Nice Char! Thanks for posting that. Who is Franklin the Turtle, and could he really beat up Superman? Would he want to? Is this turtle evil?
when the july 1 issue comes out, a link (pretty please) to the results would be great!! (hint) |
Franklin is a turtle on PSB kids. Bruce Cockburn sings the title song.
|
so, I guess franklin isn't evil? or inclined to kick superman's butt? you didn't answer the really important questions..is franklin secretly evil?
|
Never evil, wonderful and kind.
|
Just the song is evil as all songs for kids shows seep into your brain never to evaporate...thankfully it IS Bruce Cockburn's voice tho!
Franklin is as charming as a turtle can get! lol I'll post the link. ;) |

Ack! I must be doing something wrong - all I get is a picture of the Bombardier Ski-doo circa 1958 as essentially Canadian. No Gord. Sniff, sob.

oh sorry Annie - the newspaper has the pic - it's not on-line...
sorry! It's the great pic of him standing with his geetar standing up in front of him-two hands on the top and he's wearing his black leather jacket and black pants. His head is tilted a bit. |

I'm sure you've all seen it before -
here's the relevant pic: I love this 'attitude" he has... the pic in the paper is just his image/silhouette-no dark background and is cut off at a lower point than this photo-it's around the 7th fret I think? ;) link at: http://www.randexpr.com/images/GordonLightfoot1.jpg http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/715...oot14xd.th.jpg |

That IS one of his better pictures...I'm hoping he makes the list in music...he is essential Canada, isn't he? Spent his whole career extolling the beauty of Canadian countryside and lifestyle, as well as not selling out the to the American 'star-making machine'...go Gordie...

Great Char
No I do not think I ever saw the full sized version of that picture before A very useful find thank you I thought that this would be a useful example of using smaller images and thumbnails so, would everybody please bear with me a moment, (In view of the problems with dial-up-downloading I am using only small files to display as necessaryto make my points) Char you obviously sussed out the original that you linked to was way too large to show here as it is 1441 by 1801 pixels and the file size is a wapping 730,088 bytes However I did suggest that if you had scanned it you could consider either the link to the uploaded picture file or use the imageshack thumbnail link. It looks like you might have saved the picture instead from your quoted web location then uploaded it and then displayed just the small thumbnail which on your upload is at:- http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/715...oot14xd.th.jpg http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/715...oot14xd.th.jpg your displayed thumbnail is as the imageshack added on text shows presumably that you uploaded a reduced size file that was only 27KB and is only 512 by 640 pixels Now I have a suspicion that good pupil that you are you used photogadget first to make a smaller version of the original so that you could link to it via a thumbnail Let me test that theory:- the thumbnail you displayed is actually 122 by 167 pixels and its file size a mere 3939 bytes To demonstrate what I was getting at in my posting suggesting that you use your scanner and now in this posting I have saved the full sized file and then uploaded it myself to imageshack. On a dial up that obviously took quite a long time but I eventually had it full sized at:- http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7...htfoot13wm.jpg which was the last supplied link annotated "Direct link to image" In fact the third link called "Thumbnail for forums (2)" should display a much smaller thumbnail of (I checked it by going to "my images") 122 by 167 pixels 3947 bytes and with an addesss of http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7...oot13wm.th.jpg I'll display that here for comparision with what you displayed above http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7...oot13wm.th.jpg OK now using the same thumbnail but using the third link code should now display that same thumb as a clickable link to the full sized picture http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7...oot13wm.th.jpg alternatively I then ventured down what I assumed was your route above I made two smaller versions using photogadget and mine came out at:- 1 using the top option "640x 480" I got a file of 384 by 480 and 29,463 bytes 2 using the second option "800 by 600" the file was then 480 by 600 and 43002 bytes. Neither seem to be done the way yours was though so Ieft it at that for now. OK end of my attempt to fill in the picture so to speak |

I went to GOOGLE IMAGES-typed in GORDON LIGHTFOOT. The pic popped up on the first page. I opened it. Then saved it. I then went to image shack and up/downloaded it. the 'resize it' option was checked off. i copied and pasted the Thumbnail for forums link and posted it here.
Don't know what photogadget is. Figured thumbnail was a good option and the link would be for the bigger picture...Never looked at any numbers/bytes..... the pic was posted and the link is there....done. char |
