We'll start with the most difficult and work our way down. Now that you know how to tell if your vinyl is warped, old, or new, it's time to learn how to fix it! There are three ways to fix a warped record, each with a difficulty level. If you hear a faint buzzing sound, this is also an indication that it's not sitting flat on the turntable. If the record looks okay but is skipping, this is a tell-tale sign that there is something wrong. You can also identify warping when trying to play them. If it seems like there is a slight bubbling or rippling effect, then your record is damaged. ![]() The best way to tell if you have a bent record is to hold it up to a light source and look at the surface. If you have a very rare LP it might require a bit of trial and error. But the heavier you get, at 200 grams, then the more time you will need. A 1-hour heating cycle is usually enough for these. Usually, RCA/Dynaflex and Dynagroove records from the 1970s are the lightest at 80-100 grams. The lighter the record, the less time is required. We've had a lot of success over the years between 130☏ and 140☏ and very rarely need to go higher. This is a safe temperature to start, especially for those rare vintage albums. Overall, we recommend an initial temperature of 130☏ and a 1-hour heating cycle. It is recommended to use a thermometer (which is included) so the temperature is precise (included with The Vinyl Flat). The ORB machine has a fixed 2h heating cycle. If you are using Furutech, you can choose a time between 1h to 2.5h. ![]() Set the temperature to low, medium, or high.Ĭhoose the heating cycle time. This means increasing the temperature of our heating source and leaving it for a period of time. Or using a vacuum former to create suction and pressure and then heat it.īut how precise is this? You might get lucky with one or two, but why take unnecessary risks when other proven methods can work?ģ. Using a hairdryer to heat the record and move it around the edge. We have heard of some other crazy attempts. We want the temperature around 130-150 degrees Fahrenheit. Usually, the lowest temperature in a kitchen oven is around 175 degrees Fahrenheit-way too hot for unwarping. ![]() They work based on a range of temperatures, which is fine for cooking but we need higher precision for unwarping. Standard kitchen ovens inaccurately measure temperatures. The grooves on a record may easily be damaged by glass plates. You're applying some force to the record and heating it in the oven. (NOT RECOMMENDED, HIGH RISK) Sure, you went to a forum, and someone said they had success with two glass plates and using your kitchen oven.

![]() Limiting average global temperature rise to 1.5 or even 2 degrees Celsius is a ubiquitous talking point at UN climate conferences, diplomatic circles, and civil society demonstrations. We have seen such consequences increase over the past year, the hottest yet on record, replete with generational heat waves, floods, wildfires, and other unpredictable, extreme weather events. The UN’s IPCC report’s sixth assessment - a document synthesizing thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies, papers, and reports related to climate - makes clear that the continued use of dirty energy is a dangerous threat to the continued livability of our planet, and that we must cease both the extraction and use of fossil fuels and their greenhouse gas emissions or face potentially irreversible negative consequences. ![]() territory - was the third island to do so. The Kingdom of Tonga and the Government of Tuvalu - both UN Member States - were the first two jurisdictions to sign Blue Planet Climate Agreements, both at last year’s UN Climate Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, COP27. Here at this most consequential climate conference in Dubai, we are thrilled that Palau and Curacao are joining our Alliance, and helping us spread the 100% renewable-energy message to others.” We demonstrated in our work in Hawaii that not only is it necessary, but that, importantly, it is quite possible. ![]() But too many succumb to the assumption that eliminating fossil fuels is too hard or even impossible. And foremost among them is the threat posed by the continued use of carbon-based fuels. “The clock is ticking on implementing real solutions to our planetary polycrisis. 9), Curacao's Permanent Representative to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Albert Martis, signed one, as well, after BPA had had fruitful talks with Curacao Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas. 6), Republic of Palau President Surangel Whipps, Jr., took part in a BPA panel and then signed the Blue Planet Climate Agreement with BPA founder Henk Rogers. Palau and Curacao thus became the fourth and fifth Small Island Developing States (SIDS) country or territory to sign such a document, officially joining our nonprofit Alliance in a growing movement to demonstrate to the rest of the world that a carbon-free-fuel future is indeed possible. That’s the thinking of Blue Planet Alliance, which this past two weeks in Dubai - at the UN climate conference known as COP28 - officially added two more countries to its growing list of Alliance members, which signed Blue Planet Climate Agreements, a document declaring each signee’s intention to commit itself on the path to a 100% renewable-energy future. Perhaps a bottom-up approach of slowly building a network of countries and organizations committed to systems change that, once it reaches an apex, will be unstoppable. How are we going to move forward on ending the use of carbon-based fuels when international climate negotiations are so fraught, and held back by negotiators who can’t even agree on the science that fossil fuels cause climate change? Once that's done, the printers show up again. In the meantime it would be helpful if ShipStation would offer a PowerShell script or utility app that would just rip out (uninstall and then delete the leftover files), and re-install ShipStation Connect and AUTOMATICALY re-attach it to your account. When you fire up any ShipStation workstation and try to print, it will send the print job to that separate computer running Connect as a Windows Service, from there it gets queued up and then printed to your printers. This way the Service is always running, it's not dependent on the shipping workstation being powered on, or who is (or isn't) logged into it. A driver installation window should automatically open. Plug the USB cable back in to your printer. Then click 'Yes' or 'OK' to delete the driver. ![]() Right-click on the Dymo LabelWriter icon and select 'Remove Device' or 'Delete'.

Perhaps your company already has a Print Server set up. Dymo Labelwriter XL - as it will print out your shipping labels onto stickers for postage. In my opinion ShipStation should try to develop an enterprise version of Connect, where Connect runs as a Windows service on a separate computer, and that computer has a constant connection to network printers and/or your printers connected directly to it via USB. Plus it connects via USB to your PC or Mac so you can use it with popular mailing and shipping software, including Endicia InstaRate and DYMO Stamps.

In defense of ShipStation: I had previously used a different web-based shipping platform and their Windows app (equivalent of SS Connect) was also flaky. Uninstalling the app does not always fix it since there are files left behind that must be manually deleted. ![]() But more often they not I have to open the Connect UI and struggle with getting it to disconnect and reconnect.

I’ve also added the Paula’s Choice Clinical Phytoestrogen Elasticity Renewal Body Treatment, which contains soy isoflavones, which are plant-based phytoestrogens, to my nightly routine. The scent takes some getting used to (imagine an old vitamin store), but the serum and night cream feel amazingly concentrated and cooling-and after a month, I swear my skin feels thicker and more pliable and looks smoother. Among other anti-aging heavy hitters (retinoids, niacinamide), the line contains methyl estradiolpropanoate (MEP), a non-hormone estrogen-receptor stimulator that theoretically hydrates and plumps the skin. I’d apply a big schmear of cream every night, and it would absorb instantly and then seem to evaporate-infuriating. “Sometime during the pandemic, I realized that my already-dry skin was getting even drier, and that it must be due to the midlife mindf*ck I was experiencing called menopause. ![]() In the meantime, to help you explore your potential options, Oprah staffers tried some of the latest formulas: Alloy M4 Mega Miracle Menopause Moisturizer Both docs recommend talking with your ob-gyn or an endocrinologist who specializes in women's hormones who can take into account your health history and any current issues to determine the best choice for you. Some people have great success with topical estrogen and phytoestrogens, while others have had severe skin reactions,” Downie says. Potential ingredients include non-hormonal estrogen stimulators, phytoestrogens (estrogen-like compounds found in plants), and estriol (a topical estrogen that's prescription only). The need for skincare that can counteract these effects is real-because while there are loads of anti-aging products out there formulated to address dryness, laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles, “stopping the root cause with systemic or topical estrogen therapy can be much more efficient and easier,” Lewis says. “As collagen and elastin loss accelerates, your skin becomes less plump and firm, while the skin on your body appears crepey.” Other fun clues: slower wound healing, more irritable skin, and hands and feet that tend to crack. “The telltale sign is much drier skin that wrinkles easily,” says Jeanine Downie, MD, founder of Image Dermatology in New Jersey. It doesn’t actually happen overnight, but the effect of depleting estrogen levels-which contributes to up to 30 percent of dermal collagen lost during the first five years of menopause and decreases by an additional 2.1 percent every year after-is significant and rapidly noticeable. “Many studies have shown that women detect a swift commencement of skin-aging symptoms while entering menopause,” says Amy Lewis, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. If you feel like you woke up one day, looked in the mirror, and wondered what in the world happened to your skin, it may be one more thing you can blame on the Change. ![]() The user interface is a major difference between the two streaming players.

![]() Heuberger, a kinetic, grandiloquent man, speaks expansively about his mission. South Pole thus pioneered a model of carbon offsetting that has been counted among our best hopes for staving off climate catastrophe: a mechanism that diverts funds from polluters in wealthy countries to protect crucial ecosystems in the Global South. Leading corporations, including Volkswagen, Gucci, Nestlé, Porsche, and Delta Air Lines, paid South Pole nearly a hundred million dollars for Kariba credits, allowing them to market goods or services as “carbon neutral.” The Kariba project, spanning an area ten times the size of New York City, was among the world’s first “avoided deforestation” programs by deterring local people from chopping down trees, it promised to prevent the release of tens of millions of tons of greenhouse gas. ![]() Plan to spend your holidays with the people you love most and focusing on the real reason for the season.A decade earlier, South Pole had signed a deal to sell carbon offsets from an effort to protect a vast swath of forest on the banks of Lake Kariba, upriver from the camp. Keep the hustle and bustle under control. Don’t get caught up in the endless shopping and parties and meaningless stuff. They can be more enjoyable than a planned out event!Ĭhristmas is a wonderful time of year. We try and keep at least one weekend night free a week for impromptu get-togethers. ![]() Those are often the best times with the most lasting memories. We try and have friends over for dinner or dessert a few times during the month of December. There are times when I do love having the house full of friends, especially at Christmas. ![]() There is a lot to be said for being at home snuggling under a warm blanket with the family with no lights on except for the Christmas tree for an evening or two. Our family doesn’t go to every party we’re invited to or every fun activity going on when there is a blank spot on the calendar. We also make sure we have enough family downtime as well. We have a list of family traditions as well as a list of new things we might like to try. As a family, we decide what we want to spend our Christmas season doing and who we want to spend it with. Now that we have a cleaned out calendar, we can start adding in the Christmas programs and those holiday family traditions that we don’t want to miss. We scale back to the basics to make room for some Christmas fun. Usually, other groups we are involved with take the month off, but even if they don’t, we do. I don’t volunteer for anything except Christmas stuff with my family at church. Some of the kids lessons or classes or monthly outings get put on hold until after the new year. So, what do we do? We clear the calendar. When I look at our schedule for December, there is no room for any special holiday fun without making us crazy. We have lots of commitments and appointments filling up our calendars throughout the year and the Christmas season is no exception. Our family is no different from anyone else’s. So, each year my delima is this: With an already packed schedule, how do we enjoy all the festivities of Christmas without getting “busy” and losing sight of God’s greatest gift to us? As with almost everything else, I have a plan. But, I want to be careful that those things don’t over shadow what Christmas really is about – the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. I love decorating the house, driving around looking at Christmas lights, baking cookies, Christmas programs, holiday gatherings and all that stuff. I do enjoy all the special activities, events and traditions of Christmas. The “hustle and bustle” of this time of year is considered to be just part of it. |
