This should do youHow to Change Windows XP Logon Screen background Explore Ramanathan
Hi I am wanting to change the xp pro login screen background to a custom image. I only want to chnage the login screen and not the background after the user has loggerd in. Does anyone know how to do this?
You need to create a folder, say on the C: drive, to hold the background image.
Then edit the registry key to point to the new BITMAP image.
Type: 'regedit' into the run box
Browse to: My Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
Edit the 'Wallpaper' value to the path of the new background. Eg: C:\backgound\image.bmp
Last edited by TriggerHappyUK; 5th June 2009 at 11:02 AM.
Open registry and navigate to:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
Double click on "Wallpaper" string and enter the location of your background under Value data.
This is the reg setting you need
Code:[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="C:\\pathto\\yourimage.bmp"
Will this change the background when the user has logged in? I was just wanting it when they got the ctrl alr del screen?
there right .. mines moded ..
i have this in a tweak.reg
you can point this to the server as well ..
make a hiden share called images$

A Step into Reading book...this book was very easy for my daughter to read. I liked the rhyme and rhythm of the book. Like another review of the book, I would say it did remind me of one fish, two fish by Dr. Seuss.
I enjoyed the book because I saw a lot of sight words my daughter has become familiar with.

There are comparison, reputation and rhymes that children can easily get interested in this book. I did not expect the way to finish the end but there are many original and attractive illustration.

My Kindergartener picked this up at the school book fair. I was happy with this choice as it has numerous sight words and an appropriate level of rigor for her. Plus, we love The Lorax.

I might use this as an early introduction to The Lorax, but it doesn't touch on the environmental message of the original.

Hi White's,« Back to Finds
Rich in Mass.
I was out a while back, at a place I've hit a lot of times. I figured I would try a different area, and within 20 minutes with my MXT, I got a very mixed signal. Not being one to walk by much at all here in Massachusetts, I dug.
First find was a King George copper, within 10 minutes. I had recovered 5 King George coppers, a 1726 reale and a 1746 reale. Basically all together! One of those days you just never forget!
I love the MXT... I have two of them, happy hunting to all!

Will I lose my hips, hip to waist ratio?
Ok so I'm on a plan to lose about 30 pounds and I'm actually pretty curvy , my waist is 14 inches smaller than my hips I have a 0.68 hip to waist ratio , will my waist stay 14 inches smaller as I lose the weight , or will the difference of hip to waist change.I hear that hip size is mostly determined by bone structure which means you can't lose it , is that true ? because I wold like to have a smaller body overall but keep my waist a lot smaller than my hips
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
While you *will* lose weight all over your body, you will likely lose more from your hips and thighs (and possibly breasts) than from your stomach/waist, because your hips/thighs are wear women generally carry their "storage weight". Men normally carry theirs on their stomach/torso.Remember that humans are designed to gain weight during the warmer months, when food is plentiful, and build up fat, which is used during the colder months when food was traditionally more scarce. Yes, obviously, in 1st World countries, this problem has mostly gone away over the last 80 years or so, but it's still very much an issue in many parts of the world, and prior to 1900, it was how humans had always lived.So, yes, your hip:waist ratio will go down somewhat. It shouldn't be a problem though; you have a significant difference now, and will still have a significant difference then, even if the ratio isn't maintained completely. That's just how your body is built.
What Guys Said 8
It depends on how your individual body carries your current weight and whether you lose fat or muscle weight. It also depends on how you lose your weight, and how much muscle you put on to do it and where. I'd say don't obsess about the ratios or measurements. Just be as healthy as you can reasonably be.
What Girls Said 2
I have lost 40 pounds and you will definitely lose inches off your hops. Usually before you lose anything off your waist. It also depends on how overweight your are. By your measurements it sounds like you are an extreme pear, so you can expect to easily lose 5+ inches off your hips and very few or even none off your waist
Please don't listen to these guys saying you will keep your same ratio. They are not women and have not experienced this! Especially the one that said you will lose weight evenly over your whole body NOT TRUE, that is why there is different body types. Women tend to lose hip fat first and belly fat last. Additonally, your hips are bone but its the fat over top that creates the larger measurement, and this will shrink as you lose weight

Dani Pedrosa's manager Alberto Puig has launched a scathing attack on the Spaniard's Repsol Honda teammate Nicky Hayden.
The relationship between the pair has been strained since Pedrosa collided with Hayden at Estoril in 2006 in an incident that looked set to destroy the American's title hopes until Valentino Rossi's crash in the Valencia finale allowed Hayden to claim the...

Yea, D-D-D-Dani has sure looked good the last three races, and it is a good thing that that dumb old Nicky doesn't know how to set up his bike or he might forget his place is always behind D-D-D-Dani Puigosa.
Puig (a loser himself) is backing a stone loser in D. Pedrosa. No matter what Pedrosa may ever do on the track, he is still fails miserably as a man AND as a representative of Spanish manhood. Both of these clowns should keep their mouths off of Nicky and Dovizioso and start worrying about how they are going to explain seldom if ever making the podium next year!

oh dear, dani claims that nicky,s been stealing his set up,no wonder the mighty honda is a pile of crap, when rossi was haydens team mate he was nearly as quick on occasions,well done nicky for getting out of there.dani and alberto shood give up trying to win moto gp cos it aint gonna happenin your lifetime

How could Nicky Hayden have won the 2006 world title without finding his own setup? He couldn't copy Pedrosa's then could he, because Pedrosa was stil finding his own setup! And I don' believe that Pedrosa's setup would work with Hayden's style anyway, so how come Hayden has bettered Pedrosa in the last two races - on Michelins?! Lets just hope Nicky puts Pedrosa and Puig in their place on the Duke in '09!

i dont think Pedrosa'a info would be any use to Nicky anyway as the midget would require a different set-up form a normal person. I hope there is a long drought of wins ahead for the Pedrosa and Piug and looks like the massive weight advantage Dani has is not enough in moto-gp, unlike in 250 and 125 where it was too much for his rivals to make up for

Thats what Puig is talking... he's as stupid as that little boy he looks down to... how the hell can a bike set up from someone who weighs the same as a 5 year old kid be of any use to someone of the size & riding ability of Nicky... while we're on the subject, if the little runt is such a good set up artist & Nicky isn't, then how the hell have Honda put the DEVELOPMENT of their works bikes in the hands of Nicky for the last two years.. I get the feeling kn*bhead Puig has got the arse ache with Nicky cos he's beaten his little boy over the last few races, when he thought he would scorch off into the distance on Bridgestone... Don't you just love, KARMA... This is obviously the reason Dovi was holding out for a Suzuki ride rather than Honda...

What is Alberto his daddy now? I thought for one that the chassis between the two are different, and overall the bikes are so different that even if Hayden ran Dani-boys setup how could it even work? What a bunch of crap, Alberto stop making excuses and showing poor sportsmanship. Hayden won a Moto GP Championship, hmmm as for Dani, nope nothing there. I give Dani credit for being a decent rider, yet I think he can speak for himself, and does need his "daddy" Alberto to make things worse for him, or degrade other riders. I think Alberto should be happy he has a job, and work at getting things right in his camp (show some results before opening your mouth and pointing fingers). If Hayden suposedly stole setup info, how is it that it worked for him and not Pedrosa? I don't think so. Stop bringing animosity to the sport and instead support it. You don't see Jeremy B. talking crap about others or even Herv P.

don't even get me started on this article. I was reading it at work and nearly blew a gasket. As u can see I'm a major Nicky Hayden fan, so maybe a little on the biased side, but that aside, who the f*** does this guy think he's talking about.....oh yeah a world class rider who's actually won the top flight class on his own on a development bike that's who.....and also a guy who's a perfect gentleman and even when that little squirt did his best to ruin Nicky's title, never once made a public complaint about him. I'm also a big Honda fan, and even though Nicky's never once gone public about how he feels about them either and the way they've treated their world champion (mind Vale could've told him that), they still let him out to pasture over a little shit who hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of ever winning the championship and doesn't deserve it anyway. He hasn't got the class of charactor to be a champion.
Then there's squirts new little team mate slagging down Toseland for his moves at Motegi....I think they've found a perfect team mate for him don't u......they're both whinging whining little shit's...........
Well done to Nicky for wiping the floor with Dani for the last three races..even if I wasn't such a big fan, I'd be so pleased for him to shove it up Pedrosa's and Honda's arse.

I remember the first race Pedrosa had in Moto GP seeing Nicky dive under him in Doohan style, in the most glorious darky leaving tail slide. It was a welcome to the big boys swipe. So thier history probably starts way back. Not good idea to put one over little people They ahve big chips some of them. The fact is Nicky has not ever been the man to beat excatly. And being an HRC rider that is not good enough. He won the champion ship with out a string of wins to make it a great one. I really really like Hayden and we have not seen the best of him yet. But he clearly cannot be expected to set up a bike that will any good for Ped, as they are poles apart in size and style. How can they slag him off so much for that. It's down to Honda to have a simila rider to Pedrosa on board. . As for Whinging Dovi, how dare Toseland get in the way of "MY" 4th place. Good grief Dovi, go get a life. Valy called that situation right. He had to make a pass stick and get clear , or Toslenad was coming back through.Puig is bound to be sticking up for his man. Pedrosa has the speed the bike, but has not produced the goods. So he is his back foot and on the defence. Can't be bothered to talk about him any more. you all are summing his outfit pretty nicely

IRS Needs To Use White House Open Data Policy For Guidance
Posted on 05-25-2013
I'm reading IRS: Turn Over a New Leaf, Open Up Data, from the Open Knowledge Foundation blog. I'll let you read it in its entirety, but these are the points that are sticking with me:
One of Mr. Werfel's first actions on the job should be the immediate implementation of the groundbreaking Presidential Executive Order and Open Data policy, released last week, that requires data captured and generated by the government be made available in open, machine-readable formats. Doing so will make the IRS a beacon to other agencies in how to use open data to screen any wrongdoing and strengthen law enforcement.
By sharing readily available IRS data on tax-exempt organizations, encouraging Congress to pass a budget proposal that mandates release of all tax-exempt returns in a machine-readable format, and increasing the transparency of its own processes, the agency can begin to turn the page on this scandal and help rebuild trust and partnership between government and its citizens.
Making IRS data open won't solve every problem; the recent scandal has proven that the IRS must be more transparent about both the information it collects, but also how it manages that information. A commitment on day one to share the data it collects in a machine readable manner would show true leadership by Mr. Werfel and help solidify the Obama administration's legacy as an open government.
From my vantage point, in the world of APIs--I can't help but feel the solution to our "big government" illnesses is a little API therapy. The Open Data Policy has set the bar, and its up to the individual agencies to pay attention.
APIs are not just a technical band-aid. APIs start with a technical seed, but if a business or government entity internalizes the concepts around opening up, providing access, and setting up a feedback look with the public, partners or even with other departments, they will potentially let in a little sunlight. Something that can go a long way in preventing many of the illnesses we often associate with "big government".
I'm optimistic that the IRS can regain its footing. I'm seeing a lot of API and open data innovation coming out of the federal government lately. For such a controversial entity like the IRS to recover, they will need to open up, and communicate with the public, in a way that only APis can provide.

State Police in Reading offer car-seat checks
Published On: Sep 22 2013 11:25:17 AM CDT
State police offered a helping hand to parents this weekend.
Reading barracks officers did free car-seat checks all day Saturday.
Drivers lined up as troopers worked to make sure the seats are secured properly.
State police say most child seats are not installed the right way, and your child could be in danger.
Trooper David Beohm said, "You are carrying around your children in the car. The children are relying on you as the adult to make sure they are safe. So if you have any questions about if they are in correctly, you need to have them checked."
The car-seat check was part of child passenger safety week.

Comics Art Archives - Page 2 of 15 - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Creative process: Nguyen, Dagnino & Mena on 'Captain Midnight' #16
Hitting shelves today, Captain Midnight #16 is a special Halloween-themed issue by writer Joshua Williamson, artist Fernando Dagnino and colorist Javier Mena. To mark its release, editor Jim Gibbons provided ROBOT 6 with a glimpse into Dustin Nguyen's cover process, as well as the evolution of some of the interior pages.
They may not be Earth's mightiest heroes, but they're the cutest
Illustrator Rocky Davies, who previously took us back to the '80s with supervillain album covers, now delivers an overdose of cuteness with his "Kid Hero" series, depicting pint-sized versions of Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Leonardo (of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame) and more.
I know I should probably question teeny Tony Stark's Van Dyke, but I'm too busy smiling about li'l Nick Fury chomping on a peppermint stick.
Doctor Strange and Dormammu materialize in Mondo prints
Could the timing be anything other than magical? Following word that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is in talks to play Marvel's Doctor Strange, Mondo is offering prints from the We Buy Your Kids gallery exhibit that include two downright psychedelic renditions of the Sorcerer Supreme and his classic foe Dormammu.
The two takes on the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko creations look as if they should be rendered on black velvet, which may not be such a bad idea. Each18-inch by 24-inch print is $40, with Dormammu limited to 110 copies and Strange to 125. Keep the Eye of Agamotto trained on the Mondo Twitter feed, where they on-sale time will be announced sometime today.
Jock and Francavilla help Mondo celebrate Batman's 75th
For those of us who can't make it to Austin for Mondo's gallery show celebrating the 75th anniversary of Batman, Slashfilm has rounded up all of the prints and paintings on display. It's an incredible collection of works that draws inspiration from television, film and comic books, although more the first two than the list.
However, ROBOT 6 favorites Jock and Francesco Francavilla do stick close to home with their contributions: Batman: Year One (in regular and variant varieties), by Jock; Batman & Dracula: Red Rain by Francavilla; and Batman: The Black Mirror, a collaboration between the two of them.
Sideshow Collectibles adds premium art prints
Sideshow Collectibles, best known for its premium figures, has expanded into limited-edition art prints featuring Marvel and DC Comics properties, and its own Court of the Dead.
Its Premium Art Print line debuts with Gotham Sirens: Poison Ivy by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, Spider-Woman by Scott Forbes, and Kier: Call of the Forsaken Valkyrie by David Palumbo, with upcoming work promised from the likes of Ariel Olivetti, Kris Anka and Fabian Schlaga.
Priced at $79.99, each 18-inch by 24-inch print is hand-numbered, and includes a penciled artist signature and embossed seal of authenticity.
Creative process: Gibbons and Goellner's 'Birch Squatch' #1
Beginning today, writer Jim Gibbons and artist Caleb Goellner's Birch Squatch: The Last Bigfoot #1 (which premiered digitally in mid-September on Gumroad) is available on comiXology for 99 cents. To mark the occasion, Goellner shared with ROBOT 6 a glimpse into the creative process through a series of images.
The comic, about a legendary figure driven out of the woods by rampant development, is definitely worth a read.
Screen Panel announces 'Revival' print series
Secret Panel, the Chicago-based screen print collective, is launching a print series based on Revival, the "rural noir" series by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton.
Limited-edition prints by Angela An, Randy Ortiz and Revival cover artist Jenny Frison have been teased on Secret Panel's Facebook page, but not fully revealed. They'll be available for $30 each (quantities are limited to 140 copies), or all three, plus an exclusive Secret Panel print, for $90.
Mondo celebrates 75 years of Batman with gallery show
We've already seen plenty of 75th-anniversary tributes to Batman, but the year isn't over just yet — and beginning Friday, Mondo takes its turn.
The collectible-art boutique, which in July debuted a series of Batman: The Animated Series 7-inch vinyl records featuring Danny Elfman's theme, will celebrate the Dark Knight's milestone with a gallery show in Austin featuring posters and original art from more than 30 artists.
Six artists explain how they stage a fight sequence
Anyone with even a passing interest in comics art and storytelling should set aside some time to read this A.V. Club discussion with three Marvel art teams — Tradd Moore and Val Staples, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire, and Michael Walsh and Matthew Wilson — about their approach to staging specific action scenes in their respective books All-New Ghost Rider, Moon Knight and Secret Avengers.
"I used a lot of panels here of varied sizes because I feel it gives the scene an undulating flow," Moore explains of an All-New Ghost Rider page. "I do that a lot with fight scenes. Speed up, slow down, rise, fall. It's kind of mesmerizing to me. To make a comparison to metal: The small panels are like a frantic blast beat, while the bigger, clearer panels are like a heavy breakdown or head-banging riff. I imagine viewers' eyes speeding up and slowing down, widening and narrowing, as they scan across the page. I think it's the kind of page that warrants multiple, extended views."
NYCC | Check out Tom Whalen's Gotham library cards
Speaking of Mondo, boutique mainstay Tom Whalen is exhibiting this week at New York Comic Con, where he'll have for sale a selection of prints Batman '66, the Universal Monsters series, The Incredibles, Ghostbusters and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. As if collectors need any incentive for buying the posters, Whalen is offering daily specials, which includes — on Thursday — a free Gotham Public Library card set with a purchase of $100 or more.
While I like Whalen's design of the card, I appreciate his attention to detail even more: For instance, "S. Kyle" first checked out The Secret Lives of Cats on April 7, 1940, roughly corresponding to her first appearance in Batman #1; American Robins is borrowed by a succession of people — on the appropriate dates — ranging from D. Grayson to C. Kelly, and so on. He even includes Dewey Decimal classifications.
This scrap-metal Hulk is nothing short of incredible
The BanHunLek metal workshop in Thailand specializes in creating hand-crafted art out of used auto parts. We're not talking the quirky little figures your eccentric uncle threw together using a few discarded spark plugs, a bolt and those stick-on googly eyes. No, these are mind-blowing scrap-metal sculptures ranging from Batman and R2-D2 to classic Iron Man and the head of Gollum.
However, the most spectacular creation may be — oh, heck, it is — this highly detailed, and seemingly life-sized, Incredible Hulk. Check out the images below, and find more pieces on the BanHunLek Facebook page. Just don't tell the WGN news team; they won't be able to handle it.
Artist carves Groot sculpture using chainsaws
When it came time for chainsaw artist Griffon Ramsey to decide what she would sculpt next, she turned to Twitter for suggestions — and she quickly learned that Groot is very, very popular.
So, using Eastern Red Cedar and chainsaws, Ramsey went to work carving the breakout star of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, as she documents in the video below, which is as much a documentary about the artist's approach and philosophy as it is about the sculpture.
Mondo is offering prints by Ross, Francavilla and Shaw
On Thursday, Mondo will offer six posters by Alex Ross, Francesco Francavilla and Jay Shaw that were previously only available at MondoCon, held last month in Austin, Texas. So if you're a fan of those artists, or of The Iron Giant, Afterlife With Archie or Deadpool, you'll probably want to keep an eye on Mondo's Twitter account for the on-sale announcements.
Check out the prints, and the details, below.
The clock is ticking down to the start of InkTober!
Although it may not be as big as National Novel Writing Month, over the past five years InkTober has grown into a global event. What's InkTober, you ask? It's a challenge created in 2009 by illustrator Jake Parker to help improve inking skills and work habits — and this year's edition starts tomorrow.
If the date sneaked up on you, don't panic: All that's required is a pen or brush and paper — but you'll probably also need an Internet connection, and either a scanner or digital camera.
Each day throughout October, you simply make an ink drawing and upload to your blog, Facebook page, or Twitter or Instagram account, accompanied by the hashtag #inktober. (Or, as Parker suggests, you can simply pin it to your wall.)
That's it: 31 drawings in 31 days. Parker breaks down the rules, and provides a list of resources, on his website.
UFC debuts UFC 181 poster by Howard Porter and Alex Sinclair
To help promote its UFC 181 pay-per-view event, the UFC turned to DC Comics for a comic book-style poster, created by Howard Porter and Alex Sinclair.
The result, which showcases the card's two title fights — Robbie Lawler vs. Johny Hendricks and Anthony Pettis vs. Gilbert Melendez — was unveiled Friday during a press conference.
A lifelong fan of mixed martial arts, the former JLA and Flash artist said he was thrilled when asked by DC to illustrate the poster.

Our Difference | Corporate Programs | FAQs | Testimonials | Blog | Sitemap | Sell Your Tickets
Daughtry is much more than just a rare rock band to emerge from the ranks of American Idol. It is a rock band constantly on the move, spending significantly more time on stage performing for those with Daughtry tickets than in the recording studio. It is difficult to argue against this strategy, as hard rock has been more dominant on the live stage than on the charts. In 2012, Daughtry will be joining 3 Doors Down on a 19-city tour of the United States from November 17 to December 15, 2012.
To begin with, Daughtry emerged after Season 5 of American Idol, when frontman Chris Daughtry emerged the runner up to Taylor Hicks. In typical American Idol fashion, Daughtry would outsell Hicks. Somehow, despite Chris's second career start with one of the fastest selling albums in the Soundscan era, the group would choose to stay on the road. Since the self-debut album, the group has only released two albums, Leave This Town and Break the Spell.
Yet, there has rarely been a month since the formation of the group seven years ago in which the group has not toured. As mentioned in the opening paragraph, this has been a fortuitous decision. Hard rock is hardly a thriving music genre on the charts. Unless a group has 20 years and several platinum records behind, most hard rock groups can best hope for gold status. Most hard rock albums are branded abominations by the critics and are lost in the charts.
There are millions of fans who love the genre though, and they seem to prefer the music live. Thus, Chris Daughtry, an artist who emulates Creed, Alice in Chains, and STP, has kept just enough albums to put together some chart hits. Most of these are early songs from the band: "It's Not Over", "Home", and "Over You". These tracks are the anchors for the set list each and every night.

11-Year-Old Girl Sent Home From School With Letter Informing Parents She's Fatby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
An 11-year-old Florida girl was sent home from school with a letter informing her parents that she's overweight, a controversial practice by any measure.
But wait until you hear what she actually weighs ...
The girl is 5'5" and tips the scales at 124 pounds.
While that sounds like the definition of normal, the county health department came to Lily Grasso's middle school in Naples, Fla., to screen the kids.
Since Lily's BMI registered at 22, she was put into the "overweight" category and a (pejoratively nicknamed) "fat letter" was sent out, enraging her mom.
While the letter's intent is clearly coming from the right, anti-obesity place, one wonders if this is only compounding kids' self-esteem and body issues.
In this case, with a girl like Lily who isn't anyone's definition of overweight, will she develop a complex over being told she's fat in such an official way?
As her mom, Kristen, asked, should a test like this be done by a doctor, rather than a school? Should a school go further than promoting diet and exercise?
Parents were given the option to opt out, but it appears they had little idea what was to be expected from the screening. Tell us what you think below:
School letters to parents about kids' weight: Right or wrong?
Failing to appropriately handle purchasers and sustain shopper fulfillment extends considerably over and above the lack of the influenced customer. As soon as they are really long gone, so way too are definitely the people today they know your possibilities potential purchasers.
http://www.macclesfieldhomeopa... http://www.macclesfieldhomeopa...
WTF is wrong with people.
Huh??? That idiotic school had no right at all to send that stupid-ass letter home to that 11-year-old girl's parents. This THG article is further proof that the school system in our country is being run by a bunch of snobby and sneer-filled JACKASSES. And, that girl's parents should DEFINITELY sue that stupid-ass school!!!!! ASAP!!!!!
um, I'm 5 foot 5 and I was told I should be between 130-135 pounds.
ok even for an 11 year old girl she might be in the 84th percentile but its still "healthy" http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpab...
On most BMI charts that would be a 20 and the healthy range is about 18/19 - 24. This is ridiculous and BMI doesn't account for fat distribution and muscle mass.
If anything the girl is healthy not fat. Some fat for the body is okay.
First of all the title of this article is misleading (probably to get readers and stir up controversy). The girl wasnt singled out and sent home with a letter that no one else had. The school does health screenings that cover vision, hearing, and BMI among other things. These screenings are required in 21 states. So every student gets screened and the results are taken home to their parents by the students. The letter even states that the results of BMI may vary due to athletics (more muscle mass results in higher BMI). And yes I voted yes because more states should do this. Its an informative tool for the parents and nothing else. If you dont want or need the tool and take your kids to the doctor regularly you can opt out of the screenings.
I would have a lawyer addressing that so fast the school wouldn't know what hit them!!
Whoever voted yes is an idiot too!!! Ugh, I'm really starting to dislike this so called humanity. :(
