![]() Its small size doesn’t mean small sound, however, as the speaker gets extremely loud and sounds great. The UE Wonderboom 2 is a fantastic rugged and waterproof speaker you’ll actually want to take with. We managed to get 12 hours playing at medium to low volume but if you want to play with Outdoor Boost all the time expect to cut the 13 hours in half. You can also drop the speaker repeatedly from 5ft so it’s a speaker that can take a beating whether you’re hiking or at the pool.Īlso improved on the Wonderboom 2 is the battery life - up to 13 hours compared to the previous model’s 10, according to Ultimate Ears - and we found that number to be fairly accurate. However, Ultimate Ears added the ability to play in true stereo if you pair another Wonderboom 2 where as the first gen could only link up to boost volume.Īs we mentioned earlier, the Wonderboom 2 has an IP67 rating, meaning it now brings with it dust resistance on top of last year’s IPX7 water resistance. Soundstage was a weak point of the original Wonderboom and it still is with the second generation. Image credit: TechRadar (Image credit: Lewis Leong) Last but not least, with an IP67 dustproof and waterproof rating, the Wonderboom should work just as well at the beach as it does by the pool. The other bit of good news is that, thanks to its wraparound grille, the Wonderboom 2 boasts 360 degrees of sound, which means you get the same audio quality wherever you are in relation to the speaker. Mids are excellent with vocals sounding natural and detailed. With Outdoor Boost enabled at medium volume, cymbals sound splashy and mids are more emphasized - which is a good thing - and there’s slightly more bass than the original Wonderboom, which helps bring some warmth to the sound while not compromising on the highs. While Outdoor Boost does increase overall volume, sound quality takes a noticeable dip when listening at lower volumes. There’s a bit of distortion at max volume, but if you keep it below 80%, music sounds great.īut let's spend a minute talking about Outdoor Boost, as it's the key feature that separates the original from the Wonderboom 2. The speaker plays much louder than you would expect, especially with the Outdoor Boost enabled. Sonically, the UE Wonderboom 2 is fantastic for its size. ![]() Image credit: TechRadar (Image credit: Lewis Leong) Performance It’s not a deal breaker but it’s a bit annoying that you can’t bring a single cable to charge all your devices. In 2019, you’d expect a speaker to come with USB-C to charge but alas, Ultimate Ears skipped it. All buttons are a membrane type for water resistance, which means they feel a bit squishy but aren’t difficult to operate.Īround the back you’ll find a plastic door that seals the speaker’s microUSB charging port. On the bottom of the speaker, you’ll find the Outdoor Boost button, which dials up the volume even higher for noisy environments. On the front, you’ll find big buttons for volume control. On top of the speaker are buttons for power, pairing, and playback. ![]() The only visual cues are the Wonderboom’s new color combinations and new elastic strap - the speaker chassis, buttons, and microUSB charging port all remain unchanged. If you put the original Wonderboom next to the Wonderboom 2, you’d be hard pressed to point out the newer one. The latest Boom 3 has newer and slicker features, sure, but even three years on since its debut, the tidy Boom 2 delivers a well-rounded performance at a decent price that's worth looking out for.Image credit: TechRadar (Image credit: Lewis Leong) Design Ultimate Ears has built on the success of its debut wireless speaker with added usability and improved performance, producing yet another winner with its Boom 2. The Boom, but better: that’s what it boils down to. Still, it will happily sprint along trouble-free at 80 per cent volume, which is still good for a party. We can vouch for it being louder than the original (not that it needed to be), though despite cramming in two larger drivers and passive radiators the Boom 2 still lets distortion creep in at the highest volume levels. State Of Mind, there’s tighter sync between the beat, piano loops and twinkly chimes. Mids and treble have more insight too and while it’s still lively rhythmically, its fancy footwork is that bit more surefooted. While it can’t chuck out the weight and power of the Megaboom, bass is better defined than on its predecessor. Underneath, the nimble strings have texture and rhythm and there’s more going on dynamically than you’d expect. That ease of delivery was a major pull of the original, but the successor moves things on with greater transparency. In Enya’s Caribbean Blue the ethereal waves of synths and layers of lush, cascading vocal harmonies ooze out of the Boom 2 effortlessly, with space and openness, never sounding strained or muddled. ![]() Many slow feeders offer adjustable levels of difficulty so that different dogs can adapt to the challenge of sniffing out their food. Slow feeders for dogs come in different forms, from bowls with different patterns and ridges that make it a little harder for the dog to get to their food, to snuffle mats and lick mats that encourage them to forage for their dinner. In this article, we’ll look at the purpose of slow feeders, the pros and cons of introducing these devices into your dog’s mealtimes, and whether a slow feeder is right for your furry friend. ![]() This can help prevent gastric issues and boost their mental stimulation. Slow feeders for dogs are specialized bowls or other devices that help your pet take their time while they eat. This makes mealtime fun and safe, since your dog won’t be able to inhale large amounts of food.Ever noticed how fast your dog gulps down their dinner, within microseconds of it landing in their bowl? Then they might benefit from a slow feeder. Consider working on various tricks for food, and break everything down into small steps. Use your dog’s regular food as rewards during obedience training or any other training. While many owners don’t necessarily have time to sit there and hand feed their dogs, you can use training time as mealtime. Hand Feed: Some dogs love being hand fed.Even if your dog’s muzzle can reach easily into the cups, the meal will be broken down into smaller portions, and the excessive gulping will be eliminated. Fill each small muffin cup with a little bit of food, and use the entire pan. Your dog will be forced to take tiny bites and pick up a lot of pieces with his tongue (which takes quite a bit of time), and therefore will eat much more slowly. Cookie Sheet or Muffin Pan: Spreading your dog’s food across a cookie sheet makes it very difficult for your dog to gulp down large amounts, especially if you feed kibble.There are many different puzzles available, from ones that lie flat on the ground to toys that dispense food while your dog plays with them, and all are viable options. They are similar to slow-feeders, as they are generally comprised of different nooks and crannies for your dog’s food to fit into, therefore making it impossible for your dog to take large gulps of food. Food Puzzles: Food puzzle toys are another excellent way to slow down your dog’s eating.Since the gap is big enough for your dog to reach the food, but not so big that he can take gulps, he’ll be forced to eat more slowly. This will create a gap between the two bowls that you can fill with your dog’s food. Take a bowl one or two sizes larger than your dog’s regular dish and set it down flat, then take your dog’s regular dish and place it upside down into the large bowl. You can also make your own slow-feeder bowl by using two bowls to feed your dog. All of them seem to do a great job, but you might want to read reviews to make sure people have had good success using a specific product with a dog similar to yours. Slow-Feeder Bowls: There are many different brands of slow-feed dog bowls available on the market specifically for dogs that eat too quickly.But there are some creative ways to help encourage healthy consumption, and with so many options, you’re almost certain to find one your dog enjoys. So how can we help our dogs eat at a slower pace? Unfortunately, we can’t just sit them down and have a talk about safety. ![]() (Hint: a dog with true GDV will retch and vomit mostly foam, rarely food.) However, if there is even a remote chance a dog appears bloated, it should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. It is just huge amounts of food that have been ingested sitting in the stomach. There is also a condition called “food bloat” which is not a true GDV. When a dog eats too fast, he gulps down an excessive amount of air along with his food, causing the expansion and, therefore, increasing the chances of bloat. This is immediately life threatening, and dogs will go into shock very quickly. Bloat (formally known as gastric dilatation-volvulus or “GDV”) occurs when the stomach (or intestines) expands and may twist within the abdomen. Second, eating quickly increases the risk of a serious medical condition called bloat. Gagging on their food will often result in vomiting and discomfort, as well. Unfortunately, eating so quickly can be quite dangerous for our dogs.įirst, they can choke, which is obviously life-threatening. These dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and breeds. They eat so fast you can barely blink an eye before the entire meal is gone. Others seem to swallow their food whole without even bothering to consider what it is they’re eating. Some dogs are slow eaters, taking their time to chew every little piece and enjoy each bite. ![]() He instigated that McBroom was not a real fighter and would beat him easily, assuming he was an inexperienced amateur with no combat experience.

But mostly you will feel as if you’re playing an expansion of the first one. There are new minigames and events not present in the first one, and that adds a lot to the experience. ![]() Gameplay: The gameplay is basically the same from the first title, but at a bigger Extenze in every way.

After the events that occurred on Monday, the children have been rezoned to an all new school. And many other classic kindergarten activites! WWE 2K16.Collect flower samples for a mad scientist!.Still, it has improvements over the first title, while remaining true to the original idea of the game. It’s not a bad thing, but we do get so many indie games that look similar that at some point it’s hard to tell them apart from one another. Instead of getting into much trouble designing and creating complex art for their games, they go the most cost/time-efficient way and do basic pixel art. Graphics and visuals: nowadays a lot of indie games opt for these kinds of visuals. But at the same time, it adds tons of new content, and it shows a lot of progress from the first title into this one. It maintains the basic style from the first one, not only in gameplay but also in visuals and more. But as a sequel to the first one, it does everything a sequel should do and does it right. Kindergarten 2, as a game, is just odd and strange. And when it comes to these kinds of games, it’s probably for the best to not give it much thought. Of course, most people who play the game just outright ignore this and try to just go through the game without giving it much thought. The more popular Binding of Isaac features a disturbing story of child violence, abortions, and much more. But other games deal with kid violence like this one. Just like the first one, it hides so many dark things under such a basic and innocent premise. This game is really messed up, and probably that’s what makes it a little more interesting. Just the usual stuff, right? Kid violence not meant for kids You know, all the usual activities of a kindergarten are here, helping to steal an inhaler, keeping your companions safe from being murdered, helping in an inmate war, hiding bodies, and much more. An even bigger kindergarten with much more space and tons of new activities. There are even 50 new Monster Mon collectible cards, and 30 new unlockable costumes. In a new school with new friends, 9 new story missions in over 15 new locations. As you may know, Kindergarten 1 takes place on Monday, and this sequel takes place on Tuesday.

This gives children an opportunity to regulate their own emotions and to calm down. It’s defined as time away – usually for one to five minutes – from what psychologists refer to as rewarding stimuli, which includes interesting activities and attention from the parent. MYTH: “Time-out is about making a child suffer.”įACT: Time-out is not meant to be a “punishment”. SO WHAT ARE SOME MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT TIME-OUT? The internet is great for distributing information, but it’s also notorious for publishing and re-publishing misinformation. Goldfish don’t have a 3-second memory, we use a lot more than 10% of our brains and you can’t see the Great Wall of China from space, but that hasn’t stopped many people from printing and believing those things over the years. There’s a lot we think we “know”, based on reading information and “common sense” that’s actually not correct. It’s just the latest example of how a modern myth is created. Unfortunately, by that time, the idea that “time-outs are bad” had caught the attention of media and websites around the world looking for attention-getting headlines. The article received widespread coverage, prompting the article’s own authors, Dr Dan Siegel (M.D.) and Dr Tina Payne Bryson (Ph.D.) to issue a clarification a month later. Then in 2014, an article was published in Time magazine with a headline and introduction that gave the impression that time-out was not only “hurting” children it was supposedly ineffective. Hollywood movies referenced it, parents adopted it en masse without learning important dos and don’t’s, and some people went to extremes, misusing time-out to punish children in unreasonable and harmful ways. ![]() Worse, it became distorted into something it was never meant to be. Eventually, time-out started to lose its meaning. But gradually, the term came to represent something it was never intended to be: a go-to parenting strategy for every child and every situation. Over the past 30 years, so many studies have proven that time-out works, that it got to the point where, as one article puts it, “the data was so consistent that journals got sick of publishing it”.īefore long, the words “time-out” became part of popular culture. If used this way, it’s an effective, non-harmful way to guide children’s behavior and help them learn to regulate their own emotions. The concept of time-out has been extensively researched and refined, but reputable sources all agree: time-out is effective if used as part of a loving, close, positive relationship and it should only be used sparingly and as part of a broad range of positive parenting strategies. Unfortunately, not only is this based on a misunderstanding of both terms, it’s confusing and potentially even harmful in some circumstances. ![]() These days, do a search for “time-out” and you may see a number of viewpoints, including that time-out should be ditched and replaced by something people are calling “time in”. This was the first time parents had been offered an effective but non-punitive way to guide children without using damaging, dangerous or harsh discipline. “Time out from positive reinforcement”, as it was first known, was developed in the 1960s. WILL THE REAL TIME-OUT (AND TIME IN) PLEASE STAND UP What you think you know about “time-out” could be wrong, depending on what you’ve read lately, or who you’ve been talking to. But that’s particularly the case when you’re getting confusing messages, and we’re talking about something as important as children’s development. It’s not easy to be a parent at any time. ![]() Have you tried MDZS? If so, what do you think of it? Please post a comment below. To which my answer is, have you ever stopped to consider that most ordinary water contains a measurable concentration of dihydrogen monoxide? I found a very helpful web site that discusses dihydrogen monoxide. The artificial sweeteners, they have too many syllables and anyway all chemicals are bad for you, people say. It’s better simply to drink ordinary water, people say. The caffeine is not good for you, better to have the natural caffeine from coffee or tea, people say, and anyway caffeine is a diuretic and so if your goal is to hydrate, the caffeine makes things worse instead of better. People who drink a diet soda hoping it will help you lose weight, they are all wrong, it actually tricks your brain into wanting more sugar, people say. Yes, yes, I know, plenty of people say you should not drink diet sodas at all. In other words, if you sit and listen while someone is quaffing a beverage, maybe you will hear something that sounds like the word “quaff”. Oh and the alert reader will of course be asking “what is the etymology of ‘quaff’?” The answer according to some sources is that the word is onomatopoeic, meaning “the word sounds like whatever we are talking about”. I am not making this up! I think it is very creepy but of course that is just one person’s opinion. We aim to show you accurate product information. This pack includes twelve 16 oz cans of Orange Citrus flavor Mtn Dew Kickstart to help you refuel and refresh. My snoozing through the release of Mountain Dew Zero Sugar was so thorough that I completely missed that the launch of this product was announced during the Super Bowl! The ad stars Bryan Cranston, who through the miracle of cgi appears on the screen not once but twice, and he is portrayed as the little girls in the movie The Shining. Mtn Dew Kickstart Orange Citrus combines the great taste of DEW with real fruit juice and just the right amount of kick to start your day. An equivalent volume of coffee might have 150 or 200 milligrams of caffeine. Here is a comparison of information from the package labeling for a 500-milliliter bottle of MDZS and a same-sized bottle of DMD: per 500 millilitersīy comparison a same-sized bottle of an ordinary cola drink might have a mere 55 milligrams of caffeine. ![]() ![]() Furthermore, Mountain Dew Zero Sugar also includes more caffeine than Diet Mountain Dew. ![]() Mountain Dew Zero Sugar has zero calories per 20 ounces, while Diet Mountain Dew still contains 10 calories per 20 ounces. Here’s what the manufacturer says about the two products:īoth products maintain the bold and refreshing taste that represents Mountain Dew. It seems that MDZS was released in January of this year, although I somehow snoozed through it and did not notice the existence of MDZS until yesterday. I then clicked around a bit on the Internet. To my tongue the DMD tastes a bit better than the MDZS. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a 12-ounce bottle of Mountain Dew contains 54 (milligrams) mg of caffeine. (This particular flight only had two beverages.) The answer is, no they do not taste the same. Here you get an idea of caffeine in mt dew or how much caffeine in mt dew present. I purchased some of it, and I poured a flight of low-calorie Mountain Dew beverages and did a blindfold taste test. It was only yesterday that for the first time I noticed the MDZS product in stores. There are plenty of reasons why it’s bad for your health, just from the high sugar content alone.If like me you quaff the occasional Diet Mountain Dew, then you may have shared my puzzlement at the presence of a new product in stores - Mountain Dew Zero Sugar. Pepsi-Co, which owns Mountain Dew, has faced lawsuits over severe mouth decay allegedly caused by the drink. Unless you’re in a pinch and it’s the only thing available, there are better choices and options for caffeine than Mountain Dew. Is Mountain Dew a Good Source of Caffeine?Īlthough it may have a good deal of caffeine, Mountain Dew is also full of sugar, artificial flavors, food dyes, and chemicals that are not great for your health. As for green tea, it only has around 45mg of caffeine per 12oz serving and isn’t as potent as Mountain Dew. A 12oz serving of black tea still has more caffeine than Mountain Dew at around 63mg, but it’s not nearly as much as coffee. Mountain dew may have a lot of caffeine compared to other sodas, but how does it stack up against your cup of coffee or tea? It’s safe to say that most coffee will have more caffeine than Mountain Dew, so you don’t need to switch to the lime green soda for a stronger caffeine buzz.Ĭomparing Mountain Dew to coffee at 54mg of caffeine 12oz per serving, coffee dominates it with a whopping 136mg of caffeine. ![]() As Britain became a maritime power and its growing navy required more ships, the practice of discarding the expensive cups fell out of favor. ![]() After taking a drink, the presiding official would pour what liquid was left onto the deck or over the bow and then toss the cup over the side of the vessel, to be caught by a lucky bystander (or sink into the ocean). Some member of the royalty or nobility would instead join the crew for a secular ceremony of drinking from the “standing cup”-a large goblet, usually made of precious metal and fitted with a foot and a cover-and solemnly calling the ship by her name. The religious aspect of ship christening died off in Protestant Europe after the Reformation, especially in Great Britain. In the Middle Ages, two friars would often board British ships before their maiden voyage to pray, lay their hands on the masts and sprinkle holy water on the deck and bow. These events almost always had a religious tone to them, and the name of a favored god or god of the seas was often invoked. The Babylonians sacrificed an ox, the Turks sacrificed a sheep, and the Vikings and Tahitians offered up human blood. The Greeks wore olive branch wreaths around their heads, drank wine to honor the gods, and poured water on the new boat to bless it. Many ancient seafaring societies had their own ceremonies for launching a new ship. The tradition of christening a new ship for good luck and safe travel goes way back. Before a ship slides from its berth into the water, it must first get hit on-by a bottle of booze, usually champagne. Here’s the lowdown on the history and physics of smashing some bubbly and launching a ship. ![]() This is not really a simple yes or no question. What we're talking about here is a very specific recommendation by the manufacturer for your specific vehicle. If you don't, just keep rolling the dice.Īlso remember, the oil companies advice is a very broad generalization and it's meant to make thier products more attractive to prospective buyers (advertizing hype). That is, if you want to keep the same engine going. The 2.7 has a chain that's got to be about 8 feet long from end to end! This, combined with the fact that it's an interference design, that it eats away the guides (normal wear and tear, it's designed this way) and the tensioner is esentially a hydraulic lifter that plugs with varnish over time, means you should follow the recommended change interval by the manufacturer. They also didn't run on tensioners and guides like the 2.7 does. When engines had a chain about a foot long and were non-interference designed, stretch was something that could be mostly ignored. The issue with the 2.7 chain is that it is so long, the stretch is magnified. ![]() The gears also wear with the chain, which just makes things even worse. the chain may slip a tooth or two or outright break from this "whipping" and excess movement. Result? The chain will whip around as it becomes too long for the tensioner and guide plates to compensate. the chain gets longer in tension because of the cumulative play in the rollers and links. But when you have anywhere from 200-400 links (maybe more in the 2.7, never counted), the cumulative play adds up to what most people call stretch. The holes in the plates that the rollers reside in also develop play. What happens is the rollers develope play with normal use. ![]() each link is composed of plates and rollers. *Definition of timing chain "stretch"- The chain does not actually "stretch". The timing chain on all engines has a maintenance interval no matter what you're read or been told.Ĭhains "stretch" over time and will eventually skip a tooth or two. |
