HI Amatyr4n,
I downloaded this a few months back when it was Themeforests' free item of the month, because I figured I could use it for a future project and it looks really neat and I love the design.
Well today I finally had a project I needed it for; so I unzipped the files and started taking a look. The first thing I noticed is that there are not any HTML files at all (not even 1.) But, the item details for this template say 'Themeforest Included Files: HTML , CSS, JS, PHP , JPeg' etc. but there is not any HTML here. What can I do?
Can I open the Index.php file in Dreamweaver and then use the 'Save As' command to save it as an HTML file, and would that work?
Thanks! Ruby
UPDATE : So sorry about that, I was confusing Freshlr with a completely DIFFERENT 1 -page template I downloaded as a free file of the month a while ago. It was an online resume template that looked somewhat similar to this one and I just totally mixed them up!
hi Amatyr4n, ok I found my Freshler zip file and am actually working with the right template now. Love it so far, very nice work!! Might want to let people know though about how they need to set colors in the jQuery at the bottom because for the first few minutes that confused the heck 'outta me. Its all good now though!
Hi RubyLu, no problem thanks for using and spreading my work
Great template ( and code ). Is there a chance to not make the nav slide? I would just like to keep the nav at the top left of page without it sliding. Any tips? Thanks in advance!
Hi bclifford, except if the browser window is too small, by default the navigation will always follows viewport, but you can disable the animation by setting this option
,animateSidebar : true
to false.
I have 2 pre-sales questions:
1 – Is it easy to change the background picture ? 2 – Is it viewable on iPhones / iPads ?
Kind regards, RadCon.
Hi RadCon,
1. Yes it is, you only need to change a line of CSS
2. Just like any other site
Oh s**t ! I'm afraid this author has died
It's been 3 months now since he didn't reply to any message.
Oh s* **t (read: sweet ) lol no I'm not
This doesnt' work on my iphone. I had read a comment a while back that it does…..do I have something disabled?
You probably get this a lot, but I cant see it by scanning back on the comments, but is there a wp version too?
If not…
...why not?!
It is a lovely design and just what I am looking for in a wp theme!
I see no way to STOP images from doing the lightbox effect if you just want them to be links.
So, if I just want my images to be links – like banners – how do you allow them to be links to URLs and not try to open the URL in a lightbox effect???
How can you make a link IN the content that triggers to one of the other pages?
For example, this does not work Contact Us if it is in the body of the page to trigger a jump to the Contact page. This only works from the nav sidebar.
I found 1 way to stop the lightbox effect on select images, make the images DIV 's in the css and not actually img's in the page.
the fix to letting text links or images link to pages IN the site is links like this
the key is that class="xtrig"
I cannot get the Google Analytics script to appear in the source. Firebug's console displays "match" but the script is nowhere to be seen. Any thoughts on what may be missing?
Bump. Anyone there? The Google analytics script is still not appearing in the website source. Can anyone shed some light on why it is not loading.
hi mate! nice work! i downloaded your template when it was free, now i'm looking to buy the update but first i've to fix some bugs…
how i can remove the bottom-column?
orhow i can make the bottom-column and the entire page interactive with an accordion menu like this one
if i exclude modernizer.js or freshly.js the page resize… i need to resolve to buy the update, thanks!

The 2010 exits showed that private equity owners were proactively seeking potential buyers and engaging with them well in advance of a sale.
Private equity continues to out-perform equivalent public companies, notwithstanding the challenging conditions we have seen over recent times.
Our returns attribution analysis shows that, over the long term, 40% of the gross investment return on PE exits comes from out-performance, 31% from stock market returns and 29% from additional leverage (over public company benchmarks).
Put another way, the gross return on the PE exits is over 3x the public market return. This has been achieved as PE exits have outperformed public companies on all key value drivers — +2.1% in EBITDA growth, +0.1% in employment growth and +0.7% in productivity growth. Analyzing these results further by country, sector and deal size shows positive investment returns and out-performance.
Carving out these exits between 2008 and 2010 — the worst of the recession — we found that, even though the other sources of return — stock market and additional leverage — were negative because of poor economic conditions, PE exits still generated positive returns overall because of its ability to add value to portfolio companies through strategic and operational improvement.
As with North America, our analysis of European exits shows that EBITDA growth has risen in importance as a driver of PE's value creation compared to the pre-crisis years. This is in part a reflection of the fact that it is harder to generate returns through multiple expansion in difficult markets.
However, it also provides strong evidence of PE's increased focus on growing portfolio companies. While this has always been an important component of PE's toolkit for value creation, recent times have seen firms place much greater emphasis on growth than was previously the case.
We analyzed the sources of EBITDA growth in companies exited in our database. The most striking finding is that organic revenue growth is proportionally the largest contributor, accounting for 46% of profit growth across the period, but that it is also more significant for companies exited in 2010.
Cost-reduction and bolt-on acquisitions accounted for a much smaller share of EBITDA growth over the five-year period and in particular in 2010. In aggregate, bolt-on acquisitions outweigh disposals on this measure by 2.3 to 1.
Sources of EBITDA growth 2006 - 10, by year of exit
PE is using a number of strategies for achieving organic revenue growth and we found evidence that PE ownership is leading to fundamental changes in its portfolio companies. Over half of this growth comes from initiatives that changed the business model or strategy.
Changing a company's offering by, for example, repositioning it in the market, developing and selling new products and expanding geographically were all highly important factors in driving organic revenue growth for companies in our research and particularly in 2010. Indeed, in aggregate, they accounted for more organic revenue growth than the more functional improvements to pricing and selling.
Our study demonstrates the more fundamental changes that PE investors are able to achieve in portfolio companies, the greater the impact on profit growth. It is a harder route, but generates better results for companies and, ultimately, enhanced returns for PE.
The share of growth from market demand is lower than in prior years, reflecting the adverse effect on a number of businesses of the recession.
Drivers of organic revenue EBITDA growth: PE exits 2007 - 10
To achieve fundamental change, our study shows that PE is using a variety of approaches, includingworking more closely with its portfolio companies.
This suggests that PE is willing and able to support portfolio companies' strategies to position them for future growth and that it will put in the time to re-evaluate and adapt business plans in response to a changing economic environment.
As we found in last year's report, getting the management right at the outset remains key to an investment's success and to achieving organic revenue growth. Our analysis for 2010 confirms that backing top teams or identifying them before the deal and putting them in place on completion are highly important.
The penalties for getting this wrong are severe. Based on exits achieved between 2005 and 2010, we found that replacing management during the investment adds up to 1.6 years to the holding period and reduces returns. However, it should be noted that PE's active ownership and ability to replace executives enables it to drive improvements in the companies it backs.
Without this level of engagement, the companies may have suffered a worse fate, particularly in the difficult times we have witnessed over the last few years. Clearly, a focus on getting the right team from the start is essential, particularly as we have highlighted that PE is increasingly seeking to implement far-reaching and profound changes to a business.
PE uses a variety of strategies for this and our research found that it was investing significant time up front on ensuring they back the right people by: tracking the company before investment so that PE could observe the management at work; building strong relationships with the management team so that PE could understand their strengths and ambitions and — importantly — identifying any weaknesses that needed to be dealt with; and backing a management team that had successfully executed a similar strategy.
In last year's report, we pointed to an increased use of 100- day plans, operating partners and consultants by PE as other enablers of profit and value growth. This year, we sought to understand how they were being used to drive value. Our analysis shows that all these initiatives added value to profits growth for companies exited in 2009–10, with some interesting variations.
Consultants were used in more than 60% of exits, with a skew towards larger businesses. Operating partners were used at about half the frequency of consultants overall, mostly when the incumbent management team was retained. 100-day plans were commonly used at the outset and more likely if there was a new management team.

It was hard to appreciate the sunrise at 5.30am, but it was beautiful. We packed up and headed into Kaikoura with Harold. Luckily, the weather for our trip was perfect. The seas were flat calm and there was barely any breeze.
After our safety briefing, our group were taken by bus to a nearby bay where we boarded the boat. We whizzed out to sea at some speed and after approximately half an hour we stopped to "listen" for whales
Everyone was very excited. I was trying to disguise my retching from the sea sickness that I was feeling. It was very embarrassing. The conditions were excellent and the sea looked like a mirror, but there I was, grey in the face, groaning at the back of the boat with a sick bag in hand. I couldn't give a toss about the seal that we saw, the wandering albatross or the flock of shearwaters, let alone the whale!
After another twenty minutes bobbing around we were informed that the whale could be spotted on the surface. The boat gradually approached the whale as it rested on the surface, recovering from the exertions of its dive. Overhead a light aircraft circled repeatedly, no doubt giving customers a spectacular aerial view.
Despite my waves of nausea I have to say that this whale was pretty spectacular. It remained on the surface for about 15 minutes, periodically spouting water from its spout. And then its head dipped below the surface, its tail flipped above the water giving everyone that classic "tail fin out of the water" shot, and it disappeared into the depths once again.

Everyone knows two things about beetroot. One: it's used to make borscht. Two: it's horrible. Or wonderful. People love it or loathe it, and there's rarely any wishy-washiness between those extremes. As a member of the beet-loving faction, I would like to add a few more points to your certainties. The most crucial of which concerns preparation, not cooking.
Why preparation? Because as soon as you expose the interior, you expose your hands, chopping board and cooking vessels to nearly indelible staining. Solution? Postpone the exposure by cooking the bulbs with their skins intact. First, buy small beetroot - no bigger in diameter than the length of your index finger. Trim away all but an inch or two of the leaf stem (save the leaves, if they're in crisp, lively condition, for a great salad) and leave the rodent's-tail-like tip intact. Wash the beetroot with alarming thoroughness - a really good scrub, though not brutal enough to break the skin.
You're now ready to cook that beetroot in the best of all possible ways: by roasting it. Oven temperature's flexible, and may be determined by the temperature you're using to do other things, but something in the vicinity of 200C/400F/gas mark 6 is ideal. Put the bulbs in a roasting pan, with a bit of space between them, and rub the skins with oil - this keeps them from going excessively brittle and so makes peeling easier. Start testing after an hour, and don't be surprised if they need up to 15 minutes on top of that. Test as you would a baked potato, with a small, sharp knife or a metal skewer.
When the beetroot is cooked, it's ready for action. Meaning: back to preparation mode. As soon as they're cool enough to handle (five minutes should do it), put them on a plate (not a stain-magnet chopping board). Don a pair of rubber gloves, if you have some, to keep your hands from turning purple. Carefully peel, rub and pick away the skin, taking care to remove every single scrap. Transfer to another plate.
When skins are sloughed off, you're ready to rock. Roll the purple globes into an oiled pan with some lightly cooked garlic and/or onion, toss in the hot oil for a minute or two, and serve as a side dish. To turn them into a salad, cut into slices or batons. But beware: the knife should be a table knife, preferably serrated, rather than a kitchen knife, which would be dulled by contact with the plate. Toss with a vinaigrette, accessorising with any variety of allium, and either use immediately or leave in the fridge for up to three or four days. And you may, of course, use them to make borscht. But you knew that already.

I have discovered a new brand and a wonderful new candle. This is the Osprey London Dark Amber Candle – the perfect home addition to get you feeling festive. It looks beautiful too.
|Osprey London Dark Amber Candle
It comes in a gorgeously heavy, frosted glass candle holder, and I love the classic branding in a lovely soft grey. Very classy.
Before I move on the fragrance (which is heavenly FYI) I should tell you that the outer packaging is also beautiful in a equally simple and understated way, making the candle a wonderful gift. Have a look:
|Osprey London Dark Amber Candle
Once lit, the candle infuses the room with deliciousness very quickly. It really is lovely. Interestingly, it was a big hit with my boyfriend too. Mind you, I am such a candle addict now that he too has become quite a connoisseur!
|Osprey London Dark Amber Candle
Osprey's Dark Amber is christmassy without any cliche. I love amber and it is beautifully weighted with soft woods. Osprey describe is as "A rich and heady blend of precious woods and spicy amber with a mysterious hint of smoky incense". I describe it as "gorgeous"!!
It is also rather good value – £30 for 50 hours burn which is really rather competitive in today's candle market. Lovely! There is also a fab range of reed diffusers if that is your home fragrance weapon of choice – they are £35. Other Oprey London fragrances include Fig Tree, Cut Wood and Cut Grass.

Rowe's Last Minute Heroics Net Lobos 2-1 win
Oct. 21, 2012
Albuquerque, N.M. --- For nearly 70 minutes, the script was all wrong for the University of New Mexico. Then just like Hollywood, the seniors came through on Senior Day, and rode off with a happy ending, in this case a dramatic 2-1 win over Wyoming thanks to a last minute senior connection on the game-winning goal.
Stephanie Rowe is who goes down the hero, as her header over a defender and into the upper corner with just 1:08 on the clock gave UNM a 2-1 victory, sending UNM's seven seniors out on a winning home note. Rowe was set up by Rachel Montoya, a fellow senior, who was visibly moved after the game as the emotions got the better of many of the 1,282 in attendance.
The day started off with a ceremony honoring Rowe, Montoya, Kelli Cornell, Jordan Craig, Lauren Irwin, Sinead Fleming, and Natalie Jenks, and the emotions of that spilled out onto the pitch, as UNM peppered Wyoming keeper Courtney Merkle with shot after shot in the opening 20 minutes. Rachel Montoya hammered a shot on net in the opening 15 seconds, and it stayed that way, with the Lobos posting 10 shots in the opening 17:28 of the game.
However, it went horribly wrong at the 24:34 mark, when Olivia Mohtadi stole a ball outside the box, and then chipped one over a helpless Cornell into the back corner of the net, and it was 1-0 Wyoming.
UNM couldn't tie before halftime, and it looked like UNM did tie the game with 32 minutes left when Montoya's service into the box was knocked in off a rebound by Natalie Jenks, but the ball deflected off her arm before going in, and the goal was wiped out. Jenks a few moments later had a header that just went wide, as she was thorn in Wyoming's side with five shots.
Needing a break, a bounce, anything, UNM finally got it with 20:09 left when Elba Holguin found Jordan Craig at the top of the box. Craig played a ball quickly to Montoya on the right side, who took a touch and put a seemingly harmless, if not hard shot low on net. Merkle went down and got a piece of it, but the momentum of the ball spun it over her, and it rolled into the net for the tying goal, Montoya's fifth of the year.
It was Cornell's turn to come up big on senior day just minutes later with nine to go when Liz O'Reilly ripped a shot from 18-yards out, put Cornell dove far to her right and stopped the low liner that was ticketed for the lower corner. Despite the lone goal allowed, Cornell teamed with senior defenders Lauren Irwin and Sinead Fleming in limiting Wyoming to just a few opportunities.
Then, with the clock ticking down, it was Montoya and Rowe to the rescue, rewriting a potential horror story into a fairy-tale ending. Montoya got a ball on the right side and dribbled into space before serving a ball between the penalty spot and the six. Rowe climbed the ladder and got a header on it over two defenders, leaving Merkle no chance except to turn and watch and pray it hit the woodwork as she dove.
It didn't. Rowe's shot went right into the upper corner, touching off a raucous celebration as 1:08 showed on the clock. It was in effect a sudden-death goal, and it gave UNM the 2-1 win, marking the second time this season UNM has comeback after trailing at the half.
Even better for UNM, the win coupled with Boise State's 1-1 tie with UNLV and Fresno State's 0-0 tie with Nevada means the Lobos clinched the No. 2 seed in the Mountain West Tournament. San Diego State defeated Air Force 3-0 to clinch the regular season title. UNM could finish in a tie with Boise State, but UNM owns the tiebreak by virtue of its 1-0 win on September 28.
The Lobos have one more game left, and that's a now inconsequential game against San Diego State, at least in terms of seeding, as both teams have byes into the Mountain West semifinals. However, it will be UNM's best shot to get a highly ranked win and improve their RPI, as San Diego State is ranked No. 6 nationally.
NOTES: Montoya and Rowe each lead the team with five goals ... UNM dominated in shots 23-10 , and 7-3 on net ... Brianna Webster, who left Friday's game with an injury, was held out as a precaution, with Alexis Leyba starting in her place ... UNM has now gone 13 consecutive home games without a loss, going 11-0-2, extending UNM's school record ... it marked the second time in three season UNM finished the home season without a loss, going 6-0-0 in 2010 ... UNM is 20-1-3 in the last 24 at home ... The Lobos have recorded at least 10 wins in four straight seasons, and the team clinched its eighth straight winning record ... Rowe now leads the team with three game-winning goals ... the Lobos averaged 1,781 fans per game this season.

Castletown (Irish: Baile an Chaisleáin) is a small village and also a parish in County Laois in Ireland.
Castletown is known as "The Tidiest Village in Laois". Chairman of the Tidy Towns committee is Seán Fleming, TD. Not only is Castletown the Tidiest Village in Laois but in 1998, Castletown were just four points behind the national winner. They won the overall Irish Tidy Towns Competition in 2002.
The older Irish name for the town was Baile Chaisleáin Ua bhFoirchealláin (meaning "castle-town of Uí Fhoirchealláin"). This has been anglicised as Ballycashlan-Offerillan and Ballycaslane-Offeralane. Uí Fhoirchealláin is the name of the parish and was added to distinguish it from another Castletown.[1]
According to an extract from a Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, by Samuel Lewis, London, 1837, Castletown was "a village in the Parish of Offerlane, barony of Upper Ossory, Queen's county, and province of Leinster, 1 3⁄4 miles (S.by W.) from Mountrath; containing 367 inhabitants. It takes its name from an ancient castle, occupying a commanding situation on the bank of the River Nore, and which, in the early part of the 16th century, was garrisoned by Sir Oliver Norris, son-in-law of the Earl of Ormonde, with a view to curb the power of the Fitzpatricks, to whom it was afterwards relinquished." The extract continues "the village is pleasantly situated on the river Nore, and on the road from Dublin to Limerick, it contains 59 houses, many of which are good residences, and the whole has an appearance of neatness and respectability".
Places of interest[edit]
Gash Gardens and the De La Salle Brothers monastery which has been in the village since 1881.
There are three national schools in the parish - Castletown Primary School, Paddock National School and Rushall National School. The nearest secondary school is the newly opened Mountrath Community School
Castletown has a gaelic Athletic Association club called Castletown GAA, while another club in the parish is called Slieve Bloom GAA.
A new bridge was built in 1972 which relieved previously serious traffic congestion in the village.
The village is served by Bus Éireann Expressway route 12 linking it to Dublin, Dublin Airport, Portlaoise, Limerick and other locations.
Mountrath and Castletown railway station opened on 1 September 1848, closed for goods traffic on 3 November 1975 and finally closed altogether on 6 September 1976.[2] Nowadays the nearest rail services may be accessed at Portlaoise railway station and Ballybrophy railway station.

SCAD sequential art students take gold and bronze in national comic book contest
/SCAD sequential art student teams won first and third place in 2012 Comics Student Marathon for their comics (L. to R.) "Chronicles of Larisonia" and "The Takers."/
Two teams of four Savannah College of Art and Design sequential art grad students won first and third place in the Mix 2012 Comics Student Marathon, which challenged student artists to create a 24-page comic book in a 24-hour marathon session.
First place in the nationwide contest, which came with a $500 prize, went to "Chronicles of Larisonia: Dawson's Quest" by Jorge Corona, Adam Del Re, Jen Hickman and Ariela Kristantina.
Third place, with a $200 prize, went to "The Takers" by Morgan Beem, Phil Jacobson, Jeeyon Kim and Gloria McAndrew.
The competition began Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 8 a.m. and ended 24 hours later. Competitors sequestered themselves in a classroom in Norris Hall - surviving on a love of comics, coffee and a never-ending playlist - and created in 24 hours what normally would take 24 days.
Generally, each page of a comic book takes a day to create. So, to design 24 pages in one day - complete with story concept, character and setting design, page layout, penciling, lettering and inking - was a creative challenge.
"I am extremely proud of these students for the unwavering dedication and energy they showed during this challenge," said Anthony Fisher, chair of the sequential art department. "These awards are a testament to what talent, passion, and a little caffeine can achieve."
"Participating in this competition was an incredible experience," said Jen Hickman, "and I'm so proud of all of us for working so well together. Both teams completely blew my socks off."
"The experience was exhilarating," said Phil Jacobson. "After the first 12 hours you're working on pure adrenaline. It's exhausting, but totally worth it. My team was awesome and placing third made all the hard work feel even more rewarding."
A select group of works will also be compiled into a book.

He proved that he wasn't a one season wonder.
Printable View
There's a big difference between Cruz and most of the WRs listed. The (most) ones listed are big, strong, physical WRs that can make the tough catch in traffic. They are far less reliant on "getting separation" than Cruz is. Honestly, I don't think Cruz is that kind of WR that warrants top dollar. His skillset is more easily replaced than most of the WRs listed.
Don't get me wrong. I love him to death. But for top dollar (assuming he asks that much), I'd take many other WRs in the league over him. Numbers don't lie. He definitely no one year wonder. But he lacks the physicality that warrants the big contract.
Can he catch the ball? Can he run? Can he catch and run? Can he score? Is he a reliable target? These are aspects that matter, and Cruz conforms to them in a big way.
For example, I'm not saying he's yet at the level of Roddy White--although Cruz's 2 year numbers are actually a little better than White's, the past 2 years--but Cruz is the same size as White. Is White not worth "the big contract"?
He was on ir his first year. He Was older, and thus closer to his prime than virtually all of those guys during the two years
I don't think Cruz's stats first two years are anything to scoff at. What probably helped him out the most was he was unheralded coming out of college and I'm sure teams didn't forge a strong game plan based on his skills.

Last night, the Dolphins announced that Joe Philbin has been named the 10th head coach in the history of the Miami Dolphins. As news spread, several key figured from Philbin's time in Green Bay weighed in on the man and the opportunity:
"Joe's very important to our success. The day-to-day stuff – all the coaching responsibilities he has, installing plays and explaining plays, his role in those meetings, the way that he helps get practice run the right way – he does a ton for us."
"As players we probably don't even see half the stuff he does to get us ready during the week. So we're going to miss him, we really are."
"Joe has been a large part of my success as a player and growth as a person. I really enjoy our conversations together; (we) make sure we spend some time every Friday catching up, talking about things."
"Joe has an incredible command of a room, he really cares about relationships and people. He's a great teacher, a great leader."
Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy:
"I'm very excited for Joe and Diane, I got to see them briefly. Everyone is excited. He's worked hard for this opportunity."
"You don't replace people like Joe. I'm going to miss him personally a whole lot, forget as a professional. He's someone I enjoy being around. He's a great guy. This is a very good opportunity for him."
"He brings a lot to the table. You've got to be an excellent communicator in today's NFL; you have to be able to relate to all your people."
Former Packers Executive Andrew Brandt:
"Worked five years with Joe Philbin. Calm, cerebral, humble and a skilled offensive mind. His style will resonate with players."
"Dolphin fans have reason to smile. Joe Philbin's a skilled offensive mind with great emotional intelligence in handling NFL players."
"A huge congratulations to Joe Philbin on his HEAD COACH position in Miami. No one deserves it more than this guy. The Pack will miss him!"

Senior Fellow
Director, Policy Futures
Update, December 14: we've added a new paragraph to the end of this post.
As budget negotiators consider cutting health care entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid to help reduce deficits, they should keep in mind that policymakers have enacted cuts in the past two years that will save about $90 billion from health care entitlements over the next decade.
The first and last of these provisions, accounting for $45 billion in savings, paid for preventing scheduled cuts in payments to physicians through Medicare's "sustainable growth rate" formula. Since virtually all budget analysts assume that policymakers will continue to prevent these cuts but will not offset the cost, these savings represent a net reduction in the deficit relative to a current-policy baseline. The other two provisions offset the cost of tax cuts in the same legislation, so the legislation as a whole did not reduce the deficit.
In addition to these legislated cuts, the Supreme Court's June decision on health reform has also reduced projected health spending. The court's decision, as we have explained, essentially means that states can decide whether to expand their Medicaid programs to cover adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Not all states are expected to implement the expansion right away. As a result, CBO estimates that the court's decision will reduce the deficit by $84 billion over the next ten years, though it will also leave more people without health insurance.

Chris Wyles is hoping to transplant some of the Saracens know-how into the USA Eagles after meeting up with his international team-mates last night.
Wing Wyles was switched to full-back and played a crucial part of the 29-24 win over Wasps that saw his club move into a share of the lead in the Premiership with Harlequins before he travelled to Colwyn Bay to meet his American colleagues.
But Saracens were today fretting on the fitness of fly-half Charlie Hodgson who was sent for a scan last night on a cheek injury that director of rugby Mark McCall admitted looked bad.
In shocking conditions, Saracens produced a performance that was more beast than beauty — scoring just one try through lock Alistair Hargreaves.
But they found a way to win and the Connecticut-born Wyles is hoping to share his knowledge of how to dig out victories in his three weeks with the Eagles which includes matches against Russia, Tonga and Romania.
Wyles said: "It is big for us — we have three Test matches and they are all matches that we can win. As a side we need to learn to win and get the culture of knowing how to win games. This will be one of those steps.
"There are a couple of guys, Taku Ngwenya plays at Biarritz, Todd Clever has played in the Super 15s and Paul Emerick has been around. They have played in the professional set-up and are senior players now in the Eagles."
Despite scoring tries freely in Europe, Wyles's men have managed just two tries in their past two Premiership games but the jibes they are boring cut no ice with the American.
Wyles added: "When we do score four tries no one gives us any credit and when we don't score four tries everybody criticises us. It doesn't matter to us because we are sitting on the top of the table with Quins.
"We don't worry about that kind of stuff — one of the good things about the club is we know what we do and there is such a good atmosphere and culture that you don't get too wound up. There is no going away from the fact that guys like Chris Ashton and David Strettle love scoring tries — as a winger or a back-three player you want to score tries."
Wyles is one of a raft of players, including six Englishmen plus Scotland's Kelly Brown and South African Schalk Brits, who will not be available for LV=Cup and Premiership action in the next few weeks but is confident Saracens will be in rude health when he returns.
"We have got a fantastic squad," said Wyles. "It is always difficult during this international period — you are almost a victim of your own success with all these guys going away, especially the big England contingent. As a club you want these guys getting recognised and it's a great achievement to have so many players [in the England team]."
Wasps have no such problems but director of rugby Dai Young would not be surprised if second row Joe Launchbury and winger Christian Wade are in the senior England squad by the time of the Six Nations.
Launchbury had another stand-out afternoon at Vicarage Road and Wade set up Wasps's first try with a burst through midfield that was carried on by Hugo Southwell and finished by Tom Varndell.
Young said: "We all know what Christian can do with ball in hand and Joe is Mr Consistency. All they can do is keep playing like they are and they can't be far off England recognition. Stuart Lancaster thinks highly of both of them."Reuse content

High Fashion, Low Impact
Mission Savvy in Charleston offers sustainable, responsible clothing.
Photographed by Emily Porter Photography
When Jennifer Miller needed a name for her eco-friendly clothing boutique, she started by writing down words that resonated with her goals. "I wanted something with action," she says, "like, 'We're going to change this, and we're going to do it with power and strength.'" And so, Mission Savvy was born.
The "mission" of Mission Savvy is two-fold. Jennifer's boutique on Hale Street in downtown Charleston only sells clothing made of natural, sustainable fibers and produced by socially and ecologically responsible means. She also donates five percent of her profits to animal rescue and conservation projects.
Missions aside, the clothing is fabulous. The store carries designer, high-end fashion pieces made from surprising materials: hemp, soy, bamboo, eucalyptus, and even oak. Some of them can't be grown in the United States—hemp is illegal to cultivate and others can't be grown sustainably in U.S. climates—but all of the clothing is designed and produced in America. The quality and style of the clothes aren't compromised by their production values, though. Designers work hard to make sure garments have as much appeal as their less environmentally conscious competitors.
Jennifer buys from designers she knows and trusts—there's no accreditation for organic, eco fashion yet, so she does her own certification. She was stunned to learn how wasteful and harmful the clothing industry is: dyes and chemicals pollute the environment, factory production yields wasted materials, and poor labor practices contribute to poverty and poor health around the world. The clothes she sells are different.
The "savvy" in Mission Savvy might be a nod to fashion, but it's also an apt description of Jennifer herself. At 32, Mission Savvy is her second career. Her education is in animal behavior, and she spent the last decade working with animals across the globe. But just studying animals wasn't enough. "I've always been an entrepreneur at heart, and I've always been passionate about animals," she says. As a teenager, she became vegan and started a chapter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) at her high school. As she became frustrated by the scenes of animal cruelty she saw through her job, she decided to take her entrepreneurial spirit and activist bent and combine them to become a more effective advocate for animal welfare.
Jennifer opened Mission Savvy as an online boutique in February 2010. It's one of only a handful of eco-friendly clothing stores in the country and has international clientele. Mission Savvy was named one of the top 15 eco fashion boutiques by EcoSalon in April 2011. "Mission Savvy is definitely unique," says EcoSalon Managing Editor Amy DuFault. Jennifer doesn't sell anything with animal products in her store. "I hope more boutiques spring up around the country like hers, but I would say she is at the top for combining vegan and eco fashion," DuFault says.
A brick-and-mortar store wasn't part of Jennifer's original plan, but within months of launching the online shop, she was looking for space in Charleston. The volume of business was keeping her busy and isolated, and she began to feel she was missing something important: community engagement. She opened her shop on Hale Street in November 2010.
West Virginia might seem like an unlikely place for one of the nation's first eco fashion boutiques, but Jennifer likes it that way. She moved back to Charleston to launch her business because of the lower cost of living. "I knew it probably wouldn't take off as well as I wanted, so I wanted to lower my operating cost," she says. "If it did take off, I could live anywhere I wanted." Now, West Virginia is where she wants to be. "There's a hidden culture here with the arts, and the nature appeals to me." She might have more customers in a bigger city, but to Jennifer, the challenge is all the more reason to stay. "The whole point of this is to change attitudes."
The store is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It would be easy to dismiss the Denon AH-NC800 noise-cancelling headphones out of hand. At £250, they are £30 more expensive than the excellent AH-D2000 headphones, and it's hard to imagine that the AH-NC800s could be £30 better, as active noise-cancelling headphones rarely exceed the capabilities of their passive brethren. However, descended as they are from the AH-NC732 noise-cancelling headphones, which left us far from unimpressed, we'd be remiss not to at least give the AH-NC800s a chance to prove their worth.
With noise-cancelling headphones generally being used out and about, it's unsurprising that the AH-NC800s are pretty solidly built, if a little utilitarian feeling as a result. The thin, flimsy cable is the likeliest break-point, so it's nice to see that Denon has made this replaceable, as it connects to a 3.5mm jack socket on the left earcup. We wouldn't expect the AH-NC800s to break in what you could consider normal use, but they won't take a beating, and the only less-than-solid parts are the articulated joints which make the AH-NC800s foldable, and thus particularly portable, so it's a fair trade-off.
Fortunately for those worried about the structural integrity of the AH-NC800s, Denon supplies a semi-rigid case with them, so there's no reason to worry about placing these headphones in a bag. This case is also home to the AH-NC800's accessories, which comprise two cables of different lengths and an aeroplane adaptor. We'd have liked a volume attenuator as well, having been nearly deafened by inconsistent volume by more that one airline, but it's not the worst omission Denon could have made.
One addition we're slightly curious about is the three-position power switch on the right earcup. Off and On we had no problem with, but the Restorer option left us a little confused. Denon says that this: "improves the fidelity from your portable audio player," but leaves it to the user to figure out quite how. We have our theories, but aren't sure because, at least with the music we use to test (ranging from The Beta Band to Wagner), we couldn't discern any improvement from using this Restorer setting.
We chalk that up to two things: first, that we always use as high bit-rate encodes as we possibly can so any supposed enhancements have little room for improvement and, second, that the AH-NC800s sound good enough so adding an 'audio restorer' into the mix is completely unnecessary. The one caveat to that is the need to have the AH-NC800s turned on for them to sound any good - un-powered they need a lot of volume from the player to get any volume from the earpiece. However, this is hardly a criticism - anyone who buys active noise-cancelling headphones and is then surprised at needing to power them clearly has a screw or two loose.
Once again the gimmick of "noise cancelling headphones" strikes again! If they were so good at cancelling noise why don't DJ's use them, they rely on isolating the sound of one track through the headphones and the other via the speakers?
They are the audio equivalent of a new DIY tool on the shopping channel!
I take it you read the review then; especially the part when I pointed out that they only block certain kinds of noise and it's not a universal fix.
I'm very interested in buying a pair of headphones around the £130 price point and at the moment I've stumbled upon the Sennheiser HD25-1 II, Shure SRH-840 and Audio Technica ATH-M 50 (which is actually £75 across the pond!). I was wondering if you have any more recommendations from this price range?
Any chance of a review of those 3? At the moment the Audio Technicas are taking my fancy.
I've tried the noise cancelling route twice, both Phillips, but I can't live with the hiss that the electronics generates so I've gone over to Shure 'in the ear' headphones which I find very good for noise isolation sans input - they do a reasonable job of filtering out screaming babies on overnight flights.
Have recently purchased these headphones. Agree with the review which seemed fair. Tried these out before buying along with a pair of Bose Q15's. The Q15's looked and fit nicer and were far better at the noise cancellation. However, the sound was inferior to the Denon's and the Denon's were £30 cheaper. I use the Denon's on a regular bus/coach commute and they do a reasonable job at noise cancelling. Certainly a lot better than any in ear headphones I have used, and the quality of sound is superb, especially for electronic music. Jean Michel Jarre has never sounded so good on my ipod. They are also very light, and comfortable, and the hard carry case is a nice touch. Overall, a pricey buy, but they have made my commute a lot more enjoyable.

Tea and coffee. It's not just for breakfast anymore. Take your coffee or hot brew with you anywhere, anytime, but keep in control with your BRUGO Travel Mug. It's simple. In today's fast paced environment, what better way to get control and look cool than with your own BRUGO Travel Mug? Here's why.
Tighten the lid until the anchor stopper on the front of the mug and the lid are aligned… do not over tighten. Then turn the dial by the paddles (not the lid) to you preferred setting - LOCK, SIP or TIP & COOL.
• Set the dial to TIP & COOL mode:
"Temperature Control Chamber Activate" - Tip the mug directly away from you for 2-3 seconds at about a 45+degree angle and hear the drink "glug into the cooling chamber" and give it a little wiggle. This decants a SIP from the inner chamber into Brugo's cooling chamber. You do not need to change the dial…
Then hold your BRUGO mug nearly upright and gently swirl the mug with a brandy motion. This reduces the temperature of one mouthful in the cooling chamber whilst the remaining beverage stays hot. The longer you swill the cooler the sip. You only need to use the TIP & COOL mode whilst the drink is too hot to drink normally… once the ambient temperature in the main chamber has reduced enough only use the SIP setting.
• Set the dial to LOCK mode:
"Leak Proof Activate" - The Mug is sealed and 100% LEAK PROOF. Once the "Lock" option is selected, you need to get rid of the remaining liquid in the cooling chamber by either drinking it or simply tip it out. If you do not do either of these then you have not made you mug 100% LEAK PROOF.
• Set the dial to SIP mode:
"Temperature Control Chamber Bypass" - drink directly from the central chamber once your drink is cool enough to drink without using the TIP & COOL mode. Like a regular Travel Mug.
BRUGO's patented design controls hot beverages sip by sip. Available in today's trendiest colors, with contemporary stainless steel and chrome finish accents, BRUGO will keep you on the move.
Liquid quickly enters BRUGO's patented Temperature Control Chamber.
It's instantly adjusted to the perfect temperature, while the remaining coffee stays hottest and most aromatic.
This Content Requires Adobe Flash Player | Download Now
IMPORTANT: Tighten the lid until the small hash marks on the front of the cup and the lid are aligned.
In the "tip and cool" position, tip the mug directly away from you for 2 seconds at about a 45-degree angle.
The "tip and cool" setting is designed to work best when the mug is completely full. Once the mug is 3⁄4 or less full, use the "sip" setting. By this time the coffee in the main chamber should have reached a palatable temperature.
Tip your BRUGO Travel Mug away from you for a few seconds to move your hot brew from the lower chamber to the patented Temperature Control Chamber. Swill with a "brandy" motion to cool that sip to the Perfect Temperature. The longer the motion, the cooler the sip.
The BRUGO Mug is not designed to be stored upside down.
Now that you're grooving and moving, sip back and enjoy.
Now that you're grooving and moving, sip back and enjoy.

comparison between petrol car and diesel car
Hey, thanks for sharing this query with us. This is the biggest dilemma that people face now a days. Deciding between petrol and diesel is a tough choice but it can be made really easy if you know about the usage. We will surely help you in clearing this confusion.
The main deciding factor here is the usage. If you drive your vehicle more than 50 kms a day then a diesel vehicle is recommended because of the better fuel efficiency and low cost of fuel. Rest, a petrol vehicle would be better to pick.
Petrol vehicles provides a peppier performance whereas the diesel one, comes with high power. The diesel one are a bit rough to drive because of the engine sound and on the other hand, the petrol one are silent in performance.
The next big factor is maintenance, it is a well known fact that diesel engines have more maintenance cost and also, the initial investment in diesel vehicles are more than compared to the petrol one.
To have more understanding on it and make a clear decision, we recommend that you go through our article -"Which Car to Buy - Petrol or Diesel? We Have the Answer"
Hi I am planning to pick up a new car however a bit in confuse between the petrol
Buying a new car is a big decision as you are about to invest a big amount into it. The biggest dilemma that people face now a days is which fuel option to pick; Petrol or Diesel.
Now, the decision is based mostly on your usage. If you drive your vehicle for around 1500 KMS or more in a month, then the diesel is the choice rest, Petrol is better to pick.
In order to help our customers to get out from this dilemma, we have advisory stories available on our website. Please click here to check the same. We hope that it will help you. Rest, you can get in touch with us on our toll free number i.e. 1800-200-3000 Mon - Fri (10 AM - 7 PM)

Hide lines
We broke camp from the very humid Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. We were on the road less than an hour and it was 90F and peaked out at 97F before we got to Randleman, NC. The clouds got black, and let loose a good shower -- the temperature dropped to 85F in less than a mile.
We cruised into Randleman and found the Richard Petty Museum. Richard Petty is known as "the king" for his 200 Nascar victories and 7 championship. But he is also known as a very nice person. He is focused on his family, his work [racing] and his fans. He is known for valuing the interactions with the fans, he made it a point to sign each autograph so every letter is readable, he felt that the fans were the base of Nascar and should be valued and shown respect.
The museum has some of his championship race cars, his father's[Lee] and his son's [kyle] [and his late grand son - Adam]
[Correction: Nascar did not outlaw the engine - they reduced its horsepower by restricting the air flow - the wing was dropped but I do not know why -- Richard- probably other ways to get similar downforce with less drag. Petty won two championships in the 1970's with the dodge charger using a 426 ci engine -- sorry ]
Most of Petty's cars are painted "petty blue". The color was developed in the early days of petty racing when they did not have enough blue paint for their cars so they mixed some white. They liked the color and have used it ever since.
As a note the museum staff are special. We were buying our tickets and asked if the post cards of Richard were for sale. The lady said -- they were free -- Linda asked if she could have a couple - the clerk said sure and do you want Richard to sign them
Also later, I got some stuff and was checking out -- I asked if there was a drinking fountain - the clerk said no but they use bottled water and motioned to the assistant to go. He came back in a minute with an icy cold bottle of water -- I think she answered the question "What would Richard Petty do?". I really needed the water on that hot day - it was good.
On our trip from Randleman to Concord,NC we could see a black cloud on the horizon, it got blacker, and blacker until it was almost Dark -- then it started to rain, then pour, then buckets, then multiple buckets. We -- and many other drivers -- pulled over to the side of the road. We waited about 10 minutes for the storm to lessen enough for us to drive. The rain lessened and eventually quit before our RV park in Concord -- we are camping just a 100 yards from the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Tomorrow we will visit the Nascar Hall of Fame in Charlotte.

ZOMGWTFBBQ!!! Ambulance to RV to 4x4 Snafu o.0
Blame Obama, insanity, brain damage... for my next great idea, I bought an ambulance. Now you ask why? Because i say! You shake your head in disaprovement. Do I have an autorama TJ to finish building? Yes and that is my main priority once i buy a house, this is a backburner mental obsession. As a simple justification i have always liked expedition vehicles. Custom vans, offroad trailers and rv's... something with go anywhere capabilities and comfort. I looked into custom vans and 4wd campers are knew they wernt for me as they cost more then what i want to pay for my own house. So the only alternative left is build something
On pirate, i ran across people converting ford e vans to 4x4 and it clicked thats what i want. I did look around for an all ready coverted van (quigley) but couldnt find anything. At this time i ran into this and feel in lust!
yes, that is a 4x4 ambulance. Search Ujoint offroad and six13 metal works for more info. That is when i decided i want an Ambalamps! After 1 week of searching i found myself in Andover Ohio buying this.
Its an 05 Ford E450, 170k miles with 40K on a new 6.0 diesel (yes its a dreaded 6 leaker). Why you ask? Cause i basically stole it! Nothing is wrong with it, just the city that owned it was going private so the firehall basically gave this and 2 others away.
I'm the man in White.
If you want peace, prepare for war!
Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting.

The Rev. Tim Schenck, rector of St. John the Evangelist Church in Hingham, Mass., offers some insight about what it takes to grow a church, and he's a pretty credible source on this. In his three and a half years at St. John's, average Sunday attendance has increased 35 percent, pledging is up 50 percent, and the church has doubled the size of its staff. He blogs:
For me, growth comes down to a passion for sharing the Gospel of Christ. We're called to share this Good News with which we've been entrusted not horde it. And when we share the Gospel — boldly, radically, creatively — the church can't help but grow!
So if sharing the Gospel is the key to church growth, the next logical question is what does it mean to share the Gospel?
— It means looking outward, rather than exclusively inward.
— It means reaching out to others — the less fortunate and those in need.
— It means communicating in creative ways beyond the four walls of the church building.
— It means flinging open the doors to welcome people and being intentional about incorporating them into the life of the parish.
— It means thinking entrepreneurially about liturgical alternatives to Sunday morning worship that may look and feel and sound different but still reflect the core values of the community.
— It means preaching engaging sermons that connect and relate rather than judge and deny.
— It means music that uplifts and inspires.
— It means listening for the still, small voice within rather than cowing to the anxiety-ridden, strident voice without.
— It means leaving room for questions and mystery rather than providing simplistic answers.
— It means joyfully inviting people to partake in the peace of Christ that passes all understanding.
Read his full post here. I'd love to hear from others in growing parishes about what they think contributes to the health of a congregation.

I would add to Tim's list being willing to step out in faith and take risks.
In my previous parish we went out on a limb with a regional youth ministry, including budgeting a small deficit to pay for it. While the effort was not a success (problems of geography, differences among the participating parishes, and insufficiently clear objectives), it did create energy and enthusiasm for mission, which we directed to more successful endeavors and growth in other areas, and we finished the year in the black.
I would add that it takes dedicated prayer by leaders and church members.
Prayer for those who don't know Christ.
Prayer for the community.
Prayer for eyes to see spiritual thirst in our friendships.

Today was a good day.
The minute the show was done, Metalhead Ned came in to the studio with a gift card and said, "Let's eat!"
Off to Bagger Dave's we went.
First off, I am trying to give up pop. But Bagger Dave's has homemade specialty sodas, so I couldn't exactly resist.

Conscious dance is a creative, free-form movement practice that increases awareness. It is a safe space where we can explore ourselves: bodies, emotions, minds, and hearts. Just as in life, on the dance floor there are no rules: no movements to memorize, no right way to move, and no wrong way to express. Dance is an ancient practice that we approach with reverence because it brings us into intimate contact with what is most sacred: our own self.
Our dance is an individual and collective experience. How much you choose to interact with other dancers is up to you. We ask only that you come with a heartful respect for yourself and every other person on the floor. The conscious dance teacher is here to help take you deeper into the dance experience, when you're ready.
If you're considering coming for the first time, we recommend you wear comfortable clothes and arrive a few minutes early so you have time to sign-in, pay, and stretch or warm up your body before the dance begins. Most of us dance barefoot, though non-marking shoes are allowed.
We dance for pleasure
We dance to express
We dance to release the past
We dance for the love of our bodies
We dance for health
We dance to honor where we've been and make space for where we're going
We dance because we love life
Ann Kite
Ann fell into free form dance at a 5Rhythms workshop in Asheville, North Carolina in November, 2008. She awoke to the dance in her body and a yearning for movement expression. Ann started dancing alone in her home and found her own body wanting dance community. In August 2009 she started Conscious Dance C'ville, meeting once per week. Since then she's added 2 other classes. Ann has been trained and is a 5Rhythms Teacher, and has studied in the SoulMotion Leadership Program. She is passionate about life, about love of self and other, and about honoring the gifts that come through each one of us. She works to welcome these gifts to flow through freely ~ the dance floor being a place of refuge, transformation, and release.
Ann is also a producer of 5Rhythms workshops and other Conscious Dance Workshops happening in and around Charlottesville throughout the year. You can contact Ann using the Contact form.
