Cold Steel Knives

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

I just saw this amazing variety act on the television. Well, I say amazing, but I suppose I really mean completely mad and scary really! There was a chap on there who was juggling with cold steel knives he was very good at it but I still thought it was a huge risk. I could not imagine doing that. I own several knives and I would not like to juggle with them. I can juggle a little bit and although I am not that good, i woudl still be very wary of juggling these things. Not only are they small and hard to catch, they are unbelievably sharp.

I think that it is rather a silly thing to do! I have never been tepted to juggle my Buck knives or my Benchmade knives and I cannot understand why anyone would think it was a good idea. Juggling with fire is bad enough but I suppose people do that because there has been a long tradition of people doing it, not that I see that as a good reason! However, the knife thing is completely barmy in my opinion and I woudl not like to see anyone else trying to do it, however good at juggling they think they are – they might find they were juggling their fingers next!

Shopping Nitro Cars

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

If you loce car topys, you may want to buy a nitro RC car. When you go out to buy a nitro RC car you will see that many of them come pre-packaged in a box. With these kits you will probably not need to buy anything extra and if you do it will be minimal. However, you may want to buy an RC truck that is separate or that has not been assembled yet. If this is the case then you will need to buy quite a few accessories in order to build. This requires both skills and experience. If you have been working with plastic model car kits for some time then you may already have the majority of things you need. Anybody at the store will likely be able to tell you what you need and what comes with the kit. One thing you will definitely need is a radio control that has a receiver, a nitro engine, and some way that will start the car’s engine. All of these cars run on nitro fuel, so it is important that you have this as well so you can fill your engine up and run your new little car. Be careful that you do not buy regular fuel for your nitro car because it will not work. You must buy proper nitro fuel for your car to work properly. If you are a beginner the easiest thing you can do is buy a nitro car kit that comes with everything you could possibly need.

How long does the life of a PSP fully charged last?

Thursday, November 29th, 2007
  1. idk i dont play those things
  2. 6 hours i think maximum
  3. go over to system settings and then go to battery, it will tell you, but i think its usualy like 6 hours not sure
  4. uhhh….24??Lol.. i’m not sure…
  5. if you use it for about an hour each day for 3 days it should be dead on the 3rd day, i have one and i use it for an hour mostly, but i don’t know longer than that, but i do know that the battery sucks lol.
  6. depends on what battery u get
    u can buy a battry with good stamina in best buy and circut city
    it will give u 5 more hours than the regular batery
    Normal = 5
    Buy new battery with good stamina = 12 - 15 hours

    depends on what use u give to ur PSP
    playing with a UMD disc would make the PSP run out fo battery fast since the disc reader is working
    but if u just use it ti listen to music watch videos and all of that or thing that dont involve games ur battery would last longer

Is a buffalo head nickel still valuable if you cant see the year on it because it’s so worn out?

Thursday, October 25th, 2007
  1. It is probably still worth at least 5 cents.
  2. Sorry :-( I don’t think so, and to worth more than a quarter, it would have be in perfect condition.
    There are a lot of them still out there, so they aren’t yet that valuable…except for a few years , I cant think of exactly which ones right now and still they are not worth that much, if in good condition around $3.50
  3. The value is based on the date being there! even if just the last 2 numbers are all thats left there, it has value above 5 cents.
  4. Yes it is don’t spend it just keep it .
  5. Not really

1. Can anyone give me an idea of some fun arts and crafts for kindergardners ages?? PLEASE help son is bored?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Build paper garlands by cutting long strips of construction or other paper, coloring them, and taping the ends in a circle. You can build a chain to decorate the house or his room, or wherever he wants.

My daughter and I also love the games on Kindersite (http://www.kindersite.org/directory/dire… and it’s designed by teachers to be fun and educational.

If it’s a hyperactivity emergency, a good way to calm little ones down is to put on some fun, energetic music, and tell them to shake out their sillies. Give him directions on what to do (”shake your sillies out your fingers; wiggle them out your left leg, etc.”) and turn it into a fun dancing game for him by occasionally yelling “freeze!”

This one’s great, because you don’t necessarily have to do it too, you just have to be able to tell him directions every so often, and keep him interested by changing it up.

To experienced quilters — what are the 10 most essential tools a beginner needs (besides sewing machine)?

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Tools you will need:

1) Rotary Cutter
2) Olfa Mat (or any other self-healing mat) 18″ x 24″ is a good size
3) Ruler- (Omnigrid is great) a 6″ x 12″ ruler is good
4) A good pair of fabric scissors to use only for cutting fabric. I use Fiskars
5) A good iron (for pressing when you are piecing)
6) Pins. Choose long, thin, sharp (dressmaker’s) pins for piecing and appliqueing. They should also be rustproof.
7) Needles - sharps and betweens for quilting and applique
8) Quilt frame (for hand quilting)
9) Thread. Get the best you can find. For your stash, I recommend: white, tan, or medium gray cotton or cotton-covered polyester sewing thread. Polyester threads can cut cotton fibers.
Natural or off-white cotton or cotton-covered polyester quilting thread to use for hand quilting. Clear, transparent, nylon thread for machine quilting. The thread should be thin and soft, not stiff and wiry like fishing line.
10) A 1/4 foot for your sewing machine. This makes is so much easier to do 1/4 inch seems.

Books: Quilter’s Complete Guide my Marianne Fons and Liz Porter 1993 Oxmoor House, Inc.

Quick and Easy Quiltmaking: 26 projects featuring speedy cutting and piecing methods by Mary Hickey, et. al. That Patchwork Place c. 1992

The Quilter’s Ultimate Visual Guide from A to Z - Hundreds of Tips and Techniques fro Successful Quiltmaking by Ellen Pahl

Also- any books by Alex Anderson. She has a show on HGTV (or used ) called Simply Quilts. She has published books on hand quilting, piecing, etc. She is considered an expert in her field and her books are filled with easy to do projects and easy to understand instructions.

I highly recommend going to quilting classes at a local quilt shop or at a place like JoAnn’s. The teachers know what they are doing and will be happy to show you how to do it the right way. I stated off on my own and ran into problems and became very discouraged. I started taking classes and my skill levels increased and I have completed many nice quilt projects since then.

Which one is a better system, PS3, Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii?

Friday, September 7th, 2007

PS3 is the most powerful, followed by the 360, then the Wii.
PS3 will have the most exclusives and bigger game library
(including the most amount of RPGs, like always)
PS3 online play is free.
PS3 can play blu-rays.
Wii has the quarky new controller.(might make games more fun)
Wii will have the regular amount of party games.
Wii will have zelda, nuff said?
360 has Halo 3(some believe is reason enough to buy it alone(i do not))
360 is out now.
360 rates 2nd in performace….

So depending on what is important for you I would go with that.

Personally? I like RPGs alot, along with their exclusives(Devil May Cry, among others) and like the concept of free internet so I’m going with PS3. Theres a reason for grabbing every system, though. Choose whats best for you.

There is no real “best system”, just the best system for YOU.

Edit: after reading one of the above comments, the PS3 price isnt really out of hand, because the 500$ system is VERY good, and will be the one I’m getting. the differences between the 500 and 600 versions are negligible unless you have an HDMI tv(which most of us dont). Also, the online play will be free, so after 2 years its the same price as Xbox 360 anyways, and will thus only go down from there. Wii’s price is very very VERY reasonable, though.
