Our first step is to add the following line of jQuery: This means that we will create a new ‘span’ element which is the holder for the button icon. If, for example, you want to add the ‘Chart’ button you need to add markup to your website: or the ‘Search’ button: In the CSS you can change the looks by, for example, changing the background color: and markup will be: etc. :) We hope you like our experiment.
Giles Milton: GOOD SHIP ZONG: THE MOST MACABRE INSURANCE CLAIM IN HISTORY It had been a grim sea voyage across the Atlantic. Dysentery, diarrhoea and small pox had already claimed the lives of seven crew members aboard the Zong. The slaves were suffering a far higher mortality rate. At least 62 had already died since leaving the shores of Africa. Every slave that died meant less profit for him. On 29 November, 1781, Captain Collingwood was struck by deeply macabre idea. His reasoning was callous in the extreme: if the slaves died of illness, their insurance value was lost. The Zong’s First Mate, James Kelsall, was appalled by the captain’s proposal. After much persuasion, Kelsell changed his mind and agreed with the captain and other officers. Captain Collingwood went below decks to select his ‘parcel’ of victims: on that first day, he decided to concentrate on the women and children, probably because he thought they would put up less of a struggle. He ordered another 36 were to be thrown into the seas, only on this occasion it proved more difficult.
CSS drop-shadows without images Drop-shadows are easy enough to create using pseudo-elements. It’s a nice and robust way to progressively enhance a design. This post is a summary of the technique and some of the possible appearances. Demo: CSS drop-shadows without images Known support: Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 5+, Safari 5+, Opera 10.6+, IE 9+ I’ll be looking mainly at a few details involved in making this effect more robust. After a bit of back-and-forth on Twitter with Simurai, and proposing a couple of additions to Divya’s and Matt’s demos using jsbin, I felt like documenting and explaining the parts that make up this technique. The basic technique There is no need for extra markup, the effect can be applied to a single element. The pseudo-elements need to be positioned and given explicit or implicit dimensions. The next step is to add a CSS3 box-shadow and apply CSS3 transforms. One of the pseudo-elements then needs to be positioned on the other side of the element and rotated in the opposite direction.

What's a placeholder? Well, when you're working on a new website, isn't it a waste of time to use stock images, cropped to the right dimensions? A placeholder service allows you to automatically use a random image at the desired dimensions with minimal effort. In the last week, I've compiled a list - in no particular order - of what I consider to be the most useful and flexible placeholder services on the web. Certainly, for most of you, you'll end up picking one or two of the following to use in your own projects. 1 - PlaceKitten A quick and simple service for getting pictures of kittens for use as placeholders in your designs or code. Usage Follow the placekitten.com url with your desired dimensions. 2 - Placehold.it A quick and simple image placeholder service. Note that, with this service, you set your dimensions more traditionally, rather than separating the widths and heights into segments. 3 - SheenHolders Conclusion

I Went to a Female Masturbation Class The day before Hurricane Sandy hit New York City I had one main concern: I hope my vagina looks awesome. I was on my way to a female group masturbation workshop where I was going to be “playing the clitar” in front of strangers for approximately five hours. If the world was ending, at least I was leaving with a bang. Multiple bangs if I was lucky. The leader of the workshop is the legendary 83-year-old sex educator, Betty Dodson. Talking to Betty, it’s impossible to believe she’s an octogenarian. Originally a fine artist, Betty changed careers in the '70s when she discovered feminism and the sexual revolution. She explained, “Orgasms have been very important to my life. On my way to Betty’s apartment, I tried to imagine what we could possibly do for five whole hours. When I arrived at the apartment, Carlin Ross, Betty’s smokin’ hot protégé, opened the door completely nude. When I entered the main room there were seven nude women lying on towels and cushions casually chatting.
