Deluxe Saxophone Pipe
For the musician or soulful friend, the Deluxe Saxophone Pipe is a memorable and fun gift. Included are rubber mouthpiece and realistic molded keys.

It may be classified as "novelty" item, but don't be mistaken -- it's a fully functional pipe. The pipe is even made out of zinc which keeps it cooler than other materials like aluminum and steel.

Ships with a pack of 5 free metal screens, so you get all the smoke and none of the ash.

This is music to the lungs. MSRP $20.00

Mini Bamboo Pollen Sifter Box
Handsome and efficient, this Bamboo Pollen Sifter Box is made from high-quality bamboo and features a 100 micron mesh screen in the middle, to help filter the pollen from your herb. The filtered pollen is collected in the bottom catch tray the box, which is lined with a piece of tempered glass to make for easy collection.

The box features removable top and bottom pieces, which are secured with high strength magnets to ensure that your herb and pollen is secure at all times.

Dimension are 5 1/8" x 3 1/4" x 1 1/2". MSRP $35.

One-Hitter Bat hits a Home Run
Made of gorgeous, dark ash wood this One-Hitter bat is an updated spin on an old classic.  The handle is spring-loaded with an ash ejector.  Just give it a push and it knocks out the ash from the end of the one-hitter.

Outside dimensions are close to a "normal" aluminum bat - 3" long by 3/8" in diameter.   These typically fit the Green Goddess Supply 4" dugouts as a replacement for the standard bat. MSRP is $10.00.

The big gift under the tree. “The Armoire” is the ultimate in home growing.
The Armoire is such a substantial and beautifully designed piece of furniture that even your most disapproving aunt won’t suspect you own a robust home grow system that could save you thousands per year in comparison to a dispensary.

With its furniture-inspired look, child proof lock, ergonomic design and “Simplified, Results-Driven Nurturing Protocol,” The Armoire is specifically designed to deliver impressive results every cycle, easily and with minimal maintenance. The Armoire requires only two minutes of care daily to garner an impressive yield of 3-5 oz of dried, hand-crafted flower in as little as 60 days.

The Armoire, a turnkey solution to home growing, removes the mystery and challenge. If you can water a house plant once a day, then you can now grow clean, healthy, top shelf bud quickly and easily, with no experience necessary.

The Armoire is available in three finishes - Moderne Black, Cherry and Barn Board (aka “Shabby Chic”).  The Armoire’s Cherry and Barn Board models are priced at $1,395 and the Moderne Black signature model is currently priced at $1,595 MSRP.

Gaithersburg, Maryland (release-news) September 25, 2020 - The Germantown HVAC Company, Presidential Heating & Air, recently created a blog post educating readers on how to choose the best AC unit for them in 2020. The blog reviews top, and some up-and-coming, brands in the air conditioning industry. It goes on to review what to look for in an AC unit to make the best fit for the individual buyer.

The blog begins by comparing the top 5 brands in air conditioning units on the market in 2020. The first listed is Trane, which is known for high-quality products. Trane builds their own coils and compressors and have a high-energy rating, making them a premium product with a matching price tag. Their units are also made with a modern and sleek design.

Next is Amana, which builds all units in the U.S. Amana offers a mid-range and affordable range of units for the average American family. They are also rated with high-efficiency and offer a few models with smart technology.

Carrier, like Trane, is a premium choice in brands and a pricier choice, but has been an industry leader for decades and the top quality to show for it. Carrier has a great reputation and has been one of the highest-rated brands consistently. Lennox is known for their availability of energy-efficient units and has the highest energy rating on the market. These units also come in a wide price range, allowing for a good choice for any budget. Rheem is an up-and-coming brand in the AC unit market, as they have usually been known for their water heaters. However, their products are efficient and come in budget-friendly prices.

Energy efficiency should be a huge consideration for all potential buyers. This is important both for the environment as well as keeping down the costs in energy bills. There are three symbols that denote different aspects of every unit's energy efficiency. First, SEER and EER stickers tell how much electricity is needed to run at a rate of 95 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside and are a good indicator of how the unit will operate in different seasons. Buyers should also look for an EnergyStar certified unit, which is a government-backed rating on efficiency.

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a new AC unit, and buyers want to know their choice will be a long-lasting investment into their home. The experts at Presidential Heating & Air can help with the choice and installing any unit. Contact the professionals at Presidential Heating & Air at (301) 900-5559 or by visiting https://www.presidentialheatandair.com/.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published final significant new use rules (SNURs) relating to long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylate (LCPFAC) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonate chemicals. It also makes inapplicable the exemption for persons who import a subset of LCPFAC chemicals as part of a surface coating on articles.

The Final Rule contains a number of important changes relating to 40 CFR Part 721 ‘Significant New Uses of Chemical Substances’. These include:

• Amendment to §721.9582 ‘Certain perfluoroalkyl sulfonates’ – requires imported carpets containing the listed perfluoroalkyl sulfonates to submit a significant new use notice (SNUN)
• Completely new requirements for SNUs under §721.10536 ‘Long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylate chemical substances’ – these SNUs relate to:

-     Manufacture/import or processing of LCPFAC chemicals in §721.10536(b)(1) for use as part of carpets or to treat carpets (e.g. for use in the carpet aftercare market)

-     Manufacture/import or processing of (20) LCPFAC chemicals in Table 1 to §721.10536(b)(2) for any use after December 31, 2015

-     Manufacture/import or processing of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts, including those in Table 2 to §721.10536(b)(3), for any use

-     Manufacture/import or processing of LCPFAC chemicals, except for the (20) LCPFAC chemicals in Table 1 to §721.10536(b)(2), for any use other than the use already described in sub-bullet point 1 above

• Allowing LCPFAC chemicals, including the (20) LCPFAC chemicals in Table 1 of §721.10536(b)(2) as well as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts, including those in Table 2 of §721.10536(b)(3), to be used in antireflective coatings, photoresists, or surfactants in photo microlithography and semiconductors or similar components of electronic or other miniaturized devices, without reporting as these are not considered as SNUs
• Providing a list of specific LCPFAC chemicals as well as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts with defined uses that are not considered as SNUs and will not be subject to reporting
• Revokes SNUN exemptions for a person who imports the following:

-     Carpets containing an LCPFAC chemical listed in §721.10536(b)(1)

-     Articles with a surface coating containing an LCPFAC chemical in Table 1 to §721.10536(b)(2) or PFOA and its salts, including those in Table 2 to §721.10536(b)(3)

‘Article’ is defined in 40 CFR 704.3 as a manufactured item which:

• Is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture
• Has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use
• Has either no change of chemical composition during its end use or only those changes of composition which have no commercial purpose separate from that of the article, and that result from a chemical reaction that occurs upon end use of other chemical substances, mixtures, or articles; except that fluids and particles are not considered articles regardless of shape or design

Examples of articles with a surface coating may include:

• Apparel
• Automotive components
• Carpets
• Electronic components
• Furniture
• Outdoor equipment

The Final Rule was published in July 2020. It requires persons to notify the EPA at least 90-days before commencing the manufacture, import, or processing of LCPFAC and perfluoroalkyl sulfonate chemicals for SNUs – December 24, 2020.

Notification will initiate an EPA evaluation of the conditions of use in relation to the SNU. Manufacturing, importing, or processing cannot commence until the outcome of the review and the completion of any required actions.

Stakeholders should be aware this Final Rule excludes ongoing use as these are not the subject to the SNUR.

It came into effect on September 25, 2020.
