shots will be a winner. Taking more than one photo increases your chances of getting a good shot.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8th Tip - Continuous Shots</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To pan as I mentioned above, you'll need a camera that can take continuous shots and doesn't need to stop and process after each shot.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tip 9 - How to Get Great Nighttime Photos</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nighttime photography can be spectacular, almost magical... if done correctly! If not they can look horrible. Really, really bad. Without adequate lighting, even good cameras can produce mediocre results if the photographer is inexperienced.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tip 10: Read Your Manual</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If your digital camera has a special night mode, read the manual and follow the instructions carefully.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-7923534070145261382023-02-16T19:51:00.001+07:002023-02-16T19:51:38.813+07:0010 Themes for Scrapbooking<h1 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="2000" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWO3Ca8hQXlQBWKO_TnBXzUqakvt7MKfwF7wougNlGKD8y6NCVQ2ru1WICzcvwGcLvz7sYuwJJ00SD99eCcvyEfg7DAVrBCL1HE2LiRaapvnzPT40QAJrcnPj3tVaLY2rYy7KeG7Cz5c5BHPR2yRmTiHb3FhLsJZwEE-Tw48pF9VVtzZoQfzlia5vo/w400-h200/10%20Scrapbooking%20Themes.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></h1><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Scrapbooking</span></a> is important for many reasons, including preserving history and memories for future generations. It is important to keep track of how a baby grows and learns, and to save wedding memories such as the ring, the dress, the bride, the groom, the kiss, and the engagement party. It is also important to tell everyone about your holidays. <a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/2023/02/10-themes-for-scrapbooking.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Scrapbooking</span></a> is a great way to tell our stories, whether it is about holidays, pets, remodeling an old house, or getting rid of feelings about something. It is similar to keeping a diary, and can be used to create scrapbook pages dedicated to your interests, graduation/school years, and job.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are numerous reasons to scrapbook! For starters, it's history, right? And it is critical that we remember and cherish these memories, especially for future generations. I would have been overjoyed if my mother had saved stories to go with all of her photos. She still keeps my baby pictures and pictures of her family in shoeboxes. Isn't that a horrible thought?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We all have tons of photos of our ancestors, or at least the majority of us do, but there are so many other memories to treasure besides family trees. How about the first year of a baby's life? You can keep track of how your baby grows and what he or she learns month by month. This would make an excellent wedding gift.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, you'll want to save your precious wedding memories. Not only professional photos, but also photos from the reception, church, and possibly even your engagement party. Subthemes include the ring, the dress, the bride, the groom, the kiss, and so on. There are whole lists!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What about your holidays? You don't want to just throw these pictures in a regular album! That would be a waste of time! You'll want to tell everyone about where you went, what you saw, and what you did, right? Names, locations, and dates are all crucial in scrapbooking. That is why we scrapbook: to tell our stories! The same is true for holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do you have any animals? There are numerous cute ideas and embellishments for pet pages available. It's fantastic! I've scrapped my big red tabby cat Pooky and made really adorable memory pages. Pets are like children to some people!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Have you ever remodeled an old house and taken before and after photos? That is a fantastic scrapbooking idea. You can keep a journal of all the work you've done to restore the house, how long it took, and any mistakes you made along the way!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Get rid of your feelings about something. There doesn't even have to be a picture on the page; simply use your imagination to design a pleasing layout using only your words and emotions. It's similar to keeping a diary, except it might be something you want to show someone else. So keep it tidy! What about your interests? I've created scrapbook pages dedicated to scrapbooking!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Just a few more to get you started: graduation/school years and your job (if it's worth keeping). Have a great time scrapping!!!</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-36188724878259590782023-02-05T17:21:00.002+07:002023-02-05T17:21:12.250+07:00Ways to Begin Your Stamp Collection at a Low Cost<h1 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="540" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg61RkQKY1XL4bHxaS6QjEx2T-P8u9ti_Vbh4U838MACP3U-YiQsgNmxccosuw4R0jdm63ffNorwu6gYezLpSVnn_cdVanatsEB_pm1A8jY7eYVUoPIJLi664Mw4NXZkdAdsfPINQFmNXsSOziuyFv6FGzAu6hwlDTbVBaOf33TLnLrEvwvOYigV_bI/w400-h266/Ways%20to%20Begin%20Your%20Stamp%20Collection%20at%20a%20Low%20Cost.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></h1><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/2023/02/ways-to-begin-your-stamp-collection-at.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #20124d;">Stamp collecting</span></a> does not have to be a costly pastime. Even if you have limited financial resources, you can enjoy stamp collecting. Here are ten inexpensive ways to begin collecting stamps.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Request that your friends use commemorative stamps on their mail to you. Commemorative stamps are larger than regular stamps and are issued to commemorate famous people, places, or events. Collectors are much more interested in commemorative stamps because they are usually issued in smaller quantities than common smaller stamps. Inform your friends about your hobby and ask them to request commemorative stamps from the post office.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Use commemorative stamps when sending out offers that require postage or self-addressed, stamped envelopes. When the envelopes are returned to you, you will receive them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Request that your neighbors, friends, and family members save their used stamps for you. When you tell them you're a stamp collector, most people will gladly save their stamps for you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Ask someone you know who receives letters from other countries to save the stamps. Always keep an eye out for potential stamp contacts, and don't be afraid to ask them to go through their mail for you before they throw out all the envelopes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. Request that friends and family save their office mail envelopes for you. Many businesses receive a large amount of foreign mail and regularly discard stamps of interest and value to collectors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Inquire if your parents have any old letters with stamps on the envelopes. Do not remove the stamp from the envelope. This will result in thin spots or tears, both of which will detract from the appearance of the stamp and reduce its value to collectors. Always tear off the envelope corner so that there is paper all around the stamp, and check that all of the perforations are intact.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. If you know other stamp collectors, see if they have duplicates they'd be willing to give or sell you. Many collectors have thousands of duplicates and are often willing to help new philatelists get started by giving them stamps or selling them stamp packets at much lower prices than can be purchased in stores or by mail.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. Look for stamp companies that advertise free stamps. Free stamps are frequently offered in conjunction with "approvals," a collection of other stamps that you must either buy or return. This is a convenient way to purchase stamps. However, if you return the approval stamps, you must usually pay the return postage.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Look into local stamp clubs. Stamps may be given away as prizes by clubs, or they may be available for purchase at a low cost. Some stamp clubs support junior clubs at the community center, YMCA, or schools.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. If there isn't already a stamp club in your area, consider starting one. It only takes four or five other stamp collectors who want to learn about and trade stamps and ideas to get together.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Even novice collectors can have a good time with free stamps and a few inexpensive accessories, such as a small album and a package of stamp hinges.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, what are you holding out for?

Budget is essential, as there are kits that cost tens of thousands of dollars and those that cost less than $100. Level of competence is also important, as giving one that is below level can be disastrous when the skill level is too advanced. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Motorized or not, some model ship kits include motors that allow them to self-propel through the water. Model ship kits can be expensive to fuel and maintain, so it is important to consider the period of time, particular ship, quality, and support available from hobby shops and online kit sellers. Buy from a reputable company with professional support and assistance.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is critical to consider what you are purchasing whenever you make a purchase. Whether you are purchasing for yourself or as a gift for someone else, you should consider your options and think about what you want to purchase. Buying model ship kits is no exception. Furthermore, because model ship kits can be quite costly, it is sometimes even more critical that you carefully consider your options before committing to one kit or another. Here are some things to think about before purchasing a model ship kit.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Budget. This is always the first thing to consider when purchasing anything, including model ship kits. Because there are kits that cost tens of thousands of dollars as well as those that cost less than $100, knowing how much you are willing to spend is essential.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Level of Competence. Different model ship kits are available for people of varying skill levels. Before you buy, determine whether you require a beginner, intermediate, or advanced kit. Giving one that is below level is not so bad, but the results can be disastrous when the skill level is too advanced.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Whether motorized or not. Some model ship kits include motors that allow them to self-propel through the water. These can be expensive to fuel and maintain, so make sure you know what you're getting into before buying a motorized ship.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Period of time. There are ships from a variety of time periods. Model ship kits cover a wide range of historical periods in sea travel. If you or the person you're buying for has a preference, make sure the kit you buy meets that preference.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Particular Ship. Not only can model ship kits be purchased for a specific time period, but replicas of actual ships can also be built (or still do). So, determine whether you or a friend requires a specific ship for a collection, and then purchase that ship.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quality. If you are concerned about the quality of your model ship kits, make sure you buy them from a reputable company. There are numerous hobby shops and online kit sellers who can assist you in finding a high-quality ship at a reasonable price.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Support. Support and advice are available from the best hobby shops and other sellers of model ship kits. Some even provide product warranties. If you want good service, make sure you buy your kit from a company that offers professional support and assistance.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-90175123536315482912023-01-27T03:36:00.010+07:002023-01-27T03:36:00.169+07:00The Most Important Factors to Consider When Folding and Flying the Perfect Paper Airplane<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-MGmXl1aqg3xI53T5rV3KY_nRVGjFo9X6qx1SyYAWRazzLOdmmgso5bk3jfFSham5vI_Jp75Vl1r872qVtwkO8OY2PWMKG9okOPX9Un-RHNRYSznwBDUONzCciCNJnuIOpVUvYhUP7YdApvwxuLpoGx0AFMOlugD7G5eoIzkI_Z4fo0A-gYP2GdND/s600/The%20Most%20Important%20Factors%20to%20Consider%20When%20Folding%20and%20Flying%20the%20Perfect%20Paper%20Airplane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-MGmXl1aqg3xI53T5rV3KY_nRVGjFo9X6qx1SyYAWRazzLOdmmgso5bk3jfFSham5vI_Jp75Vl1r872qVtwkO8OY2PWMKG9okOPX9Un-RHNRYSznwBDUONzCciCNJnuIOpVUvYhUP7YdApvwxuLpoGx0AFMOlugD7G5eoIzkI_Z4fo0A-gYP2GdND/w400-h266/The%20Most%20Important%20Factors%20to%20Consider%20When%20Folding%20and%20Flying%20the%20Perfect%20Paper%20Airplane.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The 7 Essential Elements of Folding and Flying the Perfect Paper Airplane are the 7 essential elements to consider when making a paper airplane. Paper should be 8 1/2 x 11 inch white sheet of paper, thicker paper, and a thicker paper such as photo printer paper for better creasing and alignment. Fold the tips of the wings up slightly for most planes, check that the center body is straight and aligned, and make tight folds to create a sleek flying machine. How do I make my paper airplane fly higher? Throwing the plane in the direction of the wind blowing towards you is a trick, but it will not provide any additional distance.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To make it do dives, drop it quickly to the ground and then pull it back up before crashing, or hold it as high above your head as you can or throw it off a high area. Make sure the wing tips are folded up, then point the nose DOWN towards the ground and drop the plane - no thrust. How can I make it fly backwards? Hold the plane as high as possible or throw off from a high area to make it fly down then loop upside down and backwards.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The 7 Essential Elements of Folding and Flying the Perfect Paper Airplane</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What kind of paper should I use? Any 8 1/2 x 11 inch white sheet of paper will suffice. A thicker paper, such as photo printer paper, however, allows for better creasing and alignment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">How can I get my paper airplane to do loops and curls? Fold the tips of the wings up slightly for most planes. If you bend too much, your plane will take a long time to climb and then crash.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What if my paper airplane flies to the left or right? Check that the plane's center body is straight and aligned.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Why is my paper airplane collapsing so quickly? Many times, your paper airplane was not folded tightly enough, causing excessive drag on the unaligned body. Make sure to make tight folds to create a sleek flying machine!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">How do I make my paper airplane fly higher? Throwing the plane in the direction of the wind blowing towards you is a trick. It will actually lift the plane upwards and may even cause it to levitate for a short period of time, but it will not provide you with any additional distance.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">How can I make my paper airplane do dives? To make your paper airplane dive, drop it quickly to the ground and then pull it back up before crashing. You can also hold your plane as high above your head as you can or throw it off a high area. A good location could be your balcony, stairs, or even a stadium. Make sure the wing tips are folded up, then point the nose DOWN towards the ground and drop the plane - no thrust.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">How can I make my paper airplane fly backwards? Hold your plane as high above your head as you can or throw off from a high area to make your plane fly down then loop upside down and backwards.

These steps include learning the names of all the notes on each string, learning how to build a C Major scale, understanding basic chord construction, practicing triads with common chord progressions, and practicing step 5 in all keys. Mastering the fundamentals requires being able to play in all keys and transpose any song to any other key. 95% of guitarists fail to master the fundamentals, but it doesn't have to be that way. It is not at all difficult and all you need is a step-by-step method that makes it enjoyable.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is not easy to learn how to play the guitar well. There are so many methods and so many opposing viewpoints that it's difficult to know what to do.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But the simple truth is that if you want to be the best you can, as soon as possible, all you have to do is copy what the pros do...</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Learn the Fundamentals!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mastering the fundamentals entails being able to play in all keys. Being able to transpose any song to any other key - preferably on the spot.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Did you know that 95% of guitarists fail to master the fundamentals? Yes, they intend to do it, but they almost never do.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Why is this the case? It's because they think it's boring, complicated, and a lot of work. Most importantly, it's no fun! And they were mostly correct. It doesn't have to be that way. Mastering the fundamentals can be a lot of fun if you approach it methodically and step by step.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What does it mean to master the fundamentals?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are six basic steps you must take:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Learn the names of all the notes on each string, one at a time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Learn how to build a C Major scale.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The fundamentals of guitar theory. Simple stuff.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Discover how the chords of the major scale are formed and what they are... their names, and so on. Dm Em F G Am Bdim.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Understanding of basic chord construction.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Practice the C major scale triad patterns all over the fret board.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Triads are three-note chords. Learning and playing is simple and enjoyable.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. Practice playing triads with common chord progressions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Learn to play the triads and apply them to the most common chord progressions that can be found in thousands of songs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Practice step 5 in all keys.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Once you've mastered steps one through five in the key of C, it's a breeze to learn the other 11 major keys.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hint: It's a lot simpler than you think. All of the patterns are identical to those learned for C major. You are not required to learn any new patterns. This is cookie cutter stuff.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is not at all difficult. All you need is a step-by-step method that makes sense and is simple and enjoyable to use.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-18285403178919881942023-01-22T11:15:00.012+07:002023-01-22T11:15:00.186+07:00Six Good Reasons to Read Romance<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><h1 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhH3Nw73lEKNheyQ_5j8OFoOdrC1gwj4bPvfMXLbprS0qsxnejFkPt0epCeDoic2lOTFNH_nTS7cFpAI9UMNgnF1F1PBoLro5VDX_iO6awimYHtSs5H-zoJ8Fe09t2pL9YhVL3Ye-Rpf8dczkzPFii1g-FCgm-5cYU-pHEfDG7a0a8rJWVw-xI-WIA/s1600/Six%20Good%20Reasons%20to%20Read%20Romance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="901" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhH3Nw73lEKNheyQ_5j8OFoOdrC1gwj4bPvfMXLbprS0qsxnejFkPt0epCeDoic2lOTFNH_nTS7cFpAI9UMNgnF1F1PBoLro5VDX_iO6awimYHtSs5H-zoJ8Fe09t2pL9YhVL3Ye-Rpf8dczkzPFii1g-FCgm-5cYU-pHEfDG7a0a8rJWVw-xI-WIA/w400-h225/Six%20Good%20Reasons%20to%20Read%20Romance.jpg" width="400" /></a></h1><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>Six Good Reasons to Read Romance</i></b>. Critics often dismiss romance as fluff, but there are good reasons to read it. <a href="https://physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com/">Reading romance</a> novels allows us to escape into a romantic adventure for a while. The pure escape provided by reading romance novels and stories is well worth the cost. Read romance novels set in various locations and parts of the world to learn about new states and countries. If nothing else, reading allows you to be someone other than yourself.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Romance stories and novels are a great way to get a glimpse into various types of love lives. Reading a great romance story or novel has the distinct advantage of providing you with ideas to try out with your partner.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Few things are more entertaining or contentious than reading romance novels and stories.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Critics frequently dismiss romance as fluff, and your high school English teacher probably never told you to grab the latest bodice ripper and enjoy yourself (though he or she was probably reading them in secret). So, why should you read romance?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Read romance simply because you enjoy it! We all have so much on our plates; why read books and stories we don't like just because they're on the New York Times Best Seller list?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Relax with your favorite romance novel and have fun!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The pure escape provided by reading romance novels and stories is well worth the cost.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Daily life can be stressful, and romance novels or stories allow us to escape into a romantic adventure for a while.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We return to our lives refreshed and ready to tackle that mountain of dishes!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Reading romance novels set in various locations and parts of the world allows you to learn about new states and countries.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can even travel back in time with a historical romance novel and learn about how people lived in other eras.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can even travel into the future to see what life—and romance—might be like in a hundred, or even a thousand years!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Reading romance allows you to become someone else. Yes, when actively reading, you can completely transform into another person.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may meet yourself on the page, but you may also discover an entirely new way to approach a romance problem—and sometimes even the solution to a relationship problem.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If nothing else, reading allows you to be someone other than yourself. You're Lindsay in the novel, dashing around London with a dashing count chasing you, not Linda, who has four loads of laundry to do and dinner plans to make.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. Romance stories and novels are a great way to get a glimpse into various types of love lives without having to ask awkward questions or endure conversations you'd rather avoid.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Reading a great romance story or novel has the distinct advantage of providing you with information and ideas to try out with your partner!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">And your partner will undoubtedly be grateful!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that covers leaves, stems, and buds with white powder. Rust is a rose disease that causes orange-red blisters that turn black in the fall. Spraying Benomyl and Funginex every 7-10 days may help. Aphids are small soft-bodied insects with brown, green, or red bodies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They feed on plant juices extracted from tender buds. The use of Orthene and malathion may also help your roses' health.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Many people were drawn to the beauty and fragrance of roses. Consider it coming from your rose garden. These flowers are known to be difficult to grow, but anyone can begin rose gardening in her own backyard. Rose care will keep it looking beautiful.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To ensure that your most prized rose garden is in good health, simply follow these rose care tips for dealing with the majority of their health issues:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Black Spots on Rose Garden Leaves</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This condition is commonly referred to as black spot. On leaves, black spots appear as circular circles with fringed edges. They turn the leaves yellow. Remove the infected foliage and pick up any fallen leaves around the rose as a solution. Artificial sprays for rose care may be used to prevent or treat this type of rose disease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Young canes that are stunted or malformed</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that covers leaves, stems, and buds with a white powder that is spread by the wind. The leaves curl and turn purple as a result. To treat this fungal disease that could ruin your rose garden, use Funginex or Benomyl.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Leaf undersides with blisters</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rust is a rose disease that causes orange-red blisters that turn black in the fall. It attacks new sprouts in the spring. This disease can survive the winter. What you can do is collect and dispose of infected leaves in the fall. Spraying Benomyl and Funginex every 7-10 days may help.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Leaves and flowers that are malformed or stunted - not for your rose garden</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Spider mites, which are tiny yellow, red, or green spiders that live on the underside of leaves, could have caused this. They also drink the juices from the leaves. The use of Orthene or Isotox is good rose care and will aid in the treatment of this infestation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. Weak, mottled leaves with tiny white webs beneath them</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Aphids could be to blame. They are small soft-bodied insects with brown, green, or red bodies. Frequently found under leaves and flower buds. They feed on plant juices extracted from tender buds. Sprays containing malathion or diazinon may help roses survive these insects.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Flowers that do not open or open deformedly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thrips are most likely to blame for the infestation in your rose garden.

What happens to your plants when you go on vacation?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may have asked your neighbors if they could look after your plants at that time, only to discover that they are also leaving. However, by following these helpful hints, you can ensure that your plants are well cared for.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can take some precautions before going on vacation to help your plants get through this period without the daily care they require. Even if you find some minor damage in the plants when you return, these can be minimized if certain guidelines are followed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Examine the specific requirements of your plant. Some interior pot plants can survive on their own for up to two weeks if properly prepared.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. It is critical to keep the plants out of direct sunlight, as they can be easily burned by too much light. However, lack of sunlight is equally dangerous, so place your plants in a room with hazy light that is neither too bright nor too dark. A room facing north is ideal.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Keep your plants well watered at all times. There are now automatic watering systems that do not require electricity and provide enough water to your plants while you are away.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. You can also build a homemade system to water your plants while you are away. Place a large container or bucket of water next to the plant, with one end of a cotton rope in the water and the other end about half an inch into the soil.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Water will moisten the cotton rope and eventually reach the soil. If you experiment with how much water your plants require before you leave, you can ensure that you are using a large enough container to keep them watered for an extended period of time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. You can prevent your plants' water from evaporating by placing them in a clear plastic bag with holes. If the room temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius, it is recommended that a large container of water be placed in the room to ensure adequate humidity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. The plants can also be placed in the bath and covered with a clear plastic sheet with holes. Most importantly, remember to water your plants liberally before leaving!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sign up for my newsletter, The "Beautiful Gardens Email Club", for more useful tips to care for your pot plants.

Every car owner should carry a jack with them wherever they go. An Oil Wrench is essential for a successful oil change because it removes the oil filter and allows the oil to be changed quickly. A 3/8-inch socket set allows a car owner to loosen and then tighten a wide range of bolts. A funnel prevents fluids from becoming overfilled, which can cause serious problems. Vice grips can hold a wide variety of car parts and allow the user more leverage for tightening or loosening a part.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Automobiles are significant investments. The maintenance of a car becomes increasingly important as it ages. Every car owner should have a variety of tools. Auto shops can sometimes charge exorbitant prices for simple repairs that could have been done at home for much less. Having the right tools and knowledge will enable any car owner to save money, learn more about their vehicle, and maintain it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUxgTRaBTDeNXM4K4QGalxxVrGv48Z4r_dvMCnG6ZFEFmcuDo_-f3FMHUruTMdXLfX5u7nqcx-PwV7eM0LWqvnk-k998Vm9dEtsGpcdziYg4Q5hlD75eLjOa9fTXoxv2fTSo0fhjac01ujOlHnmyhvvMTUYECNzflWOGVtfz5z2gW80ZH7XepN-2a/s1000/5%20Automotive%20Tools%20Every%20Auto%20Owner%20Needs.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUxgTRaBTDeNXM4K4QGalxxVrGv48Z4r_dvMCnG6ZFEFmcuDo_-f3FMHUruTMdXLfX5u7nqcx-PwV7eM0LWqvnk-k998Vm9dEtsGpcdziYg4Q5hlD75eLjOa9fTXoxv2fTSo0fhjac01ujOlHnmyhvvMTUYECNzflWOGVtfz5z2gW80ZH7XepN-2a/w400-h266/5%20Automotive%20Tools%20Every%20Auto%20Owner%20Needs.png" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Every car owner needs a jack and jack stands. When working on a car, it is frequently necessary to elevate the vehicle. Simple procedures, such as tire rotation, can be performed at home with the assistance of a Jack. Furthermore, every car owner should carry a jack with them wherever they go. If you get a flat tire, having a jack and a spare tire on hand can help you replace it quickly. A powerful jack and strong jack stands in a garage allow an auto owner to reach every point underneath the car and thus solve problems more efficiently.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Oil changes are one of the most important car maintenance procedures. To keep a car in good condition, the oil should be changed every 3,000 miles. An Oil Wrench is essential for a successful oil change because it removes the oil filter and allows the oil to be changed quickly. An auto owner who does not have an oil wrench may be forced to take their car to a mechanic and overpay for a simple oil change.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. When dealing with engine parts or hard-to-reach areas under the hood, proper tools are frequently required. A 3/8-inch Socket Set allows a car owner to loosen and then tighten a wide range of bolts. Different extensions enable the auto owner to obtain the best torque angles and thus make auto jobs much easier.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. A funnel, some rags, and a bucket come in handy when changing oil. Once again, an oil change is one of the most important car maintenance tasks that anyone can perform. Many people, however, lack the necessary tools and knowledge for a successful oil change. A funnel can also be useful when refilling other fluids in one's vehicle. The funnel prevents fluids from becoming overfilled, which can cause serious problems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. Finally, every car owner should have a good pair of vice grips. Some times a part will just not come loose. Other times, despite one's best efforts, a car part may not appear to be tight enough. Vice grips can hold a wide variety of car parts and allow the user to obtain more leverage for either tightening or loosening a part. When confronted with a part that simply will not come loose, many car owners will give up and take their vehicle to a shop. Having vice grips on hand can help to avoid this issue.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, no car exists that does not necessitate ongoing maintenance. However, with the right tools, anyone can fix minor issues and maintain their vehicle without the assistance of a mechanic. The right tools can result in a longer-lasting vehicle and significant cost savings.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-77063912989698401272023-01-07T11:25:00.010+07:002023-01-07T11:25:00.184+07:00 Tips to Find the Coolest Charms Online<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlBoxd8j4-iw2vSFM7ArX2U-zxj_nf__LP0kI6havTptIY6D9L4qfKpKJm7WgOjFpIi_lbf8X_-GQsoa5UMunRk6aVtwPK0w_qw4zteJofestsiodqQNTHN0nNGSzG_WzrTpBhDB6EQwicI-XWC2WfFo3vgcZT8o9QP_Go9f24VYp0G6edSj1GN4ao/s225/Tips%20to%20Find%20the%20Coolest%20Charms%20Online.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlBoxd8j4-iw2vSFM7ArX2U-zxj_nf__LP0kI6havTptIY6D9L4qfKpKJm7WgOjFpIi_lbf8X_-GQsoa5UMunRk6aVtwPK0w_qw4zteJofestsiodqQNTHN0nNGSzG_WzrTpBhDB6EQwicI-XWC2WfFo3vgcZT8o9QP_Go9f24VYp0G6edSj1GN4ao/s1600/Tips%20to%20Find%20the%20Coolest%20Charms%20Online.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Wow, Charms are famous objects those days.

All music has a commonality beneath the surface that is organic to all forms and styles of music. Music is composed of three elements - melody, rhythm and harmony. The melody is made up of a horizontal line of notes that move up and down on the treble clef. Rhythm is the music's beat, swing, and throb. Harmony is the musical background - the chords or intervals "behind" the melody.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's no secret that almost everyone enjoys music in some form or another. After all, it is the universal language, and we all speak it to some extent from birth to death. It begins with our mothers' lullaby and ends with our funeral song, with a zillion stops in between.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But what exactly is music? What keeps it going? We all like some aspects of it and dislike others.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The country-western fan may not be a jazz fan, but he or she certainly enjoys the sound of pickin' and grinnin'. And the jazz fan feels the exact opposite.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">That's exactly how it should be. There simply would not be the variety that we have now if we all liked the same type of music. We can listen to music ranging from heavy classical and opera to rock, children's songs, Broadway musicals, gospel music, and blues.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Each has its place, and each appears to be vastly different from another type of music on the surface. The key phrase here is "on the surface." But there is a commonality beneath the surface of all music that is organic to all forms and styles of music.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, what is it that all music has in common?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">At least three things - sometimes more, sometimes less:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Melody</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Rhythm</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Harmony</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The melody is the part of a song or composition that you whistle or hum - the song's tune. In some ways, it is the most obvious of the three elements because melody is what distinguishes a song. It would be difficult to imagine a song or piece without melody.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The melody is almost always written in the treble clef, also known as the treble staff, in musical notation. It is made up of a horizontal line of notes that move up and down on the clef as the tune rises or falls.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rhythm is the music's beat, swing, and throb. Depending on the type of music, it occurs in repeating patterns. It resembles a horizontal line of beats that happen at regular or semi-regular intervals. A waltz, for example, is built around a heavy beat followed by two lighter beats. So a waltz is in triple meter, with one strong beat followed by two weak beats, and then repeated.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A march, on the other hand, is typically composed of a heavy beat followed by a light beat, followed by another heavy beat followed by another light beat. (Of course, I'm simplifying - there are many varieties...) So a march is in double meter, as one would expect given that we have two feet and march in left-right-left-right patterns.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">All rhythms are some combination of triple meter and/or duple meter, and the possibilities are endless, ranging from boogie to R&B to mambos, sambas, bossa novas, and so on.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The third aspect of music is harmony, which is the musical background of a song - the chords or intervals "behind" the melody. A song without harmony sounds empty, similar to a vocalist singing without an accompanist, or accapella. Harmony is not required for music to function, but in practice it almost always is, even if it is just the interplay of two melodies, as in counterpoint.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You could spend a lifetime studying the nuances of music, but in its most basic form, it is these three elements combined: melody, rhythm, and harmony.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-3161654301277337062023-01-03T11:11:00.012+07:002023-01-03T11:11:00.161+07:00Choosing the Best Ornamental Plants to Improve Bird Habitat in Your Landscape<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBD8P2cBSl_c7dEuvO4T8Pl5ShpcDQcPTg4LhLDnKHQjsnd8Pq9rHlm2YWxSx9gyU-RGN7l_IVXFthprLMhUsa32LKvTanAk3vDIUadgVTcVkUdzc58bIGEOl6dzmq8gEQyKCPVV1GXIIPogBqXsKFmabwIQ0LQD2k-ElM8_FRsm43m5vsTVw5rBLA/s1200/Choosing%20the%20Best%20Ornamental%20Plants%20to%20Improve%20Bird%20Habitat%20in%20Your%20Landscape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBD8P2cBSl_c7dEuvO4T8Pl5ShpcDQcPTg4LhLDnKHQjsnd8Pq9rHlm2YWxSx9gyU-RGN7l_IVXFthprLMhUsa32LKvTanAk3vDIUadgVTcVkUdzc58bIGEOl6dzmq8gEQyKCPVV1GXIIPogBqXsKFmabwIQ0LQD2k-ElM8_FRsm43m5vsTVw5rBLA/w400-h320/Choosing%20the%20Best%20Ornamental%20Plants%20to%20Improve%20Bird%20Habitat%20in%20Your%20Landscape.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnums are attractive, versatile, and adaptable shrubs that can be used to improve bird habitat in any landscape. They are suitable for use as hedges or screens, as well as in mixed perennial and shrub borders. Some viburnums, when properly pruned, can grow into medium-sized trees. Viburnums are classified as wet woodland plants. They can be found in nature along steam banks from Long Island to Florida.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Several are useful for today's water-conscious gardeners or in difficult urban environments. The Burkwood viburnum is one of the most well-known viburnums. Viburnums are tough and hardy, excel where other plants fail. Aim for a 20-25% evergreen ratio when choosing shrubs and trees for bird habitat enhancement. Native trees and shrubs ensure that fruits and berries are available for your area's bird population.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Birds can be a welcome addition to any setting. The best ornamental plants for improving the habitat of your back yard should be chosen for features that provide food and shelter for birds.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnums are excellent sources of food and shelter for bird habitats.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnums are attractive, versatile, and adaptable shrubs that can be used to improve bird habitat in any landscape. They are suitable for use as hedges or screens, as well as in mixed perennial and shrub borders. They can be used as specimen plants or in groups. They are typically shrubs, but some species can grow into small ornamental trees. They range in size from 2 feet tall by 2 feet wide for the Dwarf American Cranberry to over 15 feet tall for the Siebold.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnums are plants that are interesting all year. In the spring, all Viburnums produce a profusion of white to pink flowers. Their leaves are large, attractive, and frequently textured. Some viburnums have delightfully fragrant flowers that appear in snowball-sized clusters in the spring. Pink buds that develop into white flowers can be found in their flower clusters. Some fruits start out red and eventually turn black. The glossy, dark green leaves turn a burgundy color in the fall. Birds rely heavily on midsummer berries for food. The cranberry viburnum is notable for bearing fruit in the fall but ripening late in the winter. Viburnums have vibrant red to purple foliage. Some viburnums, when properly pruned, can grow into medium-sized trees. Viburnums are excellent as specimen plants or as anchor plants in mixed borders that your birds will enjoy. There is no more versatile group of shrubs for hedges or massing in groups than viburnums, which thrive in all seasons and provide year-round interest. Evergreen viburnums include the Prague viburnum 'Pragense'. Others, like leatherleaf viburnum, are semi-evergreen in colder climates, losing their leaves when temperatures fall below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The majority of viburnums grow in clusters or colonies. These colonies form thickets that are unrivaled as bird cover. I've seen how this has protected birds in our backyard from hawks that couldn't fly into the viburnum shelter where birds hide.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The adaptability of Viburnums is its best feature. While they prefer full sun and well-drained, moderately watered soils, they will grow well in part shade in alkaline, clay soils. They are rarely attacked by diseases or pests. My children have run them over with brush hogs and they have survived. Their fibrous root system facilitates transplantation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnums have long been popular garden plants, prized for their white, often fragrant spring flowers and stunning fall foliage. However, Asian viburnums have so far taken first place. The Burkwood viburnum (Viburnum x burkwoodii) and the Korean spice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii) are two of the most well-known viburnums, filling the air with an enchanting clovelike odor in mid-spring. The doublefile viburnum (V. plicatum f. tomentosum) is also popular for its layered habit, fall foliage, and clusters of red fruits. Acerifolium Viburnum (Maple-leafed viburnum) Although I wouldn't garden without any of these, several of our native viburnums hold a special place in my heart. They may not have the fragrant flowers of their Asian cousins, but I adore them for their brilliant fall foliage color as well as their abundant fruit displays, which attract wildlife to my garden during the fall and winter months. Several are also useful for today's water-conscious gardeners or in difficult urban environments. They only require corrective pruning and are rarely affected by pests or diseases.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnums are classified as wet woodland plants. They can be found in nature along steam banks from Long Island to Florida. When you visit us at 5275 West Swamp Rd., ask us to show you some in their natural habitat that we discovered along our stream bank. Under normal landscape conditions, these plants thrive. I especially like the spring floral display and the viburnums that bear fruit in the fall. Winterthur has beautiful red leaves and loads of fruit in the fall. A cross pollinator, such as viburnum nudum, is required for this cultivar.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Native Americans made arrow shafts out of Viburnum dentatum (arrowwood viburnum). Their stems are long and slender. This plant will thrive in areas where other plants struggle. If you've had trouble growing plants in a harsh environment, try a viburnum.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnums</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On our farms, we grow over ten different types of Viburnums, from seedlings to 5' shrubs. If you have poor soil due to construction compacting, try viburnums. Because they are tough and hardy, they excel where other plants fail.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">American Cranberry Tree</p><p style="text-align: justify;">KoreanSpice</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Blackhaw</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Arrowwood</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Viburnum</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Chicago Luster (we have 500 3-6' to sell by September 28th, 2005)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Summer Snowflake Dawn</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Shasta</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Winterthur</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Blue Muffin</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Burkwood</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Erie</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tea</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Consider one of the many Viburnum family members if you want a good-looking hardy shrub that will attract and feed birds.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Trees and shrubs in the landscape should provide food for birds. Natural food sources are preferred. Try to mimic the native sources of food that native bird populations require. Plants should provide an abundant food supply all year. Native trees and shrubs ensure that fruits and berries are available for your area's bird population.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When choosing plants for bird habitat enhancement, aim for a 20-25% evergreen ratio. Evergreens can be broadleaf, such as holly, or cedar, such as eastern red cedars. Multi-stemmed plants are preferable because they provide more shelter. Following these simple tips will increase your enjoyment of birding.

Silk is a relatively fragile material and should be re-strung every few years. Nylon stretches significantly less than silk and does not rot when wet. Beads with sharp edges or that are heavy, like silk, should be avoided. To prevent fraying, I recommend coating nylon thread with bee's wax or "Thread HeavenTM ".</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bonded nylon is available in a variety of colors and on smaller spools. This comes close to being a "Universal Thread", "Stringth" and "Silkon" are two brand names.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">One crucial lesson I learned is that there is no such thing as an all-purpose (Universal) stringing material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are the main stringing materials, as well as how and when to use them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">THREAD OF SILK: </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Silk has a wonderful "hand" (a soft, flexible feel). This thread is available in a variety of sizes and colors. It is packaged on spools and "carded" with a needle attached. This is a traditional stringing material that creates lovely knots between pearls and beads. However, silk is a relatively fragile material. It stretches, is cut by abrasive beads, and rots when wet, so pearls strung on silk should be re-strung every few years. Only use silk when stringing pearls and lightweight, smooth-holed beads. A needle is required.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">THREAD ON NYLON: (Nymo): </p><p style="text-align: justify;">This thread is also available in a variety of sizes and colors. It is packaged on spools, bobbins, and "carded" with a needle. Nylon is less fragile than silk and can be used in the same places. This material knots beautifully and can be used for pearl stringing, seed beadwork, loom weaving, Peyote and other specialty stitches, and heishi. Nylon stretches significantly less than silk and does not rot when wet. Beads with sharp edges or that are heavy, like silk, should be avoided. To prevent fraying when using nylon thread, I recommend coating it with bee's wax or "Thread HeavenTM " before use. A needle is required.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">BONDED NYLON: </p><p style="text-align: justify;">A much stronger type of nylon thread. For added strength and abrasion resistance, the strands are physically bonded together. Although it knots well, it lacks the "hand" of silk. Bonded nylon is available in a variety of colors and on smaller spools. Because of its abrasion resistance, you can use it with "hard", more abrasive gem beads; in fact this comes close to being a "Universal Thread". "Stringth" and "Silkon" are two brand names. A needle is required, but you can form a "Self-needle" by putting "Super Glue" on the end. This is one of my favorite beading materials.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">FISHING LINE: </p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is a single strand of hard, semi-rigid plastic. It does not knot well, and sun or ultraviolet light can cause it to weaken and fall apart over time. Fishing line is purchased in sporting goods stores on small spools. I personally use fishing line for two reasons. I use it to string together "raw" strands of beads and to do preliminary stringing while designing a necklace (I transfer the beads to a better material for the final product). There is no need for a needle. This is not a material I would use for a finished beaded piece.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-27700538771654954902022-12-30T15:05:00.006+07:002022-12-30T15:05:50.119+07:003 Little Known Tips for Online Craft Supply Shopping<p style="text-align: center;"><b>3 Little Known Tips for Online Craft Supply Shopping</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMkrQYUwwVEvN33DmPSWVStvq7CtvBoK6COOMXrKwr0A_X3Op6piufb_-4tBnb7alo1HplOT1oHD2X4LA56V0Scx7F4RzV1COJt7loLzj5RsKpbMe-WTkNQwkJp19NmJKkrIMc6SKULkbcN2_Ub56a9l79Cr5axluSCA5xoXWvMjN8mRi20oJtaNa/s1200/3%20Little%20Known%20Tips%20for%20Online%20Craft%20Supply%20Shopping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMkrQYUwwVEvN33DmPSWVStvq7CtvBoK6COOMXrKwr0A_X3Op6piufb_-4tBnb7alo1HplOT1oHD2X4LA56V0Scx7F4RzV1COJt7loLzj5RsKpbMe-WTkNQwkJp19NmJKkrIMc6SKULkbcN2_Ub56a9l79Cr5axluSCA5xoXWvMjN8mRi20oJtaNa/w400-h209/3%20Little%20Known%20Tips%20for%20Online%20Craft%20Supply%20Shopping.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">If you search hard enough, you can find almost any type of craft supplies that you are looking for. Ebay is an excellent source for closeout merchandise when businesses go bankrupt or have fire sales. Many well-known craft stores, such as Michael's, have their own websites.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Allow me to ask you a question. Did you ever imagine that the internet would become so powerful and pervasive that craft supplies would become big business on the internet? I didn't either. But it is correct. If you look hard enough through the various search engines, you can find almost any type of craft supplies that you are looking for (or your local retail store). However, there are a few major websites worth checking out the next time you're looking for craft supplies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1) Amazon.com. Amazon's reach has recently (in the last few years) expanded into the far reaches of the internet. Of course, I'm referring to the fact that many online merchants sell via Amazon.com's website. If you search for 'leather craft supplies,' Amazon may not have what you're looking for. Amazon may, however, have a partner retailer who sells their leather craft supplies and lists their products on Amazon. Consider Amazon to be a massive retail search engine that displays items from companies other than its own.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2) Ebay. Ebay is an excellent source for closeout merchandise. This means that businesses go bankrupt and have fire sales. Because many of these sales have moved online, you may be able to get a great deal on some merchandise that is being auctioned off on the world's largest auction site.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3) The websites of retailers. Many well-known craft stores, such as Michael's, have their own websites. These websites frequently have great deals on merchandise that is also available in their retail stores. Even these retailers, however, must occasionally close out large lots of merchandise. The internet is a great place to do just that. Many of these large retailers will use the web to move a large amount of product quickly because there are no real overhead costs (aside from the website's operation). Of course, the retailer must have a mail order or store pickup system in place to do this, but most do. Check the website of your local retailer; you might be surprised.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There's a lot more to shopping for craft supplies than meets the eye. Learn everything there is to know about shopping for crafts online; there is a whole world waiting for you.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-15993237677010067362022-12-29T07:47:00.008+07:002022-12-29T07:47:57.104+07:003 Easy Steps to Growing Plants from Seed<p style="text-align: center;"><b> 3 Easy Steps to Growing Plants from Seed</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6N3PqHau0rM2pAS28JlsjNHbAnPwSAbxSEX2ZBb77qaVx2Nu7hljGGD7XGNZkdk7ogtmEBkYQF2VRkgUq_JBBEPTm_wLdmQ8Ul6_hLDHTVGtFQsd3ok9JQ9tqGcQrGma1uP-BzQd9aW7aVLtOggz753MidGGcfmGC6xsZ6U3whv5hg1qJmKuQQOHj/s1200/3%20Easy%20Steps%20to%20Growing%20Plants%20from%20Seed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6N3PqHau0rM2pAS28JlsjNHbAnPwSAbxSEX2ZBb77qaVx2Nu7hljGGD7XGNZkdk7ogtmEBkYQF2VRkgUq_JBBEPTm_wLdmQ8Ul6_hLDHTVGtFQsd3ok9JQ9tqGcQrGma1uP-BzQd9aW7aVLtOggz753MidGGcfmGC6xsZ6U3whv5hg1qJmKuQQOHj/s320/3%20Easy%20Steps%20to%20Growing%20Plants%20from%20Seed.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Growing your own plants from seed is one of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of gardening.

Of course, it is a very cheap way to grow the number of plants you require for your garden or containers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This article will focus on growing seeds from packets purchased at a garden centre, as this is the simplest way to get started. On the front of these packets will be a picture, and on the back will be growing instructions, including germination times and the best time of year to sow. The instructions are critical, so keep the packet even if you have used all of the seeds!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Required equipment:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Use clean pots or seed trays with drainage holes that aren't too flimsy. - Seed compost or multi-purpose compost works just as well.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Clear plastic bags or cling film or propagator - Vermiculite - can be used instead of compost to give the seeds a light covering - Dibber or pencil and widger or teaspoon - Small watering can with fine rose water</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Plant labels – white plastic ones are inexpensive.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. Planting the seed:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Fill your pots or seed trays with compost to about 1 cm below the rim and water well. - For small seeds, tip them into the palm of your hand and lightly tap it with your other hand to sprinkle the seeds thinly on to the compost. - For large seeds, push the seed into the compost until it is just covered by its own depth of compost. - Cover the seeds thinly with a little compost.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Place the pots or trays in a large loose plastic bag or propagator, or wrap in cling film.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Keep them in a warm, light location, such as a windowsill but out of direct sunlight. - Water gently if the compost becomes dry.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Pricking out and germination:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When the seeds germinate, the first thing you'll notice are the seed leaves, which are two small round leaves that look the same on all plants. Then the first true leaves appear, and you can tell that these tiny leaves are similar to those on the mature plant. This is the time to transplant the seedlings into new containers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Fill clean 9 cms pots or seed trays with fresh compost and water thoroughly. - Gently loosen each seedling from its pot/tray with a widger or the handle of a teaspoon, holding the seedling by its seed leaf. - Make a hole in the new compost with a dibber or pencil and gently lower the seedling into the hole, making sure that all the roots are tucked into the hole and the seed leaves are just above the surface.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Keep in bright light, but not direct sunlight, and check on a regular basis. Keep watered, but not soggy - Once the roots have filled the pots or trays, it is time to plant them in the garden, either in containers or in the garden border.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's not as difficult as you might think, but it does require some thought and care: keep the equipment clean to avoid disease or infection; don't over-water; provide enough light; handle gently; and check regularly.</p></div>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2148720218352945654.post-31269521679189553962022-12-28T21:08:00.002+07:002022-12-28T21:08:15.577+07:002 Methods for Transplanting Rose Bushes of Any Age<p style="text-align: justify;"> 2 Methods for Transplanting Rose Bushes of Any Age</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpRtQ1SPnG9DRD6GRa8JE7A7XglDBWe_4xXl-Gbyf7-aiA2WdvPIxFD-J3umLqroOmwYOJEwjz6LhbPshD7eivLbwZbRklCeAAvk16JkAwasadvsyCbdQEJN3QCeuGz9CoPxyugeDE8W14U1YQwbNkGj6rq6cLlm8m7mn1olU4nCoObqF6rBW2-D7/s840/2%20Methods%20for%20Transplanting%20Rose%20Bushes%20of%20Any%20Age.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="560" data-original-width="840" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpRtQ1SPnG9DRD6GRa8JE7A7XglDBWe_4xXl-Gbyf7-aiA2WdvPIxFD-J3umLqroOmwYOJEwjz6LhbPshD7eivLbwZbRklCeAAvk16JkAwasadvsyCbdQEJN3QCeuGz9CoPxyugeDE8W14U1YQwbNkGj6rq6cLlm8m7mn1olU4nCoObqF6rBW2-D7/w400-h266/2%20Methods%20for%20Transplanting%20Rose%20Bushes%20of%20Any%20Age.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">You may want to move a rose bush from one location to another, but are afraid of shocking the bush. There are two effective ways to reduce the shock to the bush and successfully relocate it. The first and simplest is to drive a spade down vertically to its full length of blade about twelve or fifteen inches from the plant. The rich new soil will be permeated by a network of secondary roots. The more small fibrous roots a bush has, the better it can feed from the soil.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may want to move a rose bush from one location to another on occasion, but you are afraid of shocking the bush and killing it. However, there are two effective ways to reduce the shock to the bush and successfully relocate it to a more suitable location in your flower garden.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The first and simplest method is to drive a spade down vertically to its full length of blade about twelve or fifteen inches from the bush and then circle the process until all lateral roots have been cut. This should be done in June or early July, with the bush moved two or three weeks later.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dig a sloping hole on one side that leads to the vertical spade-cuts, remove some of the surface soil around the bush to reduce weight, drive the spade under the plant, and gently lift it in a ball of earth. Wetting and dabbing the outside of the ball will make it stickier. Slide it into its new hole via another sloping cut, fill the spaces around the ball with friable soil, and thoroughly water it. To reduce moisture loss and shrivelling, the bush must be pruned and all leaves carefully clipped off.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By cutting any strong root at a reasonable distance from a plant, you force the growth of many smaller feeding roots. Because roots only feed through their terminal points, the more small fibrous roots a bush has, the better it can feed from the soil.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The second, and more difficult, method is to prepare the rose for the move by digging a trench in early spring in a semicircle around the bush, with a radius of a foot or slightly more from the stem, depending on the size of the plant. This will remove the roots in that area. Fill the trench with good-quality loam that does not contain any fermenting manure. The rich new soil will be permeated by a network of fibrous secondary roots. Complete the circle in a similar manner three months later, around Christmas time. Around four months later, in the autumn, the bush can be lifted with a good ball of earth held together by a mass of fibrous roots.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In either method of transplanting, the rose bush has been safely root-pruned, which reduces shock and ensures the plant's survival. You may be wondering why you would need to use that second, more involved method when the first is so straightforward. The only time it is required is when moving a large old rose plant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You now have two excellent methods for successfully transplanting rose bushes. Even if you don't want to do it very often, feel free to design your own flower garden!

If your ride is not properly setup, it may bounce like a jello mold. Changing your shock fluids could be the cure for landings that look like Dom DeLuis' double chin.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Who can deny that going wide open throttle off an incline and hurtling through the air like a missile is one of the biggest thrills of driving your off-road RC buggy or truck? It's fantastic!</p><p>Everything that goes up must, of course, come down, and your RC buggy is no exception. The 4 point landing is arguably the second best thrill (landing on all four tires). If your ride is not properly setup, it may bounce like a jello mold or bottom out like a tank. Both of these are undesirable.</p><p>If you race, bad landings add time to your laps, and if you just bash your RC buggy, well... we can't be losing style points now, can we? Changing your shock fluids could be the cure for landings that look like Dom DeLuis' double chin or have the precision of a block of granite.</p><p>Changing the fluids to a thicker variety will aid in the resolution of your RC buggy bouncing issue. Your ride should be dampened and composed on landings. You will also have less chassis roll.</p><p>If your bottoming out and adding nasty scrapes to your RC buggy chassis under-side, use a thinner shock fluid to let your ride have a little more "give".</p><p>Because every track is different, it's a good idea to ask local racers what they use. Especially other racers who use the same model of RC buggy as you. I guarantee you'll get a variety of responses, and they'll almost certainly use different shock oils on the front and rear, just like I do. </p><p>This can compensate for the distribution of weight on your buggy or truck, as well as your driving style. Play around with it. Fortunately, shock oil isn't too expensive. So enjoy yourself.</p>fishinglove98http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743190422920492944noreply@blogger.com0
