Paintball is an exciting sport and above all paintball is fun! It’s a chance to shake off your day-to-day responsibilities and rekindle your spirit of adventure. Not only is paintball fun, it’s also a great way to get some exercise and to bond with your friends or co-workers. If you’ve never played a paintball game before, there are a few things you should know. Namely, that paintball requires specific equipment, such as goggles, markers (or paintball guns), pressurized gas, and paintballs. 

The paintball gun you choose can make a big difference in whether you win or lose. Make sure to select one that is manageable and not too heavy. Remember that you’ll be running around carrying it. Something that weighs a couple pounds off the field may feel like 10 pounds after you’ve sprinted around the field. A paintball gun can range from a hundred dollars to several hundred dollars. Paintballs are sold at a price between $35.00 and $55.00 a box depending on the brand of balls. 

You’ll also need safety equipment. A helmet is a good idea. Goggles are imperative, since the last thing you want is to be hit in the eye with a high-speed paintball. Protective pads worn under your clothing is also a good idea. These pads will reduce the pain of getting hit with a paintball and will minimize the odds that you wake up sore the next day.

You can buy all of this equipment or you can rent it from an organized paintball field. If this is your first time playing paintball, it’s a good idea to use an organized field. These fields usually have employees that will help you select your equipment and familiarize you and your team about the rules and etiquette of playing paintball.

You should always remember that paintball is a team sport. A game cannot be won or lost by individuals.  Have fun and don’t take it too seriously!

Introduction

As we gradually gained more experience being a web designer we have learnt to ask the question what size screen resolution should we build this website at? These days I was reading somewhere recently that the only answer to that question should be ‘all of them’ and ‘none of them’. What this basically means is that new websites should be built to accommodate all different screen sizes these days, particularly with the increased popularity of hand help web browsers, smart phones, net books and the like. Of course there is also the other end of the spectrum in the new huge wide screen flat screen monitors. I recently treated myself to a 24 inch Asus which does 1920×1080 which is big enough to get two web browser windows on screen side by side, but if you make one of them full size, the majority or websites look, well, just plain strange!

What exactly is screen resolution then?

If you are not familiar with screen resolution, the simple answer is that it is the size of your desktop. However, this can be quite misleading because it is actually the number of pixels that make up the display area on the screen of your monitor. Still not clear? Well let’s look at some examples to help clarify exactly what screen resolution is.

Currently what would appear to be the most favourite screen resolution is 1024×768 (accounting for 62% of my website visitors). This is a screen that is 1024 pixels wide by 768 pixels high. What is a pixel? A Pixel, derived from the phrase Picture Element, is basically one of the thousands of tiny dots that make up your display screen. However, this does not necessarily determine the physical size of your monitor (14 inch, 15 inch, 19 inch etc) because most monitors are capable of displaying the screen in different screen resolutions. It is fairly accurate to say that if you want to run your monitor at a high screen resolution then you will need a large monitor, the larger the monitor the greater the resolution it can display at (assuming your graphics card can support a high resolution).

All getting a bit technical? Put simply the higher the screen resolution the more things you can fit on your screen before they have to go onto the next line, or before you have to scroll down or scroll right.

What’s this got to do with Website Design?

When creating the graphics for a new website design, traditionally the experienced graphic designer would be working to a specific resolution in order to make sure that the design fits in your browser window without having to scroll right. (Thankfully most website owners don’t demand you make their pages so that you don’t have to scroll down anymore!)

However, if you design it to 1024 pixels wide, when it is viewed in a wider browser resolution such as 1360 for example, as a web design company you have to decide how to handle the extra width. You can either align the site to the left and just have a huge great big gap to the right. You can centre align the website in the available space and then the extra screen resolution will be on either side of the pages. However, the sensible, modern day approach is to make the site flexible to support all screen resolutions by creating ‘fluid’ content that will flow to fit the available page space irrespective of what size screen resolution it is viewed at.

Also, because of the increased competitiveness of the web the challenge for a website owner is how to engage your viewers and get them to stay on your website for as long as possible and show them as much content as possible. One way to help with this is to make full use of all of the available space. Two great big blank areas either side of a tiny web page is simply just a waste of space. Imagine if you picked up a newspaper or magazine and only half of the front page had got any content on it, the editor would get the sack for sure! So by creating fluid web pages, web site owners can take advantage of larger publishing spaces available on bigger screen users, whilst optimising content for display on smaller screens too.

Another advantage with big screen displays is the ability to use the new area for re-publishing. Re-publishing is a way to put content from another area of your site onto a different page, thereby bringing it forward for the viewer. An example of this that we did on one site we created was to insert an alphabetical list of names of the products available on the website underneath the left hand menu on pages that were very long.

All pages tend to be different lengths, as determined by the content on the page, so we used a clever widget to create this list of product names and insert it in the gap until it ran out of space. This was great for SEO too as it gave a direct link to specific product pages based on their product names without having to crawl through category pages first, also website users would often see something in the list they wanted and click straight through to the page and buy the item.

Ultimately this has evolved into what would now be thought of as a web 2.0 ‘tag cloud’ a list of tags that are usually user generated, to indicate and link directly to a specific content group or item. Using a tag cloud is a great way to fill fluid spaces on larger screens that you can fill with what are effectively links to other parts of the website.

How do you make fluid content?

Fluid content is not that hard to create, the majority will be words of course, which are naturally fluid so on a small resolution screen you might get 5-10 words to a row, on a larger screen you can get 20-30 words or more. However the challenge comes with images, and particularly website graphics. A photograph, whilst it can be made smaller and larger offline, it can’t be automatically resized by the web browser at the time of viewing (not taking into account the Zoom function in Internet Explorer).

The HTML code that makes up your web pages is again designed to allow fluidity by fitting content into the available page area, so some best practises that can be employed to make content fluid include not using tables in the code (which are depreciated these days now anyway), not setting specific screen width in pixels, use 100% instead. By fading images into blocks of colour in the website graphics, you can create a stretchable element that will scale to fit all window sizes. Use little boxes to put stuff in, these can then flow around the screen as required without having to be in any particular place, they also help to draw the eye to special offers, discounts, newsletter sign ups etc, and can of course be styled by your graphic designer with colours and shadows and gradients to look great.

Conclusion

Fluid content is the future of website development, it makes your website compatible with the smallest to the largest display types, increases selling and marketing opportunities by providing new publishing space, maximises the amount of available page space for displaying your website content and above all it stops your site looking silly on huge great big screens which, as the prices come down, are becoming more and more popular these days.

Auto Insurance Quotes

After a recent visit to Worcester by Train, one of our regular customers contacted us to ask about child car seats and where we stand as Taxi Drivers and the new UK child seat laws and restrictions. Sheila Jones was refused a Worcester Taxi recently, as Sheila did not have a child car seat with her for her 2 year old daughter to sit in whilst in the Taxi.

The Cheltenham Taxi website is of the view that the Worcester Taxi driver involved was properly a bit keen when it comes to road safety, or may not have been aware of the exemptions for Children who travel via Taxi. It can be a hard shout for Taxi drivers, as they are legally responsible for ensuring children under 14 are belted up correctly whilst travelling in their Taxi.

Children are exempt from the child car seats laws whilst travelling in a taxi, as long as a certain criteria is met:

Children under 3 may sit on an adults lap in the rear of a Taxi, as long as the adult is wearing a seatbelt –the seatbelt must only be around the adult and not the baby.

Children 3 years and over may sit in the rear of a taxi using just the seatbelt, if the correct baby car seat or booster seat for the child’s age and weight is not available.

No child under the age of 13 and less than 135cm in height may travel in the front seat of a taxi.

If you are planning a Taxi journey for an advanced date, there maybe sufficient time to arrange for the correct child car seats to be available.

You would not expect a family of five with 3 young children to carry their baby car seats with them, but also, saying that, you would not expect a Taxi to carry a dozen different child car seats around with them just in case.

If you booked a Cheltenham Taxi in advance to take you and a child to the airport, we would be more than happy to hold on to your baby car seat for you and make it available for you on the return journey.

Disclaimer.

This is not safety advice for your children when using a Taxi service, it just our interpretation of current UK child seat legislation. If you need advice, please contact your local road safety unit at your local authority.

In some individuals who have undergone facelift surgery, they are greatly unsatisfied with the results. This could be due to a number of factors, but the primary reason is that they did not know what look they expect or desire before getting underneath the knife.

If you are opting to get surgery done and want to be content with the results, you should comprehend what the precise end result would be and what you cannot achieve from the surgical process. Impractical visions will rarely occur, even with surgery. Prior to the surgical process, a surgeon will discuss with the individual what the benefits of the procedure will be in addition to its consequences. It is imperative that the patient heeds exactly what the surgeon is performing and to carefully consider the recommendations of the specialist.

To get a better understanding of how you would look following the surgery, you should observe the before and after pictures of those who underwent the same procedure as you. The medical group will be able to provide various photos so you would be able to evaluate how the surgery changed these individuals.

Whilst viewing the photo of the people prior to the surgery, you should contemplate whether the particular physical features bear a resemblance to yours. Additionally, when assessing these before and after photos, you should question yourself whether the surgery is worth it and whether the people in the photos obtained the greatest benefit. If you can relate to the position of these individuals and you deem that their facial features have been significantly improved by the surgical procedure, then you should proceed with the surgery.

Although bear in mind that the facial composition of each individual is unique and you may not resemble those in the photos, the surgery has the same chance of either enhancing your looks or having dramatic consequences that you may dislike. The likelihood of a great result increases with more the healthier and greater your general well-being is. Certain lifestyle factors can also influence the ultimate outcome of the facelift surgery. Those who are habitual smokers or drinkers of alcohol are at a higher risk of complications that occur during the course of the procedure. To be the most satisfied with the facelift procedure, you should do your homework and be prepared what is in store for you.
