INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A handheld rotary tool is a small electrical device that has a tip that looks like a pen and can be used to etch glass. Look for a rotary tool with a flex shaft advertised in the product description or on the box. This will give the tool more flexibility, which will make it easier to control. Get a tool that comes with a diamond, tungsten, or silicon carbide tip. Etching glass by hand is a skill, so your designs may not turn out perfectly at first. Etch on cups or cheaper pieces of glass to practice your technique before moving onto more expensive pieces. Etching by hand is best used on smaller pieces of glassware rather than larger pieces of glass, like a window. Goggles and a respirator will prevent you from inhaling glass particles and getting glass dust in your eyes. You can purchase both of these things online or at a hardware store. Wear them whenever you are etching the glass. When you etch glass, work in a well-ventilated area. If you don't want to etch a printed out design, you can draw one instead. This will give your design a free-form, unique look. Draw the image directly on the outside surface of the glass with a thick black marker. Give the marker enough time to dry before you start etching.Thick lines are easier to etch than more intricate designs. Adjust the settings on the rotary tool so that the tip is rotating at around 15,000 - 20,000 RPM. You can find these instructions in the rotary tool manual. Push the button on the rotary machine to start rotating the tip.  Higher RPMs might crack or damage the glass. Usually, rotary tools will have power settings that range from 1-10. If you have a tool like this, adjust the power settings to 5 or 6  to set it to 15,000 - 20,000 RPM. Lightly press the tip of the tool onto the surface of the glass to start etching. Drag the tip of the tool over the lines in your image and take notice of the marks that you're making. Continue tracing around the outside of the image before working on the inner details.  You won’t have to press hard to make an engraving onto the surface of the glass. It's best to work from one end of the image to the other. Continue slowly etching the image. Use a rag to wipe away dust as you work. Fill in portions of the design by moving the etching tool back and forth over the inside areas of the design. You can attach different tips onto your rotary tool for different etching effects.  A diamond tip is better for etching sharp and straight edges. Silicon carbide and tungsten tips are better for shading or filling in larger areas.

SUMMARY: Purchase a handheld rotary tool online or at a craft store. Experiment on less expensive glass objects first. Wear goggles and a respirator. Draw an image with a marker instead of taping an image to the inside. Turn on the tool and set it to 15,000 - 20,000 RPM. Etch the glass and trace the image. Wipe away excess dust and finish tracing the image.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As you are turning, look at a spot on the wall level with your eyes and as you rotate, attempt to keep it in sight at all times, you'll have to whip your head around to find it again with each rotation. This is called spotting. Stop and return to fourth position. Your feet should be placed in the same position they were when you started. Before attempting multiple turns, try to balance at the end of a single turn before landing. More force generally equals more rotations, but it is also a timing thing. Too much force will send you careening across the room and you will lose control. Equally, too little power and you'll stop dead in your tracks and fall face first. The proper amount of power comes with experience and you'll soon be able to tell whether you have too much power or not enough. For the first few tries, only attempt a single pirouette to familiarize your body with the feeling and motion. It takes time to work up to a double, triple, or a quad. You may even want to start with only quarter/half turns. If you try doubles/triples right away you will be disappointed.

SUMMARY: Spot yourself during the turn. Modulate force for number of rotations desired.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The final step is to place the chainsaw on the other side of the tree (the side opposite the wedge you cut). Make a third cut about an inch below the first horizontal cut you made on the opposite side of the tree. Keep cutting into the tree until it topples toward the wedge cut. You may have to use your hands to push the tree top in the direction you want it to fall. NOTE: Do not even attempt this operation if the wind is blowing from the direction in which you want the top to fall. If you have a favorable wind/breeze, you may not have to push on the tree top at all. (It would be much better to top a tree on a day with no wind at all.)        Make sure the area where the tree will fall is clear and that people and animals are not nearby. Once the tree top is on the ground, disposal methods will vary by locale. You may have to transport the tree top to your city's dump. In some localities you may be able simply to move the tree top to a nearby wooded area.

SUMMARY: Cut into the tree behind your Humboldt cut. Allow the top to fall to the ground. Dispose of the tree top according to local regulations.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It should be located in the upper right corner of the mail window. You will see that even as you start to type your search word(s), Mail begins to make suggestions. In this example, the search is for an email from a friend named "Colin" containing some password details. " When the search facility finds something relevant to the message you are looking for, click on the suggestion to set it as your first "search token." You'll see that as soon as you click on the desired name (in this case, Colin), Mail will show all mail received from him across all mailboxes. " When a search token has been set, it appears as a blue icon. If you wish to change the terms of the "search token," click on it to display a drop-down menu. In this example, you can see that the search token is set to find messages "From" the "Colin" chosen from the original list. By using the drop-down menu, you could also select:  "To" - to search for messages sent "to" the person selected from the list. "Entire Message" - to list all messages containing the word selected (in this case, "Colin." Click search box again and type in another search term. This can be anything from a word in the subject line to the address that the email was sent to. In the example, you are searching for an email containing some password details, so the word "password" is typed into the box. As before, you can change the terms of the search token using the drop down menu.

SUMMARY:
Open the Mail application by clicking on its dock icon. Click on the search bar. Type a key piece of information relating to the message you are searching for. Assign your first "search token. Decide on the terms of the "search token. Narrow your search down. Click on the most relevant entry on the search results to set this as your next search token. Continue to enter additional search terms in the box to narrow down your search still further, until the message(s) you require become visible in the mail window.
