Long lasting outdoor cushions

We buy outdoor cushions every other year or so, over a period of five of six years, you can spend a small fortune. Make sure you purchase the best to start with and save money in the long run. Best fabric is Sunbrella this fabric is not only the best to buy (will keep its looks bright for years to come) they gurantee their fabric for five years! Who does that right. Also the best insert in ez-dri. the water will run right thru it. It willnot retain water. They use this insert on boats. Just so you know.

I bought the rangefinder to help improve my golf game


The Bushnell V2 tour rangefinder is very easy to use compared to a GPS device. The V2 is always ready to use ,no matter what golf course you go to. The ranagefinder gives you the distance to your target in a instant. A GPS device may take few seconds to count down the distance to the target.The only thing I dislike about the V2, it is hard to get a distance over 250 yards to a pin or flag on a calm day.

Ironic since they were quite expensive at well over $1000.00 only a handful of years ago


I just started working on this machine this weekend. I had purchased a copy of XP Tablet on eBay but try as I would it would not install. I updated the BIOS and tweaked it and did everything I could but would still get the Blue Screen of Death when the computer went to reboot for the first time during installation. (remember, by the way, no CD drive on this machine. I used a USB drive with no problems).

Finally I tried a copy of XP I had from an old computer and it installed perfectly. So I don't know what the issue was, except that the XP Tablet edition I had was originally for an HP tablet not a Thinkpad. Who knows, but something was missing or wrong. Anyway the regular XP Professional installed fine.

Now I am going through the inevitable process of downloading drivers and getting everything working. So far I am about 60% done. The drivers are out there it just takes a while. I recommend a company called Driver Agent as a huge help. There is a small annual subscription but it is not a lot, and they search your machine and figure out which drivers are missing or bad and supply them for download. They are not perfect but a lot easier on the odd ball stuff. Oh and of course I have run Windows Update about a hundred times...

My machine is SLOW with only 512mb of RAM. I will be adding more. Also these resale units typically are missing stuff. Mine had the hard disk and caddy which I was told may not come with it, but no charger or battery, also no stylus pen. The batteries are out there for a few bucks. For the charger I am using a universal laptop charger. Oh and the hard disk is NOT a standard laptop disk but smaller in size. And a little slower. But they are out there on eBay also if you need one.

I have not tested the tablet functionality but once all the drivers are installed it will be fun...we are multi computer house so this is not an urgent project for me, more for fun. It is a really nice compact laptop bigger than a netbook but nice size. Not cutting edge but the current Lenovo version is $1400.00 I think!

The clubs have a great feel to them even on mishits

I had a TaylorMade Burner which has a closed face and draw bias. The closed face (2deg?) helped with the slice but if I came over the stop, strong, I snap it in the trees.
The Str8-Fit has a nice visual set up when set to N or even 1 degree closed. Visually, the Str8-Fit can suit the person who likes a square/open/closed looking club.
The technology does work. Fighting a slice at the range with a neutral set up, I changed the club head to closed 1 degree/1 flat. This changed the ball flight to a slight fade. By the end of the range session, the ball was going straight, even a trailing draw (my swing plane definitely improved).
And the club is long. The TaylorMade is very long also but the Str8-fit is as long and more consistent. I was fitted at a local golf shop for shaft flex and loft. And also shaft weight. Each shaft weight has a different kick point. The store employee recommended a 9.5 and mid-weight/medium ball flight shaft, because my ball flight is slightly high in the neutral position and will get higher when set to closed. Getting fitted is definitely worth it.
The sound may be the only drawback. And this is nitpicking. It's on the loud side but not as load as a Cobra. The Burner has a nicer "smack" in my opinion.
All in all, I couldn't be happier with the Str8-Fit.

great camera I really like

I was slightly disappointed when I heard the Canon squeal, but I had sort of expected it at a camera of this age, and had already made preparations to remedy this myself. Once the mirror lockup mechanism had been re-lubed I popped in a roll of film, went outside and took some shots. After an hour at the local drugstore I could see that there was a small light leak where the original light seals had turned into a black goo, but overall the shutter speeds were still accurate, and the lens was as sharp as the day it was made. After replacing the light seals I ended up with a camera that rekindled my love for film, and has now had a good 40, 50 rolls of film put through it. I couldn't be happier, and have since added a couple of additional FD lenses to compliment this great body.

The camera handles ISO speeds from 25 through 3200, and functions as a shutter-priority camera if the lens aperture dial is turned to "A" (set the shutter speed on the camera and the camera will automatically choose the aperture based on the meter's readings.) It's easy to load, the advance lever is smooth, and the 50mm lens is a great lens to get your feet wet with if you're interested in dipping your feet in the film photography pool. A highly recommended camera for anyone looking for a great entry-level 35mm film camera.

There are two things to look out for when buying an AE-1, and I touched on them above: The infamous "Canon squeal" is a loud squeaking noise that is being generated by the SLR's mirror mechanism. To put it simply, it needs lubrication, and there are instructions on how to do this online (if you can read German), but if the thought of poking the inside of your brand new eBay purchase with a thin hypodermic and a syringe of sewing machine oil makes you break out in a cold sweat most camera technicians can carry this operation out for under $100, as well as give it a good cleaning and checking of the shutter speeds, commonly known as a CLA (clean, lube, adjust).
The second thing you should investigate is the condition of the light seals. This is a film camera, and film is light-sensitive, so if the back of your camera lets in light your shots could very easily be ruined. The seals Canon used on these cameras will have turned to sludge after 30 years, so you're better off replacing them right from the get-go. A fellow named Interslice offers easy to use replacement light seal kits here on eBay for around $10, I replaced my AE-1's seals with one of his kits, and it's a very simple operation, as in "if I can do it so can you".

Male pattern baldness is cause in majority of men by Androgenic or Androgenetic Alopecia

and bald patch area on top of head (vertex). The cause for such specific Alopecia in men has been discovered to be directly connected to high levels of a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone, DHT. Procerin has effectively worked on a majority of individuals with DHT related causes. With active ingredients placed in body, the transformation from testosterone into DHT does not take place; hence lowering the DHT levels present in system that cause male hair loss.

Among the main ingredients found in Procerin hair loss supplements are: Saw Palmetto Berries, Gotu Kola, Nettles, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin B-6, Pumpkin Seed Meal, and Muira Puma Root.

And the ingredients contained in Procerin XT serum topical solution are: Gamma Linolenic Acid, Grape Seed Extract, Saw Palmetto Extract, and Avocado Oil.

All natural ingredients found in Procerin obey with FDA’s GRAS safety requirements.

Procerin natural hair loss vitamins or supplements (tablets) should be combined with Procerin XT serum topical solution (liquid) to be applied on head. By combining these two choices (internal and external) of hair loss treatments, you increase the success rate. In other words, by taking both Procerin hair loss supplements and applying its serum topical hair loss solution, one can achieve faster results in less time.

Procerin hair growth vitamins, after taken orally and digested by system, supply the body with essential nutrients, minerals, and elements, to fight against male hair loss. By obtaining the optimum ambience, Procerin can help you retain your present hair, while assisting in the hair growing process as well.

The appropriate dosage for Procerin is to take two tablets a day; one in the morning and one at night.
