Making Punched Tin

By Arturo Ronzon Punch cutting is a form of artwork that mainly uses tin as its medium. Tin is a very soft and malleable metal that is very well suited for punch cutting. Since tin is easy to shape, adding indents or perforations to tin pieces takes little effort. Tin is also very popular for punch cutting since it does not give in to the elements easily. Rain and salt water will not rust away tin so punch cutting works of arts will remain works of arts for a long time. To create the indents and perforations, punch cutters use special punch cutting tools to create three-dimensional perforations on the tin pieces. Most of the time, a punch cutter would use a stencil or some form of guide when working on a tin piece. This makes punch cutting easier as one can create the patterns and preview them before doing the actual cutting. Three-dimensional computer aided design software could also be used to visualize the finished tin product for those punch cutters who are computer savvy. Once the design is finalized, a stencil or guide can be printed out and used for punch cutting. Other tools are available to punch cutting craftsmen if the computer is not an option when creating tin works of arts. Special pieces of cloths and papers can be used to test out design templates that would be used for punch cutting beforehand. The artist would shift around his punch cutter so that whatever letters or words that would be part of the final design would form properly. This design and testing process takes some time and a lot of patience. Quite a bit of artistic skill is needed too so that is why more people prefer to purchase punched tin rather than create it themselves. Purchasing punched tin is not that expensive. Industrially produced punched tin artwork offer a wide range of choices at a low price since tin itself is really cheap. The price will start to really shoot up if you decide to hunt for a piece of punched tin antique. Punched tin antiques are mainly handcrafted and offer designs that cannot easily be found today.

Ridding Yourself Of Being A Manipulator To Better Your Relationships

By Brian Maloney One of the oldest character flaws in humans is their ability to manipulate each other. Its insidious nature tilts our everyday playing field toward the manipulator. The manipulating person has a basic personality flaw that has a direct link to control, but primarily the ever-abundant insecurity issue. So, how is it that we deal with these types of people to level the perverbial playing field? Well, for a moment, lets just consider the problematic issues that these types of people have so as to better understand what approach to take. In being manipulative, one would only need to look at the why and what, not the how, because the how is obvious. How do they do it? They use words as their arsenal for control. One should understand that manipulative people are generally control freaks who need to have the people they attempt to control conform to their ideology. By leveraging control over a particular situation, they satisfy the craving to fill that void of not having personal control, therefore obtaining it from another person. It is quite obvious that always trying to tilt the scales for yourself by being manipulative reflects a security problem in yourself. Its simple! If you do not feel secure with yourself, than you are insecure. Ah…but to what degree you may ask, do you have to be so insecure that you always attempt to obtain control and security elsewhere? Insecurities are in us all. We all feel vulnerable at times in any given situation, but what would propel us to be so insecure that we need to control others in our environment? This question could be answered differently for almost every manipulative person because what drives us to manipulate might be extremely deep-seated in one, where in another it is seated quite shallow. Most people have heard in one place or another; you can only control certain things in life, and much of the other stuff you need to just let the chips fall where they may. This is very true. Lets just look at one simple example to conceptualize. You have five one hundred dollar bills you have alloted yourself to use in attempts to make more money, so you head for the closest casino. Now, blackjack is your game of choice, so let me illustrate your possible control. You could, when the dealer asks you to cut the cards, place the divider at the very end, thinking this will stack the hands in your favor. You could change tables because one dealer is what you would call bad luck. The fact is that once you put your money down, you lose control of the situation. The dealer will deal you a winning or losing hand and you simply have no control over the situation, yet you might try to seize control by many illogical means in attempts to win. By not attempting to control everyone else, you come to an understanding that letting people live their lives in peace without your controlling ways, is the healthiest way in going about your relationships. Others will detect a distinct difference in your personality and certainly appreciate you, rather than resent your ill will. This is, again, a change in approach and attitude towards others that will need to be worked on everyday. In addition, one should want and need to see progression everyday to confirm the diminishing of this toxic characteristic. Let go of your need to always control and manipulate, it will definitely become a more harmonious existence, not only for others, but for yourself. by Brian Maloney-ValuePrep.com Want to improve your personal values?

Saying That You Are Shy At First Will Ruin Any Chance Of Success With Quality Women Online

By Teddy Shabba A line that I see in a lot of men’s profiles that hurts their chances of success with quality women more than it helps is; “I am shy at first, but am a whole lot of fun once you get to know me.” Most women have the ability to know what a man is really saying; “I have nothing to offer you, but if you stick around long enough you might find something.” Quality women and for that matter women in general simply delete or move on to the next profile. However, women who for whatever reason could be considered evil women also know that men who write such a thing in their profile are actually telling her; “I have nothing to offer you but I will do whatever you want me to do.” Instead of pity evil women see opportunity, and depending on what she is looking for and your income bracket will determine if she takes advantage of you or leaves you for the next evil woman. Now, I know the main reason most guys even write that in their profiles is because it sounds nice and it is genuinely how they feel around women. If you are that guy; Stop It! Right Now! Women can write that they are shy in their profiles because it is cute and weakness is an attractive quality in women. However, any man who reveals inner weakness to a woman I his profile or even in his words is just pathetic. Instead of telling the world how weak of a man you are online you can begin to take the steps necessary in order to become a man and begin attracting women. Teddy Shabba is a Dating Coach for Men who has a daily newsletter that provides you with a wealth of information on how to be more successful with women.

How To Control Oily Skin – Part 1

By Louise Forrest Try applying baby powder with cornstarch to your oily facial zones. The powder helps keep your face looking fresh all day if you apply it after your foundation and before your normal powder. Name brand is not important, just that you get the kind with cornstarch in it. Remember to use moisturizer after cleansing if yoBaking Soda, you can add a tablespoon of baking soda to your favorite mild cleanser (full bottle). It will provide gentle exfoliation and kill bacteria at the same time. Cornstarch; use cornstarch brushed with a light hand and a large powder brush before you apply your normal powder. Gatorade; apply Gatorade to your face with a cotton ball, rinse when you feel tingling. Hand Soap; use a very mild antibacterial soap on your face every once in a while. The milk and honey types offer a bit of moisturizer while cleaning, but you will still need to moisturize with a good moisturizer for oily skin. Honey; this is a natural moisturizers and antibacterial agent which cleans while it softens. Apply a tablespoon to your face and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. This can be used as often as necessary. Lemon; Squeeze a fresh lemon and apply the juice with a cotton ball; let it sit for 3 minutes before cleansing but do not leave it on your skin any longer than that. If your skin gets irritated, try mixing it with witch hazel in a 50/50 solution. Moisturize; because lack of moisture tends to make your oil glands work overtime, do not bypass the moisturizer. It is always tempting to leave the moisturizer out when you have oily skin because adding moisture to a face that is already over producing oil does not seem logical, but do not give in to the temptation. Apply your moisturizer to a damp face and it will help seal in much needed moisture, which can help your oil glands begin to regulate themselves. Oil Absorbing Sheets; found in local drug and discount stores can help you tone down the shine that begins to show in the middle of your day. They are good for use with makeup because they tone down the shine without removing makeup. Oily skin can be an aggravating part of your life, but if you care for it, it will care for you. People with oily skin tend to show age more slowly and burn less then their dry skinned counterparts. Using the following tips compiled from real people who face the dilemma of successfully controlling oily skin, you will be able to find ones that work for you. Sandalwood; just mix enough witch hazel with sandalwood powder to make a paste. Apply to your face and let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Steam; open your pores before cleansing once or twice a week. There are two ways you can do this. First (and best) is to boil a pot of water; once it begins to boil, take it off the heat (and away from the stove). Lean over the pot with a towel over your head, creating a tent over your head and the pot. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF. The steam will be trapped by the towel, allowing your face to get a mini sauna which will open the pores. Immediately cleanse with a mild cleanser and follow with a good moisturizer for oily skin. Tea Tree Oil; apply this natural oil to your skin at night and remember to drink plenty of water. The combination will clear your face quickly. Triggers; learn to recognize the various internal and external things that cause your oil glands to kick up the juice. Stress is often a factor as well as many environmental factors. Once you know which things trigger your oil glands to over-produce, you can work to avoid them. Water; drink your 8 glasses a day! Water helps clear the toxins trapped in the skin as well as providing internal moisture to it. When your skin is hydrated, it does not need to try to compensate for dryness. This does not mean that you will never have oily skin, but it will gradually become much more balanced. Louise Forrest has created the ultimate FREE Health & Beauty guide.

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #45

By Tami Close Self-appreciation! When we love ourselves, we are in a state of high joy vibration. We have light all around us. We love the good and the so-called obstacles, which by the way are only an illusion of our perspective of those obstacles. Years ago, when I was really sick for several months, this was definitely an obstacle.or was it? I initially saw it as an obstacle, but then I changed the way I looked at it. I had such profound thoughts of worry and fear a lot of the time, and didnt understand how my thoughts were attracting everything I didnt want, including this illness. During this time, I allowed myself to do my internal spiritual work that I needed in order to SEE, really open my eyes to my life at that timewho was I and what would a person have to believe about herself to be thinking worry and fear a lot of the time? I had thoughts of Why did this illness happen to me? Then synchronicity occurred. I started to read all these spiritual books which happened to just come into my life at the appropriate time. These books discussed variations on the Law of Attraction. I realized that I attracted this illness because there were lessons that I needed to learn from it, and truly get it! I was ready to receive the information and make huge changes in my life. Sometimes the gift is in a different package than what we would hope for, isnt it? Prior to that illness my connection to God was very corroded. I was existing in a state of darkness with those negative emotions that were overwhelming at times, especially at night. But you know something? I soon realized that I was the one who kept turning off the lights, and I had a decision to make. I wanted to get well, but I also wanted to know how to create my life differently. I knew that I was emerging as this butterfly coming out of her cocoon that she put had put herself in for so many years.

The obstacle is only an illusion as there is something profound being revealed to you. You only have to open your eyes to see the gift of YOUand love yourself more. Heres a beautiful quote taken from, “Hot Chocolate For the Mystical Lover” by Arielle Ford: For Betterment of Conditions by Anonymous. Everything that I do, say, or think is governed by Divine Intelligence and inspired by Divine Wisdom. I am guided into right action. I am surrounded with friendship, love, and beauty. Enthusiastic joy, vitality, and inspiration are in everything I do. I am sure of myself because I am sure of God. I know that what is ‘mine’ will calm me, know me, rush to me. Isnt this beautiful? Recently, when I was seeing something as an obstacle, I was talking to a friend and she read this to me over the phone and it changed my thinking. I am surrounded by beautiful friends. Do self-appreciation. Nurture yourself. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. When seeing something as an obstacle, then do a simple process. Say, I see you obstacle and I love you for revealing yourself because youre showing me that there is something greater in store for me. Then get up and shake your hiney and shout, I am awesome!

Master Franchise Agreements and the Royalties From Sale of Additional Franchises

By Lance Winslow Often when franchising companies use strategies of Master franchising to expand their brand-name they will make a deal with the Master franchise to split the royalty payments. Sometimes it Master franchise will take over an area which already has franchisees in its region. This is done by some franchisors to help alleviate the burden of management of single franchise outlets in remote regions, which were previously sold. It also provides upfront monies from the Master franchise to help with the ongoing cash flow of the franchising organization. The payments and royalty split of these monies must be clearly defined an addressed in the franchising agreements. Below please find a copy of a clause that I inserted into my franchising companies franchise agreements. 2.2.1.1 Royalties From Sale of Additional Franchises In consideration of any franchise of The Car Wash Guys or Wash Guys Systems that the Master Franchise sells, Master Franchise shall pay to Franchisor, a royalty for each truck/unit of $100.00 per month. This royalty fee is due and payable in full on the seventeenth (17th) calendar day of each calendar month. These royalty payments are to be paid for every truck and trailer unit the Franchisees operate. Payments of continuing royalty fees are not refundable and must be made via bank wire or such other electronic funds transfer procedure as Franchisor may require. The remainder of the royalty collected by the Master Franchise shall be retained by the Master Franchise for operating expenses. ————- ———– ————- Careful attention should be given to the clauses in the Master franchise agreements to protect the cash flow of the franchisor into the franchising company. To insure that your company is protected it behooves you to consult with an experienced franchise attorney. Consider this in 2006. “Lance Winslow” – Online Think Tank forum board.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT): When You Can’t Find The Words There’s Anonymous Tapping

By Rod Sherwin The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an innovative approach to healing that is gaining attention from medical professionals and laypersons all over the world. EFT can be applied to any emotional and physical issues you can name and often gets results when nothing else works. The basics of EFT can be learned by anyone and can be self-applied (usually in minutes). The success of EFT lies in the balancing of the body’s subtle energies that flow through the body, in much the same way as blood flows through veins. This balancing is done with an elegant sort of emotional acupuncture. Instead of using needles, specific points on the body are stimulated by tapping with the fingertips. As you are tapping, you say a reminder phrase that helps you to stay focused on the specific issue or feeling that you are looking to treat. The default phrase is “Even though I have this …… (name the problem), I completely love and accept myself”. Advanced EFT practitioners will vary this phrasing considerably to approach problems in a variety of ways. For beginners of EFT, sometime finding the right words is a stumbling block to getting started. However, sometimes you can’t put words around the feeling. For example, you come home from a long day at work and just feel tired and run down. In this case, do a couple of rounds of tapping (3-5 rounds, or more) tapping 5-7 times on each tapping point without saying any words and just allow your system to unload whatever disruptions are there. I call this Anonymous Tapping. I also find that Anonymous Tapping is very beneficial just before going to bed. Again, it helps release all the tension built up over the day and improve the quality of your sleep. Remember, saying something specific to focus on an an issue will always be more effective. Only use anonymous tapping to settle yourself down in general. Rod Sherwin is an Advanced EFT Practitioner and founder of the innovative Tap4Health EFT Practice in Melbourne, Australia. Tap4Health helps people with any emotional issue that you can think of such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma & abuse. Rod has nearly 7 years of experience helping people transform the quality of their lives through advanced technologies such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT), Metabolic Typing, and NLP. He has worked in a leadership capacity all over the world with Anthony Robbins, a world authority on peak performance and personal transformation.

Housewarming Gift Ideas – What is Appropriate?

By Sharae Taylor A friend of yours has just made the transition from renter to homeowner. So what to give as a housewarming gift? Friends that you are close with are the easiest. You want it to be personal, memorable as purchasing the home was.You can wait for the housewarming party or you can take the initiative and start planning you gift right away. A realtor friend of mine and I came up with a great unique gift idea that she gives to all her clients when they purchase a home from her realty company, a “Guardian Angel for the Home” Angel painting. She includes a card that states “This Angel is created especially for Your Home … I ask that it protect you and bring you joy, health, and happiness”. I liked the idea so much since I am an Angel collector and Angel artist and Angels are for everyone, I have started giving these as a housewarming, hostess or thank you gift. You can always do something different, but try and keep the person in mind. Are they a “do it yourselfer”? Home Depot or Lowe’s would be a great place to find a gift or even a gift certificate and is an excellent gift because such centers also sell gardening must haves, grills, small home appliances and tools that every homeowner needs. Are they a movie buff? Gift certificates for movie rentals or the purchase of their favorite DVD. Music lovers you can do the same thing by adjusting it to music or if in the big city … tickets to a musical? With that new mortgage they may hesitate to purchase frivolous things for themselves. Put on your thinking cap! Many unique gift ideas can be inexpensive. A photo album for the new pictures of their new home. A basket full of spring bulbs to plant and include the gloves and instructions on how to plant them. Luxury bath items for that long soak in the new whirlpool bathtub in the master suite. Fireplace tools or a chord of wood are a good item if they have never had a fireplace before. Dinner at their favorite restaurant. How about a subscription to their favorite magazine or newspaper delivered to their new address? The point is, you want something that is going to be enjoyed. A gift that is taken out of the box and not a dust collector. There is something special for every budget that you can give that adds to the delight, joy, and thrill of the new homeowner. Sharae Taylor Sharae Taylor is a well known Intuitive Angel Artist whose paintings are in world wide collections and her works have been exhibited with other well known Angel Artists Andy Lakey, Donna Terody Sheratan, Gary Markowitz, past art editor of “Angel Times” magazine, and K. Martin Kuri, Angel Artist and Author. Sharae has also participated in many Angel Expos and Angel Conferences with other well known Angel Authors like Alma Daniels author of “Ask Your Angels”. Her Angel paintings are featured in the newly released “Angels” DVD by Llewellyn and New World Music and was featured in the February 2005 issue of Planetlightworker.com Sharae is a published author in magazines and ezines.
