Nick Hanauer’s Controversial TED Talk Released on Youtube

jpost — Sat, 19 May 2012 23:06:07 +0000

Nick Hanauer’s controversial TED Talk was released on Youtube after the internets protested TED’s suppression of the talk. Clearly, there are people at TED who don’t want this particular message spread. Given the abundantly clear evidence that the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer it’s amazing to me that TED would bother fighting this message.

Using the WordPress native (built-in) Menu Functions- No Plugin WordPress Accordion Menus

In the current version of WordPress the navigations you can create using the WordPress 3.0 .x is are pretty amazing. Previously, only using a plugin could you achieve fancy effects. Recently while building a large corporate services site I had to setup WordPress 3.0 menus in an accordion. It’s a little trickier than I had guessed, but in the end the solution is pretty simple Using a very little jquery and a little WordPress 3.0 menu know how it turns out that it’s not that difficult to achieve an accordion effect. I found this tutorial in particular to be very helpful.

In addition the tutorial it helps to know that classes added within the WordPress menu builder can be defined this way:
li.main-cats a { color: #FDBC4D; font: 15px/18px "Arial Black", Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; }


li.main-cats {

	margin-top: 15px;

}
li.sub-main-cats a {

    color: #000000;

	font: 13px/15px "Arial Black", Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;

}

li.menu-item-object-post a { padding-left: 15px; background: url(images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left top; padding-top: 3px; }

As you can see all I needed to do was add a class in the menu builder and setup that class to have some different font styling than the rest to look really good. In this case the class set in the WordPress menu generator was “main-cats” and “sub-main-cats”. But in order to set the styles you must use “li.menu-cats”.

This is part of the constantly growing “organism” of US missile defense. These satellite dishes are used in drone attacks and other “intelligence” wars.

Also looks like a map from “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3″. Symmetry.
