So I'm new to the scrapbooking world! I have always loved taking pictures to capture memories and am always uploading pics of my family to facebook and I also have a family blog. But I am clueless to making a scrapbook page. I never got involved because I didn't want to deal with the clutter and mess of it (and the expense!) But with digital I can avoid all that! And also, how do you make your own kit? I have photoshop elements but am clueless as how to us it.So please fill me in!
New to scrapbooking!
Welcome to digital scrapbooking! It can take awhile to learn how your program works, but with patience you will be a scrapping queen in no time! My best suggestion would be to find tutorials that work best for you and book mark them. Watch them, then watch them again while you do what they are doing, and then play with what you've learned and expand on it. Learning how to make paper backgrounds is a good starting point. There are a lot of great tutorials and video's here, and you can find some on youtube as well. Most importantly, don't give up. If you get stuck on something, ask us here. This community is full of people waiting to help you out!
Here's a good step by step tutorial for your first layout. Keeps it very simple but gives you the basics for your first layout.
Here's a you tube video to create a layout step by step if you're more of a visual/auditory learner.
Here's a you tube video for using a template step by step.
Hope these are helpful!
Thanks for the links and advice! I have done a lot of googling on it. I really want to get to the point where I can make my own kits, but I don't even know where to start!
@Stefanee: I'm sorry... I am so NOT a designer. LoL but we do have a designers challenge over in the challenge forum that may help you to learn the beginning stages piece by piece. I know they make papers and elements each month that I believe can be made to match a color scheme and become your first kit of sorts. And I'm sure the other ladies present and future designers to be will be glad to assist you in any help you require and tips that they've learned along the way. I know it will be a great safe place to grow and learn.
I also saw a thread somewhere around here about some classes some of the ladies have taken that you learn and get very detailed lessons. I believe it was a paid class though. I'll see if I can find that thread and post a link for you to peruse.
@Stefanee: I can't find the threads I was referring to but I started a new one right here... so hopefully we will get you some more info soon. So keep an eye on that thread too.
@Shawna Thank you! I'm not so sure I want to get into the business side of making kits but more for me and maybe I could get a blog going with free downloads. like summer driggs site, if you've ever seen hers. I love her stuff!
I love Summers Kits! She's always been such a kind and generous woman. I also love that she's done a couple that she did donations to a family in need. The design challenges here may be more up your alley then, because they just do it for themselves to grow and stretch while learning new things. You don't have to be a "selling designer" per se' They just call them designer challenges because you are designing. (if that makes sense) Good Luck!
These are really helpful, thanks!! (I'm new to digi scrapbooking too)
yea I'm definitely going to try the challenges on here. I love that there's a weekly layout challenge. Makes things fun! I'm really glad I found this site! I just need to stock up on DC so I can get some layouts that I have my eye on!
@Stefanee and everyone else....Scraps N Pieces regularly has classes for digital scrapbooking on Beginning PS/PSE, Photoshop Techniques and a Design Mentoring Class. I think they hold each once a year. I have taken all of them and quite frankly was lost when starting in digi scrapping until I took their beginning class. I also recently finished the Design Mentoring Class and it was probably the best way to learn the design techniques! If you go here you can see the threads related. You do have to sign up in the forum I believe also.
I always found Elements Village useful for PSE! And Hummie's World. And if all else failed, I would Google specifically what I was trying to get done and most of the time, had good luck with that. I'm sure you could post specific questions here, too, and get what you need!
Let me know what you're struggling with as a newbie. It's hard for me to remember back that far, but I'd like to work up more beginner tutorials. I often prefer working from specific questions like, "how do you move a layer?" then general things like, "how do I get started" which is more philosophical if you know what I mean...
I know one thing that would have helped me more when I was first starting - a description of various things... Things like what a brush is (and how to use it), digiscrapping language & what not.
The bigger question is how well does the digiscrapping newbie know their software... If they know it well, they can follow beginner tutorials on digiscrapping with ease... If they don't, they're going to struggle & be far behind everyone else - maybe not even grasping what you're saying.
For example, I attended a few live video-classes on PSP techniques and quickly became overwhelmed not only because the person that was teaching was moving quickly around the screen, but she also had a major accent which made it hard to follow... Because I didn't know the software that well, I quickly became lost and couldn't tell what options she was choosing on the menu, so I know that I barely grasped a thing. Needless to say, I won't attend any of those classes again until I know the latest version of my software well - maybe then I'll be able to follow along... (My hubby upgraded me to a newer version of PSP last December - just as I had started to get comfortable with the version I was on... *sigh*)
I tend towards short, specific tutorials, rather than longer ones because it's easy to get lost and overwhelmed in a long one. Also, my attention span for a tutorial is like 2 minutes...It's easier to go back and check something out that way too. If it's a long tutorial you have to scroll around trying to find what you're looking for.
I'd appreciate a list of beginner short topics, like Lizanne's "What is a brush?"
Here's a few things off the top of my head that you could do a write-up on for newbies...
Create a list of things used in digiscrapping, defining what each of those items are... Not many people will know what a "style" is or a "cluster" is; what a "pattern" is and how it's used or what an "overlay" is; what "actions" are, not to mention "presets." You could also use illustrate how you would use each of those items, and let them know what programs they would work in... Because a lot of digiscrapping supplies are made for PS only, it would also be helpful to have a comprehensive list of what things only work in PS. It would also be helpful if you could give a work-around for people using other software programs so they can achieve the same effect.
A tutorial on how to use a quick page would be helpful... Most newbies will start out using them because they don't know their software yet or how to digiscrap... Things like how to get that photo into the blank spot(s). How to apply a shadow to it (inner shadow or what not). How to add journaling to it &/or a title... How to use those alphas & put them on their layout.
A good tutorial to follow that would be how to use a template, so people can move away from using quickpages & start making their own layouts... That would probably involve talking a lot about layers, how to select things, how to "clip" things, how to re-color things, etc. How to save your layouts; how to re-size them for uploading to a gallery; and how to upload them into a gallery.
And I've often read that shadowing can make or break a layout. So that's another area you could cover... Maybe you could write about the purpose of shadowing, explain different methods/ways of shadowing, give steps on how to shadow various items, and maybe provide of list of settings that people can refer to when shadowing various items (be it papers, elements, alphas, photos, etc.).
A tutorial on fixing your photos (maybe they're dark, blurry or what not), time warping them (sepia tone, b+w or what not) and/or resizing them would also help.
You could also write about downloading digiscrapping supplies (which they'll be using as they start trying to create their own layouts); tell people what tagger size kits are & what they're used for (so they don't waste their time or harddrive space downloading them if they want to use them for layouts); the importance of creating an organization system before you start downloading supplies (maybe offer up suggestions for folder names, etc.); and the importance of making a list of the supplies you've used for each layout you've made so you can give proper credit to the digiscrapping designers.
Here's another good one: Maybe their husband or son does all the software installs on their PC... They may not even know what a "zip" file is, so you may have to explain what it is... Talk about the various types of zipped files out there (zips, tars, etc.), and how to unzip the files they've downloaded... Also offer recommendations on what program(s) they can download & use to unzip their zip files (like "Extract Now," which is a free program that unzips nearly every type of zipped file I've come across).
I know it took me a while to pick up the digiscrapping language, too. So a post on that would probably be helpful to newbies as well... Things like what a layout is, what a template is & what they're generally composed of, talk extensively about layers (vector, raster, etc.) and what not.
A list of shortcuts would be helpful.
And a post on creating photo books would be helpful, too. Everything from creating one to where to send off your creations to for printing.
Great list! Thanks!!
I think a good tutorial for a newbie (like myself) would be something like "building your first layout" and make something very basic. Where you show how to open a new project, adding in a paper or two, a frame, a few elements and of course a picture.
Your "Make this page: Malaysia" video was really helpful for me in figuring out how to use a template.
And this link Shawna shared gave me the first step: http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking.html
I also really like Lizanne's first paragraph about what styles, patterns, overlays, brushes, actions, etc are. Mostly because I'm sitting here going, "yeah, what are those?!"
And an organizing tutorial was a good idea, too!
@Stefanee thanks for starting this thread. Im a bit of a newbie myself. This will help a lot.
I know when I started I would have loved a video of how to put together your first layout, however, some newbies are actually new to their programs too. So basics like how to use layers, how to use a brush, how to set a page up as in sizes, etc.
This place already has some great links that I'm sure I'll be up all night checking out. So helpful! Thanks
I'm new to digiscrapping too and as a tagger ( which seems to be a dirty word around here) I tend to work with smaller sized items.
I worry that I will run out of room downloading all these HUGE kits which are often such large sizes. I tend to make things brag book size in order to save room and because I am used to working small.
Is there a way to legally make these kits smaller. Is there a script or action to apply to a kit to shrink it.
is this allowed?
@Kay: I'm sure you can legally shrink them/resize them if they are for your personal use only. Maybe even so on the CU stuff...
Now as far as knowing where to send you to find a automated way to do this is not an answer I have on tap. sorry... I'm sure if you search google or bing or maybe even ask at your tagger group, you'd find a action that would work.
PS I want you to know we don't think tagger is a "dirty" word. I think it's just 95% of us are probably scrapping to have a IRL sized album, so we typically end up bummed when we find a absolutely to die for GORGEOUS kit, download it get all our photos together to scrap with it and as soon as we open a paper or element in PSCS, we discover... oppps that's not going to work. LoL
You are more than welcome here! I'm sorry if anyone here gave the impression we didn't like taggers. I assure you that is NOT our thought at all. We are more than excited to have you as a wonderful part of our little community. {{{huugggs}}}
I don't know of any easy way to make things smaller...and yes like above, I don't think tagger is a dirty word, but when you're ready to scrap and find out the kit is actually too small for your IRL album its a bummer.
Pardon my ignorance but what is a tagger? I'm reasonably new to digital scrapbooking, so am not up with the play with all the jargon
Kay, I'm a tagger, too, and I know exactly what you mean! I won't get involved in a discussion about tagging again... LOL! I understand that there is a place for both taggers and digi-scrappers, and that the two are not mutually exclusive, but I think I am in a minority.
I also use PSP instead of PSE, etc., and I feel out of place on a lot of things. But I've figured out that I just do my own thing, don't try to read the tutorials for PSE unless it's something I really, really, really want to try and see a way to do it in PSP. I have done some of the designer challenges, but I'm not sure I'll do very many of them. I need to work on layouts more than designing.
As far as making the kits smaller, the only way I ever found (and I did use some scrapper kits when I was tagging) was to open each piece and resize them. I also store all my materials on an external hard drive or portable drive because I worry about all the memory it takes. I have an older computer, so it gets cranky sometimes.
Does PSP have actions like Photoshop? The key to resizing things in an action is to use a percentage, rather than a specific size (since in the action you'll be resizing lots of things that are different sizes). Sorry I can't help better for PSP, but if you want more details for Photoshop I can help there.
Marisa, PSP scripts are like PS actions, I think. If you don't have an action or script, you would just go to Image, Resize, and then put in the percentage you want. At least, that's how I do it.
So if you wanted to bulk resize everything, so it stays in proportion, I'd just make an action/script that resizes everything to 50% or however small you want it to be.
Hi Welcome!! I have PSE also. I have version 10. I learned to use my PSE for digi scrapping as i went along and of course the tutorials really do help. I wasn't a stranger to doing graphics with it. However like you doing a layout was beyond me and doing a scrapbook page seemed a bit out of my reach, but i watched a few tutorials and it seemed to click and make sense.
I don't make my own kit, others do, i only do bows and butterflies because it's all i can do.For now at least. LOL you are welcome to download any one of my bows and butterfly sets to use in your pages it's under the freebies section http://www.pixelscrapper.com/forums/digital-scrapbooking/freebies/freebie-sara-elizabeth-designs
and this is the freebies section http://www.pixelscrapper.com/forums/digital-scrapbooking/freebies
i found looking at the free stuff gives inspiration and kinda helps to understand how preview pages are made and kits are put together, but that's just me since i learn by doing and seeing. Also sometimes the free kits are commercial use, not all of them, but some and those are good to download and have if you aren't going to sell the stuff you make they are also usefull for doing layout pages and what not.
The best place to start is here in this forum! and get your hands on all the tutorials you can, you can even google digital scrapbooking tutorials for pse and i am sure you will get some good ones.
once you get going and do it it gets easier!
HEY ! i don't even know what a tagger is! let alone, i can't even make paper textured! LOL and the flower bows i have if they are textured it's cause the action does it for me lol.
HOWEVER, brusheezy.com and http://www.brushking.eu/ are the two main places i get my brushes from for the newbies or anyone else that wants to know, webtreats is where i get cool cool stuff!
and now i am going to go learn what a Tagger is.
@Sarah Price and Sara Starkenburg: Basically... and this is basic as I'm not a tagger... but to answer your question:
A tagger is a person who makes very small scale or for web interface only type layouts... or as they call them tags. Usually they are made at 72ppi, and rarely at 96ppi (when the newer widescreen monitors came to be. I think the term came about from people creating a signature line (or tag line) as some call them... hence the name "tagger" for the creator of such artwork.
Sometimes for a long time anyways, they tended to be very "sexy" in nature. I don't know if this is still the case as I quit really looking at tagger based websites. But that's my "small" knowledge on the subject to try to answer your question.

- Deserted Beaches Hike (Sai Kung East Country Park)
- Dragon's Back Hike (Shek O Country Park)
- Geopark Hiking Tour
- Hong Kong Geopark Tour (Sai Kung's Volcanic Rock Region)
- Lamma Island – Island Landscapes

This guided walk kicks off by heading along the High Island Reservoir route in the Sai Kung East Country Park, then continues to its easterly endpoint, where you'll be able to check out the magnificent hexagonal volcanic column wall. For those who aren't geology nerds, that's a cool-shaped rock formation, and this is actually one of the world's largest examples of hexagonal columnar jointing.
You'll then walk back along the reservoir road and into Sai Kung Country Park. Both parts of the walk afford soothing views, whether it be the turquoise blue of the reservoir, or out to sea and the surrounding islands.
Following a lush green pathway used by bustling villagers many years ago, the tour will wrap up in the Sheng Yiu Hakka Village Museum, which is a small, carefully preserved village typical of the local area in times gone by.

Today, as I cooked and then, while I cleaned the kitchen, wrote this blog post, and still now, when I'm getting ready to walk to a friend's house for dinner, it rained. Steady, relentless rain. For hours. It could so easily be depressing. Many days that's what would happen. I would permit myself to be ruled in a negative way by something completely out of my control. But today, in addition to supporting the Spring's new growth, I somehow managed to use the rain as fuel to reinforce all the things in my life that seem right: this morning's an amazingly deep yoga practice with several people I love a lot; preparing to teach my first public group yoga class on Monday; my sweet cat asleep on the couch, still alive and reasonably healthy despite being just a few weeks away from turning 17 years old; the coziness of my apartment; a perfect mix of music that included this song, which has been playing in my head ever since I saw Morgan Geer's Drunken Prayer open for Freakwater this past March and which I don't own; and being awake to the luxury of this time alone, being in my home, cooking, and appreciating all that I have instead of focusing on what is not. I'm not sure why the rain was uplifting today instead of being depressing, if this is just grace or if it's the result of a decision I made yesterday to be happy even if it wasn't coming naturally. Probably both. Whatever the reason, I'll take it. With so much gratitude for all that I have, including the ability to choose happiness and have it work.
I don't suppose I can compare all of that to these Congo bars. Or maybe I can. They're quite special. And while I don't suppose any dessert that tastes this good will ever qualify as being actively healthy, this one comes damn close, especially when compared to other sweets. If you try the recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do. And, if you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge. It's best eaten warm but cold is good too.
Congo Bars, adapted from Terry Walters's Eat Clean Live Well
1/2 t. virgin coconut oil
1 c. teff flour
1 c. almond flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. sea salt
4 oz. natural applesauce (I use the single-serving containers)
1/2 c. maple syrup
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. cashew or sunflower butter
2 t. high-quality vanilla extract
1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 c. unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 c. dark chocolate, cut into chunks
Preheat the oven to 350; use 1/4 t. coconut oil to grease a square baking dish.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, honey, nut butter, and vanilla in a separate bowl, then add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Mix in the nuts and coconut. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, smooth the top, and draw four long trenches across the batter.
Melt the chocolate and remaining 1/4 t. coconut oil in a small pot, either on the stove or in the oven, being careful not to let it burn. Once the chocolate has melted pour it into each of the four trenches. Use a table knife to create a swirl (or, like mine, swirls and a splotch) across the top. Bake for 35 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean.
If you can manage to wait, allow the pan to cool for at least a half hour before you dig in. The bars are delicate and likely won't hold together if they're too warm. Serve as is or with a dollop of yogurt.

After some gentle pestering from MMAjunkie.com, UFC president Dana White sketched out the possibilities at hand for bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz's next booking following UFC 132.
It could be against former WEC champ Brian Bowles (10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), as he said, or it could be against Demetrious Johnson (10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), as UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby said.
Both options had recently been victorious. Bowles had bested Takeya Mizugaki at UFC 132, and Johnson had beaten Miguel Torres at UFC 130. But as Bowles recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio), he's healthier and better suited for the job.
Line up their common opponents as the first piece of evidence, Bowles said.
"I finish them faster than [Johnson] does, or I beat him more decisively than he does," he said. "I've been facing tougher opponents than Demetrious has, so that's what makes me feel like I deserve it over him."
Then there's the second piece of evidence, which is plainly seen. Bowles is uninjured (or mostly – his hand is bugging him a bit from hitting Mizugaki's head so many times). Johnson is on crutches – he fractured his fibia in the second round of the Torres fight.
Thus, figuring out who's more ready to fight is a no-brainer. Or so it seems.
"Sometimes, it doesn't really matter, and they make the decisions, so you kind of have to go with it," Bowles added. "We talked about it a little before, and it seemed like I was probably going to be it. I was at least one of the top guys in line.
"They didn't promise me that I was going to be next, but it was talked around that I might be next."
Bowles, though, hasn't heard a peep since UFC 132, so he doesn't know what the current plan is. If he's not next in line for Cruz, he'd like to stay busy anyway.
Bowles has said in several interviews that he'd like to fight three times a year, and he's on track to meet that goal. Earlier this year at UFC on Versus 3, he submitted Damacio Page at the exact same time as their previous fight two-plus years earlier. The freaky ending followed another one when he fought Dominick Cruz at WEC 47 and was forced to bow out between the second and third rounds with a broken hand. Cruz took his belt and went on to headline UFC 132. He sat out a year before returning to fight Page a second time.
There's the third piece of evidence – his fight with the current champ didn't reach its natural conclusion.
"I wouldn't have had to sit out for a year, I probably would have been back in the mix a lot quicker," he said. "But I've come back, and I'm winning. I think that should put me right back in there. I lost in a weird way; it's not like I got beat down or anything. A lot of people would like to see that fight finished."
Well, mainly him and the people around him. But it's true that he's a former champion, and that should give him the kind of capital needed for a chance to retake his title. Or so it seems.
If he does get to fight Cruz next, Bowles said he'll take a completely different tact. He admits the game plan he first approached the fast-moving Cruz with was wrong, and he's got something else in mind. What that is won't be revealed until he gets his opportunity, but anyway, he'll have a different, and better, mindset that will help him: one of the underdog.
"I wouldn't say easier, but it would be a lot less pressure on me," he said. "A lot of times if you come in as the underdog, you're like, 'Well, if I lose, then nobody expects me to win.' Kind of easier that way."
Now, he just needs a little help from the powers that be. Of course, if Johnson heals up for the fall, they could fight it out for the next shot at Cruz.
There would be no arguments then – unless they go to the scorecards.

Flipper | REWIGCD64 | Released: 28/06/09
Sleeve Notes by Henry Rollins
Listener Prepare Yourself: Sex Bomb Baby! comprises the singles as well as some of the best recorded moments of one of the greatest of America's many musical gifts to the world . . . FLIPPER.
Myself and many of my peers count ourselves lucky to have seen and survived Flipper concerts either as part of the audience or as members of one of the bands sharing the bill. I fall into both categories. Once you have seen Flipper, many bands seem to be merely pop music by comparison. Some of the strongest and scariest shows in my short life have been Flipper shows.
Sitting here now, I can't classify or define what they do. It's not PunkRock, it's not Rock & Roll, so let's momentarily forget about Flipper as they relate to music because they are so much more than that.
Flipper is the unleashing of the great mortal hell that we as respirating members of the living are constantly forced to deal with. At the end of the line, there will be no greatest hits, no hugs and no free beer. There will be broken heaters, alarm clocks that fail, rent due and heaps of real life, there will be your world crumbling around you. The roar in your ears will be Flipper.
I don't know how they did it but as to their recorded work, they were able to capture that thing of theirs, a thing that so often escapes when a band goes into a studio. For me, Flipper will always be a live experience. I saw them many times and every time was an ultimate event with large doses of humor, horror, dissonance and the end of the world intact. That being said, their records were quite endurable, part of the reason being that you were a safe distance from the band and your stereo couldn't hurt you as much. Back in those days, many bands had a few singles that were good but quite often when they tried to make an album, they saw very quickly how much they lacked. This is not the case with Flipper.
Their first album, Generic, is the perfect companion to Sex Bomb Baby! and was one of the great albums of its time, showing to all that Flipper indeed had the real stuff, even if it seemed that the music had it in for the members. Flipper was a band that I always felt the need to see, it wasn't really a 'fun' experience as much as it was necessary, like a rite of passage or a reset button - an essential part of life. It's a band you wouldn't want to be in as it didn't look like staring into the abyss as they did was a great deal of fun but to be sonically assaulted by them and then allowed to crawl away afterwards was always worth it. Falconi, Lose, Shatter and DePace were Flipper so you didn' t have to be, although you were anyway.
I am so glad that their music is back in existence. Sadly out of print for some years, we can attribute Global Warming, the Bush administration, disastrous foreign policy, wars without end and other day-to-day catastrophes to the profound lack of available Flipper material. Things will be better now that we can get all gushy and wet again.

OUR OPINION: Tough Mudder a good deal for city
The City of Mansfield deserves praise for securing the return of the Tough Mudder event next year.
This year's two-day event brought nearly 20,000 people to Mansfield to challenge themselves on the 12-mile extreme obstacle course.
More importantly, the event pumped $5.3 million to our local economy in the form of spending by organizers and participants. Part of that came from indirect or induced spending, a multiplier that pumps dollars into our economy from suppliers or others peripherally connected to the event.
Last year's Tough Mudder challenge was hailed by participants and visitors as a huge success, nearly selling out despite several issues beyond the control of organizers.
When nearby parking fell through, organizers reacted quickly to find a suitable solution, using rented school buses and parking lots at the Richland Mall and the former GM plant.
Mother Nature also brought a rainstorm on the second day of the event, making the run through the mud even muddier.
After planning began for the event more than a year ago, Tough Mudder and the city entered a five-year agreement that located the course on city-owned land near Mansfield Lahm Airport. Tough Mudder agreed to pay the city $30,000 each year— even if the event were to be canceled.
Last month that became a very real possibility when Tough Mudder raised major issues about parking and— believe it not— too much mud.
Turns out Mansfield's mud run was the muddiest run of Tough Mudder's 52 venues this year. It was so muddy, in fact, that construction of the course nearly held up the race.
However, organizers came together to work out a deal that would provide nearby parking for 6,000 vehicles and allow for an access road for course construction. There is no question that Mansfield has many assets that can be leveraged in ways that benefit our community financially. One of those assets is our location between two of Ohio's major metropolitan areas. This was a key element in Tough Mudder's decision to bring their wildly popular extreme obstacle course here. The city's ability to find a way to accommodate the needs of this business shows what can be done when local leaders work together.
This is the kind of action we expect from our elected leaders and we encourage similar behavior in the future.

10 + 2 Favourite Firefox addons: How does Chrome compare?
With reference to yesterday's news that Chrome has caught up with Firefox and that they now hold roughly the same market share (both behind Microsoft's Internet Explorer), I thought I would present the situation for exactly the same functionality, in Chrome, as the one described in my post on 10 + 2 favourite Firefox addons. You may find all the extensions mentioned here, at the Chrome Web Store.
- HTTPS Everywhere – encrypt the web! This plugin is the result of an initiative by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and it will always attempt to use a secure, encrypted connection to any web page you try to visit, so that third parties cannot eavesdrop (or make it harder for them to do so, anyway). This functionality does not yet exist in Chrome, as such. However, there's the "HTTPS Enforcer" extension, which comes pretty close. Note from the developer:"Chrome doesn't yet have the necessary API to make this plugin completely secure as Firefox plugin (https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere). So, plugin doesn't provide the full security benefits of Firefox HTTPS Everywhere, but I think it would a) provide a clear improvement in security to those who understand the risks, b) make it easy to provide the full security benefits as soon as the necessary APIs have landed. It may also increase the pressure to finish those APIs. By the way, needed APIs currently are experimental, so we can use it in stable version soon. Stay tuned."
- Add to Search Bar. Chrome kicks butt in this department, as it automatically saves and imports the functionality of every search engine you use while you're surfing. No need to install anything! (περισσότερα…)

Sound Off for Jan. 11
Where has our country gone? Why are our "leaders" allowing our borders to be breached, our states flooded with illegal immigrants who are rewarded, not with a bus ticket out of town, but with tea and sympathy from liberals who are changing the direction of America for the worst. We bend over backward to accommodate illegals at the expense of our culture, our language. We hand out driver licenses so illegal, against the law aliens can drive on our roads. We give illegals a break on college tuition but fail to give any breaks to the average taxpayers child. Illegals take jobs that a high school kid could do, jobs that a man with a family could do, women could do. The illegals are allowed to exist in this country because liberal Americans make excuses. They provide loopholes for illegals to stay in this country. For some stupid Americans this is acceptable. I find it totally unacceptable that my country is being wiped out, that English is no longer the only language spoken. That excuses are made by bedwetting liberals for this abomination.
Leave Planned Parenthood alone. it's is no ones business what a women does with her body. I am a grown adult with insurance and I choose to go there for services because I get better care then from my own GYN in Torrington. They are considerate and they are caring and i enjoy going there. I trust them more than my won doctors in Torrington. That's right they don't only do abortions. They do many things. They take care of many things that parents don't. It's an open door, and yes in some cases I would say no. Personally as a mother I wouldn't want my daughter to do that. I always spoke honestly with my children. But their are some parents that can't. Some where the kids need to go. So leave it alone.
It's time for a revolution. People need t o start fighting and speaking up. Immigrants are getting more benefits than people that have worked all their lives and fought for their towns and cities and made it what it is. It's bull crap and it disgusts me. You people allow it, it is time to start fighting. Wake up Connecticut, wake up. Now they can get their licenses. They let them on the boat. Something has to break here or there is going to be no country and no United States. No nothing!
Another well meaning bill, but for how long should these first responders be covered? Being married to a first responder who is still haunted by a little girl he could not save 20 years later, I really have to wonder if this bill makes any sense at all. He had to testify at the trial of the brutal rapist and murderer and still continue to work these last 20 years. The PSTD never goes away.
How do we help improve family structure? I have no idea, and many ideas often lead to bigger government and less individual liberty. I'd love to have a culture of marriage, children born into wedlock and stable, long-term family structures. But I just don't know even where to start and I'm not sure who does. Maybe start by limiting the safety net for inappropriate behaviors, but the transition could mean serious harm to innocent bystanders and I don't know how to cushion the blow.
How do we encourage religions of peace? Religion is a risky goal as religion can be a force for both good and evil - we often don't know how it will turn out. More religious freedom may be a start, but religious freedom often leads to people leaving religion, not embracing it. Again, I dont' know how to control for the outcome we want.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Now in its fifth year, San Francisco's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival found the sweet spot in 2012. Featuring a rock-solid line-up of A-List top billings — Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Metallica and Stevie Wonder— this year's edition boasted the most perfectly curated slate of headliners at any U.S fest this year.
PHOTOS: Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival 2012
On Friday's opening night, it was the rough and ragged Americana rock of Neil Young & Crazy Horse that topped the bill on the main stage. Delivering a powerful set loaded with brand new songs slated for an upcoming new album, Young led his charges through extended freeform jams (opening number "Love and Only Love" lasted a good 15 minutes), turning down the distortion for acoustic classic "The Needle and the Damage Done." Cranking the noise back up for "Cinnamon Girl" and the set-ending stomp of "Hey, Hey, My My (Into the Black)," Neil Young & Crazy Horse out-rocked bands half their age, showing exactly why Young's influence is so pervasive across huge swaths of popular music.
Saturday night's bill-topping set from hometown heroes Metallica was a brain-melting two-and-a-half-hour heavy metal extravaganza. Charging through their storied discography, the band cranked out a parade of fan favorites like "Master of Puppets," "Ride the Lightning," and "One" before ending on an explosive and fireworks-laden "Enter Sandman" that generated multiple mosh pits throughout the polo field. The encores included old-school numbers like "Creeping Death" and "Seek & Destroy." From the production to the performance, Metallica's show at this year's Outside Lands was truly one for the ages.
Before Metallica's set, Norah Jones did a somewhat more laid back performance. She has been performing The Grateful Dead's "It Must Have Been The Roses" on her current tour, and The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir joined her for her rendition at Outside Lands.
After the all-American rock parade of the first two night's headliners, Stevie Wonder owned Sunday night with an overwhelming and emotional set chock full of undeniable classics. Touching on rock, funk, soul, pop and everything in between, Wonder's set list featured timeless hits including "Master Blaster (Jammin')," "Sir Duke," "Signed Sealed Delivered," "Living for the City," "Superstition," "My Cherie Amour" — generations of melodies and memories turned the main stage polo field into a massive dance party and sing-along. He paid tribute to the late Michael Jackson with an upbeat take on "The Way You Make Me Feel," also covering Marvin Gaye ("How Sweet It Is"), John Lennon ("Imagine") and Jimmy Reed ("You Got Me Runnin'") Peppering his show with inspirational messages of positivity, Stevie Wonder matched the bombast of Neil Young and Metallica with the enduring power of love.
