A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....10-26-05....Green is Green is Green

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

OUTRAGEOUS!!!

A thread about the color green? Why not. (besides I wanted to use my “new“ lily pad backgrounds.) Green.. Endless possibilities - the lucky green four leaf clover; malachite; broccoli; the Isle of Green - Ireland; Show me the Money Green; Green Mansions - a great movie from years past; jade; seaweed; and sKerry - green with envy - as he LOST!

Here are a few green thoughts & Links. Do you have a green story? Green nightmare? Green underwear?

It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be

That's a pretty green picture - I somehow don't believe that boat is *really* that color of green, though it sure matches everything else. ;)

whoa. just got home from my support group & this was "on the top of the pile" of pings.

I guess I need to learn more about picture it. I do my "reduction" with the left sidebar & one of the choices is file reduction. You then have three choices. Can use one or all. I usually do the pixel & the resolution automatically goes down to 72. There is nothing lower but it does go up VERY high the other direction. The Picture It file keeps it at 300 - by going to JPEG it automatically goes down to 72. Will check out (when I am more awake) the sliding bar "thingie" you discussed.

Thanks Billie. you are always so generous to help us!

I have green underwear ...but I have LOTS of colored underwear, not just green!

Colleen, the boat is what I call "bianchi green". Bianchi is a bike manufacturer from Italy that has its signature bike of that color. It is an expensive bike. Cant get one for less than a 1000 dollars. and you can go up to many thousand depending on the quality of the components. My friend John has two. I had one of the RED ones, which is less expensive - by about half. gave it to my son when I upgraded.(yea, gave him the toss aways)

I like that pix.. very serene & that to me is what canoing is, generally = relaxing & serene, as opposed to kayaking which is turn over, get wet in cold weather exciting & challenging.

that is a gorgeous crystal. I don't have any aquamarine at this point. A few years back I strung a necklace of faceted aquamarine, freshwater pearl & 14K gold. It was gorgeous & was a commissioned job & pretty expensive, even to make.

S9 Matta Ti/Carbon Record

S9 Matta - The most beloved team car, that of Fausto Coppi.

 

Light, stiff and resistant over time. The use of grade 9 titanium alloy

(TI 3Al/2.5V), which has a tensile strength of 860N/mm2 and a limited weight density, allows us to improve the specific stiffness of the frame, while maintaining the level of comfort typical of titanium. As the material’s low coefficient of elasticity has a cushioning effect over rough terrain.

 

The extruded double-butted tubing, in specific diameters and sections, combined with the new Monostay design in high modulus carbon fibre (our exclusive design from Bianchi Reparto Corse) permits us to further increase the performance of this frame. The TIG welding in a protective atmosphere, ensures the preservation of all the mechanical properties. The components (rear drop outs, head tube and cable stops) are all made via CNC machining.

 

Group Campagnolo Record, Handlebar and Stem ITM Sword Carbon, Seatpost PMP Carbon, Crankset Bianchi Componenti full carbon, Wheels Campagnolo Eurus.

 

Available as frameset, or as complete bike by special order.

Hi Amy! That's okay about the holidays. We've both been really busy. In addition to teaching and working on my paper, I started taking a pilates/yoga class. I'm sore a lot from that, but I need the exercise. LOL! Unfortunately, it cuts into my FReep time.
