Fairview Sailing have been operating for over 28 years and are based on the Solent River near Southampton. Fairview allow yacht owners to offset some running costs of yacht ownership by chartering out their boats for agreed periods. This means competent non-yacht owners can also enjoy all the pleasure of effectively having their own boat, without any of the hassle of owning a yacht. Even if just for a short time.
Whichever way you look at it – this means more people get to enjoy being on the water for less cost. Which is fantastic and something we totally support.
Fairview have over 40 yachts available on charter based in the Hamble. Including Bavaria, Dufours, Oceanis, Beneteaus & a few more. Obviously, there are different nuances for each brand-type but they all have a luxurious spec that won’t disappoint.
Fairview offer several bareboat yacht packages. For which you’ll need sailing qualifications/experience to take out. Ideally, as should your first-mate. If this isn’t something your group has then there are several other skippered packages that should suit your needs. The nearby sailing areas have some of the most complex tidal systems in the world and equally busy shipping lanes. But the basics are easily understood. Either way, best to call ahead to discuss the most suitable package for your trip.
Once you are underway the following is on offer from an experience with Fairview Sailing:
“From the breathtaking views of the Needles to the sun setting over Osbourne Bay there is no other more varied cruising ground that offers so much at every level. From a novice to the highly experienced there is always something to enjoy and learn in the Solent. Sheltered anchorages, superb scenery, and numerous historic ports all a very short distance apart. So much choice and so much scope, that’s why Solent sailing is so rewarding.The Solent offers world-class sailing conditions and spectacular scenery.It’s protected waters offer a unique and challenging sailing experience perfect for experienced and novice sailors alike.This 30 mile stretch of water between England and the Isle of Wight,flanked at one end by the famous Needles and at the other by the historic Napoleonic forts, provides some of the most popular cruising waters in the World.
You can visit pretty harbours at Hamble, Beaulieu, Lymington; maybe you prefer a waterside pub on the Isle of Wight like the charismatic Folly Inn or a stroll around the narrow streets of Cowes,even a shopping trip to Gunwharf Quays in historic Portsmouth?
Whatever the day and time of year there is always something to see in this busy stretch of water.”

Absentee voting for presidential primary starts Friday in Minnesota
The general election may still be 10 months away but, ready or not, election season is almost here.
Absentee voting for the presidential primary will start on Friday in Minnesota, 46 days before the March 5 primary election. Voters can request an absentee ballot online, and some cities also offer in-person absentee voting.
March 5 is also Super Tuesday, where 16 states will have their primaries.
For the primary, voters have to choose their preferred party and pick from only that party’s list of candidates. In Minnesota, that choice is private and isn’t attached to any public voting records, although the political party chairs can see which voters selected their party — but not how they voted.
Three parties are considered “major” political parties in Minnesota — the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, the Republican Party and Legal Marijuana Now. Those are the only parties that will participate in the presidential primary.
Minnesotans can register to vote, update their registration if they moved or changed addresses, or check their registration status on the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website. Voters can pre-register for the primary until Feb. 13 but those who miss the deadline can still register in person at the polling place on primary election day.
Click here to find your polling place.
And for those looking ahead, Minnesota’s primary election for offices other than the president will be on Aug. 13, with early voting opening on June 28, and the general election is scheduled for Nov. 5, with early voting opening on Sept. 20. And since it’s a general election year, it will be a busy election season, as voters will pick local, state and federal representatives.
“There is no question that this election year will be among the most intense in history,” Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said Thursday. “The presidential candidates will likely inspire strong feelings, people will be passionate, and that’s OK. We are, after all, electing the most powerful person in the United States and probably the world; I think a little passion, a little energy is called for, it’s not a bad thing at all, we just want to make sure that it’s channeled in the right direction, a positive direction, a nonviolent direction, and that’s what’s really important.”

Growth hormone stack: The growth hormone stack is perfect if you want to see both muscle gains and increased strengthgains without adding weight. The growth hormone is also responsible for many of the growth factors our body produces. It is produced by the adrenal glands and has several important functions: It helps to produce muscle, sarms lgd 4033 uk. Takes up a lot of protein so it is important that its use isn't limited, cardarine substitute. Helps regulate blood sugar levels. Helps increase blood pressure, moobs for you. It affects our ability to fight disease and protect us from disease. All of these functions are important and should be taken seriously, buy root growth hormone. The Growth Hormone Combination For most people this is all they need, but because of different hormonal imbalances, there will be situations when one works better than the other. The following list will explain each of the different hormone combinations as they may be used in different circumstances. The most commonly used combination is the growth hormone for growth hormone, Growth Hormone + Growth Hormone, buy growth root hormone. This has the most effect. The growth hormone for growth hormone, Growth Hormone for Growth Hormone stack is also the easiest to explain, oxandrolone 10 mg. This combines both growth hormone from the adrenal glands and growth hormone from the pituitary gland. This provides the most effect of growth hormones, dbal prepare. Growth Hormone for Growth Hormone + Growth Hormone stack is another effective combination, however it may not be as efficient with the addition of the growth hormone and growth hormone itself, trenbolone bulking stack. Growth Hormone for Growth Hormone + Growth Hormone for Steroids stack is another effective combination. Because growth hormones are mainly produced in the adrenal glands, not in the pituitary gland where growth hormone is produced, this combination may not produce as much growth hormone and steroid. It should be noted that because growth hormones are more concentrated in the adrenal glands, growth hormones are more difficult to produce, producing less and less of it from the pituitary gland, which reduces its effectiveness, steroids used for what. It should also be noted that growth hormone is a lot higher in the body, and so it has much more effect if it is taken along, trenbolone bulking stack. All these combinations are good if you just want to see muscle gains but not a huge amount of gains in terms of strength. There are no particular advantages to one over the other, it's all the same for muscle gains and strength, cardarine substitute0. Growth Hormone for Growth Hormone + Growth Hormone + Growth Hormone is the most effective combination overall and one of the easiest to understand.

And one way doctors often try to remedy this croupy cough is to prescribe a steroid for the child. However, the most common side effect of steroid medications in children with pneumonia also seems to be a cough. The reason is that the body's nasal passages work differently in kids with pneumonia than it does in kids with other conditions such as allergies, somatropin 5 mg. When a kid with pneumonia has something to eat and drink, it goes into the bloodstream, rather than into the stomach to be digested. That then makes the kid's nasal passages much more susceptible to toxins such as steroids and other medications that the doctor may have prescribed, somatropin 5 mg. And some steroids also are toxic to children's eyes, so doctors frequently advise kids to use protective glasses while taking steroid medications, tren cough. Sometimes, for the child with pneumonia, the drug is prescribed for the first time in childhood and a doctor may be unsure when the drug should be left in the child's body. However, it is always good to consult with a doctor with experience in treating children's illnesses first to determine when the use of the steroids should be continued or removed.
Ostarine mk-2866 vs anavar Somatropin is a form of human growth hormone important for the growth of bones and muscles. While its exact function is not fully understood, scientists have estimated that this hormone is responsible for approximately 80% of the growth of humans and it is a potent immunogenic molecule. Because of this, it is very important to control the growth hormone levels of infants and children while allowing normal growth to occur. Since a patient taking growth hormone would then be more tolerant, the same would be said of an adult taking it. This treatment is a two-tiered procedure to administer in order to maintain the proper levels of growth hormone while allowing the body to continue growing at normal rate through adulthood. The first stage involves injecting a medicine into the patient's arm and thigh muscle. This medicine then is then administered to the patient twice daily to boost the levels of growth hormone that are normally produced in the bloodstream within the body. Following the injection, the patient is allowed to eat at meals to maintain the proper levels of growth hormone while the growth hormone is being absorbed. If the growth hormone levels are too low, it may be possible to switch to the second stage, which utilizes a serum infusion technique. During a serum infusion, the person is allowed to eat at meals to ensure that the amount of growth hormone being stored in their bloodstream is allowed to reach their tissues. The first stage is given in the presence of the patient's physician. They will also use a special IV drip to administer the medicine to the patient's arm and thigh muscle. During the infusion, a special pump is placed in the veins to deliver the growth hormone solution throughout the blood. When the treatment is finished, the patient then undergoes a post-injection blood test to test their levels of growth hormone as well as their body's immune response to the growth hormone therapy. What are some of the side effects of GHG in infants? GHG has been proven to be effective in treating children of all ages. Unfortunately, there are times when the patient becomes so fatigued or ill that they require bed rest for a period of time. However, this does not apply to those infants who may have a fever, lack appetite, become unresponsive or not respond in any way. The most common side effects may include vomiting, lethargy, headache, loss of appetite and even a rash. These symptoms may also include increased appetite, weight loss, dizziness, and fatigue. Some of these side effects have been reported in cases of severe malnutrition, while others may occur if the child fails to gain weight within the first month. GHG Similar articles:

As Frederick County public school employees prepare to welcome more than 40,000 students Monday, August 25, FCPS buses are sporting a special new feature. This year instead of learning a bus number, students will travel by route, a letter-number combination displayed in windows on each side of the bus. The route designation will remain the same even when a substitute bus is scheduled to serve that route.
Most routes begin with the first letter of the high school in the student’s feeder pattern, or service area. For example, a student in the Brunswick High feeder pattern—which includes the high school plus middle and elementary schools that “feed into” that school—will be assigned a route starting with the letter B. Because there are 15 routes in the Brunswick area, its route numbers are B1 through B15.
In addition to making it easier for students to remember which bus to board, the new system allows drivers to remain with one bus. This helps drivers be more familiar with their own bus’s handling and provides positive incentives for drivers to maintain their vehicles well.
Parents and students will find the route numbers online when that feature of the www.fcps.org/backtoschool section goes live Friday, August 15 at 5 p.m.
FCPS recommends that parents remind their children of safe transportation practices included on page 24 of this year’s Calendar Handbook, online at www.fcps.org/calendar, and coming home with each student the first school day.

Altaeros Touts "Green" Helium Wind Turbine Amid Global Helium Shortage
March 30, 2012 7:51 AM
comment(s) - last by
Alternative power source might be a good idea if it wasn't for record helium shortages
Altaeros Energies is taking greenwashing to a new height with the debut of its bulbous helium filled Airborne
(AWT). The company looks to replace one depletable resource that comes out of the ground (oil/coal) with another even scarcer resource that comes out of the ground (helium).
The company recently completed testing of a 35-foot scale prototype of the Altaeros Airborne Wind Turbine (AWT) at the Loring Commerce Center in Limestone, Maine. The prototype, fabricated in partnership with Doyle Sailmakers of Salem, Massachusetts, achieved several key milestones. The AWT climbed up 350 feet high, produced power at altitude, and landed in an automated cycle. In addition, the prototype lifted the top-selling Southwest Skystream turbine to produce over twice the power at high altitude than generated at conventional tower height. The turbine was successfully transported and deployed into the air from a towable docking trailer.
Altaeros is developing its first product to reduce energy costs by up to 65 percent by harnessing the stronger winds found over 1,000 feet high and reducing installation time from weeks to days. In addition, it is designed to have virtually no environmental or noise impact and to require minimal maintenance. The Altaeros AWT will displace expensive fuel used to power diesel generators at remote industrial, military, and village sites. In the long term, Altaeros plans to scale up the technology to reduce costs in the offshore wind market.
A glowing view by
paints Altaeros as some sort of jedi messiahs,
, "In an effort to harness strong high-altitude winds, the company Altaeros Energies has developed a floating wind turbine that’s a cross between a traditional windmill and a blimp. After some successful tests, the Altaeros team is confident that this new levitating wind turbine will be a viable clean energy option for remote villages and military sites."
The AWT -- a wonderfully non-green invention. [Image Source: Altaeros Energies]
Altaeros founder, CEO, and AWT inventor Ben Glass brags of his "levitating" turbines, "For decades, wind turbines have required cranes and huge towers to lift a few hundred feet off the ground where winds can be slow and gusty. We are excited to demonstrate that modern inflatable materials can lift wind turbines into more powerful winds almost everywhere—with a platform that is cost competitive and easy to setup from a shipping container."
The platform is built upon helium -- a scarce natural resource mined out of the ground.
Helium supplies are running so low that it is estimated it may
run out within 30 years
. Aside from the environmental impact of drilling to extract helium from gas pockets in the Earth's crust, there's the issue that much of the most critical physics and chemistry research relies on helium. The helium crunch has literally led to millions of dollars in lost productivity at research centers such as
CERN's Large Hadron Collider
But no worries. Let's take the last of our helium and float it up in big blimps with wind turbines attached. Clearly this deserves some sort of prize for intellectual excellence.

Tree: A Peek-Through Picture Book by Britta Teckentrup
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A seasonal story as seen by the wise old owl.
This might be the third seasonal story I have read in a row, but Tree is absolutely the stand-out. The rhyming verse at the bottom of every page leads the reader through all the seasons, all the animals, all the sounds that leaves the reader with a calming feeling rather than any specific instance of brilliant narrative. Every spread is set up exactly the same, with the tree centered on the page, but it is the clever use of cut-outs that bring this picturebook to an original and well-crafted treat. The colors and transitions, with the constant of the owl unite this book around the necessary change of seasons, but remind the reader that this change is also a constant. Marvelous.

When it comes to desktop virtualization, PCMag editors unanimously chose Parallels Desktop. Software called Parallels Desktop provides hardware virtualization for Intel-based Macs, and as of version, even for Macs with Apple silicon processors. Since.
Parallels Desktop Crack is more enterprise-friendly and reliable, it runs more slowly and doesn’t officially support Apple Silicon hardware, making Parallels Desktop the better choice for most users. Even if you have an Apple Silicon Mac, you can’t utilize the shaky and unreliable freeware VirtualBox. While it is possible to run Windows on Apple Silicon with the help of the free, experimental UTM pp(Opens in a new window), which is based on the open-source QEMU emulation software, the process of setting it up is tedious, and it does not have the conveniences that are included in Parallels. When it comes to running Windows or Linux in a virtual machine (VM) on a Mac, Parallels Desktop has been the go-to solution for a long time.

'Tis the week after Easter and Praha is filled with wonderfully decorated eggs...real eggs...painted, colored, and intricately cut with design...eggs are sold on vendor carts, stores, used for decor in every little shop & cafe and hanging off trees in the neighborhoods. Sweet and beautiful. I have yet to see those crappy plastic eggs. So festive without being commerical. We missed the festivities though having spent the day in London and really not celebrating at all. I have many ideas for next year's decor though!
Praha is a charming city that grows on one's soul. Let me start by saying the weather has not been in our favor. Cold cold cold and snow flurries alternating with blue skies and brisk winds. The temp hovers around freezing. brrr. We are staying bundled and find ourselves ducking into cafes for lattes, mulled wine or beer to wait out passing storms. Despite the weather we are enjoying the sights. I am reminded of my year in Athens with the different shops for food rather than a giant supermarket and the buildings are similar with marble floors, small lifts and high ceilings. The city itself reminds me a bit of Firenze (Florence) with the beautiful red tiled roofs,colorwashed walls and winding rivers. However the dream of cheap beer and food is just that...a dream. I suppose if it was summer and the beer gardens were open and the street vendors were out in full force then the cheapness would abound however our dollar is not too strong. We have walked many miles, eaten new foods and visited several castles.
Our first evening here we shared a traditional Czech meal with Ron & Kitty...beer of course...roast duck, roast pork, pork knee (??), fried potato pancakes, flour & potato dumplings served with 4 kinds of cabbage. The most delish red cabbage...cooked down in some sort of simple sugar syrup. So tasty with a bite of pork and dumplings. Super rich and caloric but hey we are walking about 10 miles a day so we need the fat!!
I am so grateful for this opportunity to travel...to travel to Europe and to experince something new each day. Tomorrow we are spending the day in Prague and then flying to Italy.
More to come!

The public’s help is needed to protect the Okanagan’s apple industry from a neighbouring pest.
Apple maggot (Rhagoletis pomonella), a serious apple pest, is established in the Fraser Valley, Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
The Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys of B.C. remain the only commercial apple-producing regions in North America free of this serious pest.
“The introduction of these pests would be devastating to the hardworking families that make up our apple industry,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. “We grow the best fruit in the world in the Okanagan, so please don’t jeopardize our livelihood.”
The co-operation of all citizens will help prevent the spread of Apple Maggot from the Lower Mainland to B.C.’s commercial fruit growing areas.
“The apple maggot is a significant potential threat to our fruit crops,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “It is up to the people of B.C. to prevent the spread of these pests by not bringing fruit or fruit trees into our region.”
What can you do to help prevent the spread of apple maggot?
– Do not take any fruit (apples, crabapples, hawthorn, pears, plums) or any fruit bins or other containers used to hold apples, out of the Lower Mainland.
– Do not take plants with garden soil that were grown near fruit trees (apples, crabapples, hawthorn, pears, plums) out of the Lower Mainland.
– If you receive fruit from the Lower Mainland that appears to be infested, contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or a Ministry of Agriculture office.
– Do not compost any apples that appear to be infested with apple maggot. Place the fruit in a sealed plastic bag and bury it at least 30 cm deep, or take it to the local landfill for burial.
Please contact the CFIA at 604 557-4500 if you are planning to move any host fruit or host trees with soil, or host nursery stock, out of the Lower Mainland.
Another pest, the apple clearwing moth, (Synanthedon myopaeformis), has been found in Coastal B.C., Cawston, Keremeos, Oliver, North Osoyoos, Kelowna and Belgo. The larvae burrow inside the bark and may not be visible. To prevent this pest from spreading in the Okanagan and Creston Valleys, do not move fruit trees, soil and rootstocks from infested areas.
“We all need to do our part in preventing the spread of these pests,” said Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater. “The apple industry is very important to the Okanagan and B.C.’s economy; to support our jobs, our food supply, and our farming communities.”
– Apples are the most valuable edible tree fruit crop in B.C. About 58 per cent of all B.C. orchard land is planted in apples.
– About 91 per cent of B.C. apples are produced in the Thompson-Okanagan Region, 48 per cent of which is in the Okanagan-Similkameen valleys.
– B.C. produces about 24 per cent of the apples grown in Canada. The value of B.C. apples is about 45 per cent of all B.C. tree fruit production.
– More than three-quarters of the B.C. apple crop is sold fresh. The rest of the crop is processed.
– Apple juice is the most popular form of processed apples.

Architectural Photography: Adventures, Inspiration & Insider Savvy
Congratulations, your AEC firm has created a library of key completed project images you can use for everything marketing. You’re actively using them in your outreach campaigns, online branding, website and across your proposal/RFP submissions. You’re really getting all the ROI you can from each and every successful project showcasing your firm’s accomplishments. Do a celebration dance, that’s big!
You found this great architectural project image on the web similar to the type your firm designs and builds and you downloaded it. With the downloaded image you create a marketing campaign for your AEC firm that is sure to be a feather in your cap this year come review time. It’s a-ma-zing! You launch it across social, post it your website, and even send a targeted email campaign out to new prospects.
Get instant access to insider strategies—from a pro architectural photographer—on capturing the vision of your design, the quality of your construction, and the elegance of its execution in the built environment.
There are hundreds of reasons an architectural photography project can fail to meet expectations. Maybe your photographer didn’t ensure you had a thorough understanding of the process, or maybe too much time had passed to get a great shot. Maybe you didn’t vet your architectural photographer as thoroughly as you might have. As a client, there are many things you can do to improve the outcome of your architectural photography project (just ask your photographer!) Here are four things not to do.
Your firm’s photo shoot is now complete...it was a great success. Now what? Well, now it’s time for the post-production process to begin in earnest. It’s essentially the “digital darkroom,” and it happens between the completion of the shoot and final delivery of your professional architectural images.
So, you invested in a fantastic portfolio of professional images of your most successful architectural projects. That’s great! But now your original intention for these photographs (a website redesign, a design award submission, etc.) is in the past and you’re not sure what else to do with them. The good news is, your professional architectural images can be useful marketing tools for years to come.
Architectural photography is an investment. Professional photographs can be incredibly powerful tools for marketing, sales, and even recruitment, but the longer you wait to photograph a project, the more you stand to lose.
There are a lot of moving pieces involved in every architectural photography project, no matter the size. From security clearance to lighting to site preparation, who is responsible for which elements of a photo shoot?
Night photography is inherently dramatic. It’s bold. It stands out. It turns heads. That being said, nighttime photography is a lamentably underused architectural photography tool. It’s something many of my clients have never even considered, and it’s certainly not something a lot of architectural photographers take the time to tout and execute.
The greater Hartford, CT area is a hotbed for architectural innovation. With a plethora of historical spaces and a flourishing local economy, opportunities for AEC and development firms to make names for themselves abound here. With such an active industry community in Connecticut, it’s no surprise how many area awards events and galas are dedicated to honoring excellence in the built environment.
For most AEC firms, winning a prestigious design award is a huge opportunity. That kind of recognition brings with it lots of great free press, but it also validates a firm in the eyes of potential new clients. Awards can directly result in new business. As an architectural photographer, I’ve worked with many trusted industry professionals throughout the years. A select group of these individuals ultimately serve as the jurors that give out prestigious AEC industry awards like the AIA Connecticut Honor Award, the CREW CT Blue Ribbon Awards “Best in Class” Award, the CT ABC “Best in Show” Award, and the CBC Project Team Awards “New Construction” Award. Through our ongoing conversations with them I’ve learned a few tips and tricks for setting your design apart from the competition.

An "inclusion" is a material that is trapped within the layers of
glass when it fuses. Inclusions can give a piece texture, character, and color
that glass alone can't achieve.
The key criterion when using inclusions is that the foreign material, which
may have different expansion characteristics than the glass, is thin and weak
enough to allow the glass to expand and contract normally. If it is too thick or
strong, or has a dramatically different COE, it will cause the glass to crack as
The most frequently used inclusion is probably copper, but many other
substances may be used. This is an area where experimentation frequently pays
off with unexpected results.
• Metal inclusions
Gold foil was probably the first metal inclusion used in glass. Other
precious metals such as silver, platinum, and palladium can also be used, as can
less expensive metals such as copper, aluminum, and variegated red (an iridized
copper carried by some sign painting supply houses).
The four precious metal inclusions mentioned above tend to maintain their
color in the heat of the kiln, but that's not the case with some other metals.
Aluminum, for example, tends to turn black, while variegated red turns blue
(with thousands of tiny bubbles). Fine silver often turns yellow from the heat
of the kiln.
Copper also changes color in the heat of the kiln, but the nature of the
change is not always predictable. It can range from bluish-green to vivid
reddish-orange, with dozens of shades in- between.
With many of metals, best color results are obtained when the metal is
sandwiched between layers and only allowed enough air to partially oxidize.
When working with metal inclusions, it is critical to use only thin foil or
leaf thickness in order to allow the glass to contract and expand normally. Thin
wire can also be used if desired.
It's also possible to sprinkle metal powders, such as gold and silver, on
the top surface of glass before firing. Mixing these powders with glass enamels
can result in interesting decorative effects.
• Mica and mother of pearl
These natural substances, which are available in powder or chip form, can be
used to impart a sparkle to glass pieces. For best results they should be
applied sparingly (too much causes bubbles) and covered with a layer of clear
glass before fusing.
If you want to use mica flakes on the surface of the glass, first spray an
overglaze (any devit spray will do), then sprinkle the mica over it. The
overglaze acts as a binder to help keep the mica flakes in place.
• Fiberglass strands
Just as fiberglass fabric can be used to impart a texture to the bottom of a
fired piece, strands of fiberglass can be laminated between layers of glass to
achieve interesting effects.
To use this technique, the resin binder in the fiberglass must be allowed to
burn off. Inserting a few scraps of glass "spacers" between the top
and bottom layers of glass can help this happen efficiently. As the glass heats,
the resin will burn off and be totally gone by the time the top layer slumps
onto the bottom. This technique also has the advantage of minimizing trapped air
The fiberglass fabric, which generally maintains its color during the firing,
can also be used with enamels or with other kinds of inclusions to create
• Air bubbles
Rather than being a defect to be avoided, air bubbles can be encouraged and
exploited for their unusual shape and appearance. This is accomplished by
deliberately trapping the bubbles between layers of glass .
The basic concept behind encouraging air bubbles to form is the creation of
air pockets between the layers of glass. This can be done by sandblasting,
drilling, or arranging cut pieces to promote the forming of bubbles. The
tendency of bubbles to form at the intersection of ridges of glass can also be
Textured glass can also be used to promote the formation of bubbles. Two
pieces of ribbed textured glass, for example, can be aligned perpendicularly to
trap small bubbles at the intersection of the ridges.
Bubbles can also be created by using chemicals or solutions that generate gas
that is then trapped within the layers of the fused glass. Ordinary baking soda
is the most common substance used in this fashion.
To use baking soda to make bubbles, just mix about a teaspoon of baking soda
with a cup of distilled water, then brush or spray the mixture onto the top of
the glass. Allow to dry, then place a layer of clear glass on top of the layer
with the baking soda solution. Heat, fuse, and anneal normally. Bubbles will
form randomly in an uncontrolled pattern.
Using clear glass allows the bubbles to show up best. Varying the strength of
the baking soda solution can lead to different results.
• Found items
Items as diverse as leaves, twigs, and cellophane wrappers, can also be used
as inclusions by sandwiching them between layers of glass and using them to add
unusual effects and textures to glass pieces. These inclusions will often
carbonize from the heat of the kiln, sometimes leaving a fascinating "ghost
image" (also called a "heat signature") behind.
For fusers with money to burn, try sandwiching a US dollar bill between two
pieces of float glass and heating to 1500 degrees F. The result may surprise
