Because big, weaselly companies don't like to play fair with poor people, I did not in fact get one.
First, a little backstory. A couple of months ago, on the day I was leaving for a conference in Utah, my silly little purple Blackberry died dramatically, complete with heat and a delightful burning smell. I immediately took it to my local Sprint store and was met at the counter by a young man whom we will call Sprint Weasel Prime, since it is with him and his actions that our story really begins and ends.
This Blackberry was never a good one. I purchased it in a pinch after the failure of my previous phone, and its only real selling points were that it was cheap, and it was purple. And over the course of a year of use, it really only excelled at being purple. Still, its death was dramatic, taking out both the battery inside and a second battery installed by Weasel Prime. It was frankly the only impressive thing it had ever really done. Well-played, crappy purple Blackberry. Well-played.
Weasel Prime went in the back and checked inventory or played Angry Birds or whatever they do back there, and after a few minutes, he came back and informed me that the purple Blackberry could be neither repaired nor replaced. The only solution was a new phone, but WOO!, there was a different Blackberry that I could get for free, using my upgrade, which had been sitting unused for a couple of years. Given that my choices were apparently to do this or carry a broken, occasionally smoke-emitting purple phone, I went with this option, the only one I was presented with. Our transaction complete, I bade farewell to Sprint Weasel Prime and went phonefully on my way.
Fast-forward to last Friday, when I went online to pre-order the brand new iPhone, available for the first time from Sprint. According to the Apple site, it would cost me about two hundred bucks.
Except no. Apple redirected me to the Sprint site, where I was informed that the new iPhone would actually cost me a cool six hundred and fifty real, non-boardgame American dollars.
You know why, and I should have as well. It was because Weasel Prime used my upgrade to replace my crappy purple Blackberry with a slightly less crappy one. (To be fair, as an excited Weasel Prime had pointed out, it IS a flip phone, which I suppose is good if you frequently butt-dial or like to pretend you're Captain Kirk.) As a result, my only options for getting an iPhone were to sell a kidney on eBay or wait until June.
The customer service representative I spoke to on the phone was incredibly nice and understanding; let's call her Huggy Weasel. She admitted that Weasel Prime was completely wrong to say that using my upgrade was my only option. Under my service agreement (for which I'm sure I pay a little something something every month), I was entitled to a replacement phone, either refurbished or a close equivalent model, albeit probably not purple, alas. She went further, too, admitting that the company was 100% aware that many of their sales associates in their stores were doing the exact same thing, mostly to get existing customers out the door and free up some face time for new, revenue-generating customers. Sadly, she concluded, there was nothing she could do for me. I would have to go back to the store and get them to make it better somehow.
"If I were you, I'd go punch someone in the face," she suggested.
I went to the store, although I was admittedly hoping that some non-punching options might present themselves. Once I started talking to the guy we'll call Mule Weasel, I began to understand why Huggy Weasel recommended fisticuffs.
Mule Weasel did not budge. He did not even admit that using the upgrade the way it had been used was wrong. He presented an immovable wall formed in equal measure of bricks made of "I dont know" and "We can't do anything for you here". If there was one emotion visible on his face, it might be deep regret that my name wasn't Robert Go-Fuck-Yourself, because that was clearly what he wanted to say to me.
My favorite moment? When the original Weasel Prime lumbered over, listened to our conversation and said, with a little touch of hurt in his voice, "When I used that upgrade, you actually thanked me!"
"Well, if I'd known you were screwing me, do you think I would have thanked you?" I left shortly after that.
My final conversation with Sprint took place as soon as I got home. I called and spoke to a number of representatives. They probably don't warrant names here because the only thing they really did was escalate me up the chain. They didn't do so quickly; by the time I made it to the third rep, I felt like I was crawling up the side of Mount Doom, on a quest to throw my fancy flippy Captain Kirk Blackberry into the fires from whence it was forged.
The last time I was put on hold, it was for, and I kid you not, FORTY MINUTES. I think any time you're on hold for longer than five or ten minutes, you start wondering if the customer service representative is just hoping you'll lose hope and go away. So yeah. Forty minutes.
Finally, I found myself speaking to the Final Arbiter of Customer Service Issues Weasel. The Final Arbiter Weasel repeated my story back to me (with a few passive-aggressive "You claim"s thrown in) and then presented my options. They were as follows, in no particular order: I could 1) cheerfully pay $650 dollars for an iPhone, 2) cheerfully wait until June and use my miraculously regenerated upgrade to get an iPhone, or 3) break my contract and cheerfully pay the steep financial penalties for doing so. He also made it clear that I had three further options, which could be best expressed by replacing the word "cheerfully" with "grudgingly" in the first three options.
One thing I've learned over the years is that when you're on the phone with a customer service representative, you have one little piece of power, just one: they are almost never allowed to terminate a conversation until you agree to do so. They can put you on hold for forty minutes, they can present an implacable wall of NO, they can be condescending, and I suppose they could just sit there making little fart noises while you talk. But unless you swear at them, you can almost always say whatever you want for as long as you want and waste as much of their time as you feel like wasting. That's a free tip, kids. You just learned something!
To finally get me off the phone, the Final Arbiter Weasel offered to email the district manager for Weasel Prime's store and let him address it however he saw fit. And here's where my favorite conversation in this whole story took place.
Me: Can you copy me on that email so I can follow along?
Final Arbiter Weasel: No, I can't do that.
Me: Huh? You can't copy me on that email? Really? Why not?
Final Arbiter Weasel: Because... the email's going to contain proprietary Sprint information.
Me: What? Your email about my case is going to contain secret information? What could that possibly be?
Final Arbiter Weasel: Um, it's the how the email is formatted that's proprietary.
So there you go. Aside from this call that I'm never ever ever going to receive from the District Manager Weasel, I think that's about where things stand now and forever. I can either go away quietly, or not go away not quietly, but it's pretty clear that despite the admission of Sprint's own representative that the original action taken by Weasel Prime was inappropriate and unfair, the official stance of Sprint is "Tough titties, customer."
Now let me be very clear. I understand completely that this is a very First World problem. I know that families face big problems every day that are much more important than this. But you know what? We're one of those families. Just because ninety-five percent of my blog posts are about Schuyler and our neverending quest to help her live a meaningful life in the face of real tooth-and-claws unfairness doesn't mean that when people behave like tools, I'm going to say "Well, this certainly doesn't compare with worrying about seizures or Schuyler's education or her future or whether or not she's going to be eaten alive by this grand rough world, so no problem."
Actually, I think for special needs parents, the opposite may be true. We spend every day of our lives waging battles that we mostly expect to lose or at the very best fight to a draw. And by every day of our lives, I mean right up until the day we die, when our last thought on this earth may very well be "What will happen to her now?"
So speaking just for myself now, when I'm confronted by forces driven not by invisible, implacable monsters but instead by flesh and blood humans whose only power over me is in what fucking PHONE I can use, do you think I'm afraid? Do you think I'm likely to give up quickly, or at all, when I'm treated unfairly by a sales associate in an ugly golf shirt with a corporate logo printed on his moob?
Do you think I'm inclined to stop fighting that little fight even when it's pretty clear that I'm not going to win? When the only thing I can do to address my grievance is to do my best to convince as many others as possible not to do business with a company engaging in unfair practices? Do I quit because it's a small fight, in the shadow of my family's larger ones?
No, I'm really not so inclined. And if that makes me a dick in your weasel eyes, that's probably true. But I'm the dick that the world has made me. Well, mostly.
See you in June, Sprint.
(Note: I would like to extend my deepest apologies to any weasels, ferrets, martens, ermines, minks, otters or stoats who may have been understandably insulted by my metaphorical representation of these particular employees and agents of the Sprint Nextel Corporation.)

40 Wondercon 2011 Cosplayers (pics)
Wondercon is like an orgy of cosplay. It was so absurd I don't even know what have the cosplayers were supposed to be. Maybe in 2012 I'll do My Year of Random Nerd S–t. In the meantime, here's a gallery of some cosplay. I think these are all of characters that appeared in a video game at one point or another, but if one that wasn't in a game slipped in, don't complain. Please?

I have decided that I want to try my hand at designing some stuff but I have NO idea how to go about it. From what I can find, most people scan in fabrics & stuff to get textures and papers but what about elements? I know I can scan small things like buttons & stuff but what about big things or 3 dimensional objects? Do I take pictures of stuff & scan those in? Also, I read somewhere that you can take things like paper scrapbooking supplies and scan those but won't those be subject to copyright laws?
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Vintage Roses Personalized Wall Hanging in Antico Black by Dish and Spoon Productions
Inspired by all things cottage, French, and uniquely beautiful, our "Vintage Roses" canvas wall hanging is a soft and sophisticated decorative statement for a little girl's nursery, bedroom, or play area! Hand-embellished with more than 250 exquisite Swarovski crystals and pearls, "Vintage Roses" is a decadent design by award-winning artist Janet White. Each edition has been reproduced on museum-archival canvas using the giclee method of fine art printing and is trimmed by hand to bring to life the intricately detailed edges of the canvas. The canvas is offered with hand-painted personalization of your child's name, up to 12 letters, as shown. Please specify your personalization preference when ordering. To preserve the integrity of the artwork for years to come, the surface of the canvas is glazed with a UV protective finish.

Metz, France (Sports Network) - Second-seeded Frenchman Gilles Simon eased
into the quarterfinals, while Andreas Seppi will not make a return trip to
the final in Metz after suffering a second-round upset Thursday at the
$545,000 Moselle Open tennis event.
The 2010 Metz titlist Simon whipped fellow Frenchman Kenny De Schepper 6-2,
6-3, while France's Nicolas Mahut, a winner of two ATP World Tour titles
this season, popped seven aces in upending the third-seeded Italian Seppi 6-4,

Seppi lost to two-time reigning champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in last year's
finale here.
Simon will meet sixth-seeded American Sam Querrey in Friday's quarterfinals.

Slovak Lukas Lacko 6-3, 6-2 on Day 4.
Another second-round result saw German Benjamin Becker outlast French wild

About Institute for Energy

See All Events
Recognizing the diverse and abundant energy resources present across Pennsylvania, the University established the Institute for Energy in 2014. The Institute incorporates the Renewable Energy Center, established in 2005 to reflect the university's commitment to improving the environment and serving our communities. The organization seeks to identify the barriers to sustainable energy use and sets up programs to overcome them through research and outreach.
"St. Francis University's meteorological tower and performance data helped Blue Mountain Ski Area turn a nice idea into a defendable business proposition. Without their program, the project might still be just a nice idea."
The Patton Wind Farm in Cambria County (pictured) came online in December 2012 following data collection from the center's Anemometer Loan Program that indicated a reliable resource. Fifteen 2.0 MW turbines now stand in agricultural farmland north and west of Patton, PA, producing clean power for 9,000 homes, when operating at full capacity. The project has brought new jobs, new revenue to townships and landowners, and an alternative energy source to the area.
"Through your program we were able to identify our resources and maximize the potential for previously unutilized land."
The Northern Bedford County School District installed a biomass boiler system (pictured) in late 2012 after learning about the technology at Rick Handley's Biomass Bootcamp hosted by the center in 2011. The system uses locally sourced wood chips as the fuel source. During the first year of operation the district saw a great reduction in fuel costs over the oil system that was replaced.
"As a board member interested in the possible construction of a wind turbine, we do not have the expertise in this area to make an educated decision and we rely on the services of the REC to guide us through this process. Without the funding provided through the REC we would not be able to pursue this venture."
Our success would not be possible without the great support of our funders. We thank everyone who has made it possible for us to offer renewable energy technical assistance and education services to rural Pennsylvanian businesses and communities. Past and Present Funders include:

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- An Alabama casino has won its bid for an expanded liquor license.
The Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board says it could not conclude that specific gaming and machines at VictoryLand are illegal. The panel says that question would be up to the courts to decide.
The Montgomery Advertiser reports (http://on.mgmadv.com/15r1x3N ) Attorney General Luther Strange believes the ABC decision is moot following a state Supreme Court ruling that the machines don't resemble the game of bingo. Strange said the opinion should end debate about whether electronic bingo is legal.
His office recently seized 1,615 machines in a raid that closed VictoryLand.
Casino attorney Charlanna Spencer said the ABC decision bolstered what a local judge and the Court of Criminal Appeals had already ruled -- that the machines were in fact legal.

- "How can anyone speak nineteen languages?"
- ―Daenerys Targaryen to Missandei
Missandei is a recurring character in the third season. She debuts in "Valar Dohaeris" and is played by Nathalie Emmanuel.
Missandei is a slave, born on the island of Naath in the Summer Sea, off the coast of the continent of Sothoryos. She was enslaved at a young age and currently serves Daenerys Targaryen after being part of the Unsullied exchange between Kraznys mo Nakloz, one of the Good Masters of Astapor, and Daenerys.
Missandei speaks nineteen languages including High Valyrian (her favorite), the Low Valyrian dialect of Slaver's Bay, Dothraki, the Common Tongue of Westeros,[1] and has some knowledge of the functionally dead language of the Ghiscari Empire.[2]
Season 3
Missandei acts as a translator between her master Kraznys mo Nakloz and Daenerys Targaryen when she lands on Astapor with the intent to buy Unsullied. She does not translate literally, offering Kraznys commentary on Daenerys' words and leaving out Kraznys' insults to the Khaleesi.[3]
Daenerys meets with Kraznys and other Good Masters and announces her intention to buy all of the eight thousand Unsullied for sale, but Kraznys says she cannot afford them. The slaver grows increasingly insulting and condescending - which makes Missandei struggle to translate politely. Daenerys then adds she also wants to buy the hundreds of young men still in training. In exchange she offers one of her dragons. The Good Masters agree, but Daenerys also asks for Missandei as a gift and a show of good faith for the upcoming transaction. He agrees, and Missandei follows Daenerys.
Daenerys asks the young slave for her name and if she has any living family, but she says she does not. Daenerys warns her that she is heading into war and she may be killed and fall sick and die, to which Missandei simply recites the Valyrian aphorism: "Valar morghulis". Daenerys responds by traslating, "all men must die", revealing to the young slave that she actually knows High Valyrian, and also adds that "we are not men", making Missandei grin.[4]
Missandei, sporting a new dress to match Daenerys's outfit, is present when Kraznys and Daenerys conduct their exchange. She translates their exchange until Daenerys fluidly begins issuing orders to the Unsullied in perfectly accented Low Valyrian, at which Missandei stares in shock. Missandei survives the subsequent sack of Astapor and marches out of the city with Daenerys.[5]
Missandei serves as Daenerys's primary aide-de-camp during the march to Yunkai. On her queen's orders, she gathers the Unsullied officers together and orders them to select a single leader from among themselves. When the new leader, Grey Worm, is presented, Missandei explains that all Unsullied are given names consisting of drab colors and vermin to remind them of their station. Daenerys promptly orders the Unsullied to select their own names, though Grey Worm elects to keep his.[6]
Missandei later attends to Daenerys and her guests Mero, Prendahl na Ghezn and Daario Naharis. Mero is rather uncouth throughout the whole event, groping Missandei and even trying smell her. In part because of his treatment of Missandei, Daenerys, the khaleesi orders that Mero be killed first if the Unsullied must fight the Second Sons. That night, as Daenerys bathes, she is surprised to learn that Missandei speaks no fewer than nineteen languages. Missandei says this shouldn't be that odd, since it only took Daenerys a year to gain a reasonable grasp of Dothraki. The khaleesi bristles at the idea she speaks only reasonable Dothraki and switches to the language to teach Missandei a lesson, only to have her pronunciation corrected. Suddenly, an Unsullied enters and hold a knife to Missandei's throat, advising the women not to scream. He removes his helmet, revealing himself as Daario. He explains he is here to kill Daenerys on orders from his captains, but they ran into a philosophical disagreement over her beauty. He then releases Missandei and produces his captain's severed heads.[7]
Missandei is later on hand as Daenerys waits for word of the infiltration of Yunkai[8] and when Yunkai's gates open. She at first recites a prepared speech on how Daenerys has freed the slaves, but the khaleesi interrupts with a speech of her own. When the freed slaves begin calling Daenerys "mhysa", Missandei explains the word's Ghiscari origins and its meaning, "mother".[9]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Missandei is a slave native to the island of Naath, located off the northwestern coast of Sothoryos. She acts as a translator to Kraznys mo Nakloz, one of the Good Masters of Astapor.
As is typical for the peoples of Sothoryos, Missandei is dark-skinned. She also possesses the typical Naathi features of a flat face and golden eyes.
While actress Nathalie Emmanuel was 23 years old when she was cast in the role, in the books Missandei is only 10 years old when she is introduced, younger than Sansa Stark but older than Arya Stark. In spite of her age, she is incredibly intelligent and serves as a key advisor and aide to Daenerys.
"Missandei" is pronounced "Miss-an-day".[10]

When did you get the bug to become a reporter and journalist?
I don't remember one particular "aha" moment, I always just assumed I would at least try to make it as a television journalist. Watching the evening news and reading the daily newspapers were an important part of my family life.My parents were very engaged in what was going on, and that interest was fostered in me at an early age. Actually, when I was a teenager,my plan was to become a foreign correspondent. Covering stories around the globe seemed so exciting and glamorous.

From Edmunds.com
We've compiled a list of the 10 most fuel-efficient cars currently sold in the U.S. based on the Environmental Protection Agency's miles per gallon ratings for city and highway travel. We considered only those cars that you can refuel at a regular gas station, so there are no electric or natural gas vehicles on this list. In order to arrive at a final hierarchy, we used the EPA's combined fuel economy formula — 55 percent of city mpg rating + 45 percent of highway mpg rating. The rating for each vehicle below is expressed in mpg as a city/highway ratio. All ratings apply to base models equipped with a manual transmission, except for the Toyota Prius, which only comes with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Royal Princess spring Jubilee surprise at Buckingham Palace picnic
18:45 04 June 2012
The Queen's granddaughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie surprised picnickers by greeting them at the Buckingham Palace gardens.
The royal sisters were near the Garden Entrance of the monarch's home, threading their way through the crowds to welcome bystanders.
Eugenie, dressed in a bright red vintage dress, said: "Hello everyone. "Who are you all excited to see - apart from Granny?"
Beatrice, in an Edem peacock blue print dress and Ferragamo blue wedge shoes, joked that she had yet to receive a hamper and that she would be setting out a picnic inside the Palace.
"I think we're going to have a carpet picnic upstairs," she told Sally Bratt, from Hendon, north London.
Tim Douglas, from Ivybridge in Devon, said after meeting Beatrice: "She liked the design of our picnic mat - Union flags.
"She said the weather yesterday at the pageant was typically British."
Beatrice described the flotilla on the River Thames as "great fun".
Eugenie, who took a peek into one of the picnic hampers, declared: "They've got champagne and everything."
Brian Greenwood, from York, said after meeting both Princesses: "We were saying we were a bit disappointed by the weather yesterday.
"But they said it didn't really spoil things. It's a fantastic occasion."

Mississippi State and Georgia don't play often.In fact the SEC's two Bulldogs have only met 22 times on the gridiron ever. But last year was one of those times and Georgia head coach Mark Richt watched his team go down in Starkville 24-12.That win was just the sixth ever for MSU against Georgia and their first since 1974 snapping a nine-game winning streak in the series. Saturday Richt's Bulldogs get a chance to redeem themselves."We're looking forward to competing with those guys again," Richt said. "They did a great job a year ago. We went into their home and they took care of business against us. So we're looking forward to an opportunity and a chance to compete with them again."Richt may have only squared off against State three times during his career in Athens but he has faced Dan Mullen's offense from 2005-08 while Mullen was the offensive coordinator at Florida. Richt admits he can see some similarities from what Mullen did with the Gators that he brought with him to Mississippi State."It's very similar (to the offense he ran at Florida)," Richt said. "He's got a quarterback who can run and throw. When you've got that it really makes it go. They do spread the field and it's obvious they like to go up-tempo. Some people spread the field to throw it and some people with spread it to run it. The first thing they want to do is run the football. When you have a big, strong quarterback like (Chris) Relf, he can run that thing. They are running option, quarterback run, all kinds of counters and powers. They've really got an outstanding run game. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

[CS6] As a web professional, I'm sure you're as excited as I am about CSS3, and you'll remember that in Dreamweaver CS5.5, we introduced support for CSS3, and with Dreamweaver 6, we continue that support and even add a few new options. Let's have a look. Here I am in my Pluralist page where I've got my Pluralist logo up here at the top of the page, but it's not exactly the way that the designer called out. The designer wanted some rounded corners here at the bottom, but of course to do that, in the past I would have had to use an image. But today with CSS3, of course, we can do a lot of these great graphic effects without actually generating images using CSS3. Let's go ahead and do that here. I've selected my logo rule, and what I'd like to do is just add a property, and that property, of course, is my border radius property. I can, again, just pop my list open, scroll up to the top to find border radius. Of course, if I know how to type it, I could type it just as quickly. In fact, I do know how to type it, so let's go ahead and do that because it is a long list of great new properties that we have with CSS3. I'm simply going to say "border radius," and as I tab, you'll remember in Dreamweaver CS5.5 we introduced this little icon here to help us create the syntax for these CSS3 properties. I'll click the button and see, oh, do I want corners on all 4 sides, or do I just want to do individual corners? Let's go ahead and just do the bottom right. Let's maybe test it out, and that's one of the great things about this panel is I can actually begin to experiment. You'll notice as we look back over here at The Pluralist logo, we're actually seeing that change already taking place. 30 is probably way too much, and my designer would kill me if I did that, so let's just make it 10 pixels on the bottom left and on the bottom right, and with that, we're done, and we've created a nice rounded effect that, again, would have required an image in the past. But sometimes it gets even more complex, and then there's a lot more that you have to be thinking about. Well, that is unless you know a secret, and I'm going to let you in on the secret right now. I've got a badge down here, this Plural To Go badge, and you'll notice that behind the scenes it sort of looks like there's a rounding happening over here just on that one corner. I want to get that rounding, and I also need the background, which happens to be a gradient. Now, I don't know about you, but if you've tried the gradient syntax, you know that it's crazy, and it seems like it changes every time I get it memorized, and so instead of even trying to remember the syntax anymore, I use the trick. Let's go over into Fireworks CS6. In Fireworks CS6, I'll just zoom out so you can see this is in fact the layout that the designer provided me. We'll zoom back in here on that Plural To Go area. Now, I want to take this entire box, that entire shape, and again, rebuild that as CSS instead of using an image. In the past, again, that would have been a complicated process, but with Fireworks CS6, I can simply select the object and then go up to my Window menu and choose to open up my CSS Properties. The CSS Properties panel is going to show me the CSS necessary to build that shape. You'll notice as I begin to sort of click around on individual pieces and areas, you can see that it's changing because it's telling me what those individual items are in CSS. Now, I have the option of several possibilities here where I can take all of the things, the width, the height, the border radius, the gradient, everything, and if that's what I'm after, I can simply click All to collect them all on to the clipboard. Now, the other possibility is to uncheck the properties or the browsers that I'm not interested in. If I, for example, was only going to WebKit mobile-based browsers, I wouldn't need all of those others, but of course, I'm going to go ahead and take them all and cover all my bases. But instead of taking the width and height because I've already got that defined over in my CSS, I'm just going to select the border radius, hold down my Command or Control key there to do a multi-select, and take the gradient, and then I'll just copy those selected properties. We'll head back over into Dreamweaver, and now I'm going to take my Plural To Go, and I want that entire emblem, if you will, that item here, so I'm just going to select that rule, and I'll go to code, which will give me my split view, and here you can see the code that I've already written, and now I'll just place my cursor into that spot and paste. Now as we go back over and take a look at our emblem, we now have a beautiful, rounded corner on the top, on the bottom, and that beautiful gradient that our designer was after without ever having to remember all of that complicated gradient syntax. One last thing that you might have noticed. This text, it's real text, but it certainly doesn't look like any web-safe font that I've ever seen, and that's true because another great thing about CSS3 is the ability to use real fonts, not just those standard 5 or 6 fonts that we've been stuck with all these years. Now, there's a couple of ways to go about that. One, of course, is through the TypeKit service, and of course, I would encourage you to do that. Check out TypeKit. There's a boatload of fonts there. But if you don't want to use that, the TypeKit service, and you want to have the fonts locally on your own server, then there's also that option as well, and we've added support for it right here in Dreamweaver CS6. See, what I'm going to do is first of all, in my site definition, I'm simply going to go to my Advanced Settings where you'll notice the web fonts section, and that's going to simply point Dreamweaver at where I want to store my web fonts. Now I can begin adding fonts, so I'm going to go up to my Modify menu and choose my Web Fonts command, and then I'm going to say I want to add a font. Now, the first thing I'm going to do is give the font a name. This is going to be Madrone, the font that I'm going to use, and then pick one of the formats that I'm interested in. I'll just take my EOT, and I've got my Madrone folder right here, and I'm just simply going to select that. And you'll notice that as I do so, Dreamweaver has already seen the other fonts and has listed them for me. The last thing is--and the most important thing actually about using fonts on the Web is you have to have a license for them, and that means a license to use them on the Web. And so Dreamweaver is going to make sure that we have that, and when I click my checkbox the OK button is going to be enabled, and I can say great, now I'm done, and now I can begin using Madrone as part of my font families, and the moment I do so, Dreamweaver is going to copy those files over into my own site definition for me. As you can see, there's a lot of great things happening with CSS3, and of course, Dreamweaver CS6 is right there to support you. [Adobe]
