The Rubber Stamper magazine has been sold

15 years ago

Just got this off another board and thought I'd share since it pertains to our group!

Dear Readers & Industry Friends:

I am excited to inform you that The Rubber Stamper magazine has been sold to

Amos Craft Publishing. Amos Craft Publishing is a fine publishing company

with a tremendous amount of experience in the creative industries. I will have

the opportunity to work closely with them in the months ahead and together we

will create a plan to take the magazine to a new level.

The November/December 2007 issue will be the last issue of The Rubber

Stamper in its current format. However, Amos Craft Publishing plans to incorporate

The Rubber Stamper into its flagship magazine Crafts n Things and will

continue to provide you with 75+ card and stamping projects in every issue! Amos

Craft Publishing will fully honor the number of issues you have left on your

Rubber Stamper subscription so you will automatically receive Crafts n Things

for the remainder of your current subscription.

Amos Craft Publishing has several other excellent craft magazines including,

Painting, Pack-o-Fun and The Cross Stitcher. If you prefer, they?d be happy

to transfer your subscription to one of these other Amos Craft publications.

If you have any questions about your subscription, you can contact Amos

Craft Publishing toll-free at 1-866-222-3821 or via email at

customerservice@cntmag.com. Otherwise, watch for your first issue (January/February 2008) of

Crafts n Things to arrive in early December.

If you currently purchase copies of The Rubber Stamper in your favorite

retail shop, please be assured you can continue to purchase Crafts n Things in

the majority of all craft shops, bookstores, as well as grocery and convenience

stores.

It has been my pleasure to launch this magazine and watch it grow and mature

during these 11 years. I am certain that you will be pleased with the

changes that are planned and the exciting new format of your favorite stamping

magazine.

Warm Regards,

Tammy Keck

Publisher

As soon as I learned of this sale I wrote an email to the new publishing company urging them to keep The Rubber Stamper magazine as a separate magazine in its current format and noted that it is meeting a need that few, if any, other magazines meet for rubber stamp enthusiasts. I am urging everyone who enjoys the unique benefits of RS to do the same - maybe if enough loyal readers bombard Amos Pub. with this request they will start to rethink their plan. I know I am not the only one who has checked out Crafts N Things and not been inspired. As of the December issue, the editor letter says they added a section for cards and stamped items - although some projects were nice, something about the layout did not grab me. I also know that some of my favorite features of RS will have to be lost with this merge - probably all the great tips and product info. If you care at all, please contact the Amos company and let them know how much RS is wanted and needed! And if they are smart, they will hire the same editors who lost their jobs with very little notice!

I get my stamp (collectable stamps) from Amos and yes, let them know what you want and they will try. I too have noticed Craft and Things have changed.

rubber mulch for play area

Using some data from studies noted above, and some commercial product info plus a wee bit of math here's what I come up with ... Assume a 2" layer of shredded tire rubber mulch. That stuff has a bulk density of ~ 20 lbs/cubic foot. For making the calc's easy let's just use 100 sq. ft. A 2" layer over 100 sq. ft leads to ~ 17 cubic ft, which translates to ~340 lbs of the shredded rubber. At 1% zinc that rubber holds 3.4 lbs of zinc. Leaching 1% of that (0.034 lbs) over 100 sq ft of soil leads to an addition of Zn to the soil of ~7.5 ppm using a 6" soil depth. In my world 7.5 ppm Zinc in soil is a huge level. But, is 1% extractable reasonable? And over what time frame - a year, two, ten? I really don't think anyone knows, and it is probably highly variable depending upon the rubber, the weather where it is, the soil and terrain. What this does bring to mind though is the impact will probably be time dependent with longer time in place being a greater concern. So to the OP question - does it poison the soil? I believe the answer is it depends - on how much rubber mulch, the soil, the weather, the nature/quality of the mulch, how long it is in place, and finally the sensitivity of the plants of interest to soil Zn levels.

Horticulture magazine leaving Boston
Q

My first thought would be an institution--university, established botanic garden etc-- with a connection to your father or one of the horticulturists you mention. If it is New England, consider UMass Amherst, which absorbed the Stockbridge School of Horticulture, the Arnold Arboretum, Tower Hill (Worcester County Horticultural Society), UNH and others. It's hard to say without knowing who is involved--ie, your father and his correspondents. Your friend should contact Maureen Horn at Mass Hort's library. She's very nice. For a fee, they will get out of their Boston storage locker records someone might need. If they still have them. And sad to say, much "walked away" over the years of gross neglect and incompetence at Mass Hort. But all is not lost so it's worth checking.

Need Advice to Neutralize Rubber Odor from Oriental Wool Rug
Q
Comments (3)
IÃ¯Â¿Â½ve always thought my wool rug smelled like sulfur or burnt rubber, It has smelled for years and just gets worse. IÃ¯Â¿Â½ve had it outside for days and IÃ¯Â¿Â½ve used several types of Carpet Fresh powder. All have been temporary fixes. I bought a commercial gallon jug of Febreze because it advertises that it bonds with odor producing properties. My rug is big (8Ã¯Â¿Â½ x 11Ã¯Â¿Â½). I hung it on the railing of my deck on a clear dry day. I connected a spray jug onto my garden hose. The type of jug that you put lawn chemicals in(Ortho Dial N Spray). I was desperateÃ¯Â¿Â½ This rug is so big, I could easily smell it in the next room. I also paid well over $1000 for it. The commercial Febreze is supposed to be mixed at a 10 to 1 ratio. The highest setting on the Ortho Dial N Spray is 8 oz per gallon (a 22 to 1 ratio)Ã¯Â¿Â½ half the recommended mix. I had no other way to get a richer mix, so I went with it and figured I could always spray it again later. I absolutely soaked both sides of the rug. It took three days to dry ! ItÃ¯Â¿Â½s been almost two months now and no small. ItÃ¯Â¿Â½s safe to assume that if I do have to pray it again, it wonÃ¯Â¿Â½t be for a very long time and should take longer for the odor to come back with each application.

Well Stacy that's good to know that it's the post office doing it. That way I dont have to speak the mailman. I know this is not a big deal but it happens with every single one of my magazines and it's one of those little irritants in life. In the grand scheme of things I know it's petty. And yes, at least I'm getting it. I can see bending it and putting a rubberband around it but to HARD crease it just ruins it. I'll call the post office today and voice my complaint. Truthfully though, I think in the future, I'd rather buy my magazines at the grocery store and have a flat magazine that will lay nice on my coffee table than get $$ off on a subscription and get it all mangled. Maybe I should write the magazines and tell them to stamp DO NOT FOLD on their outer covering? Nah, they'd think I was an old woman with nothing better to do than complain about a folded magazine!! hahahaha!! I guess I am huh?
