I thank the Beet quite often for introducing me to The Gilded Moose. It is one of the funniest, smartest, snarky sites out there and today they published quite an amusing letter to Miss Posh Spice who recently moved into Meg Ryan's old digs in Bel Air.
Dear Posh Spice,
Welcome to Los Angeles. We are so excited to have you here! Also, congratulations of purchasing your new home in Bel Air, the one you bought (allegedly) from Meg Ryan for 20 million dollars. I bet for that much you get a full kitchen with a built in dishwasher (just think, no more dish-hands, Posh!)
But one part of this whole thing is troubling to us: WHERE WILL MEG RYAN LIVE NOW????!!! Is she just supposed to live in her car. Her car doesn't even have a roof anymore after Puente ripped it off when he was on meth. Maybe she can stay with friends for a few months, but that gets old after a while. And Billy Crystal's couch is not very comfortable AT ALL. Everyone knows that.
Look, all I'm saying is think about the people you're displacing when you move into an area like Bel Air and start to gentrify it, okay. Meg Ryan has feelings too.
The Gilded Moose
When the Brits move in its all over…Where will fallen A-listers go now? Burbank? Glendale?


text: Coogan started every varsity game at defensive end in his three seasons with the football team and earned a spot on the All New England team as a senior. He blocked numerous punts and field goal attempts and recovered many fumbles in his three years. Two of his most memorable recoveries occurred in his senior year. The first was at Marquette on the Marquette one yard line which resulted in the game winning touchdown for Holy Cross and a 7-0 final score. The second recovery came in the Boston College game when their quarterback fumbled on the Holy Cross one yard line. Coogan recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchback, preventing a score. The Purple thus won the game 21-7. He competed on Crusader teams which achieved an overall record of 20-9-1, winning 60% of their games. Coogan's innumberable fans from Worcester and beyond honored him at halftime of his final home game against Temple in November of 1952, a day which Mayor Holmstrom of Worcester proclaimed as "Owen Coogan Appreciation Day."

Full detailed profile on Fight Announcer Played by Teel James Glenn on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Teel James Glenn
Birthday: 1955/03/02
The ring announcer calls in the fighters and Cris takes a hard shot to the face. Everyone cheers as Cris gets a couple shots in of his own. After the first round, Cris's opponent rubs a clear liquid on Abbot's gloves. As they fight, Cris feels his eyes burning, he's dizzy and can't see straight. Abbott comes after Cris hard! After the round is over, Vincent tells Cris to throw in the towel, but Cris refuses! The bell sounds and Cris gets a few jabs in. They go back and forth until Abbot strikes Cris hard, opening the cut on his head. Cris is dizzy again, but fights back, knocks Abbott to the ground!

Ranch gives kids feel for life in saddle
Using a cookie sheet and mug, Amber Harris led Jane around the inside of the stable at Coyote Creek Ranch.
"Don't look down, Amber!" shouted Kris Holder, owner of the ranch, as the 14-year-old finished her turn of practicing holding her thumbs the right way when showing her horse for the Warrick County 4-H Fair.
On this particular day at Coyote Creek Ranch, 18 children of all ages were practicing for the Warrick County fair in July, but on any given day children are everywhere.
They can be found milking a goat, cleaning out stables, trying to catch chickens, grooming a horse or simply playing football.
Beyond the laughter and hard work of the children are the sounds of a rooster crowing from the beam of the barn or a horse neighing from a stall.
When Kris Holder bought the property, her hope was to start a therapeutic riding program. But the ranch is serving a different purpose these days as a training ground for children who love horses.
Eighteen-year-old Lindi Bro-shears has been riding horses most of her life and said she enjoys the freedom she feels when she's on one of the animals.
Broshears has been going to Coyote Creek off and on since she began riding.
"(Kris) has really good advice and she helps you out a lot," she said. "She's definitely a role model for me."
Even the parents of the students are involved. Tammy Faulkner's three children all ride horses and participate in activities at Coyote Creek.
"They're learning confidence and responsibility in life," she said.
"A lot of them hope to be veterinarians, so they get firsthand experience on what could be wrong with it, what to do, education on keeping vaccinations up and worming.
"They're being responsible for themselves and have the self-confidence that they know that they can do it even when they're scared."
Tammy Taylor, who has daughters who spend time at the ranch, added, "They learn that even if you're sick that living thing depends on you."
Faulkner said the children also are building friendships.
"These kids are working together and playing together and just kind of support each other," she said. "They're always taking care of each other."
The youngsters, who spend many of their afternoons and evenings there, said it's the one place they can go where they aren't judged because they enjoy riding and taking care of horses.
"Everybody's like me; they love horses and they love being around them. Other people don't understand," said Sarah Smith.
"I like being able to come out in just pajamas or shorts; your hair can be a mess and your horse doesn't care what you look like. They'll love you just the way you are. You could be having the worst day and come out and see your horse; it just makes it all better."
The youngsters at Coyote Creek said it's a place where they learn and where Holder makes them feel like her own children.
"It's a very, very fun-loving place," Broshears said. "I will totally bring my kids here when I have them.
"It's a horse place."

Plan says Torridge is a good wind energy area
Posted: October 04, 2012|
THE leader of Torridge District Council is angry after finding a Devon County Council document designating Torridge as a prime site for wind turbines to be erected.
Councillor Barry Parsons, who is also a Devon county councillor, has been trying to find out why the district has been increasingly bombarded with wind turbine applications in recent years.
He said: "I have been aware for some time that Torridge has been identified as a key area for renewable energy, namely wind turbines.
"I have been asking various people if they know why this is and then the answer arrived when the Devon Structure Plan was brought to my attention."
The plan was created by Devon County Council in 2001 and adopted in 2004, and it will last until 2016.
Its "assessments of wind based energy potential diagram" shows where areas of search for wind-based energy production can take place.
This area covers Torridge compared to South Devon where there is no designation.
Mr Parsons added: "It explains a lot.
"Wind turbine developers say Torridge is a designated area but never say why, now we know why.
"I want to get to the bottom of this, why has Torridge been singled out?
"There are some areas of North Devon and small bit of Mid Devon but not the whole district like Torridge."
The county council said the structure plan related to "strategic scale" wind farm development, rather than individual wind turbines, which district councils would need to assess against local policy objectives.
It said: "Torridge features in the Devon Structure Plan (within the context of wind based production) because most importantly it, and some parts of West and North Devon, were identified in a number of technical studies as having the greatest potential in terms of viable wind resource.
"These areas are best placed to deliver the strategic scale of renewable energy generation that is required for Devon to meet its renewable energy generation targets.
"The plan identifies areas of greatest potential, excluding any national or county-wide landscape designation areas."

Now that she's no longer running Tin Can Ale House, former co-owner Kelsey Breunig has set up shop at Eleven, where she's begun booking shows under the title Kelsey Allyn Booking.
In an email interview, Breunig says she got a cold call from the City Heights bar soon after she left Tin Can. At Eleven, she'll share booking responsibilities with Another Zeke Productions, and she plans to put on about 15 to 20 shows a month featuring local and touring bands.
"I hope to begin placing shows at other venues as well very soon, or at least trying to," she says. "But my main focus is Eleven right now."
When she was at Tin Can, she had a hectic schedule; lately, she's had more time to "enjoy life." But she's keeping busy, conducting all the business that goes with setting up shows. "I am not very good at standing still," she says.
Meanwhile, co-owners Patrick Conway and Justin Rodriguez are putting their own mark on Tin Can. They've begun serving cocktails and introduced a free, Monday-night series to highlight country, folk, bluegrass and Americana music. The first show kicks off with a performance by Justin John on Monday, Sept. 10.
Also, they recently got a set of 15-inch monitors and an 18-inch, 500-watt subwoofer.
"You can really feel it in the floorboards when we crank up the 36 Chambers," Conway says.
Hip-hoppers Apex Realm will play at Mélange, a fundraiser at Kava Lounge on Friday, Sept. 7. Organized by the local arts-based charity Project Donate, the show benefits East Hill Academy, a school for children with autism and associated learning disabilities. Jonny B & The Avenues, Zochi, Dexter Riley Xperiment and DJ Hevrock will also play.
Experimental rockers Platypus Egg will celebrate the release of their new album, Little Street of Happiness, at Electric Ladyland Art and Music Center (4944 Newport Ave. in Ocean Beach) on Saturday, Sept. 8. The Orphics, Avradelix and Unidentified Fusion Orangement will also play.

Fall leaves of green
While the leaves on the trees are turning and falling, leaves of another sort are flooding the South Durham Farmers' Market.
The heat loving vegetables of summer like peppers and tomatoes have faded as the cool weather crops come in to take their place. Our farmers are harvesting beets, carrots, potatoes, broccoli and, most abundantly, greens of all kinds. We have Swiss chard, arugula, mustard greens, collards, cabbage, spinach, kale, romaine, bok choy, pac choy and mesclun mixes. Almost every other stall at the market is laden with these fresh, fluffy leaves.
The weather has been particularly cooperative for the growing of leafy greens. Besides the short-lived spike in temperatures two weeks ago, it has been cool with plenty of moisture. This is good news because all of us could benefit from some more greens in our diet. They are rich in fiber and vitamins A and C, while containing no cholesterol or fat. Moreover, the dark leafy greens, like bok choy and kale, pack lots of calcium.
In addition to traditional greens, several root vegetables have toppers that are too tasty to throw away, and one of the benefits of shopping at the market is that the farmers often sell you the whole plant. Turnips, beets, sweet potatoes and kohlrabi all have delicious and nutritious greens that can be used in almost any dish that uses cooked greens.
At the market, shoppers often express concerns about extending the shelf life of their greens. There are a couple tricks of the trade that will help your greens last from one Saturday market to the next. First, remove any discolored or bad leaves, and if using root vegetable leaves, immediately cut off the leaves; this will lengthen both the life of the root and the greens.
The most common mistake is to dry the leaves too much after washing. Of course, the greens cannot be too wet or they will prematurely rot, but in order for the leaves to remain crisp, their cells need to hold onto enough water not to wilt. One of the easiest ways to achieve this balance is to wash the greens (avoid chopping unless serving within a couple of days), pat dry, then gently wrap up in either a dish towel or paper towel and place the slightly moist roll in an unsealed plastic bag (this last step helps slow evaporation).
I invite you to enjoy the leaves of autumn, as I have, with crunchy red romaine on a BLT, mesclun leaves lightly dressed with balsamic vinaigrette, quesadillas stuffed with beet greens and stir-fries made full with bittersweet bok choy.
Elizabeth Zander is market manager of the South Durham Farmers' Market.

Greetings From The Serengeti – March 12, 2013
The animals viewing in both the Eastern and Southern regions of the Serengeti National Park has recently been tremendous. The area called Barafu Valley is breathtaking and there are some good sightings to be had here. We saw some wildebeest coming down to drink from the small stream that flows through the heart of this valley as it is the only source of water for many kilometers. There is a large pride of lions in this area with many cubs of different ages near Barafu …

An electronic signature program to create an electronic signature for documents, filings, and transactions records effectuated between computers. A computer user is authenticated by a server computer. The computer user supplies certain information to the server computer, which extracts the information, and when a signature command is received, combines certain of the user submitted information with certain predetermined elements of the system information of the server, then digitally signs this combination of information along with the document, filing or transaction record which is being signed. The digitally signed combined information is returned to the user as the user's electronic signature of the information which was submitted for signature, together with the signed information, being the document, filing, or transaction record itself.
1. A method for signing and verifying electronic data by or on behalf of another at a server comprising:
a. an authentication step of creating a collection of records about a plurality of individuals by entering into a data storage medium a collection of at least one of the following:
i. personal information about an individual,
ii. an indicator of the reliability of the identification of the individual who is the subject of a record,
iii. whether the authentication mode is universal or whether such individual must authenticate to the server computer in order to sign electronic data using the server, and
iv. an authentication credential or plurality of authentication credentials that the individual must present to the server in order to sign;
b. an access control step of
i. receiving a request from a requester to sign and, unless the authentication mode is universal, an authentication credential or a plurality of authentication credentials from the requester, and
ii. comparing the authentication credential or credentials to the information contained in the collection of records to determine if the requestor is authorized to sign electronic data using the server;
c. a presentation step of providing to the server an electronic data set for signature;
d. a transaction identifier step of generating at the server a globally unique transaction identifier for the electronic data set that the requester intends to sign, which includes as one input an identifier associated with an identity of the requestor;
e. a signature step whereby the server encrypts, as the signature of a signer, each electronic data set with a unique encryption key generated from a symmetric cipher using the globally unique transaction identifier as character input for a password for generation of the key;
f. a recording step in which the server generates and stores in a data storage medium a record of a signature transaction;
g. a verification step whereby
i. an inquiring party seeking to validate a signature of electronic data transmits to a server electronic data that is believed to have been previously signed at a server;
ii. the server that receives the electronic data that is believed to have been previously signed at a server determines if a record or a plurality of records corresponding to the transmitted electronic data exists in the data storage medium of such records;
iii. the server retrieves a record or plurality of records corresponding to the electronic data which is presented for verification;
iv. with regard to each such record, the server performs a verification operation which includes a step of reconstructing a symmetric cipher from a record of input for a password of a key that was used to create an encryption key initially, including an identifier of the signer, and applying such symmetric cipher to decrypt the electronic data set;
v. after decryption, the server reports to an inquiring party,
1. whether the electronic data submitted for verification remains unmodified since a signature was affixed, and
2. an identity of a signer of the electronic data.
2. The method of
a. a message digest of the electronic data;
b. a crypto-transformation, created using a private key, of the message digest of the electronic data.
3. The method of
a. form input of a signer;
b. a combination of form input of a signer and standardized words, clauses, or phrases.
This invention relates to creating and verifying between computers and on computer networks electronic signatures for electronic documents, filings and transaction records.
An electronic document, legal filing or record of an electronic commercial transaction requires a way to authenticate the parties. Because handwritten signatures on paper have performed the authentication function traditionally, and electronic documents do not allow for a similar method of authentication, electronic substitutes must be found.
Until now, two principally different systems have been devised for "signing" electronic documents, but each has one or more significant drawbacks.
One such system, based upon the invention shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,405,829 to Rivest et al. (1983) uses client-side digital signatures and certificates created through the technology of "asymmetric encryption." Electronic communications are signed with the private key, in a two step process. First a digest of a message is created with a one way hash function, and then the hash function is encrypted using the private key. The authenticity of the message and its contents can be verified by a recipient as being authentic and sent from the signing party through testing of the message using the public key. Either an altered message or fraudulent sender will be detected by a computer possessing the proper software, the public key, and the digital certificate of the signer. If the message has been altered or the signer did not use the proper private key, the verification will fail. This method is useful for electronic authentication.
For additional security in authentications, certification authorities typically identify the key holders and issue certificates to verify that they belong to the party who is identified as the holder of the key pair. They maintain lists of active and revoked certificates for use by relying third parties. Determination of authentication requires not only a check of the digital signature on the message, but also of the status of the certificate identifying the signer, which involves accessing the certificate authority and knowing how to check the lists of revoked and suspended certificates. The investment to create and operate a certification authority is considerable.
Private keys are susceptible to theft from the computers or devices where they are stored, and when stolen, can be used to commit fraud with virtually no detection until the certificate of the user is revoked by the certification authority with respect to that particular corresponding public and private key pair. Private keys can also be compromised by sharing the passwords used to access them. It is often inconvenient to install the keys and certificates on individual desktop or laptop machines, or to replace them in the event of suspected compromise or upon the certificate's expiration.
The creation and maintenance of the certification authority infrastructure requires a massive investment in equipment and personnel that results in a relatively high cost to the end user where suitable means are adopted by the certification authority to verify the true identity of a holder of a private key before issuance of a digital certificate to the alleged owner of the key.
PenOp, U.S. Pat. No. 5,554,255 (1994), and continuation Ser. No. 298,991, U.S. Pat. No. 5,647,017 (1997) and related patents cited therein, adopts a completely different approach to electronic signatures. It uses digital drawing tablets on client machines as a basis for digitally capturing a handwritten signature, and then through software stores certain signature characteristics which identify the dynamic movements of the writer's hand as it moves the stylus on the tablet during signature creation, in addition to the image of the signature on the tablet. This stored information is then compared to a subsequently generated signature to determine if the signature is authentic. If a hash function is captured, digested, and linked to the document, this approach, like the "digital signature" approach of "asymmetric encryption" can determine any changes that have been made to the document since the signature was applied.
This "dynamic signature" approach avoids the massive infrastructure of the "public key encryption" certification authorities, and the problem of conflicting legal regimes applicable to electronic signing of documents in an international or multi-jurisdictional setting, but it requires the provision of a digital drawing tablet and stylus at each computer workstation where signature is to be accomplished, as well as the related software, which can be a significant system-wide item of cost. In addition, traditional forensic analysis applicable to handwritten signatures does not yet apply to electronic signature analysis, and it may be some time, if ever, before the legal forensic community becomes adept at dynamic signature handwriting analysis. Because there is no way at present for expert analysis of dynamic signatures, the ability to authenticate signatures is arguable at best.
Accordingly, several objects and advantages of the invention are to provide a new type of electronic signature that does not depend upon the extensive certification authority infrastructure of digital signatures on multiple client machines based on asymmetric encryption or the hardware and software investment of dynamic signatures; further that it uses a signature key at a server computer rather than many signature keys of many client computers, further that it can automatically incorporate authentication information about the signer and generate and affix a date and time parameter taken from the server's clock as further evidence of identity authentication at the time of the signature and verification; further that it eliminates the need for development of a discipline that does not yet exist, namely, the forensic science of electronic handwriting analysis; and that further allows for the use by incorporation of many types of authentication into its system, as well as others that may emerge in the future.
Still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description and accompanying drawings.
In accordance with the present invention, an electronic signature program is described for the creation, monitoring, and verification of an electronic signature generated by the interaction between two computers, one a client and the other a server, for the signing of electronic data, such as documents, filings or transaction records without the need for an expensive and massive infrastructure of certification authorities and the complexities of installing and using digital certificates, including cross-certifications, and/or without requiring hardware tablets and associated computer software. This system further is able to incorporate other existing technologies of prior art designed to authenticate users to a server computer and ones not yet available or existing.
The electronic signature is affixed between computers over the Internet.
Information is collected from the users as shown in
Creation of the signature is depicted in
To verify a signed document, it is resubmitted to the server, where the symmetrically encrypted version of the digital signature is decrypted by recreating the symmetric key from the signature transaction record components, and applying it, and then normal verification on the basis of the server's public key is invoked.
The encrypted digital signature ensures that the information included as the basis for the symmetric key, including signature transaction record particulars, date and time values, and electronic signature cannot be altered after the fact without such change being detectable through software upon verification.
The preferred embodiment also enables signer-supplied form submission data to be inserted into appropriate locations in a transaction template to be signed as part of a completed document, which may include standard terms applicable to the class of transactions. This enables standardized contracts and clauses to be included in legally binding contracts. The template may simply be a blank (structure only) document, to be filled in completely by the user, or it also may include "boilerplate", meaning standardized language that is intended to remain in the document. Boilerplate is commonly associated with legal, financial, real estate and mortgage phrases and provisions that are intended as inalterable in the document finalization and signature process. For example, it can include standard terms for purchase orders. For example, it can include notices and averments to governmental regulatory bodies. For example, it can include electronic credit card charge slips. By putting the boilerplate terms and conditions at the server and incorporating them as a template that cannot be modified by a signer, unauthorized pre-signature modifications are prevented. For example, in an extreme example, the template located on the server consists completely or almost entirely of boilerplate language that the signer is expected to accept and sign or reject without adding, modifying or inserting any information specific to the signer or transaction. For example, the transaction template may be used to generate an envelope for the transmission and routing of one or more documents or files that are embedded into the envelope. Any of the documents and files with a potential to be embedded in or attached to an envelope can also be signed using this invention.
As one skilled in the art can appreciate, signature transaction data or a pointer to it may appear in the document, in a database record, in a cookie on a client user's machine or as part of the signed file information. The template can also include formatting and structuring information so that the relying party receives a document that can be read using commercially available proprietary programs and methods. For example, the relying party may want to have the transaction in a word processing format. For example, the relying party may want to have the document include mark up tags common to and from such programs and languages as Hypertext Mark Up Language (HTML), Rich Text Format (RTF), Standard General Markup Language (SGML) or Extensible Markup Language (XML), and commonly used word processing formats. For example, the relying party may want to have a particular stylesheet associated with a document to preserve its layout as well as text and require the signer to sign this presentation formatting as well. By putting the templates and encryption keys on the server, and exposing the methods and properties of signature applications at the server, inconveniences caused by the complexities of using keys and certificates, and incompatibilities between operating systems and environments of the various signers' and relying parties' computers are also avoided.
Return of signature transaction information to the individual who signed the information in an email message serves as a receipt and proof from the server of a valid signature transaction. Such a proof of transaction can be asymmetrically signed by the server, providing inalterable proof successful signature verification as of a particular time.
If the email receipt containing the proof of signature is received by the signer, that individual optionally may be required to countersign the receipt digitally (preferably using asymmetric encryption) and then to return the resigned message back to the server computer for storage and as further proof of receipt and authentication. This receipt at the server computer proves that the user actually received the electronically signed message, and the digital signature can be stored at the server as a further guarantee of message authenticity. As one skilled in the art will realize, the example of email transmission is one of many possible ways of transmitting the signed proof of signature from the server to its destination. Other examples include the saving of a web page of information directly from a browser to a hard drive, or the downloading of a document from one machine to another, or transmission via HTTP and XML.
Accordingly, it can be seen that the above system allows client computer users to sign electronic documents, filings and transaction records submitted to a server computer as though with pen and ink on paper, without any additional hardware or software apart from an Internet web browser. The signature program reduces the need for a massive infrastructure investment of certification authorities by relying solely upon the digital certificate of the server computer, without any similar requirement that the signing party obtain a separate digital certificate, unless optionally required for receipt signing purposes. The method is able to make use of other current and future technologies for computer user authentication systems, and is suited for the Internet and other computer networks. The use of a second encryption layer has a further advantage of protecting the private key. Without the symmetric digital wrapper that changed with each signer transaction, an attacker might be able to deduce the private key attributes from an examination of a myriad of signatures and hash values. The symmetrically encrypted signature value also can serve to protect the underlying asymmetric signature at a future time when a factoring attack on asymmetric signatures by significantly more powerful computers may become computationally feasible. The symmetric encryption of the returned asymmetric signature value serves to shield the asymmetric private key from a factoring attack as the symmetric enciphering wrapper cloaks the asymmetric signature value, hiding it from the attacker.
Although the description above contains much specificity, this should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. Various other embodiments and ramifications are possible within its scope. Modification within the spirit of the invention will also be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, other unique system information of the server can be used in addition to the system clock to generate a signature transaction record, all or parts of which may also be encrypted. For example, copies of a single asymmetric key may be distributed among several different servers, or a single server may have a number of different asymmetric keys for use by each of various assigned individuals, entities or groups. For example, signers may be authenticated by trusted third party assertions. For example, a message digest generated during signature may be encrypted only using a symmetric key, rather than an asymmetric key, bypassing a second encryption step. Alternatively, the symmetric encryption of the message digest may precede the asymmetric encryption, allowing the asymmetric encryption to act as a digital wrapper for the symmetric encryption. For example, electronic processes may sign as client users on behalf of individuals or entities. For example, enveloped or enveloping digital signatures may be generated using this invention in addition to detached digital signatures. Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.

THIS IS FOR YOU! If you like simple, useful, and easy processes, give this a try. this just takes a few simple steps, and is very easy to do. You need NO experience with tools. If you can stick something with tape, and use a knife, you're set. If you can't... well, there's not much I can say about it, but that now is a good time to learn!
Below is a picture of a stickman and a camp fire. That's they type thing you should get when you're finished! The best thing is, it takes very little to master this technique! Once you get the hang of cutting curves on the tape, the rest is simple!
One KEY advantage to this method VS say a spray paint stencil, is that I can make REUSABLE stencils with ISLANDS. That means that I can do letters WITHOUT having to worry about those annoying "legs" that are needed to create blank spaces in the middle of a figure.
*please note* steps 8-12 are on making a stencil for repeated use of a particular design
Step 1: Step one: get those materials!
-DARK sunglasses- very important! We prefer to keep our eyes intact. if you've got welding goggles, those'll work too.
-Aluminum foil tape- the shiny stuff, you COULD use aluminum foil, but, it's going to be one heck ova lot harder that way.
-Razor blade- Exacto knives are preferred.
-Magnifying glass- one larger then 3" (~10cm) diameter circle, or rectangular equivalent.
-Material to be engraved- dark objects or wood are best
-A sunny day
*a side note, please try to steer clear of carcinogenic materials, However, if you must burn them, wait for a breeze, and stay upwind of the object, and downwind of other people (or a good ways away from them!) I'd prefer if you just take simple precautions to keep others safe. While probably not a problem, it's a good idea nevertheless. HOWEVER, plain 'ol wood is no problem, and you don't need to worry about that!
Step 2: Step two: apply tape
*it has been asked why I use this reflective tape, for all that are viewing this, I'd just like to clear any confusion. Because we're using light to do the burning, we need a way to keep it from burning portions of wood that we want to remain normal. Because it's light, it has no "radiant" heat (excepting that coming off the burning material) therefore we can get nice precise figures if we just reflect the unwanted light on the portions that we don't want to burn. Nice easy, carefree engraving, no worries about "coloring out of the lines"
Step 3: Step Three: cut figures
As seen below, a stick figure and a camp fire. You can cut out letters... ECT, it's all up to your imagination. Just remember, everything must be a "bubble figure" unless you cut it so there is some of the material beneath exposed, you can't engrave it.
Step 4: Step Four: remove cut tape
Also, if you need help lifting the tape off the object, use the point of your knife.
Step 5: Step Five: BURN!
Also, try to do the edges first, then work your way to the middle!
Step 7: Step seven: you're done!
You're done! Pat yourself on the back and do another!
Step 8: Making a stencil for repeated use
So how do we solve this? We'll build a stencil!
items needed
-sheet of glass or plastic (glass is VERY MUCH preferred)
-foil tape
Panes of glass in small sizes are readily available from scanner tops (on the 4-in-1 printers) and old window panes. If you've got a junkyard local, you might be able to lift some off of them for pretty cheap.
Step 9: Apply tape
*if you can't get the wrinkles out, use your thumbnail to smooth them out.
Step 10: Cut and remove the figures
If you'd like to re-use the piece for another shape, just make sure to tape on the side that has already been scratched by the knife during the cutting of the figures. This will keep burning power to a maximum, even if the old scribed lines fall where you want your figures. If you use plastic, you will have to move to another part of the sheet.
- as a side note, a good suggestion I've received (thanks for your comments all) is; just leave all your cut figures on the sheet of glass. As you can just move the stencil to use different figures, it'll save you a lot of time to just leave them all on the sheet of glass. Besides that, you can build your own "library" of stencils and have all the figures you've made!
Step 11: BURN!
*as a note, if you used plastic, I found that you burn until the engraving turns a black, then a slightly golden color, you'll see why in the next step.
Step 12: Warnings about plastic
nice little project
With that being said,Happy Solar burning.☺☻
I have an idea to make stencils that might be a little more work and a little more expense but I think the end result would be better. There is a product called Looking Glass. This is a spay "paint" that creates a mirror like finish on glass. By masking off your glass with a paper or vinyl piece in the pattern you wish to burn then spraying the glass with the Looking Glass paint you should end up with a mirror with voids that are in the pattern of the design you wish to engrave. Only experimentation will tell how well it would hold up.
I was just trying to add another idea to this good project.
Now, :) let me add something...
It could be possible to add 3D to the shadows (some less dark shadows) by cutting away some parts of the stencil after half burning the complete silouette...
So, the new cut parts would be half burned while the rest would look as mentioned in this interesting article.
For example, the front log of the first picture, would look less burned, so more close to the observer...
Hurray, I have added something! :)
I'm surprised that no one suggested that you cut the stencil on the glass *in reverse* so that you can then lay the glass onto the wood with the cut pattern on the bottom of the glass, nearest to the wood. That way, you retain the sharp edge that you get when your stencil is in direct contact with the wood. I would think that the sticky side of the tape is still reflective enough to do its job in that mode.
Also, many glass shops sell cheap glass if you need an unusual size, to say make a 3' long by 8" high engraving in a piece of wood.
We had made about 20 different ones for Reunions, Yard Sales, etc. using a wood burning tool, this might have saved some time. Now we just use a dremel tool with metal templates, but this is a nice cheap way.
Good intsructable. =)
Lo-and-behold, Edmunds is still around and still offers the exact same 11" square Fresnel lens for just $5.95! Shipping starts at $6.75, so you would probably want look around for some other goodies and/or get a friend to go-in with you and get several lenses.

Green Laundry Tips
Even though it's only Monday, we're already thinking about our weekend chores—like doing the laundry. While laundry isn't the most thrilling task, it's something we have to do! Next time you toss in a load, try these five ideas to clean up your clothes AND your lifestyle:
- Use cold water. If you're using a conventional top-loading washing machine, you can waste up to 90 percent of your energy heating up your water.
- Soak your stains. For set-in stains, try pre-soaking your dirty items in washing soda before putting it into a regular, cold-water wash cycle.
- Only run full loads of laundry. By only running your washing machine and dryer when they are full, you'll save energy and minimize water waste.
- Dry your clothes on a line. While it isn't always the most convenient option, line-drying your laundry not only preserves your clothing, but can also save you about $85 a year!
What do you do to keep your laundry clean while going green? Share your tips with us on Twitter!

Between the San Luis Obispo County line and the Carmel River, Route 1 traverses the rugged Monterey County coastline, world renowned for its spectacular beauty. The scenery ranges from various types of ocean shores, redwood forests, chaparral covered mountains, waterfalls, and the sand dunes, to vignettes of extreme and characteristic examples of local architecture.
Starting at the Carmel River about at Point Lobos, the motorist heads north through pine and cypress, into the sunshine overlooking Carmel Bay. Farther on is the picturesque cove at the mouth of San Jose Creek, with its steep descent to the beach, from which a view across Carmel Bay affords sight of Cypress Point and the peninsula famous for its 17-mile Drive.
Looking backward and to the right from this point are the Santa Lucia Mountains covered with tall pine and Monterey Cypress. Then, crossing San Jose Creek Bridge, is a descent into Carmel Valley, with artichoke fields covering the bottom land. The higher elevations at this point show rolling green hills of pasture, with tall, dark green pine along the skyline.
Climbing out of Carmel, the motorist continues through planned residential area, developing into dense wooded areas, with portals affording views of high mountains to the east. Approaching the summit, the road becomes only a channel, completely screened by trees.
Once over the summit, Route 1 becomes a four-lane divided freeway and an open view to the west presents a magnificent stand of cypress which stretches out toward the ocean, toward Pacific Grove. In the distance are Monterey Bay, the cities of Monterey and Seaside, and Fort Ord.
Proceeding northward and down grade, one enters Monterey, and upon reaching
the junction of Routes 1 and 68, motorists may proceed east onto Route 68 which
is an Officially Designated Scenic Highway.

mama how do i tell you its bad again
how the voices are telling me its okay to hurt
they want me to fall
to fall from the top of buildings
and not get up
but don't worry mama
i plan to shut them up
mama how do i explain how the pain has returned
all you wanted was me to be better
i tried and tried and tried and tried
but in the end, the crazy won
they drive me crazy to no end
i want to make it stop
but don't worry mama
i have a plan
mama i cant tell you how it feels
to be sunken to the depths of earth
angels are soaring above me
but their happy gazes hurt
i need this incessant chatter to go
to hurt me, to hate me
it all feels so real
but don't worry mama
it wont soon
mama i can see the look in your eyes
it hurts me too that this is goodbye
cant you see this is the only way
for the voices to vanish but my body stay
goodbye and farewell
ill miss you so much
ill be better now

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Dionne Marsh scored 18 points and No. 18 New Mexico tied its season high with nine 3-pointers in a 76-45 win over San Diego State on Wednesday night.
New Mexico (15-4, 5-1 Mountain West) used an 11-0 run in the first half to break it open and hand the Aztecs (3-14, 0-7) their seventh straight loss.
Marsh shot 7-for-8 from the field, most of them turnaround jumpers in the key. New Mexico was 9-for-18 on 3-pointers.
Erin Jackson with 14 points and Michelle Strawberry with 13 led San Diego State.
San Diego State hit four of its first six shots to take an 8-5 lead, but fell behind for good by going scoreless for more than 9 minutes. The Aztecs missed 10 straight shots during that stretch. The shooting slump ended with Shanna Demus' offensive rebound basket with 3:18 left, but by then New Mexico had a 26-14 lead.
New Mexico led 31-18 at halftime and three straight 3s, one by Katie Montgomery and two by Abbie Letz in the first 3 minutes of the second half, pushed the lead to 40-24 with 17:04 left.
Montgomery, the Lobos' point guard, had a solid game with 11 points and team highs of six assists and seven rebounds. She and Letz, who finished with nine points, combined for six 3-pointers.
San Diego State lost starting center Desiree Johnson with 7:32 left in the game due to a sprained left ankle. Johnson went down under the New Mexico basket and had to be helped off the court by a couple of teammates.
The win was New Mexico's 13th straight over the Aztecs and kept the Lobos within a game of Mountain West leader Brigham Young, which won 67-64 at TCU.

Effective Immediately: New graduates and employers will NOT be given license numbers over the phone. Wallet cards are mailed to licensees on Thursday's. Do not call or e-mail the board office to request this information.
Online License Verification allows you to enter a license number and retrieve Iowa license status information. This verification is primary source verification. (NOTE: When verifying an ARNPs license do not enter the letter designation as part of the license number)
Licensure QuickConfirm provides online license verification reports to employers and the general public at NO CHARGE. Verification can be obtained by license number or name. Thirty-seven (37) Boards of Nursing currently participate. The information obtained at Licensure QuickConfirm is: name, jurisdiction(s), license type, license number(s), compact status (multi-state/single state), license status,expiration date and discipline.
Employers/Public (No charge)
If you or your organization needs to verify a nurse license status and/or check a nurse's discipline status for employment decisions, then you may want to consider the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's secure, online verification system, Nursys® (www.nursys.com). The nursys.com Web site contains data obtained directly from the licensure systems of multiple boards of nursing through frequent, secured updates.
Employers and the general public can now verify licenses and receive a detailed report within minutes, free of charge. This report will contain the name, jurisdiction(s), license type, license number(s), compact status (multistate/singlestate), license status, expiration date, discipline against license and discipline against privilege to practice (PTP) of the nurse being verified. Currently, nursys.com is the only verification tool available that provides status of a multistate licensee's privilege to practice in remote Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) jurisdictions.
Nurses (Official license verification for a fee)
When a nurse applies for endorsement into a state, verification of existing or previously held licenses may be required. A nurse can use Nursys.com to request verification of licensure from a Nursys licensure participating board. A list of licensure participating nursing boards can be found at Nursys.com.
In order to be eligible for a multistate license in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), the nurse must legally reside in an NLC state. An active, unencumbered, multistate license allows the nurse to practice in all NLC jurisdictions. Questions about NLC eligibility and legal residency can be directed to the board of nursing in the nurse's state of residency.
Verifications can be processed by completing the online Nursys verification process. The fee for this service is $30.00 per license type for each state board of nursing where the nurse is applying. Nursys license verification is sent to the endorsing board immediately. Please visit www.nursys.com for more details.
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com, call 312.525.3780 or visit Nursys.com.

August sees shift in S.A.'s top alcohol sellers
Summer weddings likely pushed Fresh Horizon Creative Catering's alcohol sales up during July, when the company reported the city's second most mixed beverage tax receipts. June's No. 2 seller, Hospitality International Inc., reclaimed the top spot with nearly $1.1 million in alcohol sales after briefly falling behind the AT&T Center, according to data released Tuesday […] [Read More]
Job losses, retail sales continue to disappoint
(Associated Press) Back to school sales don't seem to be helping retailers. Some economists think we're nearing the end, or the bottom, of the recession, thanks to improvements in productivity and factory orders. But if the economy is indeed improving, it's going to be a long and slow recovery. Last week, 570,000 more people made […] [Read More]
New hip outlet shops coming
You want more discount outlet stores to visit this summer (you do want those, right?), you got 'em. Five new stores are opening this summer at the Prime Outlets in San Marcos, including: — 7 for All Mankind, a denim retailer that celebrated its grand opening July 9; — Tory Burch, a luxury American sportswear […] [Read More]
Wet weather slows retail spending
If wet weather is the downfall of consumer spending, retailers in San Antonio must be struggling to keep items on the shelves. Some retailers reported slow monthly sales Thursday, in part because of higher gas prices and rising unemployment. But they also blamed the wet weather, which kept people from shopping. I would gladly give […] [Read More]
Baskin-Robbins sets sights on San Antonio

Jobless claims drop, retail rises, the recession is over!
(Associated Press) Gasoline helped boost retail sales. Two pieces of economic news today give all those optimists out there something to cheer for.

And retail sales rose in May for the first time in three […] [Read More]
Conn's earnings beat estimates
Beaumont-based retailer Conn's Inc. earned 47 cents per share in the quarter ended April 30, beating analyst expectations and sending the stock up early Thursday morning. Hmm, I wonder if this had anything to do with it?? Total revenues for the quarter increased 5.8 percent to $231.3 million, net sales increased 2.6 percent to $200.1 […] [Read More]
Fancy jewelry and yellow pages: Not recession-proof
People have unsurprisingly slowed down on their purchases of exepensive jewelry, evident by the latest earnings report from Tiffany's.

"The defendants are charged with using high-pressure sales tactics to deceive customers about their extended service warranties," […] [Read More]

You can say that again, marylou. Do as I say, not as I do is the GOP way!
Small government strikes again. Chris Christie is a pawn of the Catholic bishops, which is why he has vetoed this bill, marraige equality and a bill granting adult adoptees access to their OWN birth certificates and medical records. A true conservative would have restricted government intrusion in each case
I worked for a "for-profit college" in 2000-2001. It was the worst experience of my professional life. The school targeted undereducated populations with the goal of getting them to sign on the dotted line and commit to financial aid because once a student started the school was guarateed the funding. Classes had no instructors, and students were passes in spite of their grades and attendance. I left after 6 months and reported them to the Better Business Bureau. But nice try blaming Mr. Obama. Fox viewer, I assume.
My prayers and deepest sympathies to both families. There will be time enough for blame, but now is the time to offer our compassion to the families who lost two little boys.
Mr. Conway has shown us his lack of intelligence and lack of character and now he needs to show us how he looks in prison garb.
Seriously? It's a political cartoon, but I guess the truth hurts because you're all up in arms!
Way to go Republicans. You picked a guy to run for President who knows he can't close the deal and has to get Christie to spread his NJ Comeback BS to rile up a crowd.
And how well have his judicial nominees been doing? Congrats, he got a guy confirmed that has been doing the job for 2 years. Another NJ comeback! Oy vey...
So Chris Christie went to Denver and "embraced" former MS governor Hayley Barbour, who pardoned murderers on his last day in office because they were charged with "crimes of passion," meaning they "only" killed their wives and girlfriends, and weren't likely to do it again. REALLY??? He also pardoned someone for a DUI death WHILE he was sitting in a holding cell being charged with another vehicular homicide. Barbour's pardons have been lambasted by both the right and left, yet Christie embraces him with open arms. Maybe they can talk about how both MS and NJ are at the bottom in job creation! And yes, privitize the schools, because we see how well that's been going with the half-way houses.
Not everyone who disagrees wth Christie is a public worker. By your standards, you are the only one NOT on the state payroll. Buy a comb and get a clue.
Can I ask how an admitted heroin addict gets released on her own recognizance?
It is not part of his JOB to campaign for others. It's not part of his JOB to go to meetings of the GOP Gov's associuation every few weeks. It's not his JOB to speak at CPAC. His job is to improve the state of NJ, and we are suffering under the worst unemployment in the northeast.
I guess you missed the latest polls that have Mr. Obama ahead in FL, Ohio and PA. I don't think Mitt could win the popular vote at a family reunion.
Throw him in jail. This is exactly why healthcare costs in our country are out of control.
@antsdaddy, don't flatter yourself, I didn't have anything deleted. I didn't see you're post. You see, I've been at WORK all day and haven't had the opportunity to check nj.com. I'm sure it was ignorant and reported by someone else who has a little couth.
When I call in sick it doesn't put my coworkers in danger. When a cop calls out sick it could mean someone patrolling alone which can be vedry dangerous. He should lose his job; it's fraud and it's taxpayer money. Perhaps if we subjected the police to the same standards as the rest of us, there wouldn't be so many of them in the news. Perfect example are the two idiot troopers who put thousands of lives in danger to drive to AC with the "cool kids."
Chik-Fil-A and their CEO have the right to their opinions, and the public has the right to "voice" their opposition by not eating there. This is still America, right?
Yes, release them to their parents, who did such a bang-up job keeping track of their kids to start with. Maybe a few nights in juvenile hall and a $100K bill from the taxpayers would straighten out these two jerks.
The Frelinghysens are the reason we need term limits. Rodney Frelinghuysen is a typical 1% er!
I wonder if anyone asked this gentleman how he feels about the Mormon tradition of posthumously baptizing victims of the Holocaust so they can find heaven?

Spend the Day at Francis Ford Coppola Winery this Summer
California Delicious Interns Jack and Katya spent a beautiful Summers day at Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Geyserville, Sonoma and absolutely loved it. Read about their trip highlights!
We explored the breathtaking Francis Ford Coppola Winery today, and it was everything we had hoped it would be. From the moment you drive through the Coppola Winery arch, you are surrounded by 360 degrees of vineyards and beauty. The building itself looks like a castle, where inside you can do wine tasting, swimming, and bocce ball, as well as check out the museum of Francis Ford Coppola memorabilia, like the actual desk and chair they used when filming the God Father!
We had dinner at Rustic, the winery's restaurant, and the view could not have been any better.
We sat outside overlooking the rolling hills and vineyards of the winery and it was a picture perfect dinner. Everything on the menu looked delicious, but we went with the Penne al Pomodoro which was excellent.
I would highly recommend a trip to the Francis Ford Coppola Winery to anyone who has the chance to visit, especially if you are a big God Father fan! This whole trip only cost $35!
You can experience the delicious flavors of Francis Ford Coppola's Winery in your own home with one of our exclusive Coppola Gift Baskets. See our collection of Wine Gifts for more details.

George Gilder has been one of our most interesting and important public intellectuals since the 1970s, so his pro-China commentary today in the Wall Street Journal deserves a more serious response than, say, the mindless boosterism of the average Tom Friedman column. In fact, I agree with him that it is hardly worth wasting American diplomatic capital with China on the issues of global warming and the value of the Chinese currency.
I am surprised, however, to see Gilder — who has been an Internet visionary — so blithely suggest that the U.S. government has no stake in Google's battle with China over Internet censorship and hacking. "Protecting information on the Internet is a responsibility of U.S. corporations and their security tools, not the State Department," he writes. That is like saying that protecting downtown New York is the responsibility of the corporations headquartered there, not the FBI and NYPD. Cyber infrastructure is fast becoming even more important than physical infrastructure to the functioning of the U.S. economy. Accordingly, it is, indeed, an issue for the State Department — and not only the State Department but also the Defense Department, the Justice Department, and other government agencies.
I am even more surprised to see Gilder — known as a relentless defender of Israel — seemingly write off another embattled democracy: Taiwan. His stance here is a bit contradictory. On the one hand, he writes: "Yes, the Chinese are needlessly aggressive in missile deployments against Taiwan, but there is absolutely no prospect of a successful U.S. defense of that country." On the other hand: "China, like the U.S., is so heavily dependent on Taiwanese manufacturing skills and so intertwined with Taiwan's industry that China's military threat to the island is mostly theater." Those propositions would seem to be at odds: is China a threat to Taiwan or not? In any case, neither proposition is terribly convincing.
Conquering Taiwan would require China to oversee the biggest amphibious operation since Inchon. Stopping such a cross-Strait attack would not be terribly difficult as long as Taiwan has reasonably strong air and naval forces — and can call on assistance from the U.S. Navy and Air Force. Taiwan doesn't need the capability to march on Beijing, merely the capability to prevent the People's Liberation Army from marching on Taipei. It would be harder to prevent China from doing tremendous damage to Taiwan via missile strikes but by no means impossible, given the advancement of ballistic-missile defenses and given our own ability to pinpoint Chinese launch sites. Moreover, giving Taiwan the means to defend itself is the surest guarantee that it won't have to. Only if Taiwan looks vulnerable is China likely to launch a war.
The notion that such a conflict is out of the question because of the economic links between Taiwan and the mainland is about as convincing as the notion — widely held before World War I — that the major states of Europe were so economically dependent on one another and so enlightened that they would never risk a conflict. If the statesmen who ran Austria and Germany and Russia and France and Britain were, in fact, primarily interested in economic wellbeing, they would never have gone to war. But other considerations — national honor and prestige and security — trumped economics back then and could easily do so again, especially because the legitimacy of the Chinese regime is increasingly based on catering to an extreme nationalist viewpoint.
That doesn't mean we should engage in needless and self-destructive confrontations with China over global warming and currency, but that also doesn't mean we should mindlessly kowtow to China's every whim. As I argued in this Weekly Standard article in 2005, we should pursue a balanced approach to China, tough on security and human-rights issues but accommodating on trade and currency policy. In other words, we should make clear to China that we are prepared to accept it as a responsible member of the international community but that we will not overlook its transgressions, like its complicity in upholding rogue regimes (Sudan, Iran, North Korea) and threatening democratic ones (South Korea, Taiwan).

North Creek The day-long music festival Wayne Stock VI will be held noon to 11 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3 at the Ski Bowl Park in North Creek, featuring many local bands.
Musical acts will include Vinnie Leddick, Flipside, Margo Macero, Freedom Hawk, Dr. Soos, Road Dawgz, the Mulch Brothers and the Lemon Grass Band.
The event will be held rain or shine, and admission is free. Funds are raised a number of ways, including auctions and raffle for a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Wayne Stock is the largest fundraiser for the North Country Hardship Fund, founded and managed by Wayne and Tammy Bukovinsky. This year's Wayne Stock theme is "Believe."
"I started the NCHF because I BELIEVED in giving back," Wayne said in the promotional material. "I BELIEVED in creating an organization whose sole mission was to help victims of tragedy. Five years later, I am proud to say that our organization has helped many individuals and families suffering from a tragic event."
Wayne Stock recently earned top honors in the Johnsonville Best of US contest, pitting unsung heroes against each other to find out who is the best in making America great. Johnsonville — the sausage company from Sheboygan Falls, Wisc. — awarded the Bukovinskys the grand prize of $10,000 on June 24 for winning the contest.
Here is the lineup:
12-12:50 p.m. Vinnie Leddick
12:55-1:45 p.m. Margo Macero
1:45-2:30 p.m. Auction
2:30-3:20 p.m. Flipside
3:20-4:20 p.m. Auction
4:20-5:10 p.m. Road Dawgz
5:10-6:10 p.m. Auction
6:10-7 p.m. Mulch Bros.
7-7:55 p.m. Rock Block/HD/Event
7:55-8:45 p.m. Lemon Grass Band
9-9:50 p.m. Freedom Hawk
10:10-11 p.m. Dr. Soos
11 p.m. G'NITE CLEVELAND
The North Country Hardship Fund is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that was born from the Wayne Stock benefit held in 2008 to raise funds for Wayne Bukovinsky, who was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. Wayne is slowly recovering thanks to all the people who donated to his cause.

Activists say Syrian troops backed by tanks have stormed an upscale Damascus neighborhood, killing at least 11 suspected rebels.
They say today's attack came after regime forces shelled the area with mortars soon after dawn.
An activist, who only wanted to be identified by the name Bassam, said that as many as 22 tanks stormed the Kafar Soussa neighborhood with about 20 soldiers on foot behind each one. He spoke via Skype from central Damascus.
The British-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 12 were killed by regime forces shelling and shooting in Kafar Soussa.
It was not immediately clear why government forces stormed Kafar Soussa, but there has been a dramatic spike in fighting in Damascus over the past month.
