New Orleans police said officers caught a man in the act after he forced a woman into her Carrollton-area home Wednesday night, raped and robbed her.
James Johnson, 21, was booked with aggravated rape, robbery and false imprisonment with a weapon. Police said Johnson is a repeat offender who was on parole for armed robbery until the end of 2014.
The rape and robbery happened in the 7300 block of Hickory Street.
"Around 6:30 p.m., a call came in
that someone was in need of help - a female was screaming for help," said NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas. "Our
detectives and uniformed officers were there almost immediately."
Extra police units were already in the neighborhood looking for suspicious activity after a string of recent crimes on Adams, Green and Panola. Police say Johnson admitted his involvement in the Panola Street attack.
"He confessed to not only
the crime that occurred that we caught him in, but he confessed to Panola Street and he gave us other information as well," said Second District Cmdr. Paul Noel.
In the Panola Street case, three men tied up two women with computer chords and then robbed them of cell phones, computers and cash. Police are still looking for the other men involved, and Serpas said that extra patrols units will remain in the area until they're caught.

Justin Bieber's super hot love interest in his new music video wants the singer's rabid female fans to know she's NOT a threat ... 'cause she's already got a man.
TMZ spoke with Rachel Barnes -- the chick who Bieber can't keep his hands off of in the new video for "Boyfriend" -- and she tells us the chemistry between the two was "only for work."
"Justin and Selena are adorably inseparable and I, myself, am already married" ... adding, "I'm a Belieber, but he's not my boyfriend."
FYI -- Bieber's fans have a reputation for being a bit ... territorial ... and some have even sent death threats to women who got a little too close to JB ... including Kim Kardashian.
But Barnes -- who got married in La Jolla last year -- says the Biebettes have been cool so far ... adding, "It's been great to be a part of the Bieber madness ... even if only for a song."
me gutan esta bn........!! :D
That's the most beautiul girl I've evr seen---- and no, I'm not talking about Justin Beiber. If you google image search Rachel Barnes you can find some of her modeling pics and she is just crazy hot! Hopefully thi is the start of a great career for her, we need to see a lot more of her!
Looks like Rachel Barnes is represented by Leni's Model Management in London: http://lenismodelmanagement.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/rachel-barnes-in-justin-biebers-music.html
The link there has loads more pics too!
Omg!! she looks so young in the video
Bieber is looking fine damnnnn.
Well, I can now confirm that I have now moved in with my partner and he has committed to the relationship and I can't thank prophet harry enough for changing my life. I am totally amazed and so happy that he has been able to do this for me, it took little time, however firstname.lastname@example.com has constantly been there for reassurance, however, you must follow and listen to everything he says, as it is very important to follow guidance and instructions but IT WORKS and I am living proof, I can't thank him enough.

Systematized and Path-independent Measurement of Biased Technical Change
AbstractThe sample-specificity and path-dependence of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) based technical change index as a component of Malmquist indexes prevent us from obtaining overall and systematic information on technical change. This paper develops a pathindependent method to estimate technical change using a systematized set of controlled input- output vectors and visualization of the DEA frontiers. The application to the panel datasets of agricultural production in the Brazil Amazon in 1975-1995 indicates non-Hicks-neutral technical change, with crossings of frontiers in both the 1975-1985 and the 1985-1995 periods. The alternative measure of overall technical change shows that moderate technological progress may have occurred on the whole in 1975-1995. The results also show heterogeneous trends across products. The mean of the sample-specific technical change scores are found to be quite different from the overall technical change measure.

Harrison County is in need of poll workers for the upcoming primary election.
County Clerk Susan Thomas said 375 workers are needed all together, but alternates are needed in case anyone gets sick or can't make it in.
All you have to do to be a worker is take a class.
"Our alternate list is shrinking so if anyone is interested in being a poll worker, we have a poll worker class on Thursday evening at 6 p.m. at the 4H center. It's just about an hour and a half class and I just go over the high points of what they'll be doing on election day," said Thomas.
Poll workers make $150 a day and anyone can do it.
If you would like to be a poll worker, all you have to do is show up to the class on Thursday, again that's at 6 p.m. at the 4H Center in Clarksburg.

Morsi's Jailbreak Trial Adjourned Till February 24
By IANS - CAIRO
Published: 22nd February 2014 10:02 PM
Last Updated: 22nd February 2014 10:02 PM
An Egyptian court Saturday postponed till February 24 the trial of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi and 130 others for storming the Wady al-Natroun prison and killing police officers during the 2011 uprising that toppled president Hosni Mubarak.
Morsi and 21 other defendants were detained in the case, while the rest of the defendants were being tried in absentia, reported Xinhua citing the Egyptian state TV.
The defendants include members of the Muslim Brotherhood group and the Palestinian Hamas movement that ruled Gaza and the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah.
More than 20,000 prisoners escaped in 2011 and investigations revealed that contacts were made among the ousted president, Brotherhood leaders, and Hamas and Hezbollah members to spread chaos, storm prisons and train militants in Egypt.
Ousted by the military in July 2013, Morsi is facing other lawsuits over charges of espionage, inciting killing of protestors and insulting the judiciary.
Islamists have been staging regular protests condemning Morsi's ouster as a "coup" and demanding his reinstatement.
The Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, was also blacklisted by the interim government in December 2013 as a "terrorist group".

Celebrate Easter and welcome spring with this not-your-ordinary salad. Children will be delighted to help you with the nest-building business!
Raw Salad Recipes
A feast for the eyes as well as the palate, this hearty salad offers a splash of colors arranged in circles, and features juicy jicama in the company of dark leafy greens, peppers and a tangy dressing.
Fermented veggies promote good digestion and healthy gut flora, and even make some nutrients more bioavailable. Your colon, heart, liver and skin will love the beets and carrots whose texture and edibility has been boosted by the fermentation process, with the taste transformed from sweet to savory.
This Christmas tree makes a stunning holiday centerpiece for any arrangement of veggies or fruits. For more ideas from Natalya check out this link.
Since the late 1800s, when this salad was first made at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City, it has gone through many transformations. The core ingredients, however, did manage to survive over the years. This hearty salad is easily adaptable for those living on raw foods by replacing the traditional mayonnaise-based dressing with some version of a raw nut-based mayo.
This crunchy salad tastes surprisingly similar to egg and potato salad, but it doesn't contain either. Sunchokes, which are widely available in the fall and early winter, are a good raw substitute for potatoes, while cashews and turmeric bring the color and texture of eggs to this dish.
Kale never goes out of fashion: it is your "dark leafy green health insurance" in a bunch. This nutritional powerhouse is available at the stores year-round, and is a rich source of Vitamins A and C, calcium, manganese, lutein and iron.
Spicy citrus dressing combined with summer vegetables makes it more than just a salad: it makes it an experience. Light and refreshing, it's also quick to make, especially if you can delegate the chore of chopping to your food processor.
Radish greens are super high in Vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus and happen to be my favorite greens!
Tired of traditional salads? This recipe puts a whole new spin on the salad theme. The idea for this festive layered salad comes from Russian cuisine.
Traditional Russian salad recipes often include herring, boiled potatoes and mayonnaise. But this healthy variation is chock full of raw goodness. Instead of cooking vegetables, use them in their raw state. Let mushrooms be the substitute for herring and have the avocados stand in for potatoes—more tastily, too! No mayo, either—instead, a nut-based dressing.
A decided improvement in taste and nutrition. A real novelty, too. Your party guests will never have seen or tasted this one! Guaranteed to impress.

Django Guardian has two forms defined in admin.py, GroupManage and UserManage: https://github.com/lukaszb/django-guardian/blob/master/guardian/admin.py#L368
I would like to add auto-completion to these two forms, and the best way I assume to make that happen is to overwrite the group and user's field widgets (my first attempt uses django autocomplete_light.) The goal is to not need to fork django guardian.
So in my app's models.py, I added the following code
GroupManage.__class__.group = forms.CharField(max_length=81,
"This group does not exist!"}, widget=ChoiceWidget(True))
I also tried using setattr to no avail. In the django shell it acts like this should be working, but when the admin page gets loaded the old group variable is restored, with the default CharField widget.

It's hard to preach patience with an unproven Fantasy asset. That was the case with Brad Miller after his early struggles. Miller had a nice rookie year, which led to many buying into the hype for his second season. When things didn't pan out, most owners cut bait, deciding to ride the hot hand.

Many of us remember a time when we would have a designated time following lunch and play where we would curl up and take a quick hour nap to recharge the batteries. Unfortunately, once we reach a certain age the nap is often frowned upon and carries a negative stigma. However, many studies show that a quick afternoon nap can be very beneficial for the mind and body. Find out how crawling into your favorite adult onesie and catching some Z's can change your body and mind.
1) Improve Memory
Napping can improve memory retention that is related to complex tasks that require the user to pay attention. While sleeping memories are transferred to parts of the brain where long-term memories are stored. Quick 20-30 minute naps can increase productivity and boost comprehensive memory.
2) Saves money
Often when that mid-afternoon time hits people will reach for another cup of coffee or an energy drink. Everyone knows the negative health effects related with coffee and energy drinks. Too much caffiene and sugar can have devastating effects on the body, but it can also hurt the wallet. Think of the extra money you spend each time you go out for another cup of coffee or energy drink. In the end it adds up quickly.
3) Improve Alertness
Recent study by NASA shows a 40 minute nap can increase alertness by 100%. A quick 25 minute nap ultimately be effective than taking 250mg of caffeine. By breaking up your day with a 30 minute nap you can increase alertness throughout the afternoon.
4) Improves Health
Lack of sleep can cause a number of health effects. Some include, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. A major concern with lack of sleep is the increase chance of accidents. Nearly eleven million people have admitted to falling asleep and almost, and in some cases, causing an accident. Lack of sleep can also diminish the immune system and decrease hormone and testosterone levels.
5) Improves Mood
Serotonin controls mood, appetite, and of course sleep, when stressed serotonin levels increase and production can be blocked. This causes anxiousness, depression, and irritability. Stay happy, take a quick 30 minute nap.
Companies around the world have begun to adapt a nap/rest time within their offices due to the benefits associated with napping. Employers know workers benefit from a quick nap and can be more productive, which means more revenue. Grab your footed adult onesie, lay your head down, and come back rested and ready to conquer the rest of your day.

Spain's Golden Age
The Spanish Golden Age (Siglo de Oro in Spanish) was a period of high artistic activity and achievement that lasted from about 1580 to 1680. During this time period, El Greco and Velázquez painted their masterpieces, and Cervantes wrote his famous, satirical novel Don Quixote. The theatre also enjoyed a golden age in acting and playwriting, producing plays to rival those of the Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatists who were writing at the same time.
Theatre historians used to claim that the plays from the Golden Age were too traditional and too concerned with a narrow code of honor to appeal to a wide audience, but recent scholarship has proven that the plays are as exciting, challenging, and relevant as the works of most English and French playwrights of the time period. In fact, the plots for many seventeenth-century English and French plays were taken from Spanish drama.
The most famous plays of the period are the philosophical drama "Life Is a Dream" by Calderón, the historical play "Fuente Ovejuna" by Lope de Vega, and "The Trickster of Seville" (about the legendary lover, Don Juan) by Tirso de Molina. There are also great comedies, religious dramas, farces, and tragedies by these and other playwrights. Comedies by female playwrights (Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Ana Caro, María de Zayas, and Angela de Azevedo) have recently been discovered and translated, as well.
The three major forms of Golden Age theatre are the comedia, the auto sacramental, and the entremés. Autos sacramentales are one-act religious allegories, and entremeses are one-act farces originally performed between the acts of full-length comedia. Comedias are three-act dramas written in verse, which mix comic and serious elements in complex plots that often emphasize intrigue, disguises, music, and swordplay.

June 06, 2008, 3:19 PM — Just as a cellular industry trade association released
a scathing letter against a proposal that would deliver free wireless Internet
access across the country, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission decided
not to vote on the proposal next week as planned.
The FCC had expected to vote on June 12 on a proposal to auction a 25MHz piece
of spectrum in the 2155Mhz band and require the winner to use a specified amount
of spectrum to deliver free wireless Internet access. The plan would also require
the operator to use content filtering to ensure that underage people couldn't
access adult content over the connection.
However, the schedule for next week's meeting, posted on the FCC
Web site on Thursday, does not include an item indicating that the group
will discuss the auction plan.
The FCC first floated the concept last year but the idea has generated a flurry
of opposition from entrenched operators recently because the commission has
said that it would vote on the plan next week.
On Thursday, the CTIA, a trade group representing mobile operators, said in
an FCC filing that there is ample evidence that companies that offer free Internet
access fail. It pointed to dial-up providers who tried it, such as NetZero and
Juno, as well as the long list of free metropolitan Wi-Fi networks that have
recently shut down.
The operators have also expressed concern about some of the technical rules
that the FCC is proposing, saying that they are sure to cause interference and
thus degrade the quality of existing mobile services. The operators asked the
FCC to offer more time and transparency into the technical details so that they
can ensure existing services won't be affected.
The FCC did not reply to requests for comment about why it decided not to discuss
the proposal next week.

Pacific Outdoor Equipment Traditional
4-star: 0
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
Therm-a-rest dominates the backpacking pad scene but…
Price Paid: $40
Therm-a-rest dominates the backpacking pad scene but I opted for the economical minimal investment of the POE Traditional. I picked it up brand new for $40 from the Frugal Backpacker store in Asheville, NC.
This pad is pretty heavy compared to some of its more expensive competitors. The foam, even when new, will take several hours to fully inflate the pad on its own, but when I get into camp I throw the pad out in the tent and let it go for 30-45 min while I make dinner, etc. By the time I'm ready to crawl in, I put in two or three breaths of air and the pad is firm.
I've used this pad, in combination with my 0º synthetic bag to take on 10-20º nights in the snow. It has no grippy material on top or bottom so it gets pretty slippery. It packs down pretty well and definitely has to be carried on the outside of your pack.
I cannot sleep on my side on this pad without getting a sore shoulder, it's not thick enough.
The reason I gave it a five star is because for the price you won't find a mat more durable, reliable, or warm. It would be nice to have a fancy expensive one, but for the budget oriented hiker give this mat a try. (Also check out the POE Ether 6 series for $20 more than this mat, it's as good or better than the Neo Air).

Mere moments after his return to the warm bosom of Sounders soccer came news Monday that World Cup darling DeAndre Yedlin is being wooed by the siren call of top-flight European soccer.
As is often the the case when a boy goes off on an adventure, he comes back a man.
Missing five regulars, the Sounders couldn't mount a consistent attack and fell to the Whitecaps 1-0 Saturday night before a B.C. Place sellout of 22,500 in Vancouver, a weak start to three games in nine days against Cascadia Cup foes.
July 4, 2014
As the game wore on, there was little doubt about the identity of the superior team. Which made the drama all the more compelling for a nation that loves the underdog. For a nation that for a century has been world's overdog, that's some irony. But let's not allow geopolitics to get in the way of a good story.
Despite a record-setting performance in goal by Tim Howard, the United States lost to Belgium 2-1 in the World Cup knockout round Tuesday in Salvador, Brazil. Belgium scored twice in extra time, eliminating USA step shy of the quarterfinals for the second consecutive tournament.
No Clint Dempsey. No DeAndre Yedlin. No Obafemi Martins. No big deal.
As MLS regular-season play resumed after a three-week hiatus for World Cup group play, the Sounders saw no diminution of form that led them the league's best record, now 11-3-2 after a 1-0 win in Washington's RFK Stadium over D.C. United. Chad Barrett's 39th-minute header, his fourth goal of the season, was the difference.
Contributing to the many fascinating feats at the World Cup in Brazil, the United States national team Thursday managed to fall up. In a monsoon, no less.
The contravention of the laws of physics came at the expense of Portugal and Ghana, the members of the s0-called "Group of Death" that fell down. How unoriginal.
Although the USA lost to Germany 1-0 in Recife, Brazil, it survived the dreaded "Group of Death" and advanced to the World Cup knockout round Thursday by virtue of Portugal's 2-1 victory over Ghana. The U.S., reaching the knockout round for the third time, will play Belgium at 1 p.m. Tuesday.
On track to win their fourth Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in six years, the Seattle Sounders will host the Portland Timbers in a quarterfinal match at 7:30 p.m. July 9 at the Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila. The Sounders advanced Tuesday night after defeating the San Jose Earthquakes in a penalty kick shootout following a 1-1 draw.
U.S. soccer star Hope Solo entered a plea of not guilty Monday after police charged that she assaulted two relatives -- her sister and a nephew -- at her Seattle-area home early Saturday morning. Solo was released without bail after a weekend in lockup in South King County on the conditions that she have no contact with the victims and that she not drink alcohol.
The Sounders' delegation represented splendidly Sunday in the Brazilian jungle, helping shove the U.S. National Team to the brink of an astonishing advance to the knockout round of the World Cup. But at nearly the last moment of the 95th minute, Portugal scored the equalizer for a 2-2 draw that deflated a national celebration, yet still left the door open to advance.
After beating PSA Elite of the U.S. Amateur Soccer Association 5-0 at Starfire Stadium in Tukwila Wednesday night, the Sounders continue pursuit of another U.S. Open Cup championship at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday with a fifth-round match against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Captain Clint Dempsey of the Seattle Sounders staked the United States to a 1-0 lead 34 seconds into the match. Following a Ghana equalizer in the 82nd minute, 21-year-old, little-known substitute John Brooks headed in the winner in the 86th, giving the USA a dramatic 2-1 victory in its opening match in the World Cup Monday in Natal, Brazil.
The Sounders are inviting fans to viewing parties for the U.S. group-stage matches in the World Cup at The Atlantic Crossing Pub and Fuel Sports Eats And Beats. The events, held in conjunction with The American Outlaws, official supporters group of U.S. Soccer, will feature Sounders player appearances and a raffle with prize giveaways.
Coach Sigi Schmid and the Sounders were fined undisclosed amounts by the MLS disciplinary committee for violations in multiple confrontations Saturday in Chicago against the Fire.
Among the many World Cup traditions is a quaint one in the U.S.: The quadrennial bashing of soccer by fans of other sports, while defenders decry American ignorance. Adherents always say the corner has been turned, while critics say it's a round building.
The Sounders survived an immensely crabby first half, which saw the ejections of Obafemi Martins and his one-time teammate, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, for a wild 3-2 win over the Fire in Chicago Saturday to enter the three-week World Cup break with 32 points and an MLS-best 10-3-2 mark. Real Salt Lake's loss Saturday to Portland gives Seattle a seven-point advantage in the West.
The top two teams in MLS were missing their best players, but the Sounders' depth helped them dominate a game of attrition for a 4-0 triumph Saturday afternoon in front of 39,245 at the Clink that was Real Salt Lake's first defeat of the season.

Fascinating and very long article by a self-confessed Diablo 3 Auction House botter, talking about how he made over 100k Euros in a year, entirely through buying low and selling high on the AH and RMAH. The article is huge and goes into great detail about everything, including the scripts he used, the multiple machines he had running, and how easy it was to avoid Blizzard's very lacking anti-botting measures.
The botter's first attempts were by using a very simple script to scan Auction House listings, one item at a time, and automatically buy ones with stats that exceeded his set parameters, and with a price below his maximum value. This required him to know which items were powerful, what the best stats on them were, how much they'd sell for on the RMAH, etc. It took a lot of work and daily updates to the search scripts, but with millions of players using the AH, many of them without a clue about the actual value of their items, it was shooting fish in a barrel.
I remember in these months I used to search a lot for rare rings or rare amulets. What still comes to my mind is a criteria searching for rare amulets with more than 7 critical hit chance and more than 50 critical hit damage and buying any that cost below 1 or 2 million gold. I sold amulets with these criteria on the RMAH (Real Money Auction House), for tens and sometimes even 100+ euros. Stuff like 7+ crit chance, 50+ crit damage and a high main stat like strength or intelligence + vitality was considered pretty good back then. Trifectas ( crit chance + crit damage + increased attack speed) was even more rare and expensive.
Another popular thing I remember botting the old fashioned way was Chantodo's force wizard sources. These were great because almost no one seemed to know that the property "Arcane power on critical hit" was actually rare and very valuable. So you could just adjust your bot to search for chantodo's force sources with arcane power on crit and above a specific damage, choose the minimum price under which the bot would buy any item it found, and you were good to go.
That was the very earliest version of the system, which was active in late 2012. The technology was quickly improved and with better coding his bot became able to search many types of items at once, all with different selected stats and minimum values in them, with different pricing criteria, and he figured ways to keep it refreshing constantly, so it would scan literally every single gold item sale that appeared within seconds of it going on the market.
On January 1st I started selling those sweet sweet presents. And the results were staggering. The money started flowing in immediately. Before, I was searching for 1 variation of 1 single item, for example any Mempo of Twilight with Critical Hit Chance, below the price of 1 million gold. Now, I could search for 100 different variations of Mempo of Twilight, plus hundreds of variations of all other worthwhile items. In the first days though, I only had one bot account, which I was using to bot some legendary items in the "armor" category. Even with this small sample of all possible items though, it was soon obvious to me that I had to buy a very powerful PC which could run more than 1 diablo window, and would also search the Auction House which much higher FPS (Frames per second).
He also made a fortune buying items that people mislisted in gold instead of RMT. That seems impossible, but the article has literally dozens of screenshots of spectacular items listed at 150 or 200 gold, when clearly the seller meant to list them at those prices… in EUROS! And no, the conversion rate of Diablo 3 gold to real money wasn't exactly 1-to-1…
First I bought one more account and started using 2 accounts which were botting for legendary Armor. Why another one botting the same subset of items? Take another look at the screenshots above.

Is there a way to add color to the background? Currently, it is just different patterns, would like to have color behind the slider. Thanks.
Happy Holidays.
Hi there,
You can edit the image responsible for the pattern with a color of your choice. Just go to the theme's folder > images and edit the file "slider_pattern_bg.png"
For someone like me who is a newbie, I have to replace it with another png image for color or is there a hex code I put in place? Is this in the editor part? Thanks.
That is an image file, so you have to edit it with an image editor.
Hello, I would like to know how to put a div with the post just as there is above the recent project on the subject appears in the live preview
Hey mate!
Can you please help me make the email field in the contact_us widget clickable and redirects to a specific link ?
Thanks a lot, your theme rocks !
Hi there,
Here's what you need to do:
Go to the theme folder > admin > widgets and open the file named "contact_us.php".
On line 68 replace this:

<?php echo $contact_email; ?>

with this:

<a href="mailto:<?php echo $contact_email; ?>"><?php echo $contact_email; ?>

and this:
$instance['contact_email'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['contact_email'] );
with this:
$instance['contact_email'] = $new_instance['contact_email'];
Now, you just put your email in the field and it will be automatically be linked.
Hello, Great theme thank you, could you help me with the 125×125 advert widget?
I wish to use different size banners (125×90) and also to centre the banner within the widget area.
How can I do this?
Kind Regards Andy
Hi there,
Go to your WP dashboard > Appearance > Athena Options > Styling Options and in the "Custom CSS " box paste this:
#content .ads li {
margin: 0 5px 10px 65px;
padding: 0;
Now, go to the theme folder > admin > widgets and open the file named "125×125_ads.php". On line 78, 82, 86, 90, 94 and 98 change this to 90:
Save. Done.
thanks for that, it all worked but it didn't align the footer ads widget only the sidebar ads widget.
Sorry, forgot about that. Add this too to the "Custom CSS " box:
#footer .ads li {
margin: 0 5px 10px 35px;
padding: 0;
hi mate
i want to replace the "read more" text on the button in the category page, but i could not find where to replace it.http://www.nishmedya.com.tr/?cat=3
another question is that i cannot create a contact page.
there is no page template named contact page.
how am i going to create a contact page.
Hi there,
1. Go to the theme folder and open the file named "archive.php". Look for the "Read More" text and replace it with anything you want.
2. There isn't any template for the contact page. Just create a new page and paste in the following code:
[contactform admin="firstname.lastname@example.com"]
thanks mate for your quick reply,
is there a way to change the text on the contact page. i need to translate them to turkish.
another question is that is there a way to use only 3 section on the footer instead of 4.
if i download the template again would i be charged 35 bucks again. for some reason i deleted the psd files but i want to do more customization.
thanks a lot
1. You can use the .po file from the "lang" folder to translate all the theme to Turkish. If you want to hardcode it you need to go to the theme folder > admin and open the file "shortcodes.php". From line 748 you'll see the code responsible for the contact form.
2. You could edit the "footer.php" file and remove this code to take out the last widget:

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar("Footer Right Last Sidebar") ) : ?>
<?php endif; // end of right footer sidebar ?>
3. You don't have to pay again. Go to your account > Downloads and you can download the theme again. (Also don't forget to rate )
i want to send you a screenshot, could you send me your email address please. thanks.
Hi there,
Send it to royal.flush [at] rocketmail.com
hi mate,
i want to use a different image for the featured article page.http://www.nishmedya.com.tr/?featured-slider=web-tasarim-ve-yazilim-hizmetlerimiz
i want to use different images for featured-slider on the index page and another image in the post page.

Hi there and sorry for the delay. Just sent you a reply.
Hello, can u help me in how to add a new place for a submenu, because ur them have a place for 1 menu only thanks in advance
Hi there,
Go to the theme folder and open the file named "functions.php". Look for this code at line 156:
add_action( 'init', 'register_navmenus' );
function register_navmenus() {
register_nav_menus( array(
'Header' => __( 'Header Navigation', 'framework')
Replace it with this:
add_action( 'init', 'register_navmenus' );
function register_navmenus() {
register_nav_menus( array(
'Header' => __( 'Header Navigation', 'framework'),
'Custom' => __( 'Second Navigation', 'framework')
Now, paste this code where you want the menu to be displayed (eg. footer.php):
// Using wp_nav_menu() to display menu
wp_nav_menu( array(
'menu' => 'Custom', // Select the menu to show by Name
'class' => '',
'menu_class' =>'',
'menu_id' => '',
'container' => false, // Remove the navigation container div
'theme_location' => 'Custom'

love the theme and would appreciate any help you can give me
Hi there,
Could you give me a little bit more details about what image header you want to change?

Just wanted to say that I recommend this template and the support offered by the designer. Top class and helpful
I sent you an emai on this did you get a chance to look at it?
many thanks
Hi there,
Yes, sorry for the late answer, but I was overloaded with work. Just sent you an email.
Is there anyway to specify a fixed height for the footer widget boxes so they are uniform
Hi there,
You can go to your WP dashboard > Appearance > Athena Options > Styling Options and paste this in the "Custom CSS " box:
.widget_footer {
height: 250px; /* adjust to your custom size */
Save. Done.
Hello! beautiful theme compliments! I wanted to know if you can delete the links to "featured-slider" on the slide, leaving slo scrolling images?
Hi there,
Go to the theme's folder and open the file named "featured-slider.php". On line 19 you'll find this code:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image_url; ?>" alt="" title="<?php if ($caption == on) { echo $caption_text; } ?>" />
Replace it with this:
<img src="<?php echo $image_url; ?>" alt="" title="<?php if ($caption == on) { echo $caption_text; } ?>" />
Save. Done.
great thanks a lot
Before I purchase this theme, I just want to make sure these are all adjustable.
Under the "Recent Project" column, I would like to be able to select specific posts to display, is that possible? I also noticed once I click on "View Portfolio" it takes me to a page displaying more posts, so on this specific page, is there a way to also selectively display posts in any order I would like? Also once I am in that section, would I be able to customize the filter links at the top?
Let me know, thanks!
Hi there and thank you for your interest.
The "Recent Projects" section displays the latest items from the portfolio page. You can control what items appear by setting the date to your items.
Same with the portfolio page. All the items are displayed by the date they're published. The most recent ones are showed first. You can edit the date and order them how you want.
The filter is formed by categories the items are in. You can change them to anything you want.
Does anyone know how to add the contact page. I thought there was a template and you just add it to the menu for it to be visible but I can't find it.
Hi there,
The contact form is easily added by creating a new page and adding this shortcode:
[contactform admin="email@example.com"]
Hello, I recently purchased your theme and I think its great, I have a question, Is there any way that i can add an image in the left and right white borders of the pages ? Kind Regards Lino
Hi there,
I'm not sure I properly understand what you're trying to achieve. Can you please send me a screenshot on my email at:
royal.flush [at] rocketmail.com
Hello Ginaalessia,
I have a problem with the sidebar. I have the impression that it is since i upgraded to newest WP release. But the site was going really slow and i trew out some plugins as well.
I was always using the main sidebar but suddenly instead of being right form the page. it's now under the page. Event if i only put text in it. So i made a custom sidebar called contact and in the page indicated that i was using this one. Same problem. I cant get the sidebar to be right from the page.
example: http://clouddog.eu/qr-code-3/
Another question. Where can i change the color of the text?
thx in advance, Peter

Da'ud Bob's Movie Review
August 2014
So there she was. Anna Sue. Gaily traipsing around that devil's den that is Amazon.com. Not a care in the world. Not a worry. No danger of being sucked into buying something that could possibly be dangerous. You know, like those pretty little jaguars in South America. Or those cute little grizzly bears in North America. Cute, right? Harmless, right? Oh, wait. And just like an alligator attacking its prey from its hiding place, she saw it. Ooh, pretty! Hmm, interesting. And, well, gosh, it's Shakespeare, so how bad could it possibly be? So of course she had to buy it. And have them send it to her home, where she could bring it inside, thinking, "what damage could it possibly do?" "I know, we could have Da'ud Bob review it." "And we should share the experience with some of our friends, too!" All the while little realizing just how many perfectly healthy brain cells were going to die an ugly death. All because she saw some harmless little thing out there on-line. But she did, and we did, and I did, and so it is that this month, Da'ud Bob reviews for you the Robot Shakespeare Company's presentation of The Tragedy of Macbeth.
\Or, as I prefer to think of it, Robot Macbeth.
With the voices of Miraid Booth-Ong, James Curcione, and Dan Gallagher, this is an animated version of "the Scottish play" in which all of the parts are played by robots. Green robots, red robots, blue robots. Male robots, female robots. Some with what appear to be light sabers. The plot, of course, should be so familiar to you that I needn't repeat it here. It is a study of how overweening ambition can lead to madness, and how you have to be careful to parse what a witch tells you very carefully, or it'll trip you up every time. And, of course, being a Shakespearean tragedy, nearly everyone dies at the end.
Good points: The soundtrack, mostly classical music: Beethoven, Holst, Dvorak, Grieg, Brahms, and Mussogorsky were the ones I could pick out. Stuff blows up. And it has a great closing shot.
Bad points: The screen that read "Those are two good weak spots." The use of a Star Trek Next Generation font on the screen readouts, with most of the words backwards, distracting you from the play as you try to read them. "Incoming Enemy Fleet." England is, apparently, in orbit around the Earth. It left us with the question, "What do robots drink?" 40 weight oil? Or if they're having the equivalent of a "light beer," 20 weight? The Dalek tower gun emplacements. I kept expecting them to start saying, "Exterminate! Exterminate!" But they didn't.
Zero breasts. (Well, they're robots.) Zero blood. (And not much oil.) Six dead bodies. Light saber fu. Light dagger fu. Star Wars-style laser pistols fu. Explosive sticky patches fired from pistols fu. Head rolls. Gratuitous laptop. Gratuitous hologram dagger. Gratuitous Iron Man chest lights. All of the male robots had gratuitous crotch lights. Why? Gratuitous Star Trek LCARS (Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) screens. A 62 on the Vomit Meter. Two stars. Chad Bob says, "Watch your six, Banquo-bot." Da'ud Bob says, "The Robot Shakespeare Company is currently working on an edition of King Lear. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Check it out!"
Upcoming movies and miniseries to watch for!

* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
The i3 series of processors have generally been well received and this generation (known as Sandybridge) go one step better. First of all Sandybridge had a huge problem with the motherboard issues which caused it not to be well received initially. However, once the B3 (revision 3) came out all the problems have disappeared.
This CPU can be called midrange and at this price point of around £90, this is ideal for those who do a bit of gaming and like to multitask. However, this isn't really a QUAD core processor even though the name may imply so. In actuality, this CPU has 2 physical cores and 2 virtual cores. Don't let that detract you though because it performs as well as any quad core CPU. For example the gaming, desktop, encoding performance of this i3 2100 is very comparable to that of an AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition. It may not be the powerhouse like i5 or i7 processors, but it doesn't cost nearly as much.
One of the major advantages of this cpu is the thermal draw power (TDP) which is much lower than other quad core and dual core counterparts. In fact the TDP of an AMD 955BE is 125W wheras this one is only 65W. That is nearly half the TDP yet similar performance. So you save on power for starters, but this also has an added benifit: your CPU cooler doesn't sound like a jet engine. The standard CPU cooler that comes with i3 2100 performs brilliantly and given the small 65W TDP it not only is a lot quieter but also manages to keep system temperatures low and steady.
Multitasking is excellent and you can happily play a game like CoD MW2 or BFBC2 WHILST encoding a video and decompressing a file! It is by no means a slouch, however don't expect amazing frame rates for those demanding games.
The installation of this CPU is pretty simple and straight forward. The pins are aligned to the motherboards socket and the fan simply clicks into place without needing to apply too much pressure.
My only gripe is that for an additional £19 you can get the i3 2120 which is a much better performer.
The Intel Core i3 processor is the perfect entry point for a fast, responsive PC experience. This processor comes equipped with Intel HD graphics, an advanced video engine that delivers smooth, high-quality HD video playback, and advanced 3D capabilities, providing an ideal graphics solution for everyday computing.
A smart choice for home and office, the Intel Core i3 processor also features Intel Hyper-Threading technology, which enables each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance you need for smart multitasking. Do not let too many open applications slow you and your PC down. Get smart performance now.

It's hockey day!
Boston College has a stiff test in their season opener: the first game of the Hockey East-Big Ten Challenge at Michigan, at the Wolverines' famous Yost Arena. The Wolverines are coming off a disappointing 18-19-3 season which saw them miss the NCAA tournament for the first time in over 20 years. However, they ended the season on a major hot streak, and as usual, have a loaded freshman class this year.
Brian Cook of MGoBlog.com chatted with me about the upcoming matchup.
BC Interruption: I know everyone's probably sick of talking about the Big Ten at this point, but here we are, poised to start the league's inaugural season. How did you feel about college hockey realignment when it was first announced, and how are you feeling about it now that it's a reality?
mgoblog: I thought it was necessary if the sports was going to grow at all. The CHA never found any solid footing and with both western conferences at 12 teams there was nowhere for a new program to go. Now there's a carrot for Big Ten teams to add hockey and room for the new WCHA and NCHC to add teams. There are costs--goodbye reasonable road trips, hello inane conference tourney format--but it had to happen.
BCI: What are you basing this season's expectations for Michigan on? The horrendous middle of the year, which led to your blog ripping the team to shreds, or the surge at the end of the season that nearly catapulted them into the NCAA tournament, falling just short in a CCHA title game loss to Miami?
mgoblog: More the latter than the former. Michigan started turning it around once Andrew Copp was elevated to the #1 C, and his infectious energy is now bolstered by an incoming class of freshmen who are high-energy effort players. That was the biggest problem with last year's team... that wasn't goaltending. That remains a question mark. Starter Steve Racine finished the year on a .921 tear, but started it well under .900. He's probably somewhere in between those extremes.
BCI: Michigan always seems to have a tremendous recruiting class, due to 1) being Michigan, 2) playing in one of the nation's top hockey states, and 3) the US national development program playing in Ann Arbor. How do you feel about this year's class? Any particular names we should be looking out for?
mgoblog: As mentioned, this year's class is low on electric skill but high on guys who make a lot of small effort plays. Second line center JT Compher is the guy to watch, especially if you like thinking "wow, that little thing was really smart" about six times a shift. Michigan will also rely heavily on freshman defensemen Nolan De Jong and Michael Downing.
BCI: Michigan lost its preseason tune-up game against Waterloo. Did you see the game? What the hell happened?
mgoblog: They ran into a hot goalie and didn't capitalize on a few different opportunities. They outshot Waterloo significantly and probably win that game 8 of 10 times. I'm a bit worried that Michigan didn't seem to get many opportunities off the rush, but they're just going to have to grit out a lot of goals this year. They don't have guys with epic skill.
BCI: Michigan coach Red Berenson is a legend, but based on what I see on fan sites, many feel like it's time for him to go, sort of how many BU fans felt about Jack Parker in recent years. Where are you on that debate - and more importantly, where do you think the University is? Are they content with the current level of the program or do they think changes need to be made?
mgoblog: Berenson's earned the right to go out on his terms, especially since he's not a Mack Brown kind of guy who's going to hang on by the tips of his whitened fingers. He considered retiring after last year, in fact. He's still untouchable; he'll remove himself long before anyone is forced to do it for him.
BCI: Many of the east's top hockey programs - including BC, BU, UNH, and a number of ECAC powers - also have successful women's hockey teams. Four B1G teams do as well (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Penn State). Do you foresee Michigan or Michigan State adding a women's hockey team in the near future?
mgoblog: If they were going to they probably would have done so when Michigan added men's lacrosse. To balance those title IX issues they added women's lax instead.
BCI: Finally, give me your predictions: first, for Thursday night's season opener between Michigan and BC, and second, for how you think Michigan will fare in the Big Ten's inaugural season.
mgoblog: I don't have a whole lot of hope Michigan will be able to hold off BC with a very young defense corps that has one really good player (senior captain Mac Bennett) and a lot of question marks. Someone is getting skinned by Gaudreau, maybe multiple someones. It'll be relatively tight but BC should win by a goal or two.
For the season, Michigan should return to the tourney as a three-seed or so and finish second or maybe third in the Big Ten; Minnesota's the favorite but everyone else save Wisconsin is at a clear talent deficit relative to Michigan, and now that they're driven again they should outdistance the rest of the league.
Thanks to Brian for answering our questions. Check out one of the best college sports blogs on the internet at MGoBlog.com.

Outstanding visuals but for a flight sim fan lacks realism
What was GIANT
- Presentation > Looks amazing, one of the best looking games on the 360 for sure. Fireworks really neat addition.
- Planes > Very good selection of the best planes around and they look great too. The only thing here is they don't feel that different when flying them except maybe for the A-10 and F-117 which are noticeably slower.
- Atmosphere > Except for the weak lame story, when in flight the communications and overall action is quite entertaining.
- Gameplay > Although not realistic, it's easy to pick up and play and the control scheme makes sense however It does lack depth.
What BOMBed
- Realism > Unlimited weapons, no chaff/flare, enemies have some planes that make impossible aerodynamic flight paths. You can outrun missiles which is nuts. Crazy flying aircraft carrier, UFO drones, crazy big-bertha mega-gun !
- Mission Chaos > Thousands of enemies, hundreds of planes and unclear mission objectives. Out of nowhere, part of the mission fails. Missiles from a thousand directions so the missile alert is on 90% of the time.
- Story > Quite possibly the worst story in a while with pathetic lines and hearing "flying like angels" 10,000 times. Needs total overhaul. Again, add some realism to it, the planes you're given are real so why not make it all tie together.
- Online > Tried battle match and it was similar to an FPS in a single small sized room, imagine that, you shoot someone or you're down in less than a second.
- Font > What's with Japanese games and Times New Roman?!

Animation Tools and Plugins (Flash)I've compiled a list of useful extensions and plugins for flash animators. You can also view this list on my tumblr, in case formatting got screwed up: http://zedrin-stormshock.tumblr.com/post/39765359684/flash-animation-toolbox-guideTo install these plugins, download them, open up your Extension Manager, click 'install', and select the .zxp or .mxp file. There should be a description in each file of where to enable the plugin in Flash.Toon Monkey (David Wolfe)These are a collection of tools to suit your fancy. Most of them do single functions, so read their descriptions and decide what would be useful. I've listed some of the ones I recommend.For assets and puppet rigging, I would recommend libAppend and Search and Replace, which allow you to rapidly name and rename symbols.FrameEDIT and FrameEXIT make editing nested symbols easier by taking
Contest Time! *winner announced* See bottom.Hi everyone! Recently I've been very fickle and craving a new out of this world character. A really unique one!

I will keep updating if I keep thinking of things to add!The first 10 people to feature this journal will get a free headshot of a character of their choice.

The task would be to design a fursona or personafor me!The deadline is March 26th 2013 (DEFINITELY LAST EXTENSION DUE TO A ERROR AT WORK) (yes I have extended it!) and it can be extended if needed.

Happy New Year and exciting Dash Academy news!As I reflect upon the past year, it is clear I have a lot to be thankful for.Dash Academy has an amazing readership, and I am truly awed by the entertaining and encouraging feedback you have been leaving! Reading your comments fuels my own excitement for the comic. A big thank you to everyone who has sent in gift art - it is always so wonderful to see what you have made. Sixty-six (!) pieces of gift art were featured in the previous journal, and I would be delighted to feature more in this journal as well (and I always keep hard copies of your art on my computer and backup drive so I can cherish them :iconpinkieforeverplz: FOREVER).A special thank you to :iconGrusnoid: who has helped me with football/rugby concepts, paypal and point donors, DeviantArt subscription donors, and to all of the Dash Academy translators! (Seventeen languages and counting!)Onto some news and announcements: Are you a fan of MLP-FiM's music? :iconsenn555: has organized a petition to ask Hasbro
Lucille Bliss's dead (Ms. Bitters)Lucille's died on november 8 cause of her deep age (96!).As soon as I know she was a great voice actress. I heard her as Smurfette in Smurfs tv show and at some others shows.I don't know about Lucille as a person much. But i can say that I love bad guys and Bitters was one of my favorites. Misterious and scary like a monsrer from night's darkness. And you can agree - there is not so many good woman bad guys theese days. And those who only watching... Not acting... Watching in interest... well I don't think she was interested in something.So this is it. We lost 1 person from IZ voice team and it's kinda sad. You all know why.Well yeah. I can say that this is sad.And thanks to :icondonotcrosskilliross: for letting know.
