I had the Roto-zip and found it was great for doing sheetrock and other things that didn’t really have to be perfect. The torque on those things cause them to take off in any direction when they hit a hard grain and the round (drill bit type) blade means you can’t do inside corners without leaving a small curve. If your going to do scroll work the rotary tools would help get the heavy stuff cut out but it is not a replacement for a scroll saw.

The Dremel is a great tool for grinding sanding and polishing, it will drill only very small holes it will cut wood but not always really straight. It is probably the most versatile of craft tools but there is another type of tool that has become pretty popular, they call it an electric Multi Tool, in fact dremel even makes one.

My husband carved pictures with hand tools for a long time. They came out really nice. Then he got himself a dremel tool and started using it. He said that it is so much easier to handle. I even carved a few pictures on the wood myself and was able to control it. You should get what is called a flex shaft to put on the end of the tool so the heavy part can be hung on a rod of some sort, and use the shaft like a pencil. What you can do to is get yourself a slab of wood, draw or trace a picture on it then use the tool to carve. It will take a little time to control the carving and following the patterns, but with practice it will become easy. Good luck and have fun.

I always loved match head rockets. Check it out at: http://www.matchrockets.com/fire/mr.html you could work out the thrust and velocity of the mini rocket.

A cool science fair experiment I did in 6th grade was to make a generator out of slinkys and magnets.

The first thing I did was get two slinkys, one big metal, and one smaller (fits inside the larger metal one) plastic one, 2 tennis ball tubes, a 3″ bar magnet, a can of epoxy spray paint, and some wire.

If you spray paint the metal slinky with the epoxy paint you will have a perfectly insulated coil of wire. Then cut the bottom off of the two tennis ball tubes and attach the open ends together inside the metal slinky.

You now have a slinky in the middle of a cylinder with capped ends. Next attach the bar magnet to the middle of the plastic slinky and then attach those ends to the inside of the tennis ball tubes.

What you will end up with is a free floating magnet that should bounce up and down inside the cylinder.

Now all you have to do is attach (solder) a wire to each end of the metal magnet and hook that up to a volt meter. When you shake the cylinder you will generate electricity. I made a volt meter by wrapping a coil of wire around a compass. The electricity generated by shaking it will generate an electromagnetic field in the wire wrapped around the compass, making the needle wiggle.

If you wanted to, you could take the led and electronics out of one of those solar powered garden lights. If you replace the solar cell with the wires coming off of your slinky you have just made a rechargeable flashlight. The solar garden lights work well because they have a circuit board capable of charging the little battery with a wide range of voltages.

If there is a photovoltaic sensor, The thing that turns the light on only in the dark, you can either leave it there, or use a solder iron to take out the component and replace it with wires leading to a manual switch. ….Probably best though to leave it alone, just put your thumb over the sensor to turn it on.

I did that 20 years ago for my science fair, but I never thought of adding a light to it. Good luck, hope this helps!!!!

I was going to suggest an experiment on how to put actual brains into some of our liberal politicians, but then I kept reading that you want it easy, simple, simplistic. Lets out that idea.

Maybe something like “what makes water evaporate?” – or “what determines when rain turns to snow?” How about “what chemical in my body causes me to feel funny inside when a pretty girl smiles at me?”

Okay, so I flunked science.

leonuys answers:

I’d say focus on Animal Rights as that is a far bigger issue. However you could focus your animal rights science project with 2 things: Animal testing and farming. Farming would fit very well as drugs and hormones are used often in factory farms which harms us and causes a lot of misery for animals. At least the farm/food topic could fit very well with animal rights. I’d say try to figure out a mix between them. Hope this helps.

I would suggest you take some business and marketing and such classes, because if you had these skills, youd know how to market yourself.
Companies dont search websites looking for help. They place ads on the unemployment job board, newspapers, thier own companie websites and people apply to them. It sounds like a wonderful career you have chosen! So go to college or even a JC and then apply to work for companies in HR/training, larger companies have full time positions for training others!

leonuys answers:

Google it

leonuys answers:

Depends on what the research is for. If it’s medical then most definitely. I agree with paying for worker training projects, especially now and of course higher education. In Michigan the republican governor just reduced funding for our universities and decided to take away any tax breaks for those who donate to them. That’s a wonderful piece of legislation right there, huh? *sarcasm.

leonuys answers:

I write songs also and I think that each person is different and the way they write is different….With me-I write the lyrics first usually and then just play basic chords on my guitar to see if it all sounds right-then I change up the chords and ta da I have myself a song. Some people write the music first though and some people can write music and lyrics at the same time… So it’s whatever works best for you.. But if you don’t know what works best then just give them all a try…try writing the music first or the lyrics first etc. Best of luck!!

P.s. Don’t worry about not finishing a song…you can come back to it later and then maybe the inspiration or words might come then. It’s important to write down what you’re thinking (lyrics, ideas, etc.) so you don’t forget. Hope this helped

leonuys answers:

There are poets, there are musicians, and there are composers. You are only two of the three, and there is no shame in that.

I have actually heard a few songs with the same (or very very similar) lyrics but in different tunes.

http://www.hitslyrics.com/p/porcupinetree-lyrics-21224/london-lyrics-956543.html

I say make it work for you. Either write only instrumentals with oohs and aaahs for lyrics, or get together with a buddy (your singer) who can write lyrics.

After all, that’s why it’s a BAND, and not a solo artist. Don’t you ever notice that on a song there are usually two or three people credited, not just one? That’s not because they played on it, it’s because they wrote part of it.

leonuys answers:

Project management is a very people-orientated discipline, so it’s difficult to do it entirely sitting behind a desk, whether at home, or in the office. However, increasingly project managers, particularly in IT, are being asked to manage virtual teams, where it doesn’t really matter where you as the PM are located.

If you’re looking to work for a larger organization you’ll have to ask if it’s possible to telecommute when you’re inquiring about a possible PM position. If you’re looking to be an independent, then there are various sites that allow you to advertise your services as a freelance PM.

leonuys answers:

We offer cost effective PMP bootcamps in Seattle, WA and Tucson, AZ.

For most people some sort of training is worth the investment in the long run, but you can self study. We use the RMC PMP Prep book in our courses (see first link), and you can work through this text yourself.

(I’m assuming you’ve already read the PMP certification handbook from PMI, which explains the requirements etc. In detail.)

leonuys answers:

Inexpensive, I’m not sure. Colorado Tech Online teaches a program in Project Management that will prepare you to sit for the cert test and is actually one of the few schools noted by PMI for a good prep.

leonuys answers:

The previous answer was pretty accurate, but there were a few errors. Firstly you also need to have 3500 hours of PM experience (if you also have a degree) before you’re qualified to sit for the PMP exam. If you don’t have the experience then you might want to look at the CAPM certification from PMI which does not require experience.

Secondly, the 35 hours of PM training doesn’t really need to be “approved”. Pretty much any PM training will do. However, most people do take some form of PMP prep course to help them learn the material.

There is no study guide on the PMI website. Most people find the exam reasonably hard. The exam is taken at a Prometric testing center.

Generally and legally speaking you can be hired as a project manager without being a PMP, but more and more organizations are making it a requirement.

You can read more about the PMP and CAPM certifications at the links below. On each page there is a link to the appropriate certification handbook from PMI, which you should also read.

leonuys answers:

If you have been working in real estate in the last 4 years and not as project manager – try to establish the hours you work in “project”

You need at least 4,500 hours to qualify for PMP exam

If you have enough “project hours” of >4,500 – then you also need 35 contact hours. This contact hours is gained from attending a class in Project Mgmt or studying a formally recognised on-line course. You might to try “mastering the PMBOK” from this site www.pmhub.net. It will give you 40 contact hour and anyway you need to know PMBOK to pass the exam

PMI’s PMP is the most recognised PM certification in the world

Online prep /Classroom course etc course: there are many – : but my suggestion is for you to read and learn from the successful PMP’s Lessons Learned.

They are archived in http://forums.pmhub.net in the LL Forum (register first and then reply to confrimation mail)

You might want to consider also the CAPM qualification, also from PMI for those who do not have that 4,500 project hours experience. The CAPM Forum in the same PMHUB Forums has info on CAPM and a good blog

Since project management is a very participatory activity, you’ll probably want to do something in-person rather than on-line is you can.

Intellisys runs on Mac, Windows, Unix and Linux.

You can also use a server based solution like PHProjekt. You need a server running php, mysql and apache. Then all employees can connect to the software via a browser and don’t need to install anything local. PHProjekt, php, mysql and apache are all free.

Dotproject and php-collab work on the same basis.

There is also a groupware solution called eGroupWare that has Project Management capabilities. Those are also free.

If you are wanting an all-around tool that works with Hotmail, you can download Windows Live Essentials. It’s free and I use it because currently, it is the only way to sync your Hotmail account to an external email program. Find it here: http://g.live.com/1rewlive4-web/en/wlsetup-web.exe??WLI=1&WLXID=18b403d1-a1f5-4b3c-9358-5aa91625479a&RID=039a37a82c6&TID=1295625199492&lid=

If you want a completely web-based program, check out Google Apps. I use it for my business account and it rocks! The calendar is intuitive and it comes with 100s of apps for just about anything. It’s free and if you were really wanting to sync it up with your Hotmail account, you could have it download via POP to your Gmail inbox (Hotmail doesn’t currently support IMAP).

Hope this helps!

leonuys answers:

It comes in handy if you don’t have a projector at a conference meeting. Your co-workers can follow what you are doing on their screen. This however can be a diversion for some, as they are surfing or checking e-mails during the presentation. A projector works best as all eyes are on the front.

Cheers
