This CrossHair application displays two full-screen lines intersecting your mouse cursor when you press a hot key. As you move the mouse cursor, the lines follow over any program or window. The program is tiny, and runs completely transparently until you call up the crosshairs. It's useful for eyeballing any kind of chart or tabular data on screen, and for aligning objects in graphics or design applications. For example, mouse over these screenshots:</p> <p><img src="http://www.mlin.net/media/crosshair_example1.png" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.mlin.net/CrossHair.shtml" target="_blank">Download Crosshair Here</a></p><div class="item_footer"><p><small><a href="http://galido.net/blog/index.php/ITBlog/2012/05/14/tool-for-aligning-lines-in-images-charts-and-more">Original post</a> blogged on <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div> Have you ever had the need to line up data or images and needed some sort of ruler or line alignment tool?

Seems that our site was dropped due to this message from Google:

We were given a one day warning, on May 11, 2012, and basically the next day our website vanished from Google.

If this happened to you, our only advice is to go with the flow and follow the Google Webmaster Guidelines.  Resubmit your site, and hope for the best!

Will keep you all posted on the results of our corrections.

At least Bing and Yahoo, continue to keep us on their top results.  Time to move?  We're hoping not!  Common Google, your search results used to be awesome, and now, it's a matter of which results to trust!
