Indirect percussion uses a long piece of antler or a piece of antler/ivory set into a piece of wood, pressed against the piece of rock. Direct percussion utilizes a hammerstone or antler/ivory billet to directly strike the rock to remove a large flake. The main methods of flake removal can be classified as direct percussion, indirect percussion, and pressure flaking. We can see through the artifacts in different regions that the tools and micro techniques vary a little between both region and time however, the idea of chipping cryptocrystalline rocks into projectiles and blades remains constant even if the details are slightly different. The mechanics of flintknapping are based on the same principles. The same techniques used to knap agatized coral in Florida are nearly identical to how we work obsidian from Oregon or Edwards Plateau chert from Texas. The workability of these stones is all very similar. A person could spend a lifetime just learning about all the different varieties. If you want to break them down by specific locations and traits, there are thousands of quarries. is producing something very similar, so I highly recommend their website as a means of learning more about the knappable stones in your area. That may happen in a future edition, but it will take years to put together and collect data accurately. It was of great interest to me to put together a state by state map of rock quarries suitable for knapping. The number of stones in North America that break with a conchoidal fracture is nothing short of mind boggling, yet they are not always easy to find. Here in America, we have a huge array of sedimentary chert, agate, jasper, chalcedony, and volcanic rocks like obsidian, dacite, porcelanite (coal-fired), and basalt. The composition is so similar that we are splitting hairs with semantics. True flint occurs in Europe however, the closely related cousin is chert which is essentially the same thing but occurs in limestone. True flint is classified as a cryptocrystalline formed in nodules in chalk deposits. We use the word flint today as a general term for rocks with high silica content or cryptocrystalline. Rather than discuss all the knapping techniques, I will cover some important things not often talked about in knapping and how it relates to making deadly projectiles. That is why I have devoted quite a bit of time to teaching flintknapping via video on the HuntPrimitive YouTube channel and at. However, the absolute best instruction for flintknapping is one-on-one or video instruction. Flint Knapping and Heat Alterations We could write an entire book just on knapping flint. This may also help you choose some of your own flint knapping supplies depending on the direction would like to continue your journey. It gives a little further insight to the importance of flint knapping and heat alterations. Below is an excerpt from my book "The Secrets & Science of Primitive Archery". Experimental archaeologists, primitive enthusiasts, and survivalist still practice these skills for a myriad of reasons to enrich our lives.

And for those of you who have tried Rub ‘n Buff before, share your favorite color and favorite use for it in the comments. Fortunately, applying a new coat of Rub ‘n Buff will get it back to looking shiny and new again. If it’s on a high-touch piece such as a doorknob or cabinet/drawer knob or pull, it may eventually (after months or years) show signs of wear with daily use. When used on a mirror, frame, light fixture, or other piece that’s not handled frequently, you shouldn’t ever have issues with the finish wearing off. Once Rub ‘n Buff is completely dry, it won’t come off on your hands when touching a piece you used it on. Other common uses for Rub ‘n Buff include changing the finish on door knobs & hinges, curtain rods, and light fixtures. ![]() I didn’t even take the mirror off the wall to do it! I simply placed a large piece of kraft paper underneath the mirror so I didn’t get any Rub ‘n Buff on the wall when applying it. Sources: Dresser (it’s an old piece that I painted Worsted) | Dresser knobs | Mirror | Acrylic lamp | Birch Woods framed art print | Bust planter (large) | Black & white grid box | White linen drapes | Paperwhite art print I used the gold leaf color to change the finish from bronze to this: Nail polish remover or mineral spirits can be used to remove any stubborn stains.Īnother great use for Rub ‘n Buff is to change the finish of art & mirror frames like I did with above the dresser in our bedroom. If you got Rub ‘n Buff on your hands, warm water & soap will remove most of it. If you have any excess Rub ‘n Buff on the piece you’re working on or got the Rub ‘n Buff anywhere you don’t want it, wipe it off immediately since it will be much harder to remove once dry. I usually wait a day before applying a second coat so the first coat has time to fully harden. Some materials might require a second coat if you want full coverage, especially those with a slick surface. The more you buff, the shinier it will be. Once it’s fully dry (it dries quickly but I typically wait an hour or two to be safe), buff with a clean cloth to even out the finish and make it shine. You want a thin, smooth, even coat – don’t leave any globs. To apply, put a small dab of Rub ‘n Buff on your finger (I use a disposable thin glove) or a clean cloth (old t-shirts pieces work great) and rub the paste on your item evenly in small circular motions. While Rub ‘n Buff is supposed to work on any surface, I’ve had some slick metal surfaces that it didn’t work very well with. For slick surfaces, I recommend spot testing it first in an inconspicuous place if possible. While you don’t typically need to sand before applying Rub ‘n Buff for most surfaces, for slick, nonporous surfaces, I recommend lightly sanding with a high grit sandpaper to help with adhesion. For metal surfaces that are grimy, wipe them down with mineral spirits to clean them. Before applying it, make sure the surface of the item you’re using Rub ‘n Buff on is clean and dry. You can use Rub ‘n Buff on everything from metal to wood, ceramics, and painted surfaces. It comes in small tubes (a little goes a long way) in a variety of colors. Just as you’d expect from the name, using it involves rubbing the paste on and then buffing it to create a luster finish. Rub ‘n Buff is metallic-finish paste that is made with Carnauba waxes, fine metallic powders, & pigments. ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Mountain dew white out diet![]() That being said, it seems like we will have some pretty good flavors to choose from.Īs for what the combination of 50 flavors business is all about, the last time Liberty Brew was released in the summers of 20, the brand never revealed the 50 flavors and it remains a mystery to this day. All this according to soda news extraordinaire, on Instagram, who is not convinced that they really put 50 flavors in the Liberty Brew. And returning to stores is a blue Dew (called Mtn Dew Liberty Brew), which tastes like-and this is true-a “combination of 50 flavors,” presumably to celebrate the 50 states. A new new white flavor (called Mtn Dew Freedom Frenzy) will taste like lemonade. A new red variety (called Mtn Dew Star Spangled Splash) will taste like raspberry and strawberry. What they will taste like is very on-brand for Mtn Dew. Well, thankfully they will not taste like hot dogs, and likely won’t taste like those other two things either. So just what are these new Mtn Dew flavors? Are they red, white, and blue? Will they have distinctly American flavors like apple pie, hot dogs, and a notoriously difficult-to-navigate healthcare system? ![]() I’m here to tell you it’s gonna be red, white, and blue all over with three flavors of patriotic Mtn Dew, two new and one just waiting to dew what they dew best: get consumed by us, the people, of the United States of America. And if that is actually you (and I’m sure for some of you it is) you are in luck, because the flavors and packaging of the 2024 Summer Dew flavors just leaked this week. As the holiday season rolls around once again, I bet I know what’s on all of your minds: the Mtn Dew flavors that will be released summer 2024. ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Hang in there cat skatboard![]() ![]() However, he was awarded just enough to cover his legal fees. "As a matter of integrity, " Baldwin sued each infringement he could find, winning every case. Baldwin held the copyright to the original photograph since March 1, 1970, and to the poster with text since December 7, 1971. Some were bootleg copies of the original, and some were produced by major greeting card and poster publishers. For a time, dozens of versions were available, using photographs or images of different cats – including at least one " blacklight" version – all with some variation of the "hang in there, baby" text. Predictably, the poster's popularity spawned imitators. He lived for a time solely on the income from the posters, taking a break from his studio work, something he admitted he would rather be doing than selling posters. Baldwin himself said " gave solace and strength to people everywhere, in all sorts of trouble, including myself". Baldwin received letters from people telling him the poster had helped them through difficult life events including recovery from surgery. The poster struck a chord with 1970s Americans, and it became one of the best-selling posters of the era. Popularity and copyright infringement The Outcast Kitten, by Jeanne and Victor Baldwin, featuring "Sassy" the kitten. ![]() When his studio business began to suffer, he hired a staff to keep up with the orders. More requests came in, and soon Baldwin was fulfilling orders between one and ten posters per day. The first copy of the poster was sold to the composer of The Music Man, Meredith Willson, who asked for it to be framed. Baldwin, himself a fan of the picture, saw an increasing demand and so produced it as a poster, choosing the words "Hang in There, Baby" to accompany the image.īaldwin hung a copy of the poster in his studio window in 1972, which resulted in more interest in the image.

He attempts to be accepted by his adoptive siblings by performing acrobatic tricks. Sassy, who has the fictional name Wiki in the book, is a lost kitten adopted by a mother cat with two kittens of her own. In 1970, Victor and Jeanne produced the book, The Outcast Kitten, featuring the photographs Victor had made of Sassy and other cats he owned at the time. In 1963, he photographed another of his Siamese kittens, Sassy, in various acrobatic poses, including the "chin up" on the bamboo pole that would later be used for the "Hang in There, Baby" poster. In 1956, he and his then-wife Jeanne Baldwin co-authored a children's book titled Little Kitten, Big World, featuring a Siamese kitten named Simmy. His first love, however, was animal photography, and he worked both in animal portraiture and as photo editor at Cat Fancy and Dog Fancy magazines. Victor Baldwin owned a portrait studio in Beverly Hills, California, photographing famous clients including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Ronald Reagan. It has since become a popular relic of the 1970s. The original poster featured a black and white photograph of a Siamese kitten clinging to a bamboo pole and was first published in late 1971 as a poster by Los Angeles photographer Victor Baldwin. There were several versions of the "Hang in There, Baby" poster, featuring a picture of a cat or kitten, hanging onto a stick, tree branch, pole or rope.

I have up to 8 birds on the feeder at a time with a bunch more waiting in the tree branches. If I have to buy a new one every year, I do not feel that that is a big deal. Welcome a wide range of wild birds to your yard with this Perky-Pet® Squirrel Stumper Wild Bird Feeder. Perky-Pet® Brass Squirrel Stumper® Bird Feeder. Perky-Pet® Squirrel Stumper® Bird Feeder. Northern Cardinals will find it easy to eat sunflower seeds. Perky Pet was established in 1958 and is a leader in bird feeder production in the United States. I bought a second one to use this season since the price is not bad and the squirrels can not destroy the plastic tube. Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® Max Bird Feeder. This bright red bird feeder made by Perky Pet is ideal if you are looking to attract multiple species of backyard birds. The plastic tube cracked and the center seam broke so that the whole plastic tube was loose and wobbly. Last fall, the feeder was taken down and opened by our neighborhood bear (he is clever) and left lying empty in the woods nearby with NO DAMAGE! I was impressed! But over the winter, the plastic got brittle and wind blew the feeder down to the ground a few times. I did have trouble figuring out the lid-you have to turn it a bit and then SLIDE it out from under the wire parts. However, I was pleased because they could not chew at the plastic parts they way they could with other feeders from this company. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.I had this feeder for about 8 months and it did deter the squirrels but some managed to hang on and get seed from the tray at the bottom. The ant guard keeps out ants and earwigs in the summer. Our feeders are used throughout the year. There were 14 birds on it at one point with more waiting. That feeder started out full 2 hours earlier. The temps were so cold that the nectar would freeze in about 2 hours which is why it looks "slushy" (and was changed out after the photos were taken). The pix I attached are of one of the feeders on the protected side of the house during a blizzard. One person initially told us no thank you as she had 5 or 6 all sitting in her garage, waiting to be cleaned, which she dreaded.

Droll Yankees® Yankee Whipper® Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder - 5 lb. Even with the hook on (we keep it from slipping off by using a small piece of packaging tape), it easily sits on it's top so It is easy to add nectar, and can sit upside down with the feed tray on until we take it outside to hang. In the winter we don't use the little flower bee guards (no bugs) so there's less to clean and birds can share a perch and hole if they'd like. ![]() It holds exactly 1 quart, so easy to make multiple quart jars of nectar and keep the waiting ones in the refrigerator if the birds are going through it quickly. The base and opening has a wide-mouth, so easy to wash, fill, and work with. I have been feeding hummingbirds for over 30 years and this is the first feeder that isn't annoying to work with.

I get to spend my day imagining what it's like to be in the head of a sparkly, flying, telepathic alicorn. But I think the most fun to write is Silveny. They're all fun-and challenging-in their own way. Are there any characters who are especially fun to write? Who knew? Your series has such a wide breadth of characters. Whenever a character won't cooperate, I realize, "ohhh, it's because I forgot about THIS!" So basically, my characters are smarter than me. I start every new book in the series by making a list of all the secrets I still have to reveal, and then I come up with a rough outline that can basically be summed up as, "I'M GOING TO DO ALL THE THINGS!" And usually once I start writing I realize how ridiculously ambitious my plan was and it's more like, "I'm going to do HALF the things!" Plus, when I really dive into the story and start asking myself, "okay, what are the characters going to do?" they always come up with very different plans than what I was thinking-and that's a good thing because that's how I spot the plot holes. ![]() Do you ever find that you have to change the timing of when certain reveals occur based on twists in the books that surprise you as you’re writing them? :) The series is packed with so many rich mysteries and questions. So I threw some elements of that into the first book and it just kind of grew from there, and now here I am, writing a love triangle, and living in fear of the day when readers rise up against me. When I was that age, it seemed like it was always that your crush had a crush on someone else-and then that person had a crush on yet another person, and it was a big mess of unrequited feelings. I was just trying to stay true to the characters themselves and stay true to the middle grade experience. But I definitely wasn't planning on starting any Team Wars. I mean, don't get me wrong-I knew Fitz and Keefe were both awesome characters. Honestly? That tooooooootally caught me by surprise. Did you have any idea when you first created the series that readers would respond so passionately to Fitz and Keefe and the love triangle between Sophie, Fitz, and Keefe? You just have to try your hardest and keep going. ![]() And Sophie's there to show us that you don't have to have it all figured out or get everything right. And I think that's something everyone can relate to-especially at the middle grade reading range: trying to figure out where you belong while still staying true to who you are is definitely not an easy task. So I work very hard to show Sophie's struggles, both internal and external, and I let her make mistakes-because Project Moonlark or not, elf or not, she'll still always be a girl caught between two worlds, trying to figure out where she fits. And I realized right away that I was writing the kind of character who could far too easily come across as "too perfect" or "too powerful" if I wasn't careful. I know her hopes and dreams and fears and insecurities and strengths and weaknesses. But, at the same time, she does feel very real to me. Ha, this is the kind of question that always makes me sound like I think Sophie's actually real-and I promise, I do realize she's a character that I created. What qualities in Sophie do you think allow readers of so many different backgrounds and personalities to find her so relatable? ![]() As much as readers will debate Team Keefe versus Team Fitz (or Team Dex!), ultimately they are definitely Team Sophie. And the harder they fight, the more the lines blur between friend and enemy. Every memory forces them to question everything-especially one another. She and her friends are part of something much bigger than they imagined-and their roles have already been chosen for them.Every clue drags them deeper into the conspiracy. ![]() Even the smallest secret comes with terrifying new responsibilities.And Sophie's not the only one with blank spots in her past, or mysteries surrounding her family. But after a lifetime of lies, sometimes the truth is the most dangerous discovery. She answered a few of our burning questions about the latest in the Keeper series, Legacy. She’s the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the award-winning middle grade series, Keeper of the Lost Cities, as well as the Sky Fall series for young adults. She’s studied art, screenwriting, and film production, but realized her real passion was writing stories for children.

In one of the first papers to consider the cerebral basis of the Capgras delusion, Alexander, Stuss and Benson pointed out in 1979 that the disorder might be related to a combination of frontal lobe damage causing problems with familiarity and right hemisphere damage causing problems with visual recognition. It is generally agreed that the Capgras delusion has a complex and organic basis caused by structural damage to organs and can be better understood by examining neuroanatomical damage associated with the syndrome. His cognitive impairment ended up in a severe, all-encompassing frontal syndrome. Apart from, his neuropsychological presentation was hallmarked by language disturbances suggestive of frontal-executive dysfunction. Fred presented progressive cognitive deterioration characterised both by severity and fast decline. On her surprised answer that she was right there, he firmly denied that she was his wife Wilma, whom he "knew very well as his sons' mother", and went on plainly commenting that Wilma had probably gone out and would come back later. The first episode occurred one day when, after coming home, Fred asked her where Wilma was. Fred's wife reported that about 15 months from onset he began to see her as a "double" (her words). His past medical and psychiatric history was uneventful. ![]() He had worked as the head of a small unit devoted to energy research until a few months before. The following case is an instance of the Capgras delusion resulting from a neurodegenerative disease:įred, a 59-year-old man with a high school qualification, was referred for neurological and neuropsychological evaluation because of cognitive and behavioural disturbances. She easily recognised other family members and would misidentify her husband only. At times she believed her husband was her long deceased father. She refused to sleep with the impostor, locked her bedroom and door at night, asked her son for a gun, and finally fought with the police when attempts were made to hospitalise her. At the time of her admission earlier in the year, she had received the diagnosis of atypical psychosis because of her belief that her husband had been replaced by another unrelated man. ![]() D, a 74-year-old married housewife, recently discharged from a local hospital after her first psychiatric admission, presented to our facility for a second opinion. The following two case reports are examples of the Capgras delusion in a psychiatric setting: It occurs more frequently in females, with a female to male ratio of approximately 3∶2. In one isolated case, the Capgras delusion was temporarily induced in a healthy subject by the drug ketamine. It has also been reported as occurring in association with diabetes, hypothyroidism, and migraine attacks. It presents often in individuals with a neurodegenerative disease, particularly at an older age. The delusion most commonly occurs in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia but has also been seen in brain injury, dementia with Lewy bodies, and other dementia. ![]() Cases in which patients hold the belief that time has been "warped" or "substituted" have also been reported. It can occur in acute, transient, or chronic forms. The Capgras delusion is classified as a delusional misidentification syndrome, a class of delusional beliefs that involves the misidentification of people, places, or objects. It is named after Joseph Capgras (1873–1950), the French psychiatrist who first described the disorder. Delusion that familiar people or pets have been replaced by identical imposters aggression with the person suspected as an imposterĬapgras delusion or Capgras syndrome is a psychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusion that a friend, spouse, parent, another close family member, or pet has been replaced by an identical impostor. ![]() |
