Protestors took to the streets of the Jackson Heights section of Queens today to march against the New York City Police Department's stop-and-frisk policy.
Demonstrators gathered on Roosevelt Avenue to protest City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's approval of the NYPD's budget for the controversial tactic.
Critics of the program say frisking is unconstitutional and promotes racial profiling, as statistics show the vast majority of the stops involve blacks and Latinos.
Recently released data shows nearly 90 percent of those stopped are innocent.
Meanwhile, city officials say the number of murders in the city is expected to hit a record low this year, and shootings are at their lowest point in at least 18 years.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly are crediting police efforts, including the stop-and-frisk policy, for the decline in crime.

Report: Features of Windows Phone 7.8 get revealed and confirmed
Although Microsoft has yet to reveal anything official about the upcoming Windows Phone 7.8 update (besides the new Start screen) more and more information is coming out. Part of the reason may be because the update is rumored to be have been finalized and is now in OEM partner hands. Now the process of customization and testing by the likes of Nokia, Samsung and HTC will take place.
We have a few reports tied into one massive write up for your reading ease. We'll start with the simple and work our way up to the more detailed information about what's new in Windows Phone 7.8.
Build number
This is a relatively easy one but it's still interesting "for the record" kind of information. From what we've been told from our sources the build number for Windows Phone 7.8 will be 7.10.8858.136. That's a confirmed build number for at least some of what Nokia is working with though we do expect variations based on device and region, so consider that an approximation but not necessarily universal.
Current builds of Windows Phone 7.5 are at 7.10.8779 making the jump to 8858 somewhat significant.
Promotional material
Information about Windows Phone 7.8 is already being printed and distributed. Such is the case in the above image given to us by reader of the site Kaljami. He recently visited his local DNA store in Finland to test out some new Nokia Lumias and spotted this brochure, which he snapped up. Although written in Finnish, we're told it states
"…there will be more theme colours to choose from, it also says that there will be more than the new start screen. And what´s really important is that it confirms that there will be another update after the WP 7.8 update. "
Indeed that's the second mention of a post Windows Phone 7.8 update that we've heard now, the earlier coming from a leaked Nokia slide deck. So while for some 7.8 won't be "enough" to satisfy or make up for no Windows Phone 8 on legacy devices, it looks like Microsoft (and by extension Nokia) will be still adding new features after this new update.
Nokia Lumia 510 with 7.8 gets detailed
Over at the site Winp.cn, they've managed to get their hands on an early build of Windows Phone 7.8 officially placed on the upcoming Nokia Lumia 510 entry market device. The device was spotted earlier with Windows Phone 7.5 but there are 7.8 beta builds floating around now too.
In a rather lengthy post, Winp.cp go through and detail all the new features. While there are no huge revelations, there is continued confirmation of rumored new features. So here is what is officially in 7.8 so far:
- New Boot Screen – Reflects Microsoft's new Windows Phone logo and actually matches that of Windows Phone 8
- New Start screen – The earlier confirmed 3-sizes for Tiles
- New Core apps re-design – Xbox Games, Office and Store all get updated with new logos
- 20 Accent colors – We saw this with Windows Phone 8 and now 7 .8 too gets 10 new accent colors (plus one for OEMs or carriers to customize)
- Live Lock screen Wallpaper – Users can now take advantage of Bing wallpaper, which dynamically updates every day. We're not sure if this extendable to third party applications as in Windows Phone 8 but presumably it is possible.
- Nokia Network+ settings – we've seen this in current Lumia 810/820/822 and 920 devices where Nokia adds some advanced network configurations, such as call forwarding, call waiting and SMS options
Finally, there are some advanced changes that only Nokia is applying to their Lumia line as these are OEM customizations. Some of these should make folks very happy:
- Bluetooth sharing of non-DRM multimedia files
- More ringtone editing abilities
- Contact transfer and sharing app upgrade with new features
So there you go, what we know so far about Windows Phone 7.8. What we can now definitively say is yes, it will be more than just a Live Tile update but not nearly as much as everyone will want. OEMs will in fact play just a big a role as Microsoft in increasing functionality of the update if they choose. So far, Nokia seems to be taking the lead with the most additions but we've seen a report just yesterday that HTC may also be adding a few tricks, including the coveted "keep WiFi alive" feature and SMS drafts.
There is still no word on actual distribution of the update but things are starting to fall in place for an early Q1 release.
Thanks, Kaljami for the brochure image and Mohamed A. for the Winp.cn link

Cool. I have the 920 but wouldn't hurt to upgrade the titan
ejlee072006 says:
I want this on my l900
LauraTaylor390 says:
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online(Click on menu Home)
iBandar says:
SO AWESOME !!! Can't wait. They should have named it Windows Phone 8 and not included all the feature that requires hardware change just like what Apple does. They release the new update for all their models but someof the features are missing.
Way to go MS. This is the reason I love you more for not misleading your customers. :)
Jeff Kibuule says:
They didn't do that because Windows Phone 8 apps do not run on older devices.
pulkit10 says:
@jeffkibuule: The same can be said for devices running iOS too. A lot of the newer apps require iOS 4.0 at least alienating anything before the 3GS (still better than 6-month old 900 but you get the point).
wtrmlnjuc says:
No, iOS is more or less the same when it updates, except that older, slower hardware run the apps and OS slower. Actually, some apps from newer versions of iOS can run on older devices.
WP8 completely differs as it's entirely new, and apps are only forward compatable (7.8 to 8) and not backwards compatable.
schlubadub says:
It would lead to mass confusion. "This only runs on WP8", "But I have WP8?", "No, you have WP8 for older devices that isn't the same as WP8 for newer devices"
zekerrific says:
I agree with iBandar that WP7.8 should have been called Windows Phone 8. But you are right about the mass confusion with apps.
Maybe they should have called WP8 something else. They could have called it the WP8 Pro, kind of like they did with the Surface/Surface Pro. Or maybe Windows Mobile 8 (which is a better name than Windows Phone anyway). That would take care of any confusion.
suvastallions says:
Excellence suggestion that "Phone" be replaced with "Mobile". I think they should have kept with the Windows Mobile name instead of trying to sound like Apple's iPhone! Windows Phone sounds boringly dull.
peterfares says:
No they shouldn't because that would be lying. The older iPhones DO get the NEW OS, just without the new features. The new APIs (that their hardware can do) are present and apps designed for the new OS will work on them.
WP7.8 is an evolution of WP7.5 and is nothing like WP8. It still runs the CE kernel and does NOT add the new APIs that are in WP8, not even the ones which are not hardware dependant. WP8 apps will NOT run on WP7.8.
snowmutt says:
+1. Good description.
Wheezle says:
Just on this, surely they'd at least add the new tile APIs. Seems kind of pointless having new tile sizes without the ability to take advantage of them.
zikifer says:
Interesting that the version number is still 7.1 and not 7.2. I think that should signify how much Microsoft actually changed - had it been a large update like mango we would have seen the version bumped to 7.2. Unless maybe they're waiting for the last minute to update that.
Tomasz S. says:
Version was bumped for Mango as the api and sdk changed. I don't think the changes in Apollo will go beyond the UI.
zikifer says:
There should be new API functions to make use of the new tile styles, and apps need to explicitly support the large tile size. But yeah no version bump means no new major feature.
adriel623 says:
Cool. Can't wait to experience the new homescreen and lockscreen on my Titan before I jump to the 920 this Christmas :)
Pricop says:
You won't get the 7.8 upgrade before Christmas, LOL - the update will come next year for sure.
NautBijker says:
WHY? :( why microsoft...
c8m6p says:
7.5 owners have no reason to bitch. In fact 7.5 is more refined and stable than 8 at this point. Eventually the phone team at ms is going to have to focus their efforts more on supporting/refining/updating wp8 than pleasing 7.5 users. I say that as a former 7.5 user myself till recently. I would be real happy with that update.
ejlee072006 says:
I agree
accursedvenom says:
I still have my 7.5 HD7 as tmobile tells me that my upgrade price for the 810 is 167 and change, before tax. I'll be satisfied with 7.8 when they finally release it. It should have been released simultaneously with 8 but that would be nonsensical apparently even though we legacy device owners were/have been onboard with the platform from the beginning.
accursedvenom says:
And a side note, my TOUCHSCREEN phone does not work with halo 4 smartglass because I don't have touch features. Da***? Touchscreen without touch feature? That right there had me thinking of jumping to Android.
WheelmanForHire says:
Microsoft has announced that Smartglass features for Halo 4 are not supported on WP7 devices. Only WP8... and iOS... and Android. And at the rate they are going it will be supported on Blackberry, Symbian, Linux, TI-83 graphing calculators, 1950's punch card computers and abacuses before Microsoft supports the MILLIONS who invested in THEIR devices.
I understand that supporting WP8 encourages adoption of the platform but why, in god's name, can they find the time and energy and resources and financing to support COMPETITION who chooses iOS because they dislike Microsoft. Yet leave loyal supporters who GAVE THEM MONEY in purchase of the device no support.
Microsoft is a family of their biological children (Windows/Office) and constantly neglected adoptive ones (Xbox/Zune/Windows Mobile/Windows Phone/Hardware)
Hoppman says:
I disagree with this, while my Trophy was fast, smooth and stable, so is my Lumia 822, not a single issue with the phone. Now Verizon taking out the group text feature was BS but the phone and OS has been rock solid for me. Love the LTE.
Hoppman says:

Sarang68 says:
judas2100 says:
....i have been hearing abt 7.8 update since may. Frankly, m not excited anymore. Sorry MS :P
schlubadub says:
Many (most?) of us thought it was nothing more than the UI tweak... I stopped being excited about it a long time ago :P I was also super excited about WP8, but no microSD in the flagship phones killed it for me too (I don't like the Ativ). I think I'll wait for 2nd gen models to come out :|
Phil K1 says:
I'll echo that view...to an extent. Im fed up waiting, thats for sure. But LG did the same with their ICS update, promiosed much and didn't deliver. At least this WILL come, if too bloody slowly.
andremr says:
And My LG E 900??? :-(
xconomicron says:
I can't believe LG would do this. I don't own an LG WP...but seriously, this is a literally a stab at MS and it's customers. I will never buy an LG product again because of this.
Billious says:
I'm just going to wait and see - LG have sent through all the previous updates, so there's no logical reason to assume they won't do the same with this one. Still, they don't seem to have a lot of interest in supporting WP users - for example, the compass in mine hasn't worked since day 1, but they're not interested in fixing it, even though it's probably just a firmware issue.
enduracell says:
Personally I want Skype to function exactly as wp8 and I don't care for anything else.
Grzegorz Widla says:
Unfortunately, not going to happen.
kenzibit says:
GREAT, stuff like this make me SUPER HAPPY. Still hanging on to my HTC HD7. Just hope HTC also adds the bluetooth capability in addition to Keep wifi alive. I'm glad r hope we see more ;-)
gfunk84 says:
Do we know if 3rd-party apps will be able to use the largest tile size? Presumably this would require some sort of WP 7.8 SDK update with additional APIs. Will developers even bother to update their apps for 7.8?
MathiasVerden says:
Of course they will. All medium tiles can automatically be downsized as you may know, so it's up to the developer to decide if they wish to include the large tile.
Niavlys77 says:
Really can't wait to get my Lumia 900 to 7.8
eserrano250 says:
So the people hub is part of the core apps. Will it be updated as well to include Rooms? I actually live this feature on WP8 and would like that feature extended in WP7.8 as well.
gerbir21 says:
I recall a previous article mention inclusion of the Rooms feature in 7.8, but haven't seen it mentioned in recent 7.8 news. I hope the 'Rooms' feature is included.
accursedvenom says:
I must have missed that one. What is rooms?
davidtayo says:
A room is a place where some people hide their beds. Some people refer to it as bedroom. Other enclosures too could be referred to as room. So, thanks to me, you now know what rooms are.
alukard says:
I really do like those Chinese version lock screen with the vertical characters. Advantages of the language.
unstoppablekem says:
MathiasVerden says:
Fran_FLV says:
I can't believe that after so long time we don't have screenshot functionality... I'm looking forward to see that functionality deployed on our new but old WP 7.X. BTW: is it so difficult to implement?
Gemini Ace says:
Yes please!
sdreamer says:
Hoping there's a few more goodies in there :D glad to know it just isn't the start screen :)
Oxygen22 says:
I don't want a Q1 release but a Q4 2012 release, at least for Nokia.
ihavewp8 says:
Yup still have my 7.5 and still fast and fluid and battery life awesome with heavy use I can last 1 day. Also no problems since got it 11 months ago
Yaymee says:
That brochure does not say that there will be another update after the WP 7.8 update, where did that come from?
MathiasVerden says:
Pretty much everything I already knew about 7.8. If they don't bring screen capturing to 7.8 no doubt I'm going to flash my device and install Bazaar. More colors, tiles, screenshots and I couldn't care less about Windows Phone 8.
Yaymee says:
Sorry, it does promise updates, not OS updates explicitly, but just updates.
Wevenhuis says:
Will 7.8 be available for all Windows phones? I rwad a lit if Nokia but what about HTC?
Round And Round says:
Yes it will
the_coolestnerd says:
So still no screenshot?
Jakeway says:
I wonder if OneNote is outside Office now?
Notifications, screenshot, full res uploads... If this stuff is in I don't think it would be put onto a brochure. Not really exciting marketing.
hengxiang32401 says:
No, it is still the Office Mobile 14, not be changed to Office 15.
Viipottaja says:
They have to add picture multiselect - I mean come on! :)
rafabr4 says:
Those are great news. Sadly I expected to get Lock Screen Notifications which I really need!! Honestly I didn't think that notifs would need a hardware update or the new kernel... Hope we get a 3rd party app to achieve this.
ejlee072006 says:
Nokia is leading this push because they have to unify all the products that they produce..most of the phones are still selling in small markets around the world. If you all visit Nokia.com I will make more sense..
myjota says:
I believe at last they better organize music hub, i troubled in creating playlist
jcagga says:
You can create the playlist when you tap the bottom left where you see the name of the songs in now playing screen. Once you tap the name of the song, there is save button on mid bottom. So easy to create playlist.
lucktr says:
Woot! Woot! My tiny Radar can't wait for own resurrection :D
pankaj981 says:
Tbh if microsoft doesn't change anything from 7.5 but only brings lock screen notifications a lot of customers will be happy, atleast i will :P
clay113 says:
Not bad I got the 920 but still have my 900 as a back up. Might as well upgrade it.
umang_k91 says:
is there any information on apps resuming if U tap the icons in 7.8 or do they restart like in mango? I really hate it when they restart.. And any news on lock screen notifications for 3rd party apps?
GuilhermeManso says:
And the Zune Music+Videos app? Will be a re-design for this to?? I hope so.
pizzalovinhulk says:
Just bought my 920 black at att for 100$ today
JustinusMaximus says:
No Rooms function?
aubreyq says:
Looking forward to it.
textomatic says:
It would be awesome if 7.8 would come out before Christmas.
Nitaino says:
Awesome! I just want the new start screen any other addition is more than welcome
guillams says:
Ignorant! :P
melvinmajor says:
I hope that this update will give to my HTC Titan X310e issues to my Bluetooth connections bugs and my Wi-Fi detection bugs
scdkad says:
What about option to keep WIFI connected?
Also something I had on my Quantum but not on the L900-screen timeout settings of 15 and 30 minutes and "never"-5 minute limit really sucks..
And equalizer.
pjodm says:
The option for the Lock screen 5 minutes limit is due to the type of Screen. All Super Amoled Display have that limitation dur to the screen deterioration on a long time on. The HTC Titan has a screen that does not have that restriction. But all Samsung Screens that are Super Amoled Display are, even on the Android phones. A big disadvantage for the user who run Maps on a regular basis. I had a Samsung Focus & it was restricted to 5 min until I unlocked it & change the registry to give the option to never. The 920 is the same. 5 minutes. Too bad. I will never get a phone that time out on me. I travel too much & need to keep that screen on for navigation, emails Text.
Hope this help anybody wanting to know the cause of the timeout.
scdkad says:
I ain't buying this explanation. I can keep screen on for hours by constantly turning back on anyway. I can see not having "never" option but at least lets have the 15 minute option.
Also annoying that WiFi disconnects after that 5 minutes too..
Rockartisten says:
Windows Live isn't working anymore if you switch to outlook. My mail "est kaputt". If this doesn't work after the update, I will demand a new phone. Thank the better half of western society that I live in Sweden, because it is actually possible to demand consumer rights.
Jan Rams says:
1.Skype integration
2.Battery level tile
3.start screen (3-sizes for Tiles)
4.offline nokia maps
that is for me important.
schlubadub says:
#3 it is :P
marbig says:
Any word of whether or not text size will be adjustable? Would be great news for my dad haha
himanshushirodkar says:
Seriously only Nokia devices get the good stuff like Bluetooth file sharing? Wtf? What is Samsung doing? Copying apple... Bloody Samsung is total shit... Ya and if I am not wrong then Bluetooth file sharing can be included by MS itself... It doesn't have to be just the OEM.... What shit is this?
spazzmaster says:
Switch to Android before you get a heart attack.
Hope this update comes out in December otherwise I will leave this pathetic OS much sooner than expected.
NautBijker says:
I agree! I own a Lumia 710 myself but it's unfair.
xiontechinfo says:
We should talk to them via twitter that's the solution
himanshushirodkar says:
Samsung cunts don't even bother to reply... Samsung is nothing but absolute shit .. Don't even have the dececy to reply...
inteller says:
please please please! include mms apn settings like in wp8
Raistlin_HT says:
Wonder what the odds are my 1st gen Focus will get this?
Lightmoonwolf says:
i want this update now, but hopefully we will get it soon......
NautBijker says:
Awesome, can't wait!
xiontechinfo says:
Bluetooth file transfer only to lumias :(
marvinrmira says:
ROM 8858 leaked in xda developers yesterday
rocketboy says:
I think I'm just going to stay on the HD7 for a while longer. I would have been ok even had MS stopped supporting at 7.5 but this is a great bonus. The T-Mobile 8x is good but I just couldn't bring myself to ditch my favourable legacy contract for a new one or pay $600 off contract for it.
snowmutt says:
Gonna hang out on my Focus S for at least a few more months, so this will be a fun refresh. Glad to hear their may be more updates in the future. It doesn't replace the fact that WP8 is unmistakably the future, but WP7 is being given a little love. I am looking forward to it.
techgoddess says:
does anyone know when it will be out??? i have a samsung focus flash. will i recive the update or no?
IamNabil says:
The feature I want the most is rooms. :(
Sam Insomniac says:
To say the truth, the 510 is just a fatter..uglier version of the 710. 710 is more bubblier & cuter. i wish if they made a wp8 version with the 710 styling with bigger screen and named it 720.
ScottAB says:
It seems I just might get 7.8 before I get a WP8 phone. All depends on what stock I find at the AT&T store and COSTCO on Tuesday evening.
Ali.Sanaei says:
Will there be more keyboards like the WP8? Specifically I'm looking for Persian.
LauraTaylor390 says:
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online(Click on menu Home)
Owen Johnson says:
I bet it's really comfy in that spam can with your iMac.
qwertyops says:
Can't wait for this release so that I can update my NL900 and my HTC Titan 2 before I give them out as Xmas presents.
chudiezeks says:
I seriously can't wait for this release. Secondly, what are these instagram folks waiting for?!!
Gemini Ace says:
Still no screenshot feature?

- Haiti: Deplorable conditions for cholera patients
- Haiti three years on: Much work remains to improve access to healthcare
- Haiti: Thousands at risk from cholera years after quake
At the end of 2011, almost two years after the earthquake, nearly half a million Haitians were still homeless and living in unhealthy conditions. The health system requires a huge amount of investment in reconstruction.
Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) continued to respond to the cholera epidemic and provide specialist medical care in Port-au-Prince and nearby Léogâne.
Cholera epidemic
The cholera epidemic, which broke out in October 2010, had infected 520,000 people by the end of 2011, killing more than 7,000. MSF treated around 170,000 patients for cholera symptoms during this time, working in 50 facilities across the country.
In Nord department, MSF opened 19 treatment centres and 90 oral rehydration points. Staff treated more than 31,700 patients in Nord department alone.
In the first months of the year, when the number of new patients started to stabilise, MSF began to hand over activities. Staff provided six months of training and logistical support to Ministry of Health workers in Nord department before withdrawing in October.
MSF continued to provide treatment for cholera elsewhere in Haiti, particularly for people suffering complications due to pregnancy or existing chronic diseases.
In May, the rainy season began and the rate of infection rose again. Staff reopened emergency treatment centres in Port-au-Prince, bringing capacity up to 1,000 beds in eight sites.
At the end of the year, cholera was still not under control, and unexpected rises in infection continued to occur.
As long as people are obliged to live in conditions that exacerbate the spread of infectious diseases – half the population of Haiti does not have access to safe drinking water – the resurgence of cholera will be a risk.
MSF spoke out that about the need to strengthen the national surveillance and response systems.
Maternal healthcare
Before the earthquake, MSF's work in Haiti concentrated on maternal healthcare. A large proportion of maternal deaths are due to pregnancy-related hypertension disorders, such as pre-eclampsia, which are treatable, but many women do not have access to emergency obstetric care.
The earthquake destroyed MSF's emergency obstetric hospital in Port-au-Prince. In March 2011, a new referral centre for obstetric emergencies (CRUO) was opened in the neighbourhood of Delmas 33.
This 80-bed hospital offers free 24-hour care to women experiencing serious complications in their pregnancies. Staff at the centre also provide postnatal and neonatal care, family planning, mental healthcare and a programme to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
In 2011, MSF assisted over 4,000 births at the centre, most of which were emergency deliveries.
Port-au-Prince hospitals
At hospitals across the capital, MSF has switched its focus from emergency response to more routine specialist medical services.
Bicentenaire hospital, which had been set up in a former dental clinic just after the quake, was closed in July. It offered emergency care and surgery, paediatric care and mental health services, as well as ambulance referral.
In the hospital and two mobile clinics, Bicentenaire staff saw around 4,000 patients a month in 2011.
In the impoverished neighbourhood of Cité Soleil, MSF staff at the Ministry of Health's Choscal hospital worked in the two operating theatres, the emergency department and the paediatric and maternity wards. They also provided medical and psychosocial care to victims of sexual violence.
MSF's 40-bed emergency and stabilisation centre in Martissant withstood the earthquake. In addition to emergency assistance, the hospital continues to offer maternity care, internal medicine and mental health services.
In Sarthe, MSF runs a centre offering wound care and orthopaedic and reconstructive surgery. Handicap International physiotherapists work with MSF to rehabilitate patients and help them adapt to mobility aids.
In May, MSF's inflatable hospital, set up on school playing fields in the days after the earthquake, was replaced by a new 200-bed hospital in Drouillard district. Drouillard hospital offers a wide range of services and has a specialised burns unit.
Surgeons performed around 20 operations a day, and 29,000 patients were admitted for emergency treatment over the course of the year.
Care outside Port-au-Prince
Léogâne, a city just west of Port-au-Prince, was almost completely destroyed by the earthquake.
In October 2010, MSF replaced the tent hospital it had set up in the city immediately after the earthquake with a semi-permanent container hospital. Chatuley hospital has 160 beds and mainly focuses on trauma and obstetric emergencies. The outpatient department offers basic healthcare to women and children under the age of five.
In Jacmel, in the southeast of the country, MSF began supporting Ministry of Health staff at the Saint Michel hospital directly after the earthquake. Staff provided emergency care, surgery, paediatric and maternal care, as well as mental health services. In February 2011, as emergency needs had abated, MSF withdrew.
At the end of 2011, MSF had 3,872. MSF has worked in the country since 1991.
Patient story
Moïse, 33 years old
"I'm from Bogbanique. The illness began when I was in my garden. I was working. It began all of a sudden. I didn't know what was happening to me. I lost consciousness. Some people took me to the clinic. They put me on a drip.
"I remember that, because that was when I came to. But the medical centre there didn't have the right treatment for me, so they put me on a motorbike and we came to Thomassique. I fainted again. I don't remember arriving here. But now I am conscious again, and I feel better.
"I've seen others with cholera. I don't think I'm any worse off than them, but I'm no luckier either. When this disease gets you, it's life or death."

Webcast: Rain May Ring in the New Year
By: Leah Mazzarelli and Chrs Sheridan
Updated: December 27, 2012
Daytime high temperatures Thursday should crack the 50 degree mark across the area.
Thursday night, that heat will be quick to leave us under mostly clear skies, with temperatures plummetting right back into the mid 20s.
A cold front will pass through overnight bringing Friday's high temperature back down into the low 40s.
We should slowly warm up over the weekend with temperatures getting into the upper 40s on Saturday and lower 50s by Sunday.
We are watching early next week very closely as a low pressure system is developing and expected to bring some rain to the end of 2012.
I think rain chances are pretty good for Monday into Tuesday and may even linger into Wednesday depending on how slowly this system moves.
Temperatures in the early part of next week will be chilly with the overcast skies, however, it is not looking like they will be cold enough to produce any snowfall in the area.
For more headlines and weather, watch the embedded webcast.

dinahanson213 on Aug 30, 2012 at 09:26:36
I love the designs. they are far more better than the boring designs used by most teenagers nowadays. Most of these shirts makes sense too. I just don't understand what is it into shirts that are used by most teenagers with different avatars yet they just draw something there and just say its cool or nice. meh.. ohwels anyways cheers! gotta get one soon!

nice shirt. i saw one of my friends wearing the hoodies. it really looks good.

spunionring on Jul 19, 2012 at 17:51:07
yeah the design is weak, it needs to be more cohesive. Also, hydrogen powered automobiles HAVE been invented havent they? same with robots... imo should be trimmed down to 3-4 "where's my" statements. I really like the "cure" statement, though it might be better as "Where's the cure to *that* disease" so it doesnt make me seem like I have the clap.
fragadella on Jun 27, 2012 at 11:16:46
please reprint hoodie in xsmall
Chaoticnight on May 16, 2012 at 00:35:15
I have mixed feelings on this shirt. I can appreciate the lightheartedness, leading up to a series point . But I understand how you may just want a cute/funny shirt, and the last line makes it unbuyable for some. But what's important is how the designer meant it, and it is what it is. So hopefully those that just want it for the humor can find a shirt with a similar theme somewhere. Also I haven't seen any of the comments yet where people are saying it's emo, but those that are are not understanding the concept of getting a serious message across through humor. Living with an incurable disease, or one that isn't always curable is NOT emo. It is real life.
BTW what I call "true emo" isn't anything to be ashamed of anyway. My zodiac sign is Cancer, and according to Astrology we are a very emotional sign. Emotional in the sense that we take feelings very seriously, and don't forgive easily (I've noticed this for myself anyway)..NOT to be confused with people treating emo as a fad, and who just want attention. Which I do not see in this shirt at all.
jellophono on May 14, 2012 at 21:50:08
They Might Be Giants has a song that basically shares the same lamentations as this design. It's called "The World Before Later On"

I used to own this, and my mom threw it away.

Brilliant Idea, not crazy about the design, but I'm not a designer so what the hell do I know right? Still a punchier font would have been nice.
Amlethus on Mar 23, 2012 at 05:37:43
Really want to see this shirt in the original light grey color again. It looked so much better that way.
laurialigns on Mar 19, 2012 at 18:49:01
I love this shirt. Don't get why everyone is saying the last line is emo. My mom died of type 1 diabetes and I have fibromyalgia, so the last line had somewhat of an impact on me---that doesn't make me emo. Plus, there's no reason why something can't be funny and serious.

I'm going to Cusco tomorrow and will be sleeping at Aguas Calientes May the 29th. I've bought the 7AM-8AM MP-Huayanapicchu ticket.
I have some basic doubts I couldn't exactly find out anywhere.
How do I get there in time?
At what hour should I wake up? Where do I get the bus / van to go there?
Also, my train to Ollant laves at 15h50. Do you guys think I'll be able to get back to Aguas Calientes in time?
Thanks a lot!
Hey everyone,
My husband and in-laws are looking to plan a 2-3d trip to Machu Picchu. We honestly have no idea where to start, and which tours to look for. We are on a budget, but are looking for a good tour. Any recomedations out there for us on which tour companies are the best or where we would start?
I have chronic back pain. Can I buy Vicodin in Cusco pharmacies ?
I'm planning a trip to Peru with my girlfriend. Our base will be Cusco and we still have 4 days free to spend. I was planning to use then to visite Puno.
I've searched but couldn't find any good info about the buses. Would you guys recommend us a "tourist bus"?
My idea was to get one going to Puno and a regular bus going back to Cusco. Is that a good idea?
Is there any place I can book and see the buses schedules so I can plan those days best? All buses websites I've found online lack such info.
Thanks guys
We are a couple travel to Lima in June, will rent private properties to stay. We'd just hang out in a neighborhood where it provides a lots of restaurants & cafes, also near beach. Which neighborhood should we pick? I heard about Miraflores, is that very popular?
Thanks all!
Choosing to trek from Cuzco to MP in late May. Are there any suitable place to mount the tent and is it really prohibited to make fire on the trek?
Hi guys!
I continue on my quest to make up a decent itinerary for my trip to Peru which is gonna happen 2 weeks from now.
After my Cusco itinerary taken care of, I need to decide what I'm gonna to with the rest of my time.
I'll take a night bus to Arequipa May the 30th and arrive there early in the morning of July the 1rst.
My plane back home leaves from Cusco June the 5th, in the afternoon.
My rough plan is
June – 1 - Arrive at Arequipa, tour the city
June – 2 - Tour to Colca Canyon
June – 3 - Titicaca
June – 4 -
June – 5 - Back to Cusco
I have a few questions I was hoping you guys could help me.
1 – I'm finding it hard to come up with a tour around Arequipe the first day. Do you guys have anny suggestion? Should I hire a tour or do it by muself? Also, is there any places you guys would recommend hiring at least a guide (such as Convento de Santa Calatina)?
2 – After the tour, on June the 2nd, hould I take a bus to Puno bu myself, sleep there and take a tour to Titicaca the next morning? Or should I stay ate Arequipa and hire a tour that leaves from there?
3 – I still have one day left. Any ideas what I could do with it? I thought I maybe could get back to Cusco em try a daytip from there. Maybe to the salt mines I've heard about. Or maybe try some daytrip to the jungle. Is there such a thing?
I'm used to organizing my trips by myself, but I'm finding Pery a hard one. Any help from you guys is much appreciated!
Hi. I'm looking at backpacking Cuzco Peru and wondering if anyone can offer advice. I'm going solo and it will be my first ever time going so far alone. As a female I am worried but trying not to be so I am asking for some advice on the state of hostels, transport to and from the airport, getting around etc. Any tips that would yey or ney the whole trip idea.
I'm also contemplating Panama city as well. I'll be leaving from Calgary which does not offer much by way of all inclusives so again going to do the backpack thing. Panama I would like to see a beach so any ideas on how or where to go from the heart of the city would be great.
Hello Travel Experts!
We just booked our international tickets to Peru and I need some help planning my itinerary there. We're getting into Lima on June 28th and will be headed back to the US on July 7th. Here's what I have so far:
June 29th- morning flight to Puerto Maldonado - 3 nights in Refugio Amazonas
July 2nd - fly to Cucsco (afternoon flight) - 2 nights in Cusco (tues, wed nights)
July 4th (thu) - stay in olly (SV sights, Pisac)
July 5th (Fri) - early morning train to MP, spend day in MP, stay in Aguas calientes - Friday night
July 6th (Sat) - train back to Cusco. Spend last day and night relaxing in Cusco
July 7th (Sun) - early morning flight to Lima, intl flight back to US at 2:15 in the afternoon.
Couple of questions regarding this itinerary:
1. Does it make sense to spend 3 nights in PEM, or should I make it 2 nights and spend 1 extra day in the Cusco region?
2. With my current itinerary - I have 3 nights for Cusco - is that too much? Should I instead head back to Lima on July 6th Saturday and spend the day and night in Lima?
3. Is one night enough in Olly? I can also do 1 night in cusco, 2 nights in Olly, and then 1 night again in Cusco on the way back on Sat night?
Would love some feedback!!
By the way, we were thinking Refugio Amazonas for the rainforest stay - anyone have any feedback on that?
I'm looking for things to do in Peru other than Machu Picchu, I don't really want to visit the same tourist spots that everyone else visits, does anyone know of some interesting places to visit that aren't swamped with tourists?
I've been travelling for just over a year now with my 15" Macbook, and it's been wonderful. I spend a lot of time on my computer because I work from it wherever I go, and it's very important to me.
My travel style is as minimalistic as possible (except when it comes to technology), normally Ill go around with a carryon luggage and a big backpacker bag, with several smaller bags in the backpacker bag (eg. laptop bag, backpack), and I travel pretty much on a whim (eg. I never know where I'm going more than 1-2 weeks in advance of going there). Generally I do pretty much calm stuff like beaches and temples and take it easy, and I try to stay out of big cities, but I may be doing some stuff in the Amazon soon (no cliff jumping or windsurfing or anything like that). Overall I would say it's possible that I'll go anywhere, except for warzones and other similarly dangerous places.
I like speed on my laptops and have been feeling like getting a bigger screen to really feel more at home and luxurious on the go, with a faster processor as I multitask quite a lot. I've been a computer guy for while so I am sold on the technical aspects of it, though I've heard of lots of perpetual travellers ditching their bigger laptops for 11" and 13" and similar, but I couldn't work on that small a computer regularly. My question is that based on this style of travel, does anybody have experiences travelling with a 17" Laptop, and would it be better to use a 15"?
Hello everyone!
We are experienced travelers but this will be our first time to South America.
We just booked a flight to Lima from December 22, 2013 to January 4, 2014 - All 14 days.
We are in our 40's, we are NOT backpackers, we like the AC and hot shower, we don't like mass (organized) tourism and prefer to go everywhere on our own. If we rent a car while traveling we usually don't make hotel reservations and drive until we find a town that captures our heart. We like good surprises and unpredictability. We rather fly than take a train and we rather take a train than take a bus (oh those bus drivers in Vietnam - they really are......different). We rather eat at the market with locals than at the hotel. We don't mind if our food is wrapped in the newspaper but we don't like cockroaches in our hotel room. We enjoyed rural Laos as much as we enjoyed Paris.
You got the picture ;-)
My questions are:
1. What should we see in Peru other than Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu? We like seafood, cute little friendly towns/beach towns, authentic villages etc.
2. How much time should we spend in Lima if we are not that much interested in museums but would love spending our time sampling Peruvian cousine (seafood only! NO meat!), visiting local markets and walking around admiring the city. 2 nights on arrival and 2 nights before departure? Is that enough? Would that leave us enough time to see other places?
3. Altitude sickness. If we are not planning to chew on coca leaves ;-) are there any good remedies available locally? Oxygen in a can? - as you can see I know nothing about it, but I would hate feeling miserable in one of the most beautiful place on earth.
4. Peru during X-mass and New Years Eave? Is it more challenging? If we won't make our bookings now, is it going to be fully booked in December?
5. Generally... What to do? Where to go?
We would love to hear your stories!!!!!!
I do read guide books and do diligent research on line, but the best and most interesting advices are always from those who just came back :-)
Thank You!!!!!
I am with a group of 5 other young seniors who would like to arrange a trip to Peru (doing the highlights) and would like suggestions. We don't want to trek and might like the option of 2 days at Machu Picchu. Any suggestions of a good travel company and any other information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi, my girlfriend and I are taking a trip to Peru this month.
We're planning on arriving to Cuzco May the 28th early in the morning and leaving at July the 3rd, at 15h40.
That's our main plan, but if absolutely necessary in order to be abble to se what we want, we may be abble to get there at May the 25th, at 11 AM.
So, in the most probable scenerario we'll have 6 full days to spend there. In the other scenerario we'll have 9 days.
My doubt is about our itinerary. There are things I absolutely would like to see, but they are so far apart. Machu Picchu, are the number one, of course. But I'd love to get to know Titicaca and the Nazca Lines.
Is that even possible in our timeframe?
What would you guys recommend us as a rough itinerary for those days?
Thanks a lot guys!

Election 2012: State Ballot Question Results
Voters made decisions on car repairs, assisted suicide and medical marijuana in the statewide election.
Question 1: Right to Repair Voters approved the "Right to Repair" ballot question, which would give consumers more choices when fixing a car in today's election. According to numbers on boston.com, 85 percent of voters approved the question, with 51 percent of the state reporting at 10:15 p.m. The initiative requires automakers to make computer software codes for repairs more accessible to independent repair shops and car owners by 2015. But in July, state legislators devised a compromise that would give carmakers until 2018 to comply with the new law, according to a Boston Globe report. By approving Question 1, voters trumped that compromise and enacted the "Right to Repair" act as written on the ballot. "Voters sent a clear message to …

In his first State of the Union address since winning re-election, Obama conceded economic revival is an "unfinished task," but he claimed clear progress and said he prepared to build on it as he embarks on four more years in office.
"We have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is strong," Obama said in an hour-long address to a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions.
Roman and Democratic National Committee member Wendy Davis felt Obama talked in a very inclusive way that welcomed Democrats and Republicans alike.
"I thought the president did an outstanding job," Davis said. "I thought his tone was very much in line with 'we're all in this together and people expect us to get the job done.' I think that, as citizens, that's what we're looking to hear."
Yet with unemployment persistently high and consumer confidence falling, the economy remains a vulnerability for Obama and could disrupt his plans for pursuing a broader agenda, including immigration overhaul, stricter gun laws and climate change legislation.
In specific proposals for shoring up the economy in his second term, an assertive Obama called for increased federal spending to fix the nation's roads and bridges, the first increase in the minimum wage in six years and expansion of early education to every American 4-year-old.
He mentioned Georgia's lottery-funded pre-kindergarten program as an example of this.
"I was also excited hear the shout out to Georgia on what we're doing right as far as our pre-K program," Davis said, adding that his remarks on modernizing ports were important for people in Savannah to hear.
Layla Shipman, director of public relations for the Floyd County Republican Party, responded to Obama's talk about high quality pre-K in every state and better high schools by questioning how these improvements would be funded.
"We're facing layoffs in Floyd County, as are other school systems around the country," Shipman said, referencing the county schools' Reduction In Force plan announced last week.
"How are you going to be able to do that?" Shipman continued.
Obama called for raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 by 2015. The minimum wage has been stagnant since 2007, and administration officials said the increase would strengthen purchasing power. The president also wants Congress to approve automatic increases in the wage to keep pace with inflation.
Looking for common ground anywhere he could find it, Obama framed his proposal to boost the minimum wage by pointing out that even his GOP presidential rival liked the idea. He said, "Here's an idea that Gov. Romney and I actually agreed on last year: Let's tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it finally becomes a wage you can live on."
Shipman said the president's speech was much of the same as last year's address and offered no real solutions or steps to solve the nation's economic situation.
"There are still many people in this town as well as all over the country that have been unemployed for years or are underemployed," Shipman said.
"We are still in a financial crisis and people are fearing for their jobs daily. I don't see raising minimum wage to $9 an hour as beneficial. It's great to have those working in the service industry make a higher wage, but that has to be paid by somebody."

Batida (180 gram pressing)
LP (Item 602692) Soundway (UK), 2012 — Condition: New Copy
The first-ever contemporary recording on Soundway – but a set that's still got firm roots in the 70s African scene that's usually represented by the label! Batida is the brainchild of Portuguese DJ Mpula – who brings together samples from older Angolan recordings with contemporary beats and rhythms – often in a blend that's got the quick-stepping sort of pace you'd hear in favela grooves from the Brazilian scene – yet which comes across completely differently, thanks to the rich array of acoustic elements in the original recordings! There's loads of sweet guitar lines that rifle through the music – and the set also features guest contributions from contemporary MCs and producers. Titles include "Alegria", "Pronta Pra Batida", "Puxa", "Bazuka", "Ka Heueh", "Saudade", "Cuka", and "Tirei O Chapeu". (Includes download.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

very good project, thanks!Good,good,good.+1
Thanks for Gnuplot, it's good!
great program all around, only complaint, just wish it had some sort of quick lil getting started guide, considering thats my only complaint, always have this installed on my comp.
Once you've got the hang of it, gnuplot is simply fantastic. In particular, the built-in interpolation methods work really well, in fact much better than what is available in some math front-ends such as Maxima. Add to that the new pdfcairo terminal and you've got a winner. Works really well in conjunction with pdfTeX and the results look simply superb!
One of the fundamental plotting software for serious graphing. Completely scriptable, it requires some effort at the beginning to understand the way to use it. The results definitely worth it.
I use it for scientific data and gnuplot's command line driven approach is simply great ! small things could improve but on the all a MUST

BREAKING NEWS: Hammers up Olsson bid
6:05pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Sport By Andy Cryer , Blackburn Rovers reporter
WEST Ham United have increased their offer for Blackburn Rovers' Martin Olsson.
The Hammers are understood to have now bid in the region of £4million for the Swedish international - just 24 hours after manager Sam Allardyce said they were unlikely to raise their bid from an initial £2m.
Olsson would be interested in a move to the Premier League, although sources close to the player insist he won't force a switch, bur Rovers remain keen to hold on to him.
West Ham are waiting for a final answer but the Lancashire Telegraph understand owners Venky's have again been advised to reject it.

Hi forum
I have a customer who need to show an external page in a shadowbox in their virtual tour.
I have struggled to get it to work, but with no luck in the version of krpano as PanoTour Pro uses.
I've found this link http://virtualtuur.com/shadowboxtest/ on krpano's forum where a user has created exactly what I want. I just can not get it to work :-(
I have tried everything from modifying the swfkrpano.js file to changing the html and xml files, but nothing works.
This is the link to the description at krpano forum: http://krpano.com/forum/wbb/index.php?p … #post36534
If there is someone who is fresh at making a small guide for how it's done, or if you have input and ideas are very welcome.
I am sure this is a feature a lot of us can use. In this way you can embed youtube videos, flipbook pdf's, online booking formulars etc. without leaving the tour.
Thanks in advance

Totally understand you Henrik I also desperatly need to know how to do it.
I can only suppose that you have to assign a Javascript function to a hotspot and put the shadow box script in you html with the tour. (and of course put the shadowbox into the tour folder)
They thing I do not know - is what exactly should be written in tour's html and waht code is responsible for activating a shodowbox from a panorama hotspot (this is definetly not rel="shadowbox")
You can look at the HTML code of the virtual tour linked by Henrik.
The code is quite simple :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="shadowbox.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="shadowbox.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Shadowbox.init({ troubleElements: ["select", "canvas"] }); function openShadowbox(content, player, title){ content = content.replace(/'/g, ""); player = player.replace(/'/g, ""); title = title.replace(/'/g, ""); Shadowbox.open({ content: content, player: player, title: title }); } </script>
The future version of Panotour Pro will include directly a plugin that will enable the display of a box over the tour. You will not need to code anything then.
This box will fit all the needs explained in Henrik's post.
Hi Gerald
I am sure that PTP 2.0 will be everything that i am looking for, and after a e-mail from Alexandre a few days ago, i am getting even more excited!
But in the meanwhile i must try to handle my customers needs in other ways...(not to be missunderstood :-)
Do you know how to trigger the shadowbox from PTP. What should I write in the JS form under hotspots?
I guess im also having zorder or transparency problems, but i am not sure...
Last edited by Virtuel Rundtur (2012-12-11 10:14:29)
If the JS function that opens the shadowBox is the above "openShadowBox", then in the JS field of the hotspot, you should enter something like that :
openShadowbox(http://rundtur.dk/toppano/index1.html, iframe, a title)
Finally got it working!
My bad. It was flash blocking to execute external site from my local pc.
Uploaded it to my web server, and it worked fine!
I will call my customer with the good news!!!!
Thank you Gérald for excellent support!!!
I will make a small tutorial later to share with other "not so skilled programmers" :-)
It works!!!!
All I can say is - I love you bdd Adnministrator)
Oh and does anyone know why if you set wmode="transparent" or wmode="opaque" the tour gets kind of jerky and slow - can it be somehow fixed. Unfortunately this shadowbox variant doesn't work properly withput wmode="transparent" or wmode="opaque"command so deleting it is not anoption
This is a fact, but why are you allowing the auto pano while viewing the contents of a shadowbox anyway.. You really need to pause before viewing, especially when viewing video.. It will also depend on your PC or Mac and the type of media being viewed too..
What I would like to see with the new ptp V2 when set to auto rotate, is an option to automatically pause the rotate while viewing media content like a video or slideshows in a shadowbox window.. It then restarts rotating automatically when the shadowbox is closed.. This will avoid the issue..
It will probably not be an actual shadowbox with V2 anyway, but it will be a similar box opening, so it might have similar issues.. I tend to set my VR with shadowbox media content to pause automatic rotate... I cannot wait to see what V2 will bring us...
I have been getting emails from easy pano for over a year suggesting that their Tour software is almost there.. To be honest, it looks tacky so when they finally get it all working, I cannot see it standing up against kolor ptp V2... My advise to anyone if easy pano is released before ptp V2, is to most defiantly hold off buying it since it will not be long before ptp V2 is available for beta testing....
This test of mine uses two options, one in a shadowbox and the other is a JavaScript call... They both work really well but if I set the pano to auto rotate, it might get jerky... Like I said above, it does depend on the media being viewed but it still best to pause before viewing other media..

Hi Guys,
Allright so here is my situation:
I have a panotour VT embed into a html page with hotspots that are to display content of another html page in a shadowbox.
This example is what im trying to achieve
I have this javascript function on the page where the VT is embed :
<script type="text/javascript">
function openShadowbox(content, title){
content: content,
title: title
How do I call my function in Hotspot properties in panotour?
Ive tried like : openShadowbox(toppano/page1.html, a title) , openShadowbox('toppano/page1.html', 'a title'), the same with "onclick=" at the beginning...
How do I write it?When I click on the hotspot nothing happens
Im developing it locally on Wamp.. I've allowed my Wamp folder, the panotour folder in Global Security Settings panel of Flash player..still doesn't work..
The shadowbox works coz Ive tried it with a normal <a> link
I really need some help on that! Thanks
First you need to assign a javascript to a hotspot. Wrtie openShadowbox(1.html, iframe, a title) change only 1.html to the desired link. Than write exactly the same cpde that is written in the 3rd post of this thread by bdd Administrator in your virtual tour .html. (the script you wrote above doesn't even have links to shadowbox.js and css). - copy the shadowbox files directly into the folder with your virtual tour .html.
Upload you tour to a web-server as the JS does not work on a local host (make sure you have written the domain name in the tour properties - otherwise it will give you a license error). Well you wrote that you allowed the domains and you use web-emulators instead of the web-server so that is probably not the issue.
I have given the shadowbox a miss to avoid issues with video.. A shadowbox is great for many things since its rock solid.. With video however, it does tend to cause some small issues.. I am currently experimenting with placing the Streaming YouTube directly into the pano.. Since there is no shadowbox, you can drag it where you want too.. http://members.westnet.com.au/dps/js/Yo … uTube.html It works on my iPod too so it should be fine with an iPad..
Hi Forum,
I'm also stuck with this.
In my case I want to actually display a HTML file in the shadowbox to act as a fact sheet on the particular part of the tour.
I've followed the instructions from the 11th post of this thread and my shadowbox opens, but the HTML tour referenced does not display.
The following is what is in the Javascript field of the hotspot properties:
openShadowbox(test.html, iframe, a title)
test.html is also located in the same folder as my virtualtour.html file.
The following is what I added in the head tag of the virtualtour.html file (I've also tried it in the body tag with no difference in result).
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="shadowbox.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="shadowbox.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Shadowbox.init({ troubleElements: ["select", "canvas"] }); function openShadowbox(content, player, title){ content = content.replace(/'/g, ""); player = player.replace(/'/g, ""); title = title.replace(/'/g, ""); Shadowbox.open({ content: content, player: player, title: title }); } </script>
The result is that when I click on the hotspot it opens the shadowbox but doesn't display anything in it (it's just black).
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Also can anybody advise what code I need to add (and where) to pause the auto-rotation when the shadowbox opens, and then start it again when the shadowbox closes?
As you've probably gathered by now I'm not a coder so any advice is appreciated.
Did you remember to upload it to a web server, or else it wont work....

Hi Henrik,
Yes I did remember that and have since found the problem.
The HTML was in fact showing all along but I couldn't see it due to a very simple problem. The shadowbox is black and I had normal black text in my HTML file with no background colour defined. As a result I had black text on a black background so couldn't see it. I've formatted the HTML background, font colours, etc properly and problem sovled.
Does anybody know how what code I need to add (and where) to pause the auto-rotation when the shadowbox opens, and then start it again when the shadowbox closes?
Hi, Im trying to add this code to show a video on my Pano with the shadow box, because as mentioned above, I have autorotate enabled and its distracting. Havnt been able to figure out where I need to add the code after browsing with Dreamweaver through the Tour files.
If anyone could explain this a bit more in detail for a beginner who knows some about coding but not much.
Also, if I could pause when the video starts, it would be best. Someone mentioned that I need to disable autorotate, the code autorotate, enabled, false and autorotate.enabled, true when the video shows or not. havnt been able to accomplish this. If anybody has please let me know.
many thanks in advance!
Ive done as suggested above, and wrote both code to the .html tour page, and js code to java script link in PTP, but nothing happens. I read above to add the shadowbox files to same directory, both .css and .js. Any ideas on where to get those files from or how to build them? Would this be why it isnt working?
Many thanks!

D-backs trade rumors swirling again
Originally published: Dec 11, 2012 - 4:00 pm
One of the busiest and most-talked about teams at the Nashville gathering was the Arizona Diamondbacks, and apparently GM Kevin Towers is at it again.
According to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the D-backs are involved in a three-team trade with the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians.
Hoynes writes that Cleveland would send outfielder Shin-Soo Choo to Cincinnati for outfielder Drew Stubbs and shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius.
Cleveland would then flip Gregorius to the Diamondbacks in exchange for young pitching, either Tyler Skaggs or Trevor Bauer.
Gregorius, 22, is a left-handed hitting shortstop who split time last season between Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Louisville, hitting .265 with seven home runs and 54 runs batted in over the course of 501 minor league at-bats. He committed 18 errors in 122 games.
The native of Amsterdam, The Netherlands was considered by most publications a top ten prospect in the Reds organization prior to the 2012 season. He did appear in eight games at the big-league level after being called up in September.
Gregorius also played in the Arizona Fall League with the Peoria Javelinas, batting .278 with one homer and eight RBI in 74 at-bats.
Skaggs and Bauer both reached the Major Leagues in 2012 after being rated as top ten prospects in all of baseball. Skaggs made six starts, going 1-3 with a 5.83 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 29.1 innings.
Bauer made four starts for Arizona, going 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA. He struck out 17 batters, but struggled with his control, issuing 13 walks in 16.1 innings. Bauer was named the Diamondbacks' Minor League Pitcher of the Year.

While some commercial fishing permits on the Chatham Islands allow rock lobsters to be taken by free diving, the use of underwater breathing apparatus was totally prohibited, said Murray Pridham, Dunedin MFish District Compliance Manager.
"The illegal use of underwater breathing apparatus on the Chathams has been a persistent problem for some time and has caused considerable conflict within the fishing industry on the Chathams," Mr Pridham said.
Fishery Officers carried out surveillance of the commercial fishers earlier in the year and obtained video footage of illegal activity. Consequently, the Ministry last week (25 May) seized three commercial fishing vessels, and is holding them at the Chatham Islands. The three fishers concerned are assisting Fishery Officers with their enquiries.
Mr Pridham said it was expected that charges would be laid against the fishers. If convicted, they could face maximum fines of $250,000, and forfeiture of their fishing vessels and illegal fishing equipment.
For further information please contact
Murray Pridham, District Compliance Manager, Dunedin

Osi is moving on from the Giants.. He started only 11 games the last 2 years (2011 - holdout/injury, 2012 - played in 16 started 4) and had 15 sacks.. Shaun Phillips started 28 games the last 2 years and had only 13 sacks.. Just saying, another veteran OLB/DE to take into consideration. The price tag on guys like Phillips, Osi, and Harisson can't be that high on guys that are 32+ next season..
Both. Get one in the 2nd or 3rd, and sign a mid tier vet to keep the spot warm for a year or 2 until the rookie is ready
Kind of depends on what happens over the next couple months. If solid players like Derek Cox, Brent Grimes, or Keenan Lewis become available, and are healthy and affordable, it'd be great to just get rid of CB as a need heading into the draft. That way we could go OT, OT, OG in the first 3 rounds.
I'd draft a CB, but a raw one. In the later rounds. Gilchrist will most likely play the Charles Woodson role next year if our coach is smart. Nickel CB/FS. Signing a vet CB is key, draft a raw one in this years draft, and next year there will be 2 top-15 caliber CB's in next years draft in Quandre Diggs and Bradley Roby. Don't believe me? Watch the tape, both are sophomores heading into junior year and both will dominate next years CB class. Thats where we get our starter for years to come. So whether its re-signing our own in Cason, I'd still go out and get another CB in FA, draft a raw one, and hope everything plays out for the best. So I'd have Sharecee Wright, Marcus Gilchrist, Cason or Free Agent, Free Agent, Rookie
There are some good T's in FA. Poaching a bookend in FA would take some pressure off the draft. I would personally drive a Mack truck full of cash to Minny to poach Loadholt. Throw Branden Albert into that mix as well. If Andre Smith can prove this year wasn't just for a sweet contract, he'd be worth a look as well. Any of these three would be ten times better than what we have now.
Red, are you predicting another 6-10/7-9 season for the Chargers? Will that even be bad enough to get one of those players, or are you suggesting a 5-11 season is on the way?
Yeah this makes sense. It seems like we are continuously looking for a CB. Maybe the new coach can bring one of his guys to fill the spot (as long as he is decent). Hopefully they will evaluate the "talent" that we have an adjust accordingly.
The FA WR list this offseason is amazing, and the tackles look pretty good too. I think that two players we should look into, if they somehow are not franchised/extended, are Connor Barwin and Dashon Goldson. I know that Goldson plays FS for the 49ers, but I think that a backfield of Goldson and Weddle could be monstrous. I think that some well-spent money at Tackle, Safety, and Rush LB and we're probably looking at a 5 win swing if paired with a quality draft. Norv is gone, and hope springs eternal.
I'd only look at O linemen in FA. Would not be all that interested in Loadholt. I'd love Clady but know we have no shot there, probably the same for Long. Vollmer the German might be interesting. Britton, listed as a Guard played Tackle in college if I recall correctly. He could be one to watch. I still want one of those young OTs coming in the draft though over a corner. Can Osi be a 3-4 end I'm not so sure?, Barwin or Spencer could be nice adds esp if we lose SP and dump English. Goldson at safety would be an upgrade over what we have there save Weddle.
The name that really sticks out to me at WR is Ramses Barden 6'6" 224 in the 3 games he filled in for Nicks he was ballin' and the best part he would come pretty cheap, yet we have Floyd, Alexander, Brown, Royal, Meachem (sigh) re-sign Phillips, Novak, Vasquez, Cason, Franklin. what do you guys think of bringing in 2 pass rushers Laboy and Merriman?
He was extremely effective, and is probably only going to be a FA because NYG won't want to pay for a 3rd receiver to be buried behind Nicks and Cruz. What makes you think he'll be cheap? I don't know about resigning Phillips. If we can't get a deal done with anyone better, or he'll come for a cheap contract, then sure, but otherwise his performance is likely to see a continual decline.
at best he'll get a James Jones type contract which is a 3 year @ 9 mil. and that's being generous. I don't see him exactly getting a Fitzgerald/Megatron type deal or even a Desean/ Vincent Jackson deal anytime soon. Plus with teams fighting over Jennings, Wallace, Bowe, Welker, Amendola, and even Hixon (who has had a more productive career) Barden IMO would come cheap, most likely on a 1 year "show me what you can do" I hope Phillips at this point in his career may give us a hometown discount
Yeah Ramses Barden would fit this offense real nicely. But one can only dream of having a WR corps containing Floyd, Alexander, Meachem, Barden, Brown, and Royal. Patrick Chung will be a FA, I'd give him a look at SS. Hard hitter, and knows how to tackle. Stevie Brown as well.. Osi can play in the 3-4 for sure, so you'll have Osi, Harrison, Avril, Barwin, Freeney, and Kruger at the OLB position. I honestly don't see the Chargers making a play for any of those guys, I see them signing a guy like Trevor Scott from the Pats whose been a solid rotational player in there 4-3, he's fit for the 3-4 as well. So you'll have Johnson and Ingram as your starters, with Barnes, Scott, and a rookie rotating in. Wouldn't mind it.
I'd be focusing on replacing Gaither/Clary, Cason then Franklin/Phillips. I like Barwin I like Osi but I'd happily pass both those guys up if it means I can throw much needed money at Albert or Long or (if by some miracle) Clady.
I get where you're coming from, but I also look at the draft this year and can't help but think that Tackle is the strong point. What other position are we going to be able to improve at 11th overall as much as we'll be able to improve at OT? The only one that pops up to me would be pass-rusher, and if we sign an OT as a FA and draft a pass-rusher, or sign a pass-rusher as a FA and draft a tackle, does it make a difference?
I said top 15.. it's rare two CB's go top 10.. It'll be similar to Ryan Mathews when we traded up 16 spots to land him, it was a glaring need after a vet left. Plus you don't know the circumstances of other teams as well so.. And also, Quandre Diggs, top corner in the nation most likely next year, is brother of Quentin Jammer.. But Diggs looks all around better than his brother did at Texas..
Have you completely missed the past 6 years of annual trade-ups resulting in talent black holes across the roster? Do you think trading up for Mathews was somehow a good idea?
Well tbh, I don't think we'll be finishing 13-3 in 2013 and picking 28th.. so, this will most likely be 5-10 spots max.. its a need, and if it results in you landing a franchise CB in Diggs or Roby I'm all for it, we need a cornerstone in the secondary with this young upcoming defense, and Cason isn't the answer.
We needed a RB in 2010, that turned out well. We needed a FB when we drafted Hester. We needed a safety in Weddle because Smith was a moron and picked Buster in the first. We needed a QB in 1998. Trading away first and second round picks (which is the cost when you move up 5-10 spots into the top 5-10 picks) is a guaranteed way to set your franchise back for years.
I am normally against trading up, but there are cases where it works out. Getting Julio Jones seemed to work out for the Falcons, or Broncos trading up to get Damaryius Thomas. Granted, these are only 2 cases in 10+ trades in the last couple drafts, but i am just pointing out that it is not always bad and doesn't always result is killing the future of your franchise

Two bombs were discovered Tuesday inside the bunker where an FBI team rescued a 5-year-old boy from his kidnapper, the agency said.
The FBI said they "disrupted" the two explosive devices. One was in the bunker and another was in the PVC pipe that hostage taker Jimmy Lee Dykes sometimes used to communicate with the authorities, Special Agent in Charge Steve Richardson said in a written statement.
The agency sent in a hostage rescue team after negotiations broke down with Dykes, who apparently had bombs in the bunker and shot at agents when they stormed the bunker.
The search for other bombs will continue Wednesday, Richardson said.
Dykes had held a 5-year-old named Ethan since abducting him from his school bus.
Ethan's mother said she awoke Tuesday to what she will forever remember as "the most beautiful sight ... my sweet boy."
For almost a week, Ethan, had been held by Dykes until an FBI team rescued him Monday afternoon.
Mother and child were reunited at a hospital.
"I can't describe how incredible it is to hold him again," the mother, who has not been publicly named, said in a written statement. "Ethan is safe and back in my arms, and I owe it all to some of the most compassionate people on Earth."
Ethan was released from the hospital Tuesday afternoon, Alabama state trooper Kevin Cook said.
