Privacy advocates call for RFID regulationAugust 18, 2003
Gerald Santucci, head of the European Commission unit whose domain includes RFID issues, said he feared that rushing to place restrictions on industries hoping to use the technology would choke its potentially valuable application in health care, business, transportation and other realms.
But if regulators deem that widespread RFID use is insufficiently safe, secure and privacy-preserving, then "Mrs. Reding will have no other option but to trigger legislation," Santucci told participants at a luncheon discussion here organized by the law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge.
He was referring to a recent announcement by commissioner Viviane Reding, whose group focuses on "information society and media." She said that instead of issuing regulations, the commission plans to develop a set of guidelines--a "soft law," by Santucci's characterization--by year's end to lay out its expectations on issues like privacy and security. To get there, it plans to consult over the next several months with a to-be-named group of 25 to 30 people representing all facets of the RFID debate. (The European Commission is the European Union's executive arm and is composed of 27 commissioners, one from each member nation.)
By the close of 2008, the commission plans to reevaluate whether legislation is necessary. It's unclear how restrictive any potential rules would be.
That option is preferable for now because it typically takes as many as three years for new laws to gain final passage at the commission, and by then, RFID-specific rules may already be out of date, Santucci said. He indicated that even if the commission does decide it needs to enact new laws, they would cover more than just RFID.
Advocates of RFID, which broadcasts a unique ID through radio frequencies, argue that the technology affords myriad benefits, such as adding precision to medical operating rooms, allowing retailers to track inventory more closely, and helping doctors to monitor elderly or other homebound patients from afar.
But the idea of unfettered use has attracted a fair amount of outcry from privacy groups concerned about the potential for secret tracking, unauthorized collection of information and other abuses. Those fears have prompted a number of state legislatures to propose laws aimed at restricting, or in some cases outlawing, RFID use. (Some politicians on Capitol Hill, by contrast, formed a working group last year focused on exploring how the tiny chips might improve their constituents' quality of life.)
That sentiment is no different in Europe. More than two-thirds of the people who expressed their views to the commission during a recent public comment period on RFID said they had strong convictions against the chips' use, Santucci said.
Santucci attributed what he called a "problem of trust" to a lack of understanding about how the technology works. He suggested that governments and industry worldwide should build privacy protections into their RFID use, but they also must present a unified message about "why RFID is something that can add a lot to improve (citizens') quality of life."

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/21/12
The Oakland Raiders have agreed on a $2 million, one-year contract to bring back right tackle Khalif Barnes. Barnes' agent, Kenneth Zuckerman, said Wednesday the sides had reached a deal to keep Barnes in Oakland for a fourth season. After spending most of his first two years with the Raiders as a reserve, Barnes started all 16 games at right tackle last year. The deal comes the same day the Raiders lost starting center Samson Satele to Indianapolis in free agency. The Raiders signed guard Mike Brisiel to a four-year deal worth almost $20 million last week and brought back recently released guard Cooper Carlisle this week.

2004 Ford F-150 Ratings
Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
2004 Ford F-150 - FX4 4x4 Super Cab Styleside Styleside 6.5' Box
Pros: The looks!
Cons: Wish I had opted for power seats.
Advice: Just buy one! Hundreds of configurations.After years of sedans and minivans, this is my first pickup truck. I've always preferred Ford vehicles, and was looking forward to the new body style. I'm thrilled with the looks, build quality, ride and performance. My F150 Supercrew is the best riding vehicle I've driven. The 5.4L engine is quite, suspension is smooth by firm. No wind noise. Gas mileage is decent considering the size of this rig. 18 on the highway, 16 around town. No much less than my pint size Escape!
2004 Ford F-150 - Lariat 4x4 Super Cab Styleside Styleside 6.5' Box
Pros: Overall appearance
Cons: Difficult to see behind the vehicle - wish I had ordered the reverse sensing system
Advice: Go with the larger V8, get reverse sensing, love the leatherIt is by far the quietest, most comfortable and best looking vehicle, car or truck, that I have ever owned. Last vehicle was a Silverado 1500 LT Z71, loaded. A good truck, but not even close to the new Ford F150.
2004 Ford F-150 - FX4 4x4 Super Cab Styleside Styleside 5.5' Box

Cons: None
Advice: Buy one you will not be disaointed!This truck is the nicest truck i drove and i have drove them all. love it. buy one you will not be disapointed! the truck has a powerful motor. i looked at the chevy silverado but was very disapointed in the quailty!!!!

Pros: ride
Cons: gas mileages
Advice: spend the extra money to get the 5.4L V-8. don't get the small V-8. If you have to get the V-6Love it. I know I had to have it as so as I drove off of the lot. The best riding truck I have every drove. I got the 4.6L V-8 wish that I had the 5.4 or even the 4.2 V-6. the power is very little diffents in the 4.6 and 4.2. I traded in a 4.2 V-6 on this one and it got 17 mpg and better around town. Were the 4.6 V-8 get 15 to 16.
2004 Ford F-150 - XLT 4x4 Super Cab Styleside Styleside 6.5' Box
Pros: Power and room

Advice: Take a test drive - but only if you are ready to buyOn my way to buy a Chevrolet. Stopped by the Ford lot at the Super Dealer and saw my future truck. I wanted a 4 X 4 with the shift on the dash and no floor console. This F-150 4 X 4 Super Cab fit the bill. After the test drive I was sure it was for me (love at first sight?)
2004 Ford F-150 - Lariat 4x2 Super Cab Styleside Styleside 6.5' Box
Pros: Too many to name
Cons: None noted

In "My Little Pony Equestria Girls," Twilight Sparkle's crown is stolen from the Crystal Empire, and she must pursue the thief into an alternate world where she transforms into a teenage girl who must survive her biggest challenge yet...high school. With help from her new friends who remind her of Ponyville's Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, she embarks upon a quest to find the crown and change the destiny of these two parallel worlds.
"My Little Pony Equestria Girls" is executive produced by Stephen Davis, Chris Bartelman and Kristen Newlands. It stars the cast of "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic," including Tara Strong ("Twilight Sparkle"), Ashleigh Ball ("Applejack"; "Rainbow Dash"), Andrea Libman ("Fluttershy"; "Pinkie Pie"), Tabitha St. Germain ("Rarity"), and Cathy Weseluck ("Spike").
Leading into the premiere of "My Little Pony Equestria Girls" is the "Hub Network's My Little Pony Fan Favorite Poll" Winner Marathon(10:00 a.m. - noon ET), during which the "fan favorite" pony as voted by viewers will be unveiled. Voting for the "fan favorite" pony among the "mane six" (Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack) kicks off Thursday, July 18 at Comic-Con International: San Diego at the HUB Network booth (#4118). Online voting begins immediately following Comic-Con on Monday, July 22 at Hubworld.com/vote4ponies.

MAM founding works
Before the Calatrava, before the Kahler, before the War Memorial Center, there was the Layton Art Gallery. And without Frederick Layton and the gallery, we wouldn't have the others.

Rated 3.1 out of 5 by 781 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by SPGLIFETIMEGOLD Worst Starwood Hotel Experience I have spend a total of 374 nights at Starwood hotels and your property in London was terrible. The room had an incredibly noisey portable AC unit that made horrible rattling noise all night. I even checked out early wasting my "Free 5th night" just to get out of there. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sausage A Grant Very Good location. Good service. A little bit tired decor. Easy access to transportation and sights. Not many choices for restaurants that are walkable distance though. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wilywilson Weekend visit Friday night was fine, but Saturday night function was noisy, bass vibrations kept us awake until 12.45 June 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by KDUN47 DISAPPOINTING I stayed at the Sheraton Park Lane and booked their "RomaticPackage" expecting to see champagne and fruit upon arrival. I had to remind the check in staff I had the romance package. This did not occur and as we had to make a swift dash to the theatre we left shortly after check in. Our luggage had not arrived in the room after 20 minutes so we had to leave for the theatre without changing into our evening clothes.The manager kindly refunded the charge for the romance package. The room was comfortable and over looked the park. I have stayed in a few Sheraton hotels and never not had a kettle and tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Residents have to phone down to obtain these and so having come back late from the theatre did not know this. so no cup of tea in the morning. After our theatre trip we came back to the bar in the palm court for a drink and snack. we ordered a sandwich after 15 minutes of waiting and then when it arrived it had meat in it and my husband is vegetarian. my sandwich had no butter or dressing in it as ordered! The staff seemed unhappy and not wanting to serve at 11pm at night. It was the impression they gave off. Have to say the bed was great and had a good nights sleep. Went down for breakfast and ordered a medium poached egg and it came back hard !. The manager of the restaurant was talking when we arrived and there were 5 staff on duty but no one came over to seat us within 5 minutes. A young waiter came over and finally sat us down and only then did the manager come over and took over from him. I was not impressed with the breakfast. Choice is good but quality of cooking and service was poor. Cooking a poached egg is a basic and if you cant get that right the rating is incorrect. Having been disappointed with the food quality in both the sandwiches and breakfast we decided to cut our losses and cancel our afternoon tea in the palm court and go to Harrods and do it our self at home. Sadly disappointing when I had looked forward to a romantic rest when I had only positive impressions of Sheraton previously. June 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linden176 This hotel is ideal for Central London This Hotel is in the Heart of London and offers excellent accommodation and comfort June 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by MS589 Historic hotel badly in need of refurbishment We were severely disappointed with the size and condition of the room we were given at The Park Lane. Let me preface this review by saying we prefer to stay at historic properties which may have endured a bit of "faded grandeur", as we feel it only adds to the experience of staying in a property with real history. We travel regularly to Europe, so are accustomed to the smaller size of hotel rooms, but the room we were given was clearly a single, with a queen size bed added. The bed was pushed up against the wall on the left hand side, forcing the second occupant to crawl in from the bottom. The left side of the bed lacked any type of reading light or bedside table. The room was so small as to force one of us to retreat to the bed when the ironing board was deployed. We had 4 pieces of luggage with us, including 3 which were carry on size, and still found it difficult to maneuver around the room. The carpet was worn and discolored. The bathroom was a total disaster, with cracked and stained tile throughout. The area behind the toilet was simply disgusting. The bathtub was discolored, with missing and cracked tiles on the baseboard of the tub. Had we intended to stay longer than 18 hours, I would have requested another room, but because this was such a short stay, we chose not to make a fuss. I will offer these points of praise: the mattress was comfortable, the concierge most helpful, and the staff seemed eager to help us. Having been loyal Starwood members for years, and having previously been a travel consultant, I expect a certain standard at hotels bearing the Starwood brand. For such a renowned and historic hotel, it is a shame that it has been allowed to fall in to such disrepair. June 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hope1958 Amazing location..... You simply cannot beat this hotel for location, a must for anyone wishing to visit Buckingham Palace which is just minutes away. Friendly courteous staff and on site Italian Restaurant very good. Afternoon Tea in the Palm Court Restaurant was outstanding, along with resident harpist made the afternoon complete. June 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by CLC2013 Puts SPG to disgrace As an SPG member I have never been so disappointed with a hotel. The staffs customer service was below average, rude and did not care about the customer or being an SPG member. They had no knowledge of events in London at the time. The food was average and so was the wait staff. The staff in Citrus were rude and took forever to acknowledge customers. It was like they had to finish there duties first before serving a customer. The reception staff were arrogant excepts one gentlemen. Embarrassing that I had a friend who works in tourism checking out the hotel to and would not recommend this for Famils either. The name Park Lane should be removed to Budget Lane. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Meier2014 History and charm The hotel was a bit dated but still had the charm of being there back in it's day of glamour. We were fortunate enough to had a room that looked out towards the Embassy and the park. The windows are double pained so you can't hear the traffic. Bathrooms were nice but be careful on the slick marble floors and the booday (why they have these, I can't imagine). Overall a great location and a positive experience. June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gigi7 more than what I expected I read some reviews that were not so good but my experience was very satisfactory. I emailed the manager myself and told him I have asthma and what we needed and they gave us an upgraded room for SPG gold member that was beyond what I expected. Very nice, big, clean and have a sofa too. Thanks Kieran for making sure we got the room we needed. All the staff were friendly and met all our needs. The location is excellent. I will for sure use this hotel again if I return to London. June 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kdp2012 Disappointed There is nothing special about this hotel. The hotel's reception is oddly placed off the entrance from a small street in the rear instead of the main thoroughfare (Piccadilly). Our room was clean (except for stained carpet) and adequate but lack of view made it seem dark and dreary even though the sun was shining. The location is great with proximity to central London sites. Stay here for location but don't expect much from the level of accommodations. June 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by AHJH Complete Rennovations Needed The proximity of this hotel and the room size were the only good features at this hotel. Our room had a cracked tub, stained carpets, paint peeling off the walls, and doors that were off alignment. It is strange that the reception said they "upgraded" our room, when it is clear that this room is badly in need of repair and total rennovation and should never be assigned to any guests. It was certainly not worth the 12,000 starpoints we used or the upwards of $700 per night paid for by our friends. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by chrissyTodd My best stay in a London Hotel to date. Upon arrival at the hotel I knew immediately that we would be well looked after. My mother and I were in London for one night and arrived considerably earlier than the check in time. We were checked in by reception staff straight away and our luggage stored so we could carry on with our plans for the day. The room was superb - huge, comfy bed, air con, and upon request tea/coffee facilities and a gorgeous basket of cakes, cookies and macaroons. The palm court was a haven of peace and tranquillity and the concierge bent over backwards to secure us theatre tickets for the evening, even providing exact directions for our journey for the evening. I cannot find fault in this hotel. June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WM1000 Great Location Great location, very good sized room and friendly staff. June 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Londoncalling Not Sheraton Standard This property is not well maintained and the staff is not very well trained. Starwood Platinum membership does not seem to be considered for the simplest requests on the reservation such as a non smoking room. This is a two star hotel at most. June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DXWalker Excellent stay for family vacation My wife, kids, and I stayed at the Sheraton Park Lane for a vacation in London, June 5-10, 2014. We primarily chose this hotel because of the ability to use SPG points to book rooms and the hotel's proximity to attractions. We could not have made a better choice of hotel. Arrival and Staff: The staff was very friendly when we arrived. They immediately grabbed our bags from the cab and ushered us to the check-in. Check-in person was extremely friendly. We had to book two rooms because of the size of our family. The check-in person not only got us adjoining rooms (which made the space a nice-sized suite) but also made a number of suggestions to best use the value we get as SPG members across both rooms. Also, though I did not speak with him again during the 5 nights we were there, he remembered my vividly at checkout and we had a nice conversation. Rooms: The adjoining rooms were fabulous. They were fairly spacious compared to what we expected in England. And, it was a nice suite because they were adjoining. The rooms were somewhat dated, as has been mentioned in other reviews, but not such that they were undesirable. In fact, they were very comfortable.The bathrooms were nice sized and had marble appointments. Both bathrooms had a separate shower and bath, and one bathroom had a bidet. They both had a heated towel rack, but only one was working. The closet in one room was cedar which was a nice surprise. The view from one room was overlooking Green Park. The beds were very comfortable and what we expect from Sheraton. Location: the hotel is located across from Green Park in the Piccadilly section of town. It is a short 4-5 block walk to the Green Park Underground station, which is connected to the Jubilee, Victoria, and Piccadilly lines. The Jubilee line gets you directly to most attractions and we were generally no more than 1-3 stops away from 80% of the attractions we visited. We took the Piccadilly line directly to Heathrow Airport when we left. Perfect. Also we were in walking distance to Buckingham Palace, Hard Rock Cafe (which I visit in every city I visit), as well as a few reasonably priced restaurants (Pret and Henry's Bar) and a Marks and Spencer grocery store. All in all, we were very satisfied with the stay at Sheraton Park Lane. I would stay there again, and recommend others do the same. June 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by dobbin had a better stay this time The previous occasion I stayed at the hotel I commented on the fact that I thought the hotel was getting dingy and needed a face lift. The room I had this time was a lot better. It was bright and airy probably because it was highr up than the floors I normally seem to stay on. Please can you put me on the 6th floor or above from now on? June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Willsdp63 Visit to London This was one of the best SPG hotels I have ever stayed in and look forward to returning again soon. Excellent staff, excellent facilities and they treat their guests with the utmost respect. The facilities are stunnigly beautiful. Afternoon tea is a must. Close to Harvey Nichols and the best shopping London has to offerI stay in hotels all over the world but the service here you will find hard to beat - they are wonderful! Thank you so much! June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JWUK Great hotel team, charming rooms, 5* breakfast experience The hotel is great; perfect location, very helpful and kind hotel team, super efficient breakfast and most of all great value. A good example; I wanted a caffeine free tea for my sister, the helpful girl in the Palm room came back within seconds with 3 options for me, and a bucket of ice that i'd asked for. The Breakfast team were also very efficient, and looked after us in 5-star style. The rooms are charming, sure they are not super modern and slick, but that's the point - it's a genuine building and part of London's history - it will never be a vegas style modern room and nor should it should be! The rooms are very comfortable, beds amazing, nice a quiet. Plenty of room and not crammed as many central London hotels are. I would strongly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a London experience. June 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Stevieb23 Very Disappointed I have stayed at this hotel twice before and had great experiences. This time I booked myself here for 3 nights, booked rooms for 4 other colleagues, and booked a meeting room in the hotel. The meeting room was great. The hotel room.... First off let me say that I have stayed over 400 nights in Starwood hotels and I have never asked to change rooms before. I get amazing treatment and great rooms as a perk of being a platinum member. Not here. Not this time. The first room I checked into was on the 3rd floor with a view of a brick wall 6 feet from the window. It smelled like mildew. They moved me to a tiny room on the second floor that hasn't seen a renovation since the Churchill era. There is something in the air in the room that is making me constantly cough and sneeze.I do not have allergies, so that is alarming. I have had a horrible sleep They tell me they are fully booked and can't do anything for me but send up a guy with an air freshener spray. As a platinum guest, I should have got a better room to start with. As a hotel guest, I should have got more help than that. On top of that, they have managed to alter my SPG profile with someone else's name now attached to it. I will not be coming back, I will not be recommending this hotel. I travel the world with Starwood hotels, and until today, I have never been disappointed. And that is too bad, because my first two stays here were great. June 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dspencer Public space wi-fi does not extend to the gym Very annoying... the public wi-fi works right up until the door to the gym, but not when you cross over into the gym! Easy fix. Please do it! June 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Cyrus49 Great location but very disappointing stay Great location and condition of the hotel was fine but three very disappointing aspects of Sheraton Park Lane London - poor front of house staff (doormen watched my wife put bags down to open her own front door), restaurant food quality worst quality of any SPG property and wifi consistently disconnecting. Unique layout and odd elevator behavior are part of the charm of a historic building but the issues with our stay are human issues that can / should be fixed. May 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Blaise Park Lane Hotel London Very good experience. Location is excellent. Internet free in guest rooms would be a welcome addition. Citrus restaurant is a real plus. May 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tony45 Very nice hotel with great service The rooms were somewhat dated but very nice and clean. I like a firm pillow but the ones supplied were too soft. No I did not ask for firmer pillows. The front desk people and the concierge were very helpful with any request. I was told they are remodeling in September. The sitting room was just wonderful and relaxing with harp music in the afternoon. May 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Matt519293 A perfect spot in London... I recently spent a week @ The Park Lane Hotel in London on leisure. I was traveling with my spouse and another couple. We found the property to be delightful in almost every way. The service was outstanding in all areas. We found the front desk to be fantastic and the concierge outstanding. This IS a historic property and it IS in need of some renovation but it did not detract from our stay. We had some issues with temperature control when we checked in but it was repaired immediately. The lifts experienced problems throughout our stay but were repaired, etc. The rooms were very generous in size for a major European city. Although the rooms are a bit dated it truly didn't bother us or impact our stay in any way. I can't imagine how beautiful this property would be with a full-scale renovation. The location is absolute perfection. We enjoyed runs in the park directly across the street and an extremely easy commute to any shopping/dining on and around Piccadilly and easy access by foot to Soho and the West End Theatres. There is also a delightful little area located just steps from the hotel behind the property with proper pubs and dining. In all - a delightful experience and one worth repeating. Special thank you to Roman Husock for making the stay a stand out. May 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JonSmith Avoid this hotel I was excited for this stay for one main reason. I had just achieved Gold status and was looking forward to the perks. Unfortunately it was all downhill from there. For context, I was staying for a full week, and chose this hotel over lesser priced hotels in the area because of the typically good experiences I have at Starwood hotels. I can say that this was easily the most disappointing stay I've ever had with Starwood, and if this happens more often... well there are other hotel chain loyalty programs out there. The number one problem with the hotel: The staff overall could care less about you. For the issues described below, the response was typically something in the line of 'there's nothing we're going to do about it." So of course since issues were not being addressed, I had to continually bring them up resulting in the same conclusion. With exception of one of the engineers and a nice blond guy at the front desk, no one else made me feel like a welcome guest, especially one who was spending 2000 pounds for a week's stay. One other quick example: On my second day which was a Sunday, I was still feeling jet lag. So I took a nap at 3 in the afternoon. My "Privacy Please" sign was hanging on the outside of my door, but sure enough I got a knock with "Housekeeping" spoken on the other side of the door. They were beginning to open the door when I got out of bed and opened it fully. I looked at the woman and man who were there, looked at the "Privacy Please" sign on the door, and then pointed to it. I asked why they are knocking on my door. The woman replied that it was hotel policy. Not even an apology. I went down to the front desk to complain about this, and the front desk repeated that it was hotel policy. I don't understand the point of the sign then. Horrible experience. The number two problem with the hotel: The air conditioning didn't work in my first room, and was a hair better in the second room (I had asked to switch and was the one request they did fulfill). In both room, the air conditioning panel has two knobs, but the wording above the knobs was faded, so I had no idea whether I was making things hotter or colder. The front desk was no help when I called down to ask how it worked. It was hot weather during my stay, and the AC should be something that works at these prices. I would never stay here again, and I would dissuade others from staying here, and coincidentally when I was telling a friend about the experience, he said he stayed at this hotel during a business trip as well and had the same bad experience. You can definitely find better! To the hotel: If you have someone staying for a week at a time, assume they are there for work and that there is high probability that they will be returning to the city in the future for other business trips and want to find a single hotel that takes care of them. If not, you lose a good persistent revenue opportunity. Case in point. May 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jones71 Bathroom The bathroom in room 417 wasn't big enough to swing a cat. Anybody slightly overweight would have massive difficulties to get the plug into the plughole as the toilet was situated so closely beside the bath. We would compare this hotel to an "old well worn" hotel in Torquay, not a major hotel in a Capital city. We expected better for the price paid. May 23, 2014

Hi, great theme!
Question is, I can not work next page function in portfolio page. When I click to page 2 link and then it said 404 page not found error. Can you help me what is the problem?
Please make sure that "Blog pages show at most" option from Settings -> Reading is not higher than the posts per page you have for your portfolio.
By default, "Blog pages show at most" is set to 10 so if you create a portfolio with 4 entries per page, then you will get the 404 page.
It's an old wordpress bug and unfortunately we haven't found a way to fix it from happening the themes.
First of al really nice theme! Is there any way of getting the blog page as static homepage?
I am afraid this is not possible, since all blog and portfolio sections are categories and wordpress doesn't have an option to set a category listing as homepage unfortunately.
The only ways are to either create a blog page template(it requires some programming to implement it) and then set it as homepage or to use the latest posts shortcodes in your homepage content to list the last x blog entries(and also disable the slider inclusion for homepage). This second solution is rather simple but it's a big limitation here: the latest posts shortcode is not capable of displaying the blog pagination.
I keep getting a error for this theme. Its saying its missing a style sheet.
Please have a look at this installation guide:http://wiki.envato.com/buying/support-buying/solving-broken-theme-issues/
This is the error I keep getting.
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
Please have a look at this installation guide:http://wiki.envato.com/buying/support-buying/solving-broken-theme-issues/
I'm from France, so sorry if my english is bad. Thanks for this wonderful theme, i love it BUT i have 2 problems with it :
- How can you change the text "HOME" in the Breadcrumbs ?
- Can you change the name of the link "portfolio_1" by something else like by "realisations" in my case ?
Thanks in advance
1) To change the "HOME" text go to lib/addons/, open gw-breadcrumbs.php and edit the "home" text from this line of code:
_e('Home', 'framework');
2) Please try this solution – http://www.goldenworks.eu/support/topic/renaming-the-portfolio-slugs?message=support-forums-topic-status-updated
Also, please head to our support forum whether you have more questions / issues.
Hi, how do i specify the homepage to be full width and keep the slider on the homepage only, if i select my home page to be homepage the content don't fit across correctly, if i select full width it works im using the default homepage like in demo
In Appearance -> Options -> General tab make sure that the option "Do you wish to have sidebar on homepage ?" is set to "No", which is the default setting.
If you have more questions / issues, please head to our forums – http://www.goldenworks.eu/support/
The theme keeps adding random p tags in my pages. I have already disabled the wpautop in the default-filters.php. Any advise?
The theme doesn't add p tags in pages. Wordpress by default does this. We have offered you the fix in the forums.
Hi guys, I know you have said so many times about the 404 Page Not Found Error on the Portfolio Page and I have followed everything. I don't even need a blog in this site. in Settings>Reading (for the blog settings) what should front page equal? Posts page=? Blog Pages show at most = ? Syndication feeds… = ? Using Portfolio 2 (I have 4 paintings in a category) Front page = ? Posts page = ? Blog pages shows at most= ? Syndication feeds … = ? Sorry for all the questions but I have spent nearly a week trying to do this and I am now desperate and frustrated.
It's explained very well in the documentation about this setting and you will also find a basic example there. It has no relevance whether or not you are using a blog.
However there's a possibility that you will still have this issue even if you set the "blog posts show at most x posts" correctly, for reasons I haven't found so far.
The best thing to do is to send us an email via our contact form from our profile with a link to your site, backend access(user / pass) and also please specify how many pages would you want to your portfolio(and what type of portfolio you are using). We will have a closer look and try to find a solution.
may ? change this theme's language to turkish?
Yes this can be done. The theme is fully localized for easy translation in any language. Also in the theme documentation we have included a chapter – "Theme translation / localization" that explains how to do this.
Hi, great theme but for me the skinning doesn't work? I used the xml to pull everything in and played around with the skinning options but still nothing. At present I have it set to default, can you work out why the colours i choose don't appear in the css?http://www.sherlockbones.co.uk/wordpressdev2/
Thank you for your help!
You haven't installed you theme properly. Please follow the instructions we provided on our forums:http://www.goldenworks.eu/support/topic/content-boxes-not-showing
Also, for more support requests or other issues you may encounter with the theme, please head to our support forums.
thanks, no idea what happened but i did a full wipe and it worked 3rd time round
The theme does not show accents correctly. How can I solve the problem of the é è â ã etc …
Sorry my bad english
I think you are referring to the fact that these characters don't work only in header titles. This happens because the font used in this theme, league gothic doesn't have these glyphs. The only fix is to remove the font inclusion – open style.css from theme's root and delete this code:
@font-face { font-family: 'LeagueGothicRegular'; src: url('lib/fonts/League_Gothic-webfont.eot'); src: url('lib/fonts/League_Gothic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('lib/fonts/League_Gothic-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('lib/fonts/League_Gothic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('lib/fonts/League_Gothic-webfont.svg#LeagueGothicRegular') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; }
Also, in the same file you might want to make a search in the same file after "LeagueGothicRegular" and delete it anywhere it shows up in the font-family declaration.
Ok great theme thanks its awesome but i have been working about 2 days now someonehow the "honey cumb" looking things i want on my site but i have no clue how to get it on here. here is my site http://www.northloopchristianacademy.com/ please help getting really fustrated im pretty new to wordpress i used other wesite making site so please hep
Please consult the theme documentation about how to setup the portfolio type 1. It's quite easy and straightforward and in the same way the blog and the other portfolios are created.
Also for more questions please head to our forums – http://www.goldenworks.eu/support/
I'm trying to insert any of the portifolios in my homepage using shortcodes but all of them are not displaying correct, images got out of place, and in portifolio 1 things are bigger than in the demo example. Is there a way to display it correctly?
I wonder what I did wrong.
For support please head to our forums – http://www.goldenworks.eu/support/ and also provide a link to your website so we can see what is wrong with your setup.
Hi, sorry for my bad english, I have a problem with the theme after I installed appears that Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_pagenavi() in /home/cordws/public_html/wp-content/themes/avantgarde/avantgarde/lib/addons/wp-pagenavi.php on line 31
How can I fix that?
The theme comes with wp-pagenavi plugin integrated. Your error is caused by the fact that you already have wp-pagenavi plugin activated in your plugins section. Please disable / remove the plugin from your server and the theme should work fine.
Hello. I am having a issue with posting the shortcodes. Can you explain how I can get them to work?
There isn't too much to explain about using shortcodes. You just paste the shortcode model from the documentation inside your wordpress editor and adapt it with your real content.
Could you please head to our support forums – http://goldenworks.eu/support/ and tell us in more detail what shortcodes don't work ? Also, please provide a link to your site too so we can have a look.
I dont understand how to apply the icons like in the original theme.
Hi Starshade, I am building the site here: http://www.tlachallenge.com/tla/
Curretly I am experiencing a few issues.
1.) Why am I getting the comments form on the home page?
2.) Why isn't my shortcode working under "Clients that make us proud"
3.) Where is there documentation on how to get the portfolio posts on the home page in those funky honey comb boxes? I am assuming this has to be shortcode pasted in the home page content editor?
1) When you create your home page, make sure you uncheck the "Allow comments" checkbox from the discussion box under your page editor.
2) The "Clients that make us proud" section doesn't support shortcodes, just html code, like the one that generates the clients logo. If you wish to use shortcodes, you should paste those only in your page content editor.
3) Yes, in the shortcodes section, see the [latest_port1] shortcode – this will pull the latest x posts from your portfolio type 1(honey comb boxes).
Also, for more questions / issues, please head to our support forum:http://goldenworks.eu/support/
Hi again, thanks for your previous reply. I have another question which I haven't been able to answer through the forum.
I have set my tips and advice page to the full width template and then places the portfolio 2 shortcode in it. http://www.tlachallenge.com/tla/tips-advice/. Firstly, the grid doesn't go three across, only two. Secondly, I have created categories and placed three portfolio 2 posts in various categories, however, the filter by function like you have on your theme template doesn't appear. Is there somewhere where I activate this?
The portfolio filter works only in the portfolio categories pages, not by using latest posts shortcodes. Also you have an older version of the theme where a template with 3 portfolio entries in a row didn't exist(except for portfolio type 1).
Please update the theme to the latest version(a portfolio 3 will appear in the menu that you should use – the portfolio will look exactly like this – http://goldenworks.eu/demos/av_wordpress/portfolio3_categories/our-works-3/ and I suppose this is what you will be needing). One more note here, in Appearance -> Theme Options, Portfolio tab, there is option to enable / disable the portfolio filtering for type 2 (and type 3 in newer versions) and this setting is activated by default.
Also please follow closely the theme documentation when setting up the portfolios(most importantly, see the category hierarchy).
If you the issues persist with setting up the portfolios, please drop us and email with user / pass to your site(via our contact form from our profile – http://themeforest.net/user/starshade) so we can have a look and correct your settings.
And please make to head to our forums(http://www.goldenworks.eu/support/) and post your issues there since we are not offering support in the comments section of the theme.
This is what I am having an issue with. I am trying to post the area were the Service shortcode is. The following path is
[service title="service title" desc="text description" icon="absolute_path_to_icon"]
How do I define the path to "absolute_path_to_icon"?
I got it now, but now I dont understand how to stack them side by side like on the example website. I dont understand [intone_half] / [intone_half_last]
Everything you need to know it's in the documentation…
Interior one half short shortcodes are used like this:
[intone_half] content [/intone_half] [intone_half_last] content [/intone_half_last]Also, like I stated before, please stop posting support requests here and head to our forums. We stopped a long time ago offering support in the comments section of our themes.
How do I get the subhead to appear under each nav entry? In the demo theme, under "Home" is "get started" and under "Elements" is "theme features". I would like to add the same to my site.
Regards, jhsizemore
It's explained step by step in the documentation, please consult the menu setup section to learn how to activate your description textarea for menu items.

States should explore carbon pricing to encourage clean power
|C2ES President Bob Perciasepe moderates a Solutions Forum panel with (l to r): Martha Rudolph, Director of Environmental Programs, Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment; David Paylor, Director, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality; and Janet Coit, Director, Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.
States will have tremendous flexibility to choose how to reduce their carbon emissions under the Clean Power Plan, and one idea they should explore is putting a price on carbon.
The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) recently brought together legal and economic experts, state environmental directors, and business leaders to explore the potential to use market mechanisms to reduce these damaging emissions efficiently and cost-effectively.
Here are three key insights from this Solutions Forum:
States can learn from each other on carbon pricing
As discussed at our C2ES Solutions Forum on Carbon Pricing & Clean Power, both power companies and states see advantages to using carbon pricing, such as a cap-and-trade program, to reduce carbon emissions under the Clean Power Plan.
For companies, rather than being forced into specific measures to cut emissions, a carbon price harnesses market innovation to find the most cost-effective solutions. Meanwhile, states can draw on the experiences of existing cap-and-trade programs in California and the nine-state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
While the advantages of market-based approaches are widely acknowledged, some stakeholders are concerned that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) timeline would make it challenging to develop a cap-and-trade program. EPA proposes giving states until summer 2016 to submit a plan. States could apply for a one-year extension or, if submitting a plan as part of a multistate collaboration, a two-year extension.
How culture shapes the climate change debate
I have an in-law who is, shall we say, rather skeptical about climate change. Any discussion on the topic usually begins with some contrarian science theory that he heard on one of his favorite talk shows (e.g. sun spots, deep ocean magma, urban heat islands), and then devolves from there.
Why do some Americans believe the antithesis of the scientific consensus on issues like climate change?
This topic is explored by Professor Andy Hoffman of the University of Michigan in his new book, How Culture Shapes the Climate Change Debate. As suggested by the title, Hoffman's thesis – a distillation of considerable research from social scientists over the past several years – is that the public's understanding of climate change, like other historically contentious issues such as evolution, acid rain, the ozone hole, and genetically modified food – is as much a cultural issue as a scientific one.
One of the key arguments is that a scientific consensus does not necessarily reflect a "social consensus," the latter being something that the majority of society would consider to be true. For instance, the scientific consensus that cigarettes harm human health emerged decades before the social consensus emerged.
World economy grew, but carbon emissions didn't
In a sign that low-carbon policies may finally be gaining traction, global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions leveled off last year even while the world economy grew.
Preliminary data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicate that energy-related CO2 emissions (from burning fossil fuels for electricity, transportation, industry, space heating and so on) remained unchanged from the previous year at 32.3 billion metric tons. Meanwhile, economic growth increased 3.3 percent.
One year's data doesn't necessarily translate into a trend. Even with much stronger efforts, it will be some time before we can truly announce that we have turned the corner on reducing carbon dioxide emissions. But 2014 is notable in that it's the first time since the IEA was established in the early 1970s that a levelling off or a drop in global carbon emissions didn't accompany an economic downtown.
Historically, energy-related CO2 emissions have moved in lockstep with economic growth. They're being decoupled due to policy changes and market forces affecting two factors – energy intensity and fuel mix – both in China and in the developed economies.
US climate target encourages others to put best foot forward
I recently wrote a piece for China Dialogue about the US announcement of its intended contribution to a new international climate agreement due this December in Paris. Here is that article:
The US pushed strongly for getting climate targets on the table well ahead of this year's Paris negotiation, arguing that exposing countries' offerings to a bit of scrutiny would encourage them to "put their best foot forward." With the formal submission of its intended target, the Obama administration arguably has done just that.
The US contribution is, for the moment, only a declaration of intent. But by coming out early with the strongest target it believes it can muster, the White House has charted an ambitious course at home. And it is upping the pressure on China and other major economies to do the most that they can too.
The end result, hopefully, is a new agreement in Paris that not only pulls all these numbers together, but also holds countries accountable for their promises, and commits them to keep returning to the table in the years ahead to assess and strengthen their efforts.
