Subject:	A question about chocolates
Posted by:	ptocheia.
Time:	5:47 pm.

Hi! I just recently moved to the Denver area from Virginia, and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find mozart chocolates (mozartkugeln) I used to purchase them from Lindt stores, but there aren't any Lindt stores out here. They might be carried at chocolate shops that have a lot of imported European sweets, but doing a google search wasn't all that helpful for me. Any recommendations for shops I should check?

Thanks!

Time:	8:00 am.

OK, before I begin a spate of research, I'd like to have somewhere to start.

I'm looking into cart systems I can integrate into a website. Not Paypal, but perhaps with Paypal-like ease? I have someone who would like me to build them a product site with one page where they can sell their items. They don't want to use Paypal, so I must begin a search for something else.

Any suggestions would be fantastic!

Subject:	Dreamweaver 8 - Spacing problems
Posted by:	dimension_view.
Time:	8:26 pm.

I've two problems here:

1) When I hit 'enter' to type another line, I get paragraph spacing. How do I get line spacing instead? Or at least decrease the paragraph margins,

2) If I have two or more columns and I type in one column, the spacing of the text in the other columns go haywire. How do I make the text in all the columns align the same?

Here:

I'm a newbie so please help. Btw I would like to know how to adjust these by using the design view. I don't want to touch the codes unless I really have to. Help?

Looking at a site for somebody and it's extensively using IFrame.

I don't have any experience with IFrame and I was wondering:

What do you think of IFrame. Is it good/bad?
It looks somewhat straightforward, will it be easy to edit?

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Subject:	Problem with embeded music files
Posted by:	ladybeth.
Time:	7:26 pm.

My grandmother runs a web-based film magazine called Arabella & Co and often we post music files to go with films that we are featuring. This time around we are having an odd problem. Half the people testing the page are getting the music, the other half are either not getting anything, a broken link image or having the music playing all at once depending on the browser used.

I am not the actual webperson for this website, who apparently is not having the issues that we and the various testers are having.

The files being used are MP3 and what we want is for people to be able to play the files as they go through the page at their own speed.

This is what we have gotten in results:

Firefox - Half get music, other half nothing at all.
Internet Explorer - They get a Quick time image with ? but nothing plays
Chrome - all five embedded music files play at the same time upon loading the page.
AOL - nothing or quick time image with ?

We couldn't find someone to test it in Safari.

A few people I asked to test it never told me what browser they used, but it seemed to be the same. one or two would get the music, and two or three wouldn't get anything at all. One said she got the play image but when she clicks on it nothing happens.

This is the code we have been using, minus *:

*embed *src="images*/baritoncorner/*AhSweet Mystery Of Life.mp3*" width="50" height="32" controls="CONSOLE" autostart="false" *loop="FALSE"* */embed*

Please help. I am going to scream.

I was working on my site earlier this week and now I can't change anything. Whenever I press upload onto site nothing changes. So I deleted everything. Pages that show up don't even exist on my server, or in my computer's folder. I went so far as to delete my entire website on dreamweaver. I clicked remove site and made another one and connected that with my domain and such. It still shows my old site. So now I have absolutely no idea how to edit it because the previous site was deleted.

Subject:	And while I'm at it, a restaurant review...
Posted by:	rhianonrocks.
Time:	10:44 pm.

Looking for good Thai food and good service? Then don't go to Siam Off the Square (formerly Siam House on Eagle and Ave A)! I went there a few weeks ago with some friends and had, hands down, the most unpleasant dining experience of my entire life.

The owner/waiter was the biggest problem - he was extremely rude to us. He wouldn't bring water to one of my friends b/c she wasn't eating: he made a snide comment about how he didn't run a place for people to just hang out (there were six other people in the party who were eating!). He didn't refill any of the rest of our waters even once the entire evening. He took the order of a party that came in well after we did before he took our order. When he finally took our order, he brought up a quiet conversation my friends and I had had earlier that he was absolutely no part of, which made all of us uncomfortable. He refused to serve me vegetable curry even though it was on the menu and I made it very clear when I ordered it that I didn't want tofu. And to top it all off, the food wasn't even that great. Definitely not worth the price or the crappy service. Andaman has better food and service any day of the week. Even Sukho Thai is a better value than this was. We were all really disappointed to have had such an awful evening out when Andaman was so, so close by.

So. There you go.

Does anyone know what happened to the Angry Fryer/Friar a.k.a. the fish and chips bus? It sold tastiness at Fry and Hickory starting a few months ago. I haven't seen them in weeks and my friends and I are sad. They were so tasty, convenient, and green (as in environmentally-friendly, not moldy...)!

Posted by:	salvanos.
Time:	10:40 am.

So I have this little site I'm working on: Here

When you select the materials (radio button) and choose a value from the 4 dropdown menus (width / feet) a Google Cart button is generated thanks to a little bit of jQuery. Problem is... it doesn't seem to show in Internet Explorer and I don't understand why.

Here are direct links to relevant files:

Default CSS
CSS for IE7 and lower
Calculator JS

I'm at a loss for 'why' it isn't showing up. Originally I thought my CSS floats were just off but even with all the CSS removed... it's a no show (hah). So any help this community could provide would be much appreciated.

Subject:	Shiva (public post)
Time:	10:14 am.

We're back at home and will be sitting shiva tonight (Tuesday) through Thursday each evening.

Thank you to my wonderful wife

autumnyte for writing this up:

We will be sitting Shiva for cyberthorn's mom at our home, Tuesday-Thursday night. The best time to stop by is after 7:00 pm.

For those unfamiliar with the custom of sitting Shiva, it is sort of like an open house allowing visitors to comfort the mourners and honor the deceased. Ours will be a somewhat informal Shiva, as there will be no rabbi or services.

If you come, there is no need to ring the doorbell. Simply walk in and we will be there. There will be some food out, and visitors may help themselves to something to eat. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask [autumnyte] or me.

Posted by:	schatze.
Time:	8:03 pm.

I recently got a flat-screen tv with the digital converter built in (I guess). So I bought an antennae at radio shack, just a cheap thing.

My set-up gets every network channel (2, 4, 6, 9, 20, 31) except ABC on what I thought was channel 7. Usually I don't care but today I remembered: BROTHERS AND SISTERS. My Sunday night isn't the same without the face of Sally Field reminding me to take my calcium supplement and the face of the guy who plays Justin Walker reminding me to make out with my pillow.

Does anyone else not get channel 7 with this kind of set up? Is it a different channel? We have an hour to make this happen everyone!!!

Hey all, I need a little CSS help.

I'd like to move the sidebar over to the right--or at least find a way to make sure it doesn't obscure the pictures and the text in the post column.

I'd also like to reduce the size of the text in the sidebar, remove the blue line on the very top and place the RSS button on the bottom.

Any help is appreciated!

Subject:	adding sound
Posted by:	princezna.
Time:	9:19 pm.

Can anyone help me with adding sound to buttons? I made a non-flash site and I want to add this snap sound when someone mouses over a button.

I found some old java scripts but they're only good for netscape.Does anyone even use Netscape anymore?! ha! I need something that works in explorer, Safari and Firefox.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help and I hope this isn't a totally stupid question!! ha!

ps- the buttons/links are already there- so I don't need to make button.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

timeforcake.com

I think it's cute how when you mouse over the menu it makes little click noises. Maybe I should just leave it out? Does that bug you?

EDIT: OK OK I hear you! These click noises are a BIG no no!! No one knows how to do it anymore because it was only cute back in the '90s. Any clients I get I should steer them clear of button noises! ha! I found the site on this web design awards site and I thought it was a very interesting page but you're probably right about the buttons. I recorded this finger snap sound and I thought it was cute but maybe just gets in the way of playing Gossip and Bat for Lashes. It's a consensus: designers are music fans not silly sound fans.I should stick to learning how to do more practical things. THANK YOU!!!

Time:	8:43 pm.

The service will be on Sunday at 1:00 pm, with receiving at noon. The location is:

Jacobson-Pizer Funeral Chapel, Inc.
1123 Court Street
Utica, NY 13502
315-797-9121

Web site is http://www.jacobsonpizerchapel.com/

Most of the family is already up there and we're heading up tomorrow morning.

When we return, we'll probably be sitting shiva for three days, Tuesday to Thursday tentatively. It's possible we'll spend a day in New York City with family first. I'll post more details when it's pinned down.

Flowers are not traditionally sent for a Jewish funeral. If anyone wishes, they can instead plant a tree in Israel in memory of Priscilla Curriere or make a donation to the charity of their choice.

Subject:	RMRP Auction Donations
Posted by:	anya_silverfur.
Time:	10:32 am.

Calling all artists, crafters, and anyone who wants to help birds of prey!

I volunteer with the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program. For the past few years, they have held a Gala Auction, as a fundraiser. (This link is about last year's Auction, as information is not posted for this year's event yet.) While the Auction is not till February, the RMRP is accepting donations of auction items NOW.

Wildlife art seems to do very well at this event. So, I am putting out the word to this talented community. The RMRP is looking for WILDLIFE art and crafts. Also, non-raptor art seems to do better (which is strange, as this is a raptor event).

For example, when I worked the Auction last year, I saw an nicely done photo of two fox kits receive a high number of bids. Knitted blankets, beaded jewelry, books, and sporting tickets were just a handful of other items up for bids.

If you are interested in donating, you can go to RMRP.org , comment here or PM me for details.

Thanks for caring!

Or have a romantic, intimate evening...whatever.

I figured I would share this location with any of you out there who were unaware of it. Sometimes it's nice to know of a few scenic areas that don't require a long drive -

Slightly blurry, it was bitch ass cold outside and I had no tripod.

This is right off of Wadworth in Lakewood, just head West on Ohio off of Wads, the road gives you the option to go right or left into a parking lot, go left and follow the lot around back. You can't see it from the road, but it is behind a rather banal office building. It was a bit cold the other night for me to get many shots, but this is a favorite spot of mine for dates, picnics or general photography. There is a huge lake, small islands, wooden covered walkways, ornate white stone landings near the lake, etc. It's a great place to take photos or impress a chick that you know some out of the way place that is kind of nice.

This was shot up near the office, not a bad place for a backdrop.

We have a small dog and a cat. We've been using Petsmart's vet, and while they're not bad, the fact that there's been a new doctor - and new staff - every time we go is starting to get concerning.

Anyone have recommendations of good vets in Denton? Friendly is always a bonus, but not an absolute requirement. Knowing what they're doing is. If you can give me an idea of hours and what a basic checkup/shots visit would cost (roughly!) as well, that would be great.
