Despite lingering controversy over the new syllabus, teachers said the exams were sticking closely to the philosophy of making the English more relevant to students.
The head of English at Terrigal High School, Sally Conn, said the Advanced English question on comparing texts "was really nice for modern teenagers".
Her class had studied Jane Austen's Emma and Amy Heckerling's movie, Clueless, and was asked to compare the values in Austen's 19th century world and those of the 1995 film.
Mrs Conn, who has taught English for 25 years, is a fan of the new syllabus, which other teachers claim has a penchant for post-modernism.
"The whole point of the module is that by relating to Clueless, the students can then respond better to Emma. So the new resonates with the old," she said.
Sydney Boys High student Jordan Rastrick said the Advanced English paper was "within expectations" apart from a "vague" question where he used the satirical television program Frontline as his "text".
He is sceptical of the syllabus and unsure what benefits school pupils gain from "the Marxist and Freudian interpretation of poetry".
"The syllabus is based on university academic trends of the analysis of literature. There's a lot of jargon," he said.
Frankie Fastrack confounded the 4756 students sitting the Design and Technology paper yesterday. The exam counts for 40 per cent of the student's HSC, with an already completed major work worth 60 per cent.
Michele McDonald, head teacher of Technology and Applied Studies at Coffs Harbour's John Paul College, said the bulk of the paper was fair and varied but Frankie and his virtual reality playstation rattled students.
"It was very difficult. They were asked to comment on this far-out new thing that obviously doesn't exist," she said.
To prepare for this section, students would have usually studied a product that was known to them, not a technological concept, she said.

April 27, 2003
PHILADELPHIA -- Tennessee closed the 109th Penn Relays at Franklin Field Saturday with a solid performance in a loaded 4x800m relay field. Behind the running of Frank Francois, Kenny Schappert, Joakim Daun and Marc Sylvester, Tennessee finished fourth with a time of 7:21.91 behind only Arkansas, Kentucky and Georgetown, all talented middle-distance schools.
The Philadelphia weather alternated between merely dreary and dreadful with rain and chilly winds on much of the meet's final day. However, the beloved meet still drew 39,783 on the final day, the fourth-largest crowd ever. Poor weather or not, the Penn Relays remains a spectacle as the "City of Brotherly Love" makes room for everyone. It's the only meet in America where one can watch the world's fastest man Tim Montgomery and the Special Olympics 4x100m relay on the same day. The Penn Relays retain staying power because at no other meet can fans watch Philadelphia elementary fourth graders run the shuttle hurdle relay and see 101-year-old phenom Everett Hosack of Over the Hill Track Club run the master's 100m dash, albeit finishing last in 55.73 to winner and 78-year-old youngster Mel Larson's impressive 14.45 time, but still getting the same thunderous applause showered upon Team USA.
Tennessee's 4x800m relay time of 7:21.91 shaved more than six seconds off its
previous season-best winner at the Sea Ray Relays. Perhaps leadoff man
Francois' leg was the most noteworthy. Francois started off a bit slow,
struggling in 11th with one of his two laps in the books. However, Francois
turned on the jets with 250 meters to go, passing people continuously to hand
off the baton to Schappert in third. Schappert ran a solid leg, his relay
lifetime best, to hand off the baton to third leg Daun in fourth. Daun ran a
steady leg and handed off the baton to anchor Sylvester in fifth place. After
his rousing anchor leg to capture the sprint medley relay Friday night,
Sylvester passed one team to move the Vols to a fourth-place finish in the
4x800m relay.
"I didn't get out as well as I wanted to," Francois said. "I wanted to get out and run with the leaders. The leadoff leg at Penn is always crazy with some pushing, shoving and bumping. I was feeling good with 300 meters to go. I made a move on the outside and tried to pass as many people as I could. I know Kenny had a relay PR. Joakim had a great leg. Unfortunately, we were just a little out of the race when Marc got the baton. He did everything he could and ran a great split. Overall, it was a pretty good finish, but we have plenty of room to improve."
In the 100m dash finals, Sean Lambert finished third with a 10.57 time. Teammate Jonathan Wade followed tied for sixth in 10.62.
Damond Campbell opened the day's slate with a 53.71 time to place 33rd in the 400m hurdles. While the Clarksville native has run faster this sesaon, he easily won the seventh section. Tennessee scratched its 4xMile relay and Dwayne Bell Jr. in the 400m hurdles. Meanwhile, Rondell Mershon passed on the triple jump after finding himself not up to full speed with a slight leg injury.
However, the professionals in the USA vs. the World competition sent the biggest jolt of electricity through the crowd. Hundreds of Jamaican flags waving in the rain-soaked stands at Franklin Field counterbalanced with chants of "USA" created an exciting atmosphere as some of the world's best sprinters/relay competitors lined up against each other in what could be a preview of the 2004 Olympic Games.
Former Vol Justin Gatlin dazzled the home crowd by leading his quartet to victories in the USA vs. the World 4x100m and 4x200m relays. Running for the USA Red squad (Jon Drummond, Gatlin, Coby Miller, Tim Montgomery), Gatlin ran the best legs for both relays in his first outdoor meet as a professional. In the 4x100m relay, Gatlin's USA Red foursome clocked in at 38.62 to defeat runner-up USA Blue by .05 of a second. Running the second leg, Gatlin made up a slight deficit by running down the leader on the west straightaway with feet-flashing fury. Gatlin established a lead on the second leg that USA Red would not relinquish.
Gatlin's performance anchoring the USA Red's 4x200m relay to a victory in a speedy 1:19.16 time, just .05 of a second off the Penn Relay record set in 1992, offered more proof. The fact that Gatlin has picked up a step since his former teammates last saw him on Tennessee's Hallowed Hill is undeniable and certainly a terrifying proposition for anyone lining up in the lane beside him. After legs by USA Red team members Shawn Crawford, Ramon Clay and Darvis Patton, Gatlin took the baton on the last 200m leg with a fraction of a lead. The margin didn't remain a fraction for long as Gatlin opened up about a 15-20 meter lead when he broke the tape. Gatlin's strong anchor leg led the USA Red team to a 2.27-second victory margin against the USA Blue team, an eternity in that race in professional track and field.
Saturday's action bookends the 109th Penn Relays, but Tennessee's weekend work is not yet done. The Volunteers return to campus Sunday to host the Knoxville Invitational. Admission is free.

Borla Install Tips
Just got my new Atak from Borla and wondered if anyone has any installation tips. I plan on installing it with my brother. What is the best tool to cut the factory exhaust off?
Sawzall, and make sure you have the correct clamps to put in the atak unless you are welding it. And finally double check the clearance between the exhaust and the crossbar right above it i had to heat mine and bend it down because it was hitting when i went over bumps in the road....
Re: Borla Install Tips
The clamps provided should be the correct ones, right? Were you able to the job yourself or did you need an extra pair of hands to hold everything in place while cutting and when installing the new one?
Problem with mine was they didnt give me the clamps....and if you do have all the correct parts, its pretty much a one man job
Re: Borla Install Tips
Finally installed. I was going to do it over the weekend but never got around to it so I took it to Midas. They did it for me in 30 min for $45. I think the aggravation I would have gone through was worth the money to have it installed for me. It looks an sound great.

A Minute With: Neil Patrick Harris about "Smurfs"
By Iain Blair
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Neil Patrick Harris may be the most versatile star in showbiz. The Emmy-award winner can sing and dance, perform voice-overs, host award shows, and still finds to act in the TV show "How I Met Your Mother."
Now, he's working with little people in family film "The Smurfs," which mixes live-action characters with the blue animated creatures made famous in the cartoons.
The film hits theaters Friday with Harris playing a marketing executive whose life and career are thrown into chaos when the Smurfs magically appear in his New York apartment.
Harris spoke to Reuters about his outrageous behavior in the "Harold and Kumar" movies and how he avoided the traps of Hollywood stardom as a child actor.
Q: Were you a Smurfs fan as a kid?
A: "I watched the cartoons, but I wasn't a rabid fan like a lot of people, and I've been wildly surprised at how many people I know are secret Smurf freaks. They all wanted to know, did I have to be painted blue? And which Smurf am I playing? So I had to keep explaining, I'm not a Smurf in the movie."
Q: How hard was it acting with creatures that don't exist?
A: "It was hard, especially at first. But I'm a very technical actor and I love all the stuff like green screen. But then you don't know how far to push it physically. I found the bigger you go the better -- but that's so counter-intuitive when you're on stage with no one there. It seems so silly, making all these faces to nobody, but later when you watch it with the Smurfs animated in, it makes perfect sense." Continued...

Three dead in aircraft fire
Three people were killed today and dozens injured when an aircraft burst into flames before take-off on a runway at an airport in Russia's Far North, officials said.
The Tupolev plane with 116 passengers and eight crew on board had been due to fly from the city of Surgut in the Far North of Russia's Urals region to Moscow.
Reports said the plane completely burned in the accident, the latest deadly incident to hit the Russian aviation industry.
The region's emergencies ministry said three people had been killed, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported. The Interfax news agency quoted local prosecutors as saying that a child was among the three dead.
A spokesman for the emergencies ministry told ITAR-TASS that at least 46 people had also been injured.
The plane had started burning while taxiing on the runway at Surgut ahead of take-off, the investigative committee of prosecutors said in a statement.
"The emergency services were unable to put out the fire and there was an explosion. The passengers and members of the crew were evacuated before the explosion."
Russian news agencies named the airline as regional carrier Kogalymavia, also known as Kolavia.
The first images from the scene showed the wreckage of the plane slumped on the runway with a huge cloud of white smoke billowing from an engine.
Initial reports said that one of the plane's engines caught fire in the air and it made an emergency landing but subsequently officials said that the incident had taken place before take-off on the runway.
"There was a thick, black smoke and people started to panic. They were literally stepping on each other's heads," said Sergei Grigoriyev, a singer with popular Russian rock group Na-Na who were on the plane.
"I saw my life flash before me," he said according to ITAR-TASS.
The investigative committee said that a criminal probe had been opened into a possible violation of air transport security rules.
Transport Minister Igor Levitin said it was not clear what had caused the accident.
"The plane was taxiing on the runway and preparing for take-off," he said according to the Interfax news agency. "The specialists do not understand what sparked the fire."
Earlier this month, a plane with 169 people on board rolled off the runway at Moscow's Domodedovo airport on landing and broke into three pieces, killing two and injuring more than 80.
In September, a Russian Tupolev plane carrying 81 people made a "miracle" crash landing at a deserted air strip deep in the Siberian taiga after a complete mid-flight power failure.

(noob) attic ventalation
I would like to say hi and I am new here. I am a member on other forums and know how annoying it can be when a noob starts with a stupid question. I am an avid DIYer and have found some helpful info on this site. i did search for my answer but could not find it so....
Here is my situation, I have a very very hot attic, I live in Maryland just outside DC. I have a 3 level town home. The floor of the attic is going to be ruffly 27 x 17ish (i am close) I have a suffit and ridge vent system. I have replaced the soffit and facia in the rear of the home when we first purchased it. I installed the same number of vents that were there before. I know that my soffit vents are not blocked. The ridge vent is probably 3/4 of the length of the house. It gets well above 120 degrees in the attic, and makes it hard to keep the upper level of my home comfortable.
I have read on here and from other sources that it is taboo to add fan (electric or solar) when there is a ridge vent. Is this a firm rule? Do I need to add more soffit vents? I know that a gable vent is out of the question cause I have a center unit. Should I just sell my house? Or maybe I should sleep in the basement? I am open to all suggestions, thanks for your time
I will post pics as soon as i figure out how to
4 Attachment(s)
sorry for the weird cropping but i had to do it so i could upload the pics
our lovely birch tree is in the way of some better pics
From hot, what is the average temperature and humidity levels in there? You really need some kind of monitoring device up there to allow you to see the temps, than just go up there and feel the temp with your body.
I use a Radioshack Weather Forecaster with remote sensors, so that I can see my attic temp at any time. Before we installed our power roof vent, it would get up to over 100 easily on a hot day. The warmest I have seen it get up there now in ours, is 98, then within a couple of hours it cools down below 90 and continues to drop after the sun goes down. Only reason we installed one, is because our attic has poor ventilation, because it is a older home.
With yours, I would be checking to make sure that there is no insulation material blocking the soffit areas, and that the ridge vent has had the sheathing cut underneath to allow it to work properly. Also, there should be enough insulating material across the ceiling area, vents, electrical entrance points sealed in the attic space. Make sure that bath vents have a flapper to not allow outside air to enter the home when the fan is not running, along with not allowing Stack Effect. That right there can cause the upper living area to become warm, along with improper HVAC returns from the bedrooms and hallways in the home for all floors, including basement.
I dont know exact temps in there, but upon entering the attic i will sweat buckets in less than a minute, and we have not even hit our highs around here. I like the idea of the remote thermo and remote attic fan could be effective for monitoring whats going on. so do you have a power attic fan and a ridge vent? I do need to take a good look at my bathroom fan it sucks and not in a good way, It doesn't go all the way out the roof and never looked right to me. I will take more pics. The soffit areas are clear of insulation, and there is about 7-8 inchs of blown in insulation and the holes around the lights have been addressed. Can you describe how the ridge vent sheathing should be cut? Is it easy to see from inside or do I need to get on the roof?
Attic venting is primarily to remove moisture. If the upper floor is getting too hot, you have inadequate insulation. Start looking into methods to add insulation.
I have the standard metal vents along the ridge line, not a ridge vent, and the power vent was just added this past October, due to air temps up there can get around 130 farenheit. If it is 80 degrees with 30% humidity up there, yes you can start sweating. It happened when I was up there putting in the electrical for the fan, this March.
If you do a search on here, you can find some recent posts & threads regarding attic venting. The rights and wrongs. Even with convection venting, it can still stay warm up there, even though in theory it is supposed to be at the same temp as it would if you were outside standing on a platform at the same height.
The sheathing should be cut, to allow for a clear path for the air to vent. That said, it should not be removed to the point that the ridge vent material barely covers the cut edges.
I missed the OP's 2nd post. But 7"-8"may not be adequate or there may be installation mistakes.
my hvac is ok but old according to the tech (close friend). UV film is another good idea, i noticed how hot the attic was this weekend while installing wiring for new ceiling fans. I refuse to sweat in my bed room this summer. I don't want the window ac unit that my neighbors use. I realize that my upper level is going to be warmer than my basement, but i don't think my attic should be any where near as hot as it is.
my home inspector said the insulation was enough but if i noticed a problem add more. In the winter my bedroom is nice and warm also. My issue is that it was over 100 in my attic when it was 72ish outside
more insulation wouldn't hurt
100 is fine, 130 is not. Depends on where you live, and average temps you get during warm days. For your hvac system, how are the returns laid out on the two floors? Can you post a drawing of the vents and returns, along with model# of the furnace & ac or heat pump.
let me see if i can paint this for you... Its a heat pump
inside- bryant 1/4 hp model 517en024010
outside- lennox hp29-018-6p
upper level- 5 vents, 4 on the outer corners of the house, 1 in the bathroom all on the floor, 1 large return in the middle of the floor plan on the wall up towards the ceiling
main level- 4 vents, 3 on the outer corner, 1 close to the other corner (counter tops in the way) 1 return towards the middle of the floor plan on the wall colse to the floor
basement- 2 vents on ceiling no returns (why it never gets warm, don't care)
i think i am getting staining on my ceilings from humidity :(, i cant see any leaks from the roof. The house was built in 83 but the shingles and wood sheeting have been replaced in the last 5-10 years. I bought a foreclosure so the history is a mystery.....

Hi George / Greg,
This is without doubt the one thread that has summed up my entire 2 months search for the ultimate detailing heaven. You guys have been amazingly
(pun) in your tips and replies which have left me reading ALL 17 pages without pauses. Your advizes are clear, precise and most importantly MAKES ALOT OF SENSE for newbies to detailing like me.
I have many questions so please bear with me:
Car: 4 months old Honda Civic - Black
Condition: 2 professional wax/polish (Zaino Bros & Marine Teflon Wax). Currently with patches of swirls here and there that is causing me alot of stress.
Location: Singapore
Climate: Hot & Humid
Additional: Rain quite often
Detail Habits: Self by Hand. Wash 4-5 days with water - Dry with Microfibre Cloth. Occasional Quick-Detail Spray.
Facilities: I live in an apt block and have no access to hose water / electricity.
I regularly clean my car given the restricted access to facilities hence looking for the best way to do with what I've got and obtain maximum results.
Upon reading your informative guides, I've decided to go with:
Wash + Klase AIO + HGSG + P21S Concour Carnauba Wax (All done by hand)
My questions for the above are:
(1) Is the above process sufficient for a deep shine look?
(2) What additional tips would you recommend.
(3) Between each process, what is the waiting time as I've read from other posts that it should be around 12hrs? Are there other alternatives? My carpark is a common area hence I would prefer to finish everything all at one go.
(4) I read that natural carnauba wax don't work well in humid/hot conditions. What is your take?
(5) I often read about the types of cloths to be used. Maybe you can enlighten us on how to maintain the cloths because I believe it is logical we clean it in a proper manner to prevent uneccessary issues.
(6) I intend to buy the above products (and others as well) from you. Do you ship to Singapore?

Accused kitten killer sees plea agreement rejected by Pueblo judge
PUEBLO, Colo. - A Pueblo district judge has rejected a plea agreement for a Pueblo West man accused of killing a kitten.
District Judge Victor Reyes made the order from the bench during a setting hearing this morning, setting a trial date in June for Robert Heckmann.
Heckmann, 25, was arrested in January for allegedly trying to drown, then strangle a 12-week-old kitten, filming the incident and sending the video to his then-girlfriend.
Heckmann is facing a charge of aggravated animal cruelty and a potential prison sentence of up to 18 months.
His plea agreement would have capped his sentence to probation and left the terms and length up to Reyes.
Heckmann's two-day trial is set for June 10. He is scheduled to be back before Reyes next month to set possible motions in the trial.
In an exclusive interview on March 13, 2014, Heckmann told KRDO NewsChannel 13 there were other people involved who have not been prosecuted. Click here to watch that report.

Katie Holmes: Godiva Girl

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Katie Holmes showed up at the Godiva Boutique at Rockefeller Center in New York City yesterday (January 31).
The "Mad Money" starlet was in the house to unveil the Godiva Share the Love Sweepstakes, though she also treated herself to a few delicious samples.
And though Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week is just around the corner, Katie won't be bringing her Holmes and Yang wares to the runway.
A press release from the organization stated, 'Katie Holmes will be sitting out next month's New York Fashion Week." Oh well, maybe this fall!

Apple co-founder and chief executive is not having a report in the Wall Street Journal that the company's directors have been in talks with recruiters to eventually find his successor.
The WSJ, citing the usual "people familiar with the matter," wrote on Wednesday that "some members of Apple Inc.'s board have discussed CEO succession with executive recruiters and at least one head of a high-profile technology company."
(Also see: Survey: Two-thirds of companies irresponsible about CEO succession)
However, according to the article, Jobs was questioned about the talks and responded to the WSJ via email with, "I think it's hogwash."
Which, it's worth pointing out, isn't an outright dismissal.
The idea of implementing a CEO succession plan has been a constant topic for Apple since at least January, when Jobs -- who has a history of pancreatic cancer and other serious health problems -- took an indefinite medical leave of absence. It wasn't his first medical leave, either.
There are those -- myself included -- who believe that a board of directors has a responsibility to at least create a process or plan by which it can begin identifying potential successors to a company's chief executive. It's called being prepared for the inevitable.
This isn't to say that I think Jobs definitely won't be returning to his full-time job running Apple any time soon, if ever. I can't see into the future.
But neither can Apple's board, which is exactly the point. When you don't know what's going to happen, you prepare for contingencies. That's what responsible directors do.
The problem, of course, is that "board members have been hand-picked by Mr. Jobs," as the WSJ notes. There's an allegiance there, not to mention an aversion to rattling Wall Street with any actions that might suggest the person most responsible for Apple's spectacular success soon may no longer be part of the picture.
While the company in February rejected a proposal by some shareholders that it create and make public a CEO succession plan, I'm guessing they've addressed the topic in private.
Indeed, one of the WSJ's anonymous sources reportedly said directors have discussed succession repeatedly (without Jobs around) over the past dozen years. Whether it's ever gone beyond casual "we really should think about this" talk is anyone's guess, since the newspaper's source said "everybody in the room is sworn to secrecy."
Apple's continued string of spectacular quarters and record high stock price make it tempting for directors and investors to put the succession issue on the back burner. But it's not going away, no matter how many iPhones and iPads the company sells.

: Where to go from here?
I've been CG for a couple months now. I've determined hair properties already. I have porous highlighted hair. It is medium length and thickness, it is not a fan of protein so I limit that.
I typically use the ice queen method to was. I cowash with TJs TTT conditioner and then RO tresemee naturals (this was on the advice of some f the other girls on the general discussions board and it works well). I add some tresemee as LI, then scrunch in KCCC or Shea moisture coconut soufflé stuff. Then air dry some, and diffuse some.
I seal with grape seed oil. In there, too.
The problem I'm having now is that I really need to get a good cut, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make it look good. I think I'm 2c/maybe some 3a. I have tighter curls under the top layer of hair. I need some input. Any advice, any ideas. Anything.
As you can tell, I cant seem to get things together, no definition, things just all over the place. Anyone have any technique ideas or anything that I can try? I just feel like this looks messy and weird.

(CNSNews.com) - "Our failures took place over many years and many administrations, but no single individual was responsible for our failures," said 9/11 commission chairman Tom Kean on Thursday, as he officially released the report on the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks.
Even though no one person was singled out -- "individuals and institutions cannot be absolved of responsibility," said Kean, a Republican and the former governor of New Jersey.
"Any person in a senior position in our government at that time bears some element of responsibility for our government's actions."
Kean said it is not the commission's purpose to assign blame. He said the goal is to prevent future attacks.
"Every expert with whom we spoke told us an attack of even greater magnitude is now possible and even probable. We do not have the luxury of time. We must prepare and we must act."
Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton, a Democrat and a former member of Congress, outlined some of the report's recommendations.
"If, God forbid, there is another attack, we must be ready to respond," Hamilton said. He called for better training and equipment of first responders. He also called for the creation of a national counterterrorism center; stronger congressional oversight; a beefed-up homeland defense; and a national intelligence director.
There must be changes in government organization, Hamilton said. "Good people can overcome bad structures," he said. "They should not have to." He said the government needs better information-sharing and a clear idea of who is in charge of pulling all the information together.
"We have made a limited number of recommendations, focusing on the areas we believe most critical," Hamilton said.
He also said it's important to balance security with liberty. "We must when all is said and done, preserve the liberties that we are fighting for.""

Hey thanks for your prompt reply uziiuzair. Just emailed you the URL.
It doesnt happen all the time to everyone. I run Google campaigns for my business and when people click on your ad of a web designer, most suicidal thing can happen to you that your potential customer see your own website with 'security issues'.
Hi there,
This might not be right place to post my query, however, considering there is a plenty of webbies brains to pick from in this forum, I thought I might just ask. What to lose?
I have my own website built on good old WordPress and I have got some feedback from people that when they tried to access my website using IE, the website is blocked by IE. It takes them to some page with https://with some weird characters with my web hosts branding and shows the message that "there is a problem with this website's security certificate and its bad for your computer and should not go to this website".
It only happens in IE.
I had a chat to my web hosting and ( I am not kidding) they ask me to ask 'people' to adjust their security settings in their IE or download Chrome.
Any ideas, help, fixes?
Many thanks.
Hey guys. Any idea if there is such things as a WP plugin for a foreign exchange business so that people can use their website to transfer money or calculate the transfer rate – something like http://www.westernunion.com.au/au/Home.page ?

Hey Razzc,
I'm sorry you feel dissapointed by the quality of replies you got, but can you not see how the quote above says – "I got a theme, & as usual ThemeForest authors don't know PHP"I think you might have wound most people up from there, hence the angry replies!
Incorrect! Read my original post again. It says 'author' NOT authors neither have I used terms such as as usual and everyone knew exactly what I was talking about it. Funny people are making things up. But like I said in my earlier post that quality of response I got reflects the quality of their mentality. They're so super-intelligent like HRH Ben Shepperd who said He is looking for support, I wonder what makes him think I am a man?
People only read my criticism of this author and totally blind folded to all the good stuff I said about the theme.
@BenSheppard: When did I say other people don't know things You are making things up. I was pretty specific in what I wrote. The original post is still there. You need to pull your head out of the sand dunes and do something more productive Ben. Getting a job would be good start.
@vntux: Thanks for the offer. I have made a small financial offer. Please check your email
AjexFjord said
In fairness to everyone – when we all sign up for this marketplace it is stated that authors are not required to offer any form of support let alone customisation.
Granted many authors do offer generous support which no doubt really helps those less experienced. The authors deserve the respect for putting the work in to create the great files that people buy here. Without their skills many people would be left to have to try and build a site from scratch and I am sure that that would turn out far worse for them.
What it comes down to is that anyone who takes on paid client work, is the only person responsible for resolving any issues that they face whilst completing the project.
Either way you are getting the help you require to fix the problem, so problem sorted. Good luck with the rest of your project.
Thank You. I was just disappointed to get the quality of response from people. I asked for help. If they can, fine. If they can't just leave people alone. I am pretty sure they must have plenty of time to themselves. Very unprofessional. I am glad I don't have to work with some of them.

Shydesign offered his help three times now. Take it
I have Bianca. Thanks. I am just disgusted by the response form others.
BenSheppard said
Please everyone calm down. He is talking about support, evanto support. not an author
Yes they'll know what they're doing, if you don't trust them with the theme they made, hire someone to edit it
You seem to know a lot Ben!

"customization" and "my client" don't go well in the same paragraph around here, unless they're followed by "I have a budget for this". Expertise for customizing a template isn't priceless, it actually has a costAnyway, ask the devs at DOTPLUS to search for the page template being used there and then remove the <a> tag inside a <em>, inside a <li> with a class of
portfolio-item. That should do it.
Thanks for the effort digital impact. I am a one man show. The 'dev' the salesman, the lot. Looking at the GREAT response from SOME, I am pretty sure I am going empty-handed. I will try and look for that page template in question.
Thanks again.

Hi, Do you know if its possible to change a theme for another one without pay more? Excuse me for my english. I'm from France… Thx for an answer
Thanks for the help. I have already done a lot of work on this theme.

I just bought this theme from the forest and surprise surprise the theme-author seems to know very little about php and what goes under the boot
Given that they built the theme (based on PHP code) that you purchased, it seems a bit unfair to suggest that they know "very little" about PHP.
That said something this straight forward I am surprised the author was not prepared to help you
Is this how authors put it. (May be these files: shortcodes/shortcodes.php, inc/related/related-portfolio.php…will fix the problem). Do you believe they know what they doing? Do you know on themefores largest sales figures come from best of supporters? I bet you don't!

Southampton rookie Ben Reeves has joined League Two Dagenham on loan.
The 20-year-old midfielder has agreed a month-long deal at Victoria Road and could make his debut against fellow strugglers Plymouth on Saturday.
Reeves made his first-team bow for Saints in September, starting their 2-1 Carling Cup win at home to Preston.
He has since gone on to make seven appearances for the south-coast outfit, four of which came from the bench.
His last run-out was in the FA Cup replay defeat by Millwall earlier this month.

AAPG member Matt Hall is inspiring geologists and geophysicists to write about what makes them tick: earth sciences.
Whether it's discussing the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano in Iceland or innovative presentations at oil and gas conferences, Hall wants to "democratize" earth science writing, expanding it beyond the formal realm of academic and peer reviewed journals and into the public domain.
"I can't stand the fact that writing should be left to the so-called 'experts'," said 40-something Hall, a Ph.d geologist, geophysicist and former copy editor of math texts for the Reed Elsevier Scientific Group.
"We've all got something to contribute, and there are almost no boundaries," he said. "Writing is a way to reflect one's own work as a geoscientist."
Further encouraging his peers to get creative, Hall says, "Dive in. Be bold. That's what the Wikipedia editors say."
Hall, a principal consultant with Agile Geoscience Ltd., is at the forefront of a current paradigm shift that's re-evaluating how the general public (and geoscientists) views the act of writing itself.
Most readers, according to Hall, view themselves as passive consumers of information, and not as writers.
"The audience is important," Hall said, "but it's also about the writer being engaged – the process of writing and publishing (blogs, magazine articles or conference papers) engages the individual.
"Engagement is going to drive excellence in what we do," he continued. "And it will inspire kids to get involved in earth sciences."
Hall has designed a writer's tool kit and short course for geoscientists, laying the foundation for his peers to contribute – write, email, blog or tweet – their ideas and opinions on geoscience issues, taking advantage of all available platforms, including the new social media.
It is, for him, a new career opportunity.
In May Hall taught his inaugural course, "Writing for Earth Scientists," at the CSPG-CSEG-CWLS joint annual convention in Calgary, Canada, attracting nine students.
His one-day course focuses on the principles of clear, accurate writing, and provides students with practical, down-to-earth writing skills.
The course acknowledges how geoscientists view the world, and capitalizes the power of combining written text with various types of figures – maps, cross-sections, tables, bar graphs, mathematics, units of measurement, signs and symbols – to produce maximum impact.
Students are encouraged to bring samples of their past or present work for classroom discussions and feedback, and at the end of the course they depart with homework.
To Hall's surprise, many of his Calgary students – all geologists and geophysicists – weren't just interested in technical writing; they were also curious about writing fiction, blogs and "fun-to-read" articles.
"A couple of years ago, this course would have been about writing for technical journals," he said. "Writing doesn't have to be that big a deal; it can actually be fun. People generally read for fun or for entertainment."
But are writing skills becoming obsolete in the age of the new social media?
Just the opposite is true, according to AAPG member Mark Dahl, a geologist with ConocoPhillips Canada in Calgary who attended Hall's course.
"Writing skills have become more important, especially with the advent of tweeting and blogging," Dahl said. "And I want to be part of that community."
Dahl regularly contributes to ConocoPhillips' in-house Wikipedia site, which is extensively peer reviewed throughout the company, from its upstream and downstream divisions. In the course of performing his daily job, Dahl regularly posts informal reports, posters and dynamic maps, soliciting peer reviews within the ConocoPhillips' global family of experts.
"There is a shift going on in the company toward rewarding people for their sharing of knowledge and not just for their technical knowledge," Dahl said. "And there's no better way to show your performance than to write about it.
"Some managers who don't want to participate in this new form of communication become isolated within their own teams and companies," he added.
Dahl's comments are echoed by Evan Bianco, another course participant.
"A lot of oil and gas geoscientists may think that writing is not important, because in a meeting the loudest voice wins," said Bianco, a geophysicist and Hall's colleague at Agile Geosciences. "But writing creates a level playing field; it's a more thoughtful way to communicate."
Cory Bass, a course participant and senior geologist with Calgary-based Freemont Resources, takes this theme one step further: "When you write, you end up with a product that contains a cogent argument or explanation – and that doesn't happen a lot in our business because ideas are rarely documented.
"Often times," he added, "there's a lot of maps, but the fabric of the idea (that generated the maps) can be lost."
Writing, admittedly, was never Bass' strong point.
"I was one of those kids who refused to read as a kid," he said.
But Bass got switched on to reading as an adult, realizing that writing was indeed an invaluable tool.
"As your career progresses, that tool becomes important to senior leaders, your company and to outside investors," he said.
Bass estimates that he spends 15 to 20 percent of his work day making presentations in montage or PowerPoint formats.
"I can't tell you how many terrible presentations I've seen by senior business leaders seeking capital," he said.
"I won't be the guy who geologically educates the community," he said, "but what works for me is sharing knowledge in the geoscience community."
Amanda Knowles, a geophysicist with Calgary based RPS Boyd PetroSearch, took the course to hone her report writing skills and to avoid pitfalls like grammatical mistakes and scientific errors.
"I do a lot of report writing, and I feel like I've never been able to put a part of myself into the reports," Knowles said. "I wonder sometimes if the client even reads the reports. Are they too boring?"
Knowles conducts volunteer education and outreach activities – reaching school children of all ages – for the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists, and writing is cornerstone of her stakeholder communications.
"Writing defines our reputations, in a sense," she said. "People may judge our entire company or geoscience community by how and what we write."
Bill Orr is an evaluation geologist who works for a financial regulator in Canada. Orr's world revolves around reviewing documents generated by publicly traded oil and gas companies: disclosures, press releases, financial reports, reserve reports, annual filings and offering memoranda for initial public offerings (IPOs).
"In the regulatory business," Orr said, "words and figures are legal documents. The meanings and contexts of words are very important.
"In the new world of unconventional resources versus conventional resources – although it sounds very arcane – we still discuss the meanings of contingent resources," he said.
Taking off his financial hat, Orr sees many opportunities for geoscientists to get involved, to be relevant to Society.
"Everyday issues – climate change, peak oil or geohazards – affect our lives, and yet we don't see geologists' voices weighing in.
"There's no barrier to entry for the Internet," Orr said of aspiring writers. "A well-worded Tweet can have a profound effect. The words will never lose their power, and the blogger can find his audience in (perhaps) the next hour."
He cautioned, however:
"The quality of the writing – even in a 140-character Tweet – speaks to the trust or belief in the writing. Poorly written 'stuff' reflects poorly on the author."
Hall is based in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, a sleepy town in Nova Scotia where the steeples of its three waterfront churches used to serve as beacons to sailors. Yet, Hall's geoscience blog (www.agilegeoscience.com) – which is gaining quite a global following – connects him to the oil and gas industry.
One of Agile's pet projects is open software, providing free source code and applications ("apps") to geologists and geophysicists, complete with videos on how to use the apps.
"You have to have a tough skin to blog," Bianco said. Traditional publishing of articles, he explained, typically go through a peer review process of up to six peers.
"With blog publishing, you go through hundreds of peer reviews," he said, "and it happens after you publish."
"I like the fact that we have a huge diversity of channels today," Hall said. "Thirty years ago, there was one channel, the editor of a learned journal.
"The signal to noise ratio may be going down," he said, "but that's an entirely different problem."

Young Girls Long Party Hairstyle
Long Curls For Special Occasions
There are many young girls who have the patience for long, luxurious locks. When a formal occasion arises, long locks on young girls can be styled into a variety of fabulous looks.
A long hairstyle for parties will ensure that your little girl looks just like a princess. It is true, that long locks can take some effort to maintain and keep looking lovely and healthy in young girls. However, if both you and your child have the patience to take care of her tresses, her long hair will always look amazing.
Especially when a party arises and your young girl wants a fabulous hairstyle for the event. It is important to remember that even if you and your young girl want her locks to be long, that she is taken in to see a stylist on a regular basis for trims. Approximately every eight weeks or so, your child should visit the beautician to have any ragged ends cut off of the ends of her tresses to leave the remaining hair full of life and luster.
Another vital step for long, healthy locks in young girls is to only wash her tresses every second or third day. It can be bad for your child's hair to wash the locks on a daily basis.
Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner when it is time to wash your young girl's hair. After her hair has been washed, blot the excess water from her locks with a towel, being very careful not to tug, pull or twist. Always detangle your young girl's long locks with a wide tooth comb.
If she is susceptible to knots, consider using a leave in conditioner. Allow her hair to air dry when possible as the heat from a blow dryer can be damaging.
The next time a formal event is in your young girl's future, consider a fabulous party hairstyle for her long locks. This party hairstyle for young girls with long hair is ideal for any special occasion. The hairstyle is formal and regal while still maintaining a youthful edge. Best of all, this style is very easy to achieve so your young girl is not forced to sit for a long hairstyling session
Young Girls Long Party Hairstyle Styling Steps
Wash your young girl's hair.
Towel dry and apply a leave in conditioner before detangling her tresses with a wide tooth comb.
Use a round brush and blow-dry her tresses.
When her hair is fully dry mist lightly with a styling gel.
Pull a section from either side of her head up towards the back of her crown and pin securely. Consider using jeweled barrettes.
Use small to medium sized hot rollers or curling iron or you could even use rag curls. Curl her hair in ringlets throughout.
When the curls have cooled, use your fingers to comb them gently and arrange as desired.
Mist lightly with hair spray for long lasting, all day hold.
If desired, you can rub some shine serum between your palms and smooth it over your young girl's locks.

Near work induced corneal aberrations in progressing myopia
Buehren, Tobias F., Collins, Michael J., & Carney, Leo G. (2004) Near work induced corneal aberrations in progressing myopia. In Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Meeting, 2004.
Published Version
To study whether corneal wavefront aberrations significantly differ between progressing myopes and stable emmetropes after reading.
Twenty young progressing myopic subjects and twenty young emmetropic subjects participated in the experiment. Corneal topography of the left eye was measured with a videokeratoscope prior to reading and then again after 1 hour and 2 hours of reading. The natural position of the eyelids was photographed in primary gaze and during the reading task.
Both emmetropic and myopic groups showed corneal shape and wavefront changes following 1 hour and 2 hours of reading. The major difference between the two groups was the location and magnitude of the corneal aberration changes, which could be attributed to differences in palpebral aperture in the reading gaze position. A significantly smaller palpebral aperture was found for the myopic group in the reading gaze position (emmetropic group = 8.09 mm ±1.56; myopic group = 7.12 mm ±1.00; p = 0.025).
Significant changes were found for myopes and emmetropes in trefoil along 30º and vertical coma following reading. A significant shift in direction of against–the rule astigmatism was found for the myopic group (Cyl. –0.14 X 91°, p = 0.01) but not for the emmetropic group (Cyl. –0.04 X 81°, p = 0.09). Corneal higher order wavefront RMS after reading was significantly increased in myopes compared with emmetropes (pre–reading RMS: emmetropes = 0.22 microns, myopes = 0.25 microns, p = 0.23; post–1 hour reading RMS: emmetropes = 0.23 microns, myopes = 0.31 microns, p = 0.02; post–2 hours reading RMS: emmetropes = 0.25 microns, myopes = 0.33 microns, p = 0.06).
Prolonged narrowing of the palpebral aperture during reading may compromise retinal image quality and thereby provide a cue for eye growth. Corneal wavefront changes following reading tended to be larger and occur closer to the central cornea in myopes compared with emmetropes.

Guest Book Page
After Germany's humiliating defeat in World War One, Hitler returned to munich, Bitter and disillusioned. He blamed the Jews and Marxists at home for Germanys defeat. Hitler was kept on the regimental roster and was assigned to spy on post-war political parties. In 1919, he was assignged to investigate a small radical group calling themselves the'Deutscher Arbeiterparie' (German Workers Party) The party had no program or no plan of action, but the rhetoric they spun, caught Hitler's attention and he soon resigned his role within the regiment and enlisted into the'Deutscher Arbeiterparie' Membership number 55. He soon found himself on the party's Executive Committee and within two years he advanced to the leadership of the party. With this he changed the partys name to the National Socialist Deutscher Arbeitparty. (NAZI party) Hitler transformed the NAZI movement with superb speeches and politcal rallies. In 1923 He believed that the Weimar Republic was ripe to overthrow and he helped organise a purge which became known as the Beer Hall Putsch, on November 8 1923. The Putsch was a complete failure in terms of overthrowing the German government, but it did achieve in giving Him and his party a platform of high media attention. Hitler was sentenced to five years imprisonment for high treason for which he served only nine months in Landsberg Prison. It was whilst he was serving his sentence, that he dictated his biography, which he called 'Mien Kampf' (My Struggle). After his release from prison in December 1924, Hitler set about rebuilding his party, assisted by two close followers, Dr Paul Joseph Goebbels, a master at propoganda and Captain Hermann Goering, a World War One ace fighter pilot. It is at this stage that Hitler pledged to destroy the Weimar Republic from within the democratic framework. His dream became reality on 30 January 1933 when he was offered the title of Chancellor.
Only one thing stood in Hitlers way as total leader of the German nation; President Von Hindenburg. President Hindenburg was known to despise the little corporal. Hitler had tried and failed to beat Hindenburg at the presidential elections for the office of President. In the elections of April 1932, Hitler polled 13,418,011 votes to Hindenburgs, 19,359,650 votes. Hitler would have to wait until Hindenburgs death on August 2 1934 before claiming the office of President and of the Reich's Fuehrer. Hitler was now master of Germany and with it the road to war and genocide.

I think Mark at LOSOK has done a few of these. Might give you some tips or do the work. Not quite sure what his status is but everyone raves about how good his work is.
This is a discussion on 1903 Springfield Sniper questions within the Rifles forums, part of the Sniping Related category; HI All, I have an old '03 springfield my grandpa gave me when he died. It was made in 1938 and was sporterized by him ...
HI All,
I have an old '03 springfield my grandpa gave me when he died. It was made in 1938 and was sporterized by him and has a weaver K4 4x from the prewar era on it.
The stock may have not been made for the '03 because it has a large gash/chip right behind the bolt handle when it is in the down positon. It looks like the first shot that was fired from the new stock took a big chunk out of it.
Anyway, I want to turn it into the old wwII style '03 sniper. I see that boyds carries the stock that is necessary, but they don't carry the small metal parts that keep the two peices toghether. I am sure I can find those little parts.
Has anyone done this before? Does anyone have an '03 sniper?
This is what I want to turn it into:

You thought I've been joking but you'll be sorry when the Star Cruisers arrive!
Ya, and if you get in touch with him, tell him to respond to my email :x :x
Cabelas carries a lot of the stocks in their shooting catalog and I was able to pick up one from the Dundee, MI store last year for our 03. The stock just had to be finished but it turned out amazing. Check this guy out too for info...A friend of mine bought from him before.
I agree with POGO. Mark has done several of those rifles in the configuration you are wanting. He can at the very least point you in the right direction. If you decide you want him to do the work for you don't get in hurry. He is buried under rifles right now and his extremely busy.
Reddog it seems you issues should be taken up in private and especially NOT in this thread. I understand your frustration but have you tried calling Mark? I spoke with him today. It seems a phone call or two would resolve your issues.
Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you.
Sum dominus fati: sed sum princeps meae.
NUMRICH gun parts is a great place to buy stocks and parts with exploded views as well. Im currently rebuilding 5 remington 03-A3's for the local Nat. Guard (HonorGuard) you can also find parts in e bay if your a patient man. Be advised there are many band and stock parts variations so stick to one model, and be picky about your wood too!, there are many "conditions" issues with used stocks, the new ones are much nicer.
If its a fair fight, you didnt prepare well enough.
