Birds on The Wires | Song composed by birds

Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn’t the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.

Beautiful!

Obama says wash your hands and be careful about what you post on Facebook

excerpt from President Obama's speech to school kids:

"Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter."

excerpt from President Obama's conversation with students today:

STUDENT: Is there any advice you can give me, or career paths that I — things I need to know?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, let me give you some very practical tips. (Laughter.) First of all, I want everybody here to be careful about what you post on Facebook — (laughter) — because in the YouTube age, whatever you do, it will be pulled up again later somewhere in your life. And when you're young, you make mistakes and you do some stupid stuff. And I've been hearing a lot about young people who — you know, they're posting stuff on Facebook, and then suddenly they go apply for a job and somebody has done a search and — so that's some practical political advice for you right there. (Laughter.)

Excellent advice :).

10 Web Design Rules That You Can Break (Rule #10: Don’t use Tables) | Webdesigner Depot

Rule #10: Don’t use Tables

Any web designer who uses tables in their designs will instantly be called a rookie by experienced designers. Tables don’t display the same in all browsers, and they can make the source code look messy, but at the very least you’ll know what you’re getting with them. Here are some examples of designs that incorporate tables.

This table is slightly hard to see but is tucked in there between the two chairs. It’s a nice little side table but sadly doesn’t contribute much to this site’s design.

Abba Salon

Tables are way in the background of this design on Work at Play, but they keep the workers’ laptops and other items within easy reach. Without these tables, the room would feel much emptier, and the background photo wouldn’t have the same effect.

Work At Play

Although this design mostly features chairs, a nice little table appears in the top-right of the thumbnail. Looks like a pot is sitting on it.

Fiberon Decking

As far as designs with tables go, this is one of the best. With two tables featured in this Flash animation, the design gives them a lot of attention. This site should be on every designer’s list of great designs that use tables.

Hello

Please forgive me if this annoy you; i probably don't know you and i'm
sending you an e-mail. I couldn't think something better. This isn't to
sell you someting or for publicity. And i won't send you another. It's
just to inform you about things of the reality that are happening and
if interest you to ask you for an idea.
This mail is caused by the pain i'm living. I think i'm being destroyed
by the mafia power that want to take the world for themselves.
And like me i guess all are defenseless forehead this thing, because
the way that they use to do they purpose are implicit and you can't
fight them with the law because nothing can be probed.
The worst of all, besides of change the way of be of my family, friends
and neighbors is the damage of my healt, i loose memory, sleep very bad
and loosing my shight and personality among other things.
I gues they can use occult things of nature like black magic.
…Really although there is more than 10 years that i discoverded this
"mafia power" i couldn't understand what's really going on. But may be
a sinister control plan.
This are some of the things they can do:
Provoke traffic accidents.
Wash your brain, make you feel thing that aren't from your personality; "injected feelings".
Invade your private life. Read your thinkings.
Convert yourself in a autistic. Making you feel spiritual solitude.
Manipulate you with his "camouflage weapons": blue lights (and maybe
other colors too) in cars, phones, computers. Strange things in food
and other things that i don't know what really do but seems to go
across air and from people to people. Also there's something in
building materials and gasoline. In the smoke, the breath, the
dentifrice, perfume, cigarettes, the sex.
They use communication means to make his purposes, they can send "codified messages"
Use against you persons that make they volition and are in the police
or the army and have too "camouflage weapons" in cars, handys and
lights; that can dry your head or make you forious, among other things.
They can make you feel cold and keep you awake in night.
Rape you.
Intoxicate you.
I would like to attach an idea to fight this, but i can't the situation is exceeding me.
If anyone feel interested by this and want to tell me something it will be very welcome.

I need this. lol
