The Verdana typeface family was designed specifically to address the challenges of on-screen display. Designed by world renowned type designer Matthew Carter, and hand-instructed by leading hinting expert, Tom Rickner, these sans serif fonts are unique examples of type design for the computer screen.In its proportions and stroke weight, the Verdana family resembles sans serifs such as Frutiger, and Johnston's typeface for the London Underground. The Verdana fonts are stripped of features which are redundant when applied to the screen. They exhibit new characteristics, derived from the pixel rather than the pen, the brush or the chisel. The balance between straight, curve and diagonal has been meticulously tuned to ensure that the pixel patterns at small sizes are pleasing, clear and legible. Commonly confused characters, such as the lowercase i j l, the uppercase I J L and the number 1, have been carefully drawn for maximum individuality an important characteristic of fonts designed for on-screen use. And the various weights have been designed to create sufficient contrast from one another ensuring, for example, that the bold font is heavy enough even at sizes as small as 9 ppem, or 7pt on the screen. Another reason for the legibility of these fonts on the screen is their generous width and spacing. At low resolutions, because of the limited number of pixels, letters cannot differ very much. But often the smallest differences can often change the whole look of a page, or a screen full of type.

- Wedding: October 2014 - UK
Well, after stressing about bridesmaids dresses, we ordered them at the weekend! I was a bit shell-shocked we'd made a decision, as it had felt like months of faffing prior to that, but I think that was largely on my end, and having all the girls in one place apparently streamlined the process considerably.
We went for the Alfred Sung D448, in a range of colours as detailed in my image below:
The shop wouldn't let us take any photos when we were trying them on, so I don't have any pictures of it on my bridesmaids, but it flattered all of them, so I'm quite excited!
They said it takes 20 weeks for the dresses to come in, so apparently they'll likely arrive early-to-mid- September, for my end of October wedding.
Has anyone else had this dress for their bridesmaids? I'd love to see real-life pictures! 🙂

Campeonato Intercontinental 2009
There's still time to be a Tango Champion in 2009!
On the heels (as it were) of the Mundial and the InterMilonga, here's a week-long tango championship that anyone may enter if they are over 15 years of age. Whatever your nationality and tango status--professional or amateur--you are eligible to compete.
Started last night and goes until next Saturday night, October 17, at
El Social Buenos Aires
Alsina 2764, Balvanera
The first prize is $6000 pesos AR, and a tour.
Read all about it here.
There will be live orchestras and performances every night:
Go on, grab your partner and go for it!
Labels: Buenos Aires, Campeonato

Has anyone ever calculated how many Tango Championships there are in the world on an annual basis? I'm guessing 200+.

text: I've decided I want my first Mac to be either a refurb. 17-inch iMac or a refurb. 15-inch Powerbook. I just can't decide which one. Obviously the Powerbook has the edge on portability, a better video card, and that cool backlit keyboard. I'm going to be headed to graduate school in the Fall so I think it would be perfect to bring to class with me. Not to mention the envy factor. Total after tax and RAM upgrades from Crucial: $2423. The iMac has a bigger display and a faster Superdrive, but then I sacrifice the portability. It also has a lesser video card than the PB. Still, it could save me a couple hundred bucks, which I could put towards a DV Camcorder or something else cool like that. I'm also leaning towards the iMac because of the issues I've heard about the 15-inch PB (white spots on display, overheating, etc). Total after tax, RAM upgrades from Crucial, and an Airport Extreme card: $1968. Anyone have some advice? I'm going to be making the purchase next week. I'm so excited I think I'm going to wet myself. The only sucky part is the waiting.

Western Digital Launches 2TB Enterprise Green HDD
Western Digital has announced the availability of their new RE4-GP 2TB hard drive. The new GreenPower hdd is aimed for use in enterprise-class systems.
The WD RE4-GP 2TB drive features a 64MB cache, dual processors, and increased areal density. The dual processors give the new drive as much as a 25% increase in performance over previous generation drives.
Western Digital has made improvements in their IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and IntelliPower technologies which allows the WD RE4-GP 2TB and average of 25% reduction in power consumption. The drive also features WD's StableTrack technology which reduces system-inducted vibration to provide more accurate tracking during read and write operations.
Western Digital's new 2TB hard drive is available immediately and retails for $329. The full press release is available here.
"Every data center in operation worldwide contributes to CO2 emissions, and storage systems are at the core of these data centers," said John Rydning, IDC's research director for hard disk drives. "Many storage applications are a great fit for high-capacity, low power-consuming disk drives like the WD RE4-GP 2 TB that help to reduce power consumption and positively impact the environment."
"Energy efficiency is a primary concern for our customers who continue to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising reliability or performance," said Tom McDorman, vice president and general manager of WD's enterprise storage solutions business unit. "WD's RE-GP drives enable them to meet their customer's system requirements for storage capacity, reliability, performance and cost by integrating an enterprise-class drive that simply consumes less power than traditional hard drives."

If you could Relive one day from the past / your past, what would it be?
If you could Relive one day from the past / your past, what would it be?
Don't need to realistically, since technically I'm stuck in my five year old childhood state and pretty much happy about it.
This is going to sound totally cheesie, but, I regret nothing. I mean, sure I do, because I'm only human. In the sense;
I'm content with the fact that each mistake I've made, everything that I've done built up to make me who I am today. And if it was a bad thing that happened in the past, I've learned from it. And I'm content with that fact. ~
NEW ACCOUNT: galaxiias
Oh I know what I would relive in my past but it's a secret :3
playing the electric guitar is frustrating, holy shiz =3=
I don't think I want to relive any moment of my past, or even think in those terms. I'm glad things don't work that way. I just want to be able to deal with the here and now better.
As for all of history I would go and see one of the days after the Resurrection of Christ.
The day I was supposed to go to the mall with a bunch of guys and my friend. Most importantly, I would have went with the guy I probably don't have a chance with anymore. He told me he wasnt going to go and the only other girl going bailed on me, so I cancelled. Turns out he actually did go..
OR the day he talked to me, I could have been friendlier since he seems to like any girls that talk to him and are nice to him...
FML. Relationship. GONE.
Oh and every time I get a question wrong on an exam, and I clearly knew the right answer, I just wish I could go back in time and fix it.
UBC Science or UTSG Rotman Commerce?
i wish i could go back to the day before my friends (a boy) b-day party so i can spend the day with a sexy boy( who was my senior last year) in drama class after school.......*sigh* i miss him so muchi wish we were both going to highschool together but he's already in highschool and i'm just now going to highschool *sigh*
I'd actually want to go waaay back into the past, where there weren't any tall buildings and advanced technology, just to see what it's like.. But other than that i don't really care to relive anything in the past/ my past.
Best Parody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-eCB6R5tCM
Jack the Ripper killing days.
ReL!VE My Past: I wish i can gO back to that mOment where i am eNjoying and being gOod as a nurse student then NOT shift coUrse to Business School and ended Up having a JoB so roUtinary and pretty mUch aLL aBoUt the MOney
ReLIVE The past: If ONLy i can go Back and Do something just try to change the New York 9/11 Tragedy. Where in i can save my Uncle and most peOpLe, STOP United States frOm going out wAr and prObabLy the recession aLso
deleting the acount ASAP... Thank you Everyone!
Relive one day in my life: The day I took my first passport picture,in order to try to look like something..I can't think of something serious..Maybe that day when we were just eating scratchiess in the backyard under the sun... It's nothing big,but it's always stayed in my memory as one of the nicest days I've had
One day of past: Any day, long before dinosaurs appeared...So wondering what was there back then!
Aishhhaishh..too much drama...*blows bangs*
That one day I spent with this person in the library when I was 14, I should have said something more.
None of them. Even my worst days have helped make me a better person, and I wouldn't want to change that. I prefer to learn from my mistakes than regret them.
Edit: I was reading relive in the sense of redo. As far as days I want to experience again? Same answer. I don't want to nostalgically think of old positive experiences, but rather put forward an effort to experience new positive experiences.
That day in 11th grade when my first girlfriend invited me over to her house, took me down into her basement for five hours and hinted at sex over and over and over, but I was too busy being stupid, insecure and self-conscious to understand what was going on.
A narrative has power, even when its hero is a dirty rodent carrying the plague.
I was torn on this question... one reply would have been one of those all day marathons of..... yeahhhhh so, I ummmm I am going with my recent trip to Japan. Yeah, Japan was pretty frigging awesome. I am torn which day to pick from that trip, but it would either be a day in Tokyo or Kyoto. Definitely not Hiroshima though. Hiroshima was definitely not on my favorites list.
My Past: The 1st time I listened to "Illmatic" or "In Search Of..."
The Past: All of the 90s.

When you are black, you lie flat on your back
it used to be when you were "brown"
they would ask you to stick around...
Well...water? .. air? FLY? Why? its only a fly, stick to the evil you know of ...
Well... "In everything give thanks"..
Black everyday, every year, every century,
time repeats
don't MAR the season, drop a coin in the TIN

"Smile a while, give your face a rest"

Africa, the word, the loudness and the roar
not for Lions, leopards or tigers
but Ebola
a continent turning and prospects chilling,
one, two, three, and counting
Africa rises not with the soothing sun
but with gathering clouds -
the battle line drawn while we take cover -
England, Russia and America
Africa the continent more deadly than the Cobra,
more fearful than its forests it aims,
marking us sick,
sending fever chills and rashes -
despite alarm another victim another life another void -
despite fears its here,
despite screening,
one by one by one humanity falls,
like lambs to the slaughter gathering souls,
we stir outnumbered, despite arms, Ebola

One careless girl through this island flit
Dancing and prancing she flirts about
The eastern end was her port
Our men she chose ... and without a doubt she had them fell,
Ankles and knees she did swell
Backs she bent and heads did tell ...
of her stamp upon skins where they itched for her
A wanton girl she be ... ,
for with our women she sought a fling!
And she did consort
Where cries abound in many a house.
Elbows and wrists she did kiss
With lymphs and waist she did a twist.
Walking became a game of hit or miss and the ground a target you could hit.
For weeks she twirled, even hit and miss
Making a few to be "a chick wanna be."
And with bated breath the question they asked-
Is this my day with Miss Chik?
To old folks and children she was not kind,
For joints she conned and held hostage digits and tips.
This girl a true symbol of sorrow and woe,
For none was left with feelings of glow.
A rise in temperatures made us jealously defend ...
a pack of Panadol,
two Tylenol would do.
For the ache and the pain she did inflick
A-deses of E-gypti the enemy of all.
Her task not yet done in her ravage of the east
but a-waltzing she goes in the north and the south.
With a bet I know she'll dart for the west!
Though with a few she has yet to consort
her wanton some day she hopes to engorge.
I as a victim would hope she could die
for I have been hit by this chik of a v_ who
Whistles at men and embraces women too, cuddles our children while tempting the grans.
This Chik with a gun has made us bend,
Insane careless Chik; V-ictor she be!
- Patricia A. Rodney
Arrest hatred the root of inflicting wounds
Cut away the needless pain from society
Sentence violence with the death penalty
From the Gaza down to the Gully
Extract the vicious teeth of onslaught
from the inflammable gums of our youth
The gun called murder - lay it to rest
The knife of revenge - put it down and give love your best
The 'badman' mentality from the shores of Jamaica - push it away
Let us take the prescribe medicine that was
once given by Bob Marley the Legend
One love, one heart, let's get together and feel all right
Stop the wars it's time to heal the scars
Before restoration, eradicate the bug of degradation
Before raising your evil hand
Think about Jamaica our little island
Restorative Justice, let this be our new practice
If your illegal skillful hands swept through
Ms Chin's shop, the time has come for you to stop
Where is her generator? Go find it and bring it back
Communities are practising mathematics
But division is all they do
What about subtraction?
Subtracting the pain, the hurt, the guilty shame
- Daron Chosen Smith
Life is so amazing
I go to the moon and the stars above with you,
Let's take full control 100 per cent
Max every payroll,
We have King's house here, get me a vintage Rolls Royce here,
We are royalties here; our every word is royalty,
Mothers, fathers take control,
Sisters see the birth controls
You're all Queens with dreams, and goals,
Brothers, let love, peace and respect take control,
Ballin outa control, not necessary
We visionaries not adversaries,
JA, Let roots reggae, poetry and lovers rock
Take control, we got infinite goals,
We royals here, no one must go a next day poor,
Of wealth or love,
A jewel, pure from God hands we are,
Let's take 100 per cent control
Let's keep the dice rolling and love outshining
Most amazing JA and everlasting.

For shame, Marten Cullen, for shame. In the wake of the 2008 Olympics Ireland's sports minister is tired of the country focusing on sports that they clearly can't win. Instead he wants to bring business to bear on sports via the competitive advantage of nations theory. What kind of sports should Ireland give up? Well, sprinting for one. Why? Because, of course, that's for black people.
"Obviously, unless you're black and African you're not going to do well in sprint or middle distance," he says. "We'll get the odd one coming through, like a Sonia or an Eamonn Coghlan, but we'll deal with them as they come. But the likes of the javelin, the discus, the pole vaulting, these are the ones being won by white Europeans. Physically and mentally we're suited to them, and it's easy to see how we could do well here."
What other sports should Ireland be focusing on? Why, good Irish ones like swimming. Also, cycling. "Cycling is one we have a tradition of, and it's a realistic target for us. Look at the countries who are winning in the cycling. They are white European countries. It is nothing we couldn't do. But, again, you need to be ruthless." Ruthless, indeed. Suddenly, a voice of reason in our theater of Olympic dreams [Independent]

CLS multiple choice exams?
To all CLSers out there, just wondering if you know of classes that have multiple choice exams (or partial multiple choice), aside from Schechtman's classes?

Edible Vaccines
In the past few years, agricultural biotechnology has progressed in leaps and bounds. It started with the commercial success of "Golden Rice"- a genetically modified crop, aimed to provide better "Vitamin-A" nutrition to those populations that suffer from Vitamin- A deficiency. After Golden Rice came the Indian invention- Bt. Cotton. This cotton crop could reduce the damage caused by Bollworm, by causing an adverse effect on the insects that feed on it. It therefore helped in increasing yield by decreasing the damage. The other commercial GM crops were namely, "Flavr Savr" Tomatoes, Bt. Brinjal and many more, each aiming at either increasing yield or reducing spoilage.
Biotechnologists in recent years have come up with a new concept, enhancing the idea behind "Golden Rice". This new concept is about Food Vaccines. The difference here lies, that crops like "golden rice" provided extra nutrition that naturally didn't occur in it. But food vaccines are GM crops that would provide extra added "immunity" from certain diseases.
Food Vaccines or Edible Vaccines have many potential advantages. These GM plants could be grown locally, and cheaply, using the standard growing methods of a given region. Homegrown vaccines would also avoid the logistical and economic problems posed by having to transport traditional preparations over long distances. And, being edible, the vaccines would require no syringes.
But with advancement, come many hurdles and problems. One of the key goals of the edible-vaccine pioneers is to reduce immunization costs. It is postulated that edible vaccines would be far cheaper than current injectable vaccines since they would not have to undergo the expensive purification and refrigeration of traditional vaccines, and transportation costs would be much reduced. Even if edible vaccines are cheaper, it is not assured that this will lead to increased vaccination coverage, since in many cases the cost of the vaccine is a small part of the whole package. According to the WHO, to immunize a child, the cost is no more than $1 for six big vaccines, but $14 is the cost for the total programme which includes- laboratories, transport, cold chain, personnel and research.
In special cases, for the newer, more expensive vaccines, such as hepatitis B and AIDS, the cost of the vaccine plays a more significant role, but the nature of the vehicle (apples or syringe) will still only represent a small part of the total cost.
Research into edible vaccines is still at a very early stage and scientists have a long way to go in proving their efficacy. Getting plants to express adequate amounts of the vaccine, is proving challenging enough, let alone translating that into an appropriate immunological response in people. Producing stable and reliable amounts of vaccines in plants is complicated by the fact that tomatoes and bananas don't come in standard sizes! There may also be side-effects due to the interaction between the vaccine and the vehicle. People could ingest too much of the vaccine, which could be toxic, or too little, which could lead to disease outbreaks among populations believed to be immune.
Despite the un-surety of these vaccines, they can prove to be bliss for the underprivileged, if they are a success as they will be easily reachable to a wide population. Even "Golden Rice" faced a lot of problems till its final approval and now it has proved as a major success to the underprivileged population of Africa.

|Summary, etc.:
From the author of The Fool's Tale and I, Iago comes a disarmingly charming and warm-hearted "romcom" about a woman, her dog, and the man who has to prove that he is good enough for both of them. Sara Renault fired Rory O'Connor from his part-time job at a Boston art museum, and in response, Rory-an Irish actor secretly nursing a crush on his beautiful boss-threw caution to the wind, leaned over, and kissed her. Now Sara and Rory are madly in love. When Rory's visa runs out on the cusp of his big Hollywood break, Sara insists that he marry her to get a green card. In a matter of weeks they've gone from being friendly work colleagues to a live-in couple, and it's all grand . . . except for Sara's dog, Cody, who had been a gift from Sara's sociopath ex-boyfriend. Sara's over-attachment to her dog is the only thing she and Rory fight about. When Rory scores both his green card and the lead role in an upcoming TV pilot, he and Sara (and Cody) prepare to move to Los Angeles. But just before their departure, Cody is kidnapped by Sara's ex-and it is entirely Rory's fault. Sara is furious and broken-hearted. Desperate to get back into Sara's good graces, Rory takes off and tracks Cody and the dog-napper to North Carolina. Can Rory rescue Cody and convince Sara that they belong together-with Cody-as a family? First they'll need to survive a madcap adventure that takes them all across the heartland of America. Stepdog is a refreshing and hilarious romantic comedy that asks: How far would you go for the one you love?

Tobe Hooper, the director known for helming horror film classics such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Poltergeist, has sadly passed away.
Hooper died over the weekend on Saturday (Aug 26) in Sherman Oaks, California, of natural causes. He was 74 years old.
The Austin, Texas native is a horror fan favorite as he brought some of the scariest movies to the big screen. Based loosely on true events, 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre tells the tale of a group of friends that become the victims of choice for a group of cannibals.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre became one of the most popular and influential horror films, even spawning a remake in 2003. Horrifyingly scary and realistic, the original film was made on a $300,000 budget but grossed over $30.8 million domestically, making it one of the most profitable independent films in the '70s. Hooper went on the direct the film's sequel, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2, in 1986.
Between the first and second Chain Saw Massacre movies, Hooper hit it big with another staple in the horror film genre -- 1982's Poltergeist. Produced and written by fellow legendary director Steven Spielberg, the film about a family tormented by a host of demons in their home is easily one of the best films in the genre and a favorite among film fans.
But Hooper also had success on the small screen. His 1979 TV adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel Salem's Lot on CBS is regarded by many as one of the best representations of the horror genre seen on television.
Other works by the talented director include the music video for '80s rocker icon Billy Idol's song "Dancing With Myself," as well as a book he co-wrote titled Midnight Movie.
His last film, Djinn, was released in 2013 and tells the story of a couple that arrive at their new apartment to find it is haunted by malevolent beings.
Other horror directors and writers, including James Wan, John Carpenter and Stephen King, who admired Hooper's work, have been paying tribute via Twitter. You can see their posts below.
Hooper is survived by his two sons. ~Alexa Caruso
Sad to hear the passing of Tobe Hooper. One of the nicest people. A sweet, gentle soul of a man. Your legacy lives on. #RIP
— James Wan (@creepypuppet) August 27, 2017
Tobe Hooper directed THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, a seminal work in horror cinema. He was a kind, decent man and my friend. A sad day.
— John Carpenter (@TheHorrorMaster) August 27, 2017
Sorry to hear Tobe Hooper passed. He did a terrific job directing the 'SALEM'S LOT miniseries, back in the day. He will be missed.

I love Wild Like Children and only just found out they've done another album, called Bottoms of Barrels. It seems to be on import only but Amazon are selling it for £11.
So what's it like? Anyone?
it's a grower
you can download it for free from www.team-love.com
bad education is the bestest!
it's AWESOME :D
second that
when i said i love it, i meant it was AWESOME cos, well, it is :)
spot on!
and they are playing at indian summer in glasgow :)
I'll third it...
because it's lovely, they are also a really amazing live band
looks like you can't download it for free but you can in america, I guess it's because theyre on a different label over here so it stops you same happened with willy mason
Hmm, that's a shame
I was in HMV earlier today but I forgot to look for it - doh. Mind you, it was Winchester HMV which is small and not blessed with a wide range of musical goodness.
Thanks for the positive reviews though. I think I'll buy it! Also, they're playing at the Southampton Joiners on 6th September, oh yes. I am so there.
i got it from hmv
for 7 quid
i love it.
Love it muchly
And one song is related to one of my most favourite films (I'd imagine intentionally, anyway). So that makes it extra-good. Tilly are one of those few bands I really can't imagine not liking a song by.
I like the freest man song because it's a response to a bright eyes song 'I will be grateful for this day' about neely
I always thought of Conor when I listened to it
But I hadn't realised it actually was about him. Ditto with Will Be Grateful... and Neely. Interesting. Sort of.
I could be wrong
it's just as '...gratefull' is about a girl he went out with and played in a band with who is now a teacher which neely was for a while I think, and then the freest man just seemed obviously about him before I noticed the similarity with they lyrics
"theres a boy I know.." and "theres a girl I know" etc. if there not connected it would be quite a coincidence
Yeah, I agree
Makes a great deal of sense. And Neely was indeed a teacher. Which I really can't imagine very well.

While all of us rabid Stranger Things fans anxiously await Season 2 later this year when it releases on Netflix, thankfully we won't have to wait too long to get our first taste. Entertainment Weekly has scored the first official photo from Season 2, along with the news that the first official teaser will debut this Sunday during the Super Bowl.
The first photo is all kinds of the 80's retro awesome that fans loved about Stranger Things with the boys all dressed up as Ghostbusters at school, seemingly on Halloween. Take a look:
As you can see, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) are back on the case and ready to bust some ghosts…or Demogorgons? Season 2 is set in 1984, one year after the events of the first season and little else is known about what is going on with Eleven, the Sheriff and the rest of the town favorites since the filming has been shrouded in secrecy.
Executive producer Shawn Levy did give EW this small tidbit though:
"The Demogorgon was destroyed but evil wasn't."
No official release date has been announced for Stranger Things Season 2, but it will most likely be in the late summer of fall.

Ouagadougou- Burkina Faso (PANA) -- The International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF) Saturday set up a strategic framework for a decade-long funding programme which will see the creation of single multilateral fund (FMU) jointly financed by the member states and bilateral partners.
A document published at the end of a two-day Francophone states leaders' summit, stressed that the fully fledged members, associate members and observer members of the OIF must contribute in the funding of the programmes, according to what they can afford.
"States and governments will directly pay their financial contributions to the FMU and not to the operators, save for the specific case of (Francophone Channel) TVS.
"The strategic objectives adopted by the heads of states and governments will be achieved only through a coherent and transparent management in mobilising, allocating and using the funds," the document said.
The leaders have mandated the OIF secretary general, Abdou Diouf of Senegal, to seek funding with other international partners.

'Deeper Discovery' is the name of a developmental program for small groups of individuals who want to take steps to improving aspects of their personal and professional skills.
The Deeper Discovery program builds on the Insights Discovery model, which provides an online evaluation of one's personality, hopes, dreams and fears through a color-coded energy system. As a result, it promises to play a part in improving individual and team leadership and communication and begin a long-term development plan.
The program uses a circular floor mat marked with 'Archetypes of Discovery,' such as Judge, Entertainer, Warrior and Lover, in order to encourage participants to expand their perspectives through enhanced self-awareness and understanding. While there are many workplace assessments that can be taken by employees, this workshop includes a physical component that takes it to the next level.

Home › Forums › Fashionic WordPress Theme › obviously a reason-YET absolutely MUST have self-hosted videos LIKE youtube demo
This topic contains 7 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by uiueuxfan 4 years, 10 months ago.
February 23, 2014 at 2:19 am #2493
amazing theme of course!!! 🙂 – HOW HOW HOW can one mod to use SELF-HOSTED little videos THAT SHOW just like the demo.
WHY not is certainly a tech fact – YET really really this has got to be OR become possible.
many thanksFebruary 24, 2014 at 6:15 am #2515
Hi, sorry for delay. to implement self-hosted videos play should be a big job. it will concerned about video format issue, browsers compatible issue, server performance issue …, so the better way still youtube or vimeo:(
BestFebruary 24, 2014 at 10:20 am #2517
Thanks – absolutely not concerned, and perhaps neither should theme-devs be, with server performance and the likes. I'm looking for a hack/mod that simply allows a video to show up IN the box like the youtube and vimeo demo.
What i'm confused about is why something isn't possible as far as getting the videos to JUST show up. The plugin Can't the required video code be forced into the top level page so that it shows? Thank you!:-)
ALL 2014 links gotten from above link
– WordPress › Replace Featured Image with Video
– WordPress › Featured Video Plus « WordPress Plugins
– etc.
Sooo… FEATURED IMAGES AS animated GIFs SHOW UP – why not self-hosted video even when using ANY one of the many methods. please see link above.
Can that be made to work?? The visitor needs to be able to click on a LITTLE self-hosted video and play it RIGHT at the top level IN the box.
again, many thanks. brilliant theme.February 25, 2014 at 1:50 am #2524
Hi, I have checked the 2 plugins you mentioned, but unfortunatly they all using embed videos rather than self-hosted (you can see the screenshots images with plugins). then I think the embeded videos still the better choice so far.
BestFebruary 28, 2014 at 10:40 pm #2562
Wonderful to have had you attention on the request. I'll need to do more studying it appears. (thanks for info)
The objective being: to be able to have small self-hosted videos show up in the top level boxes as in your demos.
Must be do-able somehow.
I believe many of us are not going to want nor need exclusively youtube and the rest.March 1, 2014 at 3:12 am #2563
Hi, please see below links:
even though you use one of these plugins, some extra work you still to do, such as hack the wordpress to enable uploading various format of videos, converting one video to various format and uploaded them. this may be cost your many times and vigor I think.
All the bestMarch 1, 2014 at 3:42 am #2564
Hi! came back to clarify with an UPDATE comment and found your kind reply. thanks. Would never use JW in this decade, myself that is. mediaElement.js (now IN WordPress of course) and perhaps jPlayer are modern and not sullied with agedness and commercialization etc. etc. in MY mind that is.
Ok, so firstly noting that one of the two links to plugs i posted (the better of the two) DOES (apparently) have Local Media as a feature.
Beside your Local Videos (WordPress 3.6+ required) you can use videos from YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion.
plus, thanks for the why NOT to self-host. these sites always pop-up like a slap when one is looking to self-host – hehe – YET I am certain, obviously, that it's not an obsolete skill (self-hosting) it's just more geekie.
So, may i ask if you have any comment about a modern solution using wordpress' mediaElement.js magic — 2014 now and most of the other stuff, with GREAT appreciation for your time taken, don't fit in with WordPress 3.8 anymore.
I may have missed a couple of other points or concessions though moving as swiftly as possible here as hosting small videos (self-hosting) IS a needed feature for many i've discovered.
in absolutely any event —
March 1, 2014 at 3:53 am #2566
- This reply was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by uiueuxfan.
Video.js is cool and has caught my eye before – maybe you even use it I'm now thinking – I'm also thinking conflicts and lack of integration and headaches generally due to wordpress solution currently in place in 3.8.1 etc.
There was a time I'd struggle through anything though that's become pointless in my mind due to how quickly knowledge becomes obsolete. The lasting benefits from the ability to struggle are great – and knowing when not to is one of the benefits.
cool! let's see videos using WP's mediaElement.js in the top level boxes somehow is the goal and as elegantly as possible. the less is more thing. oh the struggles we've all had. hehehe

Prophecy as spoken by Brother Lee Sharpe (End Time Prophet) 1291995 Yea I say the impostors some call holy swingers will continue to increase. Persecution through hate movements – TV, Movies, TV Comedy and look for the taxation of churches, persecution through education. Yea a persecution madness released on true Christians, on true ministers, children will be attacked as never before. They will become more rebellious, young girls and boys will be exploited at much younger age. Children drug and alcohol use will increase very rapidly. Children hate for their parents will increase to dangerous proportions. The standards of the churches will continue to decrease till no standards at all. Millions will keep deceiving and being deceived by false prosperity. As Noah's predictions were ignored, so will many of you ignore this, BUT it will surely come. Homosexuality will become epidemic. Mass raperiots in the streets. Demonic spirits of lust will sweep all nations. Moral filth will wax worse and worse – Nudeness – sex acts on TV; even in some churches. Yea America has past point of no return. Yea I say unto you just prior to final judgment, half of the USA will be declared disaster area. Earthquakes will increase – famine coming – millions will starve to death. Food prices will be driven beyond reach of most. Record heat in the north – cold in the south. 20 years coming will be filled with disasters. Those who prepare is wise. Buy only what is needed. Get out of debt Sell everything as needed Keep cash flow at a minimum Get rid of credit cards Do not panic or get confused just be cautious Get a reliable car and keep it. By all means, do not cheat on God. As you give to God, it shall be given you that believe according to Proverbs 27:12. A prudent man forseeth the future evils and hideth himself but the simple pass on and is severely punished saith the Lord. Brother Lee Sharpe is a proven prophet of God over the years with God confirming the word he preaches with many signs, notable miracles and wonders as we learn from Mark chapter 16. You can hear Brother Lee preach at Truth Tabernacle Church every Wednesday night at 7:30pm and Sunday morning at 10:30am. Truth Tabernacle is located at 703 S. Jackson St in Athens, TN.

I have no problem with the general notion of Beta's re-recognition, and certainly not with the desire of its alumni to see it return, but the college's handling of the situation has been terrible.
The administration's decision to reinstate Beta violates two major policies of the college. First, there are clear rules for the recognition of Greek organizations:
The following recognition policies and process apply to all new or returning organizations…Returning organizations are those who 1) once existed at Dartmouth and closed for non-disciplinary reasons; or 2) once existed at Dartmouth but as the result of disciplinary action were closed for a period of time with the opportunity to return at a future date clearly articulated as part of the disciplinary action.
Second, the college does not allow new or returning Greek organizations to receive recognition without a national affiliation. After being de-recognized at Dartmouth, Beta national revoked the chapter's charter. Today, Beta national is dry and so if Dartmouth Beta wants to rejoin, presumably they would need to follow those rules. The college is allowing Beta to be re-recognized therefore in clear violation of its rules mandating that fraternities be nationally affiliated. The Dartmouth article had the following:
Sipple [co-chairman of the Beta Board of Trustees] said that while the alumni group's ultimate goal is to rejoin with Beta national, they are prepared to work with future members to determine if affiliation with a different national organization would better suit the needs of the group. It is College policy to only allow the addition of national fraternities and sororities to campus.Does anybody believe this? Clearly, Dartmouth's Beta chapter is not going to go dry. And if they affiliate with another national, what really would be the point of re-recognition? They won't be Beta anymore. I would bet anybody that in ten years time Beta remains unaffiliated.
But what is the real problem with the administration breaking their own rules? First, CFS policies represent a sort of unofficial contract between the college and Greek organizations. If a house breaks them, they face probation and de-recognition. It is therefore very hypocritical for Dean Redman to claim that there is no problem with the college's disregard for their policies.
Furthermore, two years ago, a group of women organized in the hopes of forming a seventh sorority, what today is now thriving as Alpha Phi. They petitioned the college to allow it to form temporarily as a local sorority, promising to affiliate with a national as soon as an acceptable national organization was found. The same administrators who waived the rules for Beta this week refused to do so for the women. And this came at a time when a seventh sorority was desperately needed. The college is willing to be flexible with its rules for its disgraced fraternity but not to do so for the group of women who were well-intentioned and addressing a greater campus need. The lack of consistency - and integrity - with these decisions is appalling.
We all know it's about the money of course. But shouldn't the college stand on principles?

But this was a question asked by a gay blogger whose stock in trade is drawing fake dribbles of jism on celebrities' faces, at an event owned and operated by short-fingered vulgarian Donald Trump. What kind of narcissistic moron thinks it's a platform to burble some fag-bashing manifesto? And what sort of preening retards would bother to make such a person at such an event their mascot?
Desperate, genuinely stupid people, that's who. I don't think this guy is being serious, but the fact that some people probably would be dead serious about it is bad enough:
Sarah Palin is supporting Carrie Prejean according to Carrie's father, 58-year-old William Prejean. He confirmed that in a show of support Palin called Prejean. Although Mr. Prejean would not reveal the contents of the conversation with his daughter, Carrie Prejean has taken the same position as Ms. Palin against same-sex marriage (or as Ms. Prejean labeled it "other sex marriage").
The two outspoken women have a great deal in common. Both are beauty pageant queens, conservatives and staunch Christians who are not afraid to testify to their beliefs in public. Is this the next home run team for the Republicans? Are we ready for two women in the White House (not as a couple because they oppose that type of relationship)?
The possibilities are endless, and the late-night talk show hosts would love it. In this time of great change, anything is possible, and these two forthright women would be much more interested [sic] to watch than McCain, Obama or even George W.
Really? Why? Neither one of them is able to think or speak competently, even more so than Fredo, which is pretty bad news when you think about it. But it would generate a circus, because their supporters are braying retards, and the media are stupid enough to plug the circus. Everyone should have forgotten who this broad was two weeks ago, and instead she's been allowed to portray herself as a martyr, haughtily sacrificed on the manchowder-encrusted altar of fuckin' Perez Hilton. Bitch, please.
I mean, I recall the days when Republicans and conservatards used to at least pretend that they were the party of leaving people the fuck alone, but this year's model (pun intended) has forgotten even that simple dance.

Snarky Eco Bags From TBWA\Vancouver May Help You Score With the Ladies
Photo credit: TBWA\Vancouver
Just when we thought there was nothing new under the sun when it came to reusable bags, ad agency TBWA\Vancouver surprised us with its line of canvas totes that takes the mickey out of the push to go green. Designed to get people to think about sustainability without getting preachy, the bags feature incongruous imagery, like the silhouette of a hunter and his dog or a logger at work, along with tongue-in-cheek phrases like "See ladies, I am sensitive" and "My other bag is in my SUV."
"Being progressively minded people living in Vancouver, we can't help but be environmentally conscious. But we also have a sense of humor. It was in the tension of these two things where the idea of creating cheeky eco-bags came from," says Paul Little, Creative director of TBWA\Vancouver. "The canvas bag has become a fashion statement above and beyond its original purpose. So to us, it seemed natural for us to poke a little fun at the fashion-trendiness of these bags. We knew they'd be somewhat controversial and it's been fun to see the reaction and hear the comments."
The bags, which will retail at $25, are available for pre-order by e-mailing the agency. All proceeds will go to TBWA\Vancouver's not-for-profit client BuySmartBC.

Y'all…thanks for the advice. This fish was GREAT. All I did was squeeze fresh lemon and sprinkle with pepper before cooking it in my George Foreman Grill. On the side, I had steamed broccoli and red potatoes. A little butter and salt to taste…and voila!
By the way, though I'm not exercising (doctor said to not undergo strenuous activity until my blood pressure is down), I have lost 9 pounds in about two and a half weeks. I attribute this to avoiding restaurants and take-out. (And going to bed with my stomach growling…ha.)
As for last night's American Idol…I love Blake the Beat Box Guy!
Shamalee and Sunjia (I know I screwed up spelling)…brother and sister…absolutely adorable!
Oh and to Simon for telling that girl to put her gum on Taylor's face…jerk.
P.S. For whatever reason…I have a HUGE crush on Ryan Seacrest after these first two days of AI. Is that wrong?
I headed over to Gray's chat after Idol and met up with Squee and Tex there. We were all gabbing about the long string of bizarre and, seemingly, mentally challenged folks AI has highlighted so far in auditions and how the judges seem to be even more cruel this year than in years past.
I said that one day Randy, Simon, and even Paula would have to answer for their mockery of these people.
Texan said that, even though it's mean…sometimes you just gotta laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
I said I agreed…but that I always feel guilty for laughing.
And our little Tex replied simply with "humor guilt."
I thought this was a pretty brilliant term and wanted to throw it out to all my Monkbots to discuss.
What are your thoughts on the mean-spiritedness of the show this year? Is AI exploiting these "slow" folks who come out to audition? Or do these folks deserve such treatment simply because they have enough wherewithal to audition?
Personally…I think it's on the side of exploitation. You never see the average kid singing poorly and getting pummelled by Simon. It's usually the slightly stupid or oddly put-together slob that gets torn to shreds.
What do y'all think?
