Hi. I really like the design but I need to make it available for tablets and cellphones. Do you plan on making it responsive? Thanks.
We are working on its responsive version these days. It will be out soon.

Sorry about the. We have not mentioned responsive with this template. You can request a refund to themeforest but i can not guarantee that.
Before purchase I just want to check if you have categories in your theme, I didnt see it on the preview page , so want to ask, is it possble to make categories ?
Please advice,
Thanks for taking interest in this product.
I assume you was going to comment on WordPress version of this site and not this html version. WordPress version does have managed categories for it's blog and different taxonomies for recipes like cuisine, course, recipe type etc. Please let me know your exact question so i can answer.

Microsoft returns to the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) in Portland, Oregon next week. For us, OSCON is a great opportunity to meet and interact with developers, programmers, systems engineers and administrators who live and breathe open source every day. We're excited to participate in this forum, as it gives us a chance to hear and see firsthand what exciting developments are happening and how and what bridges we can build to improve interoperability between platforms.
Jean Paoli, Microsoft General Manager for Interoperability Strategy, will be keynoting on Thursday, talking about "Open Cloud, Open Data." Jean has played a pivotal role in Microsoft's interoperability efforts over the past few years and he continues to explore opportunities to create greater interoperability in new technical areas and with emerging platforms. In his keynote, Jean plans to address how interoperability is at the core of Microsoft's vision of a cloud that can capture the imaginations of developers, unleash their creativity and enable them to build new breakthrough applications.
If you won't be at OSCON in person, you can still watch the keynote presentations through a streaming feed on the O'Reilly OSCON site.
A crew of Microsoft people will be on the ground and would love to talk all things interop and open source with you. If you have a question, an idea, an observation, just poke us @openatmicrosoft or me @jccim, we'll see you there. We will also have several speakers presenting track sessions throughout the week and I encourage you to check them out. Links to the session summaries are provided below.

Reactive Extensions For JavaScript
Erik Meijer, Architect for Microsoft
Date: Thursday, July 22
Location: Portland 255
The "A" in "AJAX" stands for "Asynchronous" and indeed almost all Web and mobile applications have to be written in an asynchronous and event-driven style.

Ruger LCR or SP101
I'd like to get a revolver. Which one should I get?
It will be used at the range and for carry rotation. The LCR is lighter, but the sp101 can shoot .357's.
It depends on how you'll be carrying it. Will the extra weight of the SP101 be noticeable and/or objectionable in your mode of carry? That's something you'll have to decide. Handle both and see which fits your hand better. Which 1 points more natural? The SP101 will shoot .38, .38+P, and 357. The LCR will shoot .38 & .38+P. Are you really set on .357 or will .38+P do the trick? You'll likely carry the LCR more due to it's lack of weight unless you have a good holster system.
I love my sp101 . I like the ability to shoot the 357 and 38 rounds versus just 38.mine is the smooth hammer one that i can fit in my front pocket with an inside the pocket holster.
I think you may like the Elsie Arrr. It is what all the cool people have. :D My wife loves hers. Cane seems to enjoy his, as do all the others that have one.
Just look how lovely.
The Elsie Arrr!
<1 pound loaded!
Tough choice! I like 'em both. Own (shoot the living hell outta) the SP101 and have shot and really liked the LCR. So this one is a tough question for me especially because I don't know your body type or dress, but here it is.
I would choose the SP101 again because of it's strength. This thing is solid as a rock! I once dropped it on my bathroom floor after standing up from a ummmm. . . seated position and man, my poor floor! .38 specials in this thing feel like a .22 and .357s are very tolerable (Houge grip recommended). I can barely tell the difference between .38 and .38 +p. This is obviously due to the weight of the gun. The 101 is much heavier than the LCR, however, once you get used to carrying it you won't hardly feel it. The 101 is also an accurate little bugger and will take so much abuse. I love the extreme durability factor when choosing any firearm, but the LCR is no slouch.
The LCR is light to the point that you would probably not even feel it once you became accustomed to carrying it. We shot .38+p through my buddy's for hours and it just kept chewin' 'em up. Recoil is significantly more noticeable, but very tolerable. It has it's own charm to it. I will be adding one to my rotation as well by the summertime.
The main reason I like the SP101 over the LCR is because the ability to shoot .357s. We live, hike, camp in bear country and I carry hunting rounds in it while in the mountains (and it chews those up w/o a flinch). However, it only serves as a backup to the .44 mag.
As I say w/ every revolver "GET BOTH"
Last time I was at the local gun store they had new SP101's chambered in .357MAG marked down to a very reasonable price. So I was looking hard at one. I like 'em, the feel is right, balance is correct, the wheel glides out when you slide the release. I like the low profile sights it had, won't get hung-up/snag when pulling it out in a hurry. If I remember correctly it had the 3" barrel. If I got the gun it was going to be an item I was going to keep in my truck. I figured a revolver would be the best firearm for a vehicle because they need less maintenance than a semi-auto pistol. I looked at it for a long time the owner of the store said he would drop the price even lower than the advertised special price. I probably should have bought it. I'll wait for the next sale...you just never know what awaits you.
@ Bear - you're right about the weight being a determining factor for this one. It will most likely be for summer carry when the kimber is just too much. I'm leaning toward the LCR because of this.
@ Shihan - Yes, all the cool kids around here have one. I handled them both,but haven't shot either.
@ Cane- This is all your fault. How did you get the white logo and scribe? :p
@ Diggs- I do like them both and would like to have both. The question would probably be which one first? :cool:
@ Underfire- Have you shot the lcr?
@ Jpyle - I've seen them on gunbroker for $384!! The sp101's are considerable more. :cool:
Sp 101
1 Attachment(s)
Got to shoot an LCR on Sunday...
Owned an SP 101 for 4 years...
Both are nice, shootable, and reasonably accurate for thier purpose. Either would be a good choice.
My 101 seems to group +P .38 better than .357 Mag but I love the ability to UP load it, especially when I'm hiking or fishing in Cat country...and let's face it, by time you know you have a Cat problem your at contact distance anyway.
I understand weight is an issue but for CC purposes I'd suggest trying a belly band before going to a light weight gun. I'll admit, I looked down my nose at them for years and in the process aquired a $2000.00 holster collection.:eek:
I could have spent $45.00 on three different sizes of belly bands and packed much more comfortably. Aquiring the holsters was fun but I'd hindsight I'd rather have used that money to add a Less Baer to my collection.

On Other Blogs Today
On Other Blogs: The Minimum Wage, Washington's New Congressmen, and More
Our daily roundup.
1. Over at Politico, governor Chris Gregoire has co-written a piece with Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber arguing that raising the minimum wage to keep up with inflation, as both Washington and Oregon do each year, is a net plus for the economy, particularly as low-wage jobs dominate job growth post-recession.
If the national minimum wage had kept up with inflation, the governors point out, it would currently be $10.55 an hour; instead, it's stuck at $7.25 ($2.13 for tipped workers). "At $7.25 per hour, or roughly $15,000 per year for full-time work," they write, "the minimum wage no longer provides a path out of poverty and remains decades out of date."
2. The News Tribune profiles Washington State's two Congressional newcomers, Denny Heck (D-10) and Derek Kilmer (D-26), who joined the U.S. House on Thursday. (Suzan DelBene, D-1, got a head start because she was sworn in last year to replace Jay Inslee, the Democratic Governor-elect)."At $7.25 per hour, or roughly $15,000 per year for full-time work, the minimum wage no longer provides a path out of poverty and remains decades out of date."
Because the two new congressmen rank near the bottom of the House in seniority—382nd and 391st, respectively—Washington state will lose considerable clout in Congress with the loss of retiring Rep. Norm Dicks (D-6), who ranked 10th.
3. Sightline highlights a UW study showing that low-income people and people of color are more likely to live close to busy roads, making them more likely to suffer from poor air quality and other environmental and safety hazards as a result. Meanwhile, in a look at how the other half lives, KOMO reports on a lawsuit by U District residents complaining that light rail will bring "blight" and "undesirable" residents to their neighborhood.
4. They had me at "60' articulated coach": Seattle Transit Blog makes the case for more transit investments in Fremont, including real-time arrival signs like the ones that were recently installed downtown, elimination of parking spots in bus zones, and expanded sidewalks to accommodate the many bus riders who board at Fremont Ave. and 34th St.
5. Finally, in perhaps the most bizarre story of the day, the News Tribune reports that a "notorious local felon and publicity hound, Robert 'The Traveler' Hill" has filed two obviously inaccurate "against" statements in Pierce County ballot measures, highlighting problems with the way people who write the statements against ballot proposals are selected.
Currently, if no one steps forward to make the case against a proposal, the county takes applications on a first-come, first-served basis. But because ballot measure proponents have every incentive not to seek out opposition statements, the Pierce County system encourages "fringies"—the TNT's term—like Hill to step forward, effectively discrediting the opposition.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. – The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Diligence held a change of command ceremony Thursday aboard the cutter in Wilmington, N.C.
During the ceremony, Cmdr. Jeffrey K. Randall relieved Cmdr. Douglas D. Goodwin, who served as the commanding officer of the Diligence during the past two years.
The Diligence served as the front-line cutter for seven multi-mission patrols in support of the Coast Guard's 5th and 7th Districts. During one patrol, Diligence located, boarded and searched two suspect vessels, resulting in the seizure of nearly one-and-a-half tons of cocaine, worth more than $40 million.
While on patrol in the Bahamas in late 2012, the Diligence was diverted to help the crew of a disabled and adrift fishing vessel. The Diligence crew towed the stricken vessel 650 nautical miles to safety in Cape Canaveral, Fla. More recently, the Diligence used its embarked helicopter to transport an ill mariner ashore to receive life-saving medical treatment in French St. Martin.
During Goodwin's tenure, the Diligence crew earned the Coast Guard's Operational Readiness Award for operational excellence and readiness in damage control, engineering, gunnery, operations and seamanship.
When not out to sea, the Diligence maintains ties with the Coast Guard City of Wilmington.
From its North Water Street moorings, the Diligence hosts an annual 5k road race through downtown Wilmington, as well as an annual golf tournament, raising more than $3,500 for local charities each year. The Diligence is open daily for public tours, giving nearly 10,000 tours annually.
Upon departing, Goodwin will report to Quantico, Va., where he will attend the Marine Corps War College.
Randall reported from assignment as the Coast Guard liaison officer to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington.

I've been deadheading them but I'm not sure what to do with them now that they are done bloomingand seem to be dying off. I've read that I should cut them back, but how far and when? (I'm in Zone 9A) Any advice on how to care for them throughout the fall and winter would be greatly appreciated.

Laser Sight Zeroing Help
I just bought a $20 Laser Sight that easily fits on my HK Full Size USP's rails.
I've had trouble zeroing it. I adjusted it the best I could, but are finding that there seems to be no way to zero it perfectly for all ranges.
If you get close enough to the target, the laser points down below the barrel. Opposite happens as you get far enough away from a target.
I'm forced to practice and remember that my rounds will go either above or below the laser point when aiming with the laser pointer.
I'm thinking that maybe the laser pointer sight is just for close quarters. My USP is being used as Home Defense.
Can anyone help me out with this? Does anyone have experience with this? Maybe I just have a cheapo laser sight, and have to deal with a much more expensive one? :eek:
First, $20 is VERY inexpensive for a laser sight. Not saying is bad, but is just above the pocket laser pointer I keep in my computer bag.
Secondly, the beam from a laser is FLAT- neither rises not falls. The bullets from ANY firearm rise and fall- they rise to move above the line of sight, and further out, drop back below it. Because the firearm is tilted up. There is NO sight- iron, optical red dot, laser, or scope that is zeroed for ALL ranges.
For defensive purposes, would probably zero the sight for about 15 yds. Closer than that you are still going to hit the bad guy. Further than that- you are probably not in a pure defense setting, and may not be able to see laser.
To me, defensive shooting is for what I have heard called my "doctor" gun. That is, ear, nose, and throat. Stick the barrel in his ear, nose, throat. Laser is really not for 200 yd shots- it is to QUICKLY acquire a sight picture at relatively close range. When things are about to get frantic, and you may not be able to acquire a nice, deliberate, front-sight-centered-in-rear-sight-opening sort of sight picture.
The laaser is nothing more than quick acquisition. You can pick up the target by point shooting. If you try to 'zero' to different ranges and use your actual sights, you will drive yourself crazy. c3 has it right. Set for 15 yds or so and use it for point shooting without your sights. Farther than that, use your open sights.
The bullet never rises after it leaves the barrel. Meaning it never rises about the line of departure or the line of the bore of the rifle or pistol.
The trajectory of the bullet and the line of sight in this case are two different things. The laser just like sights or a scope have to be adjusted for a specific distance. Say you set your laser at POI for 25 yards. That is the point at which the bullet trajectory and the laser beam intersect.
Just like the bullet looks to rise above the line of SIGHT it will with the laser as well. You should sight it in for a specific range and leave it there.
As for price I paid $40+ for my laser pointer to play with my cats. As soon as the Green ones come down in price a little I am getting one of them.
It is like military sighting of the M-16 you don't go and sight it in at 25, 50 , 100, 150, 200, adn 300 meters. You sight them in at 25m and in theory that should put you back at POI = POA at 250 meters.
I know this thread is long gone, old and dead, however I happened to stumble across this somehow and felt the need to throw this information out there.
Not trying to be an ass, just be aware that if you're going to provide someone with information, the information should be correct.
OP, I'm hoping that by now, 3 years and some-odd months later, that you've understood the point of intersection concept with the laser.

Market research is essential before you make a major career decision
Whenever you're making a major career decision like searching for a new job, asking for a raise or a promotion, the first step on this route may be to look around at how the overall job market is doing in relation to your employer and your industry. This knowledge will help you predict how your decision may turn out and which way is best to take to achieve your goals.
Many may find this simple market research confusing and even unrealistic, however. For example statistics may indicate an improvement in employment, but this doesn't seem to be the case in the number of job openings available or the overall sentiment among jobseekers.
This is in part a result of looking at only piece of the puzzle that even is not the most relevant to an individual situation. In reality, to get information that you can benefit from, you must consider a number of factors that come into play — such as your industry, location and level of employment. For example, an industry — like the financial services or construction — that was severally hit during the recent global downturn may take a longer time to show strong signs of recovery — even if the overall employment is picking up.
There are several steps that can help you get a clear picture before you make a decision regarding your current employment. Here are a few points to consider:
Go local
Make sure the information you're getting from different media outlets are relevant to your specific situation. National average rates may be good to get a sense of the overall picture. But you only can make an informed decision if you're aware of the details of your city or town. You may be surprised at the disparity between two places that are not very far geographically. In addition to your focus on your area and industry, you also must take a critical look at surveys and studies that may be produced for the advantage of its sponsors. In short, get the facts from reliable sources on your specific area and industry.
This is, again, one of the best ways to get an idea of whether things are picking up or not in your particular industry. The more faces you meet, virtually via social media or in person, the more first-hand experiences you will be able to hear and judge. This may look like a less scientific way than going through figures, data and charts, but it can turn to be a great resource in terms of providing information about employment trends, work conditions, changes in benefits or perks, etc. It also can give you a good insight into changing interviewing techniques and expectations. Even if you're not actively and immediately looking for work, having such a network of contacts, along with the knowledge it provides, can be a great resource on the market performance.
Educate yourself
Learning about the macroeconomics that control your industry takes more than scanning headlines or following of a blog. Try to dig deeper and understand, for example, what a potential merger would mean for your employer, which domestic and international economic issues can impact the industry positively and negatively. This takes a daily involvement and a dedicated follow up of industry news. The more you immerse yourself into the industry, the better you will be poised to make informed decisions based on facts. If your employer seems to be struggling and putting salary increases on hold, for instance, you will be able to know whether it is related to individual business circumstances, or it is a sign of a downturn in the whole industry that may be hitting competitors, as well.
Know the risks
Choosing the right time to make your career move is essential to avoid unnecessary risks such as not finding a job for an extended period of time or getting laid off after a short period of time. Even if you're only seeking advancement within your current organisation, a thorough knowledge of the industry and your employer's position can help you figure out ways that will contribute to the success of the overall organisation. Once again, you will be able to pursue your ambition in a realistic and timely manner.

I'll start out with my broken query:
SELECT u.firstName, u.lastName, u.email, b.intro AS copy, b.createdAt,
b.title, b.id AS blogId, b.categoryId, 'blog' AS type,
CAST(GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT r.roleid SEPARATOR ',') AS CHAR) AS view_roles
FROM blogs b
LEFT JOIN users u ON b.userid = u.id
LEFT JOIN roles r ON b.categoryid = r.categoryid AND r.type = 'view'
SELECT u.firstName, u.lastName, u.email,
c.comment AS copy, c.createdAt,
b.title, c.blogid, b.categoryId,
'comment' AS type,
CAST(GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT r.roleid SEPARATOR ',') AS CHAR) AS view_roles
FROM comments c
LEFT JOIN users u ON c.userid = u.id
LEFT JOIN blogs b ON c.blogid = b.id
LEFT JOIN roles r ON b.categoryid = r.categoryid AND r.type = 'view'
ORDER BY createdAt DESC
So I'm wanting to combine the blogs table and comments table into one, then limit to the 10 most recent which is fine, but it breaks down when I add the LEFT JOIN for the roles table (both queries). I'm needing the associated roles in a comma delimited list under the column 'view_roles'. When I don't include the join for the roles, I get an expected amount of rows returned. When it IS included it's limiting the rows to 2.
Schema is as follows:Users:Blogs:Comments:Roles:
I feel like either I'm making a simple mistake OR the query has gotten too complex.
Thanks for any assistance.
without looking at your query in any great detail, i notice that you are using an aggregate function, GROUP_CONCAT, without a GROUP BY clause
so, yeah, it's a simple mistake
Adding GROUP BY createdAt just doesn't seem correct. Still getting less than expected results.
The 'difficult' part of this query is I'm needing a column that is comma separated list of role id's That I can compare on the application server (Coldfusion) on whether to show or not.
Just had a realization that if I limit to 10 in the database query that a user might not see anything (if they're role list doesn't apply).
Here the problem presented to me. They want a 'facebook' like list of the most recent blog posts and comments for blog posts (with newest posts first). Blogs are inside categories which have view permissions. If the person can't see the category, they shouldn't see the blog post in the list.
I'm starting to think that I need to be involving CF in on creating this query.
I feel like this SHOULD be pretty easy, it's the whole converting columns to comma list that hangs me up.
yeah, it isn't -- you want to GROUP BY the category, to get all the roles for the category
SELECT u.firstName
, u.lastName
, u.email
, b.intro AS copy
, b.createdAt
, b.title
, b.id AS blogId
, b.categoryId
, 'blog' AS type
, r.view_roles
FROM blogs b
JOIN users u
ON u.id = b.userid
JOIN ( SELECT categoryid
, CAST(GROUP_CONCAT(roleid) AS CHAR) AS view_roles
FROM roles
WHERE type = 'view'
BY categoryid ) AS r
ON r.categoryid = b.categoryid
SELECT u.firstName
, u.lastName
, u.email
, c.comment AS copy
, c.createdAt
, b.title
, c.blogid
, b.categoryId
, 'comment' AS type
, r.view_roles
FROM comments c
JOIN users u
ON u.id = c.userid
JOIN blogs b
ON b.id = c.blogid
JOIN ( SELECT categoryid
, CAST(GROUP_CONCAT(roleid) AS CHAR) AS view_roles
FROM roles
WHERE type = 'view'
BY categoryid ) AS r
ON r.categoryid = b.categoryid
BY createdAt DESC LIMIT 10
note also it's UNION ALL
okay, so it was the SELECT statement IN the INNER JOIN that was the answer…*thank you. Are sub-selects like this only valid in JOIN statements?
Do they have an official name?
And I can find out myself, but is there a difference between UNION and UNION ALL?
Thanks for the help.
in the FROM clause, subselects are often called derived tables or inline views (for reasons that are prettty evident in both cases)
subselects are also allowed in the SELECT clause, where they are called scalar subqueries, because here they are allowed to return only one row consisting of one column, i.e. a scalar value
UNION is actually the same as UNION DISTINCT (the DISTINCT keyword is the default) and indicates that the entire result set will be scanned for duplicate rows -- entire rows, all columns
UNION ALL skips this scan, and accepts all result rows, including duplicate rows, if any
in the case of your query, there won't be any dupes, because one subselect generates rows with 'blog' and the other generates rows with 'comment'

Mobile TV... But Why?
The BBC is running an article talking about a huge project in the UK where the purpose seems to be to... completely recreate the television broadcast system but for mobile phones. It sounds complex, expensives... and useless. Over at TheFeature, I've written up a longer article suggesting some of the reasons people don't want television recreated on their mobile phones. There may be room for video, but it needs to take into account the interactive and "on-the-go" nature of the mobile phone as a communications platform.

38th annual Adams Avenue Roots Fest
When: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 30; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, May 1.
Where: Adams Avenue, between 35th Street and Felton Street, in Normal Heights.
Admission: Free to all ages.
Phone: (619) 282-7329
Online: adamsavenuebusiness.com
Its name might suggest a gathering of vegetable growers or an Alex Haley fan club convention, but the all-ages Adams Avenue Roots Fest offers a family-friendly feast for the ears.
This earthy musical event was launched in 1993 by San Diego Folk Festival and Folk Arts Rare Records founder Lou Curtiss and the Adams Avenue Business Association, as an extension of the folk festival. Creative differences led, sadly, to Curtiss' departure a few years ago, but the event lives on.
This weekend's lineup features a typically broad array of styles, including folk, blues, Celtic, zydeco, bluegrass, klezmer and more. The lineup includes such local favorites as Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi; Los Alacranes, multi-instrumental wiz Dennis Caplinger, Tomcat Courtney, Sara Petite (who will perform with two different bands) and at least 30 others.
There will also be more than 200 food and arts-and-craft vendors. The free admission makes the Roots Fest the bargain of the month.
On a more somber note, while nothing has official been announced, it seems likely that at least some of the Roots Fest performers will make note of the deaths of two longtime San Diego music scene mainstays over the past week -- Steve White and Tanya Rose.
Also likely to be noted over the weekend is the passing of Judy Moore, the Adams Avenue Business Association's Associate Director. She died on March 20 and played an increasingly a key role for much of the past two decades in both the Adams Avenue Roots Fair and its sister festival, the Adams Avenue Street Fair.
"All of us working the Roots Fest this year are dedicating it to Judy's memory," said event spokeswoman Christina Mattson. "Judy was an amazing organizer and community activist for Normal Heights. She will be truly missed."

'Coney Island': A Christmas Story for Jews
Donald Margulies was in his New Haven study when a surprising call came from Gil Cates, the renowned artistic director of the Geffen Playhouse.
Cates — who died last November at 77 — had overseen four Margulies productions at the Geffen, had just directed the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright's fanciful fairy tale "Shipwrecked!" and had in mind another family play for the author.
"He said, 'Donald, how would you like to write me a Christmas show?' And I was amused," Margulies, 58, said, speaking at the Geffen just before a rehearsal of his new play, "Coney Island Christmas."
"You don't usually seek out a Jewish playwright to write you a Christmas show. So I said, 'Gil, if I'm going to write you a Christmas show, you know it's going to be a Jewish Christmas show, right?' And he said, 'Great!' "
Margulies' response was hardly unexpected. Joe Papp, the late founder of New York's Public Theater, dubbed Margulies "my Jewish playwright." Throughout his more than 35 years as a dramatist, Margulies has often explored Jewish identity and family dynamics, from his early plays, like "The Loman Family Picnic" and "The Model Apartment," through to later works, including his Pulitzer nominees "Sight Unseen" and "Collected Stories" as well as 2005's "Brooklyn Boy." In varied ways that have evolved over the years, he has, at times, drawn on his childhood in a tiny apartment in 1960s Brooklyn, where his father toiled as a wallpaper salesman and Holocaust survivors, with their mysterious and terrifying forearm tattoos, walked the neighborhood.
For Margulies, "Coney Island Christmas" represents a more ebullient return to Brooklyn, as well as a lighter take on what he calls the "ghetto mentality."
Based on the short story "The Loudest Voice," by Grace Paley, the comedy opens in the San Fernando Valley, as the elderly Shirley Abramowitz regales her great-granddaughter with a tale of how she came to play Jesus in her grammar-school Christmas pageant in 1930s Brooklyn. The action then shifts back in time, as the pageant is rehearsed and conflict ensues: Shirley's mother sees the pageant and its implications as "a creeping pogrom" that will "make our children forget who they are"; Mr. Abramowitz (Arye Gross) argues for open-mindedness and contends that participation does not equal assimilation, while young Shirley longs only to perform.
Cates' sudden death from heart failure last year, however, is what prompted Margulies, who was then preparing his play "Time Stands Still" for Broadway, to give himself a deadline of January 2012 to finish a first draft of the play, which he dedicated to his old friend. He remembers Cates as an "indomitable" figure and a "mensch" who identified strongly with the Jewish sensibilities in Margulies' work. "His death just crushed me," the playwright said, his voice hushed. "It seems quite hollow here at the Geffen without him."
Cates envisioned "Coney Island Christmas" as becoming an annual holiday production at the Geffen. But if a yuletide pageant seems like something of a departure for Margulies, its themes fit snugly into his oeuvre. "I wasn't invested in exploring Christmas, but rather in exploring the phenomenon of assimilation," he said. He saw Paley's story as "an opportunity to write about what it means to be an American, and to be of faith, any faith. The very comic notion of a Jewish girl asked to play Jesus is such a wonderful metaphor for lack of prejudice and a kind of ecumenical approach."
Director Bart DeLorenzo said the play's "central question" is, "Where is your allegiance?"
"Every character is trying to figure out where they stand — 'Am I a Jew or a Christian or an American?' — and a holiday like Christmas suddenly can make you feel you must choose some sort of side in this debate," DeLorenzo said in a telephone interview.
Gross, who grew up in a Conservative home in Reseda, connects the characters to his late grandparents: "I can almost hear members of my family speaking the words as they are said in the play."
Margulies said he based the characters and their worldview, in part, on his own beloved grandparents, as well as the immigrant and first-generation Jews of his childhood neighborhood, who saw America as a land of opportunity but harbored suspicions and distrust of non-Jews.
He was sitting in an upstairs office at the Geffen, where he wore a tweed jacket and round spectacles and exuded both the quietly confident manner of a successful artist and Yale professor.
Yet, at one point, the conversation turned again to his fraught childhood in Brooklyn, where his family "never had any money," he said, and learning about the survivors in the neighborhood "was the beginning of my fear of Nazi persecution and a Germanophobia I still struggle with today." As his alter ego, a newly successful novelist named Eric Weiss, says in "Brooklyn Boy," he had to escape Brooklyn because he feared the chokehold the legacies of the Depression and the Holocaust had around his parents' throats.
Margulies' range of plays about Brooklyn, some written in the voice of a young man, others in the voice of artists in midlife, have helped him to exorcise some of those demons. "I've also been happily wed and well-analyzed," he added, with a laugh. "But when I visit my friends in Park Slope, I still get a little creeped out. It's just a primal feeling."
It's thus significant that Margulies set "Coney Island Christmas" in a more vibrant New York milieu decades before his time. "I had romanticized 1930s Brooklyn as being the golden years, of [immigrants] being new to America, when the country was still promising in a way it wasn't when I was growing up in the 1960s," he explained.
Not that the setting is without its share of urban grit. For visual inspiration, Margulies turned to the Depression-era paintings of Reginald Marsh, "where you can see the grime, the patina of urban dust," he said.
And yet, overall, he said, "The play is very joyful. It's life-affirming."

After 72 days of marriage, an E! wedding special that seemed to go even longer and nonstop rumors of unhappiness, the rumors have turned out to be true: Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce from Kris Humphries. TMZ has the news that Kardashian plans to file for the split later today, citing "irreconcilable differences" with the guy she married in a lavish ceremony on August 20. They spent $20 million on that wedding. They are now getting divorced. The mind boggles.
If you believe in Hollywood weddings ending in forever after, especially when every moment of them is documented for reality TV, then you're probably the sucker born every minute that P.T. Barnum got so excited about. But it only took garden variety skepticism to see trouble for Kardashian-- even back in September she was making headlines for taking off her engagement ring. If anything, I expect the speculation to begin that the wedding only happened in the first place for the sake of headlines. What better way, really, than to guarantee your constant spot in the tabloids than feverish planning of a ridiculously expensive wedding? The only thing better is an acrimonious divorce, which I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty about in the coming months. Then she'll find another willing suitor and the cycle will start all over again.
Kardashian has hired divorce attorney Laura Wasser, who represented Britney Spears, Ryan Reynolds, Angelina Jolie and other high-profile celebrity divorcees. Vote in our poll below and let us know if you saw this split coming.
Did you see this divorce coming?

If I were hosting the big spread this year, the first thing I would do is make some Cayenne Pepper Wafers. My mother's recipe for this spicy gruyere cracker is a must for that first toast of Champagne.
For a unique salad, I would make the Kale Salad with Apples and Walnuts from Tori Ritchie's blog Tuesday Recipe. I have not made this yet, but my friend Catherine made it for me, and I couldn't stop eating it. It's crunchy and fresh, the perfect Thanksgiving salad.

Sourdough Stuffing with Sausage and Apples
This recipe was adapted from that of Pam Anderson in her book Perfect Recipes for Having People Over.
- 1 pound crusty bread, such as Harvest Organic Sourdough Bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 pound bulk sweet or hot Italian sausage, or breakfast sausage
- 1-2 tablespoons butter (optional)
- 2 medium onion, cut into medium dice (about 2 cups)
- 2 celery stalks, cut into medium dice (about 1 cup)
- 4 small or 2 medium tart apples, cut into 1/2 inch dice
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- a few spoonfuls of pan drippings from the turkey
- Cut the bread into cubes, cutting off the crusts if you like (I like to leave the crusts) and spread them in a single layer on two baking sheets. Leave to dry overnight, or toast in the oven at 300ºF for 15 minutes or until crispy and dry.
- Turn the oven temperature up to 400ºF.
- In a large skillet, fry the sausage until it has broken down into small pieces, and there is no more pink remaining. Drain in a colander and pour off most of the grease from the pan.
- Using the same skillet, sauté the onions, celery, and apples in the pan juices, adding butter if you need to, until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
- Place the sausage, onions, celery, apples, bread cubes, and the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl. Mix well.
- Turn the stuffing into a buttered 3-quart baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until steamy hot, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, drizzle with pan drippings from the turkey if you like, and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until the top is crusty. Try not to eat too much of that crusty goodness before you bring it to the table.

IOWA CITY (Jul. 17)
At least one special date will be set aside nationally for graduates of high schools who are unable to take college board examinations on the regular Saturday date, it was announced here.
In announcing this new plan, Dr. Paul J. Mather, president of the American College Testing Program of the University of Iowa said that "It is certainly never going to be our intention in any way to interfere with the religious affiliations of individuals when there is a matter of conflict with testing."
The college boards tasks indicate a student's aptitude for college studies and are used by universities and schools throughout the country.

Retina revolution was natural next step for iPad, reckons NaturalMotion's Torsten Reil
Rather, the story comes when they are actually delivered.
We all knew a Retina-equipped iPad would launch at some point, but as NaturalMotion CEO Torsten Reil points out, the fact Apple has delivered it before the competition, and without any increase to the tablet's RRP is nothing to be sniffed at.
We caught up with Torsten for what Apple's next step means for developers on board the good ship iPad.
Pocket Gamer: Following the unveiling of new hardware, what's your impression of where Apple is taking iPad?
Torsten Reil: I think adding a Retina solution was a natural next step for Apple. I'm actually surprised it's been able to do this without increasing prices.
Including a display with such a high resolution is a big deal. It's also great to see that the A5X is specifically designed to support the increased graphics requirements that come with the retina display.
What do you think will prove to be the most important new feature?
I'm pretty sure it's the retina display. After the iPhone 4, I've found it hard to go back to an iPhone 3GS or another phone, so I presume the same will happen with the new iPad.
Anything you think Apple was wrong to leave out?
I don't think so. We have a lot of performance and an amazing display to play with.
Is there a chance that the new tech employed in the new iPad will leave indies behind?
It's definitely true that development budgets are going up; and the increased resolution and performance of the new iPad will allow for even richer experiences.
Having said that, while I think games are naturally moving high end, there will always be extremely successful indie games with innovative design that can succeed for example, Temple Run.
And the iOS App Store is still very much an egalitarian platform that allows great indie games to break through and get massive visibility.
Thanks to Torsten for his time.

The Hanoitimes - The State should introduce policies to ensure agriculture will develop in a sustainable manner and farmers will benefit from agricultural production.
The Hanoitimes - The State should introduce policies to ensure agriculture will develop in a sustainable manner and farmers will benefit from agricultural production.
The view was shared by domestic and foreign experts at a conference in Hanoi on March 6 to look at outlook for Vietnam 's agricultural production.
The conference brought together experts from the World Bank (WB), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the US Department of Agriculture, and the Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society, and those from the Central Institute for Economic Management and the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (IPSARD).
Experts suggested the State invest more in agricultural production and work out solutions to help farmers and businesses surmount difficulties in processing and selling farm products, accessing bank loans and seeking outlets.
The global economy is not out of the woods yet, causing unexpected fluctuations in the farm produce market, they said, adding that it is necessary to make proper forecasts of market supply and demand, prices, as well as new policies for developing key farm products.
Prof. Peter Timmer, a leading scholar in agro-economics, said agriculture will plays a crucial role in economic growth and social stability in the next five decades, creating a good chance for investment flows.
Vietnam is no exception. Last year, the country experienced slow economic growth due to high inflation, limited liquidity of the banking system, a high trade deficit and business losses.
However, agriculture offered a much needed shot in the arm for the national economy, growing 4 percent and earning US$25 billion from exports (accounting for 22 percent of the country's total export earnings). It also generated a significant number of jobs for local people, and was the only economic sector obtaining an export surplus of US$18 billion.
Dang Kim Son from the IPSARD said that although the World Economic Forum in Davos last January praised Vietnam 's agricultural achievements and considered it a good example for agricultural development in developing countries, Vietnam 's agricultural value is not high, mainly because advanced technology is not used in much of its agricultural production.
Danish Deputy Ambassador Lis Rosenholm said Vietnam 's production and export of agricultural products has attracted many major investors around the world. Agriculture is predicted to be an important factor in its economic growth and social stability so Vietnam should make commitment that farmers will be the key beneficiaries from agricultural production.
Yuriko Shoji, FAO representative in Vietnam , suggested that Vietnam reserve land funds, supply sufficient water resource, and encourage organic farming in agricultural production.

Sussex unveiled Zac Toumazi as their new chief executive this morning.
Toumazi beat off competition from a "very strong" list of candidates to take over from Dave Brooks who is due to step down after four years at Hove at the end of the month. Toumazi arrives after stepping down from his role as group commercial director at neighbours Hampshire two weeks ago having previously spent six years at Surrey in a similar role.
He said: "I am very excited about being appointed chief executive. I look forward to working with the entire team taking Sussex cricket forward whilst preserving the values that make it so special."
Toumazi helped negotiate the naming rights for the AGEAS Bowl and was pivotal in Hampshire staging its first ever Test match against Sri Lanka last year.
He also has a strong business background away from cricket having worked in senior roles at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.
Jim May, Sussex chairman, said: "Dave Brooks leaves us in great shape after four outstanding years as chief executive. We had a very strong group of candidates who applied to succeed him.
"We are very pleased to appoint Zac as we believe his commercial experience, cultural fit and passion for cricket give him the credentials to ensure that Sussex Cricket continues to lead the way both on and off the pitch."

LAND O'LAKES — Visitors to the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce home page get an idyllic picture, "a place of safe neighborhoods, with great schools, outstanding recreational activities and community events that are enthusiastically supported."
Web masters might have to update that last part.
Tempers have been sizzling like burned batter ever since chamber officials recently announced plans to move the community's annual Flapjack Festival — a 30-year-old autumn tradition that began when only one caution light governed traffic — from its home on U.S. 41 to the Pasco County Fairgrounds just outside Dade City. According to Mapquest.com, that's 21.29 miles away. Estimated travel time: 29 minutes.
This is more than a story about a change of venue. It's about mourning the loss of a once-small town's way of life as big-box stores, multilane highways and commuters redefine the area.
"It would be like Plant City moving the Strawberry Festival out of Plant City," said Buni Dakers, a past chamber president now living in Tampa. "It was moved to Collier Parkway and State Road 54 one year, and there was a lot of turmoil just about doing that."
Michael Craven said he was disappointed in the decision but he hated to criticize volunteers who put the event together.
"I hate to see the Land O'Lakes area lose it as a Land O'Lakes event," said Craven, a former festival chairman and chiropractor who has practiced in the area since 1983. Craven likened his emotions to those he felt several years ago when the chamber dropped Land O'Lakes from its name. A father of three, he said, the festival and its carnival rides were ideal for families.
"You'd see your neighbors. You'd see people you went to church with. Your kids would burn all the money you had given them to ride rides with and then you'd go home."
• • •
Organizers say it's the last thing they wanted, but they were left with no choice. With the event drawing about 40,000 visitors and land that had been used for parking under development contracts, they had to look elsewhere.
"We've known for several years we were going to have to find a new site," said attorney Tim Hayes, a former chamber president who remains active in the organization. "Everybody had hoped that site would be somewhere in the community."
To some old-timers, the decision to take away Land O'Lakes' signature event is tantamount to treason.
"The Flapjack Festival needs to stay in Land O'Lakes! If that means it can't grow bigger, or if it means it needs to be downsized, do it. Sometimes the history of your community is more important than bigger and better," land surveyor Eddie Jenkins wrote in a recent letter to the Times.
Jenkins wrote that he feared the event would be "gobbled up" by Dade City or Pasco County and no longer would be identified with his hometown.
"I don't care," he wrote. "I won't go."
Kathy Dunkley, the chamber's executive director, is weary of the negative phone calls and letters. She says the move, approved by the 18-member board, not her, isn't about expanding the festival.
"We're moving this because we have to. We don't want it to die."
Several things conspired to make a new site necessary. Landowner Ted Williams, a former property appraiser, is selling his acreage near the community center. It had been used for parking. Property across the street was sold as well.
Sanders Elementary School, which had donated space for part of the midway, is expanding and has put in extra parking there. Dunkley estimated the chamber needs 35 to 40 acres for the festival and parking. It also needs sources for running water and electricity.
Dunkley said board members explored every option.
"We've ridden up and down roads. We've looked at fields," she said. Two options, Connerton and an area called the Concourse in the northwest part of the county, proved unworkable.
"Connerton really tried," she said, adding that it could be a possibility someday. "They were wonderful."
The fate of the parade, which wound down School Street, remains up in the air.
• • •
Residents polled informally at the Pasco County Library all expressed disapproval of the new location.
"I don't know that I'd go out that far for it," said Julie Olson, whose son and daughter grew up attending the event. Naturally, they were drawn to the rides, but Olson enjoyed the crafts and food booths operated by community groups that piggybacked on the profits.
Cindy Ray, whose husband owns the business that has supplied search lights for the event for the past couple of years, said he won't participate. "He won't provide it if it's out in Dade City."
Charlie Reese, a longtime resident and former chamber president, said that kind of thinking is irrational.
"People drive to downtown (Tampa) and much farther for places for events," he said. "It's no big deal. It's just a few miles away. It's not something to get all excited about."
He said safety always has been a big concern and holding the event in its former location got riskier every year. Ten years ago, when he was chamber president, "U.S. 41 was only two lanes and so many people were crossing the street there. Now, 41 has gotten bigger and the plot of land you have to squeeze the festival on has gotten smaller."
Reese said he hopes locals will still support the festival.
"Where do the New York Giants have home field? New Jersey. Where is the Cincinnati airport? It's in Kentucky. If the Flapjack Festival moves across the county, what's the big deal?"
Organizers have joked that they might even take a page from the Gasparilla playbook and act like an invading krewe.
"Land O'Lakes people should consider themselves as annexing Dade City," Reese said.
Hayes wonders if moving the festival will cause it to lose the sense of community that made it worth having in the first place. It's a question other Pasco communities also will have to grapple with as development continues to swallow up land needed for such events.
"Flapjack was a unique annual event where the community had an opportunity to come together. If you can't keep that local you may lose what made the Flapjack Festival so popular, " he said.
The festival, he said, had "the flavor of the local little amusement park. It's as much being seen there as it is in the event itself."

Having responded to the crisis of confidence in coach Jurgen Klinsmann last week with a 1-0 victory over Costa Rica in a snow globe in Denver, the U.S. men's national team can get back to its good old maximum-intensity rivalry with Mexico.
When the two teams meet before more than 100,000 fans at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City on Tuesday, it will be the first time since a 1-0 victory for the United States in August. That was the first U.S. win on Mexican soil (improving the U.S. to 1-23-1 overall). But it also was a friendly. Mexico is 13-0-1 at home against its northern neighbor in World Cup qualifying.
Klinsmann, meanwhile, remains undefeated in six games against Mexico as a player and coach but has struggled tactically in meaningful games as U.S. coach. To extend his streak to seven, he will have to start at least seven different players from last summer's clash. Jermaine Jones (left ankle sprain) went back to Germany, meaning Sacha Kljestan or Maurice Edu could jump into the starting 11. There are positive signs Klinsmann will resist the lineup shuffling that typified the semifinal round of qualifying and retain most of the group that beat Costa Rica.
That victory moved the U.S. (1-1-0, three points) from last to second place in the six-team qualifying group, giving it little to lose Tuesday in a venue where it has fallen so many times before. The Mexicans (0-0-2, two points) are the ones under pressure, tied with three teams right behind the U.S. Should Klinsmann produce an upset, however unlikely, he will go from zero to hero almost overnight.

Directing Mishmash
Last Update: March, 2013 || Trailer Cue by Denny Schneidemesser
Mash-up reel of the projects I've directed between 2009 - 2013.
It's crazy to think I've been making my own movies for fifteen years. So far, all shorts - so the next hurdle is pretty obvious. I love this process; I love developing stories and I love conquering the many obstacles to bring them to fruition. I love the creative as much as the technical; the Big Picture as much as the nitty-gritty details. I hope to continue moving forward with my own projects... and make that feature happen.

A few days ago, the president of Cathedral Bible College in Marion, SC was arrested for allegedly forcing international students to work long hours for low pay by threatening their immigration status. Although there are still few details, various news outlets have reported that federal agents have probable cause to charge Reginald Wayne Miller with forced labor, a felony that can carry up to a twenty-year prison sentence per charge.
It's a serious charge, of course, and it serves as a good reminder that we still live in a world where practices of severe exploitation are not unknown. But when religious believers are seemingly involved, our individual and collective disgust often intensifies—if anyone should know better and do otherwise, they should. Rightly or wrongly, and whether we count ourselves among them or not, we tend to hold the faithful to a "higher" standard, and this goes double for the leaders. That's because such standards are supposedly essential to belief itself, and thus part and parcel of what it means to be religious. Think, for example—and it's an example that's particularly relevant in the case of Miller—of Jesus' distillation of the law into the command to love God and neighbor, which Jesus takes as essential for "eternal life."
Since the actions of religious believers are, we assume, intimately bound up with their beliefs, when the former do not align with the latter, we often hear a charge of hypocrisy, a charge that in addition is usually meant to call into question the sincerity of the beliefs in question. To label Miller a hypocrite, in this instance, simultaneously points to the apparent disconnect between his actions and "normal" Christian teachings (forced labor is the opposite of love of neighbor) and his seeming lack of concern for this disconnect. Hence the students' claims against Miller that, at least for them, the school functioned as little more than a front for forced on- and off-campus labor.
The charge of hypocrisy can, however, be convenient for the religious community itself, in that it enables those believers to disavow and dismiss the actions of an errant individual or group. Although seldom stated in these terms we often find the religious equivalent of the no true Scotsman fallacy: since no true Christian would force others into labor, Miller must, if the charge is true, not really be a Christian. Or, to use another example, the Westboro Baptist Church must not really be Christians because true Christians would never protest at funerals.
It's an effective strategy, insofar as it appears to protect the integrity of mainstream religious belief against what appear as more extreme elements. Indeed, sometimes it's appropriate and necessary to do so. But it can also be lazy and disingenuous, to the extent that it functions as a defense mechanism that fails to acknowledge the complicity of mainstream beliefs in their extreme counterparts.
A belief or action is "extreme" not because of its putative disconnection from the mainstream; rather, it is "extreme" because of the way it pushes or takes the logic of a "mainstream" belief. The difference between the two, then, is one of degree, not kind, which also means that what we label as "extreme" finds its origin to an extent in the "mainstream."
Masters and servants
Displayed prominently on Cathedral Bible College's homepage is a brief statement of its mission, which contains a reference to II Timothy 2:21: "Cathedral Bible College is the college where you not only learn in the classroom, but experience what you are learning through the various programs of student ministry. The key to our producing servants 'meet for the Masters [sic] use' is the training that comes from the teaching."
Of course this passage doesn't explicitly provide some sort of justification for Miller's action, but the language of "servant" and "Master" does, perhaps, function as part of a social-linguistic horizon that, when pushed, makes the notion of forced labor legitimate to those doing the forcing. Most Christians today (though not necessarily in the past) would likely denounce that logic as abhorrent, as an illegitimate extension of the language involved—and rightly so. But the problem lies in the language itself—servant, master, lord, and so on—and the types of relationships that that language implies and reinforces, rather than its extension. That is, the continued use of such language and what it implies in mainstream, relatively benign contexts unwittingly enables its use in more problematic—and, in the case of Miller, dehumanizing—contexts.
Or take the case of the late Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. One would be hard-pressed to find many Christians lending support to the group's rhetoric and activities. But, I would suggest, this has more to do with the tactics it deploys rather than the basic substance of its rhetoric and actions, specifically as they relate to homosexuality. Although most will be quick to denounce Westboro Baptist Church's vehement anti-gay tactics and rhetoric, it remains the case that a significant number of Americans unproblematically consider homosexuality to be a sin. The Westboro Baptist Church's position remains, in this sense, a more extreme extension of this core belief—but an extension of it nonetheless.
So, although abhorrent, the actions of Westboro Baptist Church are not surprising from a religious perspective. Neither are the alleged actions of the president of Cathedral Bible College. If we can get past the knee-jerk reactions, we may often find that such actions are more "mainstream" than we first thought.
In saying this, however, we must also be careful to avoid another potential trap, the one that takes the relationship between the mainstream and its extreme extensions in terms of necessity. This is the problem, for instance, with many right-wing attacks on Islam. In suggesting that extreme elements (i.e. terrorism) are but a manifestation of "true" Islamic belief, such attacks may at first glance appear to adopt the position that I've been arguing for. The problem, however, is that such extremism is painted as inevitable, as a forgone conclusion, which is then used to paint Islam as a whole as extreme.
Moreover, rather than adopting the position that I've been arguing for, I would suggest that, ironically, it adopts the position I've been arguing against—though in an inverse and malign fashion. That is, in equating the core of Islamic belief with terrorism, such attacks isolate a "true" Islam over against any hypocritical deviations, although here the position of the deviant is reversed: a "good", "peaceful" Muslim must not really be a Muslim, since all Muslims are terrorists. The ethical and political problems with such a position should be obvious.
So, in saying that we must seek to understand the relationship between what I've referred to as mainstream elements and extreme elements, I'm not suggesting that the latter necessarily flows out of the former; nor am I suggesting the construction of an ideological tool that can be used against religious believers. I am suggesting, rather, that part of understanding religion involves understanding the different forms that it takes, which means paying attention to the way that "extreme" elements are often related to the seemingly more benign, "mainstream" elements, without dismissing the former as necessarily outside the purview of "true" religion.

Within days of the debut of Apple's tablet last year, event pros were finding ways to incorporate them into events. Here are some new ways to include them:
1. On Stands
German-based iPad Butler launched its line of tablet holders in the U.S. in July, in tabletop and freestanding versions for use at events and trade shows. The plastic floor stands start at $125, the aluminum versions at $188.
2. With Photos
The folks behind LA Photo Party and Photosphere 360 have created an iPad-based app that allows event photographers to wirelessly transfer pictures from their cameras to their iPads. Guests can then upload branded photos to Facebook, Twitter, or email. The company offers a mobile stand on which an iPad and camera can both be mounted to roll throughout an event.
3. In Attendees' Hands

FALMOUTH Town Council has reconfirmed its commitment to the application to dredge a deep water channel into the docks.
In the month that some conservationists questioned the validity of the project following publication of the results of a trial dredge carried out last year, two of Falmouth's Cornwall Council members have held meetings at County Hall to stress the importance of the dredging.
Councillor Candy Atherton and mayor Geoffrey Evans have met with representatives of the Cornwall Development Company and Cornwall Council's portfolio holder for culture and the economy, Julian German to say the council wanst to see action as soon as possible.
"We made it quite clear that it is a priority of this council and that unanimously, we want to see the dredging moving forward as quickly as possible," said Ms Atherton.
"We will do everything in our power."
The plan has sparked controversy due to concerns over the impact on maerl, a calcified seaweed habitat.
