Thanks. I did get good results in the halogen days but recall them with less favor having melted a couple things or being unable to make some...

Today's mail brought my first LED lightbulb (Hong Kong via eBay) which I will be testing and practicing with before I know if it will replace my...
This is a great example. The type never seems to have the full legend (here missing FOSTLVS to the left of the shepherd who barely hangs onto the...
Max Thrax gets extra points for his chin sticking out past his nose. He is a ruler where the ugly coins are better than the better looking ones....

The eBay sale listing shows it is adjustable for picture sizes up to 1600x1200 pixels while the samples shown are smaller. If this can be...
I agree with the Edward mints given but I think it should be pointed out that Edward was claiming to be more than just king of England. The...
