the way i learned ps (yesterday was the first day i made something with it i swear to god),
is that i just saw that what it says is what it does
the basics that you need to understand are:
selecting (using laso, or boz tool):
when u select an item, any things u do (such as gradient) is within the selected area. therefore if u selected a part, than copied it thats what you get.
Everytime you paste something, or add a new object, it makes a new layer. therefore if you copied something from one image and pasted it on another, its two layers. layers are important caus u need them in animation
a very important thing that took me a couple of minutes to learn (which was pretty long for me ) was that eraser doesnt just make the part you erase over white. It actually deleates from the image. Therefore say you copied an image with a white backround. You decide to paste it over another image. Youd notice that the whole image (even the white) will appear over the backround image. If however you erased over the white part (you wouldnt see the difference yet) you will find that if you paste over the backround again, that it DOESNT show the white. Now this may be a pain in the ass, believe me its the longest part for me. However there are 2 other eraser tools that will make your job easier:
1. backround eraser
lord i dont know how it works, but i love it. Simple erase over some words that are in front of a picture (actual words that are part of it, not text using the text input tool) and you will notice that the bakround behind the words disapear, and not the words o_O. I dont know how this works exactly, or its limitations. I just say play around with it
2. Magic eraser
this is like a paintbucket, except it actually clears the area you click in. However if part of a line is broken, it may clear more than you want it to. Use it with crisp lines, and not small broken ones.
Another lesson on layers
ok this is important, and it took me a while to get used to. On your layers toolbar is where you will be working with layers naturally. However there are a few things you need to consider
1. View layer
the little eye next to a layer, shows wether u see the layer. This is important for animation (very important) and also it will make your life easier. However note 2 things. You cant work with a layer thats hidden, just because you cant see the layer doesnt mean your not working with it. You need to select the layer you are working with.
2. Work on layer
if you click the whole layer, the layer you are working on is the one with the brush on it. This is important since if you have several layers, you have to have the brush on to work on the one you wanna work on. just because you see a bunch of layers, doesnt mean you are working on them all.
A little basics with animation:
yup learned it yesterday along with ps in general
Ok to use animation you need layers. If you understood what i said before, you will understand new objects make new layers. However there is another way to make layers. If you selected an area, and than chose to do "layer via copy" that will mean you make a new layer of the exact object you copied. This is important for doing things such as editing animation with a brush, since brushes dont make new layers. after you have the layers you want, go to "edit in image ready" on the bottom you will see the animation toolbar. First you need to simply click on the page icon for how many pages of animation you want. I usually do mine to how many layers i have, since layers make the animation. You can set the timing easily with the animation by clicking on it, thats not ahrd at all. However you have to realize that each animation deals with layers seperatly. say for insatance your first page of animation had a circle on it. If you went to the 2nd animation and removed the circle layer, than it will apply only to that animation. therefore you do your animation by selecting in each animation slide, wether or not you view a layer. You'll get used to it .
some basic tips with animation(stuff i use)
Sparkles, bullets, rain wutever
if you want to have an effect that covers the whole picture, but you want it to look like its hitting all over it (hard to explain, just look at my examples lol) than its real easy to do. Simply just add the effect once with a new layer (like for sparkles, do select all, layer via copy, than just use the sparkle brush and dab all over the new layer). Just add another layer, and use the same brush, but try to tab in slighty different places. this will make area effects
Say you wanted to make something expand. there is an easy way. First lasso the item you want to expand or move i guess, and copy it. Paste it, but make it smaller or bigger, or in a different spot (free transform). Keep doing this until it completes an animation. some good techniques to use:
skew (to make a fluid motion)
distort (to make advanced expansion)
perspective (you can do nice grow effects)
o well i hope that helped ^^;;
just some basic tips from a begginer ^^;;

Getting & Using New Fonts.
Spoiler for Reply:
Geting Started
Here's are some nice little websites to get free fonts:
The easy normal way...
Now if you go into PhotoShop or ImageReady or any other application you can see the fonts, and use them, even if the application was running when you installed them.
Even Simpler
Another way...
A simpler way to install fonts is to create a shorcut of the Fonts thingy in your Control Panel. Just go left click on it and select Send to... » Desktop. Now all you have to do is extract the fonts then drag and drop on the icon to install them.

^Animated GIF files usually have lower quality since they're only limited to only 256 colors. It gets worse if you have to shrink it down to 50kb with that size.
Anyways, it looks fine. You just won't be able to use it in this forum.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is reminding the public that the reward for John Arthur Volker, 50, has increased to $13,000 for information leading to his capture if the tip comes in during the month of August. The Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender and this month's featured fugitive is wanted for probation violation. All tips are guaranteed to be anonymous.
Volker has ties to several cities in the Houston area, including Splendora, Spring, Conroe, Humble and Houston. He has also previously resided in southern California, near Los Angeles and San Diego. His criminal history includes indecency with a child-sexual contact, involving two young girls. For more information and updates in the event of his arrest, see his wanted bulletin at: http://www.dps.texas.gov/Texas10MostWanted/SexOffenderDetails.aspx?id=205.
Volker is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs approximately 165 pounds. He has been known to work in restoration jobs.
One offender from the Texas 10 Most Wanted Program is featured each month in hopes the higher reward money from the Governor's Criminal Justice Division will generate additional tips. The higher reward amount will only be paid if the tip comes in the same month the fugitive is featured. All calls, texts, emails and Facebook tip messages are anonymous.
To be eligible for the cash rewards, there are four different ways to provide anonymous tips:
• Call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477).
• Text the letters DPS - followed by your tip - to 274637 (CRIMES) from your cell phone.
• Submit a Web tip through the DPS website by selecting the fugitive you have information about, and then clicking on the link under their picture.
• Submit a Facebook tip at http://www.facebook.com/texas10mostwanted by clicking the "SUBMIT A TIP" link (under the "About" section).
The following link, http://bit.ly/VqydsJ, explains the steps on how to submit a tip regarding a Texas 10 Most Wanted fugitive or sex offender and/or how to receive a reward once the fugitive is captured.
Texas Crime Stoppers, which is funded by the Governor's Criminal Justice Division, offers cash rewards to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest of one of the Texas 10 Most Wanted fugitives or sex offenders (http://www.dps.texas.gov/texas10mostwanted/).
Do not attempt to apprehend these fugitives; they are considered armed and dangerous.

At the UNESCO Forum on Global Citizenship Education, Youth Reveal a Fierce Commitment to Change
By Sofia Antonia Gomez-Doyle
ABU DHABI, 23 December 2013 - I participated in the UNESCO Forum on Global Citizenship Education: Preparing learners for the challenge of the 21st Century in Bangkok, Thailand from 2-4 December 2013. During the three-day conference, I had the opportunity to engage and learn from scholars, educators and leaders representing organizations such as UNFPA, TakingITGlobal and the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) who offered their experiences and perspectives on education. The conference explored a range of topics including education in relation to sexuality education, peace building and conflict prevention, teacher education and technology.
As members of the youth delegation, we engaged with young activists from over twenty countries who shared a similar commitment to education and a sense of hope and idealism that education plays a necessary role in promoting peace, fostering understanding and bridging ethnic and cultural divides.
During two youth-focused sessions facilitated by Chernor Bah, Chair of the Youth Advocacy Group for the Global Education First Initiative and Deepika Joon, National Program Officer at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development, we discussed the meaning of global citizenship education (GCE), outlined the most profound challenges that youth currently face, and discussed practical and action-based solutions to engage youth in a global conversation about the importance of education.
There were two important lessons that I took away from the forum. First, GCE transcends national, cultural and ethnic divides. The defining principles of GCE - a belief in equality, compassion, empathy, hope for a better future and a commitment to human rights - were common to all of us.
During a time of technological change, youth unemployment, rising university costs and civil conflict, we recognized the need for GCE, not only as a method of teaching in the classroom, but also as a mindset that should permeate both formal and informal learning. GCE is a philosophy of education of how we should treat one another and how we should envision the future. If we - the young people, the next generation - are to develop interconnected and multidimensional solutions, we need a toolkit to think about these interconnected and multilayered problems.
Consequently, the theme of integration became a driving force of our conversations. As our world becomes increasingly globalized, we cannot think of ourselves as isolated and insular individuals. In order to respond to these emerging global challenges which require a collective response, we need to be aware of and responsive to the problems affecting communities beyond our own borders.*
Second, I learned that the local and the global are inextricably connected and wholly dependent upon one another. Global citizenship education begins with understanding the social, political and economic challenges within our own neighborhoods and then compels us to frame and explore them through a global lens. GCE urges us to examine how our interactions on local, regional, national and global levels are influenced and shaped by one another.
On 21 September 2013 on the International Day of Peace, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, "Education is vital for fostering global citizenship and building peaceful societies."
The UNESCO forum reinvigorated my belief that our world needs a culture of empathy and understanding. We need to weave threads between communities and countries, linking individuals by our shared understanding that we are all citizens who bear equal responsibility and accountability in fostering global citizenship and building peaceful societies. To eradicate extreme hunger, promote gender equality and ensure environmental sustainability, we need quality universal education. We need global citizenship education. Global citizenship education offers us the toolkit to become disruptive agents of change, mobilize resources and build sustainable development for our communities.
Forged by my experiences as a young woman, as the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants, and by my education in Chicago, Swaziland, Cambodia and now Abu Dhabi, I have seen the power of education to transform individuals, strengthen communities and inspire a sense of hope for a more inclusive and equitable future. My experiences compel me to believe that education is the way forward.
As I spoke to and listened to advocates and leaders discuss their educational initiatives, I was inspired by the already existing energy for GCE and the belief that Nelson Mandela championed, which is that, Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
In memory of Mandela and his tireless fight for education, we must continue to do more together as global citizens. At the GCE forum, I was again reminded that we - the youth - have a responsibility to drive change, inspire action and make connections between communities across the world.
Wherever you are in the world, there are many ways to take action: (1) Join a group dedicated to change; (2) Share ideas with friends and colleagues; (3) Remain persistent; (4) Start local; (5) Define short-term measurable goals for action.
As youth, we must continue to create, change and amplify our vision for our futures.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – DC Comics is expanding the reach of its digital comics by selling its monthly titles through iTunes, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
The decision appears to be the first time a comics publisher has made all its titles – not just graphic novels or collected editions – available for sale on iPads, Kindles and Nooks.
The industry has embraced tablets, with most selling their titles through Comixology and other online storefronts on the same day that print copies are sold in comic shops.
Hank Kanalz, DC Entertainment's senior vice president for digital, says it is not leaving Comixology. Instead, DC hopes to capture new readers for its monthly titles who already buy most of their media through their tablets.

It's that time of month when we leave the everyday behind and step into the magical world of Sweet November land. And this time we are not the only visitors to frolic in the forest glens and converse with all the whimsical characters that call Sweet November Land home... this month there are princesses to be found there as well!
Meet Princess Ilyse. She is demur and regal as is befitting her station. But don't let that cool, calm demeanor fool you... inside beats the heart of a lion and she is as brave as any knight in the land. Ilyse is beautiful and strong and she is smart enough to know that it is much better to befriend a dragon than to try and slay one. ;)
And of course she's got some candy to go along with her too... take a look!

Go Buy Now: Bumble and bumble's Surf Foam Wash Shampoo and Creme Rinse Conditioner
My hair is at its best just out of the ocean: wavy on the verge of curly, wind-blown, wonderfully textured, but not crunchy. I've gone to such great lengths to achieve such hair inland that I once carted a bottle of ocean water home from Montauk to Manhattan, hoping a post-shampoo douse would do the trick. Surf sprays certainly help--I love Josie Maran's Bohemian Waves Argan Hair Mist ($22), hairstylist Jen Atkin turned me onto Fekkai's lightweight Tousled Wave Spray ($25), and I've been using Bumble and bumble's Surf Spray ($25) since high school. The black salt-filled bottle gives off a faint ocean scent and heavy ocean texture, making their decision to launch a surf-inspired shampoo and conditioner this month long overdue.
Bumble's forgiven; it was well worth the wait. The Surf Foam Wash Shampoo ($24) and Surf Crème Rinse Conditioner ($25)--both of which also smell of the sea--are full of both Epsom and table salts (Magnesium Sulfate and Sodium Chloride if you want to get scientific) to amp up volume and texture while softening curls into wind-blown waves. But what does it do to straighter hair? After fielding compliments for a week, I asked a few of the straight-haired girls in our office to give the shampoo and conditioner a shot and let me know if it was really working magic.
"After three days of using it, my hair definitely feels like it spent a day at the beach," says Photo Editor Ashley Galloway, who showed up with bodacious blonde waves on Monday morning. "The fact that I can just leave it and go, score body and texture, and get a lot of compliments? I'm sold." Danielle Nussbaum, Who What Wear's Entertainment Director, echoed Galloway's sentiment: "It was tackier and piecey; the combination of the shampoo and conditioner plus the Surf Spray made my hair stay beachier longer than just using the spray with regular shampoo." As for our Editorial Director, Hillary Kerr, she says, "My fine, flat hair was significantly thicker and even a little wavy--and I didn't have to blow-dry or curl my hair to get said volume, which makes me very happy."
Turns out there is an easier way to achieve beachy hair than taking a dip in the ocean every morning.

New Delhi: Katrina Kaif is this year`s reigning queen as far as downloads on mobile phones of images of an actress are concerned. It is the fourth consecutive year that the "Chikni chameli" star has topped the category.
Katrina is followed by Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma and Vidya Balan for the actress with most images downloaded on mobile, according to the findings of Airtel Mobitude 2012.
Among men, Shah Rukh Khan led in the category of Bollywood actors` wallpaper downloads. Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor featured in the top five.
The annual survey of customer preferences captures the `mobile attitude` of 186 million plus customers in the country.
Its findings indicate that India recorded over 75 million wallpapers (with 300 per cent growth) and 150 million plus music downloads in 2012.
Katrina`s "Chikni chameli" number from "Agneepath" was the most downloaded song of the year.
In the Hollywood segment, Kim Kardashian led in the category of images downloaded and also featured in the top five Hollywood celebrities.
Popular hit "Kolaveri di" maintained the top position in terms of downloads in 2012 as well. Though reasonably popular, the worldwide rage "Gangnam style" did not experience similar success among mobile internet users in India and could not beat the success of "Kolaveri di", the survey said.

TAUNTON — Authorities are warning local high school athletes to steer clear of a Facebook invitation to participate in any sort of unauthorized wrestling event.
The warning was issued Wednesday to high schools across the state — including the Taunton Public Schools — by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association.
The MIAA email was posted to the nonprofit group's Facebook page and forwarded to the attention of principals and athletic directors.
A person identifying himself as Manny Whelan has been reaching out to male student-athletes during the past two years, offering cash to compete in a so-called underground wrestling club, according to the MIAA statement.
MIAA spokesman Nathan Bonneau said his group was contacted Tuesday by a member high school, which he declined to identify. He said MIAA has 373 member schools across the commonwealth.
Bonneau said Whelan allegedly sent messages, via his Facebook account, to student-athletes attending the unnamed school, as part of an attempt to solicit interest in a wrestling competition.
The email refers to Whelan having staged wrestling competitions in hotels. That detail appears to have been gleaned from postings on the Internet forum masswrestling.com.
One of those posts alleged that Whelan has used hotel conference rooms to attract paying customers who sometimes bet money on the matches.
Bonneau also said the MIAA alerted the Massachusetts State Police.
State Police spokesman David Procopio said, although a crime has yet to be committed, there is "enough suspicion that warrants us to investigate."
Procopio advised high school athletes to resist any temptation to engage in what he calls an illegal, nonsanctioned sporting event.
He also urged anyone with information suggesting any illegality or suspicious activity to call the state's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, for which state police in Massachusetts act as lead agency. That phone number is 978-451-3550.
Messages left seeking comment from Taunton Schools Superintendent Julie Hackett and Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh were not returned.

I'd be 100% neutral if Pakistan were to play England in the final. I love the way Pakistan play there cricket, and what I meant to say was that it would be a good contest. I didn't say good luck to any team really, and just observed that it was about time England won something in ODI's.
The only instance I don't support Pakistan is when they play either India or Australia. Otherwise I enjoy their cricekt.

*** Lesson Details ***
With over 20 years teaching experience, Nick is patient with children & adults. He has a creative, unique pedagogy emphasizing hearing through singing, ear-training & natural, organic listening. Nick instills healthy absorption of music while students have fun learning their music, sight reading, internalizing with focus on rhythm and time.
As a student, you will get to work on music that you, the student select as well as work on sight-reading, technique, ear-training. We will also work out of method books and use other sources of information.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Chairs, music stands, instrument stands, classical foot pedals, classical guitar pillows, guitar amps, guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, drum set. Students usually provide their own instruments but it's possible to borrow an instrument during the lesson at the studio on the first lesson. (free street parking right in front!)
*** Specialties ***
Nick's pedagogy emphasizes ear-training, singing, reading and truly hearing the music we are working on. Rather than rote teaching and guitar tablature, he instills natural listening, transcribing, sight-reading and proper technique. Lessons are always enjoyable as Nick observes each student's unique needs and listen's to their song preferences and musical goals. Students have the opportunity to learn pieces and genres they select and they are trained to figure out tunes by ear (ear-training) and transcribe.
Nick teaches:
-classical guitar and Brazilian guitar (nylon 6 string and nylon 7 string guitar)
-acoustic steel string guitar, electric 6 string and electric 7 string guitar
- jazz guitar + an eclectic mix of styles: blues, Brazilian music, Latin Jazz, Afro-Peruvian, Indian music, rock, heavy metal, funk, R & B, Motown, reggae + other genres.
- tenor banjo (traditional jazz, jazz from New Orleans, Dixieland and world music)
-5 string banjo (Earl Scruggs finger picking [bluegrass and country])
-tenor guitar
-resonator slide/Dobro.
-baritone resonator (slide)

*** Lesson Details ***
I'm big on teaching songs and techniques learned through scales and chords, which will enable you to improvise, solo, and write your own music. I can teach either traditional note reading or tablature, and can transcribe your favorite songs and solos. The lessons are fun, with new material to learn and play every week. I hope every time you pick up a guitar, it will be a creative experience!

A student can expect to be treated with respect, and have a lesson tailored around their abilities, interests, and amount of practice time. I make the lessons fun but also informative. I try to get to know my students so that they feel comfortable. I am laid back, but also determined that a student practice well, and learn not only the instrument but music fundamentals a
*** Studio Equipment ***
Basement converted into music studio with instruments, and piano and keyboard. Parents can sit in on lessons. Street parking available.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide all lesson materials, listening examples, and, on occassion, an instrument. I often use my laptop to play songs and tutorials for students (who don't buy records like we did in the old days.) Generally, students must provide instrument.
*** Specialties ***
I tailor my lessons based on three factors: a student's interests, their ability, and their amount of practice time. I do not use a cookie cutter method of teaching because each student is different. I have studied, formally and informally, rock, pop, blues, jazz and classical. My specialties are rock and blues. On occasion, I will use method books, such as the Schirmer books for piano, but only if the student clearly seems to benefiting from them.

I've played guitar since I was eight years old and various other stringed instruments for several years. I love the banjo sound and played a bit on my original album Heliotropism. I'd love to help novice players get their feet wet with the instrument, strumming and plucking away at their favorite songs.
About Gio
I have been teaching guitar, drums, and piano for about eight years to students of all ages. Music is what I'm passionate about and it's what I enjoy. I want to inspire that same passion into the hearts and minds of others.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a laid-back teacher, fun, and I focus on the needs, abilities, and ambitions of the student. In turn, students must realize that learning an instrument takes a lot of work and dedication. One can't expect to learn very much if s/he only practices or thinks about the instrument during the lesson. If the student is willing to put some time into practicing, then I will help them go far!
*** Studi
I have several guitars, a drum kit, djembe, mandolin, clarinet and full-size keyboard.

We were really pressed for time to get some branded items for an event, and the team worked with us to establish what could be done even though the only file with our logo I had was poor quality. In the end, we had a lovely product everyone was very happy with, delivered on time and within budget.
Ross Robinson,Account Manager was very good, quick at his response and very reasonable with his pricing! I would definitely use Everything Branded again.
Callum was extremely helpful from the very first call and all further correspondence. He managed to not only get us a good deal but work with our tight deadlines!
KAtie has been great! thanks so so much for all your help
Great and attentive service from Harry. Speedy turnaround of proofs and artwork. Highly recommend.
Our AM Louis has been fantastic throughout our order process - the products arrived last week and the quality is great!
It was a pleasure to deal with Jasmine, nothing seemed too much bother even though we changed our minds a fair few times so numerous visuals were required and we had a very tight deadline. Jasmine ensured that the pens met the deadline for our launch event! I will be placing another order directly with Jasmine shortly.
Jasmine has been very efficient dealing with my queries for merchandise and replying immediately to my requests for prices etc. Would recommend your company but would also now seek samples before ordering as disappointed with a couple of items ordered,this in no way reflects Jamine professional approach towards customer care and service.
Excellent customer service from Dan, fast and efficient. Many thanks- hopefully 120 happy rugby boys and girls at their Christmas party
Adam Squires has been a fantastic Account Manager. He will always go the extra mile to support our business and is a joy to work with!
Got the cheapest price for a certain product by quite a margin and delivery was made by the deadline.
Cameron Reid-Jones has been great to work with, replies quickly and has helped fulfil my order quickly and efficiently.
Very good experiences so far. Especially account manager Dan has been of great help. I needed a quote within a couple of hours and he came back with one immediately and had some great suggestions as well
Excellent service, very friendly, Melanie was extremely helpful.
Really pleased with our lip balms - Dan in Sales Support was mega helpful in the design and ordering process. Good price and quick delivery!
I've really enjoyed working with Everything Branded. Mollianne couldn't have been more helpful, personable and professional and did an excellent job in getting the product I needed ready on time. The team even helped with last minute changes. I will definitely use them again.
The products are exactly as ordered and expected but what makes Everything Branded different to it's competitors is the service provided by my account manager Adam. Quick responses with candid humour and easy and straightforward approach - makes a refreshing change!
Cameron was excellent from start to finish! Couldn't recommend him and Everything Branded enough - thanks again!
I was really delighted with my dealings with Everything Branded, Carmine my representative did everything he could to ensure that the items I was quoted for, were completely in line with our brand, at a reasonable price, but still of a high quality. There was a wealth of correspondence between us as I fed back changes to our quotes and orders and reviewed samples. Carmine was super helpful and I would recommend E.B to anyone else looking for large numbers of branded hoodies, notepads, water bottles, bespoke stickers - he really knew his stuff!
We were very happy with the service. We ordered 200 Christmas hats for our big Christmas event. Ryan Westley delivered an excellent service - we even received the hats a day before we needed them which was hugely appreciated. Huge thanks and Ryan was prompt getting back to me too! Really happy with everything.
Adam Squires is always available to assist me with all my Marketing projects i.e. branded company items for clients, staff or events.
Not only has Dan been great and attentive to all our needs at IMC, but his other colleagues at Everything Branded were immensely helpful also. Thanks very much for your help Dan! :)
Working for an international marketing team, I need the best quality promotional items at the best possible price. Everything Branded consistently delivers on these things and what makes it even better is the outstanding customer service we receive from Adam and the team.
If I have to rate a review for Everything Branded it would be more than 5 stars and that is because of Mr. Dan Biggins. The customer assistance that Dan gives is A+++. For almost a year, being a customer of everything branded I never had a problem. If there is anything I need for my business the first person I know that can assist me is Dan and I have never been wrong. Dan delivers every transactions smoothly and professionally. Looking forward for many years of business.
The bags we ordered look great and arrived on time. Thanks so much!
Louis Henry, Account Manager Is extremely professional in his approach. Always willing to help with excellent customer service. A credit to your company.
Fast response. Honest timescales. Would use again. Thanks!
I contacted Jai Chavda as we have used Everything Branded in the past for our business needs and have always been impressed with the results. I sent Jai an idea of what I needed for our corporate Christmas card and was really impressed with the design and final artwork received. Quick and easy to arrange, good value for money and will defiantly use again in the future.
Reece was very helpful with finding the pen we needed and it was delivered on time for a reasonable cost.
Great customer service. Samuel Wainwright was so accommodating. I received a call within 10 minutes of my initial interest. Design ideas discussed, artwork agreed, order placed within the hour. Great work.
Very helpful and prompt service from Reece Lockwood.
Samuel was very helpful throughout the process of selecting the right product at the right price and went the extra mile to find a distributor who could deliver at short notice. Pleased with our branded School cotton bags and water bottles. Will definately use Everything Branded in the future.
Reece was very helpful and professional
I had a short lead time to buy some mugs, and Reece delivered for me. The mugs were delivered as promised the day before the event that I needed them for, exactly as I had requested.

He named Clemson and NC State his top two adding, "It depends on what other offers I get." Gibson made his way to Clemson for a junior day recently and liked what he saw. "I've been there three or four times," he said. "This time I got to see the campus and where the players stay. The coaches are telling me the best players get to play and contribute and I like that. They said they don't worry about seniority. They said if I'm the best at my position, I'll start." Gibson has also visited USC. "I was there for the Wofford game," he said. "It was pretty cool. The coaches seem really tight." He heads to Florida State this weekend for a junior day. As a junior he totaled 70 tackles, four interceptions returning two for scores and added a kickoff return for a touchdown. He did not name a leader.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Lynette Holmes of Langston (Okla.) has been named the NAIA National Division I Women's Basketball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Holmes was selected based on her performances from Feb. 10-16 and was chosen out of a pool of conference and independent award winners.
Holmes, a native of Chicago, Ill., carried Langston to three Red River Athletic Conference victories last week, extending the Lions winning streak to six games. The junior forward scored a season-high 50 points on 20-of-31 shooting as Langston downed No. 9 Our Lady of the Lake (Texas), 106-56, on Feb. 10. She also grabbed 10 rebounds in the contest for her fourth double-double of the season. In the Lions' wins over Huston-Tillotson (Texas) on Feb. 12 and Southwest (N.M.) on Feb. 15, Holmes had nearly identical stat lines. Against Huston-Tillotson, she recorded 34 points on 12-of-22 shooting while grabbing nine rebounds and blocking three shots. Against Southwest, she scored 33 points on 13-of-22 shooting, grabbed nine rebounds and swiped six steals. For the week, Holmes shot .600 from the field (45-of-75) and 1.000 from the charity stripe (19-of-19), while averaging 39 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 3.3 steals.
On the year, Holmes has scored at least 20 points in 19-of-23 games and leads the Lions in points per game (27.83), rebounds (151), blocks (22) and 3-point field goals made (45). She leads the nation in points per game (27.83) and total scoring (640), while also ranking among the top 25 in field goal percentage (16th, .532) and free throw percentage (25th, .804).

measurement, problems
In a bid to improve the relevance of its ratings, Nielsen/NetRatings has announced that it will no longer use page views as its primary metric for measuring the popularity of websites. Instead, it will focus on the amount of time that users spend on the site. Obviously, there have been a lot of problems with the current system, as the use of page views grossly inflates the popularity of some sites, like MySpace, while penalizing sites that aren't refreshed or reloaded as often. As the above article notes, the new system will give YouTube a boost, but will ding Google's main site, which isn't designed to keep users around. Of course, therein lies the flaw with this new measurement system. Google is incredibly profitable and successful, precisely because it does a good job of whisking users away to other sites, either through ads or its search results. The idea of penalizing it because users don't spend a lot of time on the site is absurd. When it comes to TV shows, it may make sense to adopt a uniform measurement system, because all TV shows have the same purpose: to sell ads. Websites, however, have a variety of different business models, so trying to define a standard metric of success is going to prove impossible. Ultimately, the most meaningful measure of a site or service is its profitability, which, unlike page views or time spent, isn't so easily gamed.

Why either-or?If I am evaluating a site (or anything else) a single metric will rarely if ever give me a realistic picture of success.
Humans have excess enthusaism for "the best" without saying "for what purpose".
Ryan, 10 Jul 2007 @ 9:30am
what about visitors?Why not just use visitors? Whenever I've tried to buy or sell a website, people only want to know two things:
Monthly unique visitors
Monthly Net Profit.
Joel Coehoorn, 10 Jul 2007 @ 9:30amNeilson ratings are used by advertisers to determine what rates they will pay to what sites. If your site isn't interested in selling ads, or if you use a business model that cuts Nielson out by selling limited text-only ads like Google, than it doesn't really matter how Nielson rates you.
Advertisers seem to be hung up on the idea that internet ads need to turn into an instant sale. Certainly the internet makes that possible in many circumstances, but I think this is a bad idea. An internet ad needs to be viewed more like a billboard placed next to a freeway, where the goal is often to build brand recognition or just plant a seed for a later sale. Anything more aggressive and you just annoy people. If someone clicks an ad then great- maybe pay bonuses for 'clicks' and 'actions', but a single view like a motorist driving past a billboard on the interstate should be the baseline.

Absurd?"Google is incredibly profitable and successful, precisely because it does a good job of whisking users away to other sites, either through ads or its search results. The idea of penalizing it because users don't spend a lot of time on the site is absurd."
Actually, that makes a lot of sense. If a user breezes through a page, an ad is less likely to catch someones attention.
Google *is* a bit different, though, in that the ad may be exactly what the person was looking for, but if it's not they may not even notice it. A better metric would be click-through rates, or click-through-and-buy rates, of course.
Tony, 10 Jul 2007 @ 9:56am
Not so absurdWell if they are going o base the ratings on time, I think it could just work.
For example x amout of users spend x amout of time at google versus yahoo...
or x amout of users spend x amout of time at myspace versus facebook.
It obviosly makes no sense to compare search engine to social network as it is said in the article. However with time you can get a really accurate system for rating groups of websites instead of every website.
Tony, 10 Jul 2007 @ 9:58am
damni misspelled 'to' by the way :(
CodeMaster2, 10 Jul 2007 @ 10:20amHere's an absolutely crazy idea for measuring websites:
Unique Visitors.
Buzz, 10 Jul 2007 @ 10:37am
LOLThey should rank sites based on who has the smallest HTML file sizes. ^_^
Mr. Vage, 10 Jul 2007 @ 10:53am
Re: LOLThen we'd see more of those crappy all Flash sites. All that's in the HTML is an embed tag.
Matt Bennett, 10 Jul 2007 @ 10:44amJoe, you speak as if the "measuring the worth" of a site via Nielsen ratings is somewhat important. It's not. Nielsen ratings are a tool for advertisers to judge how ell their money is spent on none-click through ads, nothing else. Citizens bank homepage does not care, it is there to serve bank customers, not place ads. Google does not care, they have a bidding system, and their users can directly measure effectiveness through the quality of leads they get thru click-thrus, the only thing they pay for.
OKVol, 10 Jul 2007 @ 11:47am
I call BS on this one tooPage views - too easily spoofed.
Time viewing site? - HTML is connectionless, Google downloads quickly being lean and looks bad. And, if you are still using dial-up, you spend forever waiting on YouTube. How is Neilson going to see that I may be waiting on a page to load in one tab, downloading a second, and looking at a third?
Neilson is getting to be more and more irrelevant. They seem to be spending most of their time proving that they are relavent.

And still moreWe use a proxy here that caches the web sites, and updates the cache automatically for many sites that are frequently hit. So, 10 people could look like one, or the cache could be updating when no one is hitting the site.
And, so many sites are coding themselves with specific cookies for tracking that my hit rates on the cache are going down.
JOHN DOE, 10 Jul 2007 @ 5:20pm
WHY NOT OFFER BOTH ...Serious, why would I use a company that only offers one why smaller better companies like hitwise offer more.....
Ambrose, 11 Jul 2007 @ 12:53am
Two pointsIf they're going to measure sites by time spent there, they need two completely opposing scales: for search engine websites, LESS time means you're better. For most other sites it's the other way around.
And you know what? There is still such a thing as public service broadcasting! Maybe not so much in the USA but it makes me sad to see anyone say "all TV shows have the same purpose: to sell ads". They do have ratings for the BBC in the UK, strangely, despite there being no ads at all on the BBC...

Japanese man climbs all world's 14 tallest peaks
KATMANDU, Nepal – A Japanese mountaineer who was nearly killed by an avalanche in 2007 finished a climb in Nepal last month that made him his country's first person to scale the world's 14 tallest mountains.
"I have always wanted to climb mountains as long as I remember," Hirotaka Takeuchi said Monday in Katmandu. "It was always my childhood dream to scale high peaks."
The Nepal Mountaineering Association said Takeuchi scaled the 8,167-meter-high (26,788-foot-high) Mount Dhaulagiri on May 26 to finish his 17-year mission.
All the top 14 peaks — including Everest, K2 and Kanchenjunga — are in the Himalayan or Karakoram ranges of Asia. Takeuchi is the 30th person to climb all 14 and the first climber from Japan, association official Deebash Bikram Shah said.
Takeuchi plans to return to the Himalayas to climb another peak next year. "I will continue to climb as long as my body will allow me," he said.
Takeuchi's mission almost ended in 2007 when an avalanche on Mount Gashabrum swept him some 300 meters (1,000 feet) and buried him completely in snow. Two German climbers were killed in the avalanche, and a third was injured badly. Takeuchi was dug out by other mountaineers and rescued by helicopter.

More trash to get off the streets
Lock them up and throw the key down the chimney
#3 Feb 17, 2006
in liverpool people who scam the elderly get a jolly good thrashing
#4 Feb 21, 2006
, I am tired of hearing about the elderly being scammed if they are not competent to make basic decisions they should not be left unassisted, Where are there family's, usually waiting for the lawyers call and what there going to get
#5 Feb 21, 2006
Yeah - those incompetent old folks should just be put away somewhere so that they don't get you scamming scum in trouble. Lovely logic you got there pal.....
#6 Feb 24, 2006
The owner should be held fully responsible b/c he obviously isn't dealing with a full deck. If his workers were unaware then it wasn't their fault. I've been following this story and this owner guy is a WACK JOB LOSER! He lets his dog loose on a cop, come on give me a break, MORON! I hope the owner guy gets his chimney swept, lol! If the workers did know then they are losers as well! Good Job to the Conneticut cops & Long Island cops for catching these dirtbags! Anyone can be scammed by chimney companies, not just the elderly, thats just who they happened to target. So leave the damn elderly alone!
#7 Mar 14, 2006
It doesn't matter if your elderly or not, a scam should not be tolerated, maybe you did not understand my comment, why are incompetent elderly folks left alone to get scammed, Your mom or dad raise you, care for you and then they get old and you don't take care of them, because if you did scamming the elderly would not be so easy or common place. I think the scammers should be locked up in the same cell with the people who don't take care of there elderly relatives and allow them to be scammed. Stop waiting for a check, that is a scam in itself no matter what you tell yourself to get to sleep at night. Do you understand the logic now or do i have to use smaller words.
#8 Mar 14, 2006
Anyone who thinks they can get a honest chimney sweep for $20 deserves to be scammed I mean really would you go to someones house climb on their roof and sweep their chimney then suck out all the soot ,pay for advertizing ,and insurance etc all for $20 I don`t think so.When in need of chimney work only use C.S.I.A certified sweeps to insure professional service.
#9 Mar 15, 2006
I take an exception that anyone can be scammed by chimney companies. There is only 1 reason that these type of chimney companies are still around, and thats because people like to think that they can get their chimney cleaned for $20.00 rather then the $125.00 a legitimate chimney company charges! You might be asking yourself what qualifies me to make this comment? Oh, I dont know, it could be half the calls I get on a daily basis asking me "how much for a chimney cleaning?" ($125.00) and their responses are "Oh, I saw it for $20.00 or $30.00, but thanks anyway." YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, ESPECIALLY IN THIS BUSINESS! Everyone complains "Get those chimney scammers in jail!" and on the same token they are the same people trying to save a buck and feeding the machine. Just a note from a legitimate chimney profesional. Don't accept phone solitications. Check with consumer affairs about a companys record. Check to see if they have any CSIA & NFI certified technicians on staff and if the chimney cleaning cost's less than $90.00, you are most definitley going to get scammed because you can not make a dime doing chimney cleaning for anything less...Think about it....With the price of gas and insurance these days, would YOU carry a heavy ladder, and tools up a sometimes snowy and icy roof, sometimes risking your life for $20 bucks?????? Thats the scam, and you people keep asking for more by letting those crooks into your home for a "$20.00 chimney cleaning".
#10 Mar 24, 2006
HAHA Long Island police is the biggest scam going.....Noone investigates them until someone retires with $500,000 in owed vacation and sick time and a $150,000 pension...give me a break.....then they wonder why Nassau County is broke.....In regards to the chimney co's ..... there are good and there is bad....Like said B4 only use a CSIA certified sweep...
#11 May 26, 2006
NOT TRUE ! Not all chimney companys are out there scaming,I resend the fact of being put into a catagory with crack heads and heroin addicts. It is not impossible to be a low priced sweep,and to do the right thing by all.
#12 May 26, 2006
#14 May 26, 2006
I don't think berating anyone who has been ripped off is the answer. There must be some way to catch these guys? I just saw an episode of Help Me Howard, and before that didn't think that I was ripped off, now I'm pretty sure I was. All we wanted was a safe situation for our family. I wish I knew where to turn now? Any suggestions? By the way, I think it is totally disgusting for these creeps to take advantage of new homeowners, the elderly and those new to the country. How was I to know?
#15 May 26, 2006
How do you think you can tell people honestly that you can come to there house do a proper chimney cleaning and on top of that inspect there chimney for $29.00, lets face it you cant make a penny and are in the hole before you even start your day, With the cost of gas, vehicle (maintence, repair, payments), Advertising, Insurance, Payroll, Tools and supplies, Rent and office cost's, Licensing, continued education costs and more just to name a few. The scam Cliff Kearns that you perpetrate is to offer a low price chimney cleaning that you cant possibly make money on to get your foot in the door and sell alot of products and repairs that may or may not be needed. I also think its funny that you refer to drug addicts when you have been smoking pot on the job for about 20 years now and have been the subject of many suffolk county consumer affairs stings under other company names that you have owned and worked for, so keep the BS to yourself and do the greater public some good and get a job at Mc Donalds
#16 May 30, 2006
to rip off old people like that you people have no heart and are a bunch off trailer park fagots that never got caught by someone that that has any balls to bust your punk ass faces in, you people are q buch of fools and are so lucky you never got to my grandmother or you would of had to pay the ultimate price a first class as whoppin u a holes
#17 May 31, 2006
Whats a "20 point inspection"? Thats number one on the scam list, along with your $29.99 cleaning. There is no "20, 12, 30 etc." point inspection recognized by any organization or authority. There is however a level one, two and three inspection that is recognized by the NFPA. If you do a 20 point inspection I will do a 35 point 5 dull point and one upside down point for only $15 dollars if you act now. Its pretty funny how you lie to your self and act like your telling the truth and dont know your scaming people.
#18 Jun 9, 2006
29.95????????? I started sweeping chimneys 25 years ago and back then I charged 60.00 I now charge 155.00 and I'm considered low by national standards. A CSIA, NFI or FIRE Certified Chimney Sweep should have no problem getting that price.
#19 Jun 15, 2006
I was scammed! WATCH OUT for SAFE N CLEAN
STEVEN SUNDQUIST is the scumbag. There is a warrant out for his arrest in CT already. I'm told this guy follows the real estate market and they called and told me that they had serviced my house every yr. and it was time for my annual cleaning and I FELL FOR IT!!! Call Department of Consumer Protection because there are dectives that are trying to stop these people. In the meantime...he might want to hide his family and watch his kneecaps! hehehe
#20 Jul 6, 2006
I have a company and we just started this year and it's a hard business and I've seen how dirty this business is. If you go around scamming people you are really just cheating yourself.So start slow and get everything you need to be in business properly and legally,If you don't do this you will be in trouble.
#21 Jul 8, 2006
If old folks were not left alone so much to fin for themself, maybe there would be no need for scam artist to come around. When the work needs done, they must depend on outside help, and pray the contractors are honest. Don't slam the old, give them a hand.
#22 Jul 30, 2006
the csia,is bull,you pay dues to these people.most of the chimney thiefs belong to these type of things.BBB,CHIMNEY GUILD,CSIA,ECT.TELLING PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH THE CHIMNEY COMPANYS THAT BELONG IS TELLING THEM TO GET RIPPED OFF.

Christmas tree free holidays
We decided not to buy a Christmas tree this year but to come up with an alternative.
And this is what our alternative tree looks like: white semi-sparkly (semi because about 50% of the sparkles rubbed off already, but wiping down sparkles is nothing compared to cleaning up pine needles...) branches picture (store bought, which is silly, I know, but we have no garden and I can't myself running through Paris with pruning shears without getting myself into trouble).
We decorated our branches with homemade salt dough ornaments. The idea for the salt dough ornaments I got here. They were fun to make and cost next to nothing. A fun detail: we only had organic flour, which makes these ornaments totally ORGANIC! How about that?!
We used cookie cutters, red inked stamps and lace for the decoration of the ornaments and my favorite divine baker's twine for hanging them.
The pictures are of poor quality because they were shot at night and I still hate using a flash. They're not crisp and sharp as usual but a little blur suits the subject, I thought...

CHAPEL HILL � The North Carolina men�s lacrosse team ended a 16-year drought by winning the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament with a 16-13 victory against Virginia on Sunday at Kenan Stadium.
It�s the eighth conference tournament championship for North Carolina, but first since 1996. The Tar Heels won seven of the eight tournament championships, with the format starting in 1989.
Davey Emala led North Carolina (12-3) with four goals and Chad Tutton added three goals. Contributing two goals apiece were Jimmy Bitter, Steve Pontrello and R.G. Keenan.
Senior Marcus Holman recorded five assists for the Tar Heels, making him the program�s all-time leading scorer with 207 career points. He was named the tournament�s Most Valuable Player.
The Tar Heels won their ninth straight game and set an ACC Tournament scoring record with 34 goals in two games.
North Carolina freshman goalkeeper Kieran Burke made 17 saves, 12 of which came in the second half. His effort helped the Tar Heels maintain at least a two-goal lead for most of the game, as Virginia never came closer than a two-goal deficit for the second half.
Matt White tied a record for an ACC Tournament game with seven goals � five of which came in the second half � for Virginia (7-8). Nick O�Reilly tallied seven assists to set a new championship game record.
Women�s lacrosse
Maryland stormed past North Carolina 12-8 in the ACC Tournament final at Fetzer Field.
Maryland (19-0) used a 10-1 burst during a span of about 24 minutes than ended the first half and began the second half. It turned what was a 3-2 lead for North Carolina into a 12-4 deficit with 14:06 left.
The Tar Heels� Abbey Friend answered Maryland�s run with three straight goals � part of a four-goal game � in less than three minutes. But North Carolina (14-3) only managed one goal in the last 10 minutes to fall short of a comeback.
Friend was the only Tar Heel to score multiple goals, as Kara Cannizzaro, Emily Garrity, Aly Messinger and Brittney Coppa also notched goals.
Maryland was led by three-goal games for Brooke Griffin, Beth Glaros and Taylor Cummings.

A Buxton man damaged a roof in anger, after an argument with his ex-girlfriend, a court heard.
Lee Seddon admitted breaking roof tiles of a flat belonging to Stephen Coates on Hardwick Mount, in Buxton, on May 19.
The 22-year-old was sentenced at High Peak Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Police were called to the incident at about 11am after receiving reports of a man shouting in the street.
At interview, the defendant, of Burlow Road, admitted he had consumed alcohol and had lashed out because he had fallen out with his ex-girlfriend on the phone.
Prosecutor John Cooper said: "He kicked a wall and hit slate tiles while having a tantrum. He received a cut on his hand." The court heard he did have a number of previous convictions.
Karina Lyon, defending, said her client had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
Chairman of the bench Neil Broadbent sentenced Seddon to a six-month conditional discharge and ordered him to pay £65 compensation, £85 court costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.—John 1:12-13
There is another and worse evil which springs from this basic failure to grasp the radical difference between the natures of the two worlds. It is the habit of languidly "accepting" salvation as if it were a small matter and one wholly in our hands. Men are exhorted to think things over and "decide" for Christ, and in some places one day each year is set aside as "Decision Day," at which time people are expected to condescend to grant Christ the right to save them, a right which they have obviously refused Him up to that time. Christ is thus made to stand again before men's judgment seat; He is made to wait upon the pleasure of the individual, and after long and humble waiting is either turned away or patronizingly admitted. By a complete misunderstanding of the noble and true doctrine of the freedom of the human will salvation is made to depend perilously upon the will of man instead of upon the will of God.
However deep the mystery, however many the paradoxes involved, it is still true that men become saints not at their own whim but by sovereign calling. The Pursuit of Man, pp. 37-38
"Sovereign God, I'm Your servant. I'll share the message, I'll pray for response, but only You can draw an unsaved person to faith in Christ. Thank You for the privilege of having even a small part in Your sovereign work. Amen."
