Why You Should Make the Fishing Village Your New Watering Hole
In some ways, Greenport could be considered the Brooklyn of the North Fork, with a hip and casual restaurant scene, eclectic vintage stores, and a surrounding landscape of vineyards that keep the ambiance cooler and calmer than neighboring scenes in the Hamptons. As to be expected, then, is its buzzing bar scene, which foregoes any fancy beach-lounge getup for more handcrafted, creative atmospheres, focused on what’s grown, distilled, aged, and brewed locally. Here are four bars worth a quick trip from the Hamptons, or even the two-hour Long Island Rail Road ride from Manhattan.
Brix & Rye (308A Main St., Greenport)
Look for an antique mailbox and sand- covered shuffleboard table behind the glass windows in lieu of a sign marking Brix & Rye, then head down the stairs to the dimly lit speakeasy-style bar where some of the North Fork’s best mixology holds court. Divided into ‘shaken’ and ‘stirred’ and constantly changing based on available ingredients, the cocktail menu is full of modern renditions of traditional recipes, such as Negronis made of sherry, aquavit and Cynar and aged in a whiskey barrel; whiskey sours doused with red wine; or a summery version of a boulevardier that trades the red vermouth for spicy ginger, lemon and soda. Bartenders are also willing to improvise on the spot based on your palate, and a small menu of excellent Italian appetizers – burrata, salads and wood-fired pizzas – solidifies its position as the type of bar that will keep you in its seats all night.
The Halyard (58775 County Rd 48, Greenport)On the grounds of Sound View – a charming hotel with modern nautical style, viewsover the Long Island Sound, and activities such as biodynamic farm tours and vineyard walks – The Halyard accordingly maintains a menu that can best be described as quirky-luxe: Russian Osetra caviar scrambled eggs, seared foie gras and Hamachi sashimi on the same plate, summer truffles shaved atop scallops, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. It’s fitting, then, that Manhattan’s Death & Co. cocktail bar – equal parts Wes Andersen and Gotham City style-wise and considered to be one of the world’s best bars – installed itself here this summer for a temporary residency. A limited, beach-inspired version of its menu includes about one cocktail made from each type of liquor, pouring only the finest quality booze. There’s the Radio Flyer of Monkey Shoulder Scotch, Aperol, watermelon, lime, and chili; the Beach House of gin, green chile vodka, and absinthe mixed with banana and lime; and the Palm Dreams, a rum punch with two types of rum, kalamansi and lime, lightly sweetened with honey.
Greenport Harbor Brewing (234 Carpenter St., Greenport; 42155 Main Rd., Peconic)
Now more than a decade old, Greenport Harbor Brewing is widely regarded as one of Long Island’s best breweries, having grown from producing small-batch beers in a renovated firehouse to now having a second location with a full beer garden and restaurant in Peconic. Despite its success, it still remains focused on remaining regional, with its brews sold on shelves and taps only in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. But a trip to its original tap room in the small Greenport fishing town is still worth it for the freshest batches of its seasonal beers. For summer, look to the Otherside IPA, made with three types of West Coast hops; the crisp and citrusy Light Work Ale; and the Lucha Lager made with flaked maize and New York malts, and detailed with sea salt and key lime. If you wish to set your drinking experience to live music, head to the Peconic location instead.
The Lin Beach House (455 NY-25, Greenport)
Concluding what is now a trio of hotel bars to visit in Greenport is The Lin Beach House. Opened in 2018 in a beautiful old Victorian manse, redesigned by a group of young artists and investors, the five-room hotel glows with inspirations from around the world, from Bali to Scandinavia, mixing the old and the new, the bohemian and the contemporary. The black-top bar is lined with only a few high stools, keeping the crowd inherently small and intimate, and drinks come as fine wines from small producers and beautiful cocktails made with spirits from bespoke distillery Matchbook Distilling Co., also a project from the same group. The menu is constantly changing, but always remains full of delightful surprises; the Sunset, for instance, was once a botanical gin martini rinsed with ginger and olive oil, while a blood orange aperitivo stands perfectly alone over ice. For a romantic date, a long conversation, or simply some time alone with a drink and good book, the Lin boasts the type of hotel bar that will lift you out of time and space, washing all of your problems away with soft light, discrete service, and a perfect dream of a drink.

Ngila Dickson, ONZM, has designed costumes for vampires, university professors, fertility cults, and wizards in pointy hats. And that's only counting the work she has done for Kiwi filmmakers. Since sharing an Academy Award and a BAFTA for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Dickson has contributed her costume prowess to movies in Japan, Germany, South Africa and Los Angeles.
John Knowles has held many leadership roles in broadcasting, and worked around the world. Ask Knowles to name his highlight and he’s very clear — being TVNZ's Head of Sport at precisely the right time. In 1979 he was one of the only television reporters to visit Antartica, to report on the Mount Erebus disaster.
Welsh-born James Harris played an important role in the founding of the National Film Unit in 1941. A well-educated, versatile filmmaker equally at home behind the camera, operating a splicer or wielding a pen, he spent 26 years with the NFU, mostly as a senior director. Photo credit: Archives New Zealand, reference AAQT 6401 A23,729
Geoff Steven's career spans documentary, experimental film and photography. In 1978, he directed acclaimed feature Skin Deep, the first major investment by the newly established NZ Film Commission. Steven followed it with Strata and a long run of documentaries, before time as a TV executive at both TV3 and TVNZ. He now heads the Our Place World Heritage Project.
Graeme Wilson began working in New Zealand television in the 1960s. Later he was one of the very first members of TVNZ's Natural History Unit (now NHNZ). Wilson stayed on in state television through many changes, revamps and alterations — a number of which he was asked to introduce— before heading up an international broadcasting network Jupiter Television in Japan.
Hugh Macdonald began his long, award-studded career at the National Film Unit, where at 25 he directed ambitious three-screen spectacular This is New Zealand (1970), which was seen by 400,000 New Zealanders. In the 80s he produced Oscar-nominated short The Frog, the Dog, and the Devil and established his own company, continuing a busy diet of commercial films, train documentaries and animation.
Roger Mirams helped launch legendary independent company Pacific Films in 1948, and went on to co-direct Broken Barrier in 1952 with John O'Shea — the only Kiwi feature made that decade. In 1957, Mirams set up a Pacific Films branch in Melbourne. Over the next five decades he won a reputation in Australia for his children's TV shows. Mirams was still working in his 80s; he passed away in February 2004.
Twenty-five plus years spent working in Māori tourism proved valuable when Karen Te O Kahurangi Waaka-Tibble moved into television production. The Rotorua local was used to managing people and events, so making TV shows was a natural fit. Now general manager for Kura Productions, Waaka-Tibble has produced nine seasons of children's te reo show Pūkoro, and was line producer on movie Mt Zion.
James Blick packed in a job as a lawyer in Auckland to get into filmmaking. His first short, relationship drama Us, was nominated for Best Short Film and Best Script at the 2006 NZ Screen Awards (Alison Bruce was named Best Actor). Follow-up Roof Rattling, starring Grant Tilly, was invited to festivals in France, Japan and the United States. Married to a Spaniard, Blick directed adverts downunder before relocating to Madrid in 2011. Soon after he co-founded a tour company, then in 2013 launched YouTube channel Spain Revealed. Since then Blick has made and presented dozens of videos about Spain and its cuisine.
Jayashree Panjabi began her television career in 1980 as a presenter on children's staple Play School, which she later returned to direct. During (and after) eight years with programme powerhouse NHNZ, Panjabi directed and produced documentaries around the world.

Proximal Crohn's disease, involving the esophagus, the stomach, the duodenum, and the proximal jejunum, is uncommon. Treatment for proximal Crohn's disease is based on data derived from case series than from controlled trials. We present a case of Crohn's colitis with concomitant proximal esophagogastroduodenal involvement treated with conventional treatment plus swallowed aerosolized budesonide as a novel adjuvant topical treatment for the esophageal disease, and we review the treatment options for proximal Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by a chronic, granulomatous, segmental transmural inflammation that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The ileum, the colon, the rectum, and the perianal region are the most frequent locations of disease involvement. Proximal Crohn's disease, involving the esophagus, the stomach, the duodenum and the proximal jejunum, is uncommon with a prevalence of 0.5% to 13% in patients with ileocolonic CD [1, 2], while isolated esophageal CD has been rarely described . Although upper GI CD is uncommon in adults, it is seen frequently in children . Patients with proximal CD usually present with concomitant small or large bowel disease. Today, the incidence of proximal disease is increased since CD patients more frequently undergo upper GI endoscopy. The recent European consensus (European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO)) on diagnosis and management of Crohn's disease propose treatments for esophageal and gastroduodenal disease based on data derived from case series than from controlled trials . In this paper we present a case of Crohn's colitis with concomitant proximal esophago-gastroduodenal involvement that was treated with conventional treatment according to ECCO guidelines plus swallowed aerosolized budesonide as a novel adjuvant topical treatment for esophageal disease.
A 21-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, low-grade fever and a 5kg weight loss during the last 3 weeks. The patient was lean (Body Mass Index: 16.8Kg/cm), did not smoke or drink alcohol. His past history was unremarkable and did not take any medication. Physical examination revealed mild diffuse abdominal tenderness. Laboratory studies revealed elevated ESR, CRP, platelet count, and the presence of leukocytes in the stool without blood, parasites, or ova. Chest X-ray was normal, and Mantoux test was negative. Colonoscopy showed longitudinal ulcers from sigmoid colon through cecum (Figure 1(a)) and a normal terminal ileum (Figure 1(b)). Histological examination demonstrated features of active Crohn's colitis without ileitis. Small bowel follow-through series were normal. Treatment with oral mesalazine (3g/day) and metronidazole (500mg twice daily for 10 days) was started.
The patient had no symptoms of proximal disease, but it is the standard practice in our department to perform supplementary upper GI endoscopy in all patients with ileal and/or colonic CD in order to define the sites, the extent, and the phenotype of the disease according to Montreal classification . Gastroscopy revealed multiple punch-out ulcers in the esophagus (Figure 2(a)) and erosions in the stomach (Figure 2(b)) and the duodenum (Figure 2(c)). Although histology showed nonspecific mild inflammatory reaction without evidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), or Candida albicans infection, the endoscopic appearance, the location and extent of the lesions combined with the active Crohn's colitis and the negative history of NSAIDs use, were suggestive for proximal CD.
Getting the idea from eosinophilic esophagitis' treatment [5, 6], “topical” treatment with ingestion of inhalable budesonide (Pulmicort turbuhaler; AstraZeneca LP, Sweden) together with oral pantopazole were added for the management of the esophageal and the gastroduodenal disease. The symptoms of colitis subsided completely after 2 weeks and in the 3rd month of followup the patient reported a 10-kg weight gain. A followup upper GI endoscopy showed disappearance of the esophageal disease (Figure 3) with persistence of gastric and duodenal erosions. Since the patient was asymptomatic from the proximal and distal disease he was set in a regular followup schedule with the same treatment (5-ASA, (PPIs) and inhalable budesonide) and the recommendation to avoid the use of NSAIDs.
Unfortunately, a few months later the patient experienced a new flare of the distal disease, which was managed successfully with systemic corticosteroids, starting with 32mg oral methyl-prednisolone and following a 12-week tapering scale after remission of symptoms was noted. Subsequently, azathioprine (2mg/kg/day) was added to the treatment as a steroid-sparing agent to maintain remission. Complete and sustained disease remission, clinical and endoscopic, was achieved throughout the gastrointestinal tract as evidenced during followup visits.
Usually the proximal involvement is diagnosed when a CD patient with known small and/or large bowel disease undergoes endoscopy for complaints or symptoms mimicking upper GI diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia, and peptic ulcer disease. Sometimes the proximal involvement is silent and the disease is diagnosed incidentally during endoscopy in an asymptomatic patient [1, 3].
Upper GI endoscopy with multiple mucosal biopsies will establish the diagnosis of proximal Crohn's disease in most of the cases. In the majority of cases the proximal disease extends beyond the esophagus, involving the stomach and the duodenum too. The most common endoscopic features in esophageal Crohn's disease include single or multiple erosions, aphthous ulcers or deep punched-out ulcers, with either local or extensive involvement surrounded by normal-looking mucosa. The antrum and the duodenum are most frequently involved than the proximal stomach is. Granular mucosa, patchy erythema, superficial or deep ulcerations can be observed . Stenosis is the major complication of proximal CD while fistulas are infrequent .
The lesions in the proximal involvement must be differentiated from diseases affecting the organ involved. Lesions in the esophagus must be differentiated from reflux esophagitis and infectious esophagitis (CMV, HSV, Candida albicans). Helicobacter pylori gastritis and granulomatous gastritis (Wegener's granulomatosis or necrotizing vasculitis) must be excluded in the stomach. Giardiasis, coeliac disease, lymphoma must be considered in the diagnosis when duodenum is involved. Of course when features of CD are present in the distal GI tract the diagnosis is more secure .
Treatment of proximal CD depends on the severity of the disease. The ECCO consensus underscores the lack controlled studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of drug therapy and proposes the addition of a proton pump inhibitor in the conventional treatment for distal disease or the use of systemtic corticosteroids and thiopurines or methotrexate . The administration of 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA) is a logical treatment, but their effect is not certain since these products are not activated in the proximal gastrointestinal tract. Antisecretory drugs (histamine receptor antagonists; HRAs and proton-pump inhibitors; PPIs) may relieve pain, but their efficacy in mucosal healing has not been proven . On the other hand, some authors raised the concern that omeprazole monotherapy could lead to stricturing and fistulization because of continued inflammation [3, 7]. Corticosteroids as a systemic therapy are the best treatment of choice, while no data exist on the therapeutic effect of budesonide formulations . Immunosuppressive therapy with azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine or methotrexate is an excellent steroid-sparing option for long-term maintenance which is also indicated for the management of the concomitant distal disease [2, 4]. Anti-TNF therapy is an alternative treatment for severe or refractory disease as recommended by ECCO consensus which suggested that clinicians should have a lower threshold for starting anti-TNF therapy than for disease elsewhere, given the poor prognosis of Crohn's disease with proximal involvement [4, 8, 9].
There is no recommendation for topical treatment of proximal CD with steroids or 5-ASA, although Rholl et al. reported the successful management of esophageal Crohn's disease complicated with an esophagogastric fistula with topical administration of 5-ASA and steroids in liquid form .
In our case we used aerosolized budesonide indicated for asthma, instructing the patient not to inhale but to swallow the drug as has been suggested in eosinophilic esophagitis treatment [5, 6]. With this application we consider that a sufficient amount of budesonide will reach the entire esophagus, achieving in that way a “topical” treatment. Indeed, in a followup endoscopy the esophageal lesions were healed, but the more distal disease was still active. Finally, the addition of azathioprine induced and maintained remission was curative for all locations of disease.
We believe that routine upper GI endoscopy in patients with CD, even when topical symptoms are lacking, helps to diagnose proximal involvement which must be differentiated from other ulcerative conditions [11, 12]. The optimal treatment for esophageal CD has not been established but topical corticosteroids offer an effective adjuvant therapeutic option together with those classically suggested for proximal disease .

But members of Congress, and both parties, are divided on what that strategy should be and how much latitude Trump and his successors should be given to intervene in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East.
“If [Trump] wants to expand American military involvement in Syria’s civil war, he must seek approval from Congress – & provide a comprehensive strategy with clear goals & a plan to achieve them,” Warren tweeted Friday.
Rubio, who wants to give presidents a wide berth to act, didn’t mention congressional approval in his statement. He called for “a real and comprehensive strategy for ending Assad’s threat to his people, to the region and to U.S. security, and for countering Russian and Iranian support for the Syrian dictatorship’s ongoing barbarity.”
Friday’s strikes came as the Senate prepared a new push to consider a revised Authorization for Use of Military Force, or AUMF, to supersede those passed in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and ahead of the 2003 Iraq invasion, which have been used to justify American military interventions ever since.
But more than five years of debate about the U.S. role in Syria and whether military action there is even legal have failed to generate a consensus strategy or a new AUMF despite a firm push from key players in Congress to reassert the body’s constitutional role in warmaking.
Lawmakers from both parties who have advocated a restrained approach to using military force excoriated the Trump administration for not first seeking congressional consent.
Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), a leading Democratic voice for a new AUMF, called it “illegal” and “reckless” without a broader strategy: “Today it’s a strike on Syria — what’s going to stop him from bombing Iran or North Korea next?”
Kaine, who ran for vice president on the Democratic ticket against Trump in 2016, and others also pointed to a tweet from 2013.
“The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!” Trump tweeted then, days after a chemical attack on a rebel stronghold, which prompted President Barack Obama and Western allies to consider retaliatory attacks.
That comment was made at a moment when Obama appeared poised to act. But the president — wary of another messy Middle Eastern intervention — instead left the decision to Congress, which ultimately did not act after weeks of debate.
Since then, the need for a strategy in Syria, as well as a formal congressional authorization for military action, has been a frequent topic of discussion on Capitol Hill. But lawmakers have found it easier to call for those things than to come to grips with the complications and implications of doing so.
Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), an influential member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Saturday that the strikes reflected an overt policy decision to be “the chemical weapons police” and no more.
“The administration does have a strategy — and it’s to withdraw from Syria as quickly as possible,” he said in a statement, critiquing a hands-off policy that he said would strengthen the hands of Russia and Iran, both key Syrian allies. “Ignoring the situation in Syria, simply saying — Not Our Problem — was a losing strategy when President Obama adopted it five years ago. And it’s a losing strategy still today.”
Trump ordered Friday’s strikes just weeks before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee takes up a proposed replacement for existing war authorizations, now almost two decades old. The new AUMF is not expected to cover action against the Assad regime in Syria but against extremist and terrorist groups operating both in Syria and elsewhere.
The administration did not use existing AUMFs as legal justification for the attack but instead, as it did when striking Syria last year after a previous chemical attack, declared it lawful under the president’s authority under Article II of the Constitution, which defines executive branch power.
Mike Pompeo, who served in the House and then as CIA director before being nominated as secretary of state, said in his confirmation hearing last week that he would support a new AUMF.
Top congressional leaders mostly sidestepped calls for a more thorough vetting of the U.S. approach to Syria and the congressional role in it. Republican leaders have been wary of bringing up an AUMF for debate before and are hesitant to debate divisive topics in an election year.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called the strikes “well-considered,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) offered support for the “pinpointed, limited action,” and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) praised the “decisive action.”
Only House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) explicitly backed those calling on Trump to seek an authorization from Congress, though Schumer has frequently called for the same.
The strikes have given anti-interventionists on both sides of the ideological divide fuel to call for a more aggressive legislative role.
“These offensive strikes against Syria are unconstitutional, illegal and reckless,” said Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), calling on the next House speaker to “reclaim congressional war powers” and charging Ryan — who announced his retirement this past week — with “completely abdicat[ing] one of his most important responsibilities.”
At a news conference last week, Ryan said Trump had sufficient authorization to strike Syria already and warned against adopting a more restrictive one.
“The last thing I want to see is an AUMF that makes it much more difficult for our military to respond to keep us safe, because they have the authority to do that right now,” he said Thursday.

Dramm releases new whitepaper: Dissolved oxygen in the greenhouse
Every grower measures EC and pH but rarely looks at DO levels in their irrigation water. However, DO has as much impact on plant growth as the other two measurements.
While this measurement is not often taken, growers are aware of the need for oxygen in the root zone. Media type and watering schedules are chosen to help supply oxygen to the roots.
Dissolved oxygen in irrigation water is critical to plant growth. Low DO levels will slow growth and high levels will promote growth.

Go easy on posting airport videos, netizens urged
The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) on Monday reminded netizens to practice prudence in uploading and sharing videos after an airport worker was unfairly accused of stealing valuables from a passenger luggage.
MIAA officials issued the reminder even as it clarified that there was no anomaly in the video uploaded recently on the social networking site Facebook where an airline ground employee at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) was shown taking out a package of documents from a black bag.
The video uploaded on Dec. 16 was titled, “Hulicam, mga tauhan ng Naia binubuksan ang mga gamit ng pasahero. Kailangan kumalat ito (Caught on camera, Naia personnel opening passenger baggage. This needs to be spread around).”
But what was apparently mistaken by an airline passenger, who took the video, to be a pilferage case was actually a legitimate and routine procedure by a ramp agent.
While MIAA General Manager Jose Angel Honrado expressed gratitude in a statement for the public’s vigilance on procedures at the airport, he said it is always better to ask the authorities first about their concern before clicking on the upload button on social networking sites.
“Ensuring safety and security is truly a community effort. We encourage the riding public to directly report any concern to the airport management so we can help you better,” Honrado said.
His spokesperson, David de Castro, said in a text message: “We can’t stop people from voicing out their concerns, especially in this digital age. We can only respect other people’s views. However, we also call on the public to practice prudence.”
“It would be good if they (the public) can make sure that their concern is addressed directly by the authorities rather than leaving it online for speculation. That way we can make sure that appropriate action will be taken,” he said.
De Castro said that based on the investigation conducted by the MIAA, the ramp agent merely retrieved cargo documents on the EVA Airways flight BR 271, which arrived from Taipei on Dec. 15. Jeannette I. Andrade

Preston New Year's Day fight: Woman charged after trying to stop police arresting her girlfriend
A woman protesting at the arrest of her girlfriend in a New Year's Day fracas ended up being arrested herself, a court has heard.
Angry Sophie Hughes, 25, of Marsh Lane, Preston, was drinking from a bottle of Captain Morgan's Rum as officers arrived to reports of a fight between her partner and another woman at 10.30am on Fishergate, Preston.
Prosecuting, Adrian Hollamby, said: "Officers were called to an incident where there were four women present. All were under the influence of alcohol.
"This defendant was seen to be drinking from a bottle of rum. What caused the problem is this defendant's partner being arrested.
"She shouted: "You can't arrest her."
"The officer's taken hold of her to move her away and stop her interfering with the arrest. She became aggressive shouting: "F***ing get off me" and actively trying to resist officers. "She also said: "I'll f***ing spit in your face.
"She was drunk and clearly made the officers' jobs more difficult in the circumstances."
Hughes, who has six previous convictions, admits being drunk and disorderly and obstructing a PC.
Defending, Duncan Nightingale said: " All the defendant can do in a case like this is apologise to the court and to all those that dealt with her on that particular evening.
"This took place in the early hours of New Year's Day, when she would agree she was still very intoxicated from the night before.
"There had been an altercation between the defendant's partner and another girl and it was the defendant's partner's case that she was the one who had been assaulted - but the other person in that fight looked to have come off worst and when police arrived they were intent on arresting the defendant's partner - the police had got it the wrong way round.
"That caused her in her intoxicated state to be upset."
The bench imposed a Â£160 fine, Â£30 surcharge and Â£40 costs.
The chairman said: "This behaviour has to stop and we have to try and help you stop."

Located right in the center of the Netherlands, De Haar Castle is one of the few remaining European castles that have kept their medieval appeal, with towers, ramparts, canals, gates and drawbridges. Near Utrecht and only a 30 minute drive from Amsterdam, this castle was completely restored and partially rebuilt in the late 19th century. If you’re visiting the Netherlands and take a day trip to see De Haar Castle, you’re going to be impressed from the moment the fairy-tale-like castle emerges from the trees and surrounding gardens and waters.
De Haar Castle was originally built in the middle ages in the 14th century. It was destroyed in the 15th century and rebuilt, and in the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle was abandoned and fell into ruin. In the late 19th century, baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt inherited the castle and decided to rebuild and restore the castle. The restoration began in 1892 and was done by famous Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers, who famously designed the Amsterdam Central Station, the Rijksmuseum and over 90 different churches.
De Haar Castle is the perfect tourist attraction for families of all ages to visit on a trip to the Netherlands. When you visit the castle, you will be taken on a guided tour which is led by one of the castle’s knowledgeable tour guides. On your tour you will learn about the castle’s architecture, its history, its collection and its interior. Aside from the English tours offered during the high season, all tours are in Dutch with an English audio guide available for English-speakers.
After you’ve seen the castle, don’t miss out on the opportunity to take a walk around the park and gardens. De Haar Castle is situated on 135 acres of beautiful Dutch landscape that is equally as stunning as the castle itself. The surrounding gardens were designed in the French geometric style, just like the gardens at Versailles. The rest of the park was designed in the English Country Style, with winding paths, stunning views of the castle in the background and many stunning trees. Take a stroll around the Rose Garden, the Roman Garden, the ponds, the canals and many bridges. The park is the perfect place to bring a book and read underneath the romantic vistas or take in nature on a long walk followed by a nice picnic or a meal at one of our on-site restaurants.

Transmission fluid is a vital part of your car’s health, and it needs to be regularly checked to ensure that it’s at the right level.
Power steering fluid, on the other hand, is not as critical to your car’s functioning, and you can usually get by without checking it as often.
So, what happens if you run out of transmission fluid and need to top it up?
Can you use power steering fluid in a pinch? The answer is no. Power steering fluid and transmission fluid are not interchangeable, and using one in place of the other can cause serious damage to your car.
Power steering fluid is designed to lubricate the components of your power steering system, while transmission fluid is responsible for cooling and lubricating the parts of your transmission.
If you use power steering fluid in your transmission, it will quickly break down and cause costly damage.
- Check your power steering fluid level and add fluid if necessary
- With the engine off, remove the power steering fluid reservoir cap and insert a funnel
- Pour the transmission fluid into the power steering fluid reservoir until it reaches the “full” line
- Replace the power steering fluid reservoir cap and start the engine
- Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to circulate the fluid
- Check the power steering fluid level and add fluid if necessary
Can You Use Transmission Fluid In Place Of Power Steering Fluid?
What can i use instead of power steering fluid
If your power steering fluid is low, you may be able to top it off with a different type of fluid.
For example, you can use hydraulic fluid, automatic transmission fluid, or even motor oil in a pinch.
Just be sure to check your owner’s manual first to see what type of fluid is recommended for your car.
Is transmission fluid thicker than power steering fluid
If you’ve ever wondered whether transmission fluid is thicker than power steering fluid, you’re not alone.
It’s a common question, and the answer isn’t always straightforward. Let’s start by looking at the two fluids.
Transmission fluid is a lubricant that helps keep the transmission components cool and operating smoothly.
Power steering fluid is a hydraulic fluid that helps power the steering system. So, which is thicker?
It depends. Transmission fluid is generally thicker than power steering fluid, but there are exceptions.
For example, some power steering fluids are designed to be thicker than transmission fluid, while others are thinner.
It’s also worth noting that the thickness of these fluids can vary depending on the temperature.
When it’s cold outside, transmission fluid will be thicker than it is when it’s hot. The same is true for power steering fluid.
So, there you have it. The answer to the question is that it depends. Transmission fluid is generally thicker than power steering fluid, but there are exceptions.
The thickness of these fluids can also vary depending on the temperature.
Can you mix power steering fluid
Power steering fluid is a hydraulic fluid that helps power the steering system in a vehicle.
The fluid helps to transfer the force from the steering wheel to the wheels, making it easier to turn the wheel.
The fluid also helps to keep the steering system components cool and lubricated.
There are different types of power steering fluid, so it’s important to check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to see what type of fluid is recommended.
You should never mix different types of fluid, as this can damage the steering system.
Can you use honda transmission fluid for power steering
Most carmakers don’t specify a power steering fluid change interval, but Honda recommends changing the power steering fluid every 80,000 miles.
You can use Honda transmission fluid for power steering, but it’s not the best option. The best power steering fluid for Honda is a synthetic hydraulic fluid.
Can you mix power steering fluid with automatic transmission?
There are a few different types of power steering fluid, so it’s important to check your car’s owner manual to see which kind is required.
That said, you should never mix power steering fluid with automatic transmission fluid.
Power steering fluid helps to lubricate the moving parts in your steering system, and it also helps to transfer the force from your steering wheel to the wheels.
Automatic transmission fluid, on the other hand, helps to lubricate the moving parts in your transmission.
Mixing the two fluids can cause serious damage to your car, and it can also void your warranty.
If you’re not sure which fluid to use, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and to consult with a professional.
What can I use for transmission fluid?
There are a few different types of transmission fluid that can be used in cars. The most common type is automatic transmission fluid, which is a special type of oil that helps to lubricate and cool the moving parts in the transmission.
Another type of transmission fluid is manual transmission fluid, which is designed to help keep the gears in the transmission from grinding against each other.
Does power steering fluid affect transmission?
Power steering fluid and transmission fluid are two different fluids that perform different functions in your vehicle.
Transmission fluid is responsible for lubricating and cooling the transmission, while power steering fluid is responsible for assisting in the turning of the wheels.
Because they perform different functions, power steering fluid will not affect the transmission and transmission fluid will not affect the power steering.
It is important to check your fluids regularly and top them off as needed to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
No, you cannot use power steering fluid for transmission fluid. Power steering fluid is a hydraulic fluid that is used to assist in steering the vehicle.
Transmission fluid is a lubricant for the transmission.

This report is the fourth in a series by The Pew Charitable Trusts examining key checking account terms and conditions. The good news for bank customers in 2014 is that disclosure policies have improved, especially those related to key terms, and there are greater overdraft protections at the ATM. Yet the bad news is that more banks are charging extended overdraft fees and limiting options for dispute resolution.
Checking accounts remain a fundamental financial product for consumers. Nine in 10 Americans have checking accounts and most rely on these accounts to make purchases, pay bills, withdraw cash, or deposit paychecks.1 Because checking accounts are an essential and widely used product, they need to be safe, fair, and transparent.
Unfortunately, the formal disclosure documents outlining these accounts' fees, terms, and conditions are often long, unintelligible, and opaque. Overdraft and transaction processing practices often result in surprise fees. And dispute resolution terms leave little room for consumers to choose how they want to proceed in the event of a problem.
The good news for bank customers in 2014 is that disclosure policies have improved, especially those related to key terms, and there are greater overdraft protections at the ATM. Yet the bad news is that more banks are charging extended overdraft fees and limiting options for dispute resolution.
These are the overarching findings of The Pew Charitable Trusts' fourth annual study of bank checking account disclosures.2 Our goal in this report, and the three previous ones, is to determine how consumers are affected by the terms and conditions of checking accounts.
We do this by reading and analyzing account agreements to determine bank policies and practices. We rely on these documents rather than contacting banks directly for this information because banks are legally required to accurately communicate these terms and conditions in writing to consumers. In addition, customers shopping for an account, whether online or in bank branches, would have to depend on these disclosures to choose a product or service that best meets their needs.
In our first study, released in 2011, we reported on the availability of important account information for the 10 largest financial institutions operating in the United States. In 2012, we used a similar format to study the top 12 financial institutions.
In 2013, we further expanded our scope to include 36 of the top 50 financial institutions (the other 14 did not provide Pew with account information when requested) and changed the format, adopting a rating system based on best and good practices—as derived from Pew's policy recommendations for checking account disclosure, overdraft, and dispute resolution policies.
This new report retains the rating system and evaluates the practices of 44 of the 50 largest retail banks that made their account information available. These institutions hold approximately 65 percent of all domestic deposits.
Like the 2013 report, Pew's Model Summary Disclosure Box for Checking Accounts (see page 6) served as the template for rating each bank's disclosure documents as a best or good disclosure practice. We used each bank's account agreement and other supplemental documents to determine whether the bank engaged in best or good practices for overdraft and dispute resolution.
Pew defines best practices as disclosed terms that are the most effective in:
Providing checking accountholders with clear and concise disclosure about fees and terms.
Reducing the incidence of overdrafts and eliminating practices that maximize overdraft fees.
Offering consumers a meaningful option to resolve a problem with their bank in court or by choosing arbitration rather than requiring consumers to agree before a dispute arises to go through the arbitration process.
Good practices are those described in bank disclosures that provide some protection to consumers in these areas but are not as expansive or effective as best practices. Depending on the practices and policies of each bank, it could be deemed to engage in both best and good practices in any of the three areas under review.

Nigeria enjoyed a slight ease in the shortage of Jet–A1 supplies across all airports over the past few months. However, acute scarcity began to manifest again two weeks ago with market interests reporting low stocks and product rationing followed by stock depletion.
The cause of the problem remains unaltered: the acute shortage of Forex allocations to marketers. The Nigerian fuel shortage situation has persisted since last year following the global fall in oil prices as well as activities of militant agitators in the Niger Delta Oil producing areas. This has ensured oil production remains well below the country’s capacity. Additionally, pipeline vandalization has resulted in adequate amounts of crude oil not reaching the four Government-owned refineries.
Stakeholders and the Nigerian government are responding to the situation. There is talk of preferential allocations of forex to marketers to enable them to import products. The major players like Total and Mobil are expected to leverage on their parent companies and partners to source emergency forex for this purpose. Sahara Aviation recently announced that they will commence the importation of 11 million liters of JET A-1 monthly. Another short to medium term measure being considered by the government is to designate one of the refineries in the Northern city of Kaduna to concentrate on JET-A1 production alone, whereas crude supplies will be sourced from Niger Republic, Nigeria’s Northern neighbor.
Nigeria consumes an average of two million liters of JET–A1 daily. Despite the country being the largest oil producer in Africa, virtually all of this is imported as none of the existing refineries have the capacity to produce it. Even the combined production of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) for cars can barely meet 20% of the national demand and shortfalls also have to be imported resulting in even tougher competition for scarce forex.
In spite of all the measures being put in place, this shortage is expected to persist until 2018 when the world’s largest single refinery, constructed by the Dangote Group, is set to commence production. This will immediately put a stop to importation, even producing an excess of product that can then be exported to other African countries.

Reviewing Equities First Holdings
Many loaning companies try to come off as the ideal business for many but only a handful of loaning organizations can truly meet the expectations of their clients and provide them with good service to assist them in the long run. What most if not all loans have to compete with, would be traditional banks. Banks over the years were well known for the types of loans that it gives toward business owners and continues to give off good services toward business owners.
It is hard for several loaning companies to truly keep up and compete with banks due to banks having years of experience as well as simply being a more reliable source for loans. Equities First Holdings however, have managed to be one of the few loaning companies that manage to truly go toe to toe with banks when it comes to them giving loans. This company has been within the loaning business since 2002 and since then has slowly grown through Europe and soon throughout the globe. This company is quite popular within North America and has gained good attention and review within parts of Asia from the types of loans it gives.

This time of year is usually one of celebration, especially for a young group who are just beginning their journey in education.
Yet, during times when schools are shuttered and the usual routine is interrupted, being able to hold any kind of gathering to honor anyone is a challenge. That didn’t stop Rockmart First United Methodist Church’s group of educators in their Pre-K program from making sure their students got the chance to stop by one more time before the start of summer.
A drive-thru graduation was held in front of Rockmart First United Methodist on Church Street on Tuesday morning, offering students and parents to see each other one more time before the official break, and to hand off presents with social distancing guidelines in place.
Rockmart Yellow Jacket mascot Rocky was also on hand to greet Pre-K students to give them an opportunity to high five. Rocky did have a COVID-19 test beforehand and came back negative, and maintained his distance from people ahead of the event to ensure that youth were safe when interacting with him.

French crude steel output down 1.8 percent in April
Tags: raw mat , France , Europe , production , steelmaking , crude steel , European Union , Mediterranean | similar articles »
According to the latest data regarding crude steel production in France released by the French Steel Federation (FFA), in April this year French crude steel production amounted to 1.42 million metric tons, down by 1.8 percent year on year and down four percent month on month.
In April, steel production in France using electric arc furnaces (EAF) fell 3.2 percent year on year, amounting to 567,200 mt, while steel production with blast furnace (BF) technology totaled 852,900 mt, decreasing by 0.9 percent year on year.
Meanwhile, in the first four months of the current year, France's crude steel production amounted to 5,568,600 mt, increasing 5.4 percent compared to the same period last year. In the given period, steel production in France using electric arc furnaces (EAF) rose 7.5 percent year on year, reaching 2,243,000 mt, while steel production with blast furnace (BF) technology totaled 3,325,600 mt, increasing by four percent year on year.
The FFA also noted that domestic crude steel production in the first four month of the current was still 14.6 percent below the January-April 2008 production figure.


I've always wanted to sit by the phone looking as sexy as all get out with a great coif, blindingly white teeth, and a weency wireless headset perched on my ear, ready to take your calls. So, this past week, because I could stand it no longer, I purchased a Bluetooth headset and a USB Bluetooth adapter to use with Skype. (The extreme dentistry and plastic surgery makeover will have to come at a later date.)
I had a little trouble getting things to work, but I won through in the end, and now have hands-free Bluetooth telephony working with Skype on Vista.
I purchased a Plantronics 510 Bluetooth headset, and an IOGEAR USB Bluetooth adapter, which together cost me $135 from Costco (in Canada). Of course it would have cost me quite literally HALF that if I ordered the same items from the USA, but I was worried I might not even get them working together, and Costco has a fabulous return policy.
Plantronics 510 Bluetooth headset
IOGEAR USB Bluetooth adapter
I plugged the USB Bluetooth adapter into a free USB port on my desktop machine, and allowed Vista to install native Microsoft Bluetooth drivers, instead of installing drivers from the supplied IOGEAR install CD. This was, in hindsight, probably a mistake. But whatever.
I had the headset paired with the USB adapter in a matter of minutes, but couldn't get any actual sound through to the headset from Skype or anything else. Nor, going the other way, could the computer pick up anything from the headset microphone. So it was "connected" (that's good) but didn't actually work in any way (that's bad).
The Pain Point (or, the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack)
Obviously the Bluetooth drivers were to blame (I said to myself). Maybe I should have installed drivers from the IOGEAR CD after all. Except that I couldn't. The setup.exe on the CD would start... but then just wouldn't proceed. There it was in the taskbar. Doing nothing.
Well, I'm no procmon ninja, so I went to IOGEAR's website to download the latest drivers. And indeed, there was a significant update. You can't trust the drivers that ship with a device anyway, since who knows how long the thing has been gathering dust on a warehouse shelf.
And so I tried to install the latest drivers, but again, setup.exe ran, and did nothing. Curse you, IOGEAR: may a thousand slammer worms infest your intimate recesses.
So I was stuck. Except that when I peered at the teensy tiny pictures in the PDF install manual that came with the latest drivers, I happened to notice that the installer was really just a wrapper for a Widcomm Bluetooth driver set. A-ha!
Yes, this picture in the IOGEAR install manual, in all its original no-quality glory. "Next" is helpfully circled. How nice.
Long story short, I eventually found my way to the original source for Widcomm Bluetooth software in a Windows environment: http://www.broadcom.com/products/bluetooth_update.php. That installed correctly.
Interestingly, the install seems to add on and plug in to the existing Microsoft Bluetooth stack rather than eradicating and replacing it. A bunch of new functionality appeared in the Bluetooth device settings control panel, including a checkbox to "control Skype(tm) calls using a hands-free device". Well!
Control Skype(TM)? Yes, please!
Windows help was also updated to include some blurb about the new functions, which mostly deal with sharing files and calendar information with Bluetooth-enabled devices.
I'm certain that any ordinary citizen consumer would have gone completely postal in their attempt to get the Bluetooth headset working with the USB adapter. It was definitely not plug n' play.
It's quite unclear to me why the default Microsoft Bluetooth stack is so crippled, and why it doesn't install the full and complete Widcomm Bluetooth driver set right off the bat, or at least alert me to that option. Also, it didn't help that IOGEAR made it appear that I needed an IOGEAR branded driver set, and could only provide a mortally wounded installer, when I really just needed the latest openly available Widcomm drivers.
But, the hands-free headset now works, and the sound quality is very good. I switch from desktop to laptop with ease, as well. I haven't quite figured out how to control Skype from the headset, but that's a minor inconvenience.

[New Feature] See the number of views your Instagram Video got
Starting today, Instagram is going to start replacing the number of “Likes”, which are normally visible below the video, with the number of “Views”. Instagram is giving priority to the views because it thinks that it is the best way to show the interactivity of the community but if you want to see the number of likes, just tap on the views.
As Instagram slowly shifts its model to a revenue-based one(starting with sponsored posts in our photo streams), this is another feature which is mainly targeted for advertisers to give them a way of tracking the outreach of their Instagram ads.
Initially a photo-sharing service, Instagram added the option to upload 15 second videos in June of 2013. Although many of the 400 Million Instagram users don’t use it to upload videos, Instagram says that the amount of time people spend watch videos on Instagram has jumped up 40 percent feature. Also, the feature has contributed hugely to setting off numerous trends (search #Dubsmash on Instagram) and even celebrities have taken a liking to it, preferring it over other video-specific social networks like Vine.


How Can You Turn Negative Reviews into a Powerful Tool for Reputation Repair?
Overview of Negative Reviews
In today’s digital age, online reviews play a crucial role in shaping a company’s reputation. With the power of social media and review sites, customers can now easily share both positive and negative experiences with the world. Negative reviews can be detrimental to a company’s online presence and potential customers often rely on these reviews to make informed decisions. A single bad review can lead to a significant drop in customer satisfaction and trust, ultimately affecting the bottom line. However, it’s important to remember that negative reviews are an opportunity for growth and improvement. In this article, we will explore strategies on how to effectively respond to negative reviews and repair your company’s reputation. By proactively addressing customer concerns and providing thoughtful responses, you can turn a negative experience into a positive impact on your business.
The Impact of Negative Reviews on Your Reputation
Negative reviews can have a significant impact on a business’s reputation, potentially causing damage to its online presence and overall customer perception. In today’s digital world, where potential customers heavily rely on online reviews to make purchasing decisions, it is crucial for businesses to understand and effectively respond to negative feedback.
Importance of a Balanced Review Profile:
While positive reviews are vital for building credibility and trust, a review profile consisting solely of positive experiences may raise suspicions among potential customers. In fact, a study by Harvard Business Review found that a moderate ratio of positive to negative reviews creates the most trustworthy impression. A balanced review profile creates a sense of authenticity, allowing potential customers to make informed decisions.
Red Flags: Multiple Negative Reviews on the Same Topic
When multiple negative reviews focus on the same aspect of a business, it can serve as a red flag for consumers. Continual negative feedback regarding a specific issue highlights a consistent problem, potentially resulting in loss of trust and prospective customers. This makes it essential for businesses to hone in on recurring complaints and address them promptly to rectify their reputation.
Reputation Repair: Taking Action
To effectively address negative reviews and repair your reputation, consider the following steps:
1. Monitor Online Reviews: Use tools or applications to track online reviews across various platforms. This will ensure you stay updated about customer feedback and can take appropriate action quickly.
2. Respond Thoughtfully: Craft sincere and thoughtful responses to customer reviews, regardless of their tone. Address their concerns, offer a genuine apology, and provide a solution. A study by ReviewTrackers revealed that 52% of customers who received a response to their negative review raised their star rating.
3. Direct Contact: Whenever possible, reach out to the customer directly to understand their concerns better. Offering a personal touch and showing that you genuinely care about their experience can go a long way in rebuilding trust.
4. Learn from Feedback: Utilize negative feedback as an opportunity to improve. Analyze patterns in criticism and make the necessary changes to enhance the customer experience.
In today’s digital landscape, a business’s reputation heavily relies on how effectively it handles negative reviews. By maintaining a balanced review profile, addressing recurring complaints, and taking tangible steps to repair your reputation, businesses can build trust with potential customers, strengthen customer loyalty, and ultimately thrive in a competitive market. Remember, a negative review is not the end; it is an opportunity to showcase excellent customer service and turn dissatisfied customers into brand advocates.

Best Benchtop Belt Sander for Metal Work
OUR TOP PICK
You don’t need to worry about this bad boy getting the job done quickly and smoothly. It sure will. This sander can work on metal and wood to create that smooth finish you’re after.
The sanding belt can be rotated up to ninety degrees, so it is super flexible.
Excellent news if you’ve got some interestingly shaped materials for sanding or especially long items then this will surely help get the job done without you having to contort yourself into unnatural positions.
The driven drum also allows for sanding curved pieces while the sanding disc can adjust up to forty-five degrees for flexible sanding.
This is one powerful professional machine. The direct drive motor measures in at 1 horsepower which is more than most wood sanding power tools.
The fully enclosed induction motor ensures powerful yet quiet performance. It’s tidy too. When used in conjunction with the dust collector the dust outlet will collect dust and shavings safely and prevent melting.
Both the sanding belt and the sanding disc outlets are made from suitably heat resistant materials for your peace of mind.
Additionally, this handy all-rounder machine comes with knife grinding accessories to sharpen up your blades safely on the belt plate.
- Multifunctional – This sander can be used on either wood or metal.
- Convenient design – The power switch is located on the top of the machine right in your eye-line.
- Easy replace paper – The pasted design of the sand disc allows for quick and easy sanding paper replacement.
- Powerful – the 1 HP induction motor produces enough power for large and small sanding jobs.
- Adjustable – The belt sander tilts to 90 degrees while the disc sander tilts up to 45 degrees for comfortable crafting.
- May not work on plastic – It is not explicitly acknowledged as to whether other materials may be used with this sander, such as plastic.
This compact looking sander does everything it needs to while saving space on your worktop.
This sander features a 36” by 4” belt sander and a 6” disc sander. This tool would be perfect for smaller jobs and compact workshops but it’s still powerful enough to handle light metal work.
With sensibly priced attachments and replacement sanding papers, this would make an ideal sander for an avid hobby crafter.
While the ½ horsepower motor won’t be up to large projects, it’s just perfect for the odd woodworking or metal crafting project.
- Compact design – This is a smaller version of a traditional 2 in 1 sander. It takes up much less room too.
- Good for small projects – The belt sander is around twelve inches smaller than other similar belt sanders and the disc sander is two inches smaller than the usual eight inches. This makes it an ideal tool to work with more delicate and intricate projects where more control is needed.
- Adjustable mitre gauge – benefitting from an adjustable mitre gauge means that you can make sure your angles are right every single time.
- Less powerful – This sander is much more suited to smaller projects than for industrial use. It has lower speeds for the belt sander and the disc sander than some of its peers which would make it unsuitable for some large-scale projects.
- Only suitable for light metal work – This sander cannot handle too much metal sanding as it will be too much for it. It would be better for wood crafting with occasional use for light metal sanding.
This lightweight 2 in 1 sander weighs in at a modest thirty-five pounds. That’s at least five pounds less than the usual weight of a benchtop sander.
That doesn’t mean it’s any less powerful though.
While the 1/3 horsepower isn’t overwhelming you might be impressed by the RPM (revolutions per minute) for the disc dander which stands at 3500 RPM, while the belt sander boasts a 4400 SFPM (surface feet per minute).
These are actually faster than the 1 horsepower Bucktool one we showed you first.
It comes in two specifications. One features a six-inch disc sander such as the Grizzly Industrial had, but the larger version features a nine-inch disc sander.
There’s quite a big difference in the size of belt sanders in the two models too. The smaller one is 2” x 42” while the larger one is much wider at 6” x 48”.
The best model for you would depend on the size of the items you’re likely to be using it for.
The larger sander also features a 1HP motor, which should help for more heavy-duty tasks. This tool claims to sand, finish, polish, deburr and contour materials amongst other things and claims to be suitable for all materials.
It’s a bold claim but with that amount of RPM and power, we can see it living up to our expectations.
As with many of the other sanders, the belt can be adjusted to sand either vertically or horizontally and the worktable tilts for your convenience.
All in all, either of these Palmgren sanders would grace any workshop.
- Fast rotation speed – The RPM and SFM are impressive on this sander even on the lower horsepower model. That’s sure to help create a smooth finish on wood or metal.
- Reliable – The capacity motor claims to run under load without slowing. It’s heavy duty (yet lightweight design) ensures long life for the tool itself.
- Easy paper change – The simple belt tension allows for easy belt changes, so you don’t have to spend lots of your valuable time changing and replacing the papers.
- Mitre gauge included – It’s always handy to have a reliable mitre gauge.
- Not suitable for plunge cuts for knives – Despite its undeniable power, this machine’s design does not appear to be compatible with practicing blade plunging.
This sander is definitely a safety conscious 2 in 1 sander. Like the others, it has a belt sander and a disc sander.
Weighing in at only twenty-seven pounds, this pocket rocket is a compact, yet powerful addition to your workshop.
It boasts a sturdy design, as well as a flexible work lamp to help with precision work even in dimly lit spaces.
The base is designed for stability with non-slip rubber feet and a waterproof design for your peace of mind.
It also has a detachable sink for quickly cooling hot materials.
It can handle wood, plastic and iron which is impressive for such a small tool.
The belt sander can be adjusted up to ninety degrees for vertical or horizontal grinding and sanding.
It also features a protective eye guard over the disc sander to keep you safe from sparks and debris while in use.
Unlike other sanders in our guide, this one comes with a couple of accessories.
It has a replacement sander belt which is handy to have and two pairs of gloves suitable for use when handling crafting materials. Nobody likes splinters, after all.
- Safe and sturdy design – featuring a rustproof, waterproof base with rubber feet to avoid the machine rocking or walking as you work, we can tell that health and safety is a key priority for the manufacturers of this 2 in 1 sander.
- Compact design – This lightweight power tool doesn’t take up much space on the workbench, but can accomplish grinding, sanding, and polishing of wood, metal and plastic which is more than can be said of some of the heavier varieties.
- Extra features – The protective eye guard is a good addition to the disc sander, and the LED work lamp will help to make intricate, precise work easy. In addition, the work gloves and the replacement sanding belt are a welcome add-on.
- Disc sander doesn’t move - The belt sander does move and adjust for ease of work position, but unlike some of the other models, this tool’s disc sander is not adjustable.
- Its RPM is lower - While Revolutions Per Minute isn’t the only thing which can make a tool powerful, it does help. The belt sander can reach 3450 RPM, but this isn’t as high as most of the others. However, it does claim to be powerful enough to handle metal work, so maybe the RPM isn’t what it’s all about for this tool.
This is a grinder, rather than a sander so it can easily sharpen tools.
We include this because not all metal work involves sanding, specifically and most people have tools around the house for DIY or for work which need sharpening periodically to get the best out of them.
This double grinder can get it all done. Its six by ¾ inch disc grinders are designed to grind metal to a fine point.
As such, the protective eye guards are very welcome since you’re sure to be making sparks with this power tool. The unit also features a flexible work lamp, although the bulb is not included.
This grinder also features a tool rest feature to support accurate grinding.
The motor is said to be quiet which is a plus if you want to keep the peace with your neighbours and weighing at only 4 pounds, is semi-portable.
The WEN two-year warranty is a load off the mind too. In case anything does go wrong with it, you’re covered.
- Compact design – This small, but powerful grinder may be just the answer to your troubles. It can give your old, rusty tools and blades a new lease of life and make them fit for purpose again. It doesn’t weigh half as much as any of the other sanders and grinders, and it won’t take up much room so it’s ideal for smaller workspaces.
- Safety conscious – The protective eye guards will no doubt come in handy when grinding metal. The tool rest will also help you stay safe and in control of your work.
- Work light – The flexible work light will surely be most helpful when working with blades and smaller tools. You want an even finish, after all.
- 2 grinding wheels – The two grinding wheels have different grit levels, which will ensure you can bring all your old tools back to life in no time. The motor is also quiet for a powerful machine.
- Not suitable for sanding – This is a grinder, not a sander and is not suitable for working with wood or other materials. It is only to be used for sharpening metal items.
- Not suitable for large items – the six-inch grinding wheels are not large, so working on large areas will take time, but it is very well-equipped for smaller items.
Benchtop Metal Work Sander Buyer’s Guide
There are lots of factors to consider when choosing a benchtop sanding machine. For a start you need to think about whether you need a static sander at all or if a smaller handheld one might serve your purposes better.
Bigger isn’t always better where power tools are concerned. It completely depends on what you’re likely to be using it for. Here are a few things to consider when buying your next sander.
Handheld Or Benchtop?
While you might think a benchtop sander is the only way to go, the positives of an orbital or handheld sander might have passed you by.
While benchtop sanders are the most efficient way to achieve a smooth finish in a short amount of time, they are also bulky and hard to move.
If you needed to sand something which was too big to lift for example, then a corded handheld sander might just work better for you, as you can work around the object rather than trying to get material to work around the sander.
Also, if you were planning to work with bumpy or unusually shaped pieces then a more flexible sander might give you more control over your work than a large industrial style one.
Many carpenters and craftspeople find that owning a combination of sanders is the best way to go. That way you have a heavy duty one for your workshop, while you have more portable ones to hand for work outside of the workshop.
Lightweight Or Heavy Duty?
Again, this depends on the type of projects you’ll be using it for and about the amount of space you have available in your workshop.
We know it’s tempting to fill up your worktops with gadgets, tools and machines and forget to leave any workspace for the actual work you intend on doing.
For smaller workshops, you may benefit from a smaller unit to save space for other power tools or for space to craft.
If you have a large area with plentiful surface areas for tools, then good for you. Many of us handcrafters must prioritise space for what’s most needed.
A lightweight sander or grinder will do for most amateur or DIY projects, whereas a heavier duty one with larger sanding surfaces on the belt and disc sanders may be beneficial for a professional carpenter, joiner or metal worker who may need to work with larger items.
We have spoken about the power of the units and explained their horsepower where the information is available, but horsepower or watts aren’t everything.
The rotation speed of the sanding units themselves are tell-tale as well about how powerful they are. A high RPM on the disco sanders or SFPM on the belt sanders can help you to understand how fast the tools move.
As a rule of thumb, the faster they go, the quicker they’ll work and the smoother the finish.
Then again, if you are only wanting to work with small, delicate items such as soft wood, then a slower speed would give you more control over your work.
No one wants to be sanding a doorknob and quickly realise that their sander is way too powerful and has reduced the sphere to a stump in two seconds flat.
You need the right power for the project, so don’t automatically assume that more power is better.
Sanding Belt Width
You need to consider the widths of the sanders because it will affect what they are suitable for. Some sanders have a thinner belt sander and smaller disc sander than others.
This is a deliberate design feature which makes them more suitable for smaller crafts and especially those with unusual shapes and lots of lumps and bumps.
If you’re only wanting to sand planks of wood, then a bigger belt sander will benefit you, as more surface gets sanded at one time. Think about what you’re likely to be using it for most to determine which size sander is right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Benchtop Belt Sanders For Metal Work
Does A Sander Make A Lot Of Mess?
Well, the short answer in most cases is yes, but it doesn’t have to.
Many larger sanders have a dust outlet which can then be vacuumed as the machine is operating.
This minimises the mess that the sander creates by collecting much of the dust and debris from the sanding or grinding.
Then again, if you don’t have a compatible hose or vacuum attached then this will just shoot the sawdust and mess at the wall or in whichever direction it is pointed.
Some sanders are compatible with household vacuums while others need specific units to make them tidy. Sanding any material such as wood, metal or plastic will create a mess, because you are shaving tiny particles off the material.
Those specs of debris must go somewhere so there will inevitably be some mess when working with a sander.
At least the larger benchtop ones have a way of tidying up after themselves a bit, whereas handheld sanders demand a good old-fashioned dustpan, brush, and an able pair of hands to clean up after them.

So what’s hot, and what’s not, in the past week’s blogging? Here are the six most popular posts on Zelo Street for the past seven days, counting down in reverse order, because, well, I have shopping stuff to do later. So there.
6 Mail Google Bomb Claim BUSTED The idea that terrorists could not make bombs in the days before Google was bunk. The legendarily foul mouthed Paul Dacre was just using the Parson’s Green attack to smear a firm that was better than he was at scoring advertising revenue.
5 Brexit BBC Patriotism Idiocy Another day, another intervention from the serially clueless Tim Montgomerie, claiming the BBC was being unpatriotic by reporting the news.
4 Bonking Bob’s Baseless Bluff Tory MP Bob Stewart’s claim that his kids’ school had mocked his being a Tory encountered a problem - the school didn’t know what he was on about.
3 Rod Liddle Backs Ethnic Cleansing As hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims fled their homes in Myanmar, and the UN called the actions of the Government there, as well as extremist Buddhist monks, as ethnic cleansing, up popped Rod Liddle to obediently nudge-nudge his readers into believing that it was the Scary Muslims (tm) at fault.
2 Gina Miller Strikes Again Our Government once again gets caught out by a lone campaigner not knowing what it’s doing - or knowingly trying to by-pass Parliament in order to give the DUP its Billion Pound Bung.
1 Diane Abbott Was Right All those who thought that the Labour MP was wrong to use the N-Word live on Good Morning Britain as an example of the abuse she gets day-in, day-out - maybe you’re part of the problem.
And that’s the end of another blogtastic week, blog pickers. Not ‘arf!
