(CNN)-A couple from Georgia did not let the thousands of miles separating them keep them from getting married. They used Skype to bridge the gap and tie the knot.
Jacqueline Durham spent her wedding day like most brides. From her bedazzled bride
outfit, she got ready with her bridesmaids and took plenty of
"Say cheeeesee."
And something not on a typical bride to be list, check her Internet connection.
Jacqueline would marry her Fort Gordon Soldier while he is still stationed overseas in Afghanistan-
through skype! "He told me about it. And he's like what do you
think about that? Do you want to do that? And I was like, of course.
Since we can't be together, it'd make it special"
After two years of dating Trey, Jacqueline told me she couldn't wait any longer.
is a really good person. Everyone likes him. He's funny. He's easy
going. He's very laid back. It takes a lot to make him mad."
So Sunday afternoon, Trey and his Army family lined up in Afghanistan.
"Whole room, a big TV. This is awesome."
While Jacqueline and her family shared the moment from her Hephzibah home.
"My love for you cannot be measured. You have filled a void in my life that I never knew was missing."
"I promise to keep a strong family and keep you guys happy and love you forever."
The newly pronounced Mr. And Mrs. Durham only had only thing left to do.
"Hey Trey, you going to give me a kiss? Muah!"

Nike Air Trainer SC – White – Grey – Beet – Sample Available on eBay
October 15th, 2009 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
We might not see quite as many Trainer retros from Nike once their sweeping Bo Jackson-themed releases finish up, but this colourway has us hoping it returns to the regular rotation. This Nike Air Trainer SC is scheduled for a November release, but the timeless colourway and perfect balancing of white/grey/black and nylon reinforcements on the side panels that give the beet red hits a tonal look. If a month is too long for you, cop a sample in US mens size 9 from verbdws on eBay.

This lucky boy submits himself to a blonde, busty Strapon Mistress at an early age.
What a dream come true for this young, inexperienced and naughty boy. He is taught to be submissive for gorgeous, busty blondes at an early age.
Had he not received this strapon humiliation, he might have grown up to be a lowly, booby-staring misfit that makes women feel so uncomfortable with his sheer presence, that they simply run away in disgust.
This fellow obviously does not want women loathing him, so he makes the only wise decision he can… and that is to submit himself to this busty Strapon Mistress so he may receive his strapon humiliation.
This guy will grow up to be a submissive, obedient strapon slave. It's the kind of training all of us should have had.
What agony it must be to have to suck a strapon and be so close to such nice, plump and luscious breasts. I'm sure he's going crazy right now… as he wants to touch her breasts but he can't. He has to obey his Mistress and if he doesn't show total obedience, she will simply walk out on him.
Then what will become of him?
She takes total control of him, as she puts him on his side and grabs his ankles. Then she spreads his legs wide and inserts her strapon cock inside of his bumhole. She fucks his ass and with every thrust, the Mistress becomes more powerful at the expense of her young and naive boy toy. It's painful for this slave to have to give up his ego, but it will be worth it.
Deep down inside, he knows this is part of his growing up. He will feel so much better once she has gotten a strong foothold in his mind. His own will shall be shattered. The only will that remains, will be the one of his Strapon Mistress.

CFO Sean Whilden: Keeping Houston Healthcare Competitive
December 2011, and the two-hospital system is continuing its strong financial performance within Georgia's Houston County.
Moody's Investors Service recently affirmed Houston Healthcare's A2 long-term bond rating on nearly $72 million of debt, confirming that the system is positioned for strong financial results.
Moody's analysts said Mr. Whilden and the Houston Healthcare executive team are the sole acute-care providers in Houston County — 237-bed Houston Medical Center in Warner Robins and 45-bed Perry (Ga.) Hospital — and their strong market position has led to consistent growth in cash and investments. "Furthermore, with its relatively new senior management team, [Houston Healthcare] is developing strategies to enhance physician relationships, continue its historical strong volume growth and prepare for health reform," Moody's said.
Before joining Houston Healthcare, Mr. Whilden was the system controller at DeKalb Medical in Decatur, Ga. He also served as CFO of DeKalb Medical Hillandale in Lithonia, Ga., which is part of the DeKalb Medical health system.

It's satisfying work - and sometimes those skills come in handy at home when Phoebe deals with her agoraphobic mother, still traumatized by the break-in after all these years, and her precocious seven-year-old daughter, Carly.
It's exactly that heady combination of steely courage and sensitivity that first attracts Duncan Swift to Phoebe. After watching her talk one of his employees off a roof ledge, he is committed to keeping this intriguing, take-charge woman in his life. Phoebe's used to working solo, but she's finding that no amount of negotiation can keep Duncan at arm's length.
When she's grabbed by a man who throws a hood over her head and brutally assaults her - in her own precinct house - Phoebe can't help being deeply shaken. And when threatening messages appear on her doorstep, she's not just alarmed but frustrated. How do you go face-to-face with an opponent who refuses to look you in the eye?
Now, with Duncan backing her up every step of the way, she must establish contact with the faceless tormentor who is determined to make her a hostage to fear - before she becomes the final showdown.

"A courageous protagonist, deft plotting and the sultry Savannah backdrop all add up to another winner for consummate storyteller Roberts." (Publishers Weekly)
"High Noon will enthrall readers with its irresistible combination of superbly crafted characters and a danger-rich plot." (Booklist)
"Couldn't get enough!!!"
An absolute MASTERPIECE!! I was extremely said to hear it come to an end!! You had your drama, suspense, comedy, and romance all rolled up into one! Download it TODAY!!
"Wow Great!"
This was fantastic all around! Great recording, great narrator, great story! Suspense , romance, funny, conflict, mystery! My first NOra Roberts book! Great choice!
"great read"
I found the characters and story line exciting. They were believable,romantic fun and I learned about negotiations with hostage situations. I would recommend this to everyone who enjoys Nora Roberts. I also thought the narrator did a great job.
Ms Readsalot
"Excellent narration and story - worth the credit"
This is a great story, and read by an excellent narrator. I am actually writing this review after listening to the book a 2nd time. I had liked it the first time, but after being so fully engrossed the second I had to log in and give the book it's due praise. The narrator does a wonderful job with the voices, and there is a wild cast of characters that she gets to play with. A great love story but not to be out done by the mystery and suspense of the book. A strong woman character that you can believe in, like and root for. Truly a thumbs up in every way.
"A stunning "read""
and then it was finished!
The characters are "real" they have lives and history.
I just couldn't stop listening and then it was gone and in true Nora Roberts style I missed the 2nd book.
Thank you, well done it was GREAT!
"High Noon"
Great story as you would expect from Nora Roberts, I found the narration merged with the characters so you were often not sure who was talking.I found that a bit disappointing.
"High Noon Review"
It has been sometime since I was a reader of this type book. I enjoyed it from start to finish. The reader was articulate and made the characters come to life. Nora Roberts outdid herself again and I look forward to similar downloads.
Books books books
"Yes yes yes"
I have 4x already
Love Susan love NR and I loved this book I had a movies reel playing out in my head the whole entire time. A must read
"Wonderful Storyline"
I really enjoyed this book. The subject matter was interesting. I kept guessing at who the villian might be up until it was revealed. Recommend this book. Narrator did a good job. She really did excellent with the little girls voice--sounded just like a 7 yr old should.
Retired former magazine editor who is working harder than ever as Mr. Dad to his 11-year-old daughter.
"Too much romance"
This is the first book I've listened to by Nora Roberts and my guess is that she appeals mostly to female readers. Seems like every time the action was building to a crescendo, Duncan and Phoebe had to take a 20-minute break to play kissey-face. Duncan's character was largely unrealistic but I guess you're allowed to have it this way with fiction. I liked Phoebe, although her character seemed to run the gamut from extremely strong to rather weak. The narration was poor as I often had a hard time distinguishing who was speaking based on the narrator's inflection. She has limited range. I gave this book three stars because the non-romantic action scenes were pretty riveting. Call me a "guy."
"Fast paced murder story with romance"
The story was very good, it kept me guessing throughout, Susan Ericksen read it very well and it was very easy to listen to.
The detail that went into everything from the job to the houses.
I thought Ma Bee was played very well and she was a favourite of mine
Yes I definitely wanted to stay and listen to this one till the end, I kept listening whilst ironing and cooking so that I could finish it.
amazing story and kept guessing until the end. Narrator one of the best for voices yet.
You could feel the suspense throughout the book. Tender scenes and action packed into one heck of a story

Traceability And Certification In Meat Supply Chains
AbstractFood safety problems such as the BSE and dioxin crises focused attention on traceability systems and the certification of such systems. This study analyzes the status and perspectives of traceability systems and certification schemes, and reviews their potential costs and benefits. Results indicate that traceability and certification in meat supply chains comprise a very dynamic area with an increasing impact. Necessary transparency, control of livestock epidemics, increasing due diligence, and a declining role for governments are critical factors. Findings also reveal there is a general focus on the technical characteristics of traceability and certification, and there is a lack of economic considerations. Therefore, specific topics are emphasized for an economic research agenda, such as an analysis of the break-even point for the level of detail of traceability systems, the reconsideration of liability and recall insurance schemes, and regulatory incentives to motivate adoption by free-riders.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gina72 Great Staff The staff at this location is great! From Phillip at check to Carrie at the bar to Blake on the 10th floor. Very customer service oriented and consistent. February 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CMIT2012 Sheraton DTC treated us great We had a multi-day business meeting at the beginning of February. From the Sales Manager taking great care of our needs to the server and the club lounge staff, everything went great. Food was really good too. February 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by 44redhawk Bartender The Bartender on duty at the time of our stay. Belive her name is "KerrI" was great. She knew her drinks, was very helpfull in providing direction around town. December 14, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by MarkHouston Comfortable place to stay Stayed here for two nights and found it to be a comfortable and friendly place to stay. The room was nice, bed was nice, and every one fo the staff that I came into contact with was very helpful and friendly to me. This made it a nice place to stay. I found the hotel restaurant to have great service and food, but empty of customers. There must be competing restaurants around but I didn't feel a need to search since I was satisfied with the hotel restaurant. July 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bart Rooms need improvement-Staff is excellent Rooms need improvement... -Pee stains on roll out sofa bed -No linens for roll out sofa -Main bed is too close to restroom -Popcorn ceilings - Lights were not synced with any switches -Cracked glass table -No mini fridge in suite???\ - Poor wifi signal The Staff is excellent and it starts with Blake and Emily. July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mark20122012 Great room, food and drink Don't miss meeting Todd in the bar/restaurant. He's the most personable, responsive and professional server I've met on the road in a very long time! The bar had a great beer selection, everyone in my group found something to their liking on the dinner menu, our rooms were large, well-appointed, comfortable, the right temperature, and spotless clean. I will definitely be back! July 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DanK518 429 - Sheraton Hi-Tech They were unable to get me into club level which was a non-issue. But as soon as I stepped into my room, it had the stale odor of old cigarettes. July 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DKD13 This Hotel Did not Meet My expectations To begin the front desk wrote the wrong room number on the key card holder. When I went back and they checked it and realized they made a mistake they still had the audacity to ask would they like have them accompany me to my room as if I didn't know how to use the key, if they had not made the mistake the key card would have worked. The bathrooms are the size of a postage stamp (others guest had the same comment) and it was not clean shampoo spill on shower liner from previous guest remained . On a positive note the rooms are appointed nicely. My stay was related to a wedding party otherwise I would not have stayed on. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MelStew Good hotel Great front desk staff. The club lounge is a wonderful feature. Very clean. July 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by scks Needs more housekeeping staff The hotel is clean, the room is comfortable. They need more housekeeping staff. Three out of four days no bath towels as they "ran out" and had to call the front desk later in the day for them. Have to ask for your room to be made up early, otherwise it's not done until after 2:00. July 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JS11 Unsatisfactory stay I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The room i stayed in the first night was unsatisfactory. The aircondition seemed very dated and would not work very well and made lot of noise . The bed / matteress was no where near the quality of other Sheratons i have stayed in. I requested for a room change and an upgrade to the Club level but could only get a room change for the second night. It seems that the regulars staying at this hotel know that the rooms at the Club level are far superior than the rest. i am certaintly not staying at this hotel in my future travels to Denver. The location was convenient to my office. May 3, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ardito Experience The bar staff and food was very good. The maid service was awful. My coffee was never replenished, had to beg for towels and shuttle service was unsatisfactory. Many times I was given wrong information at main desk. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diddie GREAT NIGHT!! We were just staying for one night for a conference, but the second we walked in the door we were met with smiling faces and a willingness to please. The desk made arrangements for my wife to get to the convention 4 miles away so I would not have to get up, and were very helpful in directions to where we were meeting for dinner. The afternoon club experience was tasty and the lady there was very attentive. We had breakfast together at the club and it was very tasty and the view was really nice. Our entire stay was relaxing and the staff was genuinely happy the whole time. Kudos to the Sheraton and Starwood. May 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by dll65 Location The hotel was in a good location for us to be able to experience the mountains and get away, as well as enjoy some of the local night life. Access after 11 is not very accommodating if you have to park in the back of the lot, which most people have to do because of parking lot. Back doors lock and you have to walk around to the front. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mikaela0325 Softball Tournament The hotel was clean and the beds were comfortable. July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dnovak45 Great Food after 9pm in Bar We were in town for an event and we were greeted well upon arrival. Our room was not ready but they kept our luggage and upgraded our room. We came back after 9 and was able to order food in the bar which was very good! Great Service! The food in the club level was stale and old, not the best service and the espresso machine was down. Needed to be cleaned we were told. June 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Don8 Mixed experience The Front desk staff were wonderful and very helpful. The room was nice, but bath was awfully small. The only complaint is the food service and lack of staff. We were part of a conference, pre-ordered some meals and even though we are eating at 1 pm after what should have been the noon rush, they had trouble coming up with silverware, napkins and food slow to come out. The kitchen really seemed stretched. On a plus note, really appreciated the shuttle service to area restaurants and being able to read the Wall Street Journal in the AM - thanks so much. May 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by welltraveled50 Platnium Status Ignored I stay here often and I am always disappointed in the front desk at check in. They never offer upgrades to me as a Platnium member, I always have to beg for them. When checking in, I requested an Atrium Room which is the best the hotel has to offer. I was told there was none available. The first room they gave us was next to the elevator, the second on the freeway side of the hotel. My husband noticed an Atrium room being cleaned and went back to the front desk to inquire about this room. It was availabe, so why did they not offer it to us in the first place. Really disappointing as we typically are offered the best available room without asking. The hotel also failed to give us our requested wake up call at 8:15 AM. So glad I set my I Phone as a back up! May 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oldman55 Outstanding! I'm not aware of who does the hiring and the training for the Sheraton at Denver Tech Ctr. but whoever they are they should be commended along with the outstanding members of the staff. We were recently at this location after receiving medical treatment in Denver and I must say.. we stay at a lot of Sheratons - worldwide, and this was the best example of customer service we've ever experienced. It's like our every need was anticipated. Special thanks to Todd in the lounge, our housekeeper, the gentleman at the links cafe, the waitress in the restaurant, the chef who made an excellant Roasted chicken dinner and the staff at the desk. You all couldn't have done more to make our stay as comfortable as possible. March 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mack42 Great staff and wonderful mattresses Emily at the front desk, was incredibly friendly and even drove me to the local grocery store for food. Delightful personality. The mattresses were so fabulous, I didn't want to get out of bed! Very snuggly and supremely comfortable. Room service staff were also very courteous and professional, with genuine, natural cheerfulness. I believe the young man's name was Michael, who assisted me. Very much a gentleman. Thank you June 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jamice Many things about this hotel were very pleasing The Desk staff was helpful and remembered people. The meetings rooms were very well kept and the Food and Drink Service was truly excellent. June 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hello2U great staff I had an ok stay at this hotel. Staff were terrific, really really great. Rooms were just ok. No refrigerators. No opening windows. The noise from the highway never stopped. Music was piped into places I'd have preferred quiet, like the pool. The keycard worked every time on my door, unlike some hotels I've stayed in. The conference room was way too cold, I wore my jacket most of the weekend. June 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by anupmd Poor organization When I checked in, the suite I had reserved was not available, I was provided with a room on the second floor instead which was significantly lower in cost than what I had reserved. In addition the room I was provided do not meet my needs had something "floating" in the toilet, and as a platinum guess they did not even have any complementary water in the Room. I returned to the front desk and told them that room was unacceptable, I was given a different room which I would not accept. I waited for four and a half hours to receive the room that I had booked. March 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jwdphoenix Hot Water Issues 2/ out of the 3 mornings I stayed there it took me over 20 minutest to take a 5-minute shower. For some reason the water was either scalding hot or freezing cold but there was no setting in between. Not sure the cause but when I left my room one morning I heard, over the maintenance guy's radio, that someone else was having trouble with no hot water. I've stayed at this property at least a half-dozen times and it's usually a good stay but the hot water issue is a real concern. Other than that, the staff is always friendly and the room's are clean. March 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WO3930 Amazing Customer Service From the moment you book an online reservation you get a follow-up email from the general manager reviewing the dates of your upcoming stay and he inquires if you have any special requests they could tend to while your staying at the hotel. Front desk ladies have welcoming smiles and greet you with your Star Wood Status, which is very impressive. Staff that tends the club level hors' d'oeuvres are very friendly and makes sure there is a variety of water, tea, coffee and soda available at all times and the food stays fresh. April 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jets Less than expected For a suite on the club level we expected a bit more. Like bath robes and a hotel directory of its services. We did not know the hours of the Fitness Center, without calling the front desk. The guide on either TV did not work and when we phoned the front desk to find out what channel ESPN was on we were told the wrong channel. We found ESPN by surfing through all the channels. As others mentioned the bathroom was tiny, smaller than the one in our RV!! We were also expecting a king bed and only had a queen. Not what you would expect for a suite on club level. November 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by debbie18 Love this hotel! I have stayed at many hotels, and this one is at the top of the list as far as everything you expect in a great hotel! The room was beautiful and clean. The Club Room was a pleasant treat at the end of my day. The staff was professional and very friendly and courteous, and the lobby was beautiful. Loved the Starbucks coffee in the room, and the location is great especially if you plan on going to seeing the Broncos play. Room service was prompt and the pizza I ordered was delicious. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone whether for business or pleasure. October 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DoMo Met my expectations I have stayed in most of the hotels in the Denver Tech Center. This one was fine. personell was great! Room was clean. Bar, nothing much, little activity (which is fine!) The breakfast to go is a nice feature,especially with the Starbucks option.Room Service which used once was good, not great, but met my expectatoins. Menu options are the basics, nothing special- have to say I ordered cheesecake for desert, it was a small a portion as could possibly be sliced. The sandwich I ordered was good, fries not so good. Salad was also tiny, but again good enough March 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by WeeklyTraveler Not the best Deficiencies make you wonder just how well run this hotel really is. Out of some food items in club lounge during breakfast. Had reserved and received confirmation for a suite upgrade, but room was given away before we arrived. Room we were given instead had light bulbs out and non-working air conditioner. Outdoor pool needed to be cleaned badly. Even the club level room we were given was small with small bathroom. One positive -- the front desk stepped up and offered 7,500 points (2.5 x the points for a free night at this hotel) for the bad experience. July 4, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by dan843626 my worst stay so far I have stayed at this hotel for the past 6 months, and I'm a plantinum guest. Each week, I have to reiterate my preferences for a room away from the elevators/ice machine. In spite of this, there seems to be no communication mechanism with the management to ensure that a frequent guest most basic request is met. This regularly causes me to be moved to lower floors because the change must be made at check-in. I have never had such a hard time getting a basic request met. If this is how the chain is operated, it won't take much longer to lose my loyalty. August 5, 2012

Six and a half years later.
Al Shaldomir.
A room in the palace.
Miralda reclines on a heap of cushions,
John beside her.
Bazzalol and Thoothoobaba fan them.
Omar [declaiming to a zither]
Al Shaldomir, Al Shaldomir,
The nightingales that guard thy ways
Cease not to give thee, after God
And after Paradise, all praise.
Thou art the theme of all their lays.
Al Shaldomir, Al Shaldomir. . . .
Go now, Omar.
O lady, I depart.
Miralda [languidly]
John, John. I wish you'd marry me.
Miralda, you're thinking of those old customs again that we left behind us seven years ago. What's the good of it?
I had a fancy that I wished you would.
What's the good of it? You know you are my beloved. There are none of those clergymen within hundreds of miles. What's the good of it?
We could find one, John.
O, yes, I suppose we could, but . . .
Why won't you?
I told you why.
O, yes, that instinct that you must not marry. That's not your reason, John.
Yes, it is.
It's a silly reason. It's a crazy reason. It's no reason at all. There's some other reason.
No, there isn't. But I feel that in my bones. I don't know why. You know that I love none else but you. Besides, we're never going back, and it doesn't matter. This isn't Blackheath.
So I must live as your slave.
No, no, Miralda. My dear, you are not my slave. Did not the singer compare our love to the desire of the nightingale for the evening star? All know that you are my queen.
They do not know at home.
Home? Home? How could they know? What have we in common with home? Rows and rows of little houses; and if they hear a nightingale there they write to the papers. And—and if they saw this they'd think they were drunk. Miralda, don't be absurd. What has set you thinking of home?

Your Postpartum Body
What's happening the first six weeks after the last nine months
Post-Pregnancy Weight
So just how much lighter will you be leaving the hospital? "It varies from patient to patient," says Dr. Bruce Shephard, a clinical associate professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of South Florida, College of Medicine and an OB-GYN in private practice in Tampa. He continues, "But as a general rule, less than you expect, less than you would like." You shed about 10 to 15 pounds while giving birth. Whatever came out of your uterus during delivery—the baby, the placenta, and the amniotic fluid—is what constitutes your initial weight loss. However, the fluids put into your body during labor (like IV fluids) may damper that effect at first. Don't be discouraged.
Dr. Shephard says that by six weeks postpartum, about two-thirds of your total pregnancy weight gain will probably be gone. "More than 90 percent [of patients] are not back to their pre-pregnancy weight by six weeks," observes Dr. Shephard. Many women seem to follow the "nine months up, nine months down" weight mantra that so many OB-GYNs are fond of reciting.
As for breastfeeding, some women swear it makes the extra weight practically evaporate, while others complain that it's hard to shed pounds when consuming 2,500 calories a day.

Community links: Open source motivations edition
What's more fun to do over the weekend then catch up on WordPress community links? Set up the Christmas tree? Clean out the gutters? Shovel the driveway?
Alright, if you have to. Chores are chores. But when you're done, reward yourself with a hot coffee and a good dose of WordPress reading. We have a truckload of links for you, so settle in.
The full list of links is after the jump.
In blog posts this week:
- Alex King, a well known WordPress plugin developer and entrepreneur, posted his thoughts on what motivations exist for WordPress plugin developers today. Chris Olbekson followed up with his own thoughts, as did Joost de Valk. Jeff Chandler started up a commentary at WBTC as well.
- WooThemes posted a preview of the upcoming launch of WPBundle. They also shared a few thoughts on the increase in support time that's required of them with so many themes released.
- Dev4Press redesigned their site.
- James Dalman at WP Design Coach is now accepting themes for review on his new blog.
- Jeff Chandler wrote up how anyone can contribute to the WordPress.org theme review process. He also started a discussion around the legacy that plugins leave behind when they are deactivated.
- ThemesForge has decided to post 24 theme tips throughout December. I love the attitude and initiative behind the posts so far.
- WP Plugins has an interview with plugin developer Jonathan O'Shea.
- Matt Mullenweg was on The Big Web Show with Jeffrey Zeldman.
- Dre on the Sucuri blog wrote up yet another WordPress security post. These posts are always good reminders to secure your WordPress site. While we're on the topic, WPZine has a collection of WordPress security plugins this week too.
- Brandon Cox wrote a really interesting post on how one particular WordPress theme ad depicted developers.
- 9seeds' plugin WP Event Ticketing seems to have a few issues with the popular WordPress theme Thesis. They've posted a fix that should take care of the problem, though.
There were a few WordPress resources posted fresh this week too:
- DBS>Interactive created and released the Template Tag Reference Guide this week.
- Sarah Gooding at WPMU.org listed myself and WPCandy in their list of 50 people to follow for WordPress news on Twitter. Thanks Sarah! They also put up a collection of plugins to use with Foursquare.
- Paul Andrew posted a collection of plugins for integrating Flickr into a WordPress blog.
- Jean-Baptiste Jung posted a solid roundup of WordPress code snippets.
- iThemes has released the video tutorials in their Builder Basics series for free online.
Finally, in WordPress tutorials this week:
- WPEngineer has been laying into the tutorials this week, with a custom login page tutorial and a walkthrough of the upcoming post formats feature.
- WPBeginner has a new tutorial up showing how to add the official LinkedIn share button to your WordPress blog. They also have a nice roundup of plugins for managing images with WordPress.
- Vladimir Prelovac posted about how to disable post revisions and delete them from your database.
- Scribu showed how to insert a banner between posts, without editing the theme files.
- Chris Coyier put together a tutorial showing how to make the WYSIWYG editor really WYSIWYG.
- Sumeet Chawla at Nettuts+ put together a tutorial showing how to create an FAQ page with custom post types.
Wow, that may be a record for number of WordPress related links in a roundup post (for us). Who gets the plaque?
That's it for links this week. If you run across something link worthy, don't hesitate to let us know about it. If it's worth a story we'll jump on it, and if it's best suited for a community news post it will show up in this space next week.Tags: Cloud Hosting - Coding Web 3.0 - data - database - design - engine - file - full - GUI - HD Video - Hi-Def Multimedia (HD) - HTML 5 - images - Multimedia and Video Platforms - Multimedia News - Music on The Web - online - Online Marketing - Open - Open Source Software (OSS) - site - source - The Bleeding Edge of Tech - The Blog Roll - video - Vlog - wysiwyg

Why Percentage-Based Designs Don't Work in Every Browser
Here's a rule any web designer can live by: Your designs don't need to look exactly the same in every browser, they just need to look good in every browser.
It's a maxim that will spare you many a hair-pulling hour. That said, there some things you would expect to be the same across browsers that aren't. One such problem that's likely to crop up more often as designers jump on the responsive, flexible-width bandwagon is percentage-width CSS rules.
According to the spec, browsers, given a percentage width, would simply render the width of the page based on the size of the container element. And, in fact, that's what browsers do, but how they do it varies quite a bit. As a result, percentage-based widths are often displayed quite differently across web browsers.
Developer Steffan Williams recently ran into this problem when trying to create a percentage-based version of his Gridinator CSS framework. Williams created a container
with a width of 940 pixels and then wanted to create a 12 column grid within that container. Do the math and you end up with columns set to a width of 6.38298 percent.
Pull that up in Firefox or Internet Explorer 6/7 and you'll see what you expect to see. In Safari, Chrome and Opera, however, you'll see something different. IE 8 and 9 are also slightly off.
The problem is not a new one; developer John Resig pointed this out years ago. But as Williams notes, it's odd that browser behavior when rendering percentage-width grids is still so inconsistent across vendors, especially given how much today's browsers tout their CSS 3 support.
The problem isn't necessarily a simple case of Firefox and IE being right and the others wrong. As Opera CTO and CSS creator Håkon Wium Lie tells Webmonkey, the problem is "the CSS specification does not require a certain level of precision for floating point numbers."
This means browsers are free to round your carefully computed percentages up or down as they see fit. According to Lie, Opera considers the result of Williams' experiment to be a bug. Same with the WebKit project, the engine that handles rendering in both Safari and Chrome, though in Webkit's case the bug has been unassigned since 2006. But really, there is no right or wrong here, just different ways of rounding.
Fortunately, for most of your stylesheets, the differences in each browsers' floating point precision will not result in visible differences on the screens of various devices. However, as Williams' experiment shows, it's easy to write a page where those very small differences in rounding become visible when compounded — like a grid-based layout.
What irks Williams and others is that these problems are old and well-known, and yet most browser vendors have still made no move to fix them. Instead, they focus on supporting the shiny new features in CSS 3.
We certainly wouldn't want to suggest that browsers should stop innovating and supporting the latest and greatest standards-based tools, but sometimes it's worth postponing playtime with the newest toys to make sure the foundations are solid. In this case, Opera, Safari and Chrome have some cracks showing, and it's high time they fix them.
Until they do, we suggest you learn to live with the slightly different rendering behaviors in those browsers. After all, pixel-perfect cross-browser support is never going to happen. Given that the web of the future will have even more mobile phones, tablets, and small screen laptops, responsive designs and fluid grids are a trend we expect to grow.
There are also some workarounds. For example, you can use ems instead of percentages, which render much more consistently across browsers. Opera's Lie also points out that the CSS Working Group has several specifications in draft to address the need for grid-based design, including multi-column text and the CSS Template Layout Module, though neither are widely supported at the moment.

Enhance your web forms with new HTML5 features
Please note that HTML5 is an emerging technique. These examples are not intended for use on a production site. Results may vary according to browser implementation. Please use Chrome or Safari for best results.
Required fields
Whose ever tried to submit a form and gotten an error message saying that you "forgot" to enter your email address? Probably not a lot of us: In fact, 99 percent of all web forms have at least one field marked as required.
In good ol' HTML, we had to manually display that a specific field is required, most of the time by using a red asterisk. But with HTML5, you can set up a input field to be required:
<input type="text" name="client_name" required>
And on the CSS side, something like
input:required { border: 1px red solid; }
will save you a lot of time.
Two similar attributes are also available:
. They work exactly as the
attribute explained above.
In a form, an input field always has a label explaining what kind of information is required. While you can currently use the
tag to display a label for a specific text field, HTML5 introduces the
attribute. As shown below, using it is pretty simple:
<input name="firstname" placeholder="Please enter your first name">
The HTML5
attribute works exactly as the
attribute, except that when the user click on the text field, the placeholder text is automatically removed so the user can easily enter his information.
A new HTML5 attribute is named
. If applied to an element, the element will automatically receive the focus once the page is loaded. This can be seen on some sites and most search engines.
Nothing complicated, just use the syntax below, and remember that in HTML5, there's no more need for attributes to have a value like in XHTML 1.0.
<input name="search" autofocus>
Email fields
Asking someone's email on a web form is extremely common because email is still the easiest way to contact someone over the internet. HTML5 introduces a new type for the input element, named
<input name="email" type="email">
Pattern attribute
When validating a web form, we have to validate the data entered by the visitor. The new
HTML5 attribute allows you to define a regular expression pattern. Only the data that matches the defined pattern will be validated. If the data doesn't match the pattern, then the form will not be submitted.
This is, in my opinion, an extremely good thing, which will save lots of time to developers when coding forms. Though, remember that you should always validate data on the server side as well.
<input type="text" name="Phone" pattern="^0[1-689][0-9]{8}$" placeholder="Phone" required>
Url fields
Nowadays, many people have a website, blog, or at least a Twitter profile. This is why many web forms offer the possibility to enter an url.
HTML5 introduces a new type for the
element, designed specifically for entering urls:
<input name="url" type="url">
Although I didn't test it myself, I heard that the W3C validator will raise an error if the value of a url field doesn't match a proper url structure.
Date pickers
Many businesses are offering an appointment request through their website. In that case, the visitor has to specify the day they would like an appointment. HTML5 introduces the
type for the
<input name="day" type="date">
When clicked, the
attribute will display a date picker so visitors will simply have to choose a date instead of entering it manually. Unfortunately, except in Opera, most browsers don't have it implemented yet.
Note that a date picker can be implemented on your forms using the following types:
<input type="date"> <input type="datetime"> <input type="month"> <input type="week"> <input type="time">
HTML5 attribute:
var i = document.createElement("input"); i.setAttribute("type", "date"); if (i.type == "text") { // No HTML5 native date picker support, use jQuery or your favorite framework to create one. }
Search boxes
To enhance ease of retrieving information, many websites have implemented their own search engine. HTML5 has created a new type for search fields.
<input name="q" type="search">
For now, the only difference with regular text inputs is that, if you use Safari, the search box will have rounded corners. But maybe interesting functionalities will be implemented in the future. Let's hope, because right now I have to admit that I don't really see why we should use this type.
Sliders type and step attribute
HTML5 is also introducing sliders: A new type for the input element, which allows visitors to easily select a number instead of entering it manually.
<input name="number" type="range" min="0" max="10">
The example above allows the visitor to choose a number between 0 and 10. If you want the slider to be incremented/decremented 2 by 2, you'll have to use one more new attribute: step. Here is an example:
<input name="number" type="range" min="0" max="10" step="2" >
That way, visitors will only be able to select numbers like 0, 2, 4, and so on.

Microsoft Giving Up On Silverlight, Joining HTML5 Party
We now have further confirmation that Microsoft is giving up on its Silverlight rich Internet application platform. Bob Muglia, Microsoft's president in charge of server and tools, told ZDNet that the company is "shifting away" from Silverlight as a cross-platform development framework, and pushing the HTML5 web standard instead.
There's been plenty of evidence to suggest this was the case. After all, with the launch of Internet Explorer 9, Microsoft has fully embraced and touted many of HTML5′s features. But it doesn't just stop there; Microsoft will be leveraging HTML5 for the latest version of its Bing search engine, and is using H.264-encoded HTML5 video in lieu of Silverlight Smooth Streaming for delivery of live video on its Xbox 360 game console.
Microsoft will continue to develop and lean on Silverlight, especially for application development on its recently launched Windows Phone 7 operating system for mobile devices. However, Muglia told ZDNet, "HTML is the only true cross-platform solution for everything, including (Apple's) iOS platform."
That Microsoft would align itself with Apple, especially in the embrace of a web standard, might seem peculiar to some. After all, the two software makers have been battling for decades in the PC space, and now are bumping heads in mobile as Microsoft tries to offer up a compelling alternative to Apple's iPhone.
But it also makes sense that Microsoft would begin de-emphasizing Silverlight as a cross-platform development platform. Despite some of the advances Microsoft was able to push with its development, including HTTP and adaptive bit rate streaming, it wasn't able to dethrone Flash as the de facto rich Internet application and video platform on the web. And with the emergence of HTML5, it was no longer a matter of playing second fiddle to Adobe, but lagging behind a web standard that was also being rapidly adopted.
To see what Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch has to say about adoption of HTML5 and its positioning against Flash, come see him speak at NewTeeVee Live on November 10 in San Francisco.

Shaw's Blend Of Skill, Charisma Looms Large In Speedway History
Friday, October 29, 2004
Share |
Editor's Note: This story, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the death of three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Wilbur Shaw in a plane crash Oct. 30, 1954, was reported and written before the tragic Hendrick Motorsports plane crash Oct. 24. Shaw's contributions to the Speedway as a driver and track president were monumental, and this story was done to honor his memory. In that spirit, the entire staff of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway offers its thoughts and sincerest sympathies to the Shaw and Hendrick Motorsports families during this time of remembrance. ***
Bill Shaw's voice crackled with emotion as he searched back into his mind for lightly buried memories of that fateful day of Oct. 30, 1954.
Bill Shaw's full name is Warren Wilbur Shaw Jr. His father, Warren Wilbur Shaw Sr., won the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race three times, convinced Tony Hulman to purchase the Indianapolis Motor Speedway after World War II and then served as the track's president during its post-war resurrection.
Fifty years ago, one day before his 52nd birthday of Oct. 31, the senior Shaw was flying back from Detroit on a Saturday afternoon with pilot Ray Grimes and artist Ernest R. Roose, who painted portraits of Indianapolis 500 winners. The plane was caught in a sudden snowstorm and plunged into a cornfield near Decatur, Ind., a farm town about 95 miles northeast of Indianapolis. There were no survivors.
Bill Shaw was 9 and in the third grade.
"I remember the phone ringing and them saying dad had been hurt," he said, his words coming haltingly. "I answered it. I got Mom (Cathleen "Boots" Shaw). I remember her saying, 'Is he alive?' It seemed to me very soon neighbors and friends began to arrive.
"I remember time after time how close to the surface this has been. Yeah, it was devastating. It was like we had the rug pulled out from under us.
"I remember going to school and putting on a positive front. I don't think Mom ever recovered her stride. She tried bravely. He was everything to her."
Shaw, who lives in Indianapolis, was sharing his memories via cell phone from Brown County in southern Indiana. The next day, Oct. 24, was a one of joy for him and his wife, Linda, as his son Peter, 24, and Rachelle Woods of Bloomington were married. Peter Shaw will enter the officer's program of the U.S. Navy.
But the sadness of that day a half-century ago always will be there.
The family lived on 11 acres on the city's far north side. Bill Shaw said all of his heroes, the race drivers, cowboy movie stars Roy Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy, and others would come to visit. His dad and flying ace Roscoe Turner were "tight pals," Shaw said.
"The clearest memory I have of Dad was on the mower in shorts and sandals," Shaw said. "On weekends, friends from the Speedway came out to help clear away brush and then eat. It was huge fun. They were a great gang."
Shaw said his father was an outstanding mechanic who taught him well about using tools. As he's gotten older, Bill Shaw remembers his father each time he picks up a tool to do a task.
"His feeling was that the best way to teach was to show," he said.
"I had a lot of respect for him. The love was unconditional. We always were doing something in the shop. He didn't read for fun. He was self-educated, and the books we have in storage make quite a library.
"I heard Dale Earnhardt Jr. say the other day he liked to be in the room with his dad but stayed on the other side. I understood that. He (Shaw's father) was great fun. He had a temper. He was just large (in presence)."
Later, in his Indianapolis home, Shaw pulled out three voluminous scrapbooks his mother had kept. Filled with photographs and clippings from newspapers and magazines, they are an incredible history of auto racing from the 1920s up until the mid-1950s.
For example, there are little-seen photos of 1926 Indianapolis 500 champion Frank Lockhart's fatal accident on the hard-packed sand along Ormond Beach, Fla., in 1928. Shaw was there seeking his own speed records. There are hundreds of others, many of happier racing days.
"When he was in Florida with Lockhart, he wrote his first love letter to Mom," Bill Shaw said.
Then Bill Shaw revealed it wasn't until Shaw earned his first Indianapolis 500 victory in 1937, after Wilbur and Boots were married, that Wilbur had enough money to buy her a wedding ring.
Wilbur Shaw was born Oct. 31, 1902, in Shelbyville, Ind., but his mother moved to Indianapolis following a divorce. He left school at an early age and soon was hanging around the Speedway doing mechanical chores. He built his first race car, and it was ordered off the track as being unsafe, but then the official who made the ruling helped him build another better one over the winter. A career was launched.
He drove the Jynx Spl. to fourth in his first Indianapolis 500 start in 1927. He won for the first time in 1937 in the Shaw-Gilmore, placed second in 1938 and followed with victories in 1939 and 1940 in the Boyle Maserati. He was leading in 1941 on Lap 151 when a wheel collapsed and he crashed into the Turn 1 wall, suffering a broken vertebra.
Shaw came close to winning five in a row. His total winnings of $91,300 were a record for any driver up to that time.
During World War II, Shaw was sales manager for the aircraft division of Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. and the company's liaison with the Army Air Force. He came to the Speedway in 1944 to do a test run and learned from owner Eddie Rickenbacker that a realtor had offered to purchase the track and turn it into housing subdivision.
Shaw reportedly "blew up" at such a thought. He began searching for investors who would buy the track and retain the race he so cherished. This eventually led him to Anton "Tony" Hulman Jr. of Terre Haute, Ind. On Nov. 14, 1945, Hulman, with Shaw also being an investor, purchased the track and made him president.
Shaw defied death a number of times in a race car and in 1951 survived a near fatal heart attack at the Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio, after running up the hill.
The fateful day of Oct. 30, 1954, began when Shaw and his two companions flew out of Sky Harbor Airport in northeastern Indianapolis to Ann Arbor, Mich., to do a test drive of the Chrysler Imperial on the 4.7-mile Chrysler Proving Ground track. After turning some high-speed runs before lunch, the trio listened to Indiana University's football upset victory over Michigan before boarding the plane for the return flight.
The weather reports were favorable, but instead they ran into a snow squall south of Fort Wayne. The plane went into a dive and disintegrated as it approached the ground.
"It's funny how you remember where you were when you heard something like that," said Mari Hulman George, chairman of the board of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "I came out of the Circle Theater (on Indianapolis' Monument Circle), a movie. I heard it. I was shocked. I knew the artist. We still have one of his paintings."
George also fondly remembers occasions when Shaw and Boots would come to the Hulman farm in Terre Haute, swim and visit with all of their friends from the Speedway.
"He taught me how to drive a Jeep, all about shifting," she said. "I started racing after high school (in 1953, as a car owner). He was helpful in meeting people. He was very dapper and charming and a great personality."
Jack Martin, executive secretary of the Indianapolis 500 Oldtimers Club, is another who has treasured memories of Shaw.
"The thing I remember about Wilbur at the Speedway was that he was everywhere," said Martin, who worked for Firestone Racing at that time. "You'd find him in the garages, everywhere.
"It was not unusual to have him come to Firestone and just talk. He was very friendly with racing people. He loo

Attack victim: 'I thought I was going to die'
Donald Fisher describes the attack he endured Thursday morning while at his Manchester apartment Thursday evening. Behind him is a pillow stained by blood from a head wound. (TIM BUCKLAND/Union Leader)
"I thought, for sure, with the amount of blood I was losing, I was going to bleed out. I thought I was going to die," he said Thursday evening while nursing a head wound that continued to seep blood despite the stitches he was given at Elliot Hospital.
Fisher, 63, said he'd come home from picking up a prescription for Oxycodone when he was approached just before 9:30 a.m. by two men with a picture of a lost dog.
They asked him if he'd seen the animal. When he got closer to look at the photo, they attacked him and robbed him of his medication, he said.
"I let them get too close to me," he said. "That's the trouble with me. I'm just too nice of a guy."
He said one of them knocked him down after hitting him in the face. When he was on the ground, they started hitting his head with a pipe.
"They really started bashing my head in," said Fisher, who suffered a concussion.
Police later recovered a pipe nearby in a parking lot on Maple Street.
The men ripped a Rite Aid bag containing a prescription for Oxycodone from the man's hands.
One of the men grabbed the bottle and the two took off north on Maple Street, according to police.
Officer Chris Biron and police dog Colt tracked the men, and headed north on Maple Street and east on Prescott Street to the dead-end bordered by a fence line encompassing the rear of a Lincoln Street business. Clothing located in that area was recovered as evidence since its appearance was consistent with the description of the attackers provided by witnesses, police said.
The first man was described as white, in his mid- to late-20s, about 6 feet tall with a thin build.
He was wearing a light blue, hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans, police said.
The second man was also white, in his mid- to late-20s, about 6 feet tall with a thin build. He was clean-shaven with acne on his face, wearing a white sweatshirt with black graphics, a black baseball cap and dark jeans, police said.
The two were last seen headed north on Lincoln Street toward Hayward Street, police said. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips can be made through the Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.
Last month, Fisher was involved in an incident at his home that attracted police attention when he used his "stun cane" to subdue a woman who was allegedly attacking a roommate's daughter.
In that Feb. 21 incident, Fisher zapped a woman armed with a knife with a stunning device he had attached to his cane to try to prevent her from attacking his roommate's daughter, police said.
The not-so-powerful device did not stop Kelly McAndrew, 37, but arriving officers did.
McAndrew was arrested and charged with simple assault and criminal threatening.
