Handmade jewelry designs can be easy if you follow a few simple steps. Making your own jewelry is not only easy, but relaxing. In fact, I consider it to be almost therapeutic! Here we'll explore how to make your very own Tin Cup style Necklace.

You will need the following supplies:

Cotton Cord

Clasp

6 to 10 pearls

Scissors

The fist step is to cut your cotton cord to approximately 24 inches in length. Thread the lobster clasp side of the closure and tie an overhand knot. With the scissors, cut the thread leaving a short tail. Your goal is to just make sure it doesn't come undone. Just to be on the safe side, you can add a dab of glue, but you don't have to.

Lay the cord down on a ruler and decide how often you want a pearl. You might want to mark the cord so that you can keep track of where they go. Make an overhand knot at the first mark on your cord, string on a pearl and then do another overhand knot. You can use special tools to make sure the knots stay nice and tight against the pearl, but again, it's not necessary. You will need to continue the pattern just described with the total number of pearls you have chosen.

You can vary the length of the necklace by including more or less pearls but here are a few words of caution. Since you need to tie knots in front of and behind each pearl, you will need to make sure that you add a few extra inches for each pearl. Otherwise, you will end up with a bracelet or a necklace so short that it won't fit. Also, keep symmetry in mind. Make sure you space them apart evenly, otherwise, your handmade jewelry designs will not look very nice. Finally, when you have the amount of pearls and the length you want, attach the other half of your clasp. Now it's important to look over the necklace and check the quality.

A great variation on this design is to replace the cotton cord with any type of link chain. What you will do is put wire through each pearl. Then you will make loops at the ends, attaching the chain to the loop you make. This is a classic and beautiful design. You can also choose to put more than one bead at each station. For example, you can place a crystal, pearl, and then another crystal to spice up the look.

The bottom line is that it is rather easy to create your own Handmade Jewelry Designs. You just need to have some fun and get creative especially when creating Handmade Jewelry Rings.

Tactical Knifes Are Not Just For Combat Anymore

A tactical, or combat, knife is a knife that is specifically designed for use by the military, especially those involved in close combat. However, with the end of trench warfare, there is typically not much close combat taking place anymore, and thus, tactical knifes have become more of a utility type of tool.

These knives are now most often used to clear foliage, open crates with ammunition and other supplies, or to chop branches to use as cover. There are many different knives available today, depending on the intended use. Today you can find tactical knifes in many different shapes. You can also find a variety of sizes, although the military tends to standardize the particular types of knives that they issue to their soldiers. Indeed, many countries issue their own style of knives to their soldiers. Military knives have become collectors' items, especially amongst those who are big military history buffs.

The main requirements for a good tactical knife are that it be able to be used as either an everyday tool as well as a survival weapon when needed. Tactical knifes can have a folding blade or a fixed blade, but the blades are always extremely sharp. It is important that a tactical knife be readily accessible, easy to open and easy to use quickly while one-handed. Many of these knives have been modified to suit the needs of farmers as well as outdoorsmen, who use them for a great number of different purposes.

Another option when it comes to tactical knifes that should be considered is the type of blade. Do you want a plain or serrated edge? The right choice depends upon the intended use. A plain edged blade is best for push cuts, clean cuts, when accuracy is needed, and for the most control in the job you are performing. A serrated edge, on the other hand, works best when making slicing cuts.

There are also a variety of blade shapes with tactical knifes. Three of the most popular blade shapes are the drop point, clip and modified clip. Detail work is best when using the sharp point of a clip blade, but it is not too strong. A modified clip blade is a good choice in high-tech knives and comes in many different shapes. The drop point is best for heavier jobs as it has a thick point. However, this type of blade cannot penetrate objects very easily.

When purchasing a tactical knife, there are many things to consider in order to choose the right one. For most people, a knife with a blade that folds down is the best, safest and most practical option. These tactical knifes can be easily carried around in one's pocket without fear of injuring oneself or others by accident. A folding knife should always come with a good built in locking mechanism to ensure that it doesn't open up and injure someone should it fall out of one's pocket. A knife that does not fold should be carried in a sheath. Although more difficult to transport, these knives are perfect for hunting or camping and will be sure to provide good protection if you are in woodsy areas.

Whichever type of knife you purchase, the blade and handle should always be of a good quality. Tactical knifes should have a steel blade with a durable grip, preferably made of a synthetic material. And most important of all, always exercise absolute safety when carrying and using your tactical knife.

James Hunter, soldier killed in Afghanistan, remembered at Firelands High School service
UPDATED: More than 300 people filled the Firelands High School gymnasium in Oberlin on Friday in a memorial service for Army Staff Sgt. James Hunter, 25, of Birmingham.

In yet another illustration of the U.S. army leading the private world straight into a much healthier and less fossil fuel reliant future, the U.S. Military Corps of Engineers is aiming to qualify for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold accreditation for the new energy efficient office building at Fort Belvoir in Virginia.

The complex was at first designed to meet a smaller standard but the Department of Defense has developed a strategy of going beyond minimal compliance with environmental restrictions, to be able to promote more ambitious action regarding environmental security by the public sector particularly in regard to climate change.

USACE Commanding General Lt. Gen. Robert Van Antwerp not too long ago blogged regarding the Corps's sustainability policy with a quote from one of his predecessors: "Environmental integrity and beliefs should be more than an overlay. They must be described as a bone-deep portion of our method of conducting business." Van Antwerp has also observed that climate change is actually "a very true issue that could have extremely real outcomes worldwide." That does not give a lot of wiggle room for supporting our troops inside the drill baby drill ethos but then again, that's the whole purpose.

The Actual Durability Link from Military to Civilian

In part, the new structure will serve as a highlight for new power and water preservation plans that benefit the bottom line and could be used by companies, industry, and institutions such as research institutes and medical care facilities. One showcase is a visitor center which will have a power efficient green roof literally covered with greenery to supply insulation and relieve the "heat island" effect. Eco-friendly rooftops have become commonplace at government properties such as military bases and also prisons, but they have yet to make significant inroads somewhere else within the U.S. Having a similar goal in sight, the armed service is additionally demonstrating energy efficient microgrid as well as solar power technology at two other bases in California as well as Hawaii.

Durability for Everyone

The brand new complex will make use of roughly thirty % less electricity than conventional structures, and about half the water. Even though some cost savings results from new construction techniques, materials and technology, others derive from good sense answers that could easily be adopted as retrofits on existing structures and grounds. For example, there is no need for outdoor irrigation, because the landscaping design makes use just of drought resistant native crops. Low-flow plumbing fittings and high efficiency lights are used all over, and the use of natural daylight is maximized simply by putting in cubicles with lower walls, which furthermore helps air to circulate more efficiently.

Sustainability and Alternative Transport

The new complex will likewise test the capability of city planners to pull more people out of their own cars and straight into mass transportation plus other choices. The building was created to satisfy suggestion #133 of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission, and when completed in 2011 it'll shift a large number of new office workers into Alexandria, a location which by now struggles with high over-crowding.

If you truly care about your future, be eco friendly. We could do this by using eco friendly products and engaging in environment friendly activities. We only have one world to live in so let's stand up for it!
