    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you love to read as much as I do, then you should consider making your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/reading" rel="tag">reading</a> even more <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fun" rel="tag">fun</a> by making your own book mark to hold your spot in your current favorite book. I started making my own book marks a few years ago and have become almost addicted to it. Sometimes I use a book mark over and over again, but often I will make a special book mark for each book that I read. It gives me something to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/look+forward" rel="tag">look forward</a> to when I start a new book and it keeps me motivated to keep getting into the book and getting the pages turning. <br /><br /> Does making your own book mark seem a bit too artistic or creative for your skills? If so, then read on. Know that your special book mark doesn't have to impress anyone other than you. The important part in making a book mark is simply that you make it. It matters little if at all the quality or creativity of the book mark you make. One of the most necessary elements in making a book mark is to enjoy it. You and I both know that the last thing we need is one more thing in life that we do not enjoy. So enjoy yourself! Don't take the project of making book marks so seriously that you do not have fun. I <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/guarentee" rel="tag">guarentee</a> that making book marks will only last as long as your fun lasts. <br /><br /> Gather ideas for great book marks from everywhere. Look at fabrics, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/magazine+ads" rel="tag">magazine ads</a>, and even photographs. The more ideas you gather, the better your chance of making book marks that you truly enjoy. And do not let yourself discount ideas simply because they seem silly or too childlike. Sometimes the most simple ideas turn out the best. <br /><br /> I have started making book marks that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/match" rel="tag">match</a> the tone of the book I will use the book mark for. So, for example, a heavier novel may get a more serious, darkly colored book mark than say a light-hearted comedy I am reading. I try to make my book marks match the feeling I am anticipating about the book. <br /><br /> Making book marks can also be a great gift to give friends and family that enjoy reading like you do. Not everyone, even if they absolutely love reading, will take the time to make a book mark for themselves. So be a great friend and make a book mark or two for each of your reading friends. What a simple and great gift to give.   <bio>Belina Storrey has fallen in love with making book marks. You can too. Check out <a href="http://www.bookmarkhelp.info">http://www.bookmarkhelp.info</a> for more on book marks. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Many people have to deal with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/striae" rel="tag">striae</a> in their lives, though they've probably never heard the term. Instead, most folks know them by their more common name: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+marks" rel="tag">stretch marks</a>. Stretch marks occur whenever we increase our body mass faster than our skin can accommodate. <br /><br /> Our skin has a certain amount of elasticity, which allows for movement and growth without constantly developing stretch marks. However, when our rate of growth exceeds the level of elasticity in our skin, stretch marks will occur. Most experts will tell you that the key to treating stretch marks is in preventing them in the first place by keeping your skin continually moisturized. However, for those of us who already have stretch marks, such advice isn't exactly music to our ears. We just want to know how to get rid of them! <br /><br /> Many commercially available lotions and creams have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beneficial" rel="tag">beneficial</a> effect on existing stretch marks. Keep in mind that no cream is going to completely eliminate your stretch marks. If such a cream existed, it would make front page news around the globe. However, you can minimize the appearance of stretch marks. <br /><br /> To help minimize stretch marks, you're looking for products which replenish the natural oils in your skin, especially anything high in vitamin A, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vitamin+e" rel="tag">vitamin E</a> and alpha hydroxyl acids (also known as "fruit acids.") Make sure you rub them deeply into the areas around your existing stretch marks. By keeping your skin in good condition you will both minimize your existing stretch marks and help prevent the development of new ones. <br /><br /> While you wait for your stretch marks to fade, do your best to not feel self-conscious. I know you're faced with the images of "perfect" models on magazine covers at the supermarket, but keep in mind that they have a professional airbrush artist working overtime to keep them hidden!   <bio>Try our <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+cream" rel="tag">stretch mark cream</a> / <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+treatment" rel="tag">stretch mark treatment</a> for reliable stretch mark treatment. <a href="http://www.scarstretchmarkremoval.com/stretch-mark-cream.html" >http://www.scarstretchmarkremoval.com/stretch-mark-cream.html</a> <a href="http://www.scarstretchmarkremoval.com/stretch-mark-treatment.html" >http://www.scarstretchmarkremoval.com/stretch-mark-treatment.html</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ As you have probably read, a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+treatment" rel="tag">stretch mark treatment</a> comes in a variety of forms. They range from skin creams to skin massage to the most radical form - surgery. Each of these treatments has its pros and cons. The good news is that they are all effective to varying degree. <br /><br /> We believe that the best stretch mark treatment is the one that works for you. Forget all the claims and marketing hype. It is a fact that some people respond better to a certain <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+remedy" rel="tag">stretch mark remedy</a> than others. Unfortunately, finding the right option may involve a little trial and error on your part, so you need to be flexible and keep an open mind when evaluating each remedy. Here are some of the most popular <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+treatments" rel="tag">stretch mark treatments</a> available today: <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+creams" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+cream" rel="tag">Stretch Mark Cream</a>s</a> <br /><br /> These <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+remedies" rel="tag">stretch mark remedies</a> are the easiest to use and can be very effective at reducing the appearance of the stretch marks. Can they eliminate the stretch mark itself =96 of course not. They work by repairing and rejuvenating the damaged skin. In the process, the skin will appear more natural and will fade the stretch marks. <br /><br /> Some of the better creams are quite effective at repairing the damaged skin. The results are quite impressive with the stretch marks becoming barely visible. This approach to stretch mark treatment is the most convenient approach because it can be done at home without a doctor's prescription. <br /><br /> If this option is attractive to you, and many women do swear by these creams, stick with the higher quality stretch mark cream products. You will see results quicker and the effects will be more dramatic. <br /><br /> The Retinoid Option <br /><br /> These are retinoid medications that work by removing the layers of damaged skin a little at a time. This allows for new skin to form, providing a more natural color and texture. They go by the more common names of tretinoin, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/isotretinoin" rel="tag">isotretinoin</a> and retinaldehyde (retin A). <br /><br /> This remedy can be effective, but a common side effect is skin irritation. These compounds generally require a prescription and the treatments need to be done under proper medical supervision. Obviously, the cost of these treatments is much higher than the home therapy option. <br /><br /> Laser Therapy at Work <br /><br /> This is a relatively new stretch mark remedy and is starting to become a more popular treatment option for stretch mark removal. It works by repairing your skin's natural synthesis of collagen, helping to fill in the stretch mark. A benefit of laser therapy is that it can penetrate deeper into the skin than the stretch mark creams and reach the layer where the collagen is produced. <br /><br /> The procedures are relatively pain-free, but the number of sessions required will depend on the size of the stretch marks and the area being treated. The downside of this option is that it involves a major time commitment and major investment. <br /><br /> The Ultimate Stretch Mark Remover - Cosmetic Surgery <br /><br /> This is the only treatment that can claim to be a permanent solution to stretch mark removal. In this procedure, the damaged skin is actually removed. But don't get too excited yet! This is a serious medical procedure that has its risks. So before you consider this option seriously, a consultation with your dermatologist is recommended. Another downside to this solution is that this type of procedure is usually not covered by medical insurance and the costs can be EXORBITANT. <br /><br /> To find the best stretch mark treatment for you will require some serious thought on your part. Remember =96 be flexible in trying different stretch mark remedies and keep an open mind. And above all, be patient! Your stretch marks didn't appear overnight, so they will take time to respond to your selected treatments.   <bio>Bill Wilson is a professional researcher and freelance writer for many popular skin care publications.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Despite the simple functionality on many levels of a domain name, it is vital to the success of an online business enterprise. At its heart, a domain name essentially is an address that tells a user of the Internet how to find a particular website. In many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/instances" rel="tag">instances</a>, the owners of trade or service marks use their marks as part of their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/business+domain+names" rel="tag">business domain names</a>. Nonetheless, there are many instances in which someone else may take advantage and start using the trade or service mark as part of another domain name. With this well in mind, it is incumbent upon trade and service mark owners to monitor to make certain that others are not misusing their intellectual property in the registration of other domain names. <br /><br /> No matter how the domain name usage actually is discovered, trade or service mark owners have two basic options for resolving disputes over domain names. First, a person or company can take action under the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/uniform+domain+name" rel="tag">Uniform Domain Name</a> Dispute Policy. The benefits of this process is that it is relatively fast and relative inexpensive. There are drawbacks that include the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fact+that+this" rel="tag">fact that this</a> process is not available to all domain names, it is not appropriate for license disputes and damages and attorney fees cannot be recovered through this process. <br /><br /> The other alternative available to a person or company who believes it has been wronged or violated in terms of a domain name related issue is the Anti-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cybersquatting" rel="tag">Cybersquatting</a> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/consumer+protection+act" rel="tag">Consumer Protection Act</a> ("<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acpa" rel="tag">ACPA</a>"). The ACPA was enacted in 1999 and was designed to prevent cybersquatting on the Internet. <br /><br /> Cybersquatting generally is considered the use of domain names that are confusingly similar to trademarks and service marks owned by other business enterprises or individuals.  The ACPA can impose liability on the registrant of such a domain name (or its licensee) if that person or entity has done the following: <br /><br /> (i)has a bad faith intent to profit from the mark; and, <br /><br /> (ii)registers, traffics in, or uses a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to the mark and the mark (or dilutive if the mark is famous) was distinctive (or famous) at the time of the domain name registration. <br /><br /> The ACPA does establish a set of nine nonexclusive factors that a court may utilize in working to determining whether a person or entity has acted in bad faith, has a bad intent, in regard to a domain name registration. The ACPA states that "Bad faith intent . . . shall not be found in any case in which the court determines that the person believed and had reasonable grounds to believe that the use of the domain name was a fair use or otherwise lawful." <br /><br /> For example, the actual trade or service mark owner must demonstrate that the challenged domain name is confusingly similar to its own trade or service mark. Only the challenged domain name and the trade or service mark will be compared under the ACPA. According to the ACPA, the proper inquiry is whether the defendant's domain name is so similar to the plaintiff's trade or service mark that the two could be confused by a third party. <br /><br /> If the mark owner is successful in the action, the court may order the forfeiture, cancellation or transfer of the domain name. Moreover, the mark owner may recover the defendant's profits, any damages sustained by the owner of the trademark and its costs of the action. <br /><br /> Pursuant to the statute, the owner of the mark may elect to recover statutory damages, in lieu of actual damages and profits. The court can award statutory damages in an amount between $1,000 and $100,000 per domain name. <br /><br /> Claims that are made under the ACPA and UDRP are two options available to trade and service mark owners who are trying to protect their mark from being used by others in bad faith.   <bio>Robert Masud, Esq. is the principal of Masud and Company LLC, a law firm for the world of business, finance and the internet.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Though very often referred to as an attorney in the United States of America, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mark+seif" rel="tag">Mark Seif</a> is more popular as one of the most successful Professional Poker Players. In the present times, he has a gained immense popularity as a commentator for the television series on the Professional Poker Tour. This television series is broadcasted on the Travel Channel.

So far as his nativity is concerned, he is from Las Vegas in Nevada. Seif was introduced to the game of poker when he was merely a child of six. In the earlier years, he used to learn poker in the home game of his parents. It may seem quite contrasting that in spite of having an early start, Seif took a considerably long time before gaining widespread public recognition. He had to wait till the month of August in 2002 when he finished up in the fourth position in the second <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/world+poker+tour" rel="tag">World Poker Tour</a> in that year.<br><br>Mark Seif achieved the credit of money finish in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/world+series+of+poker" rel="tag">World Series of Poker</a> for the first time in May in the year of 2003.

Mark is most commonly popular for his winning two <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/world+series+of+poker+bracelets" rel="tag">World Series of Poker bracelets</a> in the year of 2005. He won the bracelets back to back. The most interesting thing about his second bracelet victory is that he bested a field of as many as 2013 Professional Poker Players. The list of the Poker Professionals whom Mark defeated in the final table includes reputed Poker Players like Bill Gazes, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dave+ulliott" rel="tag">Dave Ulliott</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/greg+raymer" rel="tag">Greg Raymer</a>.<br><br>Mark Seif has other great achievements too in the year of 2005. He won seven-card stud US Poker Championship in the later half of 2005, which was organized at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City in New Jersey. It is in that very year that he managed to make the final table at the World Championship of Online Poker.<br><br>Mark Seif is remarkable for being unpredictable while playing the game of poker. It is for this reason that he has been nicknamed as Mark 'Un' Seif. Though he does not possess any of the highest ITM main event finish, he has two bracelets as well as 6 money finishes in the World Series of Poker to his credit. So far as his performance in the World Poker Tour is concerned, he does not have any title to his credit. But, he has reached the final tables twice and has 6 money finishes in World Poker Tour. Mark Seif purchased a US Poker Bowl franchise in the name of Detroit Absolute Nuts in the year of 2007, who won the very first US Poker Bowl Conference Championship. So far as his performance and achievements in the year of 2007 is concerned, his earnings amount more than 1.9 million US dollars.<bio>Let Brian Garvin and Jeff West teach you more about <a href="http://www.pokerstarsdirect.com/mark-seif.html">Mark Seif</a> and <a href="http://www.pokerstarsdirect.com">Poker Chips</a>.

This agreement is a written contract in which the holder of a trademark (licensor) grants the revocable right to a second party (licensee) to use the holder's trademark in exchange for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/royalty+fees" rel="tag">royalty fees</a>. Without the license, the licensee could not legally use the trademark.<br><br>Trademarks are a type of intellectual property. Trademarks are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/distinctive+signs" rel="tag">distinctive signs</a> or indicators-usually phrases, logos, slogans, designs, images, or combinations thereof-that identify a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/specific+company" rel="tag">specific company</a> or organization to the public. Protected marks are accompanied by the superscript "TM" for trademark, "SM" for service mark, or the encircled "R." They are similar to copyrights and patents but also have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/distinct+differences" rel="tag">distinct differences</a>. One of them is the protection they receive. Copyright protection spans the length of the author's lifetime plus another 70 years; however, trademark protection is usually only five years, and it must be attentively guarded.<br><br>Similarly, trademark license agreements are also of limited duration. While a trademark owner may license the mark, knowing full well that the ownership does not pass to the licensee, the owner may also go one step further and sell the mark to a buyer. A sale, however, must include the underlying goodwill or assets that make the mark what it is. Without such goodwill or assets, courts have determined that such a sale is a fraud on the public, similar to selling a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/brand+new+car" rel="tag">brand new car</a> that lacks an engine.<br><br>Trademark license agreements should contain a handful of essential clauses for everyone's protection, including the public. First, the trademark must remain somewhat exclusive. A licensor would be foolish to dilute the mark by licensing it to every maker of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ball+caps" rel="tag">ball caps</a> in the market. Such a scenario might seem like a bonanza for the licensor, but it would soon become absurd as trademarked caps flooded the market. Second, the licensor must make certain that the licensee adheres to the licensor's preexisting quality control standards. To license the mark and then to discover that it is to be placed on substandard licensee products would be disastrous for all parties. Next, it is up to the licensor to provide examples of the mark, in various media forms if need be. If the licensor leaves it to the licensee to try to copy the mark as best it can, then surely trouble will result. Instead, the licensor should provide exemplars and hold the licensee to them-no slight modifications of font or color or spacing; no additions of phrases or images; nothing to alter the mark in public's eye.<br><br>Fourth, the licensor must have veto power over the use-not merely the design-of the trademark. The licensee should not be permitted to use the mark in connection with the licensee's political or philanthropic causes (even if they are good causes), if the agreement was for use of the mark only on the licensee's ball caps. If the licensor does not want the mark used with political or religious organizations, or hawked to promote alcohol, the agreement must give the licensor this veto power. Lastly, the license agreement must tie these protections together under a monitoring and inspection provision. Here, the licensor can pre-approve licensee samples, so that problems do not arise later. Monitoring may seem like a luxury, but it is a necessity, for a licensor that does not monitor the quality of its products and does not safeguard its mark can be deemed to have abandoned the mark-akin to commercial suicide for many companies.<br><br>While these provisions might seem to protect only the licensor, in reality, they protect everyone. For a diluted or abandoned trademark hurts the licensor, the licensee, and even consumers.<bio>Mark Warner is a Trademark License Analyst for RealDealDocs.com.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ As kids or even as adults, we may be fascinated to look and try on our grandmother's or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/great+grandmother" rel="tag">great grandmother</a>'s <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/jewelries" rel="tag">jewelries</a> that have been <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/carefully" rel="tag">carefully</a> stored and handed down to our mothers and to us.  For all we know these vintage jewelries may be worth something so don't just throw them out just because they look old and out of style. Besides, you have to admit that the fashion of yesterday is slowly coming back again and people are always looking for trinkets that are old and antique. They do look great and unique. <br /><br /> Since we may not be experts when it comes to dating <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vintage+jewelry" rel="tag">vintage jewelry</a> that may have been handed down to us, it is important that we do some research about it. The first thing that you could do would be to look for some designer marks or maker's mark. Though not all vintage jewelry always have this mark and it doesn't follow that without a designer's mark your vintage jewelry has no value. You could locate this at the clasp or at the back of the piece.<br /><br /><br /><br /> You could also ask the person who handed it down to you like your grandmother or mother especially if they are still alive to have an idea of its history and when it was probably made. They are most likely the ones to know how old this piece of jewelry is. If it has stones on it, examine them if they are real or fancy. It would be better though to have it really examined by a jeweler especially if you are not that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/knowledgeable" rel="tag">knowledgeable</a> when it comes to these matters. <br /><br /> To find out more about your vintage jewelry you could always visit your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/local+library" rel="tag">local library</a> for resources and materials. You could also find a lot of websites online dedicated to vintage jewelry.<br /><br />If you were able to find a maker's mark, search for it. You could even bring along your jewelry to be able to compare it with similar pictures that you will find.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Vintage jewelry in one way or another especially if kept in good condition has some value. It is important that if you intend to clean them, you clean them carefully to preserve and not to destroy its antique look. Utilizing a baby toothbrush is ideal since these are made with very soft bristles. It is best to clean dry and not use wet solutions if possible. If you want to remove smudges or marks on rhinestones, you can utilize a cotton swab dipped a bit in a mild solution of water and liquid soap. Of course, you need to gently do this since rhinestones would be more damaged with moisture and wetness.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Take your time, to ensure that you preserve your vintage jewelry for more generations to come.   <bio>Mary Lorainne writes about <a href="http://www.jewelryanddiamondguide.com" >http://www.jewelryanddiamondguide.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

After commissions, I net $100. Basically, this is a $100 bill printing press. <br /><br /> -Avery <br /><br /> See all those filled gaps?!?!?! <br /><br /> You would have made over $1.00 per share on every trade! The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/qqqq" rel="tag">QQQQ</a> doesn't count, I just use it to gauge the market. But it, too, filled the gap...<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lol" rel="tag">LOL</a>! <br /><br /> Compare the middle indicator to before... see how much trading each cross can net you? <br /><br /> It really is simple, Mark. I think you can "feel" it... can't you? <br /><br /> - Avery <br /><br /> Hi Mark: <br /><br /> 1) Let's say a trader starts with $25,000 and trades 1000 shares. If the trader nets $100 a day pretax on ONE TRADE, with 22 trading days a month that's $2,200 in about 30 minutes or less per day. <br /><br /> Ok..that's enough for now. I have picked The Rumpled One's mind clean over the past week nailing down his "fade the gap method."

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The best time to start using a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+removal" rel="tag">stretch mark removal</a> cream is during the early stages of pregnancy. However, it is not too late to start using the cream and get great results even after already developing stretch marks on your skin. Other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+creams" rel="tag">stretch mark creams</a> might offer to remove stretch marks completely but only a few of them truly works. There are three options to choose from and any one of them can be your best bet against this unsightly problem.<br><br>Scar Removal Process<br><br>The first <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stretch+mark+removal+cream" rel="tag">stretch mark removal cream</a> that might work for you is one that boasts of scar removal process. The first step in the healing process involves the stripping of dead layers of skin by the ingredient glycolic acid. The glycolic acid that can be found in the formula is one of the most popular ingredients in the world used for skin exfoliation. The problem of stretch marks is contributed by your skin's inability to discharge <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> which is why stretch marks become a permanent scar. The exfoliation of your skin will counter this problem by allowing new skin to form and take the place of the dead skin.<br><br>The second step in the process is the promotion of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/collagen+production" rel="tag">collagen production</a> by the ingredient called centillica asiatica. This ingredient is a natural extract that can stimulate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for skin tone and structure. Without collagen, the layers of the skin are weakened and can easily break once it is stretched which results to the formation of stretch marks. Therefore, the second step in the healing process involves the strengthening of the skin. The third tier in the scar removal procedure uses medicinal ingredients from nature to restore the skin to its healthy state. These include Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/witch+hazel" rel="tag">Witch Hazel</a>. These all work together to heal and tighten the skin.<br><br>Safe to Use<br><br>There is also another stretch mark removal cream that can help you with your stretch mark problem. This product is safe to before, during, and after your pregnancy. Stretch marks are essentially scars and are difficult to remove completely which is why prevention is important. And one way of preventing scars from forming is by using the cream even before stretch marks have developed. This formula contains one hundred percent natural ingredients like squalene oil, aloe vera, grapefruit seed extracts, vitamins E, D3, and A. These ingredients are potent enough to increase the elasticity of your skin and to promote the production and restoration of skin cells. In addition to those benefits, this cream can also strengthen and protect your skin. But most importantly, it can help diminish the appearance of stretch marks.<br><br>Anti-Oxidants and Collagen<br><br>The last option is using a Collagen-rich product, another major protein that make up the structure of the skin. This product can provide the skin with these essential elements because it contains active natural ingredients that are composed of peptides, proteins, anti-oxidants and humectants. Humectants help keep your skin moisturized. Once these substances reach the skin, the scars and the discoloration which characterizes stretch marks are greatly reduced.<bio><a href="http://beautysecretstoday.com/revitol-stretch-mark-prevention/">Get rid of stretch marks</a> quickly.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[From <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/david+donaldson" rel="tag">David Donaldson</a>: One of the most unique things about writing with Mark Grisham, compared to the things I write solo, is how we divide up the research and development of each work. After completing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/three+novels" rel="tag">three novels</a> together, I feel we are just now "coming into our own," as it relates to the process of writing.<br><br>For instance, our first novel, <i>Bedlam South</i> was a plunge into deep waters for me personally. Mark had spent most of his life studying the Civil War era in American history. And honestly, he is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met on the subject. We have spent countless hours together, listening to him tell of particular leaders, battles, and environmental causes of the war I never knew existed. Once we decided to write a novel using the Civil War as the backdrop, for me, the real work began. Researching this period of time was fascination, exhausting, and at times, overwhelming. Most of my characters focused around the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/city+of+richmond" rel="tag">City of Richmond</a>, the asylum nicknamed Bedlam South, and the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fledgling+field" rel="tag">fledgling field</a> of psychiatry. Mark dove in feet first into the intricate details of troop movement and battles describing everything in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/explicit+detail" rel="tag">explicit detail</a>. Honestly, at times, it was like he was actually there! <br><br>By the time we began working on our second novel, <i>Chiasson</i> (don't get use to the name, our agent has already said it will change), I had a much better idea of how the process could work. I thoroughly enjoy research. So learning about new places and events in history came natural. Developing the plot, scene by scene, with two <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/different+perspectives" rel="tag">different perspectives</a> was becoming the most significant obstacle for me personally. I'm a planner, let's sit down and plot out our path for the next six months! Mark, is completely the opposite. My friend would often call, and began a sentence with something that could make my detail oriented <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/little+heart" rel="tag">little heart</a> skip a beat. He would say, "Hey, I know we said JC and Duvall were going to do this, but I just wrote a scene going in the opposite direction!" I would take a deep breath, sigh, and reply. "Well, Ok. I guess that would work. I would only need to change about five or six scenes I have already written, but sure - let's do it!" It was times like these that I was grateful to God Mark and I are such good friends.<br><br>Our last book, Butcher's War. Was probably the easiest of all three for us to research and develop. The backdrop was once again the Civil War, Sherman's march to the sea. And once again, Mark was in his element. This time, our research led us to travel to Georgia, touring many of the sites the book would encompass. I especially enjoyed touring the Milledgeville Hospital and Asylum. Just walking the grounds and touching the buildings did something for me. It made our research come alive. <br><br>I don't know what the future holds for Mark and I. Our next book is currently being researched and we are exploring a different period in history once again. One this is for sure, I know the research and development will be my most enjoyable aspect of the project!<bio>Mark Grisham, an aspiring author, and David Donaldson, CEO/President of Impact Missions, co-wrote Bedlam South. A portion of all book sales will be donated to Impact Missions, a faith-based ministry dedicated to providing care to abused children, hurting families and impoverished people.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Always position a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mortise+lock" rel="tag">mortise lock</a> in the centre of the door edge where it will give the strongest fastening. There is a specially reinforced point for fixing on some doors. This will be marked on the door edge. <br /><br /> First wedge the door open so that it can be worked on from both sides. Some manufactures provide a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cardboard+pattern" rel="tag">cardboard pattern</a> for marking out the lock position on the door. Other wise use the lock body as a template to mark out the mortise. Place the pattern or casing against the side of the door and mark around is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/outer+edge" rel="tag">outer edge</a> in pencil. Remember that the faceplate is recessed into the outer door edge so if you are using the lock itself the mortise will in fact be approximately 4mm deeper than you have marked it. <br /><br /> Continue the line onto the edge and other side of the door using a square or lock casing body again. Then set a marketing gauge to half the width of the door and score a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vertical+line" rel="tag">vertical line</a> down the outer edge between the two marked out lines. If you do not have a gauge, measure this distance with a rule. <br /><br /> The mortise should now be drilled and cut. When you have finished, try the lock body in position and make sure that the cover plate is level with the door edge. Mark around the outside of the cover plate and remove the lock. <br /><br /> We used our Stanley chisel to cut out a rebate so that the plate fits flush against the door edge. If your feeling clever you could use a small router for this, however I know many people who have gone straight through the side of the door doing this. Trend Machinery sell a excellent lock jig that solves this problem. If you are going to fit fitting a larger number of locks the trend lock jig is defiantly work a look. <br /><br /> Now mark and cut the key holes. Hold the lock body against each side of the door in turn and push the point of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bradawl" rel="tag">bradawl</a> through the keyhole cut in the lock casing. This will mark the door with the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exact+position" rel="tag">exact position</a> of each keyhole. <br /><br /> Remove the lock and with 13mm drill bit bore two holes through to the centre from either side of the door. We used the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panasoni" rel="tag">Panasoni</a>c 7440 for this. The keyhole shape can then be cut out by using a pad saw or with a small chisel, (we did not have a pad saw to hand at the time of writing so we used one of our Stanley chisels again). You can cut a bigger hole that what is needed as in most cases the keyhole will be covered by a face place. Once the key hole has been cut, slide the lock into position and try the key from both sides. If every thing is ok you and then screw the lock into the door. <br /><br /> All that remains is to fit the striking place into the doorframe. This is usually the making or breaking of most locks. So take your time and remember measure twice cut once. <br /><br /> To mark the position of the rebate hold the door open and turn the lock. Remove the wedge, and then push the protruding bolt against the frame and mark top and bottom with a pencil. This will tell you how deep to cut the rebate but not the exact position in which it has to be cut. Instead of relying on guesswork, it is possible to get a more accurate result by marking the bolt end with chalk or crayon then stuffing the door and turning the lock a number of times. The result will be a chalk mark where the end of the bolt strikes the inside of the doorframe. <br /><br /> With a 12mm, chisel chop out a square sided hole to accommodate the bolt. The hole should be a few millimetres wider and deeper than marked to allow for a slightly larger bolt box. <br /><br /> One the bolt box is cut, slide the plate into position and mark around the outside with a pencil. As with the lock body, you will find in easier to cut a rebate if you run a trimming knife around the outside of the striking plate first. Chisel out the rebate then mark and pre-drill the screw holes with the bradawl. Before securing the plate, make sure that the door will close properly.   <bio>Johan Nickson has been an expert in the DIY industry for Thirty Year <a href="http://www.powertooldirect.co.uk" >http://www.powertooldirect.co.uk</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ So far, we have discussed the first three steps for tube <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/feeding+a+puppy" rel="tag">feeding a puppy</a>. Listed below is the four remaining steps on how to properly administer the procedure. <br /><br /> Step 4: With the puppy's mouth open, insert the end of the tube into the groove formed by the top of the tongue. Carefully push the tube back into the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pharynx" rel="tag">pharynx</a>. You have to push the tube straight in until it reaches the depth of the pre-determined mark. If it does not go down smoothly to the depth of the mark, it is not where it should be. If the tube is accidentally inserted into the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trachea" rel="tag">trachea</a>, healthy puppies will cough and struggle violently. In addition, a tube that is inserted into the trachea will usually stop about half-way to the mark where it encounters the division of the trachea. Once the tube is successfully inserted to the depth of the mark, slip your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/thumb" rel="tag">thumb</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/forefinger" rel="tag">forefinger</a> from the cheeks to the tube, and hold it firmly in the mouth at the level of the mark. Slide your other fingers up and around the puppy's head, leaving the little finger behind the front legs to give it a steady hold.  <br /><br /> Step 5: While the tube is held firmly in place, stick the open end of the tube into a small jar of water. If a series of bubbles are produced in the water, it is likely an indication that the tube has slipped into the trachea. It may also indicate that the puppy has a little gas in his stomach. In any case, however, the tube should be removed and blown clear of water, then reinserted until no <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/air+bubbles" rel="tag">air bubbles</a> appear in the water. <br /><br /> Step 6: Once the tube is safely inserted in the stomach, continue to hold the tube firmly in the puppy's mouth with the thumb and forefinger. With the other hand, place the open end of the tube between the forefinger and middle finger of the hand that holds the tube in the puppy's mouth. Once again, with the opposite hand, pick up the previously filled <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/syringe" rel="tag">syringe</a> and insert it snugly into the open end of the tube. <br /><br /> Step 7: With the syringe firmly attached, apply gentle pressure with the thumb to the syringe plunger and deliver the substitute mother's milk. Continue to deliver the food until the correct amount has been administered. Then, draw back slightly on the plunger and gently slip the tube out, still attached to the syringe.   <bio>John Mailer has been an internet marketer for a number of years.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Even if you aren't the handiest of people, you think you can at least hang a picture. Stick a nail in the wall and you are done. However, if you want to do the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/job" rel="tag">job</a> right, you have to think about a few things first. The item being hung and the type of wall should be taken into consideration. If you want to do the job right this time, use these hints. <br /><br /> Make sure you get the right kind of fasteners. The most common are picture nails or hooks, but they may not be ideal for every situation. If the wall you are hanging the picture on is mad of concrete, brick or stucco, a regular picture nail will not work. You will have to use a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/concrete+screw" rel="tag">concrete screw</a> to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anchor" rel="tag">anchor</a> the picture and to make sure you will not chip away a chunk of the wall. If you are hanging a large, heavy picture, you will have to use a plastic anchor or molly screw to add strength and prevent the picture from pulling the nail out of the wall. <br /><br /> Now decide upon the placement of the picture. The height of the picture should traditionally be so the center is at eye level. Have someone hold a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tape+measure" rel="tag">tape measure</a> against the wall and mark or note where the number that is at eye level. You will center your picture on that. It is then easy to determine the total height of the picture, since you should then measure from the bottom of the picture to the highest point of the mounting wire and subtract half of the picture's height and add the difference of the eye level height. Mark that spot for the placement of the hook. NOW measure the entire space for the picture and find the halfway mark. . <br /><br /> Now that you have your mark, hold the fastener in place and nail or screw it in the wall. Then hang the picture, taking care not to scratch the wall. Stand back and make sure you like the effect. If it feel too high or low, adjust the wire rather than making a new <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hole+in+the+wall" rel="tag">hole in the wall</a>. <br /><br /> Of course, if it is in a grouping, you will have to lay out all of the pictures on a floor or table in the grouping you want and then do your measurements as above to correspond to each picture. You will want to use a level to make sure each of the pictures is level. <br /><br /> It may seem like a lot of steps to hang a picture, but you will see that it was worth the time when the picture looks centered and level and therefore adds to instead of detracting from the room.  <bio>Ray Walberg frequently edits summaries on ideas relating to drywall repair and taping techniques.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Cutting a Mitre <br /><br /> A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mitre+joint" rel="tag">mitre joint</a> is used to join two lengths of wood together at a right angle. Each piece is cut at 45 degrees so that when they are put together they form a 90-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/degree+angle" rel="tag">degree angle</a>. You can cut mitres by hand, after marking carefully, but it is much easier to use a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mitre+box" rel="tag">mitre box</a>. This has two pairs of 45-degree slots cut into it to guide the saw as it cuts the piece of wood. You are best using a tenon saw with a mitre box, as it is rigid. This makes it easier to keep parallel with the work surface. <br /><br /> Secure the mitre box with a vice or a couple of clamps. Once secure this will give you a free hand to hold the piece of wood being cut. Before using the mitre box, screw a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/shallow+piece" rel="tag">shallow piece</a> of waste wood to the inside so that the base will not be damaged by saw cuts, Measure and mark the wood to the correct length and line up the mark with the appropriate slots for the right or left mitre. <br /><br /> Take great care that you get the mitre sloping the right way and that you mark the wood on the right side. If you mark the outside of the frame, make sure that the mitres slope inwards. Get this wrong and you may end up with a piece of wood that is too short, and hence useless. <br /><br /> Hold the piece of wood tight against the far side of the box and, keeping the saw parallel with the base, make the cut through the saw guides. <br /><br /> Remember to always use a sharp pencil or, even better a marking knife to mark the wood when cutting mitre joints. The thickness of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pencil+line" rel="tag">pencil line</a> can make all the difference between a perfect mitre and one that is lopsided. <br /><br /> The problem with a mitre box is that it only enables you to cut a 45-degree angle. While this is great for putting a picture frame together or edging a doorway, for generally wood work you will need to cut many different grades. <br /><br /> Compound <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mitre+saws" rel="tag">Mitre Saws</a> <br /><br /> In the past few years compound mitre saws have become cheaper and cheaper, with even top brands like Makita offering a saw for less that a hundred quid. Using a powered mitre saw makes the job of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cutting+angles" rel="tag">cutting angles</a> I would say about four hundred times easier. <br /><br /> More expensive compound mitre saws include a guide laser. This projects a red line onto the piece of timber, showing you exactly where the blade is going to cut. <br /><br /> A compound mitre saw also makes an excellent alternative to a radial arm saw, providing the panels you want to cut are not too wide for the saw to cut. <br /><br /> Summary <br /><br /> If you are a DIY enthusiast, you are best just buying a mitre box. A compound mitre saw is not worth the money, as cheap as one can be, for making two cuts a year. Unless you have, money to burn that is. However if you are into woodworking tools I would recommend buying a compound mitre saw today. It is amazing how easy they make life.   <bio>Johan Nickson is a power tool consultant writing for <a href="http://www.powertooldirect.co.uk" >http://www.powertooldirect.co.uk</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>
