How can I be a good photographer?
You have to learn the basics and get some experience. The camera is a big part of it too. Just look at professional photos in magazines to get an idea and taste of what perfection is.
Photography is really an interesting profession i am also interested in this art. You share nice photos of birds i am also want to become a photographer and want to shoot the picture of beautiful birds and plants.
Learn to see light/shadow and shapes. That is the fundamental to become a photographer without even touching a camera
is there anyone with helpful post or link or or videos to suggest the best what the skill is all about and how to hon them for a snapping and shooting from a perfect angle.. efforts are most appreciated..
Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation. A lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure.Photography is an art and became a good and professional photographer you must take practice and understand the basics of camera and you become a good photographer.Best of luck.
First step: get a DSLR.Second, check some good video tutorials (there are lots of them on youtube)I liked a lot: www.photographycourses.biz/all_photography_videos.html
Try to train yourself the way a painter or draftsman does. Photography is both art and science -- a craft. Getting into photography lessons/seminars is great since you'll be taught by pros. But there are tutorials online you can get your education.
Take pictures on subjects you have strong feelings with. Your pictures will feel more special.
Photography is an art and i am also interested in this profession. Became a good photographer you must take practice and understanding the basics of cameras.
Yeah i wanna become a good photographer. I like to take good natural situation. Those one take natural live photos they become a good photographer.so you also take natural things. May be become a good photographer.
Here are some tips, i hope it will help you. click here
I'm not convinced by the above, as it starts with reading the manual for the camera. They're generally not well written, not very interesting, and if you know nothing about photography then a lot of it will just be confusing.
You need to learn about photography, not your camera. i.e. you need to understand concepts like sensitivity, aperture, focal length and shutter speed.
Then you can have a lot if fun with your DSLR, and you'll understand how it does the things it does. It'll be much more rewarding.
Hope that helps.
When you are starting with photography, I think I would avoid a DSLR but rather buy some bridge camera with RAW output like say the Canon SX50 or Nikon P520 or FujiFilm HS50EXR. Why a non DSLR cameras for starters? Mainly because when you are learning photography you do not understand that it needs multiple different lenses and which lens is for which task. Once you get the basic skills its easier to upgrade to a DSLR. For starters sometimes the cost of lens / equipment and the multiple lenses you need to carry etc might act as a deterrent and they may not pursue photography further. Hence, initially I would recommend a bridge camera and then upgrade once you feel comfortable handing various settings and tasks and get the basics of photography right.
^I think if you just had the kit lens you'd be fine - you don't need any more lenses than that.
Just the action of focusing using the lens barrel would make it worthwhile - so much more control than the toggle switch around the shutter button and much more intuitive.
But... you could add a cheap 50mm prime like the Canon one that's under £100. And again that would teach you a lot about photography. Shot framing without zoom, more extreme focal length effects with the wider aperture, etc, etc.

In Brief: Food safety booklet created for pregnant women
Women in B.C. now have a one-stop resource for information on food safety during pregnancy.
The B.C. Centre for Disease Control and Fraser Health Authority have released an 'Eat Safely, Eat Well' booklet online to help pregnant women prevent illnesses such as Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter and E.coli through safe food handling and safe food choices.
"We know that Listeria and other bacteria can cause food borne illness and major complications for pregnant women and their babies," Shendra Brisdon, environmental health officer with Fraser Health, said in a media release.
"This practical resource guide will support them in making informed choices about what they eat and provides recommendations on how to handle and prepare meals safely during their pregnancy."
To develop the educational materials, the BCCDC, Fraser Health, and University of B.C. researchers consulted with pregnant women and new mothers to assess their awareness and knowledge of food safety.
"This work highlighted that pregnant women want clear, accurate information about what foods to eat or avoid and safe food handling and preparation," the Provincial Health Services Authority said in the media release.
South Asian Health Institute launched by Fraser Health
Fraser Health has launched a South Asian Health Institute to better understand the health needs of the South Asian population.
South Asian people have a higher propensity to develop chronic diseases, and are four times more likely to experience coronary disease and diabetes due to a combination of hereditary and environmental factors, the Fraser Health Authority said in a media release on Feb. 15.
SAHI medical lead Dr. Arun Garg said the goal is to shift the focus from fixing health complications to preventing them.
"The cost of late interventions related to chronic diseases is significant for individuals, families and the province's health care system," Garg said.
More than 182,000 South Asian people live in the areas served by Fraser Health, the third largest South Asian population in Canada.
Fraser Health said the institute will build on current programs, services and partnerships aimed at improving the health and wellness of the South Asian community.

I thought how fortunate that we,
Live in this "Land of Liberty".
Where neighbors and friends from far and near,

The dollar has shrunk till it nearly can buy,
Even one tenth of the good old days,
America is still a land of praise!
Freedom of speech - Freedom from fear,
Though times may be tough, are still practiced here.

From her mountains high - to the depths of her sea,
AMERICA, truly, the land of the FREE!
And so we pray on this Holiday,
Blessed are we to give thanks for today!

Is It Time to Refinance Your Auto Loan?
Are you thinking about refinancing your auto loan? Perhaps you purchased a car a few years ago when interest rates were higher. Or maybe you recently financed your car through a dealership, but now you've found a much better interest rate through your bank or credit union. It's possible that your credit has improved since you took out your auto loan, and you believe you could qualify for a better interest rate. Whatever your reason, refinancing your auto loan at today's low interest rates could save you a significant amount of money, and it's generally easy to do.
Is refinancing worth it?
Refinancing your vehicle could potentially reduce your monthly payment, and save you money on your interest charges. For example, let's say that you purchased a car one year ago and your remaining loan balance is $25,000. Your current loan rate is 5.99% and your remaining loan term is 48 months. You decide to refinance your remaining balance and you qualify for a 2.99% loan rate. You'll reduce your monthly loan payment by approximately $34 per month (from $587 to $553), and save approximately $1,621 in interest charges over your remaining four-year loan term.
Of course, the lower the interest rate you can get, the more money you may be able to save. In general, getting the best interest rate will depend on the following factors:
- Your credit score. To get the best rate, you will probably need to have a top credit score.
- The age of your vehicle. Newer cars will generally qualify for lower rates. If your car is only a year or two old, you might even qualify for the same low rate that applies to new car purchases.
- The loan term. Generally, the shorter the term, the lower the rate.
What about refinancing costs? Refinancing costs for an auto loan are generally minimal--less than $100--because they're typically limited to title transfer fees or processing fees. But read your current loan documents--though it's not common, lenders occasionally charge prepayment penalties.
Because you pay more loan interest up front, you'll generally save more if you refinance toward the beginning of your loan, rather than toward the end. If you can afford it, one worthwhile strategy is to refinance into a shorter term than your existing loan term, because you'll save even more in interest charges. Alternatively, if your goal is to reduce your monthly payment as much as possible, you might refinance into a longer term. However, it may not be wise to extend the term of your loan, because even though your payment will be lower, you may end up paying a lot more in interest over the life of the loan.
Shop around for the best deal
Before you refinance your vehicle, do your homework by comparing interest rates and terms offered by various lenders, and find out if there's a minimum amount you must finance. Your first stop might be your current lender, who may be willing to refinance your vehicle at a lower interest rate to keep your business. While lenders will often refinance loans they already hold, special interest rates and conditions may apply. Another option is to apply for a loan at your current financial institution. You may receive a discount on the loan rate if you have direct deposit or a savings or checking account, or agree to pay your bill automatically or online.
Once you've selected a lender, you can often apply for a vehicle loan and complete the entire transaction online. To apply for a loan, you'll generally need the make, model, and year of your vehicle; the vehicle identification number; the current payoff and remaining term; and proof of insurance. And before signing any paperwork, make sure you read the loan contract and understand the terms of your new loan agreement.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas - The now infamous fading sign along Highway 59 north in New Caney still touts the mega-theme park that has never come. Local 2 Investigates has learned the proposed amusement park is the center of a federal criminal investigation into the government agency that used taxpayer money to fund its development dreams.
Last fall, Local 2 Investigates exposed how the East Montgomery County Improvement District (EMCID) spent more than $10 million tax dollars to help develop Earthquest Adventures.
Developers said Earthquest would be an environmentally-friendly, bigger and better version of Astroworld -- including rides, a water park and education. EMCID spent millions of dollars on everything from bonds to amusement park trips. EMCID also made large donations to a now defunct non-profit associated with the park and gave more than $500,000 in loans to other groups related to the park. Those loans will likely never be paid back, because the developer went bankrupt and the land for the park was sold.
Now, even more tax money is going to attorneys hired because of the federal criminal investigation.
"Anything related to that should be responded to by our attorneys," said Frank McCrady, chief executive officer of EMCID.
An attorney hired by EMCID said the U.S. Attorney's office in Houston served subpoenas to EMCID's elected officials and employees all regarding Earthquest. Employees of private companies involved with the project also say they've been interviewed by investigators. Neither the FBI nor the U.S. Attorney's office would confirm or deny any investigation.
"I had an interview with the people when that all first started," said Chris Brown, president of Contour Entertainment.
Brown was once the lead planner and designer of Earthquest Adventures. Now, he's the new developer in charge of the effort to build the amusement park in East Montgomery County.
"I'm obviously an optimist. I've been pushing this thing along despite all kinds of challenges and problems since we were originally asked to move it forward," Brown said.
During a recent EMCID board meeting, Brown said the Earthquest project is still alive because the financial markets have improved and he believes investors will line up to fund the $500 million idea.
The improvement district board voted to give Brown another six months to secure that funding and then buy the land to start the project over again.
"I'm very confident this is going to happen," Brown said. "That's why I keep spending money every month, like an idiot. hoping it's going to happen. If we only raise $150 million, we're going to do a project. We want to raise the whole $500 million. I believe we can."
"We have a developer who has a mission to accomplish," McCrady said after the meeting. "Certainly, we are very confident and are placing our faith and trust in the reports we're getting back from our consultants."
As of Friday, EMCID is not spending any new tax money on the project. The new developer is paying for all the costs associated with the pre-development. If the project breaks ground and gets final approval, Brown said his company would pay back around $8 million to EMCID.

One player we caution fantasy football owners about this year… CJ Anderson. Why? View this video.
Written Explanation: I feel that fantasy football owners should be careful where they draft Broncos RB CJ Anderson this fantasy football season. His ADP (Average Draft Position) is in the 1.09 to 2.01 range, so he now has first-round value, and to us, that seems a bit high, or at least a touch risky. Why? Well, considering players like Demaryius Thomas, Julio Jones, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Odell Beckham Jr and more are sitting at that draft slot range, we think that fantasy football owners would be much better off grabbing a safer player like one of the players just mentioned.
CJ Anderson is good, and that Denver offense could certainly produce a top 10RB this year, but it's not shocking when a running back comes out of nowhere one year, like CJ Anderson did last year in 2014, and busts that next year, or at least fails to meet expectations. Plus, Ronnie Hillman has looked fantastic so far this preseason, and there is talk that he could get more carries this fantasy football season than many expect. Will Hillman beat out CJ Anderson? No, we aren't saying that, and again, we are NOT suggesting that CJ Anderson will for sure bust in 2015. That said, the risk isn't quite built into his going Average Draft Position (ADP), therefore, fantasy owners are much, much better off snagging a secure top 5 fantasy WR at that 1.08-2.01 draft slot range, and there are plenty of them available!

How should I eat while pregnant? Is it three well balanced meals? Small portioned meals every 2-3 hours? Something different? I don't want to over-indulge and definitely don't want to not eat enough for baby. Let me know, thank you!
How should I eat while pregnant? Is it three well balanced meals? Small portioned meals every 2-3 hours? Something different? I don't want to over-indulge and definitely don't want to not eat enough for baby. Let me know, thank you!
Most pregnant women do better with around five small meals a day, as opposed to three large meals. The balance of food helps to regulate blood sugar and prevent morning sickness. Some experts believe this is the way that all people should eat in an ideal world.
As for getting down to what you should be eating, that depends on many factors. Women who were underweight before pregnancy may need a little more, those who are overweight may not need to eat or gain as much. A healthy weight gain for most women during pregnancy is around 11.5 Kg. It is generally recommended that a woman, pregnant with a single baby, and in average shape, consume around 300 extra calories per day. That could be accomplished with a few spoons of nut butter or a couple of glasses of whole milk.
The best thing I can recommend is that you drink plenty of water, stick to healthy foods, and avoid fillers and so-called empty calories like soda. As long as you are eating healthy foods, until satisfied, you should have nothing to worry about.
You may also find some of the articles in the What to Eat in Pregnancy section of this page helpful when making dietary decisions.
Thanks for the info!
What to eat and how much to eat in pregnancy are among the most common questions asked by pregnant women. The answer is essential the same as that for a women who isn't pregnant - a healthy, well balanced diet.
That said there are a few provisos - foods which are considered an acceptable part of a healthy diet in women who aren't pregnant but not safe for pregnant women. These include some fish, soft cheeses, offal, some prepackaged foods (like coleslaw) and those that have been kept warm (like the supermarket roast chicken). This page explains these restrictions in more detail: Safe Eating and Drinking Before and During Pregnancy
Many pregnant woman find eating 5 smaller meals rather than three main ones better, especially later in pregnancy when the baby in pressing on their stomach. That said small meals can also help to reduce morning sickness in early pregnancy and indigestion all the way through so not a bad practice overall!
One of the greatest myths about food and pregnancy is the idea of 'eating for two.' This can result in excess weight gain which can introduce risks into pregnancy and birth which didn't have to be there! As mom2many has stated, a pregnant woman only needs about an extra 1250 Kilojoules daily (around 300 calories in old money!).
Eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water, take gentle exercise each day and take a good quality pregnancy multi is my advice!
It's not about how much you eat but what kind of food you're having.Try not to eat much,make it 4-5 small meals a day and try to eat healthy.Drink a lot of water as well.
During the first 12 weeks or three months of pregnancy there is not an increased requirement for
energy intake.
• During the first three months a pregnant woman must be careful not to "eat for two" and in this way
gain too much weight.
• You should aim to not gain more than 1 to 2 kilograms in these first months.
• It is only from the fourth month onwards that a pregnant woman's nutritional needs increase.
It is very important to eat a variety of foods before conception and during pregnancy. Aim for at least 6
portions vegetables and fruits per day (1 portion is equivalent to one fruit or half a cup of cooked
Generally the second trimester requires an additional 1428 - 1512 kJ per day (normal BMI before
conception) and the third trimester an additional 1898 - 1982.4 kJ (normal BMI before conception) in
the form of:
• Unrefined carbohydrates, which includes whole wheat bread, breakfast cereal, potatoes, pasta
and fruit.
• You should also eat at least 3 portions of dairy products such as fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese.
• You can also eat 6 portions of meat or meat substitutes such as lean red meat, chicken, fish,
legumes and nuts.
Portion guide for meat and meat substitutes:
1 portion = 30 grams of meat (beef, chicken, pork or fish) OR 30 grams of cheese OR 1 egg OR 2 teaspoons of
peanut butter OR half a cup of cooked dry beans

I know it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature as those of us growing up in the '70s remember from the old Chiffon margarine commercials.
But come on, Mother Nature, it's not nice to have you fool with our spring sports season as you have been doing this year.
Our spring sports teams have been practicing for nearly five weeks now and have relatively nothing to show for it. Or least have the opportunity show what they're made of.
These athletes and coaches have put a lot of time in (I would say on the practice field, but I can't) and are anxious to play and see how they match up with their opponents on the playing field.
Talk about your cabin fever. Our teams have been cooped up indoors so long they don't remember what the chalk lines on the ball diamond look like or how the green grass is supposed to smell. They're going to need a GPS to help them find their way back to the fields, it's been so long.
We expect to lose ballgames during the spring because of the rainy spring weather (remember, we haven't had those kind of cancellations yet). But losing out on games because of recurring snow storms and cold temps is something we haven't banked on. We don't hear Al Gore talking about global warming these days, do we.
I know we were all spoiled when you blessed us with such nice weather a year ago (it was 75 degrees on March 26, 2012, according to the weather files kept here by BCR weatherman Lyle Ganther). And we probably didn't thank you nearly enough for that.
But we've lost 110 out of 112 scheduled games so far and that toll will likely to continue to climb throughout the week. There's only so many certain dates available for athletic directors to reschedule these lost games and that's not taking in consideration any future cancellations.
I've always been of the belief that the good Lord has brought rain when he saw the need to slow us busy people down when we get too engulfed in the games we play. I know I've given thanks over the years when the ol' sports editor has found himself coming and going to a myriad of non-stop games.
Now, it's time to let the games begin. The kids are ready to play and moms and dads are ready to watch. No more curve balls, Mother Nature. Let these kids play.
Happ-y days: Looks like J.A. Happ, the pride of St. Bede Academy, has sewn up the fifth starter's job for the Blue Jays after. He's been nothing short of spectacular in the Jays' camp in Dunedin, Fla. with a 1-1 record and 1.89 ERA in 19 innings pitched, but was ticketed for a bullpen or minor league assignment. His chief competition, Ricky Romero, however, was the one sent to Triple A Buffalo. Way to go J.A.
March Madness: How's your brackets going? I'm sure you, like me, never had Florida Gulf Coast University beat Georgetown.
My old pal Brent Kopp reports that they're dancing in the streets in Fort Myers, Fla., where Cinderella FGCU is making its amazing run to the NCAA Sweet 16.

Chancellor George Osborne has scrapped August's planned 3p rise in fuel duty and frozen the tax for the rest of the year.
The £500 million boost to motorists can be paid as a result of departmental savings across Whitehall, said the Treasury.
Announcing the measure to cheers from Tory benches in the Commons, Mr Osborne said fuel duty would now be 10p a litre lower than under the plans inherited from Labour.
"We are on the side of working families and businesses and this will fuel our recovery at this very difficult economic time for the world," he said.
Labour had urged Mr Osborne to scrap the rise, with shadow chancellor Ed Balls calling for the Government to use the £500 million underspend from the Olympics to fund the move.
But Treasury sources insisted Mr Osborne's announcement had been under consideration for some time.
The Chancellor told the Commons: "The one-off cost of this change will be fully paid for by the larger-than-forecast savings in departmental budgets."
He said it was a sign the Government was "doing everything we can in very, very difficult economic circumstances for the world".
Conservative MP Robert Halfon, who has led the Commons campaign for a fuel duty freeze, said: "Motorists across the country will welcome the cut in fuel tax announced for August. It will greatly improve the performance of the economy."
But Labour MP Jim Cunningham asked why Mr Osborne did not announce the freeze when other Budget U-turns were unveiled over the so-called pasty and charities taxes.

Hi there!
I've got a lot of tables displaying sizes, where the rows need sorting based on the size, e.g. X small row first, then small, medium, etc.
Not all tables have all the same sizes, and some sizes are formatted slightly differently, e.g 'X small' or 'XSmall' or 'XS'.
The table has no classes or IDs.
The size text is the first word in the first td, first tr after thead.
Here is the link: http://site-1111.myshopify.com/products/angel-diamante-dog-t-shirt
The other thing that's not too important, but I'd like to know if its possible to remove any text that starts with a certain string. Looking at the same link above, I would like to remove all the breed guidelines in the tables, so text that starts with 'breed guidelines'.
I'm very much a js and jquery rookie so any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thank you,
Hello everyone,
I know it's quite an unusual request, but I'd love to know if this is even possible and if someone could steer me in the right direction so I can get started on implementing this.
I really hope someone can help :)))
Thanks very much in advance!
The reason why you may not be getting much help with this is that changes to the content are normally better achieved from the backend that's serving the data instead.
To resolve your issue though, it seems that the most important piece of the puzzle is to come up with a function that accepts the sizing string, and returns an appropriate index number for how large it is.
So XS or XSmall or X small or x-small or x-s, or such variations would result in 0, large would be 4, and superdog 2 would be 8
I'll take a look at what can be done with that in a few hours.
Paul that sounds great!
Thanks for replying, let me know how you get on
Today ended up being busier than expected, but I'm back to things now.
Here's a basic start, where we attempt to use a regex to capture common parts from the size string.
function getSizeParts(size) {
var sizeRx = /(.*)(small|medium|large|super|s|m|l)(.*)/,
match = sizeRx.exec(size.toLowerCase()),
parts = {prefix: '', size: '', suffix: ''};
if (match) {
parts.prefix = match[1];
parts.size = match[2];
parts.suffix = match[3];
return parts;
function valueOfSize(size) {
var parts = getSizeParts(size),
size = 0;
// magic happens here
// ...
size = parts.size;
return size; // need to instead return numeric value of size
var sizesToTest = ['XS', 'XSmall', 'X small', 'x-small', 'x-s', 'medium', 'm', 'large', 'l', 'xl', 'xxl', 'super', 'superdog', 'super dog 1', 'superdog2'],
size, value;
for (i = 0; i < sizesToTest.length; i += 1) {
size = sizesToTest[i];
value = valueOfSize(size);
console.log('size: ', size, ', value: ', value);
Which mostly works, except for situations such as this:
size: X small, value: l
The reason why it's showing the wrong size is due to regular expressions being greedy by default. The first (.*) capture group grabs the whole string, but the next capture group then has nothing, so the regex removes one character from the first capture group and looks for a match from the second capture group, which it finds with the 'l' character from the end of the word "small".
That's not how we want the regex to work. Instead of the regex being greedy, we want the first capture group to be lazy instead. We can do that by adding a question mark after the asterisk, so that we instead end up with (.*?)
var sizeRx = /(.*?)(small|medium|large|super|s|m|l)(.*)/,
Now we end up getting the right size for each test.From here it's just a matter of turning the size in to a numeric number for ordering, and of dealing with special situations.
We can use a simple switch statement to provide different size values:
function valueOfSize(size) {
var parts = sizeParts(size),
size = -1;
switch (parts.size) {
case 'small':
// fall through
case 's':
size = 1;
case 'medium':
// fall through
case 'm':
size = 2;
case 'large':
// fall through
case 'l':
size = 3;
case 'super':
size = 6;
// leave size at default value
return size;
Now we just need the prefix to affect the small and large ones, and the suffix to affect the super ones.
Which is done with:
var parts = sizeParts(size),
prefixMatch = parts.prefix.match(/x/g),
numOfXs = prefixMatch && prefixMatch.length || 0,
suffixNumber = parseInt(parts.suffix.match(/\\d/), 10) || 0,
size = -1;
case 's':
size = 1 - Math.min(numOfXs, 1); // no more than one X for small
case 'l':
size = 3 + Math.min(numOfXs, 2); // no more than two X's for large
case 'super':
size = 6 + suffixNumber;
Which results in the following final code for working out the size of different sizing strings:
function sizeParts(size) {
var sizeRx = /(.*?)(small|medium|large|super|s|m|l)(.*)/,
match = sizeRx.exec(size.toLowerCase()),
parts = {
prefix: '',
size: '',
suffix: ''
if (match) {
parts.prefix = match[1];
parts.size = match[2];
parts.suffix = match[3];
return parts;
function valueOfSize(size) {
var parts = sizeParts(size),
prefixMatch = parts.prefix.match(/x/g),
numOfXs = prefixMatch && prefixMatch.length || 0,
suffixNumber = parseInt(parts.suffix.match(/\\d/), 10) || 0,
size = -1;
switch (parts.size) {
case 'small':
// fall through
case 's':
size = 1 - Math.min(numOfXs, 1); // no more than one X for small
case 'medium':
// fall through
case 'm':
size = 2;
case 'large':
// fall through
case 'l':
size = 3 + Math.min(numOfXs, 2); // no more than two X's for large
case 'super':
size = 6 + suffixNumber;
// leave size at default value
return size;
var sizesToTest = ['XS', 'XSmall', 'unknown', 'X small', 'x-small', 'x-s', 'small', 'medium', 'm', 'large', 'l', 'xl', 'xxl', 'super', 'superdog', 'super dog 1', 'superdog2'],
i, size, value;
for (i = 0; i < sizesToTest.length; i += 1) {
size = sizesToTest[i];
value = valueOfSize(size);
console.log('size: ', size, ', value: ', value);
The test code results in the following output:
size: XS , value: 0
size: XSmall , value: 0
size: unknown , value: -1
size: X small , value: 0
size: x-small , value: 0
size: x-s , value: 0
size: small , value: 1
size: medium , value: 2
size: m , value: 2
size: large , value: 3
size: l , value: 3
size: xl , value: 4
size: xxl , value: 5
size: super , value: 6
size: superdog , value: 6
size: super dog 1 , value: 7
size: superdog2 , value: 8
wow!! thanks so much paul, that's amazing
I'm trying my best to understand it, thanks for explaining as you go through so I can actually try to grasp an understanding too.
Am I right in saying that this code will get the sizes to equal numbers, but it won't actually reorder the table yet? Is there another step still to do..? Sorry for my (very) minimal understanding..
sorry - you did explain what the code would output.so would i then hide the original table.. and be able to add styling to the output html, or insert it into a new table..?thanks again
The original table can remain, for a simple way to reorder the table is to loop through those difference sizes in numerical order, from biggest to smallest, and move each row to the top of the table. That way as you work your way from the largest ones down to the smallest ones, the table ends up having the smallest ones placed on top of the larger ones below it.
So to achieve that, you would need to first gain a list of the different table rows, which can be most easily done by placing an id attribute on the table itself and using document.getElementsByTagName to get the rows.
After you have the rows, you need to get the first td value from each row, which can be done in a similar way.
So first, get the rows, then the sizes from those rows, then sort those rows based on the numeric value of the size from that row.
ok, the tables dont have IDs or classes though. can i get to the table another way like #container table?
That's nowhere near as effective. Is this not your page that you are using the scripting with?Without a useful identifier on the table, the script will become more brittle and vulnerable to breaking when other future changes occur to the page.
It is my website. I have recently set up a company as a dropshipper - so I have access to all of the product data from the company who fulfil the orders.I have copied across all of their sizing tables
Okay then, it shouldn't be a problem then for you to add a suitable identifier to the table then, such as:
<table id="sizings">
I can do but the issue is I've got over 300 size charts so I was hoping to add some code just to the template page, rather than go into each product's description and edit them individually
so although its not best practice, is it possible to use the container's id? how would this be written? and can i add / edit size names to your code, e.g. 'superdog' as well as 'super dog'.
then at least i can fix all the tables immediately, then go into each one individually later to fix them properly.
If you want to restrict the table element to be from within the div that has a class of "container main-content" then that gets trickier when you're needing the code to remain compatable with older web browsers.
var divs = document.getElementByTagName('div'),
for (i = 0; i < divs.length; i += 1) {
if (divs[i].className === 'container main-content') {
table = divs[i].getElementsByTagName('table')[0];
That is complex though, and only works if the class names don't change or get added to.
Instead of that, it is preferable to use the querySelector that most modern web browsers now support:
var table = document.querySelector('.container.main-content table');
You can still use querySelector in browsers that don't support that feature, such as IE7, but you will also want to use this queryselector polyfill to add that missing querySelector functionality to web browsers that need it.
Another alternative without an identifier, assuming that it's the first or only table on the web page, is to use getElementsByTagName to get the table itself:
var table = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0];
but be wary of using the above, for it's guaranteed to break if any table appears on the web page before the one that you're wanting to target.
With an identifier it would as simple as using the getElementById method:
var table = document.getElementById('sizings');
That's why using a consistent identifier allows you to very easily target the sizings table from the script.
You will see in the test code that I used before, that both of those situations result in the correct behaviour. It can handle superdog with and without spaces, and with a number suffix too.
paul you've been an incredible help!i feel like i owe you something!
the table is the only one on the page, so to ensure the code works in IE7 do you recommend using this
so if i just add all of the code from before, then ... aaagh sorry i feel like an idiot but can you just help me connect the two so i can get it all working. otherwise i know i would stay up all night trying to figure out the last bit (i know its as good as complete in your mind lol)
thanks again!!
There's a hell of a lot more that's to be done yet in terms of getting the rows, gathering up the sizes, working out what order they should be in, and actually ordering the rows of the table.If you don't know how to write code and want someone else to do the work for you instead, then my time that I volunteer here is too limited to allow me to do all of that work for you.
If on the other hand you can put together an attempt at solving those problems - when you have any technical issues with them we can help to educate you about such things.
as i said im a js newbie, especially as it gets more complicated.not asking anyone to do all the work for me... i'll give it the best shot i can
Actually, I should be able to take the time to go through this, due to the rest of it being made fairly simple by combining some built-in techniques.
Starting with the table content, we want to get the tbody rows and sort them.
var tbody = document.querySelector('.main-content tbody'),
rows = tbody.getElementsByTagName('tr');
sortRows(rows, compareSizes);
In fact, that can be made even simpler, by using querySelectorAll to get the rows themself.
var rows = document.querySelectorAll('.main-content tbody tr');
sortRows(rows, compareSizes);
There are a number of different ways to sort things but in this case, given that they are an HTML collection, the easiest way to sort them is to create an array from those HTML elements by using the Array's slice method to convert non-array items in to an array. That way the array sort method can be used to sort the rows in that array.
Then, we can then loop through the sorted array and move each row to the bottom. The sortRows function that results in the rows all being nicely sorted, is:
function sortRows(rows, compare) {
var rowsArr = Array.prototype.slice.call(rows, 0);
rowsArr.forEach(function (row) {
If you also need to support web browsers that don't know about the forEach array method, you can add support for that with the following code:
// Array.forEach polyfill, from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/forEach
if ( !Array.prototype.forEach ) {
Array.prototype.forEach = function(fn, scope) {
for(var i = 0, len = this.length; i < len; ++i) {
fn.call(scope, this[i], i, this);
The sort method that arrays have is what we'll use to sort the rows, so that compareSizes function that we give to the sort method accepts two items being compared, and returns either -1/0/+1 or false/true to indicate which one is larger than the other.
function compareSizes(a, b) {
var aSize = a.querySelector('td').innerHTML,
bSize = b.querySelector('td').innerHTML;
return valueOfSize(aSize) > valueOfSize(bSize);
And that's all that you should need.
Keeping things nice and easy, we can create a globally accessible function called tableSizes, which accepts a selector for where to get the rows to be sorted.It could be called as:
Or if you're feeling lazy, as just:
A nice way to create that is with:
window.tableSizes = (function () {
'use strict';
// functions and code in here
// ...
return {
sort: function (sourceSelector) {
var rows = document.querySelector(sourceSelector + ' tbody tr');
sortRows(rows, compareSizes);
Some example code for the above can be seen at http://jsfiddle.net/pmw57/yZrcr/
To help demonstrate things in action, I've added some code to randomize things too, to http://jsfiddle.net/pmw57/yZrcr/2/
hi paul - thanks so much for doing this, it all looks great once its come together
ive just copied and pasted the jsfiddle code onto a page that i can test it on, then make it match the IDs and classes on my page, and tweak anything, etc, but surprisingly even a straight copy / paste doesn't work.
ive checked there are no ID or class conflicts (just had to change the class 'main-content'), but not sure why its running on jsfiddle but not on my page. perhaps a jquery conflict i dont know.. really sorry i cant figure it out - i have been trying and ill keep looking. here is the link http://site-1111.myshopify.com/pages/new

The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents will meet to discuss how to provide better services to student veterans.
The UW System says it's seeing "significant increases" in the number of student veterans. Some have earned college credits during their military service, and they've gained leadership experience that could be valuable to future employers.
The regents plan to discuss Thursday how to serve those students better. That could include helping them understand the benefits to which they're entitled, and helping them readjust to a civilian environment.
The regents will also hear from experts who'll talk about so-called "skills gaps." That's when there's a disconnect between the skills that graduates learn and the skills that employers are seeking.
The entire meeting will be webcast on the UW System website.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Sherwin-Williams Co. said Thursday its fourth-quarter net income soared, helped by higher demand for paint and easy comparisons to a prior-year period weighed down by hefty income-tax related expenses.
The Cleveland-based company earned $117.2 million, or $1.12 per share, in the last three months of 2012, up from $14.6 million, or 14 cents per share, in the year-ago period. The 2011 quarter included 70 cents per share in income-tax related expenses related to an Internal Revenue Service settlement, along with 3 cents per share in asset impairment charges.
Excluding asset impairment charges of 2 cents per share, the company posted an adjusted profit of $1.14 per share for the recent quarter, which was a penny shy of the average estimate of analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue rose 7 percent to $2.22 billion from $2.07 billion a year ago and above average Wall Street estimates of $2.19 billion.
The company credited the revenue increase to higher paint sales volume at its paint stores group and increases in selling prices.
Overall sales at the paint stores group increased 10 percent to $1.25 billion, as the company's sales at stores open at least a year rose 10 percent. The metric is a key measure of a retailer's health, because it excludes sales at stores that recently opened or closed.
For the full year 2012, Sherwin-Williams earned $680.2 million, or $6.49 per share, up from $441.9 million, or $4.14 per share, in 2011. Revenue rose to $9.53 billion from $8.77 billion.
The company projected first-quarter earnings of $1.03 to $1.13 per share on a "low single-digit percentage" year-over-year sales increase. Analysts expect first-quarter earnings of $1.09 per share.
For the full year, the company said it expects earnings of between $7.45 and $7.55 per share on a " mid-single digit percentage" sales increase. Analysts expect $7.93 per share.
Sherwin-Williams shares slipped 63 cents to $161.68 in morning trading. They are still near the upper end of their 52-week range of $95.93 to $167.24.

Gainesville Ball plant remains open, expected to close in first quarter
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
Ball Corporation's beverage can lid plant in Gainesville remains open but should close by the end of the first quarter of the year, depending on customer demand, a spokesman says.
The Colorado-based beverage can company announced in August that it would close the Gainesville plant with 127 employees and another lid factory in Columbus, Ohio, with 110 employees, by the end of 2012.
Spokesman Scott McCarty said the Gainesville plant remains open to meet customer needs.
The plants make lids for standard 12-ounce cans, while Ball Corporation is shifting to more specialty cans, such as those of different sizes, with high-end graphics or with special ends such as wider openings, in response to industry demand.
Ball Corporation kept open other plants that make lids for standard-sized cans but is closing Gainesville's plant because it is located farthest from customers.
McCarty said the plant is not at full staff and that some employees are in the process of transferring to other Ball Corporation plants.
Audley Harris, of Coldwell Banker Commercial M.M. Parrish Realtors, is listing the property, which includes an 87,000-square-foot facility on 14 acres in the Northwest Industrial Park just north of the State Road 121-U.S. 441 intersection.
"It's a major attraction for the city of Gainesville to have a nice facility like that available, so we should get some interest from outside the city," he said.
Anheuser-Busch opened the plant as Metal Container Corp. in 1982 and sold it to Ball along with three other plants in 2009.

Trans woman murdered in Baltimore
Baltimore City Police announced July 16 that they are investigating the murder of trans woman Mia Henderson, sister of NBA player Reggie Bullock. Henderson, 26, is at least the second trans woman killed in Baltimore in as many months. According to a press release from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, her murder is "the latest in a string of Baltimore area homicides in the last two months in which transgender women have been killed."
Baltimore police Investigators said officers serving a warrant just before 6 a.m. in the 3400 block of Piedmont Avenue found Henderson's body in an alley. They said the victim had "suffered severe trauma."
Police said it was too early to tell if the case is related to a similar one a month ago in which another transgender woman was killed. The body of 40-year-old Ricky Hall, known as Kandy, was found stabbed on June 4 in a field near Coldstream Park Elementary-Middle School in northeast Baltimore, according to reports by WBALTV News 11.
USDA adopts trans protections
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has added gender identity protections to its federal nondiscrimination regulations regarding programs or activities conducted by the department. This makes USDA is the first federal agency to issue regulations banning gender identity discrimination in all activities conducted by any employee of the department, according to an NGLTF press release issued today.
"Fifteen years ago, the USDA paved the way on federal rights for LGBT people by becoming the first agency to add sexual orientation nondiscrimination protections. Yesterday, the USDA once again demonstrated their leadership and commitment to equality by extending nondiscrimination protections to transgender people in every program the department operates," NGLTF Executive Director Rea Carey said.
Report: Nearly two-thirds of Massachusetts trans people suffer discrimination
The Fenway Institute and Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition have released their Project VOICE report on transgender discrimination in public accommodations, which found that nearly two-thirds of trans residents of Massachusetts have experienced discrimination in a public accommodation setting in the last 12 years. Those experiencing discrimination were nearly twice as likely to report adverse physical and mental health outcomes, the report indicated.
The state's Gender Identity Nondiscrimination Act, passed in 2011 and implemented in 2012, does not cover public accommodations.
Other findings reported in the study include:
• Overall, 65 percent of respondents reported discrimination in one or more public accommodation settings in the past 12 months.
• The five most prevalent settings in which discrimination was experienced were transportation (36 percent), retail (28 percent), restaurants (26 percent), public gatherings (25 percent) and health care facilities/services (24 percent).
• Those reported incidences of discrimination had an 84 percent increased risk of adverse physical symptoms, such as headaches, upset stomach or pounding heart, in the last 30 days and 99 percent increased risk of emotional symptoms in the past 30 days.
• 28 percent of respondents reported they had not seen a doctor in the last year.
• 29 percent reported having to teach their health care provider about transgender health issues in the last year.
The Massachusetts Legislature is currently considering passage of the Equal Access Bill, which would improve access to public accommodations for trans people there.

European Court of Human Rights rules against trans woman in marriage case
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that the country of Finland did not violate the human rights of a trans woman by requiring that her marriage be downgraded to a registered partnership in order for her to be legally recognized as a woman.
Before gender reassignment surgery, Ms. Hamalainen had married a woman, and Finnish authorities argued that legally recognizing her gender as female without ending her marriage would result in a same-sex marriage, which is not allowed under Finnish law.
Evelyne Paradis, executive director of ILGA-Europe, said: "The Finnish authorities argued and the European Court agreed that Ms Hamalainen's family did not suffer disproportionately by their marriage being downgraded to a registered partnership as a registered partnership is almost identical to marriage in terms of rights and protections. Nevertheless, the court missed an important opportunity to condemn humiliating and discriminatory practices across Europe requiring trans people to end their existing marriage to obtain legal gender recognition."
Trans people must end existing marriages to partners of the same-gender as they are post-transition to obtain legal gender recognition in 32 of 49 European countries.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/10/2013 (1392 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Funny thing about pit stops, like the one the Winnipeg Jets have pulled in for following their quick tour of their new Central Division neighbourhood:
Sometimes when the ol' jalopy checks in and gets a quick once over from the pit crew all it takes is a little tinkering here and there to get the car purring for the next few laps. And on other occasions when the hood is popped open, some serious uh-ohs are discovered.
So which is it for the Jets, now 5-7-2 after a 1-2-1 road trip?
Good question.
Here's one man's take on what we just saw and what lies ahead when the Jets get their car back into the race on Saturday afternoon at home against the Chicago Blackhawks...
3 areas of concern
Nobody in the Jets' dressing room Tuesday night in St. Louis was doing cartwheels because Blake Wheeler ended an 0-for-26 slump by batting home a rebound past Jaroslav Halak during a two-man advantage. Here's why: yes, the drought ended, but the Jets also had three more opportunities after that and whiffed on each of them in a one-goal game.
The Jets experimented with Devin Setoguchi back on the point for some stretches of the PP -- a first for him since junior -- and undoubtedly will tinker with some other looks until this thing starts clicking more efficiently. Heading into Wednesday night's action the Jets had a power-play percentage of 11.1, tied with Buffalo for 26th overall. That just ain't good enough.
And, just FYI, an alarming number that provides some evidence as to what is wrong with the man advantage: Winnipeg won just two of seven face-offs (29 per cent) on the power-play against the Blues. One of the key components of a good PP is possession and you don't need to be Scotty Bowman to understand that losing 70 per cent of the draws is a nightmarish way to start the man advantage.
This is an aching-tooth-type problem that is causing some serious headaches. It's not just losing draws on the power-play, it's losing them in all situations all over the ice. The Jets' best face-off man, Jim Slater, has missed six games and the club misses his efficiency on the dot. Winnipeg ranks 29th overall in this department, having won only 44.1 per cent of their draws.
The Jets have 34 goals through 14 games but a good chunk of that offence -- 21 goals or 61.7 per cent -- has come from just four players: Bryan Little leads with seven, Evander Kane has six, Blake Wheeler five and Andrew Ladd three. As Setoguchi said after the crushing loss to the Blues, the Jets can't keep relying on the same three-four guys to score every night.
The four new forward additions this offseason -- Setoguchi, Michael Frolik, Mark Scheifele and Matt Halischuk -- have combined for five goals, all of them coming in the first two games. Setoguchi is goal-less in 11 games, Scheifele and Frolik in 13 while Halischuk is still searching for his first. Same goes for Dustin Byfuglien and foot soldiers Eric Tangradi and James Wright.
2 areas trending up
OK, so these guys were on the ice in the final minute when Alex Steen potted the winner after an ill-advised penalty by Toby Enstrom in the neutral zone. But they did limit the Blues, with the top-ranked power-play, to just the one goal on six chances.
Winnipeg has the 10th-ranked penalty kill unit in the league with an 83 per cent kill rate. If the power-play could even become mildly efficient -- say, middle of the pack -- the Jets' special teams could be difference makers.
Jets' fans have seen this movie before with Blake Wheeler -- he went the first nine games with just one goal and his trademark bursts wide past defencemen and to the net were rare. But the speedy right winger now has four goals in his last five games and got his game going again.
And for all those who find flaws in Bryan Little's game, it could be said he has been their most consistent player this season. The 25-year-old centre notched his seventh goal against the Blues -- matching last year's total -- has scored on the power-play and now has two shorthanded markers, tied for the NHL lead.
5 questions without answers
1. Is Zach Bogosian playing injured?
He's a tough-as-nails, minutes-eating rearguard with offensive upside but those skills haven't popped off the page through the first 14 games.
2. If Adam Lowry hadn't been banged up in the Jets' training camp, would he be with the big club now?
Sure, management is all about not rushing their prospects. But it's a big man's game in the Central Division and this squad must be tempted by his size and skill.
3. Should Al Montoya get more than just spot starts?
His numbers -- a 1-1 record, 1.52 goals-against average and .950 save percentage -- certainly say so. Ondrej Pavelec can serve up some highlight-of-the-night stops, but Montoya, based on the small sample size, is worthy of a longer look.
4. Does Mark Scheifele need a stint in the AHL?
Before you scream out 'Yes!' consider this: who replaces him at the No. 2/3 centre hole? And, for a kid who still seems to be finding his way in the NHL and battling confidence issues, does a stint on the farm help or hinder that? Discuss among yourselves. There will be a test.
5. Did Jacob Trouba not get his get-well soon card?
Interesting, isn't it, how much the Jets seem to miss the work of a 19-year-old rookie defenceman. He had been a 20-minutes plus, all-situations D-man when he slammed into the end boards against St. Louis earlier in the month and the Jets miss his shot on the second power-play unit, his poise on the penalty kill and the nasty element of his game that was just starting to emerge when he was injured.
- A number that should bother the heck out of the Jets and have management wondering if some element is missing from their roster: they are just 3-4-2 in one-goal games.
- Further to this, an observation from a respected hockey man I was talking to in St. Louis the other night: too often the Jets look like they are playing the third period to grab a point, not the win. Teams like St. Louis and Chicago expect to win, not hope to win.
- Wonder why so many across the NHL love playing in Winnipeg? The recent stops in Nashville, Dallas, Denver and St. Louis -- all decent hockey towns -- were played in front of a ton of empty seats. Granted, the Broncos were in action on Sunday when the Jets played the Avs and St. Louis is gripped by World Series fever this week. But the hockey crowds don't have the same zeal to lift up a team, whether it's the Jets or the visitors, the way an MTS Centre throng does.
- First impression of Patrick Roy this season -- that image of a crazed coach banging on the glass in the opener against Anaheim -- left a negative reaction to many. But if you listen to the man speak about his plans for the Avs, and see the buy-in from his young squad, it's hard not to be impressed.
- And, finally, in the spirit of Halloween, consider this absolutely frightening stretch of games for the Jets in their next six: two each against Chicago and Detroit, one with San Jose and another with Nashville. Those clubs were a combined 30-12-7 heading into Wednesday's action. Scary.

Topic: Bile Salts
Why haven't they told us more about Bile Salts?! They are awesome! I had a resection 17 months ago and have had ups and downs with my ability to digest many foods. I stumbled upon bile salts when I was googling about pain and gall bladder removal . I ordered some and they are great. I take 4 before I eat and I can actually feel a difference take place. I would say try them if you have trouble with digestion after a resection , and research if they could be used without a resection to help release the bile. My doctor said they don't prescribe them but I could try them if I wanted. I'm glad I did!!

T-Moldings provide an attractive solution for blending floor surfaces in adjoining rooms.

Reviewed by 3 customers
Easy to cut with hack or electric saw
Best Uses
Placed the flooring in family room and dining room. Has brightened up the spaces and is so easy to clean. I LOVE my new laminate flooring and would recommend it to anyone.
Contractor installed it, so I can't comment on ease, but he doesn't seem to have any problem with it. The lighter color brightens up the room (condominium so space is limited), and you can hardly tell it's not real bamboo. Only qualm is about 1/20 pieces had chips on it, good thing I bought a lot extra (550 sqft for 450 ft space). Since it was on clearance and low-stock, I didn't want to risk not having enough. Also, contractor said cutting each piece individually made it hard to get the line straight (see picture) so we'll have to use T-molding even though we were hoping to not have to.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Hey! Why can't anyone get me a bucket of water?"
"You're one to talk, Alexander!"
"Shut up, bitch! You're on fire, too!"
"Tell the Bitch part to that drummer dude, Pierre."
Alexisonfire is a Post-hardcore/punk/disco-emo-prog/hard rock/harder rock band from Ontario, Canada, a place that is known for its burgeoning Post-hardcore/punk/disco-emo-prog/hard rock/harder rock scene. The band was formed after the breakup of three bands know as superunknown, super-duperunkown, and Shit even an indie kid form Silver Lake wouldn't know this band. Five dudes from the three different bands met in a basement in Toronto over hot pockets and red bull, and the amalgamation of insane sounds that was produced from the High-energy fizzy drinks led to a sound that can only be described as "Two Catholic School Girls getting spanked and then made to run a gauntlet of cock", which was the image transplanted on their eponymous first album cover.
edit first album
The lineup for the first album consisted Hardcore screamer and dude who breaks shit onstage Robert Toadstool, Punk SInger/Guitarist Jimy Plantain, Melodic Singer/Guitarist Azamat Bagatov, backup singer and bassist John Paul Pope, and drummer Pierre LeHomme. As you can already see, every one of these dudes sang except for the drummer, but he was French-Canadian and therefore, a bitch.
The first album received mixed reviews, with the Toronto Herlad proclaiming "Nobody can scream/ sing softly/ sing hardly/ mash together melodic rock and hardcore punk in such an insane, ball-busting manner", while the Ottowa Scribe said, "WTF? This shit is too crazy". One magazine dared to have the unmitigated gall to compare them to Senses Fail for their scream/sing style, but this comparison was uncalled for, as Senses Fail lack testicles and sound like dying moose, while Alexisonfire's testicles hang to the floor. For this libel, Plantain tore the guilty reporter into four pieces and scattered them across Canada.
edit "Rapist Party" and the departure of LeHomme
For their second album, Rapist Party, the band fired drummer Pierre LeHomme, publicly stating he was distanced from the band, but his was mainly because he was a filthy Québecois pig. Toadstool later said they "did it for the lulz". The new drummer Kurt Novosegrohl, was an adept singer as well, and finally the band could have an album where every single dude sang.
The album got positive reviews all around mainly for the fact that they could all fucking sing... It blew peoples' minds. The band is currently on tour in Zimbabwe and will go back into the studio in at least 100 years.
