Who can tell me which kind of MKV to DVD converter is with better quality? And then, can someone tell me the tutorial steps of how to convert and burn MKV to DVD on Mac OS? The more detailed the better.

I noticed in the articles about former sheriff Hege and others, that former yadkin county sheriff cain was left out. His should have been embezzlement, but politics rules.

Maybe it would be good to provide links to tutorials on how to make layouts that are made by regular wetpaint users. Many tutorials like that are out their, and they are much more specific with how to do certain things and make them look a certain way. But just an idea :)

| CryingDove | Tips to prevent whacked out pages or profiles | 0 | Mar 8 2013, 4:41 PM EST by CryingDove | ||||

The pattern noticed here across the years deals with a 2 layout zone primarily. The page or profile will have some content that either cannot be reached or cannot be edited.
Here are some tips to prevent this from happening and will prevent hard work being lost requiring a rebuild of the page. 1. Do not use 2 layout zones. Use tables to accomplish the same look. 2. Keep all content within the site General Navigation Menu (Home-Help-Discussions etc) right border limit (This is where the problem starts It is when the content forces the page to expand far to the right) 3. If the page content goes beyond that right border of the GNMenu, resize the content to bring them within the framework of that right border. 4. Text will wrap, but images and widgets will not. It is my contention that the "1024 fixed width centered page" format was considered to prevent the intermittent glitches that occur when content was expanded beyond the GNMenu limit specially with a 2 column layout zone. It would have forced every wiki into a 1024 fixed width page. If you follow these steps, there will not be any instances of an uneditible content areas on your wiki pages or profile page. ̶̶c̶̶r̶̶y̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶̶d̶̶o̶̶v̶̶e̶̶ |

In order to keep your wiki free from irrelevant threads and to provide for good user experience in searching the wiki, try these steps before deleting a thread.
How to delete a thread. 1. Remove traces from updates page a. If an irrelevant thread is deleted within 2 minutes of the posting time, it will not show up in the updates page. b. Don't use the moderator tool to delete the whole thread. Delete it one reply at a time until it is the original post, then use the moderator tools and it will vanish completely from the site updates page. 2. Remove thread from tag search Edit the tags to remove all tags from the post. This way they "Thread Deleted" alert will not show on a tag search. 3. Removing the thread from a site search. This can only be done by the originator of the post. Change the title of the thread to Deleted. This way a site search (with exception of the term "deleted") will not show the deleted threads. P.S. Read the thread first to determine its relevancy. Also, there are a couple of ways to back up threads for archival purposes. Ask cryingdove how this is done.

The following fonts are bundled in most operating systems. Here is a way to extend the usable fonts by nine more.
● Lucinda Console ● Comic Sans ● Lucinda Sans ● Palatino ● Tahoma ● Trebucet ● Symbol ● Webdings This process only works with Internet Explorer but once pasted to a page will display on all browsers. 1 Go to Wordpad and type in using ARIAL font, two colons. :: 2 Immediately after the colons you can select the desired font, select font size and then start typing. 3. Once the text is typed in the new font, highlight the text including the two colons. Copy and paste to your page. Note: Once the text is pasted, change the color of the leading colons on the page to match the background color of the page to hide them out of view.

Obviously if you have tried to add an "Other Widget" to your profile today you have noticed the option is gone. Wetpaint will not likely be adding it again any time soon do to spammers. I can not tell you when it will be brought back or if it will be brought back, that is for Wetpaint alone to decide.
There is a small variation for Firefox users to Internet Explorer users. Keep in mind this is all done in EasyEdit mode, you won't do any saving till the last step 4. 1. Regardless of which browser you use, open two tabs. In tab 1, open up a normal page that you can create or already have prior access to. Your homepage for example. In tab 2 open your profile. Keep in mind tab 1 can be any site as long as you have appropriate privileges to it (you can edit), while tab 2 has to be on the site you want to add the widget to your profile on . 2. Regardless once again of which browser you use, add your "Other Widget" to the page you have on tab 1. Do not save the page! Head to tab 2 and hit EasyEdit. 3. This is were variation will take place. For Firefox users in your 1st tab simply grab the little image showing your widget in EasyEdit mode, drag it up to your 2nd tab to be taken to your profile. Now simply drag your mouse to an open space on your profile and release the mouse. Internet Explorer users will follow the same method however instead of dragging the widget you will need to highlight the image and hit ctrl - c. After which head to tab 2, click an open space on your profile and finally hit ctrl - v. 4. Now click save on your profile in tab 2, you will notice you will have a fully functional widget. On tab 1 you can choose to either save or cancel depending if you want to keep the widget on that page.
