Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate. 2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this. 3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing. */ .oneColElsCtrHdr #container { width: 78em; /* this width will create a container that will fit in an 800px browser window if text is left at browser default font sizes */ background: #FFFFFF; margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */ border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */ } .oneColElsCtrHdr #header { background: #DDDDDD; padding: 0 10px 0 20px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it.

This idea unfortunately fell through so the two of them started jamming around themselves once every few weeks on some random video game songs just for fun. Every now and then JD, who also played in ES with Chris, would sit in on drums during a couple of sessions. A few months later, Chris happened on a random post in the MAGFest forums from a guy in Baltimore who was looking to jam with some other local muscicians. This guy of course was Dom. Chris invited him to sit in for a session or two and oddly enough it turned out that Matt was already a friend of his. Dom started playing with the band regularly and JD began manning the skins more often. After a while, Chris, who was currently playing guitar in the band, decided that there just wasn't enough low end in the band's sound so he started to man the bass for a few of the songs. As time went on, he eventually stopped playing guitar completely and moved exclusively to bass. After a while, the band learned a ton of material and started to have practices more frequently. Many of the songs eventually began to evolve (har har) while others were cut completely. After a while, Entertainment System was forced to take a short hiatus from live performances due to having to replace a few band members. During this time, Rare Candy began filling in for the shows that had already been booked for ES. A year later, after many requests from their fans, Rare Candy decided to take things a step further and record a full studio album. The band currently is still actively playing out, recording, and obviously, training their pokimans. It's funny to think that the whole project kind of started out as a joke.</p> <h3>Members:</h3> <p>Chris Baines - Bass/Guitar<br /> Matt &quot;PokeMatt&quot; Baros - Rhythm Keyboard<br /> Dominic Cerquetti - Lead Keyboard<br /> John &quot;JD&quot; DeCampos - Drums</p> <h3>Genre: </h3> <p>Video Game Cover</p> <h3>Hometown: </h3> <p>Baltimore</p> <h3>Special Thanks</h3> <p>Kelly Brady - Web Design<br> Taylor Fischer - Painting album art<br> Jason George (Nice Package Productions) - Recording and Audio Engineering</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> <td width ="215" valign="top" scope="col"><h2>Meet the Band &gt;</h2> <p><img src="image/spot_about.png" width="200" height="200" alt="Meet Rare Candy" /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rare-Candy/184173840108" target="_blank"><img src="image/facebook24.png" width="24" height="24" alt="Facebook / Rare Candy" /></a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rarecandyband" target="_blank"><img src="image/myspace24.png" width="24" height="24" alt="MySpace / Rare Candy" /></a> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="900" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <th width ="" valign="top" scope="col"><p><a href="index2.html">> home</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p></th> <th width ="215" valign="top" scope="col">&nbsp;</th> </tr> </table> <!-- end #mainContent --></div> <div id="footer"> <br /> <h5><a href="index.html">Welcome</a> | <a href="news.html">News</a> | <a href="shows.html">Shows</a> | <a href="media.html">Media</a> | <a href="store.html">Store</a> | <a href="about.html">About</a></h5> <h5>Copyright ýÿ 2009 Rare Candy | All content on this website is copyrighted and any unauthorized use will result in prosecution.
