Shopping Outdoor Supplies And Equipment

Outdoor sports supplies include hunting, camping, hiking, fishing, climbing, skiing, cycling and swimming equipment, as well as shoes and clothing. Some stores specialize in just one type of supply. Others carry a wide variety of items to suit any need.Even a department store might have a small selection of items to choose from. The popularity of outdoors activities has never been higher.What most shoppers want to know is where they can get the best quality for the best price. Shopping for discounted and sale items is fun. Depending on the season, you can often find closeout items and when manufacturers introduce something new, retailers typically reduce the price of the older items in order to make room for the new.
Not all close outs are good buys, but as long as the store has a reasonable return policy, you should be able to shop with confidence. It is a good idea to avoid the items that are marked "no returns". Parts could be missing. If the item is a closeout, the parts might not be available from the manufacturer. So, you could be stuck with a useless item. Even a low-priced item is a waste of money if you cannot use it.It seems funny to see online outdoor stores. You are sitting inside at your computer in the comfort of your own home. Sometimes it is hard to get into the outdoors mood. But, if you can manage it, you could save a lot of money.It is not only traditional retailers that have websites. There are hundreds of new e-stores.

Some people are concerned about ordering from an e-store. They worry about security, customer service and the cost of shipping. It is easy to find online outdoor stores that address all of those concerns. You just have to be a smart shopper.For example, security concerns can be addressed by shopping only on secure sites. Look for "https" at the beginning of the web page address. The "s" stands for secure. The shopping pages of the site may be regular "http", but the payment page should be "https".Browse the site to find out how to contact customer service and look for free shipping offers. Many online outdoor supplies retailers offer free shipping with a minimum purchase. You'll enjoy the outdoors more if you have the right supplies. You'll find the best selection online.

Nintendo 3DS XL / LL supersizes glasses-free 3D gaming

Nintendo has revealed a new version of its glasses-free 3D handheld, the Nintendo 3DS LL, packing a 4.88-inch 3D top screen and a 4.18-inch lower touchscreen. The new model, announced on Nintendo Direct, will also go on sale as the Nintendo 3DS XL outside of Japan; both will have a 4GB SD card in the box, and measure in at 156 x 93 x 22 mm.The top panel will run at 240 x 800 resolution, while the lower screen will run at 240 x 320. That means the 3DS XL is far from HD gaming on the move, but it should make for a more usable console for those with poor eyesight or the elderly.
Aesthetically there have been some changes, with the black bezel around the display being ditched in favor of a case-color surround, and the corners of the handheld being more rounded. Still no native second circle pad, but the buttons under the touchscreen have been redesigned, and you still get the useful 3D effect adjustment control on the side.In Japan, the Nintendo 3DS LL will go on sale on July 28, priced at 18,900 yen ($235), and available in white, silver/white, and red/black. Meanwhile the Nintendo 3DS XL will follow on in the US on August 19, priced at $199.99 and available in red and blue.
The institute recommended that women consume approximately 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of total water each day, and men should average approximately 3.7 liters (125 ounces), which should be taken care of naturally in the daily intake of food, water and other beverages. About 80 percent of people's water intake comes from drinking water and other beverages, and the remaining 20 percent comes from foods such as fruits and vegetables.Heinz Valtin, a retired professor of physiology from Dartmouth Medical School who specialized in kidney research, says the eight-glasses-of-water myth may have originated in a 1945 report from the Food and Nutrition Board, the precursor to the Institute of Medicine. The board recommended people consume 1 milliliter of water for each calorie of food they eat in a day. (A daily diet of 1,900 calories equates to nearly 64 ounces of water.) The report went on to say that "most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods," but that second sentence is not always cited.Two reports last year supported the Institute of Medicine's 2004 guidelines. People who consume two to three liters of water daily - including what they get in food - had "significantly lower risk" of kidney disease as they aged.

Protecting Your Eyes With the Right Safety Glasses

As most of are aware, any time that you are going to be involved in an activity in which there is a chance of injury to your eyes, you should be wearing some form of eye protection in the form of safety glasses, a face shield or goggles. As the saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and when it comes to your eyes, you are likely to only get once chance to protect them. Should you fail to do so, your chances of permanent eye damage are much better than those of getting lucky.
The big question is whether you really want to risk losing your sight in one or both eyes just because you don't like wearing safety glasses or as so many people claim, they hinder your ability to see. The reality is that there is never a good reason not to take the proper steps to protect your eyes and if you don't, you may end up regretting that decision for the rest of your life. You may also find that more employers than ever are requiring the use of eye protection while on the job.
Over the years many factories have opted to require eye protection as machinery has increased in speed and the rate of debris being flung out into the work area has increased at the same time. The vast majority of all eye injuries occur as the result of flying debris, it can be metal shavings resulting from production on the line, rocks and dirt from a lawn mower or a wayward tool that is dropped by a fellow employee. The end result is the same, if you are not wearing some form of safety glasses; you are going to suffer an eye injury.
As flying debris is the most common cause of eye injury, you should be looking for safety glasses that feature either side shields or have wrap around lenses. You will find that there are a number of different styles of these glasses with both metal and plastic frames. While most employers prefer to offer those with plastic frames, if you are buying your own, you may find that those made with metal frames are more to your tastes.However, those with plastic frames are considered to be the safest at the frames resist bending if struck by a larger flying object and are approved for use in a variety of environments including areas where electric shock are a possibility. These safety glasses are also available with clear or tinted lenses to meet personal tastes and help in bright working conditions such as outside in the bright sun. If you or your employees need reading glasses, you can even purchase safety glasses with built in magnification to ensure that no one has to swap their glasses to read their paperwork and put their eyes at risk.
