You will all benefit by building an 98/2000/XP box for running games such as this. Windows Vista/7/8 are terrible and are not compatible with old games, mainly due to its 64-bit nature but also due to other conflicts (lack of compatibility with ADLIB to name one). My main PC (this one) is a souped up XP machine and I can run games back from the 80s with no problem. And you can find/build a similar machine for very _very_ little money. Highly recommended!

This download doesn't seem to run on Windows 7. Are there other versions?
Badfinger 2012-03-05 0 point
Beware this is 16-bit Windows version, where is the actual DOS one?
I know it existed, because I bought it, back then.
Windows 7 64-bit can't run this 16-bit version, the DOS one is my only hope.

PARIS (AP) - France released an intelligence report on Monday alleging chemical weapons use by Syria's regime that dovetailed with similar U.S. claims, as President Bashar Assad warned that any military strike against his country would spark an uncontrollable regional war and spread "chaos and extremism."
The verbal crossfire, including a rejection of the Western allegations by longtime Syrian ally Russia, was part of frenzied efforts on both sides to court international public opinion after President Barack Obama said he would seek authorization from Congress before launching any military action against Assad's regime.
In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Assad was quoted as saying that Syria has challenged the U.S. and France to provide proof to support their allegations, but that their leaders "have been incapable of doing that, including before their own peoples."
"If the Americans, the French or the British had a shred of proof, they would have shown it beginning on the first day," he said, deriding Obama as "weak" and having buckled to U.S. domestic political pressure.
"We believe that a strong man is one who prevents war, not one who inflames it," Assad said.
French President Francois Hollande and Obama have been the two world leaders most vocally calling for action against Assad's regime, accusing it of carrying out a deadly chemical attack against rebel-held suburbs of Damascus on Aug. 21.
The U.S. said it has proof that the Assad regime is behind attacks that Washington claims killed at least 1,429 people, including more than 400 children. Those numbers are significantly higher than the death toll of 355 provided by the aid group Doctors Without Borders.
It has marked an intolerable escalation in a two-year civil war in Syria that has left some 100,000 people dead.
The Syrian government denies the allegations, and blames opposition fighters. In the Figaro interview, Assad questioned whether an attack took place at all and refused to say whether his forces have chemical weapons, as is widely believed.
If the U.S. and France strike, "Everyone will lose control of the situation ... Chaos and extremism will spread. The risk of a regional war exists," he added.
To back up its case, the French government published a nine-page intelligence synopsis Monday that concluded Assad's regime had launched an attack on Aug. 21 involving a "massive use of chemical agents," and could carry out similar strikes in the future.
In all, though, the French report provided little new concrete evidence beyond what U.S. officials provided over the weekend in Washington. Along with it, the French Defense Ministry posted on its Web site six clips of amateur video showing victims, some of which has already been widely available online and in the international media.
In the Figaro interview, Assad said "all the accusations are based on allegations of the terrorists and on arbitrary videos posted on the Internet."
The French report made no specific reference to the agencies involved or how the intelligence was collected about the attack, aside from referring to videos of the injured or killed, doctors' accounts, and "independent evaluations" such as one from Paris-based humanitarian aid group Doctors Without Borders three days after the attack.
A French government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak about the matter because of its sensitivity, said the analysis was written by the spy agency DGSE and the military intelligence unit, DRM, and was based on satellite imagery, video images, and on-the-ground sources - plus samples collected from the alleged chemical attacks in April.
The assessment said it was "very unlikely" that Syria's opposition had falsified images of suffering children that turned up online. It also said intelligence indicated the opposition "does not have the means to conduct such a large attack with chemical agents."
Around the time of the attack, Assad's regime feared a possible opposition strike on Damascus: "Our evaluation is that the regime was looking to loosen the vice and secure the strategic sites for the control of the capital," the report said.
The synopsis also said French intelligence services had collected urine, blood, soil and munitions samples from two attacks in April - in Saraqeb and Jobar - that confirmed the use of sarin gas.
France is "determined to take action against the use of chemical weapons by the regime of Bashar Assad, and to dissuade it from doing so again," Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said after hosting lawmakers to discuss the intelligence on Syria. "This act cannot go without a response."
France won't act alone and Hollande was "continuing his work of persuasion to bring together a coalition," Ayrault said. French parliament will debate the Syria issue Wednesday, but no vote is scheduled. The French constitution doesn't require such a vote for Hollande, though he could decide to call for one.
Russia, which along with Iran has been a staunch supporter of Assad through the conflict, brushed aside Western evidence of an alleged Syrian regime role.
"What our American, British and French partners showed us in the past and have showed just recently is absolutely unconvincing," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday before the French report was released. "And when you ask for more detailed proof they say all of this is classified, so we cannot show this to you."
"There was nothing specific there, no geographic coordinates, no names, no proof that the tests were carried out by the professionals," he said, without identifying which tests.
Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to send a delegation of Russian lawmakers to the U.S. to discuss the situation in Syria with members of Congress. Two top Russian legislators suggested that to Putin, pointing to polls that have shown little support among Americans for armed intervention in Syria.
On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington received new physical evidence in the form of blood and hair samples that show sarin gas was used in the attack. It wasn't immediately clear whether that evidence had been shared with Russia.
U.N. chemical inspectors toured the stricken areas last week, collecting biological and soil samples. A U.N. statement said the team "worked around the clock" to finalize preparations of the samples, which were shipped Monday afternoon from The Hague and would reach their designated laboratories "within hours," the statement said.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon planned to brief the Security Council's 10 non-permanent members on the Syria crisis Tuesday morning. Angela Kane, high representative for disarmament affairs, planned a Tuesday briefing for member states that requested the investigation of alleged chemical weapons use in the Ghouta area outside Damascus on Aug. 21.
The Obama administration has failed to bring together a broad international coalition in support of military action, having so far only secured the support of France.
Britain's Parliament narrowly voted against the country's participation in any military strike last week, despite appeals by Prime Minister David Cameron. The Arab League has stopped short of endorsing a Western strike against Syria.
In an emergency meeting Sunday, the 22-state League urged the United Nations and the international community to take "deterrent" measures under international law to stop the Syrian regime's crimes. Russia or China would likely veto any U.N. Security Council resolution sanctioning a Western strike against Syria.
Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria, Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow, Frances D'Emilio in Rome, Ryan Lucas and Karin Laub in Beirut, and Jamey Keaten and Lori Hinnant in Paris contributed to this report.

The Best Short Haircuts for Men, Celebrity Edition
Whether you've got superhero hair or just need to buzz it all off, even the world's most famous men could use a summer upgrade. Here's what to show and tell your barber, with a little help from one of the world's best plus a few products to make it last. For more on grooming, check out our best tips for mens skincare.
By Nick Burns
Brad Pitt, Pre-Cut
You have: Long, flowing hair that's slicked back and perfect... if you're Leo DiCaprio.
The example: Pitt's romance novel-worthy locks from this year's award circuit didn't quite suit the man who kicked ass in Fight Club and is about to spend a summer dabbling between dinosaurs (The Tree of Life) and cleanup hitters (Moneyball).
What went (sorta) wrong: A little too soft, cuddly, yet somehow uptight at least for the man who tamed Angelina Jolie. And for you bankers out there who could let loose a bit.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
A 17-year-old member of the 41 Delmar Mob gang stopped, spinning and opening fire on the two officers with his 9mm pistol.
Hastings walked to the Fireside Lounge on the corner of Fourth and Lake Streets, dialed up his favorite federal agent on a pay phone, and fessed up to having some 13 stolen antique knives and a stolen Beretta on his person. Oh, and he wanted to turn himself in.
Shaw tried to deflect the gun with the flashlight in his left hand. But hearing the shot, he jumped back, landing on his backside about seven feet away from Burris.
As rounds smacked into the walls and furniture about Garcia and Roell, Garcia fired two quick bursts toward the top of the stairs.
"But you're making it my problem," Hendrix told Ripley. "I can't just let you shoot these people. This is not the way to handle this."
Sgt. Lawler popped up over the hood of the Pontiac just as Thompson's upper torso rose off the pavement, his gun again swinging in Lawler's direction.
The officers didn't know how many people were in the apartment and who else could either be at risk of injury from the knife-wielding Schneider or pose a threat to them.
As rounds flew back and forth before him like some ballistic tennis match, Soden got back to his feet and in the fight. Lining up his sights on the suspect nearest him, he fired.

"The phones are ringing,†said Lonnel Coats, president of Eisai and a plenary speaker here at HBA's Leadership Conference. "There's a lot more opportunity, but also a lot more white noise.â€
Coats is referring to the pressure that cash-strapped biotechs are feeling to sell out and says he gets no less than five calls a day from small companies desperate for suitors. "The VC guys are saying you better get another revenue stream or control the costs, because the money is just not coming in,†he says.
It's an interesting vantage point for Eisai, which unlike some Big Pharma competitors doesn't have to go through the massive reorganization and downsizing.
Part of that has to do with the more careful business planning on behalf of the Japanese companies, according to Elizabeth Evans, a senior specialty sales rep with Eisai. "The culture is different,†she said. "It's the worst thing to fire someone, so they think very much about the long-term before making the hire.â€
Coats notes that 21 percent of the company's revenue now comes from specialty drugs—with more promising therapeutics on the way out of its new MGI Pharma acquisition. But Eisai has just 1,000 specialty reps. "Because we haven't taken on the infrastructure, we don't have to go through the pain that a lot of the other companies have,†he said.
Rather, the pharma company of the future will be built through partnerships instead of a lot of heavy M&A. "M&A and all the work you have to do on integration is a big distraction,†said Coats. "Look at Merck. There was a lot of pressure to do a merger. But they held the line until there were drugs coming out of the pipeline.â€
Coats also notes that Jeff Kindler has made some right moves in this direction for Pfizer; he's willing to take the hit now by holding out on a lot of the M&A that will just build up infrastructure and make the patent cliff steeper for as long as possible. Instead, the company is seeding projects throughout the rest of the industry that will bring it revenue streams in the future.

Bavarian Bike and Brews
June 7, 2014
Gibbs Organic Farm
Leavenworth, WA
Presented by
The one and only Bavarian Bike and Brew Festival is Round 4 of the Fat Tire Revolution! Yeah, we're pretty excited too.
UPDATE: This year as many of you know Freund Canyon is being logged. Because of this we will be running the course backwards. "Dnuerf" (Fruend backwards) if you will. The course is the same 8.6 mile loop and 1700 vertical gain but unfortunately the first half will be riding up a dirt road due to the logging. The views are still spectacular, even more so now that it is so open. Then riders will come down singletrack (what was previously the uphill singletrack) Cat 3 will do one lap, Cat 2 two laps, and Cat 1 / pro three laps. The finish line will be the same. Check in /registration will be by the finish line, same as it was last year. You must check in at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your race. We are doing packet pick up the night before at Uncle Uli's. This year every registered rider will have a choice of event T-shirt or event Nalgene style water bottle. This will be on a first-come first-served basis. We appreciate everyone sticking with us through this time that they are logging. We hope to have the trail back to you next year even better than ever! Please do not pre-ride the course midweek as this is when they are logging. Weekends are fine and Friday June 6th it is ok to pre-ride the course. Thank you.
On site camping is $5.00/ head out at Gibbs Organic Farm. Please leash pets and respect farm animals.
And did we mention the brew part?? Camping on site?? Music?? Sunshine??
Please Note: Bike & Brews is PRE-REGISTRATION only and limited to 450! This event fills up, so don't delay!
Start Times
9:00 am Cat 3 – 1 lap
10:30 am Cat 2 – 2 laps
12:30 pm Cat 1/Pro – 3 laps
There will inevitably be some cancelations and no-shows by Friday or Saturday morning. Bribery, beers, massages, and generally being ridiculously kind to the volunteers and race officials could get you into the race if you failed to find the internet in the months prior. Lay it on thick and come bearing gifts.
Directions to race
Freund Canyon -From Highway 2 turn onto Chumstick highway (this is a left turn if you are coming from Stevens Pass, right if you are coming from Blewitt Pass). Turn left onto Freund Canyon road (about 1-1.5 miles out Chumstick highway, if you go under the railroad track you have gone too far). Parking is on the right hand side of the road. On foot, by bike, or free shuttle provided, go to where the pavement ends and take a left. You will see the packet pick up table, beer garden etc.
Race packets will be available Friday night from 7-8:30 at Uncle Uli's Pub in Leavenworth.

Oloron-Sainte-Marie is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France. The town of Oloron-Sante-Marie is positioned at the junction of two rivers and has a population of approximately 12,000. While not spectacular, it is a pleasant looking town, with an ancient quarter, Sainte Croix, containing the oldest Romanesque church in the Bearn region. This church, the Eglise Sainte Croix, has recently[when?] been fully restored, at considerable expense, and is worth a detour for those interested in such things, as is the tenth century cathedral in the centre of the town, with its carved stone entrance which is of such quality that it has been declared a world heritage site. Economically, Oloron is sustained by a mixture of agriculture, light industry and tourism. It contains one of the largest chocolate factories in Europe, and on warm summer evenings the town is often suffused with the smell of warm chocolate. The town stands on one of the ancient routes of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage, so it is a well-known stopping place for walkers and modern-day pilgrims alike. As it stands on the edge of the Pyrenees, Oloron is also a centre and portal for many activities associated with the mountains: skiing, cycling, white water rafting, canyoning and rambling. The parents of American fitness guru Jack LaLanne emigrated from the town.
- Capital of the "Haut Béarn".
- Speciality: "le russe" (a flat cake).
- Flag: two red cows on a yellow background.
It was known as Illoronensium in Roman times.[1]
The Gave d'Oloron is named after the town.
Neighboring communes: Esquiule, Moumour, Ledeuix, Estos, Cardesse, Monein, Goès, Précilhon, Escout, Herrère, Ogeu-les-Bains, Buziet, Arudy, Escot, Asasp-Arros, Lurbe-Saint-Christau, Eysus, Gurmençon, Bidos, Agnos, Ance and Féas.
The Oloron economy is dominated by two well known manufacturing businesses:
- * Lindt & Sprüngli have a chocolate factory in Oloron.
- * Messier-Bugatti-Dowty have a plant in the adjacent commune of Bidos which manufactures landing gear for aircraft.
Oloron is also famous, among hat enthusiasts, as the capital of the basque beret, although the beret business has fallen victim to the widespread collapse of the European textile business as well as changing fashions. Today only one beret business survives in Oloron. This is the Béatex company which employs appropximately 80 people.
The area also benefits from an active agriculture sector, involving animal rearing and general agriculture as well as maize production. It is also part of the AOC defined districts entitled to produce the ewes' cheese, Ossau-Iraty.
Notable people[edit]
Oloron-Sainte-Marie was the birthplace of:
- Louis Barthou (1862–1934), politician of the Third Republic
- Cataline (1830-1922), explorer

Version 0.9.5 – The lost upgrade
Posted by ofer in General Messages on February 11, 2014
Version 0.9.5 was released not too long ago, and the full version 0.9.5.1 was released as well. You may ask yourself, I am looking for updates in my wordpress dashboard and I don't see anything, how comes?
This is the exact reason 0.9.5 came to life, there was a critical bug related to a change made in the upgrade api by wordpress 3.8 which made transposh block all updates (including its own) from the dashboard.
So, what to do?
In order to upgrade to the latest full version, there are a few options:
- disable the current Transposh plugin, check for updates, update to version 0.9.5 from wordpress.org, activate the plugin, mark "allow update to the full version" and update again
- delete your current version of the plugin and install the version from wordpress.org and follow the update procedure
- manually download the latest version and just replace the files on your server.
We are truly sorry about this inconvenience
What else is new?
More languages were added to the Google engine, changing the total number to 82 supported languages!
What about 0.9.4?
It was a lovely version, fixed issues with the Google proxy support, we should have written a full post about it too, so 0.9.4, please accept our apology
Enjoy the new version, and don't hesitate to inform us about any issues
Version 0.9.3 – Where did my flags go?
Posted by ofer in General Messages on May 10, 2013
They didn't go very far, please watch this video or read the instructions below.
What should you do to get them back?
Just upgrade to the full version using the following instructions:
- Upgrade to the latest version from wordpress.org (which will be the last, there)
- Check "allow upgrade to full version" in the settings
- Check for upgrades and perform the upgrade, that's all!
What's new in version 0.9.3:
- Update will work from our site
- Some bug fixes
- Ability to remove the rel=alternate which was not always useful
- (0.9.3.1) We have released a sub version to incorporate the new languages supported by Google, making our total count – 73! (If anyone here speaks Hmong, please contact us)
We hope you'll enjoy this version.
Goodbye wordpress.org
Posted by ofer in General Messages on May 1, 2013
Four years after going to the wordpress repository, and 189,795 downloads later, Transposh will be leaving the wordpress.org repository.
Apparently, all this time our widget had a link to our site, and although it was possible to remove it, this was against the wordpress.org guidelines.
This is a guideline that we can not accept, we believe that we deserve credit for our work. Not less than twitter, facebook, or any other well known company providing third party widgets out there.
We also can not accept the fact that our plugin will be removed without notice, and without any time to make changes, right out of the blue.
We can not accept that messages that we post on the plugin forum will be removed just because the moderators don't like them, or decide that they are against rules that they have created themselves. Rules they don't want to reconsider.
They are free to make any decision they like, after all, its their hosting and their rules. Can't ignore that, luckily enough we don't have to accept them.
If you want to complain, don't complain here, try and complain on the forums, but my guess is that you will be moderated, wordpress.org is not a democracy, nor is it a GPL compliant site, everything there must be free, in cost, and in speech, that is the reason you got tons of crippled plugins that only serve as promotion to a pro version. This is also what they suggested that we do with Transposh. And we don't like it, not one bit.
If a next version will ever be uploaded to that site, it will be a crippled version, (without any links here, for sure) and not the most usable version. The latest version (non crippled) will be served right here on the download page. To which we will now have to add an update mechanism.
Feel free to discuss this in the comments here.
So long wordpress.org, and thanks for all the fish.
Version 0.9.2 – 4 years and we don't break
Posted by ofer in General Messages, Release announcements, Software Updates on March 11, 2013
Yes, it was over four years since the first version of Transposh for wordpress was released. And indeed, we have come a very long way.
Transposh is being used by thousands of sites all over the web, and we have many happy users (and a few less happy ones ).
This version, 0.9.2, is not really what we expected to have by now, after four years we would have expected that a version one (maybe even two) will already have been released. But apparently, life does rarely proceed as you plan it to.
The title of this posts actually refers to a new behaviour of our parser, when we used to encounter an (which should be a non-breaking space) we actually broke the phrase into two, which is rather the exact opposite of what things should have been. So hopefully this is now fixed, and we'll no longer break!
Other changes include:
- Basic support for Woocommerce integration
- Override the case when other plugins or themes cause the process_page to be called prematurely
- Fix a nasty bug when the same translation appeared in a paragraph more than once
- Bing have added two languages
- Fix the bug reported by dserber disallowing language selection on post where translate_on_publish was disabled
- Update for .po files, Turkish Translation by Ömer Faruk Karabulut
You will enjoy this version! This is an order!
Version 0.9.1 – Improving constantly
Posted by ofer in General Messages on January 23, 2013
Should have posted earlier about 0.9.1 which is a rather nice version with some nice improvements. But we have waited for this extremely nice animation, made on Fiverr by an amazing animator, that happens to be related by blood to the team here
We have also created a nice Widget Gallery page, just go and see!
Other changes include:
- Added some help inside the Admin interface for very common questions (keys – no, you don't need keys by default)
- Allow jQueryUI version to be overriden, resolving many conflicts (old themes, all sort of components with unsorted versions of jQuery and jQueryUI)
- A fix when some bad plugins insert .css in an inappropriate way (this disabled the ability to see which languages were selecred)
- Added the transposh_echo function – see our development site for documentation and usage
- Fixes for widgets, easier inclusion with shortcodes, old dropbox fixes, ids removed
- Adding touch punch to admin, allowing language selection on touch devices
- Fixes for minor issues discovered since 0.9.0
What are you waiting for? Download the latest version now!
Version 0.8.5 – We support Lao too
Posted by ofer in General Messages, Release announcements on September 17, 2012
Well, Google just announced on their translate blog that they will support Lao, the official language of Laos, so we have added the code required and did a quick release with support to this language, which is also supported by One Hour Translation.
The version is already out for a few days but the real problem with getting this post live was finding a picture. We are not quite sure it is the most appropriate picture, but at least it rhymes.
Enjoy this new version.
Version 0.8.4 – Professional human translation is here
Posted by ofer in General Messages on September 7, 2012
We are very proud to present this release of our plugin.
This version, in addition to normal enhancements and bug fixes, finally integrates professional human translation with a basic integration with OneHourTranslation.com professional translation service.
The way this works is the following:
- Go to OneHourTranslaion.com and create an account
- Use the account details generated and insert them to Transposh's settings page
- When using the translation interface, an admin (and only an admin) will see a "One Hour Translation queue" button
- Pressing this button will add the phrase to a queue, another click will dequeue the item
- 10 minutes after the last phrase was added a translation project will be generated on one hour translation
- Give it an hour (or less from our experience) and the translations will appear on your site
- Everybody is happy and you actually support the Transposh project (Yay!)
This is rather new, so if Murphy strikes, just contact us and we'll do whatever we can to make things work.
Now, for the rest of this release:
- Fixed flag of Swahili to Tanzania as noted by Ed Jordan
- Lots of fixes to backup service
- Fix for a parser bug when having translate in default language following a select element
- Fixed XSS reported by Infern0_ (big thanks!)
- For programmers: Added a global function to return the current language "
- Seems like Lybia has a new flag too
- Fixed widget IDs containing a backslash so that we'll pass w3c validation
- Updated jQueryUI to 1.8.23 to avoid conflict with jQuery 1.8 used by some themes
- Portuguese (Brazil) translation by Amilton Junior
Our operators are waiting for your feedback, if you get a busy signal, try contacting us again!
P.S. This is the very first version to have passed 1,000 daily downloads, we are humbled.
Version 0.8.2 – 3 years, 66 languages, 1 wordpress
Posted by ofer in General Messages, Release announcements, Software Updates on March 6, 2012
It has been three years (and three days, and thirty three hours) since the first version of Transposh plugin has been aired on the wordpress.org plugin repository.
Time surely flies.
This has been the first leap year (29th February) and a real leap year for Transposh. The plugin has been downloaded from the repository over 50,000 times this year and has made a steady growth of features and total number of languages supported. And today with the addition of Hmong Daw we are the first plugin to support a total number of 66 languages.
This was a really interesting (as in, have an interesting life) year for the automatic translation industry and plugins, where Google has nearly dropped their API support (only to switch to a pay model) while Bing imposed new limits. Transposh has successfully overcame those changes, while other plugins did not survive.
What does the future holds for Transposh? We are slowly boiling some new stuff, working on our vision to improve website translation, when things will be ready – they will be out. Meanwhile, your continued support is important to us, sometimes a simple email with "your plugin is great" drives us to continue. So if you believe we are doing well, drop us a line, if you think we should improve things, drop us a note, and if you think that we suck, we fail to understand why you have read this message up to this point
Wishing ourselves a great 4th year, maybe it will end with a bigger cake
Version 0.7.4 – The springy version
Posted by ofer in General Messages on June 4, 2011
This release comes in a bit late on our schedule. But it already broke our single day download record by crossing the 500 mark.
This release although small in nature does have some nice additions.
First, the default language set in Transposh now overrides the one that is set in the WP_LANG constant, this allows a WordPress MU installation in which every site can be managed in a different language on the backend. A feature which I enjoyed by finally allowing my kid to have his own personal blog in a language he can manage.
We have added a tp shortcode that enables to output the current transposh language, although it might not sound like much, this small additions allows displaying different images for different languages, you can read about it here.
An addition of a few constants in our parser code, now allow coders (not users) to change our parser behavior to break phrases on larger chunks, see the top of our parser.php for documentation.
More changes and bug crashing include:
- Iframes included inside pages will now attempt to include proper language
- Fixed bug with using the only="y" parameter of the tp shortcode which made incorrect detections of source language further in parsing
- Added German translation by Jenny Beelens from professionaltranslation.com
Enjoy this version, tell your friends about it, don't tell your enemies anything, consult with your lawyers if you really want to and don't forget the importance of your family.
PS: We know about the scheduled Google Translate API deprecation and the plugin will still work, details will be uncovered in future versions.
Version 0.7.3 – Shortcodes support
Posted by ofer in General Messages on March 25, 2011
Today we have released version 0.7.3 which adds support for shortcodes inside wordpress posts, this can be used to do some neat stuff and for which we have created the video above, so if you have five minutes free and nothing better to do, just watch the video. Otherwise we would recommand reading the documentation at http://trac.transposh.org/wiki/ShortCodes.
Some more bug fixes were added to this release, mainly reducing the load (and duplications) that bots might create on edit pages, and eliminate unneeded session files for bots.
Enjoy this version!

Hi Randy,
it seems I didnt advise u wrongly ??
Have a good time
Nuwara Eliya 1
Loading Map
I woke up early and went for a walk towards Adam's Peak in time to see pilgrims returning from their climb last night. I ran into the young English couple that I met last night - and the girl (Sarah) said that the climb hadn't been worth it to her. They said that it was cold, windy, crowded and dirty at the top. And I thought it was supposed to be lonely up there!
Although we had planned to depart for Nuwara Eliya (henceforth NE) at 10:30, we didn't get away until just after noon due to Joanne and Marlon's late return from scaling Adam's Peak.
The drive was very scenic and on the way we stopped for lunch in a beautiful castle
When the menu came, I hurriedly looked at the prices, and to my delight, the place was hardly more expensive than what we were used to paying at the cheap guesthouses at which we were staying - confirming my suspicion that the guesthouses are way overcharging for what they are providing. (As mentioned before, they often cater to captive audiences - and they make us pay for that.)
The meal was fantastic and because I was so pleased with the way everything was going, I paid for lunch for all of us
We arrived to NE at 16:00 and I was dropped off at a hotel that had been recommended to me by that English couple in Negombo. (They had told me that the rack rate for the hotel was expensive but that it was possible to negotiate a 50% discount.) They must have been there during the low season because I was unable to get much of a discount. So I loaded up my gear and proceeded to hike around the neighborhood looking for the right combination of price and quality accommodation. Luckily the weather was spectacular (sunny and somewhat cool - or at least not hot). I must have looked at a dozen places before stumbling (not literally) upon a place that didn't even look like a hotel. It was a big, colonial-looking building that looked like a manor house. The sign out front said Ceybank Rest - which didn't exactly make it appear to be a hotel - and then not one open to the public in any case. By then it was 17:00 and I was getting tired (not having had my nap today), so I gave it a try. Well, it was worth the search because the place is just lovely. It is a very charming place with nice, big, old-European style rooms - all for 2,000 rupees - or about 18 dollars a night. (By comparison, the more well known colonial hotels around town are in the US$100 a night range - five times the price for only marginally nicer rooms.) The only problem was that they didn't have a room that would be available for the duration of my desired stay, so I would have to change rooms every few days
After securing a place to stay, I took a walk around town and was pleased to find that although the town itself isn't beautiful (in fact, it's pretty much the same ugly dump that most third world towns are), it has a bit of size, which enables it to support two supermarkets and a few restaurants and other such amenities. Just what I'm looking for - and a real treat after that little village Dalhousie that consisted mainly of a few guesthouses and trinket shops to sell useless crap to pilgrims. (Well, useless to me anyway. Evidently somebody must be buying the stuff.)
By then I was feeling utterly exhausted - even too tired to eat dinner, if you can imagine! - so I went to bed at about 19:30, pleased with where I am and expecting that this is a place where I could spend a bit of time.
17 March
Woke up early after a nearly 12-hour sleep and immediately proceeded to walk around town looking to see if I could find another place to stay where I wouldn't be forced to change rooms every day or two. A two-hour search, during which time I think I looked at every single guesthouse and hotel in town, led me to the conclusion that I am better off staying where I am.
When I got back to my hotel from my walk, I had to switch rooms to one a bit less nice than the one I had last night
Feeling quite happy and settled, I did a bit more exploring in the bright but cool sunshine. The (natural) surroundings of the town are beautiful even if the town itself is a bit of a dump. I also did a fairly massive amount of reading, finishing my first book of the trip. The reading had been slow going up until now as I had been unsettled previously, changing venues every day or two. Now that I've found a place that I like, I'm hoping to settle into a nice little routine.
Later that day, in the hotel TV room, I got into a conversation with an older (perhaps in her 60s) Sri Lankan woman. She had lived in the UK, raised two apparently very successful children there, then eleven years ago her husband dropped dead from a stroke. Since then she's been spending half of each year in the UK and half in Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo. The conversation was going very pleasantly until she asked me if I am married
On a more pleasant note: I finally got my laundry done. The hotel here seemed not at all surprised at my request, and now I'm back to clean underwear, rightside out, front forward. They did a good job on the laundry, but their arithmetic skills are lacking as they miscalculated the bill - in their favor, as luck would have it. They counted my shirts as jeans. An easy mistake to make, I suppose.
18 March - Mum's birthday (Happy Birthday!)
The weather has changed. The sunshine has been replaced by clouds and cooler temperatures. Actually before coming to NE my research had almost made me decide not to come here because many people said that the place is cold and windy most of the time
Luckily for me, though, today was blog day, so I spent the overcast morning in an internet cafe bringing my blog up to date. (I'm sure you appreciate the effort!)
After I finished my 2+ hour internet session, I walked over to my favorite new restaurant in town, the Indian Grand - an Indian restaurant (obviously) that is attached to (but physically separate from) the Grand Hotel, NE's fanciest hotel. The place is nice and clean and the food is satisfying - especially when you are starving.
As I was doing a bit of shopping in the afternoon, the rain really started coming down, so I pulled out my hooded rain jacket that I had bought in Taiwan a few years back but never really had a chance to try because when it rains in Thailand, it's always too hot to wear any kind of jacket. (In Thailand we have a rainy season - and, theoretically, a cool season - but never do we have cool and rain at the same time). The rain jacket worked well as the parts of me that it covered allowed me to stay completely dry without the aid of an umbrella
I made it back to my hotel drenched, took off my wet clothes, put on some dry things, hopped in the bed and read for awhile before taking a nap. I then went out to buy some fruit before dinner. On my way to the fruit market, I had to pass a dark corner that was occupied by a lone man. I sensed that he was waiting for me and when I got to where he was, he started walking with me. At first I thought he might intend to try to sell me some drugs - or arrange a prostitute for me (well, one can hope), but no, he wanted money. "Fifty rupees", he said. I said, "Speak up. I can't understand you." "Fifty rupees - you give me!" "Why?", I asked. "For the bus. I mean for a taxi." I just laughed and kept walking, albeit at a brisker pace. Does it make sense for me to pay for somebody else to ride when I'm walking? I don't think so.
This reminds me of another "scary" incident I experienced yesterday: As I was leaving the supermarket, I was set upon by a group of five young men holding a deck of cards
Conclusion: Compared to most places I've been, Sri Lanka seems to be pretty tame as regards crime and scams. Speaking of scams, there was one that was tried on me back at Adam's Peak that I forgot to mention: A man called me into his shop and insisted that I have a look at his collection of foreign coins. He then asked me if I have any foreign coins that I could give him. The fact that he has a box full of these coins induces people to think that he is sincere about being a coin collector, so they apparently give him coins from their own country. What he does then is whenever a foreigner is passing by, he asks them where they're from and if he already has coins from their country, he will ask them to give him Sri Lankan money in exchange for the coins from their own country, which they'll of course be able to use back home - or give back to him for his collection. Ha. It's not a very lucrative scam, but on the other hand he gets his inventory for free
Anyway, back to the plot: I had dinner at the Grand Hotel Coffee Shop. On paper - that is, on the menu, the hamburger looked so tasty. So I thought I'd give it a try. It was awful. It was a burger made by someone who had never actually eaten a burger in his life. But, well, sometimes you have to take risks in life. I then came back to my room and read and drank a beer that I had bought earlier at the supermarket. And this proved to be a winner. Sri Lanka's "Lion" beer turned out to be the absolute best Asian beer I've ever had. It was a beautiful, delicious beer. I wonder why we can't have beer like that in Thailand? It's not quite up to German standards, but for the price (just over a dollar for a very big bottle), it gets my vote.
So with my beer in one hand and my book in the other (except for when I put the beer down to turn the pages), I managed to finish reading my second book of the trip - this last one, Somerset Maugham's "Far Eastern Tales", taking just over 24 hours to complete. I've now started "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell. (Actually this book was not in my original pile for the trip
With this I drifted off to a peaceful, happy - and cool sleep.
19 March
Settling in to NE by now, I'm trying to do things to gradually, incrementally improve my quality of life.
My first stop was the local library. Believe it or not, this little town has a very nice little library - that even manages to have lots of books that I would be interested in reading. So if I do decide to come back to Sri Lanka in future years to again escape the Thai summer heat, I think I'll come with fewer books of my own and just borrow my reading material from the library.
I also went to the tourist information office to ask about a gym. I already checked out the gym at the Grand Hotel, but it is open only to guests - and it's not worth it for me to pay a hundred bucks a night for a hotel just to use their gym. The tourist information officer told me that there is a free gym up the road at the town stadium.
So I marched up the road to check out that gym. I encountered a massive police presence and when I asked what was up, I was told that the president of Sri Lanka will be swinging by tomorrow as part of his reelection campaign, giving a speech in the stadium
I won't say much about this presidential visit except that it just reminds me of the scam that politics is. A few people in every country realize that by controlling the organs of a government, they can legally steal more than they could have ever done as the ordinary criminals that they are. Who me - cynical?
I'd like to comment on the shade of the people's skin here: It ranges from brown to very very very dark brown. In spite of the cool weather up here in the hills, the sun is still very strong. In fact, I've even gone a few shades darker myself. But that isn't hard to do. In Bangkok, due to the heat, I rarely see the light of day. The result: Milky white skin. Okay, with lots of freckles and other blemishes. But otherwise the envy of the locals.
But back to the people here: Some of them really have the darkest skin of any non-negroes that I've ever seen. It surprises me sometimes to see people with faces that look the same as some (white) people I know back home, but their faces are shiny black. And between you and me (and whoever else reads this), there is no more attractive skin than that of some of the shiny brown gals that I've seen here. I sure wouldn't mind seeing one naked - just to get the complete picture, you know.
I wonder - and will investigate - whether skin color determines social rank in Sri Lanka, as seems to be the case in many countries, including my homeland, where a real black would be unlikely to become president, but a lighter-skinned, half black just might. I'll admit that I haven't been back in a long time, so things might have changed since my days as a southern plantation owner.
Now a little observation about the local use of the English language: The people here, when they see a foreigner, invariably ask them where they are from. But they don't ask in the way you and I would expect. Rather, they say, "You are from . . . sir?" They make a statement and end it with a rising pitch of their voice, thereby making a question out of it. Today one man "asked" me: "You are going?", which I by now have realized means "Where are you going?" However the question is asked, though, I don't see that it was any business of his where I was going. So I just answered, "This way." - which seemed to have satisfied his curiosity.
Having eaten lunch at the same Indian restaurant for the past few days, I was in the mood to try something different. So just after noon, I headed over to the most highly recommended restaurant in the guidebook, the one with the Italian name of "Milano's" - serving up Chinese and Sri Lankan favorites, of course. To my surprise and disappointment, the restaurant was completely shut down, locked up, devoid of any signs of life. So I had to have my lunch elsewhere - somewhere rather less nice (if that were possible). After I finished eating, I passed back by Milano's - to find it open! WTF? A restaurant that closes for lunch? As it turns out, it is a Muslim-owned restaurant, and this being Friday, they closed for an hour to go to the mosque. I'm not even going to bother suggesting a different way of managing their Friday opening times . . . Okay, I will. I can't help it: How about praying before or after lunch? Just a thought.
The afternoon I spent doing my usual: Walking, reading, nap, trip to the market to buy some fruit (from Mohammed the Muslim fruit vendor). As a regular customer of his, he goes out of his way to give me good fruit. Today I bought four bananas and two avocadoes - for 45 cents US - total! Can you believe - avocados for less than ten cents a piece? We pay 25 times that price for them in Bangkok! I have two of them - along with the four bananas - and my brought-from-home German bread and locally bought Austrian cheese for breakfast every morning. It's the culinary highlight of my day.
After my fruit buying, I headed off to the Indian restaurant for dinner. At the restaurant, I spoke with a French couple whom I had seen earlier in the day. Foreign tourists here are so rare and stay for such a short time that I know when there's somebody new in town. These Frenchies, for example, are staying in NE for only one night. I'm already the top dog long-staying foreign tourist in town. (There are a few living here, one of whom I met yesterday - a young Canadian named Larry who is teaching at a local school.) I saw him from across the street and I could tell by the way he was dressed that he was not a tourist, so I collared him and asked him for advice about finding a gym and an internet caf�. I ran into him again later and he invited me to a Saturday afternoon lunch with all the other foreigners in town. I'll have to check my schedule to see if I'm available. Oh, I do have an opening - in my stomach. Ha.
20 March
At 10:30 I met Larry the Canadian school teacher, along with Jim, an English co-teacher of his, at the bridge behind the bus station. We walked together to their school, from which we caught a bus to the home of a Kentuckian co-teacher of theirs for a Saturday afternoon barbecue.
We adult menfolk, along with everybody else's wives and children, spent the afternoon eating, talking, laughing and generally having a great time. I learned a lot about Sri Lanka and NE from these very nice people. For example, it seems that for most of the year NE IS cold and rainy. This happens to be pretty much the only time of the year that there is sunshine. Since this is exactly the time of the year that I am interested in leaving Thailand, it makes it the perfect place for me to spend the Thai summer. What happens for the rest of the year when I'm not here is no concern of mine.
I also learned that the Sri Lankan government doesn't appreciate foreigners coming over and educating the locals. An educated populace is difficult to manipulate, and educated people tend not to vote for crooks - which is not good for the crooks who are and want to remain in power. I heard, for example, from several people that 120 members of the current president's extended family are working in government jobs. Ah - probably just coincidence.
Also, apparently, Sri Lanka has enlisted China to teach it how to censor its internet. Allegedly, China was the only country that didn't have a problem with Sri Lanka killing a lot of its own civilians during its recently ended civil war, so China was the only country to give Sri Lanka financial support. As a result, China now has a toehold in the country and preferential access to business opportunities.
Today happened to be the day that the president came to town for his election speech. As I mentioned, the streets are full of policemen and soldiers. On the one hand, they are there to protect the president. On the other hand, I wonder if they are not perhaps there as a subtle threat to the populace, as in "Look how many armed guys I have on my side. So if you were thinking about voting for the other side, you just might want to think again."
I also noticed that the town was undergoing a major clean-up leading up to the president's visit. I wonder if the president arranged this clean-up to impress the people, or if the town arranged the clean-up to impress the president. Either way, what is the point of cleaning up a place only during election campaigns?
So, after a very nice lunch with a lot of nice people, I was dropped off back at my hotel, where I promptly set myself to finishing my third book of the trip before having a rest.
The remainder of the evening was spent doing my usual fruit market, dinner routine. But this time at dinner I met a very nice couple from Prague, and we sat together talking - with me reminiscing about the times I spent there some half of my life ago. We even managed to resurrect my five words of Czech that I had buried deep in my memory. I gave them the phone number of my ex-girlfriend there and asked them to call her when they get home and tell her that we met here in NE, Sri Lanka. Ah, the memories from my youth. The wonderful memories of Prague.
Hey Randy,
Well if you do get to see one naked, its reassuring to know you will be wearing clean underwear front forward.
Um...I thought that 60yrs old lady washed your clothes for you after... Maybe you should have taken her offer, and you would have got a win-win situation of seeing naked lady there and satisfying her ... :)
Now why didn't I think of that? I guess I'll never be the lady's man that you are!
Thanks for the idea, though.
First of all thanks for visiting my country, But I feel that you have understood about the war had in our country over a 30 years in wrong way. As a Sri Lankan who faced that war, I can say it was not a civil war rather it was a terrorism created by a terrorist group. I accept that this terrorist group born due to stupid decisions taken by our Sinhalese politicians. Although the European media and terrorists called them as liberators, they did every brutal activity that they could do. They killed innocent civilians continuously without any reason. There were pregnant mothers, small babies, kids, monks and other civilians and even the Tamil people among the victims without any reason. There was a time all Sri Lankans were afraid to travel by public transportation services because this terrorist group blasted bombs in public transportation services.I don't know why the so called European media did not see these things.
This terrorist group told that they were liberators of the Tamil people. But we clearly saw how those people were treated to their Tamil people at the ending of this war. At least they haven't given the medicine, food which was supplied by the Sri Lankan government . And at the last stage of the war we saw, this terrorist group kept the innocent Tamil people ( about 200,000 ) as a human shield in the battle field. They shoot to the people who comes from their side to SL army forces for save their lives. Because terrorists knew that they could not survive without these people. But please think wisely why did they were so eager to come SL armed forces side even under an attack from terrorist. I want to say that our armed forces were did their best to treat these people as much as they can. sometimes they were giving their lunch packet to them and they fight with terrorist. This much of kindness, discipline we couldn't see in Iraq, Afganistan wars.
And one more thing, now the Tamil diaspora in UK, Canada, USA are trying to make false statements about our country. As far as I know that is because, now they can't live in these countries as refugees. Then they will loose their luxurious life in these countries. But once you come to visit our country again you can see how all the Sri Lankan people live in peace without any conflicts now.

If you're used to telling your bartender "I'll have a 312, please," you'll have to be more specific. Beginning March 12, Goose Island Beer Co. will debut a second beer in its 312 line—312 Urban Pale Ale.
Goose Island's current pale ale, Green Line Pale Ale, is a draft-only beer available exclusively in Chicago. With the debut of 312 Urban Pale Ale, the brewery will offer a pale ale nationwide. The beer will join 312 Urban Wheat Ale, the classic yellow bottle--and as of 2012, can--that has become an accessible, lightly hopped Chicago staple. Brewed with three types of hops and a caramel malt, the pale ale comes in at 5.4 percent alcohol by volume.
Have questions about the new brew? Goose Island's head brewer, Brett Porter, will conduct a Reddit Ask Me Anything on March 12 at 3:12 p.m. CST. Are those enough 312 references for you?
