MckLinky Blog Hop

Want to join the Adori Graphics team?

Louise from Adori Graphics is searching for a second designer. At the moment she is doing all the work herself. She does amazing job with the blogs. She has designed my beautiful blog and a lot of other blogs, buttons, awards etc. Believe it or not, but she is doing the blog makeovers FREE of charge.

adori

Adori Graphics specialize in producing good quality, free makeovers for authors of Blogger blogs - and also small scale custom jobs (buttons etc) and free backgrounds/headers. An emphasis is placed on encouraging people to use writing/blogging as a form of therapy and make-over requests from such people are treated as a priority and carried out under the name of the sister blog “Write from the heart”.

Louise told me, that even somebody who doesn't really know anything and wants to get trained up would be fine. You just need to have a graphics package that supports layers and also some good design skills. Its not even essential that you know how to install graphics as she can do that until you pick it up. She can provide you with sizes etc so all you'd need to do is design the elements that go into a blog makeover.

She is  more than happy to train somebody up so long as you have at least a basic understanding of how your graphics software works. Its a good opportunity really for somebody who wants to learn more about blog customization or even just learning about project management and deadlines.

The work is on an “as required” basis and would suit a hobbyist or somebody who has a good grounding but is looking to improve their experience. As our service is free to the customer, the work is also unpaid.

If you are interested then please contact her for further details.

The following quotations are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts by Charles M. Sevilla and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were taking place. Regardless of originations, they can be eye openers as to the mentality of those engaged in the drill...

ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?
WITNESS: He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?'
ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?
WITNESS: My name is Susan!
___________________________________________________

ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget.
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
___________________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
___________________________________________________

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ.
___________________________________________________

ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?
___________________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Extreme Makeover

An Angolan advertising agency has given Homer Simpson and his family an African makeover.

The Simpsons, broadcast in more than 90 countries, have always been portrayed as yellow but the advertising agency decided to turn them brown in a promotional video aired by Africa's digital satellite TV service DSTV in Angola.

Homer, Marge, Lisa and Bart are portrayed as Africans sitting on their over-used family couch. The family is shown wearing African-inspired clothing and their living room has little more than two huge loud speakers. Even Homer's cherished beer has been replaced by Cuca, the Budweiser of Angola.

The creative director of Executive Centre, Antonio Pascoa, said: "Our goal was to adapt the satirical parody of the typical middle-class American family to Angola.
