22 Seriously Cool Cement Projects You Can Make At Home. How-to: Light Up Banner. Inspired by the sign hanging in Venice, CA and vintage carnival signs, I decided to make a light-up banner for my wedding (which is 5 months away as of tomorrow!). We’re having a non-denominational ceremony and have decided to add a couple of personal touches to the ceremony, this sign being one of them. The sign will remain dark until we’re officially wed, and then we’ll turn it on using a foot switch. Here’s how to make one of your own: Gather your supplies: set of 100 LED Christmas lights, an old cardboard box, straight pins, all of the letters you’ll need (I printed mine from the computer, but you could stencil them too), x-acto knife, sharpened pencil (non-mechanical), scissors, floral wire, wire cutter Cut out your letters and straight pin them to your cardboard.
I folded one of the former tops of my cardboard box under the cardboard to which I was pinning my letters to protect my work surface. Cut around the outside edges of your cardboard using a scissors. Flip your letter over. The New 'Area 51' A cloud of brown dust snakes behind me as I speed down the desolate desert road. A dozen miles ago, I passed the solitary steel mailbox that marks the turnoff for Area 51. For a place that isn't supposed to exist, it's odd that the "secret" air base occupies whole chapters of aviation history. It was here, in 1955, that the U-2 spyplane first took wing.
In the years that followed, its successors, the A-12 and SR-71 and later the stealthy F-117A fighter and B-2 bomber, danced across the same blue-steel Nevada sky. Rumors persist of even more amazing aircraft. When Popular Mechanics correspondent Abe Dane traveled these roads to research our January 1995 cover story, "Flying Saucers Are Real," camouflaged guards driving white Jeep Cherokees dogged his every turn. On my flight to Las Vegas, which is about 100 miles to the south, I read up on Area 51 lore. I brake the car, step out, check my map and compass, and then (sorry, Avis) climb on the trunk for a better view.

The vast majority of Americans, including many of those who believe that they are "educated" about the Federal Reserve, do not really understand how the Federal Reserve really makes money for the international banking elite.
Many of those opposed to the Federal Reserve will point to the record $80.9 billion in profits that the Federal Reserve made last year as evidence that they are robbing the American people blind. But then those defending the Federal Reserve will point out that the Fed returned $78.4 billion to the U.S. Treasury. As a result, the Fed only made a couple billion dollars last year. Pretty harmless, eh? Well, actually no. Every single year, hundreds of billions of dollars in profits are made lending money to the U.S. government. But why in the world should the U.S. government be going into debt to anyone? Why can't the U.S. government just print more money whenever it wants? Well, that is not the way our system works.

Some of you may remember, a little while back I posted a tutorial for DIY waterslide decals. Among other things, I mentioned how awesome they are for creating custom embellishments without the need for any fancy-pants equipment. Yep, waterslide decal paper is a truly fab product, though as great as it is, there is one drawback – although it’s somewhat tough it’s not especially durable. So, whilst it’s perfect for ornamental purposes, it’s not ideal for more practical applications…until now that is!
