                    Hanging 320 feet above the capital in the dead of night, a 
                    team of technicians stealthily brought Big Ben into the Digital 
                    Age - an act that caused near-riots when dawn revealed the 
                    dramatic changes to shocked Londoners.</DIV>

                    the eerie red glow of LED digits peeking through the morning 
                    fog, bringing and end to almost 150 years of tradition. Even 
                    the famous bells have been replaced by an electronic version 
                    which allow for variable volume control and options for playing 
                    traditional tunes during holidays such as Christmas and New 
                    Years.</P></TD></TR></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/624FCD01-53E8-41ED-9D32-73CC124CB579/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
