Crack Rock Steady/Squatters Paradise

Choking Victim, New York's own special breed of satanic, political, ska-punks bring a very unique sound and style to table. Crack Rock Steady is the record that started it all, the revenge of ska, the gutter edge of satiric punk. A combination of two classic seven-inches (Crack Rock Steady and Squatters Paradise) the disc documents the rise of Leftover Crack frontman Stza, drummer Sqwert and Bassist Alec from the gritty roots of the underground to fame as one of the most eccentric and honest bands to pick up instruments.
Customer Review: yeah n asdf4w8
a friend of mine told me something the other day... and it's so so true... "i love leftover crack...it's like...METAL SKA. but then there's choking victim...which is just SKA METAL." then i pointed out that they weren't really metal so much as they are really hard at times. but anyway... get this now. if you have mediocre generica - leftover crack then you're familiar with the song Born To Die...but this version isn't so...sparkly. it's really good though. so buy this.
Customer Review: Amazing
This is just raw, uncut, unreheresed, punk. All the songs are great. I don't see how anyone could not enjoy songs like "Choking Victim" & "Apple Pie & Police State". If you like Leftover Crack, and you are not sure whether to get this or not, just do it, you won't be dissapointed at all.

There are many ways to camp. And then, there are awesome ways to camp.

Ordinary campers pack their gear and take off for their campgrounds or state parks. Extraordinary campers, look, surf, research and plan exactly what they are taking with them. They pack their gear, but before they close their packs up, they go through the gear one more time for the perfect packing experience. And they prepare weeks in advance instead of packing the night before.

Here is what these campers look for:

• Items that do double duty (For example, a flying disk toy can also be used as a plate or a paper plate holder or a disk to gather water in).
• Items that have half the weight of their ordinary supplies. (For example, plastic utensils instead of heavy metal utensils. And in storms it is better to have plastic anyway).
• Ways to pack clothing and items so that they can fit more inside of their pack.
• Packs that are in pieces instead of a one piece pack.
• Good quality gear that is inexpensive.

Here are items and ideas that help campers have an easier time camping and also help campers carry less gear:

1. Large, lighter tents rather than family tents. Usually when you use family tents, the set-up is longer, and usually it takes two or three people to put the tent up, especially on a windy day. Instead of one enormous family tent, purchase a few smaller tents. You don't spend too much time inside the tents, so you can do with the smaller tents. You can let the children sleep inside one of the larger tents with you. You can manage that for a few nights.
2. Buckets, bins, containers and other items that hold smaller items. When you use buckets, bins and containers for inside of your tents, you can put all the smaller items inside one container. Then when you go to empty the tent, instead of making many trips back inside the tent for many smaller items, you just make one trip and take the bin out of the tent. This system cuts down on trips to the tent and cuts down on wear and tear on tents and zippers.
3. Flashlights, batteries and more batteries. Use solar-powered flashlights whenever possible. This is self-explanatory.
4. Hiking sticks. These are essential if you are hiking for a few days. Hiking sticks will take 20,000 pounds of pressure off of your knees on your average hiking trip. Now, there are special hiking sticks for photographers. They look exactly like a normal hiking stick except the top has a silver-color screw in it to hold the camera onto the top.
5. Food selection. If you are planning a short trip, consider using food that is already prepared. (You can bring raisens, bananas, fruits, and raw vegetables. You can bring popcorn, bread sticks, puffed rice and puffed millet. You can bring meat sticks and cheese sticks, and cans of tuna. None of these require refrigeration or preparation. Bring your vitamins along and you will do just fine on your trip.
6. Medications. If you are allergic to anything, remember to bring your allergy pills with you. If you have any other medical needs, bring everything that you need with you.
7. Electronics. Yes, electronics. If you have cellular phones or other gadgets that are for your safety, these are the things that you need to bring with you when you backpack. Bring a portable radio, preferably with solar batteries. You will need the radio to hear the weather reports. When you camp out in the forest or state parks, you need to know the forecasts so that you can be prepared to leave quickly if there are storms, tornadoes or hurricanes approaching.
8. Music. Bring mp3 players or music players to soothe everyone during the storm, and also these are good for nighttime if the campers are having trouble sleeping.

These are camping basics for a wonderful trip. I will write more articles on camping in the near future.

Side pullouts on fly maximize head and shoulder space. Factory sealed main floor seams.
Customer Review: Not for harsh weather.
I was looking for a tent to keep my dry in all conditions - my previous coleman tent leaked at the side seams, even with seam sealing. I taken this 4 trips, and set up and taken it down about 10 times. It is very easy to set up with just one person. It is well constructed. However, I was greatly disappointed when I camped on the Texas coast. The wind bent two poles. The rain blew in under the fly even though all vents were zipped shut. By morning I had significant amount of water in the tent, one pole had a 45 degree bend in it. I have camped in a cheap coleman tent that didn't get damaged in high winds...and other tents collapsed. Perhaps if I had guyed it down the poles would not have bent, but it would not have stopped the rain. Perhaps, I could have turned the tent in another direction and it would not have had so much water come in...but it was already pouring rain. I had sealed the seams prior to the trip. You could literally feel the water misting throughout the tent. Bottom line, not a tent for adverse conditions. I am switching to a REI Halfdome 4.
Customer Review: The last tent you may ever need.
I have owned one of these for 27 years and only now is it showing signs of wear. The zipper is wearing out and the shock cords have lost their elasticity. For a tent that is in use at least nine days a year that is amazing!

Different kinds of fibres are available now-a-days. These fibres are mainly divided into two categories natural and man made. They are also categorized by the generations as they were produced in the different years and known as first generation, second generation, third generation or fourth generation fibres.

History of man made fibres

The fibres generated first were the natural fibres. In this category cotton, wool, silk and all other animal and plant fibres are included. These fibres were introduced first 4000 years back but their uses were continued till 1940. All these fibres are known as first generation fibres. Very delicate handling is needed for these fibres. Fibres like silks and cottons have not good resistance against moths, wrinkles, wear and washings. So discovery of durable fibres was a greater need and about one century ago first synthesized fibres Rayon/Nylon were produced. These fibres are cheaper in comparison with natural ones. The development of these new fibres opened up fibre application to the various fields like medicine, aeronautics, home furnishing and modern apparels. Fibre engineers produced many new fibres by combining new synthetic fibres with the natural ones.

In the year 1664 the first attempt was done to make artificial fibre, but success was achieved after 200 years only. A Swiss chemist Audemars first patented artificial fibre in England in 1855. He produced that by dissolving the fibrous inner bark of the mulberry tree and produced cellulose by modifying it chemically. He made threads from the solution by dripping needle in the solution and then drawing them out. His attempt was good but he could not copy the silkworm. He had done experiments with the solution similar to Audemars solution.

French chemist Hilaire de Chardonnet was the first one to produce artificial silk commercially in the year 1889. Later on he was known as father of rayon industry because he was the first to produce rayon commercially on large scales.

All the attempts of producing artificial silk failed till the year 1900 but in the year 1910 Samuel Courtaulds and Co. Ltd, formed the American Viscose Company and did production of rayon.

Arthur D. Little of Boston made a film from acetate which is a cellulosic product in the year 1983 and in the year 1910 Henry Dreyfus and Camille made toilet articles and motion picture film from acetate in Switzerland. In the year 1924 Celanese Company made fibre from the acetate and it was the very first use of acetate in the textile industry. At that time the demand of rayon was high because it was available on the half of the price than raw silk to the textile manufacturers so U.S. rayon production flourished to meet those higher demands.

About Nylon

The miracle fibre called Nylon was invented in the September 1931 at the research laboratory of DuPont Company. They saw giant molecules of these polymers when they were working on Nylon '66' and Nylon '6'.

Nylon is completely synthetic fibre obtained from petrochemicals and is very different from Rayon and Acetate which are made up of cellulosic material of plants. The discovery of Nylon started a new era of manufactured fibres.

A change in life style

In the year 1939 commercial production of nylon was started by DuPont. In the very beginning on the experimental basis they used nylon in parachute fabric, in women's hosiery and in sewing thread. Nylon stockings were firstly visible to the public at the San Francisco Exposition in February 1939.

At the times of war, Asian silk was replaced by nylon in parachutes. The other uses of Nylon are in military supplies, ponchos, tyres, ropes, tents and in the high grade paper to make U.S. currency. At the time of war cotton was the most commonly used fibre and its uses were more then 80% than any other fibres. Another 20% is shared by wool and other manufactured fibres. August 1945 was the time of ending of war, at that time cotton shares 75% of the fibre market and rise of 15% was seen in the market of manufactured fibres.

Columbia Hawk Ridge 10- by 7- Foot Three-Person Dome Tent

Columbia Sportswear Company was founded in 1938. Columbia Sportswear Company began as a small family-owned distributorship and today Columbia is one of the world's largest outerwear companies. The history begins with Paul and Marie Lamfrom. They fled from Germany and settled in Portland, Oregon. Paul and Marie opened up a hat distributorship and named their company the Columbia Hat Company. They took the name from the nearby Columbia River. Today, their 82 year old daughter, Gert, is the Chairman of the Board and her son, Tim Boyle is President and Chief Executive Officer. Columbia Sportswear Company has a wide-range of stylish, and functional products to choose from. Columbia is famous for their Interchange System. This concept was developed in 1982 and made Columbia a leader in the outerwear industry. Columbia first started with an interchange jacket which was made for hunting and featured a weatherproof outershell with an insulating inner jacket that could be worn together or separately, thus making each parka three or four garments in one. Because of the popularity of this garment, Columbia applied the same concept to a ski parka and called it the Bugaboo™. The Bugaboo became one of the best-selling ski jackets in history. In 1991, Columbia developed a waterproof, breathable coating Omni-Tech which makes it now the second-largest user of waterproof, breathable fabric in the world.
Customer Review: Wrong product description
The product description section contains the description of the company and how it is founded. I would have agreed about this irrelevant description of it would have been a third party seller. However, its sold and shipped by Amazon. So amazon should correct this.

There are a lot of plants that you will want to avoid when it comes to camping. You will want to know when you are near poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. You will find that these plants are very painful rashes that will make you itch.

When it comes to the poison ivy you will find that it is the most commonly found dangerous plant in America. You will find that it can grow into four feet scrubs and is commonly a ground cover. It is rarely found in elevation in 5,000 or above, but you will find that it grows in most places that people camp. You will want to keep in mind that when it comes to leaves of there, let it be. This is a clear and common sign of poison ivy. You will also find that it can be a dull green or even purplish.

Another common plant to avoid is poison oak. When it comes to poison oak, you will find that it has some multi-lobed leaves, but it can also have fuzzy, fruit-like branches. The leaves are mostly scalloped around the edges, but it can also be wrinkled, rather than smooth like poison ivy. The leaves will grow in threes, but it is more common to see plants with five or more leaves. Usually, the poison oak will go in sandy solid and range from places from New Jersey down the eastern coast to Florida, but it could also go to places as Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. A to keep in mind is that poison ivy is the most common poison plant in the east, but it is poison oak that is in the western states and more in the south.

As for poison sumac, you will find that it is the least widespread plant, and it really isnt in many places, but the swamp areas and peat bogs. You will find that the leaves of this plant is bluish-green with the red tips. You will find that there are cream colored berries on this plant and it is just as toxic as poison oak and poison ivy. You will want to keep in mind that there are oils in this plant that will spread quickly and it will spread to other people through casual contact. Remember that if you get into trouble then there are no cheap flights to Alicante available in the great outdoors. So prepare well in advance for all the eventualities.
