After Effects CS6 on OS X Mavericks
Jun 15, 2013, 01:16 AM
Anyone been able to successfully run After Effects CS6 on the first beta of OS X Mavericks?
Jun 15, 2013, 05:52 AM
No, I have the same problem as you. Just a strait up crash.
Jun 15, 2013, 06:41 AM
Same error here. Reinstall didn't helped.
Adobe will release Photoshop CC on Monday. It is possible that all other apps will be updated as well.

Thanks for the information! Fingers crossed!

Has anyone successfully resolved this issue?
Jun 17, 2013, 10:51 PM
It is quite likely that any fix will require Adobe to implement updates to the application.
Just remember, this is a Developer Preview, not an end user release.
Jun 21, 2013, 04:03 AM
Just to confirm... AE CC did NOT fix this problem.. this could end up being a real problem.
edit: it doesn't look too great getting AE to run any time soon.

Jesus. What a bunch of entitled spoiled BRATS in that thread. I'd say they sound like children, but my 6 year old daughter is already smarter than they are and she can't even type yet.

As stated in the thread that thomaskc linked to, an update will be released by the time the new OS is released.

Thanks Todd, looking forward to it. :)
I am utterly ashamed at how some people are. People need to get over themselves and understand that they are running PREVIEW software that is designed for developers to test on. Sure, Mavericks is running MILES better than Mountain Lion ever did, but it doesn't mean that you can just go ahead and make it your main production machine.
If stuff isn't working, don't assume that developers are going to make a fix for it when it's probably going to conflict with something else in a future beta.

The iPad's built-in speaker and headphone jack allow you to enjoy your music anywhere, but at home you might prefer to listen to music on the higher-quality speakers of your stereo system. Many stereo receivers have USB ports and docks to accommodate the iPad. If your stereo receiver isn't designed for iPad compatibility, you can still attach an iPad by connecting a cable to the iPad's headphone jack.
Minijack or "Y" Cable
Step 1
Check the back of your stereo receiver to determine which audio connections it supports. If the receiver has an "Aux" or "Line In" jack with a single hole resembling the iPad's headphone jack, purchase a cable with a 1/8-inch connector on both ends. If the receiver has two input jacks color-coded red and white, purchase a "Y" cable with a 1/8-inch connector on one end and two RCA connectors on the other end.
Step 2
Turn the iPad's volume down using the buttons on the right side of the iPad before connecting it to your stereo receiver. You can raise the volume to the desired level after you connect the iPad and begin playing a song. If you have the Apple iPad Dock, skip this step as the Dock has a line-level output that requires no volume adjustments.
Step 3
Attach one of the cable's 1/8-inch connectors to the headphone jack on the top of the iPad. Alternatively, dock the iPad and attach the cable to the "Line Out" jack on the back of the Apple iPad Dock. The Dock can charge the iPad while you listen to music if it is connected to an outlet. If you don't own the Dock, the iPad will run on battery power unless you connect it to a power outlet via its charging cable.
Step 4
Attach the other end of the cable to the 1/8-inch or RCA inputs on the back of your stereo receiver. Note the label of the input you're using, such as "Aux" or "Line In."
Step 5
Use the receiver's controls to switch to the input to which the iPad is connected.
Step 6
Play a song on the iPad. If you attach the iPad to one of your stereo receiver's audio input jacks, you'll need to keep the iPad within arm's reach as the receiver's remote control will not allow you to switch between songs.
Step 7
Adjust the iPad's volume using the receiver's remote control if you have connected the iPad via the "Line Out" jack on the back of the Apple iPod Dock. If you have connected the iPad via the headphone jack, adjust the volume with the buttons on the side of the iPad after setting the stereo receiver to a moderate volume level.
USB Port or iPad Dock
Step 1
Turn your stereo receiver off or lower the volume fully to prevent pops and other noises when you connect the iPad.
Step 2
Connect your receiver's iPad dock to the port with a label such as "iPad" or "Dock." If your receiver uses a USB connection rather than an iPad dock, connect the cable to the USB port.
Step 3
Connect the other end of the cable to the dock connector on the bottom of the iPad.
Step 4
Turn the stereo receiver on and press the "iPod" or "iPad" button on the remote control. The iPad's screen should now indicate that the device is connected to a power source; you can now control the iPad using your receiver's remote control.
Step 5
Use the remote control to select and play a song. After the song begins playing, adjust the volume to the desired level.
- Some iPad cables, such as the one included with certain Pioneer home theater receivers, have two connectors that must attach to the receiver: a USB connector and a composite video connector. The ports for these two connectors are side by side on the receiver. The other end of the cable attaches to the iPad Dock Connector as described in this article.
- The iPad runs Apple's iOS operating system, which is not the same as the operating system found on older devices such as the iPod Classic. Some stereo receivers with USB ports may have iPod support but may not work with the iPad. In addition, some stereo receivers may be unable to charge an iPad via the USB port.
Required Items
- Minijack or "Y" audio cable or stereo receiver with iPad support

News: Treach Fires Naughty By Nature's Vinnie: "Anybody That F*cks W/ That B*tch A** N*gga Don't F*ck W/ Me!!"
Tuesday, May 7, 2013 10:29AM
Tensions appear to be flaring between Naughty By Nature's Treach and his longtime sidekick Vinnie as a clear rift has been blown up for the public to see through social media.
Treach broke the news of his disassociation from Vinnie on Twitter late Monday (May 6) night.
"Vinnie from NAUGHTY BY NATURE is Officially FIRED!! Anything he does besides shows til Sept is Frugazy!! F*ck him & the Ground he Walks!!," Treach tweeted.
"Anybody that f*cks with that B*tch a** N*gga Don't F*ck with Me!!" (Treach's Twitter)
Although not a direct response, an Instagram photo from Vinnie's page appears to give his take on the matter.
"'Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of thers. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.' - Sitting Bull," Vinnie posted with the headline "Sitting Vin" (Vinnie's Instagram)
Coincidentally, Treach talked to SOHH a couple years ago and boasted about Naughty By Nature's longevity in the rap game.
"The fans have been asking for this. There's not too many groups that have been in the game like we have and still have a following. But the biggest ready why you need to get the album is because your n*gga Trigga said so. For you to have fans and to hear their passion for wanting to hear your music, I'm a fan of my own material. So I've been waiting to hear this as well. It's been ten years since the last album so it's finally time. The fans are never going to have to wait this long again." (SOHH 5 Reasons Why You Should Buy)
The New Jersey natives' career together dates back over two decades.
Treach, Vin Rock and DJ Kay Gee comprise the rap group from East Orange. The group, known for successful crossover songs "O.P.P." (1991) and "Hip Hop Hooray" (1993), celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2011. (Star-Ledger)

Round 1, Pick #27-
This is going to be my eighth mock draft. This is also going to be the first mock draft where I incorporate a trade for the Steelers. Some prospects the Steelers will have interest in are Cordy Glenn, Dontari Poe and Donta Hightower. Since the first two will be off the board and not many teams behind the Steelers need a 3-4 ILB they will explore the possibilities of trading down. They find their partner in the New England Patriots. The Patriots trade up to jump in front of Houston to grab Stephen Hill, the 6'4" 215lbs WR from GT who ran a 4.36 forty at the combine and looked good in routes during positional drills. They will trade their 24th pick and 88th pick for the Patriots 27th pick and 63rd pick.
Donta Hightower, ILB Alabama-
HIghtower is now becoming the common first round pick for the Steelers. The Steelers in this mock understand that the Broncos do not need a 3-4 ILB neither do the Texans but they need to get him before the Ravens pick . The Patriots will want a big fast WR to help their offense and they have two first round picks and two second round picks. It would kill them if they could get the WR they need keep their other first round pick to address another need and gain another third round pick. Back on Hightower though. Hightower is a a banger with great instincts and strength. He looked better than I thought in his Pro Day and in the Combine in movement drills. He will complement Timmons well. I have some concerns about his speed but the 6'2" 265lbs Hightower clearly fills the need and is smart enough to start day one. He is a great run stuffer and smart in zone coverage. He lack the quick twitch muscle make him only a solid ILB not elite. Hightower is a great tackler and aleader on the Crimson Tide. With the 27th pick he is just the type of solid starter that the Steelers like.
Round 2, Pick 56-
Alemeda Ta'amu, NT Washington-
Ideally Ta'amu could have been taken with the 59th pick however with the Houston Texans needing a 3-4 NT as well the Steelers must take him with this pick. Ta'amu is a 6'3" 343 monster of a run stuffer. He has a very quick get off and is very strong. While he doesn't have the monstrous upside Dontari Poe does he will be a very good NT in the NFL. He has had some weight concerns and with his gain of weight leading to the combine this might be a concern. Ta'amu can explode off the ball on the snap and eat up double teams. He can pay the 3-4 NT or the 1 technique in the 4-3 shooting the gap. Ideally Ta'amu should be effective in getting Hamptin some rest while keeping Timmons, Hightower and Foote clean.
Round 2, Pick #63-
Amini Silatolu, OG Midwestern State-
The 6'4" 311lbs Silatolu is a very interesting prospect from a Division II Midwestern. He has great athleticism for his size, good power and a very good nastiness to his play. He can effectively get out in from of the screen pass and shows the athleticism to pull.Yes there are questions about the level of competion and when Kevin Colbert was asked about Silatolu he said this
"Any small-school guy, they have to prove they can do it at the next level because we can't see them. They're missing a step along the way. The further down you go in college football - Division III, II, I - the harder it is to prove you're worthy of NFL competition because you're not at that level as you're preparing for the next step."
I don't know but it sounds to me like Colbert is a little impressed that someone form such a small school is being talked about so high. He is going to be a very good guard in the NFL mark my words.
Round 4, Pick #120-
Brandon Taylor, SS Louisiana State University-
Taylor is 5'11" 209lbs safety from LSU. He is a former cornerback in high school and you can tell fromthe film and in the combine drills. He has good feet in his drops and good athleticism to run side line to side line. Taylor is a decent tackler and is not afraid to put his head down and make a hit. He can play the slot in the nickel or deep. He is also good at playing in the box. Taylor has good enough ball skills to play FS and has the mentality to be a SS. Either way he can help the Steelers add to their depth. Being form LSU might also help him with chemistry with Ryan Clark.
Round 5, Pick #152-
Justin Bethel, CB Presbyterian-
So when watching the Combine I noticed this CB prospect long built with very good footwork in every drill he ran. I had heard of this prospect so I went to look up more. Turns out this 6' 200lbs prospect out of Presbyterian has been very good for his school. Her ran a 4.53 40 yard dash, had a 6.79 3 cone drill and an amazing 39.5" vertical. Those measurements are very good but he also has 32 3/8" arms great for a corner. Bethel fits the mold as the ideal CB for the Steelers system. He dominated the WR in his small college and looked goo at the East-West Shrine game. His measurable attributes are good and has a smooth back pedal and footwork. He can be a possible safety prospect or corner and could be a gem in the draft.
Round 6, Pick #184-
Lamar Holmes, OT Southern Mississippi-
Holmes is a 6'5" 323lbs OT that fits the Steelers mold for a tackle. He displays an ideal body size for an NFL tackle and a good pop in the running game. He looks quick enough to pass block but get high very easily. He has a natural strength and good power. His feet will go dead and his technique need major work. Based of body type he can be someone to come into camp and compete for a back-up OT spot most likely a RT.
Round 7, Pick #216-
Micheal Smith RB, Utah State-
Overlooked by many because of the talent in front of him Smith is a very good running back. He is 5'8" and ripped at 208lbs. He can return kicks and run the ball. He runs with power behind his pads. At the All-Star Classic he had an 80 yard touchdown. He looks explosive as well. He has all the ability to play the game and I would look into drafting this kid if not only as a camp body for depth at RB.
Round 7, Compensatory Pick #1-
Greg Zuerlein K, Missouri Western State-
The Steelers will definitely get at least one compensatory pick. They will need to replace Shuan Shuisham who is not reliable, has a weak leg and is making good money, Greg Zuerlein hit an amazing 23 of his 24 FG attempts. That includes 21 straight while nine of those 21 were from 50+ yards. He has amazing range and accuracy. In the East-West Shrine game he hit a 35 yarder that sailed over the up-rights. He did a nice job on an on-side kick and kick a kickoff that landed 8 yards deep. Not only did it land that deep but when it got to the return man it had so much air that the return team was already at the 25 yard line. From 2007-2011 he was 59 of 74 with a career FG% of 79.73%. He season longs were 43 in 2007, 48 in 2008, 53 in 2009 and 58 in 2011 which he did twice in the same game. Did I mention that in the game where he kicked 2 from 58 yards it was his first full week back from injury and he said he wasn't 100%. He said his range is about 65 yards. He has a monster leg here is a video link to under the up-rights when he kicked his 58 yarder,http://youtu.be/8WZWsyoGGic .You can clearly see it could have been good from much farther away. He had a hip issue in 2010 but looked good in 2011 and I don't want to miss him so I'll take him here. He seems fairly unknown and could be a UDFA but why take that chance
In this draft the Steelers are getting a replacement for James Farrior at ILB, a solid NT prospect, a very good guard prospect, an interesting safety prospect, an OT for depth and a RB with skill to go to camp. They hit all their major needs while getting talent.Let me know what you think about the draft below.

David Cameron: 'We will do everything in our power to ensure justice is done'
Prime Minister David Cameron says he is 'deeply saddened' by news of the three soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
– David Cameron
I am deeply saddened by the appalling news that three British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan. My heart goes out to their families. The suspected perpetrator is in custody and we will do everything in our power, with the Afghan National Security Forces, to ensure that justice is done. This tragic incident again demonstrates the very real risks that our brave soldiers face every day. We will do everything possible to find out how this happened, and learn any lessons for the future.

Hi! I just noticed that the widget for Twitter is not working anymore. I read several times here on the board that you are working on a new widget. Is it available yet? And if so, where can I get it?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi, currently it is not available yet, but yes, the new Twitter widget will be available in a new update for Prestige soon.
I tried with custom settings for post: Post video URL / Shortcode: (Width: 600px, to read how to insert videos or shortcode go the documentation) but it's not working, should i use shortcode or something else?
thanks J
A shortcode is not needed for video post/news. To create a post with YouTube or Vimeo video like the example links you just insert the video embed code into field titled as "Post video URL / Shortcode:" – this option you will find in Custom Post Settings when you edit a post (in the same way you can create video news post, but for video news post you need also add a main image that will be used for thumbnail on main page news page).
I am very interested in purchasing your theme. I see a lot of questions that exist, I just want to be sure that if I purchase your theme and have a question that it will be answered.
Hello, thank you for your interest. Yes, you won't be left without answer if you will have any questions.
Okay, I like your theme, but here is my dilemma, I need to be able to show a category based thumbnail of recent posts, short excerpt from the post, maybe even the rating stars on the homepage. If this is something possible with the theme please feel free to PM/email me. I don't see that capability, if the theme has that please let me know…and you will have a sell.
I am not sure how you see this – you mean some layout that is presented in our Live Preview demo site, or something completely different? There is a recent news shortcode presented on this page: http://digitalcavalry.com/themeforest/live/wp/prestige_dark/, but this is possible currently for news posts. You mean something like this, or maybe some multiple column / wall layout?
Okay on this page: http://digitalcavalry.com/themeforest/live/wp/prestige_dark/2010/09/19/related-posts-dcs_related_posts/ you have the ability to display related posts. If there were someway to display a thumbnail, title, maybe that rating system as well, short excerpt…etc. that would be ballgame!
as for the wrong link, it was just a link to the dark homepage, but some comma at the end is braking it…
In regards to the dcs_related_posts – this shortcode works only on a post page, or with a connection to post ID (displays related posts based on tags). So currently I think you can't use it like you want. However I think I understand better now what you mean. I am not sure, but we will check if for the coming update it is possible to use the dcs_related_posts shortcode just to display recent posts with an excerpt. Not sure if we can do something with the ratting stars in this case.
What can I use on the homepage similar to that? Do you have so much as ANY solution to this?
Currently there is no ready solution for this kind of layout like you described. Maybe we will add something with future update – I will look if we can add a new shortcode, but can't promise it at this moment.
I would like to know if it is possible to use Japanese Cufon,how to get it where to put it and finally being able to see the Headers ?
The second way how to disconnect Cufon and if i would be able to use japanese now ?
Is there any other good solution to my problem ? I want to have english / japanese site…. Thank you
Yes, I think it would be possible to use Japanese Cufon font, but I am not 100% sure if this is allowed. Here is a short instruction what you need to do for this:
Missing characters usually are a problem of Cufon font file, if it is generated without some special characters. For example, when you generate a js font file for Cufon with this generator: http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/, you can select there some various glyphs so all the latin special characters will be included in the file generated for Cufon or the Cyrillic Alphabet. We usually don't select all latin characters and other glyps, because it makes the font big and affects the loading speed.
A solution (if the original font has these characters) is to generate again a file for Cufon using the original font file, and select the right latin / cyrillic options. For example if someone needs cyrillic alphabet, and the original font has these characters, then the solution is to generate the file again with the generator and Cyrillic Alphabet option selected…
To add a new Cufon font file for Prestige, first you must generate a Cufon font file using this generator: http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/. Here is also an instruction for this:http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/the-easiest-way-to-use-any-font-you-wish/.
Then you select glyphs alphabet option in this generator before creating the font JS file. After the file is generated, you can just upload it inside "font" folder located in Prestige theme folder and you will be able to select this font in Prestige > General section after refreshing the admin page. After this you should see all your missing characters and text (if Cufon allows to display Japanese which I am not sure). I am also not sure how big (heavy) will be the Cufon file with all these characters included – it might take some time to load it if it will be really big.
----------- Turn Off Cufon ----------
The instruction about how to turn off Cufon you will find in Quick Start and FAQs (PDF file) in part: 2.9.8. How to turn off Cufon for Prestige theme. After this a default font will be used only, so it should be also a good solution if you don't need to use Cufon.
This should help.
Thank you ! I found that one of fancy headers support Japanese,but then i had to manually change size ! Interesting !
I could not find these in the CMS-PHP folder
Thank you in advance
Hello, as for the first part, you must make this change in contact.php file located in the main theme folder (in this file title line is defined: "PLEASE USE THE FORM BELOW TO CONTACT US"). For the second part, search for text "
view project" in these 2 files: project-portfolio.php and taxonomy-project_cat.php
Perfect Thank you very much !
Another thing, I used in another website the captcha from Google and gravity forms and it works perfectly. I've read a comment a few days ago about it !
Thanks for the information.
Can we expect any updates on this theme?
Any new feature or loading speed improvements?
Also a plugin (like newsletter), which will autosend emails when a newspost is posted.
Hello, yes, a new update for Prestige theme will be released soon. More details about what was changed or new will be available after the release.
thnx…waiting for it
When i transferred all of my wp-content files and exported my .xml file from my current host and moved it to the new host, everything worked fine except the theme settings were all lost. How can i back these up from my current site to get them to the new site? Where are the theme settings located? Thanks!
All the CMS settings are saved in the database in wp_options table – records with the theme settings start with PRESTIGE_ name. If you want to move all the settings you must copy also the database data where these settings are saved.
Hello, I want to add RSS feed (www.mysite.com/feed/) for news articles. Now its working only for blog articles. How can I do that? Thanks for help
There was some solution for this posted close to the bottom of comments page 35 in Digitalrage comment, but you can also take a look at the bottom of page 94 and check funcrusher solution – I think the second one was the better solution. This might help for the News RSS.
Thanks for your reply.
Is it possible to integrate facebook comments into website?
Thanks for your reply…
We didn't tested it but this probably needs some additional adjustment because I think someone already asked about integrating this earlier.
Hope it comes in the next update
I have a small problem…the contact page doesn't work for me.
This means…if i fill the form and click send, it shows:
The message wasn't sent, please try again later.
My email Provider is Google Mail email@example.com
It might be one of a few reasons, but you can check first if the email address is correct – in section: Prestige > General > Contact Page.
Then you can also check if it is not caused by some non Prestige plugin (besides NGG) by deactivating the non Prestige plugin if there is any, but I think this is not the reason.
Another thing – you can try to redownload the ZIP file from Theme Forest with the Prestige theme and replace the sendmessage.php file located in "php" folder and also contact.php file located in theme folder. A few clients had a problem with some extra spaces in these files and it was causing a problem.
If this won't help, it might be also caused by some server settings. Maybe you must update something on your server.
Its working again i just use the code dcs_contact….
I have another question,but it's not related to any problem. Is it possible to use some kind of Blog Editor software with your theme ? For MAC of course….And how to include post then? Will I be able to use short codes same way ? Thank you !
Hello, I am not exactly sure what you mean by additional blog editor software, but we didn't tested any additional blog software.
I've the calendar problem after 3.5 Update.
Can you provide a fix?
Please send us an email using contact form in our Theme Forest profile and I will send you a simple fix for this right away – it will be also included in an update soon.
Sent yesterday. Still waiting for reply.
I sent you an email with the instruction twice – first time I received an email with mail delivery problem, so I think you will also not get the second one and we will have the same message on mailbox soon. Maybe the mailbox is full or it is some problem with your email.
Can you send us an other email address via the contact form and I will send you a solution on the other email?
Please try again. There was a problem with the mx record of my domain name.
OK, thanks for the information. I just sent you the email.
I really love this theme (prestige). I also have purchased S&I2, which is like this ones older brother. I have built a video gallery like in the demo site… it works in everything but IE9. Lightbox opens but nothing plays (even in compatibility mode in browser). Can you help with a code fix? I wouldn't care but IE has like 87% market share.
Please help!
The lightbox should work fine in IE9. I just tested it again on our test site and its working and also the videos are working good in lightbox in IE9. Maybe it is something related to your installation – you can check if you are not using some non Prestige plugin that has own lightbox which replaces the original theme functionality. You can also send us a link to your site here or on email (using contact form in our TF profile) and I will take a look. Thanks!
Hello DC
My site takes upto 7 seconds, to load the mainpage. First i thought it's happening, because my site is on shared server, then for testing purpose i also installed my site with same backup of my site to a dedicated server. There the site loading is slow too. Used latest Chrome, Firefox, Chrome is little faster than others….
I don't have many plugins activated (5).
Do the others have same slow loading? Can u check my site once? Can i PM or write you my site name via Email?
Hello, as for the speed of the site it depends on a few factors, like theme features, content on page, server or what kind of plugins you are using. In regards to theme, there are some way to optimize the files, like for example removing the CSS code that is not used on your site, but it might be complicated, it must be done for specific site and depends on what features you are using.
Yes, you can send us link to your site and I will take a look how it loads for us (you can use contact form in our Theme Forest profile to send us an email).
how to make news pagination on home page like in example?
I tried [dcs_recent_news count="5" paged="true"], but if I click on page 2, I get error 404 page not found.
Thanks for help
It should work just like this. You can check if you have created a page with Homepage template and set it as "A Static Page: Front Page" in section Settings > Reading. In this section for "Posts page" no page should be selected. Also, go to Settings > Permalinks and make sure option "Day and Name" is selected and click on "Save Changes" button.
If this won't help, then it might be something caused by non Prestige plugin (if you use any besides NGGallery, then you can try to deactivate it in Plugins and check if this helps).
If you will still have this problem after checking this, maybe you can send us access to your WP admin (using contact form in our TF profile) and I will take a look on this.
Now it works, but only with permalinks with default option (?paged=2) :/
I would need to take a look on this. Maybe you can send us an email (using contact form in our TF profile) with access data and I will check this?
I bought this theme some time ago now and have had no problems whatsoever until now. For some unknown reason, all news posts and news tags lead to a 404 page. I can still view the list of news posts in the news page, but when clicking on any news post to go to the specific page, or by clicking any news tag, the problem occurs. Any ideas? Thank you.http://www.astateoftrance.co.uk/news/
First you can check if in Settings > Permalinks option "Day and Name" is selected – this is needed for News functionality.
If this wont help, I think it might be caused by some non Prestige plugin. You can check this by deactivating the non Prestige plugins (besides NextGEN Gallery).
You can also send us an email (using contact form in our TF profile) and I will send you back a solution for the News archive calendar that is open when you visit the page (it will be also included with the next update).
Thanks for your quick reply. unfortunately none of the above has worked. I disabled every single plugin excluding the DC plugins, changed the permalinks and still no joy. I'll send an email with a temp admin access if you can have a look please.
Kind regards
Problem has been solved via email. Many thanks for your help!
Kind regards
I use one the 404 plugin, and captured on every single page load a css fault log: "missing" 1. /wp-content/themes/Prestige/img/backgrounds/Background_addPages-top.jpg 2. /wp-content/themes/Prestige/img/backgrounds/Background_footer_BrownLeather.jpg 3. /wp-content/themes/Prestige/img/backgrounds/LeatherBusiness_DarkLeather&Wood_addPages.jpg
I checked the folders, this "backround" folder not even exist, but in common.css :
html, body { background-position: 50% 0%; height:auto; background-color: RGB ; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image:url(../img/backgrounds/Background_addPages-top.jpg); background-image: url(../img/backgrounds/LeatherBusiness_DarkLeather&Wood_addPages.jpg); margin:auto; margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px; color:#68C4F2; font: normal 11px/17px Verdana;
How can I fix it?
I create a folder-ok, but what to put inside? skin jpg pictures?
Thank you
Open common.css file located in "css" folder and remove the lines with background-image properties from the body,html CSS right at the top and also from the #footer ID (to find it just search for "body" and "#footer" text in this file). And that's all. These lines are not needed because background images are assigned by the skin feature.
If I do not want to use any of the skins, may I use my own custom background. If so, please advise how.
Also, I have read the documentation, but do not quite understand how to get the homepage posts to appear as excerpts like in the demo.
Please help. (toppbottom.com)
Thank you.
Hello, for the background you can modify one of the existing skins, or create a new skin. Here is an instruction that should help you with this:
You can create a custom skin for Prestige theme by adding a new folder with some name into "skins" folder. In this folder you must have home.jpg, page.jpg, and footer.jpg files. And also home2.jpg if you want a different background for bigger homepage sliders (like Accordion).
You will see how skin is constructed after you will open one of the folders located in "skins" folder.
When you will add a new folder with some name to this "skins" folder, and in this folder you will have images with the proper names, you will be able to select this new skin automatically in Prestige > General section.
For the posts you must have some posts created with the use of more tag inside the content and then on the homepage you use dcs_recent_posts shortcode. For News posts on homepage, you must have some news created in separate "News" section and then you place dcs_recent_news shortcode on the homepage. This is described with more details in Quick Start and FAQs (PDF file) in part:
2.2.2. How to create homepage layout with recent news or recent posts
This should help, but let us know if you will have more question about this.
I have the recent posts on the home page. What I question is how you were able to simply show the thumbnail to the right of the excerpt info for each post.
I think you write about news posts – small thumbnails layout is currently available only for the News posts. With the update there will be a new shortcode to display also the standard posts with this layout on homepage, but currently you can do this only with News posts that you create in News section.

The Knicks lost four games during the regular season when Carmelo Anthony shot 50% or more from the field. In game two against the Indiana Pacers, Carmelo Anthony shot 13/26 which is 50% from the field and not surprisingly the Knicks came away with the victory. Before game two, the last time Melo shot more than 50% from the field was almost a month ago, April 12 verses the Cavilers in a 101-91 win.
Melo shot 50% for the first time all postseason, and what in previous games was bad shots, became extra passes or shots in the paint. Melo was quick off the dribble in game two, and drove by Pacers power forward David West on multiple occasions taking advantage of his speed mismatch.
By stark comparison fellow 2003 draftee, and four time NBA MVP LeBron James has shot less than 35% only twice all season. Melo has already done that three times this postseason. In Game four, five and six against the Celtics, Anthony shot less than 35% and in game one of the Pacers vs Knicks series he shot 35% exactly.
In the three Celtics games in which Melo shot less than 35%, the Knicks lost two of them, and in game one of the Pacers vs Knicks series the Knicks lost as well.

Will India Choose Erdogan's Path?
Doug Saunders, Globe and Mail
The Associated Press
Your country, which is large, important and troubled but no longer trapped in poverty, is facing a historic election. On the ballot before you are two choices. The first choice is the ruling party, which has governed for decades and is justifiably revered for its secularism and its role in modernizing your country. But in recent years, it has become corrupt, insular and economically illiterate, and its new leaders look even worse.

Members Beware
Members continue to report being targeted with a telephone scam involving buying a MoneyPack. An individual pretending to be from Aiken Electric calls and tells the member that their service will be disconnected unless payment is made right away. Even when the member says they paid, the scammer reports that the co-op billing system did not process their payment and they need to make another payment by purchasing a Money Pack, call the number provided by the scammer and give the receipt and access numbers. The scammer then has access to the Money Pack account and takes the money.
Aiken Electric NEVER asks members to buy a Money Pack and members ALWAYS receive several notices prior to disconnection. If you are contacted with a threat of disconnection and suspect it may be a scam, call the co- op to verify and, also, report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement. Thank you.
Teaching children all about the power of electricity
ELECTRICITY IS A DYNAMIC power source. We live our lives surrounded by it, but sometimes we forget just how dangerous electricity can be. Many home electrical fires, injuries and electrocutions can be prevented when we understand and practice electrical safety. This is especially true for our youngest co-op members.
Throughout the year, Aiken Electric offers many value-added benefits to help teach youngsters about electricity. Our Safety Magic Show each March enlightens area first-graders to the dangers of electricity through humor and slight of hand.
Next month, we will also be assisting our educators. In an effort to help K-8 teachers instruct students about energy and the environment, Aiken Electric Cooperative is hosting a free half-day workshop. It's part of enLIGHTenSC, a K-12 energy and economic education program developed by S.C. electric co-ops and aligned to state education standards. Workshop participants receive four credit renewal points and access to grade-appropriate lessons and activities. The workshop will be held September 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the co-op, 2790 Wagener Road, Aiken and lunch will be provided. Register at enLIGHTenSC.org. A $25 refundable deposit is required.
Your cooperative is dedicated to assisting teachers and students to better our communities. We're looking out for you.

America and the Arab Spring
Mr. Mohamed Elmenshawy
Director of the Languages and Regional Studies Program
Middle East Institute
June 28, 2011 Interview Synopsis
Mr. Elmenshawy said that a revolution in Egypt was unexpected up until the fall of the Ben Ali regime in Tunisia, but the collapse of such a strong model of the security apparatus state signaled that revolution was possible anywhere. Mr. Elmenshawy thinks that the role of social media in the Arab Spring has been somewhat exaggerated because of Egypt's low online and literacy rates. But he explained that social media helped to break a significant barrier in Arab culture—the tradition of interacting, doing business, and forming relationships only with people that one has met in person before. Essentially, social media "started the revolution, but did not continue or end it."
Mr. Elmenshawy drew an interesting analogy between the Muslim Brotherhood and the American 'Tea Party' political movement in so far as both are attractive to largely apolitical constituencies motivated to a large degree by religious conservatism. He believes that the concern about the Brotherhood is overblown, as they have de-radicalized and become more of a civil society organization, but he did say that they will assuredly have the largest voting bloc in the new parliament. Mr. Elmenshawy expressed concern about the establishment of a sound Bill of Rights for the Egyptian people because of the state's poor track record in that area.
Mr. Elmenshawy argued that the United States was neither too late nor too early in endorsing the Egyptian revolution; he respected the Administration's hesitancy because it kept Mubarak from hysterically claiming 'foreign conspiracy.' But he warned that the United States must "align itself with the will of the people" to perpetuate good relations. He denounced civil society training programs because Egyptians see these groups as interfering in Egyptian affairs, but he strongly supported a free trade agreement for economic development. He said the people of the Middle East do not see U.S. support of dictators as playing a 'stabilizing' role, and emphasized that policymakers must work to redeem themselves from the policies of their predecessors.

Thirty years after his death, on August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley still holds sway -- earning $42 million last year in marketing and product licensing, welcoming millions of visitors to Graceland, his Memphis home, and still popping up on the record charts now and then. But where the King of Rock and Roll proves most unforgettable is in the hearts of the women who loved and worked with him. Here, seven of them share their memories of the Elvis you never knew.June Juanico, early girlfriend
Elvis was the love of my life. I met him in the summer of '55, when he was just a regional star. I was 17 and he was 20. He had been in my hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi, several times before, and people said, "You need to see him," and I went on this one night. I thought he was the most gorgeous thing: big, dreamy eyes. Girls were screaming over him, and I'm just not that kind. I was passing by him, not even looking at him, and he reached through the crowd and grabbed my arm. He said, "Where are you going?"
What I remember most about that night was sitting in his car outside my house, just talking, while my mother kept an eye out to see what I was doing. The first thing I said was, "What is your real name?" I had never heard of a name like Elvis. And he said, "What do you mean my real name? My name is Elvis Aaron Presley." We sat there until the sun came up at 6 a.m. He was shocked because my parents were divorced. He thought marriage was a lifelong thing, and when he got married, it was going to be forever. And he told me all about his twin who was dead at birth. I'd never met anybody quite like him.
We got so wrapped up in kissing on our very first date -- nothing too sloppy, it was just marvelous -- a little pecking here and there, a nibble here and there, then a serious bite.
But I didn't hear from him for a while after that. It turned out he was calling and my older brother wasn't bothering to tell me. Finally, he said, "Some guy with a hillbilly accent called."
For the one and a half years I dated him, our relationship remained chaste. He was just very tender and considerate. We spent so much time together, and we started talking about marriage. Mrs. Presley liked me. She saw me as domestic and wise for my young years. She was always telling me that Elvis needed someone to take care of him.
But Elvis was becoming more famous, and [manager] Colonel Tom Parker wanted him linked with actresses and Vegas showgirls. Of course, Elvis liked legs that went on for days, and he brought one of those showgirls home for Christmas in '56. That did it for me. I decided to marry someone else. And Elvis said the Colonel said we couldn't get married, that he wouldn't dare do that to the Colonel.
The next time I saw him was in a movie theater in Memphis in the early '60s. I went down the row behind him and tapped him on the back, and he turned around and our eyes just locked. He got up and put me in a death grip. One of his guys ran over because he thought someone was abusing Elvis. But Elvis was holding on to me. Priscilla was sitting next to him, and she was very gracious. She kept her eyes glued to the screen.
In August 1977, my mother was at my house. I had laid down for a nap, and when I came out of my bedroom my mother was looking at me really strange. Finally, she said, "June!" She had tears in her eyes. She said, "I just heard on the television that Elvis Presley has died." I looked at her and said, "That can't be! That can't be!" I went over to the television and fell to my knees in front of it. I couldn't breathe. I honestly think if my mother had not been with me, I might have died. In my heart, I always thought Elvis and I would be together somewhere down the road. I was married for 36 years, and I've got two beautiful children and beautiful grandchildren. I've been blessed in many ways. But I have just never been able to stop loving Elvis.
In July '55, I'd just graduated from high school. I already had a couple of hit songs in the country music field, and Bob Neal, the talent agent who also managed Elvis before Colonel Parker, said, "I'm booking a young man named Elvis Presley who is getting popular real fast, and we could use a girl on the show." I had no idea who he was. I met him at the radio station in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, that afternoon, and I was quite impressed -- a real handsome guy. He was dressed a little flashier than the guys dressed back home in Oklahoma City -- yellow coat, for example -- and when he left the station I saw him get into a pink Cadillac. That was before the days of Mary Kay, and I had never seen a pink car before. We worked together that night. I was in my dressing room, and Elvis was going on, and all of a sudden my dad and I started hearing this screaming. My daddy said, "I wonder if there's a fire or something. Let me go look." I started getting my things, and he came back and said, "No, relax. But you've got to see this for yourself." He took me to the wings, and there was Elvis singing and moving and gyrating, and all these girls standing at the foot of the stage, screaming and reaching for him. It was quite an unusual sight for those days. And when the rest of the nation started giving him havoc, it really upset him. Mostly if they said anything too bad, he got mad, because in his mind he was having fun. I don't think he was trying to be vulgar. He was just being flirty with the girls.
We dated off and on for a little over a year on the tours. If we could get in a town early, and it was large enough to have a movie theater, we'd go to a matinee, and then after a show we'd go out to eat, usually with the other musicians and my daddy. Then sometimes we'd get a hamburger and just drive around the town and talk. We had a lot in common. He was a little older, and his career was beginning to blossom, and mine was, too. He was just a fine person. He loved to have fun and he laughed all the time. He didn't take himself seriously.
What was really sweet was the fact that he wanted to see me do good in my career. And he was just really eager that I try this kind of music like he was doing [rockabilly]. I'd say, "But Elvis, I'm just a country singer. I can't sing songs like that." He said, "You can, too. You've just gotta try."
In the early part of '56, he gave me one of his rings, a man's ring. It had little chipped diamonds. He wasn't very rich at that point. We were in Shreveport, Louisiana, and we'd done a matinee show, and he asked me if I'd step outside. We stood by his car, and he asked me if I'd be his girl. He'd just turned 21, and I was still 18. I had a crush on him, and being able to know him and know his heart made me admire him a lot. So I said I'd be his girl, and he gave me his ring. I wore it for about a year. Of course, this was before he met Priscilla. The last tour I worked with him was in January of '57, and after that he went to Hollywood to start his movie career. I think his head was just in a spin.
Roustabout in 1964 was my very first film in Hollywood. I was a bit player in the opening moments. Like many adolescents of the '50s, I had been completely gaga over Elvis. I saw him live in San Diego in one of his early shows. It was my first rock 'n' roll music concert ever. That was the first time that I ever conjured up what a sexy guy could be.
But when I saw him on the set of Roustabout, I was a little bit taken aback because something had changed about him. It seemed like he was more packaged. His clothes were not the same, his hair was obviously dyed now, and it was all sprayed into place. It was a little shocking to me because it was a whitewashed, cleaned-up Elvis. They took all the sex out of him!
He had these buddies, this group of guys that hung out with him, and you had to go through them to get to him. There was no such thing as walking up to Elvis on a set. At one point, one of his guys came over and said, "Elvis is having a little party at the house, and if you'd like to come up...." And I thought, What? I wasn't sure if the invitation was from Elvis or from them, using Elvis. I had had a very strict upbringing, and I didn't like the setup, so I didn't go. I had a feeling that Elvis related so much more to men than women. I think he certainly liked women, but I just don't think he knew how to have a real relationship with one. He was a guy's guy.
Years later, about 1972, I had a contract to perform at the Las Vegas Hilton, and lo and behold, Elvis came in right after me. At his show he was dressed all in white, with bellbottoms with a little gold slit on the side, and a lot of jewelry and brocade coming down on his jacket and a high-neck collar. He looked almost like Liberace. I went to his dressing room, and he was very sweet, very nice, and he showed me all his jewelry. But he didn't seem to be really happy in his eyes.
Elvis and I felt a common bond, coming from Mississippi. He thought I understood him. He didn't have to put on airs with me, and I wasn't after anything. This is an odd thing to say about Elvis Presley, but it was like I was working with my brother. We never dated. We were just two people from the same state. The first day I came on the set of Girl Happy, in 1964, Elvis stood up and said, "Where is Mary Ann's chair?" All of a sudden a chair appeared with my name on it. That was the beginning of our friendship. I was 25 and he was 29. He and I would talk, and he asked me did I ever wonder about things that happened in my life. I said all the time. And he said, "Well, I do, too, especially about why I lived and my twin, Jessie Garon, didn't."
I think he put women in two categories. You were either one of the girls, or you were a lady. Once Priscilla had Lisa Marie in 1968, she became a Madonna figure for him. And I think that may be one reason why they split up. In Mississippi he was taught to be kind and take care of ladies, and then he had the other constantly thrown at him.
He used to say to me, "Mary Ann, one day I'm going to have a party I can invite you to." I took that as a compliment. And I never will forget, once one of the boys said "damn" in front of me, and Elvis said, "You never cuss in front of a lady."
Elvis would joke about the movies. When we were making Harum Scarum, he said, "This isn't going to change history, is it?" The sad thing is that Elvis was a better actor than the movies allowed him to be. He could have been great. I was told that much earlier, when Elvis was dating Natalie Wood, the director Elia Kazan offered him the lead opposite Natalie in Splendor in the Grass. And Colonel Tom refused.
Elvis invited my husband, Gary Collins, and me to come to Las Vegas for one of his openings in the '70s, and we went backstage. He was into the metaphysical, willing objects to move, that sort of thing. I was worried about it, but I thought, If that works for him. He was reading books, looking for answers.
People can say what they want about him shooting up TV sets, but I think he was depressed. And he was hooked on prescription drugs. It went on too long before anybody really knew he had a problem. He loved Southern food like I do. And he'd have to lose weight to get ready for the movies, and I think every doctor wanted to be Elvis' doctor, so no one said no to him about prescriptions. If one doctor said no, he'd find another one.
I wish that my husband and I had made more of an effort to seek him out as time went on. I think had there been someone to help him, he wouldn't have given up. I think he just got tired, and whatever kept him going before finally shut off. The medication that he was giving himself kicked in, and maybe he was tired of monitoring it, and just said, "Let whatever's going to happen happen."
Sometimes Elvis was like the devil to me, because I knew the power he had over everybody who worked for him, including my husband. Billy was his first cousin, but he was more like his brother. Elvis couldn't live without Billy. Part of it was the connection to Elvis' mother, Gladys, I guess, because Billy was close to her. When he took him on trips, it was like he was taking him from me. When our first child was born, Elvis wouldn't let Billy come home. And I didn't understand that. When my second son was born, Elvis let Billy stay back for two days. Then I didn't see him again for three months.
This is a situation that all the wives of the guys who worked for Elvis went through. We threw rocks at the tour bus and wished them all dead. Elvis used to comment on how close Billy and I were. I think he wanted a similar lifestyle. But he wanted the closeness to be just on the wife's part. He never grew up. He didn't pay a lot of attention to Lisa. He didn't like to be bothered with children because he was too much of a child himself. And when she came to visit, somebody else watched her. He was protective, and he loved Lisa, but he had big things to do.
He loved you to talk babytalk to him, and we had to take care of him and cater to him like a small child. I did things I never thought I'd do -- he liked to be put to bed and be told good night, the whole send-off. If you'd get up to leave the room, he'd say, "Where are you going? Come back here." He wanted you to stay until he fell asleep. Linda [Thompson] watched over him like a baby. She lotioned him and bathed him and gave him medicine.
I don't know how she did it. He was so strong in so many ways, and if you were with him, you felt safe. But in other ways, he was like a little kid. He was such a contradiction. He was very deep into his religion, from the way he was brought up. But as selfless as he was in religion, he always had to be number one in everything else. One time, everybody wanted to go bowling. So Elvis rented Bowlhaven Lanes, right down the street from Graceland. I don't guess he'd ever been bowling. Billy had been on a team, and several of the other guys had gone bowling in California, so they were pretty good. And Elvis wasn't good at all. He guttered, and he tried to throw the ball too hard. So that's the last time we ever went bowling. If he couldn't be the best at whatever we did, we didn't do it anymore.
Elvis was a very tender soul. He had such a good heart. We literally bought out a pet shop one night. Elvis paid for about 20 dogs, just gave them out to his friends. And we kept this chow, little Get-Low. He was a beautiful dog, but Elvis was going to get rid of him because we read an article that said chows turn on their masters 80 percent of the time. Elvis said, "I don't want to have to be worried about leaving this dog with you, or come home and find you have to have plastic surgery." But I said, "Oh, give the little fella a chance. He may turn out all right." So I raised him, and he turned out to be as gentle as a kitten. He was our sweetheart. But he had a congenital kidney ailment. I don't know if that made him so lethargic he didn't feel like being mean, but he had a wonderful disposition.
About three o'clock one morning, Get- Low was acting really strange, so we had a doctor come over. He said, "I don't think the dog will make it through the night." So Elvis leased a Learjet and flew Get-Low, my girlfriend and me, and the doctor up to Boston to a special clinic for kidney dialysis. We left him up there for about three months. But he didn't live long after that. He was only about a year old. We were on tour when he died, and we were coming home on his plane when they told us. Elvis just cried.
I was with him for four and a half years, from 1972 to 1976. He surrounded himself with people whom he loved and trusted, because he was so secluded from the world, and so sheltered. But a lot of people got very greedy. I think that's one reason Elvis felt lonely at times, he realized that even if they cared about him, they still lost sight of him as a human being. He would get depressed because he felt people didn't love him for being the simple person he was. They forgot about him as just a regular person with feelings like all of us.
I think it's a terrible thing for people to say they couldn't imagine Elvis growing old. Everybody has that right, even if they're a sex symbol. He wanted to live to be an old man. He wanted to see Lisa have children, and he wanted to see his grandchildren. He had no idea he would die so young.
One morning at about seven we were lying in bed, and I felt something wasn't right. His breathing was strange. I shook him, and I said, "Honey, are you okay?" And he said, "I can't get my breath!" He had pneumonia. I called for the nurse, and she brought some oxygen over, and we had to rush him to the hospital. I stayed with him for two and a half weeks. Whenever he went to the hospital, I went to the hospital. So it was "we" went to the hospital.
Elvis needed more love and care than anybody I've ever met. Probably more than anybody in this world ever has. Because he was who he was, and what he was, and yet he had come from obscurity, from Tupelo, Mississippi, and poor parents. And he did enjoy having a mother image around him. But I think it's wonderful if you can be all things to each other. And he and I were. He called me "Mommy." And he was like my father at times. And we were like brother and sister at times, and we were like lovers at times. It was a full, rich relationship. For a long time, we didn't need anybody else, really. I truly, truly loved him, and I wouldn't have cared if he were John Doe. I loved him as a human soul. He was really a wonderful person. We often thought it would be fun to just go away and live in a little shack on a farm and just forget fame and fortune and all the craziness that goes with it.
Everybody blames the Colonel for working Elvis too hard. But the Colonel got mixed signals from Elvis on how much to tour, because Elvis would say, "I'm tired, I want to take some time off." And then at the same time he would say, "I'm home for two weeks and I'm bored. I have nothing to do." So the Colonel would go ahead and book shows, and then Elvis would end up tired. But then he'd say, "People have waited 20 years to see me, so I can't disappoint them." Or, "I have 300 people working for me. Their families depend on me working."
My last in-depth conversation with Elvis was just a few weeks before he died. I remember he said, "Kathy, what's it all about?" And I said, "I think that is for you to find out for yourself." He laughed and said, "That's the same answer I would have given you." And then he said, "People aren't going to remember me. I've never done anything lasting. I've never done a classic film. What can I do?" I said, "You've already done it. Just rest." He started talking about writing a book called Through My Eyes, and he talked about maybe producing.
At one of his last concerts, in Rapid City, South Dakota, there was a blue suit hanging on the wall that he was going to have to wear, and he was afraid he would look big in it. He said, "I'm going to look fat in that little suit, but I'll look good in my coffin." I didn't say anything because I knew that it was inevitable and could happen at any moment.

It doesn't happen a lot, but it's enough to get your attention.
Since 1995, there have been 182 cases of athletes dying from a fatal blow to the chest and in thirty-three of those cases, they were wearing chest protection. Fourteen were goalies playing hockey and ten were playing football. Six were goalies playing lacrosse and three were catchers playing baseball.
"It's very rare but it does happen and when it does happen, it typically happens to kids or young adults who are perfectly healthy and it's a major catastrophe and if that happens then it can send the heart into a fatal arrhythmia. The heart will literally stop beating," said Dr. Michael Lauer, of the Cleveland Clinic.
The study comes from the Minneapolis Heart Institute which suggests conventional chest protectors are not stepping up to the plate. They are asking for more research to insure chest protectors work and don't slip and expose the wrong spot at the wrong time.
Remember, although it's rare, the study again says a defibrillator is key to restarting the heart when a blow to the chest makes it beat out of control.

An article about organic lasers and optical fibers co-authored by Richard Gregory, chair of the Old Dominion University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, has been selected as one of the best articles to appear during 2007 in Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied Optics.
Members of the journal's editorial board chose the article, titled "Elliptical Micro-Ring Organic Lasers," to appear in a special collection of their personal favorites in the category of "rapid communication."
Other authors of the article are P. R. Korade and John Ballato, faculty members at Clemson University's School of Materials Science and Engineering. Korade was mentored as a graduate student by Gregory.
The collection of the past year's "highlight" articles is at www.iop.org/EJ/journal/-page=extra.downloads2007/1464-4258. All papers in the collection are free to read online.
The three researchers reported in the article that elliptical organic micro-ring lasers offer increased tailorability in emission properties over more conventional analogues of circular cross-section. The article, which appeared in the June 21, 2007, issue of the journal, also discusses the potential for these low-threshold lasers to serve as integrated sources for fiber lasers and amplifiers.

Catherine De Medici, Catholic Queen Regent of France seized the opportunity to expand France's frontier in the New World. The French Huguenots, who had suffered cruel persecution by Henry II, were in need of sanctum. When Gaspard Coligny, leader of the Party, presented the option of seeking an outpost for France, Catherine was all too willing to expend the Huguenots at the prospect of seizing a share of the riches of the New World. On May 3, 1562, Jean Ribault gazed on Napoyca, a name given to Amelia Island by the Timucuan Indians, claiming it for France. He called this refuge the Isle de Mai.
