If youre considering buying this theme just be warned.
I found the dummy content doesnt install properly, there are conflicts with the theme/plug ins, lots of errors when trying to do simple things such as change header sizes, font colours etc.
Support is really slow as well so im left trying to fix all the problems by myself. It says it's well documented as well but it doesnt explain all the settings you will encounter.
If I had the option for my money back i'd take it.
Sorry for the support time, we'll switch fultime on envato around mid august.
I've seen you've give us a 2 star rating, the theme works fine, most of our buyers have the exactly opposite opinion you have. Can you provide me the link to your ticket so I can personally attend to it?
Hi My rating is mainly from frustration as it hasnt been working properly since I bought it and all I want to do is get my work done. If it worked smoothly I would have no problem giving it 5 stars as it does look amazing and your demo works brilliantly.http://plusquare.ticksy.com/ticket/246097
What im finding now is that the theme is very slow to update colour changes & the border sizes. Ive looked at the server php which is 5.5 & everything else is up to date so I dont have a clue what the problem is!! I've tried editing in different browsers & viewing it on ipad and smart phone but to no avail.
Any luck finding the problem yet?
Our support guy already answered on Ticksy, sorry you're having troubles with it. Giving us feedback about what you're struggling with will help us improve the system. We'll be fulltime here on envato in around 2 months so we'll start to make some changes by then
I've been using for your theme quite some time, and I think it's great/beautiful. But I still get regularly told that the site is not visible in a IE browser. When loading the intro picture, the website freezes. Any idea why this happens and when this will be resolved.
With respect to the portfolios I want to made a few suggestions: - It would be interesting that you first will see the text and if you go over this the image is visible. So the opposite of today. - It would be interesting if it be possible to set a gap between the images in the portfolio overview.
Regards, Alain
Hi Alain,
Sorry for the delay, been out for a few days.
Thanks for your feedback, I've add those suggestions to our wishlist. As to the IE issue, we support IE9 or higher, does the issues occur in any of these?
I really love your theme. But, need to know my page layout options for blogs and individual posts, and how compatible the theme is with other plugins.
Can you please answer my questions on the previous page? I have been waiting a few days.
Replied above Sorry for the delay
Hey, Loving your theme!
Quick Question. I want to add a dark background to my site and I need to make the Header and Footer Background color transparent so it could blend well. Without this Transparency the image cuts out on the header and footer and it doesn't look too good!
What custom CSS should I add to make this happen. Maybe you could add this option to your next release.
Thanks so much
As to your problem, try something like:
#header #footer{ background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) !important; }
Hey Plusquare,
I've updated the essenza according to your update link. Now the theme doesn't load. How can we fix it?
Try disabling all the active plugins you might have and see if the error persists.
thanks. That worked out.
No problem
I've been waiting to hear back about adding Ads in the sidebar. If I can't change the size of the sidebar, how can I fit the standard Ad 300×250?
What about your slide in sidebar you have on your website as mentioned above? Is there a way to add it to fit the Ads?
What about related posts? Do you have any widgets for related posts after the post?
You have the option to create a sidebar in the page builder that is nothing more than a column, although you wouldn't have the fixed size of 300, since it is a responsive layout you should think in a responsive solution as well.
Cheers and sorry for the delay
Hi all!
We'll be unavailable till 13th of August, we'll try to reply to everyone by then.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We are waiting for you back here.
1) Buttons are not showing in Demo and not adding to new pages – https://yadi.sk/i/9KP2wyrSYsK4p
2) There are no navigation arrows in portfolio items footer – https://yadi.sk/i/XIEvno_5YsK6S
3) Some icons are not showing – https://yadi.sk/i/vaDtko-SYsK3F
4) Contact form in footer is not showing – https://yadi.sk/i/INRwgVgzYsK5b
Can you create a support ticket for this on our ticksy? If you have already done so, what's your ticket ID? Then I'll pass that on to our support person. Thanks.
Yes. I will do this a bit later today and let you know. Thank you.
Hello again! Ticket #258844. Waiting for your help. Thank you.
So when there will be an answer?
There is a new interface in support system, online notifications were turned off. I received reply thanks.
Hi, I posted this multiple times in the support page and haven't heard back.
I've tried multiple contact forms (including contact form 7 with the datepicker fix) and every single time it causes the navigation menu on mobile/responsive to not work.
This issue has been brought up and unaddressed besides a standard "I'll forward to developers" response for 3 months, which is inexcusable.
Please help.
This is getting ridiculous.
Hi timinyli. As you can read, Bruno the developer is on holiday until the 13th. After coming back, he will work fulltime on TF. Issues will e looked into directly. Until that time, please can you send me your ticksy ticket ID? I'll ask our support help to respond to you asap. Thank you for your patience.
Sorry, I wasn't notified they were on holidays. The ticksy ID is #210573.
I have a question on sliders: http://themeforest.net/item/essenza-responsive-grid-portfolio-theme/full_screen_preview/5796249
Is possible to make such an parallax effect when the background is moving slower (faster) then foregroud?
Hi Tomas, TF support is out until the 13th. We will get back to you afterwards asap. Thank you for your patience .
I like the theme and want to buy it, but i'm not sure about the support and flexibility of the theme, after reading all 830 comments.
I can imagine. As a team we have been very busy the past half year finishing our studies. Luckily, we will be working fulltime on plusquare from next week onwards. Support will be much more consistent from that moment onwards. What flexibility limitations are you afraid of?
Okay. One last question before i make a decision. I really like the Creative Demo, however, i don't like the borders around the content. For example, i would like to have a fullscreen slider, and have the header and footer blocks overlay on top of the slider. Can I accomplish that with Essenza? Thank you!
You can get rid of the left and right border and the footer, however, the top header should remain .
Purchased…so wish me luck!! lol
Thanks! Let me know if you struggle with anything.
Ok, I'm using the tabs shortcode and trying to add the heading tags to the tab's tittle, whenever i do that, the contents inside the tab disappear. If i remove the heading tag, the tabs act normal again. I really don't want to create custom css for this. Is it a bug and how to fix it?
Strange, can you provide me a link to it? Or create a ticket at http://plusquare.ticksy.com/ so we can help you better, provide us some wp credentials if you do.
This theme looks promising and full of options. But … I have noticed a very annoying bug/possible huge problem, while navigating the demo with my mobile phone (Android, using the default browser app). The header is not fixed, it moves up and down every time I make a scroll. The issue doesn't happen using Chrome.
Take a look:
screen 1 > http://it.tinypic.com/r/hu3cj5/8
screen 2 > http://it.tinypic.com/r/10ic7xc/8
screen 3 > http://it.tinypic.com/r/wc0f0j/8
screen 4 > http://it.tinypic.com/r/s33ivd/8Could this issue be fixed managing some of the template dedicated settings? Anyway, while inspecting the page code with Chrome desktop, I noticed that the
already has the
position: fixed
I really would like to buy this theme and run it for a client project but I have to be sure the header behavior is not a major issue … can you give a reply about this? Thanks.
Bruno will be back on the 13th and reply to your question. Thank you for your patience .
Suddenly I can's view my website – http://www.stickandsteam.com
Getting this error – This is a modern site which require a more recent browser to work properly. Please upgrade now!
Just tested on 3 new browsers – Chrome, Firefox and Safari – Same error -
What's going on here?
Can you please create a ticket for your issue on our ticksy? Thanks.
hi.. i've been working with your template for a while and i was wondering…. is there a way to reduce the horizontal and vertical space between the columns in the masonry display? i don't want to modify the number of columns i just want them to be closer to each other. i'd like to do it… no matter if I have to manipulate the php or the js… with a little guidance i know i'll be able to…
i want it to be like this…http://chromeography.com/ or maybe look closer, but i want to work with the same 4 columns
thanks in advance
I believe you can change that spacing by only changing css. There is a margin value you can change to increase or decrease those spacings. By the way can't see your purchased tag
Hi! The menu (left menu with General settings, Font settings and so on) in theme settings is no longer working? Is this an issue with 3.9.2? Do you have a solution?
Its actually more things that doesn't work. Nothing happens when i click on the "choose image" when adding a single image to a post.
That means there's a javascript error. Try disabling all your plugins and see if the error persists.
Hello, how do I put images of the Page Builder – Gallery Images Descending order "DESC" automatically?
You can order manually the images you choose for the gallery images module only, if I understood your question well. By descending you mean by date?
Hello, Yes I need to order the images displayed in the gallery pages, where the most recent date. When it comes to a large number of images, it is unfeasible to use the drag feature to the page builder to sort the images.
Thank you
That's a very good suggestion indeed, as it currently isn't possible. We'll add it to the wishlist.
I really like the look of this theme. I have a few questions though:
1). Is there an easy way to customize the overall colour scheme to be a bit lighter? When I mouseover an item on the grid, the whole grid darkens with a dark overlay except for the image I'm hovered over. In addition to that, the info box with the text that shows up next to the active image on the grid has a black background. Is it possible to make it a white overlay overtop of the grid and info box with a white background without too much coding?
2). Is there an option to have the list of projects in the grid broken into several pages rather than lazy loading the items when scrolled to the bottom? I find this really annoying when there are a lot of projects and I scroll to a project farther down, only to be brought back up to the very top when I am done looking at the project and press back.
Thanks in advance
Well answering to your questions: yes and no.
Pretty most all colors in the template are customizable so 1) is doable by only changing an option in the admin area.
As to the 2) unfortunately there isn't such option, it is an interesting feature though, will add it to the wishlist.
Cheers and sorry for the delay!
Hi. Need to add polish letters in Open sans. How can I do that.
You need to check if Open Sans supports polish letters on google fonts site. If it does, you can select it on the template customizer under font options.
let me know what you got
Ticket #265445
I have created a list of problems I have with Essenza. When we were talking about my previous ticket I had a lot of questions from you about things are already described in ticket txt. So this time it is 8 pages with screenshots and descriptions. And I will be very appreciated guys if when we will discuss it you will not ask me where I see problems and how I was testing Essenza.
Thank you.
Hello! My post and ticket were on August 15. Today is 18. This story lasts and lasts. You guys told us that you back on 13 and will answer on 15 for sure. But there is nothing. When I finally can expect that someone fix problems?!
Still no one with help.
Probably if problems will not solve I will write to Envato support about all this situation from the beginning. I am sure they are faster.
I've extended my vacations a bit more, we'll be attending all issues and we'll be fulltime on envato from 1st september onwards. We ask only a bit more of patience and we're really sorry you're having troubles. We do wan't to make the perfect product, and we're switching to fulltime on envato just for that.
Happy for you that you have nice vacation. Sorry, I have to wait to September 1st when you even start working on all those things?
We've worked on a few things out already, from 1st Sept. onwards yes we'll have the time needed to make the product even better.
Unfortunately can only say you this right now, hope you understand our position, believe me it were some well deserved vacations
You need to make working product first, then you can talk about making it better. There is no trust to you anymore, next time we shall talk on other level, through Envato support. Hope you will enjoy this as much as your vacation
So nice of you
The product works, the product is great, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. It might have some glitches here and there but nothing worth that treatment from your part. We have hundreds of happy customers, you got unlucky to catch me on my vacations. If you're here to be disrespectful no help will come from this side. I'm sorry.
Have a good day.
You are a great teacher in be disrespectful after all discussions here. Let me remind you that you called me liar, when there was your bug, allowed yourself to say "you're buying a template that took a year to develop for 45$ and still complaining". After all your "support" it is 5 months (!) and your product is not working. But as I told you there are more competent people here who will be informed about situation.
Have a nice day too
Never called you a liar ok no point in talking to you, if your willing to calm down and speak to me later I'll be glad to help, as I've always done. If not go ahead and speak to the envato staff, have no problem with it. Your problems will be solved for sure
Thanks I have no problem anymore – I use theme that really works unlike to Essenza. But your problem is only coming See ya soon
Well if you still would like to use essenza, drop me an email so we can resolve this and the issues you're having. If not then I'm really sorry for this situation from our part, we want to be able to give good support to everyone and specially a good product. We'll still take your feedback in account either way and check the problems you've mentioned.
Thank you, I am taking your apologies. I took time to calm down so now I am ready to say I am sorry too.
Let's be constructive. When all those issues will be fixed? Is there any date to count on?
Let's put your site rolling then, will follow your case closely. Can't checkout the link of your essenza installation, can you install it again, and give me some wordpress credentials so i can check somethings out? On Ticket: http://plusquare.ticksy.com/ticket/265445
Thank you too I will do all correct this time – wll install Essenza again and create a new ticket. That ticket is a bad thing )
Great, thanks for reseting it for us. We won't disappoint you
I hope so
Ticket #277729
Thank you. Hoping for productive work with you.

Some 18 year old was juicing from the age of 16, he is dead now ... i think the sad think about this story is he didnt even look in great shape for all his efforts. Always worth seeking guidance with AAS.
Its a Daily mail story so its going to be shit. It doesnt show his sycle or abuse , doesnt really say much , much like every story from the daily mail. I dont even think it was the AAS that killed him , probably already had a heart condition that no one spotted.
anyway , very sad indeed.

Sew,Mama,Sew!: What project(s) do you have in the book?
Ellen: A Candy Cone to hang on the tree and fill with treats, stacked Holiday Trees made from felted sweaters and Snowflake Coasters made with a cut-out design in thick felt.
SMS: What do you like about working with felt? Do you work with felt a lot?
Ellen: I enjoy working with felt and these days prefer the thicker 2mm felt, which gives the project a sturdy quality.
SMS: Do you have any Christmas or holiday-related tutorials on your own site you'd like to share?
Ellen: I made a simple striped sweater stocking last year that I shared on my blog.
Ellen's Simple Striped Sweater Stocking.

SMS: How about a must-do holiday project or gift that you return to, year after year?

SMS: Would you like to share a favorite memory related to your holiday crafting or family traditions?

|Fireworks at our local park, July 4, 2010.
|Violet puts the finishing touches on her deviled eggs.
She and my mom had a great time cooking together and they told me they made "special deviled eggs for Grandpa"... the ones with lots of paprika.
We had a very traditional Fourth of July Sunday dinner... Dad grilled hamburgers, mom made potato salad, and Violet made her "famous" deviled eggs. It reminded me of the Fourth of July meals from my childhood. It was also the best kind of Sunday dinner. Lots of family, not too much work, and everyone had a fun time. And to make it even more special, we got to watch Violet enjoy her first fireworks display. (In previous years she's said "they're too LOUD!")
Happy Fourth of July!
|Violet's first attempt at deviled eggs. Delicious!

Javier has his own weekly show called Ask Javi.
Javier is also well known for his work writing and producing episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
Javier has even produced several episodes of Charmed.
Other than Javier's comic Middleman he also has another comic called Super-Skrull which is written for the company Marvel Comics.
Javier's favorite author is Philip K. Dick.
Javier went to Ann Arbor High School in Michigan which happens to be the home of "Michigan State University".
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: My favorite author is Philip K. Dick. his troubled, messed-up mind may be the most fun place to visit in the universe.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: Not everybody is a primetime television writer and I don't mean that in a condescending way, it's a profession but I think that writing is a great creative outlet, even if you're not a writer professionally.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: To me, more than any story, the real accomplishment of season two is that we've worked up to and expanded upon season one.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach (referring to Lost): One of the things a lot of people expect when you have as good a first year as we did, is for there to be a decline in the quality of the show, or the writing, or the conceptual ability of the show.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach (referring to Lost): This year has been an extraordinary season.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to the characters on "Lost") They are going to be in a very difficult situation that's strange even by "Lost" standards.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "Lost") By the time we start the third season there's going to be a lot of 'entangling' that the characters will have become a part of.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "Lost") To stay strong for the second year has been incredibly satisfying, an I'm sad to let it go, but hopefully I will be involved in some other stuff that's equally wonderful, so I'm excited about the future.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: "The Pretender" was a really great show, I genuinely believe that. It's a cosmic injustice that it's not still on.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "The Chronicle") A show that I loved, more than anything I've done in my life. It was the most fun that I've ever had.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "The Pretender") I learned how to make characters who are only there for one episode likable, with some depth.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "Charmed") I kept pitching the tentacle buffalo monkey episode. They just didn't want to do it, I don't know why. Ray fights the tentacle buffalo monkey! Who wouldn't pay to see that?
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: I don't think that the level of success of sci-fi is any different now from what it was in the 80s. I think that because of the Internet and fandom, people who like it are able to band together and keep shows on the air longer.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to science fiction) It's a genre for people who like to think, it's a genre of ideas, it's a genre that tends to be very intelligent and have cool flights of fancy.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "lost") Personally, if I were stuck on some deserted island, I'd probably prefer to be stuck with a bunch of geeks.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "boomtown") I can't believe they hired me. Let's see, we're gonna do a hard-edged cop show, let's hire a guy who did "Charmed."
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: I was your typical chubby kid nerd and I'd sit around and draw things and eventually there are only so many nice things you can draw, you have to start drawing creepy things. You get bored of drawing nice things.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to his comic "Middleman") It is crucial that the characters be believable and lovable, that the danger be real and the villains present a true threat.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: You wind up learning as much in failure as you do in success. But learning from success is better than learning from failure.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: There's nothing to be not grateful or excited about.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "Middleman", Javier's comic) It's an absolute and complete labor of love.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: (referring to "Lost") I'm sad that I have to leave this behind.

There are a large number of people who enjoy the hobby of attracting and feeding birds in their own gardens. Apart from the provision of bird food, bird watchers also need to be aware of how they can make their garden a safe place for visiting birds. However, not all of these people are aware of the many overlooked matters that can have a massive effect on the number of birds that visit your garden and their health.
For instance, most people tend to simply scatter the bird seeds on their lawns. While this is definitely a great way to attract birds, it is not exactly the best way. There is never a guarantee that the birds will always finish their daily allocation of wild bird seed. Sometimes, they will leave some uneaten seeds behind. If you serve your seeds on the ground, the uneaten seeds will accumulate over time and create a mess that will eventually drive the birds away. So, what is the solution? Bird feeders come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes that will allow you to serve any kind of bird seed or other food without having to worry about leftovers putrefying your lawn.
While bird feeders are a great way to serve your bird food in style, unless they are kept clean, they also have a possibility of becoming a breeding ground for all sorts of contagions. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that you clean your bird feeders at least once a week to make sure that your feathery friends are safe from disease. In addition, always remembering to place your bird feeders well above the ground is a good way of ensuring the safety of your bird visitors as well as the food you serve them.
While placing food will definitely attract birds, if you can provide some water for them to drink and to clean themselves, that will also be highly appreciated by regularly visiting birds. Installing a bird bath would be an ideal solution to allow the birds to drink and bathe in your own yard. However, bird baths are also capable of spreading disease. This is why you should also pay attention to keeping them clean and filled with fresh water at all times.

Improved Outlook for NY's Credit Rating
A major credit rating service has issued a more optimistic view of New York's future, which could eventually boost its credit rating. Standard & Poor's revised its outlook for New York to "positive" from "stable" on Monday.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said this revised outlook reflects "the state of the state's budget is fundamentally stronger than it has been, and more rational than it has been."
During a conference call with the governor, State Budget Director Robert Megna said if the state stays on this path, it could expect a AA+ rating, just one notch below AAA.
"We're obviously very pleased with this change to our outlook and view it as a validation by an unbiased financial observer of the many reforms that the governor has put in place, and a reflection that new york is on the right fiscal path," he said.
The governor stressed that he was very pleased with the change. "We made the necessary changes that we needed to make to prove that this state had a track record of fiscal responsibility," he said, "It's what we promisted the people in the election, and I believe it's what we brought to the state."
New York's double-A rating on general debt and double-A minus rating on debt secured by legislative appropriations remained unchanged.
The ratings agency says more fiscally conservative, structurally sound budgets in the last two years show New York appears to be on the right track.
During those two years, Cuomo, the Senate's Republican majority and the Assembly's Democratic majority agreed to reduce and then hold the line on spending. They also adopted a so-called "millionaire tax" expected to generate $2 billion and increased public college tuition.
Tax revenues have slowly, if tentatively, improved since the recession.
Menga also noted that S&P pointed out that Standards& Poor also noted that reforms in the areas of schools, Medicaid and pensions were also reasons for the better outlook.

Common last-minute tax errors and how to avoid them
What does preparing your taxes have in common with getting a nose job? Both are a lot less painful if they're done right the first time.
Sponsored Links
This year, though, there are myriad possibilities for tax-filing errors that are more than cosmetic. Sure, you could file an amended return, but that takes time, not to mention money if you have to pay someone to do it.
One of the most effective ways to avoid costly errors is to make sure you dig out a copy of last year's tax return before you tackle your taxes. There are numerous items on the 2011 tax return that could be affected by information from previous year's returns, says Bob Scharin, senior tax analyst for Thomson Reuters.
COLUMN: Pay taxes with credit card? Fees may eat rewards
COLUMN: Strategies cut risk of overpaying your tax preparer
COLUMN: Protect yourself as scams spring up during tax season
Here's a look at some potential blunders that could cause you problems long after April 17:
•Failing to report a non-deductible contribution to a traditional individual retirement account. If you contributed to a non-deductible IRA last year, you may think it's not the IRS' concern, since the money you're saving is after-tax. But failing to report the contribution will create problems for you when you withdraw the money, because you'll need to prove to the IRS that the money was already taxed, says Tim Steffen, director of financial planning for Baird's Private Wealth Management group.
To avoid that hassle, you should report your contribution to a non-deductible IRA on Form 8606. "That's a form that's often missed," Steffen says. If you fail to file the form for the year you made the contribution, the IRS will permit you to file it later, but it will charge you a $50 penalty, he says.
Until recently, non-deductible IRAs had fallen out of favor, but a law that took effect in 2010 has given them a new lease on life.
Tax tips and advice
USA TODAY's personal finance reporters offer help for the tax season.
The law lifted income restrictions on Roth IRA conversions, allowing high-income taxpayers to convert to a Roth for the first time.
Since the law didn't change income restrictions on Roth contributions, a lot of high-income investors have adopted a back-door strategy: They open a non-deductible IRA, then turn around and convert it to a Roth.
•Failing to report income from a 2010 conversion. When you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth, you have to pay taxes on any pretax contributions and gains. IRA owners who converted to a Roth in 2010 were given the option of splitting income from the conversion between 2011 and 2012.
Lots of people took advantage of that one-time deal, but now, it's time to pay up. Don't expect your IRA provider to send you a reminder, Steffen says. Your IRA provider only knows that you converted to a Roth in 2010, which it reported to the IRS. It doesn't know what you decided to do about the tax bill.
If you're using the same accountant or tax software you used last year, this shouldn't be a problem. But taxpayers who do their returns manually or have switched to a new preparer this year need to make sure they have their 2010 return close at hand. The amount of income deferred will show up on Form 8606.
•Leaving unused losses on the table. Some investors with taxable portfolios still have losses left over from 2008, when the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 38.5%. There's a reason for those leftover losses: Once you've offset any gains, you can only deduct up to $3,000 in losses from your ordinary income each year.
Latest tax news
Get all the latest news and information on paying your federal taxes.
However, losses that exceed the cut-off can be carried over to future years, Scharin says, which is another reason it's important to review last year's tax return. You can deploy unused losses to offset any capital gains you realized in 2011. If you had no gains, you can deduct up to $3,000 from your ordinary income.
•Claiming an energy-efficient credit that you've already exhausted. For 2011, taxpayers are eligible to claim a tax credit of up to $500 for energy-efficient home improvements, such as insulation, new windows, air conditioners and heat pumps.
However, you must first subtract any energy-efficient credits claimed since 2006, Scharin says. If you claimed $500 or more, you'll have to be satisfied with lower energy bills, because you're ineligible for the tax credit.
To avoid last-minute tax-filing errors, make sure you have these records:
•Social Security numbers for you, your spouse and dependents
•Wages and earnings statements, such as W-2s, 1099-R
•Interest and dividend statements from banks, brokerage firms, etc.
•A copy of last year's tax return
•Bank routing and account numbers (for direct deposit of refund or withdrawal of payment to IRS)
•The amount you paid for child care and your child care provider's tax identification number
•Receipts for charitable contributions

Kind of split on this one. My Dad was unable to find another job in automotive design. He was on unemployment, actively seeking new jobs, and was unable to find any. He'll be 62 this year. Not exactly the age where you can easily switch things up, take classes or whatever to get a different job. Because of his heart and back he was able to go on Social Security Disability.
If you're single with low amounts of debt and responsibilities, it's pretty easy to change gears to do something else. When you have a house, married, kids, etc. it's not easy to go into more debt by starting an education for something else. Even if you go try and find a job at a retail outlet, you probably won't get a full time position and the hours you want.
There needs to be a limit for it, and there will always be people that will take advantage of the system. There needs to be better screening for it so people aren't doing that. There are people that truly need help, and no matter what they do they may not be able to find a job. Sooner or later the lifeline needs to be cut.

There is much in the way of microbial activity that is taking place in one of the world's most poisonous dumps, which turns out to be cleaning up the place.
Take the 150-foot-high garbage dump in Colombia, South America. Soon it may have life as a public park thanks to work from researchers at the University of Illinois and The National University of Colombia in Medellin, who are demonstrating that bacteria in the dump can neutralize numerous contaminants in the soil.

A New London man uncovered a $10,000 prize on a Missouri Lottery "Lifetime Riches" Scratchers ticket two days after his 63rd birthday. Daniel "Danny" St. John said he only bought one Scratchers ticket at Ayerco, 1208 Mark Twain in Hannibal, on April 18. When he scratched it later at home, he was surprised to see it was worth $10,000.
"They were out of the ticket I wanted, so I bought that one (Lifetime Riches)," he said.
St. John, who is retired, said he plans to use his prize money to buy his sister and brother-in-law a new couch, and sent some money to his two granddaughters for their savings accounts. He said he may also go to Vermont, where he used to live, this to visit some friends.
"Lifetime Riches," a $10 game, officially began on April 22, 2006.

Syracuse Zone is Good, Not Unbeatable
Michigan was asked extensively about Syracuse's length and how to attack their vaunted 2-3 zone. Michigan has played against length before in Ohio State although they played man to man against the Wolverines Michigan was successful.
Michigan has dissected zone defenses all year… Florida being the most recent example. While none of those opponents possess the Orange's size or commitment to playing zone the entire game, it's not ridiculous to think the Wolverines could enjoy similar success. Syracuse does a great job with its zone, but there are some effective ways Michigan can break the zone.
First off Michigan has to be patient and not be in a hurry to get a shot off. Against Florida they had any shot they wanted just by taking their time on offense.
Flashing Tim Hardaway Jr., Mitch McGary, or Glenn Robinson to the middle to put pressure on the zone. The Wolverines must do a good job exploiting that area of the floor, as it is an inherent weakness in Syracuse's defense. Once there they must be aggressive and smart in how they attack. Indiana was rendered inept because Cody Zeller was not a triple threat in the middle. His shots were consistently blocked, he couldn't put the ball on the floor, and he was an ineffective passer. Michigan's players must be better.
Last, capitalize on transition opportunities, but if it is not there bring it out and run the offense. And remember, the only way to get that running game going is to get stops.
The Players
This team just does not seem in awe of the moment, and I believe there are a few reasons for that. The first is they are young and there was no pressure on them to be here at all. Second, I really believe playing in the best conference in America prepared them for this moment. Literally every conference game was important, they were ranked #1 in the country at one point, and the coverage resulting from those things provided enough the spotlight to prepare them for what they're seeing at the Final Four.
Watching them out on the floor at practice yesterday they didn't seem to have a care in the world. The guys were just happy to be doing something they love. They were laughing, teasing and trying to outdo each other in shooting drills just like they have been doing all year. Trey Burke is not even fazed by all the attention and awards he has received. What is clear with this young man is he genuinely enjoys being with his teammates.
The other part that sticks out is there's not one player who is bigger than the team. They all treat each other as equals. This team is having fun on the biggest stage and it is not getting to them one bit.
Going Pro?
For the last week there has been consistent talk about Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway going pro. Tim was asked about the twitter rumor that spawned all the talk and it was clear he was not too pleased to take about it.
"I just think it is distraction and that's what it is," said Hardaway. "We don't know where that came from because we never said it and for that to come out now is just a distraction."
With successful teams these things pop out all the time, but I think they are handling things very well. Those questions well be answered after the season but first things first and that is the Orangemen of Syracuse.
Jeff Meyer
Michigan walked off the floor from practicing yesterday and Coach Jeff Meyer had stayed behind to do some more work. There were a few friends that wanted to say hi and take a couple of photos with him. Coach stood there and smiled for at least a dozen pictures. He wanted to share the moment with them. He had the type of smile of pure happiness and appreciation it was fun to watch.
It's just another example of what a genuinely good guy he is. He has been asked questions again and again about the whole Tom Crean deal. He could talk about how wrong Crean was, but Meyer always takes the conversation in another direction. To call out the childish outburst for what it was is not his style, but class certainly is.
Trash talking
Generally players are spoken to over and over again about what to say and how to say it whent talking to the media. The plan as always is NOT to give the other team bulletin board material. It has been well publicized by now that Brandon Triche either did NOT get the memo.
"We played against Kemba Walker and held him to 8 points and I don't see Burke being that much better then Walker".
"I think we have mismatches at every position".
Those are just a few of the quotes he had about Michigan. Tim Hardaway was asked about those quotes in his press conference by Rod Beard of the Detroit News and the junior guard clearly took exception to the disrespect shown towards his teammates.
"It doesn't matter what he thinks or anybody (else)," Hardaway responded. "We still have to go out there and play the game."
The facial expression Tim gave was one of whatever we will see about that when we get out on the floor. Now I don't have a problem with trash talking because at the end of the day if you need bulletin board material to get you going, then you shouldn't be on this stage. BUT, those are words can come back too haunt you.
Triche has given the Wolverines a little extra motivation and at the same time put a little pressure on himself and his teammates. When the ball is thrown up I am sure some may think about his comments but when the game gets going basketball skills and coaching will win this game not Brandon Triche words.
For the video interview with Tim Hardaway Jr., press play below.

Just received my Protoscrew shield. I was real disappointed to find no solder pads between screw terminals and arduino pins. I don't mind cutting a trace to insert needed circuitry but I want a clean way to solder the the new circuitry in.
Adding any circuitry to this board will be a kludge, a real disappointment for a proto board,

From HaskellWiki
|import Control.Monad
The MonadPlus class is defined like this:
class (Monad m) => MonadPlus m where mzero :: m a mplus :: m a -> m a -> m a
The precise set of rules that MonadPlus should obey is not agreed upon.
- Monoid — mplus and mzero form a monoid:
mplus mzero a = a mplus a mzero = a mplus (mplus a b) c = mplus a (mplus b c)
- Left Zero — mzero is a left zero for >>=:
mzero >>= k = mzero
- Left Distribution:
mplus a b >>= k = mplus (a >>= k) (b >>= k)
- Left Catch — this is rarely advocated, but Maybe and IO satisfy this as an alternative to Left Distribution.
mplus (return a) b = return a
1 Which satisfies what?
[] satisfies Monoid, Left Zero, and Left Distribution.
Maybe, IO and STM satisfy Monoid, Left Zero, and Left Catch.
2 Which rules?
Martin & Gibbons choose Monoid, Left Zero, and Left Distribution. This makes [] a MonadPlus, but not Maybe or IO.
3 What should be done?
It is proposed that the class be separated into MonadZero, MonadPlus, MonadOr. See MonadPlus reform proposal.

There is good news for chocolate lovers: new research indicates that chocolate could be considered a "superfood," joining the ranks of blueberries and broccoli. It can even fight tooth decay.
Chocolate is produced from cacao, which contains powerful concentrations of polyphenols, flavonoids, and antibacterial properties.
Researchers stress that these benefits apply only to dark chocolate – not milk chocolate – and the higher the natural concentration of cacao, the better.
Some health benefits of chocolate as a superfood are:
Fight tooth decay
• Because of cacao's antibacterial properties, dark chocolate may significantly reduce the incidence of plaque, bacteria, and tooth decay.
Better cardiovascular health
• Cacao is rich in polyphenols, a molecule that can significantly improve cardiovascular health by increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide, which leads to improvements in blood pressure, insulin resistance, and blood lipid levels.
Lower risk of diabetes
• Thanks again topolyphenols, researchers found that individuals who consumed about 40g of dark chocolate daily cut their risk of developing diabetes in half.
Lower body fat percentage
• Antioxidants indark chocolate reduce inflammation and help alleviate the production of thestress hormones that would otherwise cause weight gain.
Improve mental well-being
• Cacao can promote feelings of calm, clarity, and bliss by stimulating the production of phenethylamine while regulating serotonin.
Other benefits include increased mental clarity and improved management of stress.

[MAKING A LIST] For the time being at least, Caleb Porter won't be leaving the University of Akron for MLS's D.C. United. Only four coaches have left college jobs to take heading coaching positions in MLS. Two of them haven't done too badly, winning four MLS titles and taking teams to the final eight times.

1996, Bruce Arena (Virginia to D.C. United).
-- Won MLS titles in 1996 and 1997 and
also led D.C. to MLS Cup '98. Returned to MLS Cup with the Galaxy in 2009.
1997, John Kowalski (Robert Morris to Tampa Bay)
-- Kowalski had
made a name for himself in the national team program and was hired to replace Thomas Rongen, who left for New England after MLS's first year. After leaving the
Mutiny in 1999, Kowalski returned home to Pittsburgh, where he coached the A-League Riverhounds. He's now the Robert Morris women's coach.
1999, Sigi
Schmid (UCLA to Los Angeles).

March 2007
We started at Ngare Sero for the first night and as my guests had traveled a great distance with time zone differences of many hours I decided to let them enjoy an easy start by relaxing that first morning and driving up to Plantation lodge after lunch. The next day it was up at 5; 30 am and into the crater before heading for Olakira Camp at Ndutu. Our 5 nights there were wonderful and the Ndutu area at its best.
Again March is an off season pleasure. I have been promoting the March-May and the November-Christmas periods for years as I firmly believe that these supposed off season times are excellent.
I had warned my first time guests from Newport California that the Ngorongoro Crater and Ndutu could be busy but we would get away from it all at Piaya. I had convinced them to invest 5 nights at Ndutu - something that first time safari goers find difficult to understand, but to their credit they agreed and were very glad that we did. Ndutu was extraordinary. But also unexpected was the massive drop in visitor numbers compared with the safari I led here in February. We saw only 20 other vehicles in the crater and had a lot of the Ndutu experiences to ourselves.
We then drove up to Suyan Camp at Piaya for a fascinating few days. I depict a few imagines of the Suyan experience below as this is the last visit to Piaya for this season. Our camps move in April, maintenance and relocation work is already ongoing. Piaya moves north to the Soit Sambu area for June, Olakira moves to central Serengeti and Sayari South moves back up to enlarge the Sayari Mara Camp. Our private mobile camp have already headed back to Arusha for repairs and upgrading.
It's been a challenging season with heavy rains and sometimes difficult conditions but that's Africa and I love it each and every year-no matter what the conditions. Try these off season times- you just might like it! I have a short but sweet last safari before a two and a half month gap in my safari schedule.
Time to sort out the paperwork - I suppose!! And watch the end of a very nerve racking football season.

text: Im very surprised that I had beaten down an RX 7 series 6 the other day, Im not sure if it was a series 6 for sure but it certainly didnt look like the series 4 or 5. Anyways, I thought I was gonna get cleaned up coz I have a completely stock REX, but I managed to pull off a huge start in 1st and then I changed to second to quickly actually, and I was in second all the way till I redlined it and then into 3rd. I was pretty much about 2-3 car lenths infront the whole way until about halfway through third gear where the RX7 just caught up to me in seconds, thats where it ended. I really thought the series 6 could take me on pants down, maybe I overestimated the power of rotary.

Feb. 18, 2013
Complete Release | Buy Tickets | Schedule | Season Stats
Colorado State vs. Air Force | Game 23
Colorado State (8-15, 4-6 MW) is back home, looking to avenge a loss from earlier this season, vs. UNLV (10-15, 6-5) Wednesday. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. MT at Moby Arena.
The Lady Rebels are traveling to Fort Collins following a big road loss at San Diego State on Sunday, 86-50. UNLV is in fourth place in the conference standings, two games ahead of CSU.
With the return of two-time all-conference selection, Sam Martin, and the reigning Mountain West Sixth Player of the Year, Meghan Heimstra, the Rams will look to improve upon last season's 13-17 record. Sophomore Ladeyah Forte leads Colorado State from the point guard position. She finished second in assist-to-turnover ratio in the MW in her rookie year.
The game will be broadcast live on AM 1410 KIIX. Matt Wozniak, now in his fourth season with the Rams, calls all the action. Live game video will also be available for all non-televised home contests via Rams All-Access subscription on CSURams.com, and for the first time, fans will be able to listen to every Rams' game for free on Rams All-Access.
Scouting Report on UNLV
- UNLV's best statistic in MW play is its three-point percentage defense, allowing opponents a 26.7 percent conversion rate, which leads the conference. The Rebels are second in the league at the other end of the court in three-point percentage, at .357.
- The Lady Rebels top scorer is Kelli Thompson, who leads the Mountain West in conference play with 20.5 points per game. Danielle Miller is second on the team with 10.9.
- The top two scores vs. the Rams in their first meeting, Briana Charles and Alana Cesarz, are out for the rest of the season with a fractured hand and a torn ACL, respectively. Freshman forward Rejane Verin has replaced Cesarz in the starting lineup improving her scoring to 7.4, and her rebounds to a team-high 7.0 per contest in league play.
- UNLV has won four of its past six games, including road wins over Nevada and New Mexico.
- The Rebels were up 18-14 over the Aztecs in the early goings Sunday, but with only eight players dressed, UNLV couldn't keep up with San Diego State, falling 86-50 in San Diego. Thompson was the game's leading scorer with 28 points.
- Thompson is averaging 24.8 points over the past five contests for the Lady Rebels. She scored a career-high 33 vs. Boise State on Feb. 2.
Series vs. the Lady Rebels
- Wednesday's meeting between Colorado State and UNLV will be the 38th game between the two schools.
- The Rams are 21-16 vs. the Rebels overall with a 12-5 record in Fort Collins.
- Despite a current two-game skid in the series, Colorado State has won seven of the past 10 matchups.
- CSU is on a four-game win streak over UNLV at home. The Rams haven't lost to the Rebels in Moby Arena since Feb. 9, 2008.
- This is Head Coach Ryun Williams second contest vs. UNLV, with an 0-1 record in his career. Until this season, Williams had never played against any team in the MW, aside from CSU.
A win will...
- Allow the Rams a chance to move into a tie for fifth place in the conference standings with New Mexico. The Rams are currently in sixth.
- Improve the Rams' record against the Rebels to 22-16 all-time and 13-5 in Fort Collins.
- Push CSU's record over .500 at home this year. Colorado State has been at or below .500 at Moby since Dec. 20.
Last time at UNLV (Jan. 20)
A solid start turned into frantic play as Colorado State lost on the road to UNLV, 63-50, at Cox Pavilion.
Colorado State fell to 1-2 in Mountain West play and 5-11 overall. The Rebels improved to 2-2 in the MW and 6-13 on the year.
CSU opened the game on a 7-0 run, besting its 6-0 run to begin the previous game at Air Force, but the Rams weren't able to keep the lead this time, as UNLV took over with nine minutes left in the first frame.
The Rebels' Briana Charles, a sophomore, made the first, second and third three-pointers of her career in the first 20 minutes of play. She ended the afternoon with a career-high 16 points, topping her previous personal best of six, shooting a perfect 1.000 percent.
Where Charles left off, junior Rmanjii Haynes took over. Haynes shot 3-of-4 from beyond the arc for 11 points, both career highs. UNLV, which had previously made six three-pointers on two occasions this season, obliterated that mark with 12 on the afternoon.
Colorado State committed 15 turnovers in the first stanza, leading to 18 UNLV points, en route to a season-high 23 turnovers for the game.
Freshman Caitlin Duffy tallied her fourth consecutive game in double figures with a team-high 17 points. Meghan Heimstra added 12 points, shooting a .800 percentage from the field.
The Rams went the same starting five from the last contest: Duffy, Thompson, Nichols, Martin and Heimstra.
Up Next
Colorado State is back on the road for a tough stretch at New Mexico and Fresno State. The Lobos are one spot ahead of the Rams in fifth place in the league standings at 5-6, with a 13-11 mark overall. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. MT.

Review on the Tactical Battle System
Now that the new Troy patch is released in Atlantica, new changes and features have been added into the game. Let's take a look in one of the new features of the game.
The Tactical Battle System or TBS is a new gameplay feature added to Atlantica Online. Although the original turn-based party gameplay still remains, some new dungeons will implement the TBS. The gameplay has the mix of turn-based classic RPG battles and the grid movement style from strategy games, in short, it's like you're playing Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea but online.
The gameplay is simple and players who tried strategy based RPGs will have no trouble getting into the new gameplay. Every player's turn, they can move their characters to any area within their movement range, if there's an enemy within their range, they can attack. The difference with the original gameplay is that all of your characters can perform an action every turn. Attack range varies depending on the character, i.e. Archers have a wide attack range while Gunners have unique "line" attack range and Cannoneers cannot attack close range targets.
And if you are not into strategy based grid battles, you're in for a big surprise, unlike in the orginal gameplay of AO, your non-melee characters are open from enemy attacks and if you are not careful, you can be wiped out in just one or two turns and only melee characters can use the guard command, so you have to place your non-melee characters in a safe position away from enemies, good thing that even if your main character dies, the battle won't end until your whole party is eliminated, so it's best advice is to bring oracles and shamans into your team as they can revive dead characters by healing them.
If you manage to eliminate all of your enemies or completed all the objectives on the mission, you'll get tons of experience points and items and experience points will be distributed to your mercenaries even if they didn't particpated in battle like by attacking opponents.
There are TBS missions that require a Squad before you can participate. You can have up to two mercenaries in your team depending on the mission and there are different levels of TBS mission suitable for mid level and high level players.You can open a TBS mission at Hissarlik Hill.
If you are into single player battles, there're the TBS skirmish dungeons. These dungeons are like your typical dungeons, but the difference is that whenever you encounter an enemy, you can battle them in TBS mode. You can acces the TBS skirmish dungeons from different locations such as the Sea Palace Courtyard, Ant Tunnel, Valley of the Kings, Detroit City and many others.
The TBS is indeed a welcome addition not does it just gives the players a new kind of gameplay but also gives the game a new twist to the MMO industry.

I would recommend doing a factory order. It takes about six weeks but you can get all the options you want and none of what you don't. I ordered the base with the spoiler, fogs, short throw, spt boost, footwell illum, and all weather mats.
I recently just picked up my 13' WRX. It was a base with the short throw shifter, all weather mats, and the compass rear view mirror with dimmer. (Too bad it wasnt Homelink)
If you are going to go with any options you have to be sure not to void your warranty. ANY part that is not SPT and installed at the dealer will most likely void your warranty. Be sure to check before you do anything.
I do recommend ordering one if you can, that way you get exactly what you want. (Color, options, ETC). Although some of the options are not super expensive, they can add up. Be sure to know your price, MSRP is a SUGGESTED price. The dealership will be able to work with you. I was able to knock $75/month off my payment and cut my interest rate in half by being persistant.

OAK BLUFFS, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama and his family are heading to the wealthy island resort of Martha's Vineyard for a three-week vacation starting Saturday, a near-annual ritual that islanders say is a boon to local business even if it comes with added hassles during what's typically the busiest tourist month of the year.
Local business owners — particularly those who own the restaurants, ice cream shops and book stores the family frequents — look forward to the buzz that comes from the family visiting their stores. Regular summertime residents say they've come to accept the traffic headaches that a presidential motorcade brings.
But shorter-term visitors and day trippers are less than enthused about the prospect of spending their limited time on the island navigating detours or sitting in traffic.

Red Bull Arena
Key facts
Club: FC Red Bull Salzburg | Opening: 2003 | Capacity: 30,188
History and description
The Red Bull Arena got built between 2001 and 2003. It opened on 8 March 2003 with a match between SV Wüstenrot Salzburg and FC Kärnten. The stadium could initially hold 18,250 spectators.
After the take-over of the club by Red Bull in 2005, the name of the stadium was changed to Red Bull Arena, and in 2006 works began to enlarge the stadium to a capacity suitable for the European Championships that were to be held inAustria. The first match at the expanded stadium was played against Arsenal on the 25th of July 2007.
The Red Bull Arena hosted three group matches during Euro 2008, during which it got temporarily renamed Stadion Salzburg Wals-Siezenheim
The stadium was initially planned to be converted back to its original capacity as this was promised to local residents, however after the tournament the club's management decided to remain with the larger stadium instead. After a long trajectory with protests and lawsuits of local residents and environmentalists, the club was finally allowed to keep the stadium in its current state.
There are two more stadiums that carry the name Red Bull Arena, both also occupied by Red Bull-owned clubs. One stands in Leipzig, and the other in New Jersey.
How to get to the Red Bull Arena
The Red Bull Arena is located in the west of Salzburg, approximately 4.5 kilometres from Salzburg's historic city centre and at a similar distance from the main railway station (Hauptbahnhof).
The stadium lies adjacent to the A1 motorway. Take exit 293 toward Kleßheim. On matchdays the club offers a shuttle service to the stadium from Salzburg's conference centre (Messezentrum), further north along the A1.
If arriving by public transport, the Red Bull Arena can be reached with O-Bus 1 from the main railway station. Take the bus in the direction of Kleßheim Kavalierhaus. The ride takes about half an hour and on matchdays transport is free if in the possession of a match ticket.
Buses run every 20 minutes and pass through the historic centre at the Ferdinand Hanusch Platz.
Address: Stadionstraße 2, 5071 Salzburg
Eat, drink, and sleep near the Red Bull Arena
The Red Bull Arena is located on an office, retail, and industry park next to the A1 motorway. If gambling is your thing, you might be thrilled to have the Casino Salzburg in the picturesque Schloss Klessheim castle next door, but options for eating and drinking are limited around the arena, which is best done in Salzburg's splendid historic centre.
There are two hotels close to the Red Bull Arena somewhat up the road in the Siezenheim village, both not more than 15 minutes walking away: Landgasthof Allerberger and Hotel Gasthof Kamml. Click here for an overview of the hotels near the Red Bull Arena.
Most people will decide to stay more central in or near Salzburg's city centre though, where there are plenty of options.
Red Bull Salzburg Tickets
Tickets for Salzburg matches can be bought online, at the Ticketing Center at the stadium, at any branch of the Raiffeisen bank, or any of the other points of sale, of which the Ticket Service at the Mozartplatz 5 in Salzburg's historic centre may be the most useful.
Tickets for a standing place cost €16.00, whereas the price for a seat ranges from €18.00 for the lower-tier corner sections to €32.00 for the upper-tier long sides. Tickets for the matches against Rapid Wien, Scholz Grödig, and Austria Wien cost €4.00 more, while tickets are €2.00 cheaper if bought in advance.
For more information call +43 (0) 820 820 102 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Red Bull Arena stadium tours
Red Bull Salzburg offer guided stadium tours that include visits to the changing rooms, players' tunnel, press centre and VIP areas. The tours last about 90 minutes.
Tours run every Saturday at 10:00am except matchdays.
Tours can be booked through the online form, or at the Ticketing & Service Center at the stadium. Bookings are required and need to be made at least the Wednesday before the tour.
The tours costs €4.00. For more information contact email@example.com.
