I just went back onto Amazon (to order) and the page now says it is unavailable and they don't know when it will be back in stock. Surely it didn't sell out in a week.

Some can, but Photoshop is far more powerful and built better to do this (as well as color adjustments and corrections). I always recommend to do a straight forward scan and then adjust as needed once you're in photoshop.

If you scan the cover, make sure you scan it at at least 150 dpi at whatever size you plan on printing at (ie 24" x 24" @ 150 dpi). You will also get a moire pattern when you scan it. Those are the dots from the original printing. You can blend these in Photoshop so it will look like an image and not a series of dots. To do that, open the file, select the filter menu, noise, median. You'll get a dialogue box that has a slider on the bottom and a preview. You don't want to go more than 2 pixels or the scan will start to get blurry. If you still see some dots after doing this: Filter, gausian bl

this thread just depresses me now. it's $4.25 by my apartment, $4.59 on rock creek parkway, and thank goodness for physical therapy appointments in Virginia where it is $4.09.

I completely agree!!! I also really like GNRs version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" from the Days of Thunder Soundtrack.

I was with bigshoulders at the Knoxville show and WOW. the only way I know how to describe it: a black magic circus in another dimension. i'm still overwhelmed! what a great show.

I live in Washington, DC. need I say more? Ok I will, fireworks, viewed from some great vantage point like the Key Bridge, the Iwo Jima Memorial, or the Memorial bridge, maybe even the Lincoln memorial, the backdrop being the Washington Monument, the Capital Building and the rest of that fairly patriotic and spectacular DC skyline. A friend from GA will be joining me. We will be making it a weekend on the cheap.

when i lived in TN, my neighbor found a bomb in her attic. had to call the bomb squad to remove it. apparently it was quite common in our neighborhood, veterans brought souvenirs home from WWII and forgot about them in attics and basements. not quite the same as a developer building in a practice/test zone. oyi, that's scary.

that's awesome! thanks A-man for searching for the date! That was most likely the concert. That would have put my mom a few days past her 16th birthday. What a sweet 16 that must have been!

for those that might be interested, LiveNation is trying to make good on the botched Radiohead show. I got an email today: Hello Melissa, My apologies for the late response, we were first accommodating all of the ticket holders that did not make it into the pavilion at all on the night of the Radiohead concert. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate your request for compensation for your Radiohead tickets from the show on May 11 at Nissan Pavilion due to the fact that you entered the pavilion and saw some or all of the show. Instead we would like to offer you to come as our guest t

My mom won two tickets from a radio station to see the Beatles, back when they first came to the USA. It might have even been when their first album came out, I don't know the exact date. I do know it was around 1965/1966, maybe 1968 at the latest. She and a friend took a bus from VA Beach, VA to Baltimore, MD because that was where the concert was. They were 2nd row tickets. She has the ticket stubs preserved in a scrapbook.

this is pseudo "out and about": i just discovered Paste radio on itunes and have it going today. just got back to my desk and "Impossible Germany" is playing. -- edit: am really LOVING Paste radio, today "Shot in the Arm" although I am sure this is old news and I'm late to the party.

hope your birthday was wonderful, here's more wishes to ya!!! happy happy!

i got waved down again yesterday by someone inquiring about what my plates meant. it was a bit more dangerous though than the last time. i was driving down Wisconsin Ave with my windows down and a car pulls up beside me (mind you we're going around 40mph) and asks what my plates mean, i thought the girl said my rear light was blinking. it took a couple more yells between the cars to get the gist of it all, but she seemed happy to hear my explanation. we passed through a couple stop lights during the conversation. yikes. who knew having personalized plates would spark such on-road conversations

my money is on the 5 that disappeared in a plane crash near by and the wreckage somehow has them pinned in so that only the right feet are exposed (and that one left foot) to the water and the rest of the bodies are preserved in the hull. then it is going to become one of those puzzler questions you use on a long road trip similar to the one about the scuba diver being found in a tree after a forest fire. [no disrespect to the families of those lost in the plane crash]

even more reason to LOVE taco bell!

i remember there being a film crew/lots and lots of cameras at the first 9:30 club show in DC this past Feb. and somewhere on the board there was a thread about the filming on the SBS tour. Analogman might see this bat signal and help out in finding said thread, .

that song always got on my nerves, i think it was because his voice was so unnaturally deep and the pitch of the music so much higher than his voice. mmmmm mmmm mmm m.

nah, that's what they used to stage the moon landing, this time around is much more sophisticated: the cloning tool in photoshop. edit: don't tell my NASA friends i said that. (gulp)

how's that different from any other day? hee hee. just kidding. couldn't resist!

one of my friends worked on this project!!! so so cool that they're finding stuff.

I saw this article in the Post today and really don't think the lawsuit is going to get anywhere. It didn't in TN with the ProLife plates. I did find humor in the guy that said it was about those with a disdain for religion, considering the lawsuit is on behalf of 3 pastors, a rabbi, and a hindu group. It read to me that the true issue is actually the side stepping of the standard process for getting these plates approved: "Lynn said his group would not have opposed the "I Believe" plates had they been advocated by private groups. State law allows private groups to create specialty plates

Is there an article about the HOAX for #6?

I have 2 tickets to the Cary, NC show (seats not lawn) to sell, face value and fees. PM me.

shoes have serial numbers? and can be traced back to the store where they were purchased. that's it, i'm never buying shoes again, sounds awful big brother to me.
