The license law, which went into effect in January 2010, is working because young drivers are getting more supervised practice behind the wheel before being allowed on Kansas' highways.
Kansas Department of Transportation records show the number of accidents involving drivers 14 through 16 years old dropped from more than 5,000 in 2004 and 2005 to fewer than 3,000 last year. Meanwhile, the Associated Press — citing a Wichita Eagle report — reported that the number of fatalities involving drivers in that age group went from an average of 22 a year from 2004 through 2009 to 15 in 2010 and nine in 2011.
It's a law that was necessary.
The graduated license law carries two main provisions designed to increase the amount of supervision a teenage driver receives before getting an unrestricted license. The first requires all teenage drivers to have a learner's permit for 12 months before obtaining a restricted or unrestricted license. A restricted license allows unsupervised driving to and from work or school. Then, a 16-year-old who gets a full license is prohibited during the first six months from using a cellular phone while driving, having more than one non-sibling minor passenger, and driving after 9 p.m. except to and from work or school.
Those stipulations have helped to limit the number of potential distractions for young motorists. Keeping them out of harm's way is essential. The death of a teen — especially during an accident that could have been avoided — is a tragedy not only for a family, but an entire community.
The residual impact of the license law is that the roads are now safer for all of us. Our lawmakers should be praised for taking action.

Setting Up Two Displays on One Computer (Windows 98, ME, and XP)
This document applies to HP and Compaq desktop computers with TV compatible video connectors using Windows 98, Me, and XP.
This document explains how to connect and set up a television (TV) or a second monitor as a second display. Using the secondary video connection on the graphics adapter, you can connect a TV (S-Video, RCA) or another monitor (DVI, HDMI) to your computer.
If you added a video card and are using the video connectors on the card, see the documentation that came with the video card before using this document.
NOTE: Not all HP and Compaq computers ship with a secondary video connector. If your computer does not have a second video connector, install a graphics adapter with a video connector or buy special video signal processing equipment before using a TV as a monitor.
Connecting a TV or second monitor to the computer
To connect a second display to the computer and configure the computer for your viewing environment, complete the following steps:
NOTE:If the picture displayed on the TV or monitor does not fit on the screen, or has blank areas to the sides of the screen, then use the TV or monitor zoom or aspect ratio feature. On TVs, aspect or zoom is usually found as a button on the remote control.
Position the monitor and television
Place the monitor and television in their respective locations, depending on how you want to use the displays:
|Position the computer monitor on a desk so you can view both displays and the audience. Place the television where any member of the audience can easily view it.
|Work desktop
|Place the computer monitor and television side by side. Allow a little more viewing distance between the two displays and the viewer's eyes.
|Home computing desktop
Identify the type of cables you need
The type of video cable you need depends on your TV and monitor.
- Select one TV cable and one monitor cable:NOTE:A TVs resolution is roughly half the quality of a monitor that is set at 640 x 480. Image quality can appear worse when using higher display resolutions because higher resolutions bring out the lower resolution of standard TV. This is a limitation of the TV standard.
- Verify that the second display and the graphics adapter have the same type of video connectors. A matching video connector type must be on the both the TV and the computer before you can use these steps.
- For a TV, use either an S-Video or standard composite (also known as RCA cables) cable that matches the TV in connector. You can use an S-Video-to-composite adapter when the video card only has an S-Video connector.
- If the television does not have a composite or S-Video connection and has only a coaxial or antenna connector, use an adapter that connects S-Video/composite to the coaxial connector. These are readily available from most local electronics supply stores at minimal cost.Coaxial video is another type of cable or connection that typically carries a composite video signal. This connection is mainly used by local cable and satellite television companies to deliver their signals. Most graphics adapters do not have a coaxial-style out connector because they send out their own TV signal.
- For a monitor, use the VGA connector.
Connect the cables
Use the following steps to connect both displays to the computer:
- Connect the TV or second monitor to the computer. Select the first available connection from the following list, depending on the television and computer in connections:
Connector Installation S-Video Connect an S-Video cable to the S-Video out connector on back of the computer and the S-Video in connector on the back of the television. Composite video Connect a composite video cable to the composite video out connector on back of the computer and the composite video in connector on the back of the television. Second monitor If you are using a second monitor instead of a TV, connect the additional monitor cable to the extra VGA or DVI out connector on back of the computer and the VGA or DVI in connector on the back of the monitor.
- If you want to use the speakers on a TV for audio, use one of the following methods:
- A Y-adapter cable that connects a mini-jack connector (the connector that plugs into the computer) to two RCA-style stereo connectors (the connectors on a stereo TV).
- Use the audio from the computer, if your current audio cables do not connect to the TV.
- Turn on the TV or second monitor. Do not turn on the computer.
- Change the input source setting to match the incoming signal connection (usually Line-1, Video-1 or S-Video). Press the TV remote control input button, if using a TV.NOTE:This step is important. If a TV is not on and changed to the proper video source, the video card cannot detect the TV.
Configure the display settings
To configure Windows for the extra display, use one of the following sections depending on how you want to use the TV:
Classroom and presentation environments
Use the following steps to show what is happening on the computer to an audience:
- Turn on the computer. Wait until the Windows desktop opens before continuing.The second display might show the computer screen as the computer starts, depending on the video card.
- If the same image of the Windows desktop displays on both the second display and the monitor, move the mouse pointer to see if the cursor moves both inside the monitor and the second display.
NOTE:If the Windows desktop never displays on the monitor, disconnect the second display from the computer and reconnect it again after restarting the computer and opening Windows. If you have a TV, this must be done on the monitor because a TV does not show enough detail, making it difficult to finish the rest of these steps.
- If the mouse pointer cursor moves in both displays at the same time, you do not have to continue. The video card automatically uses a presentation environment when it detects the second display. However, you might still want to continue to adjust the video image and see if your video card can reduce flickering, and increase sharpness, and other quality settings for a TV signal.
- If the mouse pointer moves only in one display, continue using these steps to setup up the presentation environment.
- Right-click anywhere on an open area of the Windows desktop and click Properties.
- Click the Settings tab.NOTE:If you are using a TV, you can change the display resolution for the computer as low as possible to help the image quality on the TV. Icons and other items display larger and can be seen more easily on the TV if using a lower resolution, such as 640 by 480 pixels or 800 by 600 pixels. Click Apply if you change the resolution setting.
- Click the Advanced button.
- This step depends on the options that the video card provides. Click through the advanced video card display properties screens and look for a display feature that copies the image from the computer onto both displays.The following table shows video cards that are common to HP and Compaq computers, how to find dual display windows from Advanced Display properties, and how to use their display copying features:
Video Card Procedure ATI Radeon - TV
- Click the Displays tab.The monitors and TVs are shown. The upper-left corner of each display icon is a button and a status indicator. A red corner indicates an inactive display; a green corner indicates an active display. (YPbPr displays if component video is selected.)
- To view the display on your monitor and TV simultaneously, click the upper-left corner of the TV icon. It becomes green. Both the monitor and the TV icons have green corners.
nVidia GeForce 6XXX - Clone
- Ensure to select nView Display Settings in the list on the left side.
- Select Clone from the nView Display Mode drop down menu.
- Select the Primary and secondary displays from the drop down menu.
nVidia GeForce 4/FX - Clone
NOTE:You can make more adjustments now to try to increase the quality of the picture on the TV.
- Click the tab that contains the name of the video card.
- Click nView Display mode from the list in the left pane .
- Click Clone in the tab window.
- After making the selection, click Apply.
- When the image displays on the TV screen, click Yes to keep the setting. You have 15 seconds to accept this new setting before it returns to the previous setting.
- Click OK to save changes. Click OK again to close the window.Both the monitor and the second display show the same image.
Figure 2: Example of ATI video card display window
Desktop environment (extended Windows XP desktop space)
Use the following steps to configure Windows so that it uses the TV as extra desktop space:
- Turn on the computer.The TV might show the computer screens as the computer starts depending on the video card. Wait until Windows opens before continuing.
- If Windows never displays on the monitor, disconnect the TV from the computer and reconnect it again after turning the computer on and opening Windows. You have to do this because a TV cannot display the details of the monitor, making it difficult to continue using these steps.
- Right-click anywhere on an open area of the Windows desktop, select Properties, and then click the Settings tab.
- The number one blue rectangle represents primary display and the number two blue rectangle represents the secondary display (usually the TV).
- Click the number one rectangle and adjust the Screen Resolution setting to 1024 x 768 pixels, Then set the color quality to Highest (32 bit).
- Click OK.If a Monitor Settings window displays after the screen properties change, click Yes.
- Right-click anywhere on an open area of the desktop, select Properties, and then click the Settings tab.
- Click the number two rectangle. If a Monitor 2 message displays, click Yes to enable the television signal.
- Select Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.
- Adjust the Screen Resolution setting to 1024 x 768 pixels, set the color quality to Highest (32 bit), and then click OK.
- Click and drag the blue rectangles that represent the displays and position them next to each other. Position them so that they visually represent how the display devices are sitting on the desk. For example, if the TV is sitting on a shelf directly over the monitor, you would click and drag the blue rectangle that represents the TV so that it is directly over the blue rectangle that represents the monitor.
- Click OK. If a Monitor Settings window displays after the screen properties change, click Yes.The extended desktop is configured and ready for use
Troubleshooting TV setup
Try the following items if you encounter problems when trying to connect a TV to the computer:
- Certain graphics adapters must have the TV set as the graphics display adapter before recognizing it. If the computer is not "detecting" the TV as a display device when the computer is on, set TV as the primary display device in Windows and restart the computer.
- Turn on the TV before turning on the computer.
- TVs require their source setting changed to the video source that the video card is using. Select either Input 1, Input 2, or S-Video by pressing the Source or Input Source button on the TVs remote control. This can vary depending on the type of TV you are using. If your TV does not have this capability, you cannot use it as a second monitor without using special video signal processing (not covered in this document). For more detailed instructions consult the manual for your TV.
- Try setting the screen resolution to 800 x 600 or less from Display Properties on the computer.
- After changing the display resolution in Windows to the best possible resolution across devices, you might need to adjust the aspect ratio on some of the televisions/monitors to scale the image to the screen.
- Try using only one video source. Do not connect two cables to the TV or monitor at the same time.
- A TV accepts either a PAL (Europe) or NTSC (North America) signal, depending on the country/region of manufacture. Make sure that the signal format of the TV matches the signal output that the card produces (for on-board TV-output, change this setting in the BIOS).

Falling from prone and Crouch
at the moment if you crouch or prone somewhere you can't fall down from buildings or so. Why that? I think it would be much better if you always can fall down. And if you prone on places with only 5% ground under your body, fall down. When you want to go over small things you need to go slow and carefully, not only press the crouch key.
|18th Oct 2001, 03:05 PM
well, for crouch i believe it's mainly to reflect the fact that you would be goign quite carfeully anyways... i do, however, agree to some extent about the falling if you prone on a surface that shouldn't realistically support you (going prone perpendicular to a 2 inch plank comes to mind)... although in all honesty the game should simply not allow it to happen... the falling idea might create come interesting situations and resulting screenshots, though...
st0rmcaller: I didn't have to wear pink...
st0rmcaller: But then again, It's not like I'm getting any
st0rmcaller: so I may as well wear pink
thepinklamb: lmao
st0rmcaller: but then, I may wind up getting some. the kind of some no man wants
st0rmcaller: I shoulda moved to Nevada, not Vriginia. Nevada has whores.
st0rmcaller: Virginia is for lovers, but **** me if that means all the chicks are taken.
st0rmcaller: <---****ed.
st0rmcaller: If female, and under the age of 90, she's a ****in winner
thepinklamb: lol
st0rmcaller: Hey, I got to have SOME standards
st0rmcaller: mebbe 85
|18th Oct 2001, 03:31 PM
This is not Tribes 2 and we can't see our legs to look if we can go on some more without falling down ...yet. Till we can do that a way to aproach a edge without falling down is more or less nessesarry, maybe even when we can see the legs... But it would be nice if we could have a extra key for it instead of crouch/prone.
PS. I guess it's just left in since UT handles it the same way. (no prone in UT, i know... )
|18th Oct 2001, 05:13 PM
its real easy, to walk over small planks without seeing your feet. but its not so easy to stay on the small plank, crouched, aiming, strafing, evade bullets an fire your weapon.

As soon as the Boots Christmas Catalogue hit the shelves I had one in my possession, with sticky labels on the pages of things I need in my life. Subtle eh? Lucky for me my other half picked up on my hints, and on my birthday morning I woke up to a beautiful mascara medley.
The Clinique Mascara Wardrobe is stunning, and all of the mascaras pretty awesome too. The bottom lash mascara is instantly a favourite, with a cute design on the tube, and the most minuscule of brushes. It is incredibly easy to use, and provides you with long and defined lashes that don't budge until you take your makeup off. The High Impact Mascara is also a definite repurchase, and makes my lashes so thick and voluminous. The Lash Power Mascara has a thin wand which is never usually something that floats my boat, however this is great for getting natural wispy lashes which are also pretty long lasting. Lastly there is a the Lash Doubling Mascara which has a conical shaped wand, and smells faintly of the acrylic paint used in primary schools, however this doesn't seem to bother me much. This doesn't quite double your lashes, and is a bit lack-lustre in comparison to the High Impact Mascara, but is good for an every day look.
This retails at around £28, and as far as I am aware this is a limited edition collection which can onl be found in Boots. I honestly believe this is worth every penny, and would recommend this to anyone on the hunt for the perfect mascara.

Facebook Provides Users With App Dashboard Privacy Controls
One of the more interesting features within the new Facebook dashboards is the ability to see which applications and games the people in your friend list have been using. Although this is a great way to discover new apps, there were privacy concerns around having so much information visible to friends automatically.
Facebook took the first step to address this last week with the introduction of a privacy control at the developer level. Now, application developers can decide whether their app or game will appear in a user's friends dashboards or not. This is useful for application types that a developer thinks a user might avoid if their friends knew they were using it. However, it doesn't provide privacy options to the users themselves.
Since last week, Facebook has added a new privacy control on the user application privacy settings page (accessed from the new "Account" dropdown at the top right of the page and clicking on "Applications and Websites") that lets the user do just that. There, you can see a new option for controlling "Activity on applications and games dashboards", shown below:
The control gives users a number of options as to who will be able to see their application activity. The choices are similar to those that control status update and other wall visibility: "Everyone", "Friends and networks", "Friends of friends" or "Only friends". Obviously, Facebook prefers that everyone shares information at least with their friend network.
Click on the "Customize" option, though, and a dialogue box appears with the ability to restrict the information to certain friends (or to hide it from specified friends), networks, or for maximum privacy: "Only me". This effectively gives the user the ability to hide all of their application activity from their friends.
Although it doesn't provide the ability to hide only particular applications, this does provide a way for those users who are most sensitive about the apps and games they interact with to hide their activity. However, we doubt a large number of users will end up setting this option.

Four Stages of Competence
I have been reading a lot about models of learning, expertise and how individuals learn. I really enjoy this simple model of skill development. Developed by Noel Burch an employee of the consulting firm, Gordon Training International the model suggests that there are four stages of learning.
In the first stage, unconsciously unskilled, an individual is unaware of what they need to learn in a particular domain. In other words, "they do not know, what they do not know." In this stage an individual may behave or act in a way that undermines their objective or impedes success simply because they lack the needed knowledge, skills or abilities to succeed.
In the second stage, consciously unskilled, an individual becomes aware of their inability to succeed in a particular task or skill. In other words, they observe themselves lacking the knowledge, skills or abilities to succeed. This may be accompanied by a heightened understanding of just how far one has to go to reach success in a particular domain.
The consciously skilled phase is marked by practice, trial/error and experimentation. The individual knows "how to do the skill the right way, but need(s) to think and work hard to do it" (Adams, 2012, para. 10).
The final stage is unconsciously skilled and after continual practice and success the leaner no longer needs to expend the same level of energy on the task as in previous stages. The skill or ability is more or less automatic and even "natural" according to Adams (2012).
So how does all of this apply to leadership development? I think there are a number of connections that can and should be made. For instance, it helps program architects get into the mindset that in "leadership development" we are trying to develop skill vs. simply promote conceptual understanding which tends to dominate leader development programs. Rarely does someone leave a program knowing that they have truly developed in their skill to lead others. Could you sit in a classroom and talk about soccer for three days and expect great players at the conclusion? They may know more, but are they better at playing?

30 Inspiring "About Me" Pages
"About me" pages have the ability to engage and inform your site visitors in a personal and friendly way. For web professionals, our "About me" page can be critical in establishing a true connection with potential clients, and it can set us apart from a sea of other designers and developers.
For different types of websites, keep in mind that the About page could be structured differently. For example, an About page for a blog or news site can be vastly different when compared to the same page for a portfolio website.
In this collection, I've rounded up 30 excellent "About me" pages from the web portfolios of amazing designers, artists, illustrators, and developers. Enjoy!
Toby Powell
An interesting use of a cutout/silhouette sets this designer's About page out from the crowd. A halftone self-portrait and a concise biography of the site owner rounds out this web page's design.
Most designers use a professional headshot photo of themselves on their About pages, but this designer from Sweden presents an interesting and unique perspective with his overhead shot. Bold typography draws you in to create added visual interest.
Dan Joe Design
The designer used a grid layout in the layout of his About page. Contemporary colors inform you of the designer's style, while a status message of his availability to take on new projects makes it clear to prospective clients whether he's available or not.
Tim Van Damme
A unique and effective way of organizing your personal information on the web is to create an online business card (vCard). In doing so, we learn who the designer is, other places to connect with him, and how to get in touch with him.
James A. Reeves
The About page for James A. Reeves is simple and modular, allowing for the large-scale photography in the background.
The artistic design of Janis's website is very captivating. It gives you a glimpse into the designer's personal aesthetic style, while supplying the information you need to hire him for your next project. The use of large photography can leave a lasting impression on the visitor if done effectively, as shown in this About page.
Here's another example where the designer used a self-portrait in a unique and engaging way. Including a large self-portrait on your site gives a potential client a real person to relate with.
Jared Christensen
Jared Christensen used a humorous, catchy self-portrait on his About page to not only allude to his sense of humor, but also allow the client to see his creative side a little more personally.
Jason Reed
Jason Reed uses a nice illustration of himself in his About page. The use of an illustration is another way to grab the visitor's attention and add a more character to your About page.
Soh Tanaka
This designer organized his credentials in an easily digestible format. Large photography offsets the information and gives you an idea of the site owner's style and influences.
Emerge and Bloom
On this website for a design studio, information is organized efficiently, both giving you an idea of their services while presenting attributes of the designers behind the company.
Here's another striking About page. As you can see, the design is simple, but fun and illustrative.
Alex Dawson
Alexander Dawson (a Six Revisions writer) presents his About page in a very efficient, functional manner. From looking at his credentials, you get a quick overview of who he is, what he does, and the services he excels in. It's really all you can ask for from an "About me" page, right?
Adham Dannaway
Through the use of a grid layout, Adham Dannaway achieves a simple, straightforward About page that also gives you an idea of his skills, illustrated as graphs.
The About page for egopop presents a large-scale photo of the designer as well as a simple biographical statement about himself and his history as it relates to his profession.
Monkeyworks uses a clean, structured layout on their About page. Not only are the illustrations captivating, but the typography stands out and the graphics used add a nice touch.
Darren Hoyt
Great use of typography is what stands out in this "About me" page. Not only does the type make the page easy to read, the grid layout increases readability as well.
Mark McGall
The designer took their About page to the next level by superimposing their face on Mount Rushmore. Tastefully done, this tactic adds a unique and memorable visual to an otherwise straightforward page.
Mr. Joe Payton
The About page of Joe Payton presents a short bio about him in a beautifully laid out format. The designer also presents information for following him on various social networking sites.
Elliot Jay Stocks
The About page of Elliot Jay Stocks is laid out rather simply, but the typography is carefully thought-out and makes you want to explore this designer's work further. The designer, who is also a speaker and author, presents you with links to pertinent information related to his professional activities.
Kitschen Sink
The compelling website for Kitschen Sink made me want to explore the About page. I found out that they're a jewelry and accessories shop and I learned the history behind the company. Although it's laid out very simply, captivating branding led me to the About page through curiosity.
Matt Mullenweg
Matt Mullenweg sets the backdrop for his About page on a highly textured background. These visual layers compelled me to read more about the founder of WordPress.
Who is Leon
This beautiful About page features animations and depth to draw the visitor in. Clear typography and a monochromatic color scheme set this About page apart.
Amour Chaleur
This designer's About page is really simple and straightforward. It includes a short bio, links to relevant info, and her library. It's always the neatly designed pages that attract me the most.
This beautiful About page of designer Meagan Fisher lets you know all the pertinent information about her and the services she provides. Included are links to social networks and other affiliated websites, all organized into a clean and inviting format.
Lord Likely
This compelling About page's character is what draws the visitor in. Inspired by Victorian-era design, the designer implemented old-world style in creating a unique and professional page that serves as an introduction to himself.
Dustin Curtis
This unique About page presents a timeline of the site owner's life — from birth to his projected death.
Ian Mintz
The beautiful watercolor illustrations grabbed my attention on this website. As you can see, his About page is laid out very simply and elegantly. We get a sense of his design influences, on top of his skills and education, through this clean and straightforward approach.
Large-scale photography is what sets this "About me" page apart. The page is laid out in a clear format, providing information about the designer and where he can be found.
Floating Asian Kid
The interaction on this website intrigued me enough to explore its About page. You can see from his short biography what the designer specializes in and how to reach him.

Great stuff, hope one day to have one of this list. An about page is a hard thing to do. Talking about myself is such a hard feat.
Tom Walters
Nice post, but you have mixed up the images and links for Matt Mullenweg and Leon.
Nice collection, some novel and interesting ideas.
BTW – Matt Mullenweg and Leon copy mixed up.
The juxtaposition of all the freelance/designer/developer help articles nowadays is making my head spin. These are all inspiring and encouraging. I really love a few of them. But then I have to weight them against all of the "get rid of the 'you' image in your portfolio, and ditch the 'I' and 'me' speak and focus only on the client" talk that's really buzzing right now. Choices…choices…
S.K. (Insfired)
Jason Reed's is my pick because it is not only designed superbly, it doesn't force you to read through hundreds of words before knowing what his fields of expertise are. It makes skimming easier :)
Gilberto Ramos
Nice collection!! Adam Dannaway's one is my fav..!
Brian Krogsgard
The links to Matt Mullenweg and Who is Leon are backward… and Matt's theme was updated months ago, and doesn't match the picture. Nice collection though.
Brooklynne Kennedy
hey a few of the screenshots/info stuff is all mixed up
Ricardo Machado
:) Really good looking about me pages. I like specially the Jason Reed :) Very clean…
Mine one is not thaaat good, as I'm a web developer rather than a designer. :) Good works of art.
Leslie Sansone Williams
Beautiful collection. Love the diversity from page to page. Thanks for sharing.
Alexander Dawson
@Stephanie: Thanks for including me in your list. I feel honoured to be mentioned among some of the greats in Web Design (who have some great designs to match)!
Terry Griffin
I've been reading posts on design blogs that suggest that designers focus too much of their copy on themselves, and not enough on what they can do for the client/prospect. And there's something to be said for that. Although it's hard to get away from "I" talk when you're writing your About page, I think the designer should weight what info is truly relevant to let prospects know. And if you deem it important to let clients know you love basketball, then go for it!
Sydney Miles
Very creative idea! Thanks for sharing your collection of unique "About Me" pages. I love the simplicity and pertinence of Alex Dawson's about me page; I also like the one of Soh Tanaka as it is very succint and it has stunning color combination; I like the elegance of Mark McGall's page….You have a wonderfully creative mind to be able to choose from among so many equally creative, different, and tastefully-designed websites. Cheers!
Adham Dannaway
Thanks for the mention Stephanie. There's some really creative about me pages here. I especially like the Owltastic page :-)
Adham Dannaway
Hey guys, you spelled my name wrong. Any chance of fixing it? Thanks.
Tara S.
I love Dan's page,it's so cool and refreshing!
It's time to upgrade!
Michishige Kaito
I thought you wanted to mention web developers too, but I can only see designers.
Stefan Rynkowski
Thank you for the new inspiration ;)
Thank you so much for listing my site. It's really great that you include a description with each image. It's a nice–and appreciated–touch.
my about page is called: me, myself and i. Please visit
@gilberto ramos
I like the Adam Dannaway's page, too.
This is a great collection of "About me" pages :) I like Adham Dannaway's about page the most, it's effective, it has a catchy color scheme and it makes you smile.
here is a quite interactive one: designworks.com.pl
Nice collection of pages. I was just thinking of making one. So these pages are very INSPIRING.
Thank you
Adham Dannaway
Thanks for that Jacob! =)
@Stephanie Hamilton Thank you, great compilation.The most unpretentious guys) Adham Dannaway's design is cool, but some are tragically losing the main sense: Respect yourself and others will respect you. Actually, people, share your thought of how to convert PSD to WordPress? Is there any specific software used? I am not a prof coder, so I can not cut to CSS and stuff…Give an answer your vision, please…
I was also experimenting with about.me splash page but it looks too static for my taste ..
Thanks for the mention guys! By the way, my site name is spelled as "Amour" but "Amore". :)
Adrian Cabrero
Fantastic list. Not a fan of the storyteller "about me's" unless you are a fantastic copywriter but, a little description never hurts. Selfless plug goes here: http://www.mytummytalkstome.com/info.html
Tom Ross
Beautiful work! I'm in the process of redesigning my personal website and definitely want to try and do an out of the ordinary about page.
Nice collection of About Me pages.
I liked the Dustin Curtis' page.
Thanks for sharing :)
A great mix of styles.
Some talented guys out there :)
Very nice article; a good collection with useful tips.
It's very beautiful!
Çağdaş Ünal
Look at my personal blog's about me page. "Milestones" are a unique idea.
i like Adham Dannaway page. "me talking about myself? "
The screenshots of Lord Likely and Dustin Curtis are swapped.
Nice article and some interesting pages!
An interesting collection.
I liked 'Adham Dannaway' page.
Adham Dannaway

Spuds and system security
June 13th, 2008 by p1, Filed under: Commentary, Corporate Security, Culture
Recently, there has been a great deal of concern over the rise is prices of common staple food grains. A frequently cited cause for this price jump is international speculation in commodity markets, and the disproportionate aspect this can have on the price of the commodities themselves, quite apart from the usual cycles of supply and demand.
What fewer people may know is that the UN declared 2008 as the international year of the potato. (They did this, of course, some time ago, so the contrast in notions becomes even more intriguing.)
There is some irony in that, but it gets better. (Both from the perspective of irony, and from the point of view of useful analogies for infosec.)
The potato (the "humble" potato, as it is frequently described) is suitable to a great many climatic conditions, and is generally more productive than grain crops (and *much* more productive than meats, etc.) It is also surprisingly nutritious.
(Ah! I hear you cry, what about the Potato Famine? Well, in that case the potato was, oddly, a victim of its own success. We know, or should know, the dangers of the monoculture, which was what led to the famine. [And that topic has relevance to infosec as well, but it has been amply discussed elsewhere.] However, what is less well known is that the introduction of the potato, 250 years prior to the famine, led to a 5-8 fold increase in the population of Ireland over those twenty-five decades, due to an increase in both food source and in nutrition.)
So, what about world food crops, commodities, and skyrocketing prices? If we convinced people to grow potatoes, wouldn't we just become dependent upon potatoes, and then there would be speculation in potato futures? Well, oddly, it seems not.
Grain, when harvested, is fairly dry, and can easily be dried even more for storage and shipment. And, to pretty much anyone except a pasta maker, wheat flour is wheat flour. You can make any product you want out of basically any flour you can get.
Potatoes are wet. They get used fresh, for the most part. (The technical advances in producing dried mashed potatoes seems to parallel that or artificial intelligence: there is a lot of interest, and a lot of work, but those who have tried the results can tell you that there is work yet to be done.) Also, people who use and eat potatoes tend to have preferences. (And there are a great many varieties of potatoes. Remember that monoculture bit?)
It seems that potatoes are one of the few staple crops that are resistant to commodity markets (however susceptible it may be to the blight).
So, what's the point for infosec? Remember the lessons of security architecture. Build your architecture based on resilient and resistant technologies, not on the most popular. It's not a new lesson: it rests on the foundation of risk management which should be foundational to all security.

Where Were You When Tim Cook Sold Apple's Soul?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I spent a good chunk of 2011 chiding Research in Motion (RIMM) for its incompetence. During that time, a large number of RIMM bulls became over-the-top angry with me. The harder and faster the stock fell, the more their dislike, bordering on hate in some cases, intensified.
I was never able to figure out why they were mad at me. I did not run their favorite company into the ground. It was not my fault that RIM's stock cratered from the triple digits into the teens. I did not repeatedly botch guidance. I did not go on conference calls to reassure analysts and investors that everything was just fine when it was clear everything was not. I did not stubbornly drag my feet to make management changes and then announce one of the most uninspiring moves in corporate history. Heck, I didn't even fail to bring an NHL franchise to Southern Ontario.
7 Dividend Stocks You Can't Ignore Right Now >>
Yet, RIMM permabulls attacked me as if I was responsible. Unbelievably, they defended the company's former co-CEOs James Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis.I argued that RIMM bulls should have directed all of this anger and energy at the company, not some guy who called the play-by-play of the demise from his posh perch in Southern California. I contended that all Canadians should demand Parliament open an inquiry into how Balsillie and his team handled issues such as guidance. I urged the nation my father was born in -- God's Country, Canada -- to save Potash (POT) from foreign ownership and to request that RIM, the national disgrace, pick up and leave. If anything, RIMM bulls should have been on my side. They should have invited me to Waterloo for all types of protests, ranging from sit-ins to hunger strikes to petition drives. Instead, they misdirected their anger and got in the way of a falling knife.
AAPL Bulls Have Lost ItI would never do something as dumb as compare Apple (AAPL) to RIM. As companies, there's simply no comparison. Similarities do exist, however, between the conduct of RIMM bulls -- some of which, shockingly, continues to this day -- and the behaviors of AAPL bulls.

Former President George W. Bush underwent a heart procedure after doctors discovered a blockage in an artery. Bush spokesman Freddy Ford says a stent was inserted Aug. 6, 2013, at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. (AP Photo/LM Otero, File)
Updated: September 30, 2013 7:40AM
Here are some well wishes for George W. Bush for a quick recovery from his recent heart procedure. I think he was one of our better presidents.
My wife and I took an out-of-town couple to CD&ME in Frankfort for the Charlie Daniels Band. He still puts on a great show. I hope CD&ME invites him back next summer. As usual, CD&ME ran a great program for the guests. It is a nice venue for groups to perform. The only issue was some self-centered fiftysomething people would walk up in order for them to get a better view and stand right in front of us that had a table. What is the matter with people? They cannot look to see what their actions do to someone else?
I am really proud of the way some of the taxpayers in the United States step up to the plate. First, some of them pay their neighbors' mortgages. Now some of them are paying for their neighbors' health care. What a great bunch of people!
In response to the Chicago White Sox fan that asked Chicago Cub fans why they continue to flock to Wrigley Field to watch a lousy team: That's the definition of a fan unlike those fair-weather people on the Chicago's South Side.
Ted from Tinley Park
To the national tenants at Lincoln Mall in Matteson: Don't give up. Yes, the shopping center has fallen on hard times and needs massive improvements, but leaving will just put the mall back even further. I hope you stay and help the mall to thrive again.
To the Oak Forest commenter inspired by a rock song to reject science in favor of mythology: Spend more time in the classroom and less in the church pew. I think your arguments are flawed. You allude to an argument resulting in an infinite regress standing in opposition to your Christo-Islamic mythology. You march out the fallacious "argument from ignorance." It would take too long to explain every error, but know that you have the burden of proof in producing this elusive creator you assume. If you want to discredit evolution, publish your peer-reviewed paper and collect your Nobel Prize.
Orland Park
I know it is wrong what Syria did, but the United States has to keep its nose out if it. Do not send troops. Let the United Nations handle it. We are part of that. It should be enough. Help our citizens first, then the other countries.
Former Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson only cheated on her taxes. I think that kind of offense deserves a slap on the wrist.
Bravo to the Homer Township Public Library for its new Michael C. Olivieri Heroes Quiet Reading Room in Homer Glen. I hope it helps bring comfort to his family and also reminds us all of the sacrifices that those in the military make for the United States.
Maybe someone can help me understand this. My husband got an inheritance from a deceased uncle. That was money that the uncle earned and already paid taxes on. Why is it that we, once again, have to pay taxes on it? Other than lining politicians' pockets, where is this money going to? It just doesn't seem fair that this money gets taxed twice.
I wonder if singer Miley Cyrus believes any publicity is good.
So $15 an hour will take a person out of poverty? One year of pay comes to $31,200, which barely pays my health insurance and property taxes. The American dream is fading. My wife and I are retired and owe nothing yet to live a decent life, it costs us $90,000 a year. I still don't feel stuffing fries into a bag warrants $15 an hour. The problem with this country and others is everybody thinks they deserve the best. Your neighbor has a 60-inch television so you must have one. This doesn't even account for people abusing government handouts.
Willow Springs
Double-dipping is so prevalent in Illinois' state, county, city, township and regional boards and jobs that it is disgusting. How many don't we know about? When they get caught, their appointer always praises the political hack as the best possible candidate. And we keep voting these people in while they laugh at us.
Ken from Crete
I think this whole country of America is as backwards as it gets. We have gangs running the streets, children with absentee fathers, drug abuse and embarrassing TV shows, but pastors and other people are sending robocalls and sending money out to stop gay people from getting married? The sanctity of marriage is already dying, and you're worried about the children? You're sending them to the gallows. What kind of sick, greedy and backwards people are you?
I've just learned that thanks to our lousy U.S. government that in 2014 30 hours a week will be considered full-time work. For hourly employees like me and my husband, that means my company can cut us 10 hours a week and there will be nothing we can do. Just think of the money we and millions of others will lose every week. How many of us will lose our homes and cars? Does our government have a clue as to what they have done to millions of people?

Video: Excitement for new video game consoles, then and now
Remember when hearing about the next big video game consoles sent shivers all through you? Mega64 remembers, too, and really nails the rift today between perceived casual and hardcore games, and a schizophrenic industry that tries to cater to both.
I will say, though, as much as I agree with the points Mega64 makes in the video below, I am excited to hear more about the next generation. Even If only because today's consoles, particularly their internals, feel old.
Check it out below. If you were old enough to be sitting on a couch in 1999 with your friends and reading through a gaming mag, it'll really resonate.

Extra Info on Creating WordPress Themes
Anthony, over at Maddison Designs, happily reminded me this morning that I needed to update my tutorials on creating WordPress themes. He is such a sweetheart - he said he actually learned how to do it himself from a tutorial I wrote eons ago. I caught him in a discussion on Twitter with someone else, talking it over, and I realized exactly how old the tutorials were (the first is now over 6 years old, while the second run is over 3). Yes, I should be updating these things more often, but honestly,... read more »

ALERT: Abilene, Taylor County, Big Country residents urged to get flu shots
Updated On: Dec 20 2013 11:40:12 AM CST
With doctors seeing an increase in flu cases and the threat of flu-like illness classified as "high" in Texas, state and local health officials are urging residents to get flu shots.
According to a city of Abilene news release, "Getting vaccinated is the best way for people to protect themselves and their families from the flu during the holiday season."
Health officials recommend vaccinations for those six months old and older. They urge people to speak with their health care providers about what flu vaccine is appropriate. One option is a nasal spray for people ages 2 to 49 who aren't pregnant. Another option is a high-dose vaccine for those age 65 and older.
Each year, the flu kills about 23,600 Americans, stats from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show. Those most at risk include the elderly, pregnant women and young children. Those with chronic health conditions are also in jeopardy for complications.
Officials are urging people to "cover all coughs and sneezes, wash hands frequently with soap and water or use hand sanitizer, and stay home if sick," the release said.

October marks the 10th anniversary of Vanguard's target retirement funds. What began as the next generation of balanced funds, following Wellington and the LifeStrategy Funds, has grown to represent over $200 billion of shareholder assets.
While increasingly being used as default options in corporate defined contribution plans, many individuals have invested in them as well. It appears as though the funds are owned across the full spectrum of investors, retirees to young accumulators. As of September 30, the Target Retirement 2060 Fund had roughly to $196 million in assets. Are these 20- somethings thinking ahead ? Are well-intentioned parents and grandparents investing on behalf of the younger generation? If so, bravo! In any event, it's clear the concept has broad appeal.
Having been a member of the original team charged with constructing the funds, I remember debating the key issues: Active or passive? A mix of both? What's the "right" glide path, or asset allocation through time? What asset classes should make up the funds? Eventually, we landed on an all indexed approach with four "stages" to the glidepath. It should come as no surprise that the funds are the reflection of Vanguard's investment principles:
- Create clear, appropriate investment goals.
- Develop a suitable asset allocation using broadly diversified funds.
- Minimize cost.
- Maintain perspective and long-term discipline.
We did underestimate one thing, though – the target audience. We originally thought the funds would appeal to the "unengaged" – those investors who, for whatever reason, couldn't or wouldn't take the time to construct their own portfolios . Survey results from a few years later revealed that while there were some target retirement shareholders in this category, 45% indicated that while they were highly confident in their financial situation and highly knowledgeable and personally involved in finances, they felt comfortable delegating the portfolio decision to their target retirement fund selection *. Why? While they recognized the value of broad diversification with a long-term, low cost focus, they had other priorities and interests. I suspect that continues to be the case with many target retirement fund investors today.
*Vanguard Target Retirement Fund Survey, March 2006
- Please remember that all investments involve some risk. Be aware that fluctuations in the financial markets and other factors may cause declines in the value of your account. There is no guarantee that any particular asset allocation or mix of funds will meet your investment objectives or provide you with a given level of income.
- Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
- Mutual funds, like all investments, are subject to risks. Each LifeStrategy Fund invests in four broadly diversified Vanguard funds and is subject to the risks associated with those underlying funds.
- Investments in Target Retirement Funds are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the Fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the Fund would retire and leave the work force. The Fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. An investment in the Target Retirement Fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date.

The 13 Most Fascinating Unsolved Hollywood Murders
A list of unsolved Hollywood homicides and show business crimes, along with the stories, theories and mysteries behind them. Hollywood is a place of glamour (if you take classic movies as documentaries), and it can be a dangerous place if you're famous, partying too hard, becoming insanely depressed, or caught up with the "wrong" crowd.
People in LA with power and money tend to (sometimes appropriately) think that they're above the law, and often act accordingly.
And most times, the rich, famous, and well-known will do anything, even kill, to protect their reputations and careers. There have been many murders in Hollywood, most of which have been solved, but there are some famous Los Angeles crimes that remain complete mysteries, with an intriguing cast of suspects and multiple motives... but no answers. These are the thirteen most fascinating unsolved murders of actors, actresses, and celebrities.

- 9Who was he?
Crane, born in 1928, was an actor known for starring in the popular TV series "Hogan's Heroes" from 1965 to 1971. Crane was a successful actor but his personal life included womanizing and a predilection for sexual indiscretion. He had started recording and photographing his sexual encounters with help from his friend, John Carpenter, a salesman who provided Crane with recording equipment.
The Case
Crane was found murdered on June 29, 1978. He had been beaten to death while sleeping in a Scottsdale, Arizona hotel room. The killer wrapped an electric cord around Crane's neck after he was dead.
Theories for Crane's death included a jealous spouse or boyfriend attacking Crane (which put the suspect list in the 100s) or someone seeking revenge for being recorded without his or her consent. Carpenter was another suspect; besides providing Crane with recording devices, he had also participated in at least one three-way with the actor. People had observed tension between the friends right before the murder.
Where the Case Stands Today
No concrete evidence linked Carpenter to the crime until 1992, when the police found an expert to testify that a photographed spot on Carpenter's rental car was actually brain matter. Carpenter was tried for the crime, but his defense stated that there was no way to be sure what the photograph showed. Carpenter was eventually acquitted and maintained he was innocent until his 1998 death.

Christa HelmWho was she?
Helm was a party girl who wanted to be an actress. She enjoyed meeting, and hooking up with, Hollywood stars and players as she waited for her big break.
The Case
Helm was beaten and stabbed to death on February 12, 1977. The crime happened outside her agent's West Hollywood home.
Helm allegedly kept a sex diary and recordings of her meetings with powerful people in Hollywood; someone may have killed her to keep these materials and their contents secret. The police never found Helm's diary. With the number of lovers, both male and female, that Helm had, jealousy was another possible motive. Or Helm could have simply been the victim of a random crime.
Where the Case Stands Today
The police interviewed Helm's friends and acquaintances but with no physical evidence and no sign of the missing diary, they never had any promising leads.

- 5Who was he?
Reeves was an actor best known for playing Superman in the 1950s TV show.
The Case
Reeves died of a gunshot wound to the head on June 16, 1959. He was in his Benedict Canyon home at the time, as were his fiancée Leonore Lemmon and three other guests.
Although ruled a suicide, the fact that the others in the house waited to call the police and that stray bullet cases were found by the body led some to believe Reeves was a victim of homicide, not suicide. He had been having an affair with Toni Mannix, the wife of an MGM executive. One theory holds that the jilted Toni had Reeves killed, another that the cuckolded husband, Eddie Mannix, used his underworld ties to have Reeves killed.
Where the Case Stands Today
In 1999, a Hollywood publicist, Edward Lozzi, claimed Toni Mannix confessed to killing Reeves. However, no proof was offered or found, so the case remains an official suicide.

- 13Who was he?
Stompanato was involved with the actress Lana Turner, in a relationship that had a history of violence. He was also a gangster who worked as an enforcer for Mickey Cohen.
The Case
Stompanato died of a knife wound on April 4, 1958 at Lana Turner's home.
Turner's daughter, Cheryl Crane, who was 14 years old at the time, confessed to the crime. Crane stated she had picked up a knife to protect her mother during an argument with Stompanato. As there were no fingerprints on the knife, many people believed Turner had stabbed Stompanato, either during a violent confrontation or because she wanted to end the relationship. Crane may have taken the blame for the crime to protect her mother, and because she faced a much lighter penalty as a minor.
Where the Case Stands Today
Crane confessed to the crime, and no evidence appeared that disputed her version of events, so the case went to trial. Crane was found to have committed justifiable homicide to protect herself and her mother.

- 4Who was she?
Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson, was a famous actress, known for her roles in movies such as Some Like It Hot and for her relationships with powerful men of the day, from Arthur Miller to Joe DiMaggio to JFK.
The Case
On August 4, 1962, the 36-year-old Monroe died in her Brentwood home. Her housekeeper and psychiatrist discovered Monroe naked in bed with an empty bottle of sleeping pills nearby.
Before her death, Monroe had been hospitalized for psychiatric problems and was receiving long-term psychiatric care. Her death was ruled a probable suicide. But many believe Monroe was murdered, possibly to make sure she wouldn't talk about her liaisons with both JFK and his brother, Robert. Although Monroe's affair with JFK had been talked about in Hollywood for some time, her birthday serenade of the President in April 1962 made more people aware of the connection.
Where the Case Stands Today
Although rumors and speculation continue, there is no more definitive answer now about Monroe's death than in the 1960s.
Crime Library: Marilyn Monroe

A Living Playground
What do you get when you cross a gecko, a king snake and a chuckwalla? A playground… Huh? Well, it's partially a playground, partially a fun educational experience and a great transition between both. It's found at Gecko Gulch at The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens in a most livable desert town, Palm Desert, Calif. Gecko Gulch features large, colorful creature sculptures manufactured by CemRock, which include the aforementioned desert animals — the gecko, king snake and chuckwalla, plus a … Continue reading
Middle of the Action
Omaha, Neb., is in the midst of sweeping change at its parks and recreation venues, keeping it ahead of the curve and in tune with its community. Like many urban centers across North America, Omaha found itself facing diminishing returns in its downtown area. Most residents didn't go downtown unless they worked there. But the downtown area fronts the Missouri River, and the space there was mostly going to waste with the remnants of a more industrial time. It was … Continue reading
Design-Build: Heaven or Hell
Use the compound modifier "design-build" in the company of those who have used it, and you'll probably get an equal dose of horror and success stories. The design-build construction delivery method is a process that can offer flexibility and cost savings for owners, architects, design consultants, and general contractors. However, like any other project, it can lead to cost overruns, unsatisfactory results and major headaches if not managed properly. A parks and recreation practitioner looking to build a facility should … Continue reading

Family Time Redux
Editor's note: For more information and tips regarding the family fitness concept, refer to Dr. Gibson's article in the October 2005 issue of Parks & Rec Business magazine. The reasons for family to become fit as whole are all around us. We are getting bigger and bigger and doing less and less. We are obsessed with diets and quick fixes at all ages. Insurance and medical costs are skyrocketing for all segments of our society. This sounds pretty grim. However, … Continue reading

August 28, 2008
It is with great pleasure that I would like to announce the following selections for Police Officer of the Year for the following two organizations in our community:
Officer Alan Rogers Elks Lodge
Officer of the Year
Officer Nat Newport VFW Officer of the Year
A number of officers were nominated by peers and supervisors over the course of the last several weeks. On August 27th, staff met as a group and discussed the attributes of a number of officers. As the discussion progressed, the skills, activities, and character of these two officers yielded a unanimous selection as listed above. Please join me in congratulating them on this award.
Officer Rogers [received] his award at a banquet hosted by the Elks Lodge on September 6th at 1800 hours. Officer Newport will receive his award at a time to be specified in the future.
Those who were nominated, but not selected, will be notified by their supervisors in the near future. I would like to commend each of you for your outstanding work that led to your nomination. I also know that every single member of this agency works diligently each day and could likely receive a similar award if we had enough to go around. Thank you all for your professionalism and dedication to the citizens of Show Low.
Again, congratulations to Nat and Alan on t-his achievement!
J. Jeffrey Smythe
Chief of Police

Amazon Ranks #1 Among Online Retailers on Black Friday
Fifty million Americans visited online retail sites on Black Friday, representing an increase of 35 percent versus year ago. Each of the top five retail sites achieved double-digit gains in visitors vs. last year, led by Amazon. Walmart ranked second, followed by Best Buy, Target and Apple.
"Each of the top online retailers generated significantly greater Black Friday activity compared to last year," added Mr. Fulgoni. "Amazon.com once again led the pack, with 50 percent more visitors than any other retailer, while also showing the highest growth rate versus last year. However, it is telling that the top multi-channel retailers also showed strong growth in visitors, demonstrating the importance of the online channel to the retail industry as a whole."
