Typhoeus, the Unquelled Storm
Height: 220 meters
Wingspan: 590 meters
Length: 625 meters (from head to tail)
Mass: 75,000 metric tons
Homeworld: Orith
Quadrant Activity: Sugos Galaxy
Threat Level: Universal
Containment Procedure/Method: Reliable containment methods of entities of Typhoeus level of power remain elusive; even permanently induced coma would be ineffective in indefinitely restricting such a creatures capacity to influence the environment around it. Current studies are being explored in the possibility of deliberate creation of non-linear dimensional prison, within which Typhoeus would have no discernable space to manipulate.
From the Tablet of Orithan verses 1 - 6: THE BIRTH OF THE BEAST:
Born from the raging inferno of the womb of ORTIHAN, THE BEAST Typhoeus was the living embodiment of rage and aggression that lashed out at the planet which had birthed it.
Setting Orith ablaze of his own spite, THE BEAST caused destruction and carnage wherever he went. Surely Typhoeus would have continued his vendetta until every the very heavens turned into dust; fortunately the SOLAR GUARDIAN of Orithan intervened. Facing the BEAST and its fury, the Solar Protector engaged the beast head on for the very will of Orith itself. The Solar Guardian casts the Beast down with its power and entombed it within the mountain side where the beast has laid ever since
- Incalculably powerful
- Impervious to mental, energy and physical assaults
- Can control the fundamental elements of the planet
- Powerful wings capable of producing maelstrom force winds
- Capable of controlling the weather and geology of planets
- Massive telekinetic abilities capable of lifting his own monstrous frame with ease
Main Storyline: The Trials of Cretaphus prt. 12
Narrowly avoiding the perils of the battle between Echidna and Cretaphus; Clarecles, his wife Geanin, and mentor Bellphon ventured deeper into Mt. Pya with the hopes of escaping the area and returning home. Both Clarecles and Bellphon felt some eerie form of déjà vu while within the massive tunnels of Echidnas lair having not just a few days ago being in a similar situation before being attacked by Lycian. There was one difference however, the overwhelming heat which emanated all around them as they traversed deeper into the mountain. It was unbearable but sadly there was no other direction but forward less they desired to risk getting passed the Marked Ones, let alone Cretaphus and Echidna. But as they began to make deeper into the mountain, the trio discovered the cause of the extreme temperature and far more.
The mountain was a still very active volcano.
Pools and streams of lava expelled through massive openings within a humongous crater inside the mountain. But within the center of the cavern, surrounded and bathed by the lava, lay horror which brought everyone to a standstill. The Beast itself, TYPHOEUS the father of all Monsters.
The very knowledge that Typhoeus was an actual being was a shock. Everyone knew the stories and folklore of the Beast but no one had ever seen it with their own eyes and some even considered it a myth. Even the Marked Ones had their doubts about the existence of Typhoeus as Echidna never allowed a soul into her cave, not even her own children. It was a strain for Clarecles and his group to acknowledge that Typhoeus was a living creature and was right in front of them. Typhoeus however remained idle within his home even though three intruders had just entered his domain. It was as though he was in a trance, motionless despite his eyes being lazily open and his chest inhaling and exhaling indicating his was indeed very much alive. Bellphon however knew that there was nothing they could do about the state of affairs and pressed that they attempt to go back to the entrance as there was clearly no other way exit from the cave. Geanin on the other hand had discovered something interesting at the entry point of the cavern and implored the others to take a look at it for themselves.
There at the entry of the cavern was a corpse and on the rocks in front of it was an inscription chiseled into it which detailed the secret the Beast
The inscription told of the man named Thaseo who was one of the earliest Marked Ones. He had ventured into the cave while Echidna had been away to discover the secrets of the great serpents for himself. While traversing the cave Thaseo came upon the Beast while it slumbered at it was here where Beast made contact with him. The Beast though contemptuous of Thaseo for entering his tomb none the less gave the young adventurer exactly what he desired and filled his head with all the information about the creatures true intentions.
Typhoeus was creature from times past, created by forces which not even he knew of. Regardless, since his existence Typhoeus had done nothing but destroy everything in his wake on that planet Ortih and nearly succeeded wiping out all life on the planet until the day a horned creature arrived and defeated him, entombing him inside the mountain.
Typhoeus body had been severely damaged after his defeat and despite all his attempts, he could not free himself. But after centuries of imprisonment, one day Echidna came to the planet and it was then that Typhoeus discovered the opportunity he was seeking to free himself.
Typhoeus called out to Echidna whom after discovering his tomb, had become infatuated by Typhoeus and two began to copulate with one another despite Typhoeus body being inoperative. Typhoeus however had no true sentiments for Echidna, nor a desire to mate with her. He did however desire his freedom yet could not gain it with his body in the condition it was. Typhoeus had merely manipulated Echidna onto mating with him. Instead of merely conceiving children for him, Typhoeus exuded his power into his spawn and knew that when they perished he could reabsorb their life force to rejuvenate his own, a fact Echidna remained blissfully unaware of.
It was a dark plan indeed and even Thaseo was disgusted with the plot. Thaseo desired to stop Typhoeus, unfortunately after conversing with the beast; he was eventually driven insane and could do little to halt Typhoeus. But before madness consumed him, Thaseo had forged an amulet out of some of the beasts body and imbued it with the spirit of Orithan so that if ever Typhoeus was freed, their was a way to stop him.
But as Geanin continued to read the inscription, they suddenly began to experience massive earthquakes originating from outside the cave.
It was Cretaphus, bashing at the mountain with all he could muster and Clarecles knew full well that he was coming for Typhoeus. Bellphon however angrily insinuated that Cretaphus had doomed them all.
After hearing Typhoeus plan, Bellphon realized that Cretaphus had been playing right into the beasts hands. Cretaphus had murdered many of Typhoeus children, something the Beast certainly desired and with even Echidna now possibly dead, there was no doubt that Typhoeus would awaken soon.
Clarecles however protested that Cretaphus was only attempting to save them from Typhoeus and that now that they knew what the Jewel of Orithan was for, they could simply destroy the beast now before he could fully be awakened.
Unfortunately Clarecles had no idea how the Jewel was supposed to work which both Bellphon and even Geanin chastised him for. Even worse, with all the activity Cretaphus was creating outside, Typhoeus was beginning to stir from his coma, his body becoming more and more restless. Both Geanin and Bellphon knew they needed to leave especially with everything spiraling out of control but Clarecles was still slightly hesitant to follow yet did so none the less.
Cretaphus was eager to confront his foe, clobbering and ramming the mountain with more and more tenacity. There was something far deeper than mere animosity between the two, this was vendetta. For no one knew that it was Cretaphus whom had defeated Typhoeus long ago and though at the time he was not powerful enough to vanquish his foe, he at least imprisoned him within the mountain so he could no longer devastate the world he was born on. Unfortunately when Echidna arrived on the planet and began to give birth to the horrid creatures spawn, Cretaphus rushed back to the planet to finish what he started so long ago. Both creatures hated each other like no other. Cretaphus, the champion of evolution who could not destroy a beast created merely to dissolve progression. And Typhoeus, a monster conceived merely to test the limit of evolution and to destroy every other known factor of it. There was more to the two than their simple hatred of the other, something locked within the past that would soon begin to devastate the future and with one final blow, Cretaphus pierced the mountain to the tomb of Typhoeus and the Beast sprang forth to attack.
Clarecles and his group narrowly managed to escape the cave before seeing the horrendous sight of Cretaphus interlocked in battle with Typhoeus.
With Typhoeus free, Bellphon knew they had to escape and warn everyone that the Beast had been set loose on Orith. Clarecles however insinuated that Cretaphus was the only one would destroy Typhoeus once and for all and that Bellphon was wrong about the creature, Cretaphus was never falling into Typhoeus plans he was merely killing him in the best way possible. Without any of his children left, Typhoeus could not be reborn by any means and Cretaphus knew that better than anyone. Clarecles resolved to help Cretaphus by any means he could and rushed off towards the two battling titans to find a way. When Bellphon looked to Geanin for assistance in stopping Clarecles diluted state, Geanin could muster that she would support her husbands decision as she had no right to stop him. With that in mind the two decided to leave and entrust the future of the planet to Clarecles and Cretaphus.
Typhoeus and Cretaphus crashed into one another left and right as the twos long time struggle for dominance had finally boiled over to this moment. Cretaphus had faced every a majority of Typhoeus brewed and had vanquished even Echidna but none even came close to Typhoeus in might. The Beast truly lived up to its name, slashing and tearing at Cretaphus with more tenacity and rage than even Cretaphus himself. What was worse, the much larger Typhoeus had much more control over the environment than he had previously before. Using the very force of nature itself at his disposal, Typhoeus began to instinctively summon storms and hurricanes to assault his foe. Even the very ground was at Typhoeus command as lava and rock slowly began to seep out of the ground to consume Cretaphus. Cretaphus on the other hand ignored it all and merely stood valiantly against the elements to destroy his enemy. The battlegrounds could easily be compared to hell itself and in the middle were the two behemoths, ignorant of all except the other.
Clarecles too was caught in the hell strum. But unlike the behemoths, he could hardly stand the forces of the elements which surrounded him. Storms quickly turned to hail and hail, mixed with the lava and explosion of grounds, to deadly ash which created near impenetrable visibility. Still, Clarecles resolve was absolute and he refused to falter as he made his way towards the battle, the Jewel of Orithan being his only guide as it inexplicably began to glow the more Typhoeus summoned his power.
Since arriving on the planet and saving him from Neamaeus, Clarecles had followed Cretaphus all around the land of Orith and had been challenged by the tribulations of doing so. Yet Clarecles had never truly understood why he had done so. Following Cretaphus had been foolish and challenging the children of the beast was even more so. But Clarecles never felt any resentment for doing so. He had endangered family, friends, loved ones all for one in reason that not even fully acknowledged. Deep in his heart he somehow realized that Cretaphus had come to save his world from the monsters and demons that had plagued it for so long and he wished to help by any means possible. But as he traversed the broiling and cloudy landscape, he finally managed to catch up to the two giants. However, as Clarecles began to make his way deeper into the cloud of ash which they fought, an explosion from within it rocked the area and one of the creatures fell defeated in front of him. To Clarecles horror it was Cretaphus who had fallen, and Typhoeus, emerging from the background was poised to deliver the killing blow.
Clarecles rushed to Cretaphus aid as Typhoeus began to surround the two with his massive frame. Clarecles urged Cretaphus to continue to fight and that he was the only one who could stop Typhoeus now that he had awakened. Cretaphus looked at the miniscule Clarecles and wearily began to rise from the dirt. However as soon as Cretaphus began to lift his head, Typhoeus slammed him to the ground with his hand and bellowed at his foe indicating that there was no chance of winning against him.
Clarecles however yelled back at Typhoeus and screamed that no matter what happened to him; as long as the beast died he would be satisfied and immediately raised the Jewel of Orithan into the air, signifying his defiance.
Typhoeus largely ignored Clarecles words yet when the young man lifted the Jewel, its glow aroused Typhoeus attention. Typhoeus glared at the tiny creature that would dare defy his power despite his champions defeat and slowly knelt down to get a better look at it. Face to face the two stared at each other with enough intensity to split a mountain until Typhoeus finally roared in anger at his much smaller challenger.
Clarecles stood firm against the Beast and only exclaimed that he could never be afraid of such a weak minded being before being swallowed whole by the creature. But as Typhoeus once again roared at his victory against his second enemy, he suddenly realized that the Cretaphus shell had opened and was irradiated with power.
Witnessing Clarecles heroic sacrifice, Cretaphus once again found the will to continue the fight and immediately blasted Typhoeus clear across the battlefield with all he could muster. Typhoeus however was far from defeated and quickly righted himself to attack Cretaphus once again. Unfortunately as Typhoeus began his attack, something began to upset the great beasts body as he slowly began to cringe and double back in pain. This was the opportunity Cretaphus needed as he once again began to irradiate with power in a final attempt to obliterate his foe. Typhoeus, ignoring the pain, managed to meet Cretaphus head on and the entire area was blanketed with the two opposing forces power.
Several miles away, Geanin and Bellphon noticed the explosion before being hit by its aftershocks. Geanin attempted to return to the area but was immediately halted by Bellphon who dreadfully explained that no one could have survived the explosion and with heavy hearts, the two quietly continued their journey back home.
Several months later, Orith had managed to heal from the events that had devastated it. Yet something was very different. Without the children of the Beast or the beast itself, the ecosystem was already beginning to let itself go in a manner that could only be described as freedom. The Beasts power had subjugated everything on Orith but now that he was gone, a more natural order was resetting itself. Even the inhabitants of Orith had begun to express much more liberty now that the Beasts children and the Marked Ones were no longer preying on them on a daily basis and were beginning to colonize areas that would have been considered unlivable just a year before.
In the village where Clarecles had once lived, it too was beginning to experience a revolution like never before. The village had been rebuilt and peoples lives reconstituted now that there was little to fear from the Beast. All of this was of course thanks to Clarecles and Cretaphus who together had given their lives to secure the future of Orith.
Two statues had been constructed of both. One of the mysterious creature (whose true name no one actually knew) who had come from beyond the heavens to challenge the Beast and sacrificed himself twice to destroy its plague. And of course the other was of Clarecles, the warrior whose indomitable spirit never faltered and showed everyone that despite the dangers, you must always fight to protect those you love.
Geanin visited both statues on a regular basis and every time gave both tributes in honor (and love) of them. She was heartbroken that Clarecles was no longer with her but could not help being more proud of him than anyone else could. He had freed her from the duty of being a Marked One and even more saved the entire world along with Cretaphus. Still she missed him greatly and the only solace was their young child whom she appreciated more so now than ever. But one day as she made her way to the statues to leave it gifts as she had done since its creation, a mysterious cloaked figure stood in front of them and when the figure turned to face her, Geanin was filled with more joy at seeing his face than she had ever known before.
The final chapter in the Trials of Cretaphus arc. I figured that since this
has been sitting in my gallery for so long it was time for a new rendition of the character. Finally finished with this saga, time to move on

First off: YES. A million times yes. Typhon is hands down the biggest and baddest monster from mythology, and you've done it more justice than I've ever seen. This is how it should be done. Bravo.
Also, does this mean we won't see anymore of Cretaphus? I can't wait to find out!

An amibiguous end to an epic story. Now I'm wondering if Cretaphus survived that battle or if he gradually recovered and moved on. Typhoeus is just utterly massive and overwhelming, as he should be. I had to download the image so I could see all of him. I think Godzilla himself would pale in terror at facing this thing. Glad to see Orinth went back to a stable ecosystem.

Sometimes you can't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
That's certainly the case when it comes to making a mouth-watering kale salad. There's nothing this tough plant likes more than being worked over, breaking down the fibrous leaves with your fingers to reveal its tender side.
It's called massaging, but we're not talking about a gentle, relaxing rubdown — it's more like the kind that leaves you wincing in a hurts-so-good kind of way. Once it's been thoroughly pummeled, this green can compete in the yum department with any of the popular youngsters like arugula or baby spinach.
So, grab some massage oil — a.k.a. salad dressing — and get to work. Don't be afraid to really smoosh the leaves together, pushing them between your thumb and fingers; it's quite cathartic, especially after a frustrating day at work.
And don't be alarmed by the enormous bowl of greenery in front of you: after a few minutes of effort the volume will magically shrink down to a manageable portion and the leaves will take on a deep, dark hue. A quick nibble will determine if the bitterness has departed and you're done, or if a bit more work is required.
Kale is a nutritional rockstar — it's loaded with fiber and has impressive amounts of iron, calcium and vitamins A, C and K to boot. There are several varieties, but for salads I prefer the ruffled curly variety, which is easy to find in the grocery store. You can also use lacinato kale — a.k.a. dinosaur, Tuscan or cavolo nero — with its long, slender leaves that are tinted blue-green.
This is one veg that I always try to buy organic. While it's not on the Environmental Working Group's "Dirty Dozen" list of foods that "showed high concentrations of pesticides relative to other produce items," it does earn a mention as one to watch.
- 8 oz prepared polenta (half a ready-made tube)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2 oz sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp golden balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup loosely packed chopped basil
- 1 tsp agave nectar (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 large bunch kale, curly or lacinato
- 6 marinated artichoke heart halves, cut in half
- 2/3 cup chopped roasted red pepper
- 10 black olives, halved
- 1 1/2 cups cooked cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut polenta into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a small bowl. Toss gently with olive oil and Italian seasoning. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown, turning once halfway through.
- While the polenta is cooking, place sundried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Drain tomatoes, reserving soaking liquid. Chop tomatoes into small pieces and place in a mini food processor along with garlic, vinegar, basil and agave (if using). Add one tablespoon reserved soaking liquid and pulse until tomatoes are finely chopped. Add olive oil and puree until smooth. If necessary, add more soaking liquid, one tablespoon at a time, to thin. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
- Wash kale well and remove stems. Tear into small pieces (if using lacinato kale, cut leaves into ribbons) and place in large bowl. Add the dressing and rub leaves together for two to three minutes until they start to glisten and soften. Take a taste; if the leaves are still bitter or tough, keep massaging for a couple more minutes.
- Add artichoke hearts, red pepper, olives and beans. Toss gently to mix.
- Arrange on plates and top with warm polenta croutons.

I ordered the Bushwacker pocket flares from Amazon.com. They have the best price I've found by far.
But I can't recommend the darn things. I'm running the very common combination of a 3" lift with a 285 width 33" tire. I bought them to cover the tires, which now stick out past the factory flares. Bushwacker's ad copy makes it *seem* like this will work:
But, I didn't get the coverage I was looking for at all!:
As you can see, the tires still stick out past the fenders! So, I went back and re-read the "to learn more" link. The only thing I can figure after reading it is that they measure coverage AFTER removing the OEM Flare. I find this misleading at best, deliberately deceptive at worst.
As far as the actual install went, it was a bit more time consuming than I would have expected, but I have no gripes about the construction/installation/fit of the product. No wait, actually I do have one - they don't take advantage of the factory flare clips or clip attachment points, and without them, the front flares seem to have a bit of a tenuous hold on the front fenders. Not to worry though - since they're designed to look "bolt on" I chose a few of the dummy-just-for-looks bolts and replaced them with sheet metal screws right into the fender itself. Problem solved. That back fenders had GRIP, and didn't seem to need this treatment.
Here's how they look:
The "dummy bolt on" flares actually go pretty well with the "dummy bead lock" wheels. But really, I don't give a darn about the bling look. I want my tires covered!

I noticed that at the end of the game when you're in the Moleman shrine setting up the dimensional rift generator, that you can plug a large power cable into the Devil's Toychest and then turn on the boiler to make the molemen sweat, causing a puddle of sweat to form around the presumably electrified chest.
My original thoughts were that I set up this trap and then wait for the rift to close and Skunkape to try and open it, but instead you just need to use the paddle ball to entice the dumb gorilla to let go and get sucked into Sam & Max's Penal Zone (lol, I love that gag).
Is this other "puzzle" misdirection? The rift never closes no matter what you do or how long you wait, so there is nothing the "electrified" chest and puddle of mole juice accomplish.

"I think Amazon is going to take off," said TheStreet's Jim Cramer, co-manager of the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio. If Piper Jaffray is correct, the stock could zoom back to its pre-earnings level near $400, he reasoned.
Turning to another high-dollar stock, Cramer noted AutoZone (AZO - Get Report) is feeling the love from analysts. Citigroup bumped its price target to $620 from $545, while R.W. Baird increased its price target to $550 from $500.
"People have to focus right now because this stock's about to go up very big," Cramer said.
He pointed out the company's buyback program remains very aggressive, cutting the share count in half over the past five years. "It's time to buy," he reiterated for one of the few companies that actually benefits from the brutal winter weather that has wreaked havoc on much of the U.S. The company has the "best management in the industry" and is also one of the most shareholder-friendly companies, he concluded.- - Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

Ashley Walters has revealed his "guilty pleasure" is reality TV and he loves nothing more than to catch up on his favourite episodes.
The former So Solid rapper admitted to TaleTela.com that he likes to catch up on his favourite reality shows with the mother of his kids.
"My guilty pleasure is most reality TV to be honest, except Made In Chelsea. My girlfriend watches that it's dead-out," the rapper-turned-actor revealed.
Probed on whether he is a fan of the glossed-over style TV programmes or more gritty urban entertainment, Ashley said:
"With reality shows what we want to watch is people's lives that are much worse than ours. Train crash disasters, or we want to see people's lives that are much better than ours. So I don't think Peckham is going to be that exciting for anybody to watch,"
The Bullet Boy actor added that a reality show based on urban city lifestyles probably would not have the same edge as other glamourous reality shows.
"It's not griping TV. We've seen it all before with Adulthood and Kidulthood and Bullet Boy... The fact of the matter is that type of TV appeals to people because it's lives that you can't have," the 30-year-old added.
"Which is why is why I still watch it because my life isn't like that. I'm still in the struggle. That's why I love it... The fakeness that these people are living up to."
"I can sit back and watch those things and think isn' life isn't really that bad because I've got the love of a good woman and my beautiful children and my family are core to me," the star added.

With the addition of season 3. i think it would be a great addition to the game if they added in the option for personal desires, to Flip the map, Thus making Purple side look like blue side. I only play on Locked cam, So it's pretty annoying trying to use long range skill shots (IE: Final Spark) On Purple side angle. I think i would enjoy the game a lot more as well as other Locked cam users when placed on purple side. I hope Locked cam and Non-Locked cam users alike agree with me! ~L0lboy11
Styx 14
I think that would be nice. I think there are more important things such as testing the new jungle and eliminating bugs before the regular season starts but being able to flip would be a nice addition
Well their's your problem. YOU LOCK CAM! No one should lock-cam because it reduces your map awareness and ability to preform. Just unlock cam and its fine. There is no problem with purple/blue side. They are not gonna waste their time trying to make this time-consuming useless update.
yea its hard with long range skill such as malph ult... but i dont think that adding this option would be a good idea
Senior Member
wont do because they would need to program and render the m-a from that angle, pre rendered things dont just "flip" sry to say
code wise this is simply impossible. There are two ways to do this, both of which would require a MASSIVE amount of client/server computation. The location of everything is tracked with x,y coords. If everyone is on blue side visually then there is basically two games running at the same time, the real one and the one you are seeing. Double the strain and see what happens. purple is not hard. dont lock your cam.
The angle you do not see is actually not even there lol. The textures and increased models make the game run like **** so they deleted them to allow ppl with low end computers able to run the game.
I completely agree with this idea and had a long list of expansions upon it, but I'm waiting for the release of the new Summoner's Rift (with the updated jungle) before I start voicing complaints. I actually spent a long time compiling a list of differences between playing purple and playing blue, only because the game truly feels harder when you're on purple team and I wanted to see if it was just my imagination or if there was a reason. In fact, there's a LOT of reasons. Look at the rotation of the wraith camps, the bushes in top, the offset between jungle exit and major control points, the widths of tribushes,... The list goes on and on. There's a lot of things that look like they were designed by artists and not engineers, and so the map just isn't symmetrical. Made even worse by the UI blocking half your vision if you're purple. Along with several tweaks to the map, I had two changes in mind. The first is like you said - flipping the map. This would NOT BE COMPUTATIONALLY DIFFICULT, despite what some may think. Rotating the camera in League would be as easy as rotating the camera in any other 3-dimensional game. Why can you and a friend look different directions in Halo without "basically two games running at the same time"? Because your computer knows the x and y positions of everyone in absolute coordinates and moving a camera doesn't change this. If the blue nexus is at 0,0 and the purple nexus is at 5000,5000 then all we're effectively doing is placing 5000,5000 in the bottom left and 0,0 in the top right - NOT creating a parallel world in which the purple nexus is at 0,0. This would fix a lot of UI issues, and map tweaks would be made to fix issues like the wraith camp and top lane bushes. As for the control points, I recommend randomizing them. Half the time have dragon spawn near bottom lane and half the time have dragon spawn near bottom lane, chosen randomly at the beginning of the game. This would add a few interesting strategy elements to the game. The current meta supports an AD carry in bottom because their higher DPS makes for easy dragon steals. With a randomly spawning dragon the AD carry wouldn't know whether they were best in top or bottom until too late. Plus it would require either more running through river or more warding early game in order to learn the layout of the day's current jungle.
If you play with cam locked, don't. If the hud gets in your way, make it smaller.

i copied 'app/design/adminhtml/default/default' -now is there a way to tell magento to use the new location for the admin area??
Anyone have an answer for this? I am trying to do the same thing.
Right now the only way to configure which theme admin will use is in app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Controller/Action.php::preDispatch
Mage::getDesign()->setArea('adminhtml') ->setPackageName('default') ->setTheme('default');
Moshe - 19 November 2007 03:03 PMRight now the only way to configure which theme admin will use is in app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Controller/Action.php::preDispatch Mage::getDesign()->setArea('adminhtml') ->setPackageName('default') ->setTheme('default');
app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Controller/Action.php on 0.9.17740 has: ->setTheme((string)Mage::getConfig()->getNode('stores/admin/design/theme/default_clean'));
Where do I set the value for 'stores/admin/design/theme/default_clean'?
For 0.9.17740, Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action::preDispatch sets theme with the value:
you can set the value at app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml:
<stores> <admin> <!-- default admin design package and theme --> <design> <package> <name>default</name> </package> <theme> <default>default</default><!-- I added the following line to specify my own theme --> <default_clean>my_own_theme</default_clean> </theme> </design> </admin> </stores>
now, adminhtml uses app/design/adminhtml/default/my_own_theme/.
Does this work as well for specifying the adminhtml skin ?
You can specify the adminhtml package/theme in any module's config.xml (hint, hint: use your own and don't modify the core files):
<stores> <admin> <!-- default admin design package and theme --> <design> <package> <name>package</name> </package> <theme> <default>theme</default> </theme> </design> </admin></stores>
Or you can set it programmatically by registering an event observer on the controller_action_predispatch or controller_action_predispatch_start events. Just be sure you don't hide the default behavior: controller_action_predispatch is used to process logins, and observers of controller_action_predispatch_start sets the store to be the default 'admin' store among other things. Advantages of this approach: you can have an Observer in a local module, no changes to the core, and if you observe controller_action_predispatch, extend Mage_Admin_Observer and call parent::actionPreDispatchAdmin() to handle login/authentication you can then get the current admin user and set a user specific theme…
This can also be done in the DB. First, the package/theme (the <stores> .... </stores> section) needs to be removed from all config.xml files. The following SQL will add the config values to use package/theme:
INSERT INTO `core_config_data` (`config_id`, `scope`, `scope_id`, `path`, `value`)VALUES (NULL, 'default', '0', 'stores/admin/design/package/name', 'package');INSERT INTO `core_config_data` (`config_id`, `scope`, `scope_id`, `path`, `value`)VALUES (NULL, 'default', '0', 'stores/admin/design/theme/default', 'theme');
So yeah, generally the XML config overrides the DB config, I think. I haven't verified that this works in all cases.
Using 1.4.x (i presume), It seems we have to declare override for each theme component like this :
<stores> <admin> <design> <package> <name>default</name> </package> <theme> <default>mytheme</default> <template>mytheme</template> <skin>mytheme</skin> <layout>mytheme</layout> <locale>mytheme</locale> </theme> </design> </admin> </stores>
See : app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Controller/Action.php +143 It works here now
Dear all,
In the Magento 184.108.40.206 Admin Panel I want to change the logos and footer text:
1) css and logo files originally located in /skin/adminhtml/default/default : - boxes.css - favicon.ico (the little icon in the URL bar) - images/login_logo.gif (the logo on its side at the left of the login screen) - images/logo.gif (the top left logo in admin panel after login in)
2) the text of the following files originally located in /app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template : - login.phtml - page/footer.phtml
I followed all instructions in above posts but even after *several* hours of searching and testing nothing changes, so I hope you can help me out?!
An overview of all the changes I did:
a) Copied and changed files in 1) to /skin/adminhtml/mycompany/default b) Copied and changed files in 2) to /app/design/adminhtml/mycompany/default/template c) Copied /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml to /app/code/local/mycompany/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml and changed/added as follows, while leaving all the rest unchanged:
<config> <modules> <mycompany_Adminhtml> <version>0.1.0</version> </mycompany_Adminhtml> </modules><stores> <admin> <design> <package> <name>mycompany</name> </package> <theme> <default>default</default> <template>default</template> <skin>default</skin> <layout>default</layout> <locale>default</locale> </theme> </design> </admin> </stores>
d) Created /app/etc/modules/mycompany_All.xml with
<config> <modules> <mycompany_Adminhtml> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> </mycompany_Adminhtml> </modules></config>
What am I doing wrong or forgetting? All help much appreciated!!
a) Copied and changed files in 1) to /skin/adminhtml/mycompany/default b) Copied and changed files in 2) to /app/design/adminhtml/mycompany/default/template c) Copied /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml to /app/code/local/mycompany/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml and
wrong directories first of all
should be
/skin/adminhtml/default/mycompany/ /app/design/adminhtml/default/mycompany/template
here is my admin theme
hope this helps
@webplus: thanks for fast reply, but my problem still not solved!
with my a) en b) directories I tried to create a new package in adminhtml and not only a theme. is creating a separate package not possible for adminhtml? (as it for front end!)
i also tried with your suggested directory structure while also changing /app/code/local/mycompany/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml as follows since as far as I understand this means only changing theme and not complete package
<stores> <admin> <!-- default admin design package and theme --> <design> <package> <name>default</name> <!-- instead of mycompany before --> </package> <theme> <default>mycompany</default> <!-- instead of default before --> </theme> </design> </admin> </stores>
Are you also using 184.108.40.206 ?
Thanks for all support!
I forgot to post that my problem is solved: Make sure your moduleââ¬â¢s first letter is capitlized; "mycompany" apparently did not work, it must start with a capital letter "Mycompany"!
I got both the package (in /app/design/adminhtml/mycompany/default) and theme (in /app/design/adminhtml/default/mycompany) approach working, I decided to go for the latter since with the seperate package approach I ended up in copying everything from /app/design/adminhtml/default/default, since there is no design fall-back hierarchy as in front-end. Although using 188.8.131.52. it seemed i didn't need the change mfoillard was suggesting to get it working.
Still curious though: - what could be the considerations to create a complete seperate adminhtml package? - is the seperate theme approach in default package as upgrade proof as using a separate package, or better?
Emislive's solution also works in your main local.xml file (not the design one, but the config one) : /app/etc/local.xml
Tested on Magento 184.108.40.206
<config> ... <stores> <admin> <!-- default admin design package and theme --> <design> <package> <name>default</name> <!-- instead of mycompany before --> </package> <theme> <default>theme</default> <!-- instead of default before --> </theme> </design> </admin> </stores></config>

Worked purrrfectly in 1.4.2. Thanks bro.
We have just launched an Admin Theme extension. The Cool Blue Admin Theme is compatible with Magento versions 18.104.22.168 and greater. Itââ¬â¢s very easy to install and does not overwrite any core files, so you can upgrade without the theme been affected. ââ¬Â¢ Compatible with versions 188.8.131.52+ , 1.6+, 1.7 ââ¬Â¢ Licence is per domain. If you have multiple sub domains we treat that as one domain so you only need one licence ââ¬Â¢ Full Admin theme ââ¬Â¢ Full admin features ââ¬Â¢ No core file overwritten ââ¬Â¢ Stable (tested for one year) ââ¬Â¢ Looks amazing ââ¬Â¢ Full installation and setup instructions included in the download ââ¬Â¢ Installation service available
I had to read this thread about 10 times to get this working so, for the sake of clarifying for others, I'm just posting the explanation of how to create your own module to add your custom adminhtml templates.
This method definitely works. I got it working in 22.214.171.124. It assumes that you will change MyCompany to something more suitable.
First, create a file called app/etc/modules/MyCompany_All.xml and put this code in it:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!--/** * My Custom Adminhtml Module */--><config> <modules> <MyCompany_Adminhtml> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> </MyCompany_Adminhtml> </modules></config>
Then create a file called app/code/local/MyCompany/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml and add this code:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!--/** * My Custom Adminhtml Config */--><config> <modules> <MyCompany_Adminhtml> <version>0.1.0</version> </MyCompany_Adminhtml> </modules> <stores> <admin> <design> <package> <name>default</name> </package> <theme> <default>MyCompany</default> </theme> </design> </admin> </stores></config>
Third, modify / edit / create the template files you want and put them in the correct directory (corresponding to the Mage default location) under app/design/adminhtml/default/MyCompany/template/…
where you fill in "..." with the necessary directory structure to get the files in the right location.

Never step off a moving boat?

Rep Power:
The logic behind waiting for the boat to stop relative to the jetty is there is a lot less chance of getting caught between the jetty and the moving boat.
Crush injuries between jetties and boats are too common.
The advise also stops novices thinking it is alright to jump between the boat and jetty. Crew often don't appreciate the movements of a boat and one of the scary things as a skipper is closing on a jetty, positioning the hull so a line can easily be slipped over a bollard when a crew member jumps believing their being on the jetty is going to make the securing of the drifting boat easier.
My docking technique does not plan to have anyone leave the safety of the boat until a line is secured and the boat secured and stable near the jetty.
Larger boats might be more stable but the risk is still there. Best seamanship is to develop docking techniques that do not rely on people on the jetty or moving from the boat to the jetty until the boat is secure.
Most times I back in to the jetty at 45 degrees tying a line from the rear to the jetty then motor forward against the line to push the bow into the jetty. Alternatively I run a line from the cockpit to midships then lead to the stern(outside), back the boat in at 45 degrees, secure the line on a bollard then use the line to haul the boat in sideways.
Both methods allow me to watch the clearances from the helm and I can power forward clear of the jetty if anything goes wrong. Its a simple procedure that works single handed and works from the safety of the cockpit.
