I suppose you don't know how to, ahem, liberate stuff from websites.

The HTML code that displays it is quite simple:
<div id="top" style="background-image:url(images/process_mural.jpg);">
<div id="slider"></div>

Subject: letting it ring? (UNCLASSIFIED)

I haven't posted here in a while. Last night, I heard comment on Family
Radio (on Harold Camping call-in program "Open Forum") about letting the
phone ring. This reminded me of what Larry King did years ago -- tell HIS
listeners who are calling in to let the phone ring. Some systems have a
limit on how long the phone can ring.
(This is NOT related to those "May 21 judgement day" billboards some of you
may have seen.)
