Nearly 26 million people, including almost 7.1 million children, have asthma in the United States, according to government estimates. Asthma accounts for nearly 2 million emergency department visits each year. Yet health experts say this lung disease is underdiagnosed and undertreated. In this interview, Dr. Kathryn Robinett, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and a pulmonologist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, discusses how doctors diagnose and treat asthma and ways to help prevent attacks.

Riding through Troy, PA
The first time I road through Troy, PA, I was traveling by minivan on Rt. 6 (a nice ride in itself). It was nice to see the town again. It's a pretty town in northern PA. The one thing that amazed me about Troy are the number of old, fancy houses. Given the surrounding areas and no obvious signs of industry, the town appears to have had an affluent past and a seemingly healthy future.
Rest stop
Just that. Nothing special. Stopped at a convenience store, bought a bottle of water and gave a couple cub scouts who were doing a fund raiser a few dollars. Trying to decide whether I want to spend another night on the road or save money and ride the rest of the way home. Skies are a mix of sun and large dark clouds in the distance. When the sun isn't shining it's a little cool --- high today is only around ...
Lunch at Watkins Glen
Just arrived. Haven't really had a chance to check out town yet. Eating at Subway. Just finished walking more than 2 miles through the gorge. It is very beautiful and nice and cool.
Following a late lunch at Subway I went across the street to Watkins Glen State Park. The park is really amazing, you walk through a stone tunnel and then her into a gorge that is unbelievable. The sheer cliffs and the waterfalls ...
Bring on the wine! =D
... for any others enough to buy a bottle.
After our wine tasting, some snacks, and a few photo opps by some beautiful waterfalls we started the drive back home to Pennsylvania. All in all it was a wonderful trip and I would love to go back again camping, hiking, or touring any time! And I'm still pretty proud of Joey and I for sticking it out and braving the elements on our first camping trip! ...
My First Real Camping Trip
Now I don't have too too many pictures with this entry, and unfortunately I didn't take any of the campsite--partially because I wanted to be off the grid a bit with my camera and phone tucked away and another BIG part was the fact that it was raining/pouring most of the weekend! Lucky us right? My very first time doing real camping in a tent--no camper or inflatable mattress haha--it downpours and storms most of the weekend. So that means it also was a ...

Pressestimmen'In this ambitious book, sociologist [Misagh] Parsa of Dartmouth College compares and contrasts the revolutions in Iran, Nicaragua, and the Philippines in a framework that draws on structural, resource mobilization, and political process theories. Highly recommended for scholars and upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of comparative social movements.' N. Entessar, Choice 'Parsa offers a fine combination of careful, nuanced empirical case studies and theoretical propositions regarding key factors omitted from structural theories of revolution. Along with other recent work influenced by the 'new institutionalism', this volume points the way toward a new and richer synthesis of structure and agency in our understanding of revolutions and revolutionary processes.' Jack A. Goldstone, American Political Science Review 'Make room on your bookshelf next to Skocpol, Tilly, and Goldstone. Mirasha Parsa's new book is a major contribution to the comparative and historical study of revolutions. Along with works of Paige and Wickham-Crowley, this book ranks among the very best analyses of revolutions in developing or Third World societies.'

Rockaway Outdoors/Tales From The Wheel house
The winds of autumn are upon us, at least for these past few days. Annoying yes, but it goes with this time of year. Hopefully a few easterly blows will stir things up a bit and get the fish moving. Like the barometer, the fishing this past week had its highs and lows. Unfortunately the fishing I enjoyed was on the low end.
Striper fishing inside our bay was well like fishing in a ghost town. Last year around this time, give or take a few days, the bay had some life. Bass and bluefish made their presence known throughout the bay from Inwood up to Ruffle Bar, with some consistency I might add. But as of this writing that is not the case.
Albeit the water dropped a few degrees, the fish are just not showing as one would expect. That could change in a matter of one tide but it doesn't look to promising. Probably the biggest reason is the lack of any appreciable amount of bait fish in the bay. Ordinarily this time of year peanut bunker, a term used to describe small adolescent bunker, are everywhere one can look. The harsh reality is that bait fish stocks are down. Mullet, menhaden and sand eels all seem to be absent from our local waters at this time. The fact is it's been an ongoing problem for a few years now. Over harvesting and environmental impact all play a part in this problem. Will it get better? One can only hope.
Weakfish a week ago seemed strong dwindled in numbers this past weekend. I was among the fleet for several days and didn't see too much in the way of catches. Sunday morning, I moved about the entire bay from Silver hole, west to the usual weakfish haunts; Beach Channel High School, the holes down toward Canarsie, Runway Channel and didn't see a fish landed. Correction, a keeper landed and our fish averaged six to ten inches if that well below the keeper size. Offerings of sand worms and peanut bunker remained unscathed.
Moving right along, the bright notes continued to be the sea bass and porgies. That's a good thing. The bottom among the "tin can grounds" and Rockaway reef seemed most productive.
Where are the albies? Small albacore, or poor man's tuna I call them, didn't cross my path this week. They usually cruise the jetty and shoal areas, right about now but I wasn't lucky enough to see any. I will add that the fly rodders were up and about in the inlet so that is usually the signal that their around.
I fished down Ambrose channel on Thursday and bass and blues were to be had. Diamond jigs seemed to work best. The tide was running fairly hard and the fish were on the move. I ended up down by the Highlands off of New Jersey just as the wind came on.
Being in my skiff, we decided to retreat back to the bay, playing it safe. On the way home on the sandbars, east of the jetty showed some fish were making up. And a few short bass and blues were caught and released. No bonanza by any means.
The local surf action from Atlantic Beach to Rockaway was slow. The surf was pretty much "chewed up" with the wind and heavy surf. Much of the beach was weeded out making it almost unfishable.
And what would a fall surf report be without mention of you guessed it Cheach. He was fresh back from his Montauk soiree, filled with enthusiasm hit the local beaches. Not much life was his lament, but never count the Cheach out. Hopefully we'll get on em this week, until the next tide....

I'll post this here since it is an aviation enthusiast's thread.
It's not hyper-realistic, but a new game that is now in beta-release testing mode is War Thunder (no, I have no affiliation). It does have options for the controlling of flaps (multiple settings for landing, combat, and take-off), air brakes, etc., but it still isn't as realistic as a true flight sim.
Basically it's flying WWII-era (give or take) planes against one another and against AI (for now?) ground targets. On the American line there are F2A Buffalos as starter planes up to the F-86A Sabre (with bombers and even the Catalina as options to fly and fight with). Other countries (Germany + Italy, Japan, Russia, UK) start with biplanes (which aren't bad).
This is not Microsoft flight-sim realistic, and truth be told aiming is reportedly easier with the mouse than with a joystick. I've used joysticks for prior flight sims, but for this one I'm sort of amazed at how easy it is to fly with a mouse. Anyway, you can choose either option.
Too, this game, as many others in its genre, seems to come from Russian developers, so a buddy and I are sensing a Russian bias already by the tier -2 and tier-3 levels, but then it's more about pilot skill and placement than the hard-hitting guns, so any country seems fine.
Forgive my slightly modern take on the placement of American war decals, but here are screen shots:
(A20 Havoc)
I know the paintings are placed on the wrong planes, in the wrong places, but for the purposes of the game and the angles enemies view my planes from... these are easier for them to see.
Anyway, it's a free-to-play game at the moment, and battles put you with a total of about 30 players (I'm not sure on that number). Even if it isn't fully realistic, is surprising the appreciation that flying lesser-known, or lesser-vaunted, war aircraft, then researching them on the 'net, can bring.
There are a few modes of competing, two of which are 'Arcade' mode where it's a mid-air cluster of aircraft from different eras (bring what you have that you believe will be helpful depending on the battle and goals), and a 'Historical' mode where more accurate fights / planes are organized, such as in the Battle of Britain, or other famous air encounters.
Wait for it, Aviation Collection near the end. Enjoy.

Did someone say C-46?
Revealed: Daring RAF pilot who risked his life to fly down Champs-Elysees at tree-top height to drape the Arc de Triomphe with a giant tricolour at the height of Nazi occupation to keep French hope alive,
The incredible story of how a RAF pilot flew down the Champs-Elysees to drop a French flag over Nazi-occupied Paris has emerged after his medals were put up for sale. Wing Commander Ken Gatward managed the 'impossible feat' of flying his Bristol Beaufighter down the Champs-Elysees at 30ft before dropping the French Tricolour over the Arc de Triomphe. The daring act was a symbol of hope to the occupied French as the Arc honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars. The British pilot then headed towards the Gestapo headquarters which he littered with 20mm shells - helping to boost morale in Paris when it was most needed.
The attack sent the German SS troops running for their lives, to the delight of the Parisians who had seen them as an invincible enemy up until that point. The brave pilot volunteered for the dare-devil mission to boost the morale of the French and put the wind up the Germans. Wg Cdr Gatwards inspirational antics were celebrated in British newspaper cartoons and raised the hope and morale among the British and French. One of the cartoons depicted his aircraft doing a loop around the Eiffel Tower, with the word Hope written in the sky using his trail smoke. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and after the war he was hailed a hero by the French government who presented him with a huge bottle of Champagne and a Tricolour in Paris. Wg Cdr Gatwards medal set, that includes his DFC with bar and a Distinguished Service Order, have now been put up for auction after the recent death of his widow.
A souvenir booklet featuring a sketch of the moment Wg Cdr Gatward and his observer dropped the Tricolour over the Arc de Triomphe with German army trucks on the ground is also being sold.James Grinter, of auctioneers Reeman Dansie of Colchester, Essex, said: 'Ken Gatwards act of bravery is a real Boys Own story.
Honour: Ken Gatward was presented with a Tricolour by the grateful French in 1949 'He was asked to volunteer for the unsafe mission which was aimed as boosting the morale of the French and British people as well as undermine the Germans. 'This is June 1942 and the real dark days of war for the French and this was to demonstrate that the Germans werent invincible.' Wg Cdr Gatward was chosen for the sortie as he had demonstrated a skill for accurate flying during low-level attacks on enemy positions after Dunkirk.
The British had been informed the Germans held daily parades down the Champs-Elysees and he was asked to strafe the parade. He and his navigator, Flight Sergeant George Fern, took off from Thorny Island, near Portsmouth, on June 12.
After reaching Paris, he flew at just 30ft before Ft Sgt released the flag down the flare shute and over the Arc de Triomphe. Mr Grinter said: 'It is an amazing story - one of those that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
'He flew down the Champs-Elysees at second floor window height. It was an incredible act of bravery and a real audacious attack. 'He attacked the Gestapo HQ and SS troops were seen to run for their lives. As he turned for home the Germans came out and shook their fists at him.
'The attack gave Parisians one of the greatest thrills of the war and had a huge effect on the morale of the French and at home.' When Wg Cdr Gatward returned he entered a very bland entry into his log book to record the daring raid.
Wg Cdr Gatward was awarded a second DFC in September 1944 for taking part in an aeriel attack on a German convoy in Norwegian waters. He spent 30 years in the RAF before retiring. He lived in Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, with wife Pamela and died in 1998 aged 84.
His medals and other items are expected to sell for 8,000 pounds at the auction on Friday.
Wow. I have never heard of this before. An amazing feat!
Thats the whole thing, it was lost to history for the most part. Only until his widow died recently (sometime in nov I believe) did it come to light. How fucking ballsy is that! Talk about thumbing your nose at the enemy!
"Shoot up German HQ"
And: "Shoot up German HG" with 173-240 flying hours.
Jolly good show, aulde chap.
Classic British understatement...
Glad this bravery and elan was not lost to history...
Great story!
And great news! Looks like I'm gonna see the Mosquito in action: http://www.wings.org.nz/

Those CL 415s are great water bombers. They sometimes operate off the lake where I live. Fun to watch.
Saw a handsome row of 415's and 215's recently in front of the plant where they're manufactured at the Quebec City airport. Assume the 215's were in for repairs etc. Only learned yesterday that Canadair was part of the Bombardier group of companies.

The New York Jets are apparently ready to cut their ties with superstar corner Darrelle Revis with owner Woody Johnson not confident that the team can re-sign him once his contract expires at the end of the 2013 NFL season.
Although Johnson believes that trading Revis is the best option for the team moving forward, head coach Rex Ryan doesn't want the team to trade arguably their best player according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:
Per a league source, Ryan doesn't want to trade Revis. And that's hardly a surprise. Ryan has raved about Revis for years, and Ryan played a key role in breaking the impasse that led to the four-year contract that suddenly has Johnson reportedly "pessimistic" about keeping Revis in 2014 and beyond.
Ryan's desire not to trade Revis doesn't come as much of a surprise. Ryan has been high on Revis ever since taking the head coaching job in New York a few years ago. With Ryan a defensive-minded head coach and Revis possibly the best defensive player in the league today, it's obvious why Ryan is reluctant to get rid of a player that simply can't be replaced.
The one problem with Revis is that he will be coming off a torn ACL next season. Although Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings was able to quickly bounce back from a similar injury in 2012 and may be the league's MVP as a result, there's no telling whether or not Revis will be able to get back to form as an elite cornerback following season-ending surgery.
Revis played in only two games for the Jets during the 2012 NFL season recording one interception and one forced fumble.
Two unknown teams are reportedly showing interest in Revis, but it remains to be seen if the team is truly ready to pull the trigger on a deal.

Report: Cardinals release veteran tight end Todd Heap
The Cardinals have released 12-year veteran tight end Todd Heap, reports NFL.com's Dan Hanzus:
It appears the Arizona Cardinals grew tired of waiting for the return of Todd Heap. The veteran tight end was released on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Heap hadn't played since suffering a knee injury in Week 2.Heap, 32, joined the Cardinals in 2011 but missed more games (16) than he played (12). He was the Ravens' first round pick in the 2001 draft (31st overall), and averaged 40.2 receiving yards per game and had a total of 5,869 over the course of his career.

So your hair looks great after blowdrying only to succumb to frizz an hour later. Don't worry: we can help. This weightless conditioning treatment locks in moisture and shine, so you don't have to worry about flyaways and frizz—even when it's raining or superhumid.
I absolutely love this product! I have very thick, curly wavy hair and it needs tons of hydration especially having the thick hair that I have; this Latina hair needs a lot of love! I actually stock up on this stuff because it is probably the best leave-in conditioner I have ever had. It's a foam when you pump some out, like moose, so that is a definite plus because I am not very fond of those sticky or cream leave-in conditioners. Besides the texture of this, I love the smell! You cannot go wrong with this leave-in conditioner so definitely give it a try.5
Soo.. I received this sample months ago. Used it daily on my damp hair. My hair tends to have split ends quickly and many of them... Since I started using this product, I've noticed a huge decrease in the amount of split ends I have! Even better... my HAIRDRESSER even complimented me on how fabulous my hair looked and what I had changed! I told her about this product! I've been a repeat customer to Nexxus Leave- In Conditioning Foam 4x now! :)5
I got this as a sample, and given the size of the bottle, it worked its way into my daily routine for over a month. I didn't realize how effective this product was until a couple days after I ran out. The foam style makes it much lighter than some other leave in conditioners, but still smooths everything out.5
I love this Leave-in conditioning foam. I use a small amount after showering and let my hair air-dry making for soft and frizz-free locks. My hair is pin-straight and thick so a little goes a long way but it never leaves a weighed-down greasy effect like regular conditioning tends to do. I tested this out on my sister who's hair is both wavy and prone to frizzing with equally satisfying results.5

We intended to go to Eze just over the border in France. So we headed around the harbour and up towards the casino where my info said the bus-stop was near.
The yachts in this harbour AMAZING!!!!!
Off to find the bus-stop and it was one street above the casino. Sat there with a couple of couples off the cruise, two Americans and the C.Kiwis that had their very cute little toddler with them. Bus didn't come. The C.Kiwi spoke fluent French and confirmed with a gendarme we were at the right stop. We gave up and headed down to the information centre one street below. The lady in there told us that the buses didn't run on Sundays so Al raced back up and told the others that they'd be waiting until tomorrow.
Thought about getting a cab up there but we decided to just wander around because it was a very nice place with friendly people. Pete was in charge of the French - although we were both just getting comfortable with speaking a little Italian. Pete did very well (although a little too well).
We both refuse to ask if whoever is serving us speaks English. It's insulting to expect someone to do this even though so many do. We both instead prefer to try our best (use sign language) and people often speak English back anyway (when they realise how bad your attempts are). We read that in Venice they are adopting 5 different prices 1. Locals, 2. Fluent Italian, 3. People that try to speak Italian, 4. People who don't try to speak Italian, 5. People who are rude (usually English or American).
Monte Carlo as you can imagine is quite hilly and after wandering around the old town near the palace the legs soon wore out.
We head to a fun fair
Gorgeous sunset as we sail
and Al spends hours talking to Ed over the verandah railing.
Free champagne with dessert tonight and an apology from the captain for the hold up with embarkation. I found out that for those who arrived at 11 there was a priority embarkation line for suite guests but by the time we arrived chaos ruled and we just in with everyone else.

The Sun Valley area boasts nearly one million acres of surrounding wilderness and just about as many summer activities. Guests are invited to enjoy the many natural wonders — flyfishing in beautiful Silver Creek, hiking through teeming fields of wildflowers on Bald Mountain, or riding the rapids of the Salmon River. Thirty paved miles of bike trails, award-winning golf courses, a skateboard park and chairlift rides add a multitude of man-made marvels to Sun Valley's stunning backdrop.
The same conditions that created world class skiing have also created world class mountain and road biking. The area accommodates all levels of experience from the beginner to the white knuckle advanced. From wide dirt roads and extensive paved Wood River Trail System connecting the valley from the south to the north, to the challenging 28 miles of single track on Bald Mountain and the surrounding recreation areas, the Sun Valley/ Ketchum area has a large, varied trail system for all riding abilities. The Sawtooth National Recreation Area north of Ketchum and the Ketchum Ranger District, which surrounds the Wood River Valley, contains miles of maintained trails with spectacular mountain backdrops.
Rock climbing, hiking, and backpacking trips can end at the top of a ten thousand foot peak or at a pristine alpine lake. Spectacular views are everywhere and spotting wildlife is virtually guaranteed. Guided trips are available for any length trip and for any ability. For those choosing to go solo, maps and guide information are available at the Sun Valley/ Ketchum Visitors Center, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Visitor Center, Ketchum Ranger District, local bookstores, and the Community Library.
Horseback Riding
Horseback riding outfitters are ready to take you wherever you would like to go on a multi or single day trip. Excursions into nature are not limited to the animal friend that you pick to help guide you. A popular activity is day hikes with llamas. Hikers are accompanied with trained guides through many of the scenic wilderness areas and the llamas carry everything. Both options are a great family activity.
River Rafting
Float, Boat, or Swim— Raft, kayak or tube Idaho's wild rivers and their rapids. Along the Salmon and Payette rivers hot springs, Indian pictographs, thousand-foot cliffs, and trout fishing are a few of the treats found in a day's journey. The gentle but exhilarating rapids on the day-stretches of the Salmon River are perfect for families and seniors looking for a little excitement. Eleven local outfitters offer single or multi-day river trips for rafters or kayakers. Head south of Ketchum for a day of flat-water kayaking and of wildlife viewing. Just 45 minutes north of Sun Valley three high alpine lakes invite windsurfers, water skiers, canoers, swimmers, and scuba divers to jump in. Classes and rental equipment are available at many area sporting good stores.
Said to be one of the most addictive sports ever invented and at one time banned in Scotland due to its popularity in the 15th century because lads were not tending to their archery responsibilities, golf is a pastime, a sport and a culture that easily fits into the Sun Valley experience. Though perhaps a more humble sport than skiing and mountain biking, playing the greens in these mountains is sure to elevate the spirit. Home to three eighteen hole courses that range from target design and tree-lined fairways varying in width to Elkhorn's maze of water hazards and sand bunkers.
Unveiled in the summer of 2008 was the 9-hole White Cloud championship golf course. Along with the new holes will also be a state-of-the-art, 58,756-square-foot golf clubhouse and Nordic Center.
The new nine-hole golf layout was designed by Donald J. Knott – of Knott Brooks Linn Golf Course Design Group out of California – who was lead architect during the obert Trent Jones Jr. design firm's renovation of Sun Valley's original 18 holes in 1978-79. The course largely sits on ridges and among the clouds, and the course reverses the traditional way resort courses are routed.
Whereas most resort courses are in valleys with real estate and resort lodging stealing the best, higher elevated vantage points, Sun Valley's new nine dances from on high, providing panoramic views. It offers long-range, unforgettable sight lines, spectacular views of the Sawtooth, Boulder and other surrounding mountains, and an inspired routing which will require golfers to hit shots at the top range of their abilities to negotiate well the titillating layout.
When Lewis and Clark passed through Idaho on their way to the Pacific in 1805, Idaho's rivers and streams supported about 4 million wild salmon and steelhead (ocean-going rainbow trout). The mighty Snake, Salmon and Clearwater rivers produced some of the greatest chinook salmon and steelhead runs on earth. And in Sun Valley, you can experience the wild of the rivers as they did over a hundred years ago at famed spots such as Silver Creek, The Big Wood, The Big Lost, Copper Basin and The Little Wood.
Considered the original backdrop and inspiration for Hemingway's famed character, Nick Drake — Sun Valley really is the divine destination for fly-fishing. Whether you re looking for remote high mountain streams or lowland desert reservoirs, you will find trophy cutthroat trout, bass for the masters and much more. From jewel-like alpine lakes to the streams flowing in the bottoms this country's deepest canyons, trout in all their forms lure anglers to Idaho waters. Idaho's salmon and steelhead journey further inland than almost any other salmon – salmon born in the Sawtooth Mountains must swim up to 1,000 miles to the Pacific Ocean where they grow to upwards of 40 lbs and 4 feet long. After spending 1 to 3 years in the ocean, they use their acute sense of smell and the earth's magnetic fields to find the mouth of the Columbia River and make the heroic 000-mile-long journey back to the place they were hatched. See our photo gallery for exactly how impressive this journey becomes here in the Sawtooths.
Mountaineering and Rock Climbing
Some of the best alpine granite in the country can be found in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area north of the Sun Valley area. With a short hike you can access areas such the Elephant's Perch and Finger of Fate. By late July most of the technical peaks in the Sawtooths can be done as pure rock climbs including Mt. Heyburn and Warbonnet. Also, there are some world-class cragging destinations in Southern Idaho a short drive from the Sun Valley area including City of Rocks and Castle Rock State Park.
The Sun Valley and Ketchum area is surrounded by five mountain ranges: Pioneers, Whiteclouds, Boulders, Smokeys and Sawtooths. Please enjoy the beauty of mother nature and the wildlife that lives within it.
There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy while camping: hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching, rafting and much more. Please respect the environment and natural beauty of the area. Please remember to leave your camping site better than you found it. Be a courteous camper including keeping noise level down and pets under control. Always make sure your fires are put out completely and never leave a fire unattended. The campsites vary in size and have different amenities. Most facilities do have restrooms but do not have showers.
Ice Skating
Sun Valley is home to year round ice! Whether it's winter or summer, when you're here, lacing up your skates is never a problem. Home to a minor hockey team, ice shows and personal ice time, playing on the ice is a treat for all ages.

Snowmobiles provide an easy means to explore the incredible backcountry, while the devoted will still be fishing the local rivers in mid December. With so much to occupy your time, a return trip to Sun Valley will definitely be in order.
Downhill Skiing
Known as the "American Shangri-La" and as the nation's first destination ski resort, Sun Valley offers world class downhill skiing and snowboarding on one of the country's largest and best mountains. And with 250 days of Rocky Mountain sunshine a year, your best days of skiing await you at Sun Valley. Don't take our word for it. Sun Valley consistently rates in the top ten in Ski Magazine. Read for yourself what some of the most reliable sources in the industry are saying about Sun Valley.
"Known for its long, long, lo-o-ong steady-pitched jet-fueled groomers (perfect for raising World Cuppers like Picabo Street and Reggie Crist), its lack of crowds ("forgot what a liftline was!"), its opulent on-mountain lodges and its celebrity-studded history, Sun Valley has won over skiing's well-traveled visitor for decades.It has sunshine and a top-light lift network, an authentic Old West town with metro-quality cuisine, sagebrush vistas and a largely friendly and easygoing vibe.Its resort hotel facilities are equally appropriate for families with kids, vacationing couples, aspiring starlets and global financiers alike." – SKI Magazine
Sun Valley is also one of the best places to learn how to ski. Being the first destination ski resort in the country we've grown used to the idea that not everyone grows up with a world class ski mountain in their backyard. The mountains are diverse enough for the beginner to the advance. As Ski Magazine puts it "Sun Valley lets you ski like water flows. " One reader calls Bald Mountain "the monarch of skiable mountains."
Ski Mountains
Hailed by serious skiers as the country's single best ski mountain, Bald Mountain boasts 3,400 vertical feet, 630 snowmaking acres, 14 lifts and 65 runs on 2,054 skiable acres. You'll never tire of the immense variety of runs and errain for all levels of ability and interests. There's open cruising on perfectly groomed corduroy, runs as long as 3 miles, steep bumps, spacious bowls, tree skiing and plenty of high-speed quads to get you back up the mountain in record time. If snowboarding's more your style, our new super pipe will bring a smile to your face.
The treeless, groomed slopes of neighboring Dollar Mountain have long been ideal for learning to ski and snowboard. With 3 chairlifts and 13 runs, Dollar has gentle terrain mixed with more challenging slopes to allow beginners to progress to more difficult runs as their skills improve. It also has its own halfpipe and terrain park as well as a tubing hill, perfect for a day of sledding with the kids.
Nordic Skiing
Besides offering world class alpine skiing, the Sun Valley area is home to some of the most extensive and beautifully maintained Nordic trail systems in the nation. Be sure to check out the nordic and backcountry ski packages listed on our web specials page.
his is where the Boulder Mountain Tour, one of the nation's pre-eminent cross country ski races is staged, and where top athletes from around the world come to train on our more than 200km of immaculately groomed trails. Whether you're an experienced Nordic skier, a world class athlete looking for the perfect training area or are simply interested in trying the sport for the first time, you can't choose a better place than Sun Valley, where you'll be greeted every morning by freshly groomed trails, crystal clear air and unlimited possibilities to explore.
Nordic ski trails in the Sun Valley area are open from mid-November to late April, depending on snowfall. Ski rentals, instruction, guided tours and other activities and services are offered by both Galena and the Nordic Center.
Backcountry & Heli Skiing
As the birthplace of United States helicopter skiing, Sun Valley has a long tradition of flying visitors to an untouched skier's paradise on top of the Rockies. Most of the skiing takes place in the 7,000 to 10,000 foot range and there is a variety of terrain and runs to suit every level of skiing ability, including 33-degree pitches, 40-degree chutes, steady 2,000-vertical-foot descents and vast bowls of flawless corn. But don't get the impression that heli-skiing is only for the super advanced. There are plenty of inviting, low-angled slopes ideally suited for the first-time or family heli-ski experience. And with the new fat ski technology, skiing in deep powder and ungroomed snow is a breeze.
Back Country
One of the special joys of skiing in Sun Valley's backcountry is the network of well-equipped huts and Mongolian-style yurts that offer a welcome shelter at day's end. The huts and yurts are strategically placed at the doorstep to some of Idaho's most spectacular powder stashes. Skiers can ski from hut to hut (or yurt) or can use any of them as a base to explore the surrounding mountains. The huts and yurts are shared by local guiding ompanies and are available for use by skiers on guided tours as well as for rent by independent skiers.
With over 500 miles of groomed trails within 45 minutes of the Sun Valley area you're sure to get some great riding in while you're here. Closest to the Sun Valley area there are 120 miles of trails in the Baker Creek area ten miles north of Ketchum, and the Wood River Recreation Area three miles west of Hailey. Off trail riding is available. Also, just over the Galena Summit in the Smiley Creek and Stanley area there are 170 miles of trail. Off trail riding is also available as is guided and non-guided trips. And finally there are 200 miles of trails and open play areas in the Fairfield region.

BOOK today! Stroll through the Sun Valley Lodge Lobby to the Terrace and watch the skaters twirl around the rink. Rent a pair of skates and rub elbows with Olympic and world class skaters practicing their routines. Professional skater and Olympic silver medallist, Linda Fratianne heads an excellent staff of skating professionals for group and private lessons. Skate Rentals available. Full service Skate Shop on premises.
Ice skate in summer! —Even when it is 90 degrees outside, Sun Valley offers ice-skating for everyone. Plus every Saturday night, June through September. Olympians such as Sasha Cohen, Irina Slutskaya, Jamie Sale, David Pelletier, and Todd Eldredge perform amazing feats on ice. A buffet dinner is served on the Sun Valley Lodge Terrace, adjacent to the outdoor ice rink, just before show time.
The Sun Valley Ice Shows began when young employees were required by Union Pacific to work at the resort in other capacities. They were given a costume, a pair of skates and instructions that were often as sketchy as, "just move around!" Guests were engaged in the chorus numbers and had their photos printed in the society pages of their local newspapers. Skating outside in the summer was as unique an experience then, as it is today. Since then, the ice shows have become a summer showcase bringing attention to rising stars who follow the legacy of such greats as Scott Hamilton, Kitty and Peter Carruthers–who all performed as amateurs here in Sun Valley.

Vivian Jean "Momo"
Learn about upgrading this memorial...
Aug. 5, 1928
Johnson County
Texas, USA
Jul. 4, 2007
Richland Hills
Tarrant County
Texas, USA
Vivian Jean Lampman was the youngest daughter of Albert Isaac Lampman and Rosa Lee Robinson. Rosa Lee died when Jean was only 6 years old.
She worked at General Dynamics and Ben Hogan.
While married to Phillip Bernstein, she had one daughter, Sandra Kaye. Jean was married to Phillip 2 times. Both marriages ended in divorce. She was also married to Hugh W Brown.
Jean was my grandmother. She wasn't a normal grandmother. She was MoMo. She had a bond with my son like no other. He was everything to her and her to him. He loved going to her house and spending the night with her. She always said, "There will never be another" when talking about "her boy".
It was only fitting that "her boy" gave a beautiful eulogy at her funeral. I was never a more proud mama. The eulogy follows.
Looking out at everyone here, I think everyone had their own special nicknames for my great grandmother – Viv, Jean, Jeanie, Sister or as we younger ones always call her, Momo. When I say "younger ones" I am generously including the two 40-something year old granddaughters, my mom Jeanie and my Aunt Jack. I think there is even a cat named in Momo's honor, but that's not my story. You will have to talk to Aunt Negg for details on the cat situation.
My first memory of Momo is her love for the Dollar Store. I found out much later, she didn't love the Dollar Store. I did. She took me to the Dollar Store every time I visited with her whether it was planned or not. For some reason, I was always good at talking her in to a quick trip to the Dollar Store. Hmmm This must have been where I perfected my way with the ladies. Again, that's another story.
There is one trip to the Dollar Store that really sticks out in my mind. Four year old boys love plastic guns, holsters, and handcuffs. Anytime the Dollar Store had news ones, I always thought I needed to have one. This trip I was in luck and Momo bought me a cool new set. We got it to her house and I played with it all afternoon and evening. That night, Momo told me to put everything in the sack, leave it on the chair and go to bed. As most boys do, I follwed her directions exactly. I went to bed and took everything with me. Some time later, Momo was walking past my bedroom and heard me crying. Yes, I have to admit I had handcuffed myself in the bed with my hands behind my back and couldn't get to the keys. Please don't ask how I did that. I'm still not sure myself!!! Also, let me remind you at this point in the story that I was only four years old and not the brightest crayon in the box. I am now grown and always ensure I have the keys anytime I play with plastic guns, holsters, and handcuffs. To my eternal embarrassment, Momo told this story to everyone she met. I am sure some of you have heard it two or three times.
At a very young age, I had the unique opportunity to have a fun relationship with Momo and my Old Papa –he is another story altogether! I want to remember all the good times I had with both of my great grandparents. To help me remember and since Momo is no longer with us, I will tell this exciting tale to everyone I come across.
I love you Momo. Rest in Peace.

Cable tv jack
We are adding a tv in my sons room. There is a cable jack on one side of the wall, but there's nothing behind it so it's not wired. Plus the tv will be on the other end of the room (5-7 ft away) so we can't use that jack anyway. Is there any way around hiring a cable tech and paying $50 plus any addtl possible labor?
All the cable guy is going to do is add a splitter somewhere to your existing cable and run more cable to the room you want to add. You can buy the cable and splitter at Home Depot and run it yourself. It's just a matter of figuring out how to get it to that room as simply and unobtrusively as possible.
So, I'm assuming you would prefer to utilize that (un-wired) cable jack? Unless the TV will be sitting in the middle of the room (i.e., not against a wall), why can't you run the cable from the jack along the wall base to the TV? If that is not an option, then I suppose you have no choice but to install another jack and run cable to it -- so we're back to the original advice.
As for the comment about the cable modem, I'm assuming you have one coax coming into your house which provides both TV and internet connection.
Your better off having cable do it, if you dont use a 5-1000mhz splitt any digital products you have will start having problems, if you split in before a modem or phone modem the service may start going completely out, if you get cheap wire( wire should be rg-6 quad shield) you can have even more problems. Just in the supplies and tools alone it will cost you more unless you get premade cables wich are usually junk. 50 dollars is high, its usually about 26 for a standard additional outlet, sounds like you want it put in the wall wich is why its so high. Wallfishing usually runs about 36.00 a hour. The way around that is to drop it down the closest closet and surface mount to the baseboard to the tv or if you have carpet you can tuck it between the tack strip and the wall just make sure you dont fully pull the carpet off the tacks. Not to mention if you have problems with your picture and the cable company installs it they fix it, if you install it your out the money for the supplies, tools, and have to pay them to look at it and fix.
Think of it as two separate projects.
You can:
1. String the coax cable and hook it up yourself.
2. Have someone else string the cable and then you hook it up.
3. String the cable yourself and have someone else hook it up.
4. Have someone else (or different persons) string the cable and hook it up.
In all cases you decide whether to have a wall jack where you will put the TV or have a few feet of cable come out of the wall to attach to your TV. In all cases the place where a new section of cable ties into an existing section of cable should be accessible so you can decide later you want a splitter there (or to remove a splitter and direct connect the cable ends).
I had a similar situation in my daughter's room. There was no cable jack in her room, but we mounted a flat screen on an articulating arm on the wall next to her closet. I then installed a cable jack close to, and around the same height as, the TV. There was already a signal-splitter in the attic from which I ran a coax line down through the closet wall and hooked it up from there.
It sounds like you should find someway to fish the cable up the wall to the spot where you want to install the cable jack. You could hire a cable tech if you want to spend the money. However, you should be able to do this project yourself.

A great place to stay if you are visiting UF for a visit, orientation, or parent's weekend. Located in the student union, rooms are clean and spacious, but it is not a fancy hotel. Continental breakfast is provided on each floor (near the elevators), which is very convenient. Parking is provided but you have to navigate stairs, so drop off your bags first. Definitely worth the price.

what is deconstruction in literature?deconstruction
3 Answers | Add Yours
Deconstruction is an approach to reading literary texts (as well as other kinds of texts) that stresses that no final, settled, secure interpretation of a text is possible. Deconstructors argue that texts cannot have sure, certain, decisive "meanings." For the self-contradictions involved in such an argument, see, for instance, Reed Way Dasenbrock's book Truth and Consequences. See also the works of other such other critics of deconstruction as M. H. Abrams, Brian Vickers, John M. Ellis, and Raymond Tallis, to mention just a few. Also worth reading are the debates between Jacques Derrida and John Searle.
Deconstruction, in its most simplest explanation, is the examination of a text in regards to what is not being stated, what is left out. It was initiated by French philosopher Jacques Derrida in the 1960s. It is grounded in structuralism and semiotics.

Key stat: The two teams combined for 210 yards of offense in the first quarter. Georgia had most of it with 130, including 124 through the air.
Key moment: Bulldog running back Danny Ware somehow slipped behind every Mississippi State defender with 8:49 left in the quarter and was wide open in the end zone to catch his second touchdown pass of the season. Quarterback D.J. Shockley first looked to scramble on the play but then spotted Ware and lofted the scoring pass.
The man: Shockley, who was 7-for-7 passing in the first 15 minutes. He piled up 124 yards and one touchdown during that time.
Score: Georgia 7, Mississippi State 3
Second quarter
Key stat: Mississippi State lost 3 yards on their 14 offensive plays in the quarter after gaining 80 in the first quarter.
Key moment: Shockley completed a 14-yard pass across the middle to Kenneth Harris to convert a third-and-6 late in the quarter. The conversion allowed the Bulldogs to get their second touchdown two plays later.
The man: Georgia defensive end Quentin Moses took the team lead for sacks all by himself by bringing down Omarr Conner two times, once for a loss of 7 yards and again for a loss of 4. At halftime, he had four sacks on the season.
Score: Georgia 14, Mississippi State 3
Third quarter
Key moment: o Shockley found tight end Leonard Pope for a 34-yard gain on fourth-and-5 midway through the quarter to set up Georgia at Mississippi State's 1-yard line. However, UGA didn't take full advantage, getting only a field goal out of the possession after State stuffed two straight goal line runs and Georgia committed a third-down penalty.
Key stat: o Georgia had 137 yards as the offense returned to its first-quarter form, however, it got only six points out of the quarter.
The man: o Georgia's tight end position. Pope and Martrez Milner each caught at least one pass for a gain for more than 20 yards and a key first down.
The score: o Georgia 20-3.
Fourth quarter
Key moment: o When Conner found tight end Eric Butler for a 4-yard scoring pass with 7:18 left in the game and gave the few thousand fans left in the stadium something to cheer about.
Key stat: o Mississippi State gained 69 yards on a five-play scoring drive midway through the quarter. That was 28 more yards than it gained in the second and third quarters combined.
The man: o Conner, despite being beaten and battered all night long, never lost his composure or his fight. With fewer than 10 minutes left in the game, he completed a 44-yard pass to tight end Butler, a 30-yarder to Joey Sanders and the touchdown to Butler, more than doubling his yardage total for the game.
The score: o Georgia 23-10.

ENLIGHTENED | HBO | October 10 | Mondays, 9:30 | HBO's not rolling out any new epics on a par with Boardwalk Empire or Game of Thrones this fall (they're saving them for early 2012). Instead, they're giving us this dark comedy from Mike White (writer of School of Rock and The Good Girl) about a woman (Laura Dern) who has a public meltdown, then returns to the world with a new outlook on life. Unfortunately, she constantly rubs that new perspective in everyone else's faces, including those of her ex-husband (Luke Wilson) and mother (Dern's actual mother, Diane Ladd). White does good work, and this should pair nicely with the delightful Bored to Death, but still: can HBO just premiere Michael Mann's Luck and Armando Iannucci's Veep already?

We have two chief concerns about this daytime moisturizer with sunscreen: The formula's high clay (kaolin) content means it's minimally moisturizing and the inclusion of fragrant jasmine oil puts skin at risk of irritation. Because the sunscreen actives this contains can be irritating for some, the addition of other potential irritants isn't good news; however, Boscia added some favorable anti-irritants, too.
This lightweight daytime moisturizer provides broad-spectrum protection and is best for oily to combination skin. Antioxidants are present though the ones used here aren't more "vital" for skin than many others; as a reminder, there isn't one best antioxidant to look for, there are lots of outstanding antioxidants available.
The jasmine oil keeps this from earning a better rating but this may still be worth a try, particularly if you want a daytime product with a soft matte finish that works well under makeup. The packaging will help keep the light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable during use—always a plus!
Defend your skin against the first signs of aging with this antioxidant-rich daytime moisturizer that combines moisturizer and sunscreen for nourishment and protection. It absorbs quickly, prevents premature signs of aging, and promotes skin suppleness for a youthful look.
Active Ingredients: Avobenzone 3%, Octinoxate 7.5%. Inactive Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Kaolin, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Caprylyl Methicone, Dimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Bis-PEG/PPG-16/16 PEG/PPG-16/16 Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate, Glycereth-26, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract, Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Wine Extract, Althaea Officinalis Leaf/Root Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Extract, Algae Extract, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Decylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Polysorbate 80, Diglycerin, Acrylates Copolymer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Cyclopentasiloxane, Stearic Acid, Behenyl Alcohol, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Xanthan Gum, Dimethiconol, Citric Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol.
Strengths: All of the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection; the packaging not only keeps the plant-based and antioxidant ingredients stable but also helps minimize these preservative-free products' exposure to bacteria and organisms that can cause unhealthy changes; some good cleansers and moisturizers.
Weaknesses: Expensive considering the smaller-than-average sizes; several products are marred by the inclusion of irritating ingredients; no effective options for managing acne; only one poor option for lightening skin discolorations.
Hailing from Japan and distributed through Fancl International in California, Boscia has two unique selling points: first, the entire line of products is preservative-free; second, almost every product contains both the anti-irritant willow herb plus jojoba leaf, which supposedly has superior antioxidant properties. The company's belief is that preservatives do not make skin-care products more effective; rather, they simply extend the product's shelf life, sort of like Tupperware keeps food fresher, longer.
They also believe that preservatives are responsible for skin troubles such as rashes and breakouts, and so our skin is better off without them. This is an interesting philosophy, and, as is true for many marketing ploys, there is some truth and some fabrication in their assertions.
Although preservatives can be sensitizing, they usually are present in such minute amounts that most consumers do not experience any trouble, and their skin barely registers a flicker of recognition. In reality, only a few people ever react to any amount of a preservative. A report that examined preservative sensitization in the United Kingdom tested 10 common preservatives on almost 7,000 subjects. The results? Only 2% of the participants exhibited an allergic reaction, and that was under conditions of patch testing and using a pure concentration of the preservative. That reaction rate is amazingly low, and it's important to note that the exposure in the study (extremely high given the pure concentration and use of the patch method) is quite different from the exposure you get from the minuscule amounts of preservatives present in cosmetic products, which are there to keep potentially harmful bacteria and organisms under control.
Similar results were seen in a Swiss study that examined preservative sensitization rates among almost 2,300 subjects over a period of one year (Source: Contact Dermatitis, September 2007, pages 165–168, and May 1994, pages 276–279). Clearly, as demonstrated by these studies, preservatives are not the source of skin problems that Boscia makes them out to be.
What Boscia doesn't acknowledge is the research showing that preservatives do make cosmetics better. An effective preservative system absolutely does safeguard the integrity of fragile or inherently unstable ingredients by minimizing the growth of bacteria and microbes, which definitely are detrimental to any cosmetic and to your skin. Cosmetics chemists worldwide consider preservatives an essential element in providing safe, stable products (as do cosmetics regulatory agencies throughout the world).
Surely the chemists behind Boscia's products must know that it is impossible to keep a skin-care product entirely free of bacteria and pathogens, even with preservatives. If they disputed this point, they wouldn't sell their products with a "use by" date or recommend that their customers use the entire product within six months of opening. Instead, they'd assert their superiority and let their customers know that their innovative and specialized practices alone are enough to keep their products free of contaminants.
It's also important to note that, technically, Boscia products are not entirely preservative-free. Some of the plant extracts they include (such as rosemary and lavender) have mild preservative properties due to their volatile chemical components. Even zinc oxide, which appears in a handful of Boscia products, has been shown to inhibit the growth of fungus when used in cosmetics products (Source: Preservatives in Cosmetics, 2nd Edition, Allured Publishing, Steinberg, 2006, page 105). We personally wouldn't choose one of these ingredients to preserve a water-based skin-care product over tried-and-true synthetic preservatives (including the unfairly and foolishly maligned parabens), but then again, consumers considering Boscia will likely perceive their products as being more natural (and, therefore, safer) than those from other lines—when that isn't at all the truth.
Besides, if Boscia is so concerned about reducing skin reactions and with being a viable option for people with sensitive skin, why do several of their products contain known irritants? Peppermint, menthol, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, and pepper resin are a much greater cause of concern for your skin than any preservative system available. Yet Boscia doesn't bother to explain that. Instead, they position their entire line as soothing for every skin cell, when that absolutely is not true.
Turning to the two ingredients Boscia highlights in their products, willow herb and jojoba leaf, both are viable options with value for skin. Willow herb, while not unique to Boscia (we've been using it in some of my products for years) is indeed a potent anti-irritant (Source: Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, October 1999, pages 3954–3962). As for jojoba leaf, there is no published research documenting its antioxidant ability. Like most plant leaves, it likely has some amount of antioxidant potency, but given the number of antioxidants that have been studied for use on skin, why would you hang your hopes on jojoba leaf, with no research behind it? Luckily, Boscia includes other antioxidants, too, and most of them have at least some research proving they are reliable additions.
There are some bright spots in this Japanese line. Each of the sunscreens provides sufficient UVA protection, and they offer a mineral-based version suitable for sensitive skin. They have a couple of good cleansers, and a few of the moisturizers are impressive and worth the splurge. It's also a plus that almost every Boscia product comes in packaging that keeps the contents protected from light and air—not a jar to be found! Given that only a small number of consumers need to avoid products with preservatives, we wish this line offered a more complete range of products to meet the needs of those consumers. As is, you'll have to think of Boscia as a nice pair of shoes with elegant accessories, and shop elsewhere to complete the ensemble.

Maybe gas?

If you have medical insurance there is usually a "nurse line" you can call and get some advice. Sorry,I'm stumped!
It really sounds like you have a hernia. Is it tender?
Regardless, you need to see a doctor.

- Ed
Awesome work ! Do you plan an HTML version ?
Nothing set in stone yet, but possibly a future project.
- Ed
Hi Ed, very nice work!
Would buy it right away, but need following customization afterwards:
I need the content to be shown above the images in portfolio items. http://themes.swiftpsd.com/punch/?portfolio=sazzi
And are shortcodes available in content area of portfolio item??
(!) Filter on portfolio page does not work for me in IE8 …
Thank you!
Hi there,
Thanks for the kind words
We'll be happy to provide that customisation for you for free (simple php change), and provide a fix for the IE8 issue.
- Ed
Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
Currently working on the theme very nice so far! Just one issue:
I can´t get the thumbnails to work. The portfolio item is listed and the slider is showing the images, but no thumbnail appears. Have tried different ways (thumbnail options, wordpress gallery option etc.) but does not work for me.
Any thoughts? Please advise and maybe you can fix it at my site since I need it to get alive asap.
Thank you!
Glad you like it
If you could please log a support ticket at http://support.swiftpsd.com with a link and login details, then I'll be happy to look into it for you.
I'll get it sorted for you within the next 2 hours.
- Ed
Just created a ticket and sent you the credentials by mail (via contact form in your portfolio).
Thanks in advance!
On this now, check your mail
- Ed
great theme! question can the pictures on the front page- for example sassi mobile app open a video similar to a lightbox effect? I would like to have the option of clicking on the picture and opening a video or possibly a slideshow When video are included on pages are they mobile optimized?
The thumbnails can open to the post, a provided URL , lightbox the thumbnail, or lightbox another image. On the post page you can choose to have an image, video, slider, or gallery (such as the Sazzi item). When videos are included they are mobile optimized, yes.
Hope that helps!
- Ed
so you cant open a video directly? if the provided url is a video that would open as a new page correct?
Hi there,
Yes that is correct. We wanted to be able to provide video within a lightbox, but decided that it would be more important to offer a slicker lightbox solution, like the one we have included.
- Ed
Hi Ed, Fantastic theme. When I click on, "skins" and I try to click white it just reloads the black. In addition, is there any way to default the theme to just white?
Hi there,
That switcher is for demo purposes only. If you'd like to set the theme to be white, then you can do so through the Color Customizer, for which there is a handy link to in the admin bar at the top.
Hope that helps.
- Ed
awesome work mate. inspiration? http://www.julienrenvoye.com/
Thanks mate! Yes, we really like that site
- Ed
Is it possible to add more content to homepage? Like under the portfolio on the homepage but before the footer widgets?
Hi Wesley,
Not as standard, but that's definitely something I'll get into v1.1. If it's something that you need then I'll be happy to provide the code for it.
- Ed
ok thanks…just trying to get this look http://cl.ly/image/42292y3b1z2D some where above the footer…love this theme though…maybe will purchase this weekend.
That would be more than possible once I get the icons in, which should be v1.1.
Ok sure, let us know if you do and if you want the modifications done.
- Ed
Hi Ed, the up arrow button (scroll to the top) is not working for me in the most current version of all the major browsers. Any suggestions? (view at www.colorfiremedia.com Thanks
Hi there, thanks for the purchase!
In /js/functions.js.php on line 38 remove the following:
Apologies for that, this will be fixed in v.1.0.1 which has been sent for review.

The opportunity China represents is undeniable, especially in light of the stalled economic recovery in both North America and Europe. However, as I write in my new report out today "Select The Right Interactive Agency In China," the consumer and technology landscape in China is changing faster than supermodels in between struts down the catwalk. And, the threat of failure looms large for brands with a shallow understanding of Chinese consumer behavior, cultural expectations, and digital platforms.

Chris Bale's profile is hitting new heights at the Fifa Club World Cup as global media link the midfielder with Welsh maestro and namesake Gareth Bale.
The pragmatic Auckland City player takes the tenuous connection in his stride in his usual calm fashion.
"I don't know Gareth Bale and we don't have a similar playing style except perhaps in that we have a similar work ethic, strong desire and a competitive streak," he said.
Bale, Chris not Gareth, came to New Zealand with his parents several years ago and enjoys the lifestyle the country has to offer, seeing soccer as a bonus rather than his main job.
Its easy to misinterpret his perspective on the game as dismissive, but that's hardly the case.
"When I was younger I was definitely a football supporter. I was a big Liverpool fan but as you get older your priorities change.
"When the realisation comes that you're not going to live your dream as a professional footballer you let that go and learn to appreciate the things you've got," he said.
Bale has been an ever-present in the Auckland City set-up since joining the Navy Blues from Waitakere United at the start of last season and is an important cog in the midfield engine room.
And that attitude of gratitude underpins everything the Kiwi-Welsh Bale is about.
"Since I came to New Zealand I've had it pretty good in football terms. Not many Welsh players can say they've played in four Fifa Club World Cups," he said.
Bale believes Auckland City has a solid look to it this year that gives the Navy Blues a big chance in Wednesday's do-or-die showdown with Raja Casablanca. And he thinks the warm-up match with Espanyol could be a springboard to success.
"We did quite well in the Espanyol match in Barcelona and I'm not afraid to say we dominated the first half of that game against a top team.
"There weren't any youngsters in that Espanyol side and I think we had a lot of positives particularly in the first half, so we should leverage off that success.
Bale acknowledges that Raja Casablanca in a competitive match is a different type of challenge after a 30,000km round-the-world journey but he remains optimistic.
"We've got enough about us to get over the line against Casablanca, we just need to play the way we play. Football is a funny old game, so much comes down to what happens on the day," he said.
Auckland City face Raja Casablanca on Thursday morning (NZT).

Pizza with the lot
Page Tools

Photo: Natalie Boog
It has something Italian for everyone, including noise and glare, writes Annette Shun Wah.
Milano Bar, 86 Great North Road, Five Dock, 9712 5268. Tues-Sun 7am-late
The Milano Bar aims to be all things to all people. The first hint of this is the glass display cabinet full of good-looking pastries and cakes even at 7.30 in the evening. Although it is unlicensed, it calls itself a bar, but it's also a trattoria, pizzeria and gelateria, and its day starts at 7 in the morning.
The four of us are seated at a tiny square wooden table, on which we will be making a series of chess-like moves as we shuffle glasses, bottles, crockery and cutlery for the rest of the evening.
When the food arrives, there's certainly no room for the packets of travel photos my friends have brought to show us, and rather than stow them under their seats where they might be forgotten, they decide the safest option is to sit on them.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. It'll be some time before there is food, partly because it takes so long to consider all the choices and partly because the place is so crowded. Printed along one lime green wall is the standard menu, including a long list of pastas, pizzas, seafood dishes and more.
In addition to this are the daily specials, handwritten on a whiteboard. Then, at the far end of the room, where the pizza chef tosses discs of elastic dough in the air with great finesse, are a few more specials.
The rustic, traditional wood-fired pizza oven looks at odds with the bright, modern cafe decor. But, as I said, this place tries to be all things - not only in feeding its clientele, but in keeping us entertained. Music blares from hidden speakers and a huge widescreen TV, suspended from the ceiling in the centre of the restaurant, is set to the fashion channel - probably chosen by the waiting staff who are all young women.
My friends have taken me on a photographic tour of Dubai and Cambodia before one of our waiters realises our entree has not yet arrived. She apologises for the delay and delivers a complimentary fresh tomato pizza to keep us busy while we wait. The pizza's lukewarm, but tasty, and all that virtual travel has made us hungry. We've just about demolished it when our entrees arrive.
We'd chosen one of the pizza specials - chicken, porcini mushrooms, tomato and bacon. The porcini gives an intense flavour kick and the thin crust is chewy and golden. That pizza tosser certainly knows his stuff.
I look up as another fashion parade begins on the telly, amused to see that the screen is on the wrong setting - "fat vision" as I like to call it - making the models look normal size. This is particularly gratifying as I reach for another wedge of pizza.
A few of the early diners have left by now, but their tables are quickly filled with newcomers. There are a few couples, but mostly large family groups. Six middle-aged Italian men settle in beside us and confidently order pizzas and pasta.
It's another long wait before our mains arrive. When they do there's a mad re-arrangement of glassware, bottles, jugs and utensils before we can accommodate the big, white, rectangular plates.
We've all opted for seafood in one form or another. The char-grilled octopus and calamari is tender and served simply with lemon juice and salad. The tuna with pesto is cooked a little more than medium, as requested, but is still quite moist and tender. My partner's snapper, sealed in foil and cooked with tomatoes, mussels and prawns is a generous serve.
All are well-prepared, simple dishes, but unremarkable.
There's a delay in delivering my linguini vongole and with practised charm, the waiter explains it is because the dish is being prepared with "extra love". She could be right, especially if that love is translated as garlic and chilli. It's delicious, but a bit of a struggle thanks to that extra pizza. No worries, my partner polishes off the lot, compensating for his under-loved snapper.
Unfortunately we're too full to sample the special pizza dessert - nutella calzone. Outrageous.
Out of 10
Food 7
Everything Italian, but the pizzas and pasta dishes are their strong suit.
Service 7
Unpretentious, attentive and charming, but the kitchen lags a bit.
Atmosphere 7
Busy, noisy and very bright. Perhaps there's an electrician in the family.
Value 8
About $40 for three courses.

Welcome back to This Week in Tomo!
Prepare yourself for a long episode, because Kristina and I talk a whole lot about C3. No, not the explosive's reject younger brother. I'm talking about the toy expo that showed everybody what they'll be spending their greenbacks on in the next couple of months. There's talk of PVC models, garage kits, boys, girls and more. If you liked our coverage, we go way more in depth stuff from Kotobukiya, Good Smile Company, Volks, etc. It's a pretty varied, as we got into several video game characters as well as the usual anime assortment that we'd normally dig.
Hit the jump to watch the extra long episode.
