Cutting Your Own Wooden Pen Blanks

Making wooden pens in not only an enjoyable hobby, it can also put a few extra dollars in your pocket.

Today many people appreciate a fine writing instrument, and what better way to show style than with an elegant, environmentally friendly pen or pencil.

When customers consider a wooden pen, they look for several things.

Remember to sell a pen; you must get the customer’s attention. One of the best ways to do that is with an interesting species, color, texture, or finish. Without these critical factors, the customer likely will not even notice the pen; much less pick it up for a closer look.

After the customer picks up the pen, he or she is focused on the craftsmanship. Is the fit excellent? The finish perfect? Is the pen easy to use? Does it fit the hand? During this time, the customer usually will closely examine the wood and look for something that stands out.

How can you make sure you have enough blanks and be sure your pens have what it takes to make the customer look closer? One way is cutting them yourself from almost any type of wood you have in your local area.

While exotic blanks have their place and make for nice looking items, local wood certainly can be very attractive. Furthermore, you cannot beat the price, especially if you cut them yourself.

The tools needed are few. In fact, only one power tool is essential, that being the table saw. While a chain saw is very useful and will make the job easier, a handsaw will do nicely if you provide the power.

When looking for blanks, I usually focus on small limbs or trees between 5-7 inches in diameter. I then saw these pieces into lengths of 8 inches long. This size is fairly easy to saw with a 10′ table saw.

Immediately after cutting the limb to size, take latex house paint and paint two heavy coats on the exposed ends of the wood. This will prevent cracks from developing and ruining it for use as pen blanks.

Before sawing the wood, it must dry. This usually takes about 10 months on a piece of wood this size. Of course, it is best to keep your wood out of the weather during this drying process.

o IMPORTANT: You can get seriously injured and/or hurt sawing limbs lengthwise on a table saw. These limbs are prone to stick and wedge on your blade causing the wood to fly out of the saw if you are not careful. This can cause your hand to slip into the blade. You are responsible for your own safety while using this or any other power tool.

When the wood is dry, I cut it approximately 7/8 inch wide then cut blanks 7/8 inch square. This makes a handy size blank for most any pen you might make.

Also, while at it, cut some 2 inch by 3-inch blanks for bottle stoppers. Consider making a pen, pencil, letter opener, and bottle stopper from the same type of wood.

Here is a helpful tip: Label each individual blank with the type of wood when you complete the sawing operation. Use something permanent such as a Sharpie pen. You may recognize the wood today but I guarantee it will be hard to ID a year from now when mixed in with other blanks of similar type of wood. If you are not careful, you will end up with what wood turners call “FIG” wood. FIG means, “found in garage”

This is a good time to consider storage of your blanks. Options include plastic totes that fit a shelf space such as a plastic shoebox or something bigger if needed. Plan ahead, you will find you may have more pen blanks than you have room for!

So keep looking for wood that you can turn into pen/pencil/stopper blanks, have fun, and perhaps put a few extra dollars toward your hobby.

Don’t Know If You’re Astral Projecting? Here Are 10 Signs That You’re Ready For Astral Projection!

Astral projection has its own set of symptoms or signs. Now, when we use the term symptom to describe a sensation or event during or before astral projection, that is actually a positive thing.

Symptoms tell us that we are doing something right and we are coming closer and closer to success. Here are 10 of the most common symptoms of a person who is about to embark on a remarkable voyage through astral projection.

1. Temperature change

The sensation of temperature change varies from person to person. Some people say that they feel as if a cold breeze will enter the room during a projection, while others feel warmth or heat.

2. Vibrations

Vibrations are common for people trying to project. The sensation is usually mild at first but gradually builds up force as the person’s relaxation and concentration increases.

Is your body actually vibrating? Not really. This state of vibration is caused by your mind’s intense concentration. Vibration is considered one of the best signs that a person is nearing his goal of astral projection.

3. Buzzing

Actually, people hear different sounds right before the projection. Buzzing is only the most common sound. Some people hear birds chirping or bells ringing during astral projection.

What is common about all these experiences involving sound is that the intensity soon becomes overwhelming. If the sounds becomes too loud or overwhelming, simply tolerate it because you are about to reach the astral planes. So as a symptom becomes more intense, the closer you are to your goal of projecting.

4. Rapid heart rate

In connection with all the other sensations, one can also feel a change in one’s heart rate. This is normal, though you may want to relax a little bit more if your heart rate becomes painfully fast.

5. Movement sensation

Movement sensation is tied with other symptoms such as proportion change and even weight change. If you feel like you are flying, the projection is imminent.

6. Sleep paralysis

Sleep paralysis usually occurs when you are about to make the final jump from the physical realm to the astral realm. In some cases, your ability to move your legs or arms will be temporarily suspended as your spirit and mind reaches the exit point which leads to the astral realm. Again, this is perfectly safe and is not a permanent condition.

7. Visual hallucinations

During astral projection, your mind (as well as your imagination) is very active. So active in fact that images and scenes seem more real and sometimes, more unsettling than what you were normally accustomed to. Do not be afraid. Whatever you see is just in your mind.

8. Breathing changes

Breathing changes often occur when a person is overly-excited or tense during the astral projection. If you feel short of breath, simply calm down and try to perform deep breaths until your breathing returns to normal once again. Do not panic – this is simply your body’s way of signaling to you that you are not as relaxed as you should be during the projection.

9. Weight changes

Two things can happen to your perception of weight just before astral projection. You can either: feel very heavy, as if your body has gained so much mass that gravity is pulling you harder or you can feel so light that you feel as if you might float away. The sensations of weightlessness, floating or soaring are all normal symptoms of astral projection.

10. Proportion changes

Proportion change can sometimes occur alongside weight change. During projection, a person can feel as if he were shrinking to a smaller size. Or, the opposite can happen. He can also feel as if he were expanding or growing.

The Most Important Birthdays in a Person’s Life

We all would agree that a birthday is typically a day to sit back, relax, and celebrate! For some, every birthday is a special day, regardless of what they do or who they spend it with. Others feel the only way to really enjoy a birthday is to have a huge party where all their friends and family can celebrate with them. No matter the way you celebrate your birthdays there will always be our most memorable days of the year. However, there are just a handful of birthdays that are commonly considered the most important in our lives.

First Birthday- While you really have no choice on birthday decisions made when you are turning one year old, as a parent you have the opportunity make your child’s first birthday amazing. While they might not be able to remember much, the video and the photos will speak for themselves as they grow. To celebrate the first birthday it can be a great way to celebrate if you give them their first cake or cupcake. It is the start of all the years to come, and a great way to celebrate a baby becoming a toddler.

Thirteenth Birthday- For a child, the thirteenth birthday is just one step closer to adulthood. A child is now a teenager and they want to have a little more birthday freedom than they did before. This is their opportunity to be taken a little more seriously and seen as a small step closer to making adult decisions.

Sixteenth Birthday- Primarily for a female, the sixteenth birthday is a step closer to womanhood. For many teens they are obtaining their driver’s license, in some states they can get a job, and many are now allowed to date. Sixteen years is just a little bit away from eighteen, and a teen is going to be sure you don’t forget that.

Eighteenth Birthday- Arguably some will consider their eighteenth birthday to be the most important birthday of their life. This is the day a child legally is called an adult, and life “begins”. While there are many ways to celebrate, the ‘new’ adult is sure excited about the day in general.

Twenty-first Birthday- A twenty-first birthday is the official step into adulthood. This birthday is more about celebrating with adult parties and drinking than any other birthday before or after it. At twenty-one most people are interested in celebrating with their friends and not necessarily their family, keep this in mind if you want to plan a party for your child or family member.

These five birthdays are standard for special birthdays in the average person’s life. Do not be surprised, however, if someone you care about says their favorite birthday is their twenty-fifth, or their thirtieth, or even their sixtieth. There are various reasons why a person may find one birthday to be their favorite over all others, it is a matter of personal opinion, and the experience one has on their birthday is what makes the day special!

Simple Tips to Repair Leaks in Your Roof

If you need to repair your roof leaks, we have some simple but important tips for you. It’s important that you locate and fix the leaks in order to prevent your roof wood from further damage. Read on to find out more.

Identify the Roof Leaks

Fixing roof leaks is much easier than locating one as leaks tend to develop away from the original spot. However, it’s better that you detect roof leaks as soon as you can. Once identified, you can fix the repairs yourself or look for a good professional. Given below are some tips that help you look for the leaks.

• Take a closer look at your attic interior and roof exterior for the purpose of inspection.

• Look for a hole between the sturdy hardwoods.

• Look for loose nails and inspect the tiles

• Look for the causes of cracks, gaps, and holes during the day. If you are using an external light, make sure you check everything properly. The flashlight should be bright enough.

• Take a look at the walls and the ceilings for any watermark.

Tips to detect Difficult Roof Leaks

  • After a rain, get a powerful flashlight and get inside the attic to examine it. Don’t step through the ceiling though. If there is no rain, drop water on your roof to cause an artificial leak.
  • Now, take a closer look at the rafters and roof decking above the wet point
  • Find out if there are any wet spots or stains up the roof decking or rafters
  • Mark the position of the leak on your roof

Solutions for a Small Leak

After the detection of the leakage source, you may want to take steps to fix it without wasting time. Although you may need professional help to fix some repairs, minor leaks can be fixed with DIY methods. Follow the tips given below.

  • You can use a special primer and patch to fix small holes in your roof
  • Fix your asphalt shingles or they may cause rainwater penetration, which may cause further damage
  • Unlike regular asphalts, laminated shingles are much broader and may require longer fasteners or nails for better security
  • Ideally, it’s better to fix the leaks when it’s raining as you will find it harder to detect the leaks once it stops raining.
  • It’s easy to repair weather-stripped dormers and walls as needed. However, if there is a missing or rotten siding, you may have to install a new piece.

Home Insurance and Roof Leaks

In some cases, your home insurance may provide coverage for your roof repairs, such as missing shingles after a heavy snowstorm or wind storm. In other words, if the damage is caused by an unavoidable event, your insurance provider may provide you with compensation. However, if the loss occurred due to your own negligence, you won’t be able to turn to your insurance provider. For instance, if you don’t take the steps to maintain your roof, you may not get compensation.

So, make sure you follow these tips to repair your roof leaks.

The Opponent’s Blade Is Your Friend

Generations of fencing coaches have taught, and generations of fencers have believed, that the opponent’s blade represents a threat. At one level this is true. After all, a hit delivered by that blade on the target in accordance with the rules of the sport brings the opponent one touch closer to victory, and you one touch closer to defeat. However, I think this is a negative view. I encourage fencers to view the opponent’s blade as an opportunity, a gift that allows you to frustrate its owner’s designs, and to score on the giver.

This is certainly a contrarian view. However, let’s apply standard fencing logic to the tactical situation. If we use Czajkowski’s model of foreseen and unforeseen actions as a point of reference, the opponent’s blade on guard is a potential. But we do not know how that potential may be applied, for its actions are unforeseen; offense, defense, or counteroffense are all possible. We can make risk assessments as to the opponent’s course of action and assign probabilities, but we do not know when, where, or how it will enter the fight.

However, when the opponent commits the blade to movement, its course of action becomes at least party foreseen. We know it is moving, we know in what line it is (although it may change), and we may be able to make a more accurate assessment of the opponent’s intent. Commitment of the blade makes our tactical problem more difficult in some ways, but we know that the opponent is taking action.

As the blade comes forward, the opponent’s ability to camouflage intent is progressively reduced. We can see the blade, its movement, and where it is. We can assess what to do as our uncertainty becomes smaller.

For some actions, we absolutely have to have the opponent give us their blade in an attack. If you are playing a parry-riposte game, the opponent must be willing to attack for you to be able to parry and riposte. If you are doing second intention or countertime, the opponent must commit to offense or counteroffense. Without it you cannot do the technique.

For other actions, we count on the lateral activity of the opponent’s blade. Attacking into a closed line or a stable open line with an opponent whose ability to parry is unimpeded are hazardous undertakings. In these conditions we count on being able to attack into an opening line, whether that is the result of opponent error or our feint, percussion, or leverage against the blade’s position. Once the blade is in motion in response to our motion, our chance of success is increased significantly.

Some techniques require that the opponent offer us their extended or extending blade so that we can use leverage against it. The family of takings of the blade (bind, envelopment, croise) all need an extended blade to operate against. And defensively, ceding parries and derobements depend on opponent’s attempting to exert leverage against our blade.

It is a truism that you attack the opponent, not the opponent’s blade. That does not mean that the opponent’s blade is not a party to our actions. Unless we execute a simple attack at the correct distance with the correct timing and movement, and with the element of surprise, any action that we do will either be to exploit the opponent’s blade or to defeat its movement. If we view that blade as a negative threat instead of as a positive opportunity, we will spend our time trying to avoid it being successful instead of using it to guarantee our own success.

LeBron and the Law of Attraction

LeBron is the epitome of the law of attraction. Why? Because he has the perfect body for basketball. He has a love in his life and 2 great children. He makes a lot of money from commercials and minority owner in the English Soccer Team. He appears to have great friends and gets to play basketball with his friends. He has dedicated his life since high school or even before that to be the best basketball player he can be.

Whether people like or dislike him right now is irrelevant. It breaks my heart to see people criticize or dislike him intensely him. I don’t like to use the word hate. Hate is a strong word and strong emotion and no one should ever hate anyone. Even if he shows a tough outer shell, I know it hurts him. He never hurt anybody or committed a crime. People who criticize LeBron James should look in the mirror before they throw the first stone at LeBron.

LeBron is an inspiration to me in my life. If I want something I have to work hard at it. The one thing that law of attraction has taught me is that the closer you get to your goal, if doubt seeps in you won’t achieve that goal.

I watched LeBron and the Heat throughout the 2010-2011 season. Few people thought the Heat would make it past the Boston Celtics-they did or the Chicago Bulls-they did. Everything pointed to the Heat to win the championship. So what happened?

I believe that the closer LeBron got to winning the championship, doubt started creeping in. Maybe he put too much pressure on himself but nonetheless, the closer he got to his 1st NBA championship, it appeared he starting doubting that finally he could win the championship.

It broke my heart when they lost but Dirk Nowitzki won so I don’t feel as bad. If the Boston Celtics or the Los Angeles Lakers had won, I would have been upset.

I believe LeBron needs a sports psychologist or a Master in Law of Attraction to help him see that ring on his finger and mentally go through the last games as getting all his basketball shots.

Though LeBron did not win the championship and I wish the Heat would have won, he showed me that go after your goal and don’t ever doubt it can happen otherwise your goal cannot be achieved. LeBron appears to be a kind and loving man and he gave to his fans as much as he could.

This is where LeBron has inspired me. Go after your goal and let go of your doubts if you want to achieve your goal. I believe LeBron will win a championship but first he has to believe it is possible at the last minute.

Proper Lighting For a Jewelry Store

Proper store lighting can attract more customers to any establishment, help sell more product, and strengthen a store’s image. Many designers argue that the most important element of a store’s design may be its lighting. Unfortunately, lighting is often the most neglected component of store design.

When choosing the lighting for any store or display cases, here are a few ideas to keep in mind.

Ceiling Height: The height of a store’s ceiling is one of the most important factors that goes into a plan for lighting a jewelry store in such a way that the merchandise looks spectacular. As the source of light moves farther away from the merchandise the power and intensity of the light diminishes. Stores with higher ceilings (over 9′) face some challenges with lighting. Stores with ceiling that are taller either have to use more lights that are spaced closer together to illuminate a showcase or bring the light source closer by dropping down a track or using a pendant.

Color: The color of light is measure in Kelvin (temperature). The higher the temperature (Kelvin) reading the cooler the color of light and the lower the temperature the warmer the color. For example a light that is 3000K would be a warmer color and a light that is 4000K would be a cooler light. As the temperature of light gets too high (over 4200K) the color of the light begins to take on a blue quality. Lights that are in the 5500K to 6500K will look “blue” to the eye.

Bulb Life/Quality: How long a bulb is expected to last is based upon its “rated life”. The better bulbs have a rated life in excess of 10,000 hours. The quality of a bulb can also be measured by its CRI (Color Rendition Index). The higher the CRI of a bulb the better the quality of the light that it projects will be. CRI numbers over 80 signify a very high quality of light. CRI numbers over 90 signify an exemplary quality of light.

Power of Light: The power of a bulb is measured in lumens. The amount of light that is generated is measured in Lux or, more commonly, in foot-candles (“fc”). The higher the lumens the higher the amount of foot-candles that will be generated by the bulb.

Different Light Sources: There are three main sources of light that are used in Jewelry stores. They are (1) Ceramic Metal Halide (2) Halogen (3) Fluorescent. LED technology is being used more and more but is still far behind the main three. The best source of lighting for jewelry is still Ceramic Metal Halide. This is due to its qualities. They are energy efficient, powerful (lumens over 6000), come in warm and cool colors (3000K to 4200K) has excellent CRI (over 80 and in most cases over 90 CRI) and can provide foot-candles that can exceed 400. Halogens are hot, have lower CRI’s, do not maintain their color over the life of the bulb and are about a quarter to a third of power of a ceramic metal halide. Fluorescents are energy efficient but do not project enough power to be useful in a jewelry store when it comes to illuminating merchandise.

LED’s are the “buzz” but they have limitations and problems. LED technology is constantly changing. An LED fixture you buy today is (as in the case of a personal computer) will be outdated within a year. Keeping a consistent color of the LED over time can be problematic due to the changes in LED technology. LED’s can make jewelry look great inside of the showcase but are not powerful enough to be placed over the case where the sale is actually made. Due to this limitation, a different source of light is required above the showcase such as ceramic metal halide or halogen. This is where the problems occur. What happens is that there are two different sources of light each making a piece of jewelry look different. As an example … a customer see’s a piece of jewelry inside of a showcase being lit by an LED strip. They ask to have the salesperson take it out for them to see it. It is taken out and is now over the glass being illuminated by a DIFFERENT light source which makes the piece look different. The customer begins to wonder if the lighting inside the case is there to “trick” them into thinking the jewelry looks good. As sales are finalized on the “glass” having a light source that makes the jewelry look the same inside the case as it does above the case is crucial to closing a sale.

TIPS:

(1) Most designers who understand the proper way to light a jewelry store will tell you that you light “for diamonds” and the rest of your merchandise will survive do just fine AND that if you light for gold your diamonds will die. Diamonds require a bright white light that provides enough power to make them sparkle. Diamonds should be shown under lights that are in the 4000 -4200K range. This provides a beautiful white color that stops short of taking on blue color qualities. Gold and warmer colored stones look the best under warmer colored lights 3000K to 3500K. However, if a store is going to use a single color of light throughout its showcases then the adage of “lighting for diamonds” is the way to proceed.

(2) Make certain that lighting is powerful enough to produce a minimum of 200fc. Having light that is less than 200fc is universally agreed to be lower than the minimum amount of light to properly light jewelry, especially diamonds. Readings of between 200 and 400fc is the optimum amount of light power over a showcase depending on the store owner’s personal preference as to the amount of light that they think looks best.

(3) Have ambient or general lighting be warmer and less powerful than the lighting over the showcases. The human eye is attracted to brighter light. If the general lighting in a store is the same color and power as that over the showcases then there will be nothing to attract the customers to the showcases and the store will have a cold non-inviting feel to it. By having the general (ambient) lighting less powerful (about 75fc) and of a warmer color (between 2500 and 300K) the lighting over the merchandise will stand out and attract the customer to the cases.

(4) When lighting a window display that has natural sunlight shining into it use twice the amount of light that would be commonly used over a showcase in order to combat the power of the sun.

When upgrading lighting the trend is commonly a change from Halogen technology. Customers who are using Halogen and who switch to ceramic metal halide will notice an immediate difference in the quality and power of the light, the decrease in heat and the remarkable change that it makes to their merchandise.

Things to consider when choosing the type of lighting:

Track: This provides the most versatility as fixtures can be moved and repositioned with ease. If merchandise is moved from case to case or showcases are moved track lighting provides the store owner with the most options.

Recessed: This provides the sleekest look. The limitations are that the store owner will be limited in their ability to add or decrease light as well as limitations with moving merchandise and showcases around inside of the store. Once a recessed light is installed the cost to add or take away lighting becomes a large expense as electricians are required to remove/move lighting as well as the issues involved with repairing the holes in the ceiling where the recessed fixture was installed.

Pendants: Pendants are a great way to bring a light source closer to the showcases where the ceilings are high and the store owners do not want to spend the money required to add additional lights to compensate for high ceilings.

Inside of Showcase Lighting: Having lighting inside of a showcase can really add sparkle and glitter to your jewelry. The best lighting for inside a case is LED. Be careful though when choosing the LED to make sure that the color of the light is not blue (5500K = color range). Having one color shining on your merchandise inside the case and a different color shining on your merchandise above the case has the real potential to lose a sale. Stores do not want their customers to be attracted to how jewelry and diamonds looks inside only to have it look different on top of the glass where the sale is actually closed. Customers will think that stores are trying to trick them through the use of fancy lighting.

Why Your Testicles Sometimes Shrink Up

Many men wonder who sometimes their testicles are more pendulous (hanging down) and why sometimes they are pulled up close to their bodies. This is during every-day activities and not related to sexual stimulation.

Sperm are very sensitive creatures. They are especially temperature sensitive. In order to survive, they must be at approximately 35-degrees Fahrenheit below normal body temperature. This is why the testicles hang outside of the body in the male, to keep them at this lower temperature (relative to body temperature). This is different than the female eggs, as they reside inside her body and are kept at normal body temperature.

The testicles are covered by a thin muscle called the cremasteric muscle. When this muscle contracts, the testicles are pulled up closer to the body. When this muscle is in repose, the testicles hang down.

When one is a very cold environment and the testicles are not externally insulated, such as a cold shower or bath, the cremasteric muscle will contract to pull the testicles closer to the body. The body senses that the testicles are getting colder that the 35-degree Fahrenheit factor so it pulls them up closer to the body to keep them warmer through direct body heat. This is why your testicles will shrink up closer to your body. Your body is doing this to ensure that the sperm are in an environment that won’t be too cold to kill or injure them.

The opposite applies to when one is in a very hot environment. Like being in a sauna or hot tub. The cremasteric muscle relaxes to get the testicles as far away from the body as possible, as your body doesn’t want any more heat transferred to the testicles than what is necessary. This is why on a hot Summer’s day, your testicles will be hanging down and at their most pendulous. Your body automatically helps regulate the temperature of the sperm’s environment through this mechanism of the cremasteric muscle.

Holographic Tourism

The World of Virtual Reality is expanding into the tourist trade. Most major tourist spots in the world have virtual tours of their cities online and you can peruse much of it from a bird’s eye view online, similar to home shopping and virtual tours. Nearly all-major Universities either have such “Campus Tours” or they are in development to recruit future students and assist in decision-making.

Indeed the virtual tourist is a growing industry and it is bringing the world closer together too. With Google’s Satellite photos online on their map search feature, one can see exactly where something is and then zoom in for a closer look.

But what if you could bring the Smithonian Exhibits and other notable museums around the World into your own living room? Could it be possible? Wouldn’t that be the coolest? Well some visionaries in hologram 3D technologies are working on it right now.

You see, Holographic Technologies are getting closer to becoming reality and soon we can see the data on our computers in 3D, 4D and 5D. We will enjoy Virtual Reality on our 360 X-Box in our living rooms.

We will communicate in video conferencing with the image of the other people sitting next us, but not actually there. All this is on its way and even more, as the applications are endless indeed.

Perhaps the most promising of all Holographic Technologies is in turning your living room into a virtual reality cave with full motion holographic images, as you tour the Worlds treasures and wonders. Think on this.
