wow these are amazing thank you so much!
wow these are amazing thank you so much!
I am still working on this guys, I haven't forgotten, still looking for some new material. Any suggestions?
Spartacus maybe?
Bruno Kirby in Flesh and Blood:
@AllMan, I have the DVD for The Italian Stallion and I am aware of the additional scenes of Sylvester but in all honesty, the # of views on the clip I did post were 4th from the lowest views out of ALL the videos. But if there is any interest, I will be happy to pull the DVD back out and work on it. As for Steve-O, I have all of his DVDs too but again, it had a low view count. But again, I will be happy to do it if many are interested in it.
@Sexpun de Come, the actors in Spartacus are basically extras and unknowns. I do have access to the show and have considered it myself but it still runs under radars as actors that are unknown.
Thank you for all you do!! The most well known is Craig Parker, who did Lord of The RIngs, Underworld, etc...his clips were hot when I saw them and a nice surprise

Whats amazing is how this tboy thread dropped off my radar...
well, back on xcreen now...thx guy.
Still taking more suggestions guys...preferably frontal only, I don't want to chase down an ass only clip. LOL Although Michael Vartan's ass is fucking gorgeous.
Love the Dominic West- didn't know about that movie- I'll have 2 look 4 it now- thanks!

Best Car for a Quiet Ride?
Books on tape, iPods, mp3s, SiriusXM, CDs, talk radio. It all sounds better in a quiet cabin (well, maybe not talk radio).
Lexus seems to have the best reputation followed by Buick.
Are those reputations deserved? Which makes and models have the quietest cabins? What's the best ride if you have a long commute and want to tune out the stressful noise of the Interstate?

fezo Posts: 9,515It's interesting that at the moment my Solara convertible is quieter than my wife's Camry. Basically same car same year. A little of that is that Solara is a 6cyl while the Camry is a 4. The biggest part is what explorer's post mentions - tires. Hers needs new ones which may enter into it.
Of course mine has half the miles on it as well... -

hpmctorque Posts: 4,346I don't really understand the technical nuances that you describe regarding your 216, but it's my understanding that the '53 Stovebolt on Powerglide equipped Chevys, and all '54 Stovebolts eliminated the deficiencies you described. Those later engines were supposed to be excellent, would you agree? Also, it's my impression that at least until the Stovebolt eliminated the old babbit bearings, Plymouth's flathead six was the best engine among the "low-priced 3." How do you feel the Chevy, Ford and Plymouth engines of that era compared?
Do you have an opinion regarding Ford's OHV I-6, introduced in '52 model cars? I understand that engine could outperform the optional flathead V8. For '54 Ford replaced the flathead V8 with a new OHV V8. -

oldbearcat WVPosts: 183Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Yes, I think you're correct - the 53 Powerglide engines had a full pressure bottom end, and, are much better. I also owned a 37 Dodge back in the 60's with the flathead 6 - so I'm familiar with that engine as well. It had some design issues too. It only had 3 main bearings, so if you lugged the engine frequently, you'd pound the main bearings out of it. The flathead engine doesn't breathe as well as the OHV Chevy engine, so it makes a bit less HP/cubic inch displacement, and, is less responsive. Valve adjustments were much more difficult on the flatheads as well. The valve covers were on the side of the engine, and, getting the valves adjusted was difficult. The old Dodge flathead was a long stroke design, just like the Chevys of the day, so both make peak torque at low rpm. From the info I've read about the 216 in my Chevy, if the splash lube setup is set up correctly, its longevity is as good as the Dodge Flathead's. I don't know anything about the Ford 6 - have never messed with one.

uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 7,710I know this will be met with derision by those 'experts' who grudgingly admit they've never sat in one yet ridden or driven in one, but I think most would be surprised how quiet my Cobalt is on the highway, with its fifth gear and lack of wind or road noise. Absolutely more silent than either my coworker's Civic or Matrix. And at idle...you would be ocmpelled to try and start it while running. It is that smooth and totally quiet.
I replaced the tires with the same brand on it new, as part of the "XFE" package, and they are quiet.
The engine can be a little "thrashy" as you go up the gears, but not offensively so.
Other than that, our '93 Caprice Classic was probably the quietest car I've owned.
I can remember riding in a new '77 Caprice Classic. There was a complete absence of sound. It was notably quieter than our same-year Impala...mostly engine sound (Impala didn't have a 'hood blanket').
Our Malibu is quiet, but at 23K miles seems like the tires are getting noisy. That's another late-day 'enhancement' I don't seem to remember in older cars, unfortunately. -

Of course the factory set the lube system up correctly. However, the engine in my car is the original, 64 years old, and has been rebuilt by a previous owner. As I mentioned, this engine has dippers on its rod caps that feed oil into the rod bearings at idle. The dippers pick up oil from 6 troughs in the oil pan. Above idle, the oil pressure comes up to 14 psi, and 6 nozzles mounted in the side of the oil pan spray high volume streams on oil at the big end of the rods and into the dippers. To be set up correctly, a set of guages are used to set the clearance between the dippers and the troughs, and, to make sure the nozzles are aimed correctly. When the oil pan is removed for a pan gasket change, etc., then these settings should be checked to make sure the lube system works correctly after re-assembly. I'm assuming that the mechanic that rebuilt my engine got things back together correctly because I've run the car at her comfortable cruising speed of 55 - 60 mph for 100 miles several times without problems, and, had her up to 75 mph for very brief periods.
I read an old road test done by Floyd Climer on a new 49 Chevy with the 216, and, he ran the car flat out for several hours without hurting it.

Many Americans regularly consume caffeine, the most widely used behaviorally active drug in the world. But does caffeine cause more than just a morning boost?
Over the years, caffeine has been singled out as a possible factor in cancer and birth defects, among others. Here is a look at why most experts say that moderate caffeine intake is not a habit worth losing sleep over and advice for poeple who drink too much coffee and want to cut back.
Energy drinks are the latest entry into the beverage market and perhaps the most potent way to get a caffeine fix. The popularity of these carbonated, caffeine-loaded drinks has skyrocketed since they first appeared on the market in 1997. They are particularly popular among the younger generation, including teenagers. Does the entry of another caffeine-containing concoction into the marketplace prove yet again that we are a nation of addicts?
In a manner of speaking, yes. The majority of Americans regularly consume caffeine, a drug that acts as a central nervous system stimulant. It increases heart rate, boosts urine production, and raises the metabolic rate. The metabolic rate is the speed at which the body burns calories to fuel necessary functions like breathing. Anyone who cannot get going in the morning without a cup of coffee, tea, or a caffeine-containing soft drink knows all too well that caffeine can be habit-forming.
While most experts say addiction is too strong a word to be used with caffeine, researchers have identified a condition they call caffeine dependence syndrome. It is characterized by the following:
The idea of being dependent on caffeine can be unsettling. However, most healthy people who drink a cup or two of coffee, tea, or soda every day suffer no more serious physical symptoms than jitteriness, irritability, and minor gastrointestinal upsets. Why, then, have scientists long suspected that caffeine might contribute to heart disease, cancer, birth defects, and other problems?
The snag here is that much of the early research linking caffeine to various conditions was clouded by a number of issues. When questioning people about their caffeine-consuming habits, for example, many researchers failed to ask about caffeine sources other than coffee or tea, such as soft drinks, chocolate, and certain medicines (see chart).
In addition, most early studies did not account for differences in methods of preparing coffee. For example, some research has suggested that coffee drinking raises blood cholesterol levels. Yet most of that evidence comes from Scandinavia, where coffee is boiled rather than brewed.
Another confounding issue is that even though caffeine and coffee drinking may not contribute to disease alone, they may go hand-in-hand with a lifestyle that does. One study, found that coffee drinkers were more likely to smoke, drink alcohol, and eat high-fat diets than those who do not drink coffee. So maybe it's not the coffee, but rather the cream or cigarette with the coffee that contributes to health problems.
Recent studies have failed to link consumption of caffeine to heart disease or death. In fact, many observational studies have suggested that caffeine consumption may actually lower the risk of cardiovascular events and death.
Some people would clearly do well to limit their caffeine consumption or avoid it altogether. For example, people with dyspepsia or heartburn should stay away from caffeine. It stimulates the secretion of acid, which can irritate the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
Pregnant women should watch the amount of caffeine they consume as well. While moderate amounts (a cup or two of coffee a day) have not been proven to cause birth defects, caffeine does cross the placenta. After caffeine enters the fetal bloodstream, large amounts can alter the unborn baby's normal heart rate and breathing.
Some research also suggests that large amounts of caffeine may decrease blood flow to the placenta, which may raise the risk of miscarriage. However, other research has not found a link between coffee consumption and pregnancy problems.
Women who breastfeed their babies should also avoid the substance. Although caffeine may make a new mother more alert, the caffeine passed to her child through breast milk may mean more time comforting a fussy child.
People with chronic headaches are strongly advised to limit all caffeinated products. While small amounts can help reduce a headache, regular use can cause headaches or make them worse.
Given the alert feeling that caffeine provides, those with anxiety or panic disorders should also avoid caffeine or limit its use. Caffeine has the ability to increase their anxiety and make symptoms worse.
Even if you only drink a cup or two of coffee, tea, or soda each day, try to cut back on caffeine gradually. Moderate caffeine users who stop cold turkey can suffer from withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, moodiness, and nausea. Instead of switching over completely to decaffeinated coffee, substitute decaf for half your regular blend for a couple days and gradually wean yourself. Or, alternate decaf sodas with the regular version throughout the day until you feel comfortable weaning yourself from the caffeinated version completely.
Smokers need more caffeine to get a kick than their nonsmoking counterparts because smoking causes caffeine to be metabolized more quickly. This is one reason so many smokers get caught up in the coffee-and-cigarette habit. When a smoker kicks the cigarette habit, however, caffeine lingers in the bloodstream longer. This can add to the jitteriness and irritability that goes with giving up nicotine. Smokers who quit cigarettes may want to cut back on caffeine at the same time.

Many manufacturers add caffeine to pain killers because it helps the drugs ease muscular aches and other discomforts more effectively. Some research also suggests that caffeine acts independently to relieve pain. The caffeine content of products may change, so contact the manufacturer for information on products you use frequently.

What Others Are Saying
The Institute is proud to be recognized as a leader in international graduate education by a variety of external organizations, from the United Nations to Foreign Policy magazine.
Here are just a few examples of what others are saying about the Institute and our programs:
While covering a discussion hosted by the Center for Conflict Studies at MIIS, Monterey County Weekly reporter Sara Rubin praised the "assertive and articulate" students who participated in the "impressive discussion" at the event, titled "Police Legitimacy in Communities of Color."
The Institute's unique Fisher MBA program is consistently highly ranked in Net Impact's annual Business as UNusual guide, "the social & environmental impact guide to graduate programs," which surveys more than 3,000 students across nearly 100 campuses to gain their perspectives on trends and programs. This year, the Fisher MBA at MIIS was ranked in a tie for 23rd among the top 50 social impact programs, and in a tie for 27th among the top 50 environmental sustainability programs.
Regarding the work done by a team of the Institute students on a high-profile project assessment for the city, Monterey Mayor Chuck Della Sala wrote: "We have worked with a number of consultants over the years on a wide array of topics. The work your team provided rivaled, if not excelled, those professional consultants." Mayor Della Sala's letter of commendation praised Masters of Business Administration students Whitney Hales (MBA/MAIEP '14), Mary Vargo (MBA '14), Charles Ruegger (MBA '14), Alexander Dennis (MBA/MAIEP '14), and Henry Scotson Webbe (MBA '14) for their work evaluating the proposed purchase by the city of the Golden State Theatre in downtown Monterey.
- A trio of students in the Institute's Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MATESOL) program earned raves from the International Student & Scholars Office at the University of California, San Francisco for their work developing a proposed curriculum and lesson plans for English as a Second Language (ESL) students at UCSF. "This far exceeds my expectations and also is an extraordinary tool for outreach on our ESL needs," said Director Brian Groves of the work done by MIIS students Daurie Mangan-Dimuzio, Anita Krishnan, and Matt Loehrer.
- Institute students placed individually in first, third and fifth place in the May 2014 Televic Simultaneous Interpreting Competition in Newcastle, England. Suwen Feng (MATI '14) placed first in the competition, Yanbo Wang (MATI '14) third and their classmate Jennifer Zhang (MATI '14) also made it to the final round to ultimately place fifth. The MIIS team mentored by Professor Wallace Chen brought home first prize for the second year in a row.
- Professor Jeffrey Langholz and student Maeve Murphy of the Institute won the Innovator the Year Award—and $50,000 in seed capital—at the Monterey Bay Startup Challenge competition on May 3, 2014. Their idea, called Water City, helps make water conservation easy and profitable for the public. Freshwater issues are a passion for Maeve, who says "This is why I came to MIIS."
- In April 2014, the Aspen Institute awarded MBA students Mary Vargo (MBA '14), Danielle Razo (MBA '14), Morgan Rogge (MBA/MAIEP '15) and Jamie Shirreff (MBA/MAIEP '14) a top-10 Honorable Mention finish in its 2014 Business & Society International MBA Case Competition. The MIIS team won honorable mention alongside teams from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, University of Massachusetts Amherst's Isenberg School of Management, and the London Business School at the University of London.
- Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words: media photos captured Prof. Laura Burian of the Institute's world-renowned Translation & Interpretation program interpreting for First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama during her March 2014 trip to China.
- A team of Institute students made their mark at the Hult Prize regional competition in San Francisco in March 2014, beating hundreds of competitors to win a place in the regional competition, then being selected as one of four teams (out of 47) to advance to the final round of regionals. "It was an energizing experience for us. MIIS coursework and programs like the Frontier Market Scouts (FMS) and the Design, Partnering, Management and Innovation (DPMI) program opened our minds and pushed our thinking to the level required to tackle today's most complex problems," said Amy Ross (MPA '14). The Hult Prize competition is a collaboration with the Clinton Global Initiative.
- The Clinton Global Initiative selected Institute student Wesley Laine (MAIPS '14) to present his sustainable clean water project in Haiti as a positive example of aid that works. Wesley was a featured presenter at the organization's star-studded annual meeting in October 2013. In March 2014, Wesley learned he would receive $10,000 in funding for his Cholera prevention project in Haiti through the prestigious Kathryn Davis Foundation Projects for Peace fellowship. "I am really grateful to MIIS and the Kathryn Davis Foundation for believing in my project -- Cholera Prevention: Service, Solidarity, and Peace," says Wesley.
- Chung-kuan (John) Chen (MACI '14) won first prize at the 2013 Televic Chinese-English Simultaneous Interpreting Competition held at Newcastle University in England in September. The competition, the first of its kind, featured a series of keynote speeches in a simulated conference with English and Mandarin Chinese as the working languages. A total of 21 contestants from nine Translation & Interpretation programs in the U.K., Taiwan, and the U.S. participated in the competition.
- Institute alumnus Aaron Stein (MAIPS '10) was named one of the "2013 Top 99 Foreign Policy Leaders Under 33" by Diplomatic Courier magazine and Young Professionals in Foreign Policy. Stein is a research associate at the Center for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies in Istanbul, where he works on security and proliferation issues in the Middle East. The list appeared in the September/October 2013 issue of Diplomatic Courier.
- In April 2013, Professor Jim Williams gave a talk on his energy and climate change research to a United Nations group chaired by Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Dr. Sachs called Professor Williams' recent paper in Science ("The Technology Path to Deep Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions by 2050") "the best single study" on the subject of the long-term transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy, and urged that similar studies be conducted for "every country on the planet in the next two years."
- The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance awarded MIIS student Lovely Umayam (MANPTS '13) the first prize of $5,000 in its Innovation in Arms Control Challenge on March 4, 2013. Members of the public were invited to submit innovative approaches to using commonly available technologies to support arms control policy efforts; Lovely, a student in the Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies program, developed "Bombshelltoe" (www.bombshelltoe.com), an online education platform that examines the intersection of popular culture and nuclear issues.
- The Institute's unique Frontier Market Scouts® program won the Ashoka U - Cordes Innovation Award, given to innovative university programs focused on promoting social entrepreneurship. The award, one of six given by Ashoka U after a review of 130 nominations, was presented before 650 attendees of the annual Ashoka U Exchange conference at the University of San Diego on February 23, 2013. In partnership with the Cordes Foundation, Ashoka U recognizes globally relevant teaching, learning, and partnership practices, focusing on practices that may be adapted and replicated. The Frontier Market Scouts program was also a finalist in the MBA Roundtable's 2012 Innovator Awards.
- In a January 18, 2013 speech to the Institute's students, faculty, staff and invited guests, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted the role played by the Institute and its James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in promoting nonproliferation education: "The world needs you skills and commitment, especially in advancing disarmament and nonproliferation," he said, encouraging the students in the room to take up what he called "great causes." Underscoring the significance of nonproliferation education, Ban specifically cited the Institute's "innovative teaching methods," which rely heavily on simulations and role-playing.
- Following the June 18, 2012 meeting between President Obama and President Putin of Russia at the G-20 Summit in Mexico, the State Department issued a news release touting examples of U.S.-Russian cooperation, including a youth science program developed and implemented by the Institute's James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS). The fact sheets accompanying the joint statement by Presidents Obama and Putin cite the U.S.-Russia Virtual Science Challenge for Youth as an example of U.S.-Russian Cooperation on People to People Contacts.
- The Spring 2012 issue of The Carnegie Reporter, a publication of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, features several students of the Institute's Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies program in its spring publication. The article is titled "Next Gen Nonproliferation" and says that of the next generation of nonproliferation specialists, "many of the most promising and best prepared are students at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), part of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies."
- In October 27, 2011 remarks at Stanford University, Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance Rose Gottemoeller explained how Institute student Tamara Patton (MANPTS'12) had taken open-source satellite images of Pakistan's Khushab Plutonium Production Complex and used freely available Google software tools and basic trigonometry to construct a three-dimensional model of the facility. Secretary Gottemoeller's mention of Patton's ground-breaking work was chronicled in a front-page story in the December 6, 2011 edition of the Monterey County Herald titled "MIIS student transforms nuclear intelligence."
- A $500,000 gift from the Milliken Foundation to support the Institute's recruiting efforts made in November 2011 was accompanied by these comments from a foundation trustee: "I believe that graduate-level international education is vital to the future of this country and am pleased to be able to support the Institute's continuing efforts to attract top students to its remarkable programs."
- At its October 2011 annual conference, the American Translators Association (ATA) awarded its highest honor to Professor Holly Mikkelson of the Institute. The Alexander Gode Medal, the ATA's most prestigious award, was presented to Professor Mikkelson at the annual meeting of membership with approximately 1,000 translation and interpretation professionals in attendance.
- The Fisher International MBA Program was again recognized by the Aspen Institute as one of the world's Top 100 MBA programs integrating social and environmental stewardship, coming in at number 33 in the 2011-2012 edition of the Aspen Institute's biennial Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey. Since 2003, the Fisher program has consistently been ranked by the Aspen Institute as one of the world's leading socially responsible MBA programs.
- Professor Jan Knippers Black of the Institute was elected to the Amnesty International USA Board of Directors in July 2011.
- In October 2010, The Austrian Foreign Ministry selected the Institute's James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) as its partner in the establishment of the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Nonproliferation. In a public announcement, the Austrian government said that it selected CNS from a large number of candidates to manage and operate the new center "because of its distinguished record of leadership in the field and its shared vision" for the new center.
- In August 2010, Net Impact published its annual Business UNusual, a guide for prospective MBA students who want to get the "inside scoop" on various graduate schools. It is a combination of a qualitative description from Net Impact student leaders and results from an online student survey. The words Fisher International MBA students at the Institute most often used to describe their program were "enterprising," "innovative" and "active."
- A feature story on Radio Free Europe in March, 2010 about the unique and exciting careers of high level interpretation professionals mentioned that a good number of UN interpreters and translators have graduated from the "highly respected Middlebury Institute of International Studies."
- The Fisher International MBA program, winner of a top 15 ranking from Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review for four straight years, was also recognized in 2010 in The Princeton Review's 2nd annual "Student Opinion Honors for Business Schools" as one of the top 15 graduate schools of business in the category of Global Management.
In December 2009, the Institute received numerous congratulatory messages in recognition of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Institute's James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies. Quotes from two of the letters follow:
"In just two decades, the Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies has acquired a global reputation for training the next generation of nonproliferation specialists… The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has benefited from the expertise of CNS graduates who have served as interns, and several of its former staff and students are now serving in professional staff positions at the IAEA." -- International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei
"Each new generation of scholars and policymakers must determine how best to stop the spread of nuclear weapons and seek the goal of a world without them. Organizations like CNS that are dedicated to training nonproliferation specialists will be vital in achieving this goal and preparing these individuals to lead in the effort." – U.S. President Barack Obama
- In November 2009, the United Nations recognized the Institute as one of the world's leading trainers of professional translators and interpreters, signing an agreement to expand internship and employment opportunities for current and future Institute students and graduates. The Institute is one of nine partner institutions worldwide chosen by the U.N, and the only one in North or South America.
- ALTA Language Services, a major employer of translation and interpretation professionals in the United States, named the Institute's translation and interpretation program as one of the top five graduate programs in the nation, citing its "close-knit, globally focused community" and praising the Institute's emphasis on language and cultural proficiency in addition to translation skills.
- In 2007, the magazine Foreign Policy named the Institute one of the top 20 graduate schools in the nation for international relations.

I was so excited when I found this ornament for large families! I had searched and almost given up hope, but this turned out perfect! They fit 27 people on without it looking crowded. Every detail was perfect and my mom has decided it is too nice not to display year round.

Nice leggings
I bought 3 pairs of these. I love the fit. I got the tall size as I am 5'9". The fit is very snug yet comfortable and shows all your curves. The waist is high with plenty of stretch. I am 160 lbs. and the MT size fits nicely. They are slim through the hips and thigh. Great for doing yoga or other workouts.

The one you've been waiting for
they're heavier than tights, not itchy, feels like they're holding me in all around equally. The exact fiber content is: 57% cotton, 38% rayon, 5% spandex. For where I live, this would NOT be for really hot days, I don't think. For that I go to all rayon.I've come back to buy more for when these wear out; how about more colors? I could do with a stone-washed denim color or a heather gray.

I have started an angel ornament collection for my daughter. This was a great way to make it official and will be a unique angel ornament in her collection.

The Christmas ornament was beautiful and the wording was perfect. My daughter had her first child and this was a gift to her and her husband, they loved it.

Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

Next question...when we get downloads, either freebies or purchased, do we need both psd and png files? I guess I don't know what each one does. I want to free up some space on my hard drive if I don't need both.
Some people don't use photoshop and others have versions that don't read png's very well. With psd files you get all the layers in tact. PNG's are flattened but have the ability to show transparency.
So it's up to you which ones you think you'll need. ;)
If you look at a psd side by side with a png...they look the same don't they? My understanding is that a png is good if you want to add a photo to a hole in the layout & psd is if you want to change the layers of the layout?
.png's have open spaces that you dont want "white" or filled in -- like quick pages, alpha's, ribbons, lots of different types of elements. Mostly, papers will be .jpg's
The .psd files allow you much more versalitily and will have the layers and shapes to move.
People whose software doesn't support the .psd files will use the .pngs and drag those shapes to their documents.
as far as keeping both, that is a personal choice. I tend to keep the .psd files for templates, but if some of the .png shapes are things that I will use often, like a flourish or swirl or frame, I might also keep the .png files.
I also keep all my .psd files for my layouts. Every few months I will burn the .psd's to disc and free up space. I keep the .jpg file, so that I can find it and figure out which DVD that .psd is on, should I need it.

If it's true there should be public statement - it would be positive moment for an image the company.
Yeah but you will always have those naysayers and purists who will cry foul and somehow claim that the quality isn't as good as it used to be.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss for some people.
Sixto, the stuff that changed is LIVE right now correct? Nice work parsing that data.
