Bread Crumbs Through the Tale
11 comments:
I would be drawn in a bit more if some POV issues were resolved. We are obviously supposed to be in Moran's POV, so getting in his head closely is essential.ReplyDelete
The first two lines do that, then we have:
The boy glared down the granite steps of the church at the television news crews on the old brick sidewalk. Three cameramen, three on-air reporters.
Now we're in the boy's POV. That's what I call a "speed bump." A reader may not consciously notice it, but it takes him out of the intimacy we're trying to establish with Moran.
Slender, about five-nine, he was wearing a stiff white shirt with a polka-dot tie and a navy blue suit, the pants a little too short, Moran thought.
Now here is a chance to deepeb that intimacy, and remove the need to put "Moran thought." GIVE US THIS IN THE POV CHARACTER'S VOICE, e.g.,
The punk was skinny, maybe five-nine. Stiff shirt made him look skinnier, and what was with the polka-dot tie?
We would know this was Moran's POV and thoughts without any attribution.
Moran, maybe an inch or two shorter than the boy, in his late thirties, followed the mourners
This is a common POV mistake. Moran would not think of himself in these terms. This is the author's voice, telling us about Moran.
"Jake Moran," the reporter told him
Again, Jake would not think of himself as "the reporter."
The reporter watched him lift his bowed head and open his eyes.
Again, same thing. We are being "removed" from the heat and intimacy of Moran the character, leaving us detached. I want to be in his head all the way. I would be much more inclined to follow those "breadcrumbs" if I was invested in the character more.
My suggestion is to re-do this in close 3d Person POV, tight, and do that for the whole book.
I agree, Joe. This is a good start--strong atmosphere and sense of place. Jim's edits would greatly improve on this. The POV does tend to bounce around not knowing where to land. But the sins this author committed are so forgivable since I get the feeling there's a compelling story here and I would read on.ReplyDelete
I agree with Jim's assessment on POV, both as Joe squared have said, this is a compelling story. The author's natural instinct for bread crumb morsels makes me want to read on. The close third that Jim mentioned would make a better voice for a story that has my attention.ReplyDelete
I am really enjoying this series and learning a lot! Thanks so much for doing it.ReplyDelete
I loved this snippet and definitely want to read more. The author's talent is evident.
Good lesson in JSB's comments. I see how addressing the POV glitches could definitely make the piece stronger and make every word count.
Except for the first comment that the line about the boy glaring down the steps being in the boy's POV. I didn't read it that way. I felt I was in Moran's POV. I don't think the boy would refer to himself as the boy if we were in his head. Am I missing something?
Thanks again for sharing, author, and thank to TKZ for these posts!
You are, Sheri -- the reporter wouldn't comment on the view of the boy by specifying how many reporters he was looking at, at least not in this way. So far I agree that this is a GREAT start. POV errors aside (which are highly common for anyone), going over this in the rewrite would easily tighten this up. Kudos to the author!ReplyDelete
Great discussion, all.ReplyDelete
That POV thing rears its ugly head again.
I've found that learning to become the character as I'm writing helps with this very important issue. When I act out the scene as if I were the POV character, the issues resolve themselves, and my readers can hear my character's voice, not my author's voice.
Good points with these critiques. I love this classroom.
Good job, not much else to say that hasn't been said. I felt the chill in the building, and smoothness of the pews, and sensed a coldness among the mourners. Well written.ReplyDelete
Honestly, I was so caught up in the story that I missed the p.o.v. issue. The three-cameramen, three reporters segment at the beginning could just as easily have been interpreted as coming from Jake's p.o.v.; obviously, however, Jake wouldn't refer to himself as "the reporter," as James correctly pointed out, and all of James' notations would make for a tighter book. I think we all agree, otherwise, that this first page carries the promise of a fine tale. Well done!ReplyDelete
Oh, yeah. WHAT'S GOING ON?? I want more. Excellent writing.ReplyDelete
Thanks, everyone. The praise is heartening, and the comments are on-target and useful. — John LovellReplyDelete
I know this is probably very presumptuous, but some commenters said they'd like to read more of The Acolyte (which I am revising), so here is the rest of the first chapter: https://files.me.com/lovell/m55xp3ReplyDelete

Summary: Contract management is a critical skill for all contemporary public managers. As more government duties are contracted out, managers must learn to coordinate and measure the performance of private contractors, and to write contract requirements and elicit bids that obtain important services and products at the best possible price and quality. They must also learn to work in teams that include both public and private sector partners.The Responsible Contract Manager delves into the iss ...show moreues of how to ensure that the work done by private sector contractors serves the public interest and argues for the necessity of making these organizations act as extensions of the public sector while maintaining their private character. Government contract managers have a unique burden because they must develop practices that ensure the production advantages of networked organizations and the transparency and accountability required of the public sector.The Responsible Contract Manager fills a major gap in public management literature by providing a clear and practical introduction to the best practices of contract management and also includes a discussion of issues of public ethics, governance and representation theory. It is an essential guide for all public management scholars and is especially useful for students in MPA graduate programs and related fields. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 08

Optimism Might Cut Your Risk for Heart Attack
WEDNESDAY, April 18 (HealthDay News) -- Being upbeat is good for your heart, a new study suggests.
Many previous studies have shown that negative mental states -- such as depression, anger, anxiety and hostility -- can harm the heart.
This Harvard School of Public Health review of more than 200 studies found that positive feelings appear to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and events such as heart attack and stroke.
"The absence of the negative is not the same thing as the presence of the positive," lead author Julia Boehm, a research fellow in the department of society, human development, and health, said in a university news release. "We found that factors such as optimism, life satisfaction and happiness are associated with reduced risk of [cardiovascular disease] regardless of such factors as a person's age, socioeconomic status, smoking status or body weight."
"For example, the most optimistic individuals had an approximately 50 percent reduced risk of experiencing an initial cardiovascular event compared to their less optimistic peers," Boehm noted.
The researchers also found that people with a sense of psychological well-being engaged in healthy behaviors such as exercising, eating a balanced diet and getting sufficient sleep. In addition, greater psychological well-being was associated with lower blood pressure, healthier blood-fat status and normal body weight.
The study was published online April 17 in the journal Psychological Bulletin.
If future research confirms that higher levels of satisfaction, optimism and happiness benefit cardiovascular health, the findings could prove important in the creation of prevention and treatment strategies, the researchers said.
More than 2,200 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each day (an average of one death every 39 seconds) and stroke accounts for approximately one in 18 deaths in the United States, according to the American Heart Association.

GPS coordinates are only references and may or may not be accurate. Do not rely on GPS coordinates as the sole method of navigation. Always have an accurate, detailed map at hand and have the proper map reading and navigation skills before setting out on any hike. Many of the hikes listed in this guide travel into canyons where a GPS has limited capabilities. Always check your position with a detailed map before dropping into a canyon.
Backpacking Permit - A permit is needed for all overnight backpacks in the park as well as any trail that requires the use of technical equipment. Obtain permits at the Zion Canyon Visitors Center or by calling:

To post trip reports, offer corrections, updates, or for more information please visit the Southern Utah Forum
Suggested Equipment: Bring a sturdy pair of shoes to hike the narrows. Some hikers prefer hiking boots due to the support they give to the ankles and the cushion that helps to prevent bruising from hitting the rocks at the bottom of the river. 5-10 Canyoneers give the boot effect and work great in river conditions. Those that like low tops will enjoy a good quality rubber shoe like the La Sportiva Exum River shoes. Many like to use a sturdy hiking stick when in the Zion Narrows.
Including Water Canyon Arch
This 11 plus mile loop hike with 2900' of climbing and an equal amount of descending is a workout, but the natural beauty and adventure certainly makes the trip worth it. From the juniper speckled desert floor to ponderosa pine forests, expansive sandstone slickrock fields dotted with hoodoos, a narrow slot canyon and even a walk to an arch suspended 1000' above the canyon floor make this hike a great way to spend a day. The best time to do this loop hike is in the spring after the snow has melted or in the fall before snow has fallen. Hot summer months would be unpleasant, and snow and ice in the winter months may make hiking hazardous.

From Hildale, locate the Bank of Ephraim and the drugstore on the north of the Highway 59 and then turn north onto Utah Drive. This road travels east alongside residences and at 1.8 miles the road comes to a stop sign. Continue straight through the stop sign and the road soon steers north, meandering past more homes and barns. At 2.8 miles there will be two dirt road intersections on the right. Take the second right onto Water Canyon Road. Be aware that the road is now dirt and could be fairly rough and require a high clearance vehicle. Do not travel the road if it is wet or snow covered as the clay content in the dirt makes this road extremely slick and hazardous. At about 3.5 miles, since leaving highway 59, the intersection of Water Canyon Road and a 4WD road into Short Creek is passed. Continue left (north) and stay on the main road and just a short distance further another intersection appears. Stay right (straight) at this intersection and after just a couple hundred yards there is another road taking off to the right. Take this right turn and drive 50 yards to a parking area at a fence and park your vehicle. If driving two vehicles, drive the other north on Water Canyon Road for another mile. This shuttle vehicle may be left near the reservoir, which is a parking area and the trailhead to Water Canyon and trailend for the hike you are about to do.
Squirrel Canyon
After parking your vehicle at the fence with a gate, look across the wash (east) and notice an old road. This is the trail leading up Short Creek and Squirrel Creek. Begin the hike by dropping into the Water Canyon Wash just below and east of the parking area, then follow the track up and out of the wash onto the ridge on the opposite side. Follow this path back into Short Creek and continue northeast along the creek for 1.4 miles until you find an intersection of ATV roads. At this point, Beehive Mountain will be almost due north and towering above. At this intersection, cross the creek to the left and walk north up Squirrel Creek. Initially the trail climbs onto a ridge to the west of Squirrel Creek, and eventually will drop into and cross over the creek below. The trail is well used and easy to follow. At 2.5 miles the trail is now on the east side of the creek and begins a steep ascent up rocky ledge systems to gain the top of a ridge that separates two drainage's near the head of Squirrel Creek Canyon. Beehive Mountain and views to the south are now spectacular as travel continues north following a steep ridge. About 3.75 miles into the hike and at the top of the ridge, the Canaan Mountain Trail is met. The vistas and scenery just continue to unfold the higher the trail gets. At this intersection turn left (west) traveling toward a large slickrock ridge towering above and to the north. The trail will drop into a slickrock wash at the base of this large rock ridge and continue west.
Water Canyon Arch
After a mile of traveling west from the intersection of Squirrel Creek Trail and Canaan Mountain Trail, look left and there may or may not be a trail(s) that leads south along the ridge. In any case, begin traveling south- east along the ridge, keeping an eye to the right at Water Canyon below. Stay as high as possible as travel continues southeast and try to keep Water Canyon in view if possible. At times it will be necessary to stray away from the rim above the canyon, but then always try to get back close to the rim. After a mile and bypassing a large sandy bowl on hikers right, (several rock outcrops at the bottom of the bowl hide views of Water Canyon) walk around the right side of a small rock outcrop just to the south of this bowl, and drop down a sandy hill to arrive at Water Canyon Arch. From the arch, look north northeast at the skyline and locate the white domes.
White Domes
The domes will be the next landmark to hike toward and the intersection of the next leg of travel. Enjoy lunch at the arch, dump the sand out of shoes, hydrate and prepare for the second leg of the trip. Follow your footsteps back to Canaan Mountain Trail. The trail now will follow a wide slickrock wash upward for .25 mile and then bear left and out of the wash traveling upward along a rocky ridge another .25 mile before picking up the sandy Canaan Mountain Trail. Follow the Canaan Mountain Trail another .65 mile west until arriving at the White Domes. These domes, with Zion National Park in the background are quite photogenic.
Exit Canaan Mountain
Travel is now downhill for most of the remainder of the trip. Walk down the massive slickrock field to the southeast. Do not try to walk through the slot canyons on the right, rather, stay left and bear toward the small multicolored domes to the left of the slot. Travel down the slickrock is somewhat steep in sections but it is not difficult. After a half mile you will arrive at the bottom of the wash. Walk down the pleasant sandy drainage for another half mile to the intersection of another wash entering from the right and turn left following the wash downstream. After a quarter mile downstream from the intersection of the two washes, look for a path of travel to the right and up the ridge above. If a path cannot be located, start climbing the ridge upward in a southeast direction and traverse looking for a path. Once located, the path will eventually arrive at Top Rock.
Water Canyon
From Top Rock. there are great views back to the White Domes and views of Water Canyon below. The Water Canyon Trail now becomes more visible as it drops off from Top Rock. to the east and begins its steep descent into Water Canyon and the Water Canyon Trailhead now a mile and half away. The trail will follow ledges and wind its way down eventually arriving at the bottom of the slot canyon. Soon the trail leaves the confinement of the slot and follows the hillside above the creek. Be sure to look high up on the left to view the Water Canyon Arch you visited as travel continues down canyon. Before you know it, the parking area at the Water Canyon Trailhead comes into view. If a shuttle was stationed here you are done hiking. If not, then it's an easy one-mile walk back down the road to your waiting vehicle at the Short Creek - Squirrel Creek Trailhead.

A New Weakness in the RC4 Keystream Generator and an Approach to Improve the Security of the Cipher
Souradyuti Paul and Bart Preneel
Publication Info: FSE 2004, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3017, Bimal Roy, Willi Meier (Eds.), Springer-Verlag, 2004, pp. 245 - 259.
Abstract: The paper presents a new statistical bias in the distribution of the first two output bytes of the RC4 keystream generator. The number of outputs required to reliably distinguish RC4 outputs from random strings using this bias is only 2^25 bytes. Most importantly, the bias does not disappear even if the initial 256 bytes are dropped. This paper also proposes a new pseudorandom bit generator, named RC4A, which is based on RC4's exchange shuffle model. It is shown that the new cipher offers increased resistance against most attacks that apply to RC4. RC4A uses fewer operations per output byte and offers the prospect of implementations that can exploit its inherent parallelism to improve its performance further.

The director general of the CBI, the British business lobby group, has been outlining this morning his vision of where exactly the UK business sector is in terms of meeting its climate change commitments.
Speaking at the CBI's climate change summit in London, Lambert made a fairly downbeat assessment of what has been achieved over the past three years. And he had two simple messages for UK policymakers: be consistent and stop hyping 'green' jobs.
The second of these messages comes as something of a surprise from a spokesman for British industry, which has been told to expect a major boom from the creation of jobs related to tackling climate change.

FRAUD: Spaniard begs EFCC, IGP to probe N3.6bn contract fraud in Imo State
In what seems to be an ongoing game of the titans and a conspiracy to defraud the Imo state of Nigeria, a Spanish contractor, Mr. Jose Lopez-Pepe, has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, through his lawyer, Abiodun Oduwole, urging it to probe alleged N3.6 billion contract fraud in Imo State.
The Spaniard alleged that during a business trip to procure technical drawings and other equipment for the contract valued at about N3.6 billion, one Mr Emmanuel Emenike, who is the Managing Director of a company, Hormipresa Nigeria Ltd, collected part payment for the project. He added that rather than informing him or executing the project, Mr. Emmanuel resolved to buying several exotic cars to add to his fleets.
According to documents related to the contract made available to the press, Mr. Jose Lopez-Pepe, had on December 1, 2011 written to the Imo state government to introduce Hormipresa Nigeria Ltd as a sister company and requested that an advance payment of 30% of the total money involved in the contract be paid to them (Hormipresa).
The said amount was however paid by the Imo state government to Mr Emenike but Mr. Jose Lopez-Pepe insist that he never received the payment by the state government for the job. He however, begged the IGP and the anti-graft agency to investigate his Nigerian partner and some officials of Imo State government and make them account for the project funds.
Through his legal counsel, Mr. Jose has filed a second petition to office of the Inspector general of Police owing to what he called a delay justice from the initial petition. The petition which reads in part;
1. We write as solicitors to Mr. Jose Marin Lopez-Pepe, hereinafter referred to as our client. You recall, Sir, that our client had written a petition against the above named person to your office, dated June 14, 2013, but to which we are yet to see any action or reaction from your good office. However, we are inclined to write yet another one, following Mr. Emenike's continued onslaught against our client via the media. He continues to defame our client severally, especially in print and electronic media. Examples of such publication are the June 12, 2013 publication inThe Trumpetter, titled "Spaniard in police net over €1.6m contract sum", echoed by other national papers, wherein he sponsored a story which maliciously and falsely alleged that our client was arrested in Lagos while attempting to escape from Nigeria. On November 5, 2013, another publication sponsored by him on the Leadership website, titled "Imo: Untold Story Of Controversial N3.5 Billion Project", surfaced on the Internet, wherein he defamed our client in an undignifying manner.
2. This petition is to bring his unrepentant media misfiring to your attention, and kindly ensure that the right of our client not to be maliciously defamed is protected. We have provided the true state of events as response to every assertion in the latter referenced publication below.
3. Firstly, he claimed that Mr. Marin Lopez-Pepe is a Director at Hormipresa Nigeria Ltd. It must be stated unequivocally that this is not true, as our client was never presented with any document to sign or append his consent as Director at Hormipresa Nigeria Limited at any time. During investigation at the Interpol sometime last year, however, his lawyer informed the Police that they had forged our client's signature on the incorporation documents. In fact, to make this singular assertion is libelous as it is an attempt to bring the name of our client in disrepute by linking him with a company that is known for widespread fraud and unprofessional handling of contract funds. Needless to say that our client's business partners and associates from all over the world have started distancing themselves from our client as a result of this unholy and forced marriage, which is merely a figment of the imagination of Mr. Banjamin Emenike, synonymous to a sinking man looking for other persons to pull along. Our client had merely introduced Hormipresa Nigeria Limited and its Managing Director, Mr. Emenike, to Imo State Government as agent/facilitator of his contract. They however fraudulently conned our client out of his contract and embezzled his contract proceeds.
4. He further claimed that he sent some funds to our client's account in Spain and wants our client to refund same. He however failed to state that he sent stop orders on the money and it was returned to him. He also failed to state that he adopted money laundering means to transfer the said funds. One would expect that, since the company had bank account in Nigeria, and the money was paid into that account, any transfer would have been done directly as an inter-bank transfer. Rather, Mr. Emenike contracted bureau de change agents for the transfer, all in a deliberate attempt to cause confusion and exercise a legitimate claim to have the money recalled. Conversely, and correctly, our client never had access to the funds in Spain because of the suspicious manner in which the funds were sent to him. Most importantly, the funds were transferred to his account by companies (bureau de change agents) not connected to the project. Thus, when our client was asked for explanation by his bankers, he was not able to link the source of the funds with himself, thereby resulting in his bankers refusing our client access to the funds and flagging it for money laundery.
The petition and all other documents relating to the contract were made available to the press through a source who pleaded anonymity.
According to Mr Jose's legal counsels, It was when the pressure became heightened, that Mr. Emenike resorted to using his money laundering contacts also facilitated by Mrs. Grace Okparaeche to launder money into Mr. Lopez-Pepe's accounts in Spain, in order to frustrate him and put him in trouble with Spanish governments. "He made a number of transactions where he transferred money from a Nigerian account to a Spanish account through Hong Kong, Russia and London, and through unknown, unregistered and spurious companies, thereby making such funds flagged for money laundering. Of course, these moneys are trapped in Spain for further investigation as they do not emanate from clear and direct sources" the statement read.
At the moment, Mr. Marin Lopez-Pepe's accounts have also been frozen. The total amount of money sent to Mr. Marin Lopez-Pepe's account is about 1.8 Million Euros. Due to the suspicious manner in which the moneys were being transferred, Barclays Bank, UK, refunded 500,000 Euros to Mr. Benjamin Emenike, claiming that the transaction could not be followed through because it had money laundering patterns to which they would not be a party. Meanwhile, Mr. Marin Lopez-Pepe was advised by his bankers in Spain that only a letter from Imo State Government could ensure that the monies are indeed released to him.
Unfortunately, Mr. Benjamin Emenike according to the same source had connived with a Government official and a Legal Director at Rochas Foundation who prepares legal documentation for Imo State government, to prepare a spurious award letter in favour of Hormipresa Nigeria Limited, for the same contract. Thus, two awards were purportedly made by the state government on the same project. The first award, made to NIFPS, was duly accepted, supported by a contract agreed to by both Imo State Government and NIFPS and duly executed by the Secretary to the State Government. The second award offer purportedly made to Hormipresa was merely signed by the Principal Secretary to the State Governor.
More than anything else however, the prayer of Mr. Jose is for justice to be done by way of investigation and prosecution of whoever emerges as the culprit, either himself or Mr Emenike.

Over the course of almost this entire decade that will end in 2010, while I've been working with clients on their books, on other innovation projects, and on my own work, there has been one completely bizarre constant, often literally at my feet. Many conferences in my office have been momentarily interrupted when someone looked down and noticed that under my desk, not far from my shoes, rested a large and very real jackrabbit. She was not really a pet in those years. She had been injured, I had rescued her, and she decided to stay. We weren't friends, it was simply that she decided we were less likely to eat her than many of the predators that lurked just beyond our sliding glass doors. Here's a little piece I wrote to celebrate Rascal's eighth anniversary sharing the same roof.
I'm trying to read the morning Times, but I can feel her eyes on the back of my neck. My wife, Leanne, is reading the paper, too. "Someone wants you to pick her up." The someone is not our German Shorthaired Pointer, Tesla, who is pointing the last morsel of bagel at the moment.
I look back over my shoulder to meet her gaze, knowing her head will be crammed up against her wiry cage. She stares at me with her miniature camel eyes. "I love you too, Rascal." I get up and reach through the hole that I cut eight years ago in the top of her cage, and gently pull her away from the door. I swing up the little door, cradle her in both my hands, and draw her out of the cage, as I have done thousands of times. I hold her close to me, and she, being right-footed, places her right paw on the side of my chin in gentle greeting.
Rascal is a hare, a true wild jackrabbit with tall stiff ears and impossibly long back legs. Eight years ago today my youngest son Max breezed past my office with the news that "Tesla may have killed a rabbit," up on the mountain top at the end of our street, Ridge Road in Tiburon, California. I am by nature a rescuer, can't be helped. "Are you sure it's dead?" Tesla wasn't the kind of dog that would harm a rabbit. Max thought the rabbit, at very least, was severely injured. I grabbed a blanket and we went hunting for the shrub were the rabbit was last seen. Within a few moments, a scrawny rabbit came tearing out of the bushes, sort of running sideways, and stopped, resting on its side. I approached carefully and swooped the blanket over it. When I gingerly peeled the blanket back, I found myself being evaluated by a surprisingly calm little being. "Well look at you!" I gathered her up and Max held her as we drove to our favorite pet shop in Mill Valley. The brothers who owned the place fawned over the rabbit and were full of advice. We left with a cage, food, and a flea collar.
Dr. Debra Scheenstra specializes in wild animals and makes house-calls. She listened to her patient's heart and peered into her ears and mouth. The rabbit wasn't injured — she had an inner ear infection which made it hard for her to stand up. Could she be nursed back to health and returned to the wild? The doctor said it was unlikely. But the infection could be treated. I received instruction on giving injections to a jackrabbit (lift a fold on her back, don't stick yourself) and thirty syringes.
I decided it was okay to bond with the little creature, so I named her Rascal. The doctor has said she was a young adult female, probably a year old. Few jackrabbits survived in human care. Life expectancy in the wild was five years. In my eclectic library I dug out an old reference book on care for wild animals by the zookeeper of the London Zoo. The paragraph on hares was brief and to the point. Jackrabbits don't survive out of the wild and they hate the smell of human hair. I lowered my expectations.
Rascal soon regained her balance and responded to my experiments at rehab. Before long she had free reign of my office, and had housebroken herself to her cage. We offered her occasional opportunities to roam the rest of our house and she soon found her preferred spot under our piano. She stayed away from open doors, going outside on her own only twice. For the next several years she kept her distance from people, adoring only Tesla, who ignored her. And then, five years ago, we had moved to Napa and my office was now right off the kitchen. Rascal's cage was next to me, and she was now part of the family at all meals. She suddenly became affectionate, relaxing in my arms, licking whatever part of me was close to her. This morning her preferred spot is my nose, and remembering how she once, accidentally, bit through Leanne's fingernail, letting her lick my nose takes courage.
I cradle her, with her long ears draped over my left arm, and her long legs stretched out over my right arm. I stroke her tummy for a moment, and then return to the paper. Whenever I turn the page, she fidgets, wanting me to look at her. I do, and she smiles. I swear it.

Hi. Could you add integration to eshop shopping cart component?
Here you find the url: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions … Nob3BzIjt9
Also could i create certificate with coupon code that i already created?
Please let me know.
Best regards
I will do the integration this weekend (normally tomorrow)
For your question, you can upload a series of number in the database to use for the gift card number. But normally all the number are generated base on the timestamp of your server. No way to change it after the card is generated.
Thanks for the suggestion
Thanks for your support
If you like my Joomla apps, please help support them with a review here:
Thank you!
Thanks for your integration. Please could you tell me how it works exactly? I am referring about eshop integration.
I didn't check yet, but I need the eShop cart to already processing gift card. If they do, the integration is very simple, each time the gift component receive a payment successful the system automatically insert in the eShop coupon/card database the card number and the amount ready to be use in the eShop cart.
This is why it so simple to me to add a new shopping cart ;O)
Please tell me if you need the eshop component so I send you. Can I attach it here?
I tried to attach the zip file of component here but i cannot. So please let me know how can i send you.
Yes this will be cool and faster....
Just replay to the email you receive this message.
I sent you by mail now.
Please let me know when it is ready.
Best regards
Great thanks
BUT.... eShop doesn't process gift card only coupon, and you need to assign the coupon to a list of products. Also eShop doesn't calculate or allow card balance. You can tell eShop to use the coupon only once and this is the closer you can get to a gift card.
I cannot add this to my current version now, but In the eShop database, there a fields for the coupon type, I think in a next version they will add the gift card option to a coupon, and from then I can make the integration.

Putman's halfcourt buzzer-beater lifts Villains to title
Alex Putman really didn't think she'd end up with the ball. But, with the clock winding down and the game on the line, she took a shot – one that the Bishop McGuinness girls will remember for a long, long time.
With the score tied with 5.2 seconds left, Riverside missed two free throws following a timeout. Putman, who had only been mentioned in the timeout as the inbounder for a play following a make, grabbed the rebound and initially looked to pass.
But, with the seconds quickly ticking away, she let a running shot go at midcourt that died as it hit the back of the rim, bounced off the front and fell through the net. That shot gave the Villains a 61-58 win Saturday in the Dean Smith Center and won their ninth-straight NCHSAA 1A title.
Click here to watch the video of Putman's shot.
"I just got the rebound and let it fly," said Putman, a junior guard, with a laugh. "I saw that it was on line, but I thought it was going to ricochet off. I looked at the clock, and there were like 1.3 seconds left.
"There was a girl kinda close to me, and I was like, 'All right, it's going up.' I'm still in shock. I don't even think I saw it go through. I just heard everyone, and then Danielle (Nieters) tackled me."
Julia Brown scored 26 points and grabbed seven rebounds to earn the Kay Yow MVP award and lead the Villains (29-4), who tied Dallas Bishop Lynch with nine titles and trail only Lynch and Milwaukee Pius XI with 12 each for the longest-ever streak of state titles nationally.
Tia Cappuccio scored 11 points and earned Bishop's Most Outstanding Player award, while Cameron Nieters, who was limited by foul trouble throughout, followed with seven points and broke 1,000 points for her career in the final seconds.
"For me and Cameron, it's obviously really big because it's our senior year and it's our last game," Brown said. "This is the only way we wanted it to end. It feels amazing just to continue the legacy and to know that your year was the year you kept it going."
Bishop started strong, leading 17-9 at the end of the first, but struggled in the second as the Knights (29-1) inched within three in the final minute of the half. But Brown made a layup, and McKenzie Rochford made a three-point play to give the Villains a 29-22 lead into halftime.
Bishop again played well to open the third, stretching its lead to 12 two minutes in. But Riverside, which was led by team Most Outstanding Player Kayla Jones with 31 points and 14 rebounds, pulled within 43-41 to close the quarter and tied it on the first possession of the fourth.
The Villains stayed tied or barely ahead until the Knights scored to go up 58-56 on Jones' driving layup with 1:03 left. But Bishop tied it on Nieters' layup with 57.5 seconds left. After working it to 10 seconds and calling timeout, Riverside drew the foul with 5.2 seconds left.
"I was thinking, 'How are we going to get ourselves out of this?'" Robinson said. "The first one looked good and it jiggled out. The second looked even better and it spun out. And Alex, who of the five girls on the floor is by far the slowest, had the ball in her hands.
"I give her credit. She didn't panic. She weaved twice and let it fly. Whatever happened, it took me that moment of pause and think, 'Did we just win this game?' That was pretty, pretty, pretty incredible."

That's when Det. Carl Maskew, from the Bradley County Sheriff's Department, decided, well, then, "It's good enough for me."
Maskew was eating a tuna sandwich — "Great!" — with home fries — "Crispy, just like they should be," he said. — created by the same chef who prepared meals for the likes of Nicholson, Joan Lunden, Ray Liotta — a regular diner, Don DeLuise, and a lot of other stars. So many, the walls of the Florida restaurant was covered with signed autographs of the celebrities who had eaten there.
Maskew was talking about the food created by Josh Gouveia, chef and owner of the newly opened restaurant, the Cobblestone Grille. The owner has run his own restaurants in Florida for the past 20 years, as well as being their chef, starting with the one he opened with his parents at the young age of 17.
"I grew up in the business," he said. "And I developed a love for food."
But he has relatives here in Southeast Tennessee and he wanted to be near them. Plus, his mom and dad also have decided to move here from Florida.
Now here in Cleveland, Gouveia's current restaurant is nestled in one of the shops across from the Courthouse in downtown Cleveland — where Diamond Lil's used to be. The Cobblestone Grille restaurant opened for business roughly two months.
Lt. Dennis Goins from the Special Opps/Crime Suppression Unit of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, and two of his co-workers, had their first taste of the Cobblestone Grille's food the other day. Goins had a ham and cheese egg white omelet with a homemade biscuit and sausage gravy, with a side of grits.
"Grits are a big seller," Gouveia said.
And the trio all vowed to come back the following Saturday — and bring their families.
"And the coffee is great too," said Dep. Chad Nave from the Bradley County Sheriff's Department. For his first meal at the Cobblestone Grille, he had the Farmer's Garden Omelet, made with fresh, seasonal local veggies he's never tasted on an omelet — zucchini, squash, carrots, and mushrooms — and cheddar cheese, with a large biscuit and gravy on the side. "Best omelet I've had ... And the service is great!"
Gouveia prides himself on making Southern comfort food. His meat loaf sandwich and his turkey with dressing sandwich are current top sellers, as are his biscuits and gravy.
"I developed different dishes learning from my dad," Gouveia said. "And I am constantly coming up with new dishes."
Other menu items range from appetizers, such as mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers to soups, such as homemade chunky chicken noodle soup and salads, such as taco salad; from individualized meat combo platters to a variety of burgers; from a long list of specialty sandwiches, such as the meatloaf, made with a thick slice of homemade meatloaf served cold or grilled on Texas toast or the Philly cheesesteak with roasted beef — on the premises — fresh mushrooms, onions and melted provolone, wraps and rolls, such as a slow-simmered BBQ pulled pork served on a kaiser roll. Other options include such dishes as a BLT with egg, buttermilk biscuits, home fries, omelets, such as a meatloaf, bacon and cheese omelet, a steak and cheese omelet with thinly sliced roast beef, onions, mushrooms and provolone cheese, pancakes, such as blueberry granola pancakes, and French toast.
"My dad taught me how to cook ... It was his passion," Gouveia said. Gouveia remembers waking up every Saturday and Sunday — early — to watch his dad cook. He also remembers his home being filled with family and friends, "There were always a lot of people in the house. We cooked so much at home. Dinners every night. Hand and hand with my dad in the kitchen, I developed a love for food."
The Cobblestone Grille also offers a coffee bar, with flavors such as vanilla, fat-free vanilla, hazelnut, and caramel, as well as lattes and cappuccinos.
"We grind our own beans on the premises," Gouveia said. "We get the beans from a Southeast Tennessee company, the Chattanooga Roasting Company."
The Cobblestone Grille also offers lots of delectable pastries, such as homemade blueberry, banana nut, carrot cake, chocolate chip, and M&M muffins and cookies, to name just a few. The selection varies every day, and all pastries are made right at the restaurant.
"And all served in a warm atomosphere with welcoming decor — cheery and bright. I wanted something very inviting," Gouveia said. "And all at reasonable prices."
Two televisions also are available for patrons — one set on sports and the other on news. Catering also is available onsite with special menus for office parties, holiday parties, etc., since the restaurant is closed to the public at night.
An official grand opening will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 2.
"I want this to be a community and church restaurant," Gouveia said. He's already held a fundraiser to help raise money for the United Way in the short time he has been open.
The Cobblestone Grille is located at 170 N. Ocoee St. It is open for breakfast starting at 7 a.m., as well as serving lunch until 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Saturdays, the Cobblestone Grille is open for breakfast from 7 a.m. to noon. Seniors are offered a discount on their breakfast meal. For more information, call 790-7006.

Best indoor antenna I ever used!
Freedom - Boynton beach, FL - 6/8/2013
I live about 40 miles from tv towers min.The HDBLADE 100A outperformed my expectations!I now get over 35 hd channels FREE!Good bye dish!
lenny - cheektowaga, NY - 8/6/2013
got the new DB8 Extreme in today. After about 2 hrs it was all up and running. The antenna was horrible. I was able to pull in all the buffalo stations and that was about it. I got CBC for a few seconds and the signal was very low. Nothing else from Canada came in. I hooked my original DB8 back up and I was back up and running like I was. CBC comes blasting in as well as 36 42 19 and 41 but that is braking up. I has high expectations for the new antenna but was very disappointed. After looking around for weeks I was unable to find the original channel master 4228 so I thought I would give this a try. Oh well at least I know now...

NA - Marana, AZ - 12/19/2013
Frustrated with my monthly cable increases I began to look for an outdoor antenna. I am in the middle of towers at 30 miles and 85 miles away. I chose the DB8e for it's adjustability and long range UHF and the CS600 for VHF. Both are on their individual masts with the DB8e 20' high and the CS600 at 15' high. The DB8e and the CS600 are connected to a UHF/VHF combiner, then a splitter for 2 tv's, a 110' cable run to the 2nd bedroom, and finally a 30' cable run to the living room. I am happy that I purchased all the above at a good price from Solid Signal and shipping was fast. I am now receiving 73 channels on both tv's with a solid and clear signal from as far as 85 miles away. Outstanding.

Wedding: 6/8/2013
We specifically picked the Oviatt because of its beautiful art deco architecture and its awesome location on a rooftop in Downtown LA. It was everything we could have hoped for - nothing we worried might go wrong actually did. The food was good, drinks and dessert were amazing. The staff was excellent - they're there when you need them and they disappear like ninjas when you don't.
You can go late into the night here without noise concerns because it's in an area dominated by commercial buildings, not residences, and it's 13 stories up.
It's rumored to be haunted but no ghosts showed up to our wedding. Probably good because we may have gone over the strict 120 person maximum capacity. And they're serious about that, too. A fire marshal hangs out all night to make sure you follow all the capacity rules. You'll barely notice him though, and he's nice. Also, he doesn't count as a guest, so don't worry :)
Because they do all the catering and cooking on site (since the Oviatt is owned by Truly Yours catering), and they provide all the lighting, tables, chairs, linens, etc, it's a pretty all-inclusive deal. The scenery is perfect, no need to go overboard with a florist. The only real vendors you'll need are photographers and a DJ.
Wedding: 9/29/2012
Our wedding was at this gorgeous historic venue, one of the first art deco buildings in L.A. Most couples have their ceremony outdoors, then guests go indoors for a cocktail hour, during which time the outdoor space is "flipped" into reception/dinner seating. Both the in and outdoor spaces are very different - you just have to see it to understand. It's like a museum inside and needs very little decor. Outside it becomes a magical mix of urban city chic and Old Hollywood glamour, depending on time of day, what decor theme/colors you use. Once you do research and learn the Oviatt comes with everything you need, it is a terrific value as well (no "rental" vendors, yay)!
There are a lot of "rules" about what you can and cannot use, what times you can get there (only 2 hrs. pre-ceremony), but some leniency should be granted here b/c the indoor area is truly like a museum with rare collectibles! Both our out-of-town and in-town guests were wowed with the space. Everything looked beautiful prior to the cocktail hour, but once the sun set, it was simply MAGICAL! Several other guests used this word as well.
As for the staff, their attention to detail on our wedding night had me writing this vendor review in my head as the actual reception was taking place (no kidding!), and the word "remarkable" came to mind several times. Literally, each time we got up to dance or visit with guests, our napkins were neatly folded again when we got back, and not once did our glasses run empty in between wine or champagne pours. I seriously do not think the service could have been any more outstanding! Rob, the servers, and the other staff had been such a pleasure to work with at another wedding I had coordinated here, and I was just as pleased when it came to our own!
Roxy Adlesh the co-owner with her husband Chris (of Truly Yours Catering) is a godsend, walks you through everything you need to know, and seemed genuinely excited throughout our wedding planning process.
Wedding: 9/20/2012
This is a dynamic team for any event! Especially, a WEDDING! The lessees of the property are a married couple - Mr. & Mrs. Adlesh. The Adleshes are also the owners of Truly Yours Catering, which is the catering service provided by the Oviatt. Truly Yours Catering has a 26 PAGE MENU of mouthwatering offerings, which is possibly why they cater for the Emmys and other elite Hollywood events. Roxy Adlesh is a total gem! She makes you feel at ease during such a stressful time. Her positive personality, supportive nature, and years of experience make planning/booking/organizing your event a piece of cake. She even does photography in addition to it all! Chris Adlesh is a complete sweetheart who creates masterpieces in the kitchen! I went in for a tasting and fell in love with their food, presentation, and style! Each dish is a unique and flavorful twist of something familiar. Chris really takes pride in his dishes and cares about each detail of each dish he sends out. The crew is so nice and friendly and attentive! No guest goes unnoticed, hungry, or thirsty! Book the Oviatt - This venue is spectacular! I went on and on about the food and service, I forgot to mention HOW BEAUTIFUL, INTERESTING, AND FUN this venue is! If you think that the pictures are impressive, you have to see it in person to get the true experience of this historic landmark!
Wedding: 8/30/2014
Perfect in every way!!!
Wedding: 8/3/2014
That was the theme of our wedding and with the Oviatt's old Hollywood glam and stunning LA skyline it was the perfect outdoor venue for our wedding. The place is so beautiful you don't need to dress it up. The staff were gracious and attentive. Nicole, the coordinator for the venue, was amazing. She kept our planning on track and had great checklists and vendor lists to help us through. Since they have their own caterer, tables, chairs, linens, you don't need to coordinate much. The food was plentiful and really yummy. And to top it off the costs are a great value.
Wedding: 6/22/2014
The Oviatt was the perfect spot for our wedding 6/22/14. We didn't want the usual country club/hotel setting, and the Oviatt is a beautiful and unique alternative at a reasonable price. It was a great size for our small wedding of 55 guests. Nicole at the Oviatt is such a professional, she knows her stuff and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend the Oviatt if you are looking for a unique location for a smaller event. All in all a great experience!
Wedding: 6/30/2014
The hubby and I started our search for a venue at the Oviatt and when we were done with the tour, and got back into the historic, original elevator I turned to him and asked, "do we really need to go anywhere else?" We were so incredibly blown away with the beauty and nostalgia the Oviatt provided and could not believe we had found such a perfect venue (and on the first shot too!). The pictures and website do not do the Oviatt justice, and I hope they update things soon, because the venue is absolutely breathtaking. All night our guests were coming up to us and telling us how much they loved the venue, and asking how we found such a gem in Los Angeles. Not only is the venue great, but the food is spectacular (we had people going back for seconds and thirds and even raved about how good it was!), and Nicole, the event coordinator, is an absolute sweetheart. I am so happy with my decision to go with the Oviatt, it made an incredibly beautiful and memorable evening for myself and my husband, and we wouldn't have changed it for the world. I would suggest trying for a wedding during the week (as I did), as it is cheaper, but even on the weekends it is not bad for what you get. We also decided to provide our own alcohol (which they don't charge you for, just the hourly rate for a bartender!), and we had a small event with only about 35 people, so we didn't have to pay for a fire marshal or extra security or anything. That being said, this is the perfect place for a smaller (I would say no more than 100, but they can accommodate up to 150 I believe) event that has a unique and vintage feel to it that takes you back to L.A. and Hollywood's golden days!
Wedding: 5/4/2012
I had my wedding there one week ago and it was the most amazing night of my life. The staff was excellent! Everyone was friendly and really set the mood for the night. They were so considerate and addressed details I wouldn't have thought of. The food was delicious! I'm still getting compliments on it. Chris, Roxy and the entire team at The Oviatt Penthouse are amazing. The location couldn't have been better. There was a feeling of romance and love under all the city lights in the night sky. It could not have been a better night. If you're looking for a fun, chic urban wedding with a vintage flare, this is it!
Wedding: 10/8/2011
If you're a city loving person who appreciates views, character and beautiful decor then you'll love The Oviatt! To top it off, the staff is great and super professional. My husband and I found the perfect place for our wedding reception and hope to rent this place again for our 10 year anniversary! :)
Wedding: 10/7/2011
I was recently married at the Oviatt Penthouse. We had our ceremony and reception there. My husband and I could not be happier with the outcome..it was better than we ever imagined! The Oviatt is such a unique and beautiful site for a wedding. Roxy, Chris and Truly Yours Catering were so great to work with. They were so helpful! They were quick to respond to all my questions, helped us stay in our budget, and even helped us find most of our other vendors. The whole night was beautiful, went very smoothly and the food was delicious! I've heard nothing but compliments about our wedding and people are still raving 3 weeks later! I would definately recommend both the Oviatt and/or Truly Yours Catering for just about any special occasion. I hope to find a reason to use them again someday!
Wedding: 7/15/2011
The Oviatt Penthouse is just beautiful! A historical venue. It was unbelievable. I had the best day of my life.
Wedding: 8/28/2010
My wife and I were married here in August 2010. As is apparent from other materials online, the Oviatt Penthouse is a unique rooftop art deco venue that will provide a dramatic and memorable setting for your event. Here are some other details that might not be as apparent online.
+ The staff is extremely experienced, capable, and caring. The venue has just switched to a new operator a few weeks after our wedding, but the staff is all the same. From our experience, the site manager and day-of captain are especially terrific, as people and as professionals.
+ The food was really good, way better than other weddings we have been to, based on our own opinion and most of our guests'. The caterer is different now but I think there is a fair chance that this will continue to be the case.
+ The indoor portion of the venue is at least as big as the outdoor, so there is enough room and variety in spaces for your guests to be able to wander around a little bit. Still, capacity is capped at 120.
Overall we were very pleased with the Oviatt, and are not just saying so because we were married there!
