My boyfriend gave me a promise ring for my birthday, and I wanted to give him one for his. I don't have a real job [I get money by cutting my neighbor's grass], so my boyfriend made me promise I wouldn't spend a lot of money for his birthday. I feel kind of bad buying him a cheap ring, but I'm looking at moderately inexpensive rings from amazon.com. Here are the links to the site so you can look at them. Please tell me which one you like the most, the one you like the least, and why. Thank you!

I don't really have a least favorite, but I like the third one because it's sort of fancy, but he at the same time he could wear it everyday if he wanted to. It's both casual and classy.

A company like Entemann's that makes a nationally-distributed product must obviously use a machine or process to extract the yolk and white of an egg without getting even a bit of shell in their product. My question is: what process does this machine use? A laser to cut the shell cleanly? Do they just mash the eggs and press them through a screen?

I've seen this on an episode of "How'd That Get On My Plate?" on Food Network. The eggs go through a machine that cracks them like a human would, then the eggs are beaten and poured through a gi-normous strainer and any shells are caught before the eggs go into the batter.

I love that show!!

There has been a job i want to do from quite some time. It is to cut fonts on 2 or 3 mm thick metal strippes. A name is writen in a font and removed out of the metal piece and is made into a keychain. For this, i think laser or plasma arc cutting is the best.
Now i know for sure that they need a .dwg or .dxf file. I tried to use a font on Auocad for cutting directly through cad but the laser guys say that its not right and only the name wont cut. Another option was to import the dwg from coreldraw but the image has to be redrawn in autocad as the 'pedit' option is enabled or something like that which cause the laser to cut in dots even on a straight line. So we have to redraw in arcs, all over the font already set.

I desperatly need a solution for this situation.

Please help me out with even partial solutions to this scenario.

I mainly need to know how to directly use autocad to,writa a name in a running hand font,such that, the laser cuts a name out from metal..

I'm not a autocad person but seams like your laser people are being lame. Heck they should be able to program it with there cam software.

But if it was me i would just buy an engraving font. Then send them a igs from autocad. If they can't do it by this find a new laser cutting company.
