Long Overdue Fusing Plastic Bag Tutorial - StumbleUpon
I realized this afternoon that I basically explain this technique to an Etsy Labs visitor at least once a day, but had never put the instructions online. So, here it is. Fusing! Plastic! Bags! What you'll needPlastic bags (thin, flimsy ones work best)Parchment paper, freezer paper or plain old copier paperIron (and your favorite ironing surface) Making it Flatten out the bag and trim the bottom seam and handles off. Turn the bag inside-out if it has printing on it. Next, run a hot iron (we set ours to "Rayon", but you will need to experiment a little to see what works for you) and keep the iron moving constantly. Peel a corner of the paper back to see if the plastic is fused together. Peel the parchment paper away from the finished plastic sheet. Here are a few more rad examples of what you can do with this stuff, courtesy of Etsy seller Eclipse Alright, y'all.

Make A Cheap &Easy Solar USB Charger With An Altoids Tin : TreeHugger - StumbleUpon
Photos by Joshua Zimmerman The craftster behind the very popular $3 solar-powered emergency radio is back with a new awesome project: a cheap solar battery charger with a USB plug. Zimmerman wrote, saying that he saw a lot of small solar powered chargers being talked about over Earth Day, but there was a big problem: "They're all quite nice, but also quite expensive. So, he came up with his own, using one of our favorite reusable items -- the ever wonderful Altoids tin. In looking for the cheapest way to accomplish the task, Zimmerman found that he could build a USB solar charger for under $30 (or $10 if be buys parts in bulk, though it's not likely you'll be buying bulk solar cells and DC-to-USB converter circuits). Zimmerman states, "The central brain of our project is a DC to USB converter circuit. It can be done with a Minty Boost kit, a premade circuit off of ebay, or grabbing one from a cheap USB charger.
8 Steps To A Healthier Competitive Diet
The recommended daily intake of calories for a man in the UK is 2,500 calories per day and for a woman it’s 2,000. These figures are of course wholly unreliable when dealing with athletes or fitness competitors as the calorie deficit created by extreme exercise activities means that bodybuilders should be consuming more than our relatively sedentary office-dwelling counterparts. Why then is it that so many competitors are paying trainers to put them on diets that are sub-800 calories per day, are made up of white fish and rabbit food, and that give absolutely no consideration for the athletes long-term physical, mental or emotional well-being? Essentially, WHY ARE WE PAYING TO STARVE? The below is not a bible and it is not a fail safe, catch all guide, but it is aimed at raising awareness amongst competitors and those new to the sport. Wherever possible create a deficit through additional exercise and training as opposed to withholding food. For example: ketogenic diets.
