iTunes signature maker
The “iTunes Signature Maker”:http://www.jasonfreeman.net/itsm/ layers together a bunch of snippets of songs in your iTunes library to make your incomprehensible mashy “signature”. Mine sounds like…”this”:http://works.music.columbia.edu/~jason/itsm/gallery2.php?name=roboppy&file=roboppy-2.mp3&popup=1. I tried it a few times and kept getting the same songs (the last one was always the same, at least) so…maybe I just don’ t listen to enough music. If you can figure out all the songs in my signature, you win…
…NOTHING! Oh well.

ON BACK FIND BRIEF INFO ABOUT THE WAR OF 1812
Some call it the Second War of Independence, for when it ended and the US had fought Great Britain to a stalemate, Americas independence was assured.
The United States declared War on Great Britain on June 12, 1812. The war was declared as a result of long simmering disputes with Great Britian. The central dispute surrounded the impressment of American soldiers by the British. The British had previously attacked the USS Chesapeake and nearly caused a war two year earlier.
British forces march on Washington. At a brief battle on the road, known as the Battle of Bladensburg; the British forces defeat the American forces, who withdraw in disarray, thus opening the road to Washington. The British burn the White House and the Capitol, but the rest of Washington is saved by a strong rain storm. The British, under orders not to hold any territory, withdrew.
The American forces stop the British advance on Baltimore. The British are stopped by a determined defense along the road to Baltimore. Unlike on the road to Washington, these American forces do not break. In addition, American forces at Ft. McHenry, in Baltimore Harbor, withstand a British bombardment unscathed.
On October 4, 1813, General Jackson leads a force to attack the Creeks in their home territory. Jackson fights a number of battles, and a constant fight to maintain enough militia with him, but he soon defeats the Creeks.
On March 27, 1814, the forces of Andrew Jackson defeat the Creeks in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, on the Tallapoosa River in Alabama. This decisive victory ends the Creek War.
On August 19, 1812 the USS “Constitution” defeats the “Guerriere,” off the coast of Nova Scotia. The battle lasts for an hour, and was a great victory for the Navy.
On December 24, the Treaty of Ghent is signed ending the war. The war in the field continues until mid-February.
On January 8, 1815, American forces, under General Jackson, decisively defeat the British forces trying to capture New Orleans. The battle, which takes place after the Treaty of Ghent has been signed, is the most decisive American victory of the war.
Example that may not be used
A war between to hostile nations
France and Great Britain—both of them hate’n
A Little colony known as the U.S.
didn’t want to partake of no mess
President Jefferson tried to start an embargo
but it didn’t change a thing—Oh NO! NO!
So little big boy called the U.S.
said their tired and ain’t taking no mess.
Before you know it we just jumped in
I told Great Britian this is how I am gonna treat you my friend
This will be the day you’ll remember for yourselves
Cause this is the start of the WAR of 1812!
Chorus This is the effects of it, of it
The effects of it, of it
