Simply insert the CD and follow the on-screen instructions followed by plugging in the Cam.I must admit, I rarely use the webcam but it looks stylish next to my laptop!A really good feature with this webcam is when you move nearer the camera, it then detects the light and make you brighter or darker depending on the light in the room.
5 GREAT!Shallbrook | 31/10/2007 | See all Shallbrook's reviews (1)This cam has been very useful, I use daily, have had it for 3 months now. This cam is never blurry, is very clear. I am so glad I purchased this. Also with the microphone, everyone can hear me rather well too. I recommend buying this.
5 Excellent camera!Predz14 | 08/06/2008 | See all Predz14's reviews (14)I bought this camera as it was very cheap, and my old one was getting very outdated.This camera is more than i could posssibly have expected, before i even get in to the quality of the picture produced by this miniature marvel, the features it comes with in the software are just brilliant! You can make videos, take pictures, and even put smaller backgrounds onto the picture that you project onto the screen. Such as little fishes swimming around, alien spacecraft flying all over your screen, which made for some hilarious nights on MSN (i know, a night on msn, i have no life!). Back to the quality of the camera, the picture is sharp, and flawless, which adds to the fact that you should buy this camera !At fifteen pounds its a steal !
5 A review - coz it's worth it!niquiD | 29/05/2008 | See all niquiD's reviews (1)A great cam, easy to set up AND works with Vista! Good picture, clear sound, some nifty little extras for example video/still capture, one button press automatically opens Live Messenger and you can add cute graphics to the images whether they be stills or videos. I have recommended this to friends already!

What is freedom?
Freedom is being able to do whatever you want, without gaining any undesirable effects.
Freedom is a simple paradox, something impossible that we constantly seek. Is freedom that is constrained still freedom, or is it imprisonment?
If we live within a world with a free-market, although we could buy and sell whatever we want, those who make, who work for others have no freedom, they are forced to work tirelessly or face death, they are slaves of the rich, as what we would become. Whereas in a communist society, there is forced equality, you do not have the opportunity to rise above others or fall below others, you are stuck inside of a equilibrium. With laws, we can punish those who do wrong, but with laws comes the opportunity for injustice, without justice, there is no injustice. In a world without laws, we do not have the freedom of luxury, to relax inside of laws, as life would be a constant battle to survive, as it is now in lawless countries.
We are irrational creatures, seeking for something which does not and cannot exist. Freedom is overrated, peace, is not. A utopian society would not have laws, as wherever there are laws, there are those who break the laws, whether their actions are just or unjust. A utopian society, is one where life is not a constant battle and where people accept equality from existence. Existence is harsh and brutal, it is fierce and merciless, that doesn't mean society must be the same. Society should be people who work for each other, who work for the needs of others, to preserve peace and life. Although to gain this there must be conflict due to the dialectical nature of society, yet absolute existence is a metaphysical plane which doesn't change, its brutality, its nihilism never ceases to exist, yet we fight for freedom, something which is used as an excuse for murder, for power, for wealth. People do not realize their dependency on society, yet they abuse this and do not try to destroy social hierarchy, they let it pass and claim that they are not in the wrong because they aren't doing anything, yet sometimes doing nothing is in itself abandoning others. We should work for a set of shared values, abandon selfish needs and work to preserve peace and society. Peace cannot be achieved through peaceful methods, for the wealthy, those who have been indoctrinated with a desire for power abuse this and disallow peace, constantly seeking power over others. Through the destruction of power, of wealth, of class, comes a society with peace, a utopian society with equal opportunity for all, you may call this unfair, but I say that this is the true essence of freedom.

At Hartford's Cathedral of Saint Joseph, Boston organ virtuoso Peter Krasinski will improvise an accompaniment to a screening of Cecil B. DeMille's immortal silent film epic "King of Kings" on the Mighty Austin Organ. Return with us to the day when the only soundtrack a film had was the one provided by the theatre organist as the images flickered on the screen in front of him.
"King of Kings" depicts the last few weeks of Jesus' life leading up to the crucifixion. Directed by Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille and starring H.B. Warner as Jesus, the film was originally released in 1927. One of the many unique features of the film is that one of its last sequences (the Resurrection) is filmed in Technicolor. The rest of the film was shot in black and white.

Semblant Geometries: through November 15
Curious to see the completed version of what I've been working on for more than a year? Well, it's up and ready for public consumption:
Semblant Geometries
October 17 through November 15, 2014
Photo & Print Gallery at PNCA's main campus
1241 N.W. Johnson St., Portland, OR 97209
Reception with the artist: Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014, from 6-8 p.m.
Where do math and metaphor meet? In this body of work, which includes a fine press book and etchings, printmaker Heather Lee Birdsong pairs the crisp visual language of planar geometry with folk tales. The application of metaphor (mathematically expressed as x = y) is a powerful associative tool that can unite otherwise unrelated elements.
This project was funded in part by an Individual Artist Project Grant awarded by the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
Here's a sneak preview of some of the work:
Printmaking 101: Applying Rosin for Aquatint (Using a Rosin Box)
Welcome to Printmaking 101 with Smidgeon Press! This demo covers applying rosin to copper plate to create aquatint etchings, using a rosin box. This is Part 1 of 2, of my aquatint tutorial. Safety tips are bolded because they're important!
Aquatint is a way of working with tone, so you don't have to rely only on lines and step-biting to create variations in darkness on your plate (though Rembrandt never used aquatint, and some contemporary artists like DeAnn Prosia don't either). Essentially, we're going to cover a copper plate with teeny-tiny little specks of (in this case) rosin that will act as a stop-out (something that prevents the mordant from etching a particular area of the plate). This will allow an infinitesimal number of little pockets to get bitten (etched) into the plate, creating little "cups" where ink can stick during the printing process. How deep those cups are will determine how light or dark the tone will print, because deeper cups will hold more ink and shallower cups will hold less. With me so far? (This is usually where my new students give me a glazed look accompanied by some vague nods.) This is involved process, so bear with me.
Rosin is a natural substance: purified sap of pine trees. You can buy it as lump rosin, then pulverize it for use in aquatint (using a good old-fashioned mortar and pestle, or a coffee grinder–either way, dedicate them to the purpose; do not share food preparation items with your studio). While it is classified as non-hazardous, powdered rosin is dangerous to breathe in–it's fine if you touch it, but the second it gets moist, it becomes intensely sticky. You can imagine the damage it will do in the moisture-rich, delicate tissues of your lungs, so wear a dust mask and eye protection when working with powdered rosin. Rosin can be cleaned up while dry by thoroughly dusting surfaces. When damp and sticky or melted, you will have to use denatured alcohol. Printmakers interested in non-toxic processes often eschew rosin for these reasons. You can read about methods for making aquatints without rosin here.
A rosin box (sometimes called an aquatint box) is a piece of equipment used to evenly coat entire plates with rosin powder. I prefer using a rosin box because of how smoothly the rosin can be applied (and thus how even the tone in finished prints). I'm using a paddle-driven box, so there is no electricity required–just elbow grease. Fan-dispersed rosin boxes are also popular, but sometimes the fan blades get gummy and stick after a while. If you want to make your own, plans abound online, from super low-fi to ones that require more handiwork. Here is a visual diagram:
As you can see, the box has a flap on the front that opens. This is how you will insert and remove your plate. Inside, there is a rack; this is what your plate will rest on. Below that, there is a paddle system that can be turned by a hand crank. The box I'm using functions on the same principle.
There are other methods of applying rosin to your plate, of course. Francisco de Goya applied powdered rosin by hand. He used variability in the size of rosin particles and areas of application to great effect (see: Los Caprichos). You can find a nice tutorial on that process over at Wretched Etching.
Supplies for this demo:
- well-degreased copper plate
- dust mask
- goggles/eye protection
- disposable, solvent-resistant gloves (like nitrile)
- apron/protective clothing
- denatured alcohol
- shop rags
- aquatint box (with powdered rosin inside)
- backing board, larger than your plate (masonite works well; plastics have too much static)
- extra piece of copper, bent in an "L"
- hot rack/cooling rack with adequate space below
- single-burner propane stove and matches (or reliable hot plate set at 250ºF)
Let's get to it:
- First, make sure your plate is well and thoroughly clean and degreased. Anything on the surface of your plate (including fingerprints and solvent residue) with affect how the rosin melts to your plate.
- Be courteous! If you're in a shared studio, make sure the rosin box is not already in use. If someone else's plate is already in there, turning the crank will make a real mess of their plate. Peek inside if you're not sure. If someone else is planning to use it at the same time and your rosin box is large enough to accommodate multiple plates, you can coordinate the next steps.
- Put on your protective gear: dust mask without question; for extra safety/sensitivities: apron, goggles and gloves. Remember, powdered rosin is dangerous to inhale and potentially harmful for any moist tissue. It is also messy, hard to clean up, and will dry out your skin.
- Make sure the rosin box is tightly closed, then crank the hell out of that handle (nicely). Be sure to turn it in the correct direction; mostare designedto function well in one direction only. If you turn it the wrong way, the fan blades can get stuck, and then you'll have a real mess to deal with.
- Wait around 30-45 seconds. The heaviest (and thus largest) particles will fall in this time. Do the next step while you wait.
- Set your "L" piece of copper down on the backing board, then set your plate on top of the "L". The lip that sticks up will allow you to pick up your plate later. You want to set your plate on backing board, rather than directly on the rosin box's rack, because the powdered rosin will wind up being thinner at the edges of your plate if you don't do this. (There is a great principle of physics in this, but I do not have the math for it. If anyone wants to explain it in the comments, though, I would love that.)
- This is kind of tricky: the goal is to set your plate (and backing) inside carefully while acting quickly. As soon as you open the door, a could of rosin will waft out, and it will keep wafting out as long as that door is open and there is rosin to fall. You want it landing on your plate, not all over the studio! Carefully open the rosin box and pop your plate setup inside, ASAP.
- Leave your plate in for at least 4 minutes, and not more than 10 minutes. Leaving it in longer won't hurt it, of course, but if other people are waiting to use the box, waiting longer is discourteous. You can remove your mask, etc. while you wait, but you will need to put them back on.
- Put your protective gear back on (if you removed them). Carefully open the door a crack andpeek in. If a lot of rosin is still wafting around, close the door and wait a couple more minutes. If the rosin is completely or nearly done falling, look at your plate. If it looks pretty evenly coated, move on. It should have a dense but smooth layer of rosin on it. Thereshould be no obvious clumps and no bits of shiny copper showing through. Troubleshooting:
- If the coating is too heavy (i.e., there are distinctive, irregular clumps of rosin or you can't even see your plate), reach in and knock it all off your plate, then take your plate out. Clean it well with denatured alcohol (3 times), and start over.
- If the coating is too light (i.e., you can see too much copper), carefully remove your plate setup, remembering to close the door, and repeat from step 4. This can happen if you wait too long to insert your plate or if the rosin box is getting low.
- If the coating is just right, carefully remove your plate setup, remembering to close the door. Use the "L" piece to gently pick up your plate and slide a hand under. DO NOT TILT, JOSTLE, or BREATHE ON your plate (this is when that dusk mask is useful for something other than its intended purpose). That rosin powder is very fine, and this is the most delicate part of this operation. It's VERY EASY to screw it all up, so be patient and careful. (Before removing my plate, I will turn off all fans, A/C, and cover any vents that blow air in my path, because I'm a perfectionist.)
- Walk your plate over to the hot/cooling rack (thisshould not be inclose proximity to the rosin box, which is kind a bummer, but necessary). Very carefully place your rosin-covered plate on the rack. Try to avoid "sliding" it, because that movements seemsto be where people tend to mess it up. (Alternatively, you can set your plate on your pre-heated hot plate, but make sure to have a good plan for how you will lower it on to thehotplate, and how you will remove it without burning yourself.)
- Rosin is flammable, and we're about to light a fire. Exercise caution. Remove your gloves (if you're wearing them). Grab the propane stove and matches. Turn the gas on low and light it. Slowly turn the gas up until you just start to see a few orange flames lick up out of the ring of blue flame (the orange flameshould not be consistent).
- Holding the flame 2-4 inches below your plate, carefully and slowly move the flame around so that your plate gets heated evenly. Copper is a great conductor, but it should still take a couple of minutes (or more, depending on the size of your plate). Make sure your movements are steady and consistent; I follow a set pattern as I move around. Make sure you are actually reaching your whole plate, too; beginners often don't move the flame far enough away from or close enough to their bodies,in relation to their plates. Side-to-side is less of an issue.
- While you carefully move the flame around, watch your plate. When the rosin melts, it will flash from whitish-yellow to clear. When it flashes clear, move the flame away and turn off the propane.
- The copper will be hot. Let your plate cool for around 15 minutes, or however long it takes to cool down enough that you won't burn yourself when you touch it. The rosin, once melted to the surface of your plate, won't be nearly as delicate as when it's just powder, but you should still handle your plate carefully.
- You are now ready to etch aquatint (tone) into your plate.
Next up: step-biting an aquatint! I decided to divide the application of rosin and the actual etching of the aquatint into separate tutorials. While they are both steps in the same process, each part contains a lot of detailed steps and information. Please check back for updates. It will likely take me 3-6 weeks to get that new tutorial written. I'm sorry to leave you hanging, but you can send me encouragement via the "Thanks!" button below. Until then, happy printing.

Printmaking 101: How to Make an Etching Plate Carrier
Welcome to Printmaking 101 with Smidgeon Press! This demo will walk you through how to make plate carriers using a few readily available materials. Safety tips are bolded because they're important!
You have prepared and grounded your etching plate. You worked hard to get it ready, so how do you take it home or out into the field to draw without damaging the plate or the waxy ground? You could just wrap it in newsprint or drawing paper and toss it in a bag, but if anything rubs too hard against or pokes the paper, you may wind up with unintended texture on your plate known as foul-biting. Some printmakers prefer the rough randomness of this approach, but not me – I spent time getting that plate to a pretty polish, and I want to maintain control over my final image.
When I took advanced etching and lithography at PNCA, Yoshihiro Kitai showed us a simple way to keep our plates in great shape while carrying them around. Over the years, I've modified somewhat what he initially showed me. For every plate, I make a carrying case specifically cut to fit it, and I label each case with the working title of whatever it holds. This is helpful when I'm shuffling through carriers looking for a specific plate to work on (I've accumulated plenty of these by now, all in process or waiting to be editioned).
Supplies for this demo:
- copper plate
- 3 pieces of scrap mat board, larger than your plate
- 3/4″ artist tape
- ruler
- cutting surface (I suggest investing in a proper cutting board)
- utility or X-Acto knife - be careful when using
- pencil
- optional: burnisher or bone folder
Step-by-step instructions:
- Measure your plate. You will want your mat board piecesto be larger. For small plates (6″ x 9″ or less), you can get away with ~1″ all around (so 8″ x 11″minimum for a 6″ x 9″ plate). For larger plates, I suggest at least 2″.
- Choose a mat to be your center piece and set the other two aside for now. Place your plate in the middle and trace around it with a pencil. Because plates aren't always perfect, I will usually note "top" and "bottom". Set your plate aside.
- Using the X-Acto knife and ruler, cut out the shape of the plate. Make sure you cut on a surface that is safe to cut into, and mind where your fingers are. I err on cutting to the outside of my pencil line. Cutting inside it can result in a hole that istoo snug. Pop out the center piece and set it aside.
- Grab one of the other pieces of mat. Line it up with the one you just cut to see how they will fit together. Trim edges to line up snugly if needed. Make sure you can still see your "top" and "bottom" marks.
- Cut a piece of artist tape is roughly 1/2″ longer than any one side of your mat's outer edge. Lay it down on that edge, so that its lengthis centered to the mat, and a little more than half of its width hangs off the bottom. Carefully and snugly wrap the tape around the two mats, pressing all three sides carefully with your fingers (or burnisher, or bone folder). Repeat for all sides.
- Now you need to seal the inside of the frame too. Otherwise, your plate can slip between the two pieces of mat, which can cause unwanted scratching and gouging. Cut lengths of tape that are narrower than the inside lip of your frame mat, then apply them to each inside edge. I try to avoid letting the tape overlap.
- Now to attach the cover mat! Line up your cover mat with the backed frame you've just made. Wrap a piece of tape around the top edge, just like you did to seal the outside edges of the frame mats. Now it's a functional carrier.
- Optional: Lay the carrier open, and apply a piece of tape over the hinge, to cover the sticky side of the tape that shows between the two mats. I like to do this for mats I know I'll be opening and closing a lot.
- Optional but strongly recommended: Wrap pieces of tape around the three edges, right in the middle. The carrier can come open very easily if stored vertically (as in tossing it into a backpack). I will stick pieces of tape to the front side, to give the tape "straps" somewhere to stick that is still easy to peel open again.
Now you are ready to take your plate with you wherever you go–perhaps for some plein air drawing directly on your plate? If you're new to etching, I highly recommend giving some plein air etching a try. It can be intimidating, but it seems to really encourage students to broaden their mark-making and think differently about composition. Heather McLaughlin and I took our CE etching students on a field trip to the Lan Su Chinese Garden for exactly that purpose. It's one of my favorite places in Portland. It feels magically isolated from the city around it, and the tea house is a real treat. Enjoy!

Art hoarder Gurlitt makes Swiss museum sole heir
Read the full story from the BBC
At least Gurlitt's now-notorious collection will wind up in a museum, whether the Swiss accept it or the Germans declare the will invalid and keep it for themselves. The expense of restoring more than 1,200 poorly-stored works (estimates vary) – in the sense of archival restoration as well as returning an estimated 450 looted pieces – is not a minor consideration.
I always advocate for the frequent and accessible public display of art, particularly when the works in question are generally held to be "great" works by highly lauded artists. (The politics of those designations notwithstanding.) One of the saddest realities of our generation is the sheer quantity of great works that are disappearing into private collections, because skyrocketing auction prices place them firmly beyond the reach of public institutions. So there is a sad edge, too, to returning looted artwork to family heirs. There is little point in wondering whether the original owners would have bequeathed the works to museums or institutions, and no one can contest the right of heirs to reclaim work that was extorted under duress or stolen outright – but I still hope that even those reclaimed pieces will someday grace the walls of public institutions, to be shared with the world at large.
But back to the Gurlitt collection and its extremely questionable provenance: Many museums will display works that are suspected of being ill-gotten until a rightful heir can be located (though their efforts in that area tend to be pretty minimal). I'm sure the Gurlitt collection would be an impressive, though tenebrous, thing to see.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure and expense of attending (for the first time) the Southern Graphics Council International conference. It was all rather quick and full, and I really didn't take many photos. I was blissfully caught up the multitudinous moments, and thus the very best things are documented only in memory.
Rather than write a post about my experiences (though I may yet sit down to do my experience a proper service word-wise), here are the photos I took (with one exception) during my three-day, whirlwind tour of SGCI San Francisco.

Re: week 6: Fed Cup, Grenoble-$25k
I think Mestach is indeed still injured.
Benoit has had some good results lately but let's not forget it has been in rather weak 10k's. Ysaline hasn't really done much but she played in bigger tournaments. So it's a toss-up really. She will only play in case there's a dead rubber anyway.

- The PPP axis looks suspicious. Norways PPP per cap is 55750 according to the OECD data I could find (wikipedia backs this up).
- Luxembourg isn't included in the graph. It would be another outlier/underperformer with such a high GDP per captia.
- I've roughly estimated the regression equation as
predictedOECDscore = 2.135 + GDPPPPperCap2010 * 0.000131
Based on this equation the top and bottom 3 performers are:
(performance = OECDscore - predictedOECD)
1 New Zealand +2.06
2 Canada +1.09
3 Australia +0.85
31Portugal -0.80
32Turkey -1.10
33Norway -1.16
I used OECD GDP data from 2010, tho for several countries they only had 2009. I had to derive the OECDscore from the economist graph as the OECD doesn't seem to publish their final score anywhere. These est's were:Australia8.2,Austria7.2,Belgium6.9,Canada8.2,Chile3.8,Czech Republic6,Denmark7.8,Estonia4.2,Finland7.5,France6.9,Germany7,Greece5.3,Hungary4.7,Iceland7.4,Ireland7.2,Israel6,Italy5.7,Japan6.1,Korea5.4,Mexico3.8,Netherlands7.5,New Zealand8,Norway7.9,Poland5.4,Portugal4.7,Slovak Republic5.1,Slovenia6,Spain5.9,Sweden8.1,Switzerland7.7,Turkey2.9,United Kingdom7.3,United States7.7

Executive Summary:
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer's (IE's) Favorites feature, you might be interested in a mini-app called HotLinks. You can use this miniature HTML Application (HTA) to display all your favorite Internet links in a compact, organized window on your desktop so that you can quickly get to any of your favorite places. HotLinks runs on Windows Vista, Windows XP, and other Windows OSs. You can also easily convert HotLinks to a Vista Sidebar gadget. |
I have to admit, I really like my mini-apps. Their compact size lets me keep several of my favorite applications open and always available—yet out of the way—on my desktop. Although the effect isn't quite the same as what you get with the new Vista Sidebar feature, I can mimic the sidebar effect, even on a Windows XP machine. So, you ask, what exactly is a mini-app?
In the September Scripting Pro VIP article "System Inventory Mini-App" (http://www.scriptingprovip.com/articles/articleid/96668/96668.html), I introduced a miniature HTML Application (HTA), or mini-app, called SysInfo. But don't let the mini-app descriptor mislead you! By no means is SysInfo's functionality diminutive or limited. Users enter a computer name and click a button, and gather an enormous amount of system information about local or remote computers.
The main reason I termed SysInfo a mini-app comes from a physical characteristic: The application window is tiny—only 180 pixels wide and 185 pixels high, a bit smaller than a 2" by 2" square. Furthermore, the mini-app runs on both Vista and pre-Vista OSs, and you can easily convert it to a Vista Sidebar gadget (a Vista mini-program that provides easy access to frequently used tools and information) right away or at a later date. (For information about how to convert SysInfo to a gadget, see "Go Go Gadgets," http://www.scriptingprovip.com/articles/articleid/97019/97019.html.)
So with that background in mind, I'll introduce you to a new mini-app: HotLinks. This mini-app displays all your favorite Internet links in a compact, organized window on your desktop so that you can quickly get to any of your favorite places. HotLinks runs on both Vista and pre-Vista OSs, and like the system inventory mini-app, you can easily convert HotLinks to a Vista Sidebar gadget.
Lots of Links in a Downsized Space
Look at Figure 1 to view a sample screenshot of HotLinks in action. Unvisited links are blue in color, visited links are purple, and the white link indicates that the mouse is hovering over it, an action that also triggers the display of a tooltip description of the link. In addition, notice the scroll bars for scrolling up, down, left, and right through the list.
Rest assured that the majority of the code for HotLinks is VBScript, but to provide some of the features, you need to know a little HTML. If you're not familiar with HTML and think you might like to design your own application with similar features, pick up a book about HTML, or at least find some good online references.
When I started writing mini-apps, I didn't have time to learn much HTML—just enough to get together a plain but decent-looking graphical interface. I'm not ashamed to admit that I always kept a reusable template handy for new HTA scripts and researched new HTML code only as needed. That said, the times, they are a changin' … and the days of simple input boxes are pretty much gone. Users expect graphical apps that are functional, easy to use, and have visual appeal. HTML and HTA are powerful tools that we systems administrators have at our disposal, so let mini-app development provide the reason to add HTML to your arsenal.
HotLinks' HTML Code
Let's start with a few basics about HTML and HTA documents. All HTML and HTA documents follow the general layout that you see in Figure 2. Three key pairs of document tags define the structure: the opening and closing tags, the opening
Listing 1 and Listing 2 present the bulk of the HTML code used in HotLinks. Listing 1 shows the HTML code that precedes the VBScript section, Listing 2 shows the HTML code that follows the script section, and Listing 3 shows the script section itself. In Listing 1, you see the opening and
tags, followed by the code for the page's title and theThe rest of the code in Listing 1 comprises the style section for the application. The topic of styles is quite involved and will come up again and again as you work with HTML and HTAs. I'll drill down into the details about styles in a future article, but for now, let me just say that the style type for HotLinks is defined as an internal cascading style sheet.
At callout A, you see the following line of HTML code
which marks the beginning of the style section and defines the style type. Stepping down one line from the opening style statement, you see the word
followed by several lines of code enclosed within opening and closing brace characters (\{ \}). These lines of code define the characteristics of the content that will be rendered when the application runs. The margins, width and height of the application window, font size and type for the displayed text, scroll bars, and background color are specified in this section.
Immediately following the body style section, at callout B, you see the line
followed by an opening brace, a color specification, and a closing brace. This little section defines the style when the mouse hovers over a link in the displayed list. The "a" stands for anchor, an HTML term that refers to a hyperlink. Defining a style for the anchor enables the effect of changing the color of the hyperlink (in this case, from blue or purple to white) when the mouse hovers over it.
At the end of Listing 1, you see the closing tag, which signals the end of the style section, and the opening tag for the script section. We'll skip the script section for now until we finish discussing the HTML side of the application.
Listing 2 shows the ending of the script and heading sections and the beginning of the body section, which is enclosed by the
and tags. As you can see, there's only one line of HTML code between the body tags

He said that he's probably played his last game for the giants. Maybe they would trade him. What do you think? BB seems to not trust rookie OLBs, as he doesn't draft them and won't play woods for example. I think he would be good. Another is Schobel from the bill-os.
I think osi could play 3-4 OLB He seems athletic enough to do so He's only 28 and I'd like us to take a shot at him However, I think a 4-3 team will offer him more money than the Pats given the question mark about the position switch. I think Schobel is too stiff to play OLB.
I really REALLY dislike that guy. Easily makes my top 5 list for least liked players in the league. That said... if he can help solve our pass rush woes... DO IT.
There's some issues to be considered: 1. He's got a big contract. Signed through 2012, $41M with $15M guaranteed. The last big contract guy we signed to solve our problems at OLB hasn't turned out so well. 2. He's coming off a knee injury, which ended his 2008 season. He hasn't played particularly well this season, especially against the run. It's not clear whether he's still recovering from his injury, but I'd want to get a better sense of that before taking on such a big move. 3. He isn't the easiest personality in the world. He's spoken about his personal life being affected by abandonment issues and "psychological trauma" from his childhood. He's been very outspoken in the past, and he's something of an open malcontent this season. We've had our own overpaid malcontent at OLB, and it hasn't been a particularly pleasant situation. I'm not sure I can see the FO running to find another guy who fits that mold. I'm not sure he's the veteran I would want to bring in to provide leadership and mentor any developmental DE/OLBs (if we ever drafted any). 4. It's not clear that he would be an effective 3-4 OLB. He's terrific speed rusher in the 4-3, but while he's very athletic I'm not sure he has what it takes to set the edge and play the run in our system. I see him more as a better version of Derrick Burgess. 5. Umenyiora has benefitted from playing on a very talented DL, with guys like Michael Strahan, Mathias Kiwanuka and Justin Tuck alongside him at various times. Like Adalius Thomas in Baltimore, some of his success may have been due to the system in which he's played and the talent which he's had around him. 6. It's not clear that the Giants will trade him, or how much they would ask for. Add all those things up, and I don't think it's exactly a clear "yes" to go after this guy. I would hope we would take a very long and hard look before going after this guy, and only if the cost were not prohibitive. All in all, I think it's a long shot at best. I'd rather have Mathias Kiwanuka. Younger, cheaper, taller, better at playing in space. Not as good of an edge rusher, but I don't think that's the most important thing to BB.
With the concerns outlined above in mind, I'd be happy to propose a trade of malconents to the Giants, and send them AD for Osi. The Giants desperately need help at LB, and have a lot of depth on their DL. Regardless of what we feel about Adalius Thomas, he has skills, and he's a much better LB than anyone the Giants currently have. He might do very well playing behind that killer DL of the Giants. Both players might benefit from a change of scene, and the contracts would essentially cancel each other out. I'd much rather have Umenyiora than Burgess as a pass rusher.
He cannot stop the run basically making him a one down player. The Patriots are not going to pay his salary for a one down player. He's not going to be able to set the edge in a 3-4 OLB role any better than he has in a 4-3 DE role, probably worse. I have to say TBC has really surprised me in his evolution this year as he's not just a pass rushing specialist. He's been very good against the run. Jax game he really shined in this capacity. Plus he costs a about 15% of Osi.

A shop nearby is selling a Tuff Country Lift with Add-A-Leaf to the rear. It's a full 3in lift for $400 installed...
I'm not familiar with this brand and after searching around I can't find a whole lot on it either.
Would this be a pretty good deal and give a good look to my current truck in your opinion? If you have any recommendations to another company I would love to hear them.
EDIT: My driving will be ALL highway/city miles. No mudding/offroad unfortunately. :/

Customer Raves & Reviews
Overall Amazing!
Photo Ampersand Save the Date Cards The whole process was amazing. I altered the photo layout and design on the back multiple times and they were happy to make the changes! I didn't like the arrows surrounding the text on the back and was able to chose a pattern from another card to use. The texture is amazing and the picture quality is superb. So excited to send these out soon!
Completely custom
Charming Swirls Save the Date Cards I was able to change all the colors and the text to be just what I wanted. I love them!!! We sent some out today.
Wonderful products and prices!
Timeless Photo Save the Date Cards Loved getting our Save the Dates on Magnet Street! I love that all the different papers are the same price. The quality is terrific and the envelopes are included. Love that you can order a sample of your card and can apply the price credit to your total order so it works out to be free! Would absolutely recommend them!
So happy with my Save the Dates!
Bold Statement Save the Date Cards I was so happy when I found Magnet Street online as I'd bee restlessly searching for Save the Dates that fit my personality (my fiance's too) and our budget. The turn around time from ordering to the day we received our order was even faster than promised - which is HUGE for the holiday season! The product is even better than I expected it to be. We were even sent a look book to give us a better idea of the paper styles, fonts and colors offered - which makes the whole decision making process so much easier. We will DEFINITELY be purchasing our Invitations, RSVP cards and Programs from Magnet Street. You can't beat a great price, an amazing product and EXCELLENT customer service!

- Live it Loud by Hairaisers
- New Facebook Page is Here!
- Dont be Fooled by the Price!
- Our 20th Anniversary
- Supermodel Human Hair Extensions
New and VERY EXCLUSIVE to Andy's!
Achieve catwalk looks with the Hairaisers volumising hair piece.
This pre-styled, ready to wear hair piece has a natural soft touch and is light and easy to attach.
* Wear as a hair piece or ponytail
* Premium quality high-heat fibre
* 22 Inches long, straight
* Performs like real human hair
* Soft and natural to the touch
* 250g volumising hair piece
Our New Facebook Page Is Here!
Due to popular demand we are re launching our Facebook page with even more exclusive offers.
We still continue to be the biggest and best for quality and service. The new site will enable all our customers to preview exclusive new styles and products that are being supplied through the largest brands. Also as before it will give all our friends the opportunity to discuss the world of hair.
The page will feature new discounts to be used in store or via our web site!
Our New Facebook Page is Andy's Hair Hut and is under Places!
Do not be Fooled by the Price!
(Insist on buying 100% Human Hair)
After 20 years in the hair industry we would like to feel that we know what we are talking about. As the city gets exhausted by hair retailers, please be aware that if the hair is being sold cheap then that is exactly what you are going to get cheap! Please do not be fooled by the price.
For your safety from buying it please ask all the right questions:
1. How much does the hair your buying weigh?
The weight of all our hair is clearly visable around our stall for all our customers to see.
2. What is the REAL length of the hair you are buying?
A large percentage of our hair extensions are made over the size stated on the pack. All our staff carry measuring tapes which allows us to show you the real length of the hair.
3. How far does the hair open out on the weft?
Again all of our lengths and widths are clearly marked throughout the stall.
What type of hair is it? Can it be curled tonged and straightened?
Lots of brands now contain the new 180 degree fibre which means you can only put that amount of heat on it. Hence not being 100% human hair! A large amount of our customers come to us because we only sell 100% human hair which means you can put any amount of heat on them such as GHD's which go to 230 degrees.
Are you being told the truth?
Other retailers in the city will do anything for a sale, which is why they do not tell you that the hair contains synthetic fibre. The hair is being sold to you clearly not 100% HUMAN but infact a human hair mix!
(Insist on buying 100% Human Hair)

Storm Event SynopsisSeptember 15th, 2010 |
A couple of thunderstorm complex systems developed over northern Kansas and northern Missouri during the morning hours on September 15th, 2010. These systems tracked south into extreme southeast Kansas and west Central Missouri during the morning and early afternoon hours, producing very heavy rain and flash flooding. This secondary complex of thunderstorms continued into southwest Missouri during the mid to late afternoon hours and interacted with a more unstable air mass and outflow boundary from the first thunderstorm complex. As this occurred, the thunderstorms intensified over eastern portions of Springfield and eastern Greene county. This storm produced significant damage in parts of western Webster county, specifically in the town of Rogersville.
The final wave of thunderstorms developed over south central Kansas as supercells. These supercells developed ahead of a cold front and formed into a line of thunderstorms during the evening. This line of thunderstorms produced wind damage in path from Cherokee county Kansas to Christian county Missouri. An EF-0 tornado developed within this line of thunderstorms in the town of Nixa.

Italian Tennis Program
I Heard that italian program is one of the best in the world. that explains a lot of great players and youngs always coming can someone tell me about it this programs, academies? thanx |
No, it's actually horrible, and many people have been heavily criticizing it and trying to re-create it on the same base as the spanish people.
Many people say italian kids who play tennis well aren't modest enough, feel like VIPs too much and play tennis just for the heck of it, and not with the same passion kids from Spain have. For example when my coach went to Sanchez-Casal for a week (quite some time ago) he noticed that Magui Serna was PICKING UP BALLS FOR KIDS!! When Volandri comes home and goes to train at CT Matchball (Firenze) he's treated like a true VIP |

I give these every year, since I discovered them. a bit pricey but worth gold. I wear them under designer boots as well as tennis shoes. Husband loves them too, and he's pickier than I am.

Can any American--
No, can anyone really say
"God bless America"
without recognizing the irony
in speaking those words
as we live in a nation
that applauds evil
and mistakes lawlessness for freedom?
We live in a nation
where everyone does what is right
in their own eyes,
A nation where we encourage
achieving success at any cost,
where we desire sex
with no boundaries,
where we proclaim spirituality
without God.
Welcome to the temple
of our idol named Pleasure,
and like a whore she enters
our hearts through our pockets.
We stuff our faces with that bread
to fill our bellies instead of our souls,
We drink our fill of wine to get drunk
and forget His bloodshed on the cross.
"America, America, God shed His grace on thee"
So we can look spiritual
as we say 'Amen' every Sunday
and then laugh in Jesus' face
at the movie theatre
as we watch blasphemy on the big screen.
We sing Amazing Grace at funerals
and "how sweet the sound";
that we expect to be
entertained wherever we go,
or else it's not worth our time.
And the only time we remember
and talk about His Holy Name
is when we blurt it out
as a common curse word.
We call her America the Beautiful
as she glamorizes sex, drugs, and anorexia
and lives in her own twisted idea
of happily ever after
yet never truly happy
ever after.
America the Free
yet a slave to Pleasure,
so quick to sell your soul to her
because she's all fun and no honesty.
She'd rather play pretend
than listen to ugly truth,
for her motto is "ignorance is bliss".
Wake up, America
Pull back your blinds
and let the light in
through your windows
of red, white, and blue,
Look and see the gold
of God's promises
far outshine the green
of your wallet,
and remember Christ,
who inspired heroes to take a stand
and to make the place a land of the free
and a home of the brave.
