The Bad Paint Black And The Good Paint Angel White


Once there were two paints Bad Black and Angel White. The Bad Black was obviously just bad, or mean, or nasty, whatever you call it. So now on Angel White. Angel White was just an ordinary color but she was good. The Bad Black made nightmares. The Angel White made wishes come true. Bad Black lived in a smelly old palace think of it think of it! picture it in you're head! and Angel White had a nice and good smelling palace even and do same with Bad Black's palace picture in your head. now on story part
Once upon a time there were two paints Bad Black and Angel White. Angel white was very sad  because her kingdom has ruined and her builders wont ever listen to her. Bad Black was very happy  because everyone was dirty and unhealthy and eating bad food like chocolate bars. And Angel white lived in a small cottage with a nice old kind lady. It was nighttime for bad paints to wake up in night and it was morning for good paints to wake up. Rise and shine! so after in this day  in afternoon some bad paints came to give up the bad and became good and then more and more and it kept going on until there were no black paint left to paint then the leader came to the good paint's kingdom to leave bad paint. After when she came everybody said why are you here? are you going to ruin our palace  more? why do you come? do you want to leave bad paint? and bad paint said stop it! I CAME HERE BECAUSE I WANTED TO LEAVE BLACK PAINT AND YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME  then black paint leader started to cry  then white paint leader came and said do you want to join? black paint said yes i do oh and i forgot black paint leader was a boy king and angel white was a girl queen. After  a few days the both king queen whites got married  and they lived happily ever after

The End

coat-of-arms

By Jim Sheng
Heraldry probably began with the knights in armour. When wearing a helmet in battle or in tournaments a knight could not be recognised; so he used symbols to decorate his shield and surcoat. The surcoat was the loose garment worn over the armour to protect it from rain or hot sun and actually was the "coat-of-arms"; it was decorated on the front and back with the same device as on the shield. The correct expression for entire design is an achievement . An achievement consists of the shield, helmet, rest, wreath, mantling and motto. These are the main parts. To them can be added supporters and a compartment. In the centre is the most important part, the shield . The surface of the shield is called the field  and on it the colourful charges are placed. The shield is called the arms or coat-of-arms  and can be drawn in any shape - in an upright position or slanting, which is the position it would fall into if hung on a peg. In Heraldry it slants to dexter. The helmet denot...

You can find your Wireless Network Key on Virgin Media Wireless Router

By Jim Sheng
We have a new netbook computer, and don't know where to find network key, which is needed to setup wireless connection. A network key may also be called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) key. A wireless network key is a security feature that prevents unauthorized users from accessing a wireless network. An unprotected network is an unlocked virtual door, anybody within range can piggyback on the network undetected. I use Virgin media broadband with a Virgin media wireless router, this router has a WPA key taped on the router, that WPA key is an English word consisting of 10 letters. To tape network key on the router is a good idea, because we may never lose or forget a wireless network key as long as we possess the router.

The Meaning of Derby City Council Logo

By Jim Sheng
Derby City Logo The logo of Derby City Council looks quite abstract and modern. I wonder what's the meaning of it? The lower-left part of the logo looks like a snail (or the initial letter D in Derby?), the upper-right part seems a river, (Derwent river?) these two parts are connected by a straight line at the bottom. I did some searches on the web trying to find out the true meaning of Derby City Council logo, but without success. So, I wrote to tourist information, and got the answer from Michael: The Logo is a representation of two of Derby's oldest emblems, one being a ram the other a buck (deer). Obviously the logo is a modern interpretation of these two figures so it is not obvious unless you know what to look for. Most people do seem to agree with you that it looks like a snail however. Ram! the curly horn of ram looks like a snail indeed. The ram and the deer are from coat of arms of City of Derby, In this coats of arms, we can see the deers both in shield (arm...
