This category is reserved for finds by our Editor Rhiannon Dent.
Items should consist of at least two paragraphs.
The first should be a "teaser" paragraph. This paragraph will be automatically published in our RSS feed. It should state the nature of the find and the benefits without mentioning the product name or providing a product link. For example:
"For months I've been looking for a good way of deleting 'undeletable' files. Finally I've discovered a free utility that does the job reliably and simply."
The second paragraph should at the very least, expand the benefits, name the product and provide a product link. For example:
"Unlocker is a tiny 230KB utility that works with Windows 2000 and XP. Vista users are out of luck. Just right click on the 'undeletable file', select 'Delete with Unlocker' from the context menu and next time you boot the file will be gone for good."
You can have a third paragraph if you wish; indeed as many as you like. However there must at least be a second paragraph after the opening "teaser" paragraph.

A flock of birds are winging their way above the dark opening of the crater, shown against a sky filled with orange clouds. The summit is stark with dark grays and some lighter orange highlights from the sky as the sides angle away from the summit. The is a quite a bit of subtle texture in the layers on the slopes and what might be vegetation. There are some plants that grow nowhere else in the world other than the slopes of Haleakalā.

This weeks wallpaper shows the golden hues of Great Sand Dunes Park in Colorado as they head towards far off mountains. Overhead the sky shows blue gray clouds fading to a lighter hue in front while showers march across the face of the far off mountains. The play of light and shadow on the dunes below and the horizontal flow of clouds above create an outstanding contrast in form, texture and color. Icons show up well on most areas of this background.
