Remembering

Feb 19th is a significant day.

Jerry landed on Iwo Jima in 1945.

Jerry left this world in 2012.

I made some pork pies this weekend for dinner tonight. My mother's recipe of course...

• If you see a veteran today, thank them for their service...
• If the veteran you see happens to be from WWII, listen to one of their stories (if they'll talk). There are so few of them around now.

Slidecast to be discontinued

A sad event.... oh well...

Slidecast to be discontinued Dear Steve, We launched Slidecast in 2007 to allow users to pair audio with their slides. While we have seen some great Slidecasts created, usage hasn't been as widespread as we had hoped, and we have decided to discontinue this feature on SlideShare. Slidecast will be retired in two phases: The ability to create Slidecasts will cease on Feb. 28, 2014 Existing Slidecasts will be converted to static presentations on SlideShare on April 30, 2014 To save Slidecast files in their original form, creators can download their Slidecasts from their 'My Uploads' section by April 30, 2014. After April 30, we'll convert existing Slidecasts (on the SlideShare site and embeds on other sites) into static presentations, so that there is not complete loss of content. For more information, please read FAQs. We are sad that Slidecast is going away, but we want to focus on improving and adding SlideShare features that will resonate with more users. Thank you for your support. The SlideShare team From SlideShare, a LinkedIn company.  We send these emails to help you get the most out of SlideShare. © 2014 LinkedIn Corporation, 1 Montgomery Street, Suite 1300, San Francisco, CA, 94104, USA

For the Slidecasts that I have created I will be saving the files. Hopefully something will come along to provide this service.
