Our OMRI Listed and CDFA OIM approved Soluble Fulvic Acid (aka Ferti-Humate as approved by CDFA) is derived from plants with a 69% (min.) content of organic fulvic acid. Its chelating effect, physiological and biological activity gives the plant much needed stimulation especially through the roots. While the calcium precipitates in the presence of humic acids, it remains in the solution when Fulvic Acids are present, therefore it is highly recommended for fertigation in the presence of hard waters.
Benefits Include:
- Accelerates the production of nucleic acids
- Enhances photosynthesis and respiration
- Increases cationic exchange
Packaging: 50 lbs. bags/boxes or 1,400 lbs. super sacks
Custom packaging for Soluble Fulvic Acid is available based on volume

Plagiarism: Turnitin plagiarism plugin
Maintained by John McGettrick, Dan Marsden, Paul Dawson, Alex McLarty, David Winn, Caroline Westgarth, David Hatton
Turnitin is a commercial plagiarism detection system which requires a paid subscription to use - This Plugin integrates with the existing Moodle Assignment module.
Moodle 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1
WARNING: This plugin replaces Dan Marsden's plugin with a new version developed by Turnitin
The plugin developed by Dan Marsden has been deprecated for the version now available here.
This plugin shares code with the new mod_turnitintool2 plugin which must be installed at the same time.
The new version has a number of major benefits compared with Dan's including:
- Fully supported by Turnitin for all issues that occur.
- Uses a new improved API to connect to Turnitin.
- Better support for the rest of Turnitin's product range (Grademark, Writecycle etc)
- Works with the new Moodle block developed by Turnitin
Dan Marsden's original plugin
Dan Marsden's plugin is supported for all versions up to Moodle 2.7 to allow people time to migrate to the new version but will not be supported past Moodle 2.7 - Dan's plugin is still available from his github account here: https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-plagiarism_turnitin along with documentation here: http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Plagiarism_Prevention_Turnitin_Settings

- Wed, Oct 14, 2015, 3:29 AMCan I please check if there are there any support materials for instructors using the Moodle Assignment Turnitin plagiarism plugin settings? I can see the Turnitin Direct V2 resources but couldn't see any instructions related specifically to the Moodle Assignment integration settings.
- Fri, Nov 6, 2015, 11:59 PMHi Jim,
Apologies for not getting back to you. This documentation is currently being improved but there are some details here: http://guides.turnitin.com/03_Integrations/Moodle/Moodle_Direct_V2/Direct_V2_Integration_Instructor_User_Manual/35_Enabling_Turnitin_plagiarism_activity_settings
- Mon, Nov 30, 2015, 5:54 PMHi,
I think I have found a mistake on version 2.8, components "turnintintool" and "turnitintooltwo", string "psuedolastnamegen_desc". Maybe instead of "psuedo" it must be "pseudo".
Thank you,
- Mon, Nov 30, 2015, 7:58 PMHi Maria,
Thanks for pointing this out. It seems we made a typing error when creating these strings. I've made a note of it so we can get them changed.
- Sat, Dec 5, 2015, 12:01 AMHi,
My university has been using the 2.8 version of the plugin and found out recently that the latest version we upgraded to (2015040111) broke the submit functionality. We found that it had to do with the use of the mime_content_type() function on line 540 of sdk/lti.class.php. Our solution was to activate a PHP extension called php_fileinfo.dll (one not required by Moodle). After that it seemed to work just fine!
Just thought I would pass this along.
- Mon, Dec 7, 2015, 4:44 PMHi Scott, thanks for pointing this out. We'll get this fixed for the next release.
- Tue, Feb 23, 2016, 3:02 PMIs anyone else getting errors with the latest version 201611103? I am seeing this in php_errors.log:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /storage/www/moodle/plagiarism/turnitin/lib.php on line 2387
I had to disable the conditional checking for the empty value and revert to the method used in 201611102. Am I missing something in my configuration perhaps?
- Tue, Feb 23, 2016, 5:16 PMHi @mkpelletier, as per our conversation on github that seems to only occur with PHP versions < 5.5.
We'll replace the offending line with:
$textcontent = $file->get_content();
if (empty($textcontent)) {
And release a patch for that today.
- Wed, Mar 9, 2016, 7:38 PMHi,
Maybe I have found a mistake on version 3.0, component "plagiarism_turnitin", string "pp_digital_receipt_message". There you can read "from from", twice. Is that correct?
Thank you,
- Wed, Mar 9, 2016, 7:46 PMHi Maria,
You are correct, thanks for pointing it out. Small typing error on our part. we'll get it changed.
- Thu, Mar 10, 2016, 1:59 PMHi,
I am installing the plagiarism_turnitin on 2.6+ moodle, it gives an error the following error. Please help
"Oops! It did it again
Moodle deployment utility had a trouble with your request. See the docs page and the debugging information for more details.
exception 'checksum_exception' with message 'MD5 checksum failed' in E:\wamp\www\mdeploy.php:770
Stack trace:
#0 E:\wamp\www\mdeploy.php(1535): worker->execute()
#1 {main}"
- Fri, Mar 11, 2016, 8:27 PMHi RabNawaz, I've just tried this out on a local install and it worked fine. Is there more information in your server logs or just the checksum exception?
- Fri, Mar 18, 2016, 11:57 PMHi John.. I already installed turnitin and mod plugin on my moodle, but i've got problems when i try to enter the password on turnitin shared key. I already put the right password that the administrator gave. Could you please help me?
- Fri, May 20, 2016, 8:37 PMA suggestion for future development is "smart filtering".
Is it possible that the Turnitin options are only available if appropriate submission types are used (i.e. File submissions) . This would prevent any confusion over expectation that Turnitin could check other submission types (e.g. text, video, mahara)
- Thu, Jun 16, 2016, 5:40 PMHi,
Do you have an estimate about when this plugin will be available to Moodle 3.1?

Ben Flajnik The Bachelor
Ben Flajnik on Courtney Robertson Memoir: A Sad New Low!
Suffice it to say Ben Flajnik won't be reading Courtney Robertson's new memoir, I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain.
The controversial Bachelor winner definitely didn't hold back in the book, which details her adventures (and sexual dalliances) with Flajnik in all their glory.
Courtney Robertson: Ben Flajnik Loves Justin Bieber, Did Me Six Ways From Sunday!
Courtney Robertson's tell-all book, I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends, certainly lives up to its billing as it's not likely to win her any friends now either.
Full of sex, secrets and throwing people under the bus, the tome by the most vilified Bachelor contestant in franchise history does not disappoint.
Courtney Robertson: Ben Flajnik and I Boned in the Fantasy Suite ... and the Ocean!!
Ben Flajnik's ex-fiancee Courtney Robertson is spilling all in her new tell-all book, claiming she had sex with The Bachelor star while on the show.
Multiple times. While the cameras were a-rollin'.
Courtney Robertson Writes Bachelor Tell-All: What Will Be Revealed?!
Courtney Robertson will soon released her intriguingly-titled tell-all book, I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain.
The question: Do you even remember Courtney Robertson?
The Bachelor Love Stories: (Some) Dreams Do Come True!
Dreams do come true. At least 10-20 percent of the time.
Fans know that a final rose does not guarantee a lifetime of happiness, but The Bachelor has produced some couples that have stood the test of time. At least lately.
Courtney Robertson on Ben Flajnik Break-Up: If Only We Lived Together!
Courtney Robertson is speaking out about her split from Ben Flajnik, blaming the long-distance factor for the end of The Bachelor stars' relationship.
Of course, if you're engaged, don't you typically move in with your fiance?
Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson: It's Over!
Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson have broken up. Knock us over with a feather!
Seriously, NO ONE saw that coming ... them making it 11 months, that is. Crazy!
Ben Flajnik, Courtney Robertson Tweet Wedding Hints
Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson haven't been heard from for awhile, which is probably a good thing, considering the negative press they got earlier this year.
Even before The Bachelor star proposed to the brunette model during the show's March finale, they were inundated with an avalanche of bad publicity.
Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson: "Engaged-Dating"
Controversial lovebirds Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson of The Bachelor fame say they are enjoying what they've come to call "engaged dating."
The way this season went, that's as good as one could hope for, if not better.
Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson NOT Moving in Together ... Yet
The Bachelor's Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are now a happy and engaged couple, but that doesn't mean cohabitation is in effect. At least not yet.
Us Weekly (who broke the story of Ben kissing random girls, and who Flajnik calls "shady") recently reported that he and Court were shacking up already.
Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik: Staying Strong, Moving in Together Soon!
The Bachelor stars Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are determined to make this thing work in spite of all the negativity - and they appear to be succeeding.
At least in the immediate aftermath of The Bachelor bloodbath.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Romantic, Funky, Hipster
What materials did you use? I have made this version of my Mermaids Teardrop necklace with heavy gauge bronze wire. The central frame I have hand forged, then hammered on the edge of the loops and swirls, adding a nice flow to the wire. I have then sanded the wire smooth. The central stone is a drop shaped stabalised Turquoise. I have wrapped the top of the frame with bronze wire to secure together. The top of the central drop in the wire is woven, this weave continues around the stone, securing it in place and adding a striking detail. The flowing frame is connected to a handmade chain of stabilised Turquoise chunks, wrapped in bronze wire, to create the links. The necklace is finished with a handmade hook clasp. The whole frame has a gentle smooth curve to it, so that it sits comfortably just below your collar bone. The necklace measures 16 1/2" in total. The centre piece is 3 1/4" across and 2 1/2" tall.

Then again I'm sometimes awed by the imagination and talent of some of the writers. My goal is to write a story in every category which may prove challenging given my lack of experience in some areas. I am a diehard romantic....I'm open to emails and chat requests but prefer to carry on one conversation at a time, would rather focus on one person and I suck at multi-tasking. So if I tell you I am busy please don't be offended, I can always email you later.If commenting on my stories please be honest, I'm learning. Comments, good or bad, will help me improve!Guess I should mention I don't post my picture on Lush for professional reasons. I have trouble sitting still, daydream constantly and have an insatiable curiosity...as soon as I master something I lose interest....except for sex...which either makes it an exception or I haven't mastered it yet...I seem to be one of the few people on the planet who doesn't own a personal cell phone...I'm a bad boy with clever charm. Don't say I didn't warn you.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)--- The Montrose Indians spoiled an early lead and great pitching performance by Cierra Cosslett on Tuesday to defeat the Grand Junction Tigers 5-3.
Arrianna Diaz led the game off with a home run, and the Tigers had a 2-0 lead up until the third inning. Hannah Etchart had a two-out, two-run single in the third to tie the game 2-2 and Montrose eventually got the lead off of Cosslett. Despite the loss, Cosslett went the distance and struck out nine.
GJHS falls to 7-6 on the season, and they will host Central in their next game on Sept. 23.

Soto-Matthysse: A War Expected By Fans And Fighters
By Jake Donovan
You have to give credit to Humberto Soto and Lucas Matthysse for knowing their role.
The two are slated to square off in a super lightweight bout that is highly anticipated on the sport's cult level. Their 12-round title eliminator serves as the co-feature to a SHOWTIME-televised card topped by a welterweight battle between Victor Ortiz and Josesito Lopez.
Neither Soto nor Matthysse pretend that their bout is expected to be a tactical chess match. Many expect the fight to steal the show – and thankfully, so do the combatants.
"Matthysse is a good fighter," Soto (58-7-2, 34KO) acknowledges of this weekend's bout. "He's going to stay in there and he is a smart fighter. We are going to go toe-to-toe."
Soto's opponent is in agreement at least on the toe-to-toe part.
"Humberto is coming to fight," Matthysse (30-2, 28KO) believes. "He wants a war and that makes me happy because we're coming to give him a war."
Both fighters are predicting knockout, a bold proclamation considering that between them there exists just one stoppage loss in 100 combined fights. That moment came when Soto was just 20 years old, poorly managed and thrown in the ring with any given opponent on any given night.
Well over a decade later, Soto is a seasoned veteran looking to make up for lost time. The 32-year old never managed to fully capitalize on the win that put him on the boxing map, when he upset then-unbeaten Rocky Juarez back in 2005. He has remained steady and active in the ring, but seemingly on the outside looking in when it came time for the biggest fights to be made.
Now calling his own shots (for the most part), Soto gladly accepted the challenge offered by Matthysse. There are far less dangerous ways to make a buck and earn a living.
The same could be said of Matthysse, whose only two losses have come on the road and via disputed decisions. Still, they trump his biggest wins, none of which are of the notable variety.
A victory over Soto would change that, a fact not lost on the former three-division titlist.
"There is no doubt Lucas is a strong opponent and a strong fighter," Soto admits. "He comes forward and always looks for a fight. The difference in this fight is the experience. I have a lot of experience, and that's what's going to lead me to victory."

A new multi-dispatch cache, structured as a tree, able to hold more entries more memory-compactly, and able to cache dispatches involving named parameters. And a number of smaller, but welcome bug fixes and performance improvements.
Short for "Metamodel On A Runtime", MoarVM is a virtual machine built especially for Rakudo Perl 6 and the NQP Compiler Toolchain. It uses dynamic optimization techniques to detect hot code and produce specialized versions for the types that show up at runtime. The most popular backend for Rakudo Perl 6, MoarVM stands out by:
For long-running workloads where startup time doesn't matter and you need tried-and-tested threading support, Rakudo on the JVM may be a better bet. It may also - once the slow startup is overcome - win on performance for some workloads, once its sophisticated JIT compiler gets to work. MoarVM is under active development in these areas, and the gap continues to close.

text: Recipes blood orange, almond and ricotta cake January 14, 2016July 14, 2016 by deb Here's a thing I've been doing since the year began that's made me very happy in the kitchen and it's so simple, I completely expect you to roll your eyes at how un-revolutionary it is, but it goes like this: Find a recipe that sounds good to you and make it immediately. Don't put it in the queue; don't save it on that to-cook-one-day list, just dive in and dig in. So far, it's been nothing but great; there was a giant egg bake, ugly cookies, green dinner pancakes, a giant cabbage casserole (recipe added!) we heaped on coarse mustard-slathered bread and a towering spaghetti frittata. And while all of these things have been delicious, what's been the most fun about them is getting back to a kind of impulsivity that's gotten pushed to the wayside in this hyper-scheduled so-called adult life. It's also led to conversations I want more of in 2016, such as "well, if you're around anyway, why don't you stay for dinner and I'll guinea pig a new recipe on you?" Read more »

An explosion rocked the small Central Texas farming town of West on April 17. A fire at West Fertilizer Co. ignited stores of ammonium nitrate that detonated with the force of a small earthquake. Fifteen people died. Hundreds more were injured. A nursing home, apartment complex, schools and scores of private homes near the plant were destroyed.

But a Dallas Morning News investigation found that it happened in Texas at least 120 times from 2000 through 2006.

Meanwhile, his secretive Emerging Technology Fund devoted millions of dollars to his campaign donors, sometimes in violation of the fund's own rules.

Studio Art Scholarships
Prospective students who wish to major in studio art and apply for a merit scholarship may do so in one of two ways:
- by scheduling a personal portfolio review of your original artworks (not digital photographs of art works) and an interview with the studio art faculty on Monday, November 16, 2015 and Monday, February 15, 2016. These reviews are in connection with Pirate Preview events offered by the Admissions Office, which gives you an opportunity to learn about the program from the studio faculty and art students, take a tour of the art facilities, and participate in other events on campus (campus tours, class visitations, a luncheon, etc.); or
- by sending in a digital portfolio without a personal interview due on February 20, 2016.
We prefer the first method, because we enjoy meeting students in person!
All students intending to apply for a scholarship should contact the Administrative Assistant for The Sarofim School of Fine Arts at 512-863-1548, for more information and to schedule your review.
Scholarship Information:
Scholarship Awards are renewable annually up to four years subject to annual review. If you participate in an off-campus domestic or international study program during which you are ineligible for Southwestern University financial aid, your art award is renewable for a total of eight semesters.
This award is made with the requirements that you will major in studio art (B.A. or B.F.A. program), demonstrate a high level of motivation and interest in the visual arts, and make satisfactory progress toward completing the major as outlined in the course catalog. Evaluative criteria include: enrollment in at least one art course every semester (with the exception of enrollment in off-campus programs); satisfactory academic progress; and regular contributions to departmental activities (for example, attending most art lectures and demonstrations by visiting artists, art exhibition openings, and participating in student art events). Scholarship recipients must maintain a 3.0 grade point average in art classes and a 2.5 grade point average overall.
Recipients may also be eligible for additional assistance such as academic scholarships. In addition, recipients may apply for University need based aid. For more information on financial aid and scholarships, please click here or call 1-800-252-1366.
*Art History and Architecture students may be eligible for academic scholarships and are also encouraged to apply for need-based aid through the Financial Aid Office. For more information on financial aid and scholarships, please click here or call 800-252-3166.
Application Requirements:
- A completed Studio Art Scholarship application (hard copy for personal reviews; digital copies for digital portfolios)
- A portfolio of 15 - 20 examples of your most recent work (requirements listed below;)
- A letter of interest with a brief statement about: why you want to be an artist, a description of the artist or artworks you admire, and your academic and artistic goals (approx. one page); and
- If applicable, documentation of your College Board Advanced Placement score in Studio Art
Portfolio Requirements:
All art portfolio applications should include 15-20 examples of your best, most recent work for review. When possible, include both two-dimensional and three-dimensional work in any medium and a minimum of five drawings. The department prefers seeing drawings from direct observation of actual forms rather than drawings from photographs.
1) Merit Scholarship Portfolio Reviews with the faculty: For the personal portfolio reviews with the three studio faculty, bring 15-20 original art works when possible. There are only two events per year to meet with the full studio faculty at once, so take advantage of this opportunity! If some work is too large or too fragile to bring, you may substitute digital photographs of that work. Contact the Administrative Assistant at 512-863-1548 in The Sarofim School of Fine Arts to schedule your review.
2) To Submit A Digital Portfolio: If you are applying Without the personal review, please submit your digital portfolio that incorporates the requested four Application Requirements as ONE PDF FILE. Contact the Administrative Assistant of The Sarofim School of Fine Arts at 512-863-1548 for the email address to submit your digital portfolio.
Digital images should be numbered and titled in the file name with a corresponding image list to include: your name, title of piece, medium, dimensions (height x length – and depth for 3-d forms) and the year of completion. Label information may be included below each image in place of an image list.
The aesthetic quality of the portfolio itself is important. The purpose of image editing software, if applied, should be to represent your artworks accurately and with the least distraction. Therefore, crop the background but not the image in all 2-D works. For 3-D works use a plain background such as the blue sky or single color backdrop.
Eligibility Requirements:
Candidates must apply for admission to Southwestern University separately. Admission to Southwestern University must be granted in order to receive an award, however, admission status is not normally determined until after the portfolio deadline. This offer is void as of May 1, 2016 if you have already accepted financial aid from another college or university.

Hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has over 800 miles of trails and more than 500,000 acres of land. We've put together the details you'll need to know for a day of Smoky Mountain hiking.
Tips For Smoky Mountain hiking
The hiker should be prepared for a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The temperature on some hikes can be 10 degrees cooler than the lower elevations. It always gets colder as your hike toward higher elevations, so dress in layers!
Be sure to wear comfortable hiking shoes. Of course, we recommend hiking boots, but tennis shoes will be fine if you're only hiking for a day or two. Boots come in handy when you're hiking rough trails or spending more time hiking.
Remember to stay on the trail. Although it may appear fun to venture off the trail, you don't want to leave the designated hiking path.
With a little care and planning, Smoky Mountain hiking can be much more rewarding and exciting.
Backcountry Camping Permits
The backcountry use permit isBackcountry Camping Permits free but is required for all overnight camping in the backcountry. The back-country permit system is designed to protect both the Park's natural environment and the quality of your experience. The National Park Service has the responsibility to protect the Park for you and future visitors.
How To get Your Backcountry Permit
You may self-register for a permit at any ranger station by following posted instructions, but your itinerary may require access to a public pay telephone, as explained below.
Some sites are rationed because of heavy use. To familiarize yourself with rationed and non-rationed sites, contact the Backcountry Office at (423) 436-1231 for a Smoky Mountains Trail Map. It includes a chart which indicates rationed sites. You must telephone the Backcountry Reservation Office to obtain permission for the use of rationed sites. Failure to do so invalidates your permit and puts you in violation of regulations.
If your itinerary includes at least one rationed site, we encourage you to make advance reservations up to a month ahead of the trip's start. Have your trip planned before your call and indicate exactly which site you intend to occupy for each night of your trip. If no rationed sites are involved, you may obtain your permit via self-registration upon your arrival in the park.

In the past this has been a harbinger of consolidation:
E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corp. (NASDAQ: ETFC) today announced new pricing that eliminates its $12.99 commission tier and account activity fees, and increases simplicity, value, and transparency for current and prospective customers of E*TRADE Securities LLC.
Commencing February 8, 2010, all customers of E*TRADE Securities will benefit from $9.99 or less per stock and options trade pricing (plus a $0.75 per options contract fee), while higher volume traders will continue to enjoy the current $7.99 per trade rate. In addition, E*TRADE Securities has eliminated annual IRA account fees; a per share commission formerly applied to market trades larger than 2,000 shares; and, effective in the second quarter of 2010, all account service fees.
"Our simplified pricing provides a cost-effective, transparent solution for investors," said Michael Curcio, President, E*TRADE Securities LLC. "The new pricing structure complements our innovative product offering and high quality service, and reinforces our commitment to offering a compelling value proposition to our customers."
This move follows a similar move at Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) and preceded Fidelity's move to lower commissions. Ameritrade (NASDAQ:AMTD) has not moved lower but that is because the others are coming down to where they already are. Now AMTD has no pricing advantage over its rivals. They ought to see subscriber growth slow dramatically. The easiest way to grow now? Merge…

I would be paid $300 for my first two assignments. 1. send western union money transfer to Harvey Field, for $950 plus $90 send fees no ID required. It had to be done by question. Question was color and the answer was gold. 2. Take $58.60 to a retail store like Wal-Mart and purchase goods.
I was to keep all receipts and notify Andrew Van Horne by telephone or email letting him know that the jobs were complete.
So for these two jobs they sent a check with the letter for the amount of $1,398.60
1. my salary $300.00
2. western union transfer $950 + $90= $940.00
3. Shopping fund $58.60
for a total of the check $1,389.60
I deposited the check and yes it was returned. I have two teenage daughters and loosing this amount of money was dreadful. Please people don't fall for this.

Meta Slider Version 2.8-beta Doesn't work with WP 3.9.
Only one image appears and is static. Anyone else agree or know a solution? thx
Meta Slider Version 2.8-beta Doesn't work with WP 3.9.
Only one image appears and is static. Anyone else agree or know a solution? thx
Hi Jimshim,
This is the only report we've had about this. I doubt 3.9 is the cause (WordPress updates themselves very rarely break anything)
Could you send me a link to your site please?
Here is one of the links
Thanks. I can see some weird <p> tags being added to the slideshow output.
Please could you try wrapping the shortcode in [raw] tags, eg:
[raw][metaslider id=123][/raw]
I will try right now.
You're a genius. That worked!
Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Please consider leaving us a review if you get a minute :)
You bet!
Nice one, thanks!
I have the exact same problem. Meta Slider 2.8 beta. Worked fine on WP 3.8. After upgrading to 3.9 the same issue. I tried the solution of the [raw] tags and that solved the problem, however, I have a lot of Meta Slider content and it wil take a long time to fix everything. I installed the Search and Replace plugin but do not know how to use that for shortcodes with variable ID's. If you have any other solution short of a backup restore I'd appreciate it.
Hi caeddm,
I'll take a look at why this might be happening with 2.8-beta.
In the mean time there is a quick and dirty hack, please try adding this to your themes functions.php file:
function metaslider_avoid_wpautop($html, $id, $settings) {
return str_replace(array("\n", "\t", " "), "", $html);
add_filter("metaslider_slideshow_output", "metaslider_avoid_wpautop", 10, 3);
Hello Tom.
After adding it to the Theme functions.php file, I get an Internal Server Error. I am unable to access anything from the wp-admin login screen and the site is down. BTW, if it is useful, my TinyMCE Spell Checker also gave problems after the upgrade but I am less concerned about that.
Hi caeddm,
Sorry to hear that - I think I know why that might have happened - sometimes when you paste code from these forums it converts the double quotes into invalid code. I should have used a github gist for it.
Do you have FTP Access to your site, or a control panel that lets you access and edit your files? You'll need to navigate to /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/functions.php and remove the code.
Here is the same code but in gist format, it should copy and paste more reliably:
None of the solutions proposed is working for me...
i included
echo do-shorcode("[metaslider id=2308]");
I ve tried to to
echo do-shorcode("[raw][metaslider id=2308][/raw]");
echo do-shorcode("[raw]");
echo do-shorcode("[metaslider id=2308]");
echo do-shorcode("[/raw]");
it didn't work..; I've also tried to add the github's code in my function.php...
Nothing worked in my case...
King regards...
Hi nangenon,
Are you sure your problem is related to wpautop? Do you have <p> tags in the slideshow output where they shouldn't be?
No, The generated code doesn't contain <p> tags...
the problem is that i see the javascript code in the output code,
<script type="text/javascript">var metaslider_2308 = function($) {$('#metaslider_2308').responsiveSlides({ timeout:3000,pager:false,nav:true,pause:true,speed:600,prevText:"<",nextText:">",auto:true});};var timer_metaslider_2308 = function() {window.jQuery && jQuery.isReady ? metaslider_2308(window.jQuery) : window.setTimeout(timer_metaslider_2308, 1);};timer_metaslider_2308();</script>
but firebug tells me
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function (index):151
metaslider_2308 (index):151
Thanks in advance...
Ive find the problem :
I no more have JS script loaded in my header
nor CSS...
If i put it by hand, the slides works...
Hi nangenon,
It should be in the footer by default. Make sure your theme has a call to wp_footer() in the footer.php file, and you have Print CSS and Print JS enabled in the slideshow settings.
i do have both (wp_footer, print_css and print_js in advanced settings...).
It worked fine in wp 3.8.3, but no more in wp 3.9
Ok : big mistakes : One of my function made php stop on home before loading footer !
Thanks for all : Was My fault !!
Hello Tom,
I tried all the means you gave here but none of them seems to work. We can view the images on the slider, can also easily navigate through them via buttons but the images are stalled and do not move on their own. Only the effect works is the coin slider.
Hope you find a quick fix to it shortly,
Hello Tom.
Do you have FTP Access to your site, or a control panel that lets you access and edit your files? You'll need to navigate to /wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/functions.php and remove the code.
Here is the same code but in gist format, it should copy and paste more reliably:
Didn't work. Created a lot of output with really mesed up images. Then "Internal Server Error" again. I'm going for the backup restore option in the meantime to revert back to WP 3.8. - was it 3? but will follow your responses (PS: I didn't follow any of the other steps offered).
Hi, I have the same problem. It's not working on WP 3.9 (the updated 2.8- beta version). I updated both today and as a result all my sliders aren't working: http://interiordesignplus.biz/design-ideas/ I also tried all different types of sliders, none seems to work at all.
Just read the whole thread - THANKS, Tom. It worked after wrapping the slider in a short code - [raw] [/raw]
nope wrapping the slider code in [raw] [/raw] does not work at all either..
I placed [raw][metaslider id=74][/raw] in the HTML editor. Now though the slider is visible in the stagnant mode, even the [raw] [/raw] codes shows up publicly. :(
@Kalyan Brata Das
Hi, it only works for Coin Slider. For the other types it is not working, you are right.
yes true @terrazzor .. Hope the author comes up with a fix very soon.. And the coin slider is also not responsive. Hence, I wanted to use the other effects but since they are not working properly or as supposed to be, I have to use to coin slider as of now. Not sure when there will be fix to it.. :(
Kalyan and terrazzor, please could you start your own threads please with the following info?
A link to a page where you have set up a slideshow which is broken (ie, set to something that isn't Coin Slider).
I'm having trouble keeping track of this topic so it would be very helpful if you start your own topics in individual threads, your issues are not necessarily related.
Could anyone else who is having problems do the same also - I'm going to set this thread to resolved as the original issue has been fixed.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Definition of dark matter in English:
dark matter
(In some cosmological theories) nonluminous material that is postulated to exist in space and that could take any of several forms including weakly interacting particles ( cold dark matter) or high-energy randomly moving particles created soon after the Big Bang ( hot dark matter).
Example sentences
- According to cosmological theory, soon after the Big Bang, cold dark matter formed the universe's first large-scale structures, which then collapsed under their own weight to form vast halos.
- Identification of the different energetic particles, including dark matter, is done by pulse shape discrimination.
- Most astronomers believe that dark matter exists - even though it has never been seen, and no one knows what it might be.

This is just a quick Saturdayish post to say that ABC's new sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat" is surprisingly enjoyable. It's based on a memoir, which probably explains the specificity of the setting: The central character is Eddie Huang, a rap-loving plump kid whose parents move from DC's Chinatown to suburban Florida in 1995 in order to open their own restaurant, the perpetually-struggling Cattleman's Ranch. The humor mixes culture-clash jokes and nice specific details (one episode gets a lot of … [Read more...]

"Singing Gospel, Growing Up Gay": I review "Choir Boy"
at Studio Theater: "Choir Boy" is about the struggles of a gay teen coming of age in a black, Christian prep school for boys; but it's also about the complex interweaving of religion, ambition, and emotion. In Studio's staging it's almost entirely effective. This story could easily be melodramatic—McCraney makes several heavy-handed choices in terms of character development and dialogue—but the committed actors and stylized use of singing give it an emotional power which carries it over its occa … [Read more...]

It still amazes me that we got through our LO's surgery two years ago. But you do get through. You do because your child needs you and that natural instinct to protect and nurture kicks in and drives you. I had my own personal breakdown two days after the surgery...the adrenaline has to run out and some point and that's ok too!
Mother to DS: Rowen born 11/23/2010
Full repair of TOF: OHS 05/03/2011
I know for us, the first time we didn't want anyone else there. The second time we did ask our children's pastor to come and pray with us. She brought us lunch and it at least helped put my mind at ease a little. The waiting was terrible and as the day wore on I couldn't concentrate anymore.
But then... It's done. You get to see your baby and start the process of healing and going home. Pray, shop online for baby clothes, toys, etc that you can use after. Get something like a easy cross stitch package and teach yourself how to do it in those long waiting hours. Vent here.
You can do it. You will get through it. Crying is ok. Breaking down is ok. It's not fair. But you will get through it.
Johanna - Born 7/16/12, TOF with Pulmonary Atresia, PAPVR; BT Shunt 8/16/12; Repair 2/20/13
I agree with every post. You can do it, you will do it and we are all here for you. Waiting for the surgery is the worst. We are now 9 months out from the full repair which is unbelieveable to me, it really is all a memory now. Private message me anytime. XXOO
Mama to Maggie: Born Jan 11, 2012 with Tetralogy of Fallot...BT shunt Mar 1, 2012 and full repair Sept 27, 2012...our sweet, happy, healthy girl!
Ill be praying,
God Bless!

Prayers for you. When the time comes, you will be stonger that you thought you were able to be...mainly because you have to and because God will give you strength. Think of it as handing her over to God and not chance. She will come out a healthier, happier, baby and she will feel so much better....try to focus on the outcome and how much better she will be. Every blessing. Stay strong.
Hey there lovely - thinking of you and sending so many hugs...you will get through this and so will Quinn! You will come out the other side stronger as a family and get to enjoy family life as you imagined it would be and oxygen saturation levels and surgery will be a long distant memory I promise! Never forget how much courage you have and how brave you have all been to come this far.

Centos 5.1 Live CD
The makers of the free enterprise Linux, Centos, have released version 5.1, the latest version of their distribution on a Live CD.
This is the first release to use the Fedora project's Live CD tools. The two projects have closer ties than a single toolkit: Centos is created from GPL-licensed source code by Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL); the Fedora community project is sponsored by Red Hat as a test bed for new developments in RHEL.
Thanks to the new production application, the image of the Centos 5.1 Live CD can now be booted from a USB stick. The software collection is from Centos 5.1 and thus matches that of RHEL 5.1.
As the Live CD also has a wide-ranging collection of LVM and raid tools, as well as Qtparted and Samba 3.0.25b, the Centos project says that it is perfect as a rescue CD. The ISO image is available for downloading from the Centos mirror servers.

There are quite a number of escort agencies in Nottingham. Today, let's take a run down as to what one agency has to offer for you. Yes, let's talk about City of Escorts. This agency takes pride with their beautiful, smart and sexy escorts. But the question is, with regard to their escorts, service and price, how do they rate so far? Do you want to know? Well, read on for the detailed review below.
The Escorts
One thing about City Of Escorts Nottingham is that the girls they have are one of a kind. They are beautiful on their own unique way. Each one has a different personality from the other. You will never get bored when you are being accompanied by either one of their escorts. The best part of it all, they are deadly gorgeous, know how to treat a customer right, and always make sure you will be comfortable when you are with them. Even if it is your first time meeting their escorts, it is as if you have known them for ages.
The Service
Lets go with their service. First, the moment you get in contact with them, you will be treated with enthusiasm, and they handle every customer with utmost confidentiality. Therefore, your secrets are safe with them. You do not to worry about your information being transferred from one hand to the other. Everything is discreet and your private info is safe with them. Second, you will be having a blast when you are together with one of their escorts. The moment your eyes met, shake hands, and utter the first words, you will feel comfortable and never be awkward about it. They really trained their escorts on how to treat a customer right. Plus, they have lots of things to talk about with you. Whether you love sports, politics or any topic under the sun they can freely talk about it and share their insights. Lastly, every service ends right. You will feel that you had a great time.
