happy 2nd birthday, summer love.
oh honey, you're two. two. two. it's been so long since i've written a post - not because these aren't important to me, but because it's been a whirlwind adventure around here. we've done so much in the last year - built a house, sold a house, moved, had a super fun and HOT summer, and as of today, you started at a new school with your brother. life is really good, my love.
you are seriously fantastic. you are small and strong. so tough. you put up and keep up with your big brother constantly. you're talking and almost saying more than a couple of words at a time. some of my favorites - "me now?" "me go?" "da-eee go?" "here y'g!o!"
your hair. it's growing, and blowing sweet cheeks. you've got the best side bangs going on, and as of this week, we're able to do pig tails. you rock these bows too - it's really too much. your smile. it's contagious. you have the most amazing face. so bright, and full of life. you are a constant reminder of independence. you always want to try something on your own. whatever it is - the stairs, washing hands, putting on your shoes, taking off your clothes, trying on every skirt in your drawer. you will do it on your own.
peeeeees? this is what you say whenever you think someone has to or is going to the bathroom. you try to go, always without luck - but the effort is adorable.
you do a lot of hugging and kissing - whenever i leave in the morning you give me a (few several) kisses on the lips (like, really good smooches) and a hug (a super burly one -- very tight squeeze) and a rigorous couple dozen waves goodbye. it's perfect. you always hug wyatt goodnight now, and it's kind of a game - you'll run the hallway between your room and his and hug and kiss him. i love when i get to put you down (daddy usually wins if he's home). we'll sing "wheels on the bus", and before i even get to "round and round" you stop me - "noooo" and ask me to sing "twinkle twinkle". i usually crawl down to where you are laying and pretend to kiss you through the bars of your crib and you hysterically laugh. there must be something about seeing me that way. you love it. i know you have your own little night night routine with your daddy too.
speaking of daddy. hello, obsessed. you really are. he is your dude. "my da-eee" comes out a lot. i joke sometimes that it hurts my feelings that you don't love me as much, but the reality is i wouldn't have it any other way. i love that you have such a special bond with him. it's all i ever really wanted for you both. he'd do anything for you. it's so so so important that you know how to be loved by a man. this, my love, is it. unconditional, everything, love.
you are cool. i was talking to gramma the other night and this is how i explained you. you're just cool. you are confident, and funny, and so incredibly smart. you'll try anything for a laugh, and have an infectious sense of humor. you stick up for yourself, tough cookie. never ever, ever stop.
your birthday snuck up on me this year. another year passed so fast. and sometimes i catch myself thinking - you're ONLY two? not just because you're so ahead of the curve (no bias here), but because it's so hard for me to think you've only been here with us two years. you are what i always imagined for our family. i look back on all of my earlier posts about you and to you, and it's so funny to read them - despite barely knowing you then, it's like you've always been the person you are today. even as a toothless, bald, mute, infant.
happiest of birthdays, summer james. until next year. because 3 rocks (and kills). just ask your brother.

The Finish Line
The earth is warm next to my ear
Insect noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear
A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and ticker tape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch
Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A sad parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Bluest seas, running to them
I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I'll hear my name and I'll wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want
(The Finish Line – Snow Patrol)
1 year later.
As a mother and a grandmother I cannot tell you the tremendous amount of pride I feel now as I look upon my family. We are not conventional, we certainly aren't practical but we are perfect.
I snuggle into Edwards arms knowing he and I are sharing the same thoughts. I look at my children and my grandchild and now that if I could I would cry tears of joy.
Elisa was a proud mother something she seemed to do as naturally as Esme. She held little Alisha in her arms as she slept soundly; wrapped around them both was the ever proud husband and father Adrian. They sat among the flowers of the meadow and near them Uri and Beth concentrated on building a kite for Uri's little sister Kyra. Uri's hand securely round Beth's waist as she accidently set fire to the kite.
Kyra laughed as the kite took to the air on fire; Jay flew up to get the thing and without looking Elisa put the thing out drowning Jay with water. I could feel Edwards chuckling through my back.
Jay my boy stood handsomely in the middle of the meadow wings outstretched.
"hey fly boy" called a voice and we turned to look at the vaster.
Leah stood looking no older than 18 dark hair blowing in the wind. She was a different Leah to the one that we had known all those years ago. Years searching out new packs had filled her with joy and peace with herself. She hadn't aged physically but mentally she was an accomplished woman.
Jay loved her dearly and although at first we had been unsure about the age difference, we realised that only someone who was as old in mind as our boy would make him happy. After all Leah had become a teenager again after meeting Jay, she'd let go of the past and become someone who was ready to start living for her future.
He kissed her hiding them by wrapping his wings round them.
"I missed you" he whispered.
I smiled things hadn't turned out the way we had planned. Elisa had been kidnapped, then escaped only to find she had repeated what her mother had done before her. It was by no means a mistake everything had happened for a reason. This wasn't the perfect little future I had pictured when I was walking down that isle all those years ago.
This was so much better.
An: Thank you so much again. please review and let me know what you think of the ending :) xxx

The San Antonio Spurs gave recuperating coach Gregg Popovich a welcome return to the sidelines on Wednesday by romping to a ninth consecutive win with a 102-78 thumping of the Charlotte Bobcats.
Popovich had missed the last three games through illness and despite the absence of big man Tim Duncan for a fourth straight contest with a knee injury, the NBA-leading Spurs were far too strong for the Bobcats.
Tony Parker stepped in to fill the void left by Duncan and recorded 22 points with seven assists, as Kawhi Leonard added 18 points to help San Antonio cruise to another comfortable win at home, where they are 21-2 this season.
The Spurs (37-11) set the tone for an easy night's work when they opened the game with an 8-0 run and never fell behind.
San Antonio enjoyed a typically efficient shooting performance with an impressive 55 percent success rate from the field, including 9-of-16 from three-point range.
Ramon Sessions scored 20 off the bench to pace the Bobcats (11-34), who lost for the 10th time in 12 games.

At a dinner party, flambe offers a dramatic presentation. The term "flambe" means "flaming" or "flamed." Cooking foods flambe adds the rich, complex flavor of a liquor without adding any alcohol -- it is burned off in the cooking process. Though certain safety precautions are required, with a little practice, almost anyone can learn how to flambe. Remember to use extreme caution when cooking flambe due to the open flames. Do not use liquors that are higher than 80-proof to flambe. They can be volatile and dangerous.
Things You'll Need
- Flambe pan with lid
- Flame source, such as long, fireplace matches or a propane gas torch
- Brandy or 80-proof liquor
Heat the brandy, liquor or liqueur in a saucepan until it is just boiling around the edges. You can also heat it in a microwave; 30-45 seconds in a microwave-safe dish at 100 percent power.
Heat the foods you want to flambe in a deep, round, long-handled pan. Cooking times vary depending on the recipe.
Remove the pan from heat and carefully add the liquor. Make sure it's not close to an open flame source as this can cause an explosion.
Place the pan back on the heat and light the fumes of the liquor at the edge of the pan with a long wooden match. Get flames going as soon as possible after adding the liquor, as prolonged exposure to alcohol can damage the flavor of your dish.
Shake the pan back and forth until all of the flames have died out. At this point you will have gained the delicious flavor of the brandy or liquor, but without the alcohol, which will have burned off. Serve the dish immediately.
Tips & Warnings
- Select a brandy, liquor or liqueur that has a flavor complementary to the food you are cooking.
- If you don't want to use liquor in your cooking, place sugar cubes soaked in a flavored extract along the edges of the pan and ignite.
- Before you light it, heat the food that you want to flambe. Cold foods can cool down the warm liquor and make it difficult to light.
- Do not carry the flaming pan. Do not lean over the pan as you light it.
- Do not pour the liquor directly into the pan from the bottle if it is near an open flame. The flame can travel up into the bottle and cause it to explode.
- Propane gas torches are highly flammable and should be kept away from heat or flame and should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Monday, Dec 02,2002 5:46 AM
There could be a ray of hope in sight for the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, if the October 2002 ORG-MARG retail audit figures are anything to go by.
Toilet soaps, the largest contributor to FMCG, which faced a slowdown by registering negative growth in the last 1-2 years, has finally turned the corner in October. While the overall Rs 3,500 crore (in October 2002) FMCG industry grew by 3.2 per cent, toilet soaps registered a 0.7 per cent value growth — which the industry feels is a healthy sign.
According to industry analysts, this is due to the general feel-good factor, slightly better economic indices and innovative new products.
Hindustan Lever Ltd (HLL), the market leader in toilet soaps, say analysts, would benefit if the revival continues in the months ahead. HLL's market share in toilet soaps stood at 60 per cent in value in the month of October. Nirma's share was 11.5 per cent, while Godrej's share was 5.9 per cent.
According to industry sources new launches and innovations could have led to the turnaround in the toilet soap category.
Analysts feel that HLL, which has been impacted by a slowdown in its topline growth, would register better sales in October. However, a decline in the tea industry sales, and slowdown in food products like vanaspati/edible oils could come as a dampener. HLL draws almost 40 per cent of its turnover from soaps and detergents (Rs 4,284.76 crore in 2001), while tea contributes 10 per cent. HLL, which registered a 3.53 per cent in net profit at Rs 413.29 crore for the second quarter ended September 30, 2002, posted a net sales decline of 7.20 per cent to Rs 2,367.46 crore during the quarter. However, the company's soaps and detergents business grew by 2.8 per cent led by a strong personal wash growth of 11.1 per cent. Another category in FMCG, which has come back on the growth path is household insecticides. This category had suffered a growth slowdown of about 6-7 per cent last year. It is now growing at 20 per cent.

The next thing we started using Wdesk for was our Annual Statement footnotes. Depending on which reporting cycle it is we can go in and make quick updates, input our data, and instead of having to reformat everything it's effectively all there for us—and it looks nice.
You don't have to worry about merging or keeping the document up-to-date because when you open it, you know it's current.
Wdesk gives me more time to focus on the substance of the reports.
I'll have 75 people in the document making comments from about 35 different departments, including our external auditors and attorneys. It's great not having to read everyone's handwriting. I'm able to make sure I can address all of the comments that are made and have a back-and-forth discussion on them.
We actually use Wdesk for documents that we don't even file—like a big memo that needs to be written—because you have the ability to let multiple people in the document at the same time. We actually set that up in Wdesk—we just print it out and sign off as opposed to filing it.

The contract with your brokerage firm will outline whether your broker has discretionary authority over your account (i.e., the ability to make transaction in your account without your "final say"). However, you should not give (or have given) your broker discretionary authority unless you are thoroughly familiar with the risks involved in this type of broker-customer relationship. For more information, visit the SEC website here: http://www.sec.gov/answers/openaccount.htm. You should consult with an experienced securities lawyer. For more information about securities claims, visit my firm's website here: http://www.erlitigators.com/what/investment-loss-recovery/.
Most securities lawyers will review your claim for free, and if a case exists, represent the customer on a contingency fee basis (e.g., one third to forty percent of the recovery, plus costs advanced). You should act swiftly because as with any lawsuit, you have a limited amount of time to assert a claim.Ask a similar question

Soviet Pledges Independent Pullout From Afghanistan
By BILL KELLER, Special to the New York Times
Published: March 18, 1988
MOSCOW, March 17— A Soviet spokesman said today that the Soviet Union would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan independently, even if negotiators in Geneva fail to agree on conditions for ending the war.
Vadim Perfilyev, a spokesman for the Soviet Foreign Ministry, said at a news briefing that Soviet leaders would still prefer to remove their 115,000 soldiers under terms of an international agreement.
But if the impasse in the Geneva talks continued, he said, ''the withdrawal of Soviet troops will be carried out in some other way.''
According to Western diplomats, senior Soviet officials have made similar declarations in high-level meetings with American counterparts during the last few weeks. Its Public Position
But in public, the Kremlin has maintained that withdrawal depended on a Geneva accord that would include American and Pakistani cooperation in a mutual end to the fighting.
Mr. Perfilyev's statement seemed to contradict another Soviet statement, made just two days ago, when Moscow announced that it would delay its troop withdrawal because of the deadlock. Mikhail S. Gorbachev said in a speech in February that the Soviet Union was prepared to begin bringing its troops home May 15 if negotiators could reach accord in Geneva by March 15.
Western diplomats said tonight that the Soviet promise of unilateral withdrawal may be a tactical move, intended to apply pressure on the United States and Pakistan to break the impasse in Geneva.
According to this view, Soviet leaders believe the Americans and Pakistanis prefer a negotiated deal, to give them leverage over the timetable of withdrawal and the flow of Soviet arms into Afghanistan afterward. In private meetings, Soviet officials have implied that after a unilateral withdrawal, any blame for an ensuing blood bath would fall on the United States and Pakistan. Sticking Point in Geneva
The greatest sticking point in Geneva is the American insistence that Moscow not only withdraw its forces, but also cut off military assistance to the Afghan Army in symmetry with an American cutoff of aid to the rebels.
Moscow has rejected this demand, saying that it has longstanding commitments to Kabul and that the American demand is a last-minute attempt to scuttle an agreement.
The State Department first made public its demand for an arms cutoff two weeks ago, after the Senate passed a resolution urging the White House to be cautious in ending American aid to the Afghan rebels.
In recent weeks American officials have told their Soviet counterparts that there is ''wide room for compromise'' on this issue, according to one diplomat with knowledge of the situation. But Americans say Soviet officials have been so incensed by the demand that they have refused to hear out specific proposals from the Americans. Meeting With Shevardnadze
On Wednesday Ambassador Jack F. Matlock Jr. of the United States met with Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze in another attempt to press the American case, apparently without success.
One diplomat said tonight that the impasse would be high on the agenda when Mr. Shevardnadze meets Secretary of State George P. Shultz next week in Washington.
In Geneva, negotiators representing the Soviet-backed Afghan Government and Pakistan, which plays host to the rebel leaders, have been at work since 1982 on a formula that would end the conflict, with the Soviet Union and the United States as silent partners.
Moscow has agreed on a nine-month withdrawal, with half of the forces to be pulled out in the first three months. The United States, in turn, would serve as a ''guarantor'' by ending its military aid. Stalled on Aid Cutoff Plan
The negotiations have stalled over the American insistence on a Soviet aid cutoff, and Pakistan's demand that a transition government be set up to oversee the withdrawal. American officials say organizing a transition government is unfeasible, and some predict Pakistan will drop that condition.
Today Mr. Perfilyev again heaped blame on the United States and Pakistan for what he called their ''destructive stand.''
But responding to a question about the Shultz-Shevardnadze meeting, he added:
''The Soviet Union has taken a decision to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. We will certainly pull out our military contingent.
''What we would like is that the withdrawal be part of the package settling the situation relatated to Afghanistan, discussed in Geneva.'' Want to Avoid Humiliation
Mr. Perfilyev gave no indication when or how the Soviet forces would carry out a unilateral withdrawal.
While American diplomats are skeptical that the Soviet side would actually remove their troops without American cooperation, they do not rule it out. Soviet officials have said that they want to avoid the humiliating spectacle of a lingering withdrawal under rebel attack. They sometimes point to the American retreat from Vietnam, with the last Americans hoisted out clinging to the struts of helicopters, as an example of what they want to avoid.

I wonder if there is any add-on enabling 'contents selling' with particular prices based on an user-point system.
I have been using [bd]Banking (by xfrocks) for our forum's user-point system, and HIDE add-ons (by an unknown coder ) to limit contents view.
This HIDE add-on only asks for user to have a specific number of posts or to be included in a specific usergroup to have permission viewing the hidden contents. It might be good enough for some, but I think that another HIDE add-on that asks users to give points to the content's owner to view it would even be better. And, better still if it could integrate with current userpoint systems such as xfcredits and Banking or the likes, that would be great!
Could xfrocks or other make such add-on?
Thank you all for attention. Look forward to hearing good news from you guys soon

Debate Over Redevelopment Heats Up UC Center-Capitol Weekly Conference
The president of the National League of Cities, Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge, gave an impassioned plea to save redevelopment agencies from the fiscal axe wielded by Gov. Jerry Brown, citing the economic stimulus provided by redevelopment. Assm. Chris Norby (R-Brea) characterized those same agencies a scandalous drain on state resources that otherwise could fund schools and social programs.
Those opposing views, echoed by participants on two panels, identified the demarcation line between redevelopment champions and detractors during a half-day conference co-sponsored by UC Center and Capitol Weekly newsletter. The conference, held March 24 at the Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento, drew an audience of more than 100 and provided a strong overview of the debate over redevelopment. In addition to Loveridge and Norby, panelists included Chris McKenzie, executive director of the California League of Cities; Julie Spezia, executive director of Housing California; Carroll Wills, communications director for the California Professional Firefighters; Mike Madrid, a consultant who works on behalf of redevelopment agencies; Marianne O'Malley from the Legislative Analyst's Office; and Steve Shea, budget advisor to Senate Pres. pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.
Ventura Mayor William Fulton, an author and publisher of the California Planning & Development Report, delivered a keynote speech over lunch. Fulton's pointed message to fellow city officials: get ready for the end of redevelopment as you've known it. The panels were moderated by Los Angeles Times reporter Anthony York and KQED Radio reporter John Myers.
The conference marked the second half-day event co-sponsored by the Center and Weekly. Last November, the two paired up for an election post-mortem, also held at the Crest. Additional conferences are being discussed for summer.

|Name in Kyrgyz:
|Арстанбап токой
|Dominant species:
|walnut Juglans regia
|Around 11,000 ha
World's largest walnut forest - Arslanbob Forest - is located in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Each year there are collected some 1,500 tons of walnuts thus making this forest the largest single source of these nuts in the world.
Walnuts (Juglans regia) grow in enormous area from Balkans to southwest China. Since the 17th century it has been introduced in America as well.
Walnut is valuable tree, well known thanks to its beautiful wood and exquisite nuts. This large tree is light demanding and needs full sun and rich soil.
There is not much undergrowth under the tree - its leaves contain juglone, a natural herbicide. As a result groves of walnut are similar to shaded parks.
Walnut is considered to be one of the most valuable temperate hardwoods but even more valuable are nuts. Nuts of this tree have very high quality, oil is richly flavored. Different parts of plant are used in medicine.
History of Arslanbob Forest
According to research data, world's largest walnut forest is not too old. Some 2,000 years ago here were growing other trees - junipers, birch trees, ashes. Enormous forest of walnuts appeared approximately 1,000 years ago.
According to local legends the origin of this forest is linked to Prophet Muhamed. His envoy was searching for paradise on Earth and found one at present-day Arslanbob. This was beautiful valley with crystal-clear stream. Only trees were missing. Thus prophet sent to him a bag of seeds of fruit trees including walnuts. Envoy planted the seeds and tended the garden for many years.
Another story goes further into the past: according to this story the walnut forest was here already in the times of Alexander the Great (the 4th century BC) and Alexander brought a sack of walnuts back, to Greece, thus introducing this tree in Europe.
Research shows that the area of groves in the past was 630,900 ha (now - some 11,000 ha). Overexploitation, especially grazing has led to decrease of forest area.
In 1945 here was organized forest research station with an aim to establish commercial plantations and to increase yields.
Arslanbob Forest today
This unique forest - orchard grows on the south-facing slopes of Fergana range's, at the height of some 1,500 - 2,000 m. Down in the valley is located the small town of Arslanbob which in many ways depends on this forest. Not too far is located another large walnut forest - Dashman Forest Reserve.
Trees in Arslanbob forest grow up to 150 - 200 years old creating an impressive fairy-tale landscape of an endless, shady orchard. This forest is divided among the families of local people. In every time of the year this is an impressive, interesting place to visit. Here are found natural and man-made landmarks, such as several impressive waterfalls (two best known falls are 80 m and 23 m tall), sacred caves.
Of course, most interesting time is autumn when trees bring fruits. Every year at the mid-September - mid-October all locals get involved in nut collection. Many people stay to live in the forest during this month. Locals recognize that this is the best time of the year when family spends time together, meets with relatives and makes new friends. This is time of festivity and there are many lights in the forest with merry people who spend the long evenings in common feasts.
Walnuts are not the only value in this forest. Here grow many species of valuable fruit-bearing trees, such as specific species of apple (Malus siversiana), pear (Pyrus korshinsky), plum (Prunus sogdiana). Locals eat and collect thousands of tons of apples, pistachios, cherry plums and other fruits.

The Bestri-class, or Scout-class, was a type of scout that was utilized by the Bajorans in the early-to-mid-24th century for scouting and scientific research. This vessel's design was rooted in the ship-building traditions of Bajor. (ST:CCG: Deep Space Nine)
Vessels of this class were considered to be one of the fastest and most reliable designs by the Bajorans. During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor these vessels fell out of use as their parts were scavenged by the Bajoran Resistance to be fitted to more combat-orientated vessels. (ST:CCG: Second Edition)
Despite this, a few of these vessels remained in service in the 2360s and 2370s. In 2369, Tahna Los used a Bestri-class vessel to escape back to Bajor from Cardassian space. Unfortunately, the vessel was destroyed by the Galor-class warship, Aldara, as the ship approached Deep Space 9. (DS9 episode: "Past Prologue", ST:CCG: Deep Space Nine)

By Richard Olson
TO: Bonnie M. Cramer, Board Chair AARP
REF: AARP Webletter of Volume 13, Issue 33 | August 14, 2009
The writer of this article is dead wrong when they say "But much of the debate is being driven by special interests that are deliberately kicking up clouds of dust to obscure the facts".
First, the "final version" of the House or Senate legislation is not yet available and there are many provisions that have been discussed that are parts of the "myths" AARP speaks about. It has been the people's voices that have led to amendments and revisions to eliminate these fears. We the people do not trust Congress or special interest groups like AARP and Unions to our healthcare or companies insuring us.
Second, AARP is one of the largest purveyors of "untruths" concerning Healthcare reform. The article I refer to is insinuating that opponents of the president's reform are "special interests' when we are concerned patriots and senior citizens. An example, the recent AARP TV Ad I saw last night showing a bunch of cars blocking an ambulance is untruthful, it is biased and partisan, and is illegal. It is illegal because AARP is choosing sides and that is not allowed under the rules of IRS guidelines for non-profits.
Third, AARP should endorse several healthcare providers rather than only one. All plans are the same! AARP has a conflict of interest by endorsing only United Health. I subscribed to AARP United health and recently switched to Anthem same plan and reduced my monthly premium by over $60.00. If anything, AARP should not receive a "kickback" on an endorsed provider but should negotiate for a reduced rate for its members.
Fourth, AARP should be advocating changes in laws that reduce the costs such as;
- Institute Torte reform to limit abusive law suits and encourage people to become medical professionals.
- Restrict lobbyists in the Health-care industries from access to and "bribing" our elected representatives. (This was a campaign promise Mr. President!)
- Give equal access and benefits to elected officials and have them become part of the system. (Another campaign promise Mr. President!)
- Take legal action against "bi-partisan non-profit" organizations that use their organizations to profit from healthcare. (AARP)
- Establish / strengthen grants, endowments, scholarships for students willing to enter the medical professional field (Nurses, technicians, surgeons, Doctors) and encourage General Practitioners.
- Establish a reward system to encourage cost control, control of infection, innovative healthcare, and better generic medications.
Finally, many of us seniors are against any program controlled by Congress. My suspicion is that "ObamaCare" will make healthcare providers withdraw so that the legislation will be paid for by all of us paying our premiums to the US Government. "Managed Care" means "limited care based on age and political connection.

21 September 1934, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A graduate in English Literature from McGill and Columbia Universities, Cohen first made an impression as a novelist. The Favorite Game (1963) and Beautiful Losers (1966) offered the mixture of sexual and spiritual longing, despair and black humour, prevalent in his lyrics. Two early songs, Suzanne and Priests, were recorded by folk singer Judy Collins, and the former was also included on Songs Of Leonard Cohen (1967), the artists impressive debut. The weary loneliness portrayed by his intonation was enhanced by the barest of accompaniment, while the literate, if bleak, subject matter endeared the artist to a generation of bedsit singer-songwriter aficionados. The album also featured Sisters Of Mercy and Hey, Thats No Way To Say Goodbye, two haunting compositions destined to become classics of the genre.

Billboards are an effective means of reaching a large audience, but it's important to remember who you are designing for, and the places where the billboard will be. Designing a billboard may seem like an easy marketing task, but a bad design can cost you thousands in lost revenue and will hurt your brand's reputation.
Things You'll Need
- Computer
- Graphic Design Program
Creating a Billboard Design
Examine the location where the billboard will be visible. Whether the board is in Times Square, along a rural highway, or in a crowded train station or bus stop, you will want to design the board to fit the audience, their attention span, and the surroundings.
Determine the size of the billboard you are designing. Boards can come in a variety of sizes and orientations depending on their location. The display size will ultimately drive how you design your board and how much information can be included.
Put together a priority list of what you want to communicate. Billboards along highways are often viewable only for 5 to 7 seconds, so it is important to narrow down the points you want to get across to the viewer. Keep in mind that the most effective boards contain only 6 to 9 words.
Choose your graphics wisely. It's important to include your company's logo, but consider using just the words in block type if your logo includes a decorative, script font. Most billboards also include just one large image. Remember that this image should communicate your brand easily but creatively and should not include any small details that would be difficult to discern in just a few seconds. In the case of electronic billboards, multiple graphics can work if the main elements of the design stay the same.
Choose your call to action. What action do you want your reader to take once they have seen the board? In most cases, billboards are in locations where attention spans are low, so keep your call to action easy to remember.
Check your billboard company for printer specifications. Most billboards are quite large and will require a different file setup than a typical print piece. Save yourself time by making sure you set up the file the right way before laying out the billboard.

The British-Africana empire
The British-Africana empire was established when the British empire and the thirteen colonies managed to successfully gain total control of Africa giving birth to the British-Africana empire.
Due to the French and Indian war Britain was in poor economic status. Rather than taxing the thirteen colonies, Britain decided to raise tax by a reasonable percentage (although most heavily in Quebec as there was a large influx of French citizens living there) thereby becoming economically stable. The British empire, still covering 25% of the globe, started to see rebellion in the African region as they did not lower taxes like they had for all other colonies (apart from Quebec). The British forces quickly crushed the rebellion and in the process gained all of south Africa and was quickly closing in on French territories. In 1790 The British empire had gained control of all territories in Africa. The thirteen colonies spanned across to the west of North America gaining territories.In 1796 Quebec attempted an uprising which was quickly crushed by the thirteen colonies and Canada. The British empire was renamed the British-Africana empire in recognition of their great achievement.
1800s and the division of Europe
Whist the BA empire was growing ever stronger Europe feared what their fate would be. In 1810 a summit that consisted of France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Italy was taken in Paris where the countries chose to unite for protection against the BA empire forming West Europa. Similarly, the Norse summit took place in Stockholm forming the Norse hold from Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The rest of the countries in Europe declared neutrality.
During the age of discovery there was minimal conflicts between countries and this era was known as the eternal peacetime until 1840.
1840 and the Chino struggle
During the age of discovery The first meeting between Asia and the BA empire began. During an expedition from the thirteen colonies the Japanese isles were discovered. What came as more of a shock was a meeting between colonists and Russian diplomats. This became known as the joint discovery. Japan was given industrial help from both Russia and the BA empire. This meeting also acted as a step towards friendship between Russia and the BA empire. In 1863 the Japanese isles were known as the Russo-British isles. The BA empire continued its expedition into Asia capturing Korea, Vietnam and Mongolia.
China was currently at war with Russia until The BA empire gave support to Russia and pushed back the Chinese forces. China became the second split territory between the Russians and BA empire. Russia controlled the north and the BA empire the south. Russia became the Russian empire in 1869.
1880s and Neutralia
West Europa became nervous of the situation in Asia and advised all neutral countries to join West Europa. Czechoslovakia, Austria, Sweden, Hungary, Bosnia, Serbia and Romania heed their warning and join forming the new Europa. The three Baltic states, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine join together to become Neutralia out of their neutrality against the world. Greece calls upon Neutralia as protection against the Ottoman Empire.
1900s and the Ottoman-Greek conflict
The Ottoman empire attacks Greece and land at Crete in 1910. Neutralia instantly provides military help to Greece. Greece is clear of Ottoman troops in 1907. Neutralia, realising they can no longer be neutral join the Norse hold. The Norse hold joins New Europa in 1913 becoming greater Europa. Greece stays neutral.
The World War
Greater Europa gives threats to Russia saying that if they do not join greater Europa and front an all out attack on the BA empire, they will invade. At the same time the Russian socialist revolution was taking place, but was soon crushed by the BA empire. Russia was attacked in May 1920. Russia called upon the BA empire for assistance and in 1921 became part of the BA empire. The BA empire covers the majority of the world and after 10 years of deadly combat between the two sides the BA empire (now named the New World Empire) emerge victorious in 1930.
The Munich treaty
after 500 million deaths in the world war, the Munich Treaty was signed in the occupied base Dutch hold of New Europa, the capital of new Europa. Portugal, Spain and France were given over to the new world empire, Germany became part of the new Norse hold with Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. All other countries were given to the Russian empire.
The Olympic sport and strategy games
After the world war, in 1932 Greece sought to repair broken relations by calling the Athens summit and announcing the Olympic sport and strategy games, or the OSSG.
