Actually, it's much more simple than that. The water background is just from a photograph of my pool. Several of the fonts are from dafont.com & dusk til dawn Edits, text and borders made using The GIMP.

Thanks for all the Mod Congrats everyone!!! We have a great gang of staffers here. I'm glad they invited me to join the party.

A few things I'd recommend for anyone with "the blues", "in a funk", "blah", "depressed" or "irritable". * Get outside in the sunshine, it makes your brain secret the happy juices. * Eat more fruits and veggies, drink more water, take a daily vitamin supplement. * Cut down on the junk food and caloric drinks. * Try keeping a journal. Writing down your feelings is a great release and often leads you to figuring out the root of your troubles. It's like therapy without talking. * Cut out the booze, it will compound the problem since it is a depressant. * Breathe. If you get angered easily, take a deep breath in and exhale it over a 10-second period...BEFORE you respond with anger. * Don't oversleep. Too much sleep can be worse than not enough. * Hang out with happy people...whatever they are doing to stay that way might rub off, or you might find a habit of theirs you can adopt for staying positive. * Do your favorite things. Read your favorite book, watch your favorite movie, go to your favorite place(s). Just some tips, they've all worked for me at one time or another.

Generally speaking, the most common NPC's for herb drops are: * Men and Women * Thugs * Skeletons * Chaos Druids & Warriors * Slayer monsters

Ah yes, how true. McGuff is on the case. :D I guess it's been a while since I tripped on a clue spot I couldn't go to...just the wildy where I DON'T want to go.

* Do you already have cables? I didn't see any on your list. * I'd use four case fans, but my AMD runs hotter. * Also, I might hold off on buying the OS. I just reuse my Win2k OS on new builds. I figure at this point, I'll wait to see what the Vista version is like before I drop any coin on XP. Until then, I'm happy with Win2k. Have fun!

I looked into the IP anonymizers recently but still think that these are the best ways to protect your system: * Keep Windows up to date * Use a hardware and a software firewall * Keep antivirus running and run full system scan regularly * Run Spyware/Adware scans regularly, I use freebies Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy * Clean up cache, cookies, download history, temp files and internet history regularly I hope this helps.

I'm a bit fuzzy about it but I remember losing my key at some point. I believe if you go back to the Captain, and talk to him there should be some option in the dialogue about telling him to fight his own battles.

I always forget which big giant thingy island I'm looking for. This one is Moss Giant Island, West of Brimhaven. You need level 10 agility to use the rope swing to get to the island. Go here for more information: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=coordinates_list.htm

From http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=treasure_trails.htm Chest in Varrock chapel. When you get to the chest, you will see that it's locked, and there will be a message that says "Property of the Clocktower Monastery". Go to the Monastery just Southeast of the Clocktower and kill a monk for the key.

I don't believe there is a benefit to answering quickly. The boxes will stack though if you don't answer fast and you only get one reward. Read more about them here http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=random_events.htm

There isn't a quest to perform, but you do need the equipment. Go here http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=treas ... .htm#coord for more information.

Thanks for the input on the new backgrounds. They are raw at this point, just put a name on to make them "mine" while I work them. Funny thing. The modernish one is cropped from a photo I took on a cruise ship. The theming in the room was fantastic. Those are actually floor lights. The water ones are cropped from pictures of our pool/spa...sans kids.

Got some cooking in. Thanks for all the fish Swampjedi!!! --------------------------------- Miscellania Seed Nest Count: 3 total including... - 2 Apple - 1 Maple

You are too kind SwampJedi. I'm actually just a goob who gets hooked (obsessive) on graphics stuff (other stuff too). I'm loving the "Chronicular" font. :wink:

EDIT: Links appear to be broken. I'm removing thumbnails for now. -------------- I figured it was time to bring this back to life. I've had artist's block for a while but am working to re-inspire myself. The first post is now up-to date with my deviantART page. Overview: My DeviantART pieces thumbnails are grouped together at the top with older miscellaneous pieces and signatures beneath them. My latest fractal toy is Incendia and I hope to learn it's full capabilities. I love to play with new software and certainly want to try new things. It's really just a matter of having the time to focus on it. My signatures/images have predominantly been made using GIMP and Apophysis. If you have a deviantART account and would like to leave comments on any of my pieces, feel free to check out my deviantART Gallery. I'm open to all advice, comments and tips.

Yeah, putting an example of any kind was going to target somebody's important boards. Nothing personal. :wink:

On the index page, it would be nice to be able to [+]Expand and [-]Collapse the categorical forum lists. For example, if I want to hide all topics related to "ARENAscape", I would click on a [-] function to hide the subtopics from my main page. I'd be able to do this for each category only the forums I want to browse are expanded. Currently, you can narrow your view to topic-specific catagories one-by-one, but not collapse any categories on the index page. Comments?
