Comment posted RSPB Scotland 'disappointed' by Scottish Government consent to Shetland Viking wind farm by Tim McIntyre.
Bill – the Shetland Charitable Trust's website claims that their aims are to " provide public benefit to and improve the quality of life for the people of Shetland, especially in the areas of:"
– Social care and welfare
– Arts, culture, sport and recreation
– The environment, natural history and heritage
Viking energy say that the trust is projected to receive 23m per year. You can always take the view that the 'jury is out' on any issue; does that mean we should never do anything at all until we can be 'certain'?
As far as the election result goes, I would agree that Billy Fox's result was impressive, and that his opposition to the wind farm may have been a factor, but he wasn't just a one-dimensional candidate. His website clearly mentions opposition to the wind farm but says it "…is only one issue of many facing us."
Tavish Scott's party, meanwhile, had its worst-ever election result in Scotland (I think I'm right in saying that he was one of only two constituency LibDems elected that night) so the national swing against them is bound to have played a role in Shetland. Interestingly the other LibDem MSP (in Orkney) suffered a similar swing away and was also run a close second by an independent.
Tim McIntyre also commented
- Malcolm – I already looked at your local windfarm animation some weeks back, and meant to say that as a technical exercise in computer animation I found it very impressive. Quite liked the look of the wind farm as well
I didn't find the second half of the film offensive as such – it gave me a good laugh
- Bill – with respect, I don't think you read my post correctly. I described Mr Fox clearly as NOT one-dimensional (by which I meant exactly 'single issue') – how do you construe that as 'highly insulting'?
I do not know Mr Fox, but he comes across on his website www.billyfox.co.uk as an intelligent, principled and well-respected individual as you say. The quote I gave was not unattributed and appears on the home page of that site.
As I'm sure you will agree, the advantage of posting under your real name is that it imposes a certain discipline NOT to indulge in cheap personal insults, something which I try to avoid and which I agree does the debate no favours.
The point I made was that the Shetland election result was very similar to that in Orkney, and that therefore correlating it to the wind farm issue in the former is not as obvious as you were suggesting. Also, although Mr Fox came second to the winner, his share of the vote was 30%, pretty close to the 'anti' share in the wind farm opinion poll quoted somewhere above.
- Malcolm – aside from the missing hills & curvature, which is fair enough if the terrain maps are expensive, why have you chosen to show the turbines at ten times their actual size relative to the landscape? Is it because otherwise they're almost invisible ?
- Malcolm – no need to apologise, you were right the first time – the Whitelee extension hasn't been commissioned yet. When it is, I'm sure your second figure will be correct, though I admit I haven't checked.
You are right I think that if gas prices collapse over the next few years, then wind power is going to look relatively expensive. On the other hand, if gas prices increase much further, wind power will soon look cheap by comparison. One thing is sure – as old coal stations retire and more gas turbines are built, we will rely increasingly on imported gas whatever the price. This isn't good for either energy security or trade balance in my view.
- Bill – surely the fact that the project will export power to the mainland grid is the means by which it will earn the islands an income?
I don't know if the existing diesel generator will need to be retained for backup – presumably depends on how the new HVDC link is integrated into the island power network, and whether it can provide the islands with grid backup when the wind output is too low.
Recent comments by Tim McIntyre
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
Newsroom – re: the "wholly constitutionally disadvantaged position of England", Derek Bateman has a good piece on that subject;-
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
Integrity – I'm sure you are right that the convention is informal, and obviously the parties can talk to each other as they wish – as the Lib Dems did with Labour last time. However, I assume that in practice, David Cameron would try every option to form a government and would not resign until these had been exhausted (as Gordon Brown did last time, despite coming a distant second). Only then would the SNP's offer to Labour come into play.
John M – the SNP cannot 'vote down' a Tory government which has managed to assemble majority support – the key phrase in your quote being "if there is an anti-Tory majority"
Newsroom, I think you are right that stability could be a problem, especially as the Tory press in the south will do everything possible to de-stabilise a SNP-supported minority Labour government. If they can portray it as illegitimate that Labour gets to govern while the Tories got a majority in England, they will do so, loudly and insistently, and regardless of the damage to the Union.
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
John, the reason why I said you were winding me up is that you surely aren't suggesting that Labour would be unable to get a Queen's Speech through parliament solely because of the actions of its own rebel MPs?
Can you imagine the headlines: "Salmond pleads with Labour rebels to let Ed Miliband into No. 10″
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
Hi Integrity – I believe the convention in a hung parliament is that the sitting government gets the first opportunity to try & negotiate a deal and get it through a Queen's Speech vote. So the Tories will get first go at creating a coalition anyway, even if they don't have the most seats, and if they succeed, that will be that.
All the SNP have said is that they would not be part of a Tory-led government, formally or informally, but would be willing to support a Labour Queen's Speech and then a Labour government on a vote-by-vote basis. That position, which has been unequivocally stated throughout, seems fair enough to me – I don't think they have said they would try to block the Tories from trying to form a government first, and anyway it's not clear how they would do so.
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
OK John, so I've finally, and perhaps belatedly, realised that you are winding me up

What's the benefit of using leather grip ?
Just like the title says. I am using stock base grip right now.
Leather grips have a different feel to them that is liked by some, but not by others. It adds weight to the handle. I wouldn't say there is any "real benefits" to a leather grip other than the different feel and weight to the handle. If you've never used one, you should try it and see if you like it.
I like leather grips because they're firm and give me a lot of feedback. They tend to get slippery so I add an absorbent overgrip and I run through reels of Tournagrip like theres no tomorrow.
The problem with leather grips is you have to take care of them and allow them a breaking in period. They tend to shrink over time, but also get better feeling over time and last for the entire life of the racket unlike other overgrips that fall apart.
It will take practice to regrip a racket with a leather grip because you will probably not get it right the first time. The spacing is critical.
Try it, you'll like it.
I use Babolat leather grips with Babolat Pro Team overgrips; an unexpected benefit I noticed is that leather grips added power to every shot. I can't explain why but it's there. There is also the firm or tight feel leather provides that is better than what other grips offer.
However leather w/out the use of an overgrip will become very slippery and frankly not very comfortable, in my opinion. So the prime combination is leather w/your overgrip of choice.
I think they get me a more "vivid" - opposed to mute - feel and, of course, there they are: the bevels. Can't play without leather + og, but I recognise they're not much comfortable like a synthetic replacement.
+1 for the bevels.
All personal preference, just like every other aspect of your frame
Heavier than most synthetics
feel bevels more
doesn't break down like a synthetic grip, usually plays a little better when it's broken in (IMO)
Anyway, to avoid blister you still can add overgrip and still have the benefit of the leather.

Don't Sweat Baby Gender-Benders
Don't Sweat Baby Gender-Benders
Viv Schaffel
Shared by Maggie
One of the greatest things about little kids is their innocence. They are devoid of any preconceived notions or clichés that can clog the minds of us grownups. They don't understand how or why pink identifies something female and blue identifies something male -- they just know what colors they like. They don't understand the idea that girls should play with dolls and boys should play with cars. They don't know gender and don't care. And neither should we. Here's what I've learned from my very own free-spirited babes:
Anyone Can Enjoy a Boy Toy.
Gender bending is a normal part of a toddler's development. Judging by my child's preschool, plenty of little boys like pink and little girls like "boy" toys. The funniest of these discoveries was walking into the bathroom to find my son with red lipstick all over his face. You know what they say… monkey see, monkey do!
Superheroes Come in All Packages.
When my daughter was three and wanted to dress up as Superman for Halloween, it was more about the cape and the super "S" -- not about the "man." She wanted to be a superhero, Superman was her favorite, and I thought that was completely awesome. That said, if my son was into tutus, it may be more about the boogie than the actual outfit. Get it?
What Other Kids Will Think.
Some of my friends are perfectly comfortable with their children's self-expression, but worry that other kids will tease their child. I try not to worry too much. If my son insisted on wearing a dress to school, I might sit him down and gently warn him that other kids might be confused and might even say some hurtful things. I see it as more of a reason to support my kid's choices. If a child knows their parents love them no matter what, a few judgmental words from other kids won't be the end of the world.

5 Tips For Getting The New Pantone Color of The Year In Your Hair view
From choosing the right hair to keeping a healthy scalp.

The best way to prep your own hair under a wig is to wash and condition it then apply a hot oil treatment. "A hot-oil treatment is great for moisturizing the hair and the scalp," says Davidson. After your treatment, Davidson advises cornrowing the hair. "Braid the hair straight back. Then, take the ends, fold them up between the parts and sew everything flat. That is the best way to create a seamless foundation so your hair won't look too bulgy under the wig."

this was an excellent studio to rent, however the bathroom was on the second floor, not so convenient. Location was great, staff very friendly and helpful, and picked us up at the New Port.

We never expected such a small room. We were 3 people in a triple room but we were bumping into each other. We were living in what seemed like an attic and the room smelt of humidity. The tiny bathroom was a disaster with no shower curtain and you would splash everything around you with water when showering. Not so good value for 50eur per person per night and no breakfast served. Everything was very basic in the room. Paying by cash and not by card was also a drawback for us. On the other hand, the place is bang in the heart of the chora and Maria and her mother are very nice people. Maria also picked us up at the port upon our arrival. The room also came with a nice balcony although it was a dirty.

Recipe for raita (Indian yogurt and cucumber condiment) {vegetarian, gluten-free}
As many as there are cooks, that's the number of variations of the basic recipe for raita, the famous Indian yogurt and cucumber condiment that accompanies every meal. What they all have in common are yogurt and cucumber, two ingredients that cool the fires of the most incendiary vindaloo. Where you go from there is up to you. Mint makes frequent appearances in raita; if you have some in your garden, go ahead and add a teaspoon or so. Some cooks add caramelized onions or eggplant. This version of raita pairs perfectly with slow cooker Indian-spiced lentils. Remember that raita is a fire extinguisher, and keep the ingredients calm and soothing.

Celtics drop Orlando Summer League finale to Pacers
|07.11.14 at 12:14 pm ET
Despite the efforts of Celtics summer league standouts Kelly Olynyk and Marcus Smart, the Pacers rode an 11-0 run down the stretch to capture the fourth-place game in Orlando, 95-86.
Olynyk and Smart led the C's scoring effort with 20 and 19 points, respectively, despite shooting a combined 13-of-37 from the field. Entering the game making just 28.0 percent of his field goal attempts (19.2 3P%), Smart finished 6-of-18 in the loss, but converted 4-of-9 3-pointers in an encouraging effort.
Phil Pressey (12 points, 13 assists), Mike Moser (16 points, 10 rebounds) and O.D. Anosike (13 points, 10 rebounds) added double-doubles in defeat. Chris Johnson and Chris Babb finished a combined 1-for-11.
Donald Sloan led Indiana with 20 points and 10 assists, helping the Pacers transform an 82-81 edge into a commanding 93-81 lead.
The Celtics finished 3-2 in the Orlando Summer League.

Flying Turtle PhotographyRead MoreFlying Turtle Photography captures indelible images of kids and families during intimate snapfests. Photographer Melissa Gilbert brings a nuanced touch to maternity and newborn sessions, snatching honest expressions from tykes and proud parents. Flying Turtle's 2,000-square-foot boutique studio illuminates compositions with both industry and natural light as Melissa puts her subjects at ease in front of a multitude of backgrounds. Alternatively, scenic outdoor spots set a natural backdrop for wedding photos, baby portraits, and Arbor Day publicity fliers, all of which can be printed by the studio.23 West 41st StreetSand Springs, OK US
Photographic Designs by Rachel WilliamsRead MoreRachel Williams majored in Psychology, but her current clients don't sit on couches. They sit on benches—outdoors, amid fall foliage—or they perch on stone stoops, or frolic through open fields. That's because Rachel transferred her superb people skills from the study of psychology to the study of photography, putting in years of training at several studios in Texas and Oklahoma. Along the way, she learned what doesn't work, namely uniform poses, poor understandings of natural lighting, and trendy color tones that may not stand the test of time and its this understanding that garnered her the Master of Photography title from the Professional Photographers of America. That's why Rachel and her team devote themselves to quality on every front, from their portraits' careful composition to their use of professional lighting and their meticulous retouching of every portrait. This commitment manifests itself in all of Rachel's portraits, as her lens follows families, and newborns through childhood and on to high-school graduation.500 Riverwalk TerJenks, OK US

CG Art StudiosRead MoreGrowing up, Che Graves always had a pencil in his hand. He's always been eager to express himself through art, and once he was old enough to trade his pencil for a camera, there was no turning back. Working as a photo-lab manager taught Che how to understand light and use it to his advantage, and though he shifted from film to digital photography, he still credits his stint in the lab with teaching him to paint with light. Today, he uses his creative drive and his technical know-how to shoot portraits that "are designed to bring out a personality that may be hidden by life," he says. Weddings, family portraits, and boudoir shoots compose a large portion of his portfolio, which also includes landscape and architectural photography. Silly or sensuous, warm or mysterious, every image Che crafts is intended to reveal the individual subject's beauty.PO Box 484Mounds, OK US

Adoralee boudoir studioRead MoreLacy Hammack made her first forays into boudoir photography while living with her Marine Corps husband in the midst of the Mojave Desert. While she was first armed only with the skills of a yearbook photographer, she taught herself the ins and outs of professional studio lighting and photo editing, moving away from what she calls her "Photoshopographer" days to perfect a lighter touch that softly airbrushes imperfections while highlighting natural beauty. Lacy's extensive experimentation with lighting and posing has blossomed into a well-honed pin-up style that she and her all-female staff practice at AdoraLee Boudior Studio's two locations. After passing through AdoraLee's storefront lingerie store (at the Norman location only), clients are treated to extensive coaching on how to get the most from their boudoir shoot. Pre-session pointers help women choose their ensembles; during the session, music and chatter sets the air at ease while photogs guide their subjects into every pose, snapping alluring eye-level shots in the makeup room or sensual high angle shots over the studio's fluffy bed. Four additional set options?including red damask or black velvet backdrops?inspire photographers as they expertly blend studio lighting with a wide variety of poses to flatter any body type. Through high-contrast color shots and classic black-and-white prints, AdoraLee photographers strive to make every woman?whether curvy, pregnant, postpartum, or mid-werewolf transformation?into a sensual siren.4825 S Peoria Ave.Tulsa, OK US

A drink with the man who runs Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square
Over sauvignon blanc and a rum (served 'neat'), general manager Taylor Raths talks to Eric Veillette about one of Toronto's most visible, most-used public spaces.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 5 photoszoom
Taylor Raths, this week's guest, has presided as General Manager of Yonge-Dundas Square for over eight years. As celebrations loom for the Square's tenth anniversary, Rafts shares his preferences for white wine, the challenges of urban rejuvenation, and his love of cult film.
The drinks: A glass of Santa Rita sauvignon blanc for Taylor; Appleton Estate Reserve Rum, served neat, for Eric.
Where: Joey, at Eaton Centre, steps from Yonge-Dundas Square, at 1 Dundas St. W.
Before you started this job, what was your history with Yonge St.?
When I moved here from Winnipeg, sometime around 1985, I remember getting off the bus at the depot, being really wide-eyed, asking my friends who picked me up whether or not it was safe. I didn't understand what life in the big city was going to be like.
At that time, Yonge St. was still a destination.
It was. My first job, working as a waiter, was in a little restaurant right off Yonge. But by the mid-nineties, it had become something that you crossed over to get from east to west. The city had divided into these two sides. By the end of the decade, I think the timing was right to rejuvenate Yonge St. and plan for YDS.
What kind of guidance do you get from other cities with similar public spaces?
I haven't found a model that is identical to ours. People like to call us Toronto's version of Times Square, but that's more because of the billboards and the advertising. I think a more apt comparison would be Bryant Park in New York or Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia.
Do you all attend an annual symposium on running public squares?
There's no forum for practitioners who manage public squares to get together and share notes. But it's on people's radar that you can create a public space and . . . use it as a tool in creating a sense of place.
What's been your biggest challenge in creating this sense of place?
It wouldn't shock anyone for me to say that when YDS first opened, it was contentious. NOW Magazine, our print partner, at the time referred to it as the biggest frying pan in the city. There was a lot of work to do.
To be fair, the square was built, but there wasn't really a strategy for extending our hand to the wider community: Saying what we are, how it was going to benefit everybody. That lack of clarity invited much criticism. In the last ten years, everything turned around. All the different groups that use the space have really made their own.
The anniversary is next Friday (August 9th). What other events are you excited about?
We're showing two Joan Crawford films on August 13. Straight Jacket, which she stars in, and Mommie Dearest, a biopic where Faye Dunaway plays Joan.
Straight Jacket is an interesting choice — it played at the Downtown Theatre, a cinema that used to exist on YDS land.
I'm really glad we get to play the cult films...
... and Dunaway's performance as Joan is amazing.
Mommie Dearest reminds me of an old SNL skit where they used to do those fake TV commercials. "It's a floor polish and a desert topping . . . " I feel that way about Mommie Dearest. It's camp, but it's also a horror film at the same time.

CNN: Gupta approached about surgeon general post
WASHINGTON President-elect Barack Obama's reported choice for surgeon general, CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, could bring a dose of star power to a job that hasn't had that much clout in decades.
Gupta doesn't just play a doctor on TV, he's a neurosurgeon who still scrubs in part-time in one of the nation's toughest hospitals when he's not on CNN assignments that have taken him from Hurricane Katrina to Iraq. He also has co-hosted a health "network" that beams feel-good advice on TVs in clinic waiting rooms around the country – one that has drawn some criticism for drug-company promotion.
The surgeon general doesn't set health policy – but the office can be an effective bully pulpit, and a major report aimed at Congress just last month called for "a more prominent and powerful role for the surgeon general who ... should be a strong advocate for the American people."
Past surgeons general pushed the nation to fight tobacco and AIDS. Having such a well-known TV personality could give the post a reach not seen since the renowned C. Everett Koop, who served under President Ronald Reagan and helped make AIDS a public health issue rather than a moral one – in an era before the 24/7 news cycle.
With the celebrity behind Gupta's medical credentials, "it's like a name-brand immediately," said Dr. Michael Johns, chancellor at Emory University in Atlanta, where Gupta, 39, is an assistant professor of neurosurgery.
"If chosen, Dr. Gupta's communication skills and medical knowledge could be a boon to the new administration's health system reform efforts," noted Dr. Joseph Heyman, chairman of the American Medical Association's board.
And in contrast to the grandfatherly Koop, People magazine named the then-single Gupta one of the sexiest men of 2003.
However, a surgeon general would "need to demonstrate skills that are too often missing in medical news on TV: skepticism about the science and a careful analysis of both the benefits and harms of medical care," said Drs. Lisa Schwartz and Steven Woloshin of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.
The pair raised questions about drug-company sponsorship of some programs Gupta hosted in a broader critique of medical media coverage last fall, and on Tuesday they urged careful examination of any potential conflicts of interest.
CNN said Obama had approached Gupta about the job but said he would not comment on the discussions.
"Since first learning that Dr. Gupta was under consideration for the surgeon general position, CNN has made sure that his on-air reporting has been on health and wellness matters and not on health care policy or any matters involving the new administration," the cable network said Tuesday.
Two Democrats with knowledge of the discussions over the surgeon general spot said Gupta was under consideration but cautioned a choice has not been made. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media on the matter.
Obama's transition office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Longer stints in industry likely for ITE, poly students
They could spend up to a year as interns or apprentices to deepen work skills: Indranee
Published on Apr 13, 2014 8:48 AM
Industry attachments for students in polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) may soon be extended to give young people more time to deepen their work skills.
This means having students spend up to a year, instead of just months, as an intern or apprentice in a company for training, and pick up tricks of the trade that cannot be taught in school, according to Ms Indranee Rajah.
"When you're with a company for a month... there's not much an employer can do with you, except to give you just a more cursory sense of the work," said the Senior Minister of State for Law and Education.
"But if you are with them for a longer period... when you have a real responsibility, then the experience is quite different because you actually have to produce and deliver."

Background story
AUSTRALIAN WAY OF TRAINING YOUTH AND HELPING SMEs
Last year, Emily Burnell was learning how to be a chef at The Morrison, a restaurant in Sydney that is well known for its fresh oysters.
This year, the 19-year-old is working in The Restaurant Pendolino, learning how to serve up Italian cuisine.
"I want to learn as much as I can now, so that I can be the best chef possible," said the second-year apprentice chef.
Emily works four days a week for A$12 (S$14) an hour, and attends lessons at a Technical and Further Education (Tafe) College once a week.
These arrangements were made by HTN Hospitality Employment Solutions, a group training organisation (GTO) that farms out its 450 apprentice chefs and hospitality trainees to local businesses.
This model is Australia's way to help small and medium enterprises (SME) be more willing to train youth, said Mr Jeff Priday, a national projects manager at Group Training Australia, which represents about 120 GTOs across the country.
At least half of the GTO host employers are local enterprises. Many do not have the resources or time to arrange for apprenticeships or training programmes, he said. They are also not keen to commit to a contract because they cannot guarantee work.
Similar challenges are faced by SMEs in Singapore, which grapple with the perennial manpower constraints and rising costs.
So the idea is to create a separate organisation which will be the employer and bear these risks of taking on young trainees, Mr Priday explained.
The work of GTOs - which charge the host businesses A$1,500 to A$3,000 a year - includes recruitment, paying wages, matching apprentices to workplaces and monitoring their progress.
The usual training period with a firm is a year, but in more project-based sectors like construction, apprentices could be rotated to up to six companies over three years.
There are currently about 35,000 apprentices and trainees employed under this arrangement, and to date more than 100,000 businesses in Australia have used a GTO.

First of all congratulations, great work love this theme
Before I purchase, I have 3 questions:
- Is it possible to have the website in 2 languages (Portuguese, English) configurable in admin panel?
- what is the color of the available skins (with 5 ready-made skins)
- Is it possible to see a screen shot of full admin panel?
This question is very important for me because my knowledge are limited and I need to have a image of the admin panel to check the operation.
Hi Dario – thanks for the comments
1. Yes, multilanguage should be supported right out of the box using Wordpresses basic language conversion. This won't convert the actual code, but it should handle any content.
2. See the new product description above. All 5 color previews are now listed.
3. Sure. Here is a snapshot of the v1.0 admin panel – Keep in mind that all content is controlled by the very easy to use Pages menu inside Wordpress
I love the design, and functionality. This would have been bought immediately if it had a blog feature like you mentioned already. I'm sure the Services page can be easily fixed as well.
Please have me know when the blog is coming up, and if paying extra would expedite the process.
Thanks for the comment – The services link is already patched – it was never meant to link to Single.html at all – so now it's corrected
Keep in mind that the blog feature will very likely raise the price in the future and that all buyers get the updates for free – so for buyers with the intention of buying this theme at a future date, it might make sense to save $5 or $10 and pick it up right now at the lower price and then grab the update when it's available.
Cheers! Brandon
looks great, good move with the fixed nav there. just kindda getting bored of seeing cu3er everywhere now :/
Thanks – I've actually made CU3ER totally optional in this theme – it's totally easy to strip out. As an author, it's important for some buyers to see CU3ER included, but I agree that it's "everywhere" now. Just keep in mind that the key features of this site don't include CU3ER and it's not mandatory at all – it can be easily be replaced by anything you want – but for those users who do want it, it's a nice bonus.
I never saw such an awesome one-page portfolio…. but do you upload also the html version? would be amazing!
The FULL HTML version is now included along with the Wordpress version in the download. I'll be releasing the HTML version as a separate product as well in the next couple weeks for a lower price for users who don't need the Wordpress theme.
Great work Brandon! Looks awesome!
Thanks Philo! Means a lot coming from you
Incredible work Brandon, not that I've come to expect anything less. The documentation looks absolutely gorgeous on this one, the admin panel is simple, to the point, and useful, and the design is exceptional.
Thanks Alaire! Glad you like this one – it's been my secret project for a while now, it's nice to finally release it.
Didn't see this one coming… very very interesting. Can't say I've seen any other Wordpress themes that are very similar to this one. Wow! Love the dark version btw – so sleek!
Thanks Charles!
Going to purchase this once i have enough work to show off! Awesome and simple! I was planning on doing something similar
Thanks Henry! I actually designed this one with authors in mind as a quick, customizable, theme that's easy to assemble and turn into a portfolio. I'm glad you like it
Hi Everyone! First, thanks for the amazingly warm reception for this theme – it's been my "baby" for the past month or so and I've been sneaking away as many hours as possible to put it together. I'm stoked to see everyone liking it so much. I intended it to be a radically different addition to the already powerful stable of Wordpress themes here, and I hope it sparks some inspiration (and sales!). I worked very hard on this one, and I'm confident that it's a great theme
Next – I just dropped a mini-update into the reviewer queue. As a few of you spotted, I had a typo on the Services page and I caught a couple other very minor pixel-pushing details that I wanted to tweak. It's not a major update, so I'm sticking to the 1.0 version name. The demo has already received the edits, and the new file will be available for download as soon as the reviewer hits approve.
Thanks again everyone, I strongly appreciate the comments!
If anyone spots any bugs or has requests, fire me over an email from my profile page
No surprise here. Another great theme from Brandon!
Thanks Cesiel – that's really kind of you to say
Just purchased the theme. Looks fantastic. Great documentation.
However, I followed each step, and for some reason, I can't get Cu3er to rotate the images. The first "dummy image" does show up (slide_1.jpg), but it stays static. I haven't touched any of the code on the home page below or the XML file. The images (slide_1-5) are in the images directory as well (verified each). Also went to the Cu3er site per the documentation and can get the slider to work outside wordpress, but not as documented in theme.
Site is http://www.anmpharm.com/v3

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Actually – I've fixed a typo and improved this a little bit in the last mini update – hold up an hour until the reviewer approves the download and you should be good to go (I'll leave a note here as soon as it's ready for download).
Philo down below is right though, it has to do with the swfobject location, which had a typo in the early version that I posted last night.
Hey jbraun ,
I checked out your website and you forgot to upload the following files:
Hi Epicera.
Good job! Just purchased your work!
Can you also send me a copy of the fix to make the CU3ER work on the site…
Thanks! Bless you!
The reviewers seem to be a bit slower today (it's the weekend so it's understandable) – just fire me over an email and I'll serve you up with the latest update over email Cheers!
Edit – Sent it! Thanks for the email.
Solve it. Thanks…
On the config_shapeshifter.xml, the URLS need to be changed to the domain of your site instead of the imported URLS from the DUMMY XML .example:
This is one of the best themesforest sites! Good job Epicera! Merry Christmas to all!
Just downloaded this for the HTML version… has it been included yet in the download? The 'www' folder seems to be for the Wordpress theme.
Want to install this ASAP ! =)

The repertoire allowed Krithika Varsha to showcase varied emotions.
Krithika Varsha's fleet-footed movements and a wide-eyed exuberance caught the audience attention. . Krithika is a disciple of Ananda Shankar Jayant whose institution Shankarananda Kalakshetra in Hyderabad is known for encouraging both traditional and contemporary values in Bharatanatyam.
Krithika's dance came like a breath of fresh air – eschewing coy looks or artifice but with the energy and zeal to impress. The opening Pushpanjali and Dasavataram in ragamalika emphasised pace and emotional content.
Smooth execution
Quick cameos for the ten avatars of Vishnu that were poetically extolled by Jayadeva, were depicted neatly without raw edges. In particular, the coronation of Rama was impressive; it was rendered with spirit by the dancer. The composing also worked to the dancer's advantage and made for continuity of mood with the main lyric which followed.
Papanasam Sivan's varnam 'Swami Naan Undan Adimai' in Nattakuranji and Adi talam allowed the dancer to paint a vast canvas of emotions relating, ranging from bhakti to sringara . The choreography explored the omniscience of Nataraja and the awe he inspires. Vibrant nattuvangam by Ananda along with the harmonious inputs from vocalist Venu Madhav, mridangam artist Renuka Prasad and violinist Saikumar on the orchestra added lustre to the dancing.
Krithika's delineation succeeded in projecting the majesty of Siva admirably aided by the many striking postures detailing Gangadhara, Ardhanareeswara and others - but missed out on stressing the pathos of the devotee. Her lithe moves were proof of stamina and good comprehension of talam for the rhythmical sections but the bouncy enthusiasm flowed over to the abhinaya. This was where there one felt the need for maturity of thought in the dancer. The devotee's anguish came across as a bare statement without insight or the deep fervour so palpably felt by the poet. Yet Krithika's sincere approach saved this piece from being merely a facile representation and gave it life.
'Krishna Nee Begane Baro' was a delightful presentation about the pranks of Krishna. While the mother's indulgence was captured in mime adequately, some variations in this theme would have lent it a little extra edge. What fleshed out this melodious piece in Yamankalyani was her totally captivating and realistic representation of the toddler Krishna. Her response to the lilting notes in the Mohanakalyani thillana elaborated her graceful empathy in dance.

Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: Vietnam confirms floating object not plane life raft
Published on Mar 10, 2014 5:18 PM
HANOI (REUTERS) - A Vietnamese rescue helicopter has retrieved a floating yellow object from the sea and determined it was not a life raft from a missing Malaysian plane, as was earlier suspected, the country's civil aviation authority said on Monday.
"It has salvaged the object, at the notice and request by Malaysia's rescue centre, 130 km south-west of Tho Chu island. The object has been identified as a moss-covered cap of a cable reel," the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said on its website.
It did not specify whether or not the object was part of a plane but said photographs would be sent to its command centre.
Vietnam scrambled two helicopters from southern Phu Quoc island on Monday afternoon to retrieve the item spotted earlier by a search plane.

Square reveals Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn NPC relationship system
Posted on April 1, 2014 AT 04:52am
Square Enix is getting in on the April Fools' Day action by revealing a new system for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn that allows players to form relationships with NPCs.
According to the publisher, the "Favour" system will allow players to form relationships with several male and female NPCs in the game world by giving them gifts and performing tasks for them—just like a dating sim.
"This new system will allow adventurers to grow even closer to their favorite NPCs. Have you held out hope that one day Minfilia will look your way for longer than a cutscene? Or perhaps you offer gifts to Merlwyb to try and win her over? Well, that's what the Favour system is for!
"Who are you looking forward to raising favour with in this new system? While we showcased female NPCs in today's update, rest assured that male NPCs will be debuting in the system at the same time!"
NPCs will react positively to certain race, hair, and outfit choices—to increase the demand for Fantastia potions—and each will have two phases to work through. One example given was for Minfilia, whose initial phase is "The Spoilt Maiden" where you can't refuse any of her requests, while her second phase is "The Clingy Maiden" where she will call you constantly and ban you from forming parties with other female characters.
Of course this is just a clever little April Fools' joke from Square Enix, so everything above is complete rubbish, but it's a fun—albeit creepy—idea.
To add to the fun, Square Enix also turned every user on the Final Fantasy XIV forum into game director and producer Naoki Yoshida, complete with new avatar to match.

This article was previously published under Q142309
Windows allows you to resolve NetBIOS names using the HOSTS file or Domain Name System (DNS) server. To do this, you must select the Enable DNS for Windows Name Resolution check box in the Advanced Microsoft TCP/IP Configuration dialog box of Control Panel Network.
In addition, Windows uses Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), b-node broadcasts and the LMHOSTS file for NetBIOS name resolution. If all of these name resolution methods are used, an h-node host computer implements them in the following order:

I might buy this again in the future. It definitly smudges way too much though. I love the brush and the consistancy of the mascara. When the mascara is freshly put on it looks great. Later on in the day...racoon :( I just wonder if it's a ploy to buy their she-laq too?????

This has been my go to mascara for several years and I really like it. I do wish it had longer staying power, but it doesnt smudge or run for me, just kind of loses its ooompf by the end of the day. It gives me long, thick, dramatic lashes without clumps or spider legs very similar to Dior Show or YSL but better in my opinion.

I have no problem with this mascara smudging on my eyes. Perhaps my lashes are so long (contributed to Talika) that the mascara stays as put. Can understand shorter lashes having a problem w/smudging as when you bat your lashes the product has nowhere to go. I've tried the Blue Bad Gal as well but not crazy about that one. I understand Benefit is introducing a Plum Bad Gal and that one I cannot wait to try. I'm in minority here but the Bad Gal works wonders for me. Gee, what does one have to do to prevent smudging? Don't know, except try an eyelash base? (EDIT: changing from 5 to 4 lippies as after using for a week or so the product seemed to clump IN the tube.)

I love the way Bad Gal Lash makes my lashes look super lush and thick, and very black. But I absolutely HATE how much it smudges! Crap, it doesn't even smudge, it literally melts off into streaks of black! It was ridiculous. I wore this once when I went bowling and got very sweaty. At the most, I expected a little smudging under my eye - but no, I had HUGE and VERY noticable black streaks under my eyes, like I had been crying.
Price - sort of expensive, but you get a whole lot more product than you usually do with mascaras. Also, love the packaging, but BeneFit never fails with that!
Overall...lasting power in a mascara is very important to me (if the mascara smudges, I will never, NEVER use it again. I hate smudging!), so this means that I won't be purchasing this again until the formula is changed!
EDIT// I've got long lashes, and they have no problem holding a curl if I use a lash curler beforehand (which I always do). No idea why it smudges...perhaps I have oily lids? So stay away from this mascara if you've got oily lids, or oily skin in general.

I absolutely adore this mascara! I received the mini as a gift and only used it once or twice and wasn't really impressed, but I recently revisited it and WOW. It just makes my lashes look so full and gorgeous! And they look natural, not spidery or clumpy. I personally have had no issues with smudging and I live in Florida. I just reordered another tube from Sephora. I never want to be without this mascara. It's the best I've tried in a very long time.

I too think this mascara could be great, but it smudges so badly that I just can't use it. I love the packaging. The brush wand is great and my eyelashes look great when freshly applied - but don't even think about blinking!!

This mascara would be absolutely amazing if it weren't for the fact that it smudges. The wand is a perfect size, application is easy, the mascara itself is the perfect consistency (not too dry, not too liquidy) and it really does work--upon application, my lashes look FABULOUS, full, long, perfectly separated...and I am definitely not blessed with good eyelashes naturally. However, a couple of hours into the day I look like I've been out all night, gotten wasted, and not washed off my eye makeup. Benefit, change your formula, your product is almost perfect!!!

People who live in humid/warm climates: Do Not Purchase. After an hour of applying (1 coat), a friend let me know that I had mascara all over my eye area. I couldn't believe it since this was not a cheap mascara. Even the $1.99 nonbrand mascara I bought at the discount store doesn't smudge like this. The only thing I like about the mascara was the wand because its huge and it coats and separates each lash but its useless if the mascara is going to smudge all over your face

I found the wand difficult to manoeuver, and could never seem to reach my outer lashes without getting the mascara on my eye lid. Otherwise, I'd say it's pretty good but not any better than cheaper brands!
