text: Hi, I know that I am not the only one struggling with the SLURM/Maui integration so I want to share my findings with whoever else is trying to make that combination of job scheduler/resource manager work. I am hoping that we can get an active group/discussion going so that we can get the SLURM/Maui combination tested more intensively and extensively and hopefully gets some of the bugs fixed in either Maui or SLURM fixed and/or better understand the limitation of Maui/SLURM. I have enclosed my SLURM/Maui configuration notes below. I am working with SLURM and Maui on an HP XC cluster so some of the tips might be XC specific but I believe that most should work for any system. Regards Susanne --------------------------------------------------------------- Susanne M. Balle, PhD Hewlett-Packard Susanne.Balle at hp.com SLURM/Maui Configuration ------------------------ The SLURM website has the following webpage with instructions on how to integrate SLURM and Maui: http://www.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/maui.html. Unfortunately these instructions are out of date but the general guidelines are still correct with the exception of several omissions. In this Section, we go over step by step how we built the Maui scheduler and make it interoperate with SLURM. Step 1: Download the Maui scheduler kit: maui-3.2.6p9 from the Maui website: http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui/ We used the version of SLURM that comes with XC namely slurm-0.3.8. SLURM was installed and running on the XC before we installed Maui. Step 2: Compile MAUI from its source distribution. This is a two step process: 1. ./configure --with-key=42 --with-wiki 2. gmake Step 3: Update the Maui configuration file: maui.cfg. (This file is located in <path the Maui directory>/maui-3.2.6p9/maui.cfg.dist. Copy the maui.cfg.dist to maui.cfg) In the Maui configuration file (maui.cfg), add the following configuration parameters (in bold below): RMCFG[XC14N16] TYPE=WIKI RMPORT 7321 RMHOST XC14N16 RMAUTHTYPE[XC14N16] NONE Note: XC14N16 is the hostname where the SLURM controller is running. This has to match the ControlMachine in /hptc_cluster/slurm/etc/slurm.conf. The SLURM integration guide suggests having Maui poll SLURM often - in this case every 20 seconds since a job submitted to an idle cluster will not be initiated until the Maui daemon polls SLURM and decides to make it run. RMPOLLINTERVAL 00:00:20 In order for Maui to be able to access your SLURM partition you will need to define a partition with the same name as your SLURM partition in the maui.cfg file. >From /hpcd_cluster/slurm/etc/slurm.conf: PartitionName=lsf Default=YES Shared=Yes Nodes=xc14n[13-16] Update maui.cfg to include: PARTITIONMODE ON and NODECFG[xc14n16] PARTITION=lsf NODECFG[xc14n15] PARTITION=lsf NODECFG[xc14n14] PARTITION=lsf NODECFG[xc14n13] PARTITION=lsf Step 4: Uncomment the following lines in /hptc_cluster/slurm/etc/slurm.conf SchedulerType=sched/wiki SchedulerAuth=42 SchedulerPort=7321 And change AuthType=auth/munge (default XC slurm configuration) to AuthType=auth/none Step 5: Set the following environment variable and PATH * set path=(/root/MAUI/maui-3.2.6p9/bin $path) * setenv MAUIHOMEDIR /root/MAUI/maui-3.2.6p9 The Maui Administrator's Guide has a section on Building and Installing Maui which is very useful. The guide can be found at: http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui/docs/mauiadmin.shtml

Pima Community College has its next chancellor.
On a unanimous vote Friday morning, the college's Governing Board selected Lee D. Lambert as the new leaders. He is expected to start July 1.
Lambert, a lawyer with expertise in sexual harassment issues, has served since 2006 as president of a small community college in Washington state.
A three-year contract approved by the board calls for Lambert to receive a total of $344,000 a year. The figure includes a $290,000 annual base salary, a $10,200 annual automobile allowance, a $30,000 a year tax-sheltered annuity allowance and a business expense allowance of $13,800 a year.
Lambert was one of four finalists under consideration and was named last week by PCC board Chairwoman Brenda Even as "the candidate that seemed to rise to the top."
The board hopes to bring Lambert to Tucson for a visit with the college community before he officially starts.
A team of PCC board members and employees spent two days this week in Washington state, meeting with trustees, faculty leaders and others at Shoreline Community College, where Lambert now works.
Team members who made the visit are expected to be present for today's vote and will talk about what they learned.
PCC has been without a permanent leader since last year, when then-Chancellor Roy Flores resigned after being accused by eight women of sexual harassment. He denied the accusations.
Flores and his executive team - most of whom are still at the college - left the school in an administrative shambles, according to PCC's accreditor, which recently placed the school on two years' probation.
The accreditor said PCC's "dysfunctional" board shirked its oversight role and failed to act on warnings about Flores' conduct.
Zelema Harris, the retired chancellor of St. Louis Community College, is serving as interim leader of the school.
As chancellor, Lambert would be responsible for helping to correct pervasive problems that led to probation being imposed.
During a recent visit to Tucson as part of the recruitment process, he described himself as someone who loves a challenge.
Lambert said he's turned around troubled situations at other workplaces and wants to "be part of transforming Pima."
Before becoming president at Shoreline, Lambert served there and at another school as head of human resources and legal affairs, where he oversaw efforts to detect and prevent sexual harassment.
PCC employee groups, local business leaders and others are opposed to a new chancellor being chosen by existing board members, most of whom also hired Flores.

Las Vegas singer Delores is asked to return to her old convent for one final gig: to take a High School choir to the state championships and raise the funds the school needs, if it is to avoid closure.
That this sequel to a very silly but huge hit took a swift nosedive in the States proves even those who loved the High Concept of Whoopi going to the convent have a very limited capacity for cute pop-singing nuns. Slapdash and evidently written in haste, its appeal has also narrowed from a real family spectrum to a scenario for undiscriminating early teens.
This one's preposterous from the off with Vegas chanteuse Deloris (Goldberg), now a headliner performing a massively overproduced medley of Motown hits-turned-hymns reprised from the first film. Former nemesis Mother Superior (Smith) urgently sends for Deloris and persuades her to don the guise of Sister Mary Clarence to do her infectious thang one more time. Her mission: to revitalise a poor inner city Catholic high school threatened with closure and raise the sights of the hopeless students, armed only with a ray of sunshine, sass and a Supremes' Greatest Hits songbook.
That Whoopi will turn a class of loafers and rappers with attitude into a piping hot choir and kick some butt is never in doubt. The old convent girls are trotted out for an embarrassing rendition of Ball Of Confusion, with some innocent, dithery priests and a tragic James Coburn as the archdiocesan heavy thrown in for threadbare clergical and bureaucratic "chuckles".
While the kids may sing a storm when at last they get down to mixing Beethoven, gospel and rap, in the good clean fun department this is monumentally weak and derivative.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman offered tips today on how to avoid tax-preparation scams in advance of the April 15 income-tax filing deadline.
Schneiderman encouraged New Yorkers to notify his office of any suspected fraudulent activity by tax preparers.
"Taking advantage of innocent people in this tough economy is shameful and will not be tolerated by my office," Schneiderman said in a statement.
Schneiderman said his office investigates complaints from consumers about tax-preparation schemes, particularly those who prey on the elderly or college students.
In some complaints, consumers said that businesses advertise low fees, but then increase the fees when the tax returns are completed, claiming they were more complicated than originally believed.
Consumers who feel they've been victims of any tax preparation scams are urged to file complaints by visiting the office's website or calling 1-800-771-7755.
Schneiderman said there are volunteer income tax assistance sites where consumers can get their tax returns prepared free of charge. For more information about how to qualify, visit: www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html.
Consumers whose income is $57,000 or less may qualify for FreeFile and can use free tax preparation and free e-filing software. Information on free e-filing is available at: www.tax.ny.gov/pit/efile/freefile.htm.
Schneiderman offered these tips:
• Use recognizable and established companies;
• Check the tax preparer's qualifications;
• Check the tax preparer's history through the Better Business Bureau;
• Check for disciplinary actions and verify licenses;
• Find out about disclosed and undisclosed service fees;
• Avoid those who base their fees on a percentage of your refund;
• Make sure the tax preparer is accessible, even after the April due date;
• Never sign a blank return;
• Review entire return before signing;
• Make sure the preparer signs the tax form and includes a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN);
• Check out free informational services from your local government and online;
• Avoid "too good to be true" promises;
• Consult New York's "Consumer Bill of Rights Regarding Tax Preparers."

Chartiers Valley Quiz Bowl team headed to Chicago next spring for finals
Most know a lot about a little, but the Chartiers Valley students going to a national quiz-team competition know a little about a lot.
Seven students from the Chartiers Valley Quiz Bowl team will travel to Chicago next spring for the National Academic Quiz Tournaments, or NAQT, national competition after securing their spot with a third-place win at a University of Pittsburgh competition last month.
"We were all very determined, going into the competition at Pitt," senior Himali Ranade said. "We knew we had to succeed to secure our spot at nationals. There was a little nervousness because we were up against tough competition."
The team won first at the Carnegie Mellon University NAQT competition in October.
The team of Eamonn Bellin, Alex Chabala, Ranade, Greg Price, Shane Malachow, Cody Reinstadler and Matt Palmer will travel to Chicago on May 30 to compete against teams from across the country. The precise format of the competition will not be decided until closer to the competition, but teams generally play around 10 preliminary games the first day of the competition, and teams with a winning record at the end of the day advance to elimination playoffs on Sunday.
"Finding out our team made it to nationals was unbelievable," Ranade said. "There will be teams from all over the country, and to be at a nationwide competitive level with them is exciting."
Palmer, who ranked sixth in points at the CMU competition, said he is looking forward to the competition.
"It'll be a fun experience between the competition and the city itself," he said.
The high school quiz bowl team is an interscholastic competition, with teams attending practices and competing against other high school teams at varsity tournaments. The tournaments can be based on the school's athletic conference, district, county or state.
Teams are read questions relating to math, science, literature, sports and popular culture, and the first team to buzz in with the correct answer gets the point.
Ranade said she enjoys the competitive nature of the team. She said her best subject areas are math, biology and chemistry. Her worst, she said, is geography.
"Being in many rigorous classes, I learn so much every day in school," she said. "It's fun being able to use that knowledge outside the classroom."

Stuart then turned back in the direction of Chancellorsville, where nighthawk was to report to him, before daylight, if possible.
But there was nothing he could do now except to agree to Mr. nighthawk's proposal.
And now a memory was born within my brain: it was that of the cry of the nighthawk which had harbingered the death of Forsyth!
And at last Kiddie Katydid told him that it was Mr. nighthawk that he had heard.
And it drove every thought except one out of Mr. nighthawk's head.
The more he thought about Mr. nighthawk the more he wanted to meet him.
You are then determined to arrest your old comrade, nighthawk.
But it was Mr. nighthawk, making that odd, booming sound of his.
And not without reason, for nighthawk was as near perfection as anything in horse flesh of his size could be.
Kiddie had explained 94 to him how Mr. nighthawk caught his meals on the wing.

Shares of insurance holding company CNO Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE:CNO) are up more than 39% so far in 2012 and are trading at a 52-week high. That said, there are three reasons why CNO Financial Group can continue to rally.
Click to enlarge
Short Interest
As of July 13, 2012, short interest in CNO Financial Group stood at more than 25 million shares or 12% of the float. This means that many market participants still have their doubts about CNO. As CNO Financial Group continues to move higher, short sellers are likely to feel pressure to cover. Such a situation could lead to a short squeeze.
Insider Buying
Despite the fact that CNO Financial Group is trading near a 52-week high, insiders have been buying shares. Two directors, James Frederick Sievert and Keith Roger Long, recently purchased shares of CNO Financial Group. The combined total of the purchases was 57,300 shares. The insider buying indicates that insiders at the company believe that the stock is still a buy even at elevated levels.
Currently, CNO Financial Group trades at just 0.43 times book value. As shown by the chart below, on a historical basis, this is not expensive. In the past, CNO Financial Group has traded above book value.
CNO Price / Book Value data by YCharts
While shares have moved up by nearly 40% so far in 2012, I believe the stock can continue to rally. The high short interest, insider buying, and reasonable valuation are all reasons why CNO Financial Group can continue to rally.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

County Hopes Program A Lifesaver
County Hopes Program A Lifesaver
By Hicham Raache
Times Record • firstname.lastname@example.com
Monday, March 8, 2010 9:35 AM CST
Sebastian County authorities have been working to implement a system that will enable authorities to locate quickly people with mental disorders who wander off.
The Sebastian County Sheriff's Office is obtaining tracking equipment, services and training from Project Lifesaver International, a program that helps law enforcement agencies swiftly locate missing adults and children with disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia or autism.
"I started looking at it about a year ago, especially during the time Mr. (Billy) Wheeler came up missing and we had so much difficulty trying to locate him," Chief Deputy Tommy Young of the Sheriff's Office said.
Billy Wayne Wheeler, 66, of Jenny Lind disappeared from his ex-wife's residence in the 2500 block of Boothe Road in the early morning hours of April 21, 2009. Wheeler, who was known by the nickname "Butch," lived in Fort Smith, but was staying at Shirley Wheeler's home because he had become ill, suffering from bouts of confusion. He had been diagnosed with dementia and Parkinson's disease, according to authorities with the Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said Wheeler had gone to sleep at 10 p.m. April 20. When Shirley Wheeler checked on him at about 12:30 a.m., he was asleep in his bed. At 5:30 a.m. April 21, he was gone. His shoes were still inside the house. It is believed that Wheeler may have left the house barefoot.
A massive operation, spearheaded by the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office in April and consisting of 100 rescue personnel searching either on foot, horseback, ATV or from helicopter, went on for several days before being called off.
Nearly one year later, Wheeler has yet to be located.
Young said the implementation of Project Lifesaver could make such a massive and unsuccessful search less likely in Sebastian County.
"You want a speedy recovery as quickly as possible, not only for manpower reasons, but the health of the individual we're trying to locate," Young said.
Young said Project Lifesaver was brought to his attention by Beth Deramus, a former employee of Fort Smith Alzheimer's Association. He said he then began researching Project Lifesaver and spoke with Chief Deputy Ron Brown of the Crawford County Sheriff's Office.
Crawford County purchased tracking equipment from Project Lifesaver in 2008 and signed up its first client in January 2009, according to Brown.
"We started out with enough transmitting bracelets for 10 (Crawford County residents) and we went ahead and purchased seven more," Brown said.
The bracelets obtained from Project Lifesaver are worn by adults or children who have mental disorders that cause them to wander off. The bracelets transmit a signal which law enforcement agencies can track with Project Lifesaver tracking equipment, according to Brown.
Mobile tracking equipment provided by Project Lifesaver can detect a bracelet frequency within a two- to four-mile radius, Brown said.
Searchers begin tracking at the point where the missing person disappeared, and continue following a signal from the frequency of the missing person's Project Lifesaver bracelet.
If a local resident wearing a Project Lifesaver bracelet goes missing in another state, he or she can be tracked in that area by law enforcement agencies equipped with Project Lifesaver tracking devices, Brown said.
Project Lifesaver has more than 1,100 participating agencies across the U.S., Canada and Australia, "and has performed over 2,100 searches in the last 10 years with a 100 percent success rate," according to the official Project Lifesaver Web site.
It is urgent that a missing person suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease be located soon after they go missing, Young said.
"The quicker you find a person with disability or dementia the better," Young said. "The longer they are out in the elements, the more risky it is for them."
The elements of Sebastian County, which consist of rural and wooded areas with bodies of water and heavy brush, is highly dangerous for a lost individual suffering from a mental disorder, Young said.
Project Lifesaver equipment would better ensure that such lost individuals would be located before coming upon such dangers, Young said.
"Instead of spending three to five days searching for somebody, we should be able to find them in the first few hours with this type of system," Young said.
Young said he has spoken with county officials about Project Lifesaver and so far it has been met with enthusiasm. He said the next part of the process is a discussion of cost.
Brown said that for the Crawford County Sheriff's Office, the average cost of each transmitter was $280 with an annual maintenance cost of $300. The Crawford County Sheriff's Office purchased transmitters and tracking equipment with drug forfeiture money, but relies upon donations for maintenance costs. He said donations can be made through the Bank of the Ozarks to the Summit Women's Auxiliary Project Lifesaver Account.
Project Lifesaver tracking devices, Young said, will save the county money that would go into paying overtime wages for the scores of emergency responders who participate in a search when a person with a mental disorder goes missing.
"(Right now) we have all the conventional resources to conduct a search, but this would make it a lot easier, with less manpower and less cost," Young said.
Shannon Ladd, outreach coordinator for the Fort Smith Alzheimer's Association, said there are about 60,000 Arkansas residents 65 and older with Alzheimer's and other dementia-related diseases.

6th Annual Democratic Leadership Summit Focuses on Emerging Latino Populations
(WASHINGTON, DC)- Today Senate and House Democrats kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with the 6th Annual Democratic Hispanic Leadership Summit and unveiled the report New Communities and Opportunities–Perspectives on Emerging Latino Populations. The event, held in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., is organized by Congressional Democrats and is co-hosted by Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, the Senate Steering and Outreach Committee, chaired by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), Steering's Hispanic Task Force co-chaired by Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the House of Representative's Hispanic Working Group.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, who spoke at the event, said: "The Hispanic dream – the hope of a better future – is the American dream. Hispanic values are American values. The values of opportunity, fairness and community are also Democratic values. While, more than ever before, Hispanic-Americans are enjoying the benefits of the middle class, the Bush Administration is leaving them behind. While Republicans are undermining the values of hope and opportunity, we will not let them divide us."
"We have a lot of work ahead of us," said Senator Reid. "We still need the Voting Rights Act to be reauthorized, protect social security for our families, address the health care crisis disproportionately impacting Latino families, and make sure every student has access to a higher education. We need to make sure that Latinos are brought to the table, and not simply asked for their support or ignored on issues facing our country."
"The focus of today's summit is emerging Latino communities. As a native of New Mexico, which is more than 40 percent Hispanic, I am privileged to bring a unique perspective to that discussion," said Senator Bingaman. "It is my hope that everyone participating in today's summit will look to New Mexico as a blueprint for the integration of many diverse populations and interests into a strong, cohesive community that values the contributions of all and hinders the progress of none," Bingaman said.
"I take pride in representing Connecticut, which has an increasingly diverse population," said Senator Lieberman, new co-chairman of the Senate Democratic Hispanic Task Force. "Hispanics play an active and emerging role in our community and enrich us with their work ethic and
-more- family values. The leaders who join us here today are the promise of America, working to achieve the American Dream. Today we honor that promise by committing to faithfully represent the values and voices of Hispanic leaders in the United States. We will provide real resources and real reforms so our culturally rich communities have the opportunity to prosper." "As our Hispanic communities advance socially and economically, they are facing new challenges. We must all work together to address these challenges and help create solutions that will stimulate greater advances in the future," Senator Clinton said.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Bob Menendez, (NJ-13), said that "the Hispanic community now plays a leading role in the nation's economic, social and political life, and this summit recognizes that growing influence. As the highest-ranking Hispanic in Congressional history, I am honored to be joined by so many colleagues in working to better arm our community for success in the 21st century."
In every area of American society, Hispanics are increasing in presence and influence. Still, much work needs to be done to better equip emerging Hispanic communities with the tools necessary to overcome persisting barriers and to succeed in the 21st century. The policy discussions at the summit addressed the challenges and opportunities for Hispanics in urban and rural communities; upward mobility through higher education and the challenges to increase representation of Latinos in corporate America. The Media and Entertainment Industry panel will examine the image of Hispanics in the mainstream media and the emergence of Hispanic media. Hispanic participation and representation in the political process, and the challenges that Latinos in the military and veterans face were also discussed.
Congressional Democrats will continue exploring the challenges and opportunities that the Latino community faces and working with Latino leaders to find solutions that can improve the quality of life for all Americans.

Top Teachers: Emily Mason
By Tom Lappas, Henrico Citizen Editor 02/18/11
Emily Mason felt a simple calling to life as a teacher.
"I wanted to make a difference in a child's life," she said.
As a third-grade teacher at Baker Elementary School in Varina for the past four years, she's been able to do just that.
Mason focuses on messages of positive reinforcement for her students and rewards achievement by taking students to dinner or for ice cream after school. She holds afterschool tutoring groups and makes frequent use of her Promethean interactive board during class lessons.
In one nomination, the mother of one of Mason's former students described her daughter as a shy student who normally wouldn't have gotten involved in many activities. But with Mason's encouragement, the girl signed up for a school dance performance.
"At first, [the student] was nervous, but as she practiced each week, she got better, she made more friends, and her confidence grew," the mother wrote. "She started to try more things that used to intimidate her, such as reading much more complicated chapter books. Her confidence in [her] least-liked subjects, such as math grew. [The student] would walk around before a test saying, " I am going to kick math's butt"!
The girl continues to demonstrate the confidence Mason instilled in her, the woman wrote, and she even ran for office in the school's SCA election.
"She did not win, but she felt like a winner," the woman wrote.
Mason, whose father and grandmother both were teachers, said she feels at home with third-graders.
"I really love teaching this age," she said. "They are still very eager to learn. They have a little more independence, and they are very creative. They've pretty much mastered the art of reading, but there are still light bulbs that come on every day."
With the Promethean board, Mason has seen a difference in the way her students prepare and in their excitement levels during class.
"They're just so eager," she said. "They come to the carpet, where we normally sit, and it's not a struggle. They're just ready to learn, very excited about interacting with it. Every day we have a new activity up there, and they just can't wait to see what we're going to do."

The painted rocks craze is thriving in Henrico, as a walk around the grounds of local libraries and parks will demonstrate. This rock was spotted near Libbie Mill Library, and there's a slideshow of many more uniquely-painted stones on the RVA Rocks Facebook page (https://facebook.com/groups/RVARocks/).
Painting and hiding rocks is a family activity appropriate for all ages, and parents especially like the way it fosters creativity and gets kids outdoors. > Read more.

The 'Gardnerian' Book of Shadows
It is important to point out that there is no 'official' Book of Shadows. Typically each coven has a hand-written copy of a Book of Shadows, sometimes in cypher or code, which reflects its own practices and knowledge. This particular text is derived from a file posted on the Internet in the early 90s, and quotes previously published material which was known to be in use by Gardner and his group.
Gardner claimed to have been initiated into an ancient, clandestine witch cult. However, modern researchers have concluded that 'The Book of Shadows' was composed by Gardner and there is no evidence that he was ever initiated into any coven but his own. The text shows influences from English and Celtic Folklore, John Dee, Thelema, the Golden Dawn, Stregaria, Tantric Yoga, and even the Bible. This version was compiled by Aidan A. Kelly and was originally posted on the Internet in the mid-90s as part of the Internet Book of Shadows material. Because the Book of Shadows was never formally copyrighted or even attributed to an author, its copyright status is dubious. It is provided here for background information and as a basis for a beginning discussion of Wicce.Casting the Circle

Mine and my husband's dermatologist examines our private areas when he does an all-over body skin exam. Is this standard? I thought so, but a friend of mine thinks it is not. Please advise.READ MORE
In an all over skin exam, is it standard for the "private parts" to also be examined for cancer?
Dear Sherri,
It is absolutely appropriate and an essential part of a complete skin examination or skin cancer screening for your outer genital region to be examined. This is an area where you can develop skin cancer, pre-cancer or other problems. You should also examine your genitalia yourself when performing skin self-examination as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology. Your hair, mouth and nails should also be examined as they are derived from your skin. I think it's best for the dermatologist to have a chaperone in the examination room while performing the skin exam so that the patient feels comfortable. It's especially helpful for a female assistant to serve as a chaperone when the dermatologist is male and the patient is female.
If you feel uncomfortable with how your genital exam is being performed, you should discuss this with your dermatologist.
Hope this helps.
Dr. Hema
I have never had my dermatologist examine the genital area closely - my once a year Gyn exam usually takes care of a close up look and PAP smear at that time. Did you offer any information during the "history part" of your discussion with the dermatologist that might have him examining you for a herpes rash or other skin
STD signs? Do you have a family history of skin cancer that might be encouraging the dermatologist to want to scrutinize you more closely? If not, I would come right out and ask the reason directly from the doctor and see if the explanation offered is adequate.

How do i get good cars/good money fast?
Ive been playin this game for a long time and am just doing the same old races and getting the same old cash. But how can i get lots of money from a race fast?
alexnollent - 8 years ago
Top Voted Answer
I find that the easiest way to make a lot of money is to use emp as your special and drive up on a freeway racer doing around 100 to 120 with your emp charged flash your headlights as your pulling along side of them and hit your emp temporarely disabling their vehicle this should give you a good lead and as long as you don't crash you should win easily afterwards if the race was fairly easy let the other driver pass you after the race get back up to 100 or so and do it again
Psychosis8232 - 6 years ago
Buy the Ninja, and do some wagers on Hardest, in whichever venue you are best in. You will get about 21k every race. If you get good on the Ninja, you will be earning a lot of money in no time.
Posieden31007 - 8 years ago
Everyone says use the ninja to race hardest races, but what if you lose?
I have found that probably the fastest method to earn cash is to get into the highest class vehicle you can (don;t know if the actual stats of the vehicle matter, but I know at least the class will effect it) and start the delivery mission on the easiest setting.
Not only will you have plenty of time to get to the delivery point, but you will not potentially lose any money on a wager and you will gain a decent amount of cash depending on your rep and the class of car you were in when you started the delivery.
Another factor is time, and in wager races, sometimes it takes a long time (relatively speaking) to complete a race. But in the delivery missions at most, they take around 60 secs. Most are less.
The upside also is that as you get better, find your routes for each of the cars (there are only about a dozen cars for delivery and always the exact same delivery point for each car) and get your times down lower, you can up the difficulty and make more money at your leisure.
This is how I have earned money the fastest with the least difficulty and zero risk.

The way that I got good money stored up, like in the millions.....I worked my way up to the corvette, and finally the 2006 lamborghini gallardo spyder. I always ran highway races on the east side of town loop. Mostly green but you can move up to the harder ones if you like. That's how I won the 25 in a row to get the "A" license. pretty tough but I did it; and made a ton of money trying too. Stay on the same loop....on the EAST side of town going round and round, after a while you get pretty good. Run in between the fast lane and the center lane most of the time. After a while you can breeze right past them like they are standing still. Use the electro magnetic pulse when ever the the guy you're racing gets close to you .....that will knock him back and you will be able to get away. The good thing is even if you loose the race you still get second place money...6-7 thousand to loose the race....just finish and you get paid!!!! Keep away from Dora in her SL65 AWD....she will really give you a run for your money!!!

If you have unlocked the revenge missions for carol then just do loads of them on hardest which is still easy,great fun and you get about 5k in 5 minutes
Darkstalker77 - 7 years ago
Get a motorcycle, Kawasaki Ninja at best... It's like cheating... but it'll get the job done... trust me
350zrocker - 7 years ago
The best way to get money fast is probably to do freeway races over and over again. The cool thing is you can finish them really fast and get a lot of ca$h. Now if you want more money do the harder ones try this strategy, first make sure you have EMP in your car as a power up and make sure there is at least one charged, now drive up behind the freeway racer you want to race at about 100 mph and flash your lights when you are right along side of the freeway racer and right when the race starts use your EMP. Now you should have a big head start so if you don't crash you should get first place and if you do crash get in control and use NOS. Hope this helps because this is what I do because this is the quickest, and easiest way to get a lot of money for an easier race.
benspot97 - 6 years ago
The quickest and easiest way I found to make money was to do the South Central deliveries. On easiest you can earn between $9,000 and $13,000 for each one. I made $650,000 in two hours.

Buy 1098r because its cheper than ninja full custum go to macks burgers wager and go hardest if you lose twice do highway on hardest.
woopwoop1297 - 6 years ago
I think the best way is to go to arcade mode set the race as "Welcome To Hollywood" it is small and gives you the same amount of money depending on time. and set it to weather clear time of day noon (to see) and power-ups off and race in the south central Ducati 2008 1098R its fast and controllable and also upgrade it to the max (its only about 24k to upgrade it fully and if you dont have the south central pack just get the Kawasaki ninja. :) (Delete ElDiablo is my xbox live name.
DeleteElDiablo - 3 years ago
This is Rockstar Support. The fastest way to earn money is to do delivery. Keep doing until you are able to buy a expensive car. Than do delivery on easiest and if you are driving an expensive car, you get more money each delivery you make.
Rockstar_Suppor - 3 years ago
get a Kawasaki Ninja, level it up, then fill out your garage, go to Mack's burger pink slip, lose an expensive car, buy another car, then win the pink slip on the expensive car you lost, it will give you the price of the car since it cant actually give you the car. all cheats enabled.

America's Third Largest Party
The Libertarian Party is America's third largest and fastest growing political party. Libertarians engage in a variety of projects, working for everyone's liberty on every issue.
The Libertarian Party was created in December of 1971 by people who realized that the politicians had strayed from America's original libertarian foundation, with disastrous results. Their vision was the same as that of America's founders — a world where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, a world of peace, harmony, opportunity, and abundance.
Libertarians are practical; we know we can't make the world perfect. But, it can be better. Libertarians will keep working to create a better, freer society for everyone. As William Allen White said: "Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others."
"Libertarians believe the answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders."
Libertarians believe in the American heritage of liberty, enterprise, and personal responsibility. Libertarians recognize the responsibility we all share to preserve this precious heritage for our children and grandchildren.
Libertarians believe that being free and independent is a great way to live. We want a system which encourages all people to choose what they want from life; that lets them live, love, work, play, and dream their own way.
The Libertarian way is a caring, people-centered approach to politics. We believe each individual is unique. We want a system which respects the individual and encourages us to discover the best within ourselves and develop our full potential.
The Libertarian way is a logically consistent approach to politics based on the moral principle of self-ownership. Each individual has the right to control his or her own body, action, speech, and property. Government's only role is to help individuals defend themselves from force and fraud.
The Libertarian Party is for all who don't want to push other people around and don't want to be pushed around themselves. Live and let live is the Libertarian way.

Another line is being crossed in the campaign to fundamentally change America. The Left has long regarded the American Constitution as an obstacle to the sort of fundamental change it desires, and now the seeds of delegitimizing the Constitution itself are being planted by powerful members of the progressive establishment.
Louis Michael Seidman, Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Constitutional Law at Georgetown University, is no fringe figure. He is a pillar of the left wing legal establishment, graduate of Harvard Law, former clerk for Thurgood Marshall, and notable figure in the Leftist "critical legal theory" movement. His law school's most prominent recent graduate is Sandra Fluke, and its former dean, Peter Edelman, is most famous for resigning a senior position in the Clinton Administration to protest the wildly successful welfare reform measures enacted when the GOP controlled Congress and signed by President Clinton.
Seidman has taken to the pages of the daily bible of the progressive establishment, the New York Times, to lend respectability to a movement to subvert the Constitution, and turn to an undefined system which inevitably means the loss of our safeguards against tyranny. All expressed in superficially reassuring prose. In a stunningly-titled piece, "Let's Give Up on the Constitution,"

Brussels (AFP) April 9, 2011
NATO said said Saturday none of its warplanes conducted any air strikes on the Libyan town of Ajdabiya, after residents claimed a huge blast was probably caused by an alliance strike.
"We can confirm that there were no NATO strikes in the city of Ajdabiya," a NATO official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"We continue to engage government forces throughout the country. We have verified that the alleged air strike in Ajdabiya city was not the result" of a NATO strike, the official said.
NATO is also trying to verify reports that a helicopter bearing a rebel flag was flying towards the frontline around Ajdabiya despite a UN-mandated no-fly zone enforced by the 28-nation alliance, the official said.
"We are still trying to verify if there was any violation of the no-fly zone," the official said.
The official added that if any aircraft violates the no-fly zone, NATO surveillance planes send a message demanding that the pilot land immediately.
If the aircraft is still in the air, jets are scrambled to intercept the plane and can then shoot it down if the pilot refuses to land.
A helicopter can take off and land in a relatively short period of time, making it harder to intercept quickly, the official added.
NATO is operating under a UN mandate to conduct air strikes on ground forces threatening to harm the population and prevent aircraft from flying over Libya.
earlier related report
The jet had taken off from a rebel-controlled airfield near the eastern city of Benghazi in the morning and was intercepted within minutes, the official said on condition of anonymity. No weapons were fired by either side.
"No aggressive action was displayed by the MiG-23 and the NATO fighters proceeded to force it to land back at the Benina airfield," the official said.
The official added that the rebels had not warned NATO that one of their jets was going to take off.
It was the first time that any aircraft violated the no-fly zone since NATO took command of the mission from a US-led coalition on March 31.
"A request to fly by anybody in the no-fly zone would be scrutinised and there would have to be very compelling reason for an aircraft to be flown," the official said.
The UN Security Council put in place last month a no-fly zone over Libya to prevent Moamer Kadhafi from using his air force to kill civilians after the Libyan leader violently cracked down on pro-democracy protests.
NATO has also conducted air strikes against Kadhafi's ground forces under the UN mandate to use "all necessary measures" to protect the population.
Following normal procedure, NATO jets were scrambled to intercept the MiG-23 after it was detected by an AWAC surveillance aircraft, the NATO official said.
Two NATO planes flew alongside the MiG and made visual contact with the Libyan pilot, using international signals to indicate that he should land. The signals are usually made by hand or by tipping the plane's wing.
"He complied and the aircraft landed very quickly after take off," the official said. "It was only in the air a few minutes."
"In this case there was no aggressive behaviour, which meant no lethal force was required," the official said.
NATO assumes the pilot was part of the opposition because Benghazi is in the hands of rebels who have commandeered several Libyan fighter jets.
"It shows we are impartial, the no-fly zone applies to any aircraft," the official said. "A no-fly zone is a no-fly zone, period."
The intercept came in the wake of two friendly fire incidents in Libya.
NATO warplanes mistakenly struck a column of rebel tanks on Thursday, killing four people. The alliance admitted that it was unaware that the rebels were using tanks in the conflict.
A week earlier, NATO warplanes fired in self-defence after some fighters fired celebratory tracers in the air. Nine rebels and four civilians died in that incident.

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) is responsible for ensuring developmental screening of infants, toddlers, and preschool children under the federal and state regulations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Illinois parents can learn more about getting developmental screening in two ways. If your child is 3 years old or older, check your local phone book or call your local public library to obtain the phone number of your local school district to request a screening. If your child is younger than age 3, contact a Child and Family Connections Office in your area.
A listing of all CFC offices and the areas they serve is available online:
[A note for early care and education providers: the Child Find Project provides public awareness materials for school districts and early intervention programs. To order public awareness materials from Child Find, please call 800-851-6197. To refer a child or family to the early intervention services system, please call 800-323-GROW (800-323-4769) (Voice and TTY).]
If, after going through screening and evaluation through your local school district, your child is determined eligible for early childhood special education and related services, the school district is required to provide those services.
Professionals with training and expertise in special education services implement the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B, by supporting the educational needs of young children and families. Early childhood special education professionals and related services personnel provide specialized educational services to children with disabilities in a variety of settings such as early childhood, preschool, child care, prekindergarten/Preschool for All, Head Start, and other early childhood settings to meet the developmental learning needs of these children.
Early Intervention services for infants and toddlers and early childhood special education services are provided under IDEA. You can read about and become familiar with the features of IDEA in the National Center for Learning Disabilities' Parent Advocacy Brief:
School districts are required to provide a free and appropriate public education for all children with disabilities who are age 3 through age 21. Services through the school district must begin at age 3 for a child who is already served in an early intervention program. Parents can read a publication about their child's rights with regard to special education in Illinois:
Local Education Agencies (LEAs) such as school districts work closely with Child and Family Connections offices and participate in Local Interagency Councils. LEAs also help children in their transition to a preschool program as they approach their third birthday:
Parents of young children with special needs often find other parents a great source of support, encouragement, and resources. Parents can search the IllinoisParents Web site by county to find local resources and parent groups.
Parent groups related to a specific disability are listed in the following sections of this FAQ. Parent groups that serve parents of children with all types of special needs include the following:
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by problems with attention, impulsivity, and over-activity. Children with ADHD often have problems getting along with peers and can have trouble at home and at school.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental disabilities that cause problems in social interaction and communication. ASDs may include the presence of unusual behaviors and interests. Children with ASDs are likely to repeat certain behaviors and to not want change in their daily activities. ASDs begin during childhood and last throughout a person's life.
A child with Down syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome 21. Those with Down syndrome share some physical and mental features, but symptoms of Down syndrome can range from mild to severe. Usually, children with Down Syndrome will have slower mental development and physical development than those without it. Some have other health problems, including heart disease, hearing and vision problems, and thyroid, intestine, and bone problems. However, often children with Down Syndrome live productive lives well into old age. Many related resources can be found on the Medline Plus Web site, including information on caring for a baby with Down Syndrome:
Parents may find additional support and information from this Illinois source:
Learning disabilities can affect a child's speech, hearing, reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, reasoning, memory, and information organization. The severity and effects of learning disabilities vary greatly.
Research indicates that children with a hearing loss are helped by early identification and intervention and achieve a higher level of language development than children who do not take part in early intervention. Early intervention usually focuses on the child's language and communication development and may include signed and spoken language, as well as assistive technology such as hearing aids.
Illinois parents of children with severe vision problems can find support from other parents, as well as information that can help them encourage their children to develop the skills they need.

Rude Or Thoughtless People- As Beings. - Poem by Michael Gale
Do you want to know what is a stupid thing in life to do? ....Leaving the car keys locked inside a running car.
That has got to be the biggest bone head, thing to do...That in itself would be the excuse to get a brain that is different or at least, brand new.
Another stupid and thoughtless feat, that one should ever claim to accomplish, is to drink alcohol, or text, or even talk on a cell phone, while driving in traffic...The effects of this blunder-could be quite tragic.
Life should not be dealt with so willy nilly...Everyone should get a brain, and quit being so stupid and silly.
Another dumb thing to do is leave your child inside a car, unattended, in their car seat...Especially, in high degrees of temperatures of the Sun's killing heat.
With the key in the ignition...There here, should be no indignation.
People should not hit or mistreat a wife or a child...They should not let their temper go ramped and wild.

Her spokesperson said the actress has to be admitted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles after personal physician detected a problem.
Ailing actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was hospitalized on Wednesday, March 2 after suffering circulation problems in her left leg. Her personal physician called an ambulance to the star's California home after detecting a bloodflow problem.
She was transported to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, where her right leg was amputated in January, and is currently under the care of medics. Gabor's husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt accompanied the actress to the hospital.
The 94 year old has been in an out of hospital in recent months; part of her her right limb was amputated to stop the spread of gangrene. Gabor suffered a stroke in 2005 and in February this year, she was treated for pneumonia. But she was released from the hospital on on February 6 to celebrate her 94th birthday at home.

It is being reported (sadly, but more on that in a minute) that a Google Phone will be launched in late 2007 and is being produced by HTC. Details are a little sketchy but it looks like Orange will be the first to get the new phone.
This phone looks to be a pretty basic clamshell with integrated Gmail and Google searching functions. Sure the drawing echoes a 4th grader's rendition, but you never want to give too much away in a Patent filing…maybe it will be in a fascinating color like gold or shiny black.
Expect 3G and Edge network and no GPS functionality.
The fact that it is only a ho-hum phone is a bit depressing for me personally, but I still cling to 2 bits of hope:
- A while back, Google front man made an interesting comment on cell phones should be free, supported by advertising (applying in my opinion to service as well as hardware). This is an interesting premise and I bet many of the 1.02 billion (yes, billion) phones shipped last year (up 22.5% from 2005) would prefer to pay nothing rather than a typical service contract.
- The Google Switch Phone. Sure it is a grainy photo and there are obvious obstacles in data entry for a touch screen, but the hope is still there.
Will it be free? Will the Switch follow?

What is Romantic language and style?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
The Romantic writers, both authors and poets, idealized the individual, the imagination over realism, and the dreamworld. Romantics also incorporated nature, or Nature personified, in their texts. Essentially, nature had a power which matched, and sometimes exceeded, that of humankind.
The language of the Romantics' is elevated and eloquent. Romantics employed the use of numerous rhetorical devices (metaphors, similes, and personification), and they looked at the world through "rose colored glasses" (an optimistic view of the world which failed to show the world realistically).
Emily Dickinson, a Romantic poet, personified Death in "Because I could not stop for Death." Death is given the ability to walk around and, essentially, collect its "partners" in a carriage headed for the end of the road (or the person's life).
Mary Shelley, a Romantic novelist, uses elevated and eloquent language in Frankenstein. "I am by birth a Genevese; and my family is one of the most distinguished of that republic. My ancestors had been for many years counsellors and syndics; and my father had filled several public situations with honour and reputation."
William Blake, another Romantic poet, played with the idea of nature's power. In "The Tyger," Blake illustrates the power of nature while questioning its existence in the first place. Curiously enough, Blake is successful in both elevating and questioning nature's power in the same piece.

Analysis: Israel's faith in force
By Jeremy Bowen
BBC Middle East editor, Jerusalem
A senior Israeli military source has said it is unrealistic to stop all the rocket fire.
But the Israeli army believes it can be decreased, and made less accurate, thanks to what he called boots on the ground. The objective, the source said, was not to recapture the Gaza Strip.
Plans had been drawn up to unseat Hamas and if the order was given it could be done, although it would be a long campaign.
The Israeli military says Hamas fighters are not engaging with them in close combat. Instead they are using mortars and improvised bombs.
Hamas' objective will be to give the Israeli army the same humiliation that the Shia movement, Hezbollah, inflicted during the 2006 war in Lebanon
Israel is trying to deflect some of the international condemnation it has had for killing civilians and using air power and ground forces in a place where 1.5m people live.
It says that the humanitarian effort has been integrated into the military planning.
That is unlikely to reassure all those who have called for an immediate ceasefire.
It is clear that Israel believes it is also sending a message to its other enemies - especially Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israeli military sources say Hezbollah's capacities have not been decreased, but if they want another round they would pay the price.
The Israeli army was hit hard by Hezbollah in the 2006 war. Hamas will want to emulate them. Israel does not want a repeat of what happened the last time it invaded Lebanon.
Populated areas
Israeli troops have entered Gaza before to try to stop rocket fire - they did not succeed.
Hamas leaders have warned that a "black destiny" awaited Israeli forces
This time, after a week of air strikes, Israel believes force will work, because much more of it is being used.
The Israeli military will be concerned about casualties, but they are a very formidable and well-armed, modern force.
Its troops also know Gaza very well, having occupied the coastal territory from 1967 until September 2005.
Nevertheless, they may find it difficult when they enter the main populated areas, in which the buildings stand pretty close together. The many refugee camps are warrens of single-storey, concrete or breeze-block houses with tin roofs.
Hamas fighters, who know Gaza better than the Israeli troops, have a belief in resistance and martyrdom.
Their objective will be to give the Israeli army the same humiliation that Hezbollah inflicted during 2006.
For all their bravado, Hamas are unlikely to be as formidable as Hezbollah.
The rocky, hilly terrain of south Lebanon was not good for Israel's armour. Gaza, on the other hand, is flat and sandy.
Hamas is said to have smuggled weapons in through tunnels under the border Egypt, but it is doubtful that it has the arsenal which Hezbollah acquired.
Even so, they will be the latest heroes to those people across the Islamic world who have latched onto ideology of resistance to Israel and its American allies, which has become one of the region's most potent ideas.For Hamas, the definition of victory will be that they can they fight on at the end of all this; for Israel it will be the stopping of rocket fire from Gaza.

A Beginner's Guide to Dreamweaver
What is Macromedia Dreamweaver?
Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) Web editor. It's called that essentially, because everything you see while creating your Web page will appear exactly the same on the Web. In other words, you won't have to fool with messy HTML codes, which can be much more complicated. This software will allow you to quickly code and design your page by dropping, dragging and inserting objects and properties. Dreamweaver is similar to other WYSIWYG editors, such as FrontPage, but it gives you (the Web designer) much more freedom.
You can download a trial copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver from www.macromedia.com. You can also buy the software from Amazon.com or any physical store where software is sold, such as CompUSA.
Keep reading to find out how to get started building a simple Web page, from scratch, using Dreamweaver.
Start things off with a blank template. Choose HTML under the Create New column.
You should see a screen that resembles the picture above. I would suggest only working in the design mode. You will know if you're working in the design mode if the Design tab toward the top of the screen is pressed (as it is above). If you press Split, it will show you the design and the HTML code on top of each other, which can be confusing. If you press Code, it will only show you the HTML code.
So, let's start building your page. Say you want a basic three column Web site that resembles something like this:
Here's how to build it.
First, let's choose our background color. To do this, you need to make sure the Properties window at the bottom of your screen is open. If yours isn't, click the downward pointing arrow, as shown above in step 1. Once that pops up, you'll want to click the Page Properties button (step 2). Now, the page properties window should show up in the middle of the screen. As shown in step 3 above, locate the words Background image with a square and a text field next to it. Click the arrow in the bottom right hand corner of this box. You should see another, smaller window appear with a wide array of colors. Here, you may choose any of these preselected colors for your background.
You might decide you want to create your own custom color as well. To do so, click the second button to the right of the words System Color Picker. You will see another color window appear, like the one in the bottom right corner of the image above. Simply move the cross hatch on the color grid to choose a shade of your liking. When you have one selected, click the Add to Custom Colors button and then hit OK.
You will need to hit Apply and OK on the Page Properties window as well.
Now, before you can add any pictures or text to your page, you need to set up the basic structure of your Web page. Many Web pages use a two column structure or a three column structure (sometimes more!) I'm going to show you how to work with a basic two column structure, which seems to work well for most Web pages.
To create tables, you must get to the Table window. There are two ways to get there. One is by going to Insert, Table on the toolbar (like in the first screenshot above). The second is by clicking the Table button (like in the second screenshot).
Both ways will bring up a window that looks like the one in the bottom right hand corner of the screenshot. To create a two column table with a header, enter the number 1 in both the Rows text areas and the number 2 in the Columns form fields under Table Size. This tells the software how many cell blocks wide and long to make your table.
Next, you'll want to set the Table Width in pixels. 200px (px is an abbreviation for pixels) is a bit small, so I suggest changing this value to 600, which is commonly used. Underneath the Header section, select Top. Lastly, enter in the title of your Web site next to Caption (under Accessibility) and you can also add a summary of your page if you would like.
Your tables should resemble mine, as pictured above. The dotted lines will not appear on the Internet when you publish your page, so don't worry. They are simply there to guide you.
The area in between the dotted lines are where you will place your content. This area is also called a cell block.
You will probably want to change the size of your header to make it stand out. You can do this by highlighting the words with your cursor, clicking the arrow next to Size in the Properties window at the bottom of your screen. Then, select a size from the drop down menu. I recommend choosing a number above 12.
Once you've clicked the number or font size you want, it should immediately change on the editing screen.
Next, you will probably want to make one of the cells of your tables narrower than the other. The narrow side would be for links and navigation, while the wider side would accompany your site's content. You can do this by, first, placing your cursor inside the cell. Next, find the letter W with a text area next to it in the Properties window at the bottom of your screen. Here you will type in the width that you want your cell block to be. Since we chose to make our tables 600 pixels in width, 200 pixels would be a good balance for the left table.
Now, for the fun part! You can start decorating your page by adding pictures and text. First, I will show you how to add a picture.
To add an image to your Web page, select Insert, Image in the toolbar at the top of the page. This should bring forth the Select Image Source window. You will need to find the picture you want amongst your files, highlight it with the cursor and click the OK button.
If your image did not end up where you wanted it to be, simply drag and drop it into the correct space. You can do this by clicking the image and while still holding down your mouse, slide the arrow to the desired space and release.
Once your image is in the correct frame, you may also want to change its position. To center the image, use the Align Center button, as circled in the picture above. Make sure you've selected the image before doing this by clicking it once with your mouse.
Now, how about adding some text to your page? First, you'll need to make a little bit of space below the image. You can do this by clicking in the space right next to the picture and hitting the Enter button. Now that your cursor shows up below the image, start typing away!
You can use any of the buttons circled in red in the Properties window to edit the look of your text. The thick B is for bold, the I is for italics and the other buttons align your text to the right, left, center or justified. It's all very similar to using Microsoft Word or a comparable program. Simply highlight the text you want to modify to do this.
Now, it's time to add links. You can use the linking tool to link to other Web pages, other sections of your Web page or even your e-mail address. To do this, start by typing what you want your links to say (this means, what you want your visitors to see. Not necessarily the URL).
Drag the cursor over the first word or phrase that you want to make into a link. Then, in the Properties window at the bottom of the page, find the word Link with a wide text area next to it (step 2 in the picture above). Type the Web address to the page of your choice in this area. You should see a line appear underneath the word or phrase you highlighted earlier and it should also change to a shade of blue.
The final step of creating your Web page is to put the final touches down. This means, changing the colors and fonts on the page to suit your liking. You can do this by clicking the Page Properties button once again in the Properties window. By using the Appearances tab, you can change the font of the entire page at once by choosing one from the drop down menu next to Page Font. You can also change the color of your text and add a background image if you wish.
You may also want to change the colors of your links. To do this, click the Links tab on the left hand side of your Page Properties window. This works basically the same as choosing the background colors for your Web page. Click the arrow in the corner of the box next to the words Link color and choose your preferred color from the color grid. Repeat this process for Visited links, Rollover links and Active links.
Voila! Your Web page is now complete. Now, all you have to do is publish this to your Web host and you're good to go. Yes!
