Impressive! Looks like an electrician with OCD.

You may consider this synical but when was the last time any of you picked up the Yellow pages and took a gander? $300 a month could be spent on Direct Mail, Internet Advertising, or other means. A small add in the YP may be beneficial but noot a quarter of a page. Just one person's thoughts.

Funny you should say that - the self proclaimed neon arteest I know has entitled his special occupation as a Silca Plasma Artist. And yes in his 30's he still lives with mom.

DITTO!

Just picked a few more of these up at HD - truly are the best stripper out there! If you don't have one - get one!

Not having that problem here - did you check the "remember password" field?

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

Happy Tukey Day all - hope you all have had your overdose of L-tryptophan. You'll need it if any of you are going out tomorrow!

That word ha been used for years online so it propably has been accepted. The bigger question is does your keyboard have this key? untitled.bmp

We have a couple of plotters. The old reliable friction fed Summa Houston Instruments DMP-161 which has been reliable beyond our imagination can easily run a 150' long pattern without loosing the track. What's nice about this 1980's circa plotter is that it has eyes which automatically tell the plotter the beginning and end of a sheet. For 1980's technology it is built well and has been a workhorse. We have a more modern plotter (USA Cutter) that works well but in no way compares to function, construction, or ease of use to the old Summa. It is also friction fed and seems to loose tracking within about 8 feet. If you need length, I would seriously consider, as others have mentioned, the perf feature.

Swamped.

Busy Busy Busy, I'll give ya a jingle in the next few days. Bad boy - you is blacklisted.

Reading this the keyword that jumps out is "Company" not individual. So I gather if you are an individual not representing a company then the "Terms of Posting" become mute. Just an observation......

Hey all, Out of curiousity, has anyone ever heard of or even used a SeikiTech cutter/plotter? My local distributor offers them at about $600 for a 30". Seems a bit low to me considering our pen plotter cost much more. It also includes Flexi. Any thoughts - good deal or stay away? Thanks!

State Certification in California is done by the Council for Private Postsecondary and Vocation Education. It is an "accrediting" agency that an “educational” or “vocational training” institute may join assuming they pass contingency rules. In many cases, these contingencies are simply a submittal of curriculum vitae, a self-study report, a listing of the institute’s Board of Directors, faculty teaching experience and qualifications, time in existence, and the payment of a fee. Renewal is usually easily achieved. Certification gains really nothing for a student but benefits businesses and the “institute.” Businesses and people are swayed that certified institutes are legitimate. All you have to do is look at the number of distance learning universities situated in California – most are nothing more than an office suite allowed to grant diplomas. Certified programs allow companies to train employees (write off), and in many cases the institute is certified so it may take advantage of low interest Governmental loans and actively participate in retraining programs. In other words – it is for the benefit of the institute. As a side note, Accreditation or Certification ensures that the institute is meeting the Minimum State regulated educational requirements.

Gosh, maybe we need to get on the Job Placement Employers list there.... :madex:

Too much time, naw, you just gotta know where to look!

Nope, but maybe you can help the neighbor's kids......

We call it Noodling here in Texas. Seems to be gaining popularity.

LOL, just tell em it was the Muslims that killed Dale.

Happy B-Day Neighbor!
