Henri Ikonen plays a straightforward game and definitely isn't afraid of going to the net. I haven't seen him use his shot that much this season, but based on last year it's quite good. In Jr.A he's strong in puck battles and shields the puck well along the boards. He seems to have gained quite a lot weight during the summer which has made his skating/movement look clearly heavier than before. He might be closer to 6'0'' than 6'1'' at the moment, but this is just speculation. Finds an open teammate on the rush or after a board battle, but isn't very creative or much of a playmaker. Has above average hands. Needs improvement in all areas of the game, would become a more dominant FEL player with slightly better/stronger skating. I don't see him as a potential 1st rounder, mid to late rounder more likely. Two recent draftees from KalPa; Teemu Hartikainen and Iiro Pakarinen play a fairly similar game.
It's early and some might disagree, but here's how I see the upcoming draft for Finns at the moment:
1. D – Olli Määttä (London Knights)
2. F – Teuvo Teräväinen (Jokerit)
3. D – Ville Pokka (Kärpät)
4. D – Mikko Vainonen (HIFK)

Tomb Raider: Legend
How Lara got her groove back.
Tomb Raider: Legend was likely to be Lara's final, make-or-break last-ditch effort, a chance to determine once and for all if the first two Raiders were lucky flukes or if, in fact, with the proper time and effort the series could be relevant to the world at large. As it happens, the answer is "relevant." For the first time in far too long, a Tomb Raider title has more value as a game than as the punch line for a cautionary tale on the dangers of overextending a franchise.
Legend isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. The combat could use more polish, or maybe Lara and her enemies simply need to stop in for a group eye exam -- gunplay at greater than 10 meters is annoyingly hit-or-miss, emphasis on miss. Worse, the quest is punctuated by two completely awful bike chase sequences that drag on into seemingly endless exercises in endurance. And finally, it's jarringly short, with an ending that's not so much a cliff-hanger as an interruption.
Then again, when was the last time anyone actually complained about a Tomb Raider game being too short? Typically, Lara's adventures seem to go on and on. Coming to the end and wanting more is something new to the series, and a welcome change of pace. In a sense, it seems to encapsulate Crystal Dynamics' approach to Legend: Keep the things about Raider that work, change the things that don't.
To that end, both the controls and storyline from 2003's abysmal Angel of Darkness have been completely abandoned, making this a fresh start that shucks off all the missteps of previous games. For the first time ever, Lara Croft controls fluidly -- her world isn't divided into little squares, and she can perform complex series of acrobatic maneuvers without a pause (and often has to, later in the game). For the first time, there's actually a cohesive plot running throughout the adventure, propelled by radio commentary from Lara's tech crew and augmented by flashbacks that delve into her past, particularly the circumstances of the deadly plane crash that transformed her from a pampered rich kid into a heat-packing badass.
And despite everyone's lousy aim, even combat works well. Lara can duck and dive and take cover, and she's completely abandoned her melee attacks to focus entirely on guns and grenades, making for an unabashedly Halo-esque system. She also has a magnetic grappling hook -- shades of Prince of Persia -- along with a Metroid Prime-style scanning ability. Oh, and there's a little God of War in the use of the Triangle button as a special action trigger. Sometimes it allows her to recover quickly from a clumsy jump, while other times it lets her shoot something in the combat environment to put a special kind of hurt on the bad guys. And then there's the Shenmue-derived quick-time event sequences....
But if you're going to borrow, why not from the best? Crystal Dynamics has done a great job of implementing features from other games into a smart, entertaining package that -- and this is the important part -- feels wholly like Tomb Raider. More to the point, it feels like the game Raider has always wanted to be.
The secret is in the environments. They're epic in scale, daunting in their complexity, deadly in their design. And a good half of the stages send Lara back into her favorite turf, crumbling ruins filled with cunning hazards. The ancient deathtraps are punctuated with more modern settings, and in several cases one setting bleeds seamlessly into the next, sometimes quite cleverly. Fans often complain when Lara mucks around for too long in urban environments ("It's called Tomb Raider") but Legend offers a perfect balance of dusty ruins and bustling cityscapes, with the occasional dusty cityscape tossed in for good measure. Each globe-spanning level is a self-contained experience and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to complete.
The disconnect between stages combined with the constant radio chatter means that Legend is lacking in the sense of isolation and exploration that made the original game so haunting, but it also means there's far more variety, both in terms of scenery and tasks. A boss encounter pops up every few stages, although they're primarily remarkable for how frustrating they are. Still, they're doled out in just the right proportion -- much like everything in Legend.
Bikes and bosses aside, where Legend truly excels is in its sense of pacing. Gun battles are used as a sort of punctuation, bookends to the exploration and puzzle-solving at the core of the game. Half an hour of pit-leaping, wall-scaling, and blade-dodging is frequently capped off with a pitched battle that gives each section a satisfying sense of closure. Legend's designers have an excellent sense of how a game should flow, and the result is an adventure that never becomes dull and rarely feels forced.
Of course, Legend isn't going to change the world. It's hardly the monumental, influential work that the original Tomb Raider was, but it doesn't really need to be. It proves Tomb Raider's success was the result of a great gameplay idea that holds up 10 years later, not just the result of good timing at the cusp of the 3D revolution. And it's good, addictive fun that deserves a fair chance from Raider fans and detractors alike. It's been a long time in coming, but Crystal Dynamics has given us a great reminder of why we started playing these games in the first place.

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission voted 3-2 last week to reject amendments seeking to allow alcohol-serving music and arts venues to have all-ages music shows.
But the OLCC does plan in February to revisit that vote on changes to what's known as the "minor postings" rule. Those changes have been long sought by Portland's music and arts venues (see "Sonic Youth," WW , Sept. 5, 2007) in hopes of offering all-ages shows if they submit a "control plan" to the OLCC for keeping booze out of the hands of minors (wristbands for patrons over 21, for example).
Proponents of the changes at the OLCC's Dec. 13 meeting stressed the importance of teens having access to music in a regulated environment, and the difficulties of venues under the current rules to hold all-ages shows and remain financially viable. Some larger venues, like Berbati's Pan, have managed to hold all-ages shows because their size or configuration allows them to separate underage patrons.
But between now and the OLCC's review of the issue in February, here are some key numbers to consider for the other venues:
- Number of public comments or signatures received by the OLCC in favor of the changes: 256
- Number of comments or signatures opposed: 22
- Percentage of 11th-graders in Oregon who said in a 2006 survey it would be "very easy" or "sort of easy" to get alcohol: 80
- Number of months Berbati's Pan has held all-ages shows with a control plan for alcohol in place: 12
- Number of underage alcohol violations at Berbati's in that time: 0
- Average age of the OLCC's five commissioners: 62

source code control systemAbbreviated as SCCS, source code control system is tool used to track the development of a source file to prevent it from being altered by more than one person at a time. It is commonly used for projects where multiple source files are used or where multiple people are working with the source file. When seen written in all capital letters, Source Code Control System refers to the first source code revision control system, which was developed at Bell Labs in 1972 by Marc J. Rochkind.

Is Texas Hillary Clinton country? The presumptive Democratic nominee thinks so.
In an interview with New York magazine Clinton was asked which traditionally Republican-voting states might be in play for her if she is pitted against Donald Trump in November:
"Texas!" she exclaimed, eyes wide, as if daring me to question this, which I did. "You are not going to win Texas," I said. She smiled, undaunted. "If black and Latino voters come out and vote, we could win Texas," she told me firmly, practically licking her lips.
Clinton was in Dallas a few weeks ago at a fundraising event hosted by prominent Dallas lawyer Lisa Blue Baron, one of the nation's most prolific Democratic Party donors.
It was Clinton's fourth fundraising stop in Dallas within a year. She's also stopped in Austin and Houston to takes some green from blue portions of the state.
Clinton's push to attract Latino and black voters is similar to Wendy Davis' gubernatorial campaign in 2014. Davis lost to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott by more than 20 points.
Davis now regularly appears as a Clinton surrogate at events around the state promoting Clinton's message on gender equality and women's rights.
Clinton knows the power of Texas voters. One of her first jobs as a Democratic operative was registering Latino voters in South Texas to vote for George McGovern in 1972.
More than 40 years later, Clinton continues to count on Texas voters. She edged out President Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary and soundly defeated Sen. Bernie Sanders by a 32-point margin in the March 1 primary.
Julián Castro, the former San Antonio Mayor and current Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, is one of many on the shortlist for Clinton's vice presidential pick. The odds of a Texan vice president helping to deliver the state like Lyndon B. Johnson did for John F. Kennedy in 1960 are slim.
Texas Democrats are hoping to make gains in down ticket races this cycle by using Trump's incendiary comments about women, Hispanics and Muslims to increase voter turnout. Will that help Clinton's campaign?
Maybe. But she will need to reach more voters than just those in the state's urban areas.
Texas has been deeply red the last two presidential elections. Republican Mitt Romney defeated Obama by 16 points in 2012, and Sen. John McCain defeated Obama by 11 points in 2008.
As The Texas Tribune notes, the cost of campaigning in Texas can also be prohibitive — the state is home to four of the most expensive media markets in the country.
In April, The News' Gromer Jeffers noted that some Democrats would have preferred to campaign against a GOP nominee like Sen. Ted Cruz, whose ideology is clear, rather than Trump who can attract Republicans, Democrats and independent voters and is less predictable.
Cruz won the Texas Republican primary handily, 43.8 percent to Trump's 26.7 percent.
Former Dallas County Republican Chairman Jonathan Neerman, who supported Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, said in April that it doesn't bode well for the GOP if Trump is the nominee.
"You could have a cataclysmic event where Republicans stay at home or even vote for Hillary Clinton," Neerman said. "He could hurt Republicans, but will that be enough to flip some seats?"
Hard to say. There are no polls measuring a Clinton-Trump race in Texas, but CNN reports that national polls have Clinton on par with Obama's victory in 2012.

Islam Documentaries
ISIS is the most brutal terrorist group in recent history. They murder, rape, pillage, enslave, and destroy, and it's all done in the name of religion.
Banaz was a beautiful girl; usually calm and quiet, and she loved to see others happy. She was born in Iraq in 1985 to a large family.
Does freedom of speech give the right to offend? And who determines exactly which religious groups the media gets to make fun of?
Visit the Historic Old City and Meet its Diverse People
Through the years, Jerusalem has drawn mankind to itself like a magnet. Thousands have left their countries and cultures seeking the ancient promise of peace.
Radical Islam's Vision for America
There are estimated to be over 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, comprising almost a quarter of the world's population. Most Muslims are peaceful and do not support terror.
In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Islamic fundamentalism has, in the minds of many, taken the place once held by communism as the leading threat to the safety and security of the industrialized West.
Scared Sacred is a feature-length film written, directed, and narrated by Velcrow Ripper. This documentary takes us on a five-year journey to the "Ground Zeros" of the world in search of hope and meaning.
Shortly after the unfortunate events that rocked the globe on September 11, 2001, The Gallup Organization made the startling decision to create a poll that would show the world what was really going on in the minds of Muslims around the world.

The constant war in Israel/Palestine breaks my heart. I have my own opinions, but rather than take sides and get caught up in a debate that seems to have no end in sight: I will take this opportunity to present a documentary that has one goal in mind: PEACE.
This documentary has one modest goal: to seriously disrupt the beliefs of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. They go about digging in Jerusalem and excavating new proof from the time of Jesus that could challenge the very concepts of the bible – and the very bible, itself.
Being only one of two commercial operators countrywide and boasting an array of nine hearses and eleven full-time staff, Taslim Funerals takes on the mammoth job of catering for Islam's dead.

Seat belt law would save lives
It's been said time and time again: You can't fix stupid.
But that's exactly what the West Virginia House of Delegates could do with House Bill 2108, which would allow police to initiate a traffic stop if a driver is observed not wearing a seat belt. As the law presently stands, failure to buckle up can only be ticketed as a secondary offense to another moving violation.
Thirty-two states, along with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, already have primary offense seat belt laws, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
It seems like common sense. Clicking your safety belt when you get into the car – a process that takes about one second – helps keep you safe in the event of an accident. But there are people out there, for one reason or another, who just don't need that hassle.
According to information provided by the Centers for Disease Control, it isn't rocket science – safety belts are called "safety belts" because they help to keep people safe. CDC data indicate that 53 percent of drivers and passengers killed in car crashes in 2009 were unbuckled.
The bill passed through the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, though by the skin of its teeth – 13 yays to 11 nays.
The fact that some delegates voted against the bill may seem baffling enough, but it was the line of questioning directed toward Bob Tipton, director of the Governor's Highway Safety Program, prior to the vote that really is a head scratcher.
CDC data indicate people not wearing a seat belt are 30 times more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash, and that more than 75 percent of people ejected during a crash die from their injuries.
But that didn't stop Tipton from being asked to supply data reporting on people whose lives were actually saved by being ejected from a car.
"I have heard people say that, but I have never seen it," Tipton said, according to MetroNews. "It doesn't make any sense."
No, it makes no sense. Nor did questions asking about people being trapped by seat belts as cars sunk under water, as reported by MetroNews' John Kerkhoff.
After the vote was cast, the bill's detractors quickly began to voice their displeasure with its advancement to the House floor. Many were upset on libertarian grounds – the decision to put one's life at risk by not wearing a seat belt is his own, they argued.
"Peeking into our cars to make sure we're being good boys and girls," Howard Monroe, a host on Talk Radio 1370 in Morgantown, tweeted. "What happened to the right to be left alone?"
"Nanny state," tweeted Delegate Jim Butler, R-Mason, simply and to-the-point.
Others had different concerns. Delegate Isaac Sponaugle, D-Pendleton, who voted against the bill, said he did so not only because seat belts are a personal responsibility, but also because he believed a law would lead to abuse by law enforcement.
Delegate Stephen Skinner, D-Jefferson, also voted against the bill, but for an opposite reason – he believed the $25 fine proposed in the bill to be too lenient against offenders, according to a report in the Charleston Daily Mail.
"A better way to do it would be to make the penalty one people will remember," Skinner told the newspaper.
While his vote nearly killed the bill, Skinner has the right idea. While concerns about giving law enforcement an opportunity to abuse a new law may be warranted, there is a simple solution to keep the red and blue lights from flashing in your rearview – buckle your safety belt. It might just save your life, too.

RPG NPC AI, Scheduling and Needs...

The less constraints placed upon the plot the more chance there is for circumstance to conspire against the designers and lead away from good, tight game play.
On the other hand the more constraints placed upon the game the more linear the plot development and the more likely you are to end up with a scene-by-scene forced storyline.
I think main plot lines should be more directly scripted in terms of player circumstance (where the player is at a given time, not where an NPC is) leaving the non-linearity to minor plot-lines and less consiquential occurences.
From my point of view I''d love to see a world expand based on the intelligences of the NPC''s and what they decide to do at any given time but unless you want the possibility of a meandering experience then you have to have some form of constrained sequencing to the game.
Just my $0.02.

However, the way that I''m envisioning this, the player wouldn''t be simply waiting for the situation where the 2 NPCs come together. If there are a lot of NPCs then the chance of something happening would pretty good. Furthermore, one situation of 2 NPCs coming in contact may trigger a few other plots w/ it which would keep the player busy.

What if the computer told the NPCs involved that due to a scripted plot event (ie. a murder needs to happen in the story), they have a certain amount of time to make this "chance meeting" happen.
One NPC could be at the bakery, while the other is on his way to the barber. Although the barber might be on the other side of the town, the second NPC knows that he needs to perform this scripted plot sequence within a certain amount of time, so he makes a detour to walk past the bakery on his way to the barber.
If it has run out of time to perform the plot sequence, he just goes straight to the bakery for no good reason at all, and hopes that the player won''t think this strange.
Either way, upon reaching the bakery, the other NPC senses this and knows that she must perform her part of the plot sequence...
Not sure how this could be implemented, but it''s an idea...

Maybe we should make a petition to get Origin to release some of the Ultima source code? Like from 7 or 8 or something.
They might release it or at least some of it if there are enough people wanting it...

It''s really bad
I don''t think it''s a good idea to see someone else code, I think it''s best to think about it with a blink mind to be more open minded.
With a previous code available we might spend way too much time trying to understand it, and to modify it...

at Gamasutra i read a REALLY interesting article from Wright and Marshall:
More AI in less Processor Time: ''Egocentric'' AI
This article treats the actual implementation of AI running on Playstation II. Besides there are REALLY
interesting ways of implementing a need-based dynamic (e.g. behaviour-set, perception-set)
The time i was reading this article i also read about Transmeta''s Crusoe (www.transmeta.com), which is a new
kind of processor. (i think Linus was involved developing this one)
There is a nifty thing about Crusoe: machine-code is interpreted by processor-intern software.
Now imagine what a power a Process-Manager for AI would have, if (almost) beeing in the processor itself...
I really would like to have some response, but if you don''t care about Crusoe, at least read the article mentioned above.
It''s really worth reading it!!!!

Why don''t we try and develop some sort of real-time world where NPCs can interact (doesn''t have to have super 3d graphics, just needs to be practical) and then people on the NPCAI mailing list can write NPC classes that simulate real-life people. It might help us to design some realistic NPCs....

I made another post under a different topic name (still figuring this system out a bit, sorry) outlining some things. It was after I wrote the post that I opened up word and started to put something consolidated together.
Any new insights which come up here that I think are appropriate to the system, as well as my own, I will put in, and I''ll tag
The system looks like it may be walking down an AL research type thing rather than a NPC AI road, but we''ll see how many cycles the bitch winds up eating...
As stated in the article, I reckon we use the AI system to build a tribe of hunter-gatherers and prehistoric cows in a sparse prarie (sp?) to get the fundamentals right.
Something else, the Environment system will be no small feat, if you think about the number of things you can _do_ in the world, and what effects it all had on other people. In addition to that, there''s fun stuff like weather.
This is incomplete at best, it was written up in a couple of hours before I went to bed. But it will grow! Most of the stuff there now is new-ish rather than stuff from the thread, I''ll get that in soon. (And I''ll put some comments saying so somehow)
Note also that I do have _my_ own "grand vision" of this, which may or may not be the same as your one. Like I said before, this may not be suited for a game AI. But I''m more interested in AIs than games personally, so that''s not a biggie to me.
Anyway, here''s the url:

Review Details
Citizen Messenger Bag
- Product Review (submitted on April 30, 2013):
- SF, Seattle, DC. Bike, motorcycle, little red wagon. Rain, snow, red states. This bag has traveled near and far, been absolutely abused time and time again and besides a bit of dirt, shows no signs of wear and tear. rides comfortably, holds anything short of drywall and I still play with the buckle more often than any reasonable human being should.

Juniper Networks, a networking systems provider, and BitGravity, Inc., a content delivery network (CDN) specialist that is wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Communications, on Monday announced they have signed an agreement under which Juniper will acquire rights to the service management layer of BitGravity's Content Delivery Network (CDN) technology. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Service layer management is used in a CDN to provide systems monitoring, reporting, distributed management, and customer interfaces for both the network operators and content providers. BitGravity (Burlingame, Calif., USA) is already a customer of Juniper and has been integrating Juniper's (Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) services into its service management technology.
"The timing is right for this partnership because there is a growing need from service providers in this space," says Perry Wu, senior vice president of Business and Strategy at Tata Communications. "The combined technologies put Tata Communications and Juniper Networks in pole position to enable the carrier CDN industry."
Juniper plans to use its Network Media Flow product line with BitGravity's service management layer technology to enable telecom and media providers to deliver online content more efficiently and providing more revenue streams, says the company.
With a private CDN, customers can have more control over content and their subscriber's experience- enabling more flexibility and customization, which can lead to new service offerings," says a Juniper spokesperson. "With Juniper's Media Flow Solution, customers can offer CDN service options directly to content publishers, differentiated by high quality service delivery. The Media Flow Solution also enables existing content such as video on demand libraries to be repurposed for delivery to additional screens such as mobile devices and PCs."
Historically, network infrastructure is the most expensive component in a mobile operator's overall CAPEX, which holds true in China, the biggest and fastest growing 4G market in the world.

just put in 1.2.2 - most the options don't appear any more at all on the menu and so lots of options inaccessible and going for the standalone config via the big friendly red button does nothing either
Been borked for me since he update 5 days ago, any thoughts anyone?

/chatter Chat Tabs
Enable Chat Tabs is checked. Hide Tabs is checked.
This will hide the chat tabs (well duh, thats what its suppose to do)!
But this setting is not being saved when relogging. The chat tabs come back, both Enable Chat Tabs and Hide Tabs are both checked upon logging in.
Unchecking Hide Tabs and rechecking it will make the tabs disappear again. Obviously a very small bug with this option not saving its settings between session.

to anyone having issues with the alignment of certain elements delete your saved variables and anything else related to the old versions of Chatter then reinstall the newest version found here. This solved every problem that has been mentioned so far with the exception of 2, Edit box history is not working (unless the up and down buttons are no longer the default keybinds) and I cannot mouse click a location in the edit box to place the cursor there if iI have moved the box to some place other than the top or bottom anchored positions.

I have updated to the latest version of Chatter (v1.2.1-6-g6ab1a77) and am still having an issue with my chat window resetting position upon reload/logout. I attempted the check+uncheck disable buttons strategy, but this did not work either. Perhaps I am doing something wrong here. It has gotten to the point where I reposition my chat window with a macro every time I load in (ie. /run ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT","UIParent","BOTTOMLEFT",0,3) and other SetHeight and SetWidth commands, etc). Maybe that has something to do with it.
Edit: This was exactly my problem. I had to reposition the chat window manually for it to start saving its position. It should be noted that once the position is saved you can go in to your character's chat-cache.txt to resize and reposition to your liking (especially if you're anal like I am and want window positioned exactly 3 pixels from the bottom of the screen).Last edited Jun 25, 2010 by Grimhoof

Not that it's a huge deal, but the chattab function doesn't save after logging.
i have mine hidden, box is still checked but they're there. uncheck and check they go away until you log in again. i'll file a bug with it tomorrow when i can think a bit more clearly and post all the full details with it

I edited the channelnames.lua file so it would format the bnet whispers to be in the same fashion as regular whispers added @ line 33
["BN Whisper From"] = "[BN:From]", ["BN Whisper To"] = "[BN:To]", ["away BN Whisper To"] = "<Away>[BN:To]", ["busy BN Whisper To"] = "<Busy>[BN:To]"
Added @ line 179
text = gsub(text, L["To (|HBNplayer.-|h):"], channels["BN Whisper To"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:")) text = gsub(text, L["To <Away>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"], channels["away BN Whisper To"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:")) text = gsub(text, L["To <Busy>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"], channels["busy BN Whisper To"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:")) text = gsub(text, L["(|HBNplayer.-|h) whispers:"], channels["BN Whisper From"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:"))
And added the localization to the enUS.lua file @ line 81
L["To (|HBNplayer.-|h):"] = true L["To <Away>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"] = true L["To <Busy>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"] = true L["(|HBNplayer.-|h) whispers:"] = true
Cal Jun 25, 2010 at 02:28 UTC - 0 likes
Default UI added "R" for Chat Whisper and "Shift+R" for Re-Whisper now.
I also don't get class coloring except for /who and Guild channels.
werkkrew Jun 25, 2010 at 02:05 UTC - 0 likes
I haven't been able to isolate my problems to chatter, or cellular, but my reply keybind "R" usually does not work.
Also, player names are working for guild chat, but no other channels are showing the colors.

When the Camera Goes Rogue
When South Florida-based veteran photographer Jonathan Scott pursues Facebook and comes across trite wedding photos or couples posing in uninspiring engagement photos, he cringes. To Scott, photography is an art form meant to tell a story, but Scott finds that photographers too often tarnish their works by misuse of a camera. To put a stop to bland photography, Scott will lead a three-hour workshop Saturday in which he encourages participants to arrive with unrestrained creativity and ready to conceptualize wild scenarios. The workshop will divide participants into groups of two or three people and provide each group with a style-ready model dressed as a persona like a homeless lady or a hot rock star. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the class will teach photogs how to capture the model's persona, melded with the location and lighting to seamlessly put together a story as seen in magazines. The class is open to all levels and costs $100 per person. South Florida Camera Club members can purchase a spot for $75. Bring a camera and a glass full of creative juices. Meet at Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, located at 300 SW Second Ave., Ste. 7, in Fort Lauderdale. Reserve by calling Rick by Friday at 954-557-4934, or visit PayPal via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Testing is one of my favorite parts of building a website. The in-depth, detail work involved in quality testing is something that I'm really drawn to and enjoy building tools for. When testing, content is an integral part of making sure that there are no visual bugs or ticks on the website – however, spinning up a lot of content takes time. A lot of time.
With this in mind I've built a tool to build content & be able to similarly remove it with the click of a button. It's simply called Test Content Suite and it's up for free on OTM's Github account.
The concept is simple – you choose how many posts to spin up (or keep it random), click the "Create" button, and the plugin will create those posts, assign them to appropriate taxonomies, pull in featured images, and even create metadata if available.
You can then delete the posts you created (and only those test posts – it won't go wild on you) by hitting the "Delete" button. Simplicity is the key here – I wanted to make the process easier and quicker and this does the trick.
The tool is currently intended as a development tool and is thus only available on Github for the time being. When it's built out to a place to be more applicable to a general audience I might push it onto the .org repo.
I hope you enjoy this small, free tool!
Imagine your dream, perfect, developer-focussed version of WordPress. What does it look like?
— Ryan McCue ⍨ (@rmccue) March 17, 2016
Ryan McCue pushed up a great monologue/question today on what would make WordPress more enjoyable to work with from a developer perspective. I've had several thoughts on this topic and figured the best way to share them is with a short blog post expanding on each of them.
Function naming has evolved over the last 10 or so years, but there's been no decided consistency which makes it particularly difficult to learn how to use which function when. I can use `get_the_title()` and `get_permalink()` out of the loop, but not `get_the_content()`? And on those functions, we have `get_the_title`, `get_the_content`, but not `get_the_permalink`? We expect people to memorize all these differences instead of fixing the core issue.
There needs to be a concerted effort to refactor a significant portion of the code in core. It's a disorganized mess and finding anything in core can take a lot of time. It's common for me to track down 4-5 files to find the source and code of a single set of functionality. This is a HUGE task and would take a year or more in an ideal world – the easiest way to approach it would be to rate the worst-offending files and address those on down the list. Eventually the code would be dramatically more logical.
This goes along with the point above but deserves its own section. WordPress is FULL of admin files that have functions mixed in with display code which makes it a damn sight impossible to break down the code and make intelligent
The REST API landing in core and getting fleshed out will be a huge boon to making WP more developer friendly. It breaks you out of the shackles of using the WordPress templating system, which can be very frustrating to learn the first few times through. When a JS dev can jump in and build a WP frontend quickly, WP won't be dreaded anymore.
I'm going to start writing sister posts to talks that I give to make it easier to reference the information. This post is attached to a talk I gave last year at the Fort Collins WordPress Meetup. You can find the presentation slides here.
Performance is a crucial piece of development and content marketing. Having a site that runs quickly and doesn't frustrate your visitors will make you money and increase conversions significantly.
On average, each 1-second delay in loading time means:
If you have a site that loads in 20 seconds, you're losing a huge amount of your traffic and potentially advertising dollars simply because your site is inconveniently slow. This means a loss of ROI on your site. On the flip side, your ROI increases dramatically from speeding your site up.
There are few concepts that are crucial to understanding front-end performance.
You have to load resources on a web page to display anything. Images, videos, CSS, JS all have to be externally loaded onto the page for a user to have a good experience. However, if we can decrease the size of each resource that we load, the user will have a much better experience.
On the same line, if we can reduce the number of requests, the user will see more faster. At the time of writing this, HTTP/1.1 is still the de-facto technology. HTTP/1.1 can only download so many objects at once, let's say 5 at a time. So, if you have 60 resources to download on a page the browser will download 5, and then the next 5, and then the next 5 and on and on until we're done. Each chunk takes a while and results in a slower site because it has to wait for the previous ones.
The site we're talking about today is Cheba Hut. This client came to us at Old Town Media wanting changes to their site but we quickly discovered that it needed a complete rebuild.
We rebuilt the site in WordPress and ended up with a significantly faster product.
Pingdom Tools gives you a great 10,000-foot overview of the issues on a site. You can quickly work down the waterfall chart and see what's taking the longest to load and get some basic stats on the the page you're testing.
Diving in a little deeper we have Google's Pagespeed Insights tool. Pagespeed tests and instead of giving you data about load time, it gives solid recommendations on how to fix any identified problems and even optimizes your resources and packages them up for you.
Webpage Speed Test is the powerhouse of all these tools. It takes quite a while to process, but gives more data and analysis than any of the others. You can run multiple tests at once from multiple locations and even run some powerful scripts such as a hosts re-direct.
The first step when optimizing a site is to get rid of every resource that you possibly can. Unneeded images, JS, and CSS are the the bane of an optimizer. By removing these unnecessary assets you can free up the waterfall for the important assets.
This case was no different, we were able to remove almost 2600 lines of HTML, 8 JavaScript files, and 5 CSS files.
The assets that we did have to keep, we re-wrote and refactored. The below JS snippet is a re-written version of almost 800 lines of code to control a single function. This brings down the load time and rendering time of the JS file significantly and kept the JS from blocking the rest of the assets.
Even more, you can defer or async the JavaScript that is loaded. Async loading allows the asset to load inline with the other resources – it essentially becomes the same as images and CSS in the waterfall. Defer defers the loading of the entire asset until the rest of the resources have been handled. This is a powerful tool when dealing with JS because you can completely delay the rendering delay.
There are several approaches to responsive CSS but the newest and most effective from a performance perspective is mobile-first. Mobile first involves taking the basic styles that apply to both mobile designs and desktop designs and and placing them in you base stylesheet and then adding features via min-width media queries. This is progressive enhancement.
The theory behind this is that tablets and desktops are usually on stable, Wifi Internet connections whereas your mobile views are most likely to be on 3G or 4G networks and would take longer to load. By placing smaller assets in your base stylesheet and only loading the larger versions on a desktop view, you save your user's bandwidth and loading time.
SVGs are code that represents paths and basic shapes. They can be used to replace large and unwieldy images in a site and prevent the loading of a huge image. In this case, I replaced a large and highly styled map of the US and franchise locations with a SVG version of the US – this saved me from having to use a 300mB PNG representation of the states.
mages are the largest type of resource that you'll likely be loading on your website. Therefore, paying attention to the size and type of images used is very important.
The first and most important thing to do when dealing with images is to compress them for web. Images coming straight out of Photoshop or God forbid Illustrator are very heavy and generally meant to retain their quality. Photoshop was built for photographers and is therefore unlikely to shed any quality unless you force it. Running all of your images through a compressor will remove unnecessary EXIF data, leftover layers, and leave a much smaller photo.
If you can avoid loafing images at page load entirely, that's even better. There are multiple ways to trigger an image to load, but the most popular is through lazy loading. JS plugins will watch the bottom of your screen as you scroll down the page and load an image onto the page only when you get within X pixels of the top of the image. This prevents it from loading at render time and keeps a smooth experience for the user.
We took a slightly different route and handled our sandwich selector on the site carefully. Previously, all ~40 images were loaded at page load time – one for each sandwich that Cheba Hut makes. Instead, we hid the sandwich from the page load and only loaded it when the user clicked on the sandwich, thereby expressing intent to view it.
Making sprites is the act of combining several small images and loading them in using CSS – thereby reducing the total number of resources loaded on the page. We used this to cut down on the number of images by 6.
Finally, choosing between a PNG and JPG image is vital to loading images wisely. PNGs and JPS each have their very specific purpose and choosing the right one can significantly reduce loading time:
PNGs should only be used when the image is extremely simple or has transparency in it. They should never be used for photographs or when there's a large amount of complexity.
JPGs are best when there's no transparency – background images, photographs, etc.
By using a JPG instead of a PNG for the map background on Cheba Hut, we dropped 50% of the file size on that single file – over 200kB!
WordPress hosts have the advantage f being able to optimize extremely well for a single application – WordPress and only WordPress. They're more expensive, but it pays off because they can finely tune their server setup and caching to provide a huge speed boost.
If you can't convince your client to go with an expensive WP host, use a caching plugin. This will compress and zip the files used on each page load and deliver them statically to each subsequent user.
Finally, CDNs are a life saver when it comes to performance. A CDN has servers all across the globe and the ability to distribute your cached site from whichever one is the closest to the user, shaving off microseconds or even whole seconds from the delivery of files to the browser.
