    ""A Cello" The strings are drawn with the htz frequencies along the strings. The wood is drawn with the speed at which sound travels parallel to the wood grain for the Spruce, Maple and Rosewood. The Bow is the Pythagorean Comma and the Tail piece is the 12th root of 2. Ashia's hands are drawn with the numbers of the clock, 1-12, to signify time in a fleeting moment.  

    Sienna Morris pioneered the drawing technique, Numberism, in 2008. The technique is much like pointillism, however Morris uses Numbers instead of dots. There are absolutely no lines and no smudging in these drawings."

    "Last Saturday, Ron Paul finished the Iowa Straw Poll with the fourth highest vote total in the Poll's history.  

    His second-place ranking came only 152 votes behind the winner, and was triple the amount of votes he received in 2007.

    His vote total blew the doors off the establishment candidates the media anointed as front-runners.

    The truth is, the near-total media blackout Dr. Paul received after his incredible Iowa Straw Poll showing has angered not only folks like you and me, but it's incensed GOP Primary voters who don't like being told who to vote for by liberal reporters.

    Ron's birthday is coming up on August 20th, and there isn't a better follow-up to his amazing finish in Ames than receiving a strong message from his supporters."

    Putting any old video file - like the DivX/Xvid-encoded videos you've downloaded with BitTorrent - onto a DVD to play on your TV can be a daunting task. There's plenty of software that tackles this sort of thing for a price, but as a lover of open source software, free's always my first choice. Try DVD Flick
