Hi all,
Would it be possible to split a long list into multiple horizontal columns?
For example, every 50 categories, a new list is created on the right (keeping the alphabetical order)
Thanks for your help!
Hi all, Is it possible to replace ► sign with +? My users does not find it obvious that ► is for expanding.
There are 3 system messages that MediaWiki administrators can change to get the behavior you desire:

Hi all, I used to offer a CategoryTree in my MediaWiki sidebar with MW 1.20.4. Everything worked well, but since my update to MW 1.24.1 all appropriate releases of CategoryTree stopped working in the sidebar. This includes the REL1_24 version but also the development master version. The problem is, that the expandable symbols are not shown at all and no click handle is registered. Interestingly CategoryTree works perfect as part of a WikiPage in parallel to not work at all in the sidebar.
I figured out that the way how the ext.CategoryTree.js works is that it uses a mw.hook to access the WikiPage content and to make CategoryTree working there. But obviously the sidebar is not part of the content which is access by this approach. I tested it by just removing the whole content in the ext.CategoryTree.js and literally just the inner section of my page disappeared but the sidebar was still there together with some other navigation content. So I am looking for a fix to have ext.CategroyTree.js to access the whole content including the sidebar.
I am no MediaWiki nor js nor php specialist, but after looking into the vector skin, I figured out how the skin accesses the whole content. I decided to give this appraoch a try, so I modified the beginning of ext.CategoryTree.js (which is located in extensions/CategoryTree/modules by the way) to make it look like this:
//( function ( $, mw ) { // // mw.hook( 'wikipage.content' ).add( function ( $content ) { jQuery( function ( $ ) { /** * Sets display inline to tree toggle */ function showToggles() {
and the end of ext.CategoryTree.js to look like this;
// Register click events and show toggle buttons $( '.CategoryTreeToggle' ).click( handleNode ); showToggles(); } ); //}( jQuery, mediaWiki ) );
From my understanding this gives the ext.CategoryTree.js access to the whole page content. So good news is, that everything works well after this modification, CategoryTree in the sidebar works like expected.
So now I have a question to all MediaWiki specialists: is this a valid approach to solve the problem? Or does it cause tremendous load to the system or break system concepts?
I think a crucial change is missing from the js code you posted, something like:
jQuery( function ( $ ) { var $fullcontent = $(this);
And later, access fullcontent instead of content, e.g.
function showToggles() { $fullcontent.find( 'span.CategoryTreeToggle' ).css( 'display', 'inline' ); }
Anyway, the hints about the sidebar not being part of the content and looking at vector.js for reference were very helpful to me, and I can now show a category tree anywhere in the skin. Thanks!
As for your question: Don't know. I haven't noticed any problems.
Also, sorry about editing the subject of your post. Initially, I couldn't respond because of this:
This page can only be edited by users with the autoconfirmed right because it matches the following title blacklist entry: .*Make.*cat.* autoconfirmed
By now, my account is confirmed. Changing the subject hadn't helped either.
you are absolutely right, for some weird reason I missed to add two really important changes...
Generally speaking, you want to replace any use of the term $content.find by a single $, which refers to the whole DOM from my understanding. This needs to happen two time in the ext.categoryTree.js:
function showToggles() { $content.find( 'span.CategoryTreeToggle' ).css( 'display', 'inline' ); }
needs to be modified to look like this:
function showToggles() { $( 'span.CategoryTreeToggle' ).css( 'display', 'inline' ); }
// Register click events and show toggle buttons $content.find( '.CategoryTreeToggle' ).click( handleNode ); showToggles();
needs to be modified to look like this:
// Register click events and show toggle buttons $( '.CategoryTreeToggle' ).click( handleNode ); showToggles();
So there is absolutely no need to search or build another $content var, obviously you can work on the whole DOM like the skin sample does.
PS: There is absolutely no need to excuse for making my post usable to you and others by doing whatever is required...

Hi all! I'm designing a skin, and I want to include a category tree in the footer. I'm trying to figure out the code necessary to output it, by I've been failing for hours. The problem is always the same: the tag gets parsed, but the ext.CategoryTree.js is not loaded, so the JavaScript is never run and the tree doesn't work. Below are some of my attempts, but none worked. They were all within the skin template class, which extends BaseTemplate. Thanks!
echo efCategoryTreeParserHook( 'Some category', array( 'mode' => 'all' ) );
$parser = new Parser();
echo efCategoryTreeParserHook( 'Some category', array( 'mode' => 'all' ), $parser );
$title = $this->getTitle();
$parser = new Parser();
$parserOptions = new ParserOptions();
$parserOutput = $parser->parse( '<CategoryTree mode=all>Some category</CategoryTree>', $title, $parserOptions );
echo $parserOutput->getText();

I'm trying to do the same thing as Luis, unfortunately, with the same results. Actually, showing a tree in the regular sidebar would be good enough for me, but setting SidebarRoot and ForceHeaders has no visible effect, nor does adding "** categorytree-portlet" to MediaWiki:Sidebar.
Invoking the parser explicitly from the skin, using the third method above, produces a non-interactive tree, matching the description under no effect/error/sits on loading.
Any ideas? A quick hack would suffice ... Some more info below, but it's perhaps not that helpful -- I'm not a web developer, and still don't know much about MW. My version is 1.24 by the way. Cheers, David
Update: The solution that Bhuber outlined here is the quick fix I was hoping for. That in combination with the explicit call to Parser::parse.
Inside an article, the tree works flawlessly. When inspecting the source code of the generated webpage, I see no difference between the (working) tree inside the article and the tree in the sidebar. The showToggles() JavaScript function is even called in both cases; that function is supposed to make the expand/collapse arrows visible. However, after calling "css('display', 'inline')", the value of 'display' remains 'undefined' in the case of the sidebar tree. If I make the arrows visible by setting $linkattr['style'] = 'display: inline;' in CategoryTreeFunctions.php, clicking them has no effect; handleNode isn't called.
My custom skin is not derived from Monobook or Vector; switching to either of those makes no visible difference though.
Is there any option to sort articles' names in such order as below?
I have now:
xxx 1 yy
xxx 10 yy
xxx 11 yy
xxx 2 yy
xxx 20 yy
xxx 3 yy
And I want this:
xxx 1 yy
xxx 2 yy
xxx 3 yy
xxx 10 yy
xxx 11 yy
xxx 20 yy
Have you looked at these help files...
- Help:Categories#Sort_key and...
- Help:Sorting...?
Yes, but I don't know how to use these tips. I tried do sth like this:
but it doesn't really works - nothing has changed. ("Levels" is my category with articles)
I'm not a programmer, but when you add your articles to your "Levels" category you do it by adding something like this...
... to your article page.
If your article needs to be at the top of the sort list, e.g. for 'xxx 1 yy' do this
The '1' after the pipe character '|' is a 'sort key' which will bring the article with that key to the top of the sort.
For the rest of the articles in your example, just make the sort key equal to the number of the article, like this
For article 'xxx 10 yy' make the sort key '10' by adding the following to that article's page...
For article 'xxx 11 yy' add this...
for 'xxx 2 yy' add this...
for 'xxx 20 yy' add this...
for 'xxx 3 yy' add this...
Try that and see how it goes.
CategoryTree broken after updating to 1.21.1 and installing new CategoryTree Snapshot
I had a mediawiki with version 1.20.3 and just updated to 1.21.1. The update was successful and I was able to restore my database and other extensions.
However CategoryTree was not working after installing new mediawiki version 1.21.1. The Category list populates, but you cannot drill down through the category lists. The category arrows/+ do not display AT ALL, it is just a straight list of categories I could not even try to expand them because there is no option available to do so.
SO I downloaded the new snapshot of category tree for version 1.21.
Installed the extension.
Confirmed LocalSettings are configured for CategoryTree as such:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/CategoryTree/CategoryTree.php" );
$wgUseAjax = true;
and to get it in sidebar:
$wgCategoryTreeSidebarRoot = 'Category:article_name';
$wgCategoryTreeForceHeaders = true;
I have even tried following previous guides and modifying my CategoryTreeFunctions.php (ref: [1])
$linkattr['style'] = 'display: none;'; // Unhidden by JS
$linkattr['style'] = 'display: inline !important;'; // Unhidden by JS
and tried changing CategoryTree.php (ref:[2])
function efCategoryTreeParserOutput( $outputPage, $parserOutput ) { if ( !empty( $parserOutput->mCategoryTreeTag ) ) { CategoryTree::setHeaders( $outputPage ); } return true;
function efCategoryTreeParserOutput( $outputPage, $parserOutput ) { CategoryTree::setHeaders( $outputPage ); } return true;
but making those above changes to CategoryTree.php/CategoryTreeFunction.php causes the whole site to goto a Error 500 page, so I have undone the above two changes, but I am still back to the point where I cannot drill down thru the category tree it only shows the top level categories now. I have even tried running update.php again but still does not resolve the issue. I have tried to find other threads regarding this, but I could not find any. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks...
i'm having this same issue. upgrading from 1.19 to 1.23. upgraded mediawiki and database as well as moving from php 5.3 to php 5.6. pulled latest 1.23 code from here.
afinderp were you ever able to resolve this issue? it's pretty sad that no one ever responded to your post.
as I just ran into the same problem on my installation, please check the /var/log/apache2/[yourwikiname]-error.log
It might be that you get some pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable errors. In that case, make sure the permissions for the folders of the extension are set correctly. I was able to overcome my problem by doing a chmod 755 /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/CategoryTree/modules
You can check if that's your problem by issuing the following command: su – www-data -s /bin/bash -c "cd [replacebyyourextensionpath]/CategoryTree/modules; ls -la"
If that returns a "permission denied" on top of the results, then you have the same problem I had
so it turns out my issue was PEBCAK. my upgrade script had an error and i was actually pointing to the old 1.19 CatagoryTree code and not the new. once i fixed that and everything was running the new code it worked fine.
sorry it took me so long to report back.
Is it possible to make Category and Subcategory link with expand functions. And disable link to category page.
There have been a number of requests for this feature to be added to CategoryTree, see here... Thread:Extension talk:CategoryTree/Suggestion: CategoryTree enhancement for touch screens from May 2013 and here... Thread:Extension talk:CategoryTree/Suppress links to categories, only link to pages. from Oct 2013. Perhaps if someone logged a bug with this feature request it might get actioned? I don't understand Mediawiki extension development and enhancement processes.
With MW git master + CategoryTree git master, my category tree shows one level. Clicking on the arrow produces the message: Problem loading data. Please wait a moment and try again
If I turn on debugging, I see the following in the backtrace:
[GlobalTitleFail] MessageCache::parse called by CategoryTreePage::execute/Message::parse/Message::toString/Message::parseText/MessageCache::parse with no title set.
Could be related to this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T25307
There is a bug logged directly relevant to this: T44938 Expanding widgets fails for numerical-only categories with "Problem loading data", no request sent
The problems is still present in MW 1.24.0
If you look at this bug log, a user known as Schnark has noted that there is a problem with some Javascript code that turns numeric categories into 'null' titles. This situation would tie in with your debugging backtrace message.
Of course there could be more to your problem than this.
I got this fixed today. It turns out that HotCat from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js fixed my issue. There must be some caching going on somewhere though as it took a number of hours for my wiki to start working again. Apparently this problem struck Commons around Jan.14th or so. Hence, the updated HotCat.
After installing CategoryTree (Mediawiki 1.23) on my Special pages, I am seeing <categorytree> as a link. Anyone know how to fix this? The extension is working fine other than that.
This means that MediaWiki:Categorytree is missing though this is pretty strange. I have seen this on the Wiki of the Free Software Foundation, too. Probably some other extension you installed does not play with the CategoryTree extension.
I've an issue with some users with restricted (read only) access being unable to expand any node, seeing the tree wherever it is rendered, but getting a load failure, try again later message whatever node they try to expand.
I suspect it is an incompatibility with my own extension Extension:NSWhitelist but haven't been able to figure out what, yet.
I've ruled out browser issues, and a user with full rights can use it fine. Can someone tell me what user rights are needed to expand a node? Must you be able to read a particular namespace?
Have narrowed it down to a read permission issue - whitelistread is not sufficient for this url:
index.php?skin=vector& uselang=en& debug=true& action=ajax& rs=efCategoryTreeAjaxWrapper& rsargs%5B%5D=Customer_Pages& rsargs%5B1%5D%5Bmode%5D=10& rsargs%5B1%5D%5Bhideprefix%5D=20& rsargs%5B1%5D%5Bshowcount%5D=true& rsargs%5B1%5D%5Bnamespaces%5D%5B%5D=12& rsargs%5B1%5D%5Bnamespaces%5D%5B%5D=14& rsargs%5B1%5D%5Bnamespaces%5D%5B%5D=100& rsargs%5B%5D=json
The user has read access to the three indicated namespaces, but without a title there appears to be no way to grant access to this url
ajax dispatcher checks
( !User::isEveryoneAllowed( 'read' ) && !$wgUser->isAllowed( 'read' ) )
and throws an error if this is not the case - this means the TitleReadWhitelist is not checked, as no reference to the title is given.
So, if the user does not have global read access, they can't use categorytree.
hacked the core code to be (bad fix)
( !User::isEveryoneAllowed( 'read' ) && !$wgUser->isAllowed( 'read' ) && !$this->func_name == 'efCategoryTreeAjaxWrapper')
that's a title method - no title in the request.
The problem is that titlereadwhitelist gives permissions on a per-title basis (in this case to user groups) and the ajax request only cares about the user's global permissions. I could use canRead if the request included a title.
Hey there!
I wanted to make a template taking some work from me adding the category tree the category pages. It looks like this:
Sense behind that was to just add the template without having the need to type in the whole category:xy-thing.
Do you have an idea why it doesn´t work?
Thanks and best regards!
I am invoking categorytree with the syntax {{#categorytree:Embryo|mode=pages|showcount|depth=2 etc. When I create a new page and add it to the category Embryo, categorytree will not list the new page. I can close/open the page that invoked categorytree, login again with no effect. If I look directly at the page Category:Embryo the new member page is listed immediately. The only way I can get the {{#categorytree:Embryo etc to update is to resave the page where it occurs. Same behavior if I use the tag syntax.
There must be a better way, I thought this function was dynamic. No obvious warnings of this behavior on the relevant help page or in discussions. Suggestions?
Could a new attribute be implemented that would allow the current page you are on to be not shown in the list? For example, if there are 10 pages in a category and you are on one of them (it's opened), only nine pages would be shown in the list as the page you are on (that is opened) would not be shown. Sometimes it's useless to list the page you are on, if you are already on it.
How to keep CategoryTree stayed opened after clicking any category in sidebar in Vector skin?
When I am going down in one category and subcategories (depth 5-6), after loading the specified category and then hitting the "back" button on the browser , the category tree is folded again. Is there any chance the tree stays opened? Please reply ASAP... How to keep nodes expaneded even after clicking back button in browser.Any code changes to be done in Categorytree extension? It would be great to have the tree expanded to the current page after clicking any article , so that the users can get a quick impression about the location of the current article in the overall context.
Hi, I did a small dev to offer this feature to everybody. Please refer to "CategoryTree in Sidebar stayed opened". Do not hesitate to comment :-)
I can't get it to work. Is it all to just copy the JavaScript to ext.categoryTree.js ?
Hi, in the version of CategoryTree I am using, it is not the file ext.categoryTree.js but the file CategoryTree.js.
Be sure you are using a similar version of CategoryTree else you may need to merge my modifications.
FYI, sometimes it does not work with recent IE due to the default compatibility mode set to a "too old" IE version (the IE "intranet mode" can also introduce such "too old" IE version). Tell me if it solves your issue. Best Regards
Hi, I am porting my patch to Mediawiki 1.22.2 and the related CategoryTree extension. I keep you in touch. Best regards.
I changed the file "CategoryTreeFunctions.php" to the following:
if ( !$hideroot ) {
$html .= $this->renderNode( $title, $depth, $wgCategoryTreeDynamicTag );
} elseif ( $hideroot or !$wgCategoryTreeDynamicTag ) {
$html .= $this->renderChildren( $title, $depth );
} else {
$uniq += 1;
$load = 'ct-' . $uniq . '-' . mt_rand( 1, 100000 );
$html .= Xml::openElement( 'script', array( 'type' => 'text/javascript', 'id' => $load ) );
$html .= 'categoryTreeLoadChildren("' . Xml::escapeJsString( $title->getDBkey() ) . '", '
. $this->getOptionsAsJsStructure( $depth )
. ', document.getElementById("' . $load . '").parentNode);';
$html .= Xml::closeElement( 'script' );
I added "$hideroot or" part. Don't know if this will have unwanted side affects in regular pages, but it does fix the problem of the Categories not displaying when hideroot is set to false.
I have upgraded my wiki to 1.22.6 and downloaded the latest version of CategoryTree, I get this error:
"3d6d0149] 2014-05-16 13:07:35: Fatal exception of type MWException
Notice: Uncommitted DB writes (transaction from DatabaseBase::query (MessageBlobStore::clear)). in /home/wiki_op/website/mediawiki-1.22.6/includes/db/Database.php on line 3944"
Should there be DB updates for this version?
Thanks, Ailsa
Until last year the categorytree-tag was initially expanded when I used wikitext like this:
<categorytree mode=pages showcount="on" >Category:Tag_extensions</categorytree> . (=>
Since January, the tags are displayed collapsed. But I want to show the expanded version.
The new default to collapsed didn't satisfact my needs either. Any workaround available?

I wonder how they will configure the strength in the arm? Will the arm be super-strong, or will they 'tune' it to the person's own strength.
The video doesn't speak to comparative strength, but one remarkable thing is that it uses feedback to tighten the straps when the arm is under load, so it's more comfortable over the long haul, but tightens up as necessary to support when necessary.

Trussardi Inside Man by Trussardi
With Inside Trussardi continue their tradition of excellent packaging and bottle design. Sadly the quality of the juice keeps deteriorating with each release. Inside is basically a Moschino Uomo? ripoff . A bit more synthetic and with much crappier longevity though. The pyramid seems completely wrong compared to the actual scent. Like the Moschino it´s more about cedar, musk and with some toned down fresh lavender. Not a bad scent altogether, but get Uomo? instead, a better , stronger and more balanced execution on the theme.

Villanova head coach Marcus O'Sullivan was named the Mid-Atlantic Region Head Coach of the Year for the outdoor track & field season on Monday afternoon. The announcement of regional awards for student-athletes and coaches was made by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) in advance of the NCAA Championships later this week.
On the final night of competition at the NCAA East Preliminary, a trio of Villanova runners advanced through to the NCAA Championships next month. Senior Rob Denault (Aurora, Ont.) and junior Jordy Williamsz (Melbourne, Australia) each qualified for the national meet in the 1500 meters, while junior Patrick Tiernan (Toowoomba, Australia) advanced in the 5000 meters during competition at Hodges Stadium on Saturday night.
Redshirt freshman Ben Malone (River Vale, N.J.) competed in the quarterfinal heats of the 800 meters at the NCAA East Preliminary and recorded a time of 1:49.28 at Hodges Stadium on Friday night. He was the lone Villanova athlete competing on the second day of competition at the meet. Four athletes remain for the Wildcats and they will run on Saturday night when the meet concludes.
Senior Rob Denault (Aurora, Ont.) and sophomore Josh Lampron (Mansfield, Mass.) won their respective heats in the first round of the 1500 meters and Villanova advanced a total of three athletes to the quarterfinal round during competition at the NCAA East Preliminary on Thursday evening. Junior Jordy Williamsz (Melbourne, Australia) was second to Lampron in the first heat of the 1500 meters and is the third Wildcats qualifier.
Live Results | Heat Sheets | Meet CentralCompetition gets underway at the NCAA East Preliminary on Thursday evening. Villanova has eight men's athletes competing at the meet, which is being held at Hodges Stadium on the University of North Florida campus.
Senior Chris Glennie (Fallsington, Pa.) and sophomore Sean Locke (Horsham, Pa.) each competed for Villanova in the javelin at the IC4A Championship on Sunday afternoon, where the Wildcats wrapped up two days of competition at Weaver Stadium.
Two athletes were in competition for Villanova on the first full day of the IC4A Championship at Weaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Senior Cory Serfoss (Easton, Pa.) and freshman Elliot Slade (Cardiff, United Kingdom) ran in the preliminary heats of the 400 meter hurdles and the 800 meters, respectively.
Complete ResultsThe remarkable run of success that the men's track & field team has been on for the past two years continued in full force on Saturday afternoon, as Villanova wrapped up its second straight outdoor BIG EAST title with a dominant all-around performance at the conference meet. This is the seventh time that the Wildcats have been outdoor BIG EAST champions, and the victory wraps up the program's second straight "Triple Crown" performance. Villanova also won the team titles in cross country and indoor track & field during the 2014-15 academic year to match its achievement from last year.

The two men are meeting this week to carry out a debrief after a difficult season and decide on a summer transfer strategy, although their discussions are far from showdown talks.
Both men have come under fire from disgruntled fans in recent weeks, but in the short term at least, there appears to be no prospect of either going anywhere.
Pardew knows he has challenging questions to answer after a campaign of two halves, but insists the annual get-together is far from confrontational.
He said: "I think it's important he understands some of the problems I have had. We can talk through some things I think need to improve.
"Although he has a reputation of being aggressive, he's a better listener. That's why he has had such great success.
"He doesn't really say much. He listens and comes back to me, sometimes 48 hours after, and draws some conclusions from what I have said.
"It's not like there's too much hollering and shouting, it's more a case for Mike to listen to the problems I have had.
"Then he reflects on the budget and everything else to see how he can help me."
Pardew needs significant help this summer with a replacement for midfielder Yohan Cabaye and a complete rebuild of the striking department the priorities.
Cabaye's departure for Paris St Germain in January and the failure to replace him were the central factors in a second-half collapse, and plugging that gap will be key.
However it is up front where Pardew, chief scout Graham Carr and newly-appointed managing director Lee Charnley face their biggest challenge.
Loic Remy spent last season on loan at St James' Park from QPR and the prospect of securing a permanent deal has receded in recent months.
Luuk de Jong joined him from Borussia Monchengladbach in January on a similar basis and failed to make a significant impression, while long-serving Nigeria international Shola Ameobi is out of contract an unlikely to be handed an extension.
There will be other vacancies too with Dan Gosling approaching the end of his current deal and the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa, Sylvain Marveaux, Gabriel Obertan and Sammy Ameobi having become peripheral figures as the season drew to a close.
The success or otherwise of the mission to plug those gaps could go a long way towards determining whether or not the Magpies can win over supporters, whose patience has worn critically thin after two transfer windows during which not a single permanent signing was made.

Back in the Top 25 for the first time in more than four years, UCLA has exhibited a dangerous offense in the early going with Brett Hundley and Johnathan Franklin running the show. Looking to continue their high-scoring ways, the No. 22 Bruins try to avenge last year's loss to Houston, which tries to avoid opening 0-3 for the first time in 11 seasons Saturday night at the Rose Bowl. After a disappointing four seasons under Rick Neuheisel, UCLA (2-0) appears to be back on the winning track behind coach Jim Mora. The Bruins had little trouble beating Rice 49-24 in their opener before upsetting then-No. 16 Nebraska 36-30 last Saturday. That vaulted UCLA back into the rankings for the first time since early September 2008. "We came up with big plays at the right time," Mora said. "Nebraska is a very good football team ... It's a heck of a win for our program. We have to learn from it. ... We'll enjoy it for 24 hours and then turn our thoughts to Houston." Those are sure to include ...

Discover how to build web sites, prototypes, and more in this course on Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. Author James Williamson shows designers how to take control of their site by properly naming and structuring files and folders; how to create new documents and web pages from scratch or with starter pages; and how to add content such as text, images, tables, and links. James also provides a background on the languages that power projects built in Dreamweaver—HTML and CSS—and introduces the programming features in the application, for developers who want to dig right into the code. The last chapter shows how to finesse your project with interactive content such as CSS3 transitions and Spry widgets.
So, how do you go about giving your styles into an External StyleSheet and then attaching them to the Page? Dreamweaver makes that process pretty seamless and gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility and control over it. You can create CSS file separately and then attach them to your HTML pages or or you can create CSS files as you create rules for your site. As usual, which method you use will largely depend upon your Personal Preferences. Now you may notice something little different about the programs.htm file here and that's that it doesn't have any styles applied to it whatsoever.
So, basically it is style-free for most the part and what I want to do is start attaching some External StyleSheets. I just basically want to go through some of the different ways that you can do that by first creating a couple of Test StyleSheets if you will. So, I'm just going to go up to Dreamweaver File>New>New CSS File. So you can create these separately from your HTML if you want. You can just start working on your CSS and I'm going to go ahead and create that. And just for brevity's sake, I am going to do a very simple rule here. I am just going to do a Paragraphs Selector. Inside the Paragraphs Selector I am just going to set the color something like red.
So I am going to save that. And what I am going to do is I am going to go in to this news 06_08 directory, which is the one we're working in. And I want to go into the _CSS folder and I am just can call this test.CSS and click Save. Now I'll close that, I don't need to have the CSS file open in order to attach it to one of the html files we are working with. All I need to do that is the CSS Styles panel. So, if I go over the CSS Styles panel, I can see down the bottom right hand corner, I've got the little Attach StyleSheet icon. I am going to click on that.
And when I do that I get a chance to Browse out to the file that I am looking for. So I want to Browse out to the 06_08 directory, I am going to go inside the CSS folder and I am going to Find the test that we created earlier. So I am going to go ahead and grab that, click OK and now I'm presented with a few more choices. Now the first choice is whether I want to link this or import this. It is a big difference. Link is going to use a Link Tag in the head of my Document and it's going to point to the External CSS Reference File. Import is actually going to place a Style Tag ahead of my Document and use the @import syntax in order to bring it in.
Really there are some just very specialized usages of the import syntax, so unless there's a reason for you not to, use Link. Now the next thing that allows me to do is choose Media Type. So I can grab that pull-down menu and I could choose any Media Type I want. Now if you have used a previous version of Dreamweaver, you'll probably notice wow there is a lot more in there now than it was before. Well that's because Dreamweaver now supports media query syntax which has a lot more Media options to choose from. I am just going to go down and choose Screen and then click OK.
As soon as I do that it attaches the Style Sheet. If I go under the Source Code, I can see there is a Link Tag that we just created through that process. And now all of my paragraphs are red which is exactly what we're going for. All right, I am going to delete this StyleSheet, I am going to click on it right over here in the All view of my CSS Styles panel. And then just click the Trashcan icon. Because I want to show you an alternate method of doing the exact same thing that we just did. If I go over to my CSS Styles panel unless I don't have any Styles applied. I can come down and create a brand New CSS Rule and when I do that I can say, Okay, I just want to do Tag Selector and I wanted to the Paragraph Tags.
So we're just going to do the same rule we did before. Now after that it's going to say, well, where do want to place that rule? And if you don't already have a Style Sheet attached, it's going to prompt you to do either in this document only which will do embedded styles, or you can prompt it to create a new Style Sheet file. So you can sort of do this all at once and not have to do in separate steps. So as soon as I click OK, it's going to prompt me to save this. This time I am just going to do a test 2.CSS. And I'm just going to change once again color to something like red and I'll click OK.
Now notice that as soon as I did that it did two things for me. It created the link in head of the document to that test 2 CSS file and it also created the first rule inside it as well. So that way, if you're creating a brand New StyleSheet from scratch, you know it's a lot quicker and a lot easier in terms of getting it done. I don't know if you notice this or not however, there is one crucial thing missing from that particular workflow. You'll notice that we were not able to choose a media type. So we couldn't do any type of media declaration to the rule.
Now you certainly we could go into the code and add that yourself little bit later on, but that's something that you need to be aware of in case you thinking of adopting that particular method. Ok I am going to go and delete this one and we're going to attach our actual Style Sheets. So now that we know kind of different methods that we have in terms of attaching a Style Sheet, it becomes pretty easy to do. First I'm going to do to Save All to get rid of those Links that we're not using anymore. And the next thing I am going to do is, I am going to attach the Style Sheet and I am going to Browse Out into our CSS directory. And this time, I am going to choose the one that was already sitting in there for main.CSS.
Now instead just grabbing the Media pull-down menu this time and choosing a Single Media type. You're also allowed to enter in a comma separated list or even if you guys are working with media queries, you can even type of media query directly into this. So I am just going to type in screen, projection and then click OK. And as soon as I do that I see all my styling show up the way that I expected to, Main.CSS shows up over here on the side. And if I go in the Code view again I'll see that link with my media type applied to it as well and I am going to do a Save All.
And it's a very quick and easy Way to go grab a Style Sheet that you already have and attach it to the page. Now you could always a hand code the link into the Style Sheet as well. It's a simple element and Dreamweaver's Code Hinting will even help you Browse for the correct CSS file as you link out to it. But in the end, like many of the options inside Dreamweaver, the method that you choose to use will largely be based on Personal Preference.

Screw Winter... True Blood's Coming!
What do you have planned for Sunday night, or what I'm calling "Total Eclipse of the TV"? It's the only night all year when Mad Men and True Blood both air and I don't know whether to pour myself an old fashioned and weep bitter tears or fix myself a bloody mary and shriek with delight (compromise: both).
They wanna do bad things with you.
For those of you who've reading our weekly Mad Men coverage here at Bitch, fear not: we'll recap Sunday's season finale (sniff), but we'll be covering True Blood too! Because a soap-y, action-packed show like TB doesn't really merit a 1,500-word analysis each week, we'll be live-tweeting each episode at @BitchMediaLive and posting a quick rehash each Monday. Follow along!
And while we're on the subject, have you seen the trailer for season five of True Blood? It looks predictably TOTALLY BANANAS. Christopher Meloni, you guys!
Are you looking forward to Sunday night's premiere? Do you have any predictions? (Mine: Tara isn't dead, Steve Newlin will make a hilarious vampire, and everyone is going to take their shirts off.)

5 Essential Workflow Tips for GarageBand for iPad
Rounik Sethi on Mar 21, 2011 in GarageBand • 39 comments
When musical inspiration strikes there's nothing worse than needing to navigate a clunky software interface before getting your ideas in place. Fortunately, GarageBand for iPad takes much of the 'interface interference' away and allows you to get hands on, quite literally, with your music.
The big question, when creating music, is whether it's quicker to use a mouse and standard keyboard or to use a touch screen? A touch screen lacks the ability to perform quick keyboard shortcuts, but gains on the ability to quickly perform a function via a gesture such as a tap, pinch, swipe, etc.
Now, iOS apps and touch screen interfaces are still in their infancy, so I suspect there will be many changes in the way we interact and communicate with our tablets and computers in the coming years. In the meantime, here are 5 of my favorite GarageBand for iPad shortcuts that will help you get around and get you creating music more quickly with less fuss.
Tip 1 - Start Playback from Anywhere
You may have discovered that by tapping or dragging on the Ruler you can reposition the Playhead. Try double-tapping anywhere along the playhead to begin playback from that position.
As an additional bonus tip, when in the Touch Instrument view you can pinch to zoom on the Ruler to zoom the timeline.
Tip 2 - Show/Hide Track Controls
Tap on the Mixer tab (top right of the Track view) will display the controls for the selected track and allow you to show or hide all Track Controls.
However, that takes at least 2 taps to get to this pop-up. A quicker way to show/hide Track Controls is to swipe right/left respectively over the track controls.
Tip 3 - Go to Touch Instrument View
Once in the Track view switching back to the Instrument's settings normally involves tapping on the View button in the Control Bar.
Another way is to double-tap on the icon of the track. You will be immediately taken to the view page for that Touch Instrument without needing to move your arm those couple of centimeters to the top of your iPad!
Tip 4 - Volume Control & Reset
In Track View double tap a track's volume slider to reset it's volume level to 0dB.
Additionally, double-tapping the Master Volume slider to set it's volume level to 100%. Unfortunately, double-tapping again will not reset the volume level back to 0dB or the previous setting... but this is useful if you want to quickly boost the overall level of your song.
Tip 5 - Swipe Solo and Mute Gestures
This is one of my most loved gestures in GarageBand for iPad (and Logic on the Mac)! Let's say you want to solo the first four tracks in your song in Track view. Your normal route is to tap on the solo button for each track and to un-solo repeat the process. That's 8 individual taps...
A much more satisfying trick is to swipe up or down along the solo or mute buttons for those tracks. This gives you the ability to swipe mute or swipe solo multiple tracks in one fell swoop!
If you have any GarageBand for iPad tips and tricks to share we'd love to hear them. If you have any GarageBand related questions (iPad or Mac) drop us a comment below!
2. I can't figure out what
the Merge Recordings function does
on the drum track.
3. is there a way to choose the
chords in the smart instruments?
4. if you are powering a usb keyboard
keyboard from the ipad via cable
the ipad will stop sending juice to the keyboard
2. I'll get back to you about Merge recordings for drum tracks when I'm next near my iPad!
3. You can choose the scale for smart instruments.
4. Which USB Keyboard are you using with the iPad?
By merge recording do you mean that while recording in GarageBand for iPad that the section repeats? This allows you (especially when recording drums) to record multiple sounds one at a time. E.g. On the first pass record the kick, then the snare, then third pass the hi hats, etc.
Thanks! There is only one way to merge tracks currently... And that's to export your entire project to an AAC file - however, currently it's not possible to import an AAC file into GB for iPad via iTunes... I'm hopefully an update will appeR to fix that... Again, it's very possible to export your song in a format that will (once an update appears) be editable within GB for Mac.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to rename tracks in GB for iPad yet :(
Anyone tried it yet?
I've tried a few methods to import songs created in GB for Mac into GB for iPad... so far no luck. Can you post the link to this video please. Thanks.
I believe this is the "Auto-Lock" feature on the iPad. So return to the Home screen and tap on 'Settings > General > Auto-Lock
here you can set the time after which the iPad turns off.
Thanks for the link though :)
If you have any questions or need any software help ask here or on the MPV forums.
The Jigsaw icon has been removed in the latest update for GB for iOS... you're not missing any functionality by it not being there :)
I have a little question: is there a way inserting a blank space at the beginning of a allready recorded song, so I can record a intro? Dragging all tracks is very difficult (impossible) because there are too many small blocks in each track. Or is it possible to convert all blocks in one block. This would make dragging much easier.
Thanks for reply.
It depends how many bars space you need at the beginning?
1. Tap the + button in the Timeline. This will allow you to create a new section.
2. Tap on The blue arrow next to the new section and manually choose how long this section should be (e.g. 2 bars).
3. Go back to the song sections menu and tap on the "Edit" button. Now drag the new short section to the begging of the song (above the other sections).
I couldn't find Edit-button. What I did :
1. Created a new section B
2. Duplicated section A (recorded song)
3. Section C (=copy section A) comes after section B
4. Deleted section A
5. Section B comes in front of song (now section C)
6. I recorded intro in section B
Problem: now I can only replay section B, and section A is not following automatically. How can I fix this, and if not, where can I find the song section menu and the "edit"button?
Christian, a learning GB user...
I've replied on the MPV forums so I can use images to help the process :)
follow this link:
A happy GB-user...
Have a great day too and enjoy GB for iPad!
I don't think so unless you render/bounce/export each track down to individual audio files and reimport them into a new song. But that way you'll lose the "easy to edit" MIDI data.
You can always export your song and then load it up in GarageBand for Mac where you'll discover more effects, instruments, loops and editing functionality.
Unfortunately, I've not come across a way to select multiple regions across different tracks.
The only workaround I can think of (which would be unsuitable for most purposes) would be to merge tracks and then split the one track. The problem with this is you lose the ability to edit and mix each track individually after they've been merged.
Other little question: intending to buy iPad 3 or 4. Can I transfer GarageBand app and all my songs from my first iPad to the new one without losing or changing things?
Thanks for reply.
Sure. You can easily sync GB for iOS via iTunes on your Mac/PC or download it from the iTunes store.
Also, you can export each of your songs from GB to iTunes from your iPad 1... then import then on your iPad 3... or 4 :)
Follow these instructions to share files from your Mac to your iPad:
1. Plug your iPad into your Mac.
2. Select your iPad under "Devices" in the iTunes Library column.
3. Click on the "Apps" tab at the top of the iTunes interface and scroll down to the 'File Sharing" section.
4. Select GarageBand (or other compatible app) and choose "Add". Then select the file from your computer you wish to share with that app on your iPad.
Hope this helps
Did the import-export of GB via iTunes. At a certain moment, synchronising my old & new iPad, I lost my GB-app, had to download back GB-app via iTunes. But somewhere, somehow I lost all my songs...I allready had the last takes imported in iTunes, so that's OK. However I can't find the history (earlier takes) of my songs. HELP!!!
I'm afraid I lost everything, though I hope you can help me out...Thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry to hear that... I've not come across this issue before... it seems that when your gb app was deleted the app data was deleted too... in which case, I'm not sure if it is possible to recover this data.
one method that may work is to connect your ipad to your mac and restore your previous backup:
hope this helps?

If your daffodils didn't bloom well this year ask yourself these two questions: Did you allow the foliage to die back naturally last summer before you cut it off; and has it been eons since they were last divided?
Patience is a virtue when it comes to daffodils.
Often the first color to appear in early spring, their beauty is long awaited.
Then we have to wait another two months before we can remove the dulling green foliage.

With three first-round picks, Kekalainen says Columbus will be 'active and aggressive' at Draft
Jun 24, 2013, 2:00 PM EDT
If Jarmo Kekelainen's past is any suggestion, he'll be one to watch at the NHL Entry Draft.
The Blue Jackets GM — who, two months ago, shook up the trade deadline by acquiring Marian Gaborik — has vowed to be a mover and/or shaker at Sunday's draft in New Jersey.
"Every draft is different, not just the players available but the conversations between clubs," he told the Columbus Dispatch. "We're going to be active and aggressive."
That's a quote worth paying attention to, as the rookie GM has the tools at his disposal to make a real splash.
Columbus holds three first-round picks — No. 14, 19 and 27 overall — and heads into Sunday with 17 players under contract for next season and over $18 million in cap space.
Kekalainen also has experience in holding three first-round picks from his time as St. Louis' "draft guru."
Here's more, from the Dispatch:
The Sharks took Logan Couture with the No. 9 pick, and the Blues took Lars Eller, who was later traded to Montreal for goaltender Jaroslav Halak. The Blues traded the No. 24 pick and a third-round pick to Calgary for No. 18 and took defenseman Ian Cole, who has had a so-so career. With the 26th overall pick, the Blues drafted [David] Perron, one of their "foundation" players.
"We would have taken Eller at No. 9, but we thought we'd get him later, and we were right," Kekalainen said. "For San Jose, Couture was definitely a player worth moving up for."
Kekalainen says his approach to drafting players is very basic.
- DonkeyStick - Jun 24, 2013 at 2:18 PM
This draft is extremely deep, and they should not do anything to "shake" things up and just draft the best player at each their selection. They are still a few years away from contending, let the better teams get older in the division and compete in 2-3 years for a cup.
- sjsblitz - Jun 24, 2013 at 2:24 PM
- richardwilliams2013 - Jun 24, 2013 at 2:57 PM
@Donkey Stick. please tell me you are joking because we are not a few years away from contending seeing as we were 1 point away from making the playoffs and if jarmo wants to shake things up, he will shake things up and get columbus the best deal possible. So stop speaking non sense
- nyrnashty - Jun 24, 2013 at 4:43 PM
Yeah,1 point away from making the playoffs in a shortened season. You can't judge anything on this half year. The NHL starts back up in the fall! Your team is currently still missing pieces to get you in the playoffs let alone being a cup contender.
- kreemer16 - Jun 24, 2013 at 8:55 PM
If you knew anything about the previous season for "our team", you would know that we just got stronger throughout the season, so a longer schedule in theory would be better for us than a shortened season. Add the other half to this year, the Blue Jackets would have been at least a 6 seed.
- DonkeyStick - Jun 25, 2013 at 9:23 AM
Competing for the 8th playoff spot (where HALF THE LEAGUE gets in) and contending for a Stanley Cup are two different things don't you think? But I suppose I'm just speaking "non sense." Oh wait, you meant "nonsense."
- 19to77 - Jun 24, 2013 at 3:08 PM
Should target guys like Horvat, Gauthier, etc. If they try to move up, Monahan or Lindholm. Centre depth is the greatest weak point on their roster.
- jaredphi - Jun 24, 2013 at 3:31 PM
Max Domi might be a possibility for CBJ too. Good hands and he can play wing along with center.
- jaredphi - Jun 24, 2013 at 4:04 PM
Or…remote chance here…Barkov…although he'll likely go in the top 6 so CBJ would need to trade up for him.
- howintensive - Jun 24, 2013 at 4:38 PM
Watch out for Columbus. A team with money to spend in a cap league and a first year GM determined to make smart decisions can be very dangerous. In good ways and bad ways.

Mix the ingredients well to make a pizza dough.
After the pizza dough is mixed, allow it to ferment until it doubles in size.
At this point, knock all of the air out of the dough and allow it to rise again. Now, the homemade pizza crust starts to take form.
Using a rolling pin and a thick marble slab, flatten the dough to create the pizza crust.
Put a little bit of corn meal on the peel to help with the flavor as well as making it easier to get the pizza off of the peel when ready to be put it into the oven.
Place thinly sliced tomatoes on the pizza and bake.
Only after the tomatoes have cooked add the cheese and basil.
Note : The best homemade pizza recipe is the one that uses the freshest, best ingredients.

Indoor Spring Activities for Toddlers
Spring is right around the corner, bringing unpredictable weather with it. Everyone gets a little spring fever, especially toddlers. Indoor games and activities for toddlers don't have to take lot of work, try these easy ideas to keep everyone happy on those days you are stuck at home with an energized crew of kiddos.
Regardless of what the weather is doing outside, it takes almost no time at all to make your own indoor hopscotch court. Simply lay tape down on a rug or carpet with either masking tape, painters tape or duct tape, whatever you have on hand will work.
Balance and Imaginary Play
You can also lay down tape in different shapes and create balance beams and let your kids pretend they are walking a high up tightrope. Or, tape down a few squares and let them leap onto lily pads across a moat of water.
Treasure/Scavenger Hunt
While this takes a little planning on your part, it is really easy to set up a treasure hunt around the house. First create 3 or 4 clues: use colored construction paper to create shapes or numbers. Hide each clue around the house, they should get a little harder to find as the hunt goes along.
Bonus: decide on a craft project to do once the scavenger hunt is over and hide something you need for the craft with some of the clues. For example you could hide some crayons and a coloring book, paintbrushes, paints, paper and a smock.
Obstacle Course
This is always a favorite and easy to set up! Use couch cushions, blankets, chairs… the sky is the limit. Create a safe obstacle course away from sharp corners or other potential hazards like the top of the stairs. When your kids get bored with it rearrange it to make it interesting again.
Dance Party
Crank up your kid's favorite music and start dancing. Take turns creating a new move for everyone to try. Put each new move together to create a memory sequence, and see how many moves they can remember!
Another fun idea is to let them create a music video to their favorite song and record it with your smartphone or video camera. This is a great opportunity to get out the dress-up clothes and old Halloween costumes, they will have so much fun being the star of their very own music video!
Sensory Bin
You can make a sensory bin out of practically anything; from an old inflatable pool to a shoe box. Fill whatever bin you choose with dry beans, loose plastic beads, whatever you have handy (or all of the above). Add some bowls, measuring cups, funnels, toilet paper rolls…the sky is the limit. Toddlers love to scoop and pour, they will get lost in this activity! While it isn't highly aerobic, playing with a sensory bin allows for creative thinking which is just as important. It is very messy so don't expect them to keep everything off the floor. Put some big towels or a drop cloth down to catch the mess, and let them do this on the day you were planning on vacuuming.
When all else fails, have your toddlers run laps around the house. It sounds boring to adults, but kids love having permission to run in the house. Create a start/finish line and every time they cross it you can mark a piece of paper or even their arm with a washable marker. See how many laps they can do. Challenge them to do 20 or 30 laps. Be sure to have them wear their shoes and move any potential hazards out of the running course.
Kids love to let their imaginations take over during indoor exercise, let them take the activity wherever their creative minds wander to. Don't worry if it gets a little messy; toddlers get frustrated when cooped up all day and will appreciate being allowed to burn off their energy in new and exciting ways. Enjoy your spring!

does anybody know if this game is broadcast on standard radio?
omg, STILL no points!
Chip shot for Bironas is BLOCKED.
I really think the Titans match up the best against the Steelers D b/c of their Oline. I hope our line will become as lethal as the Titans
Another FG miss. Paging Al Del Greco
Are you kidding me???
They can't even make a 27 yarder???
What the hell is going on??
this is absurd. the stoolers O looks terrible.
The Stealers have to be the luckiest team on the planet.
They are getting their asses kicked up and down the field yet they might be ahead at halftime.
And what the hell are the Titans rushing 3 fcking guys for when the blitz has been KILLING them?????
every fucking time. he is miserably bad all half and walks away looking like a champ from the last drive. i don't get it. blown coverages every play that drive, how does that shit happen so much after that first half???
How in the world?! Ben Jen is a terrible QB, yet he makes two throws and now Chris is all over his jock.
All the breaks always go there way. Cmon Collins you old drunk get a TD before half.
Holmes is definitley the scarier WR now for them...his speed is killer. Lucky for us, our CBs are much faster this year.
HOT DAMN...Sometimes I wish we could've had Kenny Britt in Round 1!
I love Michael Oher, but I knew Britt was going to make plays like that...damn!
Thank You! Nice progession by Collins was looking right came all the way back left. But I bet they'll say only because Troy wasn't in.
first big play was a blown coverage by Chris Hope...not sure about TD play, guess you could argue that.
HA, there it is...Polamalu AND Woodley out.
Yay for russian mafia Moscow feeds. NFL can't touch them.
Well, that didn't take long without Palumalu in there.
Collinsworth "With Troy out of the lineup it looks like a whole different defense"
Have you watched the first half with the Titans marching up and down the field you idiot??????
WITH hair on the field??>?

Prostitutes hear of a different life
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Corpus Christi Police Department is taking a different approach to finding a long-term solution to prostitution when stings and straight arrests fail.
Since the second week of September, the department has worked informally with a faith-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Driscoll called Teen Challenge of South Texas.
Teaming up is a sign the department is trying more nontraditional tactics to fight a constant, migrating problem, said Capt. Jay Vesely. Drug addiction almost always is what pushes prostitutes to the streets to sell themselves, he said.
Teen Challenge gives the women a chance to change their lives, said Pastor Michael Adams, the center's executive director.
"It's just become a deep way of life -- it's rooted in them and it's sin," Adams said. "Most people don't want to confront it. They don't want to confront their real issues, instead of masking them."
Officials with Teen Challenge now accompany patrol officers weekly, looking for prostitutes, except for weeks when the department conducts stings. When prostitutes are found, an officer typically approaches, warning them they'll be caught if they stay on the street.
The officer then asks if they want help after checking with dispatch to make sure the women are not wanted on a warrant. If a suspected prostitute says yes, the officer backs off and the Teen Challenge staff takes over.
Two women walked along a residential street on the city's Westside one afternoon this month, surrounded by rows of single-story houses, a decaying apartment complex and a boarded storefront.
Moments after turning onto the street in his cruiser, Corpus Christi police Sgt. Jesse Saenz recognized the women while still a half-block away. Their names already were written into the pocket notebook he uses in his work with the department's special prostitution enforcement team -- a newly created group of three directed patrol officers who spend time making contact with prostitutes as part of their community policing mission.
Saenz pulled his cruiser next to the women and got out. One woman was wearing close-fitting jeans and a white halter top that read "expensive but worth it" across the chest. The other was in an orange halter and jean miniskirt.
He began talking softly after exiting the car. Adams stepped out of the car once the women's names cleared dispatch, and he questioned them about drugs.
"What are you on?" Adams asked.
The woman in the skirt, Melissa, promptly responded that she was on crack cocaine. She said she stopped when she became pregnant, but recently suffered a miscarriage. Now she's using again, she said.
Adams asked whether she had hit rock bottom and wanted to get off the street.
"I don't know what I want," she said. "I'm all screwed up -- I don't like this."
She spoke with the two men for about 10 minutes, long after the other woman walked off, and said she was interested in Adams' program. Five minutes later a van pulled up and three women got out -- Teen Challenge interns who have gone through the program.
They tell Melissa that they know what she's going through -- they've been on the streets themselves and know what it's like to compromise themselves for drugs.
"I've had enough," Melissa said, bursting into tears. "Get me off the streets."
"It's not always about putting people in jail," Saenz said. "If you need help, get help and stay off the street -- that's better than jail."
Saenz said he first met Adams a few months ago when he was trying to find a program for a woman who was brought to a local hospital. She asked for help getting off the street and possibly spiritual guidance, so he called a friend, who mentioned Adams.
Teen Challenge is a rehabilitation center that deals with all types of "life-controlling" problems, as Adams puts it, including people battling drugs, alcohol, kleptomania and other conditions. The center expanded about a year ago to Driscoll after taking over the former Youth City campus. Teen Challenge is part of a national not-for-profit group under the same name with more than 179 rehabilitation centers across the United States.
Despite its name, Teen Challenge no longer just serves teens.
"In the early years, that's who we would minister to, but now we work with adults and their families," Adams previously said.
It requires participants to live at the facility for 13 months and undergo intensive Christian study. Midway through the program they begin working in small groups at businesses around the area to pay their way.
Teen Challenge charges tuition; however, participants frequently can cover only a fraction of the amount but typically are allowed to pay what they can, Adams said. The center is funded by donations, a furniture and Christian crafts industry and government grants.
"We're not a mental hospital," Adams said. "We don't use medication. ... We cold-turkey people. We're a hard-core detox facility grounded in the power of prayer."
Residents are free to leave at any time if they want to drop out, but those who stay can't graduate until they embrace the Christian faith, Adams said.
Despite Teen Challenge's overtly religious components, the police department is concerned only with the drug treatment aspect of the group's work, Vesely said.
"What matters to us is that they are the only group offering this type of drug-treatment service in our area," he said of the group's decision to work side-by-side with police.
Working with Teen Challenge is another tool to fight prostitution along with prostitution stings and other conventional methods, Vesely said.
The police department would welcome any other substance abuse group to work with officers, Vesely said, but Teen Challenge is the only group that has stepped forward.
"It's not like these women wake up one day and decide they're going to become prostitutes," Vesely said. "The only factor is drugs. ... and it's a devastatingly fast fall once they start."
The decision to seek treatment and get off the street has to be a conscious choice, Adams said. Unless someone hits rock bottom, they're probably not ready.
Back on the street about dusk, Saenz spots three women who fit the profile of a prostitute walking on Leopard Street. When he makes contact, two walk away, but one, Annette, sticks around.
She expresses interest in the program and Adams' calls in his van of staff waiting nearby. The newly assembled group, including Annette, clasps hands in a circle and prays.
Annette said she's lived on and off the street for 16 years, overdosing three times during that time. She said she had sought treatment before, even living under the care of another pastor for about seven months before going back to her previous lifestyle. When it came time to give Adams a final answer, she said she wasn't interested.
"I'm an addict and have had to battle with that every day," Annette said. "This is no way to live, but it's so hard to stop. Why flip burgers when you can do this and make more money in a day than you can all week?"
Minutes later, after Annette walked away, Adams said she just wasn't ready. Many others, including some who start treatment at Teen Challenge, aren't ready as well.
In the first three trips Saenz and Adams made, three women agreed to start the program. Two twins left after the first night, and the third woman is just completing her second month.
Of those who start the program, about 40 percent drop out, Adams said. But of clients who graduate and stay the full 13 months, 86 percent still are sober after five years, he said.
Melissa, the woman Adams' staff picked up earlier in the day, was the only one who expressed interest in the program.
Adams asked Melissa if she wants something to eat. She agreed, changing from her street clothes into wind pants and a long-sleeved shirt and got into the van. About a half-hour later, one of the pastor's staff called, saying the woman had just finished eating at a local restaurant and walked out.
"That's the way it is sometimes," Adams said after hanging up. "If we get to one out of a million, I want that one."
Faith-based help
Teen Challenge of South Texas, a local chapter of the international faith-based treatment center, opened last year at the former Coastal Bend Youth City campus near Driscoll. The center, which offers a live-in program for life-controlling problems, serves adults and their families.
Currently living in the shelter are:
