Making Out With a Goddess by j/j hastain
When the moment for a meal finally manifests, its metabolism ravenously ricochets, physically increasing the size of the python's heart in just a short three-day period. Enzyme-gush protects the heart from injury, and this occurs just after the python has engorged. The body is a green area constantly being affected by reddening.Read More
Metaphysics, History

The first is a matter of metaphysics, the second of history. At least since the publication of her first collection...Read More

Theories of workplace control typically have little to say about freedom. The workplace is often understood as a totalizing environment, saturated with obvious and subtle forms of coercion, so the struggle for freedom is best confined to realm of leisure, or more typically, left off the agenda entirely.Read More
Jaques Derrida From Notre Dame Philosophical Review: Geoffrey Bennington's Not Half No End, a volume of essays all written, with the exception of one, after Jacques Derrida's death in October 2004, is "profoundly marked" by this death and attempts "to go on thinking in its wake" (xi).

Moses Receiving the Tablets of the Law, Domenico Beccafumi, 1537 by Philip Kitcher Many people believe, like Dostoyevsky's Ivan Karamazov, that if ethical precepts were not grounded in God's commands, then anything would be permitted.

Murder is nearly always understood as an individual event and the criminal justice system reinforces this notion: there is an artifact, a body, that needs accounting for, and the medical examiner measures, weighs, dissects and categorizes the body as to age, race, gender and cause of death.

Schalke head coach Jens Keller was dissatisfied with his team's 1-1 draw at home to PAOK in their UEFA Champions League play-off first leg.
Jefferson Farfan put the Bundesliga outfit ahead with a 32nd-minute strike in Gelsenkirchen but Miroslav Stoch scored a crucial equaliser for PAOK in the second half.
Keller said his side's performance had been solid but urged them to stay positive despite being frustrated with the result.
"We are not happy with the final result. We played a great first half and performed as we wanted to and should have got a result from that," the 42-year-old coach told reporters after the draw.
"We were aggressive, attacked them early and earned the goal but then in the second half we didn't continue that level of performance.
"We stopped running and fighting hard for the ball, which is required to keep a clean sheet against good opposition.
"I think we had a good performance even though the result isn't satisfying. Luckily for us we still have the second leg, so the chances to go through aren't that bad and we have to stay positive and keep fighting."
Keller lamented Schalke's failure to create more chances, particularly in the first half, and said their final passes were poor.
"I think we had many good scenes, just the final pass was missing but we were good from the wings, the way we played especially in the first half was OK," Keller said.
The second leg, to be played in Greece on Tuesday, will be behind closed doors because of crowd disturbances.
PAOK coach Huub Stevens, who was in charge at Schalke from September 2011 to December 2012, was pleased with his team's second-half performance.
"We didn't play well on the wings in the first half, which is something that we cleared up at half-time," Stevens said.
"In the second half Schalke weren't so dangerous. We were more stable and we profited from that."

I love my donut pan. I have had it for a couple years now and it is fabulous. I can't believe it took me this long to start making my own donuts. Don't get me wrong. I love Tim Horton's donuts. However, my homemade Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are just as yummy, if not better!
You can read all about my original Baked Cake Donuts Recipe, which gives you the recipe as well as showing the pan I use. My kids absolutely love cinnamon and sugar, so it was only natural for me to change up the cake donuts just a bit!
Cinnamon Sugar Donuts Recipe
You will need:
- 2 cups cake flour, sifted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, plus additional for adding to cinnamon mix
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp. butter, melted
- cinnamon
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Add buttermilk, eggs and butter. Beat until just combined. Fill each doughnut cup approx. 2/3 full.
Bake 7-9 minutes or until the top of the doughnuts spring back when touched. Let cool in pan for 4-5 minutes before removing. Finish doughnut by dipping quick in melted butter and coating with cinnamon/sugar mixture! I never have buttermilk or cake flour on hand, so I substitute the cake flour with all-purpose flour, but use 2 tablespoons less than the recipe calls for. I use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar mixed with about a cup of milk to substitute for the buttermilk!

Official: Hundreds face imminent death in Yarmouk camp
Published Friday 10/01/2014 (updated) 12/01/2014 11:08
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Hundreds of Palestinian refugees in the besieged Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus face imminent death in the coming 10 days unless a safe supply line is opened, a Palestinian official told Ma'an Thursday.
Ayman Abu Hasham, director of the Palestinian Refugees Support Network in Syria, said that residents in the camp are eating grass in order to ward off starvation, which he says will kill hundreds if supply lines are not opened soon.
On Thursday, there was an attempt to transfer 300 patients from the camp to receive medical treatment but snipers from the Syrian government fired at them, injuring the director of a relief committee Fuad al-Omar, Abu Hashem said.
"Claims that there are militants in the camp are just to justify the siege," Abu Hashem said.
"According to international law, citizens must be protected by the military force controlling the area -- meaning the Syrian regime."
Any side which undermines initiatives to bring food into the camp are participating in the siege, Abu Hashem said, accusing the PFLP-GC and the Syrian government of blockading the refugee camp.
UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness told Ma'an Friday that "the profound civilian suffering in Yarmouk deepens, with reports of widespread malnutrition and the absence of medical care, including for those who have severe conflict-related injuries, and including for women in childbirth, with fatal consequences for some women."
"From a humanitarian perspective, Yarmouk remains closed to humanitarian access and remains a place where extreme human suffering in primitively harsh conditions is the norm for Palestinian and Syrian civilians living there. The imperative remains that that Syrian authorities and other parties must allow and facilitate safe and open humanitarian access into Yarmouk to enable us to assist civilians trapped there."
Electricity and heating have been absent in the camp for nearly one year and there is an infrequent supply of water, Gunness added.
After rebels seized control of Yarmouk in December 2012, the camp became embroiled in the armed fighting taking place across Syria and came under heavy regime assault.
Regime forces eventually encircled the camp and in July imposed a siege on the camp, leading to a rapid deterioration of living conditions.
The Syrian conflict, which began as peaceful protests in March 2011 but developed into a civil war, has killed more than 130,000 people and prompted millions to flee their homes.

How dare Israel usurp the Holocaust to justify the theft of Palestine while Palestinian refugees (refugees because of Western colonialism) are suffering in Syria! Palestinian refugees deserve the right to return to Palestine ahead of any so called 'Jewish settlers!'

no. palestinians have no right to return to nowhere. Nobody asked them to flee in 1948. Palestinians who stayed in great israel I'm sure are having a little better life than in syria and instead of blaming israel who are helping people blame syrians who are killing your palestinians

11/01/2014 04:32
To Tobi #1: 'If a Palestinian is starved by a Non-Jew does he make a sound? Why isn't this reported any where?' It's being reported right here. In any case, given that the Jews drove the Palestinians into Syria, who is ultimately responsible for their starvation is a good question. Do you think the Jews would let these Palestinians back into Palestine?

Prayers for the residents of Yarmouk. A ceasefire must take root all over Syria. There is a specific move that will facilitate such an outcome. Montreaux will not do the trick. A city more central to the Middle East with more gravitas should be the venue for a conference "Syria and Middle East Emergency Polio Vaccination Program 2014" (SMEEPVP2014), Tent of Meeting required. International Peace Conference. Think "Treaty of Westphalia" set piece/time limited meetings plus ongoing deliberations.

Hmm...well, let's look at this. Lebanon's already taken in 1.4 million Syrian refugees -- and it's a very small country that wasn't in too great of shape to begin with. Same applies to Jordan, to a lesser extent... I know: Israel! Israel's wealthy, the Palestinians are from there, and to date, it's taken in ZERO Syrian refugees. Time for the ol' Light unto the Nations to step up to the plate, I would say.

I applaud Australia's "Turn Back the Boats".

At our TEDxGatewayArch event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Latest Frye Reviews
Reviewer: Kerry Doyle
from United States
I've been wanting these boots FOREVER... I finally went for it! They are really cute in person but the quality doesn't seem to be what it used to be 10 - 15 years ago. The leather is very stiff and the sole is separated where the rubber and leather meet... I don't think the old style soles did that. Also the first time I wore them out I got HUGE blisters on both heels... I was in pain and hobbling around (quite embarrassing). I can see these are going to take some time to break in but they will be worth the pain and suffering. ;)
Reviewer: Ian
These boots fit amazing and looked great. I have narrow, small feet, with very high arches, so boots can be tricky for me. I loved everything about them until massive holes formed around the toes within three months. I only wore them to work frequently, but I work in a spa so that is hardly distressing. I was so disappointed, as these are the most comfortable boots that I have ever owned (also, the most expensive). They really did not live up to their reputation. I hope my local cobbler can fix them to last. The last time I had to go to the cobbler was for a pair of Dr. Martens that were 10 years old. A comfortable, stylish letdown.
So bummed I read the reviews some people said they run big some said small so I stuck with my normal size 8 but alas the right one is tight in the toe width. My feet are fairly narrow so I suggest most people order a 1/2 size up. I got the smoke color by the way, as the picture shows they are brown not grey (I heard some complaints in that arena so FYI). They look very close to the picture, a little darker than shown but nothing drastic. Anyway I love them but will have to exchange for a half size up otherwise I'll be dying by the time my sister's country wedding is over. They will also need a few days wearing as they are quite stiff. The bottoms are just fine for me on my hard wood floors so I don't know why people were saying they are slippery. Definitely going to be worth the big price once I get the size right & break them in a little.
About Frye
The Frye Company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a shoemaker from England. Frye products have a long and illustrious history. Frye boots were worn by soldiers for both sides of America's Civil War, soldiers in the Spanish-America war, and for Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Many New England families during the mid and late 1800's wore Frye boots as they pioneered across the country to the West.
Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots. The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

"First off, your website was easy to use. Uploading pictures to my gallery was easy. When it came time to pick what pictures I wanted to put on my birth announcement they were all there and easy to view/sort. I loved the big selection of birth announcements that you offer. The modern script boy birth announcement was simple and elegant. I loved that I could pick how many pictures I wanted to place on the announcement. I decided to place 7 pictures on the front, 6 were smaller but the center picture on the front was nice and big, it was the centerpiece of the entire announcement. I love the font selections as well as being able to write a little message about my sons birth. The pictures turned out great and the card stock was nice and sturdy. The only thing that I would say that I would of liked is a few more color choices for the border and body of the card. It did not seem like there was a big enough selection of colors. Other than that I was very happy with my purchase and so was my family. It shipped really fast to me and came packaged great so nothing got bent in the mail. I will be purchasing future items from shutterfly such as birthday announcements and photo books."
"I was searching around everywhere for the perfect birth announcement for my baby girl. Once I saw the truffle ruffle girl birth announcement, my shopping was over!! This card is soo pretty! The colors are very soft and not overwhelming. Your biggest decision will be picking out what picture you want on this card! I soo recommend this birth announcement."
"Love the design of this announcement, and the ability to include several pictures on the back. We have loved sharing this with our friends and family."
"The quality of the birth announcements and pictures we ordered is amazing and we are very pleased with the products. The customer service we received when FedEx misplaced our order was phenomenal as well, you reordered and resent our pictures without any hesitation. Thank you!"
"I loved the great selection of birth announcements.
The process of creating my project was so easy to follow.
I definitely was satisfied with my card, they arrived in a sort time and the quality of the product exceeded my expectations. I look forward to order other products from shutterfly."

Fitness entrepreneur pumps up expansion plans
Send this story to a friend
- Lisa van der Pool, firstname.lastname@example.com
Fitness entrepreneur Mark Harrington is plowing money into his Healthworks and GymIt concepts in the face of increasing local competition.
Harrington opened his second GymIt location in Watertown earlier this month, after opening the first in 2011 in Brookline. Meanwhile, Healthworks recently completed a major renovation project at its Chestnut Hill location totaling nearly $500,000.
The GymIt concept is a no-frills club open to both genders, where members make relatively low monthly payments because extras like saunas, steam rooms and juice bars are missing. GymIt has two membership levels, one for $20 per month and another for $27 per month that allows members to bring a guest.
"GymIt is all about creating a member-friendly gym experience," said Matt Harrington, Mark Harrington's son and president of GymIt. "By getting rid of some extra things that most members don't even use, we're able to provide a high-quality experience at an affordable price."
Mark Harrington opened his first all-female Healthworks health club in Salem in 1978. Healthworks currently operates four gyms in the Back Bay, Chestnut Hill, Cambridge and Brookline (The Salem location has closed). The company also operates two nonprofit fitness centers in Dorchester.
Healthworks currently has about 12,500 members and brought in $22 million in revenue in 2012, a 4 percent increase over 2011, according to Mark Harrington, who said he's scouting for an additional Healthworks location in the Boston area.
The opening of GymIt in 2011 came at a time when clubs like Blast Fitness, Planet Fitness and Bally's' which all offer memberships that cost around $20 per month, began to crowd the Boston market. To date, GymIt's first location has more than 3,500 members and the new Watertown location has about 2,000. GymIt took over a Super Fitness that was previously housed in the new Watertown location, which the company has spent more than $1 million to renovate. GymIt's first location brought in about $1.1 million in revenue during its first full year. Combined, the two GymIt clubs have 30 staffers.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Alexander Zubkov has company in his pursuit of Olympic history.
More than the Russian probably expected.
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Alexander Zubkov has company in his pursuit of Olympic history.
More than the Russian probably expected.
Definitely more than he wanted.
Trying to become the sixth driver to win two bobsled gold medals in the same games, Zubkov has a narrow lead over Latvia's Oskars Melbardis, defending gold medalist Steven Holcomb in USA-1 and Germany's Maximilian Arndt after the first two runs of the four-man competition, shaping up to be a sled-to-sled battle between the world's fastest drivers on ice.
The margin: 0.17 seconds separating four sleds, the closest four-man race through two runs in Olympic history.
So before the cauldron in Sochi goes dark Sunday night, there's some drama left to be settled on the bobsled track.
"There's a lot of good teams out here," said Holcomb, who wasn't slowed by a nagging calf injury. "I knew it was going to be a battle like this."
The favorite after dominating the two-man event, the 39-year-old Zubkov and his crew completed their two runs down the Sanki Sliding Center track on Saturday in 1 minute, 50.19 seconds — 0.04 seconds ahead of Melbardis, who jumped three sleds with a blistering second run.
Holcomb, who couldn't catch Zubkov in two-man and settled for bronze, is fourth, 0.17 seconds behind Zubkov. Arndt in Germany-1 is third, 0.16 seconds back.
The 0.17-second gap between first and fourth place is the closest through two runs in Olympic history, topping the 0.23-second space between the four top challengers at Albertville in 1992.
With two runs left on Sunday, the gold is very much up for grabs.
"I knew it was going to be hard to be first," Holcomb said. "Coming down and having that pretty good lead going into that second heat, ahead of the Latvians, it shows anybody can have a good run and move right up. We're only 17-hundreths out of a gold medal and that can be made up in two runs, easily."
If Zubkov is feeling any pressure to win Russia's first gold in four-man and put an exclamation point on the Sochi Games for the host nation, he's not showing it — at least not in his sled.
But after his two runs, Zubkov was somewhat tense and a little irritated by a crash involving Canada-3, which came shortly before the leading sleds began their second runs.
"The Canadians spoiled the track," Zubkov snapped. "That's why the top teams are struggling."
Canadian driver Justin Kripps' wreck didn't bother Melbardis, who posted a time of 55.13 on his second run to move ahead of Arndt, Holcomb and Germany's Thomas Florschuetz. Melbardis won a World Cup event here last year, and was viewed as a potential spoiler in four-man.
Chilled by the colder temperatures at night, the world's longest track was lightning fast for the 30-sled field. It challenged the drivers, who made their training runs during the day in much warmer weather and had to quickly adjust to maneuvering their 460-pound (208-kilogram) vehicles loaded with 800 pounds (363 kilograms) of passengers in unfamiliar conditions.

Hello everyone – it's great to be back in the studio again – the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd etc. Our teams have been working hard to bring you a fabulous mix of interesting items, regular features and top celebrity chat.
In our first week, we'll be meeting Mark Benton, fresh from rehearsals on the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour. Eagle eyed viewers may actually spot that Mark will be missing from the final part of the show as he has to hot- foot it back to Wembley for a performance this evening. Also joining us today will be Paul Hollywood, kneading us into shape and letting us prove under a damp teatowel while he makes a tasty sausage plait.
Tuesday brings our regular pet feature with the Barking Blondes Jo and Anna and some more weird and wonderful animal antics. Guests include Stephen Tompkinson and Olympic gold medal winner Victoria Pendleton, whilst on Wednesday we've got Meera Syal (The Kumars) and ex-Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford.
On Thursday actress Pauline McLynn – you may know her as Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted, Joe Pasquale (no introduction necessary!) and Tim Healy (the cross-dressing Les/Lesley from Benidorm) are sure to cause a stir in the studio and rounding off the week on Friday we have Pam Ferris (Call The Midwife), food writer and cook Lorraine Pascale.
Add to this a host of entertaining and informative features and top it off with a live performance of Seasons of Love by Kerry Ellis and the cast of Rent and that, ladies and gentlemen, is week 1 in a nutshell.
I hope you can join us for some, if not all of it!
Happy 2014!
I hope the festive season brought all that you wished for – bulging stockings, a plump juicy turkey and plenty of joy and goodwill to go round (you know, the kind that comes in handy when playing charades for the 12th time).
It's back in the studio for the teams next week at Titchmarsh HQ, and it's all systems go. We have three teams who cover the week, all doing two shows a week (we pre-record some shows as some of you regulars will know by now). So working on the show means you've really got your work cut out for you – there's no leaning on your spade here and having a chat over the allotment fence, it's put-your-back- into- it and seek those stories out, get the features researched, guests booked, travel sorted, props sourced, and if you're lucky you might be able to look up from your computer screen for long enough to peer at the clock and wonder how on earth it can be 9pm already.
We handpick our teams and they always do a fantastic job. There is usually a mix of some new faces, eager to jump on the treadmill of a daily live telly, and – even stranger – some faces who have worked on the series before and yet seem to want to come back for more. I guess it can't be all that bad then, can it?
Our regular features are all back by popular demand, including Consumer, Health, Pets and our life-changing Makeover segment. If you'd like to contribute to any of these items, make sure you follow us on Twitter and Facebook as this is how we let you know what the teams are looking for in terms of guests/appearances etc.
You can join in the fun in person without being on the telly by being in our audience – contact www.sro.com for details of tickets. Shows are recorded at ITV Studios on the South Bank during the day. We film two shows a day and you even get a half time juice, courtesy of the lovely audience ushers.
And if you don't wish to contribute or come along to the studios, you can simply snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy the show from the comfort of your own living room – now hopefully calm, peaceful and charade free!
Back on 20th January 2014 – 3pm, don't miss it!
All the best,
Week 2
Winter hasn't been as bad as it could have been weather wise, although if you've been caught in the floods or the gales of late you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise.
Last week our consumer team took a look the issue of flooding, with Fiona Foster and legal eagle Kevin Poulter offering advice to those who have had the misfortune to suffer from flooding and then discover that their insurance hasn't covered them.
One top tip, is that if you receive a warning of flooding on your phone from the environment agency – and you hit the button as requested to indicate that you have received the warning – you are usually required by your insurance policy to take preventative steps against flooding. This means moving things upstairs, protecting your thresholds with sandbags etc. Hopefully you won't be in a position to have to do this, but at least now you know.
One of our guests sadly didn't make the studio last week, actor Tim Healy was unwell but fellow Benidorm cast member Jake Caruso stepped boldy into the breach and came on the show at the last minute.
We had many contributors, including the extreme knitting ladies who brought in record breaking needles and got actress Pauline McLynn in a rare old tangle.
This week sees Christopher Timothy and Mat Horne on Monday, Tuesday brings Martin Shaw and Les Dennis, Wednesday welcomes Neil Dugdeon and Zoe Lucker, Thursday's child is Ben Fogle, along with Jenny Seagrove and we have Friday with Fiona Bruce.
All in all, another cracking week here in Studio 2 – I hope you'll be watching and you join in all our regular fun on Facebook and Twitter.

A group of strippers in Luchador (north Portland) are on a mission to help the homeless with a project called "Nude for the Needy". Started by Soren High, an Adult Entertainer herself, as a Christmas present for her family, she later brought more of the girls she works with on board. In an interview with a local news channel in Portland, she explained how she was also homeless for months and finally found a job.
They had a donation drive where they passed out 120 sandwiches, 96 blankets of which 36 were hand made, 150 care packages, five gallons of soup, clothing, and about 10 hugs each.
"I think everything was worth probably around $2000-$2500. The Red Light vintage store, Lowe's and Value Village donated clothing and handy tools and a friend from Costco donated $130 in snacks." Soren High added.
Watch the full interview below.

ESPN analyst Boone: Diamondbacks can win with pitching
Originally published: Feb 19, 2013 - 3:42 pm
"First and foremost the Diamondbacks have a pretty good nucleus of starting pitching," ESPN MLB analyst Aaron Boone told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday when asked if the D-backs could win as presently constrcuted. "They have a chance to pitch."
Ian Kennedy, Wade Miley, Brandon McCarthy and Trevor Cahill will be part of the rotation, with Tyler Skaggs, Patrick Corbin and Randall Delgado vying for the fifth spot. Following them, Arizona's bullpen figures to be quite good, too.
The team will need it.
Boone pointed to the improvements made by the Los Angeles Dodgers and the reigning world champion San Francisco Giants -- along with a San Diego Padres team he believes will surprise people -- as reasons for why the NL West will be a difficult division.
But while many point to the losses of players like Justin Upton and Chris Young as reason for why the offense may take a hit, the team's ability to limit the hits opponents get may keep them in most games.
"But the Diamondbacks have good, solid every day players and a chance, in their rotation, to compete with the upper echelon teams," Boone said. "So I think they're a classic case of if things break right for them they have a chance in the National League West."

2 Questions: > The WPML language selector does not appear in the menu, do I have to add some extra code fort this to appear?> How do you activate a 'wide slider'? I dont see this option… in the admin panel http://themes.laborator.co/silicon/features/wide-slider/
- To activate the Wide Slider first you have to set your template to Slider Page click update, and after that a new box with Slider Options wil appear, there you will need to specify which type of slider you want to use.
Thanks, Art.
p.s. Sorry for the late reply.
Hi. I'm having some difficulties with the contact form. I don't receive the email notifications. Checked everything and I don't understand why. It's rather annoying as the contact form is crucial for us. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.
Hi iendeuetju, this may be because your SMTP server (mail transfer server) isn't working properly where your website is hosted, did it work before in any site hosted in that website or can you test it somehow, to know whether the problem is at the contact form or the mail server.
Why this?
Fatal error: Class 'GalleryBox' not found in /home/demaispr/public_html/wp-content/themes/silicon/inc/actions.php on line 52
for which the icon is a miniature of entry that shows up in the big pictures? how it can be turned off, so this should not work, what is the exact resolution of the thumbnails and large images so that they are not stretched?
for you when taking photos for the portfolio, they are compressed and lose quality? how to turn it off?
hi K020, this feature is not build as an option on Silicon, it is because the theme crops and resizes the images to the porfolio size, and the bigger image appears after you've clicked on an image for larger resolution.
Thanks, Art.
Hi …. I would like to add the photo slideshow like the demo site but it's not working for me. How do I set that up? Also, I would like to bring the menu down. How can I add a margin to the top of the menu? Thanks!
Hi mskendras,
Could you be more specific, which photo slideshow do you mean the sliders or the page slideshow just like in the about page.
And about the menu, you can do it with CSS, just log in into the admin panel and then click Silicon > CUSTOM STYLING (CSS), this will overwrite the existing settings.
Thanks … I am referring to the slide on corporate ( http://themes.laborator.co/silicon/corporate/)
Also, can you please provide the css I would use to make the change to the menu.
Hi, and congratulations for this amazing theme! my quesion: can i reduce the header white space upper and lower the menu/logo space? i wish to do the same also with the search/social widget under the Header… Thanks
Hi latma, yes you can, if you know a little bit of CSS you can do that easily, just log in into the admin panel and then click Silicon > CUSTOM STYLING (CSS) and here you can customize your theme for each device size (tablet, phone and pc).
Yes i tried with padding but it works only to add some space and not for reducing white space… Can you please give me the code? Thanks
hey, gallery portfolio after entering the product has a bug in slide shows a thumbnail of the first image and it should not be so, and after you go down the page is a strange margin, please help because it's difficult for me to work on the side
I would ask to take a look here I would like to know why http://pdprint.pl/portfolio/centrohurt/ joins the thumbnail to slides and why the page is so stretched down
Hello The niche of my site is very specific so I decided to create some icons mine. How do I add custom icons to my website? I just want to add four on the homepage. They are icons that I made ??myself. It is very important.

Hi Laborator,
congats, great theme with rich features, but the Wide Slider option is not documented well, so please help us with a detailed instructions in the documentation, because I am on thight eadline migrating an old WP site to Silicon.
Uploaed slider images via Admin/Silicon panel, nothing happens. What's this function then, pls?
Next I went to edit the page – Slider images. Upload two new images, enter all meta tags from Title to Description. Fine. Images apper in the header, BUT once you click on the Title or Caption text you're redirected to http://yourdomain/alt%20text resulting 404 error.
Where are the settings for the link, pls?
What's more the metas seems to be mixed for my two test images.
Please give us a detailed docimentaion on this great feature as soon as possible.
Many thanks in advance
Hello there, Laborator.
I'm experiencing "500 Server Error" issues on my server.
The theme was configured to be auto updated, and prior to 1.2.1 version, everything went ok, but when the new release was installed everything started to go wrong, so I've assumed some kind of problem with this update, in fact I needed to completely reinstall wordpress and the database (no problem with that, my web page is in preproduction stage, but it is hosted in a production server).
Did you noticed this kind of problem in other users? I've installed 1.1 version and all seems to be ok in my server but when I install the last versión, all the system goes down.
Thanks in advance for your support.
I was in love with this theme until I hate it. If not even responding for the questions, or even the footer does not have options, what about the stupid slider and the widgets ! Oh forget about it … Nice job any way
We've made a F.A.Q, documentation and video tutorials on how to set up the theme, we're not responsible to all of your problems that's why the documentation is made for. All the questions are in queue, we're having a lot of issues to fix and we will respond to you also, just be patient.
the site I develop based on Silicon is set to have a Static Page as as home page. In Reading the Post page is set to a newly created blank page and this blank page is set to Parent: no parent, Template: Blog w Sidebar and assigned to a Main Menu called Blog.
The issue is that the Blog page displays only the latest post, No Sidebar, so the get_template_part('tpls/blocks', 'displayblogandsidebar'); in blog-sidebar.php is not executed.
The Blog w Sidebar only displayed when you click on any of the blog categories only.
Looking forward to receive your response on how to solve it.
I need some help about this error
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/demaispr/public_html/wp-content/themes/silicon/inc/gallery-box.php
just wonder how to import the demo xml? I imported this via the wordpress imported but everything is in a mess, pls. have a look at my test site at new.newbuilding.cn, thanks!
Hi hsie, we're also having trouble importing the demo XML file via WordPress, we are looking forward to fix it.To set up your site take a look at the videos we've made on how to set up Silicon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRngEwLlHl4&list=PLnmVEXzJn2laIju3XQq5K2oBx3iWX_wZj
and also please make sure you read the F.A.Q., you may find answers to any problem you have.
Have a nice day, Art.
I already read everything article that you provided, but no lucky with that. If the demo data can't be implemented, then we can't use the theme.
I sent you many emails about issues, but you never answer ? About isotope, slider on portfolio single item, etc. Any probleme ?
Hi Laborator,
Can the Wide Slider or any of the sliders set to be visible for Blog Posts as well and not only for Pages?
Hi panograph, this feature is not possible, sliders are only supported in pages where you can select your template, but posts do not allow to have a template.

Joint Commission Announces 'Top Performers'
Academic Hospitals Included
One criticism of the measurement formula last year was that it appeared to exclude nearly all of the 124 academic medical centers or teaching hospitals, many of which often deal with tougher patient populations. This year, 24 teaching hospitals made the list, including three Johns Hopkins hospitals.
Peter Pronovost, MD, director of the new Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and senior vice president for safety and quality, said that came with a lot of hard work and commitment from the highest levels of Johns Hopkins leadership.
"No Johns Hopkins Medicine hospital made this list in the past," Pronovost said during the news conference. But this year, for the first time, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Sibley Memorial in Washington, D.C. and All Children's Hospital, Inc. in St. Petersburg, FL —all Johns Hopkins hospitals—improved enough to make the grade.
Pronovost said few academic medical centers made the list "despite ranking high on other quality and reputation lists such as U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals." Pronovost attributed the academic hospitals' performance shortfalls to "higher patient acuity and volume, [and] more decentralized structures compared with community hospitals."
In December, 2011, however, Johns Hopkins president and trustees "committed to performing at least 96% on all core measures, one of the first quantitative goals we ever made."

Edtv Movie Review
When a TV channel called True TV is being beaten by The Gardening Channel, a woman (Ellen DeGeneres) comes up with a plan to save the channel, to put a man's life on TV around the clock. They select an unintelligent video store clerk named Ed (Matthew McConaughey). Ed enjoys the fame and fortune at first, but when it interferes with his relationship with his girlfriend (Jenna Elfman) and his family, Ed decides that maybe it wasn't such a good idea.
EdTV is different from The Truman Show because it is a comedy. It has a great supporting cast including Rob Reiner, the hilarious Martin Landau (in yet another great performance), and Woody Harrelson as Ed's brother, who writes a tell-all book called "My Brother Pissed on Me". Ron Howard has made a fantasy movie that unfortunately gets hurt by what I like to call The Truman Factor. I recommend it anyway.
...or, the real reason we recommend EdTV.

A Mathematical Approach to Order Book Modeling
AbstractMotivated by the desire to bridge the gap between the microscopic description of price formation (agent-based modeling) and the stochastic differential equations approach used classically to describe price evolution at macroscopic time scales, we present a mathematical study of the order book as a multidimensional continuous-time Markov chain and derive several mathematical results in the case of independent Poissonian arrival times. In particular, we show that the cancellation structure is an important factor ensuring the existence of a stationary distribution and the exponential convergence towards it. We also prove, by means of the functional central limit theorem (FCLT), that the rescaled-centered price process converges to a Brownian motion. We illustrate the analysis with numerical simulation and comparison against market data.

Cyrus Kouandjio, an offensive tackle from Hyattsville, Maryland, has signed with the Auburn football Tigers. The DeMatha High standout is the nation's top-ranked OT prospect per Rivals, the top prospect in Maryland, and the fourth-ranked high school recruit overall.
Kouandjio had offers from such storied programs as Iowa, Miami, USC, UCLA, and Oklahoma, but his final decision came down to Alabama, Auburn, and New Mexico. Yes, the New Mexico coached by Mike Locksley. Yes, that's this guy. We do not understand this any more than you do, we assure you.
Kouandjio weighs in at 6'7" and 322 lbs., and comes slathered with metaphor-laden praise:
Massive, athletic body with wide shoulders and barrel chest. Kouandjio also has very long, muscular limbs and resembles a cross between a giant tight end and WWE wrestler.

Our dedicated professional providers, supporters and volunteers work diligently to rehabilitate and care for these magnificent animals to bring them to a healthy and socialized state.
100% of all contributions are used to fund the foundation's mission. To date, ERAF has rescued over 110 horses and completed over 100 successful adoptions while keeping to their core objective:
ERAF's mission is to find a fully qualified forever home
for each equine that successfully completes our rehabilitation program
and to provide a loving, healthy and comfortable home for those that cannot.

Dustin Tavella - Diamond Girl
Artist: Dustin Tavella
Producer: Danny Majic
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 2 total votes )
Attractive female clubgoers are a dime a dozen (or, if they're not, you may be frequenting the wrong spots), but it's rare that you spot a chick who lights up the room by the simple fact of her presence. On Dustin Tavella's first DJBooth feature, promo single Diamond Girl, we find the indie singer/songwriter scanning the dancefloor for members of the latter category. Danny Majic's production, an addictive blend of four-on-the-floor percussion, guitar and disco-informed strings, sets the mood as Tavella emphasizes the stringency of his romantic standards: "So many girls in here lookin' the finest / You should know that I'm searching for the brightest." When the chorus rolls around, guest artist Fingazz busts out the talkbox to provide some Roger Troutman-style backing vocals. Has this body-moving single piqued your interest? Then stay tuned; Tavella doesn't currently have any larger projects in the works, but we'll keep you posted on his plans as further details emerge.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) A Harris County jury began hearing testimony in the capital murder trial of a woman accused of murdering a 12-year-old Houston boy.
Opening statements began Wednesday morning in the trial of Mona Nelson in a state district court in Houston.
Nelson is accused of murdering Jonathan Foster, who was not only murdered. After being murdered, the body of the boy was badly burned and then found stuffed in a culvert. He disappeared on Christmas Eve of 2010.
According to police, Nelson, a 44-year-old maintenance worker, kidnapped and killed Jonathan, then burned his body. Nelson however, has admitted to discarding the boy's body, but does not admit to killing him.
Nelson who has chosen to have state District Judge Jeannine Barr decide her case instead of a jury, could receive automatic life sentence without parole if convicted.
