Mich

I am so relieved that this election is over with. Before the election our household was pelted with campaign propoganda mail and phone calls. Some of the negative stuff was apalling. Accusations of "radical homosexual agendas", racial inuendos, bad political jokes and On and On and On. We thought it would never end.

Now that the election is over, the propoganda and phone calls have ceased. BUT, we find the local newspapers are still at it. One newspaper headline from just north of us read 'OBAMA NATION". Now the inuendo is subtle, but none the same it is apparent that the person who created this headline and the editor who allowed it to be printed are not the kind of people I would want to associate with. Leaving me to decide that I would never subscribe to their newspaper.

The decision has been made by the people of the USA. Barack Obama won the election whether or not you agree with the choice. No matter what your political affiliation; now is not the time for us to be slandering our chosen President-Elect. We need to pull together like never before. We have a lot of problems on our plate that need to be dealt with. There is not the time for derision.

Hello baniboy and welcome to Trap 17 from Mich in Michigan, USA.

Since everybody has beaten me to it filling you in, I guess that is all there is left to do.

But if you still need them, you can use the links just above my sig to learn all about Trap 17.

Politics on Trap 17. Wow. I only have one thing to add to all this conversation about Obama and the economy.

A President can only accomplish things with the co-operation of the House and Senate. No one person can do it all alone, nor does one person have all the answers. With input from US citizens, cabinet members, advisors, consultants, Senators, Congressmen as well as the President, I pray that the "right" decisions are made. We, the people of USA, all need to pull together to see that this mess we are in is corrected ASAP.

God Bless Us All!

You have one of the better intros, congrats. Most people just say Hi I'm here. Thanks for all the interesting information about you. Sounds like you will make a fine addition to our little community. See you arond the boards.

Oh, and good luck with your projects.

Hmm. Well I guess I too am afraid of the process of dying and perhaps the timing. Since I enjoy life so much, I want the time to do all the things I have stored in my thoughts. If death were to come too soon, I might miss out on things I would enjoy doing.

I only hope that death comes quickly to me. If it doesn't, and I have time to ponder the actuality of it, I hope I can face it as gracefully as one person I heard of. On her death bed she said, "Don't feel sorry for me, I am about to do something I have never done before. It will be a new exerience."

I find that this problem of holding back the "smart" students may occur in small school districts. Students in these small schools cannot be segregated by leaning abilities because of staffing problems. This should be taken up by the school board.

In the larger districts, segregation by abilities is afforded and usually offered. When I was in high school, we had what was called "Advanced" courses. These courses were set up for the students that excelled in their scholastic abilities. I was taking college courses in my senior year of high school. That really came in handy when I took entrance exams. I was able to ace my math.

Hello Ruben and welcome to Trap 17 from Mich in Michigan, USA.

Nice introduction! Although most of it is way over my head. as I am somewhat computer illiterate. I drive people around here up a wall asking so many (what seem like stupid) questions to most. But, then, a question isn't stupid if you don't know wthe answer. The people here at Trap 17 are very helpful and friendly; even to someone like me.

Enjoy your stay with us, and I hope it lasts a while.

Hello Vyoma and welcome to Trap 17 from Mich in Michigan, USA.

As far as I know, anyone with graphics talent is free to post in The GFXTrap Forum. Your additions will probably be welcome as everybody enjoys showing off their talents. I might suggest that if you have any very LARGE graphics to show off that use a link to wherever they are stored so they don't take up a lot of space here and/or distort the forum layout.

Look forward to seeing some of your work soon.

Hello HappyHippie and welcome to Trap 17 from Mich in Michigan, USA. It is nice to have a more mature person join our little community.

Everybody has already fed you the routine advice about Trap. I see you have a daughter getting married. Mine got married in 2000. Only it was her second time around. It is nice that you like her intended. It took a little while for me to warm up to my present Son-in-Law. He had some problems when I first met him. Since then he has cleaned up and a really nice guy came out from under the fog. They are happy, and that is what counts.

I always thought that the lapped cars are given the inside lane following a caution so that they can have a chance to race hard to earn their lap back. If they had to start at the back of the field in the position they were currently running in, it would be next to impossible to pass the leaders to get back on 2.

as for the Daytona 500, I'm pretty sure that it's always on the third Sunday of February.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Hello "Running With Scissors" and welcome to Trap 17 from Mich in Michigan, USA. Interesting handle .

I started posting at Xisto before I found this sight. Actually I was lured over here by a certain member who shall go unnamed. I am not a techy and Trap is more graphics oriented, so things felt more comfortable over here. I have gone back to Xisto on occasion, but am not really active over there. I am unsure about this new credit system since I am not technical enough to understand even this. I hope it works out, but I am very hesitant about it. Have many questions before signing up.

I'm liking it... simply for the fact that now I can create separate Domains for the f=various things that I have been using my sub-domains for.

Instead of cluttering up my Xisto account with a several sub-domains, I will be able to purchase a Domain and host each one separately now. Cool!

1. OK, just a quick question about Nascar start and restart lineups. The "Post Position" is earned in qualifying by driver with the fastest qualifying time. This prized position is at the head of the inside row on race startup. However, when there is a restart, the inside row consists of the drivers who are down a lap or more. This places the driver who is the first one down a lap in the prized "Post Position'. Why is this?

2. How is the date for Daytona Week determined? I have noticed that it is usually over or around Valentines Day, but am curious how the schedule of the Daytona 500 is determined. Like, is the race a certain Sunday of the year? And therefore the week is the week leading up to the race.

Are there any fans here that know the answers?
