I want to buy one of the twoQuestion is, is the MGXTreme worth the $150 extra dollars? Is it any better performance wise!?
I think the only real major difference between the two is the weightthe MGX weighs 5.4 ounces, the MGXtreme weighs 4.9 ouncesPerformance wise? Uhthe MGX has 9 ball bearings and comes in two gear ratios; 7.1:1 and 7.9:1Both models hold 115 yards of 12 pound monoThe MGXtreme has 7 ball bearings and comes in one gear ratio; 7.1:1It too holds 115 yards of 12 pound monoThe MGX has a Infini II spool, Carbon Matrix drag system, aircraft-grade aluminum main gear, compact bent carbon handle, flat EVA knobs, titanium coated levelwind, and a recessed reel footThe MGXtreme has two additional Ceramilite spool bearings, one-piece X-Mag alloy frame, Carbon Matrix drag system, C6 Carbon sideplates, IVCB-4 centrifugal brake design, Infini II spool design, compact bent carbon handle, round EVA knobs,aircraft-grade aluminum main gearit also comes with a spare set of flat EVA knobsIs the MGXtreme worth the extra $150? The real question should be is the MGX even worth the $350 price tag.
I'm building a Christmas projectJust a small snowman with the bottom piece about 8 inches in diameterI want to put a candle in it but it will surely burn and eventually combustSo what materials could I line the interior of this piece so it wouldn't at least catch fire or leave any nasty smell.
Metal (probably foil or thicker sheeting -aluminum foil, or aluminum flashing as a cylinder perhaps)Glass (put the candle-a short votive perhaps- inside a large/tall glass vase, etc, inside the snowman) Ceramic (pottery or earthen clay that has been fired in a high-temp kiln-perhaps a ceramic bowl, vase, etc.) BUTwith any of those materials be aware that any area directly over the flame of the candle will get really hot and if you don't have a hole (or something that won't burn) there, the snowman will probably burn quite quickly above the flame and probably leave a lot of black soot tooYou could instead use a bunch of mini-xmas lights since they don't get very hot, perhaps even bunched up together, etc.
Flex hose to dryer won't stay on well?
Think about it like a pinwheel - wind going one way spins it that way, wind going the other spins it the oppositeIt would indeed spin in the opposite direction, but the viscosity of the water would keep it extremely slow.
im looking for a self defense stun weapon that can go on my key chain does anyone know were i can get one?
Tuna fish is a good one as long as you get it packed in water and not oilFor breakfast I eat like a fiber bar or a granola barI stay away from all of those protein or energy barsMost are high in calories or expensive or they taste badIf you're trying to lose weight you shouldn't be eating nuts anywayNuts are very high in fat.
Any good Vanilla Fudge resipies?
Vanilla Fudge 500g caster sugar 2 x 170g cans evaporated milk 4 tbsp milk Pinch of salt 100g butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing 1 vanilla pod, split 1Line a 20cm-square cake tin or similarly sized loaf tin with silver foil, extending the foil over the edges of the tinGrease the foil and set aside 2Put the sugar, milk, evaporated milk, and salt into a large panPlace the pan over a low heat and stir gently until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to the boil, without stirringOnce boiling, lower the heat and cook, stirring frequently to prevent the mixture sticking, for 30 minutes 3Remove the saucepan from heat and add the butter and vanilla pod but do not stirLet the mixture cool, without stirring, for about 15 minutes 4Remove the vanilla pod and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until it becomes thick and just starts to lose its gloss (this should take about 10 minutes) 5Pour the fudge into the prepared tin, leave for about 30 minutes, then score into 2.5cm squares while still warmLeave until cold (it will remain quite soft-textured), then use the foil to lift the fudge out of the panCut into squaresStore in an airtight container in the fridge.
I want to build a puppetI plan on making the head by buying a styrofoam head or ball and then putting clay on it, and molding the clay to match the features I wantWhat type of clay will be best? (I will not be putting it in oven, so it will have to be air-dry)Thank you.
Polymer clay will stick, unfortunately the foam shrinks when heated to bake the polymerYou might try a test run with Bondo, the epoxy material used to repair carsAnd actually, you might be better off making the head by carving soft wood - the traditional material.
I need to bake a 2-layer 10-inch cake, but I only have one 10-inch cake panWhat is the best way to go about this? One time I had to let the batter sit for 30 minutes, because I had discovered my milk had spoiled and had to get more at the storeIt turned out flat and denseI'm afraid that will happen to the second layer if I leave it waiting for the first, and I'm reluctant to do it by half because I thought I'd heard somewhere that some recipes don't divide wellIt is a feathery light chocolate cake that is leavened with baking powder, and you have to fold in 3 egg whitesIf I do the whole recipe, I think I'll at least hold off on whipping the whites until the minute I need them.Does anyone have any advice? Thanks everyone
It is pretty much impossible, considering your constrictionsHowever, if you PURPOSEFULLY make the two layers different, ie: add food coloring and some extra flavoring to the half that has to sit for a little (making sure to put it in the fridge-incidentally, cooling the batter may have been what made it more dense the first time) and using that layer as the bottom one, you can make a perfectly respectable cakeOtherwise? Using the cakepan as a form, create your own cakepan from aluminium foil (make sure you use a couple layers as you dont want this to collapse on you as you put it in the oven)Put the aluminium foil pan on a baking sheet to prevent it from collapsing once inside the ovenOr just go buy another cakepan.
aDetermine the oxidation numbers of each element in both the reactants and products of this oxidation-reduction reaction of aluminumbWhich element is oxidized, or loses electrons, in this reaction? cWhich element is reduced, or gains electrons, in this reaction? cant figure out, please explain!
2 Al(s) + 6H2O(g) - 2 Al(OH)3 + 3 H2 All pure elements like Al(s) and H2(g) have an oxidation number of zero O in a comp[ound like water has anoxidation number of -2, Therefore H is +1 Al(OH)3 Al in here has an oxidation number the same as its ion charge +3 The O and the H are the same as beforeSo what has changedAl went from 0 to +3 and H went from +1 to 0 So aluminum lost electrons that is oxidationand H gained electrons that is reduction The OA was H2O and the RA was Al(s)
