I bought all the pieces at my local Lowe’s for about $11.00, so you can do 2 for about 20 bucks not counting the uprights. You might save even more if you buy a multi-pack of the PVC fittings.

If you need some ideas for DIY pillows, here’s a really cool DIY that shows you how to make a cool pillow with custom trim!

If you want to give an old pillow of yours a makeover then we have just the right post for you. At Instructables, there is a post on how to make a pillow with corded trim and you can read the entire thing here.

Some excerpts:
step 1 Getting your fabric ready
Lay out your material and cut the size pillow you would like. For example mine is 18×15 inches. Don’t forget to leave a half inch or more for your seam allowance.

step 2 Getting your cording ready
Measure all 4 sides of the pillow for the length of strips and cording and allow a little extra, add them together plus an extra 2 inches. Cut 2 inch strips for cording, …

step 3 Sewing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing your cording
I like to baste (using a long stitch length) my cording into the strips before sewing them into my pillow. It just makes it easier.

Although this might come as common sense, some people might not realize that big file formats are actually bad for displaying on your digital photo frames.

Andrew, one of our blog search engin network bloggers, has a detailed explanation of which file formats are best for your digital photo frame:

If you do use an SLR, make sure to check out the file size of the photos, as SLRs often shoot rather large multiple-MB files that will take up most of you digital memory card if you don’t resize them. This can be done in almost any photo editor, and you should always trim your digital photos down to the standard 4×6 size if you want to get more of them on your frame.

Many frames also support TIFF anf GIF file formats. I recommend converting your TIFF and GIF files to JPEGS if at all possible You can do this with a photo editor like Photoshop, as well. TIFF files often lack any compression and this results in large file sizes. And with GIF, while they remain smaller, the file size is less recognized and may not play on all devices like JPGs will.

Overall, I recommend JPGs. You will be happier and so will your guests, who will get to see more photos on the same frame.

It’s one thing to buy a digital photo frame and another to place your best pictures on it.

Here’s some great advice on how to pick the right photos for your new digital picture frame:

First, use a photo management system to help keep track of all your photos. You can find some good suggestions on what type of system to use in this previous post here at the GiiNii blog.

Once you have all your photos in order, go about picking one or two shots from each set of photos. Take a photo or two from that fun night out, one from your birthday party, a few from the latest family trip. Mix in a couple from friends. Spice it up with some of your favorite nature snaps. The key is variety.

Many just put whole series of photos from the same night or event on their frames, and the lack of variety soon grows old. If you mix up the pictures, you are more likely to enjoy the outcome a little more.

Plus, with a good variety, the frame becomes a better talking point with guests. Instead of just sitting through a vacation slideshow, guests have a chance to see all kinds of memories. It will get people talking.

For those of us traveling by non-motorized conveyance (bicycle e.g.), visibility is important in both forenoon and post-twilight conditions. The best way to ensure such visibility is through the use of excessively bright lights, of which the latest light emitting diodes (LEDs) are the acme. The following account will detail the process of building an LED based head-light capable of of more than 500 lumens of output using about 6W of electrical power. For comparison, this is the same output as a typical 45W halogen bulb.

I remember the first time I heard about White Castle Burgers down in southern California from one of my co-workers when I used to work at Comfile.

Anyways, I used to buy tons of White Castle Burgers since now they have them for sale at local Lucky’s supermarkets.

Here’s a good attempt at making these cool burgers yourself.  Good thing I just bought an iron cast skillet pan from Amazon, I will have to try this for sure this weekend.

Set your dowels down on your counter at about the max width of your rolling pin. and then place one long piece of wax paper between and over your dowels. toss your beaten meat in between the dowels and on top of that wax paper ( try and spread it out a little so its not one giant beaten meat pile in the middle) toss another piece of wax paper over the top. get out the trusty rolling pin and start rolling making sure that the rolling pin stays on top of the dowels as you roll you may need to adjust the top piece of wax paper. you should wind up with a big somewhat square sheet of beaten meat, now all you need to do is peel off the top wax paper, slide the dowels out and run your pizza cutter across your meat in straight lines(forming squares) and you are ready to hit the frying pan!
