Opposition Sidelined Ahead of Test of Medvedev's Election Pledges

Russians will vote this weekend in the first major elections since disputed polls in October triggered calls from President Dmitry Medvedev for smaller parties to receive better representation in regional legislatures dominated by United Russia.
But despite Medvedev's rhetoric, regional authorities have continued to back the ruling United Russia party and derail the campaigns of other parties ahead of Sunday's elections, opposition activists and election monitors said.
Voters will elect eight regional legislatures and 12 municipal legislatures on Sunday. About 84,000 candidates are running for about 40,000 open seats, according to the Central Election Commission.
The elections will be the last to use early voting, criticized by election observers as one of the most blatant ploys to manipulate election results, and regional authorities are once again taking advantage of early voting to collect votes for United Russia, said Grigory Melkonyants, deputy director of Golos, Russia's only independent election monitoring organization.
"The most important thing for officials is to get the necessary results," Melkonyants said. "They will only think about what will happen next tomorrow."
Medvedev lashed out against the election-time use of "stupid administrative methods" during a session of his State Council dedicated to the issue in January. He also urged regional governors to respect the public's will and not interfere in the voting process.
In February, Medvedev sent a bill on electoral reform to the State Duma that, among other things, abolishes early voting. The amendments, which will go into effect in time for the next major elections in the fall, will restrict early voting to people who live or work in hard-to-access places. Currently, anyone can vote early by declaring that it will be impossible to vote on election day, and election observers often cannot observe how this voting takes place.
Melkonyants said early voting for the municipal legislature in Sochi, which will host the 2014 Winter Olympics, is of particular concern.
Several members of the local election committee have complained to Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in a YouTube video that local officials are forcing people to vote early.
"We are urging you to cancel the results of early voting in Sochi because of multiple violations," committee member Yelena Zakaryan said in the video, which is also posted on the Golos web site. The video footage shows Zakaryan standing with a group of election committee members and candidates.
Zakaryan said municipal officials were delivering voters by the busload to polling stations and forcing them to vote for certain candidates. Zakaryan does not identify the party affiliation of the candidates.
But Yevgeny Raschepkin, the Communist Party's election coordinator for the Krasnodar region, which includes Sochi, said the votes were being cast for United Russia.
"These buses have become the de facto election headquarters for United Russia," Raschepkin told The Moscow Times by telephone from Sochi.
He said Communist observers had tried to ask the early voters why they had decided to show up early and only sparked anger from the officials bringing the groups to the ballot boxes.
Raschepkin suggested that the people were being forced to vote at risk of losing their jobs.
"People depend on their bosses," he said.
Senior Sochi election officials denied wrongdoing. United Russia also denied wrongdoing in the elections.
But opposition parties said regional officials have erected multiple barriers to prevent them for participating in the elections.
Despite Medvedev's appeal for smaller parties to participate, running in local elections has become even harder, said Vladislav Morozov, head of the Yabloko opposition party's branch in the Kaluga region, located 160 kilometers southwest of Moscow.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court banned the party from running for seats in the regional legislature, citing problems with signatures the party collected to be registered for the vote. Yabloko leader Sergei Mitrokhin said the violations were minor, Noviye Izvestia reported Wednesday.
Morozov is currently one of three Yabloko deputies in the regional legislature, which like most in Russia is dominated by United Russia.
Morozov complained that Kaluga Governor Anatoly Artamonov, a member of United Russia is actively campaigning for United Russia candidates and almost daily appears on local television to endorse party candidates.
"That reminds me of the times of Brezhnev," he said, referring to Soviet elections when the Communists had a one-party monopoly.
Also this week, the Central Election Commission banned Just Russia election posters in which party leader Sergei Mironov urges people voting for the Sverdlovsk regional legislature to fight against the use of administrative resources — a nod to the regional authorities' vocal support for United Russia. The ban was imposed on the grounds that the poster mentions that Mironov is also the speaker of the Federation Council, which amounts to abuse of authority, Vedomosti reported.
United Russia often uses campaign posters featuring Putin, who heads the party, and Medvedev, but it faces no problems because it does not mention which positions the two men hold.
After the last major elections, held on Oct. 11, deputies with the Communist, Just Russia and Liberal Democratic parties stormed out of the State Duma in protest of fraud. They refused to return until Medvedev agreed to listen to their complaints. United Russia swept the elections.
Medvedev defended the elections, telling the party leaders at the time that the political system was functioning well and that their parties had failed to present evidence of violations in court.

Overclocking nVIDIA cards for fun & profit
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 26, 2007 - 04:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The newest graphics review at [H]ard|OCP is MSI's overclocked 8800GTS 320MB card. They pushed the GPU from 500 MHz to 575MHz and the RAM from 1.6GHz to 1.7 GHz, but they didn't push the price up by much. When put up against the 640MB version, the higher clock speeds pushed this card ahead, at least up to 1920*1200, and pushed past the 2900XT as well.

Madshrimps has gone to great extremes to find the best cooling solution possible for a 7900GT, by testing 8 different VGA coolers. The top cooler can't just be the best performer for this test though, they are looking for a cooler that gets the job done without hitting 73.7dB! Unless you want to scare small animals and children just to get a few more frames per second, you had best take Madshrimps advice.
Mid range nVIDIA versus AMD, dollar for dollar
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 16, 2007 - 09:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The contestants are ATI's Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB GDDR4 and XFX's GeForce 8600 GT XXX 256 MB GDDR3 card. The ATI version of that card is exceedingly rare, only the Sapphire cards are up for sale on Newegg and Pricegrabber, although the specs do remain the same. [H]ard|OCP did a fair amount of research to find two cards that are priced exactly the same (barring mail in rebate that makes the nVIDIA card cheaper), so the apples-to-apples comparison is dead on.

The Tech Report has had an interesting time trying to get their review of the HD 2400 & 2600 posted, but their persistence has paid off, and it is up. As we've seen in other reviews, these cards are lacking in the speed department, but have other benefits to offer users. The Tech Report tries to focus on some of these, like the Avivo HD that gives native support for dual-link DVI ports and HDCP. If you also consider the lower heat emission and power requirements, there are certainly applic

With the disappointing launch of the 2900XT a few driver revisions behind us, [H]ard|OCP revisits the card to see what improvements have been made, and if it can start to challenge the 8800 series. They set up a Crossfire rig to benchmark against a single 8800 GTS OC. With the falling price of overclocked 8800's, can the Crossfire setup and new drivers make the 2900XT the better choice?

Subject: Graphics Cards | July 6, 2007 - 06:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
At just under $600, and faster than an Ultra at default speeds, PNY's XLR8 8800 GTX OC is going to turn a lot of heads. HotHardware found it to never stray more than 5 fps from the Ultra, and at a noticeably lower price. It also turns out that this card can be overclocked beyond the speed it runs at out of the box, although not to the point that some 8800 GTXs have reached.

Typeisms is a coffee table style book of creatively inspiring quotes and beautiful typography. I attended the HOW Design Conference in San Francisco and was greatly inspired by the many talented designers/speakers I heard there. I kept notes on their quotes and decided to combine them with my love for typography and make a book. I'm very proud of this book and feel it is one of my finest works as a designer.

Litl Introduces Its Web-Based Netbook
Is a computer with no disk drive and no applications software still a computer?
Litl LLC, a small Boston company, says its eponymous Litl device is the future of personal computing. Litl is a Web computer with a full keyboard and an operating system designed for people who use online software like Google Docs and store their photos on Flickr or Shutterfly.
On its screen, a viewer sees 12 business-card-sized Web pages. Clicking on the desired page expands it to full screen, and the user can read the page, buy shoes or build a spreadsheet. It doesn't have icons, files or menus of its own.
The device can also be flipped up into an A-frame so the screen is visible to show photos, videos or text-news feeds that can be seen from across a room.
While this might seem like a risky time to start a new personal-computer company, Litl, is starting to sell the device online and through Amazon.com at $700.
John Chuang, president of Litl, whose computers are manufactured in Taiwan, says the device is designed for home users connected to Wi-Fi networks. Although it looks like a laptop, it doesn't function unless it is on the Web, making it impractical for travelers.
Mr. Chuang, who became wealthy by starting temporary-help agency Aquent from his Harvard dorm room in the 1980s, has been quietly funding Litl for two years. He declines to say how much he has invested, and says the company has no other venture-capital backers.
The device was publicly unknown until last week when Web site Engadget discovered some documents and pictures filed with the Federal Communications Commission.
Mr. Chuang says the device was designed to eliminate complexity for users by taking advantage of the Web to "do system-administrator things like backups and virus protection." Its keyboard doesn't have function keys or a caps-lock key in a bid to minimize user frustration.
In easel mode, users change pages by rolling a wheel on the cylindrical hinge that holds the screen and the keyboard together.
The Litl is getting some interest from larger companies. "This is a very interesting version of the netbook," says Matt de Gannon, senior vice president of Weather.com, which developed a visualization of its weather forecasts to show when the device is in easel mode. He said he was especially intrigued by Litl's ability to use the same device for both single-person use as a computer and family use as a television.
"They've merged the lean-forward and lean-back experiences" of computer use and television viewing, he says.
Mr. de Gannon adds that while the development of the weather app wasn't difficult, he wouldn't have authorized it unless he thought "there was value beyond building a prototype."
In another sign of its integration with the world of visualization, the Litl comes with a cable for connection to high-definition television screens so people can transfer slideshows and videos from photo-sharing sites to a big screen. They can't, however, use the device to upload their photos — for that, they need a PC.

The Situation:
As you first approach the Rock Garden you probably don't notice that something doesn't feel right, until…
…You get close enough to see that the crushed white granite is disturbed. The harder you look, the more jarring the
disturbances become.
What disturbs the granite?
The answer is animals — usually deer or kids. Deer have free run of the Reserve. This time one wandered through on a Saturday night.
So the question we're about to answer is: How do you rake the granite chips so that what you see in the above photo is restored to the view in the below photo?
The Solution
Restoring the chips to their original pattern requires that the gardener first restore the smooth surface between the
line patterns with a very long-handled squeegee.
In doing this, he can only stand on one of three surfaces. They are the garden perimeter, an interior rock, or on a
patterned area that will be restored later.
Next, he restores the pattern around the first set of rocks.
Then he does the perimeter lines.
Then he does the pattern around the second set of rocks.
Now he can do the pattern around the third set of rocks and step off the chips on to the perimeter.

Dianna was blessed with a mother who read to her, so she naturally grew up to be a writer. When she's not writing, she's reading, thinking about what to write, or grumbling about having to do things that prevent her from writing—things like vacuuming, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. She lives in the beautiful mountains of North Idaho with her husband, daughter and two canine buddies.
For what age audience do you write?
I write middle grade fiction novels for readers ages 8-12. All my stories so far have been realistic, contemporary.
Henry: Well that's fine, but I expect some gnomes or pixies at some future point! ☺
Tell us about some of your books.
My debut, 'A Smidgen of Sky' (Harcourt 2012), centers around spunky Piper Lee Deluna, a young girl from the South who is determined to stop her mother from getting remarried. Her dad disappeared in an airplane crash four years earlier, and Piper Lee still holds onto the hope that he might one day reappear. Plus, she doesn't see any need for a new stepdad or bratty stepsister, when she and her mama are doing just fine by themselves. My second book, 'A Million Ways Home', will be out next fall from Scholastic Press. It's about twelve year old Poppy, whose whole life is turned upside down when the grandmother who's raised her suffers a stroke and ends up in a nursing home. Although the two books are very different they both feature the theme of loss and moving ahead with changed circumstances.
What do you hope readers will get from reading your books?
I try to write stories that will make young readers laugh, hope, smile, think, maybe even cry, but always help them to see that it's okay to have strong, often mixed-up feelings about love, loss, pets, family and friends.
What aspect of writing do you find most challenging?
Getting started on a new book is the most difficult for me. I do only a loose outline so that I know the approximate direction the story is headed, and how I'd like it to end. But pounding out that first chapter is tough for me. After that it gets easier.
Henry: Me too. Getting the first draft is always the hardest.
What is a powerful lesson you've learned from being a writer?
That writing is very different from marketing. An author can do everything right and still not sell a lot of copies. Do what you reasonably can to promote your work, but the most important thing is to keep writing.
Henry: Yes, as a self-published author, I learned to appreciate the effort involved in all the various activities that go from transforming a story into a book in a reader's hands.

When users employ ssh-keygen to create RSA key pairs, the default key length is 2048 bits.
You can override that on the command line with the -b argument, but few users will bother.
As mentioned in this article, it is recommended to use key lengths of 3072 or greater if you need security beyond 2030. Is there a way to cause 3072 (or 4096) to be the default length for all keys generated? I don't see it in the ssh_config or sshd_config manual pages. Or does it require recompilation of the program?

St. Thomas Aquinas won 49-42. Advocate staff photo by SCOTT THRELKELDRiverside Academy's Von Julien, right, goes for a rebound against Salmen's Chris Vickers on Jan 25 in Slidell. Julien was named Outstanding Player on the Louisiana Sportswriters Association Class 2A all-state team. Advocate staff report Comments The leaders of the two state basketball championship teams help lead the Louisiana Sports Writers Association's Class 2A All-State teams. Riverside Academy sophomore point guard Von Julien was voted boys Outstanding Player after leading the Rebels to a 60-49 victory over St. Thomas Aquinas in the state finals in Monroe. Julien averaged 14.0 points, 8.1 assists, 4.3 steals and 4.1 rebounds per game, and his game-winning shot in the final seconds in the semifinals against University High sent the Rebels to the championship game. Meanwhile, St. Thomas Aquinas senior Amber Donnes, who carried the Falcons to the school's second state title in the past four seasons, capped by a 49-40 victory over two-time defending champion John Curtis in the title game, was voted the girls Outstanding Player. Donnes was named the championship game MVP after an all-around performance that capped a season in which the McNeese State signee rarely played a full game. STA dominated most of its opponents, but Donnes still averaged 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 steals per game. The statewide panel of prep sportswriters looked beyond the finals to honor their Coaches of the Year. On the boys side, Winnfield coach Byron King garnered top honors after directing the Tigers to a semifinals finish before losing to St. Thomas Aquinas. STA coach Errol Gauff and Lakeview's Josh Hancock also were nominated for the award. For the girls, Pickering coach Vickie Sketoe was voted Coach of the Year after leading the Lady Devils (25-6) back to the semifinals again before losing to eventual state champion St. Thomas Aquinas in Hammond. STA coach John White also was nominated for the girls coaching award after he and Gauff led their teams to the state finals. St. Thomas became the fifth school to place both of its teams in the state championship games in the same season. Joining Julien on the boys' first team were St. Thomas Aquinas senior Cody Addison, who averaged 17.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game; 6-5 Newman senior Duke Douglas (21.0 ppg.); and University freshman Wayde Sims (18.4 ppg.). Joining Donnes on the girls first team was her biggest challenger for Outstanding Player honors, John Curtis junior guard Kolby Morgan, who averaged 24.0 points per game. In addition, Ville Platte senior Breonna O'Connor (24.2 ppg), Pickering junior guard Sami Thomas (19.0 ppg) and University senior Di'Mond Jackson (14.7 ppg) were voted to the team. The girls second team also includes Doyle's Taylin Underwood (23.5 ppg), Episcopal's Mary Melissa Hoover (17.0) and Riverside Academy's Kendra Turner (16.9). John Curtis' Richard Durant (14.9 ppg) also made the second team. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

It is with regret that we announce that our 2012 stock has already been sold out due to phenomenal levels of pre order demand.
Everyone here at Novelty Christmas Jumpers has been overwhelmed with the level of interest in our products and this year we simply did not anticipate the level of demand that would present itself.
Unfortunately we have been unable to secure further stock in a way that would satisfy customer expectations, as we are now entering the final few weeks before Christmas. Therefore we have come to the decision to not restock before the 2012 Christmas period.
We understand that this may be disappointing, but please do visit us again next year, when we aim to be back, bigger and better than before!

Hi there,
I have installed the theme but everything is blank. Is it supposed to look like the demo that is set up or am I on my own to create the home page layout?
thanks for your purchase and comment robertrigato!
I would suggest you read the installation guide in our online documentation, which also explains how to import the demo data: http://goodwebtheme.com/velodoc/
Regards, damojo
got it thanks!
Fantastic! Do not hesitate to ask if a problem appears!
Regards, damojo
Hello I have a problem with the theme, suddenly the parallax background images disappear, and even if I put them again they don't appear
Why this is happening
Thank you
sorry but without seeing a link, its not possible for me to help. Unless you changed something, its unlikely that images disappear on their own
If you don't want to show a link to your site in public, you can submit a ticket at our help desk: damojo.ticksy.com
Regards, damojo
It's happening in the home page here's the link www.grupoobaya.com.mx
thanks for the link!
Sorry that I have to ask again: I cannot see any parallax background disappearing on chrome, safari or firefox.
What browser are you on? (also let me know the version)
Regards, damojo
well now its ok at the middle of the home page but it is because the parallax is disabled, if I enable it, the image disappears
could you send me an admin account to http://damojo.ticksy.com to see what is going on there?
Thanks & Regards, damojo
I have sent you the ticket with the admin details, also I'm having the same problem with another site where I used the same theme, also in this other site the tabbed content does not work here I leave you the url www.ayabo.mx
thank you
turned the parallax on and it works like a charm. I can see no problem here. Concerning your other page I guess the elements in the footer are buggy and kill all other scripts on the page that are called later including the parallax script (those elements are not present in the first theme where everything works too).
Please remove those widgets temporarily, turn the parallax effect on and check again and let me know!
Thanks and cheers, D
in the first site www.grupoobaya.com.mx the image just disappeared
Sorry but in all tested browsers, the parallax image does not appear at any time. Can you tell me which browser version you are on and how to reproduce this?
Regards, damojo
Hello I have solve that problem, now there's another thing with this site www.ayabo.mx, if yu can see all the headers have change to greay color and I don't know why, How can I put them back to their original color, white and black
set the background elements to "light-on-dark" for white headlines
Cheers, damojo
it is set like that but it doesn' change
all the headliners changed suddenly, and they don's respond if I change the option light on dark or dark on light
inspecting your site with chrome shows me the background blocks are still set to "dark-on-light".
It doesn't make sense that it stopped working without any changes. Please get back on ticksy with your login so we can figure out what happened!
Done I have rote in ticksy, thank you
Aaaand we answered there just a few minutes ago
Thank you the problem was solved, now i notice another thing, the website have a big space between the slider and the first information, just in the mobile devices, how can I solve this?
I'm sorry let me explain you if I understand well, Do I have to deselect the option "fore fullwidth" in the revolution slider settings, then I have to activate the option "full" in the option beneath the home page. If that so, then where is the option "fore fullwidth" I can't see it,
Thank you
Hello The force fullwidth option have been off in the slider all of this time and it still like that I have open a ticket in thicksy
Thank you
in slider settings set your slider to "auto responsive".
Then on your page select your slider here: http://screencast.com/t/sk90Tfta0dG
You will automatically have a full width slider on top of the page with not padding on top.
Regards, damojo
Yes that's exacly what I have done, it has been like that always but the problem persists
Thank you
I noticed you also have a ticket open in which my colleague is helping with the same issue.

Hi, I bought this theme, but when I import the dummy data, the woocommerce pages weren't included. I installed the woocommerce plugin and now I don't know how to duplicate the shop page as in the theme demo. I would like, for example, put a background image with the text at the header of the shop page, but if I use the visual composer to add the box, the products disappear. It only let me add a text editor box, but no full width bacgkround image. Do you know how to import your shop page? so I can replicate it just changing the text and image in it. Thank you very much
thanks for your purchase!
Here is an explanation of how the backgrounds work:
1. Each background element will span either to the end of the page or until the next background element starts.
2. If you want the regular white background to continue after content in a background element, just add another background element with white background color.
For what you want to do: Create a background element set to "light on dark", with an image and if you want, overlay color. Add the headlines or other content that you want inside the background. If you want the background to close, add a "dark on light" background element with a white (#ffffff) background color.
You can see the exact same structure in the included "about" pages.
Hope this was helpful!
Regards, damojo
Hi Damojo, thanks a lot for your explanation. It works good. I am always more satisfied with buying your theme. The support is really fantastic, as your theme. I wanted to ask you where I find that product carousel in the mega menu of the "shop" page, inside the demo…and even the "on sale" list widget. Where can I buy them?
Hi Damojo, may I ask you 2 more questions in addition to those above? 1) is it possibile to add a full width widget in a page? That's because if I add a widgetized sidebars in a page trough visual composer, it gives me a "narrow" widget, with a one column width. 2) how may I add a sidebar to the product category page and to the single product page? is there a plugin I can download or buy? Thanks a lot
thanks for your appreciation matteotesta2014!
For the shop carousel you need to install showbiz pro (which is included). Please consult the documentation for plugin installation help: http://goodwebtheme.com/velodoc/ When creating a new showbiz carousel you can select the woo commerce product categories you want to show and one of the velocity woo commerce template skins. Then you can use the showbiz pro widget to display the carousel in the mega menu.
Full-width widget: You can also add the widgetized sidebar to a full width row element (1/1)
On your shop page under "pages" you will find an option on the bottom http://screencast.com/t/tpONBPSf7d8 This is for single products.
For a shop overview with sidebar, use the shop short code to show your products and add a sidebar with the regular sidebar option: http://screencast.com/t/td7GrKgqt

Hi, thanks for the answer. I will continue this request in a ticket. Your support service is great!
Perfect! Thanks!
Hi – I have a pre-sales question.
Does your Velocity theme support 'Uber Menu':http://codecanyon.net/item/ubermenu-wordpress-mega-menu-plugin/154703
I see Velocity includes 'Mega Menu', but I need that extra versatility.
Hi, we never tested Velocity with Uber Menu. Do you want a test run with Velocity? Then drop us a line at http://damojo.ticksy.com
Regards, damojo
Is there a social icon for instagram?
yes there is in the latest version of Velocity. If you cannot find it let me check your version (please send an admin account to http://damojo.ticksy.com )
Regards, damojo
i have 2 questions – 1 – how do you get the bar at the top (with the phone number, language and social media) 2 – i do not see where i set up social media info for icons liek you have in the widget footer area 4.
both are widgets:
1) Text Widget – Please take a look here: http://goodwebtheme.com/velodoc/widgets/
2) Velocity Socials Widget – http://screencast.com/t/hMZcNsymGA

Hi, I installed the demo data but can't seem to find an example page of the Alternative Portfolio Layout. Can you post a screen shot of that?
sorry, could you send me a link or screenshot of the preview page you are referring too? All pages are included in the dummy content.
Thanks and Regards, damojo
I have a problem with Custom background image in page.
When i set type to Tiled, it's works fine. But if i set it to Full, image does not appear.
Can you help me ?
thanks for your comment.
You are correct, sorry about that! We will fix this page option asap. Till then if you want one background image for the whole site, you can use the general background setting in theme options.
Regards, damojo
Thx for reply,
i'm looking for next updates .
Hi Alex,
we fixed it right away. If you need to upload the fix now please unzip this file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6248073/footer_velocity.zip and upload it to the wp-content/themes/velocity folder overwriting the existing footer.php
Regards, damojo
Wow, very fast fixing ! Thanks a lot
Hello! It's ok that sticky menu size down while scrolling, but I need my logo to keep original size. How can I do that?
And one more detail – I'd like to put Facebook, Twitter etc. in main menu line right after(before) search icon. What should I do?
thanks for your comment.The logo change will need a bit of custom modification: js/screen.js line 582, change
Adding the social icons to the menu is not possible easily. We created the top header widget slots for that matter!
Hope this helps
Regards, damojo
Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome!
Hello again. I just did what you said (0.7 to 1) – nothing changed. Moreover I tried to delete more and more code – nothing still changed. Even when I deleted all code under // CALCULATE LOGO – that did't work out. What can be wrong?
that is not really possible. Are you sure you are editing the file on your server?
Regards, damojo
I think that was a problem. I was uploading already modified file. My mistake. But when I changed parameters right in the file on server – everything worked fine! Thank you again!
Glad you got it working!
Cheers, damojo
I have used the "Full width background" but i don't know how to stop it when i don't want it anymore and just the normal background. I can't figure it out o please help !Link: Vilogo
Here is an explanation of how the backgrounds work:
1. Each background element will span either to the end of the page or until the next background element starts.
2. If you want the regular white background to continue after content in a background element, just add another background element with white background color.
Regards, damojo
Thanks man! Cool support! And by the way, love your theme
Awesome! Always happy to help and to read that customers like the theme! Thanks!
Is it possible to change the slider to include a form to fill out? Like maybee an email address for instance?
Also, do you guys have call to actions in your page builder or will those require custom developing?
thanks for your interest in our theme.
Its possible to include a contact form 7 into a slider caption using a shortcode, yes!
Call to action, like a separate area with a button like on the bottom here? http://themepunch.com/velocity/portfolio-shortcodes/
There are several possible ways to show this. You can also add a contact form anywhere: http://themepunch.com/velocity/about-example-2/
Hope this helps!

Great job on this theme!
Just have a request – SHOPPING CART ICON in header is needed with item count and subtotal that links to shopping cart screen/checkout.
A shopping cart notification icon – such as when you add something to the shopping cart, it would be nice if there was an icon that appears (and/or changes appearance or has an item count tab) that can be clicked on to go to cart, or hover over to preview number of cart items and subtotal.
Presently, if items are added to cart, then you navigate to another page (whether in the shopping area or another page of the site), there is absolutely no visual indicators to remind the user their are items in the cart. The only way to see items is to add another item to the shopping cart and immediately clicking on the VIEW CART hotlink.
Adding a shopping cart icon/button that appears whenever items are in the cart, and stays visible in header regardless of the page you might navigate too/from for as long as items are in cart is VERY MUCH NEEDED.
If this feature has already been added, then it is not showing in the demo on IE9.
Aside from that, great theme and if this shopping cart icon can be added, I will gladly purchase this for use for future and current projects.
thx for your interest!
You can use the menu cart plugin for woo commerce for what you need.
When you add a product to cart, a banner appears on top with a "to cart" link.
The other issues will be solved with the cart icon in the menu area
Regards, damojo
Thanks damojo Wonderful theme! Clean, smooth, and great UI.
Hi! I am working on the revolution slider for the homepage and it shows up exactly how I want it when I go through each individual slide to edit and I click update, but when I go to what the page looks like after updating the sliders, they are completely different. Is this a glitch with revolution sliders? Can you please help me?
do you use an official version of Velocity? I unfortunately can see no purchase badge and the behaviour you describe is more than unusual.
Could you create a ticket over at http://damojo.ticksy.com and include your license key and an admin account to check there?
Thanks & Regards, damojo
Yes I am using an official version of Velocity that our company bought, I am writing this ticket from my personal computer and not from our Velocity account. We did spend the money to purchase it. I will create a ticket – it is unusual and very frustrating because we would like to get this site up by Monday and the revolution slider simply is not working at all.
will be on the tickets now! You are right: This is unusual and the first time in over 700 purchases this comes up! We will check what is going on asap! Maybe a conflicting plugin or a server issue, we will see!
Thanks & Regards, damojo
?Hi, sorry to hear that you are having trouble with adjusting the slider. It looks like some CSS misconfiguration could have caused that.
Again we have to ask you if you could send us an admin account so that we can have a closer look at your CSS?
Thanks in advance & Cheers, D
Hallo Damojo,
I have a strange bug with the visual composer: All Rows display twice in the page I mean : If I have a row, with fill image background, text, portfolio elements… When I publish the page It displays all rows, but 2 times, in the same order… Weird… Did you already see this bug ? Do you have a solution to correct it ? Awaiting for your advice Best regards
no sorry, we have no heard about this! Did you use the last update of the Visual Composer we gave with the last update of the theme? Are there any other plugins maybe that could conflict the content?
We could have a look if you send us an admin account to your installation.
Regards, damojo
Thank you for your reply. The problem was related to my child theme. I deleted, reinstalled and everything works. Thanks again for your follow up and for this wonderful theme
glad its working for you. Thanks for your appreciation!
Regards, damojo
Thanks for your continuing support. I'm following along and reading all the posts since everything seems to have useful info.
A couple of new questions.
1. Is it possible to get the full demo data for the shop page shown at http://themes.damojothemes.com/?theme=velocity_wp You have a lot of cool things shown there but I don't think that's available from the demo data.
2, Can you confirm that it is not possible to use a full width background image on a page with a sidebar activated? That sort of makes sense as when i have tried it the sidebar content gets moved to the bottom of the page (and moved from left to right) or the page content just disappears (like when adding a full width background to a Woo Commerce default shop page.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
thanks for your appreciation esd3104!
1. Please show me the correct link to the page you are referring to (close the theme selection header from the demo first)
If this is the page you are referring to: http://themepunch.com/velocity/shop/
The parallax header is done like shown on many other demo pages, e.g. http://themepunch.com/velocity/about/
Then there are 3 columns, 2 of those with widgetized areas from visual composer
2. Its possible if you don't use the page sidebar option, but create a layout with visual composer columns and add the visual composer widgetized sidebar element to one of the columns.
The whole row with those columns can then be put into a background element.
Regards, damojo
Thanks again – the support is superb! Indeed the page I was talking about was as you guessed: http://themepunch.com/velocity/shop/
Your explanation does make sense but if it would be possible to see a screenshot even of how this was put into the Visual Composer that would be a useful reference point just to see the shortcode and or widgets you used.
I've already re-worked a page for my 2nd question and it works exactly as you said.
on your shop page, go to the classic editor and enter this into the editor area (text mode).
Then go back to visual composer and you will see the structure. Of course widgets need to be created and sidebars selected.

Hello,Is there a free way to use nested tabs for this theme, like this for example http://codecanyon.net/item/zozo-tabs/3327836?ref=ZozoUI ?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you!
we have included those tabs&accordions:http://themepunch.com/velocity/elements-accordions/ http://themepunch.com/velocity/elements-tabs/
You can include all kinds of other plugins of course.
Regards, damojo
Thank you for your answer, but i'm interested in nested tabs (i want horizontal tabs to contain vertical tabs). is there a way to do that with the plugins included in velocity theme? or do you know any other FREE plugin? Thank you very much!
the visual composer offers various options but nested variants are forbidden by the plugin. I'm not sure you will find a wordpress plugin that allows nester tabs.
Regards, damojo
Ok, this is what i realised but i needed a confirmation. Thank you again and i'm sorry for desturbing so many times. Great theme by the way!
no problem, thats our job

Hello, Is wpml plugin is included the a template?
I meant in the template and how Caption can be Show with the prettyphoto? Sorry for my English
Hi pinapi,
you can use WPML with the theme but the plugin itself is not included.
For the pretty photo thing please send us an admin account to update something for you, http://damojo.ticksy.com
Regards, damojo
if i wanted to replace some of the icons, how can i find the current ones and replace them?
thanks for your comment.
Where exactly do you want to replace icons? Icons in the menu can be selected from a visual list, same goes for the service icons. There are about 400 different ones available.
Services also allow the upload of images instead of the font icons.

Released: Jul 01st, 1994
Running Time: 82
Company: Bi-Line Productions
Cast: Rick Rogue, Jonny Gitaur, Rocky Toro, Tim Boyd, Angela Faith, Brigitte Ame
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Gay and Bi
The very cute title — another of Bi-Lme's clever film take-offs — is the name of a high-potential video which falls into a mish-mash of poorly shot sex scenes despite a new, raw cast. Rocky Toro, a muscular, tattooed he-man does a fascinating pairing with drag queen (who's not in drag) Jonny Gitaur in the most interesting butch-femme pairing I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the sex gets silly when Jonny and Rocky talk romantically about Rocky wanting to pop the question to his girlfriend, and Jonny just sits there and gets sucked by the stud and says, "Go for it, friend." Jonny is funny and hot, however, and he's already making a splash in all sorts of vids — this being his first bi debut. Brigitte, Tim and Rick begin a promising threesome which also ends up falling short, again thanks to inane dialogue during the seduction. They're class friends who don't even remember each other's names but they remember having the hots for each other, so Brigitte says, "Maybe we should all have fun" and they fuck. Tim Boyd plays just a bit too much of a dork here — but Rogue is dreamy.

Maine police answered a call of a neighbor who reported she heard screaming coming from the house next door. Fearful that someone was getting hurt, she summoned the cops, but when the authorities arrived it was not at all what they expected to find.
The blood curdling screams were coming from a pig, but they were screams of happiness not pain. The woman whose house that police were called to said that the pig was screaming because it was overjoyed, according to the Miami Herald Weird News on Feb.4.
What the neighbor mistook for a person in distress, was in fact a very enamored pig. This porker was about to embark on a day of fun and he was ecstatic once he realized this. The owner had just placed this male pig in a pen with five sows in heat. He was screaming alright, but those were sounds of ecstasy pig style! Police left and let the pig get on with his day

SALT LAKE CITY - Despite a number of good, early scoring opportunities, the Washington baseball team was shut out by Utah, 6-0, Saturday in the second game of a Pac-12 series at Spring Mobile Ballpark.
The Huskies (22-18 overall, 7-10 in the Pac-12) out-hit the Utes, 10 to seven. Jacob Lamb was 3-for-4 for the Huskies while Chase Anselment and Trevor Mitsui each added two hits.
UW freshman starter Tyler Davis (2-2) suffered the loss, allowing three runs (two earned) on just three hits and no walks while striking out one. Utah's Joe Pond (3-7) earned the win, holding the UW scoreless on seven hits over five and one-third innings.
The Utes (12-29, 6-14 in the Pac-12) took a 1-0 lead in the first as James Brooks led off with a double, moved to third on a bunt and scored on a sacrifice fly from Parker Morin.
In the third, Utah added a second run. Tyson Gonzalez reached on an error to open the inning and scored from first on a double from Cory Hunt, making it a 2-0 lead.
In the fifth, Utes first baseman Ethan Leiter led off with a triple to left-center and scored on a sacrifice fly from Gonzalez, stretching the advantage to 3-0.
Meanwhile, the Huskies had their chances. Over the first six innings, they'd collected eight hits and had a runner in scoring position in five of the first six.
In the bottom of the sixth, Utah left fielder Shaun Cooper added to the lead, hitting his eighth homer of the season, a one-out solo shot, to make it 4-0.
In the eighth, Utah's Tyler Relf and Morin opened the inning with back-to-back triples. A sacrifice fly from Trey Nielsen brought homer Morin to make it 6-0.
In the ninth, the Huskies loaded the bases on an error and singles from Anselment and Robert Pehl. However, Utah's Tyler Wagner came on and got a strikeout and a groundout to complete the shutout.
The Huskies and Utes wrap up the series with another 11:00 a.m. PT game on Sunday. Fans can follow live stats and listen to live audio via links from gohuskies.com.

The wedding bells chimed as Kim Kardashian paraded down the aisle in a sleekly fitting Givenchy Haute Couture gown on Saturday, according to E News. Her body is the result of months devoted to dieting using a high fat low carb ketogenic diet based on the Atkins plan. We've got the skinny on how it works.
The low carb high fat (LCHF) diet that's the cornerstone of the Atkins plan shifts your body into fat-burning mode. It involves eating protein, fats and small amounts of carbohydrates such as vegetables. The Atkins phases take you through a quick-start experience designed for rapid weight loss, followed by subsequent phases that add more variety. The diet is detailed in several books, including "New Atkins for a New You: The Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight and Feeling Great" and "The New Atkins for a New You Cookbook: 200 Simple and Delicious Low-Carb Recipes in 30 Minutes or Less."
Kim had previously used the Atkins diet to shed pounds, and when she wanted to take off her post-pregnancy weight, she turned to it again. Determined to look fabulous in her wedding gown, she experienced "Atkins mania," a source told OK magazine. She banned starchy carbohydrates such as pasta and bread from her home, focusing on protein and green veggies.
"What distinguishes the Atkins diet is the absence of a lot of carbohydrates, so that leaves out a lot of choices," said Jonny Bowden in an interview with E News. Jonny is the author of "Living Low Carb: Controlled-Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss".
And Jonny's a fan of the Atkins diet because "there really isn't a downside to it." The plan was recently updated to include more of an emphasis on fiber and healthy fats, both of which are detailed in "The New Atkins Made Easy: A Faster, Simpler Way to Shed Weight and Feel Great -- Starting Today."
Among the proven benefits of these types of weight loss plans:
- Metabolic syndrome often becomes reversed.
- Cholesterol patterns get better.
- Blood pressure levels get reduced.
- Blood sugar levels improve.
- Low carb diets result in higher percentages of fat loss.
- Studies show that low carb diets result in more rapid weight loss than low calorie.
- Eating low carb reduces your appetite naturally, so that you avoid the stress of hunger pangs.
What differentiates the Atkins diet from other high fat low carb diets? Three elements:
- It takes the dieter through phases, allowing you to add more carbohydrates back in as you near your goal weight.
- It provides for and even encourages certain processed foods from Atkins, such as Atkins Endulge candies.
- It provides diet-specific books, including a workbook that offers help with shopping and menu-planning: "The New Atkins for a New You Workbook: A Weekly Food Journal to Help You Shed Weight and Feel Great."

Jack takes the job of sheriff in the town of Eureka, Ore. with the hope of cleaning up his daughter and starting a new life. What he discovers though is that the citizens of the small community are actually brilliant scientists doing dangerous top secret government work.
Colin Ferguson (Jack), Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Allison), Erica Cerra (Jo), Neil Grayston (Fargo), Joe Morton (Henry), Chris Gauthier (Vincent), Jordan Hinson (Zoe), Niall Matter (Zane), Ed Quinn (Stark), Kavan Smith (Andy).
Eureka begins by slowly easing us into the characters and town with some mild drama before showing us that there is more to this quaint little town. Before long we are exposed to the heart of the town and a load of strange scientific experiments. As the series matures the plot becomes much more intricate and feels more like a suspense film than drama, and the humor decreases noticeably. At the same time, new characters keep entering and leaving the series keeping things quite interesting on a couple of levels.
Acting was well done by the entire cast and it felt like they actually had fun making the series. Ferguson was appropriately silly through much of the series but was able to show his serious side toward the end. Cerra was enjoyable as well, bringing nice variety to the series. Grayston, Morton, Matter, Quinn, Smith and the remainder of the supporting cast filled things out even more, and with a constant flow of new actors the series was full of good work.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were good and consistent throughout the series. CGI was interesting and for the most part pretty well done with good variety. Dialogue was good with a mix of campy, comedy, and serious drama. Sound was good, while the soundtrack was about what you would expect from a decent TV series.
Overall Eureka is a fun series with a good, light heart. Though the series does have some suspense and does get somewhat intricate, most episodes end on a light note. Sci-fi fans will likely enjoy this while those wanting substance and depth may not.
With some violence, mild sexuality, and adult situations this should be fine for teens and above.

Artist leaves his mark on city
Bradenton Beach Public Works
employee and artist Pat O'Neill poses in front of murals
he painted on a fuel tank (left) and a shed. He has
also painted muRals on other private and public
structures throughout the city.
BRADENTON BEACH – Having a talented artist on board has been a boost for this city's public works department. Employee Pat O'Neill has left his mark on public property with murals and signage and now his work is spreading to private property.
O'Neill's latest work is a mural on a fuel tank at Bradenton Beach Marina and another on the wall of an adjacent building.
"It was my father's (marina owner Allan Bazzy) idea," said marina manager Mike Bazzy. "We originally wanted him to do one side of the tank, but we ended up having him do all sides. He did a great job."
O'Neill's latest work was done on the rough surface of the tank, which he said was not a big problem. It depicts sea turtles and dolphins on one side and other aquatic critters on the other. The mural on the office shows a pelican standing on a piling of a dock.
O'Neill's talents have made him a valuable commodity in a city that has a history of rehabilitating its popular waterfront and adding to it. His work includes murals at the police department, the Tingley library, city hall and the Monroe Cottage, which houses the projects and programs director's office. He has decorated signs and tables at the Bridge Street Pier and has agreed to repaint the tables because of wear and tear.
"They started looking bad because people use them for cutting bait," he said. "I don't mind repainting them."
Business owners in Bradenton Beach have been impressed, and his art is now a part of the Sun House restaurant and Oma's Pizza. He was asked if he knows what he's going to paint when he starts.
"The customers usually tell me what they want and I make it up along those lines," he said.
When he's not painting murals and signs, what does he do in his free time? Well, he has set up booths at a couple of festivals because he likes to paint pictures as well as murals. His work is varied and a lot of it follows a nautical theme.
If you're interested, call Pat at 792-4901 or 812-7068.

Noda Sidesteps Brewing Controversy With China
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda says he's committed to improving ties with China this year, the 40th anniversary of normalization of relations between the two Asian giants.
But it's what he won't say that could intensify tensions with Beijing.
At a meeting with foreign journalists Saturday, Mr. Noda was asked by a Hong Kong television reporter about recent controversial comments by the mayor of Nagoya, who publicly doubted that the infamous 1937 "rape of Nanjing" by Japanese soldiers had actually taken place during Japan's occupation of China. The comments sparked a widespread furor in China, and Nanjing last month suspended its sister-city ties with Nagoya in protest.
The reporter asked how Mr. Noda felt about the fact that the remarks weren't retracted. He avoided doing so, or repudiating them.
"This is a matter that should be properly resolved between the city of Nagoya and the city of Nanjing, and I very much hope the matter will be resolved as early as possible," he said.
Since World War II, numerous Japanese leaders have struggled to find the right tone in discussing Japan's invasion and occupation of neighboring countries. They've usually tried to show some form of remorse, while avoiding acknowledgement of atrocities. The leaders of China and Korea have regularly insisted Japanese leaders must go further if they want more friendly ties.
"You refer to a perception of history," Mr. Noda continued, without saying which mayor's perception he himself shared — the mayor of Nanjing or Nagoya. He noted that, from time to time, such issues come up between the two countries. "We have to make sure from the broader perspective that these will not inevitably affect our bilateral relations," he said. "I believe the reasonable path for us is to proceed with that basic understanding."
Mr. Noda's cautious tone echoed earlier statements by Japanese officials over the latest controvery. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the dispute should be properly resolved between the city of Nagoya and the city of Nanjing.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Japan's official stance on the Nanjing Massacre is that it is "aware there are a variety of debates regarding the factual situation, but we cannot deny there were killings of noncombatants and acts of robbery after the defunct Imperial army entered Nanjing in 1937."

Tiny bead gathers data inside living cell
A traditional photonic-force microscope (PFM) – an instrument that uses optical trapping to measure intracellular properties such as stiffness or viscoelastic moduli – results in huge sets of data, which require tedious numerical analysis. To get around the problem, researchers in Switzerland and Poland have teamed up to develop an analog signal processor that can attain real-time capabilities while retaining the richness of the traditional PFM data.
The system is devoted to intracellular measurements and is fully interactive through the use of a haptic joystick. The force-feedback mechanism allows the user to interactively guide an optically trapped bead and obtain the stiffness matrix of a liquid or biological sample with high spatial resolution (a few nanometres) and an update frequency of 1 kHz.
Using specialized analog hardware along with a dedicated algorithm, the researchers can extract the full 3D stiffness matrix of the optical trap in real time, including the off-diagonal cross-terms. The hardware is also capable of simultaneously recording data for subsequent offline analysis, which allows the team to check that a good correlation exists between the classical analysis of stiffness and the system's real-time measurements.
Instantaneous stiffness measurements are displayed in real time on a graphical user interface. The whole system has been built and is operational. Early results have been reported in Nanotechnology that confirm the consistency of the real-time measurements with offline computations.
This work was financed by GEBERT RüF STIFTUNG.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around these parts much lately. This month, it feels like I'm getting pulled in twenty different directions at once. Between work, my etsy shop, custom orders, and social engagements, I have myself spread pretty thin right now. One bit of exciting news: I bought my domain, so heyzombot.com is all mine! heyzombot.blogspot will still redirect here, so you shouldn't need to change your bookmarks or subscriptions or anything like that. It is taking a bit of time to get my comments imported though, so if you notice any issues with commenting, that's why!
On a cold rainy night last week, my friend Steph and I headed to Zoo Lights. It's something that the Portland Zoo puts on every year. They put up tons and tons of gorgeous light displays, and there's a special train that goes through the entire Zoo. It was crazy busy the night we went, so we ended up waiting in line in the rain for a couple hours. It's a bit weird being at the Zoo when all the animals are put away, and just looking at animals made of multicolor lights. They were so pretty though! Check it out.

(Atlanta, GA)– Georgia is ranked the 10th worst state in the nation when it comes to men killing women. The CDC considers Violence against Women a Public Health problem, and is currently hosting an art exhibit to bring this issue to light.
"Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art," is an art exhibition that can bring up feelings of anger, disgust, frustration, but also hope and empowerment.
From a husband's photo essay on the impact of his wife's rape on their family to photos taken by women themselves in areas of conflict in western Africa. This exhibit uses a multitude of media to illustrate the effects of violence against women, worldwide, and why it happens in the first place. On a tour of the exhibit, the curator points this and other things out.
This show not really is not just about showing results of violence but also a call to action and about empowering women and men to stop the violence.
Louise Shaw is Curator of the David J. Sensor CDC Museum, which is hosting the exhibit
Art has an incredible ability to opening your mind and bringing awareness.
And one can respond to the art and then begin to think about in a more personal way about the impact of violence on women not only here in U.S. but around the world.
"Off the beaten path" features prominent artists from N. America, S. America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Their work explores violence against women individually, in the family, in the community, in politics and in culture.
"There's a lot of pieces about cultural identity and gender issues in the role of women in societies. We're standing by an installation of beautiful chiffon pieces by a Korean artist where she painted shadowy pictures of women on these panels on chiffon that represent roles of women in Korean society, where often times they're considered second class."
In conjunction with the exhibition, the CDC recently hosted a panel to talk about Prevention of Violence Against Women.
"In U.S. we estimate 4.8 million women experience assaults or rapes at the hand of an intimate partner each year.
James Mercy, acting director of CDC's Division of Violence Prevention, says the problem here is endemic and effects some 20-30% of women in the United States.
"It's a public health issue because the consequences are so important for health. You could suffer severe physical injuries being exposed to this kind of violence, all the way to traumatic brain injuries. But also it gets under the skin. We found exposure to this kind of violence is also associated with heart disease, stroke, arthritis, common every day chronic diseases, as well as mental health problems."
Nicole Lesser, executive director of the Georgia Coalition Against domestic violence, says we need to hold abusers accountable for violent behavior against women, instead of the victims.
"With domestic violence, what the research shows us is people are still blaming the victim for the abuse that has happened to her. So as long as we are looking at the victim as responsible, there's always going to be less attention paid to the issue."
Off the Beaten Path was organized by the California non-profit -Artworks for Change- which also created a virtual version of the exhibit on line.
The CDC exhibit will be on display until September 9.

Madden Masters Smoky Mountain
MARYVILLE, Tenn. — Chris Madden likes Saturday night racing with the NDRL.
The Gray Court, S.C., driver took the lead from Billy Moyer Jr. on lap 44 and won the National Dirt Racing League-sanctioned Tip Off Classic worth $12,500 at Smoky Mountain Speedway one week after he won the Bama Bash at East Alabama Speedway.
Madden drove the Century Plastics, Hamrick's of Gaffney sponsored Clements powered Bloomquist Team Zero race car to the victory over hard-charging Mike Marlar, who started tenth.
One caution flag slowed the race as Casey Roberts slowed on lap 13.
Polesitter Moyer and Jonathan Davenport brought the field of 25 to life for the start of the 60-lapper with Moyer jumping to the early lead. On the 14th lap Madden would take the second spot away from Davenport and take Scott Bloomquist with him for third. Davenport dropped to fourth after that restart.
Madden looked under Moyer for several laps before taking the point on the 44th circuit. Marlar became the factor for second spot and grabbed it away from Scott Bloomquist with five laps remaining.
Lapped traffic would be enough to keep Marlar away from Madden. Bloomquist, Davenport and Moyer completed the top five.
The finish:
Chris Madden, Mike Marlar, Scott Bloomquist, Jonathan Davenport, Billy Moyer Jr., Dale McDowell, Don O'Neal, Kent Robinson, Tommy Kerr, Skip Arp, Max Blair, Mason Zeigler, William Thomas, Chris Ferguson, Ray Cook, Steve Francis, Bub McCool, John Blankenship, Dennis Erb Jr., Mike Benedum, Tim Fuller, Billy Ogle Jr., Vic Hill, Casey Roberts, Billy Moyer.

Astros fail to sign first pick in MLB draft
CHICAGO - The Houston Astros have failed to sign the first pick in this year's draft.
The Astros say they didn't reach an agreement with high school pitcher Brady Aiken before Friday's deadline.
The left-hander from San Diego's Cathedral Catholic was just the third prep pitcher to be selected first overall when he was taken last month. Aiken was also the first high school lefty to be drafted in the first five picks since Adam Loewen went fourth overall to Baltimore in 2002. The UCLA recruit has a fastball that hits 96-97 mph.

The Buzzard is a small attack helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto IV's The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC.
Similarly armed with machine guns as the Annihilator, as well as additionally featuring missile pods, the Buzzard is evidently based on an AH-6 Little Bird, an attack variant of the MH-6 Little Bird light observation helicopter, which in turn is a military version of the OH-6 Cayuse and the MD 500C. It's important to note that the Buzzard has the old style tail stabilizer, characteristic of the MD-500C and its corresponding defender/AH/MH-6 counterparts.
As mentioned above, the Buzzard is based off of a military class light attack helicopter. This makes it illegal, at least in Liberty City. It holds 2 people, and is equipped with two high-powered miniguns and rockets. The minigun on the Buzzard is much more effective than those on the Annihilator. It has a much faster rate of fire, a narrower spread, and fires both guns simultaneously, unlike the Annihilator which only fires one gun at a time. It also never overheats, allowing for continuous fire. According to in-game speech, the Buzzard that Luis intended to steal for Yusuf Amir was a prototype, meaning there's possibly only a single one in existence. The same stolen one was later repainted gold by Yusuf - this difference would be first recognized during the mission Not So Fast where Luis must use it to land on the roof of the Libertonian.
- Machine Guns — A Button
- Rockets — X Button (Note: The player should NOT use rockets at a low altitude with a sharp trajectory as the detonating rocket can destroy the helicopter and kill the player.)
- Rotor- Dipping the rotor with the Left Thumbstick (Hitting people with the rotor will automatically kill them, along with it removes parts of helicopters and throws cars)
- Yusuf Amir gives his Gold Buzzard to you as a gift after completing the game; In which it wil be available at the heli-pad beside the golf club.
- The Buzzard can be found atop the police headquaters in East Holland, Algonquin. (Can be found in single player). The Buzzard replaces the Annihilator, which before was found on the helipad.
- Once the main storyline missions are completed, it will replace the Swift at the helipad in west Alderney, next to the West River.
- Can be found on the Higgins Helitours, helipad in Fishmarket South.
- Can be spawned via cheat code, by dialing the number: 359-555-2899 ("FLY"-555-"BUZZ").
- The Buzzard was confirmed to be available in the "Free Mode" multiplayer mode.
- Buzzard could be the next generation of Sparrow and Sea Sparrow, as they both share similar design with Buzzard.
- Before the name was revealed, many fans believed or speculated that it was a Sparrow.
- Due to the Buzzard's easy maneuverability and rapid-fire armaments, many players online and off have became very skilled in using this helicopter's weaponry.
- Some players online hate the Buzzard due to the amount of people constantly dominating game modes with it's firepower.
- Despite its power, the pilot and passenger are extremely vulnerable to small arms fire, due to the bubble canopy and lack of bulletproof glass.
- The Buzzard is similar to the Hunter due its weaponry.

Saturday in Brasilia, Brazil, the Dutch National Football Team ensured the work the German team began was completed. Holland restored the balance in the cosmos of the football world beating the hapless Brazilians, again, at home, 3-0, in a game that mattered to the hosts and barely did to the Europeans. The score line was generous, the Netherlands were every bit as much the better team today as the Germans had been in their earlier clash with this Brazilian team.
In case anyone on the globe had missed the message, Brazil is not good this year. The second message has been, don't bring anything but your "A" game to the World Cup or you will be embarrassed. This is the one time when all of the world's football stars, all of the planet's good players and top coaches, and many aspiring stars, come together to try to outdo each other. Fielding an inferior team when facing a top-notch one is not a good idea.
At the three minute mark, Arjen Robben broke away on a beautiful Robin van Persie through ball which no one on the Brazilian side seemed ready or able to defend. Thiago Silva, the last defender between Robben and Brazilian keeper Julio Cesar, had to come to the rescue and grab Robben from behind just before he stepped into the box.
The infraction was a red card foul, but not a penalty. The penalty was awarded but not the red card. So, van Persie took the penalty and placed it beautifully out of the diving grasp of Cesar for the game's opening score.
Unfortunately, it looks like we are going to have another poorly officiated game, this time courtesy of Algerian referee Djamel Haimoudi.
The Brazilians went into their post-first-goal-against-Germany frenzy and their completely frantic play led to a simple cross into the box being defended ridiculously by Luiz. He headed the ball softly and back toward the middle of the box. No other Brazilian defender was there, but Daley Blind was there. Before any of the four Brazilian defenders within reach could react, and just before the farthest Brazilian, Cesar, came closest to close in on him, the Dutch player had completed his reaction.
Blind had time to three-touch the ball into the goal. First he trapped it. Then he placed it just so for his right footed kick. Then he struck it hard and high from about the penalty spot for the second score at the 15:57 mark. This, of course, simply put the disorganized Brazilians into manic overdrive.
But the Brazilians were so out of control, so out of position, so unknowing of their roles on the pitch, that for long stretches David Luiz was the team's center forward while Oscar was tackling in the back line. Every time midfield stoppers Luis Gustavo and Paulinho got the ball on the offensive side of the pitch they made a beeline for the Dutch goal, trying to dribble through the entire opposition and invariably losing possession.
As the second half began, two interesting things happened. The Dutch seemed convinced their two-goal advantage would suffice and their offensive push subsided, replaced with a confident defensive stance. That approach did not negate their offense, it simply put it on slumber mode until the routine Brazilian offensive play fizzled and the Dutch could counter.
The second thing that took place was that Brazilian coach, Luis Felipe Scolari, felt the correct reaction to being down two goals was to keep his team playing as they had been. So, he replaced hard-hitting defensive midfielder Luis Gustavo with harder-hitting defensive midfielder Fernandinho. He got his first yellow card at the 53:54 mark or about eight after coming in. The foul, in the midfield area, flipped van Persie and planted him for several seconds. It was an ugly, unnecessary foul.
At the 56:25 minute mark seldom used midfielder Hernanes came in for Paulinho. The change brought about not a scintilla of difference in the way Brazil played.
At the 69th minute Blind stepped on Oscar in the box and the Brazilian had just rounded him and the obvious penalty, caught perfectly in slow motion replays, was not only not called but Oscar was given a yellow card for allegedly diving.
At the 72nd minute Hulk, a striker, replaced Ramirez, a midfielder. This was Brazil's third and last change.
At the 82nd minute Robben was clobbered from behind by Fernandinho who also managed to land on top of Robben's head for good measure. But there was no penalty called, in fact no foul at all was called.
At the 90:38 minute mark Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnauldum shot on goal from close in for the third score of the game. The play began with an interception at midfield and three passes later the ball was in the back of the net, Cesar impotent to put up any real defense given how close the shooter was at the time.
In two games the hosts have allowed ten goals against with only one score in response. Sad to say this debacle was predictable a year ago, but it was. Also sad to say that given a chance to leave the cup with their heads held up, the Brazilians ended up further down than a few days ago. What Brazilian fans can look forward to is the next generation of stars which will include few of the players here today but will count with a healthy Neymar.

SANTA ANA – City Councilman Carlos Bustamante, accused of a series of sex-related crimes, failed to request and file nomination papers for another run as the Ward 3 representative on the Santa Ana City Council.
Bustamante, who was first elected in 2004, could have sought a third term under the city's term-limits law.
Because he as the incumbent isn't running, the filing period for potential candidates in the November election will be extended from Aug. 10 to Aug. 15.
Bustamante, who had not appeared at a City Council meeting since his arrest July 2 on a series of sex charges, made an appearance Monday for the closed portion of the meeting but left before the open part of the meeting started.
The City Council, meanwhile, hasn't been able to appoint a replacement.
According to state law, if a council member is absent without permission from all regular city council meetings for 60 consecutive days, the office becomes vacant. Bustamante's appearance reset the 60-day clock.
Bustamante, a former executive in Orange County government, lured female employees who reported to him into his office, groped them and exposed himself, authorities contend. He's charged with 12 felonies and four misdemeanors, most of them in connection with crimes prosecutors allege he committed against seven women. Bustamante resigned from his post as director of administrative services for O.C. Public Works in October. He's free on $100,000 bail.
A number of council members have said they think he should resign, including Sal Tinajero, Vincent Sarmiento and Michele Martinez.
In the mayor's race, Tinajero had taken out papers and announced his intention to run but decided against it.
Tinjero said that while he considered himself a strong candidate, if both he and David Benavides remained in the race, Mayor Miguel Pulido would win re-election.
"I chose to bow out and to support David," Tinajero said, "and I encouraged the rest of the council to do the same. ... I felt I had the qualifications to run for mayor and the ability to do the job. But at the end of the day, I put my own ambitions aside to focus on the overall common good here."
Both Tinajero and Benavides were part of a group of four council members who called a special meeting recently to place mayoral term limits before Santa Ana voters in November.
Pulido has served in the position since 1994 and didn't attend the meeting.
Tinajero said a concern he has is that some longtime staff members communicate with the mayor more than the council.
"The mayor is trying to keep a centralized level of control," Tinajero said. "He wants to call the shots."
Tiinajero also said that Bustamante made a good decision in not seeking re-election.
"It's the right thing for him to do," he said. "He needs to focus on himself and his family."
As of the close of business Friday, five candidates had qualified for the election to replace Bustamante. They are planning commissioner/attorney Eric M. Alderete, law enforcement officer Shane Ramon Barrows, businessman Brett Elliott Franklin, Orange County manager Charles Hart and retired educator Stefano "Steve" Rocco.
Here's a snapshot of other candidates who have pulled nomination papers to run in the November City Council election.
Mayor: Incumbent Miguel Pulido and Lupe Moreno, an office specialist, qualified for the ballot. Councilman David Benavides, engineer Roy Alvarado, retail manager Miguel Angel Briseno and analyst/production manager George Collins have filed their papers, which are under review.
Ward 1: Councilman Vincent Sarmiento qualified for the ballot, while the nomination papers of educator Estela Amezcua are being reviewed.
Ward 5: Businesswoman Karina Onofre and Santa Ana Unified trustee Roman A. Reyna have returned their papers, which are being reviewed. Councilwoman Claudia Alvarez will be termed out after a lawsuit failed to clear the way for her to seek a fourth term.
The City Clerk's office said that verification of candidates' papers is expected to be completed next week.

Serial killers are defined as individuals who kill three or more people, generally with a cooling-off period between each victim. The typical serial killer is a white, middle-aged male. Additionally, serial killers tend to choose their victims from within their own racial group.
Serial killers prove quite difficult to identify and capture, however, because most are quite adept at blending into society. What this means is that, from all appearances, they are law-abiding citizens, and are also often charismatic and approachable. But appearances can be deceiving, as serial killers are, in fact, "sociopaths who do not have the capability to empathize with their victims", according to Sammy Said of TheRichest.com.
The following is a list of five of the most infamous serial killers the United States has ever seen:
5. Ed Gein
4. Gary Ridgway
3. Ted Bundy
2. John Wayne Gacy
1. Jeffrey Dahmer
Arguably the nation's most notorious, albeit not its first, serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer committed some of the most sick and twisted atrocities imaginable against at least 17 males, young and old alike, over a period of 13 years. Dahmer did not simply murder his victims. His crimes also "included rape, necrophilia, dismemberment, and cannibalism" according to Sammy Said.
In his book "I,Monster", author Tom Philbin reveals that Dahmer's reign of terror only ended when he was finally arrested in 1991. Dahmer himself stated, "If I hadn't been caught or lost my job, I'd still be doing it, I'm quite sure of that." Dahmer was subsequently killed by a fellow inmate while in prison. Thus, in the end, one of Dahmer's last wishes was fulfilled, as Philbin quoted Dahmer in his book as having proclaimed, "If I was killed in prison. That would be a blessing right now."

Influences on Daniel Decatur Emmett"Dixie" was written in the traveling minstrel "walk-around" tradition, which had roots in African American slave songs and the communal dancing of tribal Africans. The original lyrics were even written so as to sound like what most people assumed slaves talked like.
Influenced by Daniel Decatur EmmettThe song has had a major impact on American culture, not just American music. There are countless businesses, organizations, songs, and even band names with "Dixie" in the title, all using the word to represent their Southern heritage. More directly, "Dixie" spawned numerous different versions of the song, each meant to represent a certain group or area of the country during the Civil War.
