Extending the jQuery Rambling Slider

One of the core features added in version 0.2.0 of the jQuery Rambling Slider is the ability to customize the transitions between images, between flash elements and between an image and a flash element.

As it is described in the Adding and Overriding Transitions page in the project’s wiki, in order to do this you have to something like this:
```
$(window).load(function(){
  $('#slider').ramblingSlider({
    imageTransitions: {
      /* Add a 'fadeInSlices' transition */
      fadeInSlices: function() {
        /* ... */

      /* Override the 'sliceUpRight' transition */
      sliceUpRight: function() {
        /* ... */
      }
      /* ... */
   …
```
