General Vang Pao

Hello,

After the death of my great uncle NaoKao, here is another news that shocks the entire Hmong community.

I have already received SMS to announce the death of General Vang Pao. Even my children were receiving them and I had to explain who was the general. I discovered at that time how difficult it is to explain what being a hero is …

Only on January 9 I received an email from Pacyinz Lyfoung to officially announce the death.

Here is its content:

Happy New Year Family Lyfoung!

We were too busy with the marriage of Maykao and the anniversary of my mother.

And then we experienced the pain of losing my maternal grandfather, General Vang Pao.

I am sending the family statement attached.

I know your thoughts and love are with us.

Pacyinz

Following the family statement:

I take the opportunity of this article to send my condolences and deep emotion to the family of General Vang Pao and their relatives

Somewhere over the rainbow …

Somewhere over the rainbow …

I propose today a song that I like much and hopefully will be relaxing for you as well …

Somewhere over the Rainbow – Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole

OK this one’s for Gabby
Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo
Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
Oohooo oohoooho ooooho
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you’ll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can’t I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I…I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more
Than we’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can’t I? I hiii ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

wordpress menu with flags

Here is how I included the flags in the WordPress 3 menu.

The following article is inspired by this one http://www.ivorpadilla.net/cuztomizing-wordpress-custom-menu-icons/.

Indeed, you must first setup these classes « francais » and « english » in the menu creation part as indicated in the article.

alternative css in wordpress 3 menu

You have to input the classe in the Classes CSS (facultitaive) so it is understood by the web in CSS.

The attribut is optionnal, I put it but I could have put nothing ….

Of course, the images have previously been copied in the theme folder. Here, it is twentyten\images.

You have to modify the theme stylesheet style.css by adding :

#access li.francais a{
background: url(images/fr_FR.png) center left no-repeat;
padding-left: 18px;
}
/*background: url(images/wordpress.png) center left no-repeat;*/
#access li.francais a:hover {
background: url(images/fr_FR.png) center left no-repeat;
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
}
#access li.english a {
background: url(images/en_US.png) center left no-repeat;
padding-left: 18px;
}
#access li.english a:hover {
background: url(images/en_US.png) center left no-repeat;
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
}

Well, you can see I did not fully follow the indications of the previous article. The author wrote to add « #header ul.navigation li.about » which is in our example : « #header ul.navigation li.francais », it is not an issue as long as we indicate the right informations in style.css

Voila, I hope this would have helped you !!
