This site talks about old fashioned Chinking (insulation) for cabins. It also gives recipes to make different kinds of chinking.

Building a Cabinwas done to provide the emmigrant farmer with temporary shelter from the weather and protection from wild animals while the barn was built. As John Rempel points out in Building with Wood (1967), there was a difference between a log house and a log cabin.

This site explained the pro's and con's of acetone removers and non-acetone removers, and also mentioned which remover to use for what type of colors. It was very short to the point.

Some topics that were covered in this website were; How in 3000 BC wearing nail polish indicated wealth and social status. Mixed from egg whites, gelatin, beeswax and gum Arabic. (To make different shade they added rose, orchid or impatient petals.) I was very shocked to find out that in 600 BC nail polish was strictly for royalty and those who were lower class and had nail polish on they would be sentenced to the death penalty. Also went into other time periods such as the 14th century and 1500-1990's explaining the trends that went on in those times. I thought this was a very informative website and I learned a lot from it as well.

If youre a crafty person, this is the site to go too! This site shows a bunch of crafts or diy (do it yourself) crafts to try.

This site is great for a crafty person. Not only does it have hundreds of crafts to try, each craft tells you where you can get all the items and how much they cost! I will be using this site in the future.

Huge Selection of Jewelry Making Tutorials. I will be continuing to use this collection of tutorials for ideas on projects and to improve my skills in certain areas.

I found this article incredibly helpful for a starting point into looking deeper at potential colleges I will be applying for this semester. Some of the colleges even surprised me, but it's definitely worth looking at for this field.

The main idea of this site is photography in general. This site has many different topics and helpful tips. It has pages about different lenses, about the money in photography, and much more.

This is a well written book about the evolution of weapons and how different cultures have changed the basic shape and styles.

The four topics that were covered on this site were sources of stress, signs and symptoms, reducing stress and helping your child cope with stress.

The topics that were covered were vitamin A, B, C, E, Zinc, and Calcium. For each vitamin it explained what can happen when someone is lacking one and also what you can eat that would help maintain a healthy level of each of them.

This lesson taught me new vocabulary pertaining to how to refer to people and things. I learned how to say things like, "I," "you," and "they." It helped to teach me how to describe, very basically, my feelings toward something. This lesson really helped me to speak Mandarin at a level I was starting to really hope to achieve. I am still extremely basic, but now I can talk about myself and other people instead of just talking about food and basic actions. I would highly recommend getting to at least this lesson in Rosetta Stone because it will really help you to be able to convey much more than what you could before, no matter how basic you still are. This resource is a must to anyone wanted to learn Mandarin Chinese.

Free online dictionaries - Spanish, French, Italian, German and more. Conjugations, audio pronunciations and forums for your questions. This website is really incredible. It has helped me with French so much. When I was trying to translate my letter from English to French, this tool made it so much easier to just look up a word that I needed to know! It even gives you the conjugations, tenses, and any other forms of the word that you could possibly need to know! I'd highly recommend this resource to anyone learning a language or anyone who just wants to know how to say something in a different language.

Have you tried Duolingo? If you aren't familiar with it and how it works, be sure to check out the TED talk about it and crowdsourcing. Amazing!

Mahli is an amazing teacher. She helped me to learn Mandarin at a more precise level. Instead of just teaching me vocabulary, she taught me grammar rules and the tones that are crucial to the Chinese language. She would stay after school with me or meet up with me for around an hour every few days and we would go over things that I needed and/or wanted to know and she would help me with them and she would also critique my Chinese. Mahli studied abroad to China, so she knows the difficulties of learning Mandarin, so she is extra patient with you. She is really a great teacher and to anybody who would like some advice on Mandarin Chinese, I would certainly recommend talking to Mahli.

Is there a link to Mahli? Ha! Wishing so!

Like with any social network, be careful. Not everyone on there is a person just like you trying to learn a new language. But that aside, this website was really great for me to talk with people who knew Mandarin Chinese and were willing to help. Some people I just had quick conversations with that only lasted a few sentences, others I still talk to today. The person that knows Mandarin that I still talk to lives in China and is always happy to help me with the tones and to have conversations with me and teach me how to say things like a normal Chinese person would say them. This is a really great resource for person to person interaction. But again, be careful, as always.

HSK (Level I) assesses test takers' abilities in the application of everyday Chinese (Mandarin). It is the counterpart of the Level I of the Chinese Language Proficiency Scales for Speakers of Other Languages and the A1 Level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF).

I find it difficult to maintain 1000°C temperatures to truly relax and align the crystalline structures in the steel. So I decided that an electric heat treating oven is the way to go. I have no intention of spending $1000 on an off-the-shelf unit
