[ADOBE DREAMWEAVER CS5.5 MULTISCREEN AUTHORING] Hi, I'm Scott Fegette, senior product manager for Dreamweaver. I wanted to talk a little bit about Dreamweaver's specific multiscreen authoring features today. So we've got a website here. This is a standard website, and it's very common today to have clients come to us and say, "I just looked at my website on device X, and it just didn't look right." "Is there anything you can do to help this look a little bit better?" First up, we can see that this is definitely built for a desktop site. It's got a nice wide three-column layout. There's a lot of things we may want to do, but first and foremost we just need to set the project up to work this way. So the Multiscreen Preview panel is how we get started. By kicking in to the Multiscreen Preview panel, you can quickly get three different resolutions--desktop, tablet, and phone-- and view each of these resolutions appropriately as we add CSS 3 media queries to actually separate these interfaces and make them more specific. So what we want to do is first jump in to the Media Queries dialog and take a look at what's here. CSS 3 media queries let you simply give a different style sheet to a browser based on certain rules. In the case of Dreamweaver's feature here, we're mostly looking at screen width. So based on screen width, a different style sheet will be applied based on what type of device you're using. We have the ability to write media queries just to the document, so it's just really quick and dirty work. Or if we plan on doing a lot of work in our site around multiscreen development, we can click the sitewide Media Queries file and have these saved to where you can share them and reapply them across different files. If you want to just get started quickly, just click the default Presets button, and you'll get the phone, tablet, and desktop resolutions set up. From here, selecting each one of them will let you then add specifics. We start out with basically 320 pixels is the max width for phone, 768 pixels is the max width for tablet, and desktop is anything 769 pixels and above. From here let's just go ahead and attach some CSS files to each of these. So we've already created some. I'm going to go ahead and choose one for my phone. Let's jump in to the CSS area, the mobile CSS. We'll attach that to our phone media query. Let's attach the tablet one. Click Use Existing File, tablet.css. We've attached that. And then let's go to desktop, and we'll choose the large file that we are using for our basic CSS right now, which is main.css. Once we attach these, we've basically set Dreamweaver up to now let us work with each of these resolutions independently. So once we've set up the project, we can come back in to Dreamweaver, and now we can start building out CSS appropriate for each of these screen resolutions. So right now you can see we're still at full size, so we're not exactly getting the benefit of media queries. There's a number of ways you can actually preview what your multiscreen res looks like in Dreamweaver. The main way is the Resolution Management menu down here at the bottom of your window. From here you can very quickly choose a variety of preset resolutions and quickly snap to those resolutions to see, for example, what it will look like on a smartphone and maybe what it will look like on a standard tablet. And you can see we're already getting those very specific CSS interfaces for each one of these. This is a really quick way for you to take your site, get it up and running fast on multiscreen, and use your existing CSS skills to adapt each of these phone, tablet, and desktop interfaces to uniquely suit the device you're working with. We really feel that with these features in Dreamweaver CS5.5 you'll be able to take your existing sites and make them multiscreen aware in a matter of minutes, if not hours-- a lot easier than it's been in the past. I hope you really enjoy using the Multiscreen Preview panel. And by all means, keep posted to Adobe TV channel here, and we're going to be posting a little bit more workflow tips and ideas as we go for these features so you can really dig in to multiscreen development more. Thanks a lot for listening, and we'll talk to you next time. [ADOBE DREAMWEAVER CS5.5 OVERVIEW]

|Martian insects (extinct)

Alpha Quadrant
|United Federation of Planets
Template:Disambiguate Mars (or Sol IV) was the inhabited fourth planet of the Sol system. It was located close to the asteroid belt and had two moons, one of which was Deimos. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Changeling"; VOY: "One Small Step")
Planetary data
Mars was a terrestrial planet about half of that of Earth's radius with a thin atmosphere. The reddish-orange color of the Martian surface was due to the presence of iron oxide, also known as hematite. (VOY: "Lifesigns")
Due to its similarity with Earth, scientists believed Mars might hold life as well. In the early years of space exploration, various theories and projects were made to justify this. Eventually, scientists from Earth discovered microscopic evidence of ancient life on Mars in 1996 in the form of insects. Larger fossils were discovered later on. (TNG: "The Last Outpost", "Datalore")
In 1947, several members of the United States military thought Quark, Rom, and Nog were from Mars. Jeff Carlson and Faith Garland wondered if they might be able to have their honeymoon there. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
The 1970s was the beginning of the Mars projects. These projects, both manned and unmanned, explored the planet. (VOY: "11:59")
In 1997, the NASA rover Sojourner became the first vehicle of its type to explore Mars; the location later became a Mars Heritage Site. (ENT: "Demons")
In 2032, a manned Earth mission to Mars, the Ares IV, took place under the command of Lieutenant John Kelly. (VOY: "One Small Step"; ENT: "Demons")
Having been completed in 2012, the Millennium Gate served as a model for the first colony on the red planet. It pioneered many new technologies and scientific principles like a coverage by highly-reflective solar panels and being constructed as a self-contained biosphere. (VOY: "Lifesigns", "The 37's", "11:59") By 2069, Utopia Planitia was colonized. (ENT: "Terra Nova") The Martian colonies were established in 2103. Mars was visited by the Redjac entity who killed eight women of the Martian colonies. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
As of the mid-2150s Humans installed a verteron array to redirect comets toward the polar caps for the purpose of terraforming. In 2155, Terra Prime - under the command of John Frederick Paxton - moved the Orpheus Mining Colony from Luna to Mars and hijacked the device in order to attack Starfleet Headquarters. Thanks to the efforts of Commander Charles Tucker III, the array fired harmlessly into the San Francisco Bay. (ENT: "Terra Prime")
In 2254, Mars was seen on a map depicting the inner Sol system. This map was scanned by the Talosians. (TOS: "The Cage")
Mars was featured in a nonsense two-line poem that Charlie Evans forced Spock to recite in 2266: "Saturn rings around my head, down a road that's Martian red." (TOS: "Charlie X")
In 2267, Mars was seen on a chart depicting the Sol system. This map was scanned by Nomad. (TOS: "The Changeling")
In 2268, James T. Kirk argued in favor of having Sargon and his companions take over the bodies of the crew, and emphasized the benefits that it might possibly have on mankind, he explained, "they used to say if man could fly, he'd have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon or that we hadn't gone on to Mars or the nearest star?" (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow")
In 2274, Mars served as the launch point for the colony ship SS Artemis. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
In 2363, the USS Enterprise-D was commissioned at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. (Star Trek: The Next Generation, set artwork)
In 2364, the Enterprise-D was launched from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", set artwork)
In that year, a painting of Mars and its moon, Deimos, was seen in guest quarters on the Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Heart of Glory")
In 2372, Captain Benjamin Sisko and Constable Odo planned for Joseph Sisko and Jake Sisko to take a transport to Mars to avoid being caught in Admiral Leyton's coup d'état. (DS9: "Paradise Lost")
In 2376, Lieutenant Tom Paris mentioned that one of his ancestors flew the first orbital glider over the lower Martian plateau. (VOY: "11:59")
The Kyrians in 3074 believed that Mars was the home of the USS Voyager, and not Earth as was the truth. A backup version of The Doctor corrected this error. (VOY: "Living Witness")
In an alternate timeline, Mars was wiped out by the Xindi following their destruction of Earth in 2154. (ENT: "Twilight")
Mars of 2371 was affected by the death of Gabriel Bell in 2024. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")
As the first Human colony on Mars was established in 2103, the Fundamental Declarations of the Martian colonies were an important step in the pursuit of individual rights. Among the first colonists were relatives of Jean-Luc Picard. (VOY: "The 37's"; TOS: "Court Martial"; Star Trek Generations) Utopia Planitia was established along with the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in geosynchronous orbit above, where many famous vessels including the USS Enterprise-D, the USS Voyager, and the USS Defiant were built. Mars was also an important part in the defense of the Sol system and the location of the Mars Defense Perimeter. (TOS: "Court Martial"; TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint" dedication plaque; TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"; Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual)
Mars was the first planet to be terraformed by Humans. Colonists originally dwelt within domed cities while the verteron array was used to redirect comets and asteroids towards the Red Planet to impact in the polar caps. This freed carbon dioxide and released it into the atmosphere, increasing the planet's temperature and water volume. By 2155, conditions in the lowlands of the Martian surface were sufficiently altered to allow Humans to roam freely without heavy environmental suits (though one would still have to dress warmly for the near-arctic surface temperatures). (ENT: "Demons", "Terra Prime")
Mars was often featured in science fiction stories of the 20th century. In 1953, Benny Russell met a vendor in Harlem who found "men from Mars" to be unrealistic. After Douglas Pabst told Russell an African-American in charge of a space station was "not believable", Herbert Rossoff angrily retorted "and men from Mars are?" (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")

Behind the scenes
An illusory version of Mars was originally to have featured in TOS: "The Cage", with "an almost fairybook vine-covered cottage on one of the rural can-farms of Mars." The story outline for "The Cage" includes not only that description but also makes mention of frequent Martian "hay rides," such as Barth races that the Colonists Grange Society is planning, as well as "a fifty-mile sled ride down the Great Slopes" on the evening after the Barth races. (The Making of Star Trek, pp. 57-58)
The remastered versions of Star Trek: The Original Series show the prominent red planet familiar from the original opening sequence to bear striking resemblance to Mars. Indeed, the producers used real photographs of Mars as textures for this computer-generated shot, showing a large canyon, which was in fact one of the most famous landmarks on Mars: "Valles Marineris", the deepest and longest canyon in the entire Sol system. Furthermore, the large cloud formation lies directly over the "Tharsis plateau", which is a region of increased cloud formation on Mars, too. If the producers really intended the planet to be Mars remains unknown so far. However, the color of its atmosphere glows pink near the day-night boundary, which would contradict this theory, as the Martian atmosphere appears blue during sunrise and sunset. On the other hand, this change of color could be a byproduct of terraforming.
In TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II", Mars was shown without any visible surface features besides the poles. Whether intentional or not, this is very similar to the planet's appearance during a global dust storm.
"The Explored Galaxy"
This chart was first seen, chronologically, in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) This chart was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game", and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".
Star Trek: Star Charts
Mars (or Sol IV) was classified as a K-class planet. In 2030, the first manned landing by an Earth ship was made by the Aries I. In 2103, the United Martian Colonies, the uniglobal government of Mars, was founded. Utopia Planitia was the seat of government. The first flag of the UMC was based on a painting of a bullfighter on velvet. In 2161, Mars was a charter member of the United Federation of Planets. In 2378, the dominant species were Humans, and there were counted 133.8 million living on Mars. Points of interest were Olympus Mons, Valles Marineris, and the Utopia Planitia fleet yards. (Pg. 32, "United Federation of Planets I")
In the Star Trek: SCE novel Aftermath, Boothby was identified as a Mars native, an homage to Ray Walston's role as the title character in My Favorite Martian.

LAOTTO, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) – A home catches fire after being struck by lightning early Saturday morning.
A LaOttoa family wakes up to the smell of fire after lightning strikes their home.
Landon Moore, whose parents own the home, says he woke up around 4:30 Saturday morning and heard a loud lightning strike. He says it was at least five to ten minutes after the strike that the family started to smell smoke and fire.
Fire officials say the lightning struck a gas line under ground and sparked the blaze. Firefighters had trouble even finding the fire as it had sparked in the heat ducts and between the floors.
Landon says the smoke detectors didn't go off right away, "They didn't kick on until it really started taking off in the kitchen, which was probably 20 minutes after we started noticing everything and started attacking it," he said.
The LaOtto Fire Department was assisted by the Kendallville, Churubusco, Huntertown, and Washington Township Fire Departments.

Templates are just a group of XML, PHP, HTML and image files that are stored in the templates directory of your site. You can edit these files or you can use the editing interface available in the Template Manager.
Before You Begin
Before you start hacking away at a default installed template, remember that any updates of the Joomla core files is likely to contain new copies of the default templates. Unless you take steps to protect your work, your modifications will be lost.
There are options in the Template Manager to Duplicate and Copy an existing template. Note that you are only copying the style of the template and you are not protected from overwrites. There is simply another entry made in the _template_styles table of the database. The template files are not duplicated into another uniquely-named directory and they will be overwritten during an upgrade.
For example, consider the case in which you Duplicate the Protostar template in the Template Manager and then modify the /templates/protostar/css/template.css file. A Joomla upgrade is likely to contain a full set of those Protostar template files. Your changes will be lost.
Copy an Existing Template
Create a new template by copying an existing template:
- Create a new /templates/my_template directory.
- Copy the contents of the original template directory to the my_template directory.
- Go to the /language/en-GB directory.
- Copy /language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_original_template.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_template.ini
- Copy /language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_original_template.sys.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_template.sys.ini
- Open the templateDetails.xml file in the my_template directory and change ALL references, if they exist, for the original template directory to the new directory my_template.
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_my_template.ini</language> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_my_template.sys.ini</language>
<param name="theme_header" type="folderlist" directory="templates/my_template/styles/header" default="" label="Header Themes" description="HEADER THEMES DESCRIPTION" /> <param name="theme_background" type="folderlist" directory="templates/my_theme/styles/background" default="" label="Background Themes" description="BACKGROUND THEMES DESCRIPTION" /> <param name="theme_elements" type="folderlist" directory="templates/my_theme/styles/elements" default="" label="Primary Elements" description="PRIMARY ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION" />
Discover the New Template
Now the new template must be introduced to your Joomla site through the discovery process.
- Go to Administrator > Extensions > Extension Manager > Discover.
- Click the Discover icon.
- Select your new template.
- Click Install.
If successful, the new template will now be available in Administrator > Extensions > Template Manager. Make the new template the default template. View the site to verify it.
Editing the Template
In the Administrator, select Extensions > Template Manager. Now select Styles or Templates. Select the template you wish to modify.
CSS stands for cascading style sheets. This controls many elements of the look and feel of your site. HTML is the file that controls where positions are defined and placed. Other than that, it should be noted that, with a few exceptions, what is in the .css and what is in the HTML files largely depends on the approach of the template designer.
One common change is to use your own graphic/image. Graphics are linked to the HTML file. Simply change the reference to the image of your choice. Keep in mind that if it is a different size than the original image this may change the appearance of the site in unexpected ways.

Tin Shaker
2 comments:
- Mr. Martini said...
I absolutely LOVE this painting! It would look incredible on a wall next to "Shaken." ;-)
As for wanting to hear your subscriber's thoughts, mine would be this: A Boston Shaker, once you've gotten the hang of it, is MUCH easier to open and pour from over a three-piece (cobbler) shaker. The pieces have a tendency to freeze to each other making it hard to open to empty the leftover contents (ice, citrus pieces, herbs, etc.) after you've strained the drink.

Thanks Tim, I'm so glad you like the painting, it would look great next to "Shaken"! Can't wait for you to see the one I'm working on right now "Stir with Ice," it's turning out to be a pretty special piece. Thanks for your input on Shakers. I also prefer a Boston shaker and find cobbler's to be very frustrating when they get all clogged up.

The City of Greenville is going to take a swing at saving the public golf course, Bradford Creek.
A company hired to analyze why Bradford Creek has been losing so much money over the years presented its findings to the Greenville City Council Monday night. The recommendations include a $400,000 investment in the course by the city of Greenville, an increase of green fees for golfers, and realigning staff to reflect the business's seasonal nature, and hiring a skilled general manager.
The city council voted to have city staff develop and present how to implement and fund the study's directives.

A "reservoir liner" is specialized pointed round sable brush with a full body and a long, central tip. This gives it the ability to point beautifully while holding more color. Escoda's Series 1310 Reservoir Liner is the most spectacular of them all, perfect for lettering and watercolor detail work.
Escoda's Optimo Kolinsky Reservoir Liner is a marriage of beauty, form, and function in brushes. Snappy pristine Kolinsky hair is delicately hand crimped into a nickel brass ferrule. The short, blue, lacquered wood handle offers control for detail work.
Escoda brushes are manufactured by specialized craftspersons in Sabadell, a city in Spain's Catalunya region. Painstaking attention is paid to every step of Escoda's handcrafted brushmaking process, resulting in a piece that will be of service for years to come.
Reservoir Liner, Series 1310 — Available in selected sizes, the Reservoir Liner has a full body and a long, central tip. It retains much more color than a conventional pointed round or a thin long liner.

carbon foot printing was necessary so that Tandus could offer its customers the option to purchase products that are CarbonFree® certified through Carbonfund.org, the leading nonprofit
carbon reduction and offset organization. For a nominal cost, customers can purchase Tandus' C&A brand modular or 6 foot roll carpet and have the GHG emissions offset through a registered and credible program.
"Tandus is not only proud to be a part of such a forward-thinking approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but we are honored to have the opportunity to work with an organization such as Carbonfund.org, that so clearly shares our visions and goals for helping to reduce our environmental footprint," said Glen Hussmann, President and CEO, Tandus.
Carbonfund.org President Eric Carlson commented, "Providing products that are certified CarbonFree® by Carbonfund.org reflects Tandus' leadership in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in manufacturing. We are proud to be partners with Tandus and applaud their environmental leadership."
Recognizing that manufacturing processes contribute to the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, Tandus has employed a multi-faceted approach to reduce the carbon footprint of its US-based operations and products. From increasing its use of renewable energy to the use of waste vegetable oil to fuel its manufacturing processes, Tandus remains a committed leader in environmental stewardship.
Tandus creates floorcovering solutions that enhance spaces for learning, working, healing, and living through inspired design, leading-edge technology, unprecedented achievement toward sustainability, and an absolute commitment to continued leadership. Drawing upon each brand's individual strengths, Tandus offers its customers single-source innovative product design and technology, comprehensive services, and environmental leadership. For more than 40 years, Tandus has been examining all the ways to be a better corporate citizen and environmental steward — and then taking actions that lead to demonstrable, meaningful, quantifiable results.
Based in Dalton, Ga., Tandus can be found online at www.tandus.com.

Bar Refaeli Tops the "Maxim" Hot 100 List
"Maxim" magazine released its annual Hot 100 list yesterday . . . and LEONARDO DICAPRIO'S ex-girlfriend BAR REFAELI tops it.
--This year's list was voted on by readers, which is how STEPHEN COLBERT managed to get to #69. And Lois Griffin, a cartoon character from "Family Guy", is #85.
--KIM KARDASHIAN also didn't make the list . . . but Britain's "Zoo" magazine just named her the Hottest Woman in the World.
--Here's the "Maxim" Top 5 . . .
#1.) Bar Refaeli
#2.) Olivia Munn
#3.) Mila Kunis
#4.) Katy Perry
#5.) Olivia Wilde
Katy Perry Isn't Dating That Guy from Florence + The Machine Anymore
KATY PERRY is no longer fornicating with FLORENCE + THE MACHINE guitarist ROBERT ACKROYD.
--A source says, quote, "It wasn't that serious. It's not a nasty thing and they are still talking, but Katy told him to do his thing and they'll talk soon. No hard feelings. She's really busy and so is he."
"Celebrity Apprentice" Has Made Arsenio Hall Marketable Again
ARSENIO HALL won "Celebrity Apprentice" on Sunday night, and apparently that has totally made him the HOTTEST COMMODITY IN HOLLYWOOD.
--TMZ claims THREE networks are "very interested" in giving Arsenio a new talk show. "Sources" say one of them is NBC, the home of "Celebrity Apprentice".
--They didn't name the other two, but HollywoodLife.com claims Fox and TBS are interested. Supposedly, Fox would want him for a weekly show on Saturday nights, and TBS wants a weekday show that would follow "Conan".
--"The Arsenio Hall Show" ran in syndication from 1989 to 1994.
Bruce Willis Doesn't Think He's a Good Actor
BRUCE WILLIS reveals in the new issue of "Esquire" magazine that he doesn't think he's a great actor.
-- "I don't think I'm very good at [acting]. But I like doing it."
--Willis says that even his breakout role on the TV series "Moonlight" in the 1980s wasn't an acting stretch.
--He says, quote, "It wasn't acting. It was people telling me, 'Let's create a character who is you, so you can play him the way you are. The guy you are at night.' It was fun. Fun. It wasn't tough, although I claimed it was."
"Dog the Bounty Hunter" Has Been Canceled
A&E has canceled "Dog the Bounty Hunter" after eight seasons.
--A&E was reportedly negotiating with Dog's people for a ninth season, but the talks broke down over "creative differences."
--The show premiered in 2004, after Dog appeared on A&E's "Take This Job" . . . a show about people with unusual careers.
Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis Aren't Leaving "SNL" . . . Or At Least They Haven't Made that Decision Yet
When "Saturday Night Live" gave KRISTEN WIIG a huge send-off last weekend, everybody wondered why ANDY SAMBERG and JASON SUDEIKIS didn't get any love. After all, there'd been rumors that they were leaving, too.
--Well, it turns out they're NOT leaving. Or at last they haven't DECIDED yet whether they're going to.
--"SNL" boss LORNE MICHAELS was asked about their supposed departures, and he said, quote, "No. Who said that? No. In no way. Absolutely not.
--"No decision will be made on that until July . . . I'm not even dealing with that yet."

Was ist Joomla?
Joomla ist ein preisgekröntes Content Management System (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone. What is a content management system (CMS)?
A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to. What are some real world examples of what Joomla can do?
Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:
Corporate Web sites or portals Corporate intranets and extranets Online magazines, newspapers, and publications E-commerce and online reservations Government applications Small business Web sites Non-profit and organizational Web sites Community-based portals School and church Web sites Personal or family homepages
I need to build a site for a client. How will Joomla help me?
Joomla is designed to be easy to install and set up even if you're not an advanced user. Many Web hosting services offer a single-click install, getting your new site up and running in just a few minutes. Since Joomla is so easy to use, as a Web designer or developer, you can quickly build sites for your clients. Then, with a minimal amount of instruction, you can empower your clients to easily manage their own sites themselves. If your clients need specialized functionality, Joomla is highly extensible and thousands of extensions (most for free under the GPL license) are available online in the Joomla Extensions Directory. Here are just some examples:
Dynamic form builders Multi-lingual content Business or organisational directories Document management Image and multimedia galleries E-commerce and shopping cart engines Forums and chat software Calendars Blogging software Directory services Email newsletters Data collection and reporting tools Banner advertising systems Subscription services
Who uses Joomla?
Here are just a few examples of sites that use Joomla:
United Nations MTV Networks Quizilla L.A. Weekly IHOP Harvard University Citibank Outdoor Photographer
More examples of companies using Joomla can be found online in the Joomla Community Showcase. How can I be sure there will be Joomla support in the future?
Joomla is the most popular open source CMS currently available as evidenced by a vibrant and growing community of friendly users and talented developers. Joomla's roots go back to 2000 and, with over 250,000 community users and contributors, the future looks bright for the award-winning Joomla Project. I'm a developer. What are some advanced ways I can use Joomla?
Many companies and organizations have requirements that go beyond what is available in the basic Joomla package. In those cases, Joomla's powerful application framework makes it easy for developers to create sophisticated add-ons that extend the power of Joomla into virtually unlimited directions. Joomla seems the right solution for me. How do I get started?

Age: 28
Place of birth: Russia
Place of current residence: Moscow
What inspired you to pursue fashion?
People around me.
What would you say is your specialty?
I am always trying to know more about myself, about who I am.
Where do you find confidence in this very competitive industry?
I am always doing things that I want and like. It is the key.
How would you define the current state of menswear? Where is it headed, where is it coming from?
I am going my own way and don't look to the sides a lot.
How much do other arts (architecture, sculpture, etc.) inspire your designs?
I like photography and movies. Tarkovsky's filmography and photo album about sports in early Soviet time is the best for me now.
Where do you go to be alone? Where do you go to be surrounded?
I like to spend my holidays in St. Petersburg. There is the Hermitage museum and many small bars with cool kids.
How have you witnessed social media and digital communication alter the way the fashion industry works?
You can show your work very fast now. It gives you freedom. But if you aren't careful someone can use your ideas very fast too, and show them at almost the same time.
How do you define success for a young designer today?
You are successful when you love what you do, I think. And it is very good when you meet people who like your work. It is cool for me seeing kids skating in my stuff.
What inspired your collection for Spring?
We try to mix old-school sports things from the Soviet era of the '30s and club culture pieces from the '90s.
Give us a hint as to what's inspiring your next (Fall) collection.
Krylatskoe, the area at the northwest of Moscow.

Under the Skin is a new film that will figuratively get under your skin with its nightmarishly surreal images and discomfiting plot. Simply put, it's a slow-burning, almost dialogue free collection of bizarre images that possess a creepiness that leaves its evocative residue all over your mind well after the credits have rolled by. The film is careful to make sure that the weirdness is couched in ideas, specifically notions about perception and how we look at one another often from unfamiliar perspectives. Ultimately, the film feels as though it should have been fleshed out into something on an expanded scale with a more substantive engagement with its ideas. A perfect film, no. A must-see film, absolutely.

- Design of a compact microfludic device for controllable cell distribution
- Author(s)
- Li, Jing-Liang; Day, Daniel; Gu, Min
- Abstract
- A compact microfluidic device with 96 microchambers allocated within four circular units was designed and examined for cell distribution. In each unit, cells were distributed to the surrounding chambers radially from the center. The circular arrangement of the chambers makes the design simple and compact. A controllable and quantitative cell distribution is achievable in this device. This design is significant to the microfluidic applications where controllable distribution of cells in multipule microchambers is demanded.

I'm in love with this map. I will be looking to commission a city map in the next few months, if you take on projects I might have to look you up!
This is my first real attempt on city mapping and it came out pretty good. It was just as much work as I expected, but fun. In the last days I was fiddling with various small details and then I just had to call it finished as I could have played with it endlessly.
The hardest part was the houses (naturally), but on a good side I will be able to use them in the future projects.
I decided to name almost solely the manmade features and only in general level as its quite busy already as it is. In case anyone wants to have a version without any labels, let me know.
EDIT: This is not a WIP anymore, but I just had to make a few changes based on latest comments on fields and the sea (I had been blind to few issues there). Attached a new version...

Awesome map! And the houses are, indeed, incredibliously detailed!
Amazing detail on the houses, Pasis. As always, everything you touch turns to gold!
The texture master strikes again. Although having said that, I'm not really feeling it too much with those fields. But the buildings are amazing. Great stuff.

I was so anxious to see this map completed. It's wonderfully detailed and a pleasure to explore. Excellent work !
I so wish I had these texture-fu powers. I really like this. My only critique is I think perhaps the water/sea should be a bit darker with less texture (to elaborate, this reminds me of looking at old cities like Florence and such via google maps and the water is always darker with less texture) but that is more a stylistic choice I think.

Very fine looking buildings indeed and another most excellent map from you. Thanks for sharing. I want to do a major city map but it's just so darn daunting all those little squares...*sigh* one of these days I'll bite it just to prove to myself how exhausting it will be.

Today is the first #SundaySupper event of 2013. We are starting off with a bang too! The theme today is recipes that are on our bucket list. You know, the list of things you always say you want to do….eventually. I don't actually have a written down list, but I have some things in the back of my mind that I have always wanted to do. This is even inspiring me to make that list (on paper), and maybe share it with you later. Maybe they will actually get made then
So for this week I picked a chocolate meringue cake. I have Pavlova (which is a meringue) on my blog, but to be honest my husband made it. So I wanted to tackle it myself, and do it up with chocolate, because we all know that is how I do things. Plus my birthday was on Tuesday, so I wanted to turn it into a cake!
It did take 2 attempts for this to work out. The first time I followed a different recipe, which I am sure was a good one, but there was melted chocolate involved and it just didn't work out. So then I started again, adapted the Pavlova recipe I know works, and went from there. I used an almond flavored, freshly whipped cream as the "frosting". There is almond extract in with the meringue too, and it just pairs perfectly together. It is sweet, light, fluffy, and the perfect birthday cake! My 7 year old even asked me yesterday if I could make this again for his birthday.

Jokers know exactly how to tease the king, and you'll do just that in our Lady's Sexy La Belle Harlequin Costume. The mini dress, detached sleeves, choker, mask, and thigh highs can all be found within this kit. Half of the bodice is designed with a design of diamond shapes that fit together like a checkerboard. The same design decorates one of the thigh highs. A solid white makes up the other half of the bodice and fills in the other legging. One of the detached sleeves is made of a sheer white fabric that matches half of the skirt, and the other sleeve is created as a see through black fabric that coordinates with the other half of the skirt. The eye mask with attached wand matches to this color scheme. This lady's Harlequin costume is both sexy and playful, so wear it this Halloween to act out the part of a court joker or mime with a dark side.

|Kyūbi Chakura Mōdo
|Volume #53, Naruto Chapter #499
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #247
|Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game
|Tailed Beast Skill
Nine-Tails Chakra Mode[1] is a heightened transformation unique to those with the Nine-Tails' chakra sealed into them. Naruto Uzumaki, as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, is able to enter the form using the beast's Yang chakra. Minato Namikaze, having sealed the beast's Yin chakra into his body immediately before his death, has been able to access the form once reincarnated.
While the mode is active, Naruto gains a chakra shroud with six magatama around his neck and two distinctive pieces of hair-like horns resembling the Sage of the Six Paths' silhouette along with a swirl design that resembles the Uzumaki clan's symbol. The colour of his eyes changes from blue to orange when he is in this form and while the demon fox shroud is red and releases chakra as acidic bubbles, this form's shroud is yellow and releases chakra as flickering flames.[2][3] After forming a friendship with Kurama, Naruto later gains the additional seals that appear on his hands while in Tailed Beast Mode.[4] While in this form Naruto's chakra signature and smell are different as noted by Neji and Kiba.[5]
When used by Minato, it holds resemblance to something in between both of Naruto's similar forms; while predominately looking like Naruto's, Minato's shroud also does have the additional seals that are similar to the ones on Naruto's hands and feet, and additional magatama design that appears on his collar while in Tailed Beast Mode. The bangs at the sides of Minato's face go upwards in this mode as well.[6] There are subtle differences between their designs of the seals spread over their cloaks.
As with all jinchūriki transformations, the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode gives the user increased strength, speed, and defences. Nine-Tails Chakra Mode's increases are noticeably superior: Naruto becomes strong enough to push a fully formed Tailed Beast Ball through a multiple layered barrier with just one arm,[7] neutralise White Zetsu with a single kick despite their durability,[8] and, in collaboration with B in his full Eight-Tails form, he could also knock down Tobi's Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with an uppercut.[9] Naruto's speed is so great in this form that Killer B even had trouble determining if he had used the Body Flicker Technique when attacking Kisame,[10] he could even surpass the speed of a fully charged A,[11] as well as blitz the extremely fast Third Raikage before the shinobi had any chance to react.[12] Naruto's durability is also very high in this form that he was able to endure extreme heat with only a slight burn.[13] He could even withstand the Tenpenchii in this form only suffering some wounds. [14]
Naruto is able to use chakra arms while in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Like other jinchūriki he can use the arms to improve his dexterity and manoeuvrability, granting him increased means of interacting with his environment and his opponents. More unique to Naruto, he uses the arms as substitutes for shadow clones in his creation of various Rasengan-variants. Instead of needing a shadow clone to help him with shape transformation, he can do both with just one hand, either his own or the hands of his chakra arms.[15] He still needs more than one hand for the nature transformation of the Rasenshuriken, but this also is accomplished without shadow clones. Once the Rasengan-variants are formed, Naruto can then use the chakra arms to deliver them across long distances or, in the case of Rasenshuriken, guide them to their target.[16] Initially, Naruto tried to create a technique related to the Tailed Beast Ball: the Tailed Beast Rasengan.[17] However, he later develops a more effective version of this technique: the Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball, which is basically a miniature Tailed Beast Ball that he's able to control with the help of a shadow clone.[18]
Like his predecessor, Mito Uzumaki, Naruto gains Kurama's ability to sense negative emotions, something that not even the best sensor-type ninja can do.[19] In addition, he is capable of sensing Kurama's chakra signature, even while he was inside a chakra isolation chamber within the Falls of Truth;[20] as well as the ability to sense other chakra signatures from great distances.[6] Due to having Kurama's Yang chakra in this form, Wood Release techniques will react to the chakra's life-giving properties and mature into full-grown trees within a matter of seconds, either by contact or close range.[3][21]
Using Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was initially a risk as Naruto had to temporarily "shelve" his own chakra in order to use Kurama's, which allowed the fox to automatically drain Naruto's. If Kurama managed to take all of Naruto's chakra, Naruto would die. Shadow clones provided an additional risk, as Kurama would absorb every portion of Naruto's chakra even faster for each clone he made. Moreover, Naruto also had to be careful about the amount of time he spent in this mode as there was a limit to how much chakra Naruto managed to pull away from Kurama.[22] Despite these risks, once involving himself in the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto deployed several shadow clones while he was in this mode and even managed to remain in the form for an entire night. The Eight-Tails says this is because at some point Kurama had purposely stopped taking Naruto's chakra.[15] After Naruto forms a friendship with Kurama these handicaps no longer apply.
Tailed Beast Mode
All jinchūriki can enter Tailed Beast Mode, which grants them all the strength and abilities of their corresponding tailed beast. But where other jinchūriki become full-scale replicas of their tailed beast, Naruto (initially) enters a form very visually similar to his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. The shroud parts down the middle and opens up into a full-length cloak (haori), revealing a black undergarment with three magatama on each side of his high collar. His seal's numerous swirl-patterns, which were located all over his body, open out into complete, dark, circles. His eyes become red and slitted and his whisker-markings become much thicker, as they do in his early transformations.
Naruto's speed and strength are once more increased in this form, to the point that he was able to deflect five Tailed Beast Balls by simply moving past them.[23] His ability to create different Rasengan forms without the use of shadow clones remains. Additionally, he can transfer the Nine-Tails's chakra to others, granting them Version 1-like chakra shrouds that greatly increase the power of their techniques: Hinata Hyūga for example, was able to deflect one of the Ten-Tails' tail arms to the opposite side of the battlefield with a single Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm.[24] Kakashi Hatake estimated the transfer to be even greater than when Kurama performed it with him, which increased his Kamui three-fold.[25] Naruto can remotely control each individual shroud, such as forming tails for his allies to deflect incoming projectiles.[4] Despite the Nine-Tails' contributions, the chakra produced more closely resembles Naruto's than just Kurama's as noted by C.[26]
Naruto is able to become a full-scale replica of Kurama, but he is not "in the flesh" so to speak. Rather, the modified Nine-Tails Chakra Mode enlarges into a tailed beast-cloak that recreates Kurama's overall form, while retaining the exact same seal that was previously present on Naruto's body. As opposed to the normal nature of the chakra, it no longer burns those who touch it. It is also translucent, as Naruto can be seen inside the replica's head for the duration of the transformation.[23] Appearance aside, Naruto gains the usual advantages of Tailed Beast Mode, notably the ability to perform Tailed Beast Balls. He can even use the tails of this form as arms to interact with other large targets. Uniquely to Naruto, he can still perform his usual techniques while in this form, such as making shadow clones.
Naruto cannot maintain Tailed Beast Mode indefinitely because he and Kurama have not yet formed a perfect bond. They are improving: at first they could only last for five minutes,[23] but by the time of the Ten-Tails' revival they extend it to eight minutes.[27]
- When first observing Naruto's enhanced chakra shroud while in Tailed Beast Mode from behind, Kakashi Hatake momentarily mistook Naruto for Minato.[23]
- In the Chikara Arc, despite the fact that Naruto had not yet subjugated the Nine-Tails' power, motivated by the Tonika Village orphans' plea to save Dokku and Shiseru, Naruto temporarily assumed an incomplete version of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode after breaking free from Kurama's influence. During his brief time in the form, Naruto was able to form an incomplete Tailed Beast Rasengan as well. He was also able to enter an imperfect version of the Tailed Beast Mode, in which his seal spread over his body, forming unique markings. Much like Tailed Beast Mode, Naruto's chakra manifested into a replica of Kurama, although it lacked legs and possessed only six tails. In addition to the shroud's tails, Naruto was capable of forming chakra arms to bind his opponents while in this state.[28]

Last night's sketch was done while lying prone in a reclining garden lounger and it wasn't easy, with the sketch book held upright on my chest it made for an awkward process. I decided to just do the part of the Milky Way that runs through Cygnus and slightly south. I included Cygnus, Lyra and Aquila in the sketch but left out the other constellations in that area. I also only added the brightest stars - I'd have been there a week if I'd tried to put all of them in, as it was mag 6.5+ at the zenith!
Unfortunately, by the time I'd got as far as adding the Milky way glow the sky started to deteriorate with mist moving in.
For the sketch, I used an A4 (11.75x8.5 inches/297x210mm) sketchbook with heavy cartridge paper (my usual book for sketches), a 2B pencil for the stars, a 4B for the Milky Way and a chamois leather for the smudging. I'd never previously used a chamois leather before as it never even occurred to me, but it is ten times more effective for smudging nebulosity than a blending stump (tortillon) or finger tip is; how I'd heard about using a chamois was via Jeremy Perez's excellent Astronomy Now series Drawn To The Universe. I bought mine from Halfords (for people outside the UK, Halfords are a retail chain who sell car and bike accessories), for around £3.99. It smells disgusting but works a treat!
The sketch isn't totally complete as, looking at it again, I really should have added more stars and the surrounding constellations, such as Delphinus, Lacerta and Sagitta, etc, but I daresay I will repeat this at another time, when conditions are better and I have more time.

The Living Dead Punk Skateboarder Children's Costume has all the details he is looking for to put a little fright into his night of trick-or-treating. This package includes the shirt, shorts, gloves, mask, and choker. The coolest part of the costume is the ¾ length mask that will give a zombie appearance with a blue mohawk shaped on top and decaying, green skin. Cover up with the shirt that gives a shirtless, as well as rotting flesh, appearance in a color that matches the mask. The shorts are designed in true skater style with a baggy look, a graphic of a studded belt, and even sewn-in skull and cross bone patterned boxers sticking out. The studded choker and faux-leather fingerless gloves will help with the punk transformation of this look. A zombie is already an awesome costume to pull off, but to add the gnarly attitude of a punk skater makes it totally unique and way cooler. Your son will have his best Halloween yet with this get-up.

On balance, we would say that the economy remains mired in a sluggish growth environment. For 2013 as a whole, we would expect the economy to grow around 2%, but the year is likely to get off to a slow start due to the imposition of new taxes and a likely delay in tax refunds.
-Russ Koesterich, global chief investment strategist, Blackrock
- The debt ceiling and spending cuts still need to be addressed and present opportunities for further risk.
- The US economy will remain sluggish in 2013. Look for growth of around 2%.
- Outside of the US, we would encourage investors to focus on emerging markets, with an emphasis on China.

An Air Force Academy spokesman says 27 cadets were injured in a brawl during an unofficial ritual marking the first snowfall of the season.
According to a news release six of the cadets were taken to a local hospital where they were treated and released. Twenty-one other cadets were treated at the cadet clinic.
Brig. Gen. Dana Born says in an internal email that cadets needed treatment for injuries including concussions, cuts and a human bite in the Oct. 25 brawl.
The email was provided to The Associated Press and other media outlets Wednesday.
Academy spokesman John Bryant says the email is authentic.
The unofficial ritual happens after the first snow every year. Freshman cadets try to throw their first sergeant into the snow.
Brig. Gen. Gregory Lengyel, Commandant of Cadets, spoke with all the cadets involved. He says, "Our Air Force expects better. I expect better, and I'm confident the cadets will learn and grow from this."
