Griffin's Jumping skills 3 Attachment(s) I'm not sure exactly how high it is, but it's between 2'6 and 3'0. He's supposed to be jumping the 2'0 part in the middle. Guess not. He's just a beast. He ended up jumping the middle when I jumped with him. Link to video: Griffin is a Beast | Facebook |
love the flying mane :) |
hehe awsome. he's flying! |
How old is he? Beautiful horse!!! |
Woah... in your barn it says he is 17 months... Horses bones dont fully fuse until they are about 4-5... They should NOT be jumped until their bones are fused... Which means, jumping a 17 month old WILL lead to damage later on down the road, seeing as he isnt fully developed. He should NOT be jumping 3 feet at that age... Just my opinion... |
I realize everyone has their opinions. I'm not positive on how tall it is, but I'll check next time. I don't plan on jumping him higher than that. He gets worked like that twice a week. He absolutely loves doing it. I really was trying to make him jump the part in the middle, but he didn't want to. I thought making it that high would make him not want to jump it. He's broken fences trying to jump them on his own, which was at least four feet. He loves it so I have him do it. He always jumps stuff. I'm not the type of person to push him more than he can handle. My barn owner knows a lot on bones and growth and she said it was fine as long as I don't jump him higher than that. |

A New Cosmic Global Gravitational Law ….by Tissa Perera 7/20/05 P4
1. A total solution of major cosmological problems, it's all in the Curvature of Space
2. I will now assume the topology of the Universe to be cylindrical in nature, where the 4th spatial
dimension (w) Occupies the bounded radial circular extent and the regular 3 dimensional(xyz)
space occupies the very large length extent of the cylindrical space as depicted below, where
R is the radius of curvature of the 4 dimensional space.
1. In the light of Einstien's geometrical spatial curvature interpretation of Newton's gravitational forces,
I further assume that the correct interpretation of the inverse square distance law is obtained simply
by using the Gaussian Curvature of space.
2. In the absence of matter this space has zero curvature as it should be.
3. Let us see what happens to the Gaussian curvature of this space in the presence of matter. If a mass M
is placed in this space it creates a local curvature of all surrounding 4D space. In the radial plane of
the cylinder there are two superimposed curvatures at a distance r from the mass M, one from the
local curvature 1/r and the other from the global curvature 1/R due to the cylindrical boundary.
Hence the total curvature in the radial plane is (1/r + 1/R). The other curvature in a plane along the
cylindrical axis is only 1/r.
These two curvatures on orthogonal planes are the two principal curvatures at any point distant r
from a mass M. Therefore the Gaussian curvature at that point is 1/r ( 1/r + 1/R ).
This should replace and modify the inverse square distance law of the Newtonian
Gravitational formula. We therefore obtain the new Global gravitational force law as:
F = GM ( 1/ r^2 + 1 / R*r ) …………….(1)
This contains the additional global curvature force term GM/R*r which varies as an inverse distance term with a much reduced force due to the large global radius of curvature R.
Let us apply this formula to orbital motions around the central mass M. We therefore obtain the orbital velocity V as:
V = Sqrt GM( 1/r + 1/R) ……………….…….(2)
This therefore gives us a flat rotation curve at large r distances from the central mass M. Within my limited resources and information available I fitted this equation to a crude match of the rotation velocity curve of the Milky Way Galaxy and obtained the following parameters:
V = Sqrt 195000(r/(22+r^2) + 1/6.5) ……………..(3)
Where distances are in Kpc and velocity in Km/s.
Note the modification of the inverse square law term just so to simulate for the distributed galactic central mass, which gives a more realistic inner rotation curve part for the velocity curve.
Approximately, GM = 195,000, and R = 6.5 Kpc or 22,000 LY
The observed rotation velocity curves of Galaxies are a natural consequence of the new space topology.
Note, that the Radius of Curvature of the 4th (w) dimension is established a value approximately 22,000 LY's. Which is fairly small compared to the galactic dimensions, but enough to make a difference to gravity at large scales. At smaller distance scales the inverse square law completely swamps the cosmic curvature part 1/R but may still be detectable. The circumference of the curved dimension is 2Phi R approximately 133,200 LY. It appears that a galaxy can almost occupy the curved 4th dimension circumferential distance.
3. Yes to Dark Energy(Problem of acclerated cosmic expansion)
I will now show that Dark energy is a natural consequence of the new gravitational force law. Curvature Potential Energy in space surrounding the central mass is given by, E = Integral F*dr This gives:
Curvature Energy = Integral -GM( 1/r^2 + 1/rR )
Therefore Curvature Energy = GM( 1/r - (1/R)ln r )………….……(4)
This equation is telling us that at large distances r the spatial energy is negative.
It appears that this kind of spatial topology naturally has negative energy every where, except near mass. Therefore it is a natural answer to the so called Dark Energy problem. That is, Dark Energy is nothing but a natural consequence of the cylindrical 4D topology of space curvature.
Now, at a certain distance 'r1' from a central mass M, where R = r1 ln (r1), a bubble of zero energy exists.
Below this distance r1 the spatial energy is positive. So surrounding all objects there is a halo of positive Energy trying to shrink space and outside this zero energy bubble space wants to expand. This zero energy bubble radius works out to be approximately 14,675 LY in the case of the Milky Way Galaxy.
There appears to be a Positive Dark Energy sphere surrounding the center of Galactic objects.
4. Yes to Red Shift Periodicity (Problem of quantized red shifts)
This last problem of red shift periodicity happens to be an illusion created by the new spatial topology.
It just so happens that light from the very distance stars are seen directly as well as after circumnavigating
the Cylindrical space once, twice and a multiple times. Each time the light wraps around the cylindrical Circumference and travels the Length, it additionally travels a multiple amount of distance exactly equalto the Circumference of the 4th dimension. We therefore observe an apparent equidistant Spacing of each star image and hence conceive a pattern of equally spaced red shifts according to the general expansion red shift rule of space. I think I have clarified the idea. But lets look at some details.
The figure above shows a star S and an observer O at a large distance receiving light that circumnavigated
the additional cylindrical extent of the 4th Dimension once and twice around and so on a multiple number of this circumference.
Since the extra distance around the cylindrical space is relatively small, the apparent spacing is of the order of 2 phi * R Which is approximately 133,200 LY's, This gives us a basic apparent distance quantization.
According to Hubble's Law the basic apparent velocity quantization therefore is about 2.665 Km/s. This I believe is the basic source of periodic red shifts. This is exactly what is observed, and encourages further analysis of the constant parameters in the equation using a wide set of galactic data. Additionally this may
also explain why super clusters appear to form into long thin filaments and leave large voids in between.
5. Conclusion
I have not yet worked out exact numbers to clearly justify this view of the Universe. I have made a crude effort to find a match of the formula to a sketch of the rotation curve of the Milky way I came across. I am sure, further refinements are needed and it would be interesting to even see a relativistic extension of this formula, bringing in the missing time dimension to formulate a 5 dimensional extension of GR. Finally, I am convinced that such a simple concept that naturally explains all major cosmic mysteries,needs to be scrutinized further.

Concussions and Our Kids
From America's preeminent expert on the head trauma crisis in sports, a timely, provocative, essential guide to concussions in youth sports–what they are, how to treat them, and how to protect our young athletes.
Long a silent epidemic, concussions are fast becoming what sportswriter Bill Simmons calls "the single most important issue in sports today." At the center of this crisis is Dr. Robert Cantu. Cantu has treated thousands of brain trauma patients, from high-profile professional athletes to peewees. And he is on the front lines of groundbreaking research that is changing the way sports are played. Concussions and Our Kids is the first prescriptive book of its kind to address this issue and provide preventive solutions. Topics include:
- Three concussion tests parents can give at home
- Post-concussion syndrome and what "rest" really means
- Why helmets are no guarantee of safety
- Why concussions are prevalent in all sports
Part manifesto, part prescription, Concussions and Our Kids is essential reading for parents, coaches, and anyone interested in young athletes and their well-being.
"An invaluable resource for parents and coaches. As a parent of a high school football player, I've seen my share of bad decisions that could have potentially catastrophic results. Dr. Cantu's book is an excellent source of information that will help parents and coaches separate fact from myth in dealing with concussions."
(Read more)
"[A] coherent, comprehensive look at what we currently know about concussions in kids and adults… [Cantu] is one of the most notable voices on concussions out there, and that's why it's well worth reading what he has to say."

It's a rough life... on to another wine country
Trip Start
Mar 31, 2010
Trip End
Jul 29, 2010
The next day we spent riding bikes through beautiful green scenery and up the desert-like hills. The bike seats left something to be desired, but enough winery visits took care of that. We had a really nice tour at Etchart, one of the oldest wineries in the region. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and answered a lot of the questions to which we'd been wanting answers. We also got an invitation to the grape harvest fiesta at Finca de las Nubes, so we may have to consider returning here in March. Our picnic that day of goat cheese and Torrontes on a huge rock in the sun at the base of a beautiful mountain won't soon be forgotten. Another thing is for sure: winery touring and wine tasting makes for some awesome picture taking.
To top off a wonderful time in Cafayate, we had a special surprise - our asador, Fede, from HI Patagonia hostel in Puerto Madryn was staying at the same hostel as us! He was riding a bicycle through northern Argentina on his vacation time from his job as hostel worker and (primarily) SCUBA dive instructor, and he had grown quite a beard since we had seen him. It was great spending time with him again and sharing travel stories. We learned a lot about Argentine culture from him, and we enjoyed practicing our Spanish with yet another patient and Argentine who only made fun of us a little.
A sidenote anecdote: we enjoyed hearing his overly-polite Skype conversation when he helped us out by calling the police station at the Paso de Jama border (previously closed due to bad weather) to check that it was open. We were elated to find that it was, and that we wouldn't have to fork out a ridiculous amount of money to fly to Chile, nor would we have to waste several days traveling back south by bus. Hopefully we can meet Fede again for yet another asada, maybe next time in California!
For now, we're off to Chile for some salt flats!
P.S. Torrontes ice cream. And sauvignon ice cream. Seriously.
P.S. the squash thingies hanging from the vine are gourds. I grew some once. They come in various shapes, one of which is that bottle shape. After they've grown you let them dry out and remove the seeds, and you're left with a thin shelled wooden "bottle". Usually they are painted and used as decorations, or made into maracas, or whatever. If you were really stuck you could even use them to store liquids, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can't eat them.

Head of the Charles 101
By Christopher KleinGlobe Correspondent | 10.16.13 | 9:11 AM
One of the highlights of the Boston sports calendar is the Head of the Charles Regatta, the world's largest rowing event with more than 9,000 competitors and 300,000 spectators expected.
If you're interested in watching the armada of rowers navigate the snaking course, headwinds, and bridges, here are a few spectator tips to the 2013 Head of the Charles. Next
If you can take the T, do so.
You can walk to the river from the Central and Harvard stops on the Red Line and the BU Central stop on the Green Line's B Branch. Next
If you're driving to the regatta, free parking is much easier to find on Sunday since you'll be allowed to park for free on the side streets in Cambridge without a permit. On Saturday and Sunday there will be free on-street parking at Birmingham Parkway and free parking for 100 cars in an elevated garage at Arsenal Mall, a one-mile walk from the expo area. Next
If you want to watch the action along the winding three-mile course from the starting line to the finish line and don't want to walk, there is a free shuttle bus with stops at the Singles and Doubles Launch Site, Lars Andersen Bridge (Boston side), Riverside Boat Club, and the Finish Area Launch Site. Next
There are more than 50 race events, some with as many as 60 or more competitors, so it's tough to keep track of who's who. Each boat has a number on its bow, so if you have the draw with you, you'll be able to identify competitors and teams. You can purchase a program at one of the vendor areas along the river, but a cheaper option is to get a copy of the Friday Boston Globe. It has the complete schedule and list of competitors, which you can easily tear out, fold up, and take with you. You can also search Boston.com's database of races and entries here. Next
Rowers start at 15-second intervals near the BU Boathouse, so they compete against the clock and not each other. You won't be able to follow a race from start to finish or even get a good sense of who is winning at any given point in time. One clue of how the boats are doing is if you're watching down the course and you see a bow with a higher number in front of one with a lower number. That means they are racing at least 15 seconds faster through that point on the course. You'll need to catch a glimpse of one of the race results boards to see who has won a particular race. Next
There are seven bridges that span the Charles River along the race course. They are great places to catch the action. If you get there early enough, you should be able to stake out a spot on the bridge and see the competitors as they row underneath. Much like Boston rush hour, traffic on the river can be treacherous. The banks provide a good view of the commotion. The Eliot Bridge is a prime spot from which to watch. You'll see the competitors having to negotiate the hairpin turn and straighten out to get through the bridge. Next
Need some food?
There are concession stands located at the Cambridge Boat Club, the Rowing and Fitness Expo (which also sells workout and rowing gear) near the finish, the north bank of the Charles right outside of Harvard Square near the Weld Boathouse, and at Magazine Beach near the launch. Think fair food: lots of kettle corn, hot chocolate, chowder, hot cider, burgers, hot dogs, fried dough. Sometimes the exhibitors near the Weld Boathouse will be giving out free samples of food and drink products. Next
There are plenty of spots along the banks of the Charles to watch the action, but bring a blanket or lawn chair and you'll be a lot more comfortable. Back to the beginning
- Here's why the bib number 261 at the Boston Marathon is so significant
- More snow this weekend? Possibly, but it's still early
Do I have to tell him what I did during our breakup?
Love Letters
- Opposing coaches impressed with Patriots' offseason moves
- After the rape and murder of his wife, a father carries on

Old Man Winter is creeping up on us, so I'm digging out heavier duds. I have mitts, flannels and earmuffs. Who could ask for anything more?
Look out the window. See that wind blow? Where's my jacket - looks like it's going to snow.
In the meantime, I have birthdays. Happy Birthday to my great-granddaughter, Jennifer Miller Van Grandt, Millie Bilsing and Harriet Decker.
A get well and a speedy recovery to Dana Uncapher, Jim Rogers, Phyllis Smith, Tristan Villard, Dorothy Chivington, Michelle McGruder and Mabel Gossen.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary meeting is 7 p.m. Oct. 22 at VFW Post 4265 in Craig. We need more ladies (including me) present. All veterans' spouses and ladies come see and hear what we do.
On Friday, there will a potluck at noon and then bingo at Sunset Meadows. Seniors are welcome to join in the fun of both.
Speaking of both, I better get back to digging for my other winter mitten.

Many help, but few are as routinely useful as useful as an air blaster—and if you're going to get one, why shouldn't it look like a rocket ship?AdvertisementPerhaps because the TSA doesn't like it so much. Other than that, you get a fantastic no-contact lens and sensor cleaner for (currently) under $8. While you may want other cleaning tools to get the job done more thoroughly, the Rocket Air Blaster quickly handles dust and other small debris that may collect on your lens or sensor. It also does this without making contact to your lens, using any abrasives, or accelerants (like compressed air does, and can leave a residue). You need a clean lens and sensor to get clear photographs.

A fabulous fall salad
Chef Melody Bishop of Lark on the Park created this delicious fall salad for our Thanksgiving potluck menu. She likes to make it with Fuyu persimmons, but says that Asian pears also work well with the flavor combo.
9 cups arugula
1 head butter lettuce, leaves washed and torn into pieces
4 Asian pears, sliced (or use Fuyu persimmons, or a combination of pear and persimmon)
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/3 to 1/2 cup Caramelized Shallot Vinaigrette (see recipe below)
8 ounces chèvre, crumbled
Place arugula and lettuce, pears, pomegranate seeds and walnuts in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and Caramelized Shallot Vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat leaves evenly. Taste and adjust salt or dressing if necessary.
Gently lift leaves out and place on a platter. Top with the dressed seeds, pear slices and walnuts that tend to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Top salad with chèvre.
Makes 8 servings.

1 roasted garlic clove, mashed (optional; recipe follows)
Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a small sauté pan. Add shallots. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until they caramelize and turn golden brown.
Remove shallots from oil to cool; reserve oil used to cook them. Mince shallots and combine in a medium bowl with balsamic vinegar, champagne vinegar, pomegranate molasses, salt, pepper, lemon juice and garlic, if using. Whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in remaining 3/4 cup olive oil and reserved cooking oil from the shallots until emulsified. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more lemon juice to taste. May be prepared one day ahead.
Makes 11/2 cups. Refrigerate unused dressing.
Roasted garlic clove: Roast an unpeeled garlic clove in a hot iron skillet (set over medium-high heat), turning occasionally until browned on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes.

I'm planning on taking training with Clint Smith at Thunder Ranch next summer. This summer, I'm going to Tactical Response in Camden, TN with James Yeager. Hopefully I'll get to go to Vickers or Hackethorn down the road.
This is a discussion on Have you continued training or sought training since getting your CCW? within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I get 'amped up' every time I get to pull the trigger (range and plunking time). Getting shot at 'is highly overrated!' I've had enough ...
Yes, I realistically train on a regular basis.
I train sometimes nothing really physical though.
No need to train further I am comfortable in my ability and not trying to be Rambo.
I get 'amped up' every time I get to pull the trigger (range and plunking time). Getting shot at 'is highly overrated!' I've had enough of that.
When the hammer drops, you will fight like you are trained to. Everything is situational I guess. Kind of why I turned down a job in Detroit, wrong situation for me.

owning a fiddle does not make you a concert violinist...
I train religiously (almost), I've taken IDPA and NRA SO courses, I shoot IDPA and Steel regularly, there are fortunately some world class champion shooters in Central Florida and I've taken and am taking private and group lessons. I do regular dry fire and range practice. I probably have a gun in my hand for training and practice about 6 hours per week on average.
I do NOT understand how people can just get a CWFL and then not train to use it effectively. I've bee trying to get my son down here to take a massad Ayoob course but scheduling has been a problem. Hopefully next year....
'Guerir quelquefois, soulager souvent, consoler toujours.'
"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." (John Steinbeck)
Good health actually just means dying at the slowest possible rate.
if your serious enough to have the CCW, then you must be serious enough to have at least have the basics in gun safety and handling.
Not being a gun person or hunter myself, I would never feel confortable in the sense of safe use and handling with just the basics. In Wisconsin, we do not have a requirement for shooting in obtaining the CCW, only a minimum of class room training. Not adequate for gun ownership much less personal protection.
I try to attend some sort of advanced shooting course every couple years.
With a few close friends we try to do realistic scenario training every couple of months or so on private property ranges. Barricade shooting, moving targets, shooting on the move, prone, seated, weapon retention drills, disarming techniques, etc.
Then there is my regular range training for accuracy. I try to so some sort of in home dry fire training at least every week working on the draw and trigger control.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
1st Sgt. I like your response. I agree with the holistic approach to training as I do the exact same. Training is both physical and mental. I do dryfire drills that allow me to increase speed through muscle memory training and continue to take professional combat and tactical training courses. I read books on techniques, mindset and legalities of lethal force so I can prepare myself as much as possible for the situation that I hope never comes.
On top of all you mentioned I also shoot competitively in IDPA matches. I like the real world scenario stages and the stress of competition. It's amazing what a little stress will expose in your technique and mental preparedness.

Create an Impressive Content Editing System with jQuery and PHP
It's been a while since we had a good development tutorial, so let's reawaken the tradition again and have some coding fun today! I'm going to show you how to use jQuery and PHP to build a content editing system that will allow you or your client to easily edit .html pages visually.
If this sounds like something you're interested in, read on. I hope you'll enjoy it!
How It's Going to Work
Of course, the first thing to do is set up a plan for how we're going to make this happen. Here's what I'm thinking:
- We'll use PHP's file_get_contents() to load the selected HTML file into a textarea.
- In order to keep the system secure, we'll limit editing capabilites to an array of files that we know are OK to edit.
- We can then traverse and edit the file contents with jQuery and the open source WYSIWYM editor WYM Editor.
Our file structure is going to be really simple – just admin.php, the wymeditor package and jquery together in the demo directory. You're welcome to check out the demo and download the files before you get started:
The PHP
We're going to need a few things in the PHP file. First, we've got to have our HTML structure ready to drop the dynamic stuff into. That's going to look like this:
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

 <form id="editor" method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
Site Editor
 </form>
Now we'll create an associative array where the keys are handles and the values are filenames. What this does is help keep us far out of the way of an RFI attack, since the includable files are limited to only what's inside the array. File accessing commands and GET variables are a very dangerous combination, so we've got to be extra wary of that. Once the array is ready, we're going to loop through it and create a link for each editable page so that when the user clicks on it, a GET request will be sent and that page will be loaded. We'll worry about loading the content in a minute, for now let's just take care of the links (this goes between the two ul tags):
< ?php $editable_pages = array( 'home' => 'index.html', 'about' => 'about.html', 'services' => 'services.html', 'contact' => 'contact.html' ); foreach($editable_pages as $page){ echo "
" .$page. "
\n"; } ?>
What remains is check the GET variable 'page' to see if we're supposed to load a page, and if there's a value there to attempt to match it up with an element from our editable files array and load that file's contents into a textarea. If no page has been specified, we'll provide instructions on how to use the editor. We also need to wrap all of that in an if statement that executes only if the user is logged in. If you'd like to read about how to set up a login function like that, you're welcome to check out our previous tutorial on creating a secure login system with PHP. Anyways, here's the code (this goes just inside of the #editor form):
if( is_logged_in() ){ /*If a page is specified and it's in our array of editable pages*/ if(isset($_GET['page']) && isset($editable_pages[$_GET['page']])){ /*Get the filename from $editable_pages and the content from that file*/ $page_content = file_get_contents($editable_pages[$_GET['page']]); /*If it worked*/ if($page_content){ /*obfuscate any textarea tags that would mess up the display and print content inside a textarea*/ echo "<textarea name='page-code' id='page-code'>" .str_replace("</textarea>","",$page_content). "
"; /*Now create a save button*/ echo "<input type='submit' class='submit' id='page-code-save' name='page-code-save' value='save'/>"; } else{ /*If it didn't work, display an error message*/ echo "
Uh-oh - that page was unable to be accessed. Please try again.
"; } } }
And the last thing we'll need to do is create a conditional (also after we know the user has been logged in) that will save submitted data from the textarea:
if(!empty($_POST['page-code'])){ /*Get filename from $editable_pages and update file with new content*/ $saved_file = file_put_contents($editable_pages[$_GET['page']],$_POST['page-code']); /*Display a response based on whether or not the changes were able to be saved*/ if($saved_file){ echo "
Your page was updated successfully!
"; } else{ echo "
uh -oh, your changes were unable to be saved.
"; } }
Pretty neat, huh? We now have the PHP part working – but who wants to edit a textarea filled with a bunch of code? There's not much point. That why we need jQuery, so let's see how it's going to work.
The jQuery
We've already loaded WYMEditor, so that makes our visual display/editing a breeze. We've just got to do a bit of go-between work with jQuery to get the editor loaded with the content it needs, and then to return that edited content to the page-code textarea. Of course, you could use another editor – something more lightweight and jQuery based like markItUp! For this tutorial though, WYMEditor is simple and powerful – just what we need.
What we'll do is initiate the editor and then set up a trigger system so that when the user clicks 'save', the modified content will be retrieved from the editor and inserted back into the textarea. We'll also have to save all the head content and put it back in manually since the editor doesn't pay any attention to it and won't return that part of the code. Here's the script, complete with comments (remember to put this back up at the top inside the script tags):
$(function(){ /*initiate the editor*/ $("#page-code").wymeditor({ skin: "minimal", skinPath: 'wymeditor/skins/minimal/', toolsHtml: '', classesHtml: '' }); /*Create a trigger link to ensure that the textarea is updated before the form is submitted*/ $("#page-code-save").hide().after("save"); /*When the user clicks 'save': */ $("#pseudo-submit").click(function(){ /* Get anything before the body tag (which will be lost by the editor) */ var before = $("#page-code").text().split("")[0] + ""; /* And anything after the body tag */ var after = "" . $("#page-code").text().split("")[1]; /*And the code inside the wymeditor frame*/ var code = jQuery.wymeditors(0).xhtml(); /*Now take it all and slap it into the page code textarea*/ $("#page-code").text(before + code + after); /*Submit the form*/ $("#editor").submit(); return false; }); });
Update … One More Feature!
A couple of you folks asked about limiting the editing functionality to certain portions of the page, which is definitely a very useful feature. Thanks for suggesting it, Gregor and Patrick – I should've included this in my first version. Anyways, as I explained in the comments, the most straightforward way to go about this would probably be to add marker comments (like and ) in the html files that will mark the start and end of the part of the page you want to be editable.
Here's a modified version of the Javascript code above that will make this work and even continue working in the absence of marker comments (like if you wanted one page to be fully editable and another to be partially editable):
$(function(){ /*define your start and ending markers for the editable area*/ var startEdit = ""; var endEdit = ""; /*If those markers are present, grab only the editable content and save the rest to put back in later*/ if( $("#page-code").text().indexOf(startEdit) > 0 && $("#page-code").text().indexOf(endEdit)>0 ){ var before = $("#page-code").text().split(startEdit)[0] + startEdit; var after = endEdit + $("#page-code").text().split(endEdit)[1]; var editableContent = $("#page-code").text().split(startEdit).pop().split(endEdit)[0]; } /*if they aren't, we'll assume the whole page is editable*/ else{ var before = $("#page-code").text().split("").shift() + ""; var after = "" + $("#page-code").text().split("").pop(); var editableContent = $("#page-code").text().split("").pop(); } /*update the textarea with only the editable content*/ $("#page-code").text(editableContent); /*load the editor*/ $("#page-code").wymeditor({ skin: "minimal", skinPath: 'wymeditor/skins/minimal/', toolsHtml: '', classesHtml: '' }); /*add a trigger link for submitting the form*/ $("#page-code-save").hide().after("save"); /*when it's clicked, put the code all back together and sumbit the form*/ $("#pseudo-submit").click(function(){ $("#page-code").text(before + jQuery.wymeditors(0).xhtml() + after); $("#editor").submit(); return false; }); });
And that's it – pretty clean, effective and efficient if you ask me! I've implemented the controlled editing feature in the index.html file of the demo, so you can see how it works on that page if you want, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
Wrapping Up
And there you go! Of course, there are a billion and 1 ways to accomplish something like this, and in many cases it would be more advantageous just to set the site up with a CMS rather than using a jQuery/PHP system like this. The one we've just made, though, is small and fast (besides being degradable and a lot of fun to make!) and will work very well for a smaller static site where a full CMS would be overblown. Again, you're welcome to check out the demo and/or download a working set of files:
Hopefully you've enjoyed reading this tutorial as much as I enjoyed writing it, and I'd love to hear your opinions and any thoughts on how it could be improved!

I try to set this up, but it didn't worked. -
Nick Parsons
March 4th, 2010 at 03:16 pm@Sung – Thanks for the suggestion, Sung! I've added a demo and downloadable zip file with all the tutorial files in it. I also tweaked a couple things to make the code a bit smarter, more efficient, and less buggy.
Let me know if you have any questions!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:18 amThanks a lot for this tutorial! It will be very useful for me, since I don't need a real CMS. There is one thing though – When editing the result in the end is an append of the old vrsion and new one. So if I make 10 differnet edits, ill actually have ten different …s on the page.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:50 amGreat
March 7th, 2010 at 05:16 pmHi Nick,
glad I found your tutorial!
for a long time I search for easy to use html editor and your solution is nearly perfect for my needs! … But, to use this on more complex layout website, it would be better that a container (div ID) could defined as editable only so navigation elements, header, footer,… could be excluded from the editors functionality.
Do you think this is possible?
Thanks and kind regards -
March 8th, 2010 at 05:14 pmHas the Demo been hacked?
It has offensive content and doesn't work – it doesn't save ay edits-you keep on seeing the offensive content whatever you enter (on the 'services' and 'about' tabs) -
Nick Parsons
March 8th, 2010 at 05:49 pm@silviya- I'm glad you like the tut! I'm not sure what you mean about the duplicate content – it seems to be working fine in the demo. If you want to send me the code that isn't working I'd be happy to help.
@gregor- Good to hear this idea has helped you out! You'll be happy to know that it is very easy to limit editing to only certain portions of the page. The trick is to add some comments (like <!–start edit area–> and <!–end edit area–>) on either side of the part of the page you want to be editable, and then just split the code on those comments instead of the body tags like in my example. If you want to see the actual code for that, let me know and I'll add it to the tutorial. Good luck!
@Dilly – Very sorry about that, the offensive content has been removed. Hopefully whoever did that will decide to quite being a jerk. Thanks for bring this issue to my attention
March 9th, 2010 at 08:06 amHi Nick.
Tks lot for your script. I'd traying to change the body element by some comments as you suggest… but I always got all the page within the editing area.
Could you try yourself. Then add your explanation into your tutorial?
Tks lot by advance.
Best regards. -

March 10th, 2010 at 10:45 pmThanks for sharing. Very useful.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:16 amVery nice. This could be useful in many ways.
March 12th, 2010 at 02:15 amSeems like it has been hacked again…
May 4th, 2010 at 09:06 amThank you so much for this! Exactly what I was looking for. Works great, too. There's just one thing…. (no, I'm not Columbo )
My editor has no Buttons (for Bold / Italic …).
I have tried using the commands from WYMeditor Website but it doesn't work. When I reload the page I see a short flickering of some buttons.
Do you know what to do?
THANX again and all the best from Germany!
Anja -
May 4th, 2010 at 09:14 amNevermind! I got what I wanted by removing the options (skin…) from your call of wymeditor. Thanks again!
June 19th, 2010 at 06:08 amHi,
First of all great tutorial. Thanks very much.
Just a few thing could you please add a demo? Also the download doesn't include you updates to editor.php (start marker/end marker). I added it in and updated the index page and it works BUT all the other pages with the marker don't work. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if its just me. Could you please update you downloaded files so I can compare it with mine.
Many thanks
June 19th, 2010 at 06:19 amI mean *without* …
one more thing which I just noticed if I had multiple start/end tags in one page, it only lets me edit one section?
July 21st, 2010 at 10:03 amSwitching the Editor to FCKEditor would make this CMS mor powerful. Is there an easy way of switching the Editor?
July 21st, 2010 at 10:27 amThe small CMS is pretty nice. Thanks for sharing with us.
I would like to use the full set of the editor, like images, lists, …
can I change this here?toolsHtml: "
classesHtml: "let me know. I like other editors better: FCKEditor and TinyMCE are easier to handle for my customers than the build in editor.
July 21st, 2010 at 01:06 pmis really cool but it will be great if could edit also images, not just text
Cory Marsh
July 22nd, 2010 at 04:52 pmThis redefines the word impressive.
August 26th, 2010 at 02:14 pmCan you please post an image of how it should look like the final result of the editor?
I have a suspicion that something did not work well for me
cut out people
December 11th, 2010 at 11:49 amThis is quality, glad i found this.
Rob Macintosh
January 15th, 2011 at 07:52 pmAwesome stuff – i'll likely use this as the basis for a custom CMS system. I often have clients wanting to routinely update small and mundane sections of their websites, this will do just the job.
Helen Neely
August 9th, 2011 at 04:56 amI just started working with PHP and JQuery, this seems like a cool way to see the power of the framework.
Thanks folks for the brilliant job
Mika @ muscle warfare
August 9th, 2011 at 09:57 amFor a long time I've been looking for uncomplicated to use html editor and your answer is almost just right for my wishes.
I've been trying to modify the body component by some remarks as you propose… however I constantly got the entire page inside the editing spot.
August 20th, 2011 at 09:11 amPlease note that the given script is HIGHLY insecure!!
By using file_get_contents() this way, any (malicious) page can be included! Be aware! -

August 13th, 2013 at 11:09 pmLearning HTML is like learning a language. The hard part for me is that even though I understand it, I still have to go back and look at it often because I can't remember exactly what the code is supposed to be. I'd like to get to the point where I could remember much of it off the top of my head.

I was on board with Geno, but after early reports of his work ethic and now his pouting at the draft and wanting to stay home tonight. I'm out on Geno in any way. He showed me a lot about him.
=StrengthsArmstead is a fantastic athlete for the position. He is light on his feet in pass protection, and nimble when on the move. Agile, moves well in space, shows the quickness to get to the second level and cut off linebackers. Has been asked to pull all the way across the line and has shown effectiveness in doing so. Bends and redirects well. Extends his arms to keep pass rushers at bay. Not overwhelmed by defensive twists and stunts.
All this Geno Smith talk could be an attempt to trade back and get more picks.
Please, no QB's today, if ever.
Speaking of 2nd round picks - where was Ducasse graded and was Tanny picking him in the 2nd round a total reach?
You're on fire today.
Btw, all of these rumors are smokescreens. None of the rumors panned out. No one had us taking Richardson and Milliner. So whatever sources are giving out Jet news is feeding them lies. The days of Mr. T are over!
Completely on board with Barkley or Geno, don't want Nassib
So a kid who thought (rightly or wrongly) that he was supposed to go top 10 doesn't go in the first round at all and he's a character question for being upset? And then, after being advised that he should go back to Radio City, decides to do exactly that?
Sorry, not quite following your logic. There are plenty of reasons not to like Geno Smith, not sure that is one of them.
Won't be suprised at all if we go QB today in the 2nd.
I just thought it would be Manuel we'd get, didn't see Buffalo skipping their Coach's own guy to select Manuel so early.
Got to give a slight pauce for Nassib if his own Coach didn't want him.
Hopefully the Jets have a sneaky desire for Glennon
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
What's worse, that or a QB going on stage when he's picked, actively moping, and then making it clear that he will under no circumstances play for the team that drafted him? Because Eli Manning and John Elway both did that. There are plenty of reasons not to want to draft Geno (I don't think he'll be a good QB) but his behavior last night isn't one of them.
I agree man.and his tweets about him dissing the experts who didn't give him a high grade also was pouting.. Izdik is too smart to fall for Geno, think we pick WR or guard. Maybe 3rd rd if Glennon or bray if they are still there, but Im ok with not taking a qb this yr.
Because you never can guarantee if he'll be there later.
I wanted Manuel at 13 and some foolish people screamed saying that it was far too early.
Lastly, you just don't **** around with the QB position. You choose a guy you think is going to be good. You don't just go with the next guy on your board. Show conviction, otherwise it's a waste of time.

TOWSON, Md. – The George Washington men's swimming team fell to Towson, 162-117, on Saturday afternoon at the Tigers' Burdick Pool.
Seniors Phillip Graeter and Luke Quimby and sophomore Garrett Cottingham led the Colonials on the day with first-place finishes in two or more events.
Graeter claimed top honors in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 52.68 seconds, while junior Jake Mortensen finished in second in 53.65. Senior Alex Etz took home fourth place in 55.07 seconds. Mortensen also earned a third-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:56.52, an event won by Graeter as he clocked in at 1:54.72. The Schwerin, Germany native then won his third and final event in the 400-yard individual medley with a time of 4:08.37.
Cottingham won the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 59.81 seconds and classmate Adam Rabe came in third in 1:00.54. Cottingham also won the 200-yard breaststroke in convincing fashion with a time of 2:10.77. Rabe clocked in at 2:15.58 for a fourth-place finish.
Quimby took home first in the 50-yard freestyle, touching the wall in 21.26 seconds. He then won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 47.11 seconds. Senior Niklas Glenesk earned third place in the 100 free in 47.86.
The 400-yard freestyle relay team, made up of Mortensen, Nelson, Glenesk and Quimby earned a neck-and-neck first-place finish with a time of 3:11.64, .02 seconds ahead of Towson's second-place team.
The 200-yard medley relay of Mortensen, Rabe, freshman Oliver Keegan and Quimby finished second with a time of 1:36.75, less than one second behind Towson. Keegan finished second in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:54.46 and took home second in the 100-yard butterfly in 52.42 seconds.
Sharples and Glenesk took home fourth and fifth, respectively, in the 200-yard freestyle. Sparles touched the wall in 1:44.86 followed by Glenesk in 1:44.92 as 1.05 seconds separated first through fifth places.
The Colonials return to action on Thursday, November 15 for the three-day Patriot Invitational at nearby George Mason.

Is this true? I'm starting to worry.
On another board, I just read that some documents have been passed that will give China the right to take eminent domain of American land if we default on our debt. It may all be tin foil hat or true.. I'm not sure which sources I trust. But if it is true, we're in very, very deep manure.

Let's see what's wrong with that overwrought bit of tripe... First off, Congress did NOT pass a law requiring "every American to serve... up to 500 hours a year." (Who would the lowest beneficiaries of such service serve? Would Patty Prostitute be forced to give free rolls to Barney Bum as a contribution toward her service quota?) Strike one. Secondly, this is NOT indentured servitude because people enter into the programs freely. Strike two. Claims of enslavement? Strike three.

Louisiana officials are grappling with a giant sinkhole that's threatening a neighborhood. A salt mine collapsed last year, creating a series of problems regulators say they've never seen before, including tremors and oil and gas leaks and a sinkhole that now covers nine acres.
Residents have been evacuated for more than 7 months now and are losing patience.
Ernie Boudreaux lives in a trailer on Jambalaya St. in Bayou Corne, La. Strange things have been happening to his home, he says.
"It cracks. You can hear it. The doors pop open by themselves," Boudreaux says.
The front porch is separating from the trailer and sometimes he smells oil — all problems that started after the sinkhole opened less than a half mile from his house. His neighborhood is under a mandatory evacuation, but Boudreaux comes back a few days a week to care for his dog, Diesel.
Houston-based Texas Brine has been mining salt near the Bayou Corne community for more than 40 years. The company is now paying evacuated residents $875 a week to cover temporary housing costs. But Boudreaux, a welder, says he can't find a rental that takes pets the size of Diesel, so he stays with his sister some and then comes home. After 7 months, he wants a more permanent solution.
"That $875 a week is hush-hush money — keep everybody quiet and just let it settle down. I say I'm not letting this settle down. You talking about land, home that we can't come back to," Boudreaux says. "And if you do, it ain't worth nothing."
'Just Like An Experiment'
From Boudreaux's backyard you can see the entrance to Texas Brine. The firm operates several salt wells here in Assumption Parish , injecting water into an underground salt dome to leach out brine. The sodium chloride is used by the nearby petrochemical industries that line the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
"This is the sinkhole," says Texas Brine spokesman Sonny Cranch. He looks out over what appears to be a lake surrounded by swamp land and a fresh earthen levee. It was all swamp before Aug. 3, the morning workers discovered the sinkhole.
One day the area was swamp, he says, and the next "there's nothing, except debris, floating vegetative matter, and as it turned out, there was some liquid hydrocarbon that had risen to the surface."
That was crude oil and natural gas bubbling up from below ground. It was a mystery at first, but now authorities say an abandoned salt cavern collapsed, shifting the rock and salt formations deep below, causing the sinkhole above and unleashing hydrocarbons into the ground water aquifer up to two miles from the site.
The sinkhole is still growing. Monitoring reveals continuing shifting underground and a possible problem at a second cavern.
Workers are fusing a pipe to vent off natural gas near the sinkhole. The state has ordered Texas Brine to drill 30 of these natural gas wells around Bayou Corne.
Patrick Courreges with the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources says the escaping methane poses a danger.
"Want to get that out so that you don't have the risk of homes with enclosed spaces having a concentration of gas buildup that could be flammable or explosive," Courreges says.
Courreges says Texas Brine had plugged and abandoned this salt mine in 2010 after integrity problems. And state rules at the time did not require any continued monitoring. Now scientists have discovered the side wall of the salt cavern collapsed, causing tremors, the sinkhole and oil and gas leaks. Courreges says they've yet to find a roadmap for dealing with this unique set of problems.
"When we started looking around [asking] who else has this happened to, and the answer came — and we're still looking — is nobody," he says.
That makes it hard to predict what will happen next.
"It's just like an experiment," says Wilma Subra, a technical adviser to the Louisiana Environmental Action Network. "But the issue is, it is continuing to degrade. So as long as it's degrading, you can't say we've reached the end of degredation and now we can figure out how to remedy."
Buyouts At Bayou Corne
Bayou Corne resident NickRomerois losing his patience.
"I didn't do anything. I didn't cause this," Romero says.
In his front yard, Romero watches gas bubbles seep up slowly through the cypress-studded swamp. "I'm being driven from the thing that I love the most," he says.
He's a retired postal worker and his wife Brenda is a nature artist. They've been here more than 20 years.
"The damage is done," Brenda says. "Our property is worth zero."
Nick Romero says after 7 months, nothing is getting better. He wants Texas Brine to ante up.
"Man has played around and stuck his hands where he shouldn't have and mother nature says It's time for y'all to leave," he says. "They're responsible for causing it so it's time for them to pay up," he says.
Cranch of Texas Brine says the company will work with individual families to reach a fair settlement. "We want resolution of this. We really, truly appreciate the emotional stress this has caused for so many of these people in the Bayou Corne area," Cranch says.
Some residents have sued Texas Brine. And Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) is demanding damages for all of the 350 residents near the sinkhole. He also says the company owes the state more than $8 million for its response to the crisis.
"They're the ones that are the responsible party. They caused this damage, and certainly we'll be aggressive in making sure that they pay their bills — whether it's to the state, local government or the folks they buy out," Jindal said.
Back on Jambalaya St., Boudreaux wants the buyout but isn't sure where he'll to go from Bayou Corne.
"We born and raised here. Ain't like I'm going to say I'm moving to Baton Rouge because I'm not a city person," he says. "I'm born in the swamp and bayous. They ain't got a bayou I'm outta place. I can't go to no city. But where you gonna go? That's the thing."

The Safeguards Rule requires financial institutions to secure customer records and information. But the law defines "financial institution" broadly to cover many businesses who might not describe themselves that way. If you're covered by the Safeguards Rule, are your standards up to snuff?
A Requirement for Financial Institutions
Many financial institutions' transactions with customers involve the collection of personal information: names, addresses and phone numbers; bank and credit card account numbers; income and credit histories; and Social Security numbers. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act, a federal law, requires that financial institutions take steps to ensure the security and confidentiality of this kind of customer data.
Now, as part of its implementation of the GLB Act, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is issuing a rule to require the financial institutions under its jurisdiction to safeguard customer records and information.
The Safeguards Rule applies to individuals or organizations that are significantly engaged in providing financial products or services to consumers, including check-cashing businesses, data processors, mortgage brokers, nonbank lenders, personal property or real estate appraisers, and retailers that issue credit cards to consumers.
According to the Safeguards Rule, financial institutions must develop a written information security plan that describes their program to protect customer information. All programs must be appropriate to the financial institution's size and complexity, the nature and scope of its activities, and the sensitivity of the customer information at issue. Covered financial institutions must:
- designate the employee or employees to coordinate the safeguards;
- identify and assess the risks to customer information in each relevant area of the company's operation, and evaluate the effectiveness of current safeguards for controlling these risks;
- design a safeguards program, and detail the plans to monitor it;
- select appropriate service providers and require them (by contract) to implement the safeguards; and
- evaluate the program and explain adjustments in light of changes to its business arrangements or the results of its security tests.
Experts suggest that three areas of operation present special challenges and risks to information security: employee training and management; information systems, including network and software design, and information processing, storage, transmission and retrieval; and security management, including the prevention, detection and response to attacks, intrusions or other system failures. The Rule requires financial institutions to pay special attention to these areas.
The Safeguards Rule is available at www.ftc.gov. To find out whether your company is considered a financial institution, check section 313.3(k) of the Commission's Privacy Rule and related materials at business.ftc.gov/privacy-and-security/gramm-leach-bliley-act.
The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Religious traditions aside, the legends surrounding Santa Claus are considered to be the beating heart of most Christmas celebrations throughout the world. This "ho-ho-ho" spewing jolly old elf is known by many different names throughout the world. Santa can be known as Father Christmas, Pere Noel and St. Nikolaus, just to name a few. Here in the USA, the cheerful, sleigh-riding man of toys is just good ol' Santa Claus. No matter what you may call him, this ebullient and joyful character is undoubtedly one of the most beloved in the entire world. And what's not to love about dear old Santa Claus? Santa only gently asks for reasonably good behavior and in return, Christmas legend states that Santa will leave toys, goodies and presents underneath one's Christmas tree. Making Santa's "good" kid list becomes most boys and girls top priority over the Christmas holiday season. No child ever wants to be passed over by Santa Claus!
Because Santa Claus has become such an integral part of our Christmas culture, over the years many various rituals and traditions have come about, embracing Santa's festive legend of gift giving. Many children will pen letters to Santa, making special toy requests for themselves or they may ask Santa to bring something needed by a family member. Visits to Santa Claus in person have also become very popular in every community, with parents taking children to malls and shopping centers in order to visit the local version of Santa Claus. Kids make personal visits to Santa to make specific gift requests, of course, but it's also quite a magical moment for children to see Santa Claus up close and personal, and feel of his jovial yuletide spirit. Visiting Santa Claus is an annual ritual for many families and is also one that kids get pretty darn excited about.
During the Christmas season, obviously the "real" Santa Claus is very busy at the North Pole, supervising his very lively crew of elves who are busily making toys that will be distributed to the world's children during the night of Christmas Eve. Because he is so engaged, Santa needs many helpers throughout the holiday season to ensure that kids everywhere have a chance to sit on a Santa's lap and whisper their hearts desire into his ear--all while creating a very special Christmas memory (not to mention photo op!) that will last a lifetime.
What could be better this year than dressing up as a Santa Claus character of your very own this Christmas? Whether your version of Santa is used to surprise and delight your own children or to bring some extra jolly Christmas spirit directly into what could likely be the best Christmas party ever; inviting "Santa" to come into your home or event is a quick and easy way to make your holidays truly unique, special and very memorable.
