Where can I purchase a beautiful, gray line, wall clock gift that depicts the daylight and night on the earth?

I saw one in a doctor’s office a long time ago, hanging on the wall. It was beautiful and in real time. No one in the office knew where it was purchased. All I can find online are downloads or websites showing the gray line on the earth’s map. I have searched almost everywhere – EBay, Amazon, open google searches and so on. I’ve checked out Ham radio sources to no avail. Anyone know or have a used one they might sell? Thanks!

Is this the one that shows a backlite mape of the world, with the areas in sunlight bright and those not in dark?

I’ve always liked this one (if it’s the same one you have in mind) but I priced one once and it was very expensive. See link.

Creating A Safe Room In Your Home

Interested in creating a safe room? While having a full fledged safe room built can be an expensive and difficult process, turning one of the existing rooms of your house into something that will serve essentially the same function is actually pretty simple to do. With a few supplies and a good plan, you can use an existing room in your house as a functional safe room for emergency situations.

Choosing Your Room

One of the first things to consider when choosing a safe room is which room you want to use. Look for an interior room of your home that is quick and easy for anyone in the house to reach. Frequently the best option is either a bathroom or walk in closet. If you don’t have an interior room available, look for an exterior bathroom or closet with either no windows or one small window and work with that.

Making It Safe

To turn your room into a safe room, the first thing to do is replace your door with one that has a solid core. A cheap door that is easy to kick through will not be able to protect you and your family from much of anything. Installing a solid core door with strong hinges and a good lock is frequently all you need to do to keep an intruder at bay until you call the police. For a lock, a sliding bolt on the inside will work best, but only if you don’t have children young enough that locking themselves in may be a danger. In that case, get the best lock you can find that can be unlocked from either side with your key in case of a child emergency.

Communication

The most important thing for any safe room to have is a method to communicate with authorities in case of an emergency. A cell phone will work fine as long as you make sure it is always charged and can get a signal inside the room. If you know how to use one, something like a CB or Ham radio makes a great choice. If your room has power outlets, make sure you keep the power cord or charger for whatever you are using available as well. If not, an extra battery is always a good idea.

Other Equipment

If your room does not have running water, make sure you store about a gallon of water per person. Make sure any first aid supplies your family may need are accessible in the panic room, and keep at least a day of any important medication available if it isn’t already being stored in a medicine cabinet in the room. Items like a battery operated radio and flashlight plus extra batteries can be great to have in an emergency, as well as something like books to keep everyone entertained through a long wait.

The government suggests keeping duct tape and plastic on hand for sealing off air vents and windows in case of a chemical weapons attack as well. If you do end up sealing off the room, keep in mind that you can only stay in a sealed room for about 5 hours per square foot before the air becomes dangerous. Usually, the wind will blow away any potential threat long before that much time has elapsed.

.22lr caliber snap caps?

I recently got a high-end .22lr match rifle, and it’s a lot heavier than I’m used to so I wanted to practice my positions and aiming at home. It’s a pretty expensive rifle so I do not want to dry-fire and am hesitant to use empty shells, but I cannot find any metal .22lr snap caps. They only ones I can find are the cheap plastic ones and dummy rounds that say “Not for use in dry-firing”. Does anyone know of a website that has METAL .22lr snap caps.

I have some .22/.17 caliber plastic snap caps. They are made for dry firing. They are made by Traditions Performance Firearms. They cost about $5 for 12. I haven’t seen metal ones like the A-Zooms but the plastic ones do work.

Dummies Guide To Yin and Yang

Origins of Yin and Yang – The origin of the Yin and Yang can be traced back to 1000 BCE. Depictions of Yin and Yang symbols have been found on oracle bones or skeletons of animals used in Chinese ritual dating from this era.

Yin and Yang Concepts – The concept of Yin and Yang describes two opposing and, at the same time, complementary and completing aspects of any one phenomenon, be it object or process, or comparison of any two phenomena.Yin and Yang are universal quality standards of the systems of correspondence seen in most branches of classical Chinese science,philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine.

Yin Qualities – Yin qualities are characterized as soft, slowness, substantial, water, cold, conserving, tranquil, gentle, and corresponds to the night.

Yang Qualities – Yang qualities are characterized as hot, fire, restless, hard, dry, excitement, non-substantial, rapidity, and corresponds to the day.

Yin and Yang in Chinese Medicine – The idea of Yin and Yang is one of the many principles that are at the root of Chinese medicine and it is functioning. This particular method was applied through Taoism, one of the religious practices in the Orient. From this philosophy, the Chinese discovered that the laws of the universe could be applied to each individual in order to gain optimum health.

The idea of Yin and Yang incorporates five major ideas that are then used in order to help one gain the best of health. The first of these is opposition. This means that everything and everyone has two polar opposites. When one is balanced, both of these are controlling each other. This opposition is essential to one being able to exist in the universe.

Not only is this opposition essential for existence, but it is also what allows one to be healthy. By balancing out these two opposites, one is able to nourish them as well as grow into new understanding and balance. However, even if these are not balanced, there is still a little of one side into the other making the idea of Yin and Yang interchangeable.

When one applies these particular philosophies to health, they can find that they are able to use the principles to help with health. With each side of your body is another side that is the polar opposite. A good example is your abdomen, which needs your back in order to remain balanced. By focusing on both sides, you will be able to gain balance, energy and a holistic approach to your life.

The idea of Chinese medicine is one that does not just record symptoms through a scientific perspective.It takes into account the dark and light sides of everyone. By learning how to apply the principles of Yin and Yang to every part of your health, there is the ability to learn to exist with a new balance.
