Hi Can you build a custom e-commerce website?
If so please e-mail me at email@example.com
I'm very serious, visit www.noblepack.com, were re-doing the site, i'm in charge of the project, let me know.
Hi guys,
Bought and really liked this template. But need some adjusts on it, as per listed in the e-mail just sent to you at email@example.com. Please take a look and reply me asap.
Thanks and congrats for this great template!
Hi, Not sure if you can answer all these things. I am working on a digital download site. We are going to be selling digital products. (ie. video, photo, graphic downloads) I'm not sure if your theme and Magento is the way to go so I thought I'd ask.
Here's what I want to accomplish with the site. Home page with latest digital product Product page with categories Category pages with product listing (ability to add to cart from this level) Product detail pages with more info / video preview and add to cart 'Normal' about us, contact us pages…
Here's the real meat of the question: I would like to have a user account section. New users register an account upon first purchase or would like to contribute digital content for sale. Contributors would have a portfolio page. They can view purchase/sales history. We gather their email addresses to send newsletters/promotions. They can view their forum posts etc… from the account page.
I have been considering several option, I would like a complete integrated solution for this.
Thank you very much for any insight you can provide.
This theme in Magento can be a good basis for your platform. You can download add-ons for the contributors section. If there is no add-on for your needs we can also custom build it for you.
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you want a quote for that.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam

Hi, Do you support mutliple color swatches per product, i.e. a product that comes in 13 colors will be displayed with colr swatches and clicking a color shall result in displaying the images related to that specific color.
Or do you support this extension to do so: http://cjmstore.magenting.com/magento-extensions/pre-select-colors-plus-swatches.html
thanks, -tim
Yes, that extension is supported. You can use it in this Crisp and Clean magento theme.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam
I am interested in purchasing this theme. Is it a simple job to change the main multiple image slideshow to a single image slideshow on the home page? Could the product details on the single product page be replaced with an accordion slider to allow more details to be included within the same space?
Yes, that is possible. This will require some coding from your side and some php experience. Then it is quite easy to do.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam
Thank you, is this work that you can do? Is it possible to have the compare list accessible without an account? Does MagicZoom or MagicZoom Plus work with this?
Yes, we can do that. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for that. MagicZoom can be used in the theme. The compare feature is only accessible when logged in.
Let us know when you have any other questions.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam
Is there some estimated date to release a stable template version after Magento 1.7 stable was released ? If a buy your template now, Will I receive a free update to 1.7 stable version ?
We will release the new 1.7 version soon after it will be available on magentocommerce.com. You will receive a free update that you can download here on Themeforest.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam
They claim that the theme is compatible with IE 8 +9 but checkout page does not correctly output additional items when added to the cart. Test this in IE 8 or 9 on their demo and you will see that additional products show up in sidebar widget and My Cart pop-up, but not on actual checkout page.
We are fixing this now and will upload the update here shortly.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam
With shortly we mean within a few days.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam
The fixes you sent completely break this theme for IE!!!!!
Currently, on the demo, if you are in IE8 and not logged into the frontend, you cannot add products to the cart. You can also not get to the user dashboard if you are trying to log into the frontend from IE.
Is there an update on this?
Hi there, Since this theme uses JQuery, could we use other Jquery plugins? In other words, is it using "No Conflict"?
Yes, that is possible.
Let us know when you have any other questions.
Best regards, GoThemeTeam
Hello. I am having trouble making an override css file.
I have added it last to head.php and first to one of the column.phtml files. I've also tried using @import in your css files. These methods work, but only for additional css declarations. If I try and redeclare something it gets overwritten by your css.
For the life of me I can't figure out where or how to put my own css so it will come after yours. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hamas fighters testing a Gaza-made M-75 long-range missile, November 2013 / Getty Images
Maariv's Eli Bardenstein offered a stunningly clear and disturbing report (in Hebrew, my translation below) on Friday that illustrates the vexing complications introduced into the triangular Jerusalem-Cairo-Gaza relationship by political turmoil in all three places. It makes a very useful companion piece to today's front-page New York Times report by Jodi Rudoren on Israeli jitters over instability on its eastern front.
In both cases, as Bardenstein notes and Rudoren sort of hints, the Netanyahu government is ignoring the intelligence supplied by its own security establishment, which shows jihadi organizations making life difficult for both Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south. The jihadis are creating turmoil, launching pinprick attacks on Israel that violate cease-fire agreements between Israel and Hezbollah and Hamas respectively. Hamas and Hezbollah are both besieged — Hamas by the new, anti-Islamist Egyptian military government, Hezbollah by jihadi spillover from the Syrian civil war (as well as political blowback from the Rafiq Hariri murder trial now underway in The Hague) — and are finding it increasingly difficult to enforce their respective cease-fires with Israel. Israel — meaning principally defense minister Moshe Yaalon — chooses to ignore the intelligence, blame Hamas and Hezbollah and launch military responses that only further weaken Hamas and Hezbollah and strengthen the jihadis.
I've translated Bardenstein's piece below, but here's the gist: Israel is alarmed at the unraveling of the November 2012 Pillar of Defense cease-fire "understandings" and the increasing rocket fire from Gaza — 17 rockets fired in January alone as of Friday (and more since then). It wants Egypt, which acts as mediator between Israel and Hamas, to pressure Hamas to stop the rocket fire. But Egypt has lost influence over Hamas since the military deposed the Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohamed Morsi last July. The military government's approach is not to work with Hamas as Morsi did but to crack down on it.
Hamas, in turn, complains that the Egyptian crackdown — particularly the mass destruction of smuggling tunnels, which squeezes the Gaza economy — weakens Hamas rule and reduces its ability to control the jihadi organizations that are doing the firing. And both Cairo and Hamas complain that Israel has been making the situation worse by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon's insistence on responding to every single rocket launching, no matter how ineffectual, with aerial bombardment.
The European Union's decision to slap the terrorist label on Hezbollah's military wing, but not on its political wing, has been getting decidedly mixed reviews from Israel and the Jewish community. The American Jewish Committee said it "welcomes" the move as a "significant step forward in recognizing the true nature of Hezbollah," even though AJC shares the U.S.-Canadian-Dutch view that Hezbollah is actually "a single organization."
On the other hand, the Anti-Defamation League called it "a positive political statement, but a flawed counter-terrorism strategy," since it "missed" the "high-value counter-terrorism target" of Hezbollah financing. B'nai Brith Canada went even further, saying the EU move gives "false legitimacy to Hezbollah's supposedly non-violent wings," which will "weaken international efforts to combat terror," strengthen Iran and "cost more innocent lives."
Yori Yanover wrote in the Jewish Press, citing a Reuters report, that the double-identity idea, "like most of the fun things coming out of the EU, is the brainchild of its foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton."
Awkwardly enough, it now appears that differentiating the military and political wings for separate treatment was actually proposed to the EU by Israel's negotiators. So reports Eli Bardenstein, the usually well-informed diplomatic correspondent of the right-leaning Israeli daily Maariv, in a detailed backgrounder (in Hebrew) on the Israeli campaign to secure the European ban. Launched by then-foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman, the year-long campaign was the work of a task force that was led by the Foreign Ministry and included Israel's National Security Council and main intelligence agencies. The split-identity proposal, Bardenstein writes, was devised as a way to ease France's fears of losing influence in Lebanon's byzantine politics, which it feared would strengthen Hezbollah and reinforce Syria's Assad regime.
The S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace published an English-language summary (PDF) of Bardenstein's analysis. Here are the main points:
Now that the White House has officially acknowledged the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons, the question is no longer whether we get involved in the Syrian civil war, but how. This represents a victory for the smallish, outspoken group of liberal interventionists who have been arguing for an American military role, while trying to shake off the stigma of their de facto alliance with neoconservatives a decade ago in supporting President Bush's war in Iraq. President Obama's nomination last week of Susan Rice as National Security Adviser and Samantha Power as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations seemed to signal that we'd be moving in this direction, given their records as liberal interventionists, but nobody expected it to happen so fast.
Liberal interventionists have been insisting for months that, as The New York Times' Bill Keller and The Washington Post's Richard Cohen argued recently, memories of Iraq shouldn't deter America from acting in Syria, because they're not the same thing. The scale of humanitarian disaster in Syria is genuine, immediate and overwhelming. On the contrary, the proper precedents are the shameful tragedies of our delayed intervention in Bosnia, as The New Republic's Leon Wieseltier maintains, and our abject failure to act in Rwanda, as Princeton University political scientist (and former Obama State Department aide) Anne-Marie Slaughter forcefully insists. Indeed, the Brookings Institution's Michael O'Hanlon writes that the lesson for Syria from the Bosnia experience is what went right after we did intervene.
Conservative interventionists like Elliott Abrams and, well, a host of others have been calling for months for action in Syria as a way to weaken Iran and Hezbollah. Hebrew University Middle East scholar [Moshe Maoz], perhaps Israel's most respected Syria watcher — and an outspoken dove on the Palestinian issue—makes both arguments in a new op-ed essay in Haaretz: that the humanitarian disaster and the growing prospect of an Assad-Hezbollah-Iran victory in the civil war should stir Washington and NATO to a firm, Bosnia-style intervention. Israel has everything to gain from such an intervention, he writes, and while it can't be part of the action, it can and "must use its good ties with the U.S. to persuade it to give strategic military support to the rebels in Syria." As for fears that a rebel victory would install a jihadist or Al Qaeda-style regime in Damascus, he writes:
This is the first bit or reporting I've seen on the strategic implications for Israel of all the popular ferment in the Middle East. By Crispian Balmer of Reuters Jerusalem bureau, Analysis: Bad neighborhood risks getting worse for Israel:
Political turmoil in Lebanon has strengthened Israel's Iranian-backed enemy Hezbollah, while a leak of hundreds of sensitive documents has dented the leadership of its frustrated peace partner, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
Attention has now swung down to the south, where its longest-standing Arab ally, Egypt, has been jolted by nationwide anti-government protests.
While the upheaval in Lebanon has caused concern, the fear of serious strife in Egypt has set alarm bells ringing.
The piece quotes former Barak diplomatic aide Gidi Grinstein, now head of the Reut Institute, warning that the prospect of regime change in Egypt is the most serious strategic threat. Pundits are speaking of an emerging democratic-populist-Muslim Brotherhood coalition challenging Mubarak in a coherent way.
Balmer continues:
Progressive Zionists rightly insist on the right to declare one's love for Israel and still point out when Israel is in the wrong and the other side has a legitimate case. The trouble is that one neglects to take note from time to time (to time to time to time, actually) when Israel is in the right and the other side is ridiculously, outrageously in the wrong.
Case in point: the incident on the Israeli-Lebanese border earlier this week, when Lebanese Army soldiers shot and killed an Israel lieutenant colonel who was overseeing maintenance work on the border fence that Israel maintains on the Israeli side of of the border. Barry Rubin, the director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, trained a sharp eye on Western media coverage of the incident. Two points stand out in relief: first, the inherent vulnerability of the standard he-said/she-said style of objective reporting in the face of systematic mendacity; and second, the tendency in Middle East moments of doubt (which is most moments) to assume that Israel is the bad guy because–well, just because.
Here's Barry (the embedded links are his):
Today's Example of Ridiculous Media Bias Against Israel
Along Israel's border with Lebanon, east of Metulla, some bushes were pushing in on the border fence. The fence is set in slightly from the border precisely so that Israeli soldiers can work on it. The IDF called UNIFIL and informed the UN that this work was going to be done today so that they could tell the Lebanese army that there was no aggression going on but just routine maintenance. Soldiers from UNIFIL came to observe and can be seen standing next to Israeli soldiers in the photos. Photographers were also standing by to film the operation.
But Lebanese soldiers opened fire on the Israelis who were working and in no way acting aggressively. The fact that journalists were standing next to the Lebanese soldiers shows that they knew Israel was going to do this maintenance and were observing. After the Israeli soldiers were ambushed, they returned fire. One Israeli officer was killed, another seriously wounded; three Lebanese soldiers, and a Lebanese (?) journalist were killed.
So how did Reuters and Yahoo report this? By saying that Israeli soldiers had crossed into Lebanon and been fired on, thus implying the Lebanese army was acting in self-defense! Other news agencies merely reported: Israel says the soldiers were inside Israel; Lebanon says they were on Lebanese territory.
The biggest thing that's missing in most coverage is the background to the incident.

Politico: The next big thing in campaignsMidterm elections are less than three months away, but there's already a clear winner in 2014: digital advertising. A leading ad research firm recently estimated that more than $270 million will be spent across the country this cycle on digital campaign efforts — an 1,825 percent increase from 2010, when the first generation of tablet computers was just hitting the market. And just wait until 2016, when online political spending could top almost $1 billion and for the first time surpass newspapers, direct mail and telemarketing. Digital spending will still lag a long way behind TV, but it's creeping closer to cable and radio budgets.
Campaigns & Elections: Is Twitter ruining young press operatives?In the rush to develop a strong social media presence, too many young operatives have lost sight of what actually moves persuadable voters. Inside a campaign war room on a recent primary election night a young press operative announced in a town crier's voice: "This is blowing up on Twitter right now." I actually wasn't really there, but I'm willing to bet anything that it was a scene played out in many, if not all, of the campaign headquarters staffed with bright young flacks this cycle. How can I be so certain? There have been countless times over the last couple of years when an email pops up on my phone from a campaign communications operative imploring me that immediate action must be taken because of a tweet from a staffer on an opposing campaign.
Mashable: Seeing More Politics in Your News Feed? Facebook Boosts Partisan SitesFacebook has helped catapult sites like BuzzFeed and Upworthy into social stardom, boosting the visibility of media content on the News Feeds of millions of users and generating a deluge of traffic. But in this rising tide, some publishers have seen a particular lift: political sites on both the left and right. As digital-native publishers have soared, media sites with a political bent are outpacing some viral competitors while picking up a few of their tricks along the way. Sites like Business Insider helped pioneer social media strategies, but outlets ranging from Glenn Beck's The Blaze to 38-year-old Mother Jones have been fast learners.
K Street Cafe: 3 Common Email Marketing Pitfalls & How to Avoid ThemFamously referenced as the 'cockroach of the Internet' in David Carr's recent New York Times piece, email newsletters are here to stay. In fact, despite the proliferation of social media and sophisticated news applications, e-newsletters are actually taking off at an unprecedented rate: >"Newsletters are clicking because readers have grown tired of the endless stream of information on the Internet, and having something finite and recognizable show up in your inbox can impose order on all that chaos," wrote Carr. "At a time when lots of news and information is whizzing by online, email newsletters — some free, some not — help us figure out what's worth paying attention to." Upon reading Carr's piece in the Times, the marketing professionals I know had one of two reactions: they were either jumping for joy or heaving a deep sigh of exasperation. It can be tough to navigate best practices, especially when the suggestions are vague and/or contradictory (e.g. use images, but not too many images). That said, some email marketing mistakes are largely avoidable, if the right actions are taken.
epolitics: What Political Tools & Technology CAN'T DoHere's a great reminder from a tweetchat hosted by the National Democratic Institute's political parties team today: political technology can help a campaign or an organization do a lot, but it's not magic. If you don't have the right candidate or the right ideas, no amount of technological savvy can save you. The tools amplify traditional political strengths, not replace them! For one example, think about data-driven grassroots organizing, which was key to Obama's 2008 and 2012 victories as well as other political success stories from Terry McAuliffe to Thad Cochran. But when I talk with veteran field staff, they'll often say that even the best grassroots outreach is good for maybe 3% at the polls. If your candidate is close, 3% will put you over the top. But if you're down by 20 points, even the most sophisticated voter outreach driven by the best data modeling imaginable won't win the day.
Mail Chimp Blog: A Purchased List is a Dead ListAs a permission-based email service provider, MailChimp doesn't allow users to send to purchased, rented, scraped, or stolen lists of email addresses. Why? Well, much like Lloyd Dobbler, we don't want to process anything sold or bought. It's annoying to the humans on the other end of those purchased lists who haven't asked to be part of your marketing. And above all, it's illegal. But here's another reason to stay away from purchased lists: They're as good as dead. When you send to one, it's crickets out there. Let's go to the historical training data from Omnivore, MailChimp's anti-abuse system.
Campaigns & Elections: Hacking the political mindPeople aren't simple, and neither is politics. So why do so many professionals believe simple methods can resolve political questions about a massively complex muddle of voters, candidates, issues and emotions? Understanding what actually causes a change in the big, buzzing confusion of human society and individual minds is tricky. Correlations and observational data can point us in promising directions, but they can't answer the most important question: Does a certain message or tactic work? For that, we need apply the most fundamental scientific research tool: randomized controlled experiments. Even medical science often gets this wrong. Studies of observational data find a correlation between being treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and lower rates of coronary heart disease (CHD). Many doctors and patients drew the conclusion that HRT caused better health. But recent randomized-controlled experiments suggest the therapy is at best ineffective and at worst harmful; the apparent impact was due to healthier lifestyles overall, not the drug.
The Campaign Workshop: Hiring a Political Consulting FirmWe have all sat across the table from a potential employer during which we highlight our most marketable qualities to land a job, but not everyone has been on the other side of that table, actually doing the hiring. Here are a few things that will help you start the process of hiring a political consulting firm. They are meant to help you navigate and simplify what may seem like an overwhelming and complicated task. First, you're going to want to map out (as much as possible) what it is you're looking to hire a political consulting firm for: * Do you need a firm for strictly direct mail, or TV production? Alternatively, do you need a firm that does both? Or, do you require a firm that specializes in a particular issue area? * Will this be a local, state or national campaign? * What is your overall budget? How much can you afford to spend on each aspect of the campaign or program?
epolitics: What's a Welcome Email Worth?There's been a really healthy, if vociferous, argument going around over whether or not to send a 'welcome series' of emails to new supporters on your email list. The concept is probably familiar: you send a pre-written package of emails over a few days or weeks to ease new people to your non-profit or political campaign onto your list. The pro and con go something like this: PRO: By easing people onto the list and introducing them to our ladder of engagement, they are more likely to open, click, and donate later on. Good cultivation makes for better members. CON: Other than checking for dead or spam-bot emails on your list, all a welcome series does is feed outdated content to members who otherwise have the highest-probability of being really active, engaged and excited. Why waste people's initial enthusiasm with emails that aren't about your hottest campaigns? Well I LIKE a welcome series – dagnabbit. I'm old fashioned that way. But I was nervous about the impact on email deliverability. As I've chronicled elsewhere about email deliverability for non-profits and campaigns, there's a real cost to emailing inactive members. And if all the welcome series was doing was turning people off or depressing the open and click rate, I didn't want any part of it. So, I set out to prove what a successful non-profit email welcome series is worth. What I found was surprising.
Campaigns & Elections: Debunking 3 myths preventing campaigns from embracing digital adsFollowing the 2012 election, "big data and digital" was the post mortem no one could avoid. Pundits and strategists still refer to the ability of Obama's digital team to outmaneuver the GOP and win the election. According to Business Insider, digital comprised 8 percent of the Obama's campaign's media mix. On its face, it seems like a decent portion of the budget, until you consider that consumer brand advertisers spend an average of 25 percent of their budgets on digital. Since digital was a proven winner in both of President Obama's victories, what's holding political campaigns back from increasing budget allocation to be more in line with consumer advertisers? Political strategists spend their careers finding the perfect balance of TV, direct mail and grassroots efforts to get their candidates elected. They aren't paid to experiment. And despite its success, digital is sometimes still viewed as somewhat experimental. From my perspective, there are three main reasons why political campaigns stick with the status quo. Let's debunk them. Myth #1 - Brands need big data. We have voter files. First, let's look at what's in the voter file. It's a list of registered voters in an area, their address, birthdates, party affiliation (if it's a party registration state), and voting history. Assuming you know how they voted (and that's a big assumption), you don't know how they will vote next time.
Constant Contact Blog: 7 Design Mistakes That Make Readers Trash Your EmailsIt's heartbreaking to think that people are making snap judgements about whether or not to read your emails based on a quick glance. But they are. You are, too! Here's how we all sort through our inboxes: 1. We choose an email message 2. We give it a two-second glance 3. We decide if it's worth our time 4. If it is, we keep it and read it 5. If it's not, we hit the delete key, and send the email to the trash How can you keep your email out of the trash? The secret is good design. In those first two seconds, that's all your reader sees. Let's take a look at seven common design mistakes that get emails trashed, and I'll offer more than seven solutions to help your next email get read.
The Campaign Workshop: A Quick Guide to Hiring Political ConsultantsWhen it comes to political consultants, Forrest Gump was wrong! Turns out, political consultants are not like a box of chocolates, because when you hire your team, you should have a pretty good sense of what you're getting. It may be that your political consultant comes with a little less raspberry filling than you'd expected, but you shouldn't all of a sudden discover that there's a coconut filling (or that they're just plain nuts). Here are a few quick, commonsense tips to make sure any surprises are minimal.
Frogloop: 5 Ways To Make Your Donors Feel Like HeroesInstead of treating our donors like ATM machines, we need to make them feel like heroes to our movement. Here are five ways to make your donors feel totally valued. 1. Connect their donation (even if it's $5) to measurable impact. For example, tell them how their $5 went to purchase vaccines or a pizza pie for 5 volunteers who were canvassing around a campaign in your neighborhood. 2. Thank your donors. Don't just send them an automated email. Send them a heartfelt thank you note. For example, do you have donors who have donated $25 to your organization every month for the last five years? Great, send them a handwritten note, signed by some of the staff expressing your sincere gratitude. These types of donors are the lifelines of your nonprofit.
Campaigns & Elections: It's TV + Online, Not TV vs. OnlineWe're agnostic. Not in the religious sense, but in advertising. We don't care what medium gets the eyeballs of voters as long as it gets them. Hell, it could be a plane carrying banners or trailing smoke signals, or even an electronic blimp. If those could get votes, we'd be for them. So as we hear various versions of the following comments: "This is the year of online, digital and mobile" or "TV is losing viewers in droves" or "TV spending is dropping faster than (insert bad political metaphor of your choice)," we remain skeptical. Why? The reality is that, so far, those predictions have not come true, and we believe they are not going to any time in the near future.
Campaigns & Elections: Data-driven politicsLet's think more deeply about where data-driven politics is really catching on: Targeting and field. Not coincidentally, both areas are already havens for data nerds. Direct mail mavens have been using voter files and consumer databases to target messaging and fundraising appeals for decades and data-targeting online ads is a natural extension of that mindset and skillset. Likewise with grassroots, since field organizers are consumed by numbers related to canvassing and its results. Walk-lists, after all, come from a database, and voter contacts yield plenty of information ripe for tabulation and analysis.
The Campaign Workshop: Do I really need a political consulting firm?A political consulting firm is not something every campaign and/or advocacy group can afford but many can. While political consultants provide some services you may be able to replace yourself at a low level, the reality is that many services cannot be performed on your own at the requisite professional level. The real question to ask yourself is what kind of help do you need, and can a political consulting firm provide those services within your budget? The answer to that question simply depends.
e.politics: Digital Politics: What's Changed Since 2010?What's Changed: In 2010, MySpace still mattered, apparently, because I mentioned it a lot more than I remembered. Obama HAD used it extensively in 2008, so perhaps it still seemed relevant at the time…though it was clearly on a downward slide. In practice, social-network marketing in 2010 turned out to be all about Facebook, despite some hype around FourSquare and other location-based apps. Those were innocent times: the great Facebook content algorithm traffic drought was years away…. Twitter was still optional, and Twitter advertising was nonexistent. Twitter hype was running full-on, I recall, but at least at the start of the year, diving into that particular social space still wasn't a must-do for your average campaign for mayor or state legislature. The 2014 book has a long section on Twitter tactics and a sizable one on Twitter advertising, by contrast. Online advertising was focused on Google. We'd already seen some use of Facebook ads by campaigns, but it was still a new thing for most. Banner ads had been around for years, but they suffered from the lack of the targeting options that now let campaigns hit individual voters with relevant messages. Back then, display advertising was a more scattershot affair from a political point of view, unless you were advertising on a network like Yahoo or AOL that had demographic data on its members. Many political people saw banner ads' low response numbers and wrote the channel off entirely.
FrogLoop: Why Email Still Rules!Social media strategists (ok, not all) love to discount email in favor of, you guessed it - social media. They have deemed email a dying communications channel, which is absurd. Email lists and email marketing continue to grow, especially for the nonprofit sector where list size grew at least 14% in 2013, according to the 2014 eNonprofit Benchmark study. Here's just a few reasons why email still rules: People who take action on advocacy campaigns via email are 7x more likely to donate money to your organization. You have the most control of how you engage your audience. For example, who sees and responds to your message is not based on some proprietary social network's secret algorithms and you are not forced to pay a premium to target segments.
e.politics: Facebook Content Strategy for Politics & AdvocacyUnfortunately, you can't just hop on Facebook and Twitter and expect people to come flooding to read your feed. One common mistake: to treat Facebook and Twitter as just another set of broadcast channels. Of course, you CAN just post your content and sit back to watch the results, but you're likely to see a more robust response if you actually interact with people when you can. But going back and forth with people takes time! Which is one reason that campaigns tend to focus on the big venues like Facebook and Twitter and ignore the plethora of smaller networks unless they meet a particular need (for instance, connecting with an ethnic- or interest-based community). Of course, many campaigns will play in spaces like Instagram and Pinterest (each of which has political uses, as you'll see if you click those links), but they'll usually be posting content there that they were already planning to put on Facebook (recycling is a virtue!). As in every other area we talk about in this book, each tool has an opportunity cost: spread yourself too thin by building profiles on too many social sites and you won't use ANY of them well. So in this chapter, we'll focus on the big players: Facebook and Twitter.

The clash of justice, Kartel and Kern
IF the law, which is oftentimes said to be an ass, that is, it is immersed in the same aura of wisdom as that found in the bray of a donkey, then certainly its first cousin, justice must be comedy hour at an after-dinner uptown joint.
I say this in respect of the Kern Spencer trial where it took the nation over five years to determine that what was thought to be one of the most serious charges alleging corruption against a government minister was after all, really nothing at all.
On Monday, the court ruled on the submissions of the defence lawyers, that there was no case to answer. It didn't take five weeks or five months, which, had the law been the think-talk of the people, would have made sense, even if we had violently disagreed with the finding, but over five years.
One cannot help but feel that those among us who wanted to see the young politician made an example of, and those who always were sure he was as clean as a whistle have been given a raw deal in that those were five wasted years. What really was the purpose of those five years?
Were they five years of squandered time to those whose hopes for a conviction have been dashed, or five years of terribly trying times for those who suffered during the time they were supporting Spencer's innocence? Spencer, whom I have never met, must have aged 10 years in the last five.
If we accept that the infernal sins of Vybz Kartel were fought against, met and conquered by the might of the State and its right to place him in a cage for the rest of his viable adult life, so too must we accept that Kern Spencer, whom we may not have liked, must be given that right to escape any time in a State-sponsored cage.
The courts have spoken and justice, which was never meant to exist on the same plane as simple logic, has made its declaration.
To the man at street level, the law and that which spills from the halls of justice are like the draw of a lottery. The little man only dreams of a win. To the over-educated and those trying hard to touch the rarefied air of intelligence, justice is like a nebula, the result from afar, of a cosmic explosion. Here, there is light, over there is darkness, and at some point everything may collapse onto itself and become a black hole of nothingness.
Simple equations, like truth plus strong belief in it equal justice, are usually made irrelevant by compound formulae which may at times introduce functions that our quaint and unsophisticated minds will never quite comprehend. It could be that to apply common sense to the process of accusation and the respective strengths of the evidence placed forward by defence and prosecution during courtroom trials is to live in the hazardous world of the fool.
While I cannot comment on what I may have thought were hard facts in favour of or against the innocence of Spencer, what I have known since 1993 — when I began writing newspaper columns -- is that, many times, much that is publicly bandied about is usually caught up in mirages and, in many instances, good guys are buried. The same holds true especially for the flip side of the coin, where transgressors can, through long and complex processes, be made into finely burnished heroes.
Justice spins on such a wide wheel of perception that its stock definition of righting wrongs means little to the ordinary Jamaican. Let us examine some wild possibilities.
Justice is like introducing advanced mathematics to a junkie in New Kingston, when what he really wants is something to fill his crack pipe. Justice is as valid and scientifically sound as praying the gay away. Justice occupies the same realm as Satan convincing the PNP that there is redemption in the JLP, while preaching to the JLP that salvation is ringing out loud in the PNP.
Justice is like a college professor falling in love with a confirmed prostitute, marrying her, and not expecting that the psychiatric couch will be his next best friend, right through his next three divorces over the next 20 years. As much as justice is expecting Usain Bolt to win his next race, it also exists on the other side where we are likely to see Bolt losing a race in the next prep school champs against 10-year-old schoolgirls.
Justice is like a 13-year-old girl being cornered and telling her mother, "Mommy, I am only a little bit pregnant". Justice is also as stupid as the mother buying into the fraction of a pregnancy.
Justice is investing in the hope that explosive batsman Chris Gayle will learn to use his feet while batting. Justice is little more than the fool's wish that the West Indies will retain the World T20 trophy in 2014.
As the Kartel case began to wind down, it was my belief that sufficient doubt had been planted in the minds of the jurors, via police incompetence, and that he would have escaped conviction on those considerations. I was wrong.
In the Kern Spencer trial, I always believed, as it dragged on, that he would have been freed of the charges and those reasons centred on the very same ones that reverberated among the people at street level. I was right.
In both cases high-powered teams of lawyers were employed, but only in one of the cases should we expect that the good wine will be had, or more than one case of the fine stuff will be broken out. Ah, it can be a good life for some, even in the worst of times for many.
The celebration of the prosecution over the Kartel decision must now be tempered by what, in the Kern Spencer decision, amounts to the best use of time for the defence and the worst use of it for those in the DPP's office. To us, mere mortals, time is the ultimate dimension and cannot really be wasted — only used and abused.
In a funny book I read over 30 years ago, there was a story about a Rastafarian brought before the court for theft of goods. In the past, the dread had stolen and not been caught, and at other times he was convicted for things he had absolutely no knowledge of. Over time the man simply accepted that the world and the machinery of justice were way over his head and much too difficult for him to figure out.
On that day in court the judge asked him, "Guilty or not guilty?"
The dread looked up at the judge and said to him, "Your honour, is dat I come here fi find out".
To many of us who are not privy to the inner workings of that imagined inner sanctum, the perception of justice at street level is that it is nothing more than a public throw of special dice from a very private place.

Fasting could affect Muslim stars during World Cup
Muslim footballers could be affected by a month of Ramadan fasting during the World Cup in Brazil.
For the first time since 1986, the Muslim holy month falls on the first day of the second round matches on June 28th.
During the 30 days of Ramadan, Muslims have to go without food or drink for around 19 hours a day.
The fall of Ramadan could affect Muslim stars like Yaya and Kolo Toure from the Ivory Coast, Germany's Mesut Ozil and Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Edin Dzeko.
Some Muslim players have got permission to eat and drink during Ramadan but some, like Kolo Toure, are reportedly going to fast during the World Cup.

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.
Aug 01, 2003
As of July 1, AOL has discontinued its InfoGate services including paid subscription newsfeeds from CNN and USA Today. Infogate is the company that powers the subscription push-style streamed content from sources including the LATimes, CNN, and USAToday. AOL has begun running beta tests of a new push-service to subscribers. Members of AOL can sign up for the trial at AOL keyword ACBeta. AOL quietly purchased InfoGate (formerly Pointcast) back in March. It has been reported that most of the staff did not make the transition to AOL, but Paul Love and approximately 20 staff members on the technology side have remained on-board.

|My Dear Son
|Quincy Sep'br. 15 1795
I am ashaned to say how long it is since I last wrote to you. I have received your Letters to No 6. I believe only one, viz that from England has been lost. So valuable are your Letters that I regret the loss of a Line.
Freeman as you fear, will not be heard of again, untill the Sea gives up its dead. to his parents he is a loss that never can be made up. they are disconsolate and almost refuse to be comforted. to his friends and acquaintance he had greatly endeard himself, by his amiable manners and his engageing Deportment. the House of Vance & Freeman have been peculiarly unfortunate. Since his absence, a valuable vessel & cargo have been captured, belonging to them, and it is said here that Mr. Freemans affairs were much embarrassd.
I have felt a reluctance at taking my pen to write you ever since the meeting of the Senate in June, to relate the dishonour and the disgrace of any portion of our Countrymen is a painfull task. No event since the commencement of the Government, has excited so much undue heat, so much bitter Acrimony, so much base invective, as has been pourd forth against Mr. Jay and the Treaty. one of the most mortifying circumstances, is to see some worthy and respectable Characters drawn into the vortex and made the dupes of Jacobine leaders, &c. T[. . .]h Emisaries.
Your Letter to your Father No 9 is a clue to the whole buisness. it Develops the dark and secret designs of those agents of mischief. the contents of that Letter were so important at the period, when it arrived that Your Father immediatly inclosed it to the president, who returnd it with the following passage.
"Mr J Q Adams Your Son must not think of retiring from the Work he is now in. his prospects if he continues in it are fair and I shall be much mistaken if in as short a period as can be expected, he is not found at the head of the Diplomatique Corps—let the Government be administerd by whom so ever the people may chuse his Letter No 9 discloses much important information and political foresight" For this proof of your kindness & confidence I pray you to accept my most cordial thanks"
Many have been the voilent publications against the Treaty. the Train was so concerted that a mutilated part of the Treaty, Said to be taken from memory–appeard in the Boston papers. This was sufficient to exasperate candid & good men. No sooner was this accomplishd, than Benny was sent on to Boston with Masons Coppy, so that the first remonstrance was drawn up in Boston, and as Peter Pocupine observes, in such haste were the Citizens of that Town, to get the Start of other places that the first copy of the Treaty had not been arrived in Town 24 hours, before a Town meeting was convened to condemn it. at this meeting a motion was made to read the Treaty, at least before they remonstrated against it, but this motion was not even seconded. Jarvis was the Demagogue, and orator. They had an unanimous vote, few persons of Character chusing to remain at a meeting where hissing and Noise and clamour excluded reason and argument. N York, was not much behind Boston in point of Time, and in other respects far out striped them. as Stones and Bricks Bats were substituted in the room of Hisses. Smith was their Chairman. A proposition was made for adjourning to a more convenient place for a fair and full discussion, but this was opposed with much clamour, there were a great majority of the Merchants Traders and people of property both in Boston and N York in favour of the Treaty, as soon as time was given them to examine & judge for themselves. this will appear by the Names of the Protestors, but the House was lighted up, and it spread from capital to capital, damning cursing the Treaty, Mr. Jay Senators even President. the President by a wise and cool and judicious reply to the Boston Committe, appeard to allay the Ferment for a Time. Several Learned and able pens have been engaged to vindicate the Treaty & enlighten the people. Camillus said to be Col H a Curtius said to be Mr Th g in N York have satisfied every reasonable Man, and a writer in Boston under the Signature of a Feaderilist has written very sensibly & cooly. Some pamphlets have appeard one written in carolina by Mr Smith but none which I have read please me more than Peter Porcupine, written by the Author of a Bone for the Democrats. these pamphlets as well as news papers I will collect and forward to you by the first direct conveyance to England, for there do I expect to hear of you Soon it is of importance that you Should receive all the intelligence possible upon the Subject. my Letter must swell to a volm to contain all that has been written for & against the Treaty. I should however observe to You that no commotion or meeting has taken place in any of our Country Towns in N England. Dracut the famous Dracut excepted, & that the State of Connecticut has been as usual, wise steady and discreat. their Wits have however been active and the Echo will repeat to You many Solid truths.
You are calld upon to take a part in this important Buisness. You have put your hand to the plough, and I know you too well to believe or even wish you to look Back; or shrink from your duty however arduous or dangerous the task assignd you You will prove yourself the Genuine Scion of the Stock from whence you sprang. "Yet with Milton you may say, you are thrown on perilious Times.
My petition to Heaven for you is, that in the Hands of an over Ruling Providence You may be instrumental of much good to your country and that your Life and Health may be preserved a blessing to Your Parents and a comfort to their declining Years. This and no other is the ambition of your ever affectionate Mother

imperial stout explosion . . .
I brewed an imperial stout on Friday and it got a good head of foam on it just from dumping it into the bucket (thick stuff). I pitched the yeast and then sometime in the night on Saturday night the krausen managed to plug up my 3-piece airlock and the pressure built up to the point that it blew. I would have thought that maybe just a small section of the lid would have come loose to relieve the pressure but the lid was 3 or 4 feet away from the bucket and there was beer on the ceiling and walls. I was pretty shocked. Anyway, I spooned out some of the foam from the top in an attempt to remove any contaminants that may have fallen in from the air while the lid was off, put the lid back on, and put in a new airlock. A few hours later that one started filling up with crap too! So I just took it off and inserted a chunk of siphon tubing to use for a blow-off. Anything I might be overlooking that could have caused this? Or is this normal behavior for big beers?
That's definitely normal behavior for a big beer, especially if you use a good yeast starter. The top blowing off at that stage ísn't much of a contamination problem. Since your beer is blowing enough carbon dioxide off the surface to pop the top, not much is going to be able to settle in the headspace, let alone into the beer.
Not normal at all, but that's what happens when you do everything correctly. A fast start on a big beer is a good thing.
Russian Imperial Stouts are notorious for doing that. Sounds like you delt with it fine. Big beers start in the bathtub.
Next time I brew this beer, does anyone think there'd be a problem with topping off short - to 4 gallons instead of 5 for example - to allow extra space for the krausen and then making up the difference when I transfer to secondary?
Yikes! Glad I prepared a blowoff tube system for my Imperial IPA!
I vote 6.5 gallon carboy for primary with a good blow off tube... glass is MUCH better than plastic IMO
ahhhh, finally. I have been searching for an answer. Though I didn't have an explosion while brewing (it was def doing a big beer thing in there, though!) I have jsut opened a resealable bottle and the foam just POURED out. I quickly got a glass and poured out some of the beer, but it continued to foam out the top o the bottle and the glass was 3/4 foam. Second glass managed to contian it all. It tastes really good, but took several minutes for the foam to reduce.
What did I do wrong, if anything? I used a kit, Brewers Best, Irish stout, and followed my local shops directions for upping the ante to Imperial status--3# dark malt and an extra pound of Caramel 60l plus I upped the roasted barley and the Black patent as they suggested.

Paddington - the beloved, classic bear from Darkest Peru - is back in this fantastically funny, brand new, illustrated novel from master storyteller Michael Bond! "My legs are a bit short for the pole vault!" repeated Paddington hotly. "But they've always been that way." Somehow Paddington Bear always manages to find himself in unusual situations. So it is no surprise when he gets into a spot of bother with some shaving cream, causes a London bus to be evacuated, and is mistaken for a famous Peruvian hurdler by a film crew. There's never a dull moment when a certain bear is around! Paddington Bear has been delighting adults and children alike with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures for over fifty years.
