a walking taco is a when any/all the taco fixings you want are added to a bag of Fritos and you can "walk" away with it. (as seen on David Letterman 6/4-5/07)
I had never heard of a walking taco until watching Letterman last night. Does this mean I need to get more? Probably not.

We're thinking of switching to a different region at some point in the future. We're not sure when would be best with regards to our child's education and development needs? Would it be best to move when they're younger (kindergarden/grade school) and haven't had a chance to make a lot of friends, or when they're older and might be able to better rationally understand and cope with the move?
From my own experience moving 6 times as a child, and talking to others about their childhood moves, I would say the earlier you relocate, the better. Socially, in general other children are less accepting of outsiders the older they get. This is especially true if you're moving somewhere with a visibly different culture or accent. My wife moved from Texas to Arizona in middle school and still gets upset sometimes about the kids who made fun of her drawl.
Also, differences in educational standards and curricula are larger the further you are along in school, so the later you move, the less common foundation you have with the other children. For example, I was an A+ student in English literature, but unfortunately when I changed high schools my new classmates had all read an almost completely different selection of books. That wasn't a fatal problem, but made things more difficult because I didn't have that common frame of reference. My trigonometry is a little weak to this day because my high schools taught it in different orders.
I also find I have fewer childhood memories than my peers who never moved during childhood, and the ones I have are often more fuzzy. I attribute this to a lack of "anchors" to refresh my memory. For example, every time you drive by a park you remember events that took place there, but if you never drive past it in 10 years those memories get pushed aside.
I cannot offer research-based hard facts, but I can offer you my personal experience:
I've moved 16 times in my life, between 5 countries, at varying ages. (My father was a valued specialist at the time.) My bullet #2 would be most appropriate to you, but I'll list other ages for reference. In summary, I would recommend that you move sooner rather than later. Avoid moving kids at ages 5-15 when possible.
Of course, as already said, the earlier the better.
Later on, it would be wise to coordinate that with the moment that the child would change school anyway (like going from elementary to middle school, or from middle to high school).
Although I have had no personal experience to share, here are three sites that include research as well as helpful information on moving and it's impact on children.
I think it depends on the child.
Being the new kid is always hard, and there are a number of movies that depict this in detail (can't cite any now!)
However, inevitably, it all depends on the child and their ability to manage themselves socially. When I was in grade school, there were new kids that were extremely well received, and new kids that were just loners. It all depends on the child, how and sociable they are.
How social a child is has a dependence on their interest range, whether or not they can relate to kids in the new area. And that's way beyond the scope of this answer.

Our Conte Center is focused on the transcriptome, connectome, and plasticity of PV cells
as the neurodevelopmental basis for mental illness. Their
maturational state dictates the degree of plasticity in developmental critical periods, and
now we know, from Donato et al., in adult learning. Once plasticity is opened by PV cells' function, it closes
when they mature ("high PV" state), including the tightening of the perineuronal nets (PNNs) around them.
In schizophrenia, PV cells may remain in the "low PV" weak PNN state for some time longer than
normal, suggesting, interestingly, that developmental plasticity may be prolonged (i.e., neural circuits fail to stabilize when they normally should). PV cell
maturation may potentially be controlled by Otx2 secreted from the choroid plexus,
which would link enlarged ventricles to impaired PV cells in the brain in schizophrenia (see
Spatazza et al., 2013).
Spatazza J, Lee HH, Di Nardo AA, Tibaldi L, Joliot A, Hensch TK, Prochiantz A. Choroid-plexus-derived Otx2 homeoprotein constrains adult cortical plasticity. Cell Rep. 2013 Jun 27;3(6):1815-23. Abstract

This is a thread for feedback on today's blog, which is now LIVE here - http://community.sigames.com/showthr...Viewer-(Video)
Looks good!
Again, as with all video blogs, I'll have a listen when I get home...
Subtitles anyone??
IMO these video blogs are pointless.. just write them and add game-video/pics to it..
Humm. Some decent small improvements but massively improved? Far from it. These updates just seem... underwhelming(refferring to the 3D engine)
I disagree, I think they're briliant.
FM12 looks like the best FM in years...just hope the ME is as good as it looks...
Kept being distracted by Miles' eyebrow's, they appear to have a life of their own & move independently from the rest of his body.
I like the new 3d improvemnts a lot, but I am still waiting to see the manager on the bench, giving to the managers different personalities, so you could see a manager shouting at his team all the time or another one sitting all the time even when he is winning against barcelona.. how long must we wait for this?
I'm just messing around asking for subtitles though... helluva lot of effort that would take, unless they hire a speedy gonzalez typer to do it.
Very incidentally, I think Miles sounds just like the IT guy 'Simon' from The Office! Can just see him saying, First day it opened I went down there, I was doing a few laps and pulled over and the manager comes over to me and says "Oi, mate! No professionals." I said I'm not a professional. He said "Well, you should be. With moves like that you could be the best in Britain". I said, "No thanks I'm making **** loads from computers".
he does look a bit old and rough round the edges right now, obviously not making enough money from FM, hopefully steam sorts the problem lol
I think the ME looks brilliant, wasnt overly excited about FM12 until the last few days, but the last few blogs have picked up my interest.
For a blog to do with the "Match Viewer" I don't know how a video blog is pointless
Anyway, looks good. Better animated and this adds to the realism.
Slightly disappointed with "Director Cam", I thought this was going to be a 3D rotate and zoom tool for replaying as you see fit. Been in football games for over a decade.
As for the content of the blog I'm happy to see that the crowd distribution has been fixed so that we don't see the lone wolf fans refusing to stand anywhere near each other in low attendance matches, no sign of players actually crowding the ref when the commentary tells you this is happening though, hopefully the whole ref/player interaction has been worked on while adding the nice new ref animations.
Any improvements for those of us who still use the old style 2d camera?
Another promising blog, looks a lot better for sure. Interested to see what it looks like in rain / snow.
Yeah i would love to see the players surrounding the ref, my only worry would be if it happened too often and matches would take an age to get through. Im hoping they have sorted little things like players going off injured but running off the pitch whilst the physio walks slowly off.
Is there a dugout (or technical area) camera angle? Or a directors box angle? This way we'd be able to see the game as a real manager would?
Something thats always bugged me is the whole "Britishness" of all the stadia used in FM. Say you are playing in Italy, where most of the stadia have no roofs and are bowl shaped, FM presents this as a typical English stadia, so there is no feel for where you are playing.
Also another minor detail, but I like to play games in Africa using created leagues. Lots of these games happen in stadia where the pitch is dirt - this is avilable in the editor but is not rendered in the game - so again we have diddy African teams looking like they are playing an away game at Bury
Oh, and while I'm at it - when are we going to be able to edit the stadia files so that we can create our own? They are locked down currently..
Argh I want to play it NOW
Friday cant arrive quick enough
I would like a Wormcam.
Looks superb.
The players float/levitate.
Other than that, lots of nice few little additions but not a "massive improvement".
Not something I'm paticularly bothered about (how the 3D engine looks) but it does look like a alot better than before. Which can only be a good thing.
wow.. looks awesome.. cant wait to get my teeth into the game now
Hope also when playing that if you try and change quick tactics during a game and there is a pause in play and then continues while you are doing it, that you can close the tactics box instead of it being stuck open blocking a huge lump of the screen until the next break in play .
Shame the blog did not actually show the new rain and snow as i disabled the snow in 2011 as it hurts my eyes trying to watch the game through a white blur .
Given that it's most probably still WIP it still looks better then in 11.3 and that's why it gets thumbs up from me.
www.fmbosnia.com - The game starts here
It looks great, match engine improves each version.
What sort of graph card do you reckon i'd need to make the ME look that good? I've only got a ATO mobilitity radeon 4250 card now.
Anyway, the ME looks beautiful
That's not a great graphics card, and it's onboard, check with some computer shops in your area if they can sideport some memory on there - might help. But it would heavily depend on the type of processor, you're unlikely to get good 3D graphics though.
The min Specs for FM12 say
Graphics: 128MB
Supported Chipsets – Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 or greater; Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater
Again - nommage. Can't wait.
is this match engine is the final i don't see "work in progress"
I get it now; I thought director cam would refer to the view of the director of the club - now I see it's the TV director! bit ambiguous, that.
I have a couple of questions from a lower league perspective, generally a neglected area in terms of graphics and sound.
Where you say you have improved crowd graphics, have you improved the appearance of small crowds. In FM11 the attendance might be under 100 but there are 200+ people in the stadium.
Secondly, sound. All that happens in FM11 and before that low attendance = low volume, with lower leagues often just having the sound of the ref's whistle and nothing more. This is the case in a small stadium that is 80% full. Have you supplied crowd sounds for lower league fixtures now?
Think this forget to be added to the new sticky section?
he just said it, the video didn't show anything of outside stadium graphics.
I think the choice of camera angles should be limited to match the situation. For example, as a manager you have basically two options, either watch the game from the dugout or from the stands. Therefore during the match only these options should be available. When re-watching the game in order to analyse what happened, then fair enough, as many angles as possible. Also, when scouting a player, you sit in the stands and should therefore only have the one angle.
Apart from that the game is looking good, which is a pity.
Huge step in the right direction, and the most important change for me as its the place I spend most my time playing. Few more years and we should have fifa level of graphic quality, where I think we should be.
Love the look of this as well. I don't think there is anything wrong with the 3D engine. Sometimes the smaller changes and improvements are the best.
I like the new camera angles as well that has been added and how they have tidied up the crowds and stadiums. Even outside the stadiums have been tidied up as well.
Just wish I could get a decent graphics card for this Inspiron 530S that the missus wisely bought to play the graphics at maximum. Don't think there's many graphics cards that can run in this with only a 250 power unit ::::bloody package PCs::::
Like the new movements from officials re extra animations re referee also goalkeepers and injured player movement, gestures look good. Player passing and camera angles nice features.
Might even get some of those luddite 2D guys to give 3D a go!!!!
I think a Stadium Editor could be a huge feature in next versions... think about it, SI.
No news about sound, will be the same sounds again?
I saw some bugs in video, like players "levitate" sometimes... but, i hope that bug will fixed in first or second patch.
And, for me, a little frustration to don't see features in training system...
Although this is more of an idea for future incarnations.
To keep it on topic, it looks a lot better than previous versions and I like the idea of scarfs, flags and flares if appropiate....imagine those Euro Champion Cup games away to places like....err....only place that comes to mind immediately is Galatasary...but I'm sure other places have that sort of crowd activity .
As much as it pains me to say it...an European night at Anfield with the Kop full of flags and such....oh wait...forgot the Kop is a relic of a bygone era of Liverpool pride

all the cosmetics look great...
but the full-back still plays the aimless ball down the line... as the full-backs have done since year dot! Probably the most annoying thing in the ME for me, and it's still there
The match engine has come a long way and for all the stats scouting training and media this is where any football game culminates. Its where your hard work comes to fruition, you have bought a new Goalkeeper will he perform, your star striker is under performing, your defence having a howler, the crowd upset or happy These are the things it should portray and year after year this is the area I get more impressed with. I hope the crowd sound has been worked on too to add atmosphere but if not I sure it will come sson.
One thing I would like to see is the dugouts not been so generic, every stadium has a different style some are actually set back into the stadium but I sure these will come over the next couple of release. All in All from FM2009 its a MASSIVE step forward :-)
Bit of a weird one for me, this.
I think the 3D match engine was what first got me more interested in playing FM (I'm a n00b, only started playing the series with FM11). I thought "ooh, this looks cool". However, as I became more interested in the game itself and really playing it I soon switched to 2D view to really assess my team. I like that I can really see the formations in 2D and it also seems to give me the clearest indication of differences in pace between players. Obviously things like sliding tackles and what exactly happened when an injury occurs are rather obscure but the commentary helps.
I still think I'm going to be tempted to stick with 2D for serious watching. It's a shame, really but I also confess I don't see how 3D could be made to do what I'd really want so this isn't at all any kind of complaint about the developments. The 3D matches do look great. But viewing a game for optimal management decisions, I think 2D is going to be the choice.
Still no decent penalty camera angle. Behind goal might be okay, but it looks too far away. I don't see why they can't introduce one.
I agree with you Bodnotbod. 2D is best.
I suggested a similiar view for the 3D, but other views had priority.
3d is greyed out in preferences, so i cannot even tweak the quality to play in 3d.
FM11 worked fine but it seems I need a new laptop to play in 3d. Are there workarounds to get the 3d tickable again? Please!.
I posted this in the bugs section, more people have the same problem apparently. Hope this gets fixed before full version is released.
I feel the guys who mention the britishness of the stadiums have a point also. Italy with it's uncovered curva's is a good example. But how about a 'less than four stands' stadium, like is often the case in lower league. Most grounds in lower league only have a small main stand and the rest is just some advertisement where supporters stand behind. Some agricultural land with trees in the background (lower league football grounds are often surrounded by a row of trees, well in Holland they are). I played the demo with Port Vale and played away to Builth Wells FC in a friendly. The stadium was more like that of a league 1 club than the amateur pitch with single tiny covered stand it really is.
Another thing that I thought was a bit annoying (and I believe it was the same in FM11) is the brightness of the ropes that hold the goals net in place. Especially when a match is played at night/evening these ropes stand out very much and when the camera turns they seem to flicker (parts turn black and then white again). This is a minor issue off course, but it is kind of distracting. In real life these ropes are hardly visible. I suggest to ajust the colour of these ropes from bright white to a more dull tone of grey so they won't stand out this much.
And in line with that, I've noticed some stadiums with bright white seats. Apart from the fact that stadiums with white seats are not so common IRL (they probably get dirty quickly), and the particular stadiums aren't white IRL at all (Port Vale (dark yellow) and Telstar (blue and red) this white almost hurts the eye and also seems to flicker at camera-turns. Some other colours do too (like bright red), but the white is the worst. Seats shouldn't be luminescant IMO.
Note: I have only seen the 3d matches in low-graphics.

I like the 3D view... at beggining, then, the fisics and the AI became irritating, my tactics its not reflected in the game, the players should press the other team, but they get away of the ball, all the time and it's make the game frustrating, why the players don't press the other team, why the forwarders don't give a pass to the free player at side, and even when my tactic says that they have to try to get to the goal they always shoot from far away. You have to work a lot in this...
Sorry for the bad english :P
Looks good for the 3D, im more of an old school 2D man though so not really too fussed
suggestion: if anyone out there is stupid enough to think "improvements have been made"....try actually watching a real game of football and then watch a game on FM and see if these supposed improvements look like they've happened. because on every FM game I've played, the football played is always the same pathetic viewing...when a game isn't going the way you plan, its not because the opposition is playing really great football. it's the opposite! suddenly, your players forget how to play football and lose all sense of awareness and danger of opposition players and positioning and just start running around like headless chickens! even while watching this video, you see a perfect example of how backwards the football is this game is made to look...a low cross goes in and an own goal is scored...the defender scoring the own goal facing the wrong way and the ball bounces off his back and rolls over the line...because, of course, he wouldn't be watching where the ball is coming from :|
maybe its just me but I like football in a game to look like it could actually be a reality in terms of the performance

First annual mud run draws hundreds of participants
Submitted: 07/23/2016
Play Video
- The first annual Legionnaire Mud Challenge made its way to Crandon Saturday.
The International Off-Road Raceway welcomed nearly 200 participants ready to get down and dirty.
Men and women of all ages were brought together by the desire to work up a sweat.
"There's not a lot of opportunities like this in the northwoods, so it's always great to see one pop up," said Justin Lund.
He's an experienced obstacle course athlete and came in first in the men's 10k.
And for the women, Sheila Reynolds also took first place.
"It's fun and then you get other people running and you're encouraging them along in a way. It's just a great atmosphere," said Reynolds.
Athletes participating in the mud challenge had the option of running as an individual or on a team. When registering, they chose between the 5k or 10k.
Not only are these athletes getting all muddy as they're going through the race, they also have to climb over obstacles like these barrels of hay.
Some of the obstacles included a tire wall, slip n' slide, and muddy wet puddles to get through.
"I talked to a lot of the runners before we went and they said that the obstacles were tough and they really liked the course," said Beaver, one of four runners on a team.
Beaver and The Boys completed the course with only a few setbacks along the way.
"I lost my shoe in the middle of it and had to go back and find it," he said.
Athletes had to get up and over more than 15 obstacles throughout the race.
All the money raised will go to the Northwoods United Way and American Cancer Society.
The second annual Legionnaire Mud Challenge will take place next year.

"I've never seen any damage like that in the 48 years I've been coming up here," Cibelli said.
Cibelli woke up to Thursday morning's heavy rains and winds around 5:30 a.m. The storm finally passed over the Winchester area and the family went out to look over the damage.
"Adrenaline definitely was flowing," Cibelli said.

Seeing SpotsWritten by on April 12, 2012
OK, let's face it: Spotlights are pretty much toys, great fun for shining at people and lighting up houses. If you happen to catch movies at a vintage drive-in theater, you get to play the Spot the Dot on the screen between flicks. Yeah, they're toys--so what? So are our cars, right? But spotlights can be practical and invaluable. We've been involved with enough racing endeavors to appreciate how useful they can be for thrashing in the pits. Like many, we also camp out of our '61 Suburban, and extra illumination is often handy in campgrounds. If you're caravanning with a bunch of rodders, you'll be a hero when their stuff goes south after the sun goes down.
There was a time when spotlights were the accessories to have, even up through the muscle-car era. In Martinsville, Virginia, everyone seemed to run them. For a while there, any vehicle in the junkyard--'50s family sedans, pickup trucks, Mustangs, Chevelles, whatever--that had been owned by a high school kid showed evidence of a spotlight on the A-pillar. In Martinsville and throughout the country, they were so popular for customs that "dummy spots" were not uncommon.
While hunting for the real deal for our Suburban, we eventually found our way to Bob Birch at Accessoryland (563/556-5482). We only wish he'd been our first contact. We were stunned when he rattled off the part numbers of the brackets for our fairly obscure application right off the top of his head. If you're looking for Unity, Appleton, or other brands of accessory lights, save yourself some trouble and start with Bob. The rest is relatively easy, as illustrated here.

Once you've got the right brackets, you'll need to determine the correct shaft length for your application. We found 19 different lengths, ranging from 9 to 26 inches, measured from the handle pivot center to the head pivot center. The shafts typically go through the dash, the cowl, and an exterior body panel. Depending on where they mount, they penetrate a lot of real estate. Unity sells long bits, but we made our own with a spare stubby bit and some scrap rod.Of vital importance is getting the proper mounting template. You'll be working on several different planes, and if you get any of them wrong, you'll pop through the body in the wrong place and the bracket won't fit, or the light will collide with the door, or you'll come into the cabin and put the handle too close to the dash face to be usable, blocking the headlight switch, crashing into the turn-signal handle, going through the steering wheel, or blocking the glovebox door. We found the correct template for our truck from a helpful stranger online, and obtained this original 1955 template book on eBay.We taped the panel to be drilled, then aligned the template and transferred the mounting-screw holes. Alignment instructions are printed on the template.With the exterior bracket mounted, we used the bracket as a drill guide to get the correct angle and location of the holes into the passenger compartment. The off-angle hole through the panels will be oblong and isn't something you can freehand. Accessoryland sells a drill-bit bushing to protect the bracket.The spotlight-handle assembly comes off the shaft as a complete unit by removing this nut and tapping out the bolt. The bolt has a flat machined into its shank that corresponds to a flat on the light's shaft. (People frequently beat on the bolt's head to drive it home, not realizing it's misaligned.) We bought a new bolt to replace this bashed part.The end of the shaft must also align with a key inside the handle attached to the handle's geardrive and another key on the I.D. of the handle housing where it slips over the shaft's sleeve. Study and understand all the pieces before trying to assemble them, and it'll all fall together. (If you don't, you'll end up forcing things and breaking one.)With the shaft through the hole, the interior bracket is slipped over the shaft, and the mounting holes are marked and drilled.The wire comes out of the handle. On the driver side, the wire is on the bottom and looks very clean. There are no specific "right-side handles," so the passenger-side wire exits on top. The wire is the hot lead; the bracket grounds the housing. Use a grommet through the dash to protect the wire.There are a couple of schools of thought for wiring spotlights: Some installers wire them into an ignition-switched hot lead, while others choose an always-hot lead. We prefer wiring to the battery so the ignition doesn't have to be on if we need the lights. (Keying the ignition to the "on" position for extended periods can burn out the points or hurt an HEI.) We installed a 15-amp, inline fuse for each light and made it redundant with a 30-amp circuit breaker to connect the 10-gauge lead on a new battery cable to the leads for the lights. The circuit breaker was chosen more for a clean connection to the light leads than anything else. Don't skip the fuses!
Unity, the most common brand, makes 5- and 6-inch-diameter lights and offers Model S5 and Model S6 lights. However, the "S5" and "S6" designations do not correspond to the bulb diameter--S5s are presealed beam lights that use an insert bulb in a reflector housing (like a flashlight), whereas the S6 series, introduced in 1947, uses a sealed beam bulb. There is an adapter to covert S5 lights to sealed beam if you so desire. Our Suburban is now ready to play Spot the Dot at the drive-in!

Do anchors in urls affect ranking in seo?
As oposed to:
On SO it does not affect it on I think it is the same on other sites too.
The anchors do not affect the rankings in SEO.
Hard to say for sure but the semantic meaning of the anchor is to point to a specific point on a page so the browser can scroll to it automatically. If it is going to have SEO value it would most likely be limited to the small portion of the page that is associated with the anchor. That value would be very small thanks to the limited target area of the anchor as well as the huge potential for abuse. I wouldn't worry about the SEO aspects of it and use names that make sense so when that URL is loaded in a browser it makes sense to the user and also makes the life easier for whomever has to maintain that code in the future.

orderby="date:desc,random"seem to work
They do now :-) and they both do different things. The first will pull random images from the database, then order whichever pictures it has grabbed by descending date.
The second will do what you intend: pull out the most recent pictures first and then order them randomly on the page. Clicking 'Next' to page through them will pull the next most recent batch of images, displaying those randomly, and so on.
'fixed' is still honoured and takes precedence if you're using a fixed-order
imageid list. One caveat is if you ask it for random images from the database by putting 'random' first in the list. In this case you cannot guarantee to pull out all the images you have specified on the first page of results. But if it does pull out some or all of the image IDs you want, they will appear first in the list.
The help file explains more if you need it.
Other tweaks in this version are:
orderbynow accepts any (or all!) of the following: category (the default), name, alt, caption, id, date, author, ext, width, height, random, or fixed : Sort-tastic!
- New attribute:
maxlimit. Specifies the absolute maximum number of images you will get from the database. Very useful if you want to make sure you'll only get 100 pics so you can display them in 10 pages of 10 (i.e.
maxlimit="100" limit="10"). If you omit the option, it is essentially unlimited (99999 in reality)
Give v0.23 a whirl and let me know how it hangs together for you.

One question, I'm a little confused about how to display the images by child category, you mention using CSS2 and the 'rel' attribute in your help file, but I'm not sure I really follow.
You're not the only one, it doesn't quite do what I expected it to either :-s
The idea was this: using the tag as you have it, if you look at the source code you'll see each image has a
rel="lightbox-categoryName" associated with it. I was hoping (perhaps too highly) that using CSS2 selectors you could access this attribute and style it so you could, say, pull each category-gallery into its own space. e.g. if you had a category/sub-category called reptiles you could do:
.smd_slimbox li a[rel="lightbox-reptiles"] {
which would (and indeed does) indent all images of the reptiles group.
Unfortunately I overlooked one tiny detail; the rel attribute is applied to every image so the system falls over on at least two counts:
- If you float the images (as most people will), you can't use the CSS
clear:property to drop the whole group to the 'next row' on the page; every image is affected
- You have to write a CSS rule for each and every category/subcat, which is brain damaged when you don't know what subcategories will be made or how they are organised
With that in mind I think the plugin will need extending, and as it happens it ties in nicely with the work I'm going to be doing for tollady on 'nth image'. What I propose is some way of tagging the first (or last?) image of each category with a different class. The class name would be choosable by you. Indeed, it could be that you want every other category to be styled differently, so you could use maybe:
catclass="catodds, catevens"
That would style the first image of every new category with catodds or catevens, alternately for category groups down the page. Combined with the
groupname="?c" option, this allows both for easy logical on-screen grouping and also physical boundaries such that when you've clicked on an image in a group, slimbox will only allow you to navigate within the images of that group and not "spill out" into a different category/subcategory, if that's the behviour you want.
Do you think adding a classname to the first image of a category is enough or would you prefer the option of wrapping each category in its own

? Can you think of any other ways the plugin can group images that might benefit from this approach? I'm struggling to think of any; apart from
author (and maybe
category seems to be the only obvious choice as all the other "orderby" options are somewhat linear in nature.
If I go for styling
author groups as well (somewhow…) I'd extend the
groupname option to allow physical grouping that way too.
Let me know your thoughts on this (anyone else before I start to code it up?) and I'll see what I can come up with.

Re: smd_slimbox
Thanks for the orderby fixes, they are great.
Oddly enough, I dont use this plugin, but rloaderro's slideshow, which uses code from this one to do the heavy lifting. So I'll have to ask him to migrate those changes into the slideshow plugin.
With that in mind, what are the chances of getting this plugin to do recursive image selection of descendant categories? That is, an attribute (recursive="1") that would allow using category="?c" to display all child category images when on a parent category page. Category tree does this with category links, and has some functions that could be incorporated.
This would allow for hierarchical galleries which I would fin extremely useful. Maybe others would find it useful too.
Make sense? Any interest in this?
Thanks btw for the best plugin I never use. :)

You're welcome. Sorry they didn't work earlier. It was quite a big change actually; far more intensive than I originally thought. I'm sure there's a better way to do what I've done because it's a trifle messy, but hey, if it works, that's fine by me.
Oddly enough, I dont use this plugin, but rloaderro's slideshow
Blimey. Didn't even know about that one. Amazing what comes out of such a small idea. And I based my original idea on Rob Sable's rss_thumbpop, then over time it's been tweaked to make the options more generic and powerful.
Reading through rloaderro's slideshow thread I can see why he had problems migrating the code because of my slapdash approach in the early days of learning this awesome Textpattern thing. I'm not sure it's any easier for the poor guy now I've siphoned off loads of core functionality into smd_lib. I'll send him a note and apologise for being too much of a hacker ;-)
what are the chances of getting this plugin to do recursive image selection of descendant categories? That is, an attribute (recursive="1") that would allow using category="?c" to display all child category images when on a parent category page.
I think I half-follow. How does this differ from
subcats="1" when using a single category name? Do you mean you want it to show a whole subcategory of thumbs, then another subcategory of thumbs and so on but not show the parent category? Or do you mean show a thumb from each top-level category and allow someone to "drill down" into each subcat until they reach the bottom and get a full image gallery?
How do you envisage it being laid out on the screen, just so I can get a visual feel for the effect you're after? Like blocks of image galleries, vertically above each other, with each block being a sub-category of the one above it?
As it stands, if you were in an article category called 'flowers',
category="?c" will pull out all images from the 'flowers' image category. Adding subcats="1" will recurse through any image subcats and order (i.e. group) the images by category name on the page. Of course, they will all show together in a big lump right now.
The missing piece of the puzzle is what I mentioned in the post above to decoderltd, about being able to trigger a new class when each (sub)category is encountered. With that in place, I think it will do what you want, but maybe I've misunderstood?
Category tree does this with category links, and has some functions that could be incorporated.
I'll certainly take a look at stw's code and see what's going on under the hood when I get a chance.
Any more detail on this appreciated. I'm sure it's possible to do, but I want to be sure I understand the desired effect first!

Re: smd_slimbox
OK, things would go a whole lot better if I actually read through the thread before making feature requests for things that already exist. The v.22 update provided exactly what I was looking for (although I don't need it for slimbox, I need it for aro_slideshow… which is the irony about my posts in this topic).
Well, thanks, I'm off to make a request or two of the kind mr rloaderro…
Once again, this is a really great plugin. Loads of useful options.

Re: smd_slimbox
As I wrote earlier in this thread I have discovered a weird problem in IE6 & 7 with the slimbox. The black overlay doesn't stretch down 100%. It's more like 10px at the top.
I´ve really googled my *ss of to find the answer but no luck so far. Perhaps someone can help me? :)

Re: smd_slimbox
Thanks for fixing the issue I mentioned earlier. I'd put off the photo gallery portion of my current project since I posted that (this being sort of a "spare time" sort of deal I have the luxury of doing that) and hadn't noticed the recent activity until just now. I installed the most recent version and it solved my issue with the error messages.
I am, however, having another problem. I want to have slimboxes for my article_images in a certain section of my site. When I call smd_slimbox with imageid="?article_image" I get nothing. I took a peek at the plugin source and I don't see article_image mentioned anywhere.
Browsing through the help files I realized that this plugin can do a whole lot more than I realized. I'm glad I gave up on developing my own little slimboxer. I don't think I'd have been able to put in as many options. Thanks for writing it, and extra thanks for being so quick to post fixes.

Hmmm, I still think it's related to IE's strange layout engine.
Since the black background covers the whole screen on the front page, but doesn't on the summary page, it's got to be a layout issue and for some reason, slimbox is injecting the code into the wrong div. Or maybe the div doesn't stretch all the way down in IE because of its reliance on having content in order to have dimensions? I'm not convinced that DOM-injected content is treated as "content" by the IE layout engine if the DIV didn't previously have something in it. * shrug * clutching at straws.
But looking at your HTML, I can't figure out why it would do that, because for all intents and purposes it's the same template. There's gotta be something strange about it that's confusing IE. Have you tried moving the

 container about a bit? e.g. putting it inside a different container or just putting some lorem-ipsum text in it to see what IE does?
If you inspect the contents of each rendered output in the respective DOM toolbars, Firefox gives
lbOverlay a height value, whereas IE doesn't (it's set at 0px). So for some reason, when slimbox.js injects the code into the layout it must look at the container and determine how big it's going to make the overlay (just a guess; Christoph's slimbox code is enhanced voodoo to me!)
On a side-issue I notice that the pics with dark background in IE fall foul of the random white pixel effect too :-(
IE really is in a class of its own: and at the back of the class!
I really can't figure it out and without access to your source I can't move stuff about on the page to see what the effect is. I bet you're fed up of hacking around with it to try and get it to display properly aren't you? On one of my (dev) sites I've got a similar issue; the slimbox dark overlay only appears on the left half of the screen in IE; split right down the middle. So I too have to spend time hacking about trying to fix it.
If I suddenly have a Eureka moment while messing with that site, I'll be sure to let you know… if anyone else has any further insight, please shout.

<txp:output_form .. /> tag) and also with an overriden form. I then tried putting the tag in a page template too and it showed the image fine. I even tried putting a list of article IDs in the article image field and it showed them all.
So I really can't figure out why it wouldn't show your article_image… you have put an article image ID number in the article haven't you?! :-p And you're not trying to use it on an article list page are you? That won't read stuff from the article_image field, cos there's no article to read it from.
If you want some diagnosis output, go into the plugin almost to the bottom, find where it says:
// Construct the output
$outStr = '';
and immediately before that bit, add in
dmp($where); and save the changes. That's the final database query that the image laying-out segment is working with. It should show
id IN ('article_image_id_number') of the image in your article_image field.
What's strange is this: if you have nothing in your article_image field and no other tag options, it should show every image in the database rather than nothing [ note to self: consider fixing that in the next rev so it only honours that if
always_display="1" is set ]
If this is a show-stopper for you right now, give it another option
category="dummy" (a fake category that doesn't exist) and it'll show nothing if the article_image lookup fails.
I took a peek at the plugin source and I don't see article_image mentioned anywhere.
You won't, it's read dynamically in smd_lib. It just throws whatever you put in the tag at the page and sees if any matches come back.
Browsing through the help files I realized that this plugin can do a whole lot more than I realized.
Yeah, it's approaching useful now. A few more iterations and it'll really be a monster. Shame I can't make the docs more easy to understand (and shorter!) but it's so ludicrously flexible that to skip over stuff or cover it all would cause confusion either way.
Let me know how you get on with getting it to show your article images. If you want, post any diagnosis output and the options you used to generate that where statement. If it's a bug I'll hunt it down and maim it.

Uhhh. . . oops! As it turns out I was. A bit more information in my post and you'd have seen my problem right away. I didn't realize that it required an single article page, but it makes sense that it does.
I'm not entirely sure that page needed lightboxes. . . I hadn't even thought about adding them before I read the updated help files.
Thanks again!

I have created a list on our new company sharepoint to track monthly sales orders, a kind of very basic sales pipeline if you will.
In our list we have "Sales Price" and "Cost Price" columns and from that, i am using two calculated columns to show "Profit" and "Margin" (as a %).
What i am looking to do, is colour code the "Margin" column as per the example below.
The code i am using to calculate the margin column is:
=Profit/[Sales Price]
Thanks in advance :D

FROM THE TOPEKA LIBRARY -- This Saturday, October 13 will be a day of networking and information sharing from the best social media professional throughout the Midwest. The 3rd annual Podcamp Topeka, presented by the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, is an untraditional conference that encourages attendees to set the agenda. But it still requires "traditional" registration and a fee of $10 to cover breakfast and lunch. Register at podcamptopeka.org.
Rob Walch, Vice President of Podcaster Relations for Wizzard Media/Libsyn, Kansas City, Missouri, opens the event at 9:00am with a keynote talk about what makes a great podcast and how and where you can become a podcaster.Walch co-authored the book "Tricks of the Podcasting Masters."
(Learn more about him at http://www.robertwalch.com/. )
Breakout sessions will cover creating a blog, ebooks, Facebook marketing and creating videos and how to publish them. Want to lead a session? Just e-mail David King at firstname.lastname@example.com about your topic. Session leaders must register and pay for attendence.
"It's your opportunity to meet people face-to-face, which doesn't necessarily happen that often in social media," said David Lee King, the Library's Digital Services director and conference organizer. "It's a day where tech and online users teach each other what works and what hasn't worked in new media."
Podcamp Topeka also offers visibility for social media and web professionals and networking opportunities with people and business leaders who are engaged in the social media world.
Podcamp Topeka, a program of the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, is sponsored by PC911 and PTs Coffee, 9th and Washburn. PTs Coffee will host a Tweet-up for conference-goers at the end of the day at approximately 4:30pm.

A tourney in Lannisport.
Day 20: On the occasion of Jaesin Lannister's sixteenth nameday, Lord Loreon throws a tourney in his honor. Many great knights and lords entered the tourney in hopes of winning the great prizes. The gold seemed destined to remain with House Lannister, as Jaesin Lannister overthrew every knight he faced. It was the final opponent on the day, Prince Aemon Targaryen, who finally unhorsed him, and that after ten lances were broken between them and Prince Aemon himself being unhorsed simultaneously with the Lannister heir. Fighting on on foot, the Dragonknight made Jaesin yield, but then raised Lord Loreon's heir to knighthood for his prodigious feats. No other tournament has been held at Lannisport since then.

Race Car Haulers - Ramped Up And Haulin'Written by Elana Scherr on October 22, 2013 Roddin' @ Random
The very first race cars most likely drove to the track under their own power, but they quickly became too specialized for street use. It takes a lot of nitro to cruise a dragster down the highway, plus the gearing tends to be a little low for that sort of thing, so teams had to figure out the best way to get their cars from race to race. From tow bars to ramp trucks, how you pulled into the track said as much about you as how you pulled away from the start line. Pro teams like Sox and Martin or Richard Petty had beautifully detailed industrial-duty trucks with built-in ramps and cabinets. Smaller teams had to make do with smaller trucks or homebuilt trailers, but that didn't prevent them from expressing their creativity. We scoured the archives and our own garages to find you some inspiration for your own race rig.
Our interest in vintage race haulers and campers has not been idle conversation. Elana's boyfriend, Tom Yeager, tracked down and purchased the 1968 Dodge D700 ramp truck originally used by Pro Stock racer Dick Landy during the Dodge Clinic years from around '68 through '73, and we're helping in the restoration. The truck is in rough shape now but was a similar design to the T-box ramp trucks seen in this story. From what we can tell, Landy had at least two or three ramp trucks during the mid '60s and early '70s. We're working on the later D700 painted in the blue, red, and silver paint scheme. We're always on the lookout for more photos and parts. If you have shots from back in the day, or stories about meeting, working, or racing with Landy, let us know about it at email@example.com.

That's a Super Duty Catalina on the back of Mickey Thompson's '40s Dodge cab-over engine truck as identified by Bill Senefsky. Note the "Dodge" badges have been removed from the front of this medium-duty truck, most likely to avoid promoting the rival brand. Some of the early haulers were only a tiny bit longer than the cars they carried.Sometimes the ingenuity used to carry a car was just as impressive as the hauler that was selected. This is the Bennett-Rochlitzer-Joehnck lakester at Bonneville mounted on a WWII M5 bomb trailer built by the Saginaw Stamping & Tool Co. The BRJ team used oversize plywood wheels to get the low-slung car on and off the 2-1/2-ton-capacity ordinance carrier.Small cars are pretty easy to haul around and leave plenty of room on a flatbed for extra engines and gear. Here's another land-speed car, the Hemi-powered Stewart and Seabridge C/Gas roadster getting unloaded at Bonneville in the early '60s.Pro Stock racer Bobby Yowell ran a series of Plymouth Dusters with wild mural paintjobs. His ramp truck featured a matching psychedelic landscape on the side.In this shot of Billy "The Kid" Stepp's Pro Stock Challenger, you can see the tire and parts storage in the T-top ramp truck behind the car.The long wheelbase and low profile of a dragster required custom trailer setups. Many racers used the extra space above or in front of the car for parts storage or sleeper cabins. Anyone recognize this twin-Chevy BB Gas dragster?By the mid '60s, factory-supported racers were getting more than race parts from their sponsors. Dick Landy ran a series of D700 ramp trucks, thanks to the Dodge Performance Clinic sponsorship.The Sox and Martin team was another factory-supported effort. By the late '60s, the team was campaigning so many cars that it required multiple trucks and additional trailers. Can you imagine the fuel mileage this big Dodge got with two Plymouth GTX Super Stock cars on the back?Roland Leong's entrance into Funny Car ownership didn't go quite as planned. Driver Larry Reyes got just the tiniest bit airborne and upside down in the big Dodge. Flyin' Hawaiian indeed! We asked Roland about the truck in the photo, and he said it was a loaner. "I didn't have one ready for the race 'cause before this car it was all dragster trailers."
By now these two haulers should need no introduction. Don Prudhomme and Tom McEwen flew the Hot Wheels flag high when they pulled into racetracks in the red and yellow T-topped D700s. Both trucks and their Plymouth cargo are scheduled to be auctioned off at the January Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. Expect all ramp truck prices to skyrocket in 3…2…1…By now these two haulers should need no introduction.

I was sent two full-size lipsticks of my choice, as well as small blister-pack samples of two other lipstick colors and their lip balm. The full-sized ones you see in the picture above are Sunkissed and Petal Pusher. I didn't even realize until about a week after I started testing out the products that Red Apple has a variety of formulas, and the two I chose happened to both be the same formula, the Summer Passion line (denoted with the abbreviation SP on the website, when you're looking at the full selection of lipstick colors). Here are swatches of all four of the colors I received, first in direct natural light and then in the shade. From left to right: Petal Pusher, Sunkissed, Secrets, and Strawberry Lips.
|Direct natural light: Petal Pusher, Sunkissed, Secrets, Strawberry Lips
|Shade: Petal Pusher, Sunkissed, Secrets, Strawberry Lips
I have to say that I really like the Summer Passion formula. All of the lipsticks I've found to date that are actively moisturizing to my lips have also been thick, balmy, and glossy in finish (such as Chantecaille Lip Chics, Guerlain Rouge Automatiques, Sonia Kashuk Shine Luxe lipsticks, etc.); the Red Apple Summer Passion lipsticks are a new breed to me, moisturizing and yet thin. They are not fully matte, but they aren't overly glossy either, and I can barely feel them on my lips - far from the juicy, plump-feeling lips I get with the other formulas I mentioned (note: not plumping, just plump). I think people who have dry lips but dislike that thick and balmy feel of the other lipstick formulas I named just might find the Summer Passion lipsticks a dream come true. I find I can comfortably wear Sunkissed and Petal Pusher for hours and my lips don't start peeling, as they do with many other thinner formulas. Awesome! Here they are on my lips:
|Petal Pusher
What fun warm-weather colors, right?! I LOVE bright cool pinks and orange-red colors in summertime.
Unfortunately, I didn't have quite as good of luck with the other two lipsticks, Secrets and Strawberry Lips. They weren't as comfortable on my lips, and I did find they made my lips peel after a couple of hours of wear, though not horrendously so. The Rallye balm didn't dry out my lips, but it didn't improve them either. I think the main problem for me was that it was so thin, it wouldn't stay on my lips more than an hour (and since I know you'll ask: no, I have no idea what "Rallye" means). In my experience, the stickier a balm is, the longer it lasts! That stickiness can be annoying if your hair gets in your face, so a thinner balm might be nice, but I also don't see any point to using a lip balm that doesn't last long enough on the lips to provide any benefit.
Here are those two colors on my lips (I didn't bother swatching the Rallye balm since it's just clear shine):
|Strawberry Lips
Final verdict? Love, love, love the Summer Passion lipsticks. My only complaint, which I mention because I know it will be important to some of you, is about the packaging. If you enlarge the first picture in this post, you'll see that the bottom half of the tubes have tiny bumps all over them, clearly by design. Boyfriend likened the feel of it as being similar to a pistol grip. On the one hand, it's ultra-functional; if you're digging around in the bottom of your purse for one of these tubes, you're going to know you've found it the second you touch that bumpy surface. There won't be any mistaking a pen or tampon for these, that's for sure. But on the other hand... it's ugly. :( These lipsticks have a truly fantastic formula, but if I were to pay $23.50 per lipstick like Red Apple charges on their website for the Summer Passion line, I'd like to see more elegant, luxurious packaging than this.
ON THAT NOTE (about the product cost), though, I was just poking around on the Red Apple site and discovered something totally awesome. They have a program through which you can send in any used cosmetic item, as long as it's not completely used up, and receive their products at discount. It amounts to about 25-30% off plus a flat rate $5 for shipping, for up to 3 products per customer, per month. My favorite part is how you can choose a "method of death" for your products, if you like, and they get turned into a story with artwork here on Lipstick Graveyard. It's priceless! Too funny.
Okay, one more thing! If you are gearing up to make an order: Red Apple gave me three unique, one-time use codes that are each good for $5 off a purchase on their website. I would love to share these codes with three readers who would like to make their own orders. If you'd like one, please send me an email at sasquatchswatch (at) blogspot (dot) com and I will send you one of them! (Please don't ask for one if you don't plan to use it.) I'll edit this post when all three are taken. :)

Here is the definition of Lebesgue measure.
The standard proof that Vitali sets are not Lebesgue measurable uses countable additivity of Lebesgue measure, which is not a theorem of ZF. (In particular, it is consistent that the real line is a countable union of countable sets, and thus a countable union of measure zero sets.) Since ZF does prove that Lebesgue measure is super-additive, that proof can be easily adapted to show in ZF that if a Vitali set is measurable, then its measure is zero. By the Caratheodory construction, this is equivalent to having outer measure zero.
Does ZF prove that all Vitali sets have positive outer measure?
If no, does ZF prove "if there exists a Vitali set, then there exists a Vitali set with positive outer measure"?

Where to start... with the most important thing: my Number One dream in life is to somehow change the world for the better. So pretty much all my existence right now is shaped around that. I work a lot, I learn, I evolve. I create free software (see more at SourceForge, I write, I donate, I help people when I can. I try to bring happiness into the lives of the people with whom I come in contact. The gift of somebody's smile because of something I did is the most wonderful present I get out of a few hours of time. I respect life and the Universe, and I try to make the most of every moment I am given on this Earth.
I have already taken the first few little but important steps in accomplishing my dream. CouchSurfing, for example, is a way I give something back to the world. Then again, there are other ways to give: I donated some hardware to a charity organization which also helped me when I was younger and I'm sure it won't be the last time I give something back to them. I wrote a few nice analysis articles on The Inquirer (a large IT website) for no charge at all, just to try and help people in understanding some things. These are all small feats, but the Butterfly Effect helps me dream that I did change the world, even if in an insignificant way, and, hopefully, for the better in the long run.
But my most important step in achieving this dream of mine is my Software Organization: Axonn Software Development. This is mostly about free and Open Source Software (such as my Mousenitor or my ASD Clock. When I find a few hours of spare time, in invest into ASD and I hope that I will bring a lot of good in the world through what I know to do best.
