Super Pak, Glutamine Select, Creatine Select, Joint Care, and EFA Gold daily. Last 8 weeks I added: Muscularity and the Lean Out / 7 Keto Musclean stack.Supplements played a critical role in my success at this show. I have taken so many supplements over the years and I have to tell you that nobody beats Beverly, nobody! I used to go to all the shows around Cincinnati and now Austin. You can always tell a Beverly athlete; they have that "look." I wanted that "look" for my show so I used only Beverly International supplements for my contest preparation.
Day 1: Chest Day 2: Back and Biceps Day 3: Rest Day 4: Shoulder and Triceps Day 5: Legs Day 6: Rest Day 7: Cycle starts again with Chest.As you can see, I end up working a different body part on a particular day each week. This allows better use of muscle glycogen stores in order to keep those unwanted catabolic hormones at bay.

Dartmouth, MA (February 28, 2014) -- UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) Professor Pingguo He has been appointed to serve as Chair of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) - Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behavior (WGFTFB).
"Congratulations to Professor He on his leadership appointment to WGFTFB," offered SMAST Dean Steven E. Lohrenz. "SMAST and ICES have a shared mission in assuring the best available science is accessible to researchers, the fishing industry, policymakers, and other stakeholders to make informed choices on the sustainable use of the marine environment and ecosystems."
ICES is a global organization, with a network of more than 4000 scientists, from almost 300 institutes. As an intergovernmental organization with twenty member countries across the North Atlantic, its main objective is to increase the scientific knowledge of the marine environment and its living resources and to use this knowledge to advance science and education for ocean sustainability.
ICES sciences are carried out by Expert Groups, covering all topics related to ocean and marine sciences. WGFTFB is the expert group that focuses on all measurements and observations pertaining to both scientific and commercial fishing gears, design and statistical methods and operations, and the behavior of fish in relation to fishing operations. WGFTFB provides advice to aquatic ecologists, biologists, and the fishery industry.
WGFTFB was formally created in 1983. The co-sponsorship of ICES and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) extends the reach of this expert group globally. This year the annual meeting of WGFTFB (and its sister group WGFAST -- Working Group on Fisheries Acoustic Sciences and Technology) will take place in New Bedford, May 5-9, 2014, hosted by NOAA Fisheries, Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, and SMAST.
As chair of the working group, Professor He will organize annual meetings, compose annual reports, facilitate discussions among its membership of around 150 and other interested parties, and participate in ICES Annual Science Symposia and business meetings. The chair also assembles small groups in an ad hoc basis in response to requests from ICES or its member countries.
The focus at SMAST is on interdisciplinary basic-to-applied marine sciences and the development of related innovative technologies. In addition to the scholarly marine science and technology communities, the SMAST mission also emphasizes interaction with regional industry, and government and non-governmental agencies on compelling regional marine-related issues and technological development.

…have a lot of food left in the condo this morning. We did have our leftover pizza from yesterday's lunch and some eggs, so I decided to get creative. I remembered from my time studying abroad in Italy when I was in college that sometimes they served eggs on pizza, so that gave me the idea to cook an egg and warm up the leftover pizza and put the two together for this breakfast. It was actually really good, and I know it will keep me full until lunch!

How to Take a Portrait Using Short Lighting
When you use short lighting, you need to turn your subject's head so that his or her face isn't staring directly into the camera. The main light source in short lighting comes from the side of the face directed away from the camera. Sometimes referred to as narrow lighting, short lighting is a valuable lighting style because it tends to narrow overly broad faces (as shown in this figure):
Turn your subject's face so that it's angled somewhat to the right or left of the camera.
Don't angle the subject too much, though; this isn't supposed to be a profile shot. The side of the face you can see more of is the broad side of the face; the side you see less of is the short or narrow side of the face.
Set up your main light to illuminate the short side of the subject's face.
You can also add a fill light or reflector to fill in some light on the broad side of the face.
Add additional lights, if you want
Add a fill light to separate your subject from the background for a good three-light setup and add a hair light for a four-light configuration.
Short lighting is a particularly nice form of lighting for the female face because it accentuates the eyes, cheeks, nose, and mouth in an attractive way. This style of lighting can also be used to make a broad male face look thinner.

Obama Targets Colleges' Treatment of Veterans
President Barack Obama is heading to Ft. Stewart in Georgia Friday to meet with troops and will use the visit to crack down on what the administration and Congress says are deceptive and aggressive tactics by for-profit colleges to dupe soldiers returning from war to enroll in classes they can't afford.
The White House said President Obama will sign an executive order that will, among other things, require colleges to provide veterans with more information about financial aid options and the likelihood of graduation. The order will also require the Department of Defense to design rules guiding how for-profit colleges can gain access to military installations.
The point, the White House said, is to thwart the type of activity that can make life even harder for veterans.
"For example, some institutions have recruited veterans with serious brain injuries and emotional vulnerabilities without providing academic support and counseling," The White House said. Other institutions have also encouraged veterans to take out costly institutional loans, rather than suggesting they apply for federal aid first.
Concerns over for-profit colleges aren't new, and Congress has been considering several legislative proposals to crack down on the industry. The Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, in 2010 found that several for-profit colleges encouraged fraud and misleading marketing.
To thwart misleading marketing, the president will direct the Department of Veterans Affairs to register "GI Bill" as a trademark. The White House said some websites use the phrase GI Bill to suggest the benefits provided by the veterans-benefit program can only be used at certain schools.
A senior Obama administration official said the president hasn't endorsed any particular piece of legislation, but felt he needed to use his authority in the absence of laws. The president, however, is open to legislation to better protect veterans from deceptive practices.
The president's executive order falls under his "We Can't Wait" campaign. The campaign includes executive orders related to mortgage rates and energy efficiency. It's part of an effort by the president to show he is doing everything he can to help the economy in the face of what the administration says is Congressional intransigence.

Were either of you Ladies offered an HSG to check your other tube after your ectopic ? It might be worth asking about if you've been trying for a while with no luck
Not had an ectopic myself but one of the reversal ladies (who's not on much anymore) took around 6-7 months to conceive again after hers , their is a site called The ectopic pregnancy trust where there are loads of ladies in the same position and there might be more info about average times to conceive etc. on their message boards
(I went on there after being told last may that if I did get pregnant it would almost 100% be an ectopic and the Ladies were very helpful ) xxx

Hi Nat, no not been offered a HSG but I'm making an appointment to see GP next week so will ask about it. It would just be my sodding luck to have my last tube blocked or no good. I'll take a look at the other place you suggested as well. It's just so frustrating because it took us a year to concieve Sebastian with me having PCOS, now only having one tube it feels like I'm never going to get pregnant again

Hi ladies, I was never offered a HSG after my ectopic end of 2006 but I conceived Teagan in 2008. Ectopic was just before Christmas 2006 and I had to have surgery and then got an infection so we didn't start having sex till about the May so I'd say about 8/9 months after we started did I get caught in the Jan 2008.
Baby dust and good luck to you all xxxxxxxxxxx

Rainbow who told you that you can't take painkillers for the HSG ? My doc encouraged me to Also buscopan is good for relaxing your tubes and helping with spasms, maybe they're going to sedate you though some places do, but to be honest for me it wasn't particularly painful, just got sort of period type cramping for a minute when the dye went in and then nothing even when he upped the pressure and my tube is blocked , good luck for tomorrow xx
Lysi it could be worth finding out , as hard as it would be there are options at least if there is a problem , for me it made it worse knowing i'd been trying all that time and it had been blocked and it was all just time wasted , and if I'd got this referral this time last year after the HSG I could have maybe been pregnant by now Especially with you having the PCOS as well complicating things so you don't know if it's just that making it take longer they should agree for your peace of mind, and if not it's not too expensive to have one privately xx

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything from 10 the night before and when I asked about painkillers they said it wouldn't be so sore that I would need them. It is in case I have a reaction and they need to give me meds through an IV drip. I live in Japan and they just expect you to tolerate pain here. I took some painkillers anyway but by the time they took me they had worn off and I had the most awful experience I hope we can conceive soon..so hard for us to go through this..

Trial Offers New Choice for Blood-Pressure Patients
A new medical device with the promise to relieve an otherwise untreatable form of high-blood pressure has made its first forays into the U.S. in recent weeks, as major medical centers begin testing the procedure, WSJ reported.
Patients have high hopes for the clinical trial, coupled in some cases with frustration: Because the device is the first with that might ease stubborn hypertension that doesn't respond to drugs, those who don't make the cut have few other options.
The device, made by Medtronic, burns nerves that run along the renal arteries to the kidneys, disrupting signals from the organs that are linked to elevated blood pressure. In sharp contrast to many devices — widgets or incremental improvements to existing therapies — Medtronic's so-called renal denervation product breaks new physiological ground, says Mike Carusi, an early investor in the technology with Advanced Technology Ventures.
Only about 300 patients in Europe and Australia have participated in trials so far. Although the data covers only a narrow group, the results have been promising. Systolic blood pressures have dropped by 20 to 31 mmHg in various studies, and complications have been rare.
Medtronic's trial, which could lead to U.S. approval in 2014, focuses on patients with extremely high blood pressure who don't benefit from at least three of the many hypertension medications on the market.
"They don't have any other identifiable, treatable causes" of high blood pressure, says Keith Benzuly, a cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago who is participating in the trial.
That's been frustrating for patients, sometimes for years.
"I started out with one medicine, and it wasn't working, so they added another one," says Carolyn Campas, 59, of Chicago. "These are pills I take every day. They have a lot of side effects: nausea, dizziness, fatigue.
Campas, a Northwestern patient, is still being screened for the trial, which will ultimately include 530 patients. Of those, about two-thirds will receive the renal denervation procedure, while the remaining third will receive a simulated procedure. Patients receiving the simulation are blindfolded and wear ear plugs so they can't discern whether the treatment is real or not.
Campas says she was thrilled at the opportunity to join the study, even if she doesn't receive the actual treatment right away. "There was nothing else I could do."
The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, which is also participating in the trial, has been getting enthusiastic calls from would-be participants. But screening out the folks that are eligible has proven difficult, says Karen Miller, a clinical trial coordinator there. "It's much more complex than other studies we do," she says.
Patients must have systolic blood pressure that hovers above 160 mmHg despite taking at least three anti-hypertensive medicines. That limits the trial to only those with the most serious blood pressure problems.
The procedure itself involves threading a catheter from an artery in the groin to the renal arteries, the main approach to the kidneys. Before delivering the treatment, doctors perform an angiogram, an imaging technique, to make sure the patient's anatomy is appropriate. Less invasive than surgery, it still has risks, which are a turn off for some patients.
However, says Mayo's Miller, "their high blood pressure is a huge risk, too," and few patients have been deterred by the risks of the therapy.
Patients who won't receive the denervation procedure will be able to have the treatment free of charge after six months, the period in which prior, smaller studies showed peak results.
"It is a sign of confidence," says Issam Moussa, a Mayo doctor based in Florida, citing the promise of the European trial data. A lot of patients would feel very uncomfortable about the study if they have no chance of getting the treatment, he says.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson says the next several months are going to be rough ones for the economy.
But he also expects that over time, things will improve, and that the government's decision to buy into nine of the nation's biggest banks with a $250 billion investment should stabilize things.
Making the rounds on the morning talk shows, Paulson admits he was against the idea of having the government intervene in the banking system. But he also says as things kept changing, he viewed it as the way to get "the maximum bang for the taxpayers."
Paulson admits problems such as rising joblessness are likely to continue in the short term. But ultimately he says "we're going to meet this challenge."

Government denies any negotiation with convicted leaders
Issue 284
By Simegnish Yekoye
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, June 29, 2007 – The Ethiopian government denied any negotiations going on with convicted Coalition for Unity and Democracy (CUD) leaders and stressed there will be no middle ground for negotiation as long us their case is still in court.
Opposition party leaders were reported to have allegedly signed a document accepting partial responsibility for the violence that took place after 2005 election in exchange for their release as a result of negotiations between the prisoners and the government with United States and some Ethiopians mediating in the situation.
"Request for pardon can be raised only after the court gives its verdict," said Prime Minster Meles Zenawi admitting there are some efforts to mediate by some people requesting pardon for the prisoners. "But," Meles added, "there can never be negotiation with the prisoners."
Meles refrained from giving any further detail about the claimed 'negotiation' saying any comment from the government on the issue might have an effect on the judge's sentencing process. "So I would rather not comment any further," he said.
Presenting his six- month report to the parliament, Prime Minster also said Ethiopia is making military preparations for deterring possible Eritrean invasion and to repulse any invasion that might occur.
"We have achieved the required military capability to deter and to effectively repulse aggression," he said adding the government will continue to give all the necessary attention to continue bolstering the defense capacity until the peace is realized fully.
Meles also warned that the government of Eritrea would never miss an opportunity to carry out aggressions against Ethiopia with whatever opportunity it gets. Ethiopia and Eritrea have fought over border from 1998-2000, where thousands of people died and UN boundary commission had handed over Bademe, the town the two countries fought over, to Eritrea.
Though United Nations Peacekeeping Mission (UNMEE) forces are monitoring a buffer zone along the border of Ethiopia and Eritrea, Ethiopia has been accusing Eritrea for threatening the security of the zone. Tension between the two countries got acute last year due to the difference the two countries had over Somalia.
"Despite flaws in the decision of the boundary commission, we have declared our acceptance because it is the commission's verdict, We are ready to discuss the implementation and move on to the actual demarcation," Meles said during his speech. "But it has now become clear that there is no commensurate stance and commitment in the part of Eritrea."

Connersville, IN – A central Indiana couple is facing criminal
charges (which may include jail time) for trying to save an injured
reports that Jeff Counceller, a Connersville police officer, and his
wife, Jennifer, may get up to 60 days behind bars after Jeff rescued an
injured deer two years ago when he found it on a porch during a police
call. He and his wife, a nurse, took care of the little deer, which they
nicknamed "Dani." The couple says that Dani changed their lives.
"I was gonna put her back in the woods, but I seen the injuries and I
knew they were life threatening so I called Jennifer," recalled Jeff.
After realizing that taking care of Dani would be a long-term
commitment, they called habitats all over the state of Indiana to see if
anyone could take the deer. Everyone replied that they were full, so
the Counceller's decided to build Dani a pen in their own backyard.
"She would run around. She would play. We would feed her crack cord
and deer chow and other things. Again, we knew someday that we needed to
turn her loose," explained Jeff.
"It was never a secret that we had the deer. Everybody knew we had
the deer. We never kept it a secret. We talked about it openly," said
After a confrontation with the Department of Natural Resources, they
were told that Dani was too humanized and would need to be put down.
After a series of back-and-forths with the DNR, a euthanasia date was
set, but was interrupted when Dani's pen was opened, and she escaped.
The Counceller's deny that they opened the gate, saying that it was
perhaps a neighbor or friend who knew what would happen.
Now, the Counceller's face criminal charges, but would like to see their case go before a jury.
"There was no criminal intent here. We didn't go out and poach a
deer. We didn't kill a deer without a tag. We didn't, you know, go out
and steal her from the woods and plan on keeping her as a pet," said
"She deserved a chance to live," said Jeff about Dani.
This type of thing is not entirely unheard of. CBS Baltimore
reported on a similar case in 2010, in which a group of Good Samaritans
intervened to save a deer from drowning in icy water. They were written
tickets with a $90 fine by the Natural Resources officer on the scene,
who apparently watched the group save the deer, only to hand them
tickets for unspecified reasons.
I guess the moral of the story is: Don't help deer because the government doesn't like it.

@CatJuggler Unfortunately I think there's is a world-wide power trip going on, our government definitely included.
People in positions of "power" tend to think they can run other people's lives better than the people themselves.. so they come up with these hair brained "laws" and "regulations" to find reasons to interfere with everyday people who are not bothering anyone and who are not endangering society in the least.
And as much as you think it's just hap More..

So it would of been better if they left the deer to die as opposed to taking it into your home, make it better and setting it free? Your arguement is that now the deer cannot fend for itself and would die if left in the wild? The deer would of died anyways so whats the point? Leave the people alone and focus on more important things like our borders, the economy and a 2 state solution for israel and palestine. Once those are taken care of then we will have 100 years of peace.

Come on, America...WTF is wrong? The couple only did what good, caring people do! Going to jail for saving a deer....
Yup! America is becoming an insensitive police state, arresting good people for any stupid reason. When are people going to finally wake up and put a stop to this dictatorship?

They kept her to long. But prosecuting them IS a waste of time and resorces.They need to spend that energy on bad guys. I also like how the deer just got away the night before. Nice move guys. THAT is why the city is after them.

I see nothing wrong here. If I ever get hit by a car or almost die, I would as well want someone to take care of my wounds, give me my own pen, feed me, love me, and then put me back into the forest so I get hit by another car.

Create a Simple Portfolio Website and Blog with Textpattern
*** UPDATED: The original zip file was missing a few important files. Please re-download the zip file to get all the files referenced in this tutorial. ***
Why Textpattern?
Okay, I will be the first to admit that when I first started with Textpattern, I was in way over my head. I had never worked with a CMS before, and I wasn't an expert with CSS. I had stumbled upon a beautiful portfolio website by another web designer, and I noticed in the footer that the website was built using Textpattern. I thought to myself, if this designer can build a dynamic portfolio website using Textpattern, surely I can too, right? So I made it my mission to learn and master Textpattern. I learned the hard way, since I didn't know anyone who was familiar with it (Wordpress always seemed to be the CMS of choice). However, Textpattern has an enormously helpful community and many helpful articles, blogs, and forums where other users were generous enough to share their tips, tricks and plugins. Textpattern has now become my CMS of choice as I have found it to be undeniably powerful and flexible, and it doesn't require any knowledge or experience with PHP (not to mention, it's free and open source). Once you wrap your head around the basics, you can bend Textpattern to your will quite easily. Check out the publishing features on the textpattern website.
Getting started
This tutorial assumes that you have a fairly strong understanding of HTML and CSS, however I am using an adapted version of Google Blueprint CSS to keep things extra simple. We will be building a very simple portfolio website with a blog component. I will continue to add articles which will build on textpattern's functionality, but for now I am stripping a lot of Textpattern's defaults, which can be quite confusing if you're not sure about the syntax.
Head over to the textpattern website to download the latest version. Follow the detailed install instructions.
You will also need the files I provided in this zip file:
Login to your site, and you should see something like this:
You will notice that Textpattern has 4 tabs at the top: content, presentation, admin, and view site. Go to your admin tab, and check your diagnostics to make sure that there are no errors in your installation. If all checks have passed, head over to your preferences, and change your site name and slogan (even if you choose for these not to appear as is, you should change them to be relevant to your own site). It is a matter of personal preference, but I like to change my permanent link mode to section/title, as I like the way it appears in my url. Since this is a beginner tutorial, I would recommend leaving the other settings as is until you are more comfortable with Textpattern.
In the Textpattern handbook, it is recommended that you code your site in HTML and CSS before building it on Textpattern. I tend to build my sites live within Textpattern because I find the textpattern tags and plugins can achieve what I want much faster than coding it by hand. It's really a matter of personal preference.
What I am going to do is STRIP AWAY the Textpattern defaults, and simplify things a little bit. Once you get more comfortable with textpattern, you can begin to add in more functionality, but for the purposes of understanding how textpattern works, I think the defaults are a bit overkill when you're learning.
In a nutshell
In a nutshell, textpattern works by posting articles (think of articles as your main content) to sections (main navigation) of your site. Each section is associated with a page template. The pages tab under Presentation is where you dictate the HTML structure of your page. This is where your html combines with txp tags to create the functionality of your templates. The style tab under presentation is where the css resides. Forms are the most powerful part of textpattern; they tell an article how, when, where, and why to appear! More details on forms below.
Set up your sections
Think of sections as the main navigation of your site. In this example, we'll use about, work, blog and contact. There is no need to create a "home" section, as the "default" section IS the home section, and you will notice that textpattern already has an about section by default. So create a work, blog, and contact section. I tend to leave the "articles" section that is there by default, and I use it to post my articles that appear only on the homepage but nowhere else. For the about and contact page, I tend to select NO for the setting: "on front page" , since the homepage can display articles from all sections, and I do not want my contact page to appear on my homepage.
Install your plugins
There are a number of plugins that are incredibly useful that I tend to install by default each time I create a new site. In the download files I have provided a plugin folder where you will find a number of txt files that contain the plugins you will need for this tutorial. Open the txt files one by one, and install the plugins by going to your Admin > Plugins tab. Just copy and paste the text into the field, and hit upload. You will see a preview of the plugin. Scroll down and click Install. You will then see your plugin title, author, and description. By default, the plugins are NOT active until you click "no" under active to switch it to "yes." Do this with all of the plugins provided in the plugins folder.
Create your forms
Forms work in one of two ways:
1. As a reusable snippet of information.
Your header, footer and navigation are likely to be the same on every page, so you would create this as a form, which you would then call into your page template.
An example of this type of form would be the header form, which you will find in the forms folder of the tutorial download. In your textpattern backend, go to Presentation > Forms, and create a new form. Call it header, and choose "misc" for the type. Copy and paste the following code into the body of the form and save:

<txp:site_name />
 <txp:section_list wraptag="ul" break="li" include_default="1" default_title="home" sections=", about, work, blog, contact" active_class="active"/>

What this does it creates a div with an ID of head, uses your h1 tag to call your site name, and creates your main navigation. <txp:section_list /> creates a list of all the the site sections. What I have done is narrowed the selection down so it just calls the default section (while naming it "home"), the about section, work, blog and contact. It will wrap the entire list in a "ul", and wrap each individual section with a "li". It will also automatically add a class of "active" to the current section's li. If you want more flexibility with your menu, you can always hard code it with HTML, however, this <txp:section_list /> tag is usually all you really need. By default, the section_list ul is assigned a class of .section_list.
2. It tells an article how to behave
One of the most important tags in your page template will be the <txp:article /> tag.
The following snippet:
<txp:article form="single" listform="default" />
basically means: display the article using the form named "single" if you are on an individual article page, and using the form named "default" when you are displaying a list of articles.
In your Presentation > Forms, the "single" form could look like this: (which would just display the title and the body of the article)

<txp:title />
 <txp:body />
while the "default" form could look something like this: (which would display the title, and excerpt, with a link to the full version of the article)

<txp:title />
 <txp:excerpt />
<a class="more" href="<txp:permlink />">read more

A list of the most basic and useful forms are provided to you in the forms folder in the download for this tutorial. Create all of them in the Presentation > Forms. If you notice that some of the forms already exist, just override the textpattern defaults with the ones i'm providing. You should have the following forms (in brackets is the "type" you must select for the form):
- portfolio_listing (article)
- portflio (article)
- intro (article)
- single (article)
- subnav (article)
- article_listing (article)
- default (article)
- head (misc)
- foot (misc) – make sure you add your own copyright info
- meta (misc) – make sure you add your own meta data in this form!
- excerpt (article)
- (article)
Set up your page templates
I have created very simplified versions of the textpattern defaults, which you can build upon as you get more comfortable. In the Pages folder, you will find 3 files: default.html, archive.html and home.html. Override the textpattern defaults with the ones I am providing to you. Make sure you go back to your sections, and tell the default section to use page home, the blog page should use archive, and the rest should use default. You must hit save after each change, you cannot change multiple sections at once.
Set up your style
I have created a master style sheet based on Google Blueprint CSS and incorporates some of the Textpattern defaults. Copy the content from the screen.css file provided in the Styles folder and paste it into your default styles tab under Presentation > Style.
Add your portfolio
I have created this portfolio with certain defaults, to help you get a feel for how textpattern works. Once you understand the basics, you should feel free to use your own image sizes, css, etc. As a basis, portfolio images should be sized to maximum width of 620px. Upload a few of your own images (i've included a few placeholder images) through the content > images tab. Specify a size of 300px wide by 200px tall for your thumbnail. Click "crop" to avoid the image being squished to fit your dimensions. Hit save once you are finished. There are additional plugins which are fantastic for offering advanced image editing; if you are feeling adventurous, I highly recommend this plugin: ebl-image-edit, which will allow you greater flexibility for creating thumbnails and cropping, etc. Once you have uploaded an image, you will notice that Textpatern automatically assigns the image an id number. Take note of the id number, as that is how you will refer to your images in the future.
Head over to the Content > Write tab to write your first article. Give it a title, put a description in the body. On the left, click "advanced options" and under article image, enter the id #'s (separated by a comma) of the images you wish to be associated with this article. Then, assign the article to the "work" section. When you are finished, hit "publish." Continue to write your articles, assigning your images to each article. When you have written a few articles, you should click "view site" in the top right of the textpattern window. I tend to leave one tab with the textpattern backend open, with the live site in another, so I can easily refresh and see any changes (or errors!)
You should see something like this:
This is basically the work page in its "listform." If you click on any of the thumbnails or article titles, you will see the "individual article," which should look something like this:
If you take a look at the code in the page template for work, you will notice this textpattern tag:
<txp:article listform="portfolio_listing" form="portfolio" sort="posted desc" limit="30" />
If we analyze the form portfolio_listing, it looks like this:

 <txp:permlink> <txp:upm_article_image type="thumbnail" limit="1" class="border"/> </txp:permlink>
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
 <txp:excerpt />

This basically tells the page to list articles in the form of a div with a class of .span-8, which contains the "image associated with the article", in the form of a thumbnail, limit it to 1 image, and link the image to the full version of the article. Underneath the image is the "title" of the article in the style of h3, which also links to the full version of the article. Beneath that, show the excerpt associated with that article.
If you take a look at the form "portfolio", you should see this:

<txp:title />
 <txp:body />

 <txp:upm_article_image />

This basically creates a div with a class of .span-8 which contains the title and body of the article. Beside it floats a div with a class of .span-16 last, which contains the images associated with the article. Should you wish for the title to appear above the images on the right, you would simply move the
<txp:title />
 over to the div with the class of .span-16. These forms basically determine the layout for your articles.
A note about article and article_custom
You will notice in the home.html template, that there are two different ways to call articles: <txp:article /> and <txp:article_custom />. It took me a while to wrap my brain around the difference between the two, but here is how it works:
<txp:article /> will call your full article in whatever form you tell it to use. It is section-specific, which means it will automatically call an article from the section you are currently visiting. You must always have an article tag on your page.
<txp:article_custom /> Think of this as a LIST of your articles, in whatever form you tell it to use. Using this tag, you can call articles from ANY section into a page. For example, one the homepage, I am using the article_custom tag to display a snippet from the work, blog, and articles sections. In the archive template for example, on the left-hand side, I am using article_custom to display a full list of all articles posted to the blog page (in the form of subnav), and I am using the plugin "rvm_if_this_article" to automatically detect the current article and make it active.
Create your contact page
You can use the plugins provided (zem_contact_lang and zem_contact_reborn) to create a contact form on your contact page. If you have already installed the plugins provided, and wish to use the contact form, copy and paste the following details into the body of a new article. To avoid formatting with textile, (textile will automatically render things in paragraphs) put a space before each line. Putting a space tells textpattern to format as is, with html, not textile.
<txp:zem_contact to="[email protected]" label=""> <txp:zem_contact_text label="Name" break=""/> <txp:zem_contact_email label="Email" break=""/> <txp:zem_contact_textarea label="Message" rows="10" cols="23" break=""/> <txp:zem_contact_submit label="Send" /> </txp:zem_contact>
In the excerpt, paste any information you wish to be on the left hand side of the page, such as links to your facebook, twitter, or other profiles. And/or you could place an image here; it's up to you. Assign the article to the "contact" page, and publish.
Create your about page
Create a new article for your about page. In the body write your bio. In the excerpt, place your photo (or other additional information you wish to provide). In order to call an image, you would write the following: <txp:image id="#" /> and of course, replace the # with the proper image id number. Assign the article to the about section and publish. If you want to change how this page is displayed, you can edit the form named about.
Create your blog page
There are a million and one ways to organize your blog, and I am just demonstrating a very simplified way, since this is probably a whole other tutorial.
Write your blog article. Add an excerpt (usually the first paragraph of your blog). Publish it to your blog section. (You can feel free to create categories, and assign your article to categories, but I won't get into how to navigate by category in this tutorial- stay tuned). When you click on the blog page, you should see a list of your articles in the form of a Title with an h3 style, followed by the articles' excerpt. You can click on the title to reach the full version of the article. You will notice a list of your blog articles on the left. I have limited the page to 10 articles on the listing page. When there are more than 10 articles, the page will display a link on the bottom that says "older" and "newer". This page will always display the most recent articles first. Should you wish to change the order, you can change the timestamp of the article. Click on the article you wish to edit, and on the bottom right you will see a link that says "more." Click that and you will notice that you can manually reset the timestamp. Hit save. Obviously, this is somewhat of a temporary solution for a blog, since having many blog postings would create quite a long list on the left. Stay tuned for an article on navigating your blog by category. If you wish for comments to be allowed, you must turn them "on" in the actual article itself. On the right hand side of the article page, you will see "allow comments." Choose yes or no.
Bring it all Home
Now it's time to create your homepage.
Create an article that will be an introductory paragraph on the homepage. We are using the form "intro" on this article, so it won't display the title. If you want this article to use a title, change the form in the tag to "single" instead of "intro". To clarify, you are looking for this tag in your home page template:
<txp:article_custom status="sticky" sort="posted asc" form="intro"/>
Otherwise, use the heading of h3 in your body by typing h3. (with a space after the period) before your copy. (As opposed to wrapping your copy in
 tags) On the right, choose a status of "sticky". We are making this article "sticky" because we don't want it to be affected by newly written articles- it is more or less "static" content. Your work articles will always be displayed with the status of live, and the homepage will always display the most recent work.
You will notice in the "home" page template, that there is this tag: <txp:image id="3″ />. Replace this number with the # of the image you want to appear here. The size is set to 940px wide by 350px high. Upload an image of that size through your images tab, and then replace the number in that tag with the appropriate id #.
Also on the homepage is a snippet from the most recent blog posting. If you want to change how the blog appears, you must edit the form "article_listing". Keep in mind, this will change how your blogs appear on your blog page as well. If you wish for your blog to appear differently on the homepage than it does on the blog page, simple change the form used in this tag on your home template form:
<txp:article_custom form="article_listing" section="blog" limit="1" sort="posted desc"/>
Try it out!
I've provided templates/forms/css to you to help simplify some of Textpattern's funcionality, but its really up to you to make it work how you want it to. It is a very powerful CMS, and I would recommend looking through some of the textpattern tags to see what is available. There are many powerful "if" statements that provide even greater flexibility. Feel free to change any of the pages/forms/html and css I have provided to tailor it to your own needs. There are tons of resources out there to help you understand how to use it better. I highly recommend setting up a test site where you can play freely and experiment. There are so many different ways to work with textpatterns functionality; this is just the tip of the iceberg! If you think you might want to consider textpattern as your cms of choice, I recommend checking out the following sites:

Southern Pine Electric Power Association says it has received reports of telephone scams being directed at its members.
Officials said there are variations of the scam, but all claim to have money from the federal government that will be used to pay the Southern Pine member's electric bill.
In some cases the victim is asked to provide credit card information to cover a processing fee to Paymentus, an automated payment service. Once the thief has that information he is able to make charges on the account.
"This is just one example of the telephone scams Southern Pine members are reporting," said Donald L. Jordan, general manager. "We ask our members and the public to not give any personal or banking information over the phone to someone you don't know. This also includes your Social Security number."
In addition to Southern Pine, other electric power cooperatives in South Mississippi have reported similar telephone scams in their service areas.
