Remember the MMMMMBop of the Hanson brothers a few years back? Yeah, that brother band was hot like the Jonas', but not quite, but they did pave the way for little brothers in the industry.
More pictures after the skip…
Taylor Hanson, who is the middle brother of the three brothers from the singing sensation just announced he and his wife are expecting baby #4. Number FOUR!! Taylor and his wife are only 25 and 26 years old and they will have four kids! What are they thinking?!?! Maybe they have a lot of nannies?
The other two brothers are each married and have kids though too. Maybe their family believes in young marriage and procreation…because they are certainly doing it well. Older brother Hanson has two children and younger already has one. Are they in a race for something here?

All I have to say is this, have you seen this man!?! I don't blame his wife for getting pregnant so many times, that gene pool needs to continue. Plus that's just what happens when you feel a constant need to jump your husbands bones. More power to them, it's not like they're making a bunch of kids they can't provide for and family is obviously important to them.

For now, just these four because I need the purple, black, and white ones and I'm giving the grey one to a follower of mine who asked before I decided to do this.
Rules are simple:
One like, one reblog gets you two chances to win.
Four winners are chosen, first place gets their pick of all four, second gets their pick of the remaining three, ETC.
I'll wash em and package em off to you, the winner. Most of these have literally only been worn once. Some just for these stupid pictures. I have no idea the sizes, they're all from ebay.
We'll let this run until… February 15th. Then I'll pick winners.

Augusta County is making some aggressive moves to lure new business, grow existing employers, and attract more tourism dollars. That new effort began Monday on several fronts.
Some of these moves will not cost the county any money because they involve a shifting of job duties, and a move into higher profile office space. But Augusta Supervisors also ordered an engineering study of improvements to its mostly-vacant industrial park. Surveyors are taking their first steps toward major improvements to Augusta County's Mill Place Commerce Park.
Supervisors have agreed to spend about $80,000 to extend the main access road into Staunton's nearby industrial park, improving access to both. Step two would be creating a "pad-ready" lot of up to 40 acres, where a new tenant could quickly set up shop.
"When they do make decisions and are ready to go, they want to go right now. Time in the market is critical. You could look at anywhere from a six- to a nine-month savings on time, if it's pad-ready and ready to go," said Augusta Economic Director Dennis Burnett.
As Augusta throws out the welcome mat at its commerce park, It does the same thing in its own government center by moving the economic development offices out of the basement and just inside the front door.
"It's as much as a message to the business and industry communities that we are easily accessible and want to foster business development and growth," Burnett.
The director is also getting some help from Augusta County's first tourism specialist. Jessica Staples, Augusta tourism specialist, makes that lateral move from the department of parks and recreation where she gained experience working with special events and heritage tourism sites.
"The Fields of Gold and the Artisan Trail are tourism-related, however, they do promote again working with economic development and promoting the small businesses and industries in the county," said Staples.
Staples and Burnett moved into their side-by-side offices this week. Staples says one priority will be helping promote agritourism, such as the Hermitage Hill Stables, and the Barren Ridge Vineyards.
For several years, Augusta has averaged $2.5 million in lodging and meals taxes.

If I'm not mistaken, Napa Gold has the proper relief valve pressure, there's also a purolator one, but my impression is that it makes contact with the headers. Frankly, just order a pack of Subaru filters online and call it a day.

A California ban on "conversion therapy" for minors, which seeks to turn gay teens straight, the first of its kind in the country, has been upheld.
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld the nation's first-of-its-kind law in California prohibiting health practitioners from offering psychotherapy aimed at making gay youth straight.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that the state's ban on so-called conversion therapy for minors doesn't violate the free speech rights of licensed counselors and patients seeking treatment.
The activities of pastors and lay counselors who are unlicensed but provide such therapy through church programs would not be covered under the law.
The case before the appeals court was brought by professionals who practice sexual-orientation change therapy, two families who say their teenage sons benefited from it, and a national association of Christian mental health counselors. They argued the ban infringes on their free speech and freedom of association and religious rights. The counselors also argue it jeopardizes their livelihoods.
Related: Gay-to-straight therapy bans spreading
However, in a 3-0 ruling, the court panel held that California has the power to prohibit licensed mental health providers from administering therapies deemed harmful, and the fact that speech may be used to carry out those therapies does not turn such bans into prohibitions of speech.
The law says therapists and counselors who treat minors with methods designed to eliminate or reduce their same-sex attractions would be engaging in unprofessional conduct and subject to discipline by state licensing boards.
Supporters, including Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris, say the ban is necessary to protect children from a coercive practice that can put them at increased risk of suicide. They also say the therapy's efficacy has been questioned or rejected by every major mental health professional association.
The law was supposed to take effect at the beginning of the year but was put on hold pending the 9th Circuit's ruling. Thursday's ruling reverses the injunction.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed a similar law that would also outlaw conversion therapy in his state.

Linda Emmick, a pioneering woman and leading figure in karting motor sports, died June 5 of a stroke, her family said. She was 69.
An adrenaline junkie who enjoyed zip lining and sky diving as well as driving more than 100 mph in small, open cars, Mrs. Emmick blazed a trail in a racing community dominated by men. She was a champion driver, businesswoman and avid promoter of karting, a family-friendly activity and early training ground for many NASCAR and Indy champions.
In 1965, she and her husband, Gary, a seven-time national karting champion, opened a karting business in Mountain View. They moved in 1972 to Sacramento, where Emmick Enterprises became one of the top makers of kart engines and chassis in the sport. She ran the business with her son, Ron, after her husband died in 1985.
"She and her family are legends in the sport," said David Cole, managing editor of ekartingnews.com. "She was definitely a pioneer."
Mrs. Emmick traveled and competed on the karting circuit with her husband. She was the first woman to win both national and world titles in the sport, in Camden, N.J., in 1969 and Hong Kong in 1971, her son said.
"Can you imagine a woman back in the early '70s being up front in motor sports or any kind of race car?" said Ron Emmick, a karting and auto racing champion. "She was dedicated to the sport."
Born June 24, 1943, in Mitchell, S.D., Linda Kay Spears moved with her family to Palo Alto. She graduated from Palo Alto High School, where she met Gary Emmick. They married in 1961 and had two children.
"She was a wonderful mother, always pushing us to excel in school and everything we did," her son said. "I was into racing and my sister was into horse riding, and she supported us all the way."
Mrs. Emmick was a board member of the International Kart Federation and was active in the World Karting Association for many years. She officiated at major races, including including IKF Road Race Grand Nationals, according to the World Karting Association website.
Her family sold their karting business about four years ago, her son said.
"Even later in her career, when she was semi-retired, she was still into racing," Ron Emmick said.
"When people would come into the shop, she'd jump out on the track and race and wind up beating them. I had to tell her, 'Mom, you have to stop beating them. They're our customers.' "
Mrs. Emmick was predeceased by her daughter, Ronda Emmick Gwin, in 2010. She is survived by her son, Ron of Rancho Cordova; sister, Judy Moritz of Gilroy; brother, Richard Spears of Palo Alto; and four grandchildren.
A viewing is set for 4 to 8 p.m. today at Sierra View Funeral Home, 6201 Fair Oaks Blvd., Carmichael. A funeral is set for 10 a.m. Friday at Fair Oaks Cemetery, 7780 Olive St., Fair Oaks.

Heavy snow fall means messy, and sometimes dangerous, streets and highways/
Most city crews are out in full force tonight, including Fargo, where extra crews have been called to clear roadways.
Snow plows hit the roads at about 9 Monday night.
Some of those workers say nights like these are their favorite to work in.
When a storm sends us running for cover, it takes a different breed to go running out.
"I just look at it as it's my job," Derek Houim, an equipment operator driving a sand truck tonight, said. "The boss says to get in here and apply the sand/salt mixture to give cars the traction to get around, or if it takes me to climb on a plow truck to clear the snow for the cars to get around, I guess that's just what I do."
What's normally eight hours of work, today takes twelve.
Derek was called into over-time to fight the worst of Fargo's snow fall this season.
"It kind of makes you feel good, you know."
From dawn until dark, Derek has been sanding streets from the interstate to West Fargo City Limits.
If a police officer calls in about a particularly icy spot, he'll cover that too.
But, no matter how many hours he drives, there's always one spot he's missed.
"When I look at my driveway, I'd like to clear the snow in my driveway versus clearing the streets and coming home to twice as much snow."
Paving the way home, this breed runs around the clock.
Drivers also gave another helpful tip: if you're shoveling snow or operating a private snow plow, pushing that snow into the road or across the road can add up to a $500 fine. They say it's a safety hazard if a driver hits the drift.

Re:Australia! (439 comments)
As I said above, that's no big deal.
My guitarist concurs. It's not really hot until you're past 105.
Apparently this 40C stuff is coming off the interior with low humidity? One of the standing jokes here in Arizona is the postcard of a dried, bleached animal skeleton (it really doesn't matter what - cow, vulture, human, WTH) laying out in the desert under the blazing sun.

We already knew the Life/Void rings, like how the void one made you invisible, were played like a Tolkien reference ("mY PRECIOUS,") and might potentially be an evil trap that needs to be destroyed in the Forge like in the Lord of the Rings, and stood a good chance of being the same ring, but
I was having a conversation with colwag and (emphasis mine):
- blastyoboots: (oh that's assuming the rings are the same which they might not be)
- colwag: I'm not exactly convinced that it's one ring yet, if only because the imagry clearly shows two so far

Get out of the way! A Game 3 postmortem.
Gordon | May 04, 2011 | Comments 6
Once again, the Detroit Red Wings are down 3-0 to San Jose. Once again, the Red Wings played better in this game than the last one. And once again, the Red Wings lost by one goal, due to a bizarre tip that should never have happened.
For those of us who watch Coach's Corner, there are certain things that Grapes always talks about. The danger of touch icing, and all the bad injuries that come from it. Unheralded Canadian players getting their first goal. The difference between physical play and dirty play.
Well, there's one other thing that frustrates Don to no end: goals caused by a defenseman putting his stick in front of a shot, redirecting past a confused goalie. Either block the shot, or get out of the way, in his mind. And sure enough, this scenario happens all too often.
Right after the game, Jimmy Howard said to the assembled press that "the puck was going end over end, those are hard to read." A lesson learned all too well for these three games.
Tonight, that sequence came back to wound the Wings. With Devin Setoguchi receiving a quick pass from Joe Thornton, Henrik Zetterberg couldn't cover and tried to simply stand in front of the shot. A tip off his stick, and the puck goes by a confused Jimmy Howard. Sharks win.
It's these little mistakes that have given the Sharks every win. In Game 1, a similar tip bounced by Howard in overtime. In Game 2, a fluttering high shot arced over Howard, into the net. And now, another bad tip in Game 3. San Jose has seemed to be just a bit ahead of the Red Wings, not by much, but by just enough. As a Red Wings fan, those bizarrely random game-winners could end up haunting the summer.
If not those San Jose goals, the lingering memory will be the chances missed. It will be Pavel Datsyuk having the puck in overtime, inside the slot, but being unable to get control of the thing. It will be Datsyuk to end the 3rd period, getting off a weak shot that Antti Niemi could barely save, instead of putting one in the top corner. It will be a lackluster effort after coming within a goal, to close Game 2. It will be all the missed chances, the plays where everyone was a stride out of sync.
Meanwhile, those missed chances took away a great game for the Red Wings. The newly shaken up line combinations led to three goals from different lines, some huge hits by Niklas Kronwall, and another great game from Jimmy Howard. Now, the Red Wings need to take what is possible from this game, and move on for a historic comeback.
Neither team was particularly dominant in Game 3, from the score always being tied or within one, to only short bursts of action in one end or the other. The momentum was always up for grabs. Bizarrely enough, these are the games that are usually 50-50 for either team…and San Jose has won seven straight like this against Detroit. Four games last year (separated only by a huge performance by Johan Franzen in Game 4), and now three more games this year. On one hand, the tide has to turn eventually, right?
On the other hand, it doesn't have to. All of these games are winnable, and none went the Red Wings' way. It all comes down to those little mistakes that started this column and ended the last game. That's what the Red Wings must clean up, and if they can…history can be in the making.

It's funny that, as a Wings fan, you don't believe either team was particularly dominant in game 3. I'm a Sharks fan, and it was fairly obvious the Wings controlled play for most of the game.
Agreed Frank, As a sharks fan as well I admit we were lucky to pull game 3. Definitely thought the wings played a lot better.
This guy is a HUGE homer, nothing more.
Huge homer? For whom?

Oh, come on. Like you've never read here.
Welcome to Terry's Reading Room, where I write about what I've recently read.
Try not to look so shocked that I actually read.
Today's featured book is "The American Way of Poverty: How the Other Half Still Lives" by Sasha Abramsky . It's available at the Marathon County Public Library .
This book is a two-parter. In part one, Abramsky introduces us to people who have lived with poverty for generations, and people who have just joined their ranks thanks to The Great Recession.
Many of these stories could have just as easily come from down the street. The closing of several paper mills in Central Wisconsin have left hundreds without good-paying jobs. People who could earn a decent income with one full time job, are now working two or three part time jobs and still not making enough to live on.
Combine those job losses with the anti-tax sentiment, and resistance to increasing the size and scope of government programs to help the poor in Washington and Madison, and a bad situation becomes even worse.
Our elected leaders bail out the financial industry because "they need it", meanwhile cutting food stamps and education programs because "the poor just need to work harder". Swearing in to office on a Bible only to turn around and do the exact opposite of what a certain divine carpenter would do seems a bit off to me.
Anyway, part two of Abramsky's book lays out some means by which the issue of poverty in the U.S. can be more effectively addressed. I liked the sound of a lot of his suggestions, but I agree with Abramsky that the bulk of American politicians lack the political will to do something that will actually fix poverty. Why risk big campaign donations from people who have money by doing something for people who don't? Far easier to just pretend poverty isn't a thing.
If I sound a bit incensed after reading this book, I am.
If someone wants my vote in the next election cycle, they'd better have a better plan for addressing poverty than, "screw the poor".

Football season is here, and with it, a whole bunch of advertising opportunities for your business.
Just be careful how you word those ads of yours. This video will help:
If you have any questions about how to make sure your ads are legal, and effective, feel free to give me a buzz at 715-842-1672, or e-mail email@example.com. Our conversation will be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
My wife just shared this with me on the Book of Face.
It's a really nice tribute to the place we call home.
Recently, a popular blogger on Tumblr had their account deleted because they used copyrighted images.
As a guy who does a fair bit of blogging, and is more than a little familiar with Copyright law, I thought I'd help my fellow bloggers learn how to use images without violating said law.
WARNING! I am not an attorney! I am simply a guy who has done quite a bit of research in Copyright law due to my work as a Copywriter. I've saved my clients tens of thousands of dollars in lawsuits by keeping them from violating the law!
If you're going to use photos in your blog, you need to have Creative Commons bookmarked in your favorite browser.
Meet the website that will save your @$$
Once you're there, type in the name of whatever it is you're searching for into the search window. Then, select the spot from which you wish to grab photos.
I prefer Wikimedia Commons as they tend to have the best stuff. Flickr 's pretty decent too.
For the purpose of this exercise, I'm going to search for a photo of one of my favorite new bands, Ghost (B.C.).
Once I find a photo that I like, I click it and scroll down a bit to check the Permissions as displayed below:
According to the Permissions on this photo, I can share it (post it on my blog) and remix it (add after-effects, crop it, etc.).
It also says that I must include attribution (credit the creator of the photo) and share alike (be willing to share my version of the image with others).
If the photo you want doesn't give you permission to share it, you can't use it. Period.
Once you're sure you have permission to post the photo on you blog, do it. Once it's there, you need to post attribution.
See where it says "Use This File on the Web" to the right of the photo?
Click that.
A pop-up will appear. Inside that pop-up you'll see several lines of info. The one you're looking for is "Attribution".
Now, just copy and paste the text of that "Attribution" below your photo on your blog, and you're all set. I also link back to the source of the photo.
PHOTO CREDIT: By Scott Penner (Flickr: Papa Emeritus II - Coachella 2013) [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
See how easy that was?
Now you might be wondering, "What's the worst that could happen if I just post whatever photos I want?"
Well, if you use Tumblr or some other social networking/blogging type site, you can have your account deleted.
If you're a blogger for a for-profit company like a radio station, television station, or some other media outlet, your company can get anything from a Cease and Desist Letter to a lawsuit costing them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Play it safe. Respect the Copyrights of photographers online.
Also, check out Ghost (B.C.). They're awesome.
If you want to learn more about the ins and outs of U.S. Copyright Law, Fair Use and the like, YouTube has some excellent videos on the subject:
You should really read this piece regarding what is and what isn't Fair Use .
I also highly recommend the book "Getting Permission ".
Thanks for reading!

Is Your Business Breaking the Law?
"Of course not!" is your response. After all, you do things on the up and up. Integrity is the cornerstone of how you do business.
With that being said, even the most honest person in the world can break the law without even knowing it, all thanks to a single, very common promotion.
Let me know if this sounds familiar.
You've managed to land a nice prize, Green Bay Packers tickets for instance. You think, "I could drum up more business by having a contest where customers can win these tickets!" You're right. That's a good idea.
Then you think, "What I'll do is give everyone who spends 20 dollars or more with me a chance to win the tickets!" That's a good idea in theory. In practice, it's VERY ILLEGAL.
The following is copied and pasted from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection's website:
What Is An Illegal Promotion?
A promotion is not legal in the state of Wisconsin if it involves three elements: prize, chance and consideration.
Prize is obvious, since it is the reason that consumers enter promotions.
Chance means that the winner is chosen by the "luck of the draw," with little or no skill or ability involved.
Consideration means anything that is a commercial or financial advantage to the promoter or a disadvantage to any participant. For example, if a purchase or payment must be made by the entrant in order to participate. The following methods of entry are not consideration:
If prize and consideration are present, a contest is still illegal if the outcome is determined essentially by chance, even though it's accompanied by some skill. For example, if the skill required in a contest involves simply guessing which word from a provided list of possibilities is the correct answer, the contest would be illegal.
Basically, the second someone has to pay money to enter your contest, consideration comes into play, turning your fun sales promotion into an illegal Lottery. Under Wisconsin State Gambling Laws, you're not allowed to run your own Lottery.
"No prob!" you say. "I'll just let people enter for free, and then if they buy 20 dollars worth of stuff, I'll give them additional chances to win."
Again, if someone can increase their odds of winning by paying money, consideration is back in play, making your promotion into an illegal lottery again.
Not only that, but according to State Law:
"Those who enter lotteries which violate the gambling statutes could face potential criminal liability for aiding and abetting the conduct of an illegal lottery."
That's right. Your customers could be fined, and possibly arrested just for entering a contest.
This law is why you hear and see lines like "No purchase necessary. See store for complete details," at the end of every contest.
Hang on. I know what you're going to say next. "But, but, but, I see and hear other businesses do this sort of thing all the time!"
Some businesses run promotions like this without getting fined by the state. It's true. They didn't get caught.
With that being said, you've read the news about Wisconsin's State Budget woes. Do you really want to risk being hit with a massive fine from a state that REALLY needs the money?
Play it safe. Don't run "pay to play" contests, and everything will work out fine.
If you have any questions about the legality of your promotion, feel free to contact me at 715-842-1672, or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Our converstation will be kept completely confidential.
Be Cool,
WOMAN 1: Hey, Jan.
WOMAN 2: Hey, Sally.
WOMAN 1: Wow Jan! Your [PRODUCT] looks great!
WOMAN 2: Thanks! I got it from [BUSINESS].
WOMAN 1: [BUSINESS]? I've never heard of them.
WOMAN 2: [BUSINESS] is my number one source for all my [PRODUCT] needs. They have a friendly, knowledgeable staff with lots of quality, service and selection.
WOMAN 1: Quality, service and selection? Sounds great! I'll have to check [BUSINESS] out. Where do I find them?
WOMAN 2: They're conveniently located at 5468897 You'll Never Remember This Street. Or you can call them at 715-344-9537.
WOMAN 1: What's that number again?
WOMAN 1: Great! Now let's finish killing this hobo!
Aside from that last line, I've heard a thousand radio/streaming commercials like this, and every single one of them suck.
Here's why.
The "Two Women having a casual conversation about a business" commercial is as fake-sounding as it gets.
Sometimes they're having coffee. Sometimes they're at the playground with the kids. Sometimes they're in the office. Sometimes they're two guys, or one guy and one woman kibitzing about some corporate entity or other. No matter the "everyday scenario", they're never having a conversation that sounds remotely realistic.
The script is usually littered with bullet points, slogans and crap that only a marketing wonk would say.
You know how most people talk about businesses? Like this.
WOMAN 1: Hey where do you take your car?
WOMAN 2: Fart-Lube.
WOMAN 1: Do you like them?
WOMAN 2: Yeah, they're good.
WOMAN 1: Thanks. Got their number?
WOMAN 2: Google it, jackass.
Note the lack of marketing wankery in that conversation.
The fact that these sorts of ads are usually voiced by local radio talent kills the illusion even more. This isn't the radio talent's fault. They can do a fine voice acting job. The trouble is, once the listener realizes that "Jan" or "Sally" sound just like their favorite morning show host, your cover's blown.
I've heard from marketing directors who should damn well know better that they love this style of ad because it "sounds real". If you're one of those marketing directors, read the precedeing until you "get" the following.
Those spots sound faker than a Kardashian's PhD in Quantum Physics. Stop them. Stop them RIGHT NOW.
Stop it now, or the hobos get it. PHOTO CREDIT: Wikimedia Commons
Instead, get an actual customer to do a testimonial for you. I've produced a couple hundred. Let me know if I can help.

Hi everyone. We're still waiting on some information beyond our control, but I don't want to make people wait any longer, so a limited number of tickets will be available starting today.
Here's how it will work:
Beginning at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time (8 p.m. Central; 9 p.m. Eastern), email communicon1 (a) gmail (dot) com with the Subject "CommuniCon Tickets." In the email, put the number of tickets you want (limit 4) and the full names of the people coming. We are only able to release 100 tickets today. The price is $25 per ticket for this round. I will try to keep that cost the same in the future, but can't guarantee anything.
Please wait until 6:00 p.m. Pacific to send your email, or it will be disregarded. I'm using the gmail time-stamp to determine when emails were sent. Later tonight or tomorrow morning I will email PayPal instructions to the people who reserved the first 100 tickets.
Those who don't make the 100-person limit will be placed on a waiting list in the order their emails were received. We will contact those people as soon as we have additional tickets available.

Copper prices shed nearly 2 percent in New York trading Wednesday as a stronger dollar prompted some investors to cash in on profits.
The most actively traded March contract on Comex closed at $4.1325 per pound Wednesday after reaching an intraday high of $4.2185 per pound. The settlement was down 1.8 percent from Tuesday's close at $4.209 per pound, but was still 0.8 percent higher than last Wednesday's settlement at $4.1005 per pound. The profit-taking came after the red metal repeatedly tested record highs through November and December.

Oprah Winfrey unhappy with lavish home
Oprah Winfrey has decided to gut her California home because she is unhappy with the lavish decor she first chose.
Oprah Winfrey is gutting her Santa Barbara home because it is too grand.
The TV show host is unhappy with the decor of her beachside residence in California and has decided to spend three months and several million dollars on a makeover.
Writing in O magazine, she said: ''The gilded mirrors, marble urns, the lavish carpets and sherbet palette - it was all very grand. But it wasn't very true to myself.
''And there you have it: the thing that had been missing from all of the beautiful places I'd ever lived in was me!''
Oprah also admitted she was most disappointed with the library in her home and wants to make it more user friendly.
She explained: ''It's not easy to do an entire library that says, Do not touch the books. But somehow I managed.
''Maya Angelou once told me you can become either an old female or a wise woman.
''All I can tell you is that I'm evolving, my taste is, too, and someday soon this room will represent the person I've become.''

Selena Gomez is reportedly blowing through her fortune too quickly, with bad real estate investments, and lavish spending on private jets.

Re: Embed problem!
16 April 2011 at 8:59am
I've tried to put the <embed> code directly in the Page.ss and when i loaded the page in the browser, it did the same thing.
it removed it.

<embed type="application/vnd.unity" style="display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%; " width="720" height="450" firstframecallback="unityObject.firstFrameCallback();" src="http://localhost:8888/SilverStripe-v2.4.5/assets/Uploads/MazePuzzle.unity3d">
When i inspect the code that the browser shows using Chrome's dev tools, this whole portion is removed...
Re: Embed problem!
16 April 2011 at 9:13pm
Ok, so I don't have the game and I have no idea what it looks like, but I had no problems installing it in SilverStripe anyway
On a clean install, with no other javascript files loaded, in your Page_Controller:
function init() {
//gets the unityPlayer div and replaces the content with an embed tag which is the web player made by Unity (it works outside of SS.)
function GetUnity() {
if (typeof unityObject != "undefined") {
return unityObject.getObjectById("unityPlayer");
return null;
//sets the parameters of the web player
if (typeof unityObject != "undefined") {
unityObject.embedUnity("unityPlayer", "MazePuzzle.unity3d", 720, 450);
(make sure there's no whitespace before the closing 'JS' !!!)
in your template somewhere:

Do a ?flush=1
Now in my html (firebug) I see the div tag replaced:

<embed src="MazePuzzle.unity3d" firstframecallback="unityObject.firstFrameCallback();" style="display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%;" type="application/vnd.unity" width="720" height="450">

One more tip: make sure your html validates - maybe some forgotten closing
 might cause the problem...
Re: Embed problem!
17 April 2011 at 3:43am
Hey, i've tried adding the init function you described in my page's controller, but now i can't even access the page. Its giving me the error that the "website might be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly", when i remove that part of the code, works right back.
I've attached both the PHP file as well as the SS file.
Re: Embed problem!
17 April 2011 at 4:06am
And if you notice, that error that SS generates you is due to the fact that the <embed> tag is not properly closed by the unity plugin.
Re: Embed problem!
17 April 2011 at 11:37pm
For now, I narrowed it down to your Page header - so it's not SilverStripe after all :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

Removing the first line will at least make it work:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

One more thing: php started complaining about a unexpected t_sl error - due to the fact that there are extra whitespaces following <<<JS in your Page.php (removing them will get rid of the error - if you have it, that is...
Re: Embed problem!
18 April 2011 at 3:20am
thanks i was blind to that first line thing!
and thanks for the whitespace info, it would've taken me forever to figure it out
now i just need to figure how to get rid of the:
GET http://localhost:8888/SilverStripe-v2.4.5/assets/Uploads/MazePuzzle.unity3d 403 (Forbidden)
I found how to allow the file to be uploaded through the cms, but apparently its not enough to allow it
to be accessed by the website.
anyways, thanks for the great help!
Re: Embed problem!
18 April 2011 at 6:41am Last edited: 18 April 2011 6:42am
if it's not a rights issue, then did you add the file extension to the list in web.config file in the /assets/ directory? I read that SilverStripe restricts access to files that are not represented there(haven't tested)
Re: Embed problem!
18 April 2011 at 7:24am
Nop, tried it, didn't help.
I'm able to "upload" it but when i come to access it (from the embed tag) it finds the file, but i get a 403 error in my javascript console.
the error:
GET http://localhost:8888/SilverStripe-v2.4.5/assets/Uploads/MazePuzzle.unity3d 403 (Forbidden)
i've tried both a regular flush & a /dev/build just in case, but i still get the error

Bad intentions can be pure
Date: 28 October 2012
Tagged as: 10282012.
That moment when you realize things have changed, but are still so much the same. I don't know where I should be right now. I feel like, I want the same things, but in different ways. I want to be happy, but the things that made me happy don't really anymore. Maybe my heart's growing colder, or maybe it just beats to a different rhythm. I miss people for all the wrong reasons, but I thinks that's better than not missing them at all. Old friends, Past acquaintances, lost loves, its all the same. I used to lay in bed and late at night and wonder if anyone was thinking about me too. That warmness I feel whenever you're around, the way you light up my face, you were the flame that drew me. I wondered if I sparked anyone's heart the way you spark mine. If you would ever be consumed by me the way I was consumed by you. What am I to you? You're friend, you're girl,you're lover, you're entertainment? What do you want from me? Time is all I have to give, and sometimes I'm even stingy with that. Its all I have left. Love is evading me slowly. Nimbly it seeps out of this weary heart of mine. Yes, a heart, though it is weary. I still have one contrary to many's believes. Its not what it used to be and it scares me. I used to be so open, so loving, so naive. And then , it ended. The way stars blaze brightly then explodes into the darkness. I'm so emotional, and unemotional at the same time. Well at different times. I'm tired of being forgotten by people. I'm tired of not being memorable enough to get a text,phone call, anything. Yet you're my best friend, or love, or whatever else. You don't have the decency or common courtesy to let me know I'm relevant to your life? Fuck you and the fucked up horse you rode in on. And bitch ass dudes with bitch ass approaches to being in my life can get bent alright. I don't have time for games and bullshit. You want to say something, you want me, you want a Fucking sandwich, anything, just man the fuck up and say it.
I know I'm just talking out my head but that's okay. I'm purging for my own benefit not any of yours. I'm so scared that I am heartless.One of My biggest fears is hurting those that love me, and that I love most. Yet time and time again here I am. The list goes on and on. I know hurting people is inevitable but should it be so much? I don't want to hurt him, I refuse. I'm not trying to and don't plan to, but then again I never do. I just want to be happy. I want to be knocked on my ass. "Make me want you,make me miss you, make me wonder where you are?""Remind me just who we are, we're oh so close and yet so far.. I want you to make me never want to let you go. Be there for me when I need you, because I will need you. "Make me feel not so alone, even when your miles away. I just want to be in love, it doesn't have to be a fairytale, but a happy ending would be nice for once. Please,Please,Please Let Me Get What I Want This Time..

New Mexico Studio Vacation Rentals with Parking Included(27)

Recent New Mexico Reviews
Perfect location
This was the best place we stayed for our week away. A very convenient location, super clean, fast Internet, and groovy charm. Most highly recommended.
Cute, Cozy, and Comfortable
This is a very pleasant, clean, nicely decorated studio (not a one bedroom). The kitchen is small, but adequate for most needs, and while there was no air conditioning (which is common in this area), the fans worked well, and we were very comfortable. My favorite thing about this casita, other than the quiet, the solitude, the great views, and the friendly owners, is that it is located north of town in a sparsely built area and my dog had miles of sagebrush meadows to run in and play. While there was no fenced-in yard, there was a private deck with a hottub and great scenery. This is a very dog friendly area, and that was much appreciated. WiFi worked well, and the dirt road to the Casita was bumpy, but easily passable in my front-wheel drive. Also, being north of Taos was nice as we could avoid the heavy traffic around the Plaza in the middle of town and have easy access to the nearby attractions north of town. I would definitely recommend this place.
Loved it
Great place in a perfect location. I traveled with my partner and 2 dogs and it worked out better than I hoped for. There was a nice sized park across the street for the dogs. They also enjoyed laying around the well sized patio area. Many of Albuquerques attraction were right outside the doorstep.
