It has been brought to my attention that members are becoming frustrated with the size and number of thumbnails appearing on some posts. Some say it slows load time, others don't want their friends page eaten, and some just want posts to look a bit more tidy. To resolve the issues I'm going to start enforcing a simple thumbnail rule from this post on.
Thumbnail/Preview Image Rule
1. Thumbnail images are to be no larger than 300px wide and 200px tall (Do not "resize" an 800x600 image using html, make an actual thumbnail image please!)
2. A maximum of two thumbnail images are permitted above an lj cut.
Previous posts do not have to be updated with new images, unless you really want to. Also this rule does apply to all posts whether it's layouts, twitter backgrounds, profile codes, or resources. If you have any questions feel free to ask, and as always if you have any compliments or complaints send them to me via PM. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
PS-> Oh and sorry for the lack of updates and slow responses, grad school has been keeping me busy! | |

between Abbie being sick, and my laptop being out of commission, I feel like I haven't posted in years :( But Abbie is on the mend and back in school and only one of her teacher's is being an asshat about making up work, and my laptop is back and has windows 7 and office 2007 in it. Likeing the 7, not so much the office 2007, but i'll get used to it.
Abbie's sitting here working on a literary analysis for Of Mice and Men and she came up with a KILLER intorductory paragraph/thesis statement.
There are many biases and discriminatory features in today’s society. When people think about discrimination, they tend to only comprehend one aspect of this injustice. Racial discrimination is the more prominent component. However, there are other types of discrimination as well as racial discrimination. This type of prejudice has been shown in many forms of writing and books, but this is not a new feature in writing. Many authors have used this component in their writing, including John Steinbeck. John Steinbeck uses the actions, emotions, and lifestyles of his characters to show that the time period in which Of Mice and Men took place was rich with racial, mental health, gender, and social discrimination.
I was going to say I didn't write that well in high school, but hell, I don't write that well now, lol | |

I can't figure out how to download brushes into PS7. After downloading the brush, I unload the zip file to Program Files-->Adobe-->PS7-->Presets-->Brushes. When I do this, sometimes the brushes work, but most often then not, they don't.
Any suggestions? | |

I want to give credit and find out if the maker has any more textures like this one  Any idea? | |

http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-cupcake-bakeries-in-city-more.html At least, that's what the owner of Molly's Cupcakes (home of the famous and quite delicious Ron Bennington cupcake) thinks! See "Cupcakes proves recession-proof, consumers reap benefits" by Christina Lee (there's a video there too) in Medill Reports: “It gets cold and depressing and you want something warm and homemade that makes you feel good,” said Walters. “It’s a self-contained piece of cake. If you buy a whole cake you feel like you waste it or have to eat it all.”
Since Phoebe’s opened in April, Walters placed the daily cupcake sales to range from 500 to 1,500, including catering and single cupcake sales at $2.50 each.
The gourmet elements and presentation have solidified a client base for these shops and possibly added a shield of immunity.
Like virtually all cupcake shops, the Sugar Bliss boutique offers specialty flavors, like orange creamsicle and pumpkin patch, and decorates the frosting in a sugar blossom. The individual morsels are $3.50 each and $1.50 for mini-cupcakes at this downtown store.
“Times are very hard and it’s a great place to come get a designer cupcake” said Pat Williams, a teacher at Phillips Academy High School on Chicago’s South Side, when picking up a pastry from Molly’s Cupcakes in Lincoln Park. “This is a way to relax and not necessarily stress about the economic times and yet get that little piece of luxury that didn’t cost you a lot. I love it.”
As for market saturation, some storeowners are unconcerned and even view more boutiques' opening favorably.
“Everytime a new cupcake place has opened, our sales have gone up,” said John Nicolaides, who owns Molly’s Cupcakes with his brother. “I’ve noticed it because four have opened since we opened and it’s always been positive for us. In some regard, I want another one to open so we can have more sales.” | |

http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2009/11/pittsburghs-dozen-bake-shop-opens-5th.html We'd have let you know if we'd known about this...always great to hear about cupcake bakeries that we saw open keep on doing what they're doing and opening more bakeries! From Pittsburgh Business Times: Dozen Bake Shop kicked off the opening of its fifth area location by giving away mini cupcakes to its first 500 customers.
Aside from cupcakes, the new location, at 1509 E. Carson St. on the South Side, offers quiche, sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, danish, scones, muffins, pumpkin and apple bread, cookies and more.
The shop opened late in the afternoon Thursday, offering 250 mini cupcakes for free, but Friday was the first day with its normal operating hours.  death by chocolate cupcakes photo by Dozen Bake Shop on Facebook | |
