skriker

The Barguest, or Barn-ghaist of the Teutons, is also reported to be a frequent visitor in Lancashire. The appearance of this sprite is considered as a certain death-sign, and has obtained the local names of "Trash" and "Skriker." He generally appears to one of the family from whom Death is about to select his victim, and is more or less visible, according to the distance of the event.

I have met with persons to whom the barguest [bar-ghaist, i.e., gate-ghost] has assumed the form of a white cow, or a horse; but on most occasions "Trash" is described as having the appearance of very large dog, with very broad feet, shaggy hair, drooping ears, and eyes "as large as saucers." When walking, his feet make a loud splashing noise, like old shoes in a miry road, and hence the name of "Trash." The appellation "Skriker" has reference to the scream uttered by the sprite, which are frequently heard when the animal is invisible. When followed by any individual he begins to walk backwards with his eyes fixed full on his pursuer, and vanishes on the slightest momentary inattention.

Problem of every blog is that all posts disappear in archive after while and they cannot return back to the front page unless the author changes the publishing date. That’s a cheap trick and we don’t like cheap tricks, right?

So I’ve created Archivist – plugin (for WordPress) that does this job in a nice way.

Installation

Copy archivist.php file to your wp-content/plugins directory and activate it.

Settings

All these settings can be changed in archivist.php:

'number_of_posts' – number of posts from the archive that should be shown on the front page.

'random' – these posts can be selected randomly or sorted by date.

'frontpage_position' – where should be selected post(s) inserted on the front page. Picture above shows the situation where this value is set to 1. (Archive post is inserted after the first post.)

'from_categories' – it's possible to limit the categories where the post(s) are selected from. Just insert the list of category IDs.

'older_than' – defined in days. E.g. 60.

'newer_than' – defined in days.

'keep_the_limit_of_posts_per_page' – Set to "true" if the very last post(s) on the front page should be "removed" from the this page in order to keep the limit of number of posts per page. Set to "false" if these "removed" posts should be just "moved" futher. Only issue is when set "true" that you will "miss" these "removed" posts on the second page:(

'title' – defines how should be changed the title of selected post(s). There is added "From the archive: " before the title of each post by default.

Hallelujah

Music and lyrics are both written by famous Canadian songwriter and poet Leonard Cohen but Jeff Buckley has proven that cover version can beat the original completely.

This song even has it's own article in Wikipedia!

Přátelé, přátelé! Již mnoho let je v mém vlastnictví CD, na kterém, kromě psychedelických skvrn, není zhola nic vytišteno. A pokaždé, když můj skvělý přehrávač narazí při náhodné reprodukci na některou ze skladem na tomto CD obsažených, začnu se mírně stydět. Tolik let a stále ještě netuším, kdo to je?

Až nyní jsem se odhodlal a prohledal internet, optal se známých a nic.

Tak to tedy zkouším zde. Kdo pozná interpreta? Kdo ví, jak se píseň jmenuje?

Nevylučuji, že je to nějaké slavné jméno, ale já se opravdu v české hudbě nevyznám a navíc to zní trochu „staře”.

Děkuji předem za pomoc.

As a happy owner of Motorola MPX200 smartphone I am quite surprised how few homescreen galleries is on the web. Situation becames much worse when LeMondeDuSkin was closed. The only one gallery known to me at this time is at Modaco. So I have decided to release my own homescreens. Enjoy.

If you know about any cool homescreen gallery let me know in discussion below !!!
