![]() Each kind and each make has its friends and nearly all are fairly successful.” “While the names and makers of these machines are numerous, they are divided into two general classes, those warmed by hot air, and those warmed by radiation from a tank of hot water, the heat being supplied in both cases by a lamp flame or a gas jet, a very few are still made that are heated by drawing off the coolest water from a tank and pouring in hot water as required. (See Historical Henhouse in the January/February 2018 issue for more about Biggle and his farming books.) “The modern man-made hatcher, the incubator, is largely used for winter hatching when hens rarely become broody, and also for hatching on a larger scale than is convenient with the natural mother,” he wrote. Jacob Biggle espoused mechanical and natural incubation in The Biggle Poultry Book (1919). Finally, Wilcoxson believed that chicks might be reared quicker and better developed when there is no hen to interfere. ![]() Incubator chicks, according to Wilcoxson, are more tame and tractable than chicks hatched by hens.An incubator will hatch a large number of chicks, which can be brooded together in large lots, easing the overall cost to the small farmer.“It is absolute proof against cannibalism.” It never leaves the eggs, tramples them, refuses to sit where you place it, throws any eggs out or kills any chicks when they are hatched.“You do not have to wait for it to become broody, nor to waste time and eggs in finding out whether it is broody enough.” She laid out several reasons why they were appropriate, many of which still ring true today: “Anyone who has had much experience with sitting hens will readily appreciate the advantage of incubators in place of hens,” she wrote. Others, such as Myrtle Wilcoxson, author of Common Sense on Poultry Raising (1906), liked incubators very much. Norys didn’t have an issue with incubators used in the commercial poultry industry but believed they had no use on a family farm at the time. ![]() “When incubator makers, and the itching for experiment, together tempt the child of tender years, and the woman of 75, into raising machine-made chicks, it is time for someone to call a halt,” she wrote. Myra Norys wrote in Pocket-money Poultry (1901) that the rage for artificial incubation was getting to be almost equal to the rage for bicycles and worse among women. However, not all poultry keepers liked these artificial hens. ![]() Cyphers marketed smaller, farm-size incubators, too. In Buffalo, New York, in 1896, Charles Cyphers invented a large-capacity, room-type commercial incubator capable of hatching 20,000 duck eggs he also patented a lamp-heated, multilevel brooder that could brood 300 ducklings or chicks. The first American incubator was invented in 1844 it and competitors that soon followed hatched up to 360 chicks per batch. The Chinese were artificially hatching eggs around 250 B.C. The ancient Egyptians hatched eggs in mud-brick huts at least 3,000 years ago. Artificial incubation of eggs is nothing new. ![]()

![]() ![]() Just to check, could the issue be that you are working close to minimum focus distance Try AF in Focus Magnifier. The lens is very sharp at f1.4 improves slightly at f2, and from then on you just get increased depth of field. The known focus issue on 30/1.4 with AF-S when stopped down a bit does not apply when the lens is used at f1.4 wide open - I’ve always found it to be accurate at f1.4. Unfortunately, it's a very expensive lens, but you get what you pay for. I did think about the Sigma 30mm f1.4, but decided to go for the Summilux. Although the 30mm f1.4 should be superior to the 28mm f1.8 because it's designed for crop sensor cameras and has a reduced image circle, the 28mm proved to be very good.įor my Oly system I eventually bought the Leica/Panasonic 25mm f1.4 Summilux. Some months later I bought a Sigma 28mm f1.8 as my fast 'standard' prime lens for the SD-14, and that proved to be very good focuses perfectly. The lens focuses by extending the front inner section, but that doesnt add to the overall length, see pictures above. I spoke to Sigma, who recommended I send in my lens and body, but I didn't want to do that the body already focused correctly with my Sigma 17-70, and I was worried it might not do so when it was returned after adjustment. Its a manual focus lens, which means its coming in Canon RF mount as well as Canon EF-M, Fuji X, Nikon Z, Sony E and Micro Four Thirds. Tried the replacement lens on a different body, and it was as bad as mine. The Sigma has a tough time focusing in low light. I have the 43 limited and think the 43 is a much better lens in terms of quality. DX(Crop sensor) -AF if Camera body has focusing motor -Manual otherwise. ![]() I had severe back focus problems with a Sigma 30mm f1.4 on a Sigma SD-14 body, and a replacement lens was exactly the same. The Sigma 30 1.4 is my most used lens, not particularly because of the quality but 30mm works for me. Sigma 30mm 1.4 M4/3 MFT mount with box No lens hood no issues slight whitening. Keep in mind that focusing with it is a bit tricky - limited depth of field means that 'close' is often not close enough, it will take some practice to use propery. My second copy works just fine, it's one of my favorite lenses - nice and bright and fast focusing. Warranty wise, you still get a 1 year international warranty - but if you bought the lens in Canada you'd get 5 years.īecause of the issue of exchanging and the added warranty I'd suggest you try and find a local place to buy - even if you have to pay 50 bucks more, makes it much easier to test and replace and gets you 4 additional years of warranty. Had to pay the tax/duties again then apply to get them refunded - which I did with no problem (B&H marked the reciept 'replacement copy - taxes already paid' or some such message). Sent the lens back to B&H, they sent me a replacement. Repeating the same test with my 14-54, I had no problems focusing on the correct spot. Focus sensor pointing right at the 6 inch mark, the first lens would 'lock focus' at the 5 inch mark. The 'formal' test I did was to focus on a tape measure lying at an angle on the table. bought the 30mm f 1.4 from B&H (I'm in Canada). ![]() ![]() Invoice must have eligible tire name and proof of purchase on Goodyear Credit Card (when applicable) clearly indicated.

As you sprinkle the bud, keep the filling in a thin and straight line. Start grinding one half to three-quarters of the usual amount of bud that you smoke. Your best bet is a single wide paper measuring about 1 ¼ inch. Get some paper that is not wider than 1 ½ inch. A pinner is a thin joint that contains fewer amounts of cannabis. If you want something lighter, consider the pinner. ![]() Make sure the glue strip is away from your direction. Get some of your spare paper and cover the ends. Get some heavy cardstock and lock the open ends. What you want to achieve is a look that resembles that of hair braiding. Twist them all together until you combine the three joints. Do so until you leave about ¼ of an inch empty. Now get a pencil and poke down the bud at one end of each joint. You want to make the joints pliable enough to manipulate without the risk of breaking them. Make sure the joints are open on both ends. Now roll-up three joints that are fairly loose and filter-free. Check out these three creative joints that will add more fun in the experience: The Braidĭo you think braiding only works on long hair? Take out the paper of your choice and pick a width of your preference. If you are an avid smoker who wants to level up your joint-rolling, you can inject some creativity in the process. Keep in mind that the tighter you roll, the smoother and slower the burn will be. Now seal the deal by licking the glue strip and sticking it down. Your crutch should serve as your support.Īfter tucking the entire flap, continue rolling. You need to eliminate any slack to ensure a tight roll.įor beginners, you can use both of your thumbs to tuck the paper’s first inch. When tucking the joint, you need to let the crutch initiate the process. Take your time in this step.Īfter reaching a perfectly cylindrical shape, you can now seal the joint. In case the bud doesn’t hold its cylindrical shape on its own, continue with the rolling and compressing. Continue doing so until you shape the bud into a straight cylinder. Move the paper back and forth between your fingers. Most beginners may find the rolling process a tricky one. Practice patience until you reach that perfect balance. You want to evenly distribute the cannabis across the rice or hemp paper. Your goal is to move the cannabis around. If you want to attain precision, you may consider using a small weighing scale. The ideal amount for a single joint is around half a ground. Since you are using a crutch, place the cannabis at the other end of the joint. Now fill your joint with your freshly-grinded cannabis. The crutch will allow you to enjoy your joint from end to end. You can also use this after the rolling process. This is a glass or wooden mouthpiece that helps you come up with a perfect cylinder. One of the worst experiences you may encounter is smoking a joint with a soggy end. This will yield a smoother and consistent result. If you are using a grinder, go for the metal type. The key is to grind your cannabis evenly. For beginners, it is best to experiment to find out which method you are most comfortable with. You have two options for grinding: a grinder or your finger. Grind It RightĪfter selecting the rolling paper, you can now start grinding your cannabis. ![]() It is also the top option for rollers who want something flavorless. If you are a veteran smoker and you want something that burns slowly, go for rice paper. It is easier to roll and it burns quite well. If you are a beginner, go for hemp paper. There is wood pulp, rice, and hemp.Īmong the three, it is the wood pulp that you must avoid. Generally, there are three types of rolling paper materials out there. The paper that you choose is crucial when it comes to the quality of your joint. Here are the key steps that will guide beginners and veterans on how to roll the perfect joint. You need to do your part when it comes to prepping your joint. Though ordering from a cannabis store in Downtown Las Vegas is as easy as a few clicks, you still need to put in some work. This involves using the right elements and preparing them for rolling. Rolling a Joint and Doing It Rightīefore enjoying a joint, you will first go through a process. So what are these considerations for rolling a joint? Continue reading below and learn the essentials, regardless if you are a newbie or a veteran. There are key factors that influence the burning rate of your joint. There are certain steps that both beginners and advanced smokers need to consider. Though you may consider smoking weed as mainstream, not everyone who smokes knows how to roll a joint properly. Looking to roll a joint for the first time?

![]() Recognizing that as the last of the World War II veterans are passing, their heirs are often saddled with determining the disposition of the accumulation more than 70 years since their family member returned from the war. Scarcity due to production, handling, transportation and storage are only part of the story to consider. Locating and acquiring a military scorecard, scorebook or program in excellent or better condition is next to impossible solely based on the the aforementioned factors. ![]() ![]() Due to these factors, the surviving military items are far outnumbered by their wartime major and minor league counterparts. There is a notable difference in the quality of paper used by professional teams and the very rudimentary medium used to produce the service team pieces, especially for those printed in the overseas theaters. Survivability of military baseball ephemera (just as with those from the professional game) can vary dependent upon a few factors such as paper quality, modes of transporting the pieces home or just general handling (folding or being stuffed into a pocket). In contrast, the pieces printed for a military game would number in the hundreds at best, resulting in far fewer surviving examples. Despite these production factors, the sheer numbers of those individual-game scorecards that were printed increase the odds of having more surviving pieces to collect. By WWII, teams employed the practice of limiting printing runs to a handful of editions throughout the season (changing only the actual scoresheets and specific rosters pages inside the booklets to reflect the current visitors and lineups). One would have to assume that scorecards and programs printed for each game numbered in the range 30-50% of the capacity for each game, if not more. During the 1940s major league ballparks had seating capacities that ranged from the mid-30,000s in the smaller markets to 57,000 for the crown jewel of the big leagues, Yankee Stadium. In terms of scarcity or rarity of items, those that were distributed at a major league game are of the most common by comparison to items distributed at a wartime service league or exhibition game. Just as most parents can’t choose a favorite among their own children, none of the scorecards, programs or scorebooks within our collection receives such prized status, though there are some genuine stand-outs among the pack.Ĭollecting historic baseball military ephemera is far more rewarding than similar pieces from the professional game (or, at least that is our admittedly biased opinion). In that span of time, three separate Chevrons and Diamonds articles have documented some of our recent acquisitions of noteworthy scorecards or programs originating from rather historic service team games that were played during World War II. That's a matter of a small sample as much as anything, but it was also a nice bit of course correction.Taking stock of the past three months’ worth of Chevrons and Diamonds articles, it is easy to discern a few emerging content trends that reflect the types of artifacts that are continually being added to our collection. Previously, Lester's teams had been 0-2 in elimination games in which he started - the 2014 Athletics and the 2008 Red Sox. Yet, unbelievably, Game 5 marked the first time Lester had won an elimination game. Lester then became the first National League starter to strike out the first three batters in a World Series game since John Smoltz in 1996, per the Fox broadcast. Those numbers made him one of the better postseason performers of his generation. He entered Sunday's game with a career 2.60 ERA and 3.60 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 20 career playoff appearances (18 of which were starts). Speaking of Lester, he only added to his postseason mystique.
