Happy New Year

We have been working on some new features for the website including some design changes.  Soon we will be adding a line of Woodworking Plans.  Also we will be adding products for out readers in Australia.  We are working on diversifying our site for readers outside the US.

I found a great site with information regarding Pen Turning. I recently started this hobby.  This site appears to be directed towards beginners like myself. The website address is: http://squidoo.com/pen_turning

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS. That’s why I registered for Walk MS 2008 and that’s why I’m asking you to support my fundraising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of MS but they can’t do it without our help. It’s faster and easier than ever to support this cause that’s so important to me. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message.

Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.

P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from Walk MS 2008 are used, or the other ways you can get involved in the fight against MS, please visit nationalmssociety.org.

Please support us in fundraising for the walk by visiting the following link:

We have been working on improving the site response time and testing features. As of this evening everyone should see improvements with the amount of time for a page to load. A new feature has been added when viewing a single post. You will be able to bookmark the current page to digg, stumble upon and other popular sites. More features are in the works.

I intended to post the Freedom Pens article yesterday afternoon. Technology and weather were not playing nicely yesterday. Our internet provider went down for an extended period of time. Most likely due to the massive storms moving through the mid-west. The ISP informed me the outage had just been reported and there was no ETA. About 2000 modems were down. I had the great idea of using dialup…. One slight problem consisting of 4 letters. (VOIP) It is slightly difficult to dial without internet connection. Even if the weather improved there would be no wireless hot-spots in service. I guess the technology gods were not on my side. And so we shall move on to another day.

I recently found freedom pens website when reading a woodworking forum. This group supports our troops by sending hand crafted pens. These pens are made by individual woodworkers with donated materials. For woodworkers without a lathe you can still help. Wood blanks would be a welcomed donation. Please support our troops by visiting the Freedom Pens website at http://www.freedompens.org. By getting the word out a goal of 20,000 pens a year can be met. These gifts are appreciated by our troops as stated on the website:

“When one of our hand made writing instruments is used to write a letter home it is a symbol of our support and physical evidence that the people of America care deeply about their safety and are praying for their safe return home.” (Freedompens.org)
