Tips for Using Ice Therapy on Strains and Sprains
Using ice for acute soft tissue injuries is a standard first-line measure and it is even used in the rehabilitation of chronic injuries. Also called cryotherapy, immediate ice application after a strain or sprain can decrease swelling and pain, which hastens recovery and prevents further injury.
The acute phase of an injury is the first 24 to 48 hours. Ice application should be used in this phase of the healing process and then discontinued. Ice treatment is a common home remedy for bumps, muscle pain, and other minor injuries and many of us use a bag of crushed ice or even frozen peas for this purpose quite often. However, there is a right way and wrong way to use ice to treat soft tissue injuries.
Basic Guidelines for Ice Application
Use a bag of melting ice water wrapped in a towel. Ice alone is not cold enough and commercial ice packs are inconsistent, either being too cold or not cold enough. However, as part of a first aid kit for when ice is not available commercial cold packs should be considered a viable option. A bag of frozen peas, as mentioned above, can work in a pinch but ice water is more effective at reducing the temperature of the soft tissues.
The cold compresses used for sports injuries should not be confused with the commercial ice packs such as Rubbermaid's Blue Ice packs which are used for keeping foods cool in coolers. These are much too cold and should never be used on injuries as they could damage the skin and even result in nerve damage.
The goal of cryotherapy is to reduce the temperature in the muscle or joint and to sustain this reduced temperature during the initial recovery phase from an acute injury. The best time frame tends to be around ten minutes. Any longer than that and you risk damaging the skin and possible pain within the muscles, which counter productive as it causes the muscle to spasm. So icing too long at once will further injure the tissue. The target temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit or ten degrees Celsius.
Using short and repeated applications will allow the skin temperature to return to normal but the muscle temperature will remain low. Direct ice application is not good for sustained cooling of muscle since there will tend to be a reflex "heating" of the tissues. During competitive sports situations ice is the best for an immediate return to play.
Keep in mind, however, that reflex and coordination can be affected by the ice application. When you sprain an ankle and then ice it down your ankle is not going to be very usable. In these compression wrapping is also used to stabilize the joint.
If an immediate return to activity is not needed, as with training related injuries, then stop training immediately, rest, and apply ice for periods of ten minutes. In between wait for the skin temperature to return to normal, then repeat.
Other Cryotherapy Methods
Cold water immersion can be used for joint injuries in the first 24 hours and there is some evidence that immersion is a more effective way to reduce swelling in the joint than ice. It is a direct and concentrated way to cool the area. Immersion is only useful for injuries of the hand or foot, however. For ice therapy to be useful the cooling must be concentrated to the injured area. When injuries occur to other parts of the body immersion requires large area to be submerged and cooled rather than just the injured area.
Instead of ice packs, ice massage is sometimes recommended. The simplest way to use ice massage is to freeze water in a small paper cup and then rip off the top of the cup to expose the top layer of ice. Massage the inured area with circular motions for periods of ten minutes. This method is often said to be superior to ice water bags. However there is no reason to support this conclusion. Although massaging ice directly across the skin feels colder, the goal is not to freeze the skin but to reduce the temperature in the underlying soft tissues. Lowering the temperature of the skin too quickly will simply make it more difficult to sustain the ice application. The cold from ice massage tends not to penetrate as deeply or last as long
Regardless if one keeps the ice cup moving, ice massage is extremely uncomfortable and most people will not want to keep it up for ten minutes. Normally for ice therapy to be effective a buffer is used between the cold pack and the skin to sustain the treatment long enough to slowly cool the tissues without injuring the skin or causing pain. So plastic bags filled with ice water for all soft tissue injuries and cold water immersion for hand and foot injuries are the most effective means of cryotherapy.
Discontinue ice therapy after the first 48 hours. Prolonging the use of ice after this initial period may inhibit rather than hasten healing. Heat application, however, should still be avoided until at least 72 hours after the initial injury. Please note that these tips are for informational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice.

Gott Thermos - A Diamond In The Rough
I recently got a 2 quart Rubbermaid Gott Thermos for 4 dollars from a bargain bin and didn't realize how useful and precious it can be. First of all, when people hear the word thermos, they imagine one of those tall, thin, vacuum flasks used by industrial workers to store hot coffee. The Gott Thermos I bought is not like that. It's basically an insulated plastic jug cooler similar to the more recent Coleman coolers. But it serves the same purpose, it's vacuum sealed and insulated so anything stored in it will maintain its temperature for a much longer time.
Another thing is that Gott thermos brands are rare and extremely hard to find these days, resulting in a cult-like following among collectors, so I guess finding it being sold cheap on a thrift store makes me all sorts of lucky, despite its importance and rarity being lost on me. I basically just bought the Gott thermos because I know I could have some use for it, and partly because it brought back memories from my childhood. As my childhood was spent in a school where plastic jugs and coolers similar to it were used in abundance.
The Gott thermos I brought home had a white colored lid with spout and handle, matched with a blue body. It's ten inches tall and six and a half inches around in size and can hold 2 quarts of water with temperatures ranging from hot, cold, or lukewarm. I haven't tested its limits but it can keep the temperature consistently for 4 hours. I haven't tested it much longer than that.
Lately I've been using the thermos more and more and becoming increasingly dependent on it. I put iced water on it and lug it along to the gym during my weekly workouts, and even got weird stares from officemates when I started bringing it to the office filled with hot coffee. I admit that hot coffee looked out of place in what looks like a water jug meant for cold water, but it works perfectly well for coffee as well. I think the box and paper that came with it explicitly mentioned said fact.
I also took it to the park a few days ago, having filled it with hot soup. It was perfect for the cold morning, just sitting on a bench with a Gott thermos and a plastic spoon having my way with the soup. I admit I must have looked like a well-dressed hobo that time, but it felt good and relaxing. It's a little convenience that may have gone a long way towards feeling refreshed and active longer and easier throughout the day.
Right now the trusty Gott thermos is beside my PC, as I find that filling it with hot coffee meant that I could save some time going back and forth from the computer table to the kitchen just to fix myself a cup, and I can also take my time in drinking the coffee without worrying about it going cold on me. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but the 6 dollar thermos that nobody notices already became a large part of my daily life, and I hope that it's as durable and long lasting as its box claims.

Greaseman Shooting a Commode and Cooler With M1 Garand
I, Greaseman, get the bright idea of using my shiny new camera to video my M1 Garand in action! I find a half of a Commode, toilet, in the woods, carry it to my shooting area, and proceed to cut it in half with one shot.......it works, so I fill up a disabled, broken, cooler with water........I sat the Commode lid on top and ultimately miss the first shot on it.........somehow the shell ejection from that shot deflected off of my Skynyrd hat and poked me in the eye.....I was only momentarily stunned, then I finished it off with 6 more rounds, then I proceed to charge, like an idiot, with my Bayonet, right smack into the thing.......I slip in the mud and bust my rear, and get muddy......I finish off by rapidly firing 9 rounds from my H&R .22 Revolver. It's Pretty Sweet! - TAW.net

Secrets of Thermoforming
Are you aware that some of the things we use in our everyday lives are plastics? When we talk about convenience, durability, efficiency, stability, usefulness and practicality now days, we use plastics.
One example of it Zip-lock plastic bags for storing left over foods and use for packing foods when going outdoors. Another one is, Coleman or Rubbermaid coolers use to keep preserve foods while camping outside or going out of town and water jugs to keep our beverages cool and a handy gadget outdoors.
And a lot more of plastics used for everyone's convenience. But these are not just ordinary plastics! We make sure its durable; reliable, tough, helpful, easy to use and it costs less than other products out in the market and Thermoforming has been a part of it. Want to know the BIG SECRET behind it?
Thermoforming is one of the procedures being done to manufacture plastic. A plastic sheet or film is used that can be easily soften up when heated and becomes hard again when it cools down.
The kind of plastic used in Thermoforming can undergo through melting and freezing without changing its chemical state and it can be re-used again. The plastic sheet or film is heated between specialized heaters in order to form the product with its usual temperature range.
Then it is placed in a temperature regulated metal table or molder until it is cooled down. The plastic formed from the molder will be taken out of the sheet. Used or excess plastic sheets are being recycled in order to form new plastic products out of it.
This special procedure is being processed to form plastic used for computers, machines, and other special equipments for medical, electronics, and industrial products.
It is a technological breakthrough for its:
1. Reliability
2. Convenience
3. Easier to produce
4. Ability to form small and large objects for that specific product
5. Lower costs of production
6. Great and unique design
7. Firmly and nicely furnished
8. Shorter time for production
9. Can work on any type of weather conditions, high and low temperatures.
In the history, it is stated that Thermoforming is one of the oldest plastic manufacturing procedure. In the year 1890's, Baby rattles and Teething rings are formed out of plastics using Thermoforming procedure, which the industries had a hard time developing its new products.
The year 1930 came when some developments are made in its plastic materials; until it grow and went successful in the late 1930's in Europe.
Thermoforming has two general process categories called the thin gauge and the so called heavy or thick gauge. Thin gauge is used for thin sheets of plastics and can be directly processed with regulated temperature.
Unlike the heavy or thick gauge, the plastic used there is thicker than the thin plastic sheets and it still need to cut into pieces before being processed.
Instead of using the regulated temperature for thin plastics sheets in order to form a product, the temperature is higher than the regulated temperature in heavy or thick gauge.
Heavy or thick gauge was formed during the World War II on aircraft windscreens and machine gun turret windows in aircrafts.
Now a days, Heavy or thick gauge parts are used in permanent structures as additional parts in cars, trucks, refrigerating units, bathroom accessories such as showers, plastic faucets, plastic doors and toilet seats, electronic and electrical equipment.
It is a big benefit for companies who use these kind of procedure for their plastic products it's lower costs, durability, usefulness, and productivity. It also weighs less than other ordinary and special types of plastics. Of course, it's also helpful for the consumers and users of this kind of plastic.
A lot of Industries, big and small companies indulge and gain on to this kind of procedure. Their clients prefer more of this kind of procedure for its unique design, stability, efficiency and value. Their aim:
Lower material and production costs, plus Mass production of products, equals BIG MONEY,
in order to be successful in this kind of business.
