![]() ![]() The HD, Coastal, Bucoo SR, and our Slab series.With the introduction of the LowRider series twenty-years ago, Falcon pioneered the use of low-profile, single-footed guides to improve casting performance. "We do have four model series that are made overseas, yes. Here is the reply email I received from Falcon rods today: I love the ones I have and there is always room for more of them for sure. That series is where I shall concentrate on. I am glad the Falcon Bucoo Micro rods are still made in the USA. including other "popular" brands also made in China. I will avoid the made in China rods as best as I can. I will now avoid these made in China rods from Falcon and keep the ones I now have that are made in the USA and I will continue to collect the made in the USA rods from Falcon, but I won't be buying any new rods from them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well Kadas, Falcon rods has come clean on this subject and admitted 4 of their rod line series are now made in China including the bucoo SR just like Kadas said. I just sent them an email requesting confirmation of one or the other. At Falcon the tradition of performance and quality through craftsmanship and innovation continues." The new series features innovative cross-directional carbon fibers with "Cobra Cloth™" reinforcements, achieving a lighter and stronger blank. New for 2017 is the latest generation of BuCoo-the BuCoo® SR. We finish each rod with the finest components available-100% Fuji guides and reel seats. This hands-on process and decades of experience gives us the unique ability to fine tune actions. On our American-made rods, we start with USA-sourced aviation-grade carbon fiber and craft the blanks ourselves in-house. "Quality starts with the finest components and materials in the world. If you want a low priced but still quality rod then look at the HD Series." If you want to continue buying great American made rods just keep buying the Lowriders and Caras that you have always liked. Like also has been said, they are an entry level rod with high quality components for a lower price point. The ONLY rods that are being made in China are a NEW series of rods called the HD. Nobody in Broken Arrow Oklahoma is losing their jobs. They are not making any of the CURRENT models that have already been made in Oklahoma in China. If you want to buy an American made product, you still have plenty of options with Falcon." St Croix, Shimano, American Rodsmiths, BPS, Castaway, Kistler, All Star, Duckett, E21, and Eagle Claw all are either made purely in China or at least one series within the brand is made in China. The HD series is $69 retail and has a very aggressive warranty. The only reason the HD's are made in China is too keep the retail down in a struggling economy. All the Originals, BuCoo's, Lowriders, Coastals, Caras and Experts willl still be made in the USA. "The only Falcon rod series that will be made in China is the HD series. I did a google search on it and I do find some statements like this on fishing forums, but is that a confirmation it is true? If it is true then I won't be buying any more "new" Falcon rods. The Falcon HD and the new Bucco SR series rods are in fact made in China ![]()

The X-H2 offers a slightly better video mode than the X-T5 and is the one to buy if you're predominantly a videographer, although this new model certainly gives it a run for its money. ISO Speedīoth cameras have the same native sensitivity range of ISO 125 to ISO 12,800, which can be expanded down to ISO 64 and up to ISO 51,200. The resulting images are automatically combined into one DNG RAW file, which can then be output to a desired file format using suitable RAW processing software. Previously only seen on the company's GFX-branded medium-format cameras, in the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode the camera records 20 frames, shifting the sensor by 0.5 pixels between each frame. Pixel Shift Multi-shotīoth models feature the special Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode, which delivers 160 megapixel images for the ultimate quality when detail really matters. While it allows the XT5 to record 6.2K/30p video, the XH2 actually surpasses it by offering up to 8K/30p video recording. This is a BSI (back-side illuminated) sensor design that has much more of a focus on detail and resolution than out-and-out speed. They use the same X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, with HR standing for High Resolution.

Spotify stats websites are pretty accurate since they’re essentially using your data to generate the statistics. It’s a fun way to branch out and try new artists that you may not have thought to listen to before. This will, just like its name suggests, give you a playlist of songs that fit a certain outfit that you describe to the tool. One that I loved, in particular, is the Songs That Fit Your Outfit popup: They’ll even recommend songs based on your friends listening habits.Īs of lately, they’ve been releasing a lot of new features in-house to help users find new music. In addition, you can scroll down on the app or go to the “Discover” section of Spotify to find new music based on your taste. That means that by simply listening to the music you like, Spotify will get better and better at suggesting new songs that you might enjoy. Spotify is very good at suggesting new songs and artists to users based on their listening habits. Since you’ll get spammed with a lot of playlists that they’ll use to promote themselves, or other artists. ![]() Make sure that they’re not requesting to create, read, or write playlists on your behalf, for example. Spotify does a great job of keeping your data safe, but it is always important to be aware of the risks when sharing your information online.įor example, they’ll tell you exactly what permission or access each site will have to your Spotify data. Make sure to read the privacy policy of any website before sharing your information, and only share the information that you feel comfortable sharing. However, you should only share your data with websites that you trust. They just use your data in the frontend, and don’t really save it to a database. Yes, it is safe to share your Spotify data with these websites. Is it safe to share your Spotify data with other websites? This is specifically how many gigabytes you would need to download the songs as mp3 files. I knew it was a lot but trust me, you won’t realize until you see just how much is a lot.īut the main thing the website wants you to know is just how much storage are you going to have to clear up so you can download all of your Spotify music onto your device. I thought this alone was a cool feature because I never knew the exact amount of playlists, tracks, or hours my Spotify consists of. The website tells you how many playlists you have (I have 73?!), how many tracks you have in these playlists, and the number of hours and minutes across all of your playlists. ![]() None of the other websites do what this one does! ![]() ![]() ![]() "My whole career, I'm a guy that prides myself at doing everything on both sides of the floor. "It's amazing here for me," Westbrook told B/R. In a brief walk-and-talk interview with Westbrook after the game, he admitted he doesn't have to look over his shoulder for a quick hook if his shots aren't falling, as opposed to his time with the Lakers. He's going to make his imprint somewhere else."Ĭlippers head coach Tyronn Lue told B/R that Westbrook has emerged as the vocal leader of the team, a role that the roster didn't have prior to his arrival. It almost makes him go harder because he's not making shots. But I think his ability to not let that waver his overall game is a confidence flex of his own. Every night is not going to be a 30-, 40-point performance. Every night is not going to be a hot night. "You say absolutely nothing to him," George told B.R. When Westbrook can't find his offensive game, George said the best approach is to leave him alone. People don't judge him off who he is as a basketball player." They solely lock into whether he make or miss shots and judge him off of that. They don't see the intangibles, and they look past everything else that he does. ![]() Look at the block on KD to start this series off and the block on D-Book to finish the game. They don't see him for the rebounding, the defense. "They just see Russ for the shots that he misses. "This is the reason why Russ was such a huge pickup for us," George told B/R. His defense, particularly on his former teammate Kevin Durant, was exemplary. ![]() He ended the game with nine points, a game-high five offensive rebounds and 11 total boards, eight assists, two steals and a team-high three blocks. However, he rescued and closed the contest with a pair of clutch free throws, multiple huge offensive rebounds down the stretch, and a game-saving block on Suns star Devin Booker in isolation. Westbrook struggled to find his shot, finishing only 3-of-19 from the field. It was a ringing endorsement many couldn't comprehend at the time, but that advocacy paid off Sunday. He publicly vouched for the Clippers to sign Russell Westbrook after the Los Angeles Lakers shipped the former MVP to the Utah Jazz at the trade deadline following a contentious year-and-a-half tenure. The eight-time All-Star didn't contribute on the court in Game 1, but he had a consequential role in the end result. ![]() ![]() What to Look for in a Slow Feeder Bowl Volume It’s durable, easy to clean, and also comes in two sizes. If you prefer stainless steel over plastic, check out the Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feeder Bowl. It has deep, challenging grooves, a non-skid base, and comes in two sizes. Our favorite slow feeder is the Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl in the turquoise drop shape. In that case, soak in warm water and detergent first before scrubbing.ĭimensions: 8.5 x 11.75 inches | Volume: 2 cups 4 cups | Material: Plastic It has a non-skid bottom and is made of BPA, PVC, and phthalate-free plastic which is safe to wash in the top rack of the dishwasher.īecause of the twisty design, it can get grungy quickly and sometimes a top-rack wash isn’t enough to get it incredibly clean. The bowl comes in two sizes which hold as much as two or four cups of kibble. However, if your dog easily masters these puzzles, this one might be too simple! That can make it less frustrating for dogs who have trouble with less intricate designs. The swirly, flower-shaped design offers more surfaces for food to be pushed against. It has a non-skid base and can be cleaned on the top shelf of the dishwasher.ĭimensions: 9.5 x 8 x 2.65 inches (medium/mini) 12.75 x 11 x 2.88 inches (regular/large) | Volume: 2 cups 4 cups | Material: PlasticĪnother bowl from Outward Hound, this slow feeder is easier for dogs to retrieve food from than our top pick, which makes it a good choice for dogs who aren’t yet used to eating from a slow feeder. The bowl is made from plastic that is BPA, PVC, and phthalate free. That means all pieces fall in the grooves and it takes some time to eat them. One of our test dogs eats 1/2 cup per meal and uses the regular/large size. The mini/medium holds two cups and the regular/large holds four. It can be frustrating for pups new to the slow-feeder challenge, but most figure it out fairly quickly. ![]() The trenches are deep, which makes this even more challenging for dogs that have mastered puzzle bowls. ![]() A pup has to take time to pick up kibble in all the grooves and crannies in the maze-like bowl. This simple one with deep circular swirls is a favorite. Outward Hound makes a large array of slow feeder bowls in different designs, sizes, and colors. Grooves can be too big for some small dogs ![]() ![]() ![]() Broil 3 to 5 minutes, until salmon is crispy and glazed. Remove the salmon from the oven and change the oven setting to high broil.īrush the fish with pure maple syrup (or pour it over the fish) and place on the second to the top rack under the broiler. Sprinkle with paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and coconut sugar.īake on the center rack of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish). Place the salmon fillets in the casserole dish and brush with avocado oil. Spread it around with your fingers so that the salmon doesn’t stick to the casserole dish while baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and pour a small amount of avocado oil (or high-temp cooking oil of choice) in the bottom of a casserole dish (or spray with cooking oil). A simple drizzle leaves you with a nice finishing touch. Pure Maple Syrup: The star of the show here! The simple addition of pure maple syrup at the end of baking results in a lovely glaze that requires so very little effort. If you don’t have coconut sugar on hand, you can use brown sugar or skip it! I sprinkle it on at the same time as the spices. You can either replace them with something else or leave the recipe as is…it is plenty flavorful without!Ĭoconut Sugar: In addition to pure maple syrup, I use coconut sugar to generate sweetness and also form the crispy outer layer. I use it on everything! If you follow a Low-FODMAP diet, omit the garlic powder and onion powder. I find this combination makes an AMAZING dry rub for any type of animal protein. Spices: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, sea salt. I go with King salmon, but you can also do coho, sockeye, or trout. If you aren’t a fan of salmon, you can swap it for halibut or cod. I eat seafood every week in addition to taking an Omega-3 supplement to ensure my needs are being met. Omega-3s are very important to your overall health! Salmon: Salmon is packed with protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain and hormone health and are also amazing for healing your gut lining. If you tried my Crispy Honey-Glazed Salmon Recipe from a few years ago, you’ll absolutely love the maple version just as much! Ingredients For Maple Glazed Baked Salmon: The best part? It’s quick and easy to prepare, yet appears fancy! The salmon turns out nice and crispy, yet moist and tender, with a nice balance of herby, savory flavors with that delectable maple glaze. I receive a great amount of enjoyment out of combining sweet and savory flavors to create ultra palatable meals, and this easy dinner recipe is exactly that – scrumptious! In fact, fall is what inspired me to make this maple-glazed salmon recipe. Maple Glazed Baked Salmon makes for a nutritious, quick and easy healthy dinner recipe! Only a few basic ingredients are needed to make this sweet and crispy salmon come to life!

Image viewer and recording mechanism: The final magnified image of the specimen appears on the fluorescent screen.Specimen Holder: This is very thin carbon film or a collodion that is held in place by a metal grid.Ocular (projector) lens: The final image of the further magnified image is produced by the projector lens which are another set of magnetic lenses that create higher magnification of images, all the while maintaining excellent level of resolution and detail.Objective lens: The electron beam that comes out of the specimen and passes through the second set of magnetic lenses is usually termed as the objective lens and this lens produces the intermediate magnified image of the specimen.There is also a second condenser lens that focuses the electrons into a thin beam Condenser lens: This lens focuses the electron beam on to the specimen.Electromagnetic Lens: The electromagnetic lens are a combination of three types of lenses which aid in creating an image of the specimen:.The electron gun houses a tungsten filament that is heated to produce electrons Electron Gun: This is the part that generates the electrons.There are four major components in a transmission electron microscope.

I love how three-dimensional everything is!Īt night! We’re still working on the particulars of how to light them. Inside the house, in Doug’s office, this is the view! It’s funny how large these skeletons are on the ground, and how small they look on the house. Meanwhile, on the third floor, Skeleton #3 was going in quite nicely. I used the original wrapping wire, and the jute, to affix the broom together.

He didn’t really get good at the piano (and let’s face it, I’m horrible at the piano, so I can’t really yell at him).īut a beautiful sunny warm perfect fall day came around, and he had to go outside. I took one out to see how they worked, and just left him at the piano for a few days. We wanted to start the skeletons this year, but you have to get nice ones, and they are pretty pricey, so we started with just three, with plans to increase as the years go by. I’m not as big of a fan of the fake graveyard, and as our yard is so small, it doesn’t really work, anyway. They have some gorgeous ones, as you see here! Also of note, New Philadelphia is where I first fell in love with old houses. I drove past a house, and stopped the car, took a picture, and called Doug. I was visiting New Philadelphia, Ohio, which is where I first taught, and went back “home” to spend time with some of the people I love there. We brainstormed a lot, and then I drove by the answer. When we found out that Halloween was such a huge deal on our street, we thought about what we were going to do to decorate. ![]() |
