Hand Engraver Wanted

Engraving my Macbook?

Im going off to Uni, and my mom wants to engrave my laptop. But here is the catch, she wants to do it herself, with a hand engraver (like a fancy drill really).

Um, I have a feeling I should NOT let her do this.

Will it void the warranty? Could she potentially damage my beloved MacBook Pro?

It may void the warranty, particularly of any objects behind where you're engraving. Also, if you go too deep... say goodbye.

A personal tale:
We laser etch products to stop students stealing them from the school - logo, phone number, ID, everything does on it. We found, however, that the laser etcher is slightly temperamental, and you have to check the power setting before using it.

It asked for a Power level, so I chose about 50%. It not only etched right through the back of the laptop, but also into the rear of the screen components. That laptop was thrown away the same day.

Don't etch unless you know what you're doing! We've learnt our etcher on 10% is enough and only takes a millimetre or two of the plastic off it.

Also, it's gonna make your MacBook look really unprofessional with scrawly handwriting on it. Just write on it with a permanent UV pen or something!

America's Most Wanted $15.18 Modern day Georgia soul man Calvin "The Soul Prince" Richardson scored two Grammy nominations for his tribute album Facts of Life: The Soul of Bobby Womack, and as co-composer with Babyface on Charlie Wilson's "There Goes My Baby," from 2009, he also won ASCAP's Songwriter of the Year Award. These achievements have raised his profile beyond the Southern region (somewhat). America's Most Wanted, his fifth album, co-produced with Robert Perry (of the Revelations fame) should do so as well. The pre-release single "You're So Amazing" did reasonably well at national radio, garnering interest in the full-length. There are some fine tracks here that move beyond Richardson's trademarked, well-traveled Southern soul revivalism. Some of the more urban AC offerings here are oriented for the summer dancefloor season: "Feels Like We Sexin'" is a breezy stepper that uses grooves from contemporary jazz and Caribbean hand percussion. The title track opener is a logical follow-up single with its love-song groove, tasty B-3, and '70s guitar sound that push Richardson's flowing, quick-syllable vocal with just enough neo-soul to make it irresistible. His deep soul roots are displayed on "Come Over" and "Adore You." They fit that bill like new fingers in an old glove with passionate vocals, tightly arranged harmonies, and a sleight-of-hand retro production. The former contains a killer string arrangement. Speaking of strings, "Reach Out," a duet with Nadia, walks the line between it and its 21st century neo-soul cousin. There are are a few missteps, however. The most glaring is "Thug Livin'," drenched in Dirty South stereotypes; "You Possess My Body" is a complete bore after two minutes -- it goes on for nearly four -- and "Paradise" has its beats, faux funk guitar, and synth horns in all the wrong places. In sum, the pluses on America's Most Wanted outnumber the minuses and Richardson's profile should rise as a result. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Calvin Richardson - Vocals; Charles Johnson - Bass; Kobie Turner - Keyboards

Give Cupid a Helping Hand

With Valentine's Day fast approaching even the most committed of singletons can't help but wonder if Cupid will be taking aim with his bow and arrow, ready to introduce love into their lives. So, if you're on the lookout for love - or even have a particular person in mind - you're sure to want to do everything you can to make sure Cupid's shot is as accurate as possible.

Despite being featured on so many different works of art and pieces of Valentine's Day merchandise, not to mention being associated with so many different kinds of Valentines Gifts, how much do we actually know about Cupid? Interesting, Cupid is a god from Roman mythology. Representing both beauty and erotic forms of love - similar values to those of Eros, the Greek god of lust and love - rather than simply Valentines Gifts; Cupid is often referred to by his other name Amor.

Both in modern times and old, images of Cupid have appeared in Literature, Art, and other things associated with love, lust and romance, such as Valentines Gifts. When visually depicted, Cupid is often shown naked, dressed only slightly, or even shown as a slightly overweight baby; naturally the all-important bow and arrows are usually present, but his arrows can sometimes feature hearts instead of tips.

Interestingly, some depictions of Cupid display an alternative side to his character that's not entirely conducive to feelings of love and the giving of romantic Valentines Gifts; in addition to carrying golden-tipped arrows for the inspiration of love, he is sometimes shown carrying arrows tipped with lead, which are arrows said to generate feelings of hate. In order to represent the idea that love is completely blind, Cupid can also be represented wearing a blindfold - although how he's able to hit his target whilst wearing this blindfold remains unclear.

This being the case, it's quite possible that Cupid might need a little helping hand or two when it comes to help people find love. After all, if he's blindfolded, it's unlikely that he'll be able to accurately reach his mark; and that's where great-value and original Valentines Gifts can really play their part. So, if you're looking for Valentines Gifts that can really give Cupid that extra-special helping hand, why not go for Personalised Valentines Gifts?

If you're looking for Valentines Gifts that really say "I love you" in a straightforward and precise way, the Engraved Silver Plated Love Heart Sweet could be the perfect choice; after all, Valentines Gifts should really do all they can to help you speak clearly from the heart. Shaped like one of those Love Heart sweets that used to be so popular in the school playground, the Engraved Silver Plated Love Heart Sweet can be personalised with a romantic and loving message of your choice. And, as it comes complete with its very own gift box, the Engraved Silver Plated Love Heart Sweet is one of many Valentines Gifts capable of showing someone just how much you care.

Created by Swizzels Matlow in the UK, Love Hearts are a type of sweets made famous by their bright assortment of colours, in addition to their romantic and funny selection of slogans and messages. And, while the sweets are hard, and can be either sucked or chewed, they are designed to become fizzy upon disintegration in the mouth; even if they're not plated with silver, these sweets could make ideal Valentines Gifts.

While these sweets probably aren't the most obvious choice for romantic Valentines Gifts, some of the messages used are surely more accurate a shot than even Cupid could manage; in addition to "Be My Love", Love Hearts can also include the following messages: "U Rock", "I Love You", "My Angel", "Only You", "Say Yes", "I Want U" and even "Marry Me".

Interestingly, a similar type of sweet is sold in the US. Known as Sweethearts, and presumably bought as Valentines Gifts because of their availability around the time of Valentine's Day; these sweets bear sayings such as "Married in Satin, Love will not be lasting".
