I want my bedframe to be higher off the floor. I want it to be 14 inches from the floor rather than the 7.5 inches it currently is. I admit I have never done this before, but I have access to the supplies, I just need the names to the type of metal I need and the type of store I can buy it at (or if I can use the metal from another frame, I will do that if you know that is possible). My husband is currently deployed and I want to surprise him. Also, I am beginning to realize that I like to change everything and it typically involves something metal. So I need to start learning. The metal bedframe currently supports a queen size boxsprings and mattress. It only has four supporting posts so the horizontal sections of the bedframe are very strong since they span the distance of a queensize bed and do not sag. I just want to change out the 4 posts. Questions: 1. What type of metal or metal alloy are strong metal bedframes typically made of? 2. Are the posts made of a different metal? These seem to be. The posts seem to be made up of a metal that is thinner and even a different alloy. 3. That being said, it seems that I can weld different type metals together.
So what metal do you think would be good to use? Where do you buy it? One thing, I have noticed the paint (not even sure if it is paint, seems that the color goes through the metal, it is dark brown) on my bedframe does not even scratch off. What paint really sticks to metal since I may have to paint it? Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know the shape of the bed legs. If they are tapered, you'll have to cut them off near the top and get angle iron or square tube the same size and thickness to splice in the amount you want to extend them. If this seems too complicated, cut the old legs off and make new ones of pipe with the same diameter as the width of the rail it will attach to. Try to find rubber chair leg tips to fit pipe before attaching it to rails. Hope this helps, Mike PS: Tell hubby this old vet says thanks a bunch for being there for us. We're really proud of this generation of military personnel. My hat's off to Him!!!!! |
Yes, everything you said makes sense. Thanks, it helps to get ideas about the options I have to do this. My dad is a vet too! Drew |
- Posted by John_in_MA (My Page) on Sun, Mar 13, 05 at 1:29
Ditto on the thanks. I can't come up with a lot to add to this, but it might be easier extending the current legs than attaching new ones. Bed frames are usually odd grades of scrap that is partially hardened when the frames are made. Old railroad track, etc. There's a reason legs are usually rivetted on. Many types aren't easy to work with and won't take welding. Others do. If it's weldable a basic stick welder will do it. |

Stay Fit Even If You Are Pregnant
Although women are very happy to carry their child inside their tummy, it is unavoidable they also feel some kind of insecurity about their physical appearance. There are a large amount of physical changes during pregnancy that makes women feel bad about their appearance and the obvious change is the bodyweight issue. Most pregnant women are likely to gain excess weight which shouldn't be the case because you possibly can stay fit while expecting.
Pregnancy doesn't have becoming a difficult stage for women when it comes to their appearance because you could end up beautiful and stay in shape while pregnant. It is a common notion that expectant mothers are fat and unattractive but attending to yourself to look good has nothing to do with pregnancy. Pregnant or definitely not, women can be stunning.
Here are some suggestions to stay fit while expecting:
Mind your weight. Consult your doctor around the necessary weight you have to gain and monitor your weight. Ask advice on the way to maintain the ideal bodyweight and stay fit during pregnancy. (See This Spanish Blog)You also need to find out that overweight women are vulnerable to having preeclampsia or higher blood pressure. If you're overweight, you also develop the tendency to have supply problems and might wind up delivering through caesarean section. It is better to help keep a healthy weight besides to look good in addition to stay fit while pregnant but additionally to avoid health complications.
Stay active. Even if you are pregnant, it is no excuse to just sit at your home and avoid physical activities. You also need for you to exercise. There are moderate routines and physical fitness activities you're able to do. Your doctor can recommend what basic activities are safe for you plus your baby. You just need to find out your limitations and you realize when to stop. Safe physical activities will allow you to stay fit while expecting. Out of subject, but if you can read spanish, this website has great article about this manner, this website called De Pastillas Para Adelgazar. Go through their articles they have good value their.
Do not overeat. Pregnancy isn't a license to eat whatever you can anytime you would like. It is not reasons to eat more than what can be nurture your unborn kid. Gaining too much weight could give you pregnancy or delivery complications. Eat a healthy diet including fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy solutions and whole grains. Avoid fast foods and processed foods.
You can stay fit while pregnant should you have the discipline and you are going to do the right items. It is your responsibility to manage yourself and stay healthy during pregnancy to suit your needs and your unborn youngster's safety.

Chicago Indian Agency (Illinois)Edit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
United States American Indian Research Indians of Illinois Chicago Indian Agency (Illinois)
The Chicago Agency
Contents |
Indian Tribes Associated With This Agency
Potawatomi, Ottawa, Chippewa, Sac and Fox
The Chicago Agency was established in 1805 and was responsible for the Indians of Illinois and the southern part of what is now Wisconsin. During the years of its operation, the assignment of various tribes shifted quite often, as did the place the agencies reported. From 1821 to 1832, there was a subagency at Peoria which reported to the Chicago Agency for its first year of operation. The tribes assigned to that subagency were reassigned to the Chicago Agency when it was abolished in 1832.
The Chicago Agency was also sometimes called the Illinois Agency. The Chicago Agency was discontinued at the end of 1834 and the Indians under its supervision were removed to areas west of the Mississippi River, but the Chicago agent continued to perform the duties as Superintendent of Emigration, so correspondence was still filed under the Chicago heading until as late as 1847.[1]<
Agents and Appointment Dates
Charles Jouett July 27, 1802; resided at Detroit until 1805. Served until 1811, From 1811 - 1815 there was no agent at Chicago. John Bowyer July 14, 1815, Charles Jouett March 15, 1816, Alexander Wolcott March 27, 1819, Thomas J.V. Owen February 8, 1831; after December 31, 1834 he was Superintendent of Emigration and acting agent., Capt. J. B. F. Russell (acting) September 24, 1835, Gholson Kercheval (acting) July 26, 1836, Col. L. H. Sands (acting) July 14, 1837, Abel C. Pepper (acting) Superintendent of Emigration and acting agent in Indian Assinged additional duties as Superintendent of Emigration and acting agent at Chicago February 26, 1838 [2]

Heart disease is a killer, but you can do plenty to reduce your risk and prolong your life. Research shows that making lifestyle changes can decrease your risk of cardiovascular heart disease.
Adopting heart-healthy habits over the next 12 weeks will start you on the road to better health and a longer life.
Week 1: Commit to getting fit. The American Heart Association (AHA) reports that a significant number of deaths each year result from a lack of regular physical activity. Try to start exercising three times a week. Be sure to check with your doctor first if you haven't been exercising regularly. Build to 150 minutes weekly of moderate activity. The more you can exercise, the greater the benefit to your health.
Week 2: Stop smoking. You can have the most positive impact on your heart health by quitting smoking. It's also one of the hardest changes to make, so sign up for a reputable smoking-cessation program. If you don't smoke, make an effort to avoid secondhand smoke; chronic exposure can increase your risk for heart disease.
Week 3: Reduce your fat intake. Fat is the most concentrated form of energy and calories, so reducing your intake of it helps you lose weight and reduces your risk for heart disease and some forms of cancer.
Week 4: Limit saturated fat. Decreasing the amount of saturated fat in your diet is one of the best ways to lower your cholesterol. Saturated fats are a main contributor to heart disease. These fats usually become solid at room temperature and are found mostly in butter, lard and animal fats.
Week 5: Reduce your cholesterol. This week, try to reduce your daily cholesterol intake to 200 mg. All animal products contain cholesterol, but opt for fish and skinless chicken instead of fatty cuts of red meat. They contain much less cholesterol.
Week 6: Reduce your salt intake. The average American age 2 or older consumes twice the recommended amount of sodium per day. Most sodium comes from salt added during food processing. Salt added at the table and in cooking is only a small proportion of the total sodium that Americans consume. The AHA recommends that all Americans limit their sodium intake to 2,400 mg per day. Removing the saltshaker from your table and eating fewer processed foods can help.
Week 7: Increase your dietary fiber. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains contain dietary fiber. Depending on your recommended daily calories, work up to 3 to 5 ounces per day of whole grains, 2 cups of fruits, and 3 cups of vegetables each day. Increase your fluid intake to avoid constipation. High-fiber foods help keep cholesterol in check.
Week 8: De-stress. Stress increases your risk for heart disease and accelerates its progression. People who are chronically angry or stressed have higher rises in blood pressure than people who aren't. This constant flux can damage the heart. Be aware of stress and find ways to control it.
Week 9: Become a savvy grocery shopper. Most foods include important nutrition information on their labels. Paying attention to these figures will help ensure you eat healthfully.
Week 10: Find a new activity. This week, try a new sport or activity you enjoy. You might enjoy water-walking, circuit training, in-line skating, or slide aerobics.
Week 11: Know what's on the menu. When you eat out, try to eat as well as you do at home. Ask your server how food is prepared. Avoid cream sauces, cheese sauces, and fried foods. Opt for broiled, steamed, or stir-fried dishes.
Week 12: Eat breakfast every day. Everyone needs energy first thing in the morning, yet many people skip breakfast. Plan ahead and have nutritious foods ready to go.

Games Registration
Registering for games is easy. First, you will need to create an athlete profile for yourself. This will be kept in our database, so you will only have to do this one time (although you can change it whenever you like). You will also need to choose a password, so that nobody else can access your information, or register (or unregister) you for games.
Once that's done, you can register for games. Most games will open registration four weeks before the games, but some will vary.
Step 1: Review and update your athlete profile,
or, if you aren't currently in our system,
create a new athlete profile for yourself.
Step 1a: Choose your hometown games
(for athletes who competed in at least three MASA games last year)
Step 2: Register for:
Central Virginia Celtic Festival (Richmond), Open Amateurs October 25 (Saturday), Women & Masters October 26 (Sunday). Pros (10/25) and MASA Men's Championships (10/26) are invitational; contact Alex.
Step 3: Pay $10 registration fee via Paypal:
You will asked to pay via the Paypal button at the end of the registration process. If you do not, you can come back to this page later and pay here. A Paypal account is not necessary; you can use a credit card. We do not charge a registration fee if the festival charges its own fee.
See the 2014 schedule for a list of all MASA games and their registration dates.

I have a funny question,one that doesn't really fit anywhere but here,because it deals with handgun laws.Here in Michigan,any pellet gun is considered a firearm,reguardless of caliber,air source,or velocity,and they take it one step further to require all pellet pistols to be purchased under a pistol purchase permit,and to be registered,which of course means that you cannot conceal carry one without a concealed weapons permit.My question is this:How in the world do you register a gun that has no serial number?I have never tried to buy a pellet pistol and register it,it has to be a fairly new law sice I had a pellet pistol when I was 12 which was 17 years ago,and it was bought without a handgun permit.I think it is the silliest law I ever heard of.You must be 21 to purchase a pellet pistol,and register it and it is not that dangerous,but at age 18,you can buy a high capacity ak-47 here with no registration,it all makes no sense to me.

I don't know anything about Michigan State firearms law, so I can't comment about that. I DO know that the terms "Pellet Pistol" and "Concealed Carry" have no business being used together in the same place, at the same time. Unless perhaps you are participating in some "suicide" forum somewhere.... Not trying to stir the pot here - just say'in.......
As stupid as it sounds,you absolutely have to have a concealed weapon permit to conceal carry a pellet pistol here.Even on the pistol purchase permit,there are check marks for either revolver,semi auto,or pellet.
I think what he's trying to say is why in hell would you even WANT to conceal a pellet pistol? It just don't make sense to conceal a pellet pistol to me. It would be asking for trouble IMO.
I know what you guys are saying,but if someone did get it in their mind to conceal a pellet gun,you would have to have a CCW to do it here.I think pellet pistols should have no business being classified as handguns since the most powerful ones out there acheive maybe 30 ft lbs of energy,and those ones are usually single shot.
I agree they're some damn stupid laws that consider a pellet pistol the same as a real firearm.
I wonder if Michigan requires you to register a Spud-gun. Along the same line, would you need a CCW permit to carry a Spud-gun concealed??
People get the government they deserve.
I'm not sure what a spud-gun is,either I am dumb,or it isn't common.Michigan only classifies PELLET guns are firearms.BB guns,airsoft,paintball etc are not firearms.If it is a bb/pellet gun that can load bbs or pellets,it is still considered a firearm.I can buy 2 almost identical air pistols,both with the same velocity,capacity,air source,but one only loads bbs,and one can load pellets also.I could buy the bb only gun over the counter,but here in Michigan,they put the ones that can load a pellet in the gun case,and you must get a pistol permit to even buy it,then it is registered.

Re: Paid CO!
RobertEG wrote:Once they move the unpaid debt from their receivable assets to unreceivable, bad debt, and take the tax writeoff, they cannot do it again. It's no longer a receivable asset in their books.
IRS kinda frowns on that stuff.
Their "re-reporting," unless they specifically identified the charge off as a new and additional charge off, is simply a repetition of the fact that they took a prior charge off.
Totally proper to provide "updated" reporting that includes an item previously reported.
The FCRA clearly defines one date-certain for the exclusion of any charge off..... 7 years plus 180 days from the date of first delinquency on the OC account that preceded the charge off. The date of reporting of any charge off is irrelevant to its exclusion from a consumer's credit file. All that the reporting of the CO fixes is that the associated DOFD cannot be later than that date.
So i shouldnt worry about this resetting to another 7 yrs??? This account is due to fall off in 06/2014... And since the update, i lost 4 points... Can i actually dispute this thru EQ that they should delete the mark "CO" on July since it was satisfied in june??? And am about to send a letter to the OC since i do find this reporting inaccurate ... Is this a wise decision???

People on a remote island in the Maldives report seeing a large jet, flying low overhead on March 8, according to a local newspaper report.
Residents of a village on a remote island in the Indian Ocean have told a Maldives newspaper that they saw a large commercial jet, flying low, around 6.00am local time March 8, 2014 - the same morning as Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 went missing in south-east Asia.
One witness told the Maldives newspaper, Haveeru, that he and others in his village witnessed a large commercial jetliner he described as a "jumbo jet" that could have been Flight 370.
"I've never seen a jet flying so low over our island before," the witness said.
"We've seen seaplanes, but I'm sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly," the eyewitness said in a Maldives language newspaper in a report posted online.
"It's not just me either, several other residents have reported seeing the exact same thing. Some people got out of their houses to see what was causing the tremendous noise too."
The newspaper went on to say a local politician confirmed the reports from villagers on the island.
The newspaper didn't say if the government of the Maldives had contacted Malaysian investigators about the report.
The Maldives report came just a few hours after a Malaysian newspaper revealed information about the home-made flight simulator used in the home of MH370 Captain Shah.
"Among the software we checked so far is the Male International Airport in Maldives, three airports in India and Sri Lanka, and one belonging to the US military base in Diego Garcia. All have a runway length of 1,000 metres," a source told the Malay Daily newspaper.
Meanwhile, Australia is mounting a huge search for MH370 in the Indian Ocean, with several sorties due to leave Perth on the west coast of Australia on Wednesday.
We will update with new information on this story.

My Never-Ending Search for Comfortable In-Ear Headphones
I'm a headphone junkie. I have headphones in all shapes and sizes, but there's one small problem: I don't like things that dig deep into my ears, which most traditional in-ear headphones do. So I've embarked on a search for more comfortable options...and it's been more complicated than I expected.

AMS 310 • Introduction to American Studies
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
29820 |
TTh |
pai 3.02 |
Ware |
Course Description
Partially fulfills legislative requirement in American History. This course introduces students to the tools, methods, and core concerns of American Studies by examining debates over citizenship, immigration, separatism, and national belonging in U.S. history and culture. How do Americans at large deal with and represent those who immigrated forcibly to the United States? To those who inhabited North America before the arrival of Europeans? To those who claim to be more fully American than others? Though largely a nation of immigrants, questions surrounding what constitutes a citizen have been debated since the country's founding. Though nearly all types and classes of people have contributed to the complexities of American culture, their official standings as U.S. citizens have been challenged. The gray area between informal and certifiable citizenship generates inconsistencies and hypocrisies that can be effectively investigated over time and across ethnic, economic, and political lines.
While the contradiction between cultural contributions and sanctioned citizenship will provide the substance of this class, the cross-disciplinary nature of American Studies will make up its structure. By reading a combination of secondary and primary sources each week, students will become American Studies scholars themselves by actively engaging with texts through written assignments and research projects. These research projects will be based on topics assigned during the first few weeks of the course and developed incrementally during the semester. And while this is a lecture course, classes will integrate small-group discussion and in-class reflections to incorporate students and their reflections into the course. Successful students will leave the class equipped to: 1. Discuss the varied cultural, artistic, and historical expressions relating to citizenship in the United States over time. 2. Employ the interdisciplinary nature of American Studies by critically engaging primary documents and secondary criticism to interpret the American past. 3. Conduct college-level research and writing.

Tim Vickery column: Lionel Messi is a perfect captain for Argentina
Last Wednesday was another landmark in the extraordinary career of Lionel Messi.
A criticism of him - and it seemed a fair one - was that he could only operate at his best in the comfort zone of a ready-made structure. Take that away and he was unable to bend a game to his will in the manner of Diego Maradona.
Things were looking difficult enough on Wednesday when Paris Saint-Germain took the lead in the Champions League quarter-final second leg. With the pace on the break of Ezequiel Lavezzi and Lucas Moura, the imperious Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a point to prove, and the aerial threat of a set-piece goal, the French side looked favourites for a semi-final place.
"During the course of the last World Cup, Maradona was unable to resist an urge to be loyal to Carlos Tevez. He ended up unbalancing his side and harming Messi's role within it"
For all the excellence of Barcelona's collective play, Messi's capacity to take three opponents out of the game was badly missed. But could the half-fit hero haul himself off the bench and rise to the occasion?
The answer, of course, was an emphatic yes. His introduction gave the team a lift and his reduced-space genius quickly carved out the vital goal. Producing something like that under pressure and short of top condition leads to one clear conclusion: Messi has become a leader.
It is a role many thought he was not cut out for - his former international team-mate Roberto Abbondanzieri, for example. Just over four years ago, Argentina's 2006 World Cup goalkeeper doubted Messi could lead a group of players: "He doesn't talk. He's so quiet."
In part, Abbondanzieri's view reflects a generation gap which is visible all over the planet. Gareth Southgate reflected on behavioural changes of England players during his long international career.
Of the 2002 World Cup, he wrote: "It is generally the older players who are to be found sitting round the dinner table relating stories from times gone by and trading the latest gossip from each other's clubs. The younger guys tend to disappear to their rooms."
Abbondanzieri and Southgate grew up in an age where there was nothing virtual about social interaction - it was eyeball to eyeball. Younger players - younger people - are different, taking in their stride the more atomising effects of technological development. Messi, then, is a Maradona of the games console generation: less vocal, more introverted.
Just as the debate about Messi's capacity to lead has a global aspect, it also takes on a specifically South American flavour. Because for Argentina - and perhaps even more so for Brazil - there is a very specific and traditional character profile for the role of captain.
Think of Daniel Passarella of Argentina, or Dunga of Brazil. Neither are particularly tall but both seemed to grow with the responsibility of the armband, becoming larger than life figures, bristling will to win with every stomping stride. Both, especially Passarella, could really play but they were also prepared to be as hard as necessary to get the result. Hard on their opponents and their own team-mates, ready to bawl out anyone falling short of the required standard. Bobby Moore, for example, might not have been captain of Brazil or Argentina. Jack Charlton might have had more of a chance.
This is not hard to explain. Firstly, these are societies with an authoritarian touch, where the loudest voice often wins the dispute. Also, the fabulous production line of footballers means that their best teams have frequently been a collection of wonderfully talented individuals. A sergeant-major figure on the field was seen as necessary to keep everyone working inside the collective structure.
Messi's scoring for Barcelona
- 2012-13: 57 in 46
- 2011-12: 73 in 60
- 2010-11: 50 in 53
- 2009-10: 45 in 52

So Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella broke the mould back in 2011 when he made Messi his captain. The previous owner of the armband, ordained by Maradona himself, was Javier Mascherano, a much more traditional option. Indeed, in the fire and brimstone of his commitment to the cause, Mascherano was so much in awe of the role that he was initially not sure he was worthy, and had to be talked into it by Maradona. When Messi's turn came, he accepted the armband in his usual undemonstrative manner - and his appointment already looks like something of a masterstroke.
Under Sabella, Messi has well and truly buried a previous hoodoo - that he was unable to reproduce his club form for his country. He has scored eight goals in 11 World Cup qualifiers, and another seven in as many friendlies. The team is built around him.
During the course of the last World Cup, Maradona was unable to resist an urge to be loyal to Carlos Tevez. He ended up unbalancing his own side and harming Messi's role within it.
There is no chance of a repetition. He has imposed himself totally on the team's attacking structure. Everything is now set up for Messi as he goes in search of burying the last remaining hoodoo - winning a major title for his country.
It is a responsibility that he seems comfortable with. He appears to have grown into the burden of leading his team, whether it be club or country. It is a role he can fill without shouting himself hoarse. Lionel Messi talks with his feet.
From last week's postbag:
What happened to the Brazilian goalkeeper Marcos? I remember him being brilliant for Brazil in the 2002 World Cup but didn't see much of him after that - Umar Ahmed
There is only one reason that he didn't move to Europe. He was more than good enough but didn't want to go. He could have joined Arsenal, but came to the conclusion that living abroad was not for him.
He was also very attached to Palmeiras. He was a one-club man, sticking with them when they went down to the second division. He retired a couple of years ago, after a career that, especially in the later stages, was frequently interrupted by injuries.
Abel Aguilar has been on the Colombia team for years, and was the captain for the Under-17 and Under-20 sides, but I'm not sure why. What does he bring to the team that Colombia's coaches believe to be so invaluable? I think we have a better midfield option in Fredy Guarin - Jose Luis Hernandez
Aguilar is a good all-rounder, a sound choice alongside the specialist midfield marker (Valencia or Sanchez). He can mark, reads the game well and knits the side together with his passing. Guarin has more talent but is the kind of player who runs more than thinks. I don't really think they're in direct competition.
One of coach Jose Pekerman's best moves since he took over has been to leave Guarin on the bench and bring in Macnelly Torres, who can undress a defence with the subtlety of his passing. Since Torres and James Rodriguez have been firing together, plus the option of Cuadrado down the right, Colombia have finally been getting the best out of Radamel Falcao Garcia.

17th April 2013 - 15:50Even Messi probably is the best footballer playing now, I'd not compare him with other great players. Pele and others delivered in WC whereas Messi choked. He has not proved or delivered nothing in international football either as a player, or as a captain. Has Argentina won WC? No. Will they win? Probably no. They have a good side, but it is not Barcelona.
Comment number 103.
17th April 2013 - 15:16Sabella's plan B i think that is pretty clear "nobody can replace Messi", he will replace him with an extra defender and change the formation to a 5-3-2 or 5-2-1-2 with a more counterattacking kind of play.
CL being better than the WC it's ridiculous, a WC is way more competitive you don't have the best players gathered in 4 teams and 90% of them give their all, CL is full of mercenaries. -
Comment number 102.
17th April 2013 - 15:04I agree with the article, Messi is the best captain for Argentina, not because of his leadership skills but for his capacity to absorb and take up the pressure of carrying on the team. I can totally see Argentina winning the next world cup but the more people start putting us as favourites the harder will be for us to win it. I would prefer to go as a dark horse.
Comment number 101.
16th April 2013 - 19:42Couldn't have written the article better myself. I saw the way that Messi was urging his teamates to settle down after the equaliser by Pedro. I doubted whether Messi could lead without a larger than life personality. Maradona had a massive ego equal only to his talent and you could see how he could dominate a team and drive them to success. However Messi has shown that he can lead in his own way

The first 2 parts were a little boring (probably due to almost all the clips being on badlands)
But I loved the fourth part
Also, dem teamwork airshots
sublime editing as always, plus awesome frags. better than your last, however Ghostwriters remains my favourite TF2 fragmovie ever.
although, "a movie about" made me cringe :( why Cla? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

The combo scenes were top notch but otherwise I found it a bit lackluster. I preferred your old, slightly over-edited, style. Still, I can't say I didn't enjoy that – solid work once again.
i think daddy cried abit reading that right? am i right?

since this is not a dotpixels fragmovie that is quite irrelevant.
But let me rephrase my commentary then, just for you: Great editing by cla, great play by konfy, everything thing else is not worth mentioning.

LOL @ crediting everyone in unR and pixels (including people who didn't appear to be in any of the clips) – and not the guy who was healing them both for 90% of the time.
Seems rather bitter.
Good movie though.

Will Google penalise me for doing this?
They won't be links or anything.
A 1x1 image, whether invisible or not, is a valid design tool...a 1x1 invisible link can never be utilized by a real person and therefore is spam.
using 1x1 images would work in browsers with js disabled and also result in less code = smaller page size.
There's no reason to be penalized for those small gifs if you don't stuff them with keywords or links. Many sites use small gifs for accurate positionning of elements on the page.
I sincerely hope G does not penalise these as i've been using them for ages!
Spacer Blank Keyword Company Name etc.
The reason I ask is that you need "ALT" tags to verify as WC3 HTML4.01
<img src="spacer.gif" height="10" width="10" alt="">
This will validate as HTML 4.01.
Since you are using the images for mouseovers (for which you need JavaScript anyway), the best approach is to preload with JavaScript as well (as soapystar suggested). If the user does not support JS (and therefore won't see the mouseovers!), you'll have wasted no bandwidth by preloading, either.
If you *do* use 1x1 GIFs for formatting purposes, using alt="" is the right thing to do (make sure they are not linked, though, or you may get into trouble with the SE).
However, unless you have to support *really* old browsers, using CSS for layout may be a better (and faster) solution.

HEYWOOD'S undefeated start to the South West Netball League season is finally over after they lost by five goals to Cavendish at the Heywood Recreation Reserve on Saturday.
It marks the end of a dream start for Heywood, who defeated every team on the way to an imposing 7-0 win-loss record after the first round of matches against each one of the league's teams.
Cavendish now joins Heywood with an identical 7-1 win-loss record and the two occupy the first and second on the ladder.
They play each other once more in the regular season and appear destined to meet again in a mouth-watering matchup in the finals.
Cavendish coach Brittany Raymond said the side was under no illusions about the magnitude of the task heading into the clash.
"We knew we were the underdogs and it wasn't going to be easy," she said.

But that may be coming to an end: The lovebirds tell us they've been looking at properties in – drum roll please – Florida. Seems they've been renting a vacation home there since the Survivor: All-Stars finale, and they are excited about how far their million-dollar-plus winnings could go compared to the sky-high prices of the Northeast. "(We) could buy (a house) that's right on the beach," Amber says of Florida. "So that's what we're thinking about doing. We like it down here."

Pell City, Huntsville and Gadsden City are involved in a three–way tie for second place in Class 6A, Region 7. The Panthers of Pell City hold the tie-breaker with Gadsden City after defeating them last week. Pell City head coach David Shores said a win tonight would clinch them a playoff berth.
"We started talking about it on Sunday with the kids," Shores said. "Last week's game against Gadsden didn't do anything as far as us making the playoffs. What it did was give us a better chance of being seeded if we did make the playoffs. This game against Huntsville is a potential lock for a playoff berth. If we win this game, we are a shoo in for the playoffs. By beating Gadsden, if we get in the playoffs, we have a chance to be a higher seed. (If) we finish out the season and potentially win another region game or two, you can end up with a really high seed and potentially host a first round playoff game. That is what winning the Gadsden City game did for us, if we are able to take care of business this week."
Making the postseason will be a huge accomplishment for this young Pell City team. The Panthers haven't made the postseason since 2007. Shores believes his team will stay focused on the task at hand with the adversity they face going up there. The Panthers have to contend with a two-hour drive as well as waiting for the first game between Grissom and Oxford to end before getting a chance to hit the field.
"We are treating it sort of like a playoff game," Shores said. "It is a chance to get into the playoffs and we are treating it like a playoff game. I like the way it is set up. I like that we have to drive up there because it feels like a playoff game. You have to charter the buses, you have to leave early, you have to do this and do that. There is a lot of stuff going on and a lot of hype.
"The Huntsville Times made it the game of the week, so it is a big atmosphere. Our kids are excited about it. To be a young football team, they have acted pretty mature through it all. Hopefully, that will carry over (tonight) too."
The Panthers of Huntsville (4-2,3-1) enter tonight's game looking to clinch a playoff berth. Huntsville defeated Albertville last week, 35-17. Shore feels like Huntsville is similar to Pell City in many ways, but he knows they have a few pieces will present some match up problems.
"They've got some stuff that we don't have," Shores said. "They have size, especially on the offensive line. That presents an issue for us stopping them and their run game. Their tailback has 930 yards rushing through six games. They are doing something right.
"They are running behind the Hill kid who is going to Alabama. The player next to him weights 380-pounds and is 6-foot-4. So they are really colossal figures on the o-line. We are not that big anyway, so we have been working all week on how we are going to slow them down and get to the running back and much less tackle him."
The Panthers defeated Gadsden City, 21-19, last week in a thriller. Shores said he liked the energy that his team played with against the Titans.
"More than anything, the way we played from start to finish with a lot of intensity, emotion and a lot of intensity on the field," Shores said. "A lot times you have ups and downs in games, especially with high school kids. They will make a big play and everybody will get all jacked up. Then, something bad will happen and everything drops down. There is no energy and no emotion. I have heard the really good coaches that I have worked for say you want to keep an even keel throughout the whole game, but the truth of the matter is emotion plays a big part of football. So you want to be high and if you are able to maintain a certain level of a positive attitude and positive energy throughout the game, you have a really good chance. That's what our kids did last week. They never got down; they stayed up the entire time."
Winning the turnover battle and controlling their running game are two things that Pell City will have to do to leave Huntsville with a victory.
"If we are able to secure the ball like we did last week," Shores said, "I think we had one turnover against them and we collected three against Gadsden City. We have to take care of the ball like that offensively. I think we can put up some points if our defense can slow down their run game, be sound in the secondary and not give the play action stuff. I think we do some good things."

i have learned that it not what you have in life , but who you have in your life that matters .
Well this should be fun to read for you. I was raised in Jax FL . I lived with my grandmother growing up . I have six sisters , almost forgot about mom too, that meant I was out number 7 to 1. Needed to say that it was a little interesting growing up with that many girls in that house .just a big kid at heart here who love to have a lot of fun ,and takes nothing to heart.I just moved back from Vegas where I lived for 5 years . One of my sisters had me try this site out . Not really they signed me up without knowing .lol... Being new to Orlando is diff if I say so myself .I figured why not give it a try ,you never know where or when you might meet that one. I was a personal trainer for a few year , Then I started trading stock for a living which i still do,before I found that I was really good at poker. Need i say more when my mother and father didn't approve of me playing, but after them seeing me doing really well for myself and being able to to hold my own .They open up and support me 100% in my decision to play for a living . Have there approval means more to me than any money I could EVER WIN. .,So yes ladies, I'm a professional poker player. Just FYI I have my own money and I don't need a woman to take care of me . I was raised to be the man of the house and provide for his family . This is something I love to do and i'm really good at it . I want tell you a lie on here for someone to wink at me or email me.. . I enjoy doing anything that can make me laugh or excite me at all. One of my dreams is to visit as many countries as i can. The best part of having dreams is having someone to share them with,and being around to see his or her dreams come true.I never wanted to be the kid that always want to do something ,and regretted not doing it..So if you want to take a leap of faith and say hello. I'm all for seeing what happen. .I don't really judge or have a certain type, just be willing to laugh and have a good time, and see if you can keep up. It would nice to find that one who would take a leap of faith and lets try something new I'm always up for adventure . Someone ask me recently what I was looking for ,I said not real sure. Then I thought about it . I guess someone with a big heart, and a great smile, and someone who loves kids . Since's i'm the best kid ever, but a responsible kid I promise, and the rest we will figure out as we go .DREW

New York Comic Con and Anime Festival October 10–13 With geek culture having established an undeniable influence over mainstream entertainment, Comic Con is always a much anticipated event. This annual fan convention at the Javits Center is dedicated to comics, graphic novels, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies and television and will feature writers and illustrators, along with celebrities like Sigourney Weaver and Gillian Anderson. Panels, screenings and the ability to have your comic book signed by your hero will all be on tap. The New York Anime Festival alliance is still in effect, too, so expect to see cosplayers (costumed participants dressed like fictional characters). They'll provide plenty to gawk at, even if you don't hit the fest's many booths, panels and screenings.
