A second-order preference is a preference over preferences. This paper addresses the role that second-order preferences play in a theory of instrumental rationality. I argue that second-order preferences have no role to play in the prescription or evaluation of actions aimed at ordinary ends. Instead, second-order preferences are relevant to prescribing or evaluating actions only insofar as those actions have a role in changing or maintaining first-order preferences. I establish these claims by examining and rejecting the view that second-order preferences trump first-order preferences. I also examine and reject the view that second-order preferences give additional normative force to an agent's preferred first-order preferences. I conclude by arguing that second-order preferences should be integrated into an agent's object-level preference ordering, and by explaining how best to make sense of this integration.

Great way to try before you buy!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SanDisk SlotRadio To Go MP3 Player w/500+ Songs (Electronics)
I purchased this slot radio knowing exactly what I was getting. This is a bare bones demo model probably given out as a promo at a radio station.After using my own headset (buds don't fit in my small ears) I was very pleased at the sound quality. I wore this the whole time I did the tedious chore of cleaning the house. I really have to say the radio made the time go faster. I immediately looked up a more advanced Sansa player which plays cards, has memory to download your own music & an FM radio (this one does not have either , only uses card)If I had not bought the one on amazon first, I would not have known what a great product is out there. Much more affordable then other products of this design. If you are curious before you buy, this product is a no brainer.

I'm no authority on Sandisk, but these were originally sold on Sandisk' Web site. If they were given away as a radio promotion I'm not aware of it. I bought the Slotmusic player back in 2008; that too is limited to serial play, but I like it because the player always starts exactly where I left off. This is true even if the battery is changed. There are no features other than pause and song skip, but it's a steal at today's price. For the benefit of those reading, you CAN play regular Slotmusic cards, or even MicroSD cards you create yourself. The player will not support subdirectories whatsoever.

So, you are saying there is no "shuffle" or "random" play function? Every song is played in a certain order time and time again?
Thank you.

steve johnson says:
On slotradio you can change playlists, if and only if you are using a pre-recorded slotradio card. On cards you put together yourself, songs will play in the exact order you put them on your card. You can skip ahead to the next song or pause, nothing else.

there are 7 playlist, you can change the playlist and skip songs within a playlist. it does not need a random or shuffle, it works out well if you are fine with variety of songs. that is with the internal card that comes with it, you can swap out for your own SD card and load whatever you want. It would then not be random or shufflable. (<- yes, I know not a real word)

"I never spoke to Brock when he decided to compete in MMA. We've been good buds for years, and he always knew I supported his decision. To be able to accomplish what he did and become UFC heavyweight champion in that short amount of time was insane—historic."

When I was 15 years old, on 12/11/96 at 7:06PM, I posted the following on an IBM Bulletin board system (BBS):
Dear IBM Operator... I wanted to know if you could give me the phone numbers to three other BBS boards. The names of these boards are the Cirrus Logic BBS, the WesternDigital BBS, and the Microsoft BBS... Also, if you have any other BBS numbers could you send those to... Thank you.
I found this in a text file I had on an old floppy disk, and now I want to find what else I might have posted on this BBS.
Is there anywhere online that has an archive of BBS messages, and specifically the IBM BBS around the date cited above?

Transform inexpensive framed art from the thrift store into pretty chalkboard signs for your wedding.
Krylon chalkboard paint can help you upcycle all kinds of bad thrift store art into custom signs. Creating unique signs is a great way to personalize your wedding venue, and also give guests the information they need to find your ceremony! Details like this can be costly, but if you do-it-yourself, every penny you save can go towards the honeymoon fund!
This simple project also uses Krylon paint to unify mismatched frames into a colorful statement for your wedding. Pick your favorite from over 60 colors, and afterwards, bring the chalkboard into your home and use it for jotting down love notes or doodles. The paint is durable enough that they will function beautifully long after the honeymoon is over.
Gather all your materials and lay down paper or a drop cloth to protect your workspace.
Rattle the paint can for at least 2 minutes to mix the paint well. Hold the can about 12 inches from the frame and paint. Keep the can moving and use smooth, even strokes. To get the best coverage apply at least two thin coats of paint. Let the paint dry for 10 minutes between coats, but apply them within an hour.
Shake the Krylon Chalkboard Spray Paint very well, for at least 2 minutes after the rattle ball comes loose. Keep the can about 12" away from the surface you are painting, and keep shaking the can as you work. Adding several thin coats is the best way to get perfect coverage and a perfect finish.
Give the chalkboard paint a full 24 hours to dry and cure. After it is completely dry, prime the surface by dragging the long edge of piece of chalk along the board to scuff it up. Then, erase those markings with a piece of paper towel.

At my work we are using sharepoint for an intranet (acessed internally)
so if you go to http://intranet you will be redirected to the intranet site.
I want to create other sites that make use active directory but can only be accessed internaly.
i.e. if I create a site, how can i set it up such that if anyone internally types http://myinternalsite then they can view a site that can only be accessed by employees internally?
or is there a better way of doing this?
the idea being i can create numerous in house tools (in the form of websites) and i can choose to name it whatever i want, which can then be accessed internally by staff.

Nancy Pelosi Will Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
The speaker of the House is putting out feelers among Democrats. Would they support her as minority leader?
In her first interview after a historic drubbing on Tuesday, Nancy Pelosi told ABC News's Diane Sawyer on the topic of whether she would try to remain the leader of the Democratic Party in the House or step down, "I'll have a conversation with my caucus, I'll have a conversation with my family, and pray over it, and decide how to go forward." While that's about as vague is it comes, Pelosi was pretty widely expected to step aside from the leadership post, and possibly even retire altogether. After all, the Democrats had lost at least 60 seats.
But Pelosi seems to have other plans. ABC News is reporting that "Pelosi is seriously considering staying in Congress and running for the position of minority leader," and that she's been "methodically calling every Democratic House member who won on Tuesday" and gauging their support. Similarly, Politico claims that Pelosi and surrogates are "working her way through most, if not all, the Democratic Caucus," seeking feedback.
Democratic congressmen who aren't enamored with the idea already have an alternative: North Carolina Blue Dog Heath Shuler, who had previously promised during the campaign to run against Pelosi for Speaker of the House, has now expressed interest in running for minority leader "if there's not a viable alternative" to Pelosi.
While Shuler can certainly make a strong case for some new blood in the party leadership again, they lost 60 seats Pelosi's allies have an argument of their own.
Some Pelosi stalwarts believe she shouldn't be punished for electoral losses after faithfully executing the party's agenda in such an effective manner that her name is now mentioned among those of the most powerful speakers in history.
Supporters and critics alike acknowledge her skill and energy in bringing Democrats out of the minority in 2006 and the monster fundraising ability that helped Democrats compete — even in districts where they ultimately lost.
When it comes down to it, Pelosi probably has the numbers on her side. The Blue Dogs that would have been Shuler's base of support were decimated on Tuesday, and now number only 28 members. Overall, most of the Democrats picked off in the Republican tide 48 out of 60, by one party strategist's count were moderates representing swing districts, resulting in a Democratic caucus that is now more liberal than it was before. That's a blessing in disguise for the personal ambitions of Pelosi.

The number of Georgia judges who have resigned under clouds of scandal is mounting. After two Atlanta-area judges stepped down this month, a total of sixteen Georgia judges have left their benches in the past two-years amidst controversy and suspicion. Some of the cases involve sexual improprieties, voter fraud and a gross ignorance of the law.

The Gleaner, Mike Lawrence, Associated Press
NEW YORK — When Beth Hendrickson first proposed selling garbage bags instead of candy as a school fundraiser, "people laughed at us."
They don't laugh anymore. Hendrickson, principal of St. Ann Interparochial School in Morganfield, Ky., says the school makes $20,000 a year selling garbage bags. And it's not just parents of the school's 230 students who buy them. Local businesses and government offices in Morganfield — population 3,500 — buy garbage bags from the school as well.
"Nobody needs candy," Hendrickson says. "But trash bags — that's something everybody needs."
The trash bag sale, done through Bags for Bucks, is just one alternative to the candy-and-gift wrap sales that so many communities hold when school fundraising efforts resume each fall. Some PTAs are going high-tech, using online platforms to solicit and process donations, selling digital images of kids' artwork on coffee mugs or magnets, and hosting scavenger hunts where clues are collected with cellphone photos. And a few school groups have stopped selling products altogether, instead encouraging parents to simply write checks.
But others, like Hendrickson, are experimenting with sales of unusual products. The garbage bags were such a hit that when a company called Amadora approached Hendrickson about selling bed sheets, she gave it a try. The first year, the school sold about $16,000 worth of sheets to fund new classroom technology. Last year, sheet sales dropped to $9,000 — after all, how many sheets do families at one small school need? — but the company introduced new prints this year, so Hendrickson's giving it another go.
Not all schools have found success with alternative products, however. Potter Road Elementary School in Framingham, Mass., tried selling organic goodies and items made from recycled materials through a company called Greenraising. Nancy Novo O'Connor, co-president of the parent-teacher organization, said Greenraising was a great vendor to work with, but the organic products "did not raise nearly as much money" as the traditional sale of chocolates and wrapping paper, so they went back to a previous vendor.
Some schools have done away with catalog sales altogether, instead asking parents to make direct donations. Alison Oleson, former president of the Sleepy Hollow PTA in Falls Church, Va., said with both parents working in so many families, people just don't have time "to go out and get their kids to sell things. And schools can't get the volunteers to sit there and sort the wrapping paper and candy when it comes in."
Another reason to drop catalog sales is that schools only keep a portion of what they sell — 42 percent on average, according to the Association of Fund-Raising Distributors and Suppliers. A letter to Sleepy Hollow parents explaining the switch noted that "the exciting part of this fundraising program is that 100 percent of your donation goes to support PTA programs (not 50 percent, as before) and it is tax deductible!"
But there's one line of products Oleson hopes schools keep selling: mugs, T-shirts, bags and trivets bearing images of kids' artwork. "I like that because it has sentimental value," Oleson said. "They do it right before Mother's Day, and the kids can feel proud of it."
Some parent organizations now accept donations online. But that involves third-party sites that charge fees to process the funds, which raises the question: If supporters can click on a link in an email to donate by credit card, will more people give because it's easier than writing a check? Or will the fees hurt the bottom line?

MacroGenics entered into a license agreement with Gilead Sciences for the development and commercialization of Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART™) products directed at up to four undisclosed targets. Under the agreement, MacroGenics could receive a total of up to $30 million in license fee payments, and up to an additional $85 million in preclinical milestones across the four DART programs. MacroGenics could also receive approximately $1 billion in clinical, regulatory, and commercialization milestone payments if all four programs achieve the requisite milestones. Finally, MacroGenics may receive tiered (up to low double-digit) royalties on future net sales.
Gilead has exclusive worldwide rights for three of the programs. For one program, MacroGenics retains development and commercialization rights outside of North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, which encompasses multiple major markets including Japan, China, Korea, Brazil, Russia, and others. Gilead will fully fund MacroGenics' research activities with respect to the four programs.
MacroGenics' DART technology is a proprietary, bi-specific antibody platform in which a single recombinant molecule is able to target two different antigens. Other companies to collaborate with MacroGenics on its DART platform are Servier, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Pfizer.
"As the fourth major collaboration around our DART platform in the past two years, this deal represents the latest validation of our ongoing efforts," said Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO of MacroGenics.

On this day in 1775, General George Washington prohibited recruiters from enlisting African Americans into the Patriot Army. The order stipulated that they not recruit "any deserter from the Ministerial army, nor any stroller, negro or vagabond ...unable to bear arms, nor old men unfit to endure the fatigues of the campaign, are to be enlisted."
Leaders of the revolutionary war, many of whom owned slaves, including Washington, feared arms would used against them. The ruling was not uniform however and African Americans served in some units and some segregated divisions were formed.

New tools and techniques for scripting in Linux
Even the experts know there is always more to learn about scripting. In this month's cover story, we'll show you the Google Maps API, a networking framework for Python, and some other fine tools.
Scripting has always been easy in Linux. The design of the system promotes automation, and dozens of scripting tools are available for no cost through the always inventive Open Source community. The art of scripting is nearly as old as the art of tinkering with computers. Most Linux users have at least some familiarity with some of the common scripting techniques. So why are we still covering scripting? Because this ancient art keeps changing, and even the experts know they need to change with it. In this month's issue, we focus on tools for scripting in Linux.

Lowden-Miller State Forest
Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -The federal Public Safety Department says a phone tip around
midnight led authorities to a dead body in a car in a shopping center parking lot. In a second car, police found the bomb.
A Department statement issued Saturday said agents deactivated
the device and removed most of the explosive material to analyze
Then they safely detonated the vehicle. There were no injuries,
and only minor property damage.
Juarez is the same city where in July, drug traffickers staged
the first successful car-bombing in Mexico, killing three people.
More than 28,000 people have died in Mexico's drug violence
since late 2006.

Turkish Yields Decline Six Days in a Row Before Debt Auction
Turkish yields recorded their longest falling streak since December 2010 on expectation that the central bank will not raise borrowing costs. The decline comes a day before the Treasury's last debt auction in 2011.
The Treasury plans to offer new fixed-rate lira bonds due in December 2013 in a sale tomorrow as part of its plans to borrow 1 billion liras, against a domestic debt service of 1.1 billion liras, according to its website. Yields on the two-year debt retreated 13 basis points, or 0.13 percentage point, to 10.15 percent, falling for a sixth day, to its lowest level since Nov. 11.
"I'd expect to see strong bids and the Treasury to borrow easily in the auction," Bugra Bilgi, a hedge fund manager at Garanti Asset Management, said in e-mailed comments. "We may see some foreign investor interest" in the auction "despite low borrowing requirement of Treasury," he said.
The Treasury sold benchmark July 2013 bonds at an average yield of 10.59 percent on Nov. 15, the highest borrowing cost since July 2009, after yields climbed the most since 2008 in October as the central bank more than doubled borrowing costs. Turkish bonds' returns in U.S. dollar terms are the second-worst year to date among 27 developing nations tracked by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
"The Treasury may borrow more than 1 billion liras to strengthen its cash reserves if the central bank continues to provide more funds at one-week repo auctions and the banks' cost of funding falls," Ugur N. Kucuk, a fixed-income strategist at Is Investment Securities in Istanbul, said in e-mailed comments.
Inflation Target
Governor Erdem Basci said on Nov. 30 a tight monetary policy was in place to deal with a "significant" acceleration in inflation in the next two months and sees no need to adjust the interest-rate corridor. Basci has sought to combine inflation-targeting with measures which are designed to absorb shocks emanating from volatile capital flows.
"This erased the fears that the Bank will continue to tighten the liquidity conditions more and eased the pressure on bonds," Erkin Isik, a fixed-income strategist at Turk Ekonomi Bankasi AS in Istanbul, said in a note to clients dated Dec. 1.
The central bank varies banks' borrowing costs on a daily basis between the benchmark rate of 5.75 percent and 12.5 percent as part of its policy announced on Oct. 26.

Best of all, I don't have to pay tuition or worry about my GPA.
In fact, the only way this assignment could be any better is if I'd spent the first two nights sleeping at a sorority instead of a fraternity. (Speaking of which, I managed to get kicked out of a sorority Tuesday. I'm not at liberty to go into the details, other than to say that the reason isn't nearly as interesting as you're imagining right now. And no, it did not involve climbing a ladder to peek into the bedroom windows.)
If you're going to live in a fraternity, though, Illinois is as good a place as any -- outside of Faber College -- to do it. I've been told that Illinois has the country's largest fraternity system almost as many times as I've been told that the Illini are going to win the Final Four. There are 55 fraternities on campus, compared with 20-something sororities -- a ratio that helps explain why we were singing karaoke music on a weekday night.
I kid, of course. The Sig Eps have been exceptional hosts, and if I had joined a fraternity, this is the sort that would have appealed to me. I'm told it used to be a more stereotypical frat . . . until Dean Vernon Wormer revoked the charter for a couple of years in the '90s. Now they have a different focus and a better approach, and they've come back so strong that the membership is to nearly 130. Illini coach Bruce Weber even taped his coach's show from here a couple weeks ago. As I said, there are no hazing or pledging rituals -- it's just a place that offers some guys a sense of community. They are good students, and dedicated enough to community work that a dozen or so members will spend their spring break in South Dakota building an internet café on a Native American Reservation.
Personally, I think the construction belts would leave odd tan lines, but the Sig Eps assure me they have a good time on these projects. And I see the logic. Spring break usually results in a bad hangover, a worse sunburn and a lot of frustrating hours wasted looking for the set of "Girls Gone Wild.'' They'll remember the housing project more.
Life is pretty sweet here. They haven't made me go to any barn-raisings, and there is a 52-inch plasma screen that is usually showing a game or an episode of "The O.C.'' The only drawback is it is impossible to sleep. I spent a fitful first night here on a bunk bed in the house's sleeping porch amid a dozen or so other guys. Every time I'd just drifted off to sleep, someone entered or left the room, or snored or passed wind and woke me back up. Worse yet -- I get no Marriott points.
I've spent a lot of time talking with the Sig Eps about college basketball, baseball (they're almost all pathetic Cubs fans) and girlfriends. They told me about the time they drove to Atlanta to see the Cubs win the 2003 division series, spelling out Grudzielanek in body paint ("We had 11 guys and there are 11 letters in Grudzielanek"), and about the time they painted John Malysiak's station wagon orange and blue and drove to Michigan to root on the Illini. They invite me to their classes and ask how I fell into my gig (sheer luck, I assure them), and they tell me their career goals. They want to be engineers, doctors, lawyers, broadcasters, financial planners, screenwriters and journalists -- a healthy range of occupations.

These are in the middle to high end part of the paper towel realm. The hold up pretty well and can be reused for wiping down the counter or whatever is sanitary to reuse for. I usually keep a few in my pocket for any mess that comes up. What I like in particular is they are the half sheets making it perfect for drying hands and just right for wiping down plates and utensils.
Jaime P. Posted on 07/21/2016
This is a great way to stay stocked up on paper towels. The towels are as nice as a brand name but at a fraction of the cost.
Christina L. from CMV Posted on 07/14/2016
These paper towels are great. They are as good or better than the leading national brand at half the price. A nice feature is that they are perforated in small sheets allowing you to select the right size for your needs.
Matt M. from Home Use Posted on 07/05/2016
This Towel paper is very good quality, is soft, is strong, is very absorbent, and also this model Flex-A-Size, will help you to safe money.
Andrea C. from Sir Clean Corp - Management, Cleaning, and Moving Miami Posted on 06/17/2016
These paper towels came in bundles of two rolls wrapped together. While this would not be a problem in a home, this could be an issue for storage in closets during winters when rodents will readily take any paper they can. Great paper towels though. We ended up storing these high on cabinets to avoid future problems.
Egor K. from LoadTrek Software Posted on 06/16/2016
This brand is great! I love that we can select the size we need for the job at hand. But first and foremost these are super absorbent and work great! This is the only brand that we use now and we will continue to use.
Kimberly K. Posted on 06/13/2016
The flex size is my preferred option. Bought one roll of these towels to try out and they compare to any major name brand paper towel you can buy in a store. Add to a bigger order to save on shipping!
Eric H. Posted on 06/03/2016
Soaks up anything in the area that it is around! A bang for your buck and are the best towels we have ever used and will go to no other brand.
Kyle M. from Dream Thread LLC Posted on 05/24/2016
What can you really say about a roll of paper towels? This is a good product for the price. Absorbs well and is an all around good product for what it is.
Ida M. from Big Bear Lodge Posted on 04/08/2016
Love, love these paper towels! They are a bright white, they are strong and holds together when wet and clean up jobs. I like being able to pick a size for the occasion.
Gloria L. Posted on 03/30/2016
Good quality towels. I was looking for something that would work as well as Bounty does, and this a good replacement, for a better price.
Artur A. from Moldova Restaurant Posted on 03/17/2016
These are good, home quality towels that your mother would be satisfied with. I think the pick a size are more efficient and end up saving you $
Jarris W. Posted on 03/02/2016
I sincerely appreciate the ability to alternate between sizes of towel lengths. You can rip off the right amount without having to take a full sheet. The quality is right for the price.
Matt S. Posted on 02/29/2016
We use these paper towels to wipe down table tops and bars. It works great in conjunction with windex or stainless steel polish. They are disposable.
Evan B. from Jack & Alice LLC. Posted on 02/25/2016
I'll buy this again and again. You don't realize how much you save till you start using smaller paper towels and not just accepting the large sheeted ones.
Arlton C. from Mr. A's Beignets Posted on 02/02/2016
These are excellent paper towels for the price. I always buy paper towels that give you the option to use half instead of a full sheet. These are very absorbent and hold up.
Vivian B. Posted on 01/10/2016
One of the best values for single roll paper towels that we have found. They compare to any major brand paper towel and at a fraction of the price.
Matthew P. Posted on 12/26/2015
Good paper towels. Nice texture and absorbent. Rolls are on the smaller side. Good price for good product, definitely better than most places. good product.
Michael P. from Mike's Mindful Plate Posted on 08/17/2015
These paper towels are a good price and are similar in quality to some name brands. The flex-A size can save paper when a full sheet isn't needed.
Tai J. Posted on 08/01/2015
I have bought a brand named paper towel with the same select a size option and its hard to tell the difference. As far as quality its comparable to the brand name.
Ashley L. Posted on 06/28/2015
These paper towels pick up spills very well. The paper is sturdy and does not break down while cleaning. I especially that you can choose the size of these towels when you tear them. One can tear off a half sheet or a whole depending on their needs.
Faye S. Posted on 01/04/2015
Great paper towels for a great low price. Why would you buy the brand name if these are just as good! They soak up almost just as much as bounty towels and are cheaper so I feel like this is more of a bargain.
Jozek C. Posted on 10/08/2014
These are some of the best paper towels ive used, especially at this price. They are comparable to the well known brand, but at less than half the cost. great bargain

Vault's Diversity ranking is based on how well firms perform in five individual diversity categories as well as an overall ranking.
Vault's survey asked consultants to rate their firm's diversity

to individuals with disabilities, and with respect to veterans.
When asking consultants to assess their firm's diversity in these
categories, we asked them to think about hiring, promoting,
mentoring and other programs.
To determine an overall diversity score, we took the average of
the scores firms received in each of the five diversity categories

Patriarchal Ideas in Modern Culture: Game of Thrones and Sexual Consent
Duggars and Courtship
by Lana Hope cross posted from her blog Wide Open GroundA lot of people have pointed out how many Christian groups and churches are anti-gay. Even though these Christians love to say that they love the sinner and hate the sin, it does not remove the pain that a gay person has to face. If a gay teen comes out gay, the church will still pray for him and believe he needs to change. Sure the church claims to love the teen, but he's still told he is sinning, and there is still that voice that something is wrong with him, and that he needs to change. … [Read more...]

Hello. I figured out how to put the excerpt box to the right 40% of the slider. But nothing I do affects the fact that the text is hugging the top left of the div. (padding, margin, etc). How do I control this in the css?
Hello. I figured out how to put the excerpt box to the right 40% of the slider. But nothing I do affects the fact that the text is hugging the top left of the div. (padding, margin, etc). How do I control this in the css?
Hi - update.
I actually figured out how to do some limited styling to the featured slider. But I now need some more options. I would like to display the Title again on the left. See URL again.
Please help! This requires some change to the php so might be a little more complex than the above.
I took a look at your site and saw that you have the title showing again on the left. Do you still need some help with other aspects or have you figured it out?
I'm sorry Micah - I meant to say I want the title on the right. I think I will actually include a screenshot of the mockup that I would like somehow, I will either email it or post a URL to it here.
So it would give some visual hierarachy on the right along with the excerpt.
So sorry for the confusion!
Here's a link to something similar - I want the title and excerpt on the right (except on the BBC site it's on the left).
I don't want to remove the cool fancy title that the plugin already has from the left though.
Hello, do you think you could share how you got the excerpt to be on the right hand side and 40%. I like the example of the wine that shows the excerpt on the right hand side and not across the bottom.
just making sure I get notified of responses.
You can add the title within the excerpt container by making a small alteration to the code. Don't actually alter the plugin, or you will lose your changes if you update the plugin in the future. You can add this to your theme's functions.php file and it will work just fine:
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]
Hi moregone!
I believe this is all the css I modified, but I will not follow Micah's advice and somehow put it in a custom file of some sort, in keeping with his recommendation to not modify the plugin.
.promo_slider img { margin:0; padding:0; right:40%; max-width:60%; background:#fff;}
.promo_slider .panel {background:#E7f0f7; /*background:url('images/slide.png');*/ display:none; float:left; overflow:hidden; width:100%; height:100%; }
.promo_slider_excerpt {
right:0; bottom:0; left:60%; height:70%;
margin: 50px 20px 30px 30px;
If this doesn't work. please let me know and I'll scour the css to see if there's anything I missed - but I think this is all!
I mean I will NOW follow Micah's advice.
Hi Micah,
Thanks again for your reply.
It's so great to hear back!
The code came through in the email - so I copied and pasted it. There were some errors, but I noticed some funny characters, that I think were lost in the translation when the code got emailed. Can you try sending again?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION .
Sorry about that, apparently WordPress doesn't let you know when you submit the comment that the code exceeds the max number of lines. Here is a link: http://pastebin.com/SachmVnS
Fantastic - thanks much.
it works - all that's left is to style it like I want to. Thanks for the help! I never could have figured that out the way I was going yesterday. I'm resolving this.
Marisqa, Congratulations, I am impressed what you did with the slider and will revisit this page for making alterations to my slider. ellepixal(Ruth)
Hi Ellepixal - here is the link if you need a demo - it might move so I apologize if it's down when you check it out, but I'll try to keep it here for awhile.
And many thanks to Micah the author of this awesome plugin.
