I just discussed the gun control/Connecticut massacre issue with my husband (crazy...I thought we had discussed every issue under the sun in the past 12 years) - his answer was brilliant. We need to have police at every school. He informed me that every Tulsa school entry is guarded by metal detectors and there's a branch of the Tulsa police specifically dedicated to Tulsa Public Schools. Think about it...just about every public event we have in this country is guarded b

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="133" id="3295607"]Can anyone tell me that the Second Amendment is more important than a child's right to grow up?[/quote] That's kind of melodramatic. More children are killed in car accidents than by guns, (as vStyler mentioned much earlier in the thread) but we don't outlaw cars because of it. In a just world, EVERY child would grow up, healthy, happy, loved, provided for -- but we don't live in a just world; there is no such th

I don't have much to add to this discussion, other than I completely agree with anyone who said that the United States needs more mental health facilities and easier access to them. I have no real opinion on the gun control and/or gun ban side of the issue, because I see a direct parallel when you apply that with the drug and/or substance abuse issue (which accounts for huge amounts of people killed in car accidents) -- "banning" something doesn't hit at the heart of the issue -

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="244" id="3291649"] Quoting DrJBHL, reply 217I think I'll do a few shops and call them, "Yule Be Sorry"... or "Yule Laugh". Originally, Xmas was the Saturnalia. So back when it started, the Roamin' (no one would allow him to stay anywhere very long) Emperor Starkerus Fartus Odiferous declared a holiday from curried cabbage ... thus started the whole holly thing. The people were so happy, they made a wreath a

Reply to Windowblinds skin colors in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I can't definitely answer that one with 100% reliability, but from my personal experience as a creator of Windowblind skins, the darker skins get more downloads. I don't let that hinder me, though; if you visit my gallery, you'll see I'm a big fan of color. You can also use Windowblinds, itself, to adjust the color, brightness and saturation of a skin in the Colours tab (video below). You can also add a texture that is a solid color and apply that, to complet

Or just open the file with Windowblinds itself - click the Skin Options button at the top (second from the left), choose Install New, navigate to where you downloaded the .zip, and choose it -- Windowblinds extracts the zip and installs it.

Nobody is guaranteed their life will last more than this moment. How tragic would it be for those coworkers you are worried about, to horde their vacation time because they have inside information they might be let go, and then they get killed in a car accident the day before Christmas? Who is to say, if your coworkers become victims of RIFs, they might not find a better, more enjoyable job because they were forced out of the one they have now? Have a little faith that the p

Uvah - I don't think I'm going to get to the fire for the mantle. My job is offering me overtime for the next week and a half and I'm not in a place in my life where I can turn that down. I'm sorry. You can find the fire tutorial that I was going to use here (in case you want to try it yourself): http://graffiti.hbfx.com/?p=219&lang=ro Instead of saving it as a .GIF, in Photoshop, choose Exp
