My, you have been busy Linda. Cards look great. I like your style - each card is a one of a kind. When I attempt to
make cards mine look sort of 'assembly line'. I guess part of that is because I make two of three just alike when I
finally get around to making them. I need to get motivated into making cards ahead like you do. The bad part is I
already have an altered tin to store them in and no cards inside. How sad is that? Don't you just love the mini albums
from TLC? Yours looks great. Thanks for sharing, Sandy "Linda C" <lindacurley63@gmail.com> wrote in

putting together a piece of furniture - "spares" - LOL. There was a sketch included with the kit, which I
followed to the T, so I don't know where they should have come, but I'm sure I'll find a good use for them anyway :)
I added ribbon and made the four paw embelishments extra tho, so I guess it cancels out! I'm definitely going to try
and making cards of the leftover materials after making a LO. I think it's a great idea. Thanks for taking the time to

to me this month. I am so excited!!! 12x12 and 8.5x11 baseball and football themed papers and some pretty pastel
green/blue patterned papers. roll of hot pink ribbon pretty paper Prima flowers of all sizes watercolor pencils and
water brushes! 2 boxes of American Crafts ribbons a large diamond background stamp Four rubber stamps from Club Scrap. A
faded rose, a window, one that looks like cancelled stamps and handwriting on it, and a smaller one that
says"postal card". They are antiquey or old world looking. a brown Chalk-a-lots ink pad and of course BUBBLE
WRAP!! I love bubble wrap!!! :-) (I'm a dork, I know..LOL) Anyhoooo...... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Amanda!!! I
got home today after a loooong day of cake decorating, and found a lovely white box on my kitchen table waiting for
me..I swear it was talking to me.."Open ME!!" You totally spoiled me, I love everything...The ribbons and
flowers are so pretty. I have very little girly stuff. I have always bought items with my boys in mind, and now I am
starting to realize since being in RCS that I need more girly things to have on hand to make gifts and cards for other
people. I have been eyeing that diamond stamp for a long time at HL....how did you know? The brown ink pad is cool. I
didn't have a brown like that! Those rubber stamps are awesome! I can't wait to experiment with them AND the watercolor
pencils and brushes. I want to do some more ATC cards and they will be perfect to use for those! I have two days off in
a row next week, and I want to take at least one whole day to play with my new toys...it is gonna be HOT HOT HOT here
next week. 100-105 temperatures. yuk. My A/C and me will get along just fine LOL Love those papers! Never can have
enough paper....(can you say paper floozy?...thats me!) Got to get going here to get ready for my DS basball end of the
season picnic. and its HOT..again..yuk. Ya'll take care!! Linda [/quote:2035a9889a]

that dragons should be nice and shimmery and that might be something that people would buy because it's a big and rather

According to Michael A. Terrell <mike.terrell@earthlink.net>: [quote:e36c7493f3]"DoN. Nichols" wrote:
The AMP ones also have a second screw (a long slotted setscrew), in a square nut which drives the tapered Delrin block
which serves as the cable clamp. IIRC, some of the earlier ones had three screws, instead of just one. I was using a
DE size hood with a single screw, no cable clamp. I've seen, and may have some of the others. The hood for the three
row, 50 pin connector has three screws in some versions. [/quote:e36c7493f3] Which one? The DB series with the
high density 50 pin, or the DD series with the normal density 50 pin? I've used both, and I still have both -- though I
use the DD-50 more often for older Sun SCSI boxes. [quote:e36c7493f3] Yes, it is black bakelite with a pair of
"F"s , a "G" and a "P" molded in. It is made to be screwed to a board, and top wired.
Interesting. *Those* I don't have -- though I have some octal ones which were used mostly for relay sockets in
industrial controllers. Do you have any "loctal" sockets around still? I have one used one, and two that
were never crimped into the mounting flange left. [/quote:e36c7493f3] O.K. AFIK, I don't have any left, so I
was just wondering. :-) [ ... ] [quote:e36c7493f3]How hard would it be for you to machine the outer edges from
one of the 8P8C dies to make it wide enough? IIRC, the overall width of the connector is the same. They have simply
taken some of the thick walls of the 8-pin version and added another pair of slots for the blades -- and of course the
internal guide grooves for the wires under the blades. They don't bother documenting the width for either those or the
8-pin connectors in that catalog page. Certainly if the connector is wider, I won't have room to widen the dies for my
AMP crimper for the modular plugs -- and AMP/Tycho does not sell dies for that crimper. But perhaps I could work with
one of the cheaper "pliers" crimpers for that purpose. If you don't need the wires, you don't have to worry
about crimping those positions. [/quote:e36c7493f3] Well ... I have to shove the contact blades in so they don't
hang up on the wires, even if I am not making connections with them. And the 4 serial-port card warns against using the
8-pin plugs in the jacks, saying that it *will* mangle the pins in the female. [quote:e36c7493f3]Personally, I would
make my own dies for my 1 ton arbor press. I have severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so some hand tools are out of the
question most days. Then you would probably like my crimpers for 8 ga through 4/0 terminal lugs. It is a hydraulic
head, with the choice of a hand-pump, a foot pump (which I don't have), or an electrically-cycled pump. I'm set for all
of them except 4/0. I don't have those dies. There are two heads -- one for 8 Ga through 2 Ga, and the other for 0
(1/0) through 4/0. I got the electrical pump first -- as part of a surplus sale when I was after something else -- but
once I saw it I realized what it was and kept it. I've found deals like that too. ;-) [/quote:e36c7493f3] And
the start of a collection. :-) [quote:e36c7493f3] For the smaller range (8 Ga through 2 Ga) there are other self-
contained hand-held and hand-pumped hydraulic crimpers -- but for the 1/0 through 4/0, the head is always separate. I
first *used* one of those when I worked for Melpar back in the mid 1960s, and they had the foot-pumped version at that
time. This is why I recognized the electrical pump when I got it. :-0 Why make life harder than you have to? Using
those heavy hand crimpers will cause lots of wear and tear you don't want to face later in life. [/quote:e36c7493f3]
It is *already* later in life. At least, for me, I have been forced onto Medicare, instead of my preferred insurance.
As for why the hand-pumped crimpers? 1) The first one came with the first die in the smaller range (8 ga -
2 ga). Something like $5.00 at a hamfest. 2) Some of the others came from eBay later -- and were bought to
get the dies which they came with -- building up an almost complete set of those. 3) Only *after* I got
those did I get a separate head (also from eBay) which I could connect to the electric pump. 4) And
*finally*, I got the head for the larger size -- 1-0 through 4-0. That one came with an air-over-hydraulic pump
which went to a friend, since I already had the electric one. [quote:e36c7493f3]Somewhere I still have a crimper made
from a smaller arbor press than the 1/2 ton one -- dies and guides which were semi-affordable. I now have a really nice
press by T&B Ansley which came from a hamfest. Thank goodness I had a folding wheeled cart to carry it back to the
car. :-) I used to take a hand truck and my full sized Chevy stepvan to hamfests. I pick up a pair of brand new
enclosed relay racks one year for about $30 each at the end of the hamfest. I asked him what the rent for another day
was going to be on the U-haul trailer, then offered to pay the difference. I was shocked when I found the wholesale was
over $1000 each. :) [/quote:e36c7493f3] I've gotten cabinet racks from hamfests too -- though not two at a
single hamfest. Good ones are expensive new -- though I've never bought one for *home* new -- though for our computer
center at work, I was in the position of selecting racks from time to time. [quote:e36c7493f3] That is the left column
labeled "Modular Plugs". The first two items in the right hand column are the two different 4P4C jacks, and
the widths are .48" and .395". If you look, you will see that the narrower version is more expensive, which
suggests that it doesn't sell as well. Yes -- but we were talking about the plugs, not the jacks. I realize that, but
I wanted to point out that there are at least two widths. [/quote:e36c7493f3] O.K. and only the jacks
documented that. And it was the two widths which started this exchange. :-) And the one in the puzzle photo was
certainly the wider of the two. You can see the grooves which would accept the other contact blades if they were
fitted, and would at least guide the contact wires in the female. [quote:e36c7493f3]In the plugs section, only the
narrower one is called a "4P4C". The wider one is called a "6P4C", and is given a WE part number of
"623", while the "4P4C" is given a WE part number of "616". Of course, the
"6P6C" is also given the WE part number of "623". it seems that there is a bit of confusion between
the terminology of the plugs and the jacks. Measuring the width of my example of a "4P4C", I come out with
0.298" (Probably 0.300" was the target dimension.) Note also that there are some other specialized ones which
I don't see here. There is a 6P6C which has the locking clip offset to one side which is used as a serial port on DEC
VT-320 terminals -- and I think the VT-220 as well. Those are newer than the DEC terminals I've worked on. I still
have about 50 terminals to give away, or scrap. Most are color, and were working when I put them into storage.
[/quote:e36c7493f3] O.K. I have a couple -- one 220 and one 320 -- which I use as consoles on some of my
servers which don't need a heavy and power-hungry monitor for their function. :-) Enjoy, DoN.

20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in
step-by-step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But

just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $5 and half an hour of their
time to participate in this program: "What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just 3 weeks ago, and
although I haven't made 15 grand yet, I'm already up to $9,135. I'm absolutely gob smacked." -Pam Whittemore , Ohio
"Well, what can I say?... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mail's out like you said and then I just forgot about the
whole thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my paypal account a week
later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days I now have over $11,000 to spend! I can't thank you enough!"-Juan
Tovar, NY,NY "I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal account. Within 3 weeks my
account balance has ballooned to $12,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!"
-Richard Barrie , Boulder,CO The only things you will need are: An email address. A Business PayPal account with at
least $5 deposited in it, and just 15 to 30 minutes of your time. This program takes just half an hour to set up. After
that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, and there is NO
LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business program. Let's get started, just follow

days! **JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.** Explanation of why it works so well:
$$$$$ NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00
with my email at ..5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings,
each with my email at ..5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those
25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my email at ..4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now,
those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my email at ..3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make
an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my email
at ..2 and they only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message
to 200 newsgroups with my email at ..1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With
an original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING!! When your email is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting
in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to emails on the list, putting your email at number 5 again. And start
posting again. The thing to remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading
these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $5.00?? And see if it really works?? I think so?
People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what are the chances of that
happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups
everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users everyday, with thousands of those
joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn't another one of
those crazy scams! As long as people FOLLOW THROUGH with sending out $5.00, it works! With warm wishes, bless you and
your loved ones, https://www.paypal.com $$$$$ REMEMBER, IT

MAKE EASY MONEY WITH A PAYPAL ACCOUNT (everyone repost this) MAKE EASY MONEY WITH A PAYPAL ACCOUNT PAYPAL MAGIC Body:
TURN $5 INTO $15,000 IN ONLY 30 DAYS...HERES HOW! This is Not a Scam!!!, and is Legal, I called paypal myself. ...But
for it to work you must do exactly what the e-mail says. Many Have Tried To Add Themselves To The List Without Sending
Out Any Money, IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as
20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in
step-by-step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But
in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However
thanks to PayPal and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what's more, the entire process is FASTER,
EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been! Below is the email sent to me: How to Turn $5 into $15,000 in 30 Days
with PayPal I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT I turned $5 into $14,706 within
the first 30 days of operating the business plan that I am about to reveal to you free of charge. If you decide to take
action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return! STILL NEED PROOF? Here are
just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $5 and half an hour of their
time to participate in this program: "What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just 3 weeks ago, and
although I haven't made 15 grand yet, I'm already up to $9,135. I'm absolutely gob smacked." -Pam Whittemore , Ohio
"Well, what can I say?... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mail's out like you said and then I just forgot about the
whole thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my paypal account a week
later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days I now have over $11,000 to spend! I can't thank you enough!"-Juan
Tovar, NY,NY "I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal account. Within 3 weeks my
account balance has ballooned to $12,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!"
-Richard Barrie , Boulder,CO The only things you will need are: An email address. A Business PayPal account with at
least $5 deposited in it, and just 15 to 30 minutes of your time. This program takes just half an hour to set up. After
that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, and there is NO
LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business program. Let's get started, just follow
the instructions exactly as set out below and then prepare yourself for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days!
Here's what you need to do. . . REQUIREMENTS [THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED VERBATUM FOR THIS TO WORK] ...1)
an email address ...2) a Premier or Business PayPal account Now follow the steps: 1-4 STEP ..1 - Setting up your FREE
PayPal Account It's extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and paste this to the address
bar https://www.paypal.com (notice the secure "https" within the link) Be sure to sign up for a free PREMIER
or BUSINESS account (and not just a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to receive credit card payments from
other people. STEP ..2 - Sending PayPal money "It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in
order to receive." !!!!!!Now all you have to do is send $1.00 by way of PayPal to each of the Five email addresses
listed below.!!!!!!!! After setting up your free paypal account and confirming or verifying YOUR ACCOUNT AND putting
(five Dollars) $5.00 into your Paypal Account use the Account tab on Paypal to send $1.00 to each of the Names on the
List then move the top one and place yours in the ..5 spot on the list of names ..1-..5. Remember your name becomes ..5.
..5 moves to ..4, ..4 moves to ..3 and so on. Important: Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON
YOUR EMAIL LIST* (this keeps the program 100% legal.. so please don't forget!) Note: (If you do not see the full email
address for the 5 members, just hit reply to this email and they will show up.) (Just in case you still haven't opened
your PayPal account yet, use this link to open one in your name), https://www.paypal.com ...1 Shin_trojin@msn.com
...2 animealway2@yahoo.com ...3 brep610@aol.com ...4 ksm_cooper@aol.com ...5 fred_8998@yahoo.com Remember, all of this
is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are creating a service! A Business... An Email List Service Business If you have any doubts,
please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws. STEP ..3 - Adding Your Email Address
After you send your five $1.00 payments, it's your turn to add your email address to the list! Take the ..1) email off
the list that you see above, move the other addresses up one (5 becomes 4 & 4 becomes 3, etc) then put YOUR email
address (the one used in your PayPal account) as ..5) on the list. **MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT
APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.** STEP ..4 - Copy Message to 200 Newgroups, message boards,etc...... The Pure Joy of

boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more
money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is to let as many people see this
letter as possible. So they will make you and me rich!!!! You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed.
Payments will still appear in your PayPal account even while your bank account is being confirmed. HOW TO POST TO
NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS Step ..1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply
put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into your computer's temporary memory. Step ..2) Open a blank
'Notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'Edit' menu select 'Paste'. This will paste
a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your email to the list. Or copy to a Word Document. and Place in
the email upon completion. Step ..3) Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in
different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step ..4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try
searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion
groups, online communities, etc. EXAMPLE: go to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com
- then search with subjects like? millionaire message board? or money making message board? or opportunity message
board? or money making discussions? or business bulletin board? or money making forum? etc. You will find thousands

Posted by Sandy on Fri Nov 03, 2006 4:00 AM Post subject: Re: Christmas Card Camp
It is actually a stampin up stamp. We used the stampin up stamp that we colored with their markers and stamped. Then we
used their tag punch to punch it out. Trimmed around the edges to make it a little smaller and mounted it onto another
tag punched with the same punch. I thought it looked really neat when it was stamped. I'd never colored with markers
on stamps, but it sure did make it look great with all of the different colors on it. Sandy "jonesy <3"

the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration;
- The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70
BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University]; - The estimated profit to U.S. corporations and businesses
employing illegal aliens in 2005 was more than $2.36 TRILLION dollars; - The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus
services used) for the average adult Mexican illegal alien is $55,000.00 cost to the American taxpayer in a 5-year span.
You, personally, are giving $11,000 every year to illegal aliens. "A prudent man foresees the difficulties
ahead and prepares for them; the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences." - Proverbs 22:3
[/quote:6d6a5bdce3] The Honorable Paul S. Sarbanes 309 Hart Senate Office Building Washington DC, 20510 Dear Senator
Sarbanes, As a native Marylander and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your
assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an
illegal alien and they referred me to you. My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to
illegal alien stem from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate for which you voted. If my understanding of
this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to
do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal
when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out. Simply put, those of us who
have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes
in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an
excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005. Additionally, as an illegal alien I
could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for
medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year. Another benefit in gaining illegal status
would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as
"in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son. Lastly, I understand that
illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance
premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car. If you would
provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary
forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your assistance. Your Loyal Constituent, Pete McGlaughlin

Posted by Tom and Karen Brooks on Sat Oct 14, 2006 2:07 PM Post subject: Re: Christmas Cards
Well, it's really not that hard to choose who gets which card. I make sheets of label addresses for each of my
friends/family and then as I hit each address I choose a card usually based on something I know about them or how I
feel about the card I made. For instance I have a friend that loves poinsettias so every year she gets a card with
poinsettias, my sister-in-law collects Santas so she always gets one of those. Friends that have moved to warmer
climates that miss the snow get snowmen cards. I don't do a lot of Christmas shopping instead I spend some time
thinking about my friends and picking cards for them. For me it's a pleasant start for the Christmas season, but I'm
sure most people are a lot busier than I am. Karen R. Brooks "Wave Jumper" <windsurflm@hotmail.com>

I usually buy my envelopes from SU. They're very nice and smooth. Makes it really nice to stamp on! LOL If I'm in a
pinch, I'll pick up the notecard envelopes from Wal Mart. I don't like them as much as the SU ones. They're thinner
paper, and just look cheap. I know, silly. But I figure if I'm going to go through the time and energy of making a

Melissa - I'm jealous! I need to start on mine Ok - I hope i can help you out....the cards are to be the same size as
a regular playing card - (I think it's 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches). You can use a playing card as a template. I believe
that there are 11 participants in the swap, so make at least 11, I usually do one more, so I can keep one for myself. I
have numbered mine in the past, although you don't have to. I think it's up to you, really. On the back of mine I will
be writing put RCS ATC swap, 11/06. 1/12 (2/12, 3/12...etc). Along with my name, etc. If you are stuck, and get a
chance to come by this weekend, I can show you an example. Hope that helps! Have FUN!!! Jessica Melissa in Seattle
