US 6505603 B1Abstract
A fuel injecting method and a corresponding arrangement for an internal combustion (10), especially of a motor vehicle, wherein a first injection takes place during an induction stroke. Proceeding from operating characteristic variables of the engine (10), a tendency-to-knock signal is determined which characterizes the tendency to knock of the engine (10). At least one second injection takes place when the tendency-to-knock signal exceeds a threshold value. (FIG. 1)

An electronic storage medium including a read-only-memory, for a control apparatus of an internal combustion engine including an engine of a motor vehicle, on which a program is stored which can be run on a control apparatus including a microprocessor, and which is suitable for carrying out a method comprising the steps of making a first injection in an induction stroke; determining a tendency-to-knock signal characterizing the danger of an occurring knocking; and, making at least one second injection when the tendency-to-knock signal exceeds a threshold value.
14. An arrangement for carrying out the method of injecting fuel for an internal combustion engine including an engine of a motor vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
means for forming a tendency-to-knock signal characterizing the danger of an occurring knocking; and, means for effecting at least a second injection when the tendency-to-knock signal exceeds a threshold value.
The invention relates to a fuel injection method for an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle.
In internal combustion engines, a high compression ratio is sought for reducing the consumption and for increasing the torque. However, with increasing compression ratio, the problem of an uncontrolled occurring self-ignition of the air/fuel mixture increases. A knocking combustion occurs as a consequence. One distinguishes between two types of knocking, the so-called acceleration knocking at low engine speed and high load (can be heard as a ringing) as well as the high engine speed knocking (which cannot be heard) at high engine speeds and high load. The high engine speed knocking is especially critical for the engine.
The knocking combustion generates pressure oscillations which superpose on the normal pressure course.
Continuous knocking causes severe damage to the engine (destroyed cylinder head seals, bearing damage, holes in the piston) and damage to the spark plugs.
The knocking limit is dependent, inter alia, on the type of engine and on the fuel. The knocking resistance of fuels for fuel-injection engines is characterized by the octane number (ON). The higher this number is, the more resistant to knocking is the fuel.
The oscillations emanating from the combustion chamber are detected by the knock sensor. The output signal of the knock sensor is supplied to a control apparatus of the engine. The control apparatus evaluates the knock signal and initiates suitable countermeasures when a knocking combustion is detected. For this purpose, the ignition time point is, as a rule, shifted so far in the direction “retard” until there is again a drop below the knock limit.
The present invention has as its object to improve a method of the above type so that an operation of an internal combustion engine is possible at its operating limits without suffering a loss in torque because of knocking combustion.
The method of the invention is for injecting fuel for an internal combustion engine including an engine of a motor vehicle. The method includes the steps of: making a first injection in an induction stroke; determining a tendency-to-knock signal characterizing the danger of an occurring knocking; and, making at least one second injection when the tendency-to-knock signal exceeds a threshold value.
The especially great advantage of the present invention is that an increase of the maximum outputted torque of the engine is reached. Furthermore, the knocking limit is raised, that is, the engine becomes more resistant to knocking.
A further advantage is that, with a knock control with the aid of double injections, only a slight torque reduction results compared to the knock control with the aid of a shift of the ignition angle in the direction of retard. A knock control via double injection and ignition angle intervention or a combined intervention of both is possible in order to operate the engine at the optimal operating point.
FIG. 1 shows schematically an illustration of an internal combustion engine having a control apparatus; and,
FIG. 2 shows an operating characteristic field of an internal combustion engine.
As shown in FIG. 1, in an internal combustion engine having direct injection 10, fresh air is supplied to cylinder 38 or combustion chamber 21 in cylinder 38 via an intake manifold 19 and an inlet valve 20. The quantity of fresh air, which is supplied to the combustion chamber 21, can be controlled via a throttle flap 22. An air quantity sensor 23 detects the fresh air flowing into the engine 10.
An injection valve 24 and a spark plug 45 are mounted in the cylinder head 25. The fuel is brought to a working pressure by means of a high-pressure pump 26 and is injected into the combustion chamber 21 via a fuel line 27 and injection valves 24. The injected fuel is ignited with the aid of the spark plug 45. A piston 44 is driven by the expansion of the ignited fuel. Furthermore, the combustion chamber 21 includes an outlet valve 28 for discharging the exhaust gases occurring in a combustion.
A knock sensor 37 and/or an ion flow sensor 37 are mounted on the cylinder 38. The oscillations which occur in the combustion are detected with the aid of the knock sensor 37. The ions occurring during a combustion are detected with the aid of the ion flow sensor 37. The combustion performance of the engine can be detected and especially a conclusion as to a knocking combustion can be drawn by evaluating the signal of the knock sensor and/or of the ion flow sensor 37.
A lambda probe 29 is mounted in an exhaust-gas pipe 30. The oxygen component in the exhaust gas can be measured with the aid of the lambda probe 29 in the exhaust-gas pipe 30 whereby the air/fuel ratio can be determined in the mixture. A catalytic converter 46 is also mounted in the exhaust-gas pipe 30. The catalytic converter 46 has the task of converting toxic exhaust-gas components such as CO, HC and NO into CO2, H2O and N2.
An EGR line 31 connects the exhaust-gas pipe 30 to the intake manifold 19. A portion of the exhaust gas is conducted from the output pipe 30 into the intake manifold 19 because of the higher pressure in the exhaust-gas pipe 30. The exhaust-gas flow in the EGR line 31 can be controlled with the aid of an EGR valve 32.
A tank-venting line 34 leads from a fuel tank or active charcoal filter 33 to the intake manifold 19 whereby additional fuel can reach the intake manifold 19 and therefore also the combustion chamber 21. The fuel flow in the tank-venting line 34 can be controlled by means of a tank-venting valve 35.
The control of the entire engine 10 takes place by means of the control apparatus 11. Further, the control apparatus 11 can control a transmission 16, a braking system 17 and/or any other additional electromechanical systems 18. The various sensors and actuators are connected to the control apparatus 11 via signal and control lines 36.
The engine 10 can be operated in different operating modes which differ essentially by the injection time point, the ignition time point, and the cylinder charge. A switchover between the operating modes of the engine can be made with the aid of the control apparatus 11. The essential operating modes of the engine are the homogeneous operation HOM and the stratified operation SCH.
In homogeneous operation, the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber 21 by the injection valve 24 during an induction phase caused by the piston movement. At the same time, air is inducted via the throttle flap 22. The inducted air swirls the fuel which distributes in the chamber almost uniformly or homogeneously. The air/fuel mixture is then compressed in order to be ignited by a spark plug 45. The ignited air/fuel mixture expands and drives the piston 44. The occurring torque is, in homogeneous operation, essentially dependent upon the position of the throttle flap 22 and is thereby essentially proportional to the fresh gas charge RL in the cylinders. The air/fuel mixture is adjusted as close as possible to lambda=1 or lambda<1 in order to obtain a high torque and a low development of toxic substances with the combustion. The homogeneous operation is preferably adjusted in the full load range of the engine but can also be adjusted over the entire operating range of the engine.
In the stratified operation SCH, the throttle flap 22 is opened wide whereby the engine can be operated almost unthrottled. The fuel is injected during the compression phase in such a manner that, at the ignition time point, an ignitable air/fuel cloud is in the direct vicinity of the spark plug. Then, the air/fuel cloud is ignited by the spark plug 45 and the piston 44 is driven by the following expansion of the ignited air/fuel cloud. The occurring torque is, in stratified operation, dependent essentially on the injected fuel mass. The stratified operation is adjusted in the part-load range of the engine.
In FIG. 2, the operating characteristic field of an engine having direct injection is shown.
In FIG. 2, M identifies the outputted torque and N identifies the rpm of the particular engine. A identifies the operating region in which the stratified operation is adjusted and B identifies the operating region wherein the homogeneous operation of the engine is adjusted. The characteristic line I identifies the operating limit of the engine which is determined, inter alia, also by the knock limit of the engine 10.
In the control apparatus 11, the rpm N is continuously detected. The torque M is determined during homogeneous operation on the basis of the cylinder charge RL and, in stratified operation, on the basis of the injected fuel mass RK. A tendency-to-knock signal is determined on the basis of the detected cylinder charge RL and the rpm N or on the basis of the injected fuel mass RK and the rpm N. The tendency-to-knock signal is compared to a threshold value and double injections are initiated when this threshold value is exceeded.
In this context, double injection means that the first injection takes place in the induction stroke and the second injection takes place in the compression stroke. The second injection causes the air/fuel mixture present in the combustion chamber 21 because of the first injection to be cooled whereby the danger of an uncontrolled ignition of the air/fuel mixture is reduced.
Also, in knock endangered operating regions and before reaching the engine operating limits, the knocking limit of the engine 10 is reduced and/or the knocking behavior is improved by the double injections. An increase of the outputted maximum torque of up to 5% is obtained especially by carrying out targeted double injections in the region of the operating limits.
The proportion of the fuel mass to be injected in the first and in the second injection is determined in dependence upon the extent of the tendency-to-knock signal and/or from an engine parameter specific characteristic field stored in the control apparatus 11. The proportion of the first and second injections varies between 30 and 70% depending on the operating state of the engine 10 and in dependence upon the extent of the tendency-to-knock signal. The first injection takes place typically 300° ahead of TDC and the second injection takes place typically 80° ahead of TDC.
In this embodiment of the fuel injection method of the invention, the tendency-to-knock signal for each individual cylinder of the engine 10 is continuously detected and evaluated. In this way, it is possible to carry out double injections in individual cylinders when detecting the danger of knocking.
When detecting a “knocking” combustion, double injections are carried out in addition to the knock control by shifting the ignition angle in a direction of retard. In this way, the ignition angle control depth of the knock control is reduced which leads to an improved control result, a reduction of consumption and an increase of the torque.

Eureka | LEMNISCATE
Posted on July 30, 2004 by DELON
Some 2000 years ago, King Hiero II of Syracuse asked the Greek mathematician Archimedes (287-212 BC), to determine the amount of silver in the royal crown.
Though the crown appeared to be made of gold, the King suspected that the goldsmith might actually have hidden a large percentage of silver in it. Archimedes was at loss: How would he determine the ‘gravity’ of the metal in the king’s crown? While bathing one day, the mathematician noticed that as he stepped into his bath, which was too full, there was a certain amount of water displacement onto the floor — and the answer instantly hit him. He realized that a crown made of pure gold would displace more water than would one made of an alloy. He ran out stark-naked into the street, shouting ‘Eureka! I have found it!’ (perfect tense of the Greek word heuriskein, to find).
Archimedes then went back to his bath, plopped himself down into the water, and thought to himself that he could determine the amount of silver that was in the stately crown: He could put the King’s crown into the water, and then he could place equal amounts of gold and silver in the water separately and observe the difference in the displacement of water. ”

Healing Haiti-Rachel Rae: May 2011
Welcome, my name is Rachel. My nickname is Rae...that is where Rachel Rae comes from. I am a 31 year old and the single mother of 12 year old Kira. I have been traveling to Haiti since 2010 with the organization Healing Haiti.
At first sight of Haiti, I knew that I was answering a call that God has placed on my heart many years ago. I knew that this was a place where God was going to reveal my purpose to me. Although, I may not know it completely yet. I know it is somewhere within this beautiful land.
Kira's first trip to Haiti was in March of 2011. She was the youngest goer Healing Haiti has brought on a trip. I think we were all a little hesitant but who are we to start thinking....She blew me away. As the founder of Healing Haiti says, "The nut doesn't fall far from the tree". Her heart is definitely like her Momma's.
Here we are leading a group of women to Haiti. A group of women that have been prayed about since my first trip. Each one of these women have had a significant part of Kira's and my life, our faith walk, or have supported our journeys to Haiti. This is a group of women that I can only humbly say, have all made me a better person, mother, and Christ Follower. I thank each one of them from the bottom of my heart and am honored to share with you what God has placed on my heart and broke it wide open for the least of these...materially. Thank you Lord for this life-changing and honoring opportunity to lead some of your most humble and faithful servants on this journey to be the hands and feet of Christ.
Let's go shine His Light!
Haiti is a special place to me, a place I like to call, "My paradise". A place where most people cannot look past the surface appearance of material poverty, dirt, corruption, garbage everywhere, and not sewer or sanitation. Yet, I was given a new lens to see through during my first time in Haiti.
A new lens that God allowed me to see through to see....
BEAUTY: in the smiles that are beaming on the dirt covered face of a child that has only a torn shirt on;
JOY: in the toy car that a child made out "Tampico" juice bottle with wheels that are made from the covers of the bottles or the kite that is made out of a piece of plastic and dental floss (because they didn't know what dental floss was);
FAITH: in Christ that runs deeper than any ocean, river or sea;
TRUST: in Christ that He will provide EVERYTHING they NEED to survive for the day;
LOVE: is not only for your blood family, its for all of God's Children:
ACCEPTANCE: WE ARE WHO WE ARE...we are all wired differently we will not be judged for our past mistakes, no one is better than the next as we are all children of God and sinful creations;
PATIENCE: Haitian time...if it gets done today GREAT-if not-it is OK. We will be there in 5 minutes and it is actually 25 minutes...oh well, we have made it safely and that is all that matters;
CONTENTMENT: of their dirt covered floor to lay their head down at night;
PEACE: no matter the environmental circumstances.
I come back to my USA home, and feel like a fish out of water. My vision gets distorted, my judgement gets flawed, my focus is off centered. Someday...I will be a fish in water for good. Until then, I go to Haiti to recenter my life to God's will and God's way. But I will continue to fight the battle here in the US to live life as Christ life as possible with not falling into the worldly ways (as I see and feel) of materialism, greed, excessive waste, judgement and envy.
People try to understand but never will get close to comprehending what happens within one's heart in Haiti until you GO YoUrSeLf! So when are YOU going?
Until then...may this page be one that will allow other people's journey touch your heart, your life and possibly change the perspective many have on this country that is struck by material poverty but the RICHEST in FAITH and JOY!
Rachel (said "raw-shell" in Haiti)

I have seriously lost the mood to study. AHHHH! 3 more days to go! Having my CFM on Tuesday, CG on Wednesday and CA on Thursday.. and I’ll be off on Friday! Woohoo~!
Goodbye, my baby dotter May 18, 2010
On my 19th birthday, I got the best birthday present ever! I named them Beebee (the brown one) and BooBoo (the black one).
Hello Kitty, Love! May 16, 2010
I created a new email to correspond with formal stuffs. Was chatting with Madu and he said something like “Get hellokitty!” I was confused. Anw, went to google it and I found… sanriotown!
So I now have a hellokitty email! Haha. But of course, I’m not gonna use this for future job application XD Anw, sanriotown it’s really nice! They have blog, games and a forum for hellokitty lovers XD

Tried the gold nail polish from The Face Shop and I loveeee the colour! Was experimenting with it so I took out the Mini French black from Etude House too.. The nail polish wasn’t nice. It forms clump ):
Anw, here’s something different I tried. Usually I just stick nail art (: Don’t ask me what’s it though. I just drew some random lines. Lols.

Benton Mackaye Trail Section Hike – Springer Mountain To The Toccoa River – golden corner hikes
Wayne, Pam, and I have lately been talking about section hiking the Benton Mackaye Trail (BMT). The BMT runs for about 300 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Davenport Gap in the northernmost part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The middle of the BMT crosses the Appalachian Trail near Fontana. If you were to look at an overview map, you’d see that the two trails form a huge lopsided figure eight.
Narrow, brushy trail
Wide trail on an old roadbed
A tunnel of Rhododendron
The trails namesake, Benton Mackaye (pronounced Mak-eye), was a forester and a conservationist. He is probably best known for proposing the idea for the Appalachian Trail, having written about it in an article published in 1921.
Sign at southern terminus
Plaque honoring Benton Mackaye
On Friday, we finally got started and hiked all of section 1 and most of section 2. We hiked 16.4 miles total from Springer Mountain to just beyond the swinging bridge over the Toccoa River. The guide says that the distance is 14.3 miles, but that doesn’t include the eight tenths of a mile hike on the A.T. from the parking area along the gravel road (FS 42) to the junction for the southern terminus of the BMT. It also doesn’t include a short detour near the beginning to an impressive overlook.
The detour to the overlook was well worth it. The view was great.
Later, we took a side trail down to Long Creek Falls. Even accounting for those things though, our hike ended up being about a mile longer than expected. When we thought that we had hiked far enough to be at the end, we were in fact still high up on a ridge and the Toccoa River was nowhere to be seen (or even heard). When we figured that we should be going downhill towards the river valley, we found ourselves instead still making a couple of short climbs. Eventually though, the trail did drop steeply and cross the swinging bridge. From there, all that was left to do was one more short climb back to Pam’s vehicle.
This had been a very long day. I was up by 4:30 am and met Wayne and Pam in Westminster shortly before six. We left my car there and drove in their two vehicles towards Fannin County, GA. On the way, we stopped for a quick breakfast in Dahlonega before continuing on. By the time that we had shuttled our vehicles and were finally ready to begin our hike, it was already noon.
We crossed this open field at about the ten mile mark, following a steep climb.
An early morning downpour had cooled things off a little, so even though it was hot, it wasn’t terribly hot. Later, however, when the rainwater began to evaporate, it became exceedingly humid. It felt like we were hiking in a steam bath most of the day. The three of us and our packs were completely soaked with sweat. We still managed to average about 22 minutes per mile while actually hiking, but with water breaks, lunch, photo opp’s, etc, it took us a total of 7 hrs and 11 mins. Once we arrived at Pam’s vehicle, we still had to make the return drive to Springer to get Wayne’s truck. Afterwards, we drove back to Dahlonega, where we ate dinner at Gustavo’s Pizzeria. Wayne asked the hostess to seat us at the back of the restaurant, along the wall, since we had been hiking and didn’t smell too good. The hostess apparently didn’t bat an eye, as though she gets this request on a regular basis.
The swinging bridge over the Toccoa River. The bridge is 270 feet long.
After dinner, we finished our drive to Westminster. By the time that I got home, it was more than half past midnight. I didn’t get to sleep until about 3 am. Our house was full of people (a dozen teenagers, my wife and I, and our youngest son), but that’s another story for another time. It had been almost 24 hours since I first woke to begin the day.
View of the Toccoa from the middle of the bridge. One more short climb from here and we’re all done.
As for the stats, as I mentioned before, we hiked a total of 16.4 miles. There had been a little over 3,200 feet of elevation gain and more than 4,400 feet of downhill. The BMT is much more remote than the Appalachian Trail. In fact, we didn’t see anybody else except for where it briefly overlapped the A.T. near the waterfall. It’s beautiful, but some of the terrain is pretty steep. The Benton Mackaye Trail Association website states that it is chartered to travel the high ridge and is rated as strenuous (no argument from me).
After such a long and tiring day, I joked with Wayne and Pam that I was going to turn my phone off for a few days so that they couldn’t call and tempt me with another hike. Or at least they think that I was joking.

April | 2016 | Unison City of Stoke on Trent Local Government Branch
TTIP or the proposed Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership deal between the US and the EU continues to progress. There have so far been some thirteen rounds of talks, all behind closed doors between US and EU representatives to bring the proposals to fruition.
Many concerns still remain about this trade deal such as not protecting public services and in particular the NHS against full scale privatisation, erosion of consumer protections around food and environment and the opportunity under the investor dispute system for multinational corporations to sue governments where decisions made by governments may affect a company’s profits.
More recently a Freedom of Information request by pressure group Global Justice Now to the Department of Business Industry and Skills has brought to light that the trade deal is likely to have NO benefit to the UK.
The report by the London School of Economics commissioned in 2013 concluded the following.
There is some reason to expect an EU-US investment chapter will impose meaningful economic costs on the UK. Based on Canada’s experience under NAFTA, we would expect an EU-US investment chapter to be regularly invoked by US investors against the UK for governmental actions that would normally not be challengeable under UK law.
[The Investment Chapter of TTIP is the part of the trade deal that covers investor protection.]
The response from BIS also revealed that no risk assessment had been carried out for the inclusion of investor protection in CETA – the free trade deal between Canada and EU that is even further down the process of approval than TTIP.
Its little wonder that the UK government don’t really want this broadcasting from the rooftops as it’s obviously damaging to their view that we should embrace TTIP lock, stock and barrel.
Rest assured Unison along with many other likeminded organisations and trade unions will continue to campaign and highlight the very real dangers that this new style trade deal will bring to everyday life for us all. Let’s face it, if the deal was so good you’d expect a well respected institution like the London School of Economics to champion its cause. Perhaps it’s not such a good thing after all.

The study at different ages | Independent Forum of Opinion
One of the common concerns of parents is that their children are good students and complete their professional studies.
However, it is important to know that the attitudes for the study are different according to the age. Small children have a great desire to learn and a curiosity very wide. In childhood constant questions that guys do their parents and teachers are typical.Children aged 6-11 years like to stand out in the study, feeling satisfied if they get good grades or any prize at the school. In addition, in this age they tend to develop the skills that facilitate the study, such as the memory, the capacity for observation and the logical intelligence. This is an age very conducive to acquire positive habits of study, like work hard as well as become a reading lover and help other people.
When kids get older and are adolescents things change: intellectual curiosity decreases and they don’t worry to suit well before parents and teachers. It sometimes seems that they fall into the laziness and lack of willingness that adversely affects school performance.
Another important change in adolescence is the use of free time. In normal circumstances the leisure time is an opportunity to cultivate hobbies and personal interests, make new friends and improve the cultural level. However, adolescents often make a bad use of it; making the most of it to enjoy an autonomous behavior without the dependence on parents and teachers. This age is an opportunity to affirm themselves their insecure personality and visit friends. Free time is a help to release from the tensions inherent in the age. But we can also make a bad use of it and becomes a permanent idleness where permissive life queen and do not appear neither rules of conduct nor personal self-demanding. These circumstances do not help neither human maturation nor intellectual.

Kenny’s Artifact 4 | The Museum of Modern Theatre
Lighting has become one of the most powerful forces for enhancing a theatrical production. With proper lighting, setting and atmosphere can be easily established in the absence of scenery. Moods and emotions can be affected through visual stimuli. Even dramatic and potentially dangerous effects can be achieved without putting performers or audiences members at risk. Perhaps some of the best examples of these principles can be found in the popular theatrical production of War Horse.
War Horse was adapted for the stage in 2007 and was a large undertaking. The story includes multiple characters that are not human, but interestingly enough, horses. These horses are remarkable and are meant to be the visual focus of the play while on stage. Because of this, scenery has been kept to a minimum. Lighting and projection take over to establish what would normally be the responsibility of a scenic designer.
Lighting designer Paule Constable was faced with the challenge of bringing the rural countryside and the battlefield to life on the same stage, without the support of normal scenery. This was masterfully achieved in her award-winning design.
An ordinary lighting design may rely on typical 45 degree angles of light, and usually draws its strongest source of light from directly in front of the stage. Constable’s design for War Horse used a number of unusual angles and often relied on the backlight as the strongest source. This helped define large silhouettes of horses, tanks and battalions and also created a dramatic visual effect.
The design also manipulated properties of light in very successful ways. The settings were well defined through the projected textures and colors of light used. Properly simulated daylight and moonlight is not always as easy as it sounds, but Constable had no trouble communicating location and time of day. Her night scenes relied on the perfect shades of cool white light combined with the right amount of blue tones. The daylight scenes varied just as natural light does in the real world. A cloudy day looks different than a sunny day, and even this effect was properly achieved.
Atmosphere and location are not the only enhancements Constable provided with her lighting. The gunfire and explosives used on a WWI battlefield undoubtedly provided intense flashes of light and other unique forms of illumination. Constable was able to very effectively simulate these lighting effects with the use of Atomic 3000 strobe lights and other instruments programmed to duplicate the light of explosions. The use of actual explosives on stage is obviously dangerous, and the lighting design was able give wonderful effects while keeping performers and audience members safe.
There is no doubt that lighting plays a major role in War Horse and that Paule Constable has created the perfect design for this play. There are many plays that illustrate the importance of a well executed lighting design, but in my opinion, War Horse is one of the best. Her artistic and technical efforts are evidence of the fact that lighting has become a very powerful force in the world of theatrical.

Forever Nomads: April 2011
I've been drooling over the Pink Paislee "Artisan Elements: Frames" since they came out, but sadly I've never been able to snag a package. Gorgeous, no?
image from Pink Paislee
I do, however have their Bayberry Cottage stamp set, which contains an exact match to one of the frames. And I got to thinking: What if I could make my own version? Didn't I read somewhere that you could use wet toilet paper and rubber stamps to make embossed images? A little internet research led me to this step-by-step tutorial, which in turn led to this:
Can you believe that's just toilet paper? I used 6 sheets of 3-ply toilet paper, which resulted in a nice, sturdy piece. After drying for a few hours, I cut out the middle and trimmed around the edges with scissors and a craft knife. I still can't get over how easy it was. Here's a closeup so you can see a bit more of the detail:
It would also be really cool to try this with clay, although I'm not sure I'd have the patience to deal with rolling out the clay, trimming, drying, etc. I think for now I'll stick to the tp method!
Stamps: Pink Paislee "Bayberry Cottage" (frame), Teresa Collins "Posh" (bird), Hero Arts "Everyday Sayings" (sentiment)
Ink: SEI chalk "turquoise", "bordeaux"
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey "Urban Prairie", Prima Marketing "Melody"
Accessories: adhesive rhinestones, foam adhesive, toilet paper
Stamps: Studio G (sentiment), Impression Obsession (stitches)
Ink: ColorBox pigment "Chestnut", ColorBox chalk "Rose Coral", My Mind's Eye "Sundress" pigment palette, Versamark
Accessories: Cricut / Easter 2010 seasonal cartridge, Cuttlebug / Papertrey Ink Woodgrain impression plate, Sakura Souffle pen #907, corner rounder punch, foam adhesive
I've been playing around with my Cricut all weekend, and I whipped up this little set of cards, cut from the Sentimentals cartridge at 3". Even though this particular cartridge has a distinct Victorian feel, I love that I was able to use it to create a more modern look.
I took the leftover cut-out hearts, added some stamped script, then swapped them between the cards. I adhered them to the inside of each card by applying glue to the backside of the heart, holding the card closed on a flat surface, and inserting the heart back into the heart-shaped window for placement. Easy peasy!
I cut an envelope for each card (again using the Sentimentals cartridge - cut at Real Dial Size, 4") from a large kraft shipping envelope (more pliable than kraft cardstock). I assembled the envelopes using super-sticky double-sided tape, and added a strip on the top flap (protective backing left on) to use for sealing the envelope.
The icing on the cake is this adorable little box I made using kraft cardstock and the Wild Card cartridge (cut at 5 1/4"). See how they all fit in there perfectly?
{Love}. I am such a sucker for cute little boxes and bags and such. There's a pillow box on the 2010 Easter cartridge that I've got big plans for...
This set also happens to qualify for the 350 Cards & Gifts Week: The Card Sets Challenge at Moxie Fab World. Head on over and check out the other entries!
Stamps: Teresa Collins "Posh" (script); Ink: SEI chalk "Charcoal"; Cardstock: American Crafts "Tropicals", kraft, kraft shipping envelope; Accessories: Cricut / Sentimentals cartridge / Wild Card cartridge, super-sticky double-sided tape
Seriously, how could I resist playing along with this week's Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World? I mean, look at this gorgeousness:
That amazing mirror, the bright colors... yes, please! Not to mention another chance to play around with my Cricut.
First, I diecut a frame and its layer out of leftover cereal box (yes, the Cricut can cut chipboard!) using the Sentimentals cartridge, then added this:
The edged cardbase is another cut from the Sentimentals cartridge.
The best part? My DIY frame is actually a magnet!
I simply attached it to the cardfront with glue dots for easy removal.
I had SO much fun making this card. I love it so much, I might not be able to give this one away!
Stamps: American Crafts "Letterbox Small Thanks", Papertrey Ink "Polka Dot Basics", Ink: ColorBox pigment "Aqua", SEI chalk "Cumquats"; Accessories: Cricut / Sentimentals cartridge, cereal box, OPI nail polish, Ranger Glossy Accents, adhesive rhinestones, foam adhesive, adhesive magnets, glue dots

I've been trying to use my Cricut more; I've got an idea list a mile long, but I just haven't had a chance to implement much of it. Then I saw this week's Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World:
And I knew I had to make this:
I used the Don Juan Cricut cartridge's "Stitched" option to create my own "sewing card." The initial holes were WAY too small, so I went back over them using a paper piercer and foam mat. After that it was just a matter of stitching up the design (while watching a couple of episodes of How I Met Your Mother). It was a little more time-consuming than the cards I usually make, but I really enjoyed making it - there's just something so relaxing about working with a needle and thread!
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink (Antique Linen); Accessories: Cricut / Don Juan cartridge, Cuttlebug / Distressed Stripes embossing folder, corner rounder punch, embroidery floss, foam tape

Today we had the best time. Nothing was planned, it just happened. A friend from Shoreline spent two nights here (a friend of the children) and needed a ride to Bonney Lake, so hubby and the two younger girls went with us to drop him off. Drop him off we did, then we took a little drive.
What? You took a drive after spending untold hours in the vehicle driving all over the west?
Yes, yes I did. And loved it. We were heading towards Chinnook Pass, where all those snowy pictures were taken a few days ago, but veered off on roads less traveled and found the most delightful little park at a place called Mud Mountain Recreational Area. The girls loved the place and so did we. There was this amazingly steep trail down to who knows where (we were not equiped with the right shoes to do some hiking) and I snapped this picture of Lance waaaaaay down at the end of a switch back. You might just be able to make him out down there.
Then we went back up to the park proper where the girls waded around in the pool for a bit. They wanted to go in all the way, but again we'd left home unprepared for such activities so all they were allowed to do was wade and get their shorts wet a bit.
Here's a picture of hubby and the girls.
And since you complain that you never ever see me in a photo, here's one with me and Ashley that Allison took with my cell phone camera. In fact all these were taken with my cell phone camera as again, we were unprepared. Also, Ashley looks agitated because she was upset that we refused to purchase her a can of soda from the machines there at the park. She got over it when we bought milkshakes on the way home.
And our last picture of the day, Allison with her head out the window enjoying the wind in her hair.
And now we're off to get the house clean in preparation for a family birthday party tomorrow for Allison. Wheeeeeeee!

Last weekend I was here, forcing myself to read a paperback novel about hell. Today, in an attempt to distract myself from my perennial lack of company, I decided to escape from the rest of the world by staying in a mall. Yes, it’s true that we can sometimes be alone in a crowded place and think more clearly where there is noise. The steady drone of people’s voices and their occasional ripples of laughter make an effective music for meditation, though meditation isn’t exactly what I’m doing now. I’m escaping. I’m running away. I’m hiding from the rest of the world, from all the noise and trivialities of daily existence. In a mall. Yes, this is such the perfect place to hide – in a place with bright lights and happy people while I’m sitting alone in a corner sipping coffee, pretending to be aloof and without care for company. Well, what else is new? This isn’t really much of a surprise, isn’t it?
Tonight I’m in this swanky coffee shop in downtown GenSan, wasting money on a tad too expensive vanilla latte, trying to squeeze my desiccated brain for words and ideas that have persistently eluded me for so long and assemble them into a fairly decent and reasonably interesting article for my blog. It’s been months since I wrote one. And the last one I wrote was about loneliness and singlehood and getting old – boring and clichéd material. However, considering that my 34th birthday is just around the corner and whether I like it or not, loneliness is staring me right in the face and even giving me a dirty finger taunting me like a bully, it looks like I will be discussing the same nasty but boring topics yet again.
Well, maybe if I keep on staying here, every Saturday night and every Tuesday night, at right about the same time, in right about the same corner, maybe some nerdy solitude-seeking man will bother to sit with me and join me for a while. Maybe. Who knows? Stuff from movies do happen in real life, albeit very rarely. Like that line from that coffee commercial. Let’s sit and talk awhile. All that crap. Maybe that could still happen if I stick around this place long enough.
I’ve stuck around long enough. Or maybe not yet. How long am I supposed to wait? I’m not a very patient woman. Or maybe I’m a very patient woman, but I’ve been patient long enough.
Stop. There I go again. I'm again rambling about loneliness and singlehood and getting old. It's boring. I'm boring. I should stop and smell the coffee.

Riassunto: This study goes to the heart of ethics and politics. Strongly argued and lucidly written, the book makes a crucial distinction between two forms of democracy. The author defends constitutional democracy as potentially supportive of the ethical life, while he criticizes the plebiscitary form of democracyas undermiining man's moral nature. The book includes an extensive interpretation and refutation of the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and offers a new perspective on the American Constitution and the relationship between moral community and self-interest. This edition includes an important new section on the common good and the state of Western democracy. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: "One of the best books on the terrain where politics and morality precariously overlap, recommended vigorously to all who are concerned with the loss of political morality."--Peter Viereck "An excellent and much needed analysis, and synthesis, of the relation of man's moral life to democratic, constitutional self rule."--Vera Lex Dall'editore:
