On the Category page, at the bottom there are two banners, they say sample bnanner. How can I turn these off? Also are they connected to the one on the homepage?
never mind, I did not realize that for this element we needed to clear the cache. I have it working now.
I have a related question. I turned block_left_bottom and block_category_below_collection off, then when I turned them back on the sidebar breaks the page. When I turn block_left_bottom and block_category_below_collection off it works fine, and if I turn them both off the page works fine. If I turn block_category_below_collection on and block_left_bottom off the page breaks and if I turn block_category_below_collection on and block_left_bottom on it breaks the page. Any Idea what could be causing block_category_below_collection to break the page?
It's just that you must have some invalid HTML (e.g. not closed HTML tag etc.) inside one of these blocks. Invalid HTML can break page layout. Enabling/disabling blocks can't cause any issues.
Kind regards
this is what I have for the block_left_bottom

Custom Block (bottom)

Custom CMS block displayed in the left sidebar below the other blocks. Put your own content here. There are many similar content placeholders across the store. All editable from admin panel.

and this is what we have for block_category_below_collection

I have not changed of the code, it is the origional imported sample blocks. I looked and all html elements within these blocks are closed.
HTML in your block_category_below_collection is broken. You need to disable Magento's WYSIWYG so that it doesn't process the code before you start editing the code. Turn it on only when it is needed. Go to System > Configuration > Content Management and set it as Disabled by Default.
In case you need the original content of some blocks, XML file with all static blocks can be found in the following directory: app\code\local\Infortis\<ThemeName>\etc\import\. You can also re-import all static blocks, please see chapter 7.10 Theme Installation in the user guide for details.
thanks, I looked at the default content, and I saw the div that was missing. Thanks for your help
The issue that you are having is a CSS issue, you just need to adjust the width of the category/column heading. Try this style: #nav li ul a span{}
manikumaran thank you very much for your message. Could you please let me know how I can get these files?
Hello, Where can I download Version 1.5.5? I'm still on 1.5.4 and on 1.7, thanks.
You can always download the latest version from your account, just re-download.
Kind regards
hello. I just noticed that some product pages are not showing correctly. It seems this problem happened when I upgraded.
product photo is usually showing up to left side and product info on the right. But product info (title, price etc) is showing up on left and photo are moved to the below of product info.
It is default theme with default css. Photo of products are different, so maybe bigger product photos are causing this problem? I thought all of photos are automatically resize. So I have never paid attention to an individual photo size.
please let me know what i need to do to fix this problem. thanks
By default all is displayed just like in our demo. You probably changed config and proportions of columns of the product page, please check this chapter in the user guide 7.5 Product Page and verify your configuration in System > Configuration > Ultimo > Theme Settings
Kind regards
When mouse over the menu bars here: www.dealsonbrands.com.au
They seem to appear Behind the main banners.
We have not made any changes to the menu up the top, or the CSS.
Other than changes to the theme itself, via the backend.
Please help.
This issue was fixed in version 1.5.2-d, please re-download the theme and perform an upgrade.
If you prefer to fix the issue without upgrading, you can do it manually. Fix is very easy, it is described in Changelog.txt
Kind regards
I've updated the theme, but it does not fix the issue.
Can you please elaborate on how to do the actual fix? Thanks.
Now there is some strange arrows on the menu bar – how do we fix this? www.dealsonbrands.com.au
It's described in the Changelog.txt. Add this line:
#nav .level0-wrapper { -webkit-transform: translateZ(0); }
in skin/frontend/ultimo/default/css/infortis/ultra-megamenu/ultra-megamenu.css
And add this line:
#nav ul { -webkit-transform: translateZ(0); }
in skin/frontend/ultimo/default/css/infortis/ultra-megamenu/classic.css
would be possible to add the list of categories on the product page in the left column and remove the right column?
Sorry for my english!!
Of course, you can configure layout (number of columns) of any page in magneto.
And to add sidebar menu enable it for the home page in System > Configuration > Menu > Sidebar Menu > Enable Sidebar Menu > Home Page (Left Sidebar)
(this option was added in version 1.5.5 so you may need to upgrade if you're using older version of ultimo).
Kind regards
Ok, I have 1.5.6 version of theme
In the layout setup: Image column width: 4 Primary column width:8 Secondary column width: 0
In the sidebar menu: Product Page: Enabled
but not show categories in the product page.
In the categories page show perfectly.
Any ideas???
You also need to enable the left sidebar for your product (open product > tab "Design" > Page Layout).
OK, I have this in each product?? there are a global solution for this??
No worries This is a standard product attribute, so to update it in many products at a time, you can use Update Attributes action in the Actions drop-down list in Catalog > Manage Products section.
Is it possible to show a short description for the products when products are being displayed in Grid View mode?
An example of a the short description I am after is available here: http://www.kerrywines.com/wine_list/index/country/Italy/
Looking forward for your help.
Additional information:
I made sure that: Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attributes
"short description" -> set "Used in Product Listing" to "Yes"
Refreshed cache and Reindexed – but I can't see the short description…
That option in Catalog->Attributes only make it possible to display the attribute in category view. But to display it you would need to modify the template file of the category view. When you want to customize a theme in Magento, you can display the name of template file of every block in the front-end by enabling the "Template Path Hints". This way you can easily check which template files you need to edit to customize specific sections of Magento. Please see this short video tutorial for more details: http://vimeo.com/1067069
Kind regards
Thanks Kehardware. I will give it a try
Hello Infortis,
I have added 3 more block_header_nav_dropdown I want to know how can I rearrange the items on the menu. Right now the categories I have created comes first and than the Static Blocks. I would like to know how to rearrange.
This is the menu order I want: Home, About Us, Products, Special Offers, News, Safety and Security, Blog, Get in Touch.
About Us: Static Block Products: Category Special Offers: Static Block News: Static Block Safety and Security: Static Block Blog: Category Get in Touch: Category
Link to screenshot: http://www.screencast.com/t/DqlsKsqM
All these elements exist in template file app\design\frontend\ultimo\default\template\infortis\ultramegamenu\mainmenu.phtml so you would need to rearrange the order of HTML elements in that template.
Kind regards
Hey. I cant seem to get the currency block to show?
You need to configure it first, after that it will be displayed automatically. This is Magento's functionality not related to the theme, please refer to Magento documentation for details, for example:
Magento user guide.
More references can be found in our user guide:
Help & Support.
Kind regards
How do I add my logo to the email that gets sent out on receipts or when someone creates an account?
Please check this section in Magneto admin panel:
System > Configuration > Design > Transactional Emails
This is Magento's functionality not related to the theme, please refer to Magento documentation for details.
Kind regards
In block_footer_column4, we want to display directions or address. and we see in the sprite, /skin/frontend/ultimo/default/images/sprite-icons-social.png that there is a directions icon in the sprite. can you let me know what the style is to use this icon?
Thank you,
That icon is not available yet (CSS for it wasn't added yet), it will be added in the next update.
You would need to add this CSS to your custom.css to use it now:
/* Location */ .icon.i-location { background-image:url(../images/sprite-icons-social.png); background-position:-207px -7px; } .icon.i-location-w { background-image:url(../images/sprite-icons-social.png); background-position:-207px -57px; }
Best regards
mollica sorry just seen your msg. type in url as below and you will get the file vibranthobbies.com/addtocart.zip
I've left reviews for this theme before but I just wanted to take the time to leave another. As a long-time member of ThemeForest I must say that this is one of the best theme's I've purchased. Straight out of the box you are offered a plethora of features. Not only that, the author stays up to date on the Magento updates and takes into consideration the feedback from users and implements it into the themes latest releases. Thank you and Bravo!
Thank you, it's really nice to hear this from someone who bought more than 100 items on Envato marketplaces.
Best regards
Hey guys, a great theme as it seems through the demo, so I bought it. After installing through the manual, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'Mage_Default_Helper_Data' not found in /var/www/qb102263/data/www/prtesting.nl/jongenskleding/app/Mage.php on line 546
The regular Magento Theme works fine, so there's something wrong in the Ultimo Theme. I can't find a solution on the internet, so please help me out. Thanks in advance!
If you see this message, there are two options:
- Magento's compilation mode was not disabled in System > Tools > Compilation before theme installation,
- or theme wasn't enabled properly. Theme should only be enabled in System > Configuration > Design (the same as it was described in the installation steps). Refer to 4.3 How to enable the theme for more details.
Best regards
When you're logged in is there a way to remove the "My Orders" on the homepage side bar like there is for the other sidebar items?
Apparently we missed it when we were creating these options. We will add this in the next update.
Best regards
Thanks! In the meantime do you know how I can just disable it for now? Is there a certain file I can remove a line of code from?
You would need to edit layout files (XML). I'm not sure where exactly is that block, you would need to search for a block named something like "reorder", "reorder.sidebar" or similar. Here you can find some tutorials and articles about Magento's layout XML:
- http://www.magentocommerce.com/design_guide/articles/intro-to-layouts
- http://www.magentocommerce.com/design_guide/articles/how-magento-builds-content#head-step-by-step
- http://magebase.com/magento-tutorials/demystifying-magentos-layout-xml-part-1/

great theme. Have some questions tho, hope its not a problem.
I would like to remove the paypal logo from the right sidebar and I cant find the right block or wherever it is located.
Is it possible to get the shortcode for the navigation dropdown style like in store #4 in the preview option? Can't find the codes in the .pdf help.
My last question would be, where can I rename the "new" badge on the new product slider? I would like to have it in my language.
Thanks for all the help.
Is there anyway to have the Brands Slider not auto slide like you can with the other home page sliders?
http://i.imgur.com/YZ6CtnV.png The link above shows the problem I am experiencing. I cannot add images to my products. Magento 188.8.131.52 Fresh Install, With Ultimo Sample Data Installed.
I have also found this error on another magento deployment, with a different theme. This problem was with my browser, and has been corrected and is not a problem with the Template, Thank you!
Many thanks for explanation. People usually ask a question and don't bother to share their solution or explain what was the problem after they already solved it, so we really appreciate your reply.
Kind regards

Awesome suit!
The suit is great. I like the rubber around the openings for your legs and waist, it keepsit from slipping.The sizing chart was a little questionable though. It said i should wear a 24, but i bought a 26 and the 26 fits perfectlyover all this suit is amazing

Great Suit!
I bought this suit just two weeks ago an already dropped 2 secs in 100 fly ans a sec in 50 fr.The only thing i would recommend with this suit is to make sure you really wrench down on the tie otherwise the water will go threw the top and bag in the but.I bought a size 28 which is what i normally wear for competition and i feel i should have bought a 26 so definitely size down for this suit.
mike s.
Pacific Palisades, CA
Fit: Feels too big
Leg openings too tight
The suit fits my son well, but the leg openings pinch his thighs, similar to FS II. We had to return it because his toes would go numb when he was wearing FS II. Wouldn't want that to happen. LZE Elites fit much better.
Plano, TX
Good tech suit
My 14 year old son wore this for his state Junior Olympics. With hard work, a good taper, and this suit, he took 14 seconds off of his 400 IM. During his 1650 he didn't tie the suit, and he felt like he couldn't take his flip turns as aggressively as he wanted because he said it felt like the suit was low. The suit did fit lower on his hips than his Fastskin 2.
Susan H
Harpswell, ME
great suit and fast
my son really liked this suit. He took 2 seconds off his fastest time. Fits true to size. Takes a little longer to get it on but worth it.
Portsmouth, VA
Son loved it!
Son loved it! Times improved! We went a size smaller than sizing suggested. I think the larger would have been too big.
Teena B.
Jacksonville, FL
Very nice suit
My son is an avid competitive swimmer and he says these are the best he has ever had, he loves them.
Frank R.
San Mateo, CA
Amazing Suit
Great suit! Feels fast in the water. Tight with good compression but doesn't cut off circulation. Keeps your legs up and alive during race.Have never added time in this suit.
Oro Valley, AZ
Dropped Time
I bought this for my high school swimmer for Sectionals/Districts and he wore it this past weekend, dropping 3 seconds off his 100 fly! He did say that on the freestyle flip turns, it felt like the butt was ballooning up and filling with water, but his times were good (but not as great as the fly--maybe there is something about the flip-turns. Overall, a very nice suit.
Martha G.
Kenton, OH
Great suit
So far my son has dropped time when he competes in this suit.
Little Rock, AR
Great jammers
Needed a new suit for State high school championship meet. Had been thinking about this suit for a while and decided it was time for a new style and material. I was not let down. This suit felt like I was wearing a second skin and moved right along with me. I would purchase again.
Too Fast to Freeze
Just as advertised!!
First blue 70s I purchased since the full body suit. Was not disappointed. Great suit!
Aaron G.
Southern Oregon
That's Good Stuff
I am a long distance swimmer, and I improved my 1 year old times from 9:59 to 9:22 in 800 free and 4:45 to 4:32 in 400 free. My improvements weren't fully because of the blue seventy, but i figure that it cuts off about 1 second per 50 (in something like long distance free) compared to a cheaper, semi race suit like a speedo aqua blade. Truly worth it if you are serious about swimming.
Singapore, Singapore
This is such a great suit, even though I know I have spent $200, it looks worth it. I am buying it for my two younger boys for Christmas because they enjoy swimming and get faster by the minute so I might as well get them one suit very good. They owned fastskins and it was great, just not the flexible type of suit. I reccomend this suit to everyone and for both of them, I got a size 24. Get this suit the most you I'll get out of it. My opinion, better than Speedo's LZRS including the Pro. I know I got my money's worth!
August D.
Westbury, NY
at first, i had my doubts about this suit. i was not sure of what to think of it because i had never owned one before, but once i put it on i knew it was going to be a great suit. i am a breaststroker, and i have longer legs than most people my height. the seam on the underside of the suit is sewed in such a way that it feels like my legs are kicking by themselves. the snap is great, the compression is fantastic, and the shape retention is outstanding. mine has lasted almost 4 seasons (two winter, two summer) and i plan on getting another one. i would recommend this to any swimmer.
Pittsburgh, PA
great suit
This suit is phenomenal. I have owned and used 3 or 4 of them and have swam in almost all of these technical suits. Speedo, Nike, etc. I have been contemplating getting the arena suit next just to see how it works, but this suit is very reliable as is. I like it better then the other suits because it feels a little higher on the waste and longer on the knees, leading me to believe that there is more material, which should mean faster suit? You'd be a fool to buy a more expensive LZR because they're virtually the same thing... And let's face it, the blueseventy logo is way cooler. Buy the suit a size smaller then what you practice in because Europeans or something make these suits.
Great suit
This is an excellent product. I tried it on, and yes it is suppose to be a tight fit, and I felt like a torpedo in the water. It's a fantastic product. Is it better than Speedo's LZR? Well, better may be stretching it, but it is without a doubt just as good. I love the fit, I love the material, and I love the feel of it when I'm in the water. Can't wait to use it at regionals next year.
Longview, TX
I wont be buying another one.
This is a good quality suit but the inner lining make it extremely uncomfortable. TYR and Speedo have it figured out with linings built into the suit not almost being a septate piece
Freddie G.
Lahania, HI
This is the best suit i have ever owned.
great suit!! i am glad i picked this
i was debating between the TYR tracer B-series, C-series and this suit. i had the money for the suits but i wanted to get the most out of my money. i spent many nights reaserching on TRY's sight and blueseventy's sight. but i ended up picking this suit. and pick a size down from your practice suit. it takes a while to put it on. i like my suits skin tight. the day the suit came i tried it on just to make sure. and i walked around my house to get the feel of it and i felt faster just walking around my house. it felt amazing. get this suit

A guy already wanted by police found himself with a new charge after they quickly saw through his fake name.
Officers pulled over a taxi at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday when they recognized a male who was riding as a passenger as having an arrest warrant out for him. When the cabbie stopped on the 300-block of 34th Street, police arrested the male passenger, but he first tried giving a false name.

April 29, 2016
ERCIS, Turkey (AP) — A day after a deadly earthquake in eastern Turkey, five people have been pulled alive from the rubble. One man's call from his cell phone led to the rescue of four of them, including two children. The survivors also included a woman who had been trapped beneath rubble for about 27 hours.
The quake left more than 270 people dead, and trapped dozens of people in concrete, twisted steel and construction debris. It brought down hundreds of buildings in two cities.
In one city near the Iranian border, about 80 multi-story buildings collapsed.
Aid groups are scrambling to set up tents, field hospitals and kitchens to help thousands of people who are homeless, or who are too afraid to re-enter their homes.
Many residents spent the night outside, lighting fires to keep warm. One woman says her children, especially a six-year-old, were "terrified."
Officials expect the death toll in the hardest-hit city to rise, but not as much as initially feared. He says there may be 100 people in the rubble.

If you are a fan, a big fan, of those famous David Glass cakes...does he have a battering, as in cake batter, deal for you.
Glass and his wife Vivie, who recently reestablished their well-known cake making business, need a car...something along the lines of a SUV or vehicle big and dependable enough to do "company" kinds of tasks.
"Do you have an extra car languishing in your garage or driveway," asks Glass in his e-blast Tuesday? "We would love to barter-partially or all the way-with cakes, if you want."
So if you have a good vehicle hanging around the yard, and are really into triple chocolate mousse, Italian almond and caramel apple cheesecake, give him a shout at email@example.com. Such a deal he has cooked up for you!

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Kevin Durant scored 22 of his 36 points in the first half to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 109-81 preseason victory over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night.
The Thunder, in their first game after playing earlier this month in Turkey and England, raced to a quick double-digit lead in the first half and weren't challenged in the second half.
With his fiancee, Minnesota Lynx guard Monica Wright, watching from courtside, Durant hit four 3-pointers in the first four minutes of the second half. He finished 13 of 20 from the field and added six rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes.
Serge Ibaka added 13 points, nine rebounds and five assists and Thabo Sefolosha scored 13 points for Oklahoma City (3-0), which played without injured starters Russell Westbrook (knee) and Kendrick Perkins (finger).
Nate Robinson and Andre Miller each scored 10 points for Denver (2-2).

Lone senior Hanna Ballard closed out her career on Columbus North's home floor Saturday, drawing applause before the Bull Dogs' contest with Bloomington North, and garnering a standing ovation from the local fans after the game.
In between the accolades, Ballard fueled her teammates with inspired play that included intense defense and scoring a career high-tying 16 points, as the Class 4A No. 1 Dogs rolled past the Cougars 59-31.
The victory clinched the Conference Indiana title for coach Pat McKee's crew with a 7-0 mark and continued its unbeaten season stretch to 22-0. Columbus North has won 36 consecutive regular-season contests and has won 41 of 42 overall. The last time the state runners-up suffered a regular-season setback was Dec. 13, 2011, against Seymour.
Against the Cougars (7-12, 0-7), the hosts got a slow start offensively until Ballard injected some energy. Her two free throws at the 5:01 mark finally put the Bull Dogs on the scoreboard, and her 3-pointer moments later gave them the lead they would never relinquish. The 5-foot-8 leader pumped in two more bombs later in the opening frame that pushed the hosts in front 16-6, and her coast-to-coast driving layup midway through the second quarter made things 32-13.
"I always try to come out and play hard like that," said Ballard, who also grabbed five rebounds and snatched a pair of steals. "This game just happened to be one where I was able to score more."
She joined two other teammates with double-figure scoring. Ali Patberg paced the team with 18 points, while Tayler Goodall added 10. Ballard's trio of treys also set the tone for the rest of the squad, which finished with eight for contest and has now knocked down a single-season record 112.
Patberg had just six points in the first half, as she concentrated on getting the ball to her hot-shooting teammates.
"I saw that Hanna was hot, and I kept trying to get the ball to her," said Patberg, who also led the team with seven rebounds. "It's my job as the point guard to find her, and she knocked down some big shots."
Any thoughts Bloomington North might have had of a second-half rally were snuffed out early in the third quarter after Patberg drained a trey and was followed by Emmy Schabel with a pair of triples during a period of just 90 seconds to push the advantage to 46-19.
The hosts maintained their 27-point margin heading into the final period before clearing the bench and showcasing their team depth.
"It was nice to win my last home game," Ballard said. "It's an honor playing with this team."
Ballard added that she'll continue to be a motivator and do whatever it takes as the Dogs close out their regular season Thursday at Jennings County before IHSAA tournament play begins Feb. 5.
"Our goal is to get back to the state finals," Ballard said. "We are a close team, and everyone works hard, so hopefully all of that hard work will pay off."

School counselor shaves child's Heat-themed haircut
(Images courtesy NBC 6 South Florida)
Goofy haircuts can be briefly distracting, especially in dull junior high school setting, where even the most mindful of students are just staring down that clock on the wall, waiting for 3 PM to hit. This is why just about every school has a dress code of sorts that extends toward haircuts, even if we're years past arguing over hair length, or Mohawks, or 1990s-styled color trends.
One thing you'd think we'd be past arguing over is the idea that shaving a logo or innocuous word into your hair would be a problem for a young student, as this staple of the late 1980s seems a little quaint in the modern era.
That apparently isn't the case for Harns Marsh Middle School in Lehigh, Florida; and more specifically, it's not the case for that school's student counselor, and assistant principal. They reportedly shaved a Miami Heat tribute out of 11-year old Danny Valdes' head without permission from his parents, after assuring the child's stepfather (who runs a barbershop and gave the kid the haircut in anticipation of attending his first Miami Heat game) that Danny would be allowed to have his stepfather alter the haircut.
Valdes' head was designed by his stepfather, who owns a barbershop, for a Miami Heat game that he attended. His head was designed with the Miami Heat logo, Miami skyline and 305 writing.
"I wanted to get my hair like that to show how proud I am of my Heat," Valdes told NBC 2.
Valdes attended the Miami Heat game during his winter break but kept the haircut when he returned to school last week.
The assistant principal then called the boy's stepfather, Arnaldo Fernadez, to notify him.
"I told her when he gets home from school I'll cut his hair and I'll make it toward their regulations," Fernandez said.
A school counselor then shaved the student's hair with a pair of hair clippers so he could return to class, saying his stepfather said it was OK.
The 11-year-old student agreed to the haircut so he wouldn't miss class, but his stepfather said he never gave the school permission.
The school said the haircut, which featured the Heat logo, Miami skyline, and 305 local area code, was "distracting" and "gang-related." That whole "gang-related" part is probably news to 11-year old Danny Valdes, who can be seen in a video on this page, weirdly not involved in gang activity.

The Columbus Fire Department encountered a taxing situation Saturday morning as all six stations responded to calls within a 30-minute period.
The first was a possible house fire at 10:09 a.m. at 3051 Beech Drive. The homeowner believed there was a fire in the attic.
Firefighters encountered minimal smoke resulting from a short in an electrical box, which was covered by insulation.
Stations 2, 3 and 4 responded. At 10:14 a.m., Station 3 was redirected to Long John Silver's, 2965 N. National Road, because of a grease fire reported there.
Station 1 also responded to the grease fire, which employees somewhat contained with an extinguisher. Minimal damage occurred, acting Battalion Chief Tim Hughes said.
At 10:20 a.m., Stations 5 and 6, from Walesboro and West Hill Shopping Center areas, were dispatched to Sirloin Stockade, 3114 N. National Road, on a report of an unconscious person.

Looper recommendations? Been out of the scene for years..
I haven't played guitar more than once or twice a month over the last several years.. I want to get back in to it, and want to buy a looper to have fun with. Does anyone have any recommendations? There are so many to choose from now.. Back when I played a lot, there was only a Boss and Digitech one, but I couldn't afford to spend that kind of money back then.
I'd like to spend no more than about $200, but if something for $250 offers a lot more bang, then I will fork out the extra 50 bucks.
i was actually researching this quite a lot while ago and there still weren't really any proper good pedals except for digitech and boss.
Namely that would be digitech jam man solo/stereo and Boss RC-3 (and RC-30 and RC-300)
The Solo is mono, stereo and RC-3 are stereo. Feature wise they're pretty similar, they all support connecting to the computer and actually storing your loops there. You can even put like whole backing tracks in them to play along. I think the jam man also had a SD card slot and i really wanted to buy it (haven't bought it in the end cuz of lack of funds)
Apart from those, there's also the Vox Lil Looper, which seems to be a little bit cheaper (at least in europe) also has some built-in effects, but it lacks the possibility of storing your loops or connecting to a computer.
A single pedal looper is a pain in the ass. Get a dual pedal, makes it much funner to use. You might wanna check out the zoom g3. It has a very easy to use looper and a ton of other things for bedroom practice
well you can also get a separate 3-button footswitch for the digitech to ease up the use of it.
Also you can't really compare the features of the looper in G3 with a proper looper pedal. Of course it all depends on what do you want from it.
Do you -only- want a looper? If you're willing to spend as much as $250 I would recommend the TC Electronic Flashback X4, which is primarily a delay but also seems to have a very good looper function. 40 seconds loop time with controllable level, and a looper that can incorporate delay (or not - you decide).
See if you can find a used boomerang, ultra easy to use.
Boss RC-3 is in your price range for sure, as is the JamMan solo/stereo. Moving up to the Boss RC-30 adds the advantage of multi-track capability. The JamMan has the advantage of using an SD card, so you can have a lot more onboard storage. The RC-3 only has 2 Gb onboard storage and no way to expand that. However, with 2Gb and 99 memories, you probably wont need any more. ;) If your good with loopers, and can play along with them real easily, I'd highly recommend the RC-30 for overall capabilities, but I think they go for around $300.00. Having the ability to store multiple tracks like one for rhythm guitar and another for drums (drum machine or whatever) is real nice.

|Article Title:
|CSP--a model for in vivo presentation of Plasmodium berghei sporozoite antigens by hepatocytes.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|One target of protective immunity against the Plasmodium liver stage in BALB/c mice is represented by the circumsporozoite protein (CSP), and mainly involves its recognition by IFN- producing specific CD8+T-cells. In a previous in vitro study we showed that primary hepatocytes from BALB/c mice process Plasmodium berghei (Pb) CSP (PbCSP) and present CSP-derived peptides to specific H-2k(d) restricted CD8+T-cells with subsequent killing of the presenting cells. We now extend these observations to an in vivo infection model in which infected hepatocytes and antigen specific T-cell clones are transferred into recipient mice inducing protection from sporozoite (SPZ) challenge. In addition, using a similar protocol, we suggest the capacity of hepatocytes in priming of naïve T-cells to provide protection, as further confirmed by induction of protection after depletion of cross-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) by cytochrome c (cyt c) treatment or using traversal deficient parasites. Our results clearly show that hepatocytes present Plasmodium CSP to specific-primed CD8+T-cells, and could also prime naïve T-cells, leading to protection from infection. These results could contribute to a better understanding of liver stage immune response and design of malaria vaccines.

Real Estate: Bubbly or Frothy?
The word of the hour is "froth." A little like foam, a little like scum, the word appeared in nine different Wall Street Journal articles within three days last week. In economic terms, "froth" is no "irrational exuberance." Yet skeptics of the current housing boom took note when Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan dropped a new sort of F-bomb at the end of a speech to the Economic Club of New York. "There are a number of things, which I think suggest at a minimum there is a little froth in this [real estate] market," the great oracle spake.
So what does "froth" mean? Well, it's not a "bubble": In his lunchtime address, Greenspan specifically noted that "we don't perceive that there is a national bubble, but it's hard not to see that there are a lot of local bubbles." In other words, a froth in the housing market may not burst, but what we find underneath it may be less appetizing than a convenience-store cappuccino.
It's no secret that the housing market has gone haywire. The National Association of Realtors announced last Tuesday that sales of existing homes leapt 4.5 percent in April to a monthly record, while registering price increases last seen in 1980. That economic iceberg would appear menacing enough, but the enormity of the speculative fervor lies below the surface. For instance, further data from the realtors trade group show that investment purchases accounted for 23 percent of all homes bought in 2004--roughly five times the historical norm. Vacation dwellings made up another 13 percent. The Fed has previously argued that houses, unlike stocks, can't be dumped at the first sign of price drops. But these rules mostly apply to homesteaded properties--not rentals in another state or condos that have yet to be built.
Like the margin investing that fueled the late-'90s stock bubble, this real estate speculation is largely being financed with borrowed money. A survey by one California research firm, cited in the WSJ on May 23, found that 2.2 million households dipped into their home equity to purchase additional real estate in the last year--double the number from a decade ago. Indeed, if you're inclined to see real estate as an economic house of cards, the joker at the bottom is the loopy lending market. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, adjustable rate mortgages made up nearly two-thirds of all originations (by dollar amount) during the second half of 2004. Some 17 percent of these were "interest only" mortgages, in which the buyer secures a lower rate and makes no principal payments for the first five or ten years of the loan.
Adjustable rate mortgages are ideal for two groups of people: strapped home-buyers who can't afford to get their name on a property title any other way, and investors who intend to refinance or resell the property before the bill comes due. Yet both groups could be laid low. The first borrower is likely to suffer if her personal income doesn't climb steeply enough to cover the new monthly hit, which could easily double. (For reference, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that wages in Hennepin and Dakota counties increased a modest 2.6 percent between September of 2003 and 2004.) The second borrower could crack if housing prices fall, leaving the highly leveraged owners with "negative equity"--owing more, that is, than her real estate portfolio is worth.
As recently as last year, the Fed chairman was still touting the virtues of ARMs despite the existence of the lowest fixed interest rates in modern history--an unseemly attempt to stuff consumers' wallets and keep them spending at all costs. But the Fed's recent actions speak to a more immediate sense of alarm. Two weeks ago, regulators issued their first-ever set of guidelines for home-equity borrowing, in an attempt to manage credit risks and caution lenders. By next year, the Fed should have new rules for the wide and weird world of alternative mortgages.
Rest assured: As it did during the late-'90s stock bubble, the Federal Reserve has recognized the risks and gotten on the case--two years too late.

have caught up with the 'cult' from Hammond, La. Ideas like employee
development, sustainability, carbon neutrality and achieving harmony with
nature are common themes in the core values statements of businesses today, but
when Neill Corp. was honing its vision in the 1970s, those new-age concepts
were strange, radical and, in the minds of some, a little flaky.
To Edwin H. Neill
II, the company's visionary founder and CEO, aligning the company's business
operations with his personal values and beliefs was anything but flaky. It was
an almost spiritual pursuit.
"Edwin was always
concerned about whether or not he was going to reach his full potential as a
human being," says Baker, who was married to Neill from 1984 until his death
from complications following cancer treatment in 2004. "That was what drove him
and so that was what ultimately drove the company."
Since its humble
beginnings as a Baton Rouge beauty supply store, Neill Corp. has grown to
become one of the leading names in the salon and spa industry with more than
700 full-time employees and annual sales of more than $100 million.
Neill Corp.'s
primary business is as a distributor of Aveda brand products and services. The
company supplies Aveda's professional hair, body and skin products to more than
1,000 salons in 10 states across the Southeast. Neill Corp. also provides those
salons with a full complement of related services, including sales, technology,
education and retail support.
Under the
leadership of Edwin H. Neill II, the company began to expand its operations in
the mid-'80s, moving beyond its core distribution business into related fields
including ownership and operation of salons and spas, salon consulting and
furnishing, technology and software development, and technical and professional
Today, Neill Corp.
owns and operates nine Paris Parker Aveda Salons and Spas across Southeast
Louisiana and a Lockworks Salon in Baton Rouge. Through its Etopa business
unit, Neill Corp. provides salons and spas with architectural and interior
design services, furniture and equipment, supplies and retail sales
Through its
technology and software development subsidiary, Extended Technologies, Neill
Corp. produces SalonBiz and SpaBiz, specialized management software for salon
and spa owners. In 2007, SalonBiz received American Salon's Professional Choice
Award for favorite software.
Neill Corp. also
operates seven Aveda Institute cosmetology schools, which train students for
careers as hair stylists, skin and nail estheticians, makeup specialists and massage
therapists. The company also produces numerous hair shows and technical
education events to showcase the latest products and teach hairdressers the
latest styles.
In 1992, Neill Corp. began supplementing its technical education initiatives with
business education for salon and spa owners. Neill Quality College combines
personal and professional development in a curriculum designed to help salon
and spa owners identify their current business situation and create strategic
plans for growth and evolution.
In the late '90s, Neill
Corp. launched Serious Business, an annual conference for salon and spa
professionals that combines motivational and personal development themes with
business and professional education. The most recent Serious Business in April
2007 attracted more than 1,200 attendees.
And as if that weren't
enough, Neill Corp. also operates Garrison's Global Coffee Bar, a coffee shop
in downtown Hammond that specializes in natural, organic and locally sourced
The indefatigable
Neill was the corporation's sole shareholder and he personally oversaw every
unit of the company until his death in 2004. Since then, management of the
family-owned business has shifted to his sons Edwin Neill III (MBA '99) and Ross Neill,
who serve respectively as president and chief technology officer, and Baker,
whose job title doesn't mean what you think it means.
"It was funny
because chief executive officer sounded really intimidating to me," Baker says
of the transition. "Because one of the things I always brought to the company
was a certain energy, one of our employees said to me, 'Debra, you know what
you really are? You're our chief energy
officer.' So now when I go to speak and I'm introduced, I make it very clear
from the beginning that CEO means chief energy
officer. That's part of what makes our company unique."
While the
company's business units were conceived to provide salon and spa owners with a
one-stop shop for everything they need, a deeper theme connects them all:
helping people to reach their full potential. Edwin Neill II believed strongly
that personal development and business development were interdependent, and
throughout his life he sought new ways both to improve himself and to improve
the organizations he was associated with.
In the late 1970s,
he and Debra were devotees of est, the California-based self-help movement
founded by Werner Erhard to help participants experience personal transformations.
Later, Neill became an early champion of Total Quality Management and went so
far as to travel to New York to meet W. Edwards Deming, the father of the
quality movement, and convince him to help Neill Corp. redesign its
distribution processes.
According to Edwin
Neill III, the beauty industry was a good match for the philosophy of his
father, who gained a great deal of satisfaction in helping customers improve
their lives and clients improve their businesses.
"It's about the
importance of working on ourselves so we can work on our businesses," Edwin
Neill III says. "When you look at the 1,000 salons in our Aveda network and the
5,000 salons that use our software, we have a lot of leverage and we're able to
impact those salons and the people who work in those salons, who in turn impact
so many more people. So, for instance, when we talk about an idea like making
sure our products are sustainable, those ideas can really spread far and wide
through our network."
Given the
company's deeply felt commitment to personal development, Edwin Neill III
bristles slightly at the suggestion that the beauty industry is about vanity.
"It's about
feeling good," he counters. "People want to look good because it makes them
feel good. The relationship between a hair dresser and a client is a really
powerful relationship, a lot of times closer than the relationship you might
have with a physician. When you look at the impact of hairdressers on people's
lives, there are millions of amazing stories."
Abner Neill Sr.,
Edwin Neill II's father, started his business career in 1932 as a salesman with
Midwest Beauty Supply in Fort Smith, Ark. In 1944, Abner struck out on his own
with the founding of Magnolia Beauty Supply in Shreveport with two partners.
The business sold professional hair care products as well as equipment and
furnishings to beauty salons in North Louisiana, Northeast Texas, South
Arkansas and East Oklahoma, eventually expanding into South Louisiana as well.
In 1968, Abner
Neill Sr. bought out his partners' share of their South Louisiana business and
launched a new chain of beauty supply stores in Baton Rouge, Lafayette and
Houma. He and his son, Edwin Neill II, who had joined his father in the company
in 19??, christened the new business Neill's Professional Beauty and Barber
"We started off
like Sally Beauty Supply," explains Edwin Neill III. "We were a cash and carry
selling items to professional hair dressers for use in their stores."
Around that time,
Neill began an association with Redken Laboratories, a U.S. beauty supply
manufacturer founded in 1960 to improve hair care through science. The company
stressed the chemistry of hair and using scientifically designed products to
improve the health and beauty of hair.
In what would
become a lifelong pattern, Edwin Neill II embraced this new, cutting-edge
concept with a passion and became a devoted champion of Redken.
Professional Beauty and Barber Supply eventually became one of Redken's largest
distributors, selling the full line of products to salons across the southeast
as well as in the Neill retail stores. Neill was the first Redken distributor
to do $1 million in sales.
Edwin Neill II was
one of the first distributors to recognize the importance of retail sales to a
salon's bottom line. Most distributors at the time concentrated on the
so-called back-of-bar products sold to professional stylists for use on their
clients. Neill observed that in this new era of the Vidal Sassoon wash-and-wear
cut think Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby" customers would increasingly be
caring for their hair at home and turning to their stylist for recommendations.
Why not sell the products yourself in your salon, Edwin argued, rather than
send your customers and their money elsewhere. Edwin Neill developed special
retail racks to display Redken products and trained stylists in how to improve
their at-the-register sales.
"I think we were
one of the first," says Baker. "Retail sales were initially a very small
portion of our business, but now about 50 percent of sales are retail sizes
sold in salons."
In the mid-1970s,
Edwin Neill II met a former hair stylist who had started a new company with a
new approach to hair care. Horst M. Rechelbacher had come to the United States
in 1963 from his native Austria and soon built a reputation as a top stylist
and salon owner.
Rechelbacher embraced
the hedonistic lifestyle enjoyed by many in the salon industry of the early
1970s, but by the end of the decade he was burned out. Seeking a change,
Rechelbacher began studying meditation and Eastern philosophies. On a
pilgrimage to India, he began investigating the use of herbs to promote good
health. When he returned to the United States, Rechelbacher started making his
own products for his salons using natural essential oils derived from plants.
In 1978,
Rechelbacher founded Aveda Corp. to manufacture and sell a new kind of beauty
product. Rechelbacher sought to create products that provided customers with
their desired look without sacrificing healthy ingredients or environmental
consciousness. In contrast to the Redken scientific approach, Aveda products
stressed natural, sustainable ingredients and products in harmony with the
environment. Every ingredient was tracked from cradle to cradle to ensure that
it was harvested and processed in a sustainable way, from the Bulgarian rose
and lavender in its shampoos to the Brazilian urukum pigment in its make-ups.
Edwin Neill II saw
this new idea and he liked it. In 1979, Neill Corp. became one of Aveda's first
"He was a very
progressive business person who was looking for innovation in design and
function," Rechelbacher says of Neill. "He was very much interested in building
organizations where everybody systematically participates in function, which
was also my interest at the time. He was an innovative thinker and he could
recognize innovative thinkers and make relationships with them."
"My dad was
definitely attracted to the philosophy of the product," adds Edwin Neill III. "He had an incredible vision about what would work. A shampoo made out of
cloves? That was really on the edge back in '79."
"It was a real
challenge," says Baker, who sold Aveda products when the company first began
distributing them. "This was the height of sex, drugs and rock and roll, and I
was out promoting aroma therapy and natural and environmentally sensitive
ingredients. They were looking at me like, 'What are you talking about?'"
Neill Corp.
continued to sell other brands in addition to Aveda, but Rechelbacher, who
would become a personal friend of the Neills, relentlessly pushed Edwin to sell
Aveda exclusively. "I think he finally became convinced that less is more, and
if you focus on less, it will become more," says Rechelbacher. "I think Edwin
got that idea, but it took some negotiating. He had a huge appetite for
business and always had five or six new start ups."
By 1991, Neill
Corp. sold Aveda products exclusively. In the years since that decision, Neill
Corp. has become almost synonymous with Aveda, working closely with the
company, since 1997 a unit of Estee Lauder, to plan strategies and educational
Edwin Neill II was
always addicted to the new, to the next great idea. Throughout his life he
pursued knowledge with a relentless passion, whether it was a new
self-improvement concept or the latest management theory, and he spread that
knowledge with evangelical fervor.
"My dad had an
incredible ability to connect with people," Edwin Neill III says. "He was
always present. He went to every industry conference and event. I think that
really put him in a position where, when these great new things came along, he
was there."
"Edwin always
wanted to have the latest, greatest idea he could find and the person it came
from," adds Baker. "He was never satisfied with the consultant out there
teaching somebody else's stuff. He would always say I want to go to the
He was also
himself one of the true visionaries of the salon business, a man whose ideas
helped shape the industry.
"One of the things
he would say a lot, which I loved, was the quality of your life is determined
by the quality of your decisions, and the quality of your decisions is
determined by the quality of your thinking," says Edwin Neill III. "If you can
work on your thinking, then good decisions will flow and a good life flows from
good decisions."
In 2003, Edwin and
Debra traveled to Dallas for a screening at the Cooper Wellness Center in
Dallas that was intended to be a preemptive measure to ward off illness.
Instead, Edwin was told he was suffering from Hodgkin's disease.
For a man with no
symptoms who had spent his life in pursuit of health, it was a devastating
discovery. Edwin devoted himself to beating the disease, using both alternative
therapies and Western medicine. He died on Feb. 28, 2004, just a few weeks
before his last scheduled chemotherapy treatment.
"Edwin planned to
live to be 150 years old," Baker says. "No one expected him to leave us at 64
years old."
Always searching
for new sources of information, Edwin Neill II had joined the Tulane Family
Business Center in 1995 to take advantage of the center's research, programming
and consulting services for family business owners as well as to network with
other businesses. That decision ended up being one of his wisest. With the
assistance of the Family Business Center, Neill and his family formalized and
signed a succession plan one of the most important and often-neglected needs
for family businesses-just weeks before he died.
"Edwin was a visionary second generation patriarch who led Neill Corp. to new vistas,"
says John Elstrott, executive director of the Levy-Rosenblum Institute for
Entrepreneurship, which oversees the Family Business Center. "He sought the
assistance of the center to ensure that Neill Corp. would grow and prosper into
the third generation. Fortunately Edwin engaged multiple family members and key
managers in Family Business Center programming, so with Edwin's unfortunate
early passing it was natural for the succeeding family members to turn to the
Tulane Family Business Center for assistance with the transition."
"Our succession papers were signed 30 days before Edwin passed away," Baker says. "We didn't get it done as quickly as we should have, but thanks to our participation in the Tulane Family Business Center, we got it done."
"The Family
Business Center was tremendously valuable to us as a family business," adds
Edwin Neill III. "My dad was always in search of knowledge and the Family
Business Center was a great source of ideas and information."
Edwin Neill III
had grown up working in the family's retail stores, but after graduating from
LSU he opted not to join the family business. Instead he went to LSU Law
School, where he served as a senior editor of the Law Review, and upon
graduation got a job with the New Orleans law firm of Stone Pigman. Neill
practiced law for six years before joining Neill Corp. in 1997 as CFO.
According to
Neill, his father not only didn't want him to go to law school, he didn't even
want him to go to college. Edwin Neill II wanted his son to join the business
right out of high school. Edwin III, however, resisted.
"Everybody likes
to have a feeling of independence," he says. "When you're working for the
family business and that's all you've ever done, I think you always have in the
back of your mind a feeling that you can't branch out. When I came back to the
business after getting a job with one of the best law firms in the city and
being successful for six years, I think I really had a lot of credibility
beyond the fact that my last name is Neill."
In the wake of his
father's death, Neill took on the title of president. In that role, he oversees
the business units and manages the finances of the company. While his father
managed by inspiration, Edwin Neill III has added a touch more oversight.
"One of the
transitions we went through after my dad died was we had always been a
family-first family business," Neill says. "Now we've changed to a
business-first family business. When my dad was running the business, he was
the sole shareholder. Now there are many shareholders. There's a certain way
you can make decisions when you own it versus when the ownership is more
distributed. So while we love and care for our family members, our business
concerns have to come first."
Under Edwin Neill
III's management, the company has streamlined its operations, concentrating on
the core business areas of the Aveda distributorship, salons and schools; educational
events and initiatives; and technology and software development. The company
has also continued to develop its real estate holdings. Edwin Neill II began
buying dilapidated properties that surrounded the company's headquarters in the
1980s. Today, Neill Corp. owns more than 50 properties in and around downtown
Hammond, and the company has been renovating and redeveloping many of the
historic properties. In 2008, the company completed the historic renovation of the Cate
Building, an Arts and Crafts building in downtown Hammond, into six luxury
apartments and retail space housing a bookstore and an organic market.
Edwin Neill II's successors have changed a few things about the company since
his death, Edwin Neill III is proud to say the vision remains unchanged-helping
clients to realize their potential. "When a customer lets us know how much
Neill Corp. has helped them with their business, I think that gives me the most
satisfaction about my job," he says. "I see that as continuing what my dad
built, and that makes me feel good."

P.E. Central Lesson Plan: Zorro Tag
Suggested Grade Level:3-5
Materials Needed:Cones for boundaries; 3-5 foam noodles or pipe insulators; and 4-6 Frisbees
Lesson Plan:Description of Idea
Set up cones to establish boundaries. Select 3-5 students to be Zorro/Zorra and give these students a foam noodle to tag other students on the back. The Zorro's/Zorra's may also wear an eye mask (optional). Select 4-6 students to be Protectors and give these students a Frisbee (shield) to free tagged or frozen students. Protectors can not be tagged by the Zorro's/Zorra's.
Have all students spread out in the playing area. On the teacher's "GO" signal, the Zorro's/Zorra's will try to tag the students who do not have a shield (Frisbee). If a student is tagged by a Zorro/Zorra, he/she is frozen until a Protector hands off or tosses them a Frisbee. Once the frozen student receives a Frisbee, he/she becomes the new Protector and play resumes. Make sure to stop the activity to change Zorro's/Zorra's and Protectors.
Play the music from the movie, The Mask of Zorro, during the activity.
Teaching Suggestions:
Have students travel at a safe speed to avoid collisions.
Change the locomotor movement (i.e., walking, skipping, leaping, etc.).
Demonstrate how the Zorra's/Zorra's should appropriately use the foam noodle to tag other students on the back.
If the Zorro's/Zorra's wear an eye mask, make sure they can see through the mask properly.
Have the Protectors hand off Frisbees to frozen students first. When students are ready, then have the Protectors toss the Frisbees to frozen students. Focus on accuracy since a frozen student can not move to pick up a Frisbee.

GM Unveils Chevy Volt MPV5 Electric Crossover Vehicle
Posted By Brit Liggett On April 22, 2010 @ 3:00 pm In automotive,Green Transportation,Innovation | 4 Comments
You've probably noticed that we at Inhabitat are super excited for the commercial release of the Chevy Volt in the US [2]. Well it turns out that General Motors [3] has another extended range electric Volt model under their belt! Tomorrow at the Beijing Auto Show GM will reveal the Chevy Volt MPV5 — a larger version of the Volt Sedan that seats five and has an amazing amount of cargo space in the rear. Could this be the eco-soccer mom's ride of the future [4]?
This new concept car runs on the same engine as the Chevy Volt [6], although because of its larger size it has an estimated all-electric range of 35 miles — instead of the volt's 40 miles. After the battery has been depleted a small gas generator sustains the battery charge for an extra 300 miles. The new Volt MPV5 even borrows some design elements from its smaller sister — from the dashboard to the tail lights they've got the same streamlined, efficient style.
However this larger car will reach a whole new group of people with the need for roomier vehicles [4]. With 30 cubic feet of space behind the second row of seats and 63 cubic feet of space with the seats folded, this crossover vehicle could haul a lot of mulch to your garden on it's clean electric charge. Though the vehicle is still a concept, we'd love to see this green machine zipping along the highways.
