That is correct until 1690 brown linen rags were the source of of paper. In 1690 white hemp paper was first made in england. Now there were many different techniques on getting the image on the rags. The list goes Woodcut, also called Woodblock. The map design is carved in relief along the grain of a block of soft wood. When the design is inked and pressed onto paper, it leaves an impression of itself. This is the oldest method for printing - it was used to impress designs on ceramics and textiles in ancient Egypt, Babylon and China. The first Woodcut maps appeared in Europe at the beginning of the fifteenth (15th) century, and it is still possible to buy examples for modest prices. Sebastian Munster was one of the great names producing woodcut maps in the middle of the sixteenth (16th) century. By the 18th century, wood cut technique was no longer being used. Etching. The process of etching uses acid instead of a burin to engrave a metal printing plate. A layer of acid-resistant varnish is applied to the plate, which is made of zinc or copper. The etcher uses a needle to expose the metal. When the plate is submerged in acid, the exposed lines are eaten into the plate. Light lines can be achieved by removing the plate part-way through etching and re-coating them with varnish. Dark lines occur when the acid eats most deeply. The plate is then cleaned, coated with ink, and used to produce maps. Copper Engraving. An intaglio map-making method - in other words the design is engraved into the plate using a graver or burin. When the plate is inked and cleaned, but some ink remains in the engraved lines; when the plate is pressed onto paper under high pressure, it is this ink which is absorbed by the paper to produce the map impression. Mezzotint. Method of copper or steel engraving which enables maps to benefit from tones. Mezzotint was invented by a Dutch military officer, Ludwig von Siegen in the middle of the seventeenth (17th) century, and popularised in Britain in the eighteenth (18th) century. It involves engraving the whole surface of the plate with a curved, sawtoothed tool. Every shade from black to white is achievable, but there is no line drawing, so mezzotint technology was ideal for producing reproduction maps of famous artworks, rather than maps. Mezzotint was superseded by photoengraving.

Las Vegas Sunset Park October 9, 10 & 11, 2009 http://www.lvrenfair.com/ I will be attending the 10th and 11th. This will be my first appearance as Blaggard Mike. Is anyone thinking of attending this?

Im drunk and if I were on a ship it would be that way too. Would that piss you off? Just wonderin because I'm more like a pirate than a civilian. dont mean any offense but you're right the guy is a douche and shouldn't command a vessel that deserves a proper crew.

Do you plan on adding more detail to the map like terrain features (mountain ranges) and what not? Very good work indeed.

I appreciate that you have the balls to state your honest opinion. But I'll have to side with my species on this one (lol). I can't accept the premise that the life of an animal is equivalent to that of a human being. The vegan/PETA slogan that A pig is a boy is a dog is absolute rubbish. I wonder what the carbon footprint of the Steve Irwin is? A 30 year diesel rust bucket like must be be contribute an awful lot of green house gasses to the atmosphere. I don't believe we are all equal either I just look at the human populous and its safe to say the end of some lives wont hurt the planet. But that's the crazy bastard the Marines made talking. Hundreds of years ago disease and other problems kept the human population at a tolerable level. As for the carbon foot print i chuckled. i watched an interview with the crew on Larry king and was thinking the same thing. Two wrongs don't make a right. There was an episode where their hull was about to give way and I thought about the oil and waste that would go into the water and most likely kill some whales they are trying to save.

Oh if there is lead content never mind. I won it on ebay I didnt want one that was modern unless the woman lied about vintage which is a possibility. She stated in the listing it didn't leak and when I recieved it I filled it up to find it did. Oh boy was I dooped. Thank you for bringing this to my attention

Yes its a loop hole that is being exploited. It comes down to a moral issue. This planet is grossly over populated. To be honest id rather see human lives ended than animals. That's just my opinion though. If I was one of those morons aboard the irwin I would board the Japanese boat and kill everyone aboard justifying my actions saying I am an angel of vengeance of god and they have lied (research) about what they are doing. Kind of like Loki in dogma. Then I would steal their ship and sink it. Got to stay true to me name.

Apple margaritas are the most popular flavor. I recently saw on the food network that the apple flavored mix sells more than the original lime flavored. It started with sour apple puckers mixed in too.

I recently received a 19th century english tankard with a glass bottom. Unfortunately it leaks. I am not sure how to seal the leak. I was thinking silicone but I don't trust the chemicals and it may seep into whatever beverage I drink out of it. Also I do not know how ale/beer would treat the silicone. I was thinking maybe a wax? Any suggestions would be great.

The starboard side going under is a scary sight. I would have soiled my trousers. The experience looked quite exhilarating. Did you happen to snap any other pictures of the festival?

I'll be working on my leather crafting skills starting with mug holders belts and baldrics and may even try to make a set of braces or two.

I have mixed feelings on this but have to side with the english speaking whale saving pirates. Now these people are not intelligent if you watched the first season you will know why. Exhibit A: Video of capsize Forcing my self to watch more I found these people lack common sense and even intelligence. When they reach a vessel and prepare to board they really don't know how to prepare. Its a vacation for most that turns into some sort of game when they reach the fishing vessels. "I don't remember where my gear is" type thing. The men and women aboard the anti-fishing vessel are aware of the risks before they set foot on the boat. If they die they knew it could happen. Secondly i'd like to mention the over fishing of seas has a global impact which we wont see in our life time but think of your grand children and there children. I can;t say its no worse than the amount of plastic floating in the sea but these living creatures have been here since before man. The japanese released a report a couple of years ago about the amount of fish near japan has decreased because of over fishing. Eventually there will be nothing around them to catch and it will be a trend across the globe. I say sacrafice the stupid individuals that want to put there lives at risk including the fishermen (they to know the risks of the illegal activity they are doing). I've got more to add but I think enough has been said already.

I'm still wondering why I con not access your site to check out your other work Matt. Apparently it has been attacked by malicous badware. My computer and google has reported the site unfortunately to anti virus providers. I sent you a message but never got a reply.

Thanks there are about 250 pics already up. this ones quite bigger than others I have seen.

If there is an photo album to this event I would love to see it. My family and are plannin to go next year.

The bounty had a crew within a crew. We all should know the ending to that part of history. One man left alive (besides the captain who rowed his way back to england) and took every ones wife.

Thanks for sharing. this looked fun

Just look at the United States first president. Wooden teeth I believe. Ale and wine contain a lot more sugar than many sweets and after the spanish invaded central America chocolate became abundant. A hundred years after the invasion chocolate spread through europe and was well known and many people were quite fond of it. Dental hygiene was available but ignored by many. Europeans used the greek method until the early 1700's The greek method was dipping linen cloth or sponges dipped in sulfur oils and salt solutions and rubbing away all the tooth grime. Eventually chinese invention of bamboo and boars hair made its way to europe. the europeans improvised the bamboo for native wood

Exactly, I don't think they will stop the teaching of history. Not only would it put hundreds of thousands without jobs but it would destroy a big portion of college education as well. It will never happen unless they close schools all together. The fact that any body came up with such a contemptible idea amazes me.
