DENVER -- Starting with Brewers southpaw Manny Parra on Friday, the Rockies are likely to face left-handed starters in four of their next six contests.
After beating Twins left-hander Francisco Liriano on Thursday in Minneapolis, Colorado will see two lefties against Milwaukee (Parra and Randy Wolf) and two against Boston next week (Jon Lester and Felix Doubront).
"We're going to get our fair share of them," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.
The Rockies are 11-9 against left-handed starters this year, including wins in the past three games in which they've faced a lefty starter.
Colorado also has seven position players who are batting .250 or better against lefties this year.
Meanwhile, Parra (1-4, 4.04) has an ERA of 7.59 against left-handed hitters, who are batting .408 against him this year.
"We did play on the fact that he's having trouble getting some left-handed hitters out, so we're going to give him so left-handed hitters to try to get out," Tracy said.
Gonzalez could return to lineup on Saturday
DENVER -- Compared to the uphill climb teammate Troy Tulowitzki has to return from injury, Carlos Gonzalez has got it made.
Gonzalez, the Rockies' everyday center fielder, left Thursday's 5-1 win against the Twins with a bruised left knee and was said to be day-to-day.
"It's still sore, and it hurts when I twist my foot when I hit," Gonzalez said. "Tomorrow, I'm going to come here early and see how I feel."
He was not in Friday's starting lineup against the Brewers but manager Jim Tracy said Gonzalez could make his way back into play by Saturday.
Gonzalez, a potential All-Star (.295, 10 homers, 42 RBIs), has provided a serious spark from the top of the lineup this season. On Friday, Ryan Spilborghs replaced him in center field.
"This guy can play any one of the three outfield positions well," Tracy said of Spilborghs. "I do not compromise my players. I will expect Ryan Spilborghs to be Ryan Spilborghs, not Carlos Gonzalez."
Rockies have had success vs. the Brewers
DENVER -- With two of their most productive offensive players missing from the lineup for at least part of the weekend series against the Brewers, the Rockies will be counting on some successful history against Milwaukee in the three-game set.
The Rockies are 29-13 against the Brewers at Coors Field, their best home record against any opponent.
"I'm really excited about this series and hopefully I'll get to play, because I remember I did great last time and hopefully I'll get to do the same thing," said center fielder Carlos Gonzalez, who is nursing a sore left knee but could play Saturday. "It's good to know there's a team coming that you hit really well against."
Colorado has swept six home series against Milwaukee and is 1-2 against the Brewers this year, as the teams met in their first series of the season.
In that three-game series, Gonzalez went 8-for-15 with four runs and two RBIs. First baseman Todd Helton went 5-for-10 and is a .317 career hitter against the Brewers. Ryan Spilborghs, starting in center field Friday, is a career .367 hitter against Milwaukee.
"This is going to have to be a collective effort," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "But it's not something we're unfamiliar with. Collective effort, in my opinion, is what has made us good for a period of time and it's going to have to continue."

Mirrors Mirrors On the Wall
Hopefully absense makes the heart grow fonder. Or is that absinth? Both kinda make sense..
Either way, I am back with a renewed sense of vigor. I have some fun stuff planned and stashed away so hopefully you'lll join me for that journey. Oh and I still have to post about Christmas…and New Years…but that can wait a few more days, right? I mean, it is already the 18th…what's a few more days!
So today we are in the first floor bathroom with an interesting issue…the mirror.
Remember when I repainted this 'bloodfest' and redid the vanity and installed new sconces (that are actually cheap exterior lights) and then found the mirror at Hobby Lobby?
Well, there's something I forgot to mention…and remembered to crop out….all that forehead. Yeah. That's what I call it. The space above the mirror that conveniently got cropped out when I revealed this bathroom the first time around. (oh the beauty of the internet).
Here's a better overview shot of the forehead situation. Yeah. If you squint, you can see that the vanity area is like Christina Ricci…or me. Both of whom have what I affectionately call fiveheads….foreheads so big that they had to be bumped up a nugget.
And the mirror wasn't helping. It was just accentuating the vast expanse above the browline. So I asked Jer to bring it down…and I would start anew.
Forgive all the crazy colors – this room is the black hole in the back with very little space so it's hard to capture…much less white balance.
Then I found an old uber-cheap plastic (YUP – Plastic!) mirror at a thrift store that actually belonged above a dresser (see the wood and bolts used to fasten it to the top of the dresser?).
It was listed at $8 and I got it for half off that day (yeah I must budget for home renos and I only shop when I can get a discount…even at thrift stores). So four bones for my fore head I give that an a-ok.
We figured out through a little trial and error that we could use the existing bolts to fasten picture hanging wire (tripled up). Since the bolts were bent, we couldn't remove them…so Jer went with the whole if-you-can't-beat-em-join-em philosophy. And the wood blocks were attached better to the whole thing than we could attach something new…so in the end it worked.
yeah, our littlest helper was just about to go up for bedtime and gave us the approval to hang the plastic beast after a little quality control checking :)
Also – you can see at the bottom we attached some scrap wood blocks…yeah, hot glued those bad boys right on. We did that because when the mirror was hung up on the hooks, it leaned forward a little too much for our liking and the bottom hit the wall. The blocks were sort of like spacers.
And now for the new bigger mirror that actually fills up the space…
Cuter huh?
Yup…still got a forehead but nothing like the Christian Slater of before. Excuse the dirtiness…just keepin it real.
My favorite part is the little 'cutouts' at the top. It's those kinda details that make a piece really interesting in my book.
Oh and you can see in the reflection that I added a horseshoe to this room above the artwork over the toilet. Maybe that will bring us a little luck in the bedroom if you know what I mean…hubbahubba.
What did I do with the other round mirror? Well, I put it in Will's room over the new storage toy box. Yeah, all that squareness was getting to me so I thought a dark brown mirror would break things up a little.
Oh and people have been asking me the 'theme' of the nursery…yeah…no theme…not really. If I had to pick one, it would be masculine gentlemen boy…with a little refinement and whimsy…and a lot of texture and stuff Will likes…how's that for a theme? Oh and globes. I'm obsessed with globes right now. so throw that in too.
What do you think? Anybody else with forehead issues? Or switching out mirrors mirrors on the wall for the fairest one of them all? Yeah…my new one might not be the fairest and it might have a paint job in it's future…but right now it balances things out. It really is the better scale for the space….and Nate Berkus said I have a great sense of scale….just in case you forgot (wink wink)…and because I walk around muttering that to myself when I should be saying "NO WILL DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PEEPEE" for the 704th time
Alison U. permalinkJanuary 19, 2012
I'm totally obsessed with globes right now, too! Found one in great shape (and $10!) at an Antique Mall in Cartersville (I live in Marietta). I was so excited. My husband doesn't quite understand it, but oh well
January 19, 2012
Oh nice switcheroo! I like that mirror better in that space ( I like big mirrors) I could kick myself, I saw a large mirror like that by a dumpster near a friend's apartment and the hubs didn't want to take it home….I should have just grabbed it anway! I hadn't thought of hanging it in the bathroom!
January 19, 2012
The new mirror definitely fits the scale of the space better. That was a fabulous 4 dollar change.
And when you said excuse the dirtiness, I puzzled for a few minutes over what is dirty about Christian Slater's forehead before I realized you were talking about the mirror.

THANK YOU! For NOT having a theme in Will's room! I'm expecting my first in a few weeks and there are several people who are desperate to find a theme (frogs and monkeys are the two main ones that keep getting pushed) in his room, clothes, bath stuff, etc. The colors coordinate in his room and his bath and little boy clothes have a lot of animals on them! Do I need anything else? Please tell me no (if only because I'm super prego and it's what I want to hear)!
Maureen permalinkJanuary 20, 2012
LOVE the new bigger mirror in the bathroom. And your equestrian prints. And I like the round mirror very much – I have one just like it in my foyer – but I think maybe it needs something on either side of it to balance it out – what do you think? Or maybe it's just a smidge too high? I'm not sure. I think you're right, that it has a home over Will's toybox, but something still feels a bit off. Eh, what do I know? As long as you guys love it, who cares?

How to Record Skype Calls on Mac
Skype is close to being the ideal software for chatting and making video calls. Why only close? It lacks just one really helpful feature - a call recording tool. If you want to save your video conversations on your Mac, you'll need a third party software product. We recommend Movavi Screen Capture - a powerful program that can capture Skype videos on your Mac, complete with audio track, and save them in a format that works for you. Read this step-by-step guide to get some details on how to record Skype on your Mac.
Step 1: Get the Necessary Apps and Devices
First of all, make sure you have the software and hardware you need:
- Movavi Skype Recorder for Mac. If you don't have the software, download and install it.
- The Soundflower program, available at its Google page. Download Soundflower-1.6.6b.dmg if you have Mac OS X 10.6 or later. If you have an older Mac OS X version, click Show all and choose the appropriate version.
- An external webcam with a USB microphone. Connect it to your Mac and move to the next step.
Step 2: Set Soundflower as your Output Device
Open the Apple Menu at the top left corner of your screen and click System Preferences. Hit the Sound button to open the Sound Preferences panel. On this panel, select the Output tab and set Soundflower(2ch) as your output device. Note that, once this option is enabled, you will no longer be able to hear sounds playing on your Mac because the sound output is being sent to Soundflower.
Step 3: Turn on the Sound
To be able to hear the voice of the person you're Skyping with, do the following:
1. Use Finder to locate the Soundflowerbed app and click its icon. You will see it appear in the tray at the top of your screen.
2. Click the icon in the tray and check the Built-in Output option in the Soundflower (2ch) section.
Now the sound will be sent both to Soundflower and your headset.
Step 4: Create an Aggregate Sound Device
An Aggregate Sound Device is a virtual Mac OS device that provides communication between your audio software (the Soundflower app) and the hardware (your USB microphone). To create your Aggregate Device, do the following:
1. Open the Audio Midi Setup window (Applications -> Utilities-> Audio Midi Setup).
2. Click + in the bottom left corner of the window and choose Create Aggregate Device. Click on it to rename the device if you wish.
3. On the right side of the window, you will see a list of available audio devices. Check Soundflower (2ch) and USB Audio Device (this is your external microphone). Note that the name of your USB microphone can be different from this example.
Now you are ready to launch Movavi Screen Capture and start recording your Skype call.
Step 5: Record Your Skype Call
Open the list of recording sources and select the name of the device you created as your Aggregate Device. Now turn to the Skype window and place your call. When the call is answered, adjust a Capture Area to fit the call window and hit the Rec Button in the Screen Capture program interface. Now your call is being recorded. If you want to pause the recording at any time, press Alt+F1 on your keypad. To stop the capture, press Alt+F2. You can also manage the video capture with buttons on the call recorder tool panel.
Step 6: Save Your Skype Video
Once the call recording is complete, a window containing the newly created video will automatically open. Click the Save button to save it on your Mac.
Screen Capture for Mac
- Record screen video and online video
- Capture mouse and keyboard actions
- Capture sounds and USB audio devices
- Save recordings in any popular format

Singular Software's Standalone Audio Sync Software, DualEyes, Now Available for Mac
Singular Software's PluralEyes is the go-to plugin for editors who need to ingest footage from a dual-system shoot. When the audio was recorded on a separate recorder, and the recording medium lacks proper timecode (like, say, any HDSLR), PluralEyes analyzes the on-camera (low quality) audio and automatically syncs it to the audio recorder's (high quality) files. Voilà! To date, this software has only been available as a NLE plugin on the Mac, because DualEyes — the same technology in a standalone software package — was only available on Windows. Now Singular has released DualEyes for Mac, which lets you sync your files and bring them into any NLE (Final Cut Express or iMovie, for example). It's also
discounted for a limited time (since expired):
Now through February 21, DualEyes is available for 20% off the normal $149 retail price (which brings it down to $119). As I've said in the past, this is software that pays for itself the first time you use it; that's how much time it saves if you're shooting dual-system. It's also available for Windows Vista (at full retail price, however).

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Thanks for the heads up Koo.
But on the website they say "until Feb. 21, 2011″ not the 22nd.
- Sebastian
Gotcha — "until" Feb 22, not "through." Corrected…
This software sounds amazing. Is there any advantage to having the stand alone software over the plugin?
One reason might be that the sync could be used across platforms. It would suck having to spend another $150 if you found yourself switching from FCP to Premier Pro for instance. Another is if you are using iMovie or other unsupported editors. I wonder if it works as well. It would be nice to have some user reviews on this?
Mike Kleven
Luke on 02.3.11 @ 3:08PM
I'm curious why one would want it as a stand alone app, rather than a plug-in. I've been experimenting with the trial of Plural Eyes, and when it works properly, its an amazing time saver. Though I've had it botch a few projects (not permanently).
I think mainly if your NLE is not supported.

The Athens softball team has never had a losing season under head coach Craig Diedrich, and this year they plan on turning that success into a state title.
That begins with practice, but not outside, or in a gym... but in a horse barn. The Blue Jays are coming off a Marawood North Championship last year, but were knocked out by Spencer at Regional's.
The team has 5 returning starters, forcing them replace their entire outfield. Even with the adjustments, the team says the there is already a lot of chemistry within the girls.
The Blue Jays have never qualified to the state tournament, and say they plan on getting there one game at a time.

For Christmas, Jer surprised me with a new lens. It is the 85 mm lens and I was literally petting it like Ceelo does with his pimp cat. yeah. I said that.
So I
bribed kindly asked Will to come out one particularly sunny afternoon for me to give it a whirl.
I'll explain this in layman's terms (so all you professionals chime in if you have something else to add)…
I have a DLSR – which means I have a camera that I can switch out the lenses on. Not a point n shoot. I can control pretty much everything manually. Specifically I have a Mark II – which I call Markie Mark…sometimes Wahlberg
This lens is a prime lens. Prime lenses are ones you can NOT zoom in or out. It's fixed at a certain focal length…basically if I want to zoom in on Will, I gotta move my feet forward. BUT the great thing about prime lenses is that they are typically very sharp.
So the conditions here were full sun…middle of the day type shadows…
and my subject was moving…a lot…
I wanted to test out the lens for portraits (which generally move less than a toddler who is a little too excited to get outta the house and throw sticks)…so under my conditions I went with an ISO of 400. I set to AV (which means that I set the ISO and the aperture and the camera spits out the shutter speed for proper exposure) - that way I can make sure Will isn't putting harmful fungus into his mouth while I check my settings…
I tend to do that when shooting kids…use AV. It helps especially if you are responsible for their safety (like a toppling baby who may not catch themselves if they are still learning to sit up by themselves) or for when you are alone in the snake-infested woods behind our house
Okay – so based on my very limited knowledge of prime lenses (I have a nifty fifty – great prime lens for the price & a 50mm 1.4 – sharp sharp lens that I love), this one was a little more tricky for me.
First – it's 85mm…which means that I have to stand like 6 feet away to get this shot. And to me, that's far away when dealing with a toddler who I generally like to be within grabbing distance of…especially when in nature. Hello! I mentioned the snakes!
And I found it a little tricky to get it to 'grab' more depth in focus. I had it set to f/4.0 which would normally get his lips, eyes and to his ears in focus with my normal lens…but with this lens, I probably need to play more to find that sweet spot of getting just that right focal point.
I found it especially sharp all the way back to this full length shot – which is nice because it would remind me to take more full-length portraits vs. all close ups.
BUT when it got too far away – not my favorite. I think it just proves that it really goes by it's reputation of being a portrait lens.
There were some moments when literally it was really easy and it captured the sharpness perfectly…
I loved it especially with back lighting – which I struggle with…so this encouraged me.
Of course, we had some shadow issues with the full sun…so it was a challenge to get far enough away from Will and still be able to manipulate him into being in shadows. Imagine me saying – HEY Go get that stick over there! a million times…and then running away and running back to show him which stick and then runnning away to get the shot again. It was a workout.
But you know that sweet blurred background that 50mm delivers – yeah…to me, it's even more of a soft blur with the 85mm when you do closeups. It's purty.
Overall – I love it. It's gonna be great to use for outdoor shoots with more manageable subjects…like senior photos or maternity pictures. I don't think it would work for my newborn shoots – just simply because most of the times I work indoors for those. And handling a toddler alone and running back far enough to get the shot didn't make it ideal for me for Will's photos. I think in the end, the really sweet spot for it will be waist up portraits and closeup shots because the sharpness when set up correctly is AMAZING.
Okay – so there you have it – one little gal's review on the lens.
Anyone else wanna chime in?
p.s. For all of you starting out, I highly recommend beginner DSLRs like the Canon Rebel (Xsi
or Tsi) and READING YOUR MANUAL. Also, Nifty Fifty
would be hands down my recommendation for work beyond your kit lens…
Lesley permalinkFebruary 7, 2012
Thanks for the shout-out to the pimp cat. What is up with that thing??
Great pics. I have a Nikon D3000, which is perfect for a beginner like me. I need to play around with lenses though.
February 7, 2012
Sick of taking pics with the iPhone, i got a mirror less micro four thirds. the Olympus PEN PL-1 ( http://amzn.to/xN5ohj ). I really want the PL-3 in a bad way, but I think I need to actually learn how to use the camera before investing that kind of moola. Came with a 14-42mm & and a 40-150mm. Having a lot of fun playing and learning and going on field trips with my mom to San Francisco for some color. Still, sooooo much to learn and I would really like a fixed lens. I already have some amazing pics of the kids so, so far, it's been worth the investment. Plus it's small and easy to carry,but I still have to option to change out the lenses.
Thanks for posts like this, I learned something today!!
February 7, 2012
My hubby Bill, we'll call him bubba, just to make it fun… He got me the 50mm for Christmas and I'm in love. Serious love. So funny to grab for the lens and it not move…. But I love it so;)
Totally random and slightly stalker… Need a roomie for haven? Are you going? I know no body. I promise not to fart ( without knowing it…) or burp too much;) let me know. Would love to hang:)

Will is seriously, THE CUTEST!!! Your photography is awesome too!! Keep it up Katie!!!
Katie N. permalinkFebruary 8, 2012
TOTALLY unrelated to you post, but I saw this on the Today Show this morning and immediately thought of you. Have you seen this website??
Specifically, have you seen that they offer a bacon-flavored milk shake?!
Looks like you'll be making a trip to Jack N the Box today!

Beautiful photographs as always! I admire your work!! I am a photographer as well. What is your take on fill flash for outdoor portraits? I aim to capture my clients an hour or so before sunset so shadows aren't harsh, but sometimes their eyes will be dark if I don't use the flash. And when I do use my flash, my shutter won't go above 1/250 and am therefore forced to use a higher f stop which results in hardly any bokeh. How do you light your images so beautifully and still achieve the bokeh?
February 8, 2012
I want a DSLR so much! I want to be a part of this conversation. Instead, I feel like Joey speaking French on Friends:
Phoebe: Je m'appelle Claude.
Joey: Je te flouppe Fli.
We are blowing our life savings on a big six-month trip to Europe, which I think deserves a good camera, but Holy Mother of Photography, I can't afford one like yours. I think my heart stopped when I googled the price just now. Soo, do I go with something like the Rebel? Or do I decide I don't want to haul a big camera and lens(es) 24/7 for six months (since I would be too paranoid to ever leave it anywhere), and get something like the PowerShot?
Katie permalinkFebruary 9, 2012
Katie: two nights ago I had a weird series of dreams, and one of them was starring you. I hope that's not too creepy – I think you were in my dream since I ended up getting a camera as a birthday gift like an hour after reading this photography post, so you had been recently on my mind.
Anyway, I dreamed that you revealed that you had finally gotten pregnant (!). I know that this something that's very important to you in your life right now…and although in reality this may not end up happening very soon, I just wanted you to know that people are wishing good things for you (even subconsciously). Best of luck with everything!

Rosie permalinkFebruary 9, 2012
You probably have answered this elsewhere but do you shoot in what they call RAW or do you do jpeg or something else…….. Also could you do a post on how you store each shoot you do, do you need a lot of storage space and a really fast computer to save things and edit….. I do a shoot off my kids and take about 200 shots….but need tips on then getting through them all and editing etc……..I love taking pics and the end result but think I might be missing something in streamlining the way I sort through save and edit files…….

Tip o' the hat to 215Wall's post to light this fire. I started tracking Scout's star ranking for PSU recruits and gave them my own ranking through their college careers. Scout's web site star ratings (in parenthesis) only go back to the class of 2002 so I'll start there. Previous classes may be addressed later, if I feel like it or if someone else wants to give it a go. Feel free to recommend revisions by making a case for or against a particular player rating.
Here's how I rate them based solely on their college performance, not necessarily NFL projections:
5 stars, These are the guys that would have started on any top 5 team in the country, Most are All-Americans or 1st team Big Ten
Tamba Hali (4) and Levi Brown (4) two guys gettin' paid on sundays.
4 stars: Top level D1-A Ballers, A notch down from the 5 stars but if you filled your team with these guys you'd bring home the BCS-MNC, most of these made All Conference teams and some AA consideration.
Tim Shaw (2), Jay Alford (3) and Jeremy Kapinos (4)
3 stars: Quality D1-A starters
Calvin Lowry (3), Donnie Johnson (3), Ed Johnson (1) and BranDon Snow (4) The one star scout ranking for Ed Johnson is interesting, does anyone know if the character issues were recognized while he was in high school? Lowry is probably gets an additional half star.
2 stars: Quality backups because you've got to have depth
Chris Auletta (3), Robert Price (3), Steve Roach (3), and Mark Farris (4)
1 star: Depth Chart/practice squad fodder
Patrick Hall (1)
Washouts: This may be a harsh tag for some due to injuries or other extenuating circumstances but a lot of them didn't have the work ethic to stick it out.
J.R. Zwierzynski (3), Brian Borgoyn (4), Lee Lispi (3), Josh Hannum (3), Jim Kanuch (4) Marice Humphrey (3) and Chris Wilson (1)
Overall, this class turned out all right and helped pull us out of the dark years. 2 Five stars, 3 fours, and 4 threes, 9 quality D1-A players out of 21 recruits.

Hi Kriesi!
Just purchased your theme and it's amazing! I do have some questions for you though…
1. Can I swap out the banner element you are using on the main page – the one that is a rectangle with an inverted point? You are using it as a content divider/header. I want to simply make it fully rectangular without the inverted point. Is that possible? If so, can you point me in the right direction on where to change that?
2. On the same subject/item, can I change the titles of "Latest Portfolio Entries" and "Latest Products"? If so, where do I need to change that at? I would prefer to change to "Featured Businesses" and "Current Offerings." Any chance you can help?
Thank you so much for your help and congrats on this wonderful theme – it's fantastic!
Hey! of course, thats both possible.1.) add this to your custom.css stylesheet in folder /css/ or to the quick-css panel located in your wordpress backend at theme options ->styling:
#top .flag-diamond, #top .mini-seperator{display:none;}
2.) this is defined in the template builder. Open the template builder in your backend and select the dynamic template you have chosen to use. (guess its the default frontpage template) – Now edit the horizontal ruler elements
You are awesome! Thank you for the pointers. I will let you know if I have any other questions.
Thank you again!
Wonderful theme! Business, e-commerce, portfolio, blog, AND bbpress in one, wow!
I just was waiting for a real bbpress theme from your site.
I am undecided what to do. I would need a news theme, like newscast (but it's to old), therefore I would go with the shoutbox theme, but there I would be missing the bbpress forum especially the topics like you have very nicley implemented on your support site. What I would need is 1) a news theme WITH a forum/topic on the same home/landing page. Any chances to get this together in ONE big framework theme in the near (1month or so) future?
I just love the clarity of your work, therefore I would like to go with you in the future.
My questions specific to the propulsion theme: 1) possible to have the forum/topics on the front/home page? (The bbpress forum/topics is soo striking!) 2) possible to have the blog above on the front page (probably yes) 3) possible to have the blog search like you have done with the themes showcase on your page horizontally above? 4) possible that the forum/members account creation can be handled like in woocommerce, on a standalone base, w/o interaction with the wordpress backend? I don't want to have forum memeber on my back-end. And to have the profile data with a plugin like gravityform with a direct connection to a direct connection to a newsletter database like mailchimp/aweber?
Your ideas are very good, I just need all this very good ideas details in one super theme! Would pay even more for an exentend license on a yearly base. It's much easier than every time to make the adaptions to a new theme.
p.s. In case there will come out a new news/magazine theme, here would be a very clear composition (I haven't found such a clear news theme here in themeforest) www.wealthbriefing.com (just for input
Hey! For now I probably wont create a theme that has it all. I already feel that propulsion is at the limit of features the average user can easily grasp so adding even more stuff is probably overkill
1.) You can plase widets with latest topics etc on the frontpage but the forum itself cant be placed on the frontpage
2.) yes
3.) pleas clarif, not sure what you mean
4.) yes, I think there are already several bbpress plugins available that can handle that
Yesterday, they deleted my reply, no idea why.
3) Question: "possible to have the blog search like you have done with the themes showcase on your page horizontally above?"
Auf deutsch, weil ich die technischen Ausdrücke auf englisch nicht kenne: Auf deiner homepage lassen sich die themes nach gewissen kriterien anzeigen, nach show: und sort by: . Diese Funktionen, anstelle eines tag order catgory widgets, horizontal.
wäre möglich, würde allerdings etwas arbeit eines entwicklers verlangen. geht also nicht out-of-the-box
I'd love to know if there is an easy way to remove the shopping cart fuction to make it a catalogue only (removing all the add to cart, view cart, check out page etc…)
in that case i would recommend to only use the porfolio section instead of the ecommerce section. but it would also be able to remove the cart etc menus and buttons, yes.
Hi Kriesi,
Very nice theme indeed. Is it possible to run it multi-language [not using any auto translator]? Please let me know, best wishes,
The theme comes with a mo and po file, and so does the shop plugin so yes, it can be run in multilingual mode. But you need translate the language file yourself of course
hmmm… too bad thanx man for your early reply this is all I needed to know am making preps to start buying your template thanx again! aat
Perfection! This is at the top of my wish list.
Thanks a lot, glad you likt the theme
Yo! I'm creating a child theme so you're updates don't wreck what I have. Anything specific that needs to go in functions.php? Call to queue css or any?
Since the functions.php of a childtheme is laoded in addition to the original one you shouldnt need to load anything in addition to make the theme work
If I can just take a moment. I just purchased this theme (literally a few moments ago!)
I would like to personally thank you for A creating a quite truthfully beautiful WordPress theme and B you have quite literally saved my blog from going stale.
Your theme and the amount of work you have put in is phenomenal, I know a lot of people post comments about it would be nice to have this added nice to have that or just 'this doesn't work etc,etc.
You rarely see a comment giving praise these days, but I have to say credit where credit is due dude.
AWESOME work just simply AWESOME .
Oh yes and thanks!
Thanks a lot for your comment, really appreciate the kind words
Are there any options for change of font use in the system?
yes, the theme comes with a option for various different heading fonts (50+) you can choose from
Hey Kriesi!
Any recommendations on how I can get my portfolio to be filtered by alphabetical order?
a little tricky but possible:
open template.portfolio.php:
change line 16 to read:
$avia_config['new_query'] = array("paged" => get_query_var( 'paged' ), "posts_per_page" => $avia_config['portfolio_item_count'], "post_type"=>"portfolio", 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC');
then open includes/helper-templates.phpand change the query at line 1060 to
$avia_config['new_query'] = array('orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC', "paged" => get_query_var( 'paged' ), "posts_per_page" => $portfolio['portfolio_item_count'], 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'portfolio_entries', 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => $terms, 'operator' => 'IN')));
If you need the alphabetical sorting for dynamic templates as well change line 569-581 to read:
if(empty($portfolio_cats_dynamic) || $portfolio_cats_dynamic == 'null') { $avia_config['new_query'] = array('orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC',"paged" => get_query_var( 'paged' ), "posts_per_page" => $avia_config['portfolio_item_count'], "post_type"=>"portfolio"); } else { $avia_config['new_query'] = array( 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC', "paged" => get_query_var( 'paged' ), "posts_per_page" => $avia_config['portfolio_item_count'], 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'portfolio_entries', 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => explode(',', $portfolio_cats_dynamic) , 'operator' => 'IN')) ); }
You are simply a genius! I have most of the template setup for what we need but may still have some questions – I'm just now playing around with the woocommerce plugin.
On a side note, my company (high-potential startup) is looking for some custom development and am interested in speaking with you about acquiring your services? Do you have an email address we may be able to communicate through, privately?
Thanks again for all your help – it's much appreciated!
you can use office [at] kriesi [dot] at, but unfortunately I have a lot to do with themeforest so its highly unlikely that I will find the time for other projects :/
Is there any way to remove the info panel from the blog? I added a picture of the area i am speaking of.
to expand on the above post, i woudl liek to remove that and make it the entire width of the blog area or at the very least make the title expand over both areas. I feel that without that its somewhat hard to follow.
another alternative would be for that area to appear like it does once its shrunk down, in between. This is literally the only thing i need before i purchase this theme. the reviews sound great the support seems top notch. So i am ready to buy this i just need to know that this is possible so i can add it to the arsenal.
Thank You!
None of that is possible out of the box but with a few very small changes in the css files it shouldn't be a problem at all to either remove the area completely or let the text stretch accross the full width. If you need help with that after your purchase feel free to use my support forums at http://www.kriesi.at/support and we will walk you through
Hi Christian, First of all, this theme is a beast! You amaze with quality again I have 1 question. You described that this theme is suited for users who want to create a business, portfolio or eCommerce site. My question is, can I make blog on top of it and would it be a good idea? Also, good luck with sales!
Yes of course. you dont need to use the plugins, so there is no php/js/css overhead, and its perfectly possible to use the front page as a blog
@kriesi thank you so much now live and am very, very pleased with how the theme performed above and beyond my expectations, why not stop by and leave a comment! http://wpin.me/new-look-for-wpin-me-for-2012/
thanks again dude, OUTSTANDING theme, loving it!
thanks a lot! good job with the site
Problems with checkout/place order from Google Chrome, need help ASAP : http://www.aedaddy.com/
would you mind describing your problem a little more in depth and send me your wordpress backend access information so I can take a look myself?
It's ok for now i clean up old wordpress and start new installation. For now everything is ok. If i have any troubles i will contact you. Btw Template is Awesome!
thanks, glad you like it
Hi Kriesi,
Thank you for an amazing theme! This was first theme I bought from you and you instantly became my favorite theme developer Simply best WordPress theme I've come a cross. Very easy to set up out of the box and I was happily surprised how easy to manage the WooCommerce shop is. Good choice.
One minor issue though, for some reason all Scandinavian (ä, ö, å) and some other special characters are messed up in featured slider: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7025/6562981129_c661915fb8_b.jpg
Any plans to add breadcrumb option into the theme? Sure, I can use some 3rd party plug-in (as I do currently) but would be nice to have it out of the box That's only thing I've had to edit in PHP files this far.
Anyway, help with the featured slider issue would be highly appreciated.
Thanks again!
Cheers from Finland, Sami
P.S. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012!!! Looking forward to see more great themes from you
Hey Sami! breadcrumb is currently not planned but if requested often I will probably add it. Thanks for the notice on the scandinavian characters, will fix that as soon as possible
Hey Kriesi!
Ok, Looking forward for the featured slider Scandinavian characters fix
Yeah, I can live with the 3rd party breadcrumb plug-in, even though I haven't been able to figure out why product item page breadcrumb drops out product categories from the trail (in brackets): frontpage >> shop >> (maps >> printed >>) map of new york…
Another thing which is bugging me is inconsistent image re-sizing when adding images to product gallery and homepage featured slider. Sometimes it re-sizes image based on the featured slider width (and crops the image height) but sometimes it just places the full image and the height can be over 900px.
Would you have a tip how to scale/crop images? Should all images be same size when placed on featured slider / products (or at least same proportion)
Thank you in advance!
Hi Again Kriesi,
Nevermind about the inconsistent image re-sizing, I found solution from your support site
Also quick fix for the featured slider Scandinavian character issue is to use appropriate html tags (e.g. ä and ö)
Still one issue though When using featured caption, the caption takes all real-estate from the featured slider and the featured image won't get any attention. Would there be a way to make the caption frame less-wide in mobile? And maybe also increase opacity for the frame background? (even with frame the caption text might blend too much with the featured image)
In layout.css line 1991 you can find this code:
#top div .slideshow_caption { width: 100%; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); }
if you remove the background there will be no frame at all for mobile devices if you choose a non-framed caption. or in case you just want to change the opacity simply change the 0.5 into something like 0.2 for a lighter background
Hi Kriesi,
Thanks for your reply.Actually I wanted to change the background darker and split the frame to take about 50% instead of 100% in mobile devices. I managed to do that by media queries in custom.css and changing properties for the following rule:
#top div .slideshow_caption {width: 50%; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); }
I'm doing quite a lot customization with CSS so I might have new headaches soon
Best, Sami
Just great!!! an amazing journey for unexperienced "webdesigners". My bussines started with Amplify and now after 3 years i´m growing to this theme… even if i make lots of money out of it, (wich i definetly expect)...will not contract anybody to do my web designing… i like the way you make it easy to…
Thanks for making my bussiness part of life easier…
Merry Christmas to you and your team from Spain!!!
Merry Christmas and thanks for the kinds words!
Is There a good way to merge colomns in the footer. Instead of having 4 fourths, I'd like to have a half and 2 fourths.
set the column count for your footer to 3 in your wordpress backend, than add the following to your custom.css file, located in folder propulsion/css:
#footer .one_third{ width: 22%; } #footer .one_third.first{ width: 48%; }
Perfect! Thank you!
hello, beautiful theme.
I'm having a problem with the theme settings conflicting with wordpress settings for the static page. I want the "home" page of my site to be a static page that i have created and I want the blog page where posts go to be a separate static page accessible through the nav. It seems the settings in WP Reading and the settings in the theme conflict.
If I set the theme home page to the page I have titled "Home" and the theme blog page set to the blog page I have created AND leave the WP Reading Settings for home page to "posts" then the home page shows up correctly but the blog page says "no products found."
If I set the theme settings the same as the above but also set the WP Reading settings to the appropriate static pages then the home page shows the blog posts and the blog page shows the blog posts.
I cannot seem to get the home page to show my home page and my blog page to show the blog posts. What am I doing wrong?
Also, is there a way to remove the page heading/title on individual pages? For example, the home page I want to use is called Home but I do not want the word "Home" in large font appearing on the home page. I would only want this on the blog page or shop pages to display the blog title or product category or something like that.
If you set the theme home page to the page you have titled "Home" and the theme blog page set to the blog page you have created AND leave the WP Reading Settings for home page to "posts" then the home page as well as the blog page should show up correctly BUT please make sure that the woocommerce plugin pages are configured correctly. (Woocommerce->settings->pages)
The error you are encountering could happen because no shop page was choosen.
2.) if you want a out of box solution for this I would recommend to build a custom template with the template builder and apply it to pages which should look different from the default layout

Cuenca, Ecuador News
Calle Larga has become quite the destination. Not only are there wall-to-wall teenagers and college kids on weekends, but restaurateurs seem to think everyone wants to eat there. Since the opening of Oliveto, two more restaurants have popped up and rumor has it that a Thai restaurant will open there shortly.
I can't say anything about Bananas as I haven't eaten there. I can tell you about Santorino (previously known as La Vinainc) on the corner of Calle Larga and Mariano Cueva. This seems to be one the new popular places in town. I must say that their almuerzo (salad or soup, meat fish or pasta, dessert and juice) for $3.99 + IVA is a steal. There are several choices and it will be interesting to see if they can keep it up at that price. The prices on the menu have already changed, so go now and get the good deal while it lasts!
If you order off the menu the prices are comparable to other restaurants of its type. For example, shrimp ceviche is $4.95, and calamari $4.25. Lomo is $9-$12 and seafood $7-$12.
The old management of Zoe is now at La Riera Calle Larga, a block away from Santorino, same side, just past Vargas Machuca. (The old Zoe, by the way, is still going strong on Borrero at Sucre, and is serving a $2.50 almuerzo). The La Riera chef was trained in Argentina and the menu has some interesting items. They are serving almuerzo for $5 (tax included), which includes soup, fish, chicken or beef and juice. They also offer $3 cocktails at happy hour, which include mojitos, gin and tonic and daiquiris.
If you head down Mariano Cueva, just past Bolivar, you'll find Hotel Coronel and Don Colon's bar and restaurant in the courtyard. Another new and popular spot with expats, there is no doubt that the Don is trying to give us what we want. There's the "All-American Sunday" which offers a filet mignon or fish served with onion soup and caesar salad, and priced at $10, plus IVA and tip. There are also Fish Fridays for $5.99 and I was told that with his first endeavour he served over 120 meals!
Some comments about bills and bread
Perhaps this is the time for a short explanation of IVA and tip. The tax a restaurant owes to the government is called IVA and is the 12% added to every bill. Some restaurants also add a 10% service charge (the tip) which is often not seen by the waitperson, split, instead, between kitchen staff and wait staff and sometimes applied to the owner's Social Security costs for employees. If both IVA and servicio are included on the tab, it adds up to 22%. Some restaurants print two prices on your menu, the pre-tax price and the price you will actually pay, which includes the IVA and service charge. So don't be surprised when you think you're paying $5 for lunch and your bill comes to $6.10. Of course your local comedor that serves a $2 lunch has no extra charge and I don't know or care how they get away with it.
Some establishments, like Cafe Eucalyptus, charge only the IVA (12%). That way, when you tip, it goes to the waitperson. Good deal!
I'm happy to report there is finally more decent bread available in Cuenca (I told you a couple years ago about the excellent products at Maria's Alemania on Hermano Miguel at Sucre and you can check that out in the Cuenca High Life archives). One of my new faves is the "Integral" from Coopera. However, for the kind of artisan bread we're used to there are a couple of new options. Susannah makes 8 different varieties from walnut and cinnamon raisin to olive onion and corn and aji for $2.50 a loaf. The pick up options are at Windhorse Cafe on Calle Larga on Tuesday from 10-12 noon. or Carolina Bookstore on Wednesday from 11 onwards. Both Windhorse and San Sebas have Gluten free options for their patrons. Email firstname.lastname@example.com, phone 0980-363-451.
Branden of Villa San Carlos is doing sourdough at $1.25 a loaf. Order on Monday for Thursday pick-up at Villa San Carlos, Remigio Tamariz at Solano after 12 noon. Email email@example.com, phone 281-1903.
The good news is that if you live in the west part of town (in the area of Edificios Terrassa, Amazonas, Palermo, etc.) there are pick-up options that don't require going into El Centro. Inquire when you order.
Cutlines: Santorino on the corner of Calle Larga and Mariano Cueva; the steak sanwhich at La Riera; the always-cheerful Don Colón; and Don's All-American filet mignon.

Lt. Johnston finally reporting for duty
A co-worker forwarded this to me today--I wanted to share with everyone, especially those with family in the military past or present. Rather than earn promotions through the Oakland farm system, Johnston was deployed three times. He went to the Persian Gulf twice — aboard the USS Peleliu, an amphibious assault ship; and the USS Curts, a frigate. He helped to defuse a pirate attack on a Singaporean vessel in the Gulf of Aden. And as far as August heat, the Texas League has nothing on Bahrain. But now Johnston is off active duty, almost certainly for good. And when the independent California Winter League opens Saturday, he will suit up for his first nine-inning, keep-score game since June 9, 2008 — when the Navy called him back to active duty just 36 games into his professional career.

So Wakefield and Bay team up to give the Red Sox yet another win! There is nothing like watching a knuckleballer when he is on.
I always liked both players. It is great that Wakefield has had a chance to play with a winner and win 2 WS! Also it is great that Bay had his first post season experience last year and is playing so well this year.
I am happy for them both!

After taking a year off, comedy is back in Traverse City this winter.
More than 25 comedians will arrive today and tomorrow for the Traverse City Winter Comedy Arts Festival.
Last year the comedy festival decided to cancel because it did not want to be scheduled on the same weekend as the microbrew festival. Organizers also said they wanted to spread out the events for the community and local economy.
This year the organizers of the Winter Wow Fest have combined their event with the comedy festival.
The festival will shut down front street in front of the state theater and install a synthetic ice rink, ferris wheel,and sledding hill. All those events are free.
Kathleen Madigan will kick off the event tonight at the city opera house and Colin Quinn will perform at the State Theatre.
Kyle Mitchell and Photojournalist Jeff Blevins have more as the city prepares for the festival.

So I was thinking that once I got to 40 I would have access to be able to build some of the more advanced materials, alas, this was not the case. I presumed that there would have to be recipes somewhere for them but couldn't find anything until I started digging around on http://aoedb.net/designs/type/material
Is there a way to find those other Rare/Epic materials or do you just have to wait to find them in a loot drop? If that is the case, where/what missions give the best chance to get these in loot drops?
Sonovius:The recipes are drops but the word on the street is they havent dropped now for months. Not sure if/when they will change that. Uncommon mats are worth much more anyway. Just trade for what you need until GPG adjusts the drops.
I will second that. I have been playing since the release date and the rare and epic material recipes have not been dropping since the end of November. There is no place in game to buy them. However, the common and uncommon mats are selling pretty well right now, so you can just make them, sell them, and buy the rare and epic mats you need for crafting.
Just in case you do not know about this (i.e., I did not know about it until well after hitting level 40 with Greeks), almost everything that drops and can be crafted is available for purchase in the trade channel. It is one of the tabs on the chat windows. I didn't figure this out until late September when somebody told me I could get epic Soma in trade. You can buy the rare/epic mats in trade for a lot less than what they cost in stores in the game. Then, when recipes start to drop again, you will find them for sale by people in the trade channel.
Sonovius:I saw Recipe: White Honey in trade the other day for 100K.
I sold Archimedes Tools recipe last month for 225k to some guy that was spamming that he would pay that much for it. He actually went to 250k, but I decided to cut it back to his original request. The entire situation with recipes sucks indeed. Along with a couple other items that rarely drop nowadays (e.g., Ramses).
P Gracias:Normal epic recipes used to be ~2K b4 that, ramases ~100K
Basic epic recipes, like arctic fox furs, gold ingots, obsidian blocks, white honey, and guayacan planks, went for around 2k. The advanced epic recipes like archimedes tools, flawless diamonds, silk, philosopher stones, and illuminated codexes went for around 8k to 12k with tools and stones being on the high side.
Ramses were 100k. They had actually dropped to about 80k right before the last patch. Personally, I think Ramses should be there right along Heavy Cedary beams at 15 to 20k. Way more units can use Ramses versus heavy cedar beams so the drop rate really needs to be increased. Not many, if any, farmable level 40 quests other than maybe Marion.
I got the pholisofers stone recipe some days ago,2 weeks ago i think, and the osidian stone in octumber, i hated the loot when i got it, but know im happy
Alacazhan:I got the pholisofers stone recipe some days ago,2 weeks ago i think, and the osidian stone in octumber, i hated the loot when i got it, but know im happy
lol gratz
But the next patch is supposed to fix it proberbly
I've been reading "The next patch is supposed to fix" drops for material recipe's and a hundred other problems, since the problems began. I dont even get myself excited about any changes anymore.....not until they are actually changed. You'll only end up paranoid if you believe that things will be done when you read that they will be done. Just sit back and do what you do, and when changes DO come, it will be much easier to appreciate them. I play this game for relaxation. Once I let go of the anger and frustration, I found the game much more enjoyable. Hope you all are able to do the same. It's no fun to play frustrated and angry.

First, thanks again for sticking with me last week as I ran another best-of while I attended the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Philadelphia. While I didn't do any writing, I did keep up with the news. But I couldn't be constrained to only five stories, so check out my list of the most interesting aviation/airline news, below.
- My Aug. 10 post about the Tuskegee Airmen prompted Ernie Nackord (@WWIIPilots) to post a comment with a link to a 47:10 minute video interview with Airman Adolph Moret and his wife Eline. I plan on watching it this weekend, and I hope you take the time to do the same.
- Scott McCartney posts at the Wall Street Journal's Middle Seat Terminal blog on how despite airlines offering better food choices, you guys insist on going for the junk food. My July 19 post offers my own view on inflight food.
- Cranky Flier (aka Brett Snyder) says why the airlines were correct in NOT passing along a temporary FAA tax cut along to passengers.
- Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) is chairman of the House Transportation Committee and loves to shoot out sound bites about parts of the air transportation system that catches his attention. This week he targeted the Essential Air Service (EAS) program in the Sunshine News, saying he wants to shut the program down. But those are fighting words to rural lawmakers, including Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce committee. I covered my feelings on EAS in a Feb. 9 post.
- The Los Angeles Times writes about how the new ABC-TV television show Pan Am has sparked a nostalgia for the airline's logo line. (There's more after the video, kids)
We'll end the week with two things that are perfect bookends — a post on Up Up And A Gay on flight attendants talking about gross things passengers do on planes (snot-covered blankets, dripping breast milk) and Aviation Week's Strange But True Aviation News (urinating passengers, bats on a plane). Enjoy the weekend, kids!!

Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth (WiiWare) Review
Posted by
Adam Larck
on 01.15.2010
Can Konami recapture the glory that is the early years of Castlevania? 411's Adam Larck tells you inside.
Title: Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth
Publisher: Konami
Developer: M2
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1
Rated: Teen
After releasing a Contra ReBirth game for the WiiWare a few months ago, Konami has followed that up with a ReBirth of Castlevania: The Adventure. For those that don't know, Castlevania: The Adventure originally released for the Game Boy with four stages.
That's right, stages. Unlike many of the entries in the series, Adventure isn't an exploration type game like Symphony of the Night and others. Instead, players go through individual levels trying to avoid obstacles and kill enemies, all the while progressing towards beating some bosses before the final confrontation with Dracula.
The newest game actually comes with a few more levels, having six in total. The levels each have their distinct feel and really remind me of the earlier games as you walk through the castle and through caves.
Like other games in the series, the game follows a Belmont as he tries to destroy Dracula. In this game, it's actually Christopher Belmont. The game starts off with a few screens giving a background to the game before finally throwing you into Stage 1.
Before getting into the gameplay, I first want to touch briefly on the control scheme. You are given three options in the game: The Wii Remote/Nunchuk, GameCube controller and Classic controller. I personally used the GameCube controller as it felt most comfortable to me. The Wii Remote combo was good and didn't use any motion controls, but Castlevania just feels better to me with a controller.
Anyways, once in the game, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia. The graphics and sounds both really reminded me of the early entries in the series and were great to see and hear in the game.
The game doesn't try anything fancy with the graphics. Instead, it pays tribute to the early days by having basic sprites, but adds a modern polish to it. A comparison would be to the graphics of SOTN. They really do look good and are nice to see throughout the game, whether it's your own character or the enemies.
The sound is also great. Some of it is remastered from earlier games in the series, while other tracks are completely new to the game. All of the tracks gave it a good feel as you went through the game.
In the game, players get a life bar to advance through a stage in the amount of time given. The time was never really a problem for me, and seemed as if you had more than enough time to complete a level. While you normally don't find any health help, occasionally you can run across some food that heals you or a 1up to give you another life.
The first change from the older Castlevania games can actually be felt the first time you jump. You can actually change the direction of your jump in mid-air. It's a nice touch to allow you to finesse around an enemy or obstacle, but a change that old school players may not like. However, a classic mode can be unlocked that allows you to go back to the old style of jump. This mode is unlocked after the first time you play the game, so it's not like you have to work to get it.
Like in other games, hearts can be picked up, as well as various sub-weapons to throw that use the hearts. The weapons include daggers, crosses, axes and more. Also available for pick up are balls that help increase the damage your whip can do and can also allow it to shoot fireballs. Once you die, however, your whip returns back to normal and needs to be upgraded again. Both the sub-weapons and power ups are different color candles from normal hearts so that you don't accidentally grab a weapon and lose the one you have.
This actually brings me to a complaint I have. Maybe this is because I've gotten a bit used to the newer entries in the series, but why couldn't sub-weapons drop to the ground when another one is picked up? It would at least give a chance to switch out a weapon if you accidentally pick up another one while taking out enemies. It's not a big complaint, but something that would have been nice to have in the game.
Also in these candles were keys that unlocked doors that lead to hidden areas or shortcuts. The areas contained things from hearts to cash, which does nothing but raise your score. The shortcuts helped sometime bypass difficult areas. While carrying a key, however, you can't hold any extra weapons as it takes that slot up.
There's quite a bit of other things I noticed while playing the game from the original games as well. Water is still an instant death, you can't jump while moving on stairs and you get launched backwards when you get hit by an enemy.
A lot of enemies are a throwback from previous entries in the series as well. Medusa heads, flea-men and more can be seen as you progress through the game. Some bosses look familiar to, such as the staples of Dracula, with three forms, and the Grim Reaper.
However, there are some changes as well. A difficulty mode has been added to the Option Menu to change from easy, medium and difficult. This allows both veteran players and new entrants into the series to enjoy the game at their own level. The number of lives can also be set in this menu. Also in the game are various checkpoints to start back at before bosses and harder areas so that you don't have to replay a whole stage over again.
The game seemed to offer some good challenges without seeming cheap like some of the NES games. Still, there seemed to be some parts that threw quite a bit at you at once, and it become a bit hard to dodge everything without taking a bit of damage. You can still make your way through it, but it definitely tests your skills.
A few other points in the game bugged me as well. The game likes to give you a lot of cash and points, but there were never any use for them. Not even a leaderboard was included to compare your score against other players.
Also, unless you would know what to do, you would think that you have to beat this game all in one sitting since the game never mentions a level select at the intro screen. However, by holding right a few seconds over the New Game button, you can go to a level select and choose any level you've beaten. I'm not sure why this isn't just a regular option instead of having to go online and find out about this.
Finally, my last complaint is that there really isn't much to do after beating the game. No extra playthroughs open up or anything else special to try out. After you beat the game, you can beat it again if you want and that's about it. A few extra additions after beating the game would have been nice, as the game can be beaten fairly quickly on one sitting if you're a veteran of the series and a good player.
Still, for $10, Castlevania fans have a great game on their hands here. It's reminiscent of the early games in the series and just as fun to play. Even without anything extra to do after beating the game, there's a lot of fun to be had going through the game and remembering the early days of the series.
The 411:
Once again, Konami has done a good job with their ReBirth series. It would be nice to see some other Castlevania games in the series get this treatment as well, as the updated graphics and sounds really help to add to a Castlevania game many people may have missed. While the game does have a few kinks or things that could have been added, fans of the series or of platforming action games in general should check out this game for a good old school game.
The updated graphics look great, and the added luster to them reminded me of SOTN. Whether it was seeing the backgrounds or enemies, I enjoyed taking in the sights while progressing through the stages.
The classic formula is kept intact here from earlier games. Even with small complaints about missing leaderboards or disappearing sub-weapons, the gameplay was fluid, easy to pick up and great to play.
Hearing the music in the game was easily the high point for me. The tracks were just as catchy and enjoyable as they were in the NES games, and I loved listening to them while running around.
Lasting Appeal
After beating the game, that's really all there is to do. It may take a few hours to get there, but not much else is left after the ending.
Fun Factor
The nostalgia in the game was great for me. Playing this 2D game was a lot of fun for me and brought back good memories of earlier entries in the series.

The North Dakota Senate has approved increased funding for K-12 schools which will also mean significant reductions in property taxes.
The $1.2 billion bill has $700 million going into property tax relief.
The bill is a new way of funding schools, which will mean less money coming from local governments.
Senator Tim Flakoll says the state will fund 80% of the cost of education.
And a $200,000 home will see a $1,200 reduction in property taxes.
The bill also raises the minimum teacher salary to $27,500.
An attempt to increase the minimum to $32,000 failed.
The bill now goes to the House for it's review.
Meanwhile, the Senate Appropriations Committee is being pressured to make changes to a bill that includes funding for the Fargo flood control project.
President Obama did not include money in his budget for the Fargo diversion.
As it stands now, the bill says the state will chip in only if the federal government is financially committed.

Two people have been killed and one is seriously injured in an apparent home invasion on Babin Rd. in Gonzales.
The home invasion happened Saturday in the 39000 block of Babin Road, deputies believe it happened between midnight and 10 a.m. Saturday. The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office was called to the home Saturday night after family members were unable to get in touch with the people living in the home.
Once they got there, no one answered the door and they had to force their way in.
Robert Irwin Marchand, 74, and step-son Douglas Dooley, 50, were found dead in the home. Shirley Marchand, 72, was still alive when deputies found her and was taken to a hospital where she had emergency surgery.
Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley says the quiet Christian couple are not ideal victims. All three were found with their throats slit and their bodies showed signs of blunt trauma. There were no signs of forced entry.
According to Sheriff Wiley, an entire safe containing gold coins was stolen. The estimated value of all four coin sets is valued around $500,000.
"We think that they knew that there were valuables in the house and yes we think they knew something about the Marchands," says Sheriff Wiley.
The Ascension Parish Sheriff says the victims are well known and respected citizens and they were viciously attacked in their homes. Sheriff Wiley also says the department is working non stop to identify and capture the killers.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office at 225-621-INFO(4636) or Crime Stoppers at 225-344-STOP(7867).
We will bring you more information as it becomes available.

Miguel Flores, 26, of Corona, was arrested Tuesday, Oct. 8, after being accused of inappropriately touching girls at Bixby Oaks day care center on Rimpau Avenue.
Parents of children registered at Bixby Oaks are encouraged to discuss this with their kids , and to contact Senior Detective Andy Bryant at 951-817-5789 if they believe Flores may have had inappropriate contact with their children.
On Monday, police said they were notified by a "concerned guardian" that an 11-year-old girl had been inappropriately touched by a staff member at the day care. Shortly thereafter, Flores was identified as the suspect.
Detectives then interviewed the 11 year old and she told them of specific incidents when she was alone with Flores. They also learned an 8-year-old girl may have also been inappropriately touched by the suspect.Police did not disclose details of the incidents.
