After you've selected the area you want it should have a square around it.

Then all you have to do is click on "edit" and the "cut". That will cut that square out of the picture and copy it into "memory".

Then click "File" and "new". It will ask if you want to save the file. Click no.

A new blank screen will appear.

Click on "edit" and "paste" like you did before and it will paste in the part you cut out before, but without all the rest.

Now you can click on "File" and "Save as" and a screen will come up like this. you will have the option to save your pics as a JPG file. Click on the desktop on the left and it will save it to the desktop with what ever file name you type into the box where it says filename.

Where it says 24-bitmap is where you want it to say "JPG".

At this point it should be saved on your desktop as a pic. Just post like any other pic to the board.

COOL!

Eags yours worked too. If the pic is too big it posts as a link. You hot link it like this.

Right click on the link and "copy shortcut"

Type the following and replace the text "URL of pic" between the quote marks by right clicking and pasting the copied shortcut between the quote marks.

[img src="URL of the pic" alt="Name for pic"]

Replace the brackets at begining and end with a > and a > at the end

funny article...

I dont see where any candidate can say they are going to lower gas prices. A president simply don't control the prices.

The saddest part about all your maps is that the South - which became known decades ago for its dominant "Southern Democrats" - seems hopelessly red now.

I think this entire race will be close and voter turnout will be extremely high - but I think the notion that the south will never vote for a colored man is really senile. Probably true, but very single-minded.

John McCain is already putting out national TV ads about himself. The ads are selling his military past and personality, but are not giving any real notion what he will do as President. WTF? It is a junk ad!

Truly a loss for the country. Russert was one of the best reporters of our time. He will be missed.

I'm shocked and sad. Probably the last of the "legitimate" political journalists. I was always glad to see him on a panel because I knew he'd give the real scoop and not try to spin anything. I set my alarm last Sunday because Meet The Press was on early because of the U S Open Tennis Tournament.

Are they going to cancel that Meet the Press show, now.... or get another host, or something......

My new prediction:

June 16

Virginia is close but I need to see at least one more poll in Obama's favor in order to move it into his column. Same story with Nevada. North Carolina is still just a tease for Obama, much like New Jersey for McCain.

If by purple you mean both Obama and Coleman winning then I agree. I don't think a double digit win for Obama in MN is unrealistic though.

mrmnmikey

nope. McCain wins and Coleman.

other way around at this time is my guess..

Franken and McCain

reason..the NRA is going to dump a boatload of anti obama ads in this state.

McCain is not going to carry Minnesota. If he does I will make Jake drink his own piss.

No doubt, many will be exposed to state-sponsored violence, either as survivors of, or witness to.

I keep hearing about all these people trying to make some quick money, during that deal...

Im gonna do it the old fashioned way...

set up a kool-aid stand....

just me, and a wagon, and a chair, and a table....

people can toss their money in my old, metal coffee can, and have a styrofoam cup of Kool-Aid....

Im thinking 20 dollars a cup, will be a good starting point.... especially if its as hot as it is, right now.

as an added incentive, everybody who purchases a cup, will hear my thoughts on where I think Osama is hiding....

you've got the million dollar answer

do you have a yellow pigtailed wig?

reminds me of that old Droopy cartoon where the bad guy tries to dig his way out of jail and ends up in a tv and has to act out scenes to the Warden as he flips through channels.
