Here is the official music video for Tyga's "Faded" single featuring his Young Money boss, Lil Wayne. This song can be found of T-Raw's Careless World: Rise Of The Last King album that you can purchase in stores or on iTunes today! YMCMB's Birdman and Mack Maine also make cameos in the visual, which was directed by Colin Tilley.
I found it hilarious when it showed Tygaman and Weezy with large heads on their normal-sized bodies 😆
I will update this post when a better quality version of the video surfaces online. Updated the video with the official explicit version.

Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Fume Blanc 2008
Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Intense primary aromas of lemongrass mingle with the subtle scent of lime blossoms and hints of sage and spice. Mouthfilling flavors of crisp yellow peach are couched in a very smooth, rounded texture. Thanks to the small Sauvignon Blanc yields of 2008, flavors are concentrated and the wine is already very expressive in its youth.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Pale, bright straw. Musky pineapple, citrus peel, fresh herbs and licorice on the nose, with enticing floral lift. Densely packed, sweet and bright, with noteworthy fruit intensity for a basic bottling. Finishes with very good length. Not quite complex enough for an outstanding rating but this would make a very flexible dinner-table wine. Genevieve Janssens notes that as of vintage 1999, Mondavi has practiced "green juice winemaking" for its sauvignon blanc and "brown juicy winemaking" for its chardonnay-i.e., preserving sauvignon against oxidation at every step of winemaking and elevage while encouraging the oxidizable enzyme in chardonnay to oxidize and fall out of the wine during the vinification."
Robert Mondavi Winery
For more than 40 years, Robert Mondavi Winery has been the symbol of Napa Valley. Founded in 1966, it was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the three decades following the repeal of Prohibition (1933), and went on to establish the foundation for modern California winemaking. Robert Mondavi Winery's mission-styled architecture, with the expansive archway and bell tower designed by Cliff May, has become an enduring landmark that honors California's history. With the philosophy that great wines reflect their origins, Robert Mondavi Winery pursues the fullest expression of the terroir of its Napa Valley vineyards: the historic To Kalon Vineyard in the Oakville American Viticultural Area (AVA), and the Wappo Hill Vineyard in the Stags Leap Vineyard AVA.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

i've noticed that there is fairly widespread inconsistency with respect to the use of the spelling Coffyn vs Coffin. my approach has been to keep the Coffyn spelling for the UK, and indeed correctly derived, and the Coffin spelling for descendants of Tristram Coffyn nantucket et al.
Also, the use of Sir as a prefix to an individuals name seems to help in terms of sorting through multiple generations and instances of those wiht the same name. I also believe, as I do with Doctors etc, that the title is well deserved and shouldn't fall victim to potentially arbitrary conventions.
i am not suggesting my viewpoint as ruling, rather sharing my rationale given the challenge of consistency in the realm of genealogical crowdsourcing. it is tricky, but from my experience, such seemingly subtle differences can make a huge difference in matching data.
I would welcome your suggested disambiguation as a "naming convention" for the Coffyn / Coffin's and would find it most helpful.
I do ask that "Sir" (or any other honorific) not be used in the first name field. "Sir" is not a name, it's an honorific, and used as a "prefix."
Hopefully Noah can get prefix and title fields added to the Geni database and that will further help distinguish the generations.
One thing I do nowadays is use the suffix field with a place name. For instance, Peter Coffin, of Nantucket; vs. Peter Coffin, of Ipswich. Etc.
hi guys,
i am not wanting to be viewed as an upstart, however i would like to make a case in favor of using prefix's in the first name field until such time a more permanent solution is implemented.
my thinking is that the "prefix" Sir or Dr or Countess et al, are-in my opinion-names indeed, or at least a portion of someone's name. they are not only distinctions that have been earned, but also used when addressing someone. Dr Coffin, Sir William etc.
personally i feel that using the "of Devon" distinction in the suffix field is setting up for problems down the road and undermines the concept of delineating names, locations etc in seperate database fields.
what if there is Peter Coffyn Jr of Devon? shouldn't the Jr go in the suffix field? but what then of the "of Devon?" granted, using the individual's location was very much part of the evolution of how surnames came about, but i don't think that applies in this instance?
an example of foreseeable train-wreck might be something like:
Peter Coffyn of Hertfordshire - shows in a list this way but if there are more than one, more than one in Devon. you have to click down another layer to determine which Peter is your guy.
maybe the Peter Coffyn you are looking for was a knight... in that case, you'd know this at the list level because the listing would read:
Sir Peter Coffyn
another thought that comes tom mind is the variables. how many hamlets, towns, cities etc variables are there? i suppose i am looking at this in somewhat of a combination of information organisation and usability//hierarchy standpoint.
since what i am suggesting arguably only has a few variables, there is not much room for conflict, just another distinction of meaningful information helpful in more than one way.
at the moment, i can think of the following prefixs that i favor as candidates for inclusion in the first name field:
again, i am simply trying to support a different take on this, not be argumentative. i only argue about ice cream and bowling :p
an example case, richard coffyn is a name that consistently descends almost 200 years all the way up into 1300s in a particular lineage. not all were knights. there are instances of cousins with same name, but only one was a knight.
or, i have my father, grandfather and great grandfather with the exact same name. 2 were doctors.
another example is richard coffyn, the father of sir richard coffyn, sir richard coffyn served as a knight under henry viii during the same time as his younger brother sir william coffyn.
they were both from devon.
i guess i am thinking that the prefixes i am suggesting are not arbitrarily affixed, quite the contrary,
i agree that using such prefixes as Mrs, Ms, Missus, Mssrs, Master, Lady, Dame, Mademoiselle etc (many of which i have seen used rampantly btw) would be unnecessary "noise" and offer no "disambiguation" value.
i do feel Geni is remiss in not having a simple pulldown or similar way to populate a prefix field which is indexed along with the other fields.
1. Prefix field has been requested and Geni is looking to implement.
2. Title field has been requested.
3. Display name "expose in all views" has been requested.
4. "Nickname field" re-labeled as "Also known as" has been requested.
This gives you FOUR places to add a prefix / title so names can be used precisely as labeled in geni: as names.
As a curator I am strongly opposed to titles in "name" fields. Trust me, I have done more detangling of bad merges based on people doing this --- what a waste of my time. Please, I beg you, don't do it to me. :)
The problem is "tree matches." The geni search engine matches on "name" fields, so if you have "Sir" (first name) "Coffyn" (last name) you are going to get every Coffyn who was a Sir (which is more than one).
It's a recipe for bad merges.
P.S. We are coming up with "naming conventions" for the Geni Community Wiki in this project, please feel free to join:
i wasn't aware of the forthcoming (1,2,3,4) additions to the profile name fields. seems like the issue discussed here would become non-issues once mplementated. although, i hope we could designate and/or control the proper use of said fields. will they be pull-down with choices? or open for any input?
i appreciate your insight and taking the time to address my questions. i wish you'd also taken a moment to answer some of the other issues and questions i'd mentioned. i'd really appreciate that :)
i can assure you that my ability to be part of the solution and NOT part of the problem would be much greater if i had the benefit of your responses.
i respect your experience and the gravity of your responsibility as a curator and want to make sure you know i never intend to appear insubordinate to your insight. please correct me if i am mistaken, but we are basically talking about a huge amount of data, usability, naming convention and manageability - right?
i've been involved in a fair number lofty information design projects and would be more than happy to contribute (hah, no, really?) any insight or ideas that might prove valuable in the equation here. but i am not really sure about how or with whom to engage in order to contribute in a valuable way.
the scenarios i mentioned above, which i think are fairly representative assessments and describe relevant examples of the symptoms of the naming convention tangle we're discussing, haven't been acknowledged in your response, is this because they are non-issues and i just don't have that information?
i am just wanting to help, not just because i want things to be easier for me, but also because the problems i am encountering are likely encountered by others.
on ancestry.com, Sir Richard Coffyn b 1168, is widely "documented" as having been married to Eleanor of Aquitaine (who was married to Henry II) which is arguably and entirely inaccurate. ancestry.com is NOT a site that supports or fosters collaboration, so the issues we've run in to here would likely just remain afloat contaminating to and fro.
headed to naming convention wiki now ->
how can i help erica? can i buy you a cocktail?
Disclaimer: any inferences of potentially incendiary remarks above should be considered resulting from the distortion of or lack of tone and inflection.
Hi Tristam,
I don't have all the answers nor do I have time frames -- that would be a Noah question:)
I am assuming that the Prefix would work like Suffix does now: with some drop down choices built in, but the ability to accept free text input in Profile view. I doubt Title or Birth Name would have an auto population.
You can help tremendously by joining the "naming conventions" project mentioned above and helping develop a "standard suggestion" for an area of history on the Geni Community Wiki. That would really help all of us.
LOL @ Eleanor of Acquataine. There are some strange myths that cycle on the internet. We're after historical accuracy here.
well, i think it mainly has to do wiht the fact that "place" is more or less irrelavent until you've drilled down to to profile level, which at that point "place" can be featured elsewhere on the page.
having it in the suffix, for me, adds a level of abstraction that serves no purpose to distinguish one "john smith of devon" from another "john smith of devon"
do a search on:
william coffyn
you should get 4 results. choose to sort by Last Name
i added "of Devon" to one of the profiles, which you should see.as third in the list. when looking at the list of profiles in tis manor, the "of Devon" provides little to no helpful information in terms of searching. it seems what is most helpful is the "Son of" and "Father of"
that, and of course, the birth and death dates.
adding the "of Devon" to me simply adds unnecessary information that is more or less irrelevant at that level in the search process. especially if, for example, i had results numbering 25+ and half were "of Devon"
in terms of suffix, i firmly believe Sr, Jr, II, III IV are equally valuable as "Father of" and "Son of"
no doubt genealogy is an incredibly complex and in some ways arbitrary - if you look at it from an historically consistent standpoint- category of information design to wrangle.
the only similarly complex example i can equate it to is weather. i worked for weather.com during a major site redesign and it took over 18 months... a suffocating amount of data to organize, present and optimize for ease of use, comprehension and usability. whew!
in summary, i don't see the advantage or value, except in limited and isolated instances, of putting a "place" in the suffix.
OK you're assuming "search." I don't often use "search." I am mostly in tree view trying to distinguish between 4 different generations of Tristam Coffin who have become conflagrated together.
So I tried numbering (l, ll, lll) and ran into trouble when the numbering would repeat, or when a nephew and not a direct line took on the same name.
In researching (old books usually) I started noticing that ancestors would be referred to as, for instance, Robert Reynolds of Ipswich vs. Robert Reynolds of Isle of Wight. It made it easier to keep them distinguished and confused with each other.
So think again for my situation -- keeping the different generations appropriately unconfused. Now do you see the value?
Here are the other problems I found with l, ll and Sr Jr.
- Sometimes especially more recently Sr Jr etc is a part of the legal name as reflected on birth certificate. Therefore it should be used as such in those situations.
- In older times a person would start to be referred to as Sr when his son Jr was born. When Sr died, grandson would become Jr and the former Jr would become Sr. Mass confusion!
yes, i am thinking about search since whatever profile data is abstracted to remain in the search results plays a critical role in distinguishing that profile from another. it wold seem to me that if the objective were not to have distinguishing data even at the most abstract level, then no meaningful results could be expected by searching.
a user has to start somewhere. i am guessing they start by conducting some flavor of a search..
bing in tree view would seem to me to be something a user would not attempt until at least a few visits or even after a somewhat lengthy overall exploration of the site.
unfortunately i don''t have any insight to how the site is used, otherwise we'd have a much better chance to fine tune this issue.
so, in terms of tree view, i am completely overwhelmed with the usability or lack thereof frankly. it seems the small square further limits the amount of info that can be featured, however i am thinking the intention of a user in that context is arguably different than in a search mode.
in tree mode, aren't we more or less cleaning up, double-checking, fine-tuning, weeding out and filling in the gaps?
in this instance, i've been terribly frustrated for many reasons, some of which have more to do with the actual design interface, rather than the information etc. but i think there are some significant information issues at play in the context of the tree view.
i will take a quick break and go gather my thoughts so i can explain properly. brb.
You are welcome to ask for additional input but you're going to get the same answer from all:
"Sir" is not a first name and should *never* be used in the first name field. Curators and collaborators will exterminate it on sight. Be prepared. Sorry!
The Suffix / place name issue is open for discussion. I suggest the Coalition for Naming Conventions Project as the place to address it, as there are ideas and suggestions that will, perhaps, make it less necessary.
i am finding this discussion rather tedious and don't feel like any real communication is happening., i realise "sir" is not a first name - this is not something that most 2nd graders would argue.
however, my point in terms of considering the placement of "Sir" when referring to a Knight, in the First Name field has, at the very least, enough merit to have some productive discussion about it. if not, and all i can expect is repeated statements that are closed-ended, well i have no reason to continue "pressing the button" do i?
simply stating repeatedly that "Sir is not a first name" has no impact beyond the first time the statement was posted.
i am beginning to question the business strategy for Geni.com if they somehow respond to PAYING users' request o modify their user interface in order to accommodate a better user experience as well as straighten out what is obviously going to compound whatever current database problems that currently exist.
perhaps i am assuming that Geni.com is not a crowdsourced entity, and instead expect they have a vested interest in improving their product.
i find the entire user interface for Geni.com to be clunky and difficult to navigate - mostly related to content location. but that's another story.
it appears to be a real shame because ancestry.com, while providing a decent authentication layer to their service, as well as a fairly robust user interface, they lack considerably in terms of community and collaboration.
Geni.com seems to offer some of what is missing in ancestry.com, however i am finding the collaboration to bew fairly obtuse and honestly not very inviting.
i get all the reasons that adding "sir" to the name field is detrimental to the database et al. however, i think it is worth weighing against what i would think is ultimately more valuable, and that is usability. if there is no usability, the database is moot. no one cares how the database works if they cannot understand or use it easily.
i can appreciate "genealogist purists" and their concern over preserving the integrity of standardized naming with respect to person profiles, but i would argue there must be come compromise in order to accommodate what is arguably more important, usability.
why isn't geni.com moderating these issues? why can't they establish conventions? why aren't they willing to accommodate users' interests etc.
personally, i findit absured that we can't identify a handful of designators, which really are important in terms of sorting through duplicate profiles, duplicate names etc by modifying what goes into the first name field? and, truth is, if for example we are talking about little more than:
when geni.com proceeds to update the entry fields, these anomalies could be very easily parsed out in the blink of an eye. so the database would really not suffer any harm at all.
meh. i am afraid this is falling on deaf ears.
which is the proper way to enter data into fields? should we use the proper name usage per the time period context? or should we use the usage per current time period as the wiki being created suggests?
some may find this worth reading in terms of honorifics and then "sirs"-
thanks for the invitation, i actually commented there yesterday, which i believe includes having joined as well.
As an end user I can only work with the database fields at hand. A Prefix field has been requested and its up to Geni and its developers to advise on implementation: further than requesting enhancements we cannot do, right, except develop best practices for data entry? So that's the question I addressed, as I have no more ability to impact design than you do.
So when working with the fields available, we are developing those "practices" in the COGNOS discussion and input is more than welcome there. Yes, we are trying to break it out into practices by language and period and provide handy little summary guides on the Geni Wiki. Your assistance in that enterprise would be much appreciated.
Im not sure how to approach...I believe my grandma is of to be one of the last descendants of the coffin line from tristan coffin, we have recently been going through tons of dovuments, family books, even pages showing our ties to starbucks/macys/nantucket(which my grandmother did a family reuniom there recently) and even our past family house in devonshire england. Anyhow, Im just getting involved and before my grandma passes shes 94 she has a lot of info to share!!! Would love some feed back!!

The biggest change will be coming on Tuesday as my beautiful daughter and her family will be moving 1500klm away from us. As for all that know me, this will be very difficult for me. I see my lovely three little munchkins just about everyday and I worry about them being so far away.
Guess when my husband and I decided to move our little family in 1983 all the way to Australia we didn't think how it would affect the rest of the family. Guess what now I know and I don't like it.
On a happier note, I have listed some items on my Facebook page and will work out a link if you care to have a look sometime.
Have been doing a little sewing and got some appliqué done.
I have also got a pattern set for sale called Afternoon Delight by Sue Garman and it is $65 including postage in Australia.
Have stitched one block, it is the pinky/ red appliqué one.
Happy sewing to you all

Microscopic Breakthrough
Personal progress note (following the OP): when I started shooting labs, I was very influenced by the style of CSI. "Science in the dark" we used to call it. It's very dramatic. I don't think moving pictures are always about documenting reality. It's about creating something dramatic that the viewer can relate to on an emotional basis. I'd shot in this lab before in a more naturalistic way so going back and re-lighting was a lot of fun.

Evolution of Photography
Personal progress note: I've recently become a member of a studio cooperative which gives me a certain amount of shooting time every month. They have a huge white cyc wall but I've found clips with white backgrounds don't sell that well—buyers seem to prefer location shots—so I try to use the space for creating new ideas and composites like this one. Some compositing is just easier with the white.

Personal progress note: Another white studio shot, taken in a different studio than the Evolution of Photography clip above. Again, this was fun to shoot and composite but the series never did as well as I'd hoped. I still think it's important to stretch our work in different directions otherwise the collection will look like endless copies. Progress-wise, I feel I need to keep working to get more of the whimsical humor that's in the shoot into the clips. Nowadays, I'm trying to concentrate more on the actors and less on the camera.

i only paid 2500 my insurance only charged me 10%. Dr T is very competent. the pro op process was very good. there is not a lot post op...just blood work and quick 'are you taking your pills, walking, etc) visits on a set schedule. Karen his office manager has been very very helpful and supportive and if i had questions for an RD one is available to contact. my only complaint is that my pain was very badly controlled. i was in severe pain for 3 days and moderate pain for 2 weeks.
i was vocal about this but nothing satisfactory was done during those 3 days. i was told pre op i would have a PCA and one was not provided. i am very happy with the outcome of my surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat, but would barter beforehand on pain control. the problem is that i did not know it would be a problem of course. oh, he also forgot to come out and tell my sister i was out of surgery and how things went. that is pretty bad i think! but again his actual surgical competence is very highly rated and his complication rate is basically 0, which is a big deal.

The only thing is I haven't seen a canadian specific order guide so I don't know what the specific differences will be. The SEL is to be eliminated here, as well as the auto dimming rear view mirror and several other features/ colors/ etc.
Despite alloys being made standard on the SE you give up fog lamps and have to get the se premium package (not sure the exact name) for $2000 more with leather and 17" wheels in order to get rear disk brakes, and the dual zone climate control requires MFT where as in 2012 it was standard on an SEL without it. The SE now costs well over the former base or mid range SEL, and approaches Ti territory. Cloth seats are also unavailable on the 2013 Ti, as the base spec Ti starts off with the loaded SE, where as in 2012 at least you could have gotten cloth seats, which is nice since they were only available in black without a seat chiller.
Well damn.

'FOR THE CHURCH TO SAVE SOULS', Ratslinger said...... JESUS SAVES, not a religion, and certainly not a church.
#2 Apr 17, 2012
Of course it is Jesus who saves. The "Church" though is the Body of Christ present to the world today. It is and has been made up of believers who have been charged to "Go and baptize all nations in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" by Christ himself before returning to the Father. Now of course the "church" is also a building in which believers gather. The building itself has no real worth without the believers.

Then WHY do all the romanist church buildings have such luxurious surroundings, gold, silver, etc?
#5 Apr 18, 2012
I know of no "romanist church buildings." Try to clarify what kind of churches you are attempting to ask about and tell of how you have seen "all" of them so you know of what is inside them.

Obama & Friends: "Will Re-educate or Eliminate 25 Million Resistors"?
The plan is to have one religion that is part Black Liberation Theology(a la Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton), Radical Marxists and homosexual atheists(Wm Ayers and the Weather Underground)and Muslim(a la Louis Farrakhan) all of whom have come to embody the Democratic Party and others of the following list that have infiltrated that party with their godlessness. It's not the 1960's Party of JFK and Civil Rights, Labor Unions and Vietnam that brought together people of conscience.
Witches and Pagans
New Agers
Criminal elements including a rapists
Womanizers and Trollers
Government infiltrators
Demon possessed ones
Mentally confused ones

Why Science Wants Us to be Chimps
April 18, 2012
Independent scientists are challenging the dogma that humans are just a few DNA base pairs away from being monkeys.
This undermines the Illuminati plan to take human evolution away from God.
"A scenario involving state-mandated and guided evolution by any trans-humanist technology is being devised with the promise that the "experts" will fix all our evolutionary problems....."

I am skirting nothing. I do not recognize any kind of "romanist church" and therefore can not address your question in any way about one. As impressed with the fact you can spell "hypocrite" the fact that I can spell it only means that I have knowledge of phonics and nothing more.

Sure you do. The romanist religion is Catholicism, bossed by your elected pope.
#15 Apr 20, 2012
Why the use of the term "romanist" if indeed you are refering to the Catholic Church or "Catholicism?
#16 Apr 20, 2012
Catholic means universal. The Anglican Communion, Methodists, and Lutherans all refer to the Catholic Church. The Vatican is the head of the Roman Chatholic Church.
The central doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church is "Obey the Hierarchy."
Nothing else matters.
You can even rape children, as long as you mouth the correct dogma.
#17 Apr 20, 2012
And of course "Catholic" has nothing to do with the Bible. Just ask the Mafia.

Will the next pope be the last?
New book makes the case the 'great apostasy'
will follow reign of Benedict
"Based on the pre-sales of , "Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here," this may be the surprise hit of the year.
The book has been riding high on the Amazon charts for weeks before its release this week.
It makes the case that the successor to Pope Benedict XVI will be the last leading to what has been prophesied as the "great apostasy" and even the destruction of Rome.
For more than 800 hundreds years scholars have pointed to the dark augury having to do with "the last pope." The prophecy, taken from St. Malachy's "Prophecy of the Popes," is among a list of verses predicting each of the Roman Catholic popes from Pope Celestine II to the final pope, "Peter the Roman," whose reign would end in the destruction of Rome.
According to the prophecy, the next pope is to be the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman. The idea by some Catholics that the next pope on St. Malachy's list heralds the beginning of "great apostasy" followed by "great tribulation" sets the stage for the imminent unfolding of apocalyptic events, something many non-Catholics would agree with.
This would give rise to a false prophet, who according to the book of Revelation leads the world's religious communities into embracing a political leader known as Antichrist. In recent history, several Catholic priests -- some deceased now -- have been surprisingly outspoken on what they have seen as this inevitable danger rising from within the ranks of Catholicism as a result of secret satanic "Illuminati-Masonic" influences.
These priests claim secret knowledge of a multinational power elite and occult hierarchy operating behind supranatural and global political machinations. Among this secret society are sinister false Catholic infiltrators who understand that, as the Roman Catholic Church represents one-sixth of the world's population and over half of all Christians, it is indispensable for controlling future global elements in matters of church and state and the fulfillment of a diabolical plan they call "Alta Vendetta," which is set to assume control of the papacy and to help the False Prophet deceive the world's faithful (including Catholics) into worshipping Antichrist. As stated by Dr. Michael Lake on the front cover, Catholic and evangelical scholars have dreaded this moment for centuries. Unfortunately, as readers will learn, time for avoiding Peter the Roman just ran out.
The final pope may not be here yet, but "Petrus Romanus" is available in the WND Superstore now.

You sure hit the nail right on the head, Topsy.
Romanism is so hell-bent on man-made tradition, it is pathetic. Our little friend 'pax' lets on he knows nothing of what the term 'romanism' means --- how ridiculous!

Farpoint Group –
I'm a gadget freak. I love electrical, electronic, and mechanical toys. I used to take clocks and other expensive objects apart when I was little, and the put them back together. I became an engineer at least partly because I noticed all of the extra parts in the things I took apart and decided I could make a contribution to more economical designs. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Apart from that, I'm just fascinated with technology, which is the real reason I became an engineer. Of course, being older and a good deal more practical, I tend to favor toys that add to my productivity or otherwise make work easier or more fun. For the record, I do buy the pure toys as well. I have a 40 GB iPod I got a few years ago. It's cool. And it's still in the box; most of the fun stuff is.
On the more practical side, I've been using a notebook (OK, originally a laptop) computer since 1988. I got one of the first Windows CE (today, Windows Mobile) devices, a Casio Cassiopeia, at COMDEX in 1999 when it was announced. My personal mobility strategy is to augment the desktop rather than replace it, so my notebook is in fact optimized for mobility - small and light are more important to me that desktop-class performance. I currently use an IBM X40, although it's due to be replaced later this year. Anything less than three pounds in on the list. I'm currently using a Treo 650 in place of a PDA; smartphone hybrids of cell phones and PDAs are clearly the key direction now, and once again Windows Mobile is at the forefront. Still, today one needs both a notebook and a smartphone.
Or do you? Consider one of the truly great toys - I mean, tools - announced in recent years: The Oqo 01+. I first mentioned this product in these pages over a year ago - it's a full Windows PC in a PDA form factor. It can also run Tablet PC software as well. (I have mixed feelings about the whole tablet concept; there ain't nobody or nothing that can recognize my handwriting, including me. Believe it or not, I block-print when I take notes.) The 01+ is based on a 1 GHz processor with 512 MB of memory and a 30 GB hard drive. The display is 800x400, and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in. It's got a sliding micro-keyboard and all of the standard PC convenience and connectivity features. This is by far the coolest business toy ever. I want one.
So, let me plead: please, please can I have one, please? For something like this I'll clean up my room, take out the garbage, walk the dog, and wash the car. Please? I'll even be good.
But will I spend my own money on one? We have a long-standing policy at Farpoint Group of actually buying the products we use. Yes, we have lots of things that companies send us for testing and evaluation, but if we use it in production, we pay for it. This is the only way to avoid conflicts of interest and even being accused of having an opinion for sale. We do not, and we never will.
But the Oqo is about US$1,800. While well within my budget for the next notebook (I'll spend up to US$2,500), I'm not sure this product can replace a small notebook. I wouldn't want to type reports on that keyboard (I've filed columns on the Palm, but after 1,000 words or so, my thumbs do indeed get pretty tired). My over-40 eyes probably won't last long with a 5-inch display. And it's too expensive to replace a PDA and doesn't have the wide-area wireless capabilities of a cell phone. And at almost a pound in weight, it's too heavy to replace a phone anyway, even if it had a wide-area radio.
Still, it's one of the most interesting products I've ever seen, and a great engineering achievement regardless. It will find a home with many travelers, and in lots of vertical applications as well. It's on my Christmas list. But it's not yet ready for a place in my personal arsenal, at least not if I have to spend my own money on it. And I probably do.
This is my last regular column for wireless.itworld.com, but I hope to become an irregular contributor. It's a been a great pleasure working with the folks at ITworld.com, especially Jodie Naze, who's made my job easy, in addition to being one of the nicest people on this planet. In closing, I wish you all the best with your wireless and mobile endeavors, and thank you for your support over the past three years.

Original Abstract Expressionism Painting
by Elis Cooke
"If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing."
--Marc Chagall--
Series: Musings
Series Statement:
The Musing series are my daily paintings. I start my day in the studio with an open mind, working intuitively with what arrives, somewhat like working in an art journal. This series is a daily reflection of current practices, processes and explorations. It includes studies in form, composition and colour, experiments, sketches and detours from the main path.
The Musing group focuses on pure abstract/ non objective studies in form, composition and colour.
Size: 16x20 inches on 18x22inch paper. Unmatted. Unframed. Ready to frame in a standard sized frame.
Support: Stonehenge 100% cotton paper.
Media: Mixed watermedia painting
The best advice I've come across about creating is "To create what you want to look at..." I love to look at work that is ambiguous and suggestive; work that leaves room for the imagination of the viewer. Thus, I aspire to create a spirited body of work I define as "otherly". My art is ever evolving based upon recent experiments, research, discoveries and inspirations.
Thank you for taking the time to look!

DAVIDSON, N.C. - Sophomore defender Shane Powell netted his first score as a Spider on Saturday as Richmond men's soccer was edged, 2-1, by Davidson at the Wildcats' adidas Classic.
Davidson (1-2-1) struck first in the 34th minute when Brian McGue delivered a shot from just outside the 18-yard box into the back of the net for his first score of the season.
The score would remain the same until late in the match when Luke Blades fed Alec Rotunda to give the Wildcats a 2-0 advantage in the 79th minute.
Richmond (1-3-0) countered three minutes when Powell (Wilmington, Del./Providence College) took a shot top shelf past Wildcat goalkeeper Matt Pacifici to trim the lead to 2-1.
Freshman midfielder/forward Chris Hill (Howell, N.J./Howell) looked to even the score with less than two minutes to play, but Pacifici made the save to stymie Spiders' final threat.
Powell and junior midfielder/forward Michael Forsyth (Cary, N.C./Apex) led the Spiders with a pair of shots apiece, with both of Powell's shots struck on goal.
Sophomore Thomas Hand (Moorestown, N.J./Moorestown) went the distance for the Spiders in goal, finishing with five saves in the losing effort. Pacifici also secured five stops to record the win.
While Davidson held an overwhelming advantage in shots, only six of the team's 23 shots were on goal, whereas six of Richmond's seven attempts were on target on Saturday. Davidson came away with a 9-3 advantage in corner kicks as well.
The Spiders began to hit their offensive stride in the second half, outshooting the Wildcats by a 5-4 count while also leading 3-2 in corner kicks.
Richmond wraps up tournament play on Monday at 5 p.m. when it meets Appalachian State at the Wildcats' Alumni Stadium.

text: The hotel is modern and well-maintained. The rooms were clean and spacious. There was plenty of hot water and the beds were very comfortable. I wasn't interested in being close to the central plazas, so the hotel's location suited my needs - it was right off the highway and close to shopping centers. Although the fitness center is simple, there was a good treadmill for running. The pool area provides a quiet place to relax. I was given a room on the highway side. The traffic was not noisy but there is a bar next to the hotel that plays loud music at night. If you get a room, make sure it is located on the pool side. No other problems at all.

"It's a shame for him," Coach Mark Richt said. "Sometimes they say four, and it's three. Sometimes they say four, and it's six, we'll just see how he comes out of that surgery."
Bryant has yet to catch a pass this year. He was injured after taking a lateral from Matthew Stafford and trying to throw a pass to Knowshon Moreno. Bryant, who was in a large leg braces and on crutches Tuesday afternoon, was not available for comment Tuesday.
He has 22 catches for 393 yards in his career. If this injury lingers, he could be a candidate for a medical redshirt, but Richt doesn't expect that to happen, he said.
"I don't think so right now, but we'll see how it goes," he said. "He's going to graduate I think this spring so whether he would come back another year would be on him."

FTSE limps into weekend after G20 inaction
The blue-chip share index closed lower on Friday after global leaders failed to make firm progress on boosting the euro zone bailout fund, a key step in efforts to stem the region's debt crisis.
The FTSE 100 fell 18.48 points, or 0.3 percent, to 5,527.16, recording its first weekly loss since late September.
A G20 meeting in Cannes ended on a low note when German Chancellor Angela Merkel said hardly any of the participating countries had committed to contributing to the fund, while hopes the International Monetary Fund may come to the rescue were quashed by its head.
I am pretty disappointed. There was a lot of rhetoric but no decision, so there is still a lot of uncertainty as to what is going to happen, said Neil Marsh, a strategist at NewEdge.
Everyone is looking at the macro(economic situation) and the macro is Europe. Until that is clarified, caution is going to rule the day.
All eyes now turn to Athens, where Prime Minister George Papandreou faces a confidence vote on Friday evening. While the country's bailout deal was expected to go through, there remains strong concerns about the implementation of needed austerity cuts.
The FTSE had spiked higher mid-session on the back of U.S. data showing a fall in the unemployment rate.
A big upward revision to September's payrolls on both non-farm and private fronts helped increase investor appetite for risk, albeit briefly, Joshua Raymond, City Index's chief market strategist, said.
The weaker close was thanks to the lack of anything concrete out of the G20 meeting ... although there is not that much in it and the index is not making any major moves, the head of sales at a British brokerage said.
People are positioning with extreme caution, given how the market has been bouncing around and so inconsistent, he said, citing moves into defensives and cash as common themes. It is not a time for big position taking. sentiment is vulnerable.
That market structure was pushing out longs and shortening trade timeframes. Even hedge funds were being cautious as it was such an unpredictable outcome at the moment, the head of sales said.
Intraday technical charts confirmed the cautious mood. December FTSE futures were trading at 5,515 after hitting resistance at 5,592, Nicolas Suiffet at Trading Central said.
The 30-minute RSI is bearish but is holding above its horizontal support ... The configuration is mixed. A further consolidation is likely ahead of a new up leg, he said.
Earnings also proved mixed and a handful of positive results unable to overturn the broader negative sentiment.

Phone Tracker
If we think better, one of the most used word is GPS, because every one need to find something. Originally develeped only for military services, GPS reached to be used for a lot of things, like GPS Mobile Tracker.
Along research meant to develop the technology, people find another way to use this GPS, such how to locate a Mobile Phone, after called GPS Mobile Tracker. First just for some people, after word wide. This application have some versions: to locate a mobile phone, to spy devices, to control devices or to locate people. Now, you try to explain this interests.
Phone Tracker
First, GPS Phone Tracker is used to locate mobile phone. Almost all people lost their phone and try to locate and recover, but many a time they fail. This application is able to do that. Now, you if try to locate your phone, you can do this with this appilcation. The procedure is simple. All you have to do is to enter the Sim number phone or phone IMEI, in case you know, and wait for located. During the locating, GPS Mobile Phone will tell you exact dates: where is it, what time, even if they move. This version, actually all version have included Street View application. This combination establish a connection with satellites and offer you real – time image. So you can see every thing. In case you can not recover your mobile phone, you can block it forever. Until you do that, you must to fill out a form, to prove us that you are the phone owner. Person who steal your phone, can not unlock your mobile phone.
With GPS Mobile Tracker you can spy your own mobile phone. That' s where you locate your mobile phone and you can not recover. You can follow that person who steal your phone and you can aggravate his mobile using. Even if your SIM card out, GPS Mobile Tracker can detect the last devices that SIM card was included.
Another version, to spy devices is the most used. Why? Because everyone want to see what other people do with their phone. This version has various uses. In couples, one of partner try to spy the other one, but not just they. Distrust is a common thing. He or She try to see what the other do. Who sends messages, who call, FaceBook account, etc. Parents use this application to spy their kids, to protect them the danger that lurk. Virtual world is not so good. Children can be fooled easily. With GPS Mobile Tracker thay can protect their childrens. And, people who have not other occupation. When they need to find out some information about some persons, they use this application to spy them. Easy. When this GPS Mobile Tracker will install in that device, the victim does not know and will not even notice. Application will stay in Stand By mode until you shall start. So, you will se every thing that person will make.
Locate people version, it is also often used. If someone want to know your position, activate GPS Mobile Tracker and star to localization your position. Simple. Here, like the other verions, you have Street View. Even if is day or night, satellites can locate you and offer real – time images. Jealous people often use this application, because they want to check his partner.
Phone Tracker
This application can be used with internet connection or without internet connection. Preferably is to use this application without mobile data, because 3g waves can jam GPS Mobile Tracker process. Application can be used everywhere and can locate every thing who have GPS receiver.
The day when GPS technolgy appear, were going to change the world. This new technologies evolves everyday.
cell phone tracker
After the tests, seeing that the results were good, we introduced Street View feature. This option connects with satellites in the area, and provides accurate real – time image.
Let' s talk about spying. Although the name says is only for locate and help to navigate, GPS Phone Tracker can spy. Following the same process as the Tracker, I mean username, etc, you click on Spy option and GPS Mobile Tracker can infiltrate into the device. This process can take up to 10 minutes because the application seeps into the device and collect all the date to your device giving you absolute access. Once installed in their device, you can see everything. You see when they make a call, when write a message, you can listen the voice conversation and also you can change data in the mobile device. When the phone is locked, you can check everything without being seen. You can check FaceBook, Viber, Whatsapp.

Four Portland residents were part of the 11th season of the popular NBC television show 'The Biggest Loser,' which held its finale live Tuesday night from Hollywood.
Irene Alvarado, 26, a Portland State student and LaSalle High School alum, was one of three finalists.
During the dramatic weigh-ins as part of the finale, Alvarado weighed 139 pounds, or 116 less than when she walked on to the Biggest Loser Ranch at 255. But, her 45.49 percent weight loss came up just short among the three finalists.
Olivia Ward dropped 129 pounds, or 49.4 percent from an original 261 to win the show's $250,000 prize for being the biggest loser of weight. Her sister, Hannah Curlee, lost 120 pounds, or 48.39 percent from an original 248.
"This has been an incredible experience," Alvarado said, before the weigh-in. "Now I feel like I've been able to break through walls, let myself feel and be proud of what I've done."
Alvarado's mother, Ana Alvarado, who was sent home after the first week of competition, lost 109 pounds, weighing 146 after an original 255 (42.75 percent weight loss). "All but one week at home!" she exclaimed, of her weight loss.
The two other Portland residents also weighed-in. Arthur Wornum, the largest contestant ever in "Biggest Loser" history at 507 pounds, lost 163 pounds to finish at 344 or 32.15 percent. His father Jesse Wornum, weighed in at 210 pounds, 83 fewer than when he stepped on to the ranch at 293 (28.33 percent).
"It was easy," said Arthur, who originally weighed 646 pounds before beginning his weight-loss journey - so, it's 302 pounds lost. "This is my rebirth. Arthur is reborn now."
Said Jesse: "Look at my boy! Look at my boy! Look at me!"
Deni Hill won the "at-home" prize of $100,000, losing 125 pounds, or 48.83 percent of her original weight (256 down to 131).

Me, too. Since using it, I literally never have to use my Metro Gel anymore.
What symptoms did you have that caused the doc to put you on metro gel? my MD gave me the metro cream, but I don't like it and was thinking of asking her for the gel.
I ordered the toner from MUAC last night. It was shipped today, so I will probably get it tomorrow or wednesday...their shipping is really fast and I'm not too far away from where they're located.

Facts and Events
Lady Agnes Stewart was a 16th-century Scottish noblewoman and possibly a royal mistress. She was the paternal grandmother of James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, the third husband of Mary, Queen of Scots.
An illegitimate daughter of James Stewart, 1st Earl of Buchan (1442-1499) and his mistress Margaret, she was married thrice to members of the Scottish gentry, and had a relationship with James IV of Scotland, her half-first-cousin-once-removed. She may have been the mother of Lady Janet Stewart, an illegitimate daughter of James IV. Her father was the second son of Sir James Stewart, the Black Knight of Lorne, and Joan Beaufort, the dowager queen of Scotland. She had two legitimate half-siblings, Alexander Stewart, 2nd Earl of Buchan, and Lady Isobel Stewart of Buchan (who also may have been the king's mistress and the mother of Janet), and several full siblings including James Stewart, 1st Laird of Traquair (1480-1513).
Her first marriage, to Adam Hepburn, 2nd Earl of Bothwell, produced a son, Patrick. Secondly she married Alexander Home, 3rd Lord Home, and thirdly she married John Maxwell, 4th Lord Maxwell, one of the many Scottish nobles killed in the Battle of Flodden Field on 9 September 1513. They had at least eight children, one being Robert Maxwell, 5th Lord Maxwell, Regent of the Isle of Arran, Extraordinary Lord of Session, and one of the members of the council of Regency.
Lady Maxwell died in February, 1557

I went to the doctor's office yesterday to talk to her about a problem I've been having with my left thigh. I have been feeling a numbing and tingling pain in a localized spot for some time.
The doctor thinks I may have something called Meralgia Paresthetica (a big name for "numbing pain in thigh"). She is setting me up to see a neurologist next week, but she also sent home with me some information on this. As I was reading through this, I came across the following line:
In addition, middle-aged people between the ages of 40 and 60 are at a higher risk.
This hit me in a way I hadn't planned on. See, I'm 39. I'll be 40 very soon. Middle-aged? Me? When in the world did that happen?
Yes, I've been married for 15 years. I have two kids, one is over 10 years old. But that doesn't make me old does it? Sure, I've done a lot of things…I was in the Marines but that was only, uh, well, about 20 years ago. Oh boy. I know adults who were still in diapers when I was in the Marines. Am I really old?
When I turned 30, I remember thinking that was bad. After all, when I was a kid, 30 seemed ancient! But a few months ago, we had a guy start at our office who was 30 and my first thought was he was pretty young! When did my perspective change on that?
I don't feel 40. I still like to do goofy, childish things. I can relate to stuff my kids do. When my wife and I took them to DisneyWorld a few years ago, I probably had just as much fun as they did. And it wasn't that long ago that I remember going with friends of mine out into the woods to play a game of laser tag one night. That was less than 5 years ago.
40. I look at people who are 40 and they seem older than me. I have a hard time imagining myself as a 40-something. They say it's only a number and they are right. The problem is, it's a really big number!
There is a boy of 19 inside of me just screaming to get out. If he can only get past the dimming eyesight, sore knees and bad back, he'd be ready and raring to go!
NOTE: This was originally published by myself on my old HubPages account on 1/7/2009.

Anger from elderly as savings rates fall
By Kate Kelland
LONDON (Reuters) - Like many Britons of his generation, 66-year-old Ken Bibby is proud to have worked hard, watched his pennies and paid his way, but after 50 years saving for his old age, he says his prudence is being punished.
Sinking interest rates in the United States and across Europe are penalizing millions of the elderly who depend on savings for income to bolster state pensions, and who have also experienced rapid inflation.
As governments facing global recession focus on cutting interest rates to kick-start lending and spur consumer demand, some older people seeing interest income collapse are preparing to protest.
"We are absolutely determined to have our voice heard on this," said David Kippest, a 67-year-old pensioner activist who, like Bibby, has seen hundreds of pounds wiped off his savings income since October as interest rates fell to record lows.
"There is a movement beginning to take shape," said the representative of the National Pensioners' Convention, which he added was one of the strongest elements in that movement.
Britain is the country in Europe most keenly feeling the pain: the Bank of England has slashed Britain's base interest rate to just 1.5 percent from 5.0 percent in the past four months.
Retail banks have been swift to follow suit, with some cutting rates on instant access accounts to as low as 0.1 percent. Rates of up to 4 percent are still available, but only for those willing to lock their money up for defined periods.
Older people, who spend a significantly higher proportion of their funds on food and heat than the young, are still feeling the effects of rapid food and fuel price inflation from 2008. This can mean that in real terms their incomes fall sharply. Continued...

Chips and curry sauce FTW!
I'm member of the production team, working with the developers at Traveller's Tales and TT Fusion to make the games. I've always loved playing games of all sorts (video games, board games, pen and paper RPGs) and LEGO, so I really have a dream job!
"Rick" – people get my surname and forenames mixed up a lot!
Impossible to choose one, so I'll choose 2…
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4:
I loved how the game felt and played differently to all of the others. It was full of surprises and amazing things to build or transform with LEGO bricks.
LEGO Indiana Jones 2:
The different hub worlds, where all of Indy's adventures were jumbled together, were terrific fun. The game also allowed you to build your own levels, and even string them together to make your own world-spanning original Indiana Jones adventure!
Telling an exciting story, with amazing characters and incredible locations is the cornerstone of any good game. We're so incredibly lucky, as the LEGO games have allowed us to re-imagine some of the most popular and awesome worlds ever invented.

I still remember getting my first LEGO Space toy for Xmas; it was the Mobile Rocket Transport. I remember ignoring the instructions and building my own crazy ships and vehicles until well into the New Year, until a grown-up suggested trying to follow the instructions!
Also the first LEGO Star Wars set I bought as an adult Luke's Landspeeder is still on my desk at home!

COMBAT OUTPOST EDGERTON, Afghanistan — Afghan National Police in the Dand District, southern Kandahar, Afghanistan, got an inside look into the field of crime scene investigation during a partnered training event with the security forces assistance team with the 205th Military Police and Task Force Arctic Wolves, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division at the Dand District Center recently.
The purpose of the training event was to teach the local ANP the proper steps of basic evidence collection.
"This [CSI class] isn't what you're seeing on NCIS and CSI Miami," said Staff Sgt. Christopher Olguin, military policeman with the 205th MP SFA team in Dand, referring to the popular American crime scene television shows. "This is actual basic evidence collecting."
During the class, Olguin, a certified crime scene investigation instructor, taught ANP members the steps to securing, photographing, documenting and bagging evidence in a manner that doesn't compromise things like fingerprints and credibility.
"The goal is to get them to the point to where the CSI Kandahar team doesn't have to roll out to every single crime scene," Olguin said.
The local ANP teams are already displaying how valuable the training is to securing Dand District. According to Olguin there have already been reports of ANP successfully delivering usable evidence utilizing the skills learned through the course.
The Kandahar CSI team he said is "ecstatic that the team is able to keep the collected evidence safe."
As ecstatic as the Kandahar CSI team is, the ANP are even more excited to be learning the latest advanced techniques.
"I feel very good about the classes," said Nazamudin, a member of the ANP and Takhar Province native. "The training is very good and useful."
Individual specialized training, Olguin believes, is the final piece to ensuring ANSF professionalism and improved security continues.
"Getting into learning the law enforcement aspect of it, Olguin said 'is the stuff that's going to get us out of here sooner."
Although he acknowledges the ANP are well on their way to being self sufficient and independent he said the SFA teams will continue to check the progress made and provide support where it is needed.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is entering his seventh week of rehab on his once-fractured collarbone. He still hasn't been cleared to play, and he didn't offer many clues as to when he will play with his words during a Tuesday radio interview.
"Obviously there's strong opinions on what should happen, but the organization is going to do what's best by me, and I'm going to try to make (playing) at least a conversation (with the medical and football staffs)," Rodgers said.
"I think there has to be on some level the risk-reward conversation. You have to base that off the evidence you see on a (medical) scan, but also how I'm feeling. If I'm able to do normal football movements without pain, obviously that goes into the equation. A few weeks ago that wasn't even in the equation because I had pain. Last week I felt more like myself, I think the guys would say I looked like myself out there, and I knew I was closer."
Rodgers said he has hardly thrown since last Thursday's practice, but he hopes to feel stronger Wednesday after five more days of down time.
Fantasy Analysis:
Once again, Rodgers will go through practice on Wednesday, and we'll learn more about his status then. The Packers host the Steelers on Sunday, so Rodgers would have a pretty good matchup awaiting him if he finally does return this week.

According to a statement from the international institution, 24 billion CFA Francs will be spent on fighting AIDS and tuberculosis, while 16 billion will be reserved for fighting against malaria.
Togo's Planing and Development Minister Kossi Assimaidou made the announcement during a workshop in Lome to discuss subsidies from the Global Fund.
The workshop was meant to enable participants understand activities to be carried out using the funds, clarify the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders and analyse the main challenges as well as solutions.
The minister said the main objective of the Lome meeting was to reinforce capacities of those involved in implementing projects in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
He said significant progress had been achieved in the fight against malaria and tuberculosis, as well as against HIV/AIDS in Togo, where the prevalence rate fell from 3.4 percent in 2010 to 2.5 percent in 2014.
The minister further urged all actors to get involved in the fight to reduce the prevalence rate of the three diseases to the most possible minimum.
Speaking during the workshop, UN Development Programme Representative in Togo Khardiata Lo N'diaye said the country had made considerable efforts in recent years in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Enditem

You have a very nice portfolio. You earned it. Congratulations! Keep it up
Yes and people who have a lot of badges can be called badgers, wait what?
ha ha. good one
I really don't like when these new themes use fixed for thieir sidebar and I cannot see the full content of the sidebar. not good as far as I am concerned and I would not send out a resume with a layout like this. this would need to be changed before I would even consider using any of the current themes on sale.
You must consider that the viewer of your submitted resume may not appreciate the fancy layout as much as you do and certainly will miss some of your vital information if it is not displayed for them on your sidebar. Also to be considered is the potential screen resolution the employer may be using and that your resume better show up at its best on the worst screen resolution you can imagine.
I am sure most resumes would be printed but perhaps not depending on reaction to the HTML page they are able to view. If sending in a resume, you want to present yourself in the best light you can and a poorly functioning HTML resume won't help the situation.Al
al_m473 it is like you are talking about a Cv I just submitted for review Less than 800 px wide and with a more classical approach to the cv – more professional color scheme, a 1 column layout with clearly divided sections and subsections and a a nice matching print style sheet. Works in IE6 flawlessly too.
I like what the other authors have submitted but feel that some of the more traditional recruiters are expecting something else (format wise) when looking at a CV. I built my item with this thing in mind.
I really hope it gets accepted. Take a look at it when it does and let me know what you think
Yes if you submit new files through the Edit page it will go on a review queue.
From what I can tell it is a different one from the submission queue so it will be processed much faster.
You could send him an email directly with the new files while reviewers get to your update.
Congrats on your first sale! Keep it up
The things I would consider revising:
1. The Cu3er slider. Switch it with basically anything else. By now I think the reviewers are sick and tired of it as well.
2. The sub menu would probably look better if you didn't make the font style italic
3. The line just below the cu3er and the line that starts the footer stand out too much. maybe a softer color is better along with a bigger width
4. The arrow used for each item in the sidebar could be better
5. nicer social icons could be used – here is a nice free set http://jwloh.deviantart.com/art/Aquaticus-Social-91014249
6. the footer is too simple. You could consider expanding it into a 3 column footer followed by the copyright message. Some of the content from the sidebar could be moved in the footer like the About me, Social Media and the Stay up to date
7. get rid of the line separating the sidebar from the main content and find a way to delimit each sidebar widget
8. the Read More links could be styled to look like buttons
9. add some color to the template to lighten it up. For example the read more buttons mentioned above could change on hover to a nice color
10. use better pictures for the preview. since you design hasn't got much color some colorful pics would lighten it up and make it look more attractive. a good place to find nice pics is http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-2.0/
11. improve overall typography – here is a list of minimalistic tempaltes with excelent typography for inspiration – http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/wordpress/minimalistic-clean-free-wordpress-themes/ A minimalistic theme I really like – http://midmodesign.com/work/
I'm interested . But first I need to see a preview of the file as well.
A starting price for a page would be 30$ for the more basic ones and increases with the completxity.
Send me a PM with a link to the preview through my profile page if interested.
Just adding my 2Cents in..
#1. When you click on the Discussion link I noticed the 590×300 px preview image and Screenshots and Live Preview buttons disappear.
I really think they should be there as some people could find things confusing – meaning not knowing if it is still the same item or not.
Plus leaving it there also has the benefit of:
- making going to the Discussion page feels like just going to another Tab
- if the comments make you interested and want to see the preview / re see it you don't have to go to another page to see it
#2. I love danielku's second idea for the position of the author thumb and badges. Seeing the thumb of one of the more successful authors / a author you bought from before can tell you much about the file / be a guarantee for it;s quality.
#3. I'd love to see more items in the " More Items by author_name " section. 7 I think is to few … What could be done is move that section directly below "Collections that include this item". and make a 5 row x 3 columns section. And you have 15 items.
And if you have to leave it at 7:
- maybe show the authors more successful files
- if the author has files on more markets and someone is checking out themeforest.net then in the "more items by author" section only show files regarding that market
JeffreyWay I am not interested in the reviewer job ( as i don't meet the criteria) but I am curios what kind of files / applications will be suitable for the marketplace.
What I'm asking is some examples of what would be accepted and you think would sell?
Although it is intended for photography mainly I think this theme will suite you well if you want a minimalist design where the portfolio items are the focus:
Hi I need the above for a client. Does anyone have a template that will serve this purpose? Any recommendations? I need a template with sharp design and one that will stand out, and with good seo programming in mind. Thanks.
Hi gr8. As a matter of fact I have a personal trainer site available.
It is basically a 2 column template and the first page has a special design, different than that of the rest, and really stands out.
The template is: - valid xhtml 1.0 Transitional and css 2.0. - built on the Blueprint Css Framework - cross browser compatible - source code is nicely formatted and commented making modifying it easy - enhancements like IE6 png fix, lightbox, paypal buttons, contact form, flash gallery etc
Pages coded:
- front page - about page - personal training/ meal planning services page – has integration with paypal - gallery – a nice flash gallery - contact page – working contact form
If you are interested contact my through my profile page: http://themeforest.net/user/bitpub

It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Mr. Sherman for his work and expertise in the area of Labor Law and Workplace discrimination. He worked tirelessly on my behalf and I will forever be grateful for the education I received from him while working alongside him during a legal matter in which he defended my interests. Mr. Sherman is not only my lawyer, but my friend.

When we went to an arbitration, Larry swiftly negotiated a very favorable and fair outcome while avoiding the costs and headaches of going to trial. I believe that his exceptional skills, attention to detail and strong client connections are what set Larry apart and make him so successful.

Mr. Sherman has represented our Union for more than 30 years. During that time, he has assisted, and therefore educated, my Union on how to bargain for a better contract. He has won many more arbitrations for the Union than lost; the ones he lost can mostly be attributed to going against his advice. Mr. Sherman's best skill is in conflict resolution. Although not in his best interest, he'd much prefer to resolve issues amicably rather than going to the expense of litigation which he is very good at. He always responds to inquires and for assistance in a timely and helpful manner. He cares about what he's doing. He cares about employees. I full heartedly recommend Mr. Sherman for employment and labor law.
