My perfect Hous(e)ton: River Oaks
Casey Kruse | November 6, 2012 | Updated: January 5, 2013 6:53pm

River Oaks is easily Houston's best-known neighborhood, located east of the bustling Galleria area, south of Memorial Park, and west of eclectic Montrose. Designed as an exclusive planned community the 1920s, River Oaks has long been home to the city's most affluent citizens, making 77019 the most coveted zip code in Houston.
When William and Michael Hogg established the River Oaks neighborhood in the early 1920s, they commissioned residential architect John F. Staub to design the River Oaks Country Club and two model homes. Famous for employing a careful elegance and an astute attention to detail, Staub went on to design Bayou Bend, the 24-room estate of Ima Hogg, and 31 other homes in the neighborhood.
River Oaks homes vary in style and size, but all have one thing in common: immaculate landscaping. The shady, tree-lined streets, lush yards and color-splashed gardens are obligingly disorienting.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, with its award-winning schools River Oaks offers a variety of outstanding public and private educational opportunities. Numerous private schools serve the area, including the well-known River Oaks Baptist School, St. Thomas High School, and St. Anne Catholic School, to name a few.
River Oaks falls within the Houston Independent School District. HISD schools include River Oaks Elementary, Lanier Middle School and Lamar High School. All three schools are distinguished as International Baccalaureate World Schools, a distinction synonymous with challenging curriculum and a focus on global awareness.
The River Oaks Shopping Center on West Gray is an impressive assortment of boutique shops, retail chains, and places to eat. There are over 75 stores and restaurants in this shopping center. Boutique shops, clothing stores, spas and nail salons make ROSC a destination for a relaxing day with the girls. If you're in the mood for drinks, the eclectic Marfreless is the go-to place for dates, while Sherlock's pub lends itself to the happy hour crowd or a more casual evening with friends. The shopping center is also home to the River Oaks Movie Theater, a 3-screen theater opened in 1939 which plays mostly independent and foreign films.
River Oaks boasts a wide variety of restaurants. Local favorite Ouisie's Table is located on San Felipe just outside the residential area of River Oaks and has been featured in magazines for its delicious brunch dishes. Backstreet Cafe on Shepherd has a cozy elegance that niched perfectly within its alluring surroundings.
At River Oaks Shopping Center, América's and La Griglia are popular date-night destinations, while Tinto's Spanish Restaurant and Wine Bar serves a unique assortment of tappas.
Bayou Bend Gardens, a must-see River Oaks landmark, is a 14-acre property originally owned by Ima Hogg, who was a passionate gardener. Hogg donated the grounds and her estate to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in the 1950s. The impressive grounds are now open to the public.
Opened in 1923, the River Oaks Country Club includes a golf course created by famed golfer/course designer Donald Ross, and has hosted the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship since 1931 (at which time it was known as the River Oaks International Tennis Tournament).
Houston's most elegant neighborhood features exemplary schools, chic shops, mouth-watering cuisine, and one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces. Just a few of the reasons why River Oaks is an iconic Houston favorite.

See H.-J. Wintzer, Equine Diseases (1986).
The causal agent, EEE, was first isolated from infected horse brains in 1933. In 1938, the first confirmed human cases were identified when thirty children died of encephalitis in northeastern USA. These cases coincided with outbreaks in horses in the same regions. The fatality rate in humans is 35% and there is currently no cure for human infections.
EEE is capable of infecting a wide range of animals including mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The virus is maintained in nature through a bird - mosquito cycle. There are two mosquito species primarily involved in this portion of the cycle, they are Culiseta melanura and Cs. morsitans. These mosquitoes feed on the blood of birds. The amount of virus found in nature increases throughout the summer as more birds and more mosquitoes become infected. Transmission of EEEV to mammals occurs via other mosquitoes. These other mosquitoes are called bridge vectors because they bring the virus from avian populations to mammalian populations. They include Coquiletidia perturbans, Aedes vexans, Ochlerotatus sollicitans and Oc. canadensis. All these mosquitoes are primarily mammalian feeders. Generally, people only become sick through the bite of an infected mosquito. Humans, horses and other infected mammals do not circulate enough virus in their blood to infect additional mosquitoes. There have been some cases where EEEV has been contracted through lab exposures or from exposure of the eyes, lungs or skin wounds to brain or spinal cord matter from infected animals.
Symptoms in horses occur 1-3 weeks after infection and begin with a fever that may reach as high as 106 degrees fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius). The fever usually lasts for 24-48 hours. Nervous signs appear during the fever that include sensitivity to sound, periods of excitement, and restlessness. Brain lesions appear causing drowsiness, drooping ears, circling, and abnormal gait. Paralysis follows causing the horse to have difficulty raising its head. The horse usually suffers complete paralysis and death 2-4 days after symptoms appear. Mortality rates among horses with the eastern strain range from 70 to 90%.
The disease can be prevented in horses with the use of vaccinations. These vaccinations are usually given together with vaccinations for other diseases, most commonly WEE, VEE, and tetanus. Most vaccinations for EEE consist of the killed virus.
Several states in the northeast US have seen increased virus activity since 2004. Between 2004 and 2006 there were at least 10 human cases of EEE reported in Massachusetts. In 2006, approximately in southeastern Massachusetts were treated with mosquito adulticides to reduce the risk of humans contracting EEE. There have been several human cases reported in New Hampshire as well.
In October 2007 a citizen of Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland became the first European victim of this disease. The man had visited New Hampshire during the summer of 2007 on a fishing vacation and was diagnosed as having EEEV on 13th September 2007. He fell ill with the disease on 31st August 2007 just one day after flying home.
EEEV is closely related to Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and Western equine encephalitis virus.

Tunis — "Anti-Aids fight is not only a fight against a disease but also a struggle for human rights, notably the right to life," United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé said.
At the end of his meeting, on Monday, with Human Rights and Transitional Justice Minister Samir Dilou, Mr. Sidibé told journalists that it had been an occasion to discuss issues pertaining to risk groups as those who inject drugs, prostitutes or sexually-abused women, etc.
"Unfortunately, everywhere in the world, several young girls are affected by this disease, in view of the multiple abuses they suffer," he specified.
Mr. Sidibé laid emphasis on the need "to ensure that all people, whatever their social status or origin, have access to medicines and information to be protected against this epidemic."
Besides, he highlighted the efforts exerted by Tunisia to "reinforce opportunities of access to health care for the poor people's benefit" and guarantee the foundations of social justice.

Commitment issues on 'Friday Night Lights'
The first 50 minutes or so of this week's Friday Night Lights? Pretty strong, with only a quibble or two about Smash's recruiting. The last 10 minutes, though? Oy.
(I verbally commit to give you some spoilers.)
In terms of the pressure applied to a star player to pick a school, the phalanx of recruiters promising the world to Smash feels pretty accurate. Recruiting has become a cottage industry, with players tracked practically from the time they put their pads on, and top prospects sometimes declaring their intentions on national TV. So it's no surprise that Smash is being deluged, and that his mother is increasingly peeved about it.
That said, verbal commitments are about as valuable as the paper they're printed on; it's true that there's more pressure than ever to give them, but all that really matters is when a player signs a letter of intent in February. But since Friday Night Lights sets its TV-season calendar to the Texas football season, which ends in December, it doesn't get to do a singing-day episode.
So, fine. If the show's intent was to illustrate the weight of expectations on kids (and their families) who may or may not be ready to handle it, then well done. Loved the scene with Mrs. Williams, Tami and the Oklahoma Tech recruiter at the grocery, and the smack-talk between Smash and Chip about who was recruiting whom. Coach's chat with Smash and his adviser/girlfriend Noelle hit its mark too, as it dawns on Smash that he might not be The Man right away in college, wherever he decides to go.
Still, for all the talk about him taking his time and not making an emotional decision, didn't it seem like Smash made up his mind awfully quickly after the TMU recruiter showed up? Granted, TMU has become a stand-in for the University of Texas, and as far back as the pilot, Smash was talking about going to Austin (although UT was actually referred to by name then). Hope the fine print works out for him.
In the Taylor household, Tim Riggins has been shown the door (and has taken to sleeping in the Panthers' training room), and now Eric is hoping Tami's sister Shelley will be following him. He sees an opening when Shelley announces she passed her real estate exam, but no, she's thinking about setting up a phone line for her and Julie to share.
Tami, too, is getting exasperated over spilled eggs and shorted-out hair dryers, and things come to a head when Shelley erases Eric's game tape for The Office ("I don't know if you'd like it," she tells Eric. "It's very talky"). He blows up and asks just when the heck she'll be getting her own place -- and immediately regrets it, both because it's not really his place (she's not his blood relative, after all) and because, well, it just wasn't very nice.
It was, however, a pretty nice way to usher out Jessalyn Gilsig's guest stint. Shelley got more interesting as her stay lengthened, largely because of the dynamic between her and Tami; their final scene was appropriately bittersweet, and the two talks Eric and Tami about it were just two more showcases for how wonderfully Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton play off one another. Neither one contained any big, emotional moments, but instead showcased the smaller gestures and inflections they use to make just as big a point. Just really good stuff.
Eric's moment with Julie when she finally fesses up to being drunk and Tim trying to help also blew me away. All he says is "Damn, Julie. Damn," but his look and body language convey about a hundred times more than that.
As for Riggins, he finally works up the heart to go home, only to find Billy gone and delinquency notices on the door. Jackie, whose taking up with Billy made Tim leave in the first place, explains as she's loading up her car to move that Billy lost his job and is at some seriously loose ends. It was a reasonably tidy (if overly belated) way to tidy up the Jackie story, and it would have been nice to see the brothers try to work through their problems.
But instead, the show has them go and rob Tim's ex-roommate the meth dealer. Never mind that it was really stupid for them to take the money; it also feels a little bit lazy. It's emblematic of some of the other problems the show has had this season, smacking of network notes and promo-driven storytelling, and it left me shaking my head.
For that matter, so did the explanation for the Laribee coach's meltdown. You probably saw his hit on Riggins multiple times before the episode actually aired, so the act itself couldn't have come as much of a surprise. But why the coach needed an excuse (his wife is dying) is beyond me. Can't a jerk -- especially one we had never seen before last week and probably never will again -- just be a jerk? It's not like a coach who gets too wrapped up in his own game is such a reach in this world.
Other thoughts from tonight's episode:
- Some bad football continuity tonight. For starters, it appears the Laribee QB wears number 24, which you just wouldn't see in big-time high school football. Additionally, before the final sequence leading to the coach tackling Riggins (at least on the DVD screener NBC sent to critics) the radio announce says Dillon trails by five. Yet the scoreboard reads Dillon 45, Laribee 43. It's not the first time that's happened on the show, but it was a pretty bad goof. Here's hoping someone caught that before the final version went out.
- I can't quote the rulebook or anything, but I'm guessing that Riggins was awarded a touchdown on the final play, as he appeared to have no one else in front of him. Thus, Dillon wins.
- Loved the talk between Tami and Shelley about Tami's shirt -- "It's too sexy for you. ... You can't wear it to school, what about the boys and their hormones?" Shelley says -- and the fact that Tami's wearing it in their goodbye scene.
- Mama Smash to the recruiter at the grocery: "You need to relocate your butt up outta my way." And, "Mister, you might be the nicest person I ever met, or you might be Satan himself. But either way, this conversation is over."
- Lots of missing folks tonight: No Lyla, Buddy, Landry, Tyra or Street, who's been missing the last two episodes. Where'd you go, Six?
- Also really liked Coach's apology to Riggins, and the way it was juxtaposed with Tim and Billy counting their stolen money.
How'd you like this week's Friday Night Lights? There's no way things can end well for the Riggins boys, is there?

Study: Shoppers check out products in stores before buying online
We all price-compare before purchasing, and you can almost always find a better price lurking in some dark corner of the internet than in an actual, physical store. That being said, we also want to hold the thing. I'm not going to buy a pair of shoes at Zappos before trying them on first. What if they're not a true size 7? (Full disclosure: I'm a 9.) And what about the return shipping fee?
Easy solution. Go to a store and try them on. If they fit, go home, get online, and click "Complete Purchase" at Amazon. Or Overstock. Or wherever. And it turns out you're not alone. According to research firm NPD Group, Inc.,
Up to 20% of consumers buying specific consumer electronic products last year first checked out the items inside physical stores before making purchases online, according to a new study from NPD Group Inc. that details a practice often called "showrooming."
More specifically, the survey found that the following percentages of consumers researched the following products inside stores before buying those items online:
• 20% for stand mixers.
• 18% for bare floor cleaners.
• 15% for sewing machines.
•15% for electric knives.
• 13% for robotic vacuum cleaners.
• 11% for hair setters.
Price comparison apps like Shop Savvy and the free Price Check app from Amazon (which they pay you to use!) are physical retailers' worst nightmares. But better for our wallets. It all comes down to which business you're willing to support, and how far you're willing to go ($) to support them.

Improvements to How Agencies Buy Goods, Services Bear out Little Fruit
September 20, 2012
President Barack Obama put improving the federal acquisition process at the center of his management initiatives. Over the last three years, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy focused on three broad goals:
- Demonstrating fiscal responsibility - OFPP wants agencies to ensure competition, reduce the number of high risk contracts, such as time and materials and labor hours types, and improve the efficiency of their buying by, in part, moving toward strategic sourcing to take advantage of the government's size.
- Strengthening the acquisition workforce - The goal is to have a better trained and equipped contracting officers and contracting officer's representatives.
- Performance of inherently governmental and critical functions - Agencies have been reviewing the makeup of their contractor and employee workforces and figuring out the best balance of the two, paying close attention to jobs that should only be done by federal employees.

The Shine Envy Tong
So as you guys can see its a large barrel curling iron, Works how the usual ones do! What I noticed straight away is how lightweight this iron is, Its very comfortable to hold and the handle section is oval rather than round which also makes it more manageable to work with.
The iron has a lit-up display which shows the levels, Hi - Lo and which you are set to. You can adjust it with the buttons below the screen (Sorry for stating the obvious a little haha) When being held it feels high in quality and is aesthetically pleasing...and shiny! (we all like a bit of shine)
This tong is great for big loose curls/waves and would be great if you like to wear your hair with the 'beachy wave' look. The curls did drop though after an hour or two so I wouldn't suggest to use it for a big occasion - Maybe whack out the hairspray!
*Vidal Sassoon - Pro shine curl tong
I have been using this tong for a week or so now and I have been enjoying it, Its great for those days where I need to be out the door because it heats up in seconds and when my hair is straight I just run some loose curls through the ends and go! As the name suggests it does also boost the shine in my hair after I use it - The image above dosent show it very well but it does in real life!
I always touch on the negative points too though as there are always some for every product! - As I said I like that this tong creates loose curls, but I don't think its so good at creating a good strong curl (if that makes any sense) and I think thats why the curls do drop quite quickly. Its not the best curling iron I have tried. I have tried to look up how much this product is, In some places it was £67 and some places £29 I believe it is worth the latter.
Let me know if any of you have tried this tong and what you think of it. Its been a pleasure to try out!

ISTANBUL: Turkey's parliament may reconvene early from its summer recess to pass laws to expand Kurdish rights, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday, a move crucial to resolving a 28-year conflict.
Kurds want legislative reforms to address long-standing grievances, what they see as the next step in a peace process after the armed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) declared a ceasefire and began withdrawing fighters to bases outside Turkey earlier this year.
"Our friends are now completing their work on the articles, and hopefully we will announce our democratisation package aimed at the new period. It's possible parliament will reopen early," Erdogan told reporters in comments broadcast by CNN Turk.
Kurdish-language education, changes to anti-terror laws, reducing the electoral threshold from 10 percent and expanding local governance are among the reforms, Selahattin Demirtas, head of parliament's pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), said late last month.
The BDP wants to see reforms passed by mid-October, he said.
Parliament, dominated by Erdogan's AK Party, adjourned for summer recess last month. It is scheduled to start on Oct. 1.
Erdogan's government has been in talks with Abdullah Ocalan, the PKK's jailed leader, since late 2012 in what is seen by many in Turkey as the best chance yet at ending a conflict that has killed more than 40,000 people, mainly Kurds, since 1984.
The PKK, which Turkey, the United States and the European Union list as a terrorist organisation, took up arms in a campaign to carve out an independent homeland in the mainly Kurdish southeast but has scaled back its demands to greater cultural rights and political autonomy for Turkey's Kurds.
Kurds make up about 20 percent of Turkey's population of 76 million people. After the modern Turkish Republic was formed in 1923, Kurds were not recognised as a distinct ethnicity and were barred from using their language in the public realm.

The World Health Organization (WHO) calls the Ebola outbreak in West Africa among the most challenging ever. The organization reports the virus has killed 101 people in Guinea and 10 in Liberia.
Ebola is one of the world's deadliest viruses and the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders is helping local health care workers in Guinea treat Ebola patients. The fatality rate for the strain that has broken out in Guinea is up to 90 percent.
The virus has spread to the capital, Conakry, from forests in the south. The WHO is concerned that Ebola has broken out in a region where it had never appeared before.
But Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the infectious diseases division at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), says Ebola's appearance in West Africa should not come as a surprise.
"It's a disease that's spread by direct contact with an infected person, but it's also spread by exposure to an infected animal like a bat," Fauci said. "And since we know those animals are in those areas of those adjacent countries, it's not that unusual to see outbreaks in areas of southern Africa that are adjacent to each other."
Fruit bats are the primary carriers of Ebola, although the virus doesn't kill the bats. Humans get the virus from infected bats or other animals that these bats come in contact with. Fauci says people should avoid eating bush meat and bats when there's an outbreak of Ebola.
The symptoms are very much like those of the flu: fever, weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. But that's where the comparison ends. The next stage in Ebola is vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases, internal and external bleeding. The flu is airborne, Ebola is not.
"Ebola is almost invariably spread by direct contact with bodily fluids, particularly blood and secretions - vomit, things like that - of people who are deathly ill and people are taking care of them, so it's usually family members, health care providers, ministers who minister to the sick and to the dead, and to morticians who take care of the bodies," Fauci said.
The best way to control the virus is to get people with symptoms into isolation wards. Researchers are trying to find effective medications, but at the moment the best chances of beating the disease are to drink plenty of fluids and get treated for secondary infections such as diarrhea.
A number of patients in Guinea have recovered and have been discharged from treatment centers. But doesn't mean they are completely free of Ebola.
The WHO reports that men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus to sex partners for up to seven weeks after they recover.

Cooking with fynbos experience with Cape Town's Table Bay Hotel
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
If being driven in style in a luxury vehicle, exploring a picturesque nature reserve and feasting on a decadent five-course meal sounds like your idea of a great day out in Cape Town, you can't do much better than the Table Bay Hotel's Cooking with Fynbos experience.
A gastronomic and outdoor adventure that forms part of the V&A Waterfront's Spring Campaign, the Cooking with Fynbos experience is managed by the Table Bay Hotel's Executive Sous Chef Adrian Schreuder. Fynbos are indigenous plants found in the Cape Floral Kingdom (south-western and southern Cape) and are unique to South Africa.
We were treated to the luxurious outing on Saturday, October 6, 2012 and can happily report it exceeded our expectations.
Not only were we left gobsmacked by the car (with complimentary waters, newspapers and hot towels for the hour-and-a-half journey), we were astounded by the sheer magnitude and beauty of the Baskloof Private Nature Reserve, just outside Scarborough (a coastal area an hour from Cape Town's city centre).
Owned and maintained by Adrian's parents-in-law Ivan and Danielle Harris, the reserve runs purely on solar heating and hydro power. While enjoying a 20-minute guided walk along the property, we were able to assist Adrian with picking the fynbos, wild dagga, wild rosemary and thyme that would be used in our dinner that evening.
A visit to the on-site Co-existence Centre provided the perfect opportunity to view the photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, micro-hydro and auxiliary components of inverters, controllers, monitors and battery banks. It also gave us the chance to sample Adrian's delectable beef and barley soup, with wild rosemary for a fragrant taste.
Dinner at the Table Bay Hotel's Conservatory was a marvellous gourmet quest and Adrian's passion for creating unique South African dishes was immediately apparent.
From the samp and bean soup starter, coffee and cumin encrusted kudu Carpaccio and pan-seared Norwegian salmon to the sinfully tasty hot chocolate fondant with wild mint ice-cream and crystallised wild dagga flowers, the meal was an epic and fantastic journey for the taste buds.
The menu we chose was just one of five available and you may pair your dishes with a range of award-winning wine from the Conservatory's wine list.
Adrian shares his musings about the Cooking with Fynbos experience and why he #LovesCapeTown with us:
The full-day Cooking with Fynbos experience is R950 per person and can be booked via email@example.com or +27 (0)21 406 5988.

Shlishkes are small potato-based dumplings, popular in Ashkenazic Eastern European cooking. These soft dumplings are traditionally rolled in browned and flavored crumbs. Make this dish non-Gebrokts by using the gnocchi potato dough for the shlishkes, and by replacing the matzo meal with more ground almonds for the crumbs. Or just save this special recipe for the last day of Pesach like I do!

Passover Sweet Potato Gnocchi
February 26th 2013By Tamar Genger MA, RD
These Gnocchi are not exactly the healthiest thing I ever made, but they are sure are a nice change of pace for Passover and the cream cheese in the dough adds a really nice richness. At least we get a boost of Vitamin A from the sweet potatoes.
Lemon Thyme Gnocchi
December 20th 2010By Chef Laura Frankel
Homemade gnocchi sounds ambitious but is actually very easy. The gnocchi can be made several days ahead of serving and can be stored in the refrigerator. Chef's hint: be sure to put the potatoes through a ricer while they are still hot but can be handled. The resulting gnocchi will be fluffy and light, not heavy.

How would I remove the Recent Post and Accordion widget on the homepage? Great theme, by the way.
Send me a message via themeforest I will explain you how to.
Hello, for some reason, the custom post for the welcome message doesn't do anything. The welcome message stays the default Liveset one. Where do you add top_message and subtitle, the documentation doesn't specify.
Hi, thanks for buying liveset! When you are modifying your homepage page, in add a new custom field. First you have to active the custom fields, on the top right of the page you should see a screenoptions tab, click on it and then check the custom fields box. If you still have problem please send me a message with your email.
Thanks and have an awesome day
Looks like some of the functionalities are not available during local dev, hence it was missing. All's fine when it was uploaded. Thanks for the prompt response however, rating this for support! Have an awesome day yourself.
Great theme! How do I get the slider to fade instead of slide in?
Hi, thanks for buying Liveset!
If you want to change the slider to fade instead of slide you will need to modify the custom.js file on the line 1083 , change "slide" to "fade".
If you want my personal help just send me a message!
Have an awesome day!
Is that the ONLY location to make that edit? The images still slide in after making that edit, emptying cache and double-checking in a completely different browser.
Hi! For the homepage slider, you need to modify the envato-flex-slider.php file which is in the functions folder. Send me a message if you want more help. Have a nice day!
Hi Ryuka,
I noticed that on the portfolio pages it says "All Project" instead of "All Projects" above where it displays the different portfolios…
How do I edit this? Thanks, Lorie Bend Oregon Web Design
Thanks for buying Liveset!
Oh.. my bad
You will need to modify the single-portfolio.php on the line 113. Or just search for all project in the file using ctrl+f.
Sorry for the inconvenience have a nice day
Hi, recently when the page first loads up, the first slider image is around 10 pixels above it's position offsetting the layout, then when the second image slides in, it resets itself. Have you encountered this?
Hi, Did you make any change to the flexslider script? Can you give your website link please? Thanks in advance and have a nice day
I've messaged you the link. Thanks again!
HI! I was wondering if there was a way to change the way the date displays in the blog? We would like the month to appear before the day.
It is possible but you will have to modify the blog.php file
Search for : <?php echo get_the_time('d'); ?> / <?php echo get_the_time('m'); ?>
and replace the get_the_time('d'); by get_the_time('m'); and get_the_time('m'); by get_the_time('d');
Send me a message for more help.
Have a nice day!
Thanks, I replaced exactly what you said, and it didn't change it. Any other ideas? It's not the cache either, we tried it on a fresh computer.
Which blog template are you using? Try to modify the index.php
I am having trouble getting the contact form to line up. It seems to be cascading down. can you help? http://cranetownmedia.com/contact/ is my page.
Also is it possible to enlarge the subtitle font on the home page?

Hi, thanks for buying Liveset. Are you using the theme with the 3.5 version of WP?
I just downgraded from 3.5 to 3.3.3 and the accordion is still not working. Can you please advise. Am I missing something. I am clicking on the insert shortcode accordion tab. then i am adding my content and thats it. it all starts off open.
Strange, do you have my email right? Can you please send me your website and give me access to your wordpress?
Hello, on the individual portfolio post the main image is not being shown. On your demo it seems to be using prettyphoto which allows you to click and zoom in. Also the toggles on the homepage are expanded and do not function. I am using WP 3.5. Any suggestions. Thanks
First thanks for buying Liveset and sorry for taking so long to respond! The theme is not currently ready for WP3.5 I recommend you to use 3.4 version of WordPress
Hi The post tags are not showing up for me on blog style 1. I have already made a few changes and don't want to really revert to the other style. I added
Thank you, llroth2
Hi I forgot to include. I am using 3.5 as that was the option when I installed wordpress. I hope that I can solve these two small issues. Thanks!
I am looking to modify the homepage.php template. What I want to do is replace the 'why choose us accordion' on the right side with a recent posts column. This would leave me with 2 columns of recent posts. I would like each column to display recent posts from an assigned category. Is this possible?

'Boat people' give thanks to Navy commander
One thing wonderful about Thanksgiving is that it opens its arms wide. Gratitude is without measure and not judgmental. We can be thankful for health, for a loving family, for a new job found, for a drug-free teen, for the turkey before us, even for the Chargers' playoff hopes that remain alive, if barely.
For one family, observance will include memories of cold Pacific fingers reaching up into a small boat and of gratitude for the grace of God and the U.S. Navy. That's what this story is about.
When a powerful nation decides to quit a foreign war, it picks up and goes home, taking with it the implements of destruction. Left behind are many of the people who trusted that nation and invested their lives in its reassurances. The point is most emphatically proven by the Vietnam War.
The payback for Vietnamese who supported the United States was dramatized by photos of people clinging to a helicopter's skids, as though clinging to life, as the copter departed Saigon in April 1975.
Among those desperate to escape was the family of Duong Vu. He was a helicopter pilot in the South Vietnamese air force, and that meant the victorious North Vietnamese forces had his name on their target list for punishment.
His family fled from Saigon (renamed as Ho Chi Minh City) to a small farm, but they could not grow enough rice to survive. They were reduced to eating part of the trunk of a banana tree.
Duong himself spent a year in "re-education" captivity, and was told he would soon be sent to the north for a life sentence of hard labor. In June 1982, he and his wife, Thanh, decided to join tens of thousands of fellow Vietnamese in becoming "boat people."
They were under no illusions as to the risk. Thanh's uncle and half-brother had tried to escape earlier on a vessel with more than 100 people and were never heard from again.
Duong, the pregnant Thanh, and their three young children, including 8-year-old Xuan-Huong, crept through mud in the early morning darkness to avoid being seen and turned in by villagers who could then claim a reward. They reached the water and saw the rickety, 35-foot boat built for river fishing. They hid their fears and pushed off into the sea with 47 other refugees.
"We knew finding freedom was worth the risk of dying. If we make it, happy, and if cannot make it, we would die," Thanh says, remembering their resolution.
Shortly before the Vu family departed, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Al Bell, captain of the destroyer Morton, was in a Guam hotel room with four other captains listening to their squadron commander. The subject of picking up "boat people" was broached. Bell knew that admirals were exasperated at Navy ships being diverted to pick up "boat people" and taking them to port. They wanted it stopped. Also, other Southeast Asian countries were complaining about refugee camps literally bursting at the fences.
