And if you wanna find me a resizer like XP Resizer, but for OS X, then I'll be happy to reduce my image size

I don't want a program...XP Resizer allows you to right click a picture and simply select an image size that's smaller...

...and it makes a copy for you. This is just another program…

lol

He started out well. “A lot of people tell you this country’s best days are behind it. Well don’t listen to them.” But then he went off the rails, talking about a couple citizens in Chicago who did great things but it didn’t have much to do with his original point. He talked a lot about himself and his accomplishments with the public schools. Then he just basically launched into a marketing schpiel as if he was asked, “Why should Chicago go after the Olympics?” instead of, “What is your advice to us graduates?” On top of that, the man confused subject-verb agreement the entire day – “Our children is the future” – and mispronounced words and got other facts wrong (“I’m happy to be here for the 105th Commencement” .... it was the 150th). A lot of us were pretty let down.

Emmott, however, was quite enjoyable. He’s British, so getting to hear that accent and humor is always a plus, and he had a lot of clever things to say, along with good optimism about the future of journalism.

Even though I was accepted at Medill for a master’s in journalism, I chose a different school and lived to regret the decision every day—until I met my fiancee at the other school.
However, I’ve worked with NW in several capacities and admire and respect their administration. Hopefully, I can get a real, full-time job there soon.
