How can one show a playlist on the right or bottom of the video using Flash Video Player plugin?
the same problem I have
Here's how it looks on my site. And here's the short code that goes with it ... should work for you as well.
[flashvideo file=http://www.yoursite.com/videos.xml /]
I use the playlist showing by default which is set in the Plugin's option page (you need to add the option to remove it if you use it else where and don't want the playlist). All this does is pointing to an XML file where you have your video details.
Did anyone using playlists notice that once you add an new video to the xml file the player doesn't seem to update? Also anyone got the preview image in lists working. I think I have it set up right but doesn't seem to work ... again could be an update problem.
Ok, so the updating process just takes some time but works like a charm!
It says to use the
<image> tag to add preview images to a playlist. Didn't work for me yet ... anyone go this working?
So here a dumb question... how do you create an .xml file? Can you do it from a category feed? Thank,
- Caleb
@calebmedia - no such thing as dumb questions! Here's a link to where you can learn all the basics you need to know about XML (it's not that hard). http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp
Here's a bit of mine as an example.
<rss version="2.0"

Of course you would replace "http://www.yourdomain.com/yoururl" with the url to your site, preview image and video file. Doesn't really matter where you place it on your server as long as you point to it in the playlist shortcut.

Question on images in WP:
Can the image automatically be resized to neatly fit the width of the theme? I have some users who have no clue about photo dimensions or reducing them.
Question on images in WP:
Can the image automatically be resized to neatly fit the width of the theme? I have some users who have no clue about photo dimensions or reducing them.
Then you have to teach them...
I don't know of any "automatic" image resizing. It always has to be done BEFORE uploading the image.
I'm trying to figure out how to add a small image to the left and right of my title. Can anyone help me with htis?
Title of what?
The title of my Blog is What's It All About, Jack? You can find it at http://www.whatsitallaboutjack.com. I would like to put small images of the 2 blog authors On the left and right of the title in the header.
I beg to differ - I don't know how it's done or what tag is used to control it, but somehow the wordpress default theme "resizes" images that are wider than the text column. Maybe it's taking the inefficient route of resizing in the browser by passing the width= parameter inside the img tag?
When I use the default theme with my blog (daverea.com) it shows the images cleanly the same width as the text column. Using other themes, if the image's pixel dimensions are wider than the text column, the image spills underneath the menus on the right side.
So it is possible, we just need to figure out how it's done.
As a follow-up to my last post, upon looking a little closer at the "resized" images that come through with the default theme, I'm noticing some "jaggies" in them that would indicate the image is being brute-force resized by the browser in response to a width= parameter inside an img tag.
How to get a theme to follow that behavior and include a width= forcing parameter is still beyond me, but I think that gets us a little closer...
The default theme does this with css.
p img {
padding: 0;
max-width: 100%;

Lakers Have Little Chance Without Starting Guards
Steve Blake? Out indefinitely. Jodie Meeks? Underwent an MRI after Game 2. Steve Nash? Doubtful. Kobe Bryant? Somewhere in Hollywood, a child with a 24 jersey sheds a single tear.
The Lakers could head into this game with recently-signed Andrew Goudelock and Darius Morris as their two starting guards. After spending most of the season excited for the Kobe and Nash show, this must come as an absolute blow to the ribs to Lakers fans.
But how badly will the Lakers' efficiency be effected on the court? I had numberFire Chief Analyst Keith Goldner run some numbers behind their injury bug. And the results are exactly as Lakers' fans worst nightmares have led them to believe: the Lakers don't have much hope with their pain in the backcourt.
The Odds
Even with their plethora of guards at the beginning of this series (meaning minus Kobe), the Lakers still didn't have a great chance to take this one from the Spurs. We gave them only a 32.7 percent chance of taking this one from San Antonio, and they've done nothing since then to make those odds even better.
With a healthy backcourt for Game 3, we assumed that the Lakers would hold a 13.9 percent chance at beating the Spurs. Granted, those odds aren't great, but they also aren't "Heading to my church/synagogue/mosque/Scientology center right now to pay" bad, either.
With Nash, Blake, and Meeks
|4 Games
|5 Games
|6 Games
|7 Games
|Total Win Odds
|San Antonio
|Los Angeles
Take those three guards out of the scenario, however, and the outlook seems about as grim as Pain and Gain's chances at Best Picture. Assuming a series where Goudelock and Morris are L.A.'s starters the rest of the time, their win odds drop to under 10 percent, and their chances of being swept bump up another three percent.
Without Nash, Blake, and Meeks
|4 Games
|5 Games
|6 Games
|7 Games
|Total Win Odds
|San Antonio
|Los Angeles
The Projected Stats
There is a good reason why their odds are in the gutter: the Lakers without Nash, Blake, and Meeks have certifiable Clogged Toilet efficiency. Say what you want about the defense of those three guards, but when they are on the court, Los Angeles is a drastically better team.
numberFire's nERD rating, as has been featured previously on SlamOnline throughout the season, measures a team's efficiency on a 0 to 100 scale with 50 as the average. All season, the Lakers were among the league's best eight teams, hanging around the 63 mark with Kobe heading up to the playoffs. Even without Kobe in Game 1, the Lakers were decent at a 57.2 nERD score.
But now? Without those three guards, the Lakers drop all the way to a 52.7 nERD score for Game 3. That puts them squarely as basically an average team, even with Dwight and Pau manning the paint. By the way, the Spurs are not an average team: their 66.5 nERD score ranks fifth in the NBA.
Our daily stat projections don't hold much hope for Goudelock and Morris, either. You know about Nash's 12.7 points and 6.7 assists per game this year, and both Meeks and Blake averaged over 10 points per 36 minutes as well. While the points may still be there, we'd be less than enthusiastic for the two guards tonight.
|Andrew Goudelock
|Darius Morris
With Goudelock, it's next to impossible to tell exactly how he's going to play. Those stats are based off of his 2012 numbers in 40 games with the Lakers; he only played one regular season game with them this year. But one thing's for sure: those numbers aren't going to help you beat the fifth-best team in the NBA.
The injury bug is never something you plan for, but it's absolutely something that can decimate a team. The Lakers are learning this lesson the hard way. It was a good run to make the playoffs in the first place over Utah, but that run will likely be coming to an end quicker than most Lakers fans had dreamed it would.

NY editor Nathan Byrne and director Evan Silver retrace teen debauchery in a stylish new 2:30 web film, "Reverse Party," promoting the U.S. version premiere of the smash-hit U.K. teen drama "Skins" for MTV. A high-definition version of the extended promo can be viewed HERE.
Produced direct-to-client, the promo takes viewers backward through a scandalous high school party with the stars of the American show, subtly hinting at series storylines throughout.
One of the U.K.'s most controversial and highest rated series on record, "Skins" takes an unflinching look at life as a modern teenager: sex, drugs and eating disorders galore. Tapping into the show's cult-like following, MTV's campaign—it's biggest off-channel media spend in network history—employs targeted print, outdoor, broadcast and online promotion; the cut-down versions of "Reverse Party" have already received over one million hits on YouTube and Skins.tv, and have aired on most networks and in cinemas nationwide.
The U.S. version of "Skins" premieres January 17th at 10pm/9c on MTV, with the 2:30 promo posting today on YouTube and Skins.tv.
Director Evan Silver was tasked to deliver both clean versions for air on ABC Family, Disney Channel and the like, and mature audience versions for air after 10pm on MTV and others. With creative license to 'show all,' Silver strove to create an authentic, uncensored night in the life of an American youth. Says Silver, "As long as we showed some repercussions from her actions, falling down the stairs or passing out for example, we were allowed to show teen partying as it is. That's what the show does, so giving an already-critical audience anything less wouldn't fly for them or MTV."
To achieve the realistic-but-stylized feel, the primary location was lit with hidden ceiling lights and shot in long, 360- degree moving takes with steadicam. The camera of choice, the much-hyped Arri Alexa, gave Silver the ability to move about the locations freely. Continues the director, "We choreographed story and character elements into all the actions—certain characters partying hard, others holding back, couples interplay etc.—and took special care to make things look believable in reverse. Once we knew how to execute that, for the main party, I blasted music and let the kids do their thing."
After a 2-day Toronto shoot, the footage was delivered to editor Nathan Byrne of Post Millennium, NY. Says Byrne, "Since the narrative was reversed, I transcoded the footage in reverse motion before I made my first edit. I don't think I ever saw a single scene in forward motion." Silver and Byrne stuck post-it notes on the wall, creating strings for each period of the night. Continues Byrne, "Our markers read 'Really F'd Up,' 'F'd Up,' and 'About to Get F'd Up,' then we set about building the piece's rhythm. We let the kids' expressions and movement dictate tone more than anything. Too much drug and sex imagery would be gratuitous and ultimately less believable."
Music also contributed greatly to the piece's tone and supported its reverse narrative. The U.K. series is known for being musically progressive and with MTV's resources, music supervisor David Hnatiuk helped fill the spot with lush sound effects and the hedonistic track 'KIDS' by up-and-comers Sleigh Bells.
"Reverse Party" opens on the character Michelle lying on a bed of soggy leaves next to a felled trashcan, makeup smeared all over. As a boozy smile creeps across her face, the night begins to replay in reverse motion. We're taken back through a party scene where teens engage in sex, drugs, binge drinking and a little dancing for good measure. Michelle's impaired state is quickly explained as we see her crash down a flight of stairs, pop a few pills washed down with multi-colored alcohol, text her boyfriend to meet in the bathroom for a steamy tryst and finally, back at the beginning of the night to deliver a quick lie to her mother: "Going out to study." The promo ends on Michelle meeting her friends at their car outside her home, followed by the Skins logo and super, "New Series. Monday 1/17, 10/9c."
Post Millennium, New York, is a New York City based creative editorial studio specializing in television, web, and branded experiential entertainment. Their editor Nathan Byrne's other Emmy award-winning editing for MTV can be seen online at http://www.postmillennium.com/.
Evan Silver has created some of the most talked about and forward thinking campaigns for MTV while working in their NY on-air promo department. It was at MTV where Silver refined his directing skills for comedy and performance while working alongside the likes of Jack Black, Michael Cera, Sarah Silverman, Aziz Ansari, Janet Jackson, Kristen Bell, Jennifer Lopez, Jeremy Renner, Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg and Alicia Keys.
Prior to MTV, Silver served as art director and writer at creative boutique agencies Kirshenbaum + Bond, Margeotes Fertitta and Partners, McCann Erikson, EURO RSCG, Wieden + Kennedy and Cliff Freeman.
Silver has received several awardstop honors and nomination, including an Emmy nomination, and Gracie, Gladd, Imagine, Andy, Creativity, Telly, BDA and Promax Awards. In 2010 the United Nations screened Evan's documentary on today's newest generation of kids, "GENERATION YOUTH" to a global audience at the Social Good Summit. It featured inspirational kids across the U.S. breaking old stereotypes and taboos to live meaningful lives.

UPDATE: TCF Bank declines to advertise with City Pages, too
Earlier this month, when TCF Financial Corporation chief Bill Cooper declared that he was yanking all of the bank's advertising from the Star Tribune, he wasted no time staking out the moral high ground. After all, this was a matter of honor, and the time had come to do battle with those reckless, lying leftists at the Newspaper of the Twin Cities, otherwise known as the Star and Sickle.
Specifically, Cooper was irked by an end-of-the-year Strib column that attacked a local right-wing blog called Power Line. Noting that Power Line is penned in part by TCF vice-president Scott Johnson, columnist Nick Coleman all but called for a consumer boycott of TCF. In Cooper's view, Coleman (and by extension the Strib) was assailing TCF for the free-speech activities of an employee. Those activities, Cooper insisted, had nothing--absolutely nothing--to do with TCF.
But after examining Johnson's time-dated posts, Power Line's critics on the left--including Coleman--surmised that Johnson does, in fact, blog on company time, meaning that TCF is in effect subsidizing Power Line's pro-war, neo-con agenda. Further teasing out this line of reasoning, a few lefty bloggers argued that the time has come for progressive-minded TCF customers to find another place to stash their money.
When contacted by City Pages, Cooper said he had checked into the matter of Johnson's blogging routine and found that the Big Trunk--Johnson's blogging nom de guerre--"didn't do any of this at work." For his part, Johnson--rankled by what he called a "shitty piece" about the Strib-Power Line-TCF brouhaha that appeared in City Pages two weeks ago--refused to answer any questions about his blogging routine. After asking to speak off the record (sorry, request denied), the Big Trunk promptly hung up the telephone.
Maybe banker's hours are more relaxed these days than any of us realize. Or maybe Johnson is pounding out his fulminations on the company clock. In the end, who really cares? Even by the least charitable view, Johnson's transgressions amount to nothing more than a garden-variety case of on-the-job internet slacking, which is a near-universal feature of the modern American workplace.
Lost in all these minutiae is a much larger point. TCF, which was a struggling S&L before Bill Cooper took control, owes much of its current success to the ability to attract low- and moderate-income customers. Politically speaking, however, the company is a straight-up high roller, and an avid fellow traveler of the Republican political machine.
To begin with, there is Cooper himself, who is the former chair of the state Republican Party, former board member of the Center of the American Experiment, and founder of a group called the Conservative Council, which has made a mission of purging Republicrats--i.e., moderate Republicans--from the party. Meanwhile, over the last three election cycles, Cooper and his wife Sharon have been among the party's more generous benefactors, doling out approximately $171,000 in contributions to assorted GOP candidates and causes.
More notable, however, is the overall giving pattern at TCF. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks money in politics, TCF has consistently ranked in the top 10 savings & loans nationwide in terms of overall political contributions. In 2002 and 2004, according to the Center, 100 percent of the TCF contributions went to Republicans; in 2000--an off year for company ideologues?--the figure was a mere 99 percent.
By way of comparison, the top 20 savings & loans were considerably more even-handed in their giving patterns. In 2004, for instance, 53 percent of S&L contributions went to Republicans and 47 percent to Democrats. Among the top 10, TCF was the only organization to give exclusively to Republicans.
UPDATE: Move over, Star Tribune!

The first steel beams in the Kauffman Center superstructure were installed on December 3, 2008.
This begins a process that will take 12 full months to complete.
Fifty steel installers will join the crew for this part of construction.
With the help of the tower crane, the first beam is moved into place.
The first beams, precisely fabricated for their place in the superstructure, were installed near the concert hall.
Moving the first beam into place, just west of the concert hall's inner wall.
The beam is moved into place by the tower crane operator and guided by steel installers.
The beam is fabricated for this precise placement.
The first steel beam is in place (with many more to come).
And the process is repeated a second time.
Two beams installed (looking south).

The Etiquette of Free Hugs
Who says New York isn't warm and fuzzy?
For years, groups of volunteers have hunkered down from Columbus Circle to Times Square, bearing signs reading "Free hugs." On Friday, one such cluster used the strategy to raise awareness of—and sell T-shirts and pins for—LightSource, a spiritual nonprofit. The Rev. Solomon Seagal, a life coach and volunteer coordinator, estimated his huggers give out 1,000 a day.
Tito Antonio, 26 years old, said that between one and 300 of those are his because he wants "to get people to stop fighting."
That may not always be the end result. A huggee in Times Square grabbed his rear while another girl "asked for a hug, and she started kissing me all over my face," Mr. Antonio said. This would seem to violate one of the four rules of "free hug etiquette": always be polite; respect the other person's boundaries and comfort; retain cleanliness; and be safe. But Mr. Antonio didn't mind. "I told her to keep going," he said. "And then I got her number."
Some recipients are less receptive, said Amy Robin, 18. "Sometimes people give me the ew face," she said.
The business isn't as dirty as it may seem: "If someone does not look hygienic, you don't have to give them a hug," Mr. Seagal said. With that, he opened his black duffel, pulled out a can of Axe, and sprayed an unsuspecting member of his troupe.

New stage build
Ok, ive kinda given up on PVP with Ryan, soo, i wanted to try a Hybrid build, but mostly focused on Stage..
any advice would be good, tyty
(last 4 points is for RB Impartial)
Lunia Skill Calculator(JP)
Leave regular amp rail at 1. The damage increase isn't large enough to warrant the higher mana cost.
ok, then, should i just put it to HP Recov?
Since you just said staging and not specifically mything, then yes, max HP regen would be useful.
^ naw, u can manage without hp regan. and I don't max ion bomb, i rather max concentrated shot or New rb Impartial shot.
Max concentrated shot disgusts me. About 5 shots dealing mediocre damage and a long duration? No thanks. I wouldn't max it for defense in stages, because lvl1 does perfectly fine against, and any level concentrated shot is nearly useless against OP unflinchable bosses. It's also poor in offense, since it takes three seconds for just 600~800 dmg. If I wanted another dmg skill, I would max Flame Impact because it's faster, cancellable, and a hkd, which works wonders against mobs.
HP regen isn't necessary, but it's useful if you plan on soloing or staging without any healers. You're actually perfectly fine with just iron bomb, the railguns, your rb skills, and your slide shots. The rest is just icing on the cake.

The new home of
The lovely spa town of Buxton lies just outside, but is surrounded by, the Peak District National Park and is the highest market town in England. It's easy access to the National Park and its fine Georgian architecture provides for a perfect cottage holiday in the Peak District.
The Romans first occupied Buxton in 70AD and named the town Aquae Arnemetiae because of the warm springs found there; its history as an important spa town continued until the early 20th century. Today Buxton has an excellent collection of independent shops, a shopping arcade and there are markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays; ideal for stocking up on your cottage provisions.
In town you'll find the Pavilion Gardens, which extends for 23 acres of ornamental gardens, walking trails, lakes, children's play area and a miniature railway. Buxton Opera House hosts the Buxton Festival, a prestigious opera and arts festival, each July as well as many other events throughout the year.
Poole Cavern is a popular destination for visitors to Buxton. This two million year old limestone cave is thought to be named after a 15th century outlaw called Poole, who used it as a hideout. Visitors can see various chambers extending over 310 metres, although the system is thought to extend further than this.
From the car park beside the cavern you can follow the woodland path and explore Buxton Country Park. There is plenty of wildlife to see here, and some uncommon wild flowers can be seen on the summit of Grin Low, at 437 metres above sea level. This is an ideal place for a picnic on summer days, although there is a cafe in the cavern's visitor centre. At the summit of Grin Hill, Solomon's Temple, a folly built in 1896, marks the site of an ancient burial ground.
To enjoy a break in the Peak district see our cottages in Buxton.

Nestling in the stunning scenery of Goyt Valley this wing of the owner's farmhouse retains many of its original features and beams. This spacious holiday accommodation, situated on a working farm, is in an ideal place to explore this lovely area, and is also in a conservation area, with walks from the doorstep. It is 1 mile from Whaley Bridge where you can stroll along the tow path to the Buxworth Basin or take a narrow boat trip. Whaley Bridge also has a train station to help explore if you want to leave the car behind. You could spend a day in Manchester and take in a show for the evening. 6½ miles away is the famous spa town of Buxton which also boasts an opera house and Pavilion Gardens. Book a day in the Dome Spa to relax or travel a little further and visit Chatsworth House and its amazing gardens and estate. Medieval Haddon Hall and the old market town of Bakewell is a must and you can travel through Winnets Pass to the charming village of Castleton with its famous caves where the Blue John stone is mined.

Trouble with history when using bash vi bindings on iTerm2 on Lion. (I had the same problem with iTerm when I switched to Lion.)
Hard to explain exactly, but when I hit k to go to most recent command, it pushes the cursor forward a few characters, so it's no longer at start of line. And if I then hit k again, it doesn't clear the characters before the cursor.

All the trimmings complete an entree and make a meal more festive. But when it comes to decorating, there are widely varying appetites for trims.
One camp sees garnishes on upholstery, curtains, bedding and lamps as a visual feast to be devoured. Another view is that furnishings dripping in ornamentation are like too much salt that can ruin a good recipe.
In moderation, seasoning your furnishings with trims can add zest to an interior. The French have a word for it: "passementerie," a term that describes a sumptuous style of silk trimmings that graced the palaces of Louis XIV, XV and XVI.
Passementerie was a symbol of wealth. In the 17th and 18th centuries, gilded furniture often was festooned with tassels, bows and rosettes - the more icing, the better.
Inspirational: Patterned fabrics such as this fruit and foliage motif can be enhanced with trims that draw from its palette. The double tassel tieback and bobble fringe on an intricately woven braid with a floral pattern in the Cordelia collection is made from wool and viscose by Houles and was inspired by influences from Provence.
c. Lisa Morrice for Houles
Although the French perfected the art, ornamental silk passementerie also was known in Renaissance Italy and was found on papal vestments as well as in the homes of nobility.
Decorative trims, as with any ornamentation, go through cycles of popularity.
In the 1980s no window went bare. Most were swathed in layers decorated with grand flourishes. Upholstery also reaped all sorts of fringe benefits.
"People have always embellished furniture to make it their own," said Laura Heath, president of Interiors Fine Furniture, 2711 Stanley Circle. "It's something that's come around again."
Fashion Inspired: Suzanne Houles designed this collection of trims for Nicodecor with a mix-and-match approach inspired by fashion. The thick cotton tiebacks and key tassels from the Rumba collection coordinate with wool throws from the Haras collection. Decorative pillows and sheers in organdy from the Myriade collection add another layer of defining texture. The hardware from the Tantulo collection comes in a variety of design motifs.
Lisa Morrice for Houles
Today's designs are less fussy. Finishing touches can take the form of fringe, tassels, beads (glass, metal and wood), braid, ribbon, cord and gimp, a flat, narrow, woven tape often used by upholsterers to camouflage and decorate seams.
But curiously, the same trims sometimes appeal both to those who fancy traditional decor and those who crave contemporary styles.
Look closely and you'll see that almost every chair or sofa has some sort of piping or flat welt to camouflage areas that are seamed.
"There's such a wide variety that it can go from ultra contemporary to really traditional," Heath said. "It runs the gamut."
Taste of Modern: Decorative ribbons such as these woven by Laura Foster Nicholson can be used to trim throws or cut to adorn pillows. Although some of the motifs are inspired by historic textiles, the weaver's approach is more contemporary - "kicky, modern and artistic," as she puts it.

Most often the edging is sewn from the same fabric and blends regardless of whether it is a solid color or print.
But when a contrast color is chosen, it makes a bold punctuation. A recent ad for Sure Fit, a company that sells slipcovers, was eye-catching in its simplicity.
It featured a slipcovered sofa as hot as its Tabasco red fabric and sizzling with white piping.
How much of a decorative punch the trim delivers depends on the two (or more) colors or whether a solid color is teamed with a pattern.
Black outlining the contours of a white chair is more expressive than a subtle black piping on a black-and-white toile curtain.
Yet both decorate in a distinctive way, taking the design well beyond the ordinary. Even manufacturers of outdoor cushions have found that the simplest way to dress their products is with contrast piping.
"Too much is overwhelming," Heath said, "but in moderation it makes everything a little more interesting."
Another option is to use a fabric in three-dimensional shapes. In a fall catalog, Gump's By Mail featured a lamp with a contemporary base of steel in a satin nickel finish.
Perched on top of a skinny rod was a cylindrical silk shade covered with roses made out of silk.
It's a surprising dichotomy, but one that could find a home in a traditionally decorated bedroom as easily as an urban loft.
In the same catalog were sheer organza placemats bordered with floral petals and nightlights with silk shades accented with delicate beads and flowers.
Such dimensional objects add depth and flair to flat surfaces, and that's one reason for the appeal of passementerie. The threads or yarns that combine to weave tassels or fringe also add texture.
Tone-on-tone adornments can lend sophistication to a piece of furniture.
Designers who prefer neutrals love the subtlety of teaming a silky fringe on the skirt of a chair or ottoman cloaked in a woven material such as chenille.
"Neutrals are so popular because they are a nice palette for whatever you want to display," Heath said. "They're a nice background for all your points of interest."
Recently Donghia Furniture/Textiles Ltd., a company known for high-end contemporary style, introduced a line of metallic hand-woven trims. The braided cords and fringes feature real copper and silver threads that make them shimmer in the light.
A common approach in traditional decor is to pull several colors from a printed fabric to create a companion trim.
At the high end, designers have threads custom matched to fabrics, clearly a pricey option. When the palette is unusual, a perfect match is even more dramatic.
Suzanne Houles was inspired by ethnic influences from Provence in the design of the Cordelia collection for Houles, a Paris-based manufacturer of luxury trimmings sold only to the trade.
One example features a large double tassel tieback and bobble fringe in vivid hues teaming olive green, coral and amethyst. An intricately woven slender braid with a floral pattern is a stylish border for the edges of a pleated gingham lampshade.
Houles, vice president and creative director of Houles Worldwide, has a fashion-forward eye to bold color, especially in her Nicodecor collection.
The mid-priced group of trims, fabrics, hardware and other design accessories was created for a more youthful design spirit and the do-it-yourself market.
Houles even offers drapery hardware to match electrifying blues, acid yellows and greens in the line.
"Today's multifaceted approach to decorating signals a move away from disciplined interiors," Houles said.
"Designers are mixing textures, blending fabrics and introducing exciting colors to create less serious environments."
Laura Foster Nicholson took a playful approach with a line of jacquard woven brocaded ribbons and trims, another means of making furnishings more fancy.
A Chicago-based weaver who designs tapestries and fabric, she took some of her larger motifs and translated them to minifriezes featuring trees with a strong Arts and Crafts look, chard whose lime green leaves and rhubarb stems seem to leap from a deep purple ground, and charming decorated cakes on pedestals against pastel backdrops.
A single embellishment, such as one of Nicholson's patterned ribbons along the middle of a table runner or bordering a blanket, beautifully dresses a plain fabric in a fun way.
David Bright, a spokesman for Robert Allen, a furniture and fabric manufacturer with many coordinating trim collections, said that interiors are taking more cues from fashion.
"This fall there is an explosion of printed florals," Bright said. "And trim that is unexpected and chic becomes very appealing."
Bright said that although the latest trims are based on a real European tradition of design, they now have a "cleaner aesthetic."
"It's still about embellishment," he said.
"But we're combining new materials with new textures and in colors that are perhaps more appealing to modern tastes. Trims can be highly embellished or pared down. But the textural dimension trims bring to a home are sensational."

Cantor's GOP re-branding effort 'suspended' because of 'relentless attacks from the left.'
In April 2009, Republican leaders, led by House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), launched an initiative called the National Council for a New America as a "new effort to revive the image of the Republican Party." Though Cantor and other Republican leaders promised that the organization would "listen" to the American people, they held only one townhall meeting in a pizza parlor in Arlington, VA before largely going silent. Today, Roll Call reports that the group has officially been put on ice:
Cantor aides explained that the group has been "suspended" one year after its splashy launch in part because of the intense negative attention it received from the Democratic campaign committees and other groups after its introduction.
The NCNA was intended to be a traveling forum of Republican leaders who could engage the public in a broad-ranging discussion of hot-button issues.
Cantor spokesman John Murray said despite 5,000 positive news hits, the "relentless attacks from the left" became overwhelming to the whip office soon after its launch.
"I think now, we are in a suspended state," Murray said.
Former Cantor deputy chief of staff Rob Collins, who is now president of the American Action Network, claimed to Roll Call that Cantor's group was ultimately thwarted because it "dominated the national media so effectively that liberals in and out of Congress — including [Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington] — attacked it." In July 2009, CREW filed an ethics complaint against NCNA for allegedly using official House resources for political purposes. "What we wanted was for them to stop because we thought it violated the rules," CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan told Roll Call. "I'm glad they agreed."
The National Council for a New America's website has not been "suspended" yet and their "national panel of experts," which features Sarah Palin," is still prominent.

Error-correcting code, as in a type of memory that can correct single-bit errors. ECC memory is typically found on servers and workstations, where maximum reliability is required.
Information in modern computers is often stored in fixed quantities. E.g. eight bits may be stores as one byte.
Memory is reasonably stable and it is possible to just store the information as it is. However in rare cases the information becomes corrupted. In order to detect this corruption you need to store additonal information.
This can be done by adding an extra bit, the so-called parity bit. This allows you to detect single bit errors. It does not detect double bit errors nor can you reconstruct the informtion lost.
This is not always good enough. In those cases ECC is used. ECC uses an inteligent method to store 8 bits of information in 10 bits (thus is needs more cells and is more expensive). This allows it to correct a single bit error or detect up to two bits errors.
A simplified explanation of how this worked taken from this post here on SU
Imagine a 0 or an 1. If I read either then I just have to hope I read the right thing. If a 0 got flipped to a 1 by some cosmic radiation or by a bad chip then I will never know.
In the past we tried to solve that with parity. Parity was adding a ninth bit per 8 bits stored. We checked how many zeros and how many 1 were in the byte. The ninth was set to make that a even number. (for even parity) If you ever read a byte and the number was wrong, then you knew something was wrong. You do not know which bit was wrong though.
ECC expanded on that. It uses 10 bits and a complex algorithm to discover when a single bit has flipped. It also knows what the original value was. A very simple way to explain how it does that would be this:
Replace all 0s with 000. Replace all 1s with 111.
Now you can read six combinations:
We are never 100% sure what was originally stored. If we read 000 then that might have been just the 000 which we were expecting, or all three bits might have flipped. The latter is very unlikely. Bits do not randomly flip, though it does happen. Let say that happens one in ten times for some easy calculations (reality is much less). That works out to the following chances of reading the correct value:
000 -> Either 000 (99.9% sure), or a triple flip (1/1000 chance)
001 -> We know something has gone wrong. But it either was 000 and one bit flipped (1:10 chance), or it was 111 and two bits have flipped (a 1:100 chance). So let's treat it as if we read 000 but log the error.
010 -> Same as above.
100 -> Same as above.
011 -> Same as above, but assuming it was a 111
101 -> Same as above, but assuming it was a 111
110 -> Same as above, but assuming it was a 111
111 -> Either 111 (99.9% sure), or a triple flip (1/1000 chance)
111 -> Either 000 (99.9% sure), or a triple flip (1/1000 chance)
ECCs does similar tricks but does it more efficiently. For 8 bits (one byte) they only use 10 bits to detect and correct.

i have put my traxxas slayer threw way harder bashing than i would the redcat... b\c i know the traxxas won't break the jump i take in the slayer would break the volcano in half almost..... its just...
blink u can get a brand new motor for 50 bucks the sh.18, threw the engine replacement program that redcat has... but i would just break down and buy a traxxas i have sooo many problems with these...
i haven't had one problem out of my slayer, unlike my redcat that brought the first 2 tanks of gas through it, didn't even get through breakin with out it breaking hahah .... been running it for a...
the spur gear on the single gear trans i put on my volcano looks like a beast compared to the stock ones.... but i also haven't got to run any of my redcats in a month or sooo
maybe the other plastic pieces, could be made harder also... like spur gears
take it back and get a traxxas!!!!
i have a traxxas slayer.... and soo happy with that truck prob done with redcat and going to prob sell everything
i don't like them.... they look super cheap... and spend more time fixing them, instead of playing with them...
i want to get one hahahaha
i heard when puttting the upgraded muffler on it... it soo soo LOUD, and hard to run it around people.
i could still take the bummers off and it would make the volcano look like a 1/12 scale.. hahah
they don't have parts for the vortexx that i have found, i was looking at getting one but couldn't find any hop ups or parts so i went with the traxxas slayer instead im glad i did
i lined them up with bummer to bummer ill get some more up in couple days when i get the volcano back built up
i think redcat might just need to stick with RTM... b\c there servos, recivers, and transmitters are crap!!!!
yea so far the slayer has been the best rc iv own and it WAY bigger than the volcano.. yea had some trouble with the clutch bell on my volcano the one i order, when i got it was all bent up haha...
looks like i need to fix that tire too... in the second pic
Just pick up this bad boy a couple of days ago it is a Traxxas Slayer.. Look how much difference between the 2...

Confirmation a flag referendum would be held during the next
parliamentary term prompted an immediate response yesterday
from at least one flag-waving loyalist.
New Zealand flags made by Adams Flags have been flown on top
of Mt Everest and in the Antarctic and remain the company's
biggest seller.
Co-owner Richelle Adams said Mr Key's announcement prompted a
customer who had never flown a flag before to buy one, ''as
he does not want the flag to change''.
Nor did she think the silver fern - Mr Key's personal
preference - was the flag people wanted.
''We are not that fussed on it as an official flag, as the
fern itself is not endemic to us. And being a black flag,
some people don't like it.''
Mrs Adams said the flag-maker regularly produced customers'
own versions of how the New Zealand flag should look and ''we
have seen some great designs''.
She preferred a colourful ''iconic'' flag like Canada's.

Evaluating another person's emotions based on facial expressions can sometimes be a complex task. As it turns out, this process isn't so easy for the brain to sort out either. Building on previous studies targeting the amygdala, a region in the brain known to be important for the processing of emotional reactions, a team of researchers from Caltech, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, have found that some brain cells recognize emotions based on the viewer's preconceptions rather than the true emotion being expressed. In other words, it's possible for the brain to be biased. The team was able to record these responses from single neurons using existing electrodes—indicated by the arrows in the MRI image at right—placed in the brains of patients who were being treated for epilepsy. Participants were shown images of partially obscured faces showing either happiness or fear (see secondary image) and were asked to guess the emotion being shown. According to the researchers, the brain responded similarly whether or not the patient guessed the correct emotion.
"These are very exciting findings suggesting that the amygdala doesn't just respond to what we see out there in the world, but rather to what we imagine or believe about the world," says Ralph Adolphs, the Bren Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Caltech and coauthor of a paper that discusses the team's study. "It's particularly interesting because the amygdala has been linked to so many psychiatric diseases, ranging from anxiety to depression to autism. All of those diseases are about experiences happening in the minds of the patients, rather than objective facts about the world that everyone shares."
What's next? Says Shuo Wang, a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech and first author of the paper, "Of course, the amygdala doesn't accomplish anything by itself. What we need to know next is what happens elsewhere in the brain, so we need to record not only from the amygdala, but also from other brain regions with which the amygdala is connected."
The paper, which also included Caltech postdoctoral scholar Oana Tudusciuc, was published on June 30 in the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Trillions of bacteria live in and on the human body; a few species can make us sick, but many others keep us healthy by boosting digestion and preventing inflammation. Although there's plenty of evidence that these microbes play a collective role in human health, we still know very little about most of the individual bacterial species that make up these communities. Employing the use of a specially designed glass chip with tiny compartments, Caltech researchers now provide a way to target and grow specific microbes from the human gut—a key step in understanding which bacteria are helpful to human health and which are harmful.
The work was published the week of June 23 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Although a few bacterial species are easy to grow in the laboratory, needing only a warm environment and plenty of food to multiply, most species that grow in and on the human body have never been successfully grown in lab conditions. It's difficult to recreate the complexity of the microbiome—the entire human microbial community—in one small plate (a lidded dish with nutrients used to grow microbes), says Rustem Ismagilov, Ethel Wilson Bowles and Robert Bowles Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Caltech.
There are thousands of species of microbes in one sample from the human gut, Ismagilov says, "but when you grow them all together in the lab, the faster-growing bacteria will take over the plate and the slow-growing ones don't have a chance—leading to very little diversity in the grown sample." Finding slow-growing microbes of interest is like finding a needle in a haystack, he says, but his group wanted to work out a way to "just grow the needle without growing the hay."
To do this, Liang Ma, a postdoctoral scholar in Ismagilov's lab, developed a way to isolate and cultivate individual bacterial species of interest. He and his colleagues began by looking for bacterial species that contained a set of specific genetic sequences. The targeted gene sequences belong to organisms on the list of "Most Wanted" microbes—a list developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Microbiome Project. The microbes carrying these genetic sequences are found abundantly in and on the human body, but have been difficult to grow in the lab.
To grow these elusive microbes, the Caltech researchers turned to SlipChip, a microfluidic device previously developed in Ismagilov's lab. SlipChip is made up of two glass slides, each the size of a credit card, that have tiny etched grooves which become channels when the grooved surfaces are stacked atop one another. When a sample—say, a jumbled-up assortment of bacteria species collected from a colonoscopy biopsy—is added to the interconnected channels of the SlipChip, a single "slip" of the top chip will turn the channels into individual wells, with each well ideally holding a single microbe. Once sequestered in an isolated well, each individual bacterium can divide and grow without having to compete for resources with other types of faster-growing microbes.
The researchers then needed to determine which compartment of the SlipChip contained a colony of the target bacterium—which is not a simple task, says Ismagilov. "It's a Catch-22—you have to kill the organism in order to find its DNA sequence and figure out what it is, but you want a live organism at the end of the day, so that you can grow and study this new microbe," he says. "Liang solves this in a really clever way; he grows a compartment full of his target microbe in the SlipChip, then he splits the compartment in half. One half contains the live organism and the other half is sacrificed for its DNA to confirm that the sequence is that of the target microbe."
The method of creating two halves in each well in the SlipChip will be published separately in an upcoming issue of the journal Integrative Biology.
To validate the new methodology, the researchers isolated one specific bacterium from the Human Microbiome Project's "Most Wanted" list. The investigators used the SlipChip to grow this bacterium in a tiny volume of the washing fluid that was used to collect the gut bacteria sample from a volunteer. Since bacteria often depend on nutrients and signals from the extracellular environment to support growth, the substances from this fluid were used to recreate this environment within the tiny SlipChip compartment—a key to successfully growing the difficult organism in the lab.
After growing a pure culture of the previously unidentified bacterium, Ismagilov and his colleagues obtained enough genetic material to sequence a high-quality draft genome of the organism. Although a genomic sequence of the new organism is a useful tool, further studies are needed to learn how this species of microbe is involved in human health, Ismagilov says.
In the future, the new SlipChip technique may be used to isolate additional previously uncultured microbes, allowing researchers to focus their efforts on important targets, such as those that may be relevant to energy applications and the production of probiotics. The technique, says Ismagilov, allows researchers to target specific microbes in a way that was not previously possible.
The paper is titled "Gene-targeted microfluidic cultivation validated by isolation of a gut bacterium listed in Human Microbiome Project's Most Wanted taxa." In addition to Liang and Ismagilov, other coauthors include, from Caltech, associate scientist Mikhail A. Karymov, graduate student Jungwoo Kim, and postdoctoral scholar Roland Hatzenpichler, and, from the University of Chicago department of medicine, Nathanial Hubert, Ira M. Hanan, and Eugene B. Chang. The work was funded by NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute. Microfluidic technologies developed by Ismagilov's group have been licensed to Emerald BioStructures, RanDance Technologies, and SlipChip Corporation, of which Ismagilov is a cofounder.
The 59th Annual Staff Service Awards will be presented in Beckman Auditorium on Monday, June 2, at 10 a.m. During the ceremony, more than 250 staff members whose service ranges from 10 to 50 years will be honored. A full list of awardees can be found here.
This week we are featuring Caltech staff members who will be recognized for 40 and 45 years of service to the Institute.
The honorees include three 40-year staff members: Eugene Akutagawa, a senior scientist in biology and a member of the professional staff; Susi Martin, assistant to the Board of Trustees; and Steve Vass, a senior instrument specialist at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO).
Eugene Akutagawa graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in microbiology; a help-wanted ad in the Los Angeles Times for a lab assistant brought him to Caltech, where "I was standing in the hallway, waiting to be interviewed, and there's [Nobel Laureate] Max Delbrück coming out of the lab. To me, a microbiologist, he was like a god, and there he was, right in my face—so I knew this place was going to be great. And I liked its smallness, especially contrasted with UCLA, where undergraduate biology classes were 700 or 800 people spilling into the aisles."
Nevertheless, his first job proved unrewarding. "I was implanting electrodes in rats and watching them press the lever until they pooped out," Akutagawa recalls. (The lab belonged to Research Associate Marianne Olds, whose husband, Bing Professor of Behavioral Biology James Olds, had discovered the brain's pleasure center more than two decades earlier.) "Then one day, I was sitting in the parking lot eating my lunch, and a mockingbird landed on a bush and started singing his heart out. I thought, 'I know he's not really singing words, but he's communicating. It would be interesting to study that.' And lo and behold, within a few months Mark Konishi [now the Bing Professor of Behavioral Biology, Emeritus] came here from Princeton."
Konishi had already made a name for himself studying songbirds and owls, so Akutagawa changed labs. The job interview was informal, Akutagawa recalls. "Mark said, 'What experience do you have?' And I said, 'Well, when I was growing up in Hawaii, I tried to save nestlings that had fallen out of their nests.' And he looked at me very sternly and said, 'What did you feed them?' I said, 'Rice. And water.' 'Did any of them live?' 'Nope. They all died.' I think he appreciated my honesty. He never told me I got the job, but he went over to the chalkboard and drew a football shape. He said, 'That's canary seed. That goes to canaries and white-crowned sparrows.' And he drew a little circle, and he says, 'That's millet. That goes to the finches.'"
Within a decade Akutagawa had become a full-fledged collaborator, doing the meticulous microscopy needed to trace fine neural circuitry. In 1985, Konishi and Akutagawa published a paper that showed why male zebra finches sing and females don't: specialized neurons in the male's brain flourish and develop many connections, but in females they atrophy and die. Says Akutagawa, "Our relationship eventually evolved into me doing my own independent research. It's been quite a ride, I must say." The ride, however, is nearing its end; Konishi has retired, and Akutagawa will be following suit.
"I love this job," Akutagawa continues. "It's more like a hobby. It's just an amazing place to work, in large part because Mark was just an incredible supervisor. He gave us a lot of freedom, which spurs a lot of good science."
Susi Martin works in the Caltech president's office as assistant to the Board of Trustees. The Board has 85 members and meets five times a year, and Martin manages their comings and goings. She says, "I arrange transportation to and from the airport, hotels, whatever assistance they need. It could be anything." During her tenure, she's moved from a Selectric typewriter to a Filemaker Pro database to the Internet; from three-ring binders to PDFs.
Martin began her Caltech career in the procurement division at JPL before joining the office of then-director Bruce Murray. After a special assignment supporting the Seasat mission's Failure Review Board in 1978, she moved on to one of JPL's early biomedical technology projects before transferring to the Lab's office of planning and review. It was there in April, 1981 that Hardy Martel (BS '49, PhD '56), an electrical engineering professor and the secretary to Caltech's Board of Trustees, called to inquire whether she'd consider moving to campus. One of Martin's former colleagues in the director's office, Mary Webster, had joined the staff of Caltech president Marvin Goldberger earlier that year; when Martel became in need of an assistant, Webster had recommended Martin.
From 1988 to 1994, Martin also served first as assistant secretary and then secretary to the board of directors of the California Association for Research in Astronomy (CARA), a partnership set up by Caltech and the University of California to build and operate the W. M. Keck Observatory on the summit of Mauna Kea.
"I love working with the trustees," Martin says. "It is an honor and a delight—they are a truly remarkable group of individuals, and it is a privilege to facilitate their work on behalf of Caltech." Over the past 33 years, no two days have been the same, she says. "The challenges have been interesting, but the rewards have been awesome and tremendously diverse." For example, Martin was at JPL for the landing of the Mars rover Curiosity, staffing one of the rooms set up for the trustees. "Seeing that first image of the rover's shadow cast on the surface was just amazing," she recalls. "To see something nobody else had ever seen—to be a part of that history—was so cool."
While Akutagawa and Martin have essentially stayed put, Steve Vass has occupied eight different offices in three of Caltech's academic divisions. Vass was born and raised in Hungary, where he learned electronics at a trade school. "I had some college but not too much." He eventually came to the United States, where he landed a job in Caltech's biology division in the laboratory of then-professor Leroy Hood (BS '60, PhD '68). Vass helped Hood and postdoc Michael Hunkapiller (PhD '74) build the protein sequenator, which automatically determines the sequence of amino acids that make up a protein. Two decades later, this machine and the other ones developed in the Hood lab—the protein synthesizer, the DNA synthesizer, and the DNA sequenator—would spark the biotech revolution of the 1990s.
In the early 1980s, Vass moved to the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, where he built X-ray diffractometers for physical chemist Richard Dickerson. Dickerson used them to make high-precision measurements of DNA's crystal structure—both its usual right-handed spiral and the less common left-handed form.
In 1987, Vass moved again—to the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy and the LIGO project. LIGO searches for the gravitational waves that Einstein predicted would be generated by the motions of extremely massive bodies—colliding black holes being an oft-cited example. The detector consists of twin interferometers, each with a perpendicular set of 4-kilometer-long arms, that were built in Louisiana and Washington in the late 1990s. When Vass joined the project, the design's details were being worked out in a prototype interferometer with 40-meter arms that had been built on the Caltech campus. Nearly two decades later, the 40-meter prototype remains the proving ground for next-generation ideas.
Vass describes how LIGO changed his perspective: "In biology, people said, 'Oh, if we only had a good chemist, we would hit it out of the park.' Then in chemistry they said, 'Oh, if we had a really good electronics guy, we would be just the best.' But in physics, they say, 'We know everything. We can do it ourselves.'"
"Basically, I run the lab, but the fun part is you get to do everything. This morning, I've been hunting for 'ground loops.' The east end of the interferometer has a 60-Hertz hum, which is line current, and it's ruining the spectrum. So I'm going around with an ohmmeter looking for something disconnected—or something connected that shouldn't be. My job is to prepare the best possible environment to get good science done."
LIGO measures the distance between suspended mirrors to within a billionth of the diameter of an atom by bouncing a laser beam between them, so Vass begins his mornings making sure the interferometer hasn't lost lock. "If people stayed really late the night before, things will be fine," he says. "But if they left at 10 p.m., everything will have drifted a little. And earthquakes affect the machine. It's much better designed against quakes now, but in earlier days if we had a local magnitude 4, our precious glass might have fallen and gotten chipped, or our mirror coating could have been ruined. Back then it was a baby, and I've seen it grow up with my kids. I have grandkids now, and someday LIGO will produce something, too—some cosmic event will happen close by, and we'll see it."
"I have to say thank you to all the people who've helped me grow," Vass concludes. "I've learned a lot here and had a lot of fun doing it."
Today we celebrate Ditch Day, one of Caltech's oldest traditions. During this annual spring rite—the timing of which is kept secret until the last minute—seniors ditch their classes and vanish from campus. Before they go, however, they leave behind complex, carefully planned out puzzles and challenges—known as "stacks"—designed to occupy the underclass students and prevent them from wreaking havoc on the seniors' unoccupied rooms.
Follow the action on Caltech's Facebook and Twitter pages as the undergraduates tackle the puzzles left around campus for them to solve, and get in on the conversation by sharing your favorite Ditch Day memories. Be sure to use #CaltechDitchDay in your tweets and postings.
