Best product on the market
By Colleen

About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about RESIST Retinol Serum - 1 oz:
I love this stuff! All the products that we have used of Paula's have been great but this is outstanding. I have many dark spots on my face that have almost disappeared and so have any wrinkles I have. I am 63 years old and feel like my face has drastically changed the way I look. I use the Resist Intensive Wrinkle repair retinol serum every other day and within the first 3 days I was amazed. I used to sell Nerium but this kicks them in the butt!

Love this product
By Loz
from Portland, OR
I would absolutely buy this product again if not for the fact I'd like to try a higher concentration of retinol in my skincare routine. I have very oily skin, acne, and I'm entering my 30s, so I'm trying to stay ahead of the game as I age while improving the skin I already have. When I initially read reviews for this product, I was a bit nervous about the texture since several people mention it's greasy. It does have a somewhat tacky feel in your fingers, and on skin once it is freshly applied. It feels heavy, but not exactly oily, and very smooth. I always mixed it with a booster, which made it feel lighter and less tacky. However, even after applied alone, after a minute or two on your face, it sinks in really nicely and doesn't leave the tacky feel. I have very oily skin and absolutely hate the feel of any product that is even remotely greasy. However, I really liked this product and would keep it in my bag, especially since it offers a nice, mid-range amount of retinol. If I can't handle a higher dose, I'll be coming back to this one for sure.
Fantastic for my mimic wrinkles!
By Dina

About Me Minimalist
Bought it for my 59 y.o. mom and tried it by chance over our weekend stay. Can't believe it removed all my mimic wrinkles around eyes in just two overnight sessions!!! Tried different stuff before that - incl PC's eye cream, Moist boost and Resist Serum (dark blue one) - nothing worked. Next time will buy the stuff for myself)
Incredible product

Too drying for my skin
By Jo
from Virginia
I realize this product is to help cell turnover - but OMG it dries me out and makes me peel and flake to the point where I just can't use it, even diluted. Wanted to love it, but it's a no-go for me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By Rick
from San Jose, CA
This serum is great because it has retinol, but its very greasy and takes a while to absorb. I think I like the Super Antioxident Serum better. Wish it didn't have the oat kernel oil.

Hey, this works for me!
By Perk
from Custer, SD
I'm 77 years old, and you know I need all the help I can get! I use this serum once daily , usually in the evening, and Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum, usually in the morning. I have dry skin, but creams make me break out if used over time. At times I add boosters, a retinol treatment, or an exfoliant. Nothing's going to remove all my wrinkles short of surgery, but these serums soften my skin and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

About Me INGREDIENT PERFECTIONIST
I love this retinol serum. All the resist treatments are superb but this is one of my favorites. I alternate between this and the resist antioxidant serum. I love that is has Vit C and retinol in it. Asuper effective product for dry skin, wrinkles and spots. Goes on oily but skin soaks it in in a matter of minutes. I love it!

Luxurious product
By Marigoldsmom
from North Florida
Thank you Paula for what you have done for all of us. I have followed your makeup advice since the 90's and read your books. I am grateful that my skin looks so good for my 65 years. I grew up in South. Fl in the 50s and basked in the sun using iodine and baby oil. About 6 years ago I began better skin care with another well known line formulated by an oriental doctor. And it did well enough, but was very expensive and somewhat irritating. Now, with your products, most of the darker areas are faded, my skin looks bright and clear and dewy. I love your retinol products. My skin is a bit delicate but used as recommended, I rarely have discomfort. Thank you for effective packaging, reasonable prices, and products that do not disappoint.

Greasy and Causes Breakouts!
By Meghan
from Boston, MA
About Me Skin Care Professional
I have combination skin, and purchased this product because I wanted to slowly introduce retinol into my regular routine. This product caused my skin to break out and felt very greasy and uncomfortable on my face. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this product.

Likewise, the spirit also comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26
Inexpressible groanings seem to be the stuff of my life these days.
My groans mingle with tears at the bedside of my brother as he slowly, slowly retreats into himself in these last days.
I watch my brother, now in hospice as we have reached that point, and I realize how small our lives are, and how a prolonged death makes them ever smaller. A few months ago it became clear that S could no longer drive, and so the car became meaningless to him, and the world began to shrink. Then he couldn't go out, and so his clothes were irrelevant, and the world became four rooms and a bath. Then he could no longer cook and his staggeringly well-equipped kitchen became so-much excess. (When one is only eating soup or soft-boiled eggs, a simple hotplate will do; when you're mostly drinking Ensure, all you need is a cooler.)
And meds. Bottles and bottles of meds. You need them, and they begin to take over. The world is smaller, but the nightstands are not large enough. The object d'arts are put away and replaced with bottles of multi-colored pills, retractable needles with pre-measured doses, large bottles of pasty yellow stuff that is supposedly liquid…the world becomes your bedroom and your bathroom, your tv and your meds. You pop opium-based painkillers while watching Emeril cook with your Kitchen Aid mixer and wonder how he got into your stuff. Then, when your brother hurts his back lifting you because you are literally too weak to move, your world shrinks again, until it is only your bedroom, and then only your bed. Emeril is silent. The burners are turned low. The whole large world, which you had launched yourself into recklessly, with abandon, the world you had yourself enlarged with your art and your playfulness and your noise has become compressed and concentrated and hushed.
This is not merely a matter of space and proportion, of physical layout. When you are admitted to hospice, you land in an open, airy, colorful room with a lovely view of the autumn leaves, and the heartening, kind and cheerful chatter of nurses and nuns, but you are still inward and small. Your physical space has expanded but your body and mind have moved further away. My brother's world now is reduced to an hourly hit of pain meds and an occasional lucid moment. I watch him move to a fetal position, and wonder if the process of dying is taking him not only inward but backward. He converses, but his conversations are interior. His lips move but he says nothing. His agitation is soothed by the merest touch. He opens his eyes and announces he is going. I ask him where he is going and he replies that he is going to Florida. I bid him a safe journey and Godspeed, and he closes his eyes and fades back out.
But he is still here, lingering. S has his things about him, his own quilts and pictures and tshochkes, and he is suspended between two worlds, half in and half out of heaven. I lean in and tell him he's got his boarding pass and is cleared for take-off whenever he's ready to leave…and he stays, and he groans and we groan and pray. Evening comes and morning follows. The next day.
The support is heartening. The family is rallying, even the cousins are coming to help, to take a shift, to give S a manicure or a back rub or a flower. But with all of that, I think to myself so often, where would we be without prayer? And I thank God for those inexpressible groans which have the effect of enlarging our view, and giving our spirits some room to breath, of giving our souls some respose. As the world becomes the road to and from hospice and the room and the bed, prayer expands our breath, keeps us from suffocating. It brings balance.

On-site support
Airbus operators are backed by teams of motivated managers and engineers who provide support and guidance from the moment an airline considers acquiring Airbus aircraft through the jetliners' entire operational life.
Customer Support Directors work with airlines to ensure Airbus' commitments are met for training, documentation, spares support and other services. These directors assist operators as they expand their fleets, and provide valuable guidance to help airlines adapt to changing market conditions.
The Airbus Customer Support Directors work with airlines in such areas as monitoring dispatch reliability and are able to address issues before they become problems.
Airbus' Resident Customer Support Managers (also known as field service representatives) are located at airports across the United States, Canada, and Latin America, providing an on-site contact for airlines on engineering and technical matters.
Resident Customer Support Managers in the United States are positioned at Charlotte, Columbus, Denver, Detroit, Duluth, Ft. Lauderdale, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Tulsa, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. In Canada, Airbus has RCSMs at Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal's Mirabel and Dorval airports.
Latin American customers can find field representatives in Mexico City and Toluca, Mexico, as well as in such cities as San Salvador, El Salvador; Quito, Ecuador; Sao Paolo, Brazil; Santiago, Chile; and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In addition, Airbus places Resident Customer Support Managers on assignment at certain locations for specific support tasks. For example, dedicated Resident Customer Support Managers currently are located at Los Angeles and New York's JFK specifically for international airlines serving these destinations with long-range Airbus aircraft – including the A380.

Here's a home remedy submitted by an Osprey, Florida reader (who claims that it'll provide relief for colds, fever, infections, or inflammations). Before retiring in the evening, Olive Lammon wraps her feet once with lightweight cloth, then places cut pieces of fresh garlic over her soles and wraps the cloth around one more time. Olive then puts socks over the "bandages" and sleeps that way through the night. In the morning she removes socks, cloth, and garlic and allows her feet to "breathe". The Sunshine Stater claims that the garlic actually "draws" sickness and poison from the body.
Anyone who has a small child realizes how difficult it can be to get youngsters to swallow pills. Well, Jane Ratting of Uehling, Nebraska dips her child's medication in butter . . . which allows the tablets or capsules to slide down easily (with the help of a sip of water or fruit juice).
Jerry Severino extends the life of his (non-electric) razor by keeping it submerged in rubbing alcohol when it's not being used. The Chicago, Illinois reader reports that the "bath" keeps the razor sanitary, and slows the oxidation of the blade.
When Margaret Holt is left with alfalfa sprouts that aren't fresh, she tosses them into the pots of her ornamental houseplants. After the sprouts begin to grow in the potting mix, the Van Horne, Iowa reader turns them back into the soil as an "indoor green manure".
"My husband's 93-year-old grandmother always said that the finer a coffee bean is ground, the more flavor it'll release and the less we'd have to use to brew our beverage," writes Betty Sauntry of Blanchester, Ohio. "Nowadays, my husband and I grind our own beans daily, and we've cut our coffee bill considerably."
Winter weather isn't much fun at times, and it can be downright dangerous to travel in. Cindy Wells of Steamboat Springs, Colorado (a town that knows what winter is about) offers the following tips for keeping safe on the road. First, she says, cut open some old inner tubes . . . fill them with sand and tape them closed . . . then put them in your automobile trunk. The weight will help give the vehicle traction, and the sand will come in handy should you need to get unstuck. Cindy also suggests storing a sleeping bag in the car (as "warmth insurance", just in case you have engine trouble and get stranded) and stashing some high-energy health snacks in the glove compartment (to see you through an emergency and help prevent hypothermia).
When winter's chilling winds keep your youngsters indoors all day long, you might want to consider this tip from Lyons, Colorado reader Dennis Ras. It seems that when Dennis was a child, his mother would bring in buckets of fresh snow from the yard and dump it into the kitchen sink. He would then "play in the snow" — never leaving the warmth of his home — until the last flake melted . . . at which point his mom could simply pull the plug and let the water run down the drain.
You can easily provide shelter and protection for your outdoor dog during the cold season by making the canine a hay house! Giovanna McCall, who lives in the Allegheny Mountains near Hightown, Virginia, made her "Shep" a warm, snug home by stacking six bales of hay as shown above. The bales block chilly nighttime winds . . . and come spring they make good mulch for the garden.
There is a cure for the common cold, according to Ed Robertson of Richmond, Virginia. When Ed feels the all too familiar symptoms coming on, he avoids high protein foods and grains . . . and consumes only raw vegetables such as carrots, lettuce, and celery. Ed contends that cold viruses thrive in the body's naturally acidic pH. By temporarily altering the balance with alkaline foods, he claims; he produces an environment in which the viruses can't survive.
Carl Lucker had a door that wasn't good enough to use as a door but was still too good to just throw away. Well, the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho resident also had need of a table that he could use to keep his work safely out of his "helpful" three-year-old's reach. Carl soon devised a solution . . . he hinged the door to a wall in his basement! The Gem Stater first nailed a sturdy board onto the studs of a wall partition and screwed hinges to it. Then, instead of adding legs to his door/table, he supported the front with chains which attached to the floor joists overhead. When extra floor space is needed, the table can be neatly swung up against the wall and held in place with an eye hook.
"My parents' favorite (and now expected ) Christmas gift is a homemade calendar with the grandchildren's pictures decorating each month," submits Kay Johnson of Omaha, Nebraska. "We start the annual project each January by taking a photograph of the children bringing in the New Year, and every month thereafter we do a 'shooting' appropriate to that month. In December we have the pictures enlarged and assemble the calendar, using the photos and colored paper. Since we don't live near either set of grandparents, these presents have always been especially welcome."
"Give your cats something other than already established houseplants to play with," Barbara Kelly of Evansville, Wisconsin suggests. "Avocado pits make excellent toys . . . and felines find them fascinating because the lopsided seeds never roll the same way twice."
Cabool, Missourian Clark Shannon wrote to tell us about a radio program broadcast from the heart of the Missouri Ozarks. "Tradio" is a free service, offered by an area station, that both allows listeners to locate or sell particular items and publicizes folks who are willing to barter. The Show Me Stater recommends that other MOTHER-readers petition their local radio stations to start Tradio programs, as well.
"I've always enjoyed MOTHER'S center spreads ... but I used to get frustrated leafing through back issues in search of a particular one," writes Mrs. Stan Sell of Brook, Indiana. "Now, though, I sandwich each colorful, useful chart between sheets of clear contact paper, and transform them into place mats. They provide handy information, motivation, and conversation.
"This idea could also be used to preserve children's artwork (making gifts for grandparents) . . . or to help your youngsters learn multiplication tables, metric conversions, birds, wildflowers, or anything else!"
Rebecca Blackburn makes her own carob chips by combining equal parts of peanut butter, carob powder, and honey. The Washington Stater heats the ingredients, then spreads the mixture about 1/4" thick on buttered plates. Rebecca "solidifies" the carob treat by setting the plates in the freezer for about ten minutes. After that, she cuts the candy into 1/4" squares for use in cooking and baking.
When Dave Tyser's boots begin to smell a little less than fresh, the Belvidere, Nebraska reader slips them inside a paper bag and pops them in the freezer for several days. He reasons that bad odors result from fungus or bacterial growth, and that the chilly temperatures will effectively reduce the problem.
For some reason pilot lights always seem to be located where they're next-to-impossible to get at! Well, the next time one of these little flames goes out in your house, try this bit of lore from Rick Oprisu of Carmel, Indiana. He lights a long piece of dry spaghetti with a match and uses the slow-burning piece of pasta to reach the troublesome spot safely and easily.
Delbert Unruh makes a low-cost but effective burglar alarm using a quart glass jar and marbles. The Mt. Lehman, British Columbia resident places marbles two inches deep in the jar . . . and sets the glass container on a ten-inch pedestal just inside his front door every night before going to bed. Delbert feels certain that the sound of falling marbles (and breaking glass) would quickly awaken everyone in the house.
And speaking of marbles . . . still another Canadian MOTHER-reader — Graham Noble of Kamloops, British Columbia — gave us this idea for relaxing your feet after a long hard day. Graham says to find a board that's just slightly larger than both your feet, and then glue or nail 1/4" doweling around the perimeter. After filling the tray with marbles of varying sizes, you can remove your shoes and rub your feet over the little glass spheres. According to Graham, not only is this procedure relaxing and good for your feet, but the tray makes a good storage spot for marbles . . . and even looks pretty!
Whenever you heat your oven to cook an evening meal, you can let that expended energy perform another useful task, suggests Mrs. Jerry Russell of Van Buren, Arkansas. After removing a dinner and turning off the stove, she places a big pot of water in the still-hot oven. By the time the meal is over, the liquid is generally hot enough to wash the dishes.
This winter, utilize the heat that invariably rises to your ceiling to make beef jerky! Beaverton, Oregon reader Ralph Kirkman ties a line, from one wall to another, about six inches below his kitchen ceiling . . . then hangs thin strips of meat-using "S-hooks" made from ordinary paper clips-to the line. The meat stays out of the way and dries quickly and inexpensively. [EDITOR'S NOTE: When following this procedure, of course, you'll have to keep an eye on your jerky-to-be . . . if the room isn't hot enough, the meat could spoil before it "cures".]
Whole grain bread crusts are saved in the Carpenter household . . . and turned into a "mock cheese soufflé". Mrs. Bonnie Carpenter of Mt. Vernon, Ohio takes 4 to 6 slices of old crusty bread (the tougher the better, she says!) and layers them — along with 3 cups of any kind of grated cheese — in a buttered baking dish. Then, in a different container, Bonnie beats together 2 cups of milk, 3 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard . . . and a shake or two of pepper. This mixture is poured over the cheese and bread in the baking dish and allowed to soak in for at least 30 minutes. Finally, Bonnie sets the dish in a pan of water, then puts both into a 350°F oven for one hour.
Janine Calsbeek adds a touch of spring to her winter salads by growing green onions indoors. The Packwood, Iowa MOTHER-reader fills a medium-sized pot (at least eight inches in diameter) with dirt and then plants small bulbs (she uses the ones that didn't grow large enough to eat during the previous summer) close together. Janine covers the onions with a little more soil, and places the pot near a south-facing window. The green tops shoot up quickly . . . and if she harvests these when they're about six inches tall, the savory garnish will keep growing back all winter long. [EDITOR'S NOTE: More tips on using members of the onion family can be found on pages 144 and 152.]
"To prevent your humidifier from accumulating lime deposits, put two aspirin tablets in it," suggests Georgians Green of Wapello, Iowa, "and add a pinch of your favorite spice or cologne to keep the water smelling sweet and fresh."
Through the years we've all probably discovered a few practical, down-home, time-tested solutions to the frustrating little problems of everyday life. Why not share your best "horse sense" with the rest of MOTHER's readers? Send your suggestions to Down-Home Country Lore, 105 Stoney Mountain Road, Hendersonville, North Carolina 28791. A one-year subscription — or a one year extension of an existing subscription — will then be sent to each contributor whose tip is printed in this column. — MOTHER.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was an outside advertising salesperson for Price Media (Outdoors NW magazine) for eight years. I had the highest revenue of the team, even exceeding publishers Carolyn Price and Greg Price, despite the fact that they had better access to advertising clients and sales leads than anyone else. I was repeatedly asked by Carolyn to "never quit" working for them because of the revenue I generated and the connections I'd established. She and Greg complimented my work on several occasions. I also saw them occasionally outside of work, and considered them friends.
After eight years of working for them, they apparently decided to scale back on the sales team to inside sales reps only. They did not bother to tell me this, or offer me an opportunity to take an inside position. I found out through my advertising clients when I called them to check in. [continued below]....
Through the publishing grapevine I have been told that other employees and contractors have been replaced without being notified by the Prices. There are rumored to be some serious financial problems plaguing the business. Carolyn and Greg view themselves as a friendly, small publisher that conducts itself with "honesty and integrity" as opposed to its large corporate competitors, but that's not the reality, at least not now. Very shoddy way to treat people.

|Tuesday April 9, 2002
As the inspiration for the television police drama Stingers, Guy Wilding was an ideal model for "a series about undercover cops - people with covert lives and constantly changing identities".
Yesterday the former Drug Enforcement Agency detective senior sergeant was before the Police Integrity Commission where a former drug dealer accused him of taking bribes to help reduce prison sentences.
Mr Wilding, who spent much of his 20 years in the police force undercover, later became the basis for the Peter Phelps character in Stingers and a creative consultant to the show.
Now describing his job as "home duties", he was the first witness at the PIC's investigation into alleged misconduct by DEA members, in particular the practice of detectives creating "letters of comfort" to assist offenders about to be sentenced.
While Mr Wilding denied he had ever taken money from any criminal, a former drug dealer dubbed P4 told the PIC that Mr Wilding and his partner had brokered a $12,000 to $15,000 payment to write a favourable letter to his sentencing judge.
When P4's sister was later arrested in Melbourne for supplying drugs, P4 claimed Mr Wilding and Detective Senior Constable Michael Kempnich offered to provide her with a similar letter for $30,000.
Mr Wilding told the PIC he had arrested P4 on June 28, 1991 at a flat in Darling Point where police found a quantity of LSD. P4 was then taken to his home at Manly, where no drugs were found, but from where P4 alleges about $7000 or $8000 disappeared from a jacket in his bedroom.
That morning P4 was granted bail from Manly police station without having to go to court and later became Mr Wilding's informant.
Mr Wilding could not recall how many times he had met P4 but said that on some occasions P4 wanted only to drink coffee "and say what a beautiful day it was".
But by the time P4 appeared for sentencing at the District Court on October 23, 1992, among the documents the prosecution handed to the judge was a letter signed by Mr Wilding detailing P4's help to police.
That letter said P4 was a registered informant known to Mr Wilding, Constable Kempnich and DEA Detective Superintendent Bob Lysaught, who had voluntarily supplied information which had been "instrumental" in the arrest of other offenders and the seizure of drugs.
P4 said the letter was written after Mr Wilding or Constable Kempnich said that for $12,000 to $15,000 they could arrange for a "little piece of paper" to be given to his judge "to
get maybe a lighter sentence".
According to the letter, the offenders P4 had helped catch were criminals, yesterday given code names of F5, C7, F6, R3, A3, G6, D7, C8, A1 and P1. Asked about the help P4 had provided in each of these cases, Mr Wilding could not recall the details of any of them.
For his part, P4 said he offered police nothing on F5, R3, A3, D7, P1, A1 or C8 - whom he did not even know. He had told Mr Wilding only that C7 and F6 were drug dealers and could not recall G6's name.
When P4 was sentenced for supplying ecstasy and possessing cocaine he received only a three-year good behaviour bond.
The hearing, before Assistant Commissioner Tim Sage, continues.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The bruised and battered Bruins (22-15-7) will head west this week for three games in the Golden State, with hopes of not heading south in the standings. Their trio of games on the left coast begins tonight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, where they will face off with the red hot Ducks (20-19-7).
Anaheim will look to build on their four-game win streak, culminating with a very impressive 3-1 victory over the Western Conference's top team, the Chicago Blackhawks. In that game, Anaheim put just 12 shots on goal, while Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller turned away 42 of 43 Chicago shots.
For the hometown team, the B's have won just once in their last four games, while injuries continue to mount. On the back end, Andrew Ference remains out for Boston with a groin injury, while center Marc Savard is also sidelined long term with a slightly torn knee ligament. Both players are not with the team in California.
Defenseman Mark Stuart, and forwards Patrice Bergeron and Byron Bitz did make the trip out west, with Bitz likely returning to the lineup this evening after battling a back issue. Stuart, who has been out for more than a month with a broken sternum, could be back on the ice by the end of the trip, likely rejoining the team in Los Angeles on Saturday. Bergeron, out with a broken thumb, is skating and practicing with the team, but is unlikely to play until later this month.
Let's dive in for more details, heading into tonight's swim with the Ducks…
Tags: Anaheim Ducks, Andrew Ference, Bobby Ryan, Boston Bruins, Byron Bitz, Claude Julien, Corey Perry, Ice Breakers, Jonas Hiller, Marc Savard, Marco Sturm, Mark Stuart, Patrice Bergeron, Ryan Getzlaf, Saku Koivu, Teemu Selanne, Tim Thomas

Rated 2 out of 5 by Rosaleen O. from It is a very nice design but due to the poor manufacturing, I would not recommend. The cabinet has a beautiful design. However, when it arrived it had been very poorly constructed. There were screws missing, and one of the rollers for the second drawer was detached from the cabinet, which led to visible scratching. There was also a part detached on the back. Luckily my boyfriend is an engineer and was able to more or less salvage it, however if I am going to buy an item in this condition, I expect it to come from a thrift store, not a retailer.

Uncommon Legacies
On view September 19, 2003 to December 14, 2003
Located in the: Special Exhibition Galleries
Uncommon Legacies is a nationally-traveling exhibition of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century masterworks from the PEM Native American collections. It was co-organized by the PEM and the American Federation of Arts and is currently on tour to venues at the Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibit celebrates the power, significance and exceptional artistic quality of one of the most important collections of early Native American art. The more than 100 works represent the distinct artistic traditions of a number of native cultures throughout North and South America, which were created during a dynamic period of interaction with non-natives beginning in the late eighteenth century. They express the worldviews, values, beliefs, and ways of being within each community, while at the same time show the creative response of Native American artists to an ever-changing world.

I think I took over 8 gigs of high res photos over the course of summer project because halfway through the summer, Andrew lent me his D300, which took an average size of 4-5 megs/picture. I digress, enjoy the photos!

|Please review CopyOnAttach property proposal
|Fri, 14 Sep 2007 05:53:31 GMT
All, This is following on to conversations started about a month ago regarding a new pmf property, CopyOnAttach, that when set to false would force makePersistent to transition detached parameters back to P-clean or P-dirty and return the very same instance without making a copy. For clarity, an example use case follows: <example> PersistenceManagerFactory pmf = JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory ("jdo.properties"); assert pmf.getDetachAllOnCommit() == true; assert pmf.getCopyOnAttach() == false; // assuming (for convenience) that there's a single instance of an Employee in the database, let's query for it, detaching on commit. final Employee emp; { PersistenceManager pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager(); pm.currentTransaction().begin(); emp = (Employee) pm.newQuery("select unique from Employee").execute(); pm.currentTransaction().commit(); } // 'emp' is now detached-clean assert isDetached(emp) && isClean(emp); emp.setAge(32); // 'emp' is now detached-dirty assert isDetached(emp) && isDirty(emp); Employee returned; { PersistenceManager pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager(); pm.currentTransaction().begin(); returned = pm.makePersistent(emp); pm.currentTransaction().commit(); } // 'emp' is now detached-clean. assert isDetached(emp) && isClean(emp); // and no copy was made during attachment assert emp == returned; </example> Normally, without CopyOnAttach == false (i.e.: current-world behavior), the final state of 'emp' in the example above would be 'detached-dirty' and 'returned' would be a brand new instance ending up 'detached-clean'. The new CopyOnAttach == false functionality allows the user to detach, modify and attach the same object an indefinite number of times without incurring a) the performance cost of copying and b) the usability cost of having to assign 'emp' to the return value on each call to makePersistent(). In the current world, the user *could* detach, modify and attach the same 'emp' object an indefinite number of times, simply disregarding the returned value, but there are two ill effects of doing this: a) copies are needlessly made, and worse, b) the parameter 'emp' instance remains forever 'detached-dirty'. This means that any field ever dirtied in 'emp' will always be flushed to the datastore, even if it is not further modified during subsequent iterations. This would be confusing to the user and another potential source of performance problems. Allowing the 'emp' instance to transition back to persistent-dirty and subsequently to detached-clean after commit solves this problem completely. I understand that I'm getting this in just under the wire for tomorrow's conference call; I don't expect folks to have reviewed it with such short lead time. But it can provide some fodder for discussion, and we'll all have a week to consider it before the next call. Please scrutinize this heavily; I consider this proposal a good start, and not necessarily complete by any means. I've included the proposal inline below, and also attached it as an RTF document. You'll likely find the RTF more readable as it uses bolding and italics to distinguish changes, etc. I'll also be attaching this proposal to the JIRA issue for this topic at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-522. I suggest that we add comments and changes there to cut down on duplications between email and JIRA. <proposed> 11.1: * CopyOnAttach: the PersistenceManager mode that indicates whether calls to makePersistent(pc) where pc is a detached instance will return the same instance or a copy of that instance. For backward compatibility reasons, this flag must default to 'true'. A11.1-40 [PersistenceManagerFactory.setCopyOnAttach(boolean flag) sets the value of the CopyOnAttach flag.] A11.1-41 [PersistenceManagerFactory.getCopyOnAttach() gets the value of the CopyOnAttach flag.] 11.1-33: + "javax.jdo.option.CopyOnAttach" A5.5.9-2 [Detached-dirty instances do not change their life cycle state unless CopyOnAttach is set to false. If CopyOnAttach is false, detached-dirty instances may transition to persistent-clean or persistent-dirty when attached via makePersistent (see 5.9 for details)] 5.9: Add the following rows to the last table in this section with headings: | method / current state | P-nontrans-dirty | detached-clean | detached-dirty | + | makePersistent with CopyOnAttach=false | unchanged | parameter: P- clean, returned: P-clean (same instance as parameter) | parameter: P- dirty, returned: P-dirty (same instance as parameter) | + | makePersistent with CopyOnAttach=false when an object with the same identity already exists in the L1 cache | unchanged | error | error | (this last row stipulates that usage of CopyOnAttach=false is only valid in cases where a new PersistenceManager is used for each call to makePersistent. Said another way, multiple calls to makePersistent with the same pc against the same pm will result in a JDOUserException. It is unknown / unspecified what implications this has on L2 caches... comments?) 12.6.7: A12.5.7-7: [These methods have no effect on parameter persistent instances already managed by this PersistenceManager unless the CopyOnAttach method is set to false, in which case detached parameter instances will be transitioned to P-dirty or P-clean per section 5.9] A12.6.7-1: [...] The return value for detached instances is the persistent instance corresponding to the detached instance. In the case of CopyOnAttach being set to false, the return value is the same object instance as the detached parameter instance, where the parameter has been transitioned from detached to P-dirty or P-clean per the rules in section 5.9 The return values for makePersistentAll methods correspond by position to the parameter instances. In the case of CopyOnAttach being set to false, the object instances in the collection returned by makePersistentAll must be the same object instances as found in the parameter collection, each having been transitioned to P-dirty or P-clean as appropriate per the rules in section 5.9 </proposed>  Regards, - Chris Chris Beams

The Palestinian Authority formally joined five global treaties at the United Nations.
The membership became official on Friday, the United Nations told the French news agency AFP.
The five treaties ban torture and racial discrimination and protect the rights of women, children and the disabled, according to the report.
The membership comes after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on April 2 signed 15 applications to join the U.N. conventions in retaliation for Israel's failure to release a final batch of Palestinian prisoners by March 29. The Palestinians had agreed to refrain from requesting international recognition as long as peace talks with Israel were ongoing.
In retaliation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israeli government officials to halt cooperation with their Palestinian counterparts.
The Palestinians on May 7 will formally join a treaty protecting children in conflict zones and on July 2 two agreements involving civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, according to AFP.

Groups - Frequently Asked Questions
- Is group therapy suitable for the difficulties I am facing?
- How might a group help me?
- Group therapy sounds interesting but the idea scares me. Does this rule me out?
- It's hard to imagine what a group would be like. Can you give me an idea?
- What is the group therapist's role?
- I'm worried that I might meet someone I know in the group. Is that a problem?
- Are there any eligibility criteria?
- What commitment is required from me?
- How do I go about joining a group?
This information is for any student who wants to find out more about student therapy groups or who may be considering joining one. If you decide to take things further, there will be an opportunity to talk in more depth when you meet the group therapist who run the groups.
Is group therapy suitable for the difficulties I am facing?
Therapy groups can help students with a wide variety of difficulties and problems ranging from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or just feeling stuck. Groups are particularly helpful for addressing interpersonal difficulties with, for example, family members, friends, in intimate relationships and in social groups. Many students join a group after having already had some psychological help at UCL or elsewhere.
How might a group help me?
Many students find the group a source of support as they come to realise that they are not alone with their problems. People discover their strengths as they find they can help, as well as be helped, by others. Each group member can learn from the number of different perspectives and personal experiences available within the group. Over time, greater awareness of oneself and others develop through group interaction. All these things can provide the basis for long term change in how one thinks, feels and behaves in life. Whilst at university and after, students spend a lot of time in peer groups of one kind or another and therefore student counselling groups can be a natural setting for gaining an understanding of one's problems and how to create change in one's life.
Group therapy sounds interesting but the idea scares me. Does this rule me out?
Not at all. The idea feels daunting to most people initially. Your individual appointment with the group therapist will help you work out whether your fears are likely to be overwhelming and whether they are balanced by some hope and interest in what a group can offer.
Back to top
It's hard to imagine what a group would be like. Can you give me an idea?
The groups meet weekly during term time in one of the therapy rooms at the Student Psychological Services. Each group meets for one-and-a-half hours at the same time each week. There is one early evening (5.15-6.45) and one daytime group (2.00-3.30) each Tuesday. There are a maximum of eight students in each group, a mixture of men and women, undergrads and postgrads, with a variety of problems.
We sit together in a circle of chairs. There is no agenda or structure for each meeting. People do not take turns. Group members are encouraged to put into words their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Usually common themes develop as one student's issues will set off thoughts and ideas in others. The focus shifts between talking about particular problems outside the group, problems in the past, to interpersonal issues in relation to the group and between group members.
Back to top
What is the group therapist's role?
It is the responsibility of the therapist to ensure the safe and therapeutic facilitation of the group. The main focus is on building safety and trust in the group. The therapist will also help students work through difficulties with other members, which do occur from time to time. The group therapists role may be more active or may take more of a back seat depending on the needs of a particular group or individual.
I'm worried that I might meet someone I know in the group. Is that a problem?
The group therapist tries to ensure that group members do not know each other within the wider university setting. Although group members often form close relationships during their time in the group, everyone makes a commitment not to develop friendships or intimate relationships outside the group while they are attending therapy. This is important for therapeutic safety, to avoid subgroups or breaching the confidentiality of the group setting, which is very important. However, inevitably students do bump into each other or see each other around the campus and group members are encouraged to bring such incidents back to the group for discussion.
Are there any eligibility criteria?
Some problems are not suitable for group treatment, but its best to talk this through with a therapist or the group therapist. You must be a student at UCL with at least 2-3 terms left before leaving university. This is because it takes time to settle in a group and most people need a year to benefit. Students can stay in the group for a maximum of six terms.
What commitment is required from me?
Joining a group is a commitment, with students needing to take responsibility for attending the group each week and being on time. Group therapy can be uncomfortable or challenging at times and sometimes leads to thoughts of dropping out or leaving. However, being able to talk about frustrations and stick with the group through such difficult times can be very beneficial.
How do I go about joining a group?
There are two main routes
a) If you are seeing a therapist already, please let them know that you are interested. Your therapist will let the group therapist know and you will be invited for a pre-group initial consultation.
b) If you are new to the psychological services you will need to fill in one of the Student Psychological Services registration forms (available from the Student Psychological Services, 3 Taviton Street or from the website, www.ucl.ac.uk/student-psychological-services/Registration). Please write on your registration form that you wish to be considered for group therapy.
In either case there may be a wait, depending on availability of places.
The Samaritans offer the following Services:
- Face to face support
-24/7 free phone helpline, 365 days a year

On Monday, January 14, the Glenbrook High School District 225 Board of Education reviewed a list of proposed new courses for the 2013-14 school year. The administration recommended the following new courses:
Glenbrook North:
Career and Life Skills
Sports Management 161 & 162: This course is in direct response to student interest and to address the expanding number of sports management programs available at the collegiate level. (One semester elective)
Fine Arts
Electronic Music 361: This course would be a continuation of the Electronic Music program and offers additional challenges. (One semester elective)
Social Studies
Sports and Society (summer school offering): This would be a curricular change to expand the current course and change credit from .025 to .50. The limited credit discouraged students from previously enrolling in the course.
World Languages
Hebrew 563 & 573
These courses would be part of the continued development of GBN's Modern Hebrew language program to meet the needs of current students. (Yearlong elective)
Glenbrook South:
Applied Technology
PLTW Introduction to Engineering Design (IED): The major focus of the IED course is to expose students to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards and technical documentation. (Yearlong elective)
PLTW Principles of Engineering: Students would be exposed to major concepts to better prepare them for a post-secondary engineering course of study. (Yearlong elective)
Honors News and Sports Broadcasting: Advanced students in News and Sports Broadcasting would act as directors of current programs broadcast over GBS TV and be responsible for the assignments of any student in the program (production work, live broadcasts, writing) as well as the management of novice learners. (Yearlong elective)
Social Studies
AP Microeconomics: In response to numerous AP Macroeconomics alumni and parents asking for an AP Microeconomics class, this course would combine both one-semester long courses to create a full-year course. (Yearlong elective)
World Languages
American Sign Language 363: ASL has been a 2-year language program for more than 14 years. Numerous students, parents and guidance staff have expressed interest in extending the sequence. (Yearlong elective)
The new courses proposed will have little to no impact on District resources. For a complete look at the New Courses Report as presented to the Board, please visit the District website (www.glenbrook225.org) Board of Education section. The Board is expected to take action on this agenda item at the next scheduled meeting on January 28.
"It is important that the District continues to offer a diversity of courses that encompass both the academic rigor and comprehensive educational experience our community expects of the Glenbrooks," said Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Rosanne Williamson.
District 225 is a learning community dedicated to students and committed to quality of thought, word, and deed.

"I loved the simplicity of it. I got many compliments. My only concerned was the writing in pink on the back could've been a bit darker. Besides that the paper quality was great and my photo came out beautifully."
"The invitations we ordered are wonderful! The quality of the paper is superior - Iwebelieve it will be a keepsake for many of our guests. We were extremely pleased with the color and quality of the picture we uploaded - and each invitation showed this unique quality. The printing, font, and colors are so professionally done - one would never know it was designed and submitted online. Also, it is important to point out how user friendly the website is and also how good the communication is following an order. We received an email advising of our order's review and even that our one special request had been completed. We will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future."
"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 11th birthday. She's too old now for the cutesy invites and she's not a frilly girl, so this was perfect. I'm very pleased with the quality."
"Some of the type on the cards I ordered was too small. When I called Tiny Prints, they redid the order and had it shipped to me in 3 days! The redesign was perfect, and I really appreciate how great their customer service is. My family has used Tiny Prints for the past five years, and I'm always so impressed with their work!"
"I've been a Tiny Prints customer for seven years now and have never been disappointed. Tiny Prints has provided a consistent and high quality method of capturing the most important moments and events in my daughter's life. No other online vendor offers the variety of options and personalization found at Tiny Prints. I highly recommend this vendor to all my family and friends...I have been doing so for 7 years!"

Bad news from Heathrow. If a third or even a fourth runway goes ahead, up to two million more people may expect to have their ears assaulted by the noise of planes landing and taking off. On your flight in, it all looks so peaceful down there, as you circle over London spotting the O2 dome and Buckingham Palace, until you realise that you're sitting in your seat amid a constant roar, and that the same roar is multiplied for those below for around 1,300 arrivals and departures daily.
How much more noise are we prepared to put up with as the price for a society based on an abundance of creature comforts and fast travel? That question has got steadily more urgent ever since the first crude and clanky steam engines started off the Industrial Revolution, back in the 18th century. Before then, the loudest continuous noises that we Westerners could create were actually the property of the Christian Church: the sound of church bells, or of the pipe-organ inside the church building. Johann Sebastian Bach was the worst noise pollution you could expect to suffer. Now that Mammon has taken over from God in making loud noises, perhaps it's time for us to see what God may have to offer in the way of silence.
Judaism and Christianity have not always been very appreciative of silence. When the ancient Israelites started thinking about their One God, they generally met him amid lots of noise: he brought Creation into being with words, he repeatedly spoke to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and he often emphasised what he had to say with a good deal of thunder and lightning (especially when he was feeling cross).
True, one prophet, Elijah, heard him as a "still small voice", but even there, some spoilsport biblical critics have suggested that originally the text read a "thunderous or crushing and roaring sound", until a scribe copied down the Hebrew characters wrongly and gave us that famous phrase about stillness. The Psalms often link silence to dumb idols, which are not a good thing, and most ancient folk were suspicious of silent prayer: after all, what have those who are silently praying got to hide? Similarly, the early Christians whom we meet in the letters of Paul of Tarsus were a noisy bunch, always crowding together to listen to sermons, or to shout out praises or songs — or indeed, to have a good quarrel. There are modern Christians like that.
What is there on the other side? There is Jesus. He picked up what you might call a "minority report" in the Hebrew Scripture (the Old Testament), which saw silence as holy. He identified with the character in the book of Isaiah called the "Suffering Servant", who was dumb when he was led to the slaughter. So Jesus was silent at significant points in his trial before he was crucified; he didn't seize the chance to grandstand at this moment of crisis. Before that, he had retreated from the adoring crowds into the wilderness, to wrestle with the presence of evil. Over the centuries Christians have noted his example, and fallen silent. When some early Christians left their native Syria to go trading in India, they found that the great religions there, Hinduism and Buddhism, had monks and monasteries. Syrians are famously experts in commerce, and monasticism was one of their imports into the Christian faith, back in the second century AD.
You won't find monastic life described in the Bible but it has become one of the most significant features of the Christian tradition. What it does is give us resources to contemplate the quietness of God, who as one of my former Oxford colleagues once said, "does not cough or mutter or shuffle his feet to reassure us that he is there". Silence is a good way to meet God, because thereby, he is gracious enough to put us on his own level. He does not demand that we define him, or necessarily promise to solve all our problems. But we can reach out to him when we have stopped being so intolerably specific, demanding answers and remedies and tidy definitions, caught up in our complicated, chattering society. One ancient philosopher, who spent a lot of time defining what God is not, ended up by describing God as "that yonder". I like that way of looking at the divine: within sight, but best met without words. You don't need to call out to attract God's attention.
One of the fascinating things about our noisy world is that very many of us now seek out silences once reserved for monks and nuns. Even people who haven't signed up to any checklist of Christian beliefs now go on retreats; they set out on treks to find holy places, which are all around us in this country if we start looking. Holy wells, like the monastic life, would struggle to find much justification in scripture, but the latest guide-book to them chronicles hundreds throughout England, Scotland and Wales. It's clear that they are now more visited and cherished for spiritual purposes than at any time since the 16th-century Protestant reformers did their best to eliminate them from the religious scene.
Yet actually you don't have to put on your hiking boots to find sacred silence. Just look for a church with a door open, and as long as a cheery welcoming person doesn't do their best to make you feel too welcome, you can sit on your own and think your thoughts. When you do, try not to be too negative about the bosses at Heathrow: they live in the same noisy world as you. But there would be no harm in reminding them of that.

Andres Hernandez, CEO of BIIS Solutions, shared valuable tips to help small businesses looking to improve their online reputation. Andres presented "Online Reputation: How to Manage Consumer Reviews" this week at a RefreshSD Meetup held at Qualcomm in San Diego.
Andres did an excellent job of involving us in the audience to share our suggestions during his presentation. What became clear from the business owners in the room—lots of web developers and marketers (like me) and others—is that online reputation is something you just have to stay on top of.
Today's consumers are searching online for opinions of others. According to Mashable, for local small businesses, directory websites like Yelp are a necessity—not an option. (See Mashable's great post here.)
Managing your online reputation and consumer reviews can be as easy as using Google Alerts to determine when you're reviewed and claiming your site on Kudzu®, Urbanspoon and others. (I've personally found excellent restaurants using reviews at online directory listing website Urbanspoon.com)
Andres puts Yelp's monthly visitors at 32 million and a quick check on Alexa.com (today) ranks it as the 49th site in the US. Though from this chart I just pulled from Alexa.com, both Urbanspoon and Kudzu visitors are very engaged based on the number of Pageviews per User!
Comparison of Daily pageviews per user for: Yelp.com, Kudzu.com & Urbanspoon.com. Screen shot taken August 15, 2010 on Alexa.com. Link I used is here.
Seems hard for local small businesses to not participate in this kind of popularity.
Here are my favorite tips Andres Hernandez shared in his presentation.
- The hands-down best way to get online customer reviews is to ask for them! Check out Kudzu's helpful page for more info.
- Email your customer, thanking them for their business and ask for a review. If email doesn't work, the second best way is to send a personal letter.
- Best time to ask your customers for a review is at the end of a project.
- A small local business should make sure its information is accurate and up-to-date on Yelp, Kudzu and others. (Details like address, phone number, hours, etc.)
- Best way to make sure your customers follow through and post a review for your business? Make your review request as simple as possible. Andres suggests sending your customer a link to the exact website page where you'd like them to post a review.
- Check out Google Places and decide if you want to be listed there.
Here's a cool template from BIIS Solutions website that you can follow to create an email asking your customers for a review.

Hello there, change the number 60 to 70,000 customer hehehehe. Great work.
Thank you for the reminder! We'll update the numbers soon!
Can I design each page differently? ex. can one be light, one dark; one full-width, one boxed? I want to gamify a course and need my site to cover a wide variety of content. Thanks so much for your help!
Yes one can be full width or boxed, that is a per page or post choice, as well as many other options. But the light and dark skin is different, that is a site wide choice. You can however change the header bkgd, main content background or boxed background per page or post.
Thank you!
You are most welcome
See this post in our knowledgebase, you can use a separator shortcode for page content, or if its the bottom or top of it, there is a page option. I think you need #2, http://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/how-to-add-or-reduce-space/

I am asking if I as a website owner, can I invite other members to write their blogs? And they can also manage their blogs (edit/delete/add) on their customised member section page? The other members (not bloggers) can follow the bloggers as the fan?
Wordpress doe allow you to make user accounts with different privileges. Check out the info in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities There are also plugins out there that allow you to take it further or offer more features than what is built into Wordpress.
How do i change the size of featured picture in tablet and mobile. It looks weird in "medium" type…..... thanks
the featured picture float to the top instead of left on tablet or mobile..
my site is http://hgzoo.com
You can change the featured image size per post in the post options box, look for featured image width or height option. However that will probably not be a good solution for a specific tablet device. The responsive framework will change based on screen size, your tablet size must not be wide enough to allow the image and title/excerpt to fit side by side so it will drop it to the next line. You can turn off responsive framework and use the fixed desktop layout for all screens and devices. Go to general tab in theme options and turn it off.
But we can take a deeper look at this and determine for certain if you signup and post on our support forum. Be sure to include the device name and size in your forum thread.

Congratulations, 70k purchases When will you release new versions, 3.5, 3.6…, 4.0?
Thank you.
Kind regards
Thank you Gregorv! Nice to hear from you
v3.5 is coming in a few weeks and is our first major release on our road to v4.
You can stay up to date with our updates on our support forum, look for the Avada Update sticky thread.
Check the following link that shows the basic SEO report for your demo. Can you please check the 'Code To Text Ratio' section on this page. You have got good enough content on this page, however your content is 5.68% of the code that has been used. Why is your code ratio so high, how can this be controlled, any suggestion.
[link removed]
First off those test are not always accurate or tell the full story. With that being said, that is our main demo page which is used to show as many features as possible, like a marketing page. This is a unique topic and many very opinionated takes on the right way. Feel free to email us from our profile page to speak with our developer in depth if you have further questions. BTW, the link was removed in your post due to the comment rules here.http://themeforest.net/user/ThemeFusion
I'm interested in purchasing Avada WP theme. Is there a list of plugins that work or don't work with this theme?
Also, although I'm sure this question has been asked before… When you view the "live preview" all the pages you see, are they avail in the demo pages to work with so that one doesn't have to start with a blank page? What about the images, are the background images included in the theme? Thanks.
We do not have a complete list of plugins that do or do not work. But you should not have an issue with that, we obviously cannot guarantee that every plugin works with the theme, no theme can do that. But the vast majority that are coded properly will work. If there ever is a plugin issue, you can post on our forum about it and if its theme related we will make adjustments where needed and when possible.
Yes you can import our demo content. We have a built in demo content importer, directly in theme options on the General tab. And its even better than XML files because its imports everything, not just pages and posts. It gives you pages, posts, sliders, widgets, sidebars, theme options and more.
If you want the rev sliders and woo products, make sure to have both of those plugins active when importing.
Check it out! And here is the info from our docs, http://theme-fusion.com/avada-doc/demo-content-info/import-xml-file/
I'm confused….I hear, and have heard talk of the great 4.0 update, and then I hear you talk of the 3.5 update just weeks or months away? Are you simply throwing comments out to keep customers interested, or do you have an actual plan? Are you soon going to start talking of the great features coming in the 5.0 release? Please, just keep it real. Would love to see some style updating the the theme.
Hey There
Yes of course we have a plan! And you can read about it on our support forum. What benefit would we give by just throwing comments out? Or not "keeping it real" as you put it? That would make zero sense, and certainly not something we would do. We are professionals here, and take our job very seriously and keep our users up to date.
Any of our users can stay up to date with the progress and news on our support forum, which is where have always directed people.
The short story of it is, we have broken up the 4.0 update into a few smaller updates for a few important reasons. v3.5 is the first major update in that process that will lead up to v4 as that is the correct version numbering
Stay up to date with all our other users on our support forum, there is a sticky thread on it, and we are also posting up a detailed post about what it will include about a week before it releases.
Happy Memorial Day by the way Hope you enjoy the holiday!

1. I created the portfolio page, but it displays on 10 items per page. How do I set it so that it displays all items on one page?
2. How do I change color for mouse hover on Menu?
1. Go to theme options > portfolio tab and you can set the number of portfolio items per page there. Or if using the recent work shortcode, you can choose directly in the shortcode how many posts show per page.
2. The link color can be controlled in theme options on the styling tab. Look for this option: http://d.pr/i/qFVs

Please let me admit that I partly agree with what "bmacstudio" wrote above here.
What I mainly disagree with the current Avada version is the anachronistic width of 940px.
Moreover, the secondary sidebar should be a basic element in such a basic theme, the page composer is also long awaited and a cleaner code cannot be disregareded.
The thing is, every week we read "some weeks", and it is obvious that people have expectations.
If the road to 4.0 has to go through a series of steps, starting from 3.5, it is reasonable not to expect 4.0 any earlier than 2015, and keep working on 940px when most themes now run at 1100 / 1200px.
Thank you for your attention.
Thanks for your feedback! The current site width is 940px, that is how it was originally designed. Yes, we are adding the ability to widen the site to the now more standard 1170px, and possible even wider. When we do that, we are also adding the ability for dual sidebars.
Both of those features are absolutely coming in a future update and will be done before the v4 release. We cannot give you an exact date for that, we have learned from the past that its best to only give out what is coming in our next update, and they are not included in those, but will be in one of the two following that.
The issue with all of this is, developing and making changes to a theme of this size takes a lot of time and care and testing. We above all else, want the changes done before anyone, trust us when we say that. This is our product and we take very good care of it. In development work, it is very difficult to give out release dates.
I do not know any theme developer that actually gives out release dates. We have now learned from the past and do not necessarily do that anymore. Inevitably a date will be missed, or a feature may need to be left out due to technical or time reasons, and then everyone gets upset about it. It is a no win situation. So when users ask, I give my best estimate at that time because that is the most accurate.
Currently we are in final stages of testing for v3.5, which means it is only a few weeks off. However, any date we give is purely an estimation. What happens if an issue arises during testing that requires several items to be changed? Or during testing we realize that a new feature may not work for legacy users? Or if one of our developers get sick or an emergency happens? There are so many reasons why it can be delayed, it is the nature of development work and the main reason why authors or software developers do not give out release dates, or if they do, they are very estimated and will most likely change 90% of the time. The last thing we want to do is rush the process, that only leads to a poor product and something we or our users do not want us to do.
Trust me when I say that we are doing everything we can every single day to get updates released, and continue our support for our users. We have a team of 7 that work daily on it all, it is not a matter of being understaffed, its just the nature of development work.
What we can tell you is that all of that is coming. And no the road to v4 will not take until 2015.
The best thing to do is subscribe to the Avada Update sticky thread on our support forum. That is where we keep users up to date, we are as open about it as we can be and will be posting all the details of v3.5 about a week before its release.
Thanks again! I hope this helps clear some of it up
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed answer. I think all readers will appreciate that.
You are most welcome And we apologize for any confusion that comments may have caused. A detailed reply like this was needed, and we should of posted it sooner.
We certainly know how frustrating it can be to be waiting for a feature or update that you need and not know exactly when it is coming, or for it to be delayed. Those are things we try to avoid but have not been fully successful all the time. But we live and we learn!
We are very excited about 3.5, and 3.6. Those two updates will compromise about 80-90% of the v4 update. Check out the update thread on our forum, it has more info and I'll also be posting up specific details pertaining to v3.5 in the next 2-4 days.

I agree with numbernine comment about the Avada theme width.
Avada is an awesome theme but this "width thing" is what bothers me.
I purchased other WP themes from other authors, and most of themes I purchased offer in their theme settings an option to simply enter my own custom page width in pixels …. and I can have any width I want …. without being limited to one or two width options.
Also, while talking about the width … it would be GREAT if Avada would offer more column options …
Right now there are maximum of 4 columns offered …. In current limited page width these 4 columns might be OK …. however if you increase the page width, than it should be available in 5 and 6 columns also.
In particular because Avada offers a 100% width option, and 4 columns give you very limited options in 100% page width.
If you can implement this in future updates this would make Avada even more awesome…
Hey Mike!
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes we totally agree, which is why we stated we are adding width options in the future. When we add width options, we will also add more column options and dual sidebars. Adding more columns and dual sidebars only makes sense with a wider width, so all of that will be done at the same time. Although I do see your point about a 100% width template in the current version. The problem though is that would be the only template that it would work best for which will cause confusion among users.
But never fear, we are widening the site width and will allow the user to choose what it is, overall site width, content width and sidebar widths.
I would suggest subscribing to our update sticky thread on our forum so you can stay up to date with the latest news and info we put out.
Thanks again!
Well, I can't wait for new update … but I know you guys will do it right …. like always …
There is a reason why Avada is #1 … and that reason is … an amazing team of developers, designers and support standing behind Avada theme … keep the good job guys ….
Thanks Mike, we appreciate that
We're already in discussion about how best to approach this, and are excited to get the final results.
Thanks again!
When using the boxed version, is it possible to have a fullscreen video running in the background?
Thanks for your reply and keep up the great work!
Hmmm not at this time, the bkgd for boxed or regular mode is only for images. Great idea though, and I can definitely see us offering that in the future.
Hi -
Quick question – on resolution at iPad portrait (768×1024) and below – I'm only getting one column of products showing -
Is there an option somewhere for this? It looks a bit weird with only 1 narrow column
Screenshot here for you – http://screencast.com/t/rUBi9XcQ8oq
Thanks, Darren
Hey Darren,
Yes go to theme options > general and use the "fixed mode for ipad portrait" and it will give you the full desktop view on that ipad size.
Hi – I just updated that option, but it still looks the same at 768×1024 – is there anything else that needs changing?http://screencast.com/t/rhG3uYeC2
Have you cleared your browser cache? Are you using a cache plugin also? Make sure all of that is emptied and off.
Also if its not working for you, it could be due to a plugin, or old version or customization, etc. We can take a look on our support forum. Signup and post a new topic there with ten details.

Hi -
Just bought the theme – but didn't realise that it has no 'Visual Composer' type interface -
I see in a previous comment I think that it is planned – any ideas on how long / or will this work with Visual Composer Plugin?
Thanks Darren.
Hey Darren,
Yes we are building our own and it will release with v3.6. We cannot give a date out for when that will be done, but it will come sometime after v3.5 which is due in a few weeks.
You can stay up to date with this type of news on our support forum, there is an Avada Update sticky thread there.

Hello, i've been using avada for quite some time now. The feeling of this theme is just insane, although i have just 1 or 2 suggestions. Can you please let us custumize the color of the header (not only white/black).
And the other one that I really would enjoy is if you could let us use carousel sliders for normal posts/pages not just for recent work/clients, because you see we are not all designers and sometimes we use avada (mutli-purpose) for blogging and/or other posts. So if you take a look into carousel sliders page you can imagine the possibilities if we can use them for posts and pages.
Please take a time to consider this suggestion of mine! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comments
You can already change the color of the header and every other part of the site. Go to styling tab in theme options, you can change the header background color to any color, as well as other sections there.
Yes I agree about the carousels. Although, right now they can be used on port posts, client logos, or for regular images on any page. And we do have plans to allow our recent posts shortcode to use the same thing, that will come sometime in the future but with an unexpected date. But the good news is, it is on our list.
Thanks for the comments!
Is there any way to change the page title bar text from a h1 tag to a h2 tag using custom css or other method?
Appreciate any help,
Thanks in advance,
Hey MDB,
It would take some code customization. It is H1 for SEO purposes. So if you are just wanting to change the size of the page title text, then you can do that with this theme option on the typography tab: http://d.pr/i/xm8h
If you do want to change it to an H2 though, signup and post on our support forum and our support team may be able to assist you with that.

Hi, is it possible to make sticky menu exactly same as the primary navigation? I would like to keep logo size, padding size etc… and disable the animation. Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately that is not possible out of the box, there are many technical reasons why we set it up like that. However it can be done, but it will require some nifty development work.

Become a Suns Host Family
March 5, 2013 4:08 AM ET
The Suns are seeking host families for the 2013 season. This community program offers a unique opportunity for families to provide a safe, comfortable home for players throughout their time in Hagerstown. There are several different ways to participate in the program, including full-season hosting and short-term hosting.
Hosting a Suns player is a great opportunity! As a host family, you provide a player a "home away from home." By hosting a player, you give that player, who is otherwise many miles away from his home environment and loved ones, a sense of home during the course of a long season. It is something that has proven to be a very rewarding experience for both players and host families.
During the summer, you get an inside look at Minor League Baseball and have an incredible chance to help a young man follow his dream to make it to the big leagues. Players are very appreciative of the willingness of host families to open their homes and, in a way, adopt them into their families. Most players and host families form bonds with each other that last well beyond the end of the season.
Certainly it is a commitment to open your home for an entire season. It is the Suns goal to match prospective host families with a player or players who will fit in well with the household. Host families are more than welcome to set certain parameters regarding the living environment, rules and certain expectations that must be met. After all, it is still your home.
For more information regarding hosting, please contact Lori Kendall at 301-791-6266 ext. 103 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
