"Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me,
Your tongue's like poison"
-- The Cure
The intersection of death and the erotic throughout Elizabethan and Jacobean tragedy is a virtual commonplace of the genre; from Hamlet's leap into Ophelia's grave to the perversities of Tourneur and Middleton, the body of death is at least symbolically conflated with the body of desire. Indeed, while granting that theatrical personae as yet do not "go so far as making love to the corpse," Philippe Aries notes "an almost imperceptible shift [in early modern England and France] from familiarity with the dead to macabre eroticism." Yet in Cyril Tourneur's The Revenger's Tragedy (1607), the eroticized body of death is more than a symbolic presence or moody memento mori: Gloriana's skull is a prop endowed with remarkable spectacular and material efficacy. Peter Stallybrass's argument that death removes Gloriana from the corrupting realm of sexual desire is doubly belied by Vindice's notably prurient obsession with the skull of his nine-years-dead betrothed and by his all but literal prostitution of the skull in pursuit of revenge against the lecherous Duke. I suggest that this latter machination constitutes the play's emblematic moment: a savage literalization of the conventional love/death conjunction as the Duke kisses -- and "like a slobbering Dutchman," at that -- the skull's poisoned maw.
Without denying the rather obvious connotations of patriarchal anxiety about female sexuality -- or falling into the tempting though anachronistic trap of having Tourneur "have read" Freud or Bataille (to paraphrase Baudrillard), I would like to claim that necrophilia in The Revenger's Tragedy serves at once to parody and to interrogate contemporary, increasingly scientistic notions of the body. The constitution of the body as the object of scientific enquiry -- perhaps most strikingly though not exclusively demonstrated in the relatively recent phenomenon of public dissection -- is brutally travestied in Tourneur's insistent displacement of an "objective" knowledge of the body by spectacular, defiantly perverse desire. Necrophilia yokes together science and seduction; discipline does not replace the unruly erotic but instead precariously displaces it in the elision of the body by the cold medium of the scientific gaze. Tourneur's play does not simply eroticize "the idea of death" -- it does not disembody death by rendering it into a discourse as does that paradigm of proto-modern subjectivity, Hamlet; rather, the play theatricalizes death in the specific, material dead body. Gloriana's skull becomes perversely seductive, in Baudrillard's sense of the term, playing alternately at being pure referent and pure signifier, the revenger's "form and cause" at once conjoined and confounded: "Every interpretative discourse... wants to get beyond appearances: this is its illusion and fraud. But getting beyond appearances is an impossible task: inevitably every discourse is revealed in its appearance, and is hence subject to the stakes imposed by seduction, and consequently to its own failure as discourse." The Jacobean spectacle, situated as it is in a liminal position between the emblematic and mimetic -- between theatricality and interpretation -- undermines its own ostensible truth value by foregrounding the instability yet opacity of appearances. Confounded as well in the play's erotics of death is the distinction between an emergent scientism and the repressed, residual otherness of the transgressive corporeality identified with madness, witchcraft, and necromancy.
Even among the grotesqueries of Jacobean theatre, The Revenger's Tragedy is notably macabre; it is small wonder that Eliot singled it out for its "cynicism... loathing and disgust of humanity." Yet the morbid interest in the corporeality of death and decomposition that so distinguishes Jacobean tragedy is at least as residual as emergent, given what Lynn White has called a pervasive "socially manifested necrophilia" of the fifteenth century. As Foucault, Aries, and others have remarked upon, the Cimitiere des Innocents, Danse Macabre, and artes moriendi are cultural productions of late fourteenth and early fifteenth century Europe, phenomena that have been attributed, alternately though not exclusively, to a burgeoning humanism, the lingering psychic, social, and economic effects of the Black Death, and an ecclesiastical interest in promoting anxiety about death and hence the economic and political well-being of church bureaucrats.

Millions of dollars' worth of high-grade heroin and methamphetamine have been confiscated on the island of Kodiak in the last year, symptoms of what lifelong resident and Alaska State Trooper Sgt. Eric Olsen says is an "epidemic."
"It's scary," said Olsen. "This is my hometown, and I have never seen anything like it. I am especially worried for our children."
Addicts can't be stereotyped, Olsen said. People involved in the Kodiak drug trade, from dealers to users, come from a variety of demographics.
In the last year, Olsen estimates that the Kodiak Police Department has seized more than $3 million in narcotics. Alaska State Troopers have confiscated $273,850 in high-priced drugs: 104.5 grams of meth, 62.8 grams of heroin, 37 grams of cocaine and 9 grams of crack cocaine, he said.
"Those are just troopers patrolling, writing traffic tickets, routine things," Olsen said. "That doesn't include drug enforcement (or) investigators."
Drug dealers seem to target the Gulf of Alaska island of 6,338 residents because of the large profit on high-priced narcotics.
Olsen said that 1 gram of black tar heroin has a street value of $500 per gram, brown heroin goes for $750 per gram, methamphetamine sells for $200 for one-tenth of a gram and prescription drugs such as Oxycontin sell for $100 per pill.
These prices far exceed the street value in cities like Anchorage, he said.
"The street value could be very appealing to dealers," said Kodiak Police Chief Ronda Wallace. "They can make so much money here."
Olsen suspects the drugs are being imported from other countries -- not cooked on the island -- arriving on Kodiak by mail, plane and on some of the 700-plus boats docking in the harbor daily.
Nailing down who is bringing drugs ashore is a challenge.
Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Grant DeVuyst said his branch of the military "hasn't seen an uptick in maritime law enforcement for narcotics" in that region. Although drug enforcement is a part of its job in Alaska, it's not the Coast Guard's main responsibility -- the fishing industry is.
To Wallace and Olsen, though, the problem isn't just drugs on the island. More addicts have few treatment options.
"It used to be years ago there was quite a bit of help that could be offered to people that got into trouble with alcohol and drugs, but I think the money dried up, and that is part of the issue or at least (that's) the feeling I have gotten," Wallace said.
Wallace and Olsen agreed that drug abuse is also the root of other crimes including domestic violence, sexual assault, theft, robbery and criminal mischief.
Twenty-one days into the start of the year, Kodiak police seized $120,000 in methamphetamine, heroin, crack and cocaine. At the time, Wallace told Alaska Dispatch it was the largest drug bust she had seen in two decades on the job and the first time Kodiak police had seized Afghan brown heroin on the island.
That record only lasted a few weeks. In April, Kodiak police made the largest bust in department history when $2.2 million in meth and heroin (25.3 ounces of methamphetamine and 1.8 ounces of high-grade heroin) was confiscated from Eric R. McDaniel's hotel room.
Then in early May, three Kodiak residents were arrested for kidnapping, theft, robbery, assault and drug charges after they allegedly retaliated against a 21-year-old who had stolen money from them.
Wallace and Olsen said law enforcement is cracking down on drug crimes, but the effort to end the deadly criminal cycle involves the entire community.
This past week, Olsen said, a group of concerned citizens met to discuss the issue, drawing state and municipal employees to city health care officials and social workers. He said it was "refreshing to see" so many people trying to help.
Olsen is compiling new drug abuse numbers that he said "will blow the public's mind." He's also trying to boost drug prevention efforts by educating the public and doing more outreach in schools.
"We have to stop that cycle somewhere, and odds are it won't start with current users," Olsen said. "It will start with the children.
"But we also have to help current users combat their problems through a treatment center. This problem has the attention of our town, and we are ready to start fighting back."

MGM Mirage Weighs Detroit Move
(MGG) is thinking about selling its MGM Grand Detroit casino to comply with Michigan state law as it looks to consummate its acquisition of Mandalay Resort Group (MBG). MGM Mirage owns the Detroit casino with partners. But the merger would also give it a 53.5% indirect interest in the MotorCity Casino, also in Detroit. State law would prevent it from keeping both properties as it limits companies from holding more than one gaming license.MGM Mirage had originally planned to shed Mandalay's interest in the MotorCity property, but now it's having second thoughts. "MGM Grand Detroit and MotorCity are both great properties with consistently strong operating results and terrific growth prospects," said Terry Lanni, CEO of MGM Mirage, in a news release. "We initially expected that we would dispose of Mandalay's majority interest in MotorCity. However, since making that initial determination we have been approached by several parties concerning the possible sale of MGM Grand Detroit and we have decided to explore this alternative. If such a transaction were to occur, we would maintain Mandalay's interest in MotorCity and look forward to working closely with Mandalay's partners and the City of Detroit to develop and enhance that property."

Since 1957, the YAI Network has been a pioneer in life-adjustment, transitional and community-based services. Years before the exposure of the deplorable institutional practice of "warehousing," YAI established innovative support services, including a one of the very first community group homes in the nation. Other ground-breaking initiatives developed and grew. Day services. Family support and recreation. Employment initiatives. Health care. Camping and travel. In short, every service those with developmental disabilities need to succeed.
Just a few decades ago, conventional wisdom held that people with developmental disabilities were best served in institutions. However, they were often treated cruelly and subjected to inhumane medical procedures and practices. Thanks to the efforts of families and professionals, since the 1970s, community-based services have become the option of choice for people with developmental disabilities.
Through the creation of innovative programs, training, education and advocacy, the YAI Network has helped lead a revolution – professionalizing the field, transforming the public's perception and championing basic human rights: live one's unique life; to determine the course of that life; to make a difference; and to participate in the community. These principles, the touchstones of YAI's work, inspire every program and services.

Former Houma resident nominated for prestigious cooking award
Published: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 11:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 11:22 a.m.
HOUMA — Wesley True nearly flunked out of culinary school, however, the former Houma resident has done a 180-degree turn with his recent nomination for a James Beard Foundation Award, one of the cooking profession's highest honors.
According to True's mother, Carol Conway, of Houma, True struggled in school due to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
Instead of letting his disorder stop him, True pressed forward before eventually finding a job working the kitchen of City Grocery in Oxford, Miss., working under Chef John Currence, who later encouraged him to pursue cooking.
"I'm so excited for him," his mother said. "He's worked so hard for this and has definitely paid his dues. I attribute it (success) to his positive attitude and a self-belief he's always had in himself that he would make it in the world."
True said receiving word of this honor a few months ago came as a "complete surprise."

@phxs72: I'm still waiting for the "Iron Sights are too good" thread.
Mine was Far to overpowered for the Lsat so I have had to reside to using the Acog to balance things out.
I noticed that I could drop people in what appeared to be 2 shots with a silent Remington and AK-12 at pretty significant range. Some kid took me out from one end of Stonehaven to the other with the Honeybadger pretty swiftly too. It was pretty impressive though because I was running sideways and he sustained his aim really well...
traditionally they do have a damage drop off
depends what you mean by "damage drop-off"
If a gun does 30 at max distance, it will do so whether or not you have a silencer/suppressor on (exception, some snipers)
If same gun does 50 in close range, it will do so whether or not you have a silencer on
The biggest difference (used to be) is the range at which the damage falls from max to min (in the example, 50 to 30).
I can prove what I am saying; can you?
The silencer attachment is actually pretty realistic. It might be a little too forgiving in the range catagory but I love how IW actually made the silencer louder than in previous games which the silencer rendered the gun nearly inaudible. The silencer just removes the bang but the there's still a fairly loud "PFFT" noise that can be heard by anyone within the immediate area.
I was actually killed by someone last night who heard me shoot my silenced weapon. As soon as I fired my gun you could hear it and he did too. Turned and hunted me down. I was actually happy about it, ironically.
Yeah, I was pretty annoyed previously when Suppressors just made the gun have a barely audible clicking sound.
Well, the silencer on the USR is probably responsible for the upcoming silencer damage nerf. There is almost no penalty, it even reflects that fact on the stat page when you equip it. There is no reason not to use a silencer on the USR, its still a OHK at very long range anywhere on the upper body.
I did notice that I was getting OHK a lot by the USR silencer. To me it seemed to happen way to often, though obviously I would only notice when I was killed.

This is a good point. You can still hear it even from quite a distance away.
Are you guys kidding me? It lowers the damage how in the hell is that OP? Instead of crying about how you can't tell where the enemy is at learn to adapt besides it doesn't even matter because the guns insta-kill you no matter what so it wouldn't matter if they had a silencer cause you would be dead before you could tell where they are at.

It's wonderful.
This is one of my all time favourite digital paintings ever. High, high, high in my top 10!
I second that. I simply love the emotion in it. The sadness, the grace, the calm it exudes. A lot of calm, a little sadness and exquisite gentleness.
I first saw this on Shadowness,still love it!
The background is wonderful! The moss with the fog- those are two perfect elements.
I really love this image.
This is a very beautiful image and moment that you captured.
Makes me wanna meditate. :3 lovely
This is so sweet and sad, it does about make me want to cry. Wonderful ability to stir emotions, simply from a drawing.
I really love that you use models that don't look pre pubescent. This is enchanting I'm a big fan of moss, creeks and long dark hair. Great piece.
I love climate of this work and so perfect final result...great
Nice work!
great job!
I love it
I love it
U are a great inspiration. I will not stop untill I draw like u

Du kan det du gjør sier jeg bare
This is so so fantastic! It reminds me of the scene in Labyrinth when Sarsh crosses the stones, like its a snapshop of thought and indecision in a rush of madness.
Just a thought!

This is the first of your pictures I saw, whether on Elfwood or your own site I don't remember. I still think it is the most delicately beautiful that you have done. (And thanks for dropping by.)

I like this one.
Though something funny is going on with her left foot.
Maybe it's just the unusual angle.
Like I said I like it anyway.

Whoa! I've seen this one on elfwood quite a time ago. It became a mod's choice right? I immediately fell in love with this one and now i feel the same once again.. It's perfect! *glad she found out about 'henning'. You are definately my favourite!
Hi there! It never made it to mods choice at Elfwood, no... Thanks for your extremely nice comment, much appreciated

I find it kinda funny that "Inquietude" defines my life right now. I'm going to be 100% honest with you guys because you guys need to know the truth.
I have not worked on Inquietude in about 3-4 months.
I'm going to take the blame for this one because I have been going through some serious problems. Please take the following as fact, not as a sob story. I was pretty poor so I took a low end job because that's all I could get. I had that job for about 1.5 years and ultimately got laid off. I could not keep up with rent and had to leave and I lived with a buddy for about 3 months. Then I realized that my unemployment checks weren't coming through because the house is foreclosed upon. So I got evicted. Now I'm living on the floor in a small apartment.
tl;dr, I'm going to work on the mod when I'm in a stable living environment. I wrote an album with a buddy to raise money but with the eviction a huge majority of that went to moving.
Hang tight, guys. I'm taking the full blame for Inquietude's absence and I will make it up to you when I can. I am moving in May again so hopefully I'll be good there.
-Brandon "bXmMusic" McKagan
Inquietude has one major plot, but it also has multiple side stories that distinguish it from all the others.
Inquietude has pulled back onto the freeway! Vroom!

Is the current status Frozen or completely out of development?
Right now it's frozen because I am taking time to hone on skills so I may create all the assets to the best of my ability.
Still turns me on.
i think until this mod is released there will come in the meantime much more other games/mods they are better then this ...
dev team, pls comment when we can count with an release!
Definitely so!

Need more love.
Owhh, really? :D
This mod really terrifies me. There is something personal in it which is why it hooked me. Voted.
Please come back. :'(
Nothing new ?! 2014 coming : / I think i've seen " coming Q13 ".
Most probably don't believe karma, but that's what I believe the developer deserved. From my opinion, he is a complete *******, and things like that usually contain outcomes
Hope next time you will be more friendly person Brandon
You're an idiot. Reading your comment about bXm made me really laugh, like really really laugh. Im glad there are still arrogant people like you in the world so I can feel better about my self. This isn't fan-boying, this is me calling you an idiot.
You're being really hypocritical, man. He's just stating his observations of me as an individual. He may not know my entire situation, but he doesn't need to see it to make a valid observation. Albeit "that's what I believe the developer deserved" doesn't quite make sense to me, I commend him for speaking up. Calling him an idiot is going to make only yourself look worse my friend.
Hmm? I agree the developer of this mod is an ***, but what are you talking about?

There has been an excel report generated on the 10" scope at Curby; needs new mount.
The 12" has gone crazy; we will replace it with the 10". Curby needs work on the observatory, needs painting, mold needs to be removed, and the rails are rusting.
The building has a bad concrete floor; we have held $1,000 back from Darrell with the opportunity for him to fix.
The front field has severe ruts and he will level our and plant grass seed. We will close off with yellow tape for now to prevent parking in the area. The field across the street i draining back on us and is making our area so soft.
We are using wafer board and there is a leak around the posts. We used foam for insulation but it is uneven. The concrete is uneven and not smooth; Darrell is working on smoothing and treating this problem.
There are three sets of white lights, four red lamps spaced out.
The restrooms are ADA handicapped accessible. We will wait to tweek the bathrooms.
There is a new German shepherd dog coming up to visit us there, so be aware.
There is a 32" drop on the back of the building, 20" drop at the garage door and a ramp. We will need sidewalks to the garage door and a ramp. Ken made a motion the he would like to have the sidewalk on the N & S side to connect to the ramp for an estimated cost of $550. Ed seconded. Motion Passed unanimously. Ken has permissions to get this done as long as he leaves around $1,500 in the treasury.
The building has a coded lock on the door.
Plumbing and electricity are around $2,500.
We will be a little short of $17,500 on total expenses for our new building.

Lunar and Planetary report (Don) The LAS Lunar Landings Star Party at E. P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park Friday night July 20 was a great success thanks to the publicity from Ken Neuhauser and Jim Bulleit from WLKY TV. It was worth getting up at 3:30 AM to go on air at 5:00 AM! We had 15 scopes and over 200 visitors. We had over 100 hikers so we had to divide the crowd into thirds with Tessa Edelen, the park naturalist as one guide, and me and Bo Lowery taking the other groups. We began with a lecture on the evening's activities in front of the gym. There were three stations along the fitness trail to the observing field with Anthony Minstein on binoculars, Jane and John Liello with a 60mm Nexstar and Galen Lowery showing moon views through a 6″ Dob. The observing field was busy all night. Don Spain had a crowd of 70 at his scope and our crowd estimate for the night was 200+. Troy Atwood stayed at the computer all night repeating the Lunar Landing Sites show. Jann Hall acted as hostess. We brought in over $200 in chances for the 114MM scope donated by Troy. Our guests were flown to the moon to stand where the astronauts stood on July 20, 1969, followed by going to Jupiter. After every show, there was applause and a lot of thank yous. Don Spain and Troy showed the landing sites for Apollo 11, 16, and 17 then our visitors went out into the field to view these sites through member scopes. Those helping in the field were Randy Beachler, Jay Clark, Don Spain, Rick Whitworth, J.R. Dietrich, Mike Moraghan, Jeff McCaffrey, Susan Radtke, Anthony Minstein, Bo and Galen Lowrey, Don Spain, Bob Crews, Ed Heiny, Greg Miller, Charles O'Hearn and David Thompson. That's one giant star party for the LAS, the Urban Astronomy Center and E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park! Thanks, Tessa, Jim Bulleit, Ken Neuhauser and all the volunteers who made it possible. By our estimates, our first four star parties have brought 500 guests to the UAC. For August Don has a handout for the total lunar eclipse, starts at 4:00 am, wants people to enter a photo. Jupiter high in the south on the 17th, the UAC is open and Don will send a notice of what will be visible.
Librarians (Greg) New to us bookshelves have been moved and the books are ready to be moved. We will give away not current magazines.
Historian (Karl) Ken heard from a lady that the original Clark was in and will send out more info as he receives it.
Equipment Committee (Ed/Troy/John) We got the great orange crush 12" cast aluminum scope dissembled, and Troy & John cleaned the mirror; it needs to be recoated, same for the 6" finder and needs to be adjusted (both primary and secondary).The mirror coating will be less than $300 at Spectrum. Troy made a motion to get the 12" mirror recoated, seconded by Greg. Motion passed unanimously. Ed will send the mirrors. 12" Meade is back and going to Curby tonight and they will bring back the 8". We still have a few scopes to sell. Mike Monahan finished the Foucault tester and it is working. Ed suggests we sell the observatory for $3,000.
Technology Committee (Troy) Rangers office has internet access, we will see if we can share. Troy will work with Ranger Dave and Chris Head to inquire about sharing. We still need another projector for programs.
Curby Update (Ken) Building wise we are looking at $12,000 – $15,000 with electricity & plumbing. Metal built – 24 W X 36 D X 10 H and insulated for $8,500, $5,000 Building kit, $3,000 assembly. Ken will work with an architect. Ken thinks it will be $11,500 plus electricity, plumbing and foundation. Ken suggests we hold off until spring and work on the design, 3 – 5 weeks to complete the building is what the architect originally thinks.
UAC Update (John) Pat Peak has donated items for the UAC; a partial list includes a sofa, rocker, computer desk, desk lamps, file cabinet, storage boxes, office chair, book shelf, storage cabinet and computer speakers to name a few. These items were picked up by John Turack, Drew Foster, Jim Lindle, Jann Hall and Ed Heiny. Starry Night needs to be purchased for the UAC.
UAC Security (John) Lights have been turned off and John & Troy have been talking with Ranger Dave about security lighting at the center. We can get lights for security at Home Depot with down lighting. Ken will call Chris about lights in the area, John & Ken will meet with Chris.
Gaming License Update (Ken/Jeff) Ken will contact the Chairman of the Louisville Thoroughbred Chorus, Tom Houchen, and Chairman.
Yahoo Group (Troy) There is a new e-mail group and Troy has set this up; he is working with Mike Sellers, John Turack.
John Dobson Visit (Ken) John will be hosted by Roger Curry and Dee Ozvath while in Louisville; Lunar Moon is at 1st quarter. He is here from September 23 through September 28th; the public events begin on Tuesday, the 24th and end on Bardstown Road, with a Mile of scopes, on Saturday, the 28th. Lacey Thomas will pick him up and take him to the Land between the Lakes.
MISC (All) Tabled for September – discussion of revision of our current By-Laws to include on-line protocol.
Our picnic will be moved to sometime in September, perhaps Member Night.
We need to look into packets for New Members, Jeff sends out a one page Welcome Letter.

Hi it's a simple yet beautiful theme. I created a gallery page according to the instruction in 'DOCUMENTATION V1.0'. But there is no effect on thumbnails, and no pop-up. Moreover, the HTML is different from the one in the demo page. Am i missing something? or am i not supposed to use the wordpress media uploader to get the same effect as the demo?
Hi, I would need to go into your Wordpress dashboard to see what the problem is. Could you send me the login info using the form on http://themeforest.net/user/typebig ?
Hi, I'm sorry for all the trouble. But I tried to create the gallery page one more time after i imported 'demo-data.xml' (I didn't import it when i tried for the first time.) and its all working now. Thank you.
Is the theme translation ready? Would it be WPML friendly? Thanks!
No, I am sorry it is not but the theme is simple to set up. You don't need to know HTML.
So there is no .po and .mo provided with the theme? That is REALLY sad…
With Twitter releasing v1.1, Twitter feed will no longer workWe'll try to find a solution, but it will require you to register as an App Developer on Twitter so you can input your access token and other info.
good morning I'm still experimenting before taking the site fully live. Another question – I'd like to merge the look and feel of the portfolio page and the gallery one, i.e. when presenting the portfolio page and selecting one item, is it possible that you then have the functionality of the gallery display of images, not the one-after-the-other vertical display of pictures that comes with the portfolio one? thanks Jan www.think-shoot.de/portrait
Hi, that is something I will have to customize and would take a bit of time. However, if you want to turn the images into a slider you can use the following code for single-portfolio.php
<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php previous_post_link('%link'); ?>

 <?php $portfolio_page = get_pages(array('meta_key' => '_wp_page_template', 'meta_value' => 'portfolio.php', 'hierarchical' => 0)); echo 'ID ).'">'.get_the_title( $portfolio_page[0]->ID ).''; ?>

<?php next_post_link('%link'); ?>

 <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); // get custom meta fields $custom = get_post_custom($post->ID); $sy_project_extra = $custom["sy_project_extra"][0]; $sy_project_description = $custom["sy_project_description"][0]; $sy_project_website = $custom["sy_project_website"][0]; $slides = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'sy_repeatable_project_slides', true ); $count = count($slides); ?>

Hello. Does it work to show videos instead of images?
Hi, you can but you will have to manually use HTML for the gallery lightbox.
HI again,
1- In the portfolio template, I want to change the "all" tag for "todos", in the categories section. How I do this?
2 – in the single portfolio page, how I take off the "website" button?
thanks for the help
1. Just open up portfolio.php by going to Appearances -> Editor and do a search for "All" and change the text.
2. Open up single-portfolio.php and look for the following and delete or comment it out:

<a href="<?php echo $sy_project_website; ?>">Website

One more question. I see there are only 3 images on the homepage on the demo with the PInterest style. Is there an option that would let me have more than 3 images on the homepage with the pinterest style? Thank you so much
Hi, the 3 images are inputted in a form. If you want to add more images, that would require HTML and CSS customizations on the page template. That will probably take some time.
One last question! Sorry for asking so much But the 3 images on the homepage, can these be Portfolio images and not just regular images?
Those 3 images are inputted by inserting any image url. You just need to get the url of the portfolio image and insert the url in an input field.
Would it be too much work on your part to make the theme translation ready pleaaaaaaase? My client bought this theme and she likes it a lot but she wants an English AND French version and right now, it's really hard to achieve. I tried generating a .po with Poedit but it only gives me 10-12 strings… That would really be awesome if you could do it!
Hi, not anytime soon. What do you need to translate? You can go into the php files and try manually changing the text.
The problem I have is I need a bilingual website. So I can't just go and translate directly in the files since it would affect both versions… It's too bad you're not considering it… http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/theme-development/translating-your-theme/
Great theme! 2 questions so far:
1) i took your logo from demo page, and used same size for my logo.. when open on iphone/ipad, it doesn't show up as retina display. how can I fix this?
2) the entire navigation on iphone is messed up. the 3 bar button is way too large and overlaps the logo, and then when touched, it opens an incomplete list of menu elements.
please help! thanks!
Hi, send me a message on the form at http://themeforest.net/user/typebig with a link to your site or access to your wordpress dashboard and I will try to get your issues resolved.
Another quick question: Can't seem to make galleries work. After inserting the images, nothing happens. Frustrating!
Make sure the image you select has a width or height bigger than 1024px. I will look into this issue also when you send me a message. Thank you.
i am looking for a minimal layout like your beautiful theme.
What i need though is to be able to see pics 1 by 1 and not on a grid like the portfolio. Is it possible to do it with your theme?
Also, is it possible to setup the homepage with a single image only like the top image in your home and can i add as many pictures as i want?
Thanks, Fab
Hi, thanks for your interest. Do you want just a slider for your portfolio page like the following except the audio and video part http://themes.seench.com/portrait/gallery/media-combo/ ?
So you want single images stacked on top of each other or a slider for the homepage? Yes, you can remove the other pictures at the bottom.
thanks for your reply.
Yes, only a slider like the link you gave me would me ok but would it look good with smaller pictures?
And yes, i'd need an homepage slider with possibly smaller pictures but that will still look good.
Hi, the pictures get resized based on the screen size. So, your small images probably won't look too good. However, you can disable the auto resizing so your images will remain the original size. I can't tell you if your smaller images will look good if this is done.
Hi, thanks for the info. Will see what client wants to do then.
hello.. i sent a message through your profile a few days ago in need of support and still no answer.
Apologies if this has been asked before and I'm not finding it:
Is there a way to have the gallery be just the slideshow without the images all appearing on the page one after the other? So that I could put a link in the main menu to say, "weddings" and clicking on it brings up the slideshow instead of the row of images?
Lovely theme!
Warmest, Faith
Hi, you can just use the "media" page template to create a slider. Create a new page. Select media from the template dropdown. Save draft. Then, there should be fields to create you slider.
Hey Typebig, First off, I love the theme! It's been getting a ton of great comments from visitors. I have one lingering problem which I have not been able to solve despite trying to use the advice passed along to others who had similar comments/issues.
Basically, on the blog post page, any images that I include are getting the right side cut off. The container is always the correct size for the page but the image inside of it isn't being resized correctly. I used the advice you gave dikatana and switched the html to "style="width:100%; height:auto" />" but I'd rather not go through every single image and do this as it is not at all efficient.
Additionally, I attempted to follow the advice you expounded upon "#post .row .right .size-full {width:100% !important; height:auto !important} For the above, the img HTML tag needs to have "size-full" class in order for it to work. You can also try the below, but it will make all the images' width 100% in the post. #post .row .right {width:100% !important; height:auto !important}"
Adding the above the the style.css didn't work. I was wondering whether you had any advice on how to fix the problem as my work is predominately visually based and users keep coming up on images that aren't being resized.
Thank you for your time,
Hi,1. In style.css look for
#boxes .thumb img {display:none; width:100%; height:auto !important; -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.2s ease-in; -moz-transition: -moz-transform 0.2s ease-in; -ms-transition: -ms-transform 0.2s ease-in; -o-transition: -o-transform 0.2s ease-in; transition: transform 0.2s ease-in; -webkit-transform: translate(-5px, 0); -moz-transform: translate(-5px, 0); -ms-transform: translate(-5px, 0); -o-transform: translate(-5px, 0); transform: translate(-5px, 0); } #boxes .thumb a:hover img { -webkit-transform: translate(0, 0); -moz-transform: translate(0, 0); -ms-transform: translate(0, 0); -o-transform: translate(0, 0); transform: translate(0, 0); }Change to:
#boxes .thumb img {display:none; width:100%; height:auto !important; }2. I am not sure what exactly you are trying to do. Do you want the images in the post to be resized or not? First delete "#post .row .right .size-full {width:100% !important; height:auto !important}. If you want the image to be on 1 column and to be expandable, then you should be the following
#post .row .left {width:100%; float:none; margin:0 0 30px 0; overflow:hidden } #post .row .right {width:100%; float:none; margin:0 0 30px 0; overflow:hidden} #post .post-image img {width:100%; height:auto !important}If you want the image to always be the orginal size, then it should be
#post .row .left {width:100%; float:none; margin:0 0 30px 0; overflow:hidden } #post .row .right {width:100%; float:none; margin:0 0 30px 0; overflow:hidden} #post .post-image img {width:auto !important; height:auto !important}
Thanks for the quick reply. Let me try to explain a little better!
When I go to a blog post (ex: http://lumen-photography.com/fashion-grace-minneapolis-minnesota/), depending on the size of the device one is viewing the images on, the right side of the image is being cutoff. This also happens if you resize the window (in chrome, ff, and ie).
I'm looking for the solution to have the images be resized the correct amount so that, no matter what the size of the device, the images are not cutoff on the right side.
I tried both of the solutions you suggested in the second part of your questions and neither had any effect. The image would still get cutoff because it's not being resized to the shape of the device/browser window.
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated and thanks again for the quick reply.
Ah I see. I think I understand now from looking at your page. Just add
.the-content img {width:100% !important; height:auto !important}in style.css. But, it looks a little awkward with the centered text and images on the right. No? It would help me if you mock up the page to exactly how you want it to look like. Then I can tell you what to do instead of me guessing what you want. Thanks.
Ideally, I would like it to show up like this page – http://lumen-photography.com/engagement-jenn-and-will-hackensack-minnesota/
On this page, the blog images resize across the board correctly and on all devices. I did this by taking your advice to dikatana and switching the html to "style="width:100%; height:auto" />" as opposed to the original dimensions. Like I mentioned above, I don't want to do this in every post for every image and switch the html.
The above post didn't work unfortunately :/
The code above works for me. I tested on Firebug. Where did you put the code? If you want give me access to your WP.
Sent you a msg. Thx
Please deactivate your w3 Cache Plugin to see changes. If you don't it's going to keep using your old files…ie style.css. Whenever you made a change to style.css you can't see any changes taking effect because your cache plugin keeps on using the old style.css.
when you click the "portfolio" thumbnails is it possible to have pages similar to your "about" page with columns that include text and pictures both left and right justified ?...
Hi, it's possible but you will need to rewrite single-portfolio.php to be like the html of about.php file. This is considered a custom job and unfortunately we would have to charge because of the time involved.
is there a way for the homepage slider to be automatic instead of clicking to the right and the left?
Hi, open up global.js and look for
// Home slider settings if ($('#home-slider').length > 0 ) { $('.rslides').responsiveSlides({ auto: false, pager: true, nav: true, speed: 400 });Change auto:false to auto:true
thank you.. but where is global.js?
nevermind, got it.. thanks
Did the new Instagram API affect the Instagram functionality of this theme? I can't get it to work. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am not sure. It seems to be working on my end. Try it with a different user id like 2712049 on my demo. If it doesn't work, I am assuming it's something to do with your access token.
What is the redirect URI?
Try any page in your site.
FYI, the utility to get your access token at jelled.com isn't working for me, I used http://blog.pixelunion.net/instagram instead to get the token and it worked fine, YMMV. Things are still weird since the new API, IMO. Thanks for your help. Great support.
Ok, thanks for the info!
Can you also tell me how to reduce the padding between the logo and the page title? Thanks.
Are you talking about the homepage or the other pages? Vertical padding or horizontal padding?
The homepage, vertical padding between logo and page title. Thanks for your help.
I figured it out. I appreciate your help.
Great! Thank you!
How can I remove the white bar at the top of the gallery and the contact page? Thanks again for the great support.
The white header bar? There isn't one on the contact page. Go to style.css and look for
body.separate, body.page-template-gallery-php, body.page-template-portfolio-php, body.blog, body.page-template-blogroll-php, body.single-portfolio, body.page-template-blog-php, body.page-template-media-php, body.search {background:url(img/body-bg.gif) repeat-x top #f6f6f6 !important}If you want to remove the white header, then just delete body.page-template-gallery-php from the above. If you want to set this page to a particular background such as black you would do for example
body.page-template-gallery-php {background:#000 !important}The default background is white.
That was very helpful. Thanks so much for the consistently great support.

As May draws to a close, we've just about recovered from some recent and fun 2015 Nashville team building programs. Nashville remains a hot destination for conferences and we're glad to be able to bring our music team building to visiting groups. We usually help companies or associations create songs about the work they do, but a couple of weeks ago, we worked with a tour group of RV owners…a bit different for us. We took advantage of an opportunity unique to Nashville team building programs – we held the event at the famed Oceanway recording studio. As you might imagine, each of the four teams we worked with came up with colorful lyrics about life on the road and… Read more »
Our Team Building Chicago Program
Our team building Chicago program last week at the Renaissance Chicago downtown was really memorable, and in a good way! We led a group of 125 attorneys from across the globe through our music team building program. This international group was comprised of people who spoke many different languages, brought together by an alliance of services they offer in human resource law. I love when we have the opportunity to work with global companies because we get to prove the power of music as a universal language. Music is a great leveler, allowing people of different seniority and different experience to work as peers. And sometimes hierarchy gets stood on it's head, as junior team members with musical experience get… Read more »
Team Building Detroit
Music and the Motor City go hand in hand. So it's a natural fit when we get to facilitate our team building Detroit program.

Here's how it works. Our Client's Goals Provide an activity that enables everyone to interact and have fun together Utilize the talents of our client's musical employees Reinforce the conference theme of transformation There's real value in taking time to have fun as a team.

Atlanta Team Building
The second week of 2015 found us headed south for a fun Atlanta Team Building event. We worked with a leadership group from SunTrust commercial real estate. This team of leaders comes together every year to focus, align goals and get charged up for the year ahead. As a follow up to last year's drumming program, our Atlanta team building provided a motivational kick-off in which everyone came together to create a song about their vision and shared experience. Meeting Our Client's Goals Our client wanted to get attendees energized for the conference by kicking it off with a inclusive, and energetic presentation. They wanted to have fun and do something creative and physically engaging They wanted to provide continuity… Read more »
Denver Team Building
We opened 2015 with a great Denver Team Building event. IHS Automotive recently acquired Polk. This new team of leaders wanted an out-of-the-box program that would enable their recently formed unit to share quality time and better envision who they are. There are growing pains when one company acquires another. Our Denver team building program provided a wonderful setting for people from across the globe to mix, mingle, make music and work together. Meeting Our Client's Goals Our client wanted to find a fun and engaging way to reinforce the transformational themes that were being introduced. They wanted people to get out of their comfort zone and discover common ideology and vision. A primary objective was to create an environment… Read more »
Music Team Building in Baltimore
Baltimore is in our event rotation. It's a destination city with a wonderful downtown waterfront harbor area that attracts corporate meetings and conventions. I always enjoy the opportunity to lead our music team building Baltimore programs and to spend time in that great city. So I was excited when Sodexo asked us to work with their Offer Development team in November. Team Building Client Goals The Sodexo Offer Development group wanted to find an interactive icebreaker program that would speak to the challenges required of a team focused on creativity and innovation. They wanted to provide an experience that would help a newly formed team bond in a short period of time, keeping everyone together, yet providing plenty of interaction…. Read more »
Music Team Building Indianapolis
Songwriter Rusty Tabor drove north from Nashville, I drove south from Chicago, and we met for our music team building Indianapolis program to work with eighty supply chain leaders from Cummins. arCapa, a business leadership consulting and coaching company based in Indianapolis, brought us in as part of a day-long session with this corporate group from Cummins. The event was held at IvyTech Community College. They have a great facility with conference and event space.

Music Team Building in Nashville
Talk about good press. Nashville's been featured as the It City in 2014 in so many publications. And our music team building Nashville programs have doubled this year. I like to brag about our worldwide footprint and how we travel the globe delivering our team building programs, but it's been really nice to have so many opportunities this year to make music in Music City! We've recently led programs for Piedmont Natural Gas, Owen Graduate School at Vanderbilt University, the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the community based Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville. Upcoming are programs for PeerNet, National Lifespan Respite Coalition and the Association of Otolaryngology Administrators.

Fun Team Building
As soon as I saw the thumbnail from this video I knew I had to write a blog around the image. Title: Fun team building. What else could it be?!? And how well the picture and video below communicate the intense fun had by all at our recent program for the Owen Graduate School of Business at Vanderbilt University. As part of orientation, Owen staff thought it would be a natural to welcome students to Music City by having them make music themselves. Table groups broke into teams, with each team creating lyrics to a well-known melody. With twelve teams working separately, yet sharing the same ballroom, spontaneous laughter broke out from all corners and the energy level intensified as… Read more »
Team Building Drumming In Chicago
It's fun, it's scary and it's thrilling when we try something new that comes out better than expected. Our team building drumming in Chicago, for Boehringer Ingelheim at the Swissotel, was all of the above. Part of this client's goals were to challenge everyone to try something new. But this team building drumming program had other important elements that made it unique. These elements make up what we call our drum song program. When we led this corporate drumming program we brought it beyond the visceral aspect of simply banging on the drums, although that's quite fun. We put together a program based on Boehringer Ingelheim's goals for their Oncology Franchise conference. Team Building Drumming In Chicago Goals Bring members… Read more »

The General Services Administration is advertising to fill more than a dozen jobs and has approved hiring more than 40 employees since July, when the agency's top official announced a "targeted hiring freeze" in the wake of ongoing spending scandals.
The agency disclosed the recent hires after The Washington Times raised questions this week about an online, internal chat in which a GSA official noted that there was "no hard hiring freeze" and the agency continued filling critical positions.
Indeed, more than a dozen GSA jobs were posted on a federal government hiring website as of Tuesday. Vacant positions included building manager, information technology specialist, contract specialist, realty specialist, financial management analyst, performance manager and appraiser.
In separate correspondence obtained by The Times, GSA Chief People Officer Anthony E. Costa recently told department heads that while organizational performance awards were being eliminated throughout the agency, "This will not affect individual bonus awards" for fiscal 2012.
Taken together, the comments by Mr. Costa show that amid the well-publicized crackdown on bonuses and hiring, both practices continue in some form as the GSA finds itself the focal point of ongoing congressional scrutiny and what agency officials describe as a "top to bottom" internal review.
A spokesman for the agency said the hires are consistent with the GSA's public statements because officials had announced a "targeted hiring freeze."
"During the targeted hiring freeze, GSA has filled some key positions that are necessary for the agency to fulfill its mission, which is in accordance with the original terms restricting hiring throughout the agency," GSA spokesman Dan Cruz said.
"For example, hiring has included roles that are critical to managing and repairing federal buildings, processing federal contracts and leading the agency's major division," he said.
Since July, 43 positions were approved during the freeze, though some were well into the hiring process when the freeze was announced, Mr. Cruz said.
GSA acting Administrator Daniel M. Tangherlini announced a targeted hiring and bonus freeze over the summer. In a July memo, he said even with the freeze, there would be a process to fill "critical vacancies." He also said the GSA had more than 15 types of performance awards, a system he said lacked transparency. GSA has come under scrutiny for tens of millions of dollars in bonus payouts for employees over the years.
"I believe that performance awards should be issued for exemplary service that goes above and beyond the basic, expected level of service," Mr. Tangherlini wrote.
"Therefore, we are going to undertake a comprehensive review of the performance management and awards system, which will include [Senior Executive Service] and non-SES employees and encompass individual and organizational performance awards."
On Oct. 4, Mr. Costa and the agency's chief financial officer, Gary Grippo, sent a separate memo to regional administrators, managers and supervisors about bonuses. Citing "intense fiscal pressure," the memo announced that the GSA was scrapping "organizational performance awards," redirecting money instead for "direct mission purposes and meeting GSA's essential obligations."
But if GSA employees were upset about the move, not all of the news was bad: "To be clear," Mr. Costa's memo also noted, "this decision applies to organizational performance awards, not individual performance awards."
Under GSA rules, employees could receive both kinds of bonuses in the past. Organizational bonuses are cash awards given to groups of employees. They're the same sorts of awards that were doled out at a 2010 Crystal City event during which the GSA spent about a quarter-million dollars for a one-day gathering that featured a drumming troupe, catering charges, hors d'oeuvres, a violinist and a guitarist.
Details about the conference surfaced this year after The Times sought details about it through a Freedom of Information Act request. Congress also is investigating dozens of GSA conferences spanning Democratic and Republican administrations.
Participants at the Crystal City event included Susan F. Brita, a deputy GSA administrator who was widely praised for helping expose an earlier wasteful conference in Las Vegas. Mr. Costa didn't attend the Crystal City event, but he was present and participated in a skit for the Las Vegas gathering, which cost $800,000. The conference included clowns, a mind reader and in-room parties.
The GSA administrator at the time, Martha Johnson, and several other top officials were forced out in the wake of news about the Las Vegas conference this year, resulting in Mr. Tangherlini's appointment.
While dozens of employees have been hired and individual bonuses appear safe for now, Mr. Cruz said, the reforms are on track.
"GSA leadership has suspended all organizational performance awards, cut bonuses for senior executives by 85 percent and announced at a recent congressional hearing that additional cuts will be made to individual performance awards," he said.

Talk Like TED: the 9 public-speaking secrets of the world's top minds by Carmine Gallo is now available at the Barrington Area Library.
Do you have an important presentation to give? Are you pitching an idea to your boss or to potential clients? Carmine Gallo's book, Talk Like TED, helps you take public speaking to the next level.
Say goodbye to boring PowerPoint presentations and learn to deliver more persuasive, engaging, and energetic talks. Since 1984, innovative thinkers have delivered hundreds of TED (Technology- Education- Design) Talks around the world that leave an incredible impact on their audience and then spread virally online. Gallo, a communications coach, speaker, and author, analyzed these TED Talks and explains the key factors that make a speech go from mundane to memorable. The nine suggestions given in Talk Like Ted include tips such as perfecting the art of storytelling, having a conversation instead of talking at people, delivering jaw-dropping moments, sticking to the 18-minute rule, and using multisensory descriptors. Gallo gives examples from TED talks about how the speakers utilized these concepts, and provides suggestions so you can adapt them into your own presentations. This is a must-read for improving communication and public-speaking skills in any business sector.

Mexican Chicken Alfredo Recipe
4.5 52
One family member likes Italian; another likes Mexican. They'll never compromise when this is on the menu. —Tia Woodley, Stockbridge, Georgia
- 1 package (16 ounces) gemelli or spiral pasta
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
