Refridgerator engineers... should have their degrees revoked.

Every hour or two for about 30 minutes or so, my refridgerator emits a high pitch whine.  So every hour or two, I interrupt watching a movie, cooking, or talking - to point out to my husband that I can hear the fridge whine.  The fact that there's nothing I can do about it makes me think about torture and the Geneva convention.

Good-bye to a valiant friend

Friends
Death
This morning my heart broke. I recieved news of the passing of my friend Justin. He and his girlfriend had been fishing on the banks of the Chekamus river near Whistler, BC. She had been pulled in and he had dived in after her. [FULL ARTICLE in Vancouver Sun, Picture on right of Chekamus River]. Somehow, I'm not surprised. That was how Justin was - always there for his friends and loved ones and ready to pull you out of whatever trouble you had gotten yourself into.

Life goes on...

I was happy to hear about some friends getting together in Toronto to mourn our common loss and celebrate Justin's life. I'm hoping to do a smaller get together next weekend when I'm there as well. It's hard when you're far away from it all...

I wanted to edit the layout of my images such that content images have a border and non-content images (i.e. ye wee little pdf file symbol for starters) would stay the same (no border).  See below snippet of code from my style.css file in bartik_sch sub theme.  Note: I also have a views random image generator on the front page and I want those images to be also with the same border format.
