How to tell that your PC's too slow
Just because your PC feels slow, it doesn't mean that it is. Any number of things can cause your computer to slow down temporarily: a stuck print job, a badly coded web page, a hiccup at your ISP, or something else.
Most users have a gut feeling about their computer's performance. When booting up takes more than a minute, or programs start to load sluggishly, it's time to put some effort into getting your system into shape again.
But where can you look for quantitative data on which to base these decisions? The best thing you can do is to benchmark your computer to see whether it is really getting slower. We use a professional benchmarking tool to assess PC performance, but it costs around £150 from worldbench.com. For a cheaper option, try the free version of PCMark Vantage. This will let you run a limited benchmark of your PC to check for trouble spots.
The difficult part is working out what to compare your benchmark numbers with. After all, benchmarks in a vacuum are useless. With WorldBench, you can compare your system's score with those of various modern PCs, as reported in this magazine or on our website at pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews. Another option is to pay £4 for PCMark Vantage Basic Edition so you can compare your score with those of other users who've submitted their numbers online.
Finally, you can use Windows' 'Performance Information and Tools' Control Panel. The information that's provided here is rudimentary, but it's better than nothing.
If you see the numbers slip to 15 to 20 percent below what you'd expect, it's probably time to take action.

Application Deadlines
Review of applications begins in mid-November and continues on a rolling basis until the class is filled. The Early Decision Program deadline is December 3.

Arizona Select
Admissions Program (ASAP )If you are a University of Arizona junior, senior, or recent graduate with a GPA of 3.7 or higher, you may be able to apply without the need for an LSAT score. Only UA students participating in a 3+3 program are eligible to apply through ASAP as juniors. Other UA undergraduates must wait until their senior year to apply.
To be eligible to apply through ASAP, you must have:
- completed a bachelor's or higher degree within the last four years at the UA, or expect to complete such a degree within the next three semesters;
- earned a GPA of 3.7 or higher, and
- achieved a score in the 85th percentile or higher on another undergraduate or graduate admissions standardized test (e.g., SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT, GMAT).
ASAP is an experimental program designed to evaluate whether the combination of undergraduate GPA and alternative standardized test score is a valid and reliable measurement for predicting the potential to succeed in law school. Students admitted through ASAP should note that their undergraduate GPA and alternative standardized test score(s), law school grades, graduation rates, and employment status after graduation may be used for the evaluation described above, though this data and evaluation will not include any information that will identify them personally.
Note, meeting the minimum requirements to apply through ASAP does not ensure admission. All admission decisions are based upon a holistic assessment of all application materials submitted. Students who are accepted through the ASAP admissions program who have not yet graduated from UA are admitted on condition that their GPA does not fall below 3.7 by the time they graduate.
Admission to Arizona Law through ASAP does not require the submission of an LSAT score and students who have taken the LSAT must apply through the regular admissions process.
Upon admission, applicants will be required to submit their official transcripts, at their own cost, directly to the Law School Admission Council.
** Regular ASAP applicants interested in starting at Arizona Law in Fall 2015, must apply by June 1, 2015, through the UA GradApp (Graduate Admission Application) at apply.grad.arizona.edu. 3+3 ASAP candidates must apply by December 1, 2014. Students must submit all general application materials other than an LSAT score.
3+3 BA/JD Program
The 3+3 BA/JD program enables academically talented University of Arizona undergraduates to complete their Bachelor of Arts in Law and the Juris Doctor in as few as six years of study. The program is open to University of Arizona undergraduates majoring in law with a minimum 3.3 overall GPA. Eligible students apply to the James E. Rogers College of Law during the second semester of their junior year. Accepted students matriculate at the College of Law following their junior year and take 30 graduate law credits their senior year as first year law students. They spend their fifth and sixth years completing the remaining 58 JD units.
To be eligible to apply through the UA 3+3 BA/JD program, you must:
- complete all graduation requirements except for the 27 law units needed for the BA in Law by the end of your junior year;
earn an overall cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher; and
- for ASAP 3+3 admission: apply by December 1 of your junior year with a minimum 3.7 overall GPA and score in the 85th percentile or higher on an undergraduate or graduate admissions standardized test (e.g., SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT, GMAT); or
- for regular 3+3 admission, apply during the second semester of your junior year with a minimum overall 3.3 GPA and LSAT score.
Note, meeting the minimum requirements to apply through the 3+3 program does not ensure admission. All admission decisions are based upon a holistic assessment of all application materials submitted. If admitted, 3+3 students will start as first year law students at the beginning of what would have been their senior year. Unsuccessful applicants will complete their undergraduate degree in law as seniors, and may apply to law school following the usual timeline and procedures. For more information on 3+3 degree requirements, sample 4-year plans, and making an appointment with the Academic Advisor for Law, see the 3+3 program website.
Upon admission, applicants will be required to submit their official transcripts, at their own cost, directly to the Law School Admission Council.
**If you are interested in starting at Arizona Law through the 3+3 program in Fall 2015, you must apply during the second semester of your junior year. 3+3 ASAP candidates must apply by December 1, 2014 (with no LSAT score – see section above).
Transfer & Visitor Requirements
You can apply to transfer to Arizona Law or study as a visitor after your first year of law studies. Transfer and visitor applicants must submit the following by July 1 of the enrollment year:
completed application and domicile affidavit (see above),
personal statement (see above),
personal resume,
official law school transcript with past and current grades and rank,
two letters of recommendation from law faculty you've studied under,
letter from your current dean confirming good standing, and
for visitors, the dean's letter should also state permission to enroll at Arizona Law and list any conditions limiting units acceptable to your home institution.
Note that transfer credits awarded will be transferred as pass/fail units and will not exceed those for the same courses/units at Arizona Law. Transfer students must complete 37 graded units after completing the 1L curriculum and 88 units in total. Class rank will be based on grades at Arizona Law.
Requirements for International Applicants
If you have a non-U.S. law degree, you may be eligible for our Advanced JD Program for Non-U.S. Lawyers. This program offers an accelerated path, allowing you to earn your JD in two years or less. An LSAT score is not required for admission to the Advanced JD Program. More information is available here, along with application instructions.
If you are an international student seeking admission to the JD program, and do not have a non-U.S. law degree, you must apply as first-year student as outlined above in the General Application Requirements, including taking the LSAT.
Most international applicants must also submit transcripts for any postsecondary academic work completed outside the United States, its territories, or Canada through the LSAC JD Credential Assembly Service (JD-CAS).
However, if you completed foreign work through a study abroad, consortium, or exchange program sponsored by a U.S. or Canadian institution, and if that work is clearly indicated as such on your transcript, you do not need to submit materials through JD-CAS.
Finally, if your undergraduate degree is from a school where English was not the language of instruction, you must submit a TOEFL score to LSAC. Contact the Educational Testing Service, and request that your TOEFL score be sent to LSAC (institution code number 0058, department code 03).

Live Commentary
Match Preview
Martinez ready to bounce back Everton manager Roberto Martinez insists his side will learn from the pain of their Merseyside derby defeat and bounce back a better side. The 4-0 midweek loss, extending their win-less streak at Anfield to 14 matches, was demoralising but should be taken in context of the situation the Toffees were faced with. Captain Phil Jagielka was not fully fit after injuring a hamstring in the FA Cup win at Stevenage three days earlier while Ross Barkley, Steven Pienaar and Antolin Alcaraz all played their first game in several weeks and were obviously lacking match sharpness. Martinez praised the attitude of those players for ensuring he was not forced to field a patched-up side and believes the result will not be a defining point in their season after falling four points adrift of the Champions League places. Speaking ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash at home to Aston Villa, he said: "We don't hide the fact we had a real disappointment on Tuesday because we know how important the derby is but in the same manner we are still in that privileged group (Arsenal and Chelsea are the others) in the league of having only three defeats. "That shows how well we have done in the season and now is a moment when we have to get together as a football club band take this defeat as something which really hurts. "We need to use it to our advantage. The defeat will make us a stronger team and makes us a team who reacts at the weekend. "It is an important moment to bounce back and take that performance into our make-up and ensure we are a stronger side after it. "We are all aware how it happened and the reasons behind it and it is very important to take the emotions away and analyse the game but in football you have the opportunity to bounce back straight away. "The lack of points in the derby does not represent success or failure in the season. "We want to go a bit further and we want to see where we end up in May - we have another 15 opportunities to keep getting stronger." Martinez is still likely to be without Sylvain Distin, Seamus Coleman, Gerard Deulofeu and new loan signing Lacina Traore for this weekend's visit of Villa, while Romelu Lukaku has also been ruled out for several weeks with an ankle injury. Having watched Villa show resilience to come from 2-0 down to beat West Brom 4-3 on Wednesday the Toffees boss knows his side cannot afford to let their standards slip again. "We all know Villa bring an incredible bravery in the way they play," he said. "They have a really good attacking force, they are a team who are always very dangerous on the counter-attack and it is going to be an open game. "You look at the way they are performing away from home and that suits them." Paul Lambert will assess striker Gabriel Agbonlahor's fitness after he missed Wednesday's local derby win over West Brom with a foot injury. Lambert is happy to put up with Fabian Delph's moaning as long as the in-form midfielder keeps driving Aston Villa's engine room. The Yorkshireman has arguably been Villa's most consistent performer this season, teaming up with Ashley Westwood and Karim El Ahmadi in a three-man midfield. His form under Lambert is a far cry from his earlier years at Villa, which were blighted by injury, inconsistency and an unhealthy disciplinary record. Now, however, the 24-year-old is being talked about as a potential England international. Lambert believes Delph's personality off the pitch is as important as his performances on it, with the midfielder filling the 'Victor Meldrew' role in the dressing room with aplomb. "He moans like anything, Fabian," said the Villa boss. "He'll moan about things that are incredible! You need those sort of players in your side, people that will moan for the sake of moaning. You need them because it shows that he wants to win. "It's his sense of humour and helps the dressing room. He moans for the sake of moaning. "That's not a slant in any way, you need those sort of moany characters to snap at people's ankles, really, on the pitch - and he is great at it. "But his general game at the moment is great, there's a lot of confidence there. You need those type of players in your side. "The thing that we found with him is he's hardly missed a day's training since we've been here and he's played most of the games since we've been here, so I think he's getting used to training every single day and playing. "Where I'm fortunate is that he hasn't had that before because of his injuries."

Cottage was in a perfect location and was a perfect fit for our trip. Already booked it for next year.
The owner was awesome. Sent personal email to make certain she was there when we got there. She called to check on us. Awesome banana pudding waiting in our refrigerator for us!!!
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

I have been on the hunt for the Nivea Lip Butters since I saw them start popping up in a lot of beauty bloggers videos. And I finally found them! Only to discover that although the packaging and wording was exactly the same, my lip butter said "Labello Lip Butter" and not "Nivea Lip Butter". I have since found out that Labello is the lip care department/section of the Nivea company and that essentially they are the same thing. I bought this in South Africa so I assume that it is called Labello in Africa and in some parts of Europe whilst being called Nivea in America and parts of Asia?
The actually product though, is definitely heaven sent. I have been looking for a decent lip balm for basically half of my life. I have constantly dry and chapped lips and it's a pain to deal with. I've tried so many things before but this is definitely the only lip balm/treatment that has worked for me so far. It's really amazing.
I payed R19.95 for this baby, (roughly about $1.99) which makes these SUPER affordable.
I have no issue with the packaging being in a small pot. I actually like it. I am an obsessive hand-washer so hygiene is generally not a worry for me. But aside from that, the application of this is great because you only need to apply a small amount in order to moisturise your lips. I've read reviews of people complaining about the milky colour that appears after a while and honestly I think that if you're building it up to a milky colour on your lips then you're definitely overdoing it. With this product, a little goes a long way. The lip butter also stays on your lips for a very long time (8 hours if you leave it on overnight) so reapplication shouldn't be an issue and there shouldn't be a worry about constantly sticking your fingers in the pot anyway.
It's honestly the best lip balm that I have ever come across. I will continue to repurchase this, probably forever.

This is my absolute favourite lip balm of all time. I have really dry chapped lips for the last ten years. This is the first product that really hydrates them and has 'fixed them'. My lips are no longer dry...I can go a day without lip balm and they will be OK still.
Changed my life. It's cheap, all flavours a subtle. Packaging is sturdy. Have repurchased it loads already.

There is nothing special about this balm that I can see. I bought the caramel flavor and it does smell delicious but that is the only good quality I've found. It's not very moisturizing, has a rather waxy texture that sits on top of lips and doesn't sink in. The main ingredient is petroleum and while it does contain several good things like shea butter and sweet almond oil, I think those are in pretty small quantities in the balm. It leaves a white cast on lips and I'm also not a fan of the little tub. I've been using it under my matte lipsticks and it's ok for that purpose but I most definitely won't be buying another one.

I love NIVEA products especially their lip products, they have always worked for me! I use the raspberry rose butter right now and it smells DELICIOUS, I think it is a perfect combination of two of my favorite smells. It moisturizes as all the NIVEA products do so well. The only 2 concerns might be the white cast it leaves on your lips (doesn't bother me because it fits fine with my skin/makeup) and the packaging is sometimes hard to open and it is obviously less sanitary compared to a lip balm because you are constantly dipping your fingers in it. I still love it!

I use raspberry rose it is the shiz. I keep it by my bed and even though I own a bunch of lip balms already, I know I'll be running to repurchase this one when it runs out. The soft pink color is fun, although I never wear it out. I'm really into this for the flavor, raspberry rose is a very unique fruity floral. No lip balm has ever came close to it's unique smell. I like that it's rich and creamy, makes a great lip treat before bed, helps me have sweet dreams. I wake up with my lips moisturized and ready to go!

I'm giving up on Nivea products. This lip butter was a total disaster (I have the Raspberry one). It smells great and it's cute and all, but its super sticky, not hydrating and leaves a white cast on the lips. I don't know how the other ones wear, maybe they're different from the one that I have but I'm extremely disappointed with this product. .
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Cool

Good product. I've owned them all and they all smell gorgeous. More importantly, they are all moisturizing beyond belief.
Drawback: because these are so rich, they will leave a white film when applied heavily. Thus I find them best for nighttime as a lip treatment. However, they can also be used very (and I mean VERY) lightly before applying a matte lipstick to prevent the lipstick from drying out your lips. My ritual is now a very light application of Nivea Lip Butter, then lip liner, then matte lipstick, with the result being comfortable to wear, fade resistant, and very long-wearing.

I love using this for a night time routine, but to wear the raspberry kind out in public would be a disaster. It's extremely light and filmy, but it does make your lips softer than any other lip product once it has seeped in. It's better than Vaseline, but appearance wise...no thanks

I bought all 3 flavors on impulse at CVS, and I'm happy I did cause I love them all. They all smell delicious and make my lips super soft. I wish I could get one of these for every space in my house so I'm never without them!
Raspberry Rose- It's a pastel pink color, which surprised me because I was expecting it to be more jewel-toned, but it's not a bad thing! When you put this one on it tints your lips slightly lighter pink, and it almost seems to have a silvery shine in it. The smell is almost like Nerds candy. It's great.
Caramel Cream- This is a cream color, like the color of evaporated milk. It goes on easy, and stays for a long time. Since it's spring, this probably isn't going to be my #1 for a while, but I can easily see myself really getting into this when Fall rolls around, it's exactly the kind of thing my lips crave in Autumn! This smells exactly like what you'd assume- salted caramel, with maybe a tiny hint of apple.
Vanilla Macadamia- This one is a milky white shade. And it's definitely my favorite of the three! I find myself reaching for it all the time! The scent is very in season for spring and I basically wish my entire life smelled exactly like this lip butter. It smells delicious, like a fresh-baked batch of sugar cookies.

Watching Destiny Godley on youtube and on her suggestion, I decided to buy and see what the fuss was about. Got it from amazon for about $4, although I'm sure its probably cheaper in the local drugstore. Anyway, I got Caramel Cream Kiss and even though it was smaller than I anticipated for the price(.59 oz/16.7 g), I wasn't let down. I use mines before bed and I wake up with nice, smooth and soft lips the next day. It has a very nice smell which reminds me of salted caramel which I love; it doesnt taste like anything, but I wasn't expecting that. It also contains shea butter, almond oil, glycerin and castor oil which are great for healthy skin no matter where you use them. Definitely a repurchase when I run out.

A bid manager oversees the process of bidding on contracts, from initial development and structuring to placing the bid to follow-up. They typically oversee a team that gathers the necessary information, performs cost analysis, and completes other tasks that are necessary to create an accurate and successful bid. Additionally, the bid manager is responsible for reporting the status of bids to executive management. An average day for a bid manager involves assessing the status of bids in progress, checking in with colleagues and department team members, reporting to direct supervisors, performing research, and refining bid data to present a polished bid. The job takes place primarily indoors, though in some cases travel and on-site inspection may be necessary for the manager to gather additional information for project completion.

Like many of you I'm growing weary of the ridiculous amount of money I'm paying each month for my phone service. Does anyone use Vonage? And if so, is it any good? Ian
Not sure about Vonage but I am within months of canning all my land lines. I have 3. 1 business - 1 home - 1 Fax and they cost me @$230 a month which is the same as my 3 phone cellular bill. I'd rather have the cellular any day of the week because I can call anywhere for the same fee.
I would love to try Vonage but my cable modem is so up and down I think I'd have outages all the time. I pay about $60 a month for two land lines and another $30 for my wife's cell before I pick up the phone. Don't ask why we need three. I don't have a good answer. Anyway, I got in a discussion here : http://www.kffl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124422&highlight=vonage back when I was posting on that four letter word. The two page discussion may, or may not, answer what your looking for. Or there's these threads : http://www.kffl.com/forums/search.php?searchid=358213 that all have the word "vonage" in somewhere. Everyone seems happy with it.
I use it and love it. I've had it for 4 months now. . .$27.17 a month (incl taxes for local and LD). . .compared to $65/month with bell south for limited local service.

22 May 2014
AN AUDIT by KPMG of Portugese financial giant Espirito Santo International (ESI) has found it is in a "serious financial condition".
In a US regulatory filing by its affiliate Banco Espirito Santo, details are revealed about the parlous financial condition of its parent. A review of ESI's financial statements for 30 September 2013 and 31 December 2013 by KPMG found irregularities in its accounts.
Further reading
The audit committee of Espirito Santo Financial Group (which owns a share of Banco Espirito and is itself part-owned by ESI) also identified irregularities in ESI's accounts.
While Banco Espirito stated that it was not responsible for ESI's problems, it accepted that it might face reputational damage as a result.
Debt from ESI had previously been sold to ESFG and subsequently onto Banco Espirito clients, a move that, while not illegal, had prompted the audit.
Banco Espirito CEO Ricardo Salgado had sat on ESI's board until March.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I've been picking apart Magento as time has allowed since its release two weeks ago, and I really wanted to release one of the first publicly available design themes. After some hard work (and believe me, there's more to come) I've managed to crank out version 0.1 of Tealo, which is the first available theme for Magento.
Update: The download has been removed, as it was outdated. A new version will be released for Magento 1.1, shortly after its stable release.
Main Features of This Release:
* Custom Logo and Favicon (for kicks) * Functional/Visible Skip Link (refresh and hit tab once to view) * Account/Cart Links Integrated Into the Main Navbar * Modern, JS-Free Horizontal Navigation Slide-Downs * An Appealing Color Scheme (at least I think so) * Company Name, Address and Phone Number in Header * Arrow With Contoured Drop Shadow on Nav Rollover (fancy, eh?)
Now, as with Magento's first release, understand that this theme is kind-of a preview release, and there is quite a bit more work to be done on it. I haven't touched the #main section a whole lot. Needing more time and inspiration for that. Magento's default CSS is still somewhat messy, everywhere. Also, with the style of navigation used, it can be limiting on the number of products you have. You cannot have more than probably 11 subcategories/products per category unless you shrink the nav font size a bit. Still, it's not perfect in it's current state, but over time I expect to improve it into a wonderful and inspiring theme. I'm not going for extreme innovation points here, just a couple fancy things to start with. For now, the purpose was to take control of Magento and see where it would take me. In the mean time, here's a roadmap of what's to come:
* Clean Up Magento's Default CSS, Strip Unused Styles * Style the module boxes inside the #main section * Clean Up Cart/Account Links in Nav (requires core controller changes) * Distinguish Between Categories and Account/Cart Links in Nav by * Adding Simple Icons to Cart/Account Links in Nav * Restructure XHTML as time allows to provide a simpler, lighter starting point for other layouts * Fix Cross Browser (read: IE) Bugs and Make Refinements * Skin the Admin Panel to Match * Update Theme as Magento Changes and Matures
Feel free to share your comments, constructive criticism, and any suggestions!
Update (2/3/09): The Tealo Magento theme is currently being overhauled, and rebuilt for the latest version. The new version will be ready for release on March 31st, 2009 and will remain free. I'm also working on a number of other themes, but have no estimated release date for those.
Very good work!
Here are my few points in this early development-phase: * Rather use the colors that Magento has picked for links, etc in the indeed very good top-menu (the a:hover color almost cant be seen) * I see you have expanded the total width of the store, at least in the header. The total width should fit a 1024x768 resolution For Magento: Maybe it would be a good idea to have a setting in the Magento Configuration to set the "Default store-width to either "1024x768", "800x600", etc). * Modify the hading so that the Categories dont get mixed up in the "My Account", "Log in", etc. buttons - as they have totally different functions. Maybe two rows, I dunno.
Anyway, keep it up!
Very nice Scott!
Thanks for the compliments aFFi and Roy.
aFFi, the CSS gave me quite a fight. It didn't want to accept the link color styles for all three tiers of navigation individually. Testing my method outside of M worked fine, so there must be some CSS scrambled in somewhere that's thwarting my process here…
Regarding the navigation, I agree it is difficult to distinguish between the categories and account links (a resolution for which is something I originally included on the roadmap). My current idea includes adding some custom icons to help them standout. But regarding stores with more than 8 categories, these links may get in the way if they remain in the navigation. I think they're fine for version 0.1 though.
If anyone has successfully installed Tealo in their store (you can do it temporarily by performing the following instructions) I would love to see it. Here are the steps:
1. Via SSH (or SCP) upload tealo.tgz to the server and untar it in Magento's root folder. The theme and skin folders should go to: app/design/frontend/default/tealo/ ... and ... skin/frontend/default/tealo/ ... respectively. A favicon.ico file should also replace the default M favicon.
2. Go to your admin panel, and go to System > Configuration and click Design in the sidebar. For each text field called Default, Layout, Template and Skin, and "tealo" (in lowercase, without quotes). Don't forget to Save Config.
3. You're done! (Hopefully) ... Paste your link here!
You can always go back to your theme later without messing anything up. That's the idea anyway. Note: The previous statements are not approved by the FDA. Tealo is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any diseases of the mind, body or creativity.... Just teasin'
A zip file is now available in case you cannot untar.

Yep, haven't had time to get to that yet (among other things). I will probably clean out the CSS files first, to make sure I can pinpoint the culprit of any bugs. Also, I will need to implement a little js to get the slide-downs to work in IE 6. Also, the third tier doesn't work in IE7. No worries, I'll get it taken care of.
You are first Nice work but no offence, You have changed only header and footer.
Sure, boss. But that's just a start
I can't design everything in 8-10 hours (which is about how long it took me to create version 0.1 once I found my footing with the design methodology)
I also wanted to approach the module redesign a bit differently, and wanted to give it more thought. So, I decided not to wait any longer in posting the theme. My main goal in this version was to redesign the elements outside the main content: header, navbar, footer, backgrounds, boarders, skip link, etc. And get a feel for moving around some of the blocks. The modules will be a while yet. I also want to make sure that everything I do is portable. I don't want to have everyone hacking their controllers and models. That's part of the reason I kept it simple for now.
I have tried to install the template but itôs giving this error after I untar the file:
Warning: require(app/Mage.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/produced/domains/producedinholland.nl/public_html/index.php on line 26
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'app/Mage.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5cgi/lib/php') in /home/produced/domains/producedinholland.nl/public_html/index.php on line 26
I think what is happening is that your /app/ and /skin/ directories were replaced altogether, which can happen with various methods of untarring. I'm going to get with Moshe and determine some standards for theme packaging, publishing and installation.
My apologies if that is what happened.
I have updated the files so that they will not overwrite any directories. This requires you to move them to their proper location and (optionally) rename the folders. A README is included that contains further instructions. Also, the zip file now includes the tar file to simplify the download (at a slightly increased file size of 2MB). For speed, the tar file can be downloaded by itself at about 1MB for those who wish to do so. Give it another go and you should be fine.
Here's another Atta'boy. Seriously, nice job, interesting concept with the drop downs nav and CSS only. this type of nav would be just the ticket for some stores I bet.
Off topic, does the cart run if JS is off or not functioning for some reason, just curious?
tzCart, there are some issues being brought up regarding js, primarily in this thread: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/96/
HI It is nice template. Here is a little issue with the color scheme what is select an item from main menu and then go to second level menu the color of the item for MOUSEOVER is very light that is why it is hard to read. Either make the background dark or mouseover color dark. Again it is a nice theme
Qumer, thanks for the compliments. I haven't had a lick of time to make changes to the template since I first released it. I will probably make changes soon, but I'm unsure when I will have some spare time to do so.
I thought the same thing, it's these types of little tweaks that individual users might be best in making, that way each site using the skin will have just a slight bit of it's own personality and choice regarding the color scheme imo.

NEW ORLEANS — A settlement outlined yesterday between a major manufacturer of Chinese-made drywall and homebuilders who used the tainted product in Florida, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi could affect anywhere from 800 to 1,500 homes, attorneys said.
Lawyers called it a significant step toward resolving problems with some 10,000 buildings blamed on the drywall.
Plaintiffs' lawyer Bruce Steckler said the settlement with the Knauf Group manufacturer involves reimbursements to builders for homes that have been fixed or are being repaired now, and others that are in line to be remediated. He expects U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon to approve the settlement.
Fallon presides over other cases involving more than 10,000 properties owned by people who blame damage to their homes, including corroding plumbing and electrical connections, on defective Chinese-made drywall.
Steckler acknowledged that there is a long way to go in settling the many cases but said the settlement was significant.
"We see now a collaborative and cooperative effort by homebuilders, the plaintiffs and Knauf to fix and repair homes," he said.
"It's a piece of the puzzle," said Russ Herman, head of a committee of attorneys representing plaintiffs in the case. The attorneys noted that more than a thousand other homes are included in an earlier court-approved pilot remediation program involving Knauf.
Herman said German-based Knauf was the maker of tainted drywall at plants in China that wound up in thousands of homes. Chinese-based businesses also provided significant amounts of the material that wound up in U.S. homes.

Following Pyramids, Pratchett was at this point in his career gaining real confidence with sustaining his comedy writing over the course of a more intricate and longer narrative. Guards! Guards! is has much more consistency than Pyramids, both in the flow of its story and the delivery of its gags. Like much British farce, Pratchett finds endless material in the comedy of errors and misunderstandings. Carrot's fish-out-of-water blundering — which naturally results in the proper enforcement of Ankh-Morpork's myriad laws for the first time in centuries — opens the path to redemption for Vimes and his fellow Night Watch "rank" (they're not big enough to have a "file"), that gets portrayed with genuine humor and warmth, never having to resort to sentiment.
Indeed, Ankh-Morpork really comes to vivid life in this novel for the first time in the whole series. We begin to get a sense of place in this absurdist dual-city like never before, and the way Pratchett lovingly realizes not only its colorful and ridiculous characters but its neighborhoods, customs, criminal underworld, overcrowded secret societies, what have you, almost makes it seem ... well, perhaps I shouldn't use the word "cosmopolitan." But Ankh-Morpork does come into its own as one of fantasy's most stunningly textured settings here, and it's the kind of development that adds to the groundwork from which Pratchett will go on to launch some of the series' best and most loved books.
Pratchett has enough fan sites cataloging all the series' best known gags and obscure references, so I won't go into any of those here. (Except to say that the notion of L-space hits me where I live.) While he does go for the obvious here and there — such as a nicely timed bit featuring Vimes doing a Dirty Harry routine while armed with a belching baby dragon — mostly I got a kick out of the way Pratchett simply immerses himself in his influences (like Wodehouse, naturally) and builds upon them to find his own voice as a humorist. And as a fantasist, he more than holds his own in every one of the action scenes. When Ankh-Morpork undergoes its uniquely Terryish form of urban renewal — by being flamed all over the place by a pissed-off dragon who's set itself up as king — the visuals conjured up are, in their way, as epic as anything you'll find in...erm, serious fantasy.
Maybe a little on the overlong side, Guards! Guards! is still as enjoyable a Discworld opus as most any of the others, and an important volume in the series' evolution from "silly and diverting" to "silly, diverting, stone brilliant, and on everybody's reading list."

1 Spam FestMooton | 08/10/2010 | See all Mooton's reviews (2)I have played both the closed and open BETAs for this and although the open BETA was an improvement on the closed BETA it was still pants.The whole thing is spammy as hell mostly due to the maps being about the size of a shoebox!Although the game looks and sounds fantastic the gameplay which in my opinion is the most important element of any game, falls flat on its face.It is as simple as this; If you like MW2 then you should like this as that is what this game is trying to be (with much better graphics and sound).If you like proper fps games that actually have: Guns with recoil, no gimmicky perks, decent sized maps, team play and proper PC support (spectate, mod tools etc) then dont waste your money on this trash, you will probably regret it.Ofcourse all of the above is based on MP gameplay and not SP, so if you are thinking about buying this for the single player campaign only, disregard the above.
5 Fantasticcitruskid | 21/06/2010 | See all citruskid's reviews (5)This game is excellent. Only been playingthe Beta for a few days but the game is almost ready to go as is. This game includes all the great aspects of modern war games such as modern warfare 2and bad company 2, but somehow keeps the honest and fun simplicity of previous MOH games and the Quake Series. Just go buy it
1 A very 'LIMITED' edition indeedShemsuHor | 25/10/2010 | See all ShemsuHor's reviews (1)Firstly please excuse the lack of correct punctuation as I had to remove it all in order to post GRRRR!With 3 modes to this game Single player Tier 1 and Multi player youre spoilt for choice WRONG. The clue is really in the title as this is a very limited game. Im a veteran of FPS games all the way back to DOOM and this is by far the biggest pile of poop I have ever played. Let me elaborate.Single player is way way too short and riddled with more bugs than the bullet holes in your Taliban targets. The bugs are the worst Ive ever experienced forcing entire missions to be replayed because a trigger fails to happen which is required to advance the story. This has happened to me on numerous occasions in ALL except 1 of the missions. I have spent 12 hours playing the game but at least 9 of that is repeating missions to try and get them to work and another hour or so wandering around with nothing happening solely trying to activate triggers. Were the play testers all asleep or did they test it on PS3 and get so bored they couldnt face the PC version and just signed it off.To highlight how short the SP game is lets look at Tier 1. This is basically a replay of the short SP game but with NO checkpoints so no re-spawns and a load of stats added. For example longest sniper kill most headshots highest accuracy and shortest completion time you get the picture. In the completion time stats EA give you a par time for completing each mission which equates to a total SP game time of ONLY 3hrs 8mins 30 sec. So they are admitting from the off that this is no SP game but you have to buy the thing to find out. Heres the kicker though any experienced fps gamer will complete each of the levels (if they worked) in around half the par time even on the hardest settings. That gives you a real-world SP game time of just over 1.5 hours. Thats 20 pounds an hour people!Multiplayer fares no better Im afraid with broken connections and unreliable servers. When you do eventually manage a game its a sniper free-for-all with the outcome mainly decided on where you initially spawn and how quickly you can get to a camping site to assume the position. An early death will just be followed by more of the same regardless of how good you are. There is currently a complete lack of balance within the game as a result. On the plus side there is a patch due imminently which may address the MP issues. Nothing so far for SP though.Give it a miss folks and save yourself the grief. I wish I had :-(

PBS Takes a Look at Henry Ford
tags: documentaries, PBS, Henry Ford, American ExperienceHenry Ford is the latest subject of "American Experience," which will be broadcast on PBS stations on Tuesday from 9 to 11 p.m. Other subjects include Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller.
Ford is the only one of the three who left a company with his name. Carnegie and Rockefeller are better known for philanthropic foundations, although Ford also created a foundation with his name on it.
If there's a lesson from Ford for today's entrepreneurs it is this: Don't stay in charge of the company too long.

His wife grew up in this town of 3,500, a bedroom community 25 minutes from Hartford; he's from the next town over. When the couple moved from Maine, four years ago, Tarr was struck by the lack of things to do in Broad Brook's sliver of a downtown.
"I was adrift and I needed something to do," says Tarr, an English literature major, with a penchant for philosophy, who has always had a "veritable bookstore" in his house. "And this town needed something. So it seemed like the right thing to do."
Other nascent booksellers also talk of filling a community need – by invigorating a sleepy hamlet or revitalizing an urban center – and being met with appreciation.
Fox Tale Books owner Mary McHale imagines she may be able to help give the 2,200 person town of New Durham, N.H., a heart. "Hopefully this will be a starting point," she says. "In some ways, we're like suburbia because everyone has to get in their car to go places." Her bookstore, where the coffee is free, may change that.
At the other end of the spectrum, in the middle of recently hip and thriving downtown Los Angeles, is Julie Swayze's Metropolis Books. Opened last month on a strip that she says was once referred to as the demilitarized zone, Ms. Swayze sees both arty loft-dwellers and homeless residents of the nearby Midnight Mission as part of her customer base.
Broad Brook Books, meanwhile, opened in August, in the 150-year-old red brick building owned by Tarr's mother-in-law, who is also his partner. Monthly rent just covers taxes and utilities, which may be key to staying open.
In the training seminars that her bookstore-consulting company conducts, Donna Paz Kaufman says she advises would-be owners to buy their own building. "Real estate is one of the biggest hurdles," she says. Business at Paz & Associates has held steady over the past 15 years, with about 300 prospective booksellers requesting information each year.

SPEX ResultsAs discussed in SPEX Experimental Design, two sets of experiments were conducted to verify the random walking mechanism. The first set was performed to detect potential leak reactions in the system, while the second set of experiments were used to verify the random walking mechanism. In short, walker goal with fluorophore is planted the end of the track, and walker with quencher is planted at the various positions on the track. When we input walker trigger, walker starts walking on the track. When it gets to the walker goal, it stops there and quenches the fluorophore. Therefore, by analyzing fluorescent level using SPEX, we can perform a bulk analysis of a percentage of walkers that reach the walker goals.
Detection of Potential Leak ReactionsTo verify that the walker walks on the origami using the intended mechanisms, we set up control groups where either tracks (TR), except for the one that the walker is bound to, or walker triggers (WT), or both, were missing in the reactions. Walkers are not expected to perform random walking under such conditions. As shown in Figure 1, no decrease in fluorescent signals were observed unless both tracks and walker triggers were added into the system. Hence potential leak reactions are negligible.
Random Walking with Different lengths of tracks using different starting sitesTo test space walk hypothesis, we annealed a control origami with unmodified staples at the track position. When we add tracks to this control origami, since unmodified staples does not contain the probe region, no track is formed on origami while added tracks are free floating in solution. This is called a space walk control, abbreviated as SW. In addition to the space walk control, we varied the lengths of tracks on origami, and observed the completion level with timely manner.
Comparison: Random Walking with full length of tracksSame starting positions that we used in the previous section were tested with full tracks, this time. Full track is longer than the longest track we tried previously. This new set of experiment also included space walk control. Results are plotted with the previous data to compare. Space walk control of two different set of experiment was very consistent, and the completion time of full tracks was slower than that of partial tracks. Full track samples showed similar completion time regardless of different starting position, even though starting position 22, which is a middle length track, showed a little digression; it needs a further discussion. Overall, SPEX data consistently shows that completion time is dependent on track length, suggesting a high probability of random walk on origami.
Data AnalysisMatlab SimulationWe used a stochastic MATLAB simulation to estimate half-completion times for walkers starting on truncated tracks of varying lengths:
Mathematical Formulae
ConclusionWe made a comparison between the models from Matlab simulation and random walk formulae. Results are summarized in the table below.

Rick Springfield, the 1980s pop star icon, came close to singing a new tune -- the blues. But he's off the hook now. The Australian-born singer will not be prosecuted for alleged spousal abuse, Reuters reports. Springfield, 51, was arrested last month after police were called to his Malibu, Calif., home and found swelling and scratch marks on his wife's face and arms.
But since then, his wife and sister, who originally pressed charges, have changed their story, so now the charges have been dropped because of insufficient evidence, the District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
"The case is not provable because the only evidence that the victim was assaulted is the hearsay statement made to her sister. ... The victim is nondesirous of prosecution and refuses to be interviewed further," prosecutors said in a report.
Springfield on the night of his arrest told sheriffs that he grabbed his wife, Barbara, in self-defense after she allegedly hurled a jar at him.
Springfield is best known for the '80s hit single "Jessie's Girl" and his starring role in the soap opera "General Hospital."
NO MORE PHISH-ING? The rock band Phish is calling it quits, for now.
Right when the Burlington, Vt.-band was having the best year of its career, the members have simultaneously reached a point of exhaustion and want to spend time with their families, The New York Times reported the band's manager as saying.
There's no word on when they'll be back, either, but it doesn't look like it'll be anytime soon. At the moment, Phish has neither plans to record a new album nor any scheduled concerts. They performed their last concert Saturday in Mountain View, Calif. However, the band's manager, John Paluska, referred to the news split as "temporary."
The news came as quite a surprise since Phish is known for thriving at festival-type events such as their annual New Year's Eve shows and the summer concerts where tens of thousands of fans have been known to show up for their shows. The band members, however, had no comment on the announcement.

Chapter 19: A Terrible Nightmare and Another Newcomer.
- - - - -
Later that night, Humphrey woke up to find Kate, Wildfire and Jet were gone from the den.
"Kate, Wildfire, Jet were are you" Humphrey said, but there was no response.
Humphrey went out looking for Kate and his pups but had no luck. Then he saw a light coming from a distance and ran towards it.
"What could that be?" Humphrey says,
When he got to the source of the light, he hid low in some tall grass and saw some poachers.
"They sure do look awfully familiar." Humphrey says,
Humphrey went back to get the pack to help him but couldn't find them, he got more worried. He went back to where the poachers he found and was watching closely at what they were doing and saw his mate and his pups in a cage but where were the rest of the pack.
"What am i going to do?" Humphrey asked himself, closing his eyes.
When Humphrey opens his eyes, he finds he was in his den, woken up by Kate.
"Humphrey, Humphrey wake up." Kate says softly,
Humphrey slightly jolted up looking around to see Jet asleep. Humphrey had a sigh of relief but where was Wildfire.
"Where's Wildfire?" Humphrey said worryingly,
"She's out with Star, is something wrong?" Kate replies,
"I had a terrible nightmare where you and the pups were taken by poachers." Humphrey says, "It was terrible, I don't know what i would do with out you guys."
"That is terrible, Humphrey." Kate says "But its OK, We're all here now."
"I know." Humphrey says, nuzzling Kate,
"Come lets go hunt, that will cheer you up." Kate says.
"Good idea." Humphrey says as he leaves with Kate.
The next morning, Humphrey and Kate tell the others about the nightmare Humphrey had.
"So, that's what happened in your dream?" Wildflower asks,
"Yes." Humphrey replies.
"Strange, I had that same dream last night." Garth says,
"Same here." Hutch says,
"I wonder what this could mean." Lilly says,
"It beats me." Kate says, "But we better keep a close eye on the ones who can't defend themselves."
"That would be Star and Lupa." Garth says,
"But Lupa gets nervous and might break down when someone watches her." Wildflower says,
"But doesn't she stay with you all day?" Kate asks,
"Only when she's not in the den or with her friends." Wildflower replies,
"Well, then it should be easy that way." Humphrey says, "Lupa's very close to you after all like Wildfire is to Kate."
"You got that right." Wildflower says,
"But let's try to keep an eye on Star and Lupa." Hutch says, "The dreams we had may find a way of coming true."
Meanwhile, at Hutch and Wildflower's den...
"Hey sis, what're you doing out here?" Ralph asks Lupa,
"Oh, just waiting for Mom to get back." Lupa says in her usual quiet voice,
"Hey, who's that?" Ralph asks, noticing a white figure in the distance.
"I don't know." Lupa says, "Tell Aatu to check it out."
"Already on it." Aatu says, walking toward the figure.
After a moment, Aatu reaches the figure, revealed to be an arctic wolf pup with golden eyes about the same height as his. Judging by Aatu's eyes, the wolf pup seemed frightened and nervous.
"Hey there." Aatu says, slowly walking out from his hiding place.
"Oh, hi." the wolf pup says nervously.
"What's your name?" Aatu asks calmly,
"Comet." the pup says,
"You know, Comet, you remind me a lot of my little sister." Aatu says,
"How?" Comet asks,
"Well, from how I see it, you're shy, don't like crowds, and don't talk much hence how quiet you are." Aatu says, walking around Comet, eyeing every inch of the pup. "That's how my sister is."
"And you look like a wolf who means business and doesn't goof around." Comet says nervously,
"What makes you think that?" Aatu asks, giving Comet a friendly smile to prevent frightening him.
"From how you look and smell." Comet says, "I have great eyesight, hearing, smell, and sense of touch."
"No kidding." Aatu says,
"Hey Aatu." Wildflower says, walking up, "Who's your friend?"
"His name's Comet." Aatu says, "We just met."
"He sure doesn't look so good." Wildflower says, noticing how skinny Comet was.
"Would you like something to eat?" Wildflower asks Comet softly, lying on the ground to avoid intimidating the pup with her height.
"Yes, please." Comet says nervously,
"Then come with me." Wildflower says, walking toward the den.
Later, Wildflower's family was chowing down on some freshly caught caribou with Comet.
"So, why don't you tell us about yourself?" Wildflower asks,
Comet replies by curling up as if scared, but Wildflower's gentle blue eyes made him feel brave enough to tell everyone.
"Well... I'm an orphan." Comet says,
"For how long?" Wildflower asks,
"Since I was very young." Comet replies, "I don't have any siblings either."
"So you grew up on your own?" Wildflower asks,
"Yes." Comet says,
"No wonder he looked so thin." Aatu whispers,
"Aatu!" Hutch scolds Aatu while whispering,
"Sorry." Aatu says, curling up.
"Well, upon the Alphas' word, you can stay here for as long as you want." Wildflower says,
"OK." Comet says,
Later, Wildflower exits Kate and Humphrey's den, with the news.
"So?" Comet asks,
"They're allowing you to stay." Wildflower says,
"Thanks." Comet says,
"You're welcome." Wildflower says, "Now what do you say we get acquainted with the others and familiar with the landscape?"
"The landscape will be fine." Comet says,
"OK, come along then." Wildflower says, walking off with Lupa and Comet following.
"So, you're an orphan?" Lupa asks Comet,
"Yes." Comet says, then he looks at Lupa. "You're fur is beautiful."
"Thanks." Lupa says shyly, blushing in the process.
"Sorry, it kinda slipped out." Comet says, also blushing.
"Don't worry about it." Lupa says,
