Everyone has their moments with damaged power cords whether due to bad animals hungry for anything, weed-eating adventures gone wrong, or being ripped from pulling on them too hard. Repairing a power cord is easier than most would think and less costly than buying a new one. Some simple tools needed to splice a power cord are a knife, wire strippers, wire cutters and electrical tape. Start by cutting the on each side of the fray, or far enough back from each cut side to give you a clean start on the cord. Using the knife, slice the cord so about three to four inches of the wires are exposed.
Each wire is color coated and wrapped separately. The wires will be matched by color when reconnected. Use the wire cutters to expose the individual copper wires that will later be spliced together. Once the individual wires have been cut and exposed with the wire strippers, match one of the colors with the same color from the opposite piece. For example, match the green wire to the green wire from the opposite side and then twist these wires together. Wrap the electrical tape around the green wires. Do the same for the other wires until all wires have been wrapped with its color coated counterparts.
With all wires wrapped together in individual wraps, press them all together and wrap them together from one end to the other. Make sure you wrap it completely from one end where the slice in the power cord is to the other end leaving no portion of exposed wire. Once the power cord is completely wrapped from end to end, test the cord. Plug in the power cord to something that uses power, and is known to be operational beforehand, and test to make sure power is getting to it.

The look of liquid eyeliner is sleek, in style, and has a high impact on your eyes. Liquid eyeliner does not smudge or work its way into the creases under your eyes once it has dried. However, the nature of liquid eye liner makes it difficult to apply. It does get easier with practice.

Before you begin using liquid eyeliner, you need to choose a liner that you can work easily with. Look specifically at the length and width of the brush handle. You will be using this tool on your eye. If it is too long, you will lose control. If it is too short, you may not be able to adequately see what you are doing. The wand also need to feel comfortable in your fingers.

To begin applying liquid eyeliner, begin by drawing the lines that you want with a pencil first. It is best to use a comparable color of pencil to the liquid eyeliner. For example, if you are going to use black liquid eyeliner, use a black pencil. Draw the line on your eye with the pencil where you want the liquid liner to appear. Start with something simple like a simple line on the top and bottom lids. Once you get the hang of using the liquid liner, you can more to more dramatic looks like cat eyes or smokey eyes.

After you have lined your upper and lower lid with the pencil, switch to liquid. Trace over the top of the lines drawn with the pencil. Try to move in one long brush stroke across the top lid. The fewer brush strokes you can use, the more smooth the line will appear. For a thinner line, apply very slight pressure and use only the tip of the brush. For a thicker line, apply a bit more pressure and use the tip and side of the brush. By applying the pencil first, you will find that the liquid liner becomes much more forgiving. You can take your time and practice getting the line just right.

Keep in mind that liquid liner is wet. After applying the liquid liner, close your eyes and allow a minute for the liner to dry. Repeat the same steps for the bottom lid if desired.

Applying liquid eyeliner doesn’t require professional skills, just practice. Keep using the pencil liner as your guide until you are comfortable with applying the liquid liner without the guide. Enjoy the sleek, professional look that liquid liner gives you!

Want to tell that special someone that you love them? Instead of just saying I Love You in the usual way, try these famous quotes to make your Valentine’s card or letter extra special. Make a memory this year!
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others,
and the delight in the recognition.
–Alexander Smith

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
–1 Corinthians 13:4-7

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
–Honore de Balzac

Love is the seed of all hope. It is the enticement to trust, to risk, to try, to go on.
–Gloria Gaither

Let the world stop turning,
Let the sun stop burning,
Let them tell me love’s not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart,
The only dream that mattered had come true
…In this life I was loved by you.
~Bette Midler~

Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
In the beginning a flame, very pretty,
Often hot and fierce,
But still only light and flickering.
As love grows older,
Our hearts mature
And our love becomes as coals,
Deep-burning and unquenchable.
~ Bruce Lee ~

It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death
~ Thomas Mann ~

Love is that condition in which
The happiness of another person
Is essential to your own.
~Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land ~

Soul meets soul on lovers’ lips.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley ~

Faults are thick where love is thin
~English Proverb~

“Nothing spoils the taste of peanut butter like unrequited love”.
~Charlie Brown~

“People think that love is an emotion. Love is good sense.”
~Ken Kesey~

One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.
~Sophocles~

Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

one time and last for a lifetime,
and never let go till we’re gone.

the rest of your life with somebody,
you want the rest of your life
to start as soon as possible.

If she is looking around t room, looking at your cleavage, or looking down, she isn’t making eye contact and isn’t showing interest. However, not making eye contact can also be a signal that she is shy or not confident in herself.
2. Body Language – Folded arms or sitting slightly turned away are signs of dislike. Arms that are uncrossed or turning her body slightly towards you are signs that she is interested in you.
3. Touching – If a woman is interested in you, she will find a way to touch you. She may brush against your arm, or hook her hand into your elbow as you walk.
4. Listening – When a woman is interested in you, she will listen when you talk. You can tell if she is truly listening because she will indicate that she has listed through her conversation.

On your second date, she asks if you have been able to go fishing lately.
