shooting at holocaust musem in DC

Gunfire at the entrance of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum wounded at least two people...A private security guard and the shooting suspect were wounded, according to officials of the D.C. police.

you're welcome

you can use wikipedia to look up the RGB color value for almost any color.

for example:

traditional chartreuse: 223, 255, 0






web chartreuse: 127, 255, 0






i prefer to keep it traditional in this instance.

it'll also give you the RGB values for other colors in the same spectrum.

that seems ok.

yay long.

nErD aLeRt!

Chicago, often seen as the model of growth for a 20th Century urban industrial megalopolis, now has been reproduced in an enormous model with the help of computers and a new three-dimensional "printing" process called stereolithography.

Beginning this week, a 25- by-35-foot model of the city will be open for viewing, free of charge at the Chicago Architecture Foundation, inspired by similar models in Beijing and Shanghai that show how those cities also have rapidly grown and changed. (chitrib)

happy <3 heart <3 wednesday!

best places to live: 2009

AuBuRn AlaBaMa!!! jeally?


"For Southern charm with collegiate vigor, consider Auburn, Ala. This diamond on the eastern Alabama plains has a population of just under 50,000 and is home to Auburn University. On football Saturdays, when die-hard fans arrive in droves to cheer their beloved Tigers, Auburn swells to the state's fifth-most-populous city. And as Auburn's largest employer, the university also plays a starring role in the local economy.

With mild winters and hot summers, the city offers no shortage of outdoor recreation opportunities. Find a nice hiking trail in the 696-acre Chewacla State Park before cooling off with an afternoon swim. Take a stroll through the Donald E. Davis Arboretum, located on the Auburn University campus.

Golfers can head to nearby Grand National golf course

and wend their way through the state along the beautiful Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. 'Once you have been there, you just want to come back,' says John Cannon, president of SunBelt Golf Corp., which manages the trail." (US News & World Report)
