Help with Tor?
Okay I have compiled Tor (Onion Router) from source and it indicates it is working, see copied text below

Aug 11 22:04:15.976 [notice] Tor v0.1.0.12. This is experimental software. Do no t rely on it for strong anonymity.
Aug 11 22:04:15.977 [notice] Configuration file '/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc' not p resent, using reasonable defaults.
Aug 11 22:04:15.977 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method epol l
Aug 11 22:04:19.001 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like it's working.

However when I point either Firefox or Konqueror at, port 8118 and try to access the internet I get message

The connection was refused when attempting to contact the proxy server you have configured. Please check your proxy settings and try again.

Any help would be appreciated, I am using Suse 9.3 and KDE 3.4. I have only been using Linux two weeks so I appreciate your help and patience.

double posting is against the rules. :tisk: you should only post in one place to make it easier for people to answer. just so you know, a mod will probably shut one down sooner or later.

botman 08-11-2005 11:40 PM

sorry rude of me, won't do again.

It seems anyway that I figured out the answer to my own problem again. Will not trouble with more posts unless I get stuck on something for over 48 hours because I seem to figure things out on my own with a little time. thansk for patience with newb

Closed - discussion should continue here even though it's been solved.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:07 PM.

Hoosier Penguin: Moving... To Openness

Nov 15, 2006, 01:45 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Brian Proffitt)

"I've been a little quiet of late, though please don't think it's anything personal. The truth is that on November 4 I relocated my family to Northern Indiana because my wife got a new job up here this summer. We had been apart since just before Labor Day, but finally the stars aligned and we were able to move into temporary housing while our home in Indianapolis awaits its sale.

"As far as the computers go, the move went without incident, since they rode in the back of my car as opposed to the cargo area of the U-Haul. I'd had the cable guy out the day before we moved here, so the broadband was ready to go. Or, so I thought..."

Crazy good food at Joe Davola's [Food & Dining]

Crazy good food at Joe Davola's

We are lucky to live in the golden age of the sandwich. This efficient delivery system of carbs and protein — a portable meal, if you will — has evolved into more than just some deli slices between two pieces of bread.

However, in this new world of the sandwich there is a delicate dance between too much evolution (I once had a cheese steak in Philadelphia made with shaved pork loin and mushy broccoli raab) and not enough development (if white bread is a choice, I raise an eyebrow). So where is a true sandwich-lover to go? Easy: Joe Davola’s (901 Barret Ave., 690-5377).

There are many reasons to love this place. First of all, it is named after the Seinfeld character “Crazy” Joe Davola, who suffers from mental instability and aggressive behavior and most notably leaves a message on Jerry’s answering machine that he is going to “put the kibosh” on Jerry. (As homage to its namesake, Joe Davola’s plays Seinfeld episodes on a television in the front of the restaurant.) Secondly, co-owner Christopher Stockton mans the register and greets costumers with a charming British accent, happily guiding first-timers through the menu. But lastly, and mostly, it is the sandwiches.

Davola’s has achieved the balance of dishing up classic ingredients with a refreshing twist. The Belligerent BLPT is a current obsession. Bacon, lettuce and tomato combine with roasted garlic pimento cheese on thick-cut wheat berry bread for sandwich nirvana. On the Mad Maple Baked Turkey, an apricot aioli jazzes up the usual suspects of turkey, Swiss, lettuce and tomato. The rest of the menu does not disappoint. Salads are big and plentiful with house-made dressings, and soups, also homemade, range from a variety of three or four each day. Stockton says to be on the lookout for cold melon soups this season, too.

The King Lives in 2012, and Highlands-based Wee Rock! invites you and your children to celebrate his birthday [Family & Parenting]

It is never too early for your youngster to learn the benefits of rocking and rolling! That's the philosophy of Wee Rock!, a Highlands-based business that offers group music classes for children and parents. As a testimony to their love for shaking and grooving, they're ringing in the New Year by celebrating the birth of the one and only King of Rock and Roll.... Elvis Presley!

On Saturday, January 7, the Second Annual Elvis Birthday Bash will kick off at noon at Mama's Hip, located at 1559 Bardstown Road. A sing-along of Elvis's best-loved hits will take place at 12:30, so brush up on your "Heartbreak Hotel" and your hip swings! Delicious peanut butter and banana sandwiches will be served throughout, and Elvis-themed games will be provided from 1 to 1:45, with rocking prizes for winners. Don't forget to snap a photo with a life-sized Elvis before the party winds down at 2. Parents and children who come dressed in full Elvis costume will receive an additional prize: a coupon for one free Wee Rock! drop-in class!

The mission of Wee Rock! (as defined by its founder, Louisville-based singer-songwriter Heidi Howe) is "to strengthen families and communities through music-making experiences that are affordable, fun, educational, and convenient." Weekly classes are provided by Wee Rock! at Mama's Hip, unless otherwise noted, and are intended for children aged 5 and younger, as well as their parents. They last 45 minutes and are offered in private ten-week sessions three times a year for $85 (drop-in classes cost $10). Wee Rock! also offers birthday parties and additional concerts throughout 2012! Check out their website or call (502)-415-3543 for more information. And remember... keep rocking!

LOWELL -- Shawnea Frett Ajao left her job as a financial analyst in the corporate world and ended up starting her own small business, growing a passion she always had but was more of a hobby -- taking photos at events for family and friends.

Two years ago, she founded Don't FRETT Photography, a wedding and lifestyle photography business.

She found herself at the Career Center of Lowell this spring, taking workshops for tools to market her business as well as learn how to increase her marketability.

She took career-development trainer Bob McIntosh's workshop on professional network LinkedIn.

"I realized people would need professional photos for their LinkedIn sites, so I offered to take photos of my workshop mates," Frett Ajao said in an interview.

She takes the photos free for people looking for work and who are taking McIntosh's workshop. She hopes to "pay it forward."

Q: What inspired you to do this for free?

A: Having been in the job market at one point, I know that all of the resources that are available can be limited. I thought that this was a way to help others because I understood what it was like to be in their shoes.

Q: Why is it important for people looking for employment to have a profile photo on their LinkedIn page?

A: In this job market you have to differentiate so much. Your photo is an opportunity to differentiate. There's so much that can be done to make the photo stand out.

Q: What are some of the locations you have used?

A: I have done portraits at Boarding House Park. I've done portraits in the center of downtown with brick buildings and textile factories in the background. At LeLacheur Park.

Q: How do you make people relax?

A: I try to be every client's friend. I'm a very outgoing person and I love interacting with people. I try to connect with each person specifically based on their background and where they're trying to secure a job. I ask them questions to get them talking about themselves. When people talk about themselves, they get so relaxed.

Q: How many people from the Career Center have you photographed?

A: About 26.

Q: Is this something you plan on continuing to do?

A: I would love to continue doing this. I work with Bob McIntosh, who was the instructor for the Advanced LinkedIn workshop I took, in every class since he has advertised it. I want to find opportunities to help. If you give away everything, obviously you can't make a living for yourself. But giving in an area where people appreciate it the most is very rewarding.

Q: What has been some of the feedback you've received?

A: Some people have told me the day they put their portraits up, they had a significant number of page views on LinkedIn. That is so rewarding. Having not had the portrait, they may not have had so many views.

Q: What have been some of the benefits for you?

A: Some of the candidates I've taken photos of, once they have gotten a job, have recommended me to their new employer and I've gone to the company and done numerous corporate executive portraits.

Q: What's the best part of doing this?

A: Knowing I've helped someone secure a job based on the photo I took of them. A lot of people come back and say, 'I think it was that professional picture.' Just knowing I helped someone get to where they are going in addition to meeting all these individuals that I wouldn't have had a chance to meet.

Q: What advice do you have for people who are looking for employment?

A: The Career Center of Lowell is definitely a wealth of resources for folks transitioning in their careers or folks trying to increase their marketability. I highly recommend them. LinkedIn is something that everyone should do and have a photo for, not just any photo. You only have one chance to make a first impression. A photo says volumes about you and your personality. Making a professional one stands out for recruiters.

I said my forces, if they numbered five million, would waste your no ranged attaks current force. I am quite aware that without these restrictions you'd wipe my forces off the face of the earth.

However, since we're on the subject I have few surprises of my own.

As you may by no have gathered force sensitivity is more common among Agamarians.

As a rough figure, if a Lord has five sons one of them will be strong enough in the force to be trained. If he has five daughters then two will be strong enough for serious training.

This makes the Futhark rather less funky.

I have a mental image of the two armies playing tennis with all those arrows

Shoot Straight,
Live Long!

As the waitress sashayed away, Raze glanced askance at Zam. "Think you made an impression on her," she said to him. "But stay sharp."

She nodded over his shoulder. A man in a red jacket had just entered the main cantina from a side door near the stage. "There's our contact."

The man walked the long way around, his stride non-chalant but vigilant. As he moved, Raze could tell he wore a shoulder holster, but couldn't tell if he was heavily armed or not.

"He's scoping the place. Checking to see if I've brought any more than two," Raze said to Zam and Rita. "Phee is always very careful." Then she frowned. Patrons standing near one of the gambling tables were obscuring her view of the man. "Can either of you see what he's packing? Be subtle, though. I don't want him to think that we're that curious."

Question Taking screenshots

How to take screenshots? What key is it? I've tried hammering a few of the function keys, but that didn't take any.
I read through the manual but also didn't find any hint of the screenshot key...

I know I can use printscreen to take one screenshot, but that's not much use to me as I want to take multiple screenshots and I don't want to have to go to: pause the game, alt-tab out and paste them into Phostoshop, alt-tab back in, every time I take one. Also using Printscreen means I can't take snaps of cut-scenes.

I know FRAPS can take screenshots but I don't want the logo over the top of my screenshots and I am not planning on buying FRAPS just for this game.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, can you please sum up your posts better? I haven't bothered reading one of your posts. Unless you were a Raven member posting a ton of new info, there's no point to waste 10 minutes reading a post that is just your opinion. Please shorten them. If you don't, you are posting for no reason cause most people won't bother reading them. Just letting you know.

Depending on which online site you use, it shows my ip coming for four different locations. Two locations are in one state, and the other two are scattered around the US.

It doesn't mater if you believe me or not. What is important is that the company I work for is doing their job. I'm still safe from you.
One of my vocations in life, is as an IT technition, and the above ignores the following as I understand it... Though matt-- and Stoffe are far more familiar with such things than me.

IP address allocation is performed by IANA (The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). IANA then gives authority to RIRs (Regional Internet Registries). Then RIRs will also pass on responsibility, depending on their own particular regional policies, and tend to set blocks of IP addresses to their customers, which include Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

Each of the RIRs handles a specific geographic area:

The most used are; ARIN (North America)
and RIPE (Europe, Middle East, Central Asia).

So if you lookup an IP address; the different regional authorities allow lookups to be to that data. The varying ISP's generally block their blocks of IP addresses by region. The lookup will give the name and address of the organization the block of IP addresses are given too. The ISP's can re-name these blocks if they wish to do so. The naming will often be after a particular geographic place, for example, Lon-UK, aka London, United Kingdom.

As such while IP checks can be off, I have never found them to ever vary so much as giving lots of different locations, they definatly don't get the wrong country or state, More-over I don't see how an ISP check could reveal a 'false' result.

Okay, you got a point. Also bad choice of words on my part: by "Jordan" i meant the legends. So what i wanted to say is just because players are not as good as they were before doesn't mean it's basketball.
And about the dunk contest, well you may be right but i'm not quite sure. They are still "playing" the game and there were some spectecular moves back then too.

simwiz - its still a majority.

nathan - think about this. Would you have said that the snowspeeder should be a rebel unique unit if it was the rebel fighter?

A new idea: having a discussion with another member on another thread, a member came u with a good idea. Given the Republic the gunship as a second UU, but change their transport to the gunship transport that drops off an AT-TE in ep2, and make it so it can only carry 2 or 3 units, instead of the normal 5. This would make the gunship balanced by giving them a powerful ground attack with troop transport ability, but decrease their mech/heavy transport ability. This would also enhance the republics area of speciality, troopers.

An erotic graphic novel created and illustrated by acclaimed artist Dave McKean.

Erotica for the mind and eye by a comics giant. A woman arrives at an apartment, but her partner can’t get away from work. She is disappointed and settles in for a night alone, but finds a film projector with a reel of film loaded. The film is … see full wiki

1 review about Celluloid

A Quick Tip by Count_Orlok_22

  • Jun 9, 2011
Dave McKean is one of my favorite modern artists and his comic book works are astonishingly beautiful and haunting. His unique visual sensibility makes this text-less graphic (very graphic) erotica completely original. In terms of wordless graphic novels, I've only read a few and this one is intriguing since it incorporates fantasy elements with reality and with no textual explanation. Like all of his work it is wondrously imaginative and slightly unnerving, yet in a way that is never gratuitously titillating or disturbing, at least not by my own standards.

Celluloid is a work of art that creatively explores rather than cheaply exploits human sexuality. Whether it will be viewed as such or not remains to be seen, but this is indeed a groundbreaking effort in a medium that is still perceived by many to be just for kids. To have erotica available within such a medium could be potentially very controversial, but it could also be an important stepping stone along the path to cementing the fact that graphic literature isn't just for children; that it can be artful, complex, and as adult-oriented as any other storytelling media.

The book, which is 232 pages, reads (or views rather, since there is no text) very quickly as a work of erotica should and I found that instead of examining each page and the details of the artwork for a long duration, I went through it quickly. I then read/viewed it again. In some ways, the experience of reading the book was similar to that of watching an old silent film, which may very well have been intentional as McKean has stated numerous times that he loves old European silent films and that they were an early influence on his visual style. (In fact McKean is currently working on an evocative series of multi-media paintings entitled Nitrate which are an homage to some of the masterpieces of the early cinema).

The story tells the tale of a woman who becomes disappointed when the man she lives with isn't able to come home and make love to her because he's busy with work. So, she resorts to taking a bath and then pleasuring herself on the sofa. But she ends up finding a film projector and curiosity takes hold of her. As the images begin to explode on the wall she realizes that the film is of a sexual nature but before she can absorb the details of the film the reel burns out and in the place of the projection is a set of ornate doors leading into another world. She walks through them and finds herself in a strange, somewhat eerie, and very sexual fantasia where people make love in public view. The woman comes across numerous film projectors in this strangely sensual world and with each viewing of the film she is transported to another locale where she makes love to a startling vivid and intriguingly bizarre character. During these sexual encounters she makes love to a woman with fourteen breasts and grape vines for hair, a very well endowed demon whom she satiates orally, and then finally a benevolent shadowy figure who emerges from a vulva-like structure in the ceiling.
Meanwhile the woman's lover back in the real world comes home to their apartment and discovers the film projector and plays the reel of film... at which point it is revealed that the couple having sex in the film is the woman he lives with and the shadowy figure. Their eyes lock and the question remains: is this reality or is this a dream? And if so, whose dream is it - his or hers?

Regarding the art, the book encompasses many styles that shift and flow seductively from stylized photography to expressionistic pastel drawings, from colorful surrealist paintings to simplistic sepia-toned illustrations. In fact, from a critical standpoint, some of the pictures are gorgeous and would be welcome additions to modern art museums as stand-alone works.
McKean was smart to label the book as pornography since many of the images are indeed very graphic in their anatomical depictions of sexual behavior ranging from voyeurism to masturbation, from oral sex to intercourse. Despite their vivid imagery and provocative nature, I never found them to be disturbing or vulgar (though others will have a different reaction, I'm sure).

Normally, I have little to no interest in pornography or explicitly graphic erotica (although I do love John Cleland's Fanny Hill: Memoirs Of A Woman of Pleasure and the illustrations of French artist Édouard-Henri Avril). But I consider this to be a mature and artistic approach to the subject matter and at no point did it seem to denigrate sexuality, or devolve to purely exploitative depictions of either gender, nor does it wreak of the overtly misogynistic commercialism of more mainstream - if that word can be applied - erotica and pornography. This work isn't exploitative smut to be viewed at with shame. It's a celebratory expression of mutual pleasure; a sensual reverie to be shared.

I've now posted this quick-tip (mini review) on Amazon since the book hasn't got many reviews and most of them are, as to be expected on Amazon, not very detailed or insightful.

I'll just make a few basic comments here. The first is that there is no such thing as a "scale" of abuse. A kid reacts to what happened to him, not to what happened to him as compared to others. His own pain and hurt are unique and important.

Another is that abuse isn't about sex, it's about one person's misuse of their power over another for the sake of their own gratification. This can lead to all sorts of problems in both the short and long term, and pretending that "it doesn't matter" is usually not a helpful way to view things.

It is also a VERY common fear among survivors that they will not be believed. We carry that over from childhood and still think we shouldn't get anyone into trouble.

What Andy does about his cousin isn't something I can comment on, but I would think that seeing a professional therapist would help him to face some of these issues. We often balk at this because we don't want to face the fact that we need help, but recovery from abuse just isn't a do-it-yourself project.

Much love,

All of what Larry's saying is correct, but if I can chime in with something slightly different--

Many men struggle with identifying what happened to them as sexual abuse. Sometimes it can be hard to acknowledge that you were a victim when the label is at odds with your ideas of yourself. It doesn't mean that people who've been abused all need to label themselves or be labelled as victims-- but that label is frightening enough to many that they try to cover up or minimize the abuse.

Andy may need time, and space, to come to terms with this. I agree with you that all sexual abuse is a problem-- but the sexual abuse that happened to Andy, should be handled in the way that Andy feels is best for him at the moment.

It is good that he was able to talk to you about this, but it is the first step in a process that may take a long time. My boyfriend didn't seek therapy for many months after he disclosed to me, and he didn't disclose to anyone else until long after that.

Hi BBM, on that web page I gave you there is a link to a page on male rape, that Andy needs to read. Even if he thinks it wasn't as bad a rape, it was SA and he will have most if not all of the symptoms of a rape victim. I know you are on a crusade, but you need to take it slow.
Step 1. Get Andy to continue to read posts on the site, but not from the survivor stories forum until he is ready.
Step 2. When he has come to realize that some of the guys here are just like him, Encourage him to sign up so he can talk to us.
Step 3. Encourage him to see a sexual abuse therapist.
Most of the guys on here are doing steps two and three at the same time. Right now, I am at step 2, not ready to go to step 3., each person can only go at his own speed.

Take care,

It does take time. YEARS. As a woman, rape isn't as stigmatized as it is for men- it was actually easy for me to get counselling and help. I supressed for 4 years... The school counsellors caught the behavior change when I started having nightmares (4.0 to drop-out in two weeks...). Nothing came of it- no tangible evidence, but the detective here was very good and careful about working with me and the counsellor.

It's not something to be done alone. Counselling is a must. And take it slow.

Can relate to what you posted HD. Being a survivor and a supporter is a lot to carry, and sometimes I can't handle it all.

Both he and I have our moments of "cracking" where we can't "be strong" for the other one. And one person's coping mechanisms (e.g. distancing, numbing out) are often the other person's triggers (rejection, abandonment).

His self worth might be so low that he has a hard time seeing that you DO care and you DO get hurt by his actions. Or maybe he's pushing your buttons to elicit a reaction, to "prove" to himself that you care.

As for beating yourself up for "not being strong enough" -don't forget how incredibly strong we are as survivors and how much we offer much of the time. We make awesome supporters! Don't forget all the times you have been patient, intuitive, understanding, gentle, and flexible. You're allowed to struggle. This is not a failure.
I was wondering actually whether your mother's comment could have activated some misplaced guilt for you. Something tells me there was an emotional barb in that comment somehow. But I don't know your mother, so I'm only guessing.

Let us know how therapy went, and if you guys have been able to communicate what is going on with each other.

Mesh Ombre Necklace

WireLace ribbon gives this necklace a distinctive, luxurious look. The how-to comes from TV crafter Kristin St. Clair.

  • Beads or pearls
  • Scissors
  • Monofilament
  • WireLace
  • Size 15 knitting needle
  • Electrical tape
  • Size 9 double-pointed knitting needle
  • Thin-gauge wire
  • Metal cone end caps
  • Jewelry pliers
  • Jump rings
  • Lobster claw clasp
  • All-purpose permanent adhesive

  1. Step 1

    To create ombre effect, select four strands of different color 5- to 6-millimeter beads. Length of strands will depend upon desired length of final necklace.

  2. Step 2

    With scissors, cut filament in each strand. Separate lightest color beads into four equal portions and separate each remaining color into eight equal portions. The lightest color will be at the center of the necklace, with the beads getting darker toward both ends.

  3. Step 3

    Begin stringing beads on 0.01-inch gauge monofilament using the following formula for each strand ("A" represents the lightest color and "D" the darkest, with fractions referring to amounts of beads separated above): 1/8 A - 1/8 B - 1/8 C - 1/4 D - 1/8 C - 1/8 B - 1/8 A

  4. Step 4

    Make a total of four strands. Be sure to leave about six inches of extra monofilament at each end of each strand.

  5. Step 5

    To secure beads firmly on strand, feed end of monofilament around and back through each end bead. Repeat for first and last bead of all four strands.

  6. Step 6

    Unroll a yard of 6-millimeter WireLace, and using a size 15 (10-millimeter) knitting needle, expand each end of the WireLace into a tubular shape.

  7. Step 7

    Line up the four strands of beads and using electrical tape, tightly tape one end of each of all four strands to one end of size 9 (5 1/2-millimeter) double-pointed knitting needle. To prevent snagging on WireLace, make sure tape completely covers all ends of monofilament.

  8. Step 8

    Insert knitting needle into one tubular end of WireLace and feed all four strands of beads through.

  9. Step 9

    Remove tape, detaching strands from knitting needle, and then center strands in the WireLace. Tie knots in WireLace and monofilament at both ends of necklace where beads end.

  10. Step 10

    Determine desired length of necklace and fold ends of WireLace into small loops. Using a small hook of fine-gauge wire, pull each WireLace loop through a metal cone end cap. With jewelry pliers, attach jump rings to each loop and attach lobster claw clasp to one jump ring.

  11. Step 11

    Trim any extra WireLace and monofilament hanging out of end caps and squeeze a drop of all-purpose adhesive into each end cap to secure loops.

    The size of the clasp is your choice. I'd use at least a 12mm lobster clasp or bigger. If I made this necklace, I'd use a nicer clasp, something that shows off my time and effort. A bead shop in real life or online would have a selection of pretty clasps.

    Monofilament fishing line degrades in sunlight and is hard to work with. Try PowerPro also in the fishing line department. It feels like thread, is ultra strong and doesn't degrade in sunlight. Hope this helps.

  • 9 Dec, 2011

    What size lobster claw clasps do I use and what size jump ring?

  • 11 Apr, 2011

    The crystals don't come in a count - they are usually sold by 16 inch strands or a lot or hank of 1200 beads. If you buy Czech crystals they are not expensive - around 2.50 for a 16 inch strand and you get them from There is no way to give count because it depends entirely on the final length.

  • 10 Apr, 2011

    Can anyone give me a bead count or estimate for the different colors, in other words how many beads of each color is needed. You know it is early when you can't even type straight. My Mom is going to love this for Mother's Day.

  • 16 Mar, 2011

    absolutely loved this craft idea and I am about to go make it this afternoon. watch out for photos of my finished work -- I'm going to use my triple strand of pink Hyderabadi pearls from India!

  • 14 Mar, 2011

    The Beadsmith Monofilament cord is also sold through from various sellers.

  • 9 Mar, 2011

    The pictures has been changed so now the WireLace used in the necklaces shown on the displays above are 6mm Brass and 6mm Pale Silver.

  • 5 Mar, 2011

    As you will see above in Resources
    Beacon Quick Grip permanent adhesive available from most crafts supply stores. WireLace available from Freshwater pearls, crystal beads, findings, and general beading supplies and tools available from Fire Mountain Gems.
    The type of adhesive and beads are posted.

  • 5 Mar, 2011

    The WireLace size and colors in the above picture are 6mm Rose Gold (pink necklace) and Pale Gold.

  • 4 Mar, 2011

    I think the glue that was used is: Quick Grip All Purpose Permanent Adhesive. Comes in a green/yellow 2 oz. tube. Sold at: Michaels

  • 4 Mar, 2011

    The website reports the video will be posted two days after airdate. The name of the glue would be helpful. Plus more details on finishing the ends with the cones. Thanks.

  • 4 Mar, 2011

    The glue bottle was yellow and green so not 527 or E-6000. The machine she was referring to is a bead spinner which strings the beads automatically.

  • 3 Mar, 2011

    i too am curious about the name of the glue since i'm a breginner beader.
    also whatmachine martha referred to as they approached the stringing portion. kristin replied no they don't use it for this project.

  • 3 Mar, 2011

    As an authorized retailer of WireLace, I think it is safe to say the adhesive was either 527 or E-6000.

  • 3 Mar, 2011

    it says check back after the airdate for photos/video. I assume that means they will be up tomorrow: 3/3/2011.

  • 3 Mar, 2011

    I would like the noame of the glue also.

  • 3 Mar, 2011

    I have tried all day to print the instructions with the picture, and the picture is still not available or the video.

  • 2 Mar, 2011

    It would be interesting to know the name of the glue used, since Martha said it was her favorite and that she keeps tubes in every drawer. It must have a lot of uses.

Office of Finance

The Office of Finance is one of the most diverse and, consequently, a unique Office within the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE).

Our Mission
