yeah; I don't even know where to go with it but I'll accept that she knows it is power and move on. I hope your co-worker at least doesn't try to colour the paint with the uv resistant additive and wonder why it won't work :<)

My partner of 11 years just dropped a bombshell on me. She was asking me to put a new "motor" in the downstairs clock that takes batteries as it is going bonkers. I said 'no problem, we can buy a new electric clock machanism at the hobby store" and she looked at me like I had grown a third eye; you all know the look. This brought up a discussion of what comes out of a battery; not electricity, as far as she was concerned it was power. So we went through defining the different types of power and then went back to the battery and I asked again; not electricity, power. We went around in circles for a while and she swears she can't understand how power can turn into electricity. What comes out of a solar cell; power. What form is the power, what kind of power comes out of the wall socket; electricity, so what comes out of a battery or a solar cell; power!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is right of course but we need to define the type of power in order to control and use it.

some peole cut grooves in display wood and stand them up there or mount them to picture frames for hanging, glue them to the glass or make a recessed display behind the glass, attach them to matting.

The only place I can suggest is Hand 2 Mouth Mining out of California, I am pleased with their quality and I'm sure if you asked, some "special" material could be rranged; they are easy to communicate with.

Really nice material, it does look as though there is some really distinctive cabs in there.

Yeah guys WTF!!!!!!! Is it the fact that it is a CBS site or something. Is the CBS a gateway news site that will slowly turn you into an informed voter or something, like Maryjane is supposed to be a gateway drug that will insidiously lead you into sin.
