Hello, Please help me to understand this.
I bought a wordpress theme, installed it on a domain name and now I want to install the same theme on a different domain name on a different hosting platform. I understood that I have to purchase a second licence certificate, right?
If yes, then will the second licence certificate show under the download of the theme? I meant will it show 2 certificate downloads? or 1 file showing 2 licence numbers inside?
please advice
thank you
Hey, yes you have to purchase a second license. I'm pretty sure about if you purchased it twice and using the theme for two different websites, you don't need to worry about the license numbers. Cheers, Erik
Hello Thank you for your reply.
For those who wants to know, I have placed the second order for the same theme, got an email with download instructions and the same theme is showing twice under the downloads tab with 2 different licence text files, so all is perfect and very clear.

Herbert, Jr. A Message from the Editor We proudly present our Valentine's Day issue! Once again your colleagues in the practice of family law bring you useful news, how-to and be-very-afraid articles, case notes and sports updates. In December we lost Beverly Groner, Esquire, one of the towering figures in Maryland family law. I did not know Ms. Groner personally, but the remembrance penned by Judge Ann Sundt and Cheryl Hepfer makes me wish I had. You ever take a case in a distant jurisdiction and as conferences, hearings and trial, not to mention that rare Emergency Hearing, approach you suddenly realize that the Upper Marlboro rules, for example, don't apply in the Baltimore courthouse? We feel your pain. We present a new series, The Skinny on Practice In:, with this issue. In the coming months we hope to write down the unwritten rules for each courthouse in the state. This being the month of love, we felt that a few public expressions of same were in order (yes, I know, that was a lawyerly turn of phrase, but I'm only on Step 3). We are grateful to the spouses and loved ones who took up the challenge to articulate that special quality which makes their loved ones special. See our section a Special Valentine's Day Message for their handiwork. Our December issue generated a number of e-mails. For example, in our Birthdays section, it was stated: "W. Mozart and E. Van Halen, perhaps the first time that those names have been linked in the same sentence". Who knew that it was not the first time that these names have been linked…Eddie Van Halen named his son Wolfgang! Well, Greg Hilton of Annapolis knew, that's who…thanks for the e-mail, Greg, I really didn't know… David Goldberg of Germantown and I had an interesting and enjoyable thread on the Louis Nizer's Legal Quotation of the Month. I'm trying to get David to write an article for the May issue on the topic, so if you see him, gently urge him to do so, but don't let on that it was my idea… Many thanks to all who wrote and complimented us on the issue, especially Chris Nicholson.

Reinstein, Esquire The Skinny on Practice In: Although our rule-makers insist that local rules have been abolished in Maryland, actual practitioners know better. Every courthouse in the state has a secret handshake, a hidden key.

Particularly so, when I realized that Walter intended to have my thoughts published in a Valentines Day edition of this newsletter. Finding no acceptable excuses, I quickly realized that virtually all who read this know Leslie as an accomplished and polished legal professional who is relentless about organizing and preparing her cases for trial. Although I knew that most of us would agree that Leslie has proven herself to be a great attorney, I also realized that being a top notch attorney is but a small part of what Leslie's life is about. I wondered how many of you know about Leslie's other endearing qualities, talents, and passions. So, I thought I would tell you. On many weekdays Leslie is out of the house shortly after 6:00 a.m. for tennis lessons — to prepare for her evening and weekend competitive tennis matches. Her interest in tennis is not limited to just playing. She is an avid spectator, attending as many professional matches as possible, using certain family connections to get passes so that she can rub shoulders with her professional idols in the players tent. She is passionate about pets, and that is an understatement. We have always had a houseful of animals living with us. Currently part of our household are two thirteen year-old Himalayan cats (Tulip and Violet) and two Bichon Frise dogs (Webster and Lily) who have accompanied Leslie to the office every working day of their six years with us. In her spare time Leslie has written a yet unpublished novel, which she has never let me read and she doesn't like to talk about. What she does like to talk about is her photography. Just ask her about her equipment or her tennis photography if you want to spend an hour or so just listening. She is now studying through the New York Institute of Photography and is truly an accomplished photographer. If you are in Annapolis, you can see some of Leslie's work displayed at Chesapeake Photo Gallery on State Circle at Maryland Avenue. If not, just go to www.billmanphotography.com for a taste of her work. In the more than fifteen years that Leslie and I have been married, her eclectic interests and energy have enriched my life. Ask her about some of these things. It is really much more interesting than talking about family law. Harry Trainor, Esquire, is the devoted husband of Leslie Billman; Mr. Trainor practices criminal law in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Sports Update: Our Gunston Venom coverage continues: the Venom, a division 2 NCSL U-11 Boys soccer team , have com- pleted Session 1 of their indoor soccer season and stand in 3rd place (Daniel Herbert has one goal…so far). In the process 2 players have left the team, including the keeper. Travel soccer has been an eye opener; it seems that I spend more time in team-related volunteer activities than I do practicing law. Of course, the fact that it's a lot more fun to work for the soccer team than coordinate pick-up and drop-off times on Christmas Eve is beside the point. My current task is trolling for a new keeper, for which I have created a blurb: "Gunston Venom are looking to add smart, versatile players, goalkeeping and field, to our side. The Venom are a U-11 Boys Team America Premier squad and we compete in Division 2 of NCSL. We are trained/coached by Jawed Sanie, a loud, enthusiastic proponent of TAP possession soccer: give and go passing, overlapping runs and moving without the ball to create space are the hallmarks of a Team America Premier side. We play pre-and post-season tournaments, indoor soccer and attend summer camp. If you were born after July 31, 1992, and wish to play exciting soccer at the highest level please contact our Team Manager, Carla de la Pava at 202.390.2373." Dear me, I seem to have accidentally advertised for a keeper in FAMILY LAW NEWS…ooops!

So Paul, blame this on Walter – it was all his idea! I remember feeling somewhat anxious the first day of law school, having seen the movie "Paper Chase" and wondering if a similar situation awaited me. During orientation all of the first-year law students were sitting in a large auditorium, feeling somewhat daunted, when the instructor asked if anyone had any questions. Most of the students surrounding me looked around nervously, not daring to raise our hands, not yet willing to draw attention to ourselves. Suddenly a man's voice spoke out, and while I can't remember what he said, I do remember being impressed that this student had the nerve to speak out – we all craned our necks to see who was this courageous person – and that was my first glimpse of Paul Reinstein! Paul is a man of courage and strong convictions – he has always been an advocate for equal justice under the law. While most of you know him as an accomplished and diligent family law practitioner, he began his career doing criminal defense work. Right after we graduated from law school I remember that he represented a defendant who had committed a truly violent crime. When a friend asked him how he could stomach represent- ing someone "like that," he responded that he had taken an oath the day he became an attorney to ensure that everyone has equal access to the justice system. That commitment to justice is something that has never wavered in over twenty-three years of practice. Probably the best testament to his skill as a lawyer is the fact that attorneys and litigants on the opposite side often later refer their friends and family members to him! As law students we didn't have much money for fine wine and food (just Kentucky fried chicken and cheap beer), but as time has passed Paul has developed into a wine connoisseur and a lover of fine meals. We have friends who tease us about how passionate we can get about good food. One of Paul's favorite pastimes (besides watching sports or playing golf) is trying out new restaurants. Paul usually appears very calm and even tempered, but you might not feel that after sitting with him through a Notre Dame football game or a Philadelphia sports team match. The whole house reverberates with his colorful commentary, and you can just feel the energy emanating from him! He sometimes bemoans the fact that he lives with "temperamental" women. While his daughters would be the first to admit that they might at times be difficult (testing his patience over and over and over and over. . .), they also would tell you how lucky they feel to have Paul as their father. They know that they can always count on him for anything, ranging from help with their math homework to advice on how to deal with a boyfriend (even though he doesn't always want to hear about his daughters' love lives!!!!!). It frustrates him when the women in his life don't necessarily follow his advice, but such behavior certainly has helped Paul learn the meaning of patience. He is also very creative. Even though he could never make it as a singer, his daughters were serenaded to sleep by Beach Boys tunes, especially "Barbara Anne." His bedtime stories were comprised of the further adventures of Nick Danger and Rocky Roccoco, which he developed from the original tales of the Firesign Theater. I keep telling him he should write a "Nick Danger/Rocky Roccoco" children's book or a novel based on some of the cases he has handled. I think either would rival any of the best sellers we read today, and then we could retire and live on a beach and spend all our days reading and watching movies (which would make him very happy). Paul loves a good mystery novel and is also a huge fan of the Patrick O'Brian series of historical novels – the Aubrey-Maturin epics. It has been almost twenty-seven years since that first day of law school, and Paul remains my best friend! The Honorable Marielsa Bernard is an Associate Judge on the Montgomery County Circuit Court and the very loving and perceptive wife of our Chair, Paul Reinstein. 6 Section of Family & Juvenile Law Winter 2004 Montgomery County: Practice and Procedure . . .

(continued on page 15) Winter 2004 Section of Family & Juvenile Law 13 Valentines A Special Valentines Day Message: Keith Schiszik Keith rolls out of bed every morning in great spirits, starting the day with the sense of humor you would expect from a fellow who looks for any opportunity to wear one of his twelve pairs of bright red socks, or his Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Halloween or Christmas socks (including the pair that plays music). This is a man who takes pride in his ability to make others laugh, most of all at himself. Just after we were married, we made a pact that whoever got hungry first would make dinner. Unbe- knownst to Keith, I can go a very long time without eating. So he became an excellent cook, though not without some missteps along the way. Ultimately, his culinary adventures led to the development of his own personal mantra, "Shiny side out, second rack from the top". This would be the reminders for the use of tin foil, and where to put the casserole in the oven. His slight color blindness required the addition of a third phrase to the mantra: "two brown shoes." Perhaps this explains his preference for red socks. While light-hearted about many aspects of life, Keith takes his work very seriously. His philosophy is straight-forward. Negotiate; mediate; try to avoid going to court, because then things get said that cannot be unsaid and everyone loses. Children come first; the best interests of the child are para- mount. Lawyers, mental health professionals and social workers make a great team in working with troubled families. At home this results in the ever present brief case opened on his desk. In the last decade or so, he has developed a substantial number of very short clients. That would be the kids for whom he serves as guardian ad litem, a role for which he is uniquely gifted. He keeps a number of – well, let's just say unusual – hats in his office especially for meeting with kids. He developed his ability to communicate with children through experimenting with our own daughter. For example, she was incredibly secret about her life at school when she was young, so he pretended to be a plant (garden variety) in the front seat as he drove her there, and encouraged her to talk to the plant. It helps that he looks great in Groucho Marx glasses that he always keeps handy. Keith spends a fair amount of time throughout the year traveling to teach family law to lawyers, judges, social workers or just about anyone who will listen. In this endeavor his family has made a significant contribution. It is our responsibility to listen to his jokes, and eliminate the worst of the lot. I am sure there is a reality television show in here somewhere, as we have voted a lot of jokes off the show. So if you have groaned at Keith's jokes in class you can just thank his family for having killed the ones that were even worse. Keith has had a significant loss this year but is holding up well. After fourteen years of a lingering disintegration under a tarp in our driveway, Keith had his beloved blue Karmann Ghia convertible towed off to that Big Highway in the Sky. Keith, like many people, had a hard time accepting the inevitable. The rest of the family was fairly sure the life of this car was over when the bumper fell to the ground and the back wheels seized up. It took Keith another five years before he was ready to let go. Our family has marked the spot in the driveway where the car sat for all these years with a memorial of prayer candles and plush toys. So no matter what car you may see Keith driving, be assured in his mind he is behind the wheels of the Blue Menace. Pat Heinaman is the Special Projects Coordinator for the National Housing Trust in Washington, D.C. and, not coincidentally, the loving wife of Keith Schiszik. 14 Section of Family & Juvenile Law Winter 2004 Case Notes . . .

I was having none of it for a couple of reasons. They as well as us had been doing that the whole match....He was about 6'9 and was heavy and we had lobbed them to death. So he was tired and that's why he tried what he did. I didn't honor it and we took the point. I understand rules but there has to be some sense of common sense in there. "You can't get two chances at the point" and that was exactly the language I used in the other thread. People want to at times massage the rules and use them when it's convenient. Maybe you didn't do that but I've seen quite a few people who do. A guy tried to call a foot fault at the end of a second set after I'd been serving and volleying for two sets and killing them with a 30 mph serve but was stinging vollies...I said okay...and took a step back did the same thing on the second serve. When I went to the other side and called it on him...he tried to raise hell. lol He wasn't even serving and volleying. So it backfired on him. He had both feet in the court but had the nerve to call it on me. lol This was doubles by the way. lol
Sorry but you should have given the point to your opponent, he may have hesitated to back up for your lob when you told your partner to get back assuming that it was indeed a short lob because of your comment.
It doesnt matter how many times either team had done it, that never prevents you or them from calling it later on.
BTW you can't call someone on a foot fault out of the blue, you have to warn them first.

Take a stroll along the Fox River through downtown Waukesha, and before too long, you're likely to come across a tree that has suffered recent beaver damage.
The city has been experiencing a period of elevated beaver activity along the river, something's that happened a few times over the past several years, said Pete Traczek of Waukesha's Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry.
Most of the gnawing activity has taken place in the Fox River Sanctuary area, but recently the beavers have moved upriver a bit and become more aggressive in their chewing behaviors.
In the sanctuary area, city workers typically just let nature take its course.
However, when the city becomes aware of damage to trees in other areas, especially to larger trees along the Riverwalk through downtown, workers start to keep a close eye on the trees being targeted.
If beavers keep after a particular tree, city workers will wrap the bottom few feet of the trunk in wire mesh to protect the tree and prevent more damage.
If a tree is so damaged that it could potentially fall down and cause damage or injury, it is usually removed.
Traczek has met with DNR wildlife officials to discuss other beaver-control options, including the possibility of trapping the animals, but the city currently has no plans to start trapping, Traczek said.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
In fact, don't even look at it, it is not painkiller, it's pain in the ASS killer.
Jokes aside, lol, this game is not like the first painkiller, the maps are horribly done, though I will say some parts are a tad imaginative...they just don't "work" quite as intended and end up just pissing you off. Guns are the same, awesome guns from painkiller. monsters are a mix of new retarded monsters....and some of the old ones....then there are these spirit things flying around in very closed in areas where you can't necessarily dodge them not to mention the maps are so horrible you get stuck in various places all over the map. Most of the mobs don't even give you trouble and end up getting stuck on something so you can just sit there and kill an entire room without them even having a chance.
Besides that, it's a prequel to the first game, sort of. It doesn't really make sense, with painkiller I really don't care because it isn't a strong point but the entire game doesn't have one strong point besides having one or two good levels *maybe* throughout the first chapter I played.
Oh, there was also a lot of optimization problems, if there were more than 8 spawns of a monster in this version of the game my fps went down to about 4 every couple seconds....never happened on the first one I'm assuming it's the new textures/maps/monsters put in or something.

Essential for winter-time showing

the real solution is that everyone should head to florida or california to show in the winter, but in lieu of that, hand warmers certainly come in handy.
Pros: warmer than nothing

Richard Busby
|Richard Busby
|22 September 1606
Lutton, Lincolnshire
|6 April 1695[1]
|Christ Church, Oxford
|Church of England
|Head Master of Westminster School
The Rev. Dr. Richard Busby (/ˈbʌzbi/; 1606–1695) was an English Anglican priest who served as head master of Westminster School for more than fifty-five years.
He was born at Lutton in Lincolnshire, and educated at Westminster, where he first showed his academic promise by gaining a King's Scholarship. From Westminster, Busby duly proceeded to Christ Church, Oxford, graduating in 1628. In his thirty-third year he had already become renowned for the obstinate zeal with which he supported the falling dynasty of the Stuarts, and was rewarded for his services with the prebend and rectory of Cudworth, with the chapel of Knowle annexed, in Somerset.
Next year (1638) he became headmaster of Westminster, where his reputation as a teacher was soon established. Dr Busby prayed publicly for King Charles I on the very morning of his execution nearby, but remained in office throughout the political changes of the Commonwealth and the Restoration. He once boasted of birching sixteen of the bishops on the bench. Among the more illustrious of his pupils were Christopher Wren, Robert Hooke, Robert South, John Dryden, John Locke, Matthew Prior, Thomas Millington and Francis Atterbury.
As a headmaster, Busby was as famous for administering corporal punishment as he was for his ability. In the next century, Alexander Pope satirized Dr Busby in the 1743 edition of The Dunciad. The ghost of Busby comes forward, "Dripping with Infants' blood, and Mothers' tears" (The Greater Dunciad IV 142) and proclaims the virtues of rote memorization for placing a "jingling padlock" on the mind.
Busby built and stocked a library that is still the classroom of the School's Head of Classics, and he wrote and edited many works for the use of his scholars. His original treatises (the best of which are his Greek and Latin grammars), as well as those he edited, remained in use for centuries.
Busby died, still in office, aged 89, when it was said that sparks and fireballs were seen coming from the window of his sickroom; men rushed in to fight the fire, but they found only that the great man had expired. He is buried in Westminster Abbey, where his effigy is still to be seen. He left his considerable fortune to various charitable causes, and the Busby Trustees still administer his wishes. There is a house named after him at Westminster School.
