Best Practices, LLC is a rapidly-growing business research and Internet content provider. Based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, our firm is a leader in the field of best practice performance improvement. Our clients include Fortune 500 companies and worldwide corporations. The work environment is fast-paced and intellectually exciting. We're always interested in top-notch performers.
If you are a student looking for an internship in the field of research & consulting, marketing, publishing or sales, view our internship openings in the job openings section.
Our Corporate Culture
We hope you like working in teams, because you'll be doing quite a bit of it. Of course, you'll hear that from a lot of companies, but not many can offer this statistic: at Best Practices, LLC, nearly 100% of the work you do will be in the context of a team. It makes working here both exciting and challenging, especially considering our flat company structure. In other words, we don't have a lot of org charts and reporting systems around here. Most of the time, you'll be on teams with other Associates. Everyone will have different talents, interests, and opinions on "the way things should be." Sometimes you'll be "leading" a project, and other times you'll simply be a "team member." Either way, you'll learn very quickly how to work with other people to meet objectives and solve problems, without the crutch of authority. And that's great preparation for the rest of your life.
Our office environment is open. There aren't many walls or doors. If you have a great idea, you don't need to schedule a meeting two weeks in advance to discuss it. Red tape is not a factor. Of course, with this autonomy comes some responsibility. Finger-pointing is not an art we practice. You learn quickly that as soon as you think of something that needs changing or improving, it's your responsibility to move it forward. That doesn't mean you have to do everything by yourself, but it does mean that the "THEY" that haunt corporate America (as in, "Why don't "THEY" fix the payroll system?") thankfully have no office space at Best Practices, LLC.
We will not impose limits on your creativity -- or your ability to have fun. You don't have to wear a suit to the office, there's always soda and popcorn available, and people have been known to walk around in their socks or blast '80's tunes if the situation calls for it. You will have the chance to help companies fundamentally improve the way they do business, and we are confident that you will also improve our own operations along the way. Although we can't tell you what to expect every day you're here, we can assure you that the work you do will always be challenging and rewarding. And that's what a truly great job can offer.
A Day in the Life at Our Company
It's really amazing how many jobs can sound wonderful on paper. After all, you went to a good school, you like people, and you enjoy challenge. So every consulting position that emphasizes teamwork, analysis, writing, and communication skills sounds like it's right up your alley. But the question remains -- What will I actually be doing?
Here's an idea. We hate to call this a typical "day in the life...," because you'll quickly discover that at Best Practices, LLC, typical days simply don't exist. In fact, that's one of the reasons you'll want to give us some serious thought. After all, you could spend the next two years of your life doing research to support someone else's projects. But we don't think that would be the best use of your skills and talents.
Business Research Analyst Position
Best Practices, LLC seeks business analysts for its thriving firm in the field of best practice performance improvement.
We provide advisory services (in the form of consulting, research, published reports, research databases, and membership services) for Fortune 500 companies and Global 2000 organizations, with a core focus on companies in the healthcare industry.
Associates at Best Practices, LLC can expect extensive client exposure, significant project responsibilities and opportunities for project management and business development. Talented new hires will be rewarded with rapid advancement and compensation increases based on individual contributions and company performance.
Bachelor's or Master's degree, business major, business journalism or economics preferred. Experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, medical devices and health care industries is beneficial.
Applicants must have excellent written and verbal communication skills; possess strong, proven quantitative and analytical skills; enjoy performing original client research; and work comfortably in a rapidly changing, flexible work environment.
Applicants must be comfortable working on computers (the primary software programs include Microsoft Word, MS Excel, PowerPoint, and CRM databases — knowing these specific programs is not as important as being comfortable and able to learn to use them quickly).
Total compensation depends on directly relevant previous experience. 401K retirement plan, health, dental, and vision benefits are also included.
Application Requirements:
If you are interested in a position with our company, please send:
(1) A r�sum�,
(2) A cover letter describing why you are interested in this job and what you are seeking in a future employer,
(3) Three references for you, and
(4) Work samples that can include writing and presentation samples relating to business topics and/or a sample of in-depth quantitative and qualitative analyses performed.
Please e-mail responses

If you want to work in a fast-growing company that is pay-for-performance driven, then this may be a great opportunity for you.
Our sales professionals work with mid-level to senior executives in the health sector.

First, it started raining and raining and then about 4:00 this evening as the temperature dropped it turned to sleet and ice. The wind is blowing like crazy. I think snow is expected to fall the rest of the night.
I'm thinking about my police officer son who goes on duty at 11:00 tonight and works till morning. While I am all warm and snug in my bed, he's out there driving the slick streets.
Hope everyone is having a good evening making memories with their family and friends on this Christmas Eve. Keep life simple. Faith, Family, Friends!
Goodnight all!

We are The Freshwater Land Trust, a nonprofit organization whose mission is the acquisition and stewardship of lands that enhance water quality and preserve open space. Since 1996, we have worked to acquire, conserve, and connect lands that are critical for the protection of rivers and streams and that provide recreational opportunities for the community.
We own and manage more than 5,000 acres, making us one of the largest owners of private nature preserves in the state of Alabama. With our many partners, we have helped protect more than 10,000 acres throughout Central Alabama.
The Freshwater Land Trust is based in Birmingham, Alabama and works to preserve the places that matter in Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Walker and Tuscaloosa counties. We are nationally accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, a mark of distinction that indicates we meet national standards of excellence, uphold the public trust and ensure conservation efforts are permanent. With a dedicated Board of Directors and trained staff, we are well equipped to use our extensive conservation toolbox to assist landowners interested in preserving their land's conservation values, such as family farms and working forests, scenic views, historical sites, public recreation, and natural habitats for rare plants and animals.
How we help
The Freshwater Land Trust is proud of our non-advocacy, businesslike approach to our conservation efforts. We work with governments, corporations, and private landowners to find win-win solutions that protect the land and the interests of the landowner and allow our community to grow economically.
We protect land through a number of different methods. The most common conservation tools we use are (1) land acquisition and (2) conervation easements. But, some of our most successful projects are secured not through acquisition or easements, but through partnerships. Red MountainPark, a 1,108-acre (and growing) tract of land that stretches 4.5 miles along Red Mountain in southwestern Jefferson County, was created through a terrific partnership of many different individuals and organizations. Read the exciting story of Red Mountain Park here.
Continuing a successful history
In 1924, the nationally renowned landscape architecture firm of Olmsted Brothers developed a park and natural areas plan for Birmingham and the surrounding areas. At that time, community leaders failed to implement the plan largely due to a lack of dedicated funding for the project. Many of the areas that the Olmsted Brothers recommended to be preserved as green space have since been developed. The Freshwater Land Trust is working to bring part of the original Olmsted Plan back to life and to create a network of connected spaces throughout north-central Alabama.
You can help
It is our hope that our generation will be remembered as the one who restored our rivers and made land conservation a priority. There are ways you can help .You can donate your time or resources to the Freshwater Land Trust.

The Sacramentality of Critique and its Challenge to Christian Educators
by Michael Warren
No current Talk conversations about this book.
As a process of self-reflection motivated by an interest in emancipation, critique or critical thinking suggests a habit of approaching reality from more than one angle, of asking questions that often do not get asked. Three key terms of critical thinking are described and applied to a strategy for empowering youth to address social problems from a Gospel perspective.

Easements address the problem of individuals who need access to property that they do not own. Purposes for an easement may vary and provide the categories of easement. One such type of easement is a drainage easement.
A drainage easement is a type of easement that allows access to a certain piece of property for the expressed purpose of maintaining drainage. This kind of easement is usually attached to the deed and title of the property since this carries over any transfer of ownership. The access is given to an independent, third-party in order for such a party to maintain drainage in the area. Such parties usually involve a municipality.
A drainage easement does not just include access to the property, but may also involve the placement of a drain that links to a main drainage system or a more ambiguous statement may infer this by allowing a runoff to flow without impediment across the property.
If a drainage easement is placed upon a private property, the maintenance of such an easement is the responsibility of the party that requested for the easement, which is usually the local government unit. Thus, if a drain or culvert that has been installed within the area of private property, it is the responsibility of the municipality to repair any damage or replace it whenever necessary. However, the owners of the property also have the responsibility of preventing any actions that may damage the easement. This includes preventing any attempt to regrade the soil or build any type of structure that may impede the runoff flow.

By Dianne Cornish, REVIEW STAFF

The Zellers store at the Flamborough Power Centre will close September 15 in preparation for its conversion into a Target store, with the new store opening next March or April.

Store manager Carl Hipkiss confirmed the closure date this week. When asked about the disposition of staff resulting from the change, he said, "There is an encouragement for staff to apply at Target."

Last week, Target Canada announced the opening lineup of its first 125 stores in Canada and the Clapisson's Corners site was among five new Hamilton stores that will open next year. A Target store will open in Centre Mall on Barton Street about the same time as the Clappison's Corners outlet, while additional stores will open next summer at Ancaster Meadowlands, Stoney Creek's Queenston Place, and South Hamilton Square. No specific dates have been identified for the openings.

There will also be two Target stories opening in Burlington next spring, one at the Millcroft Centre and the other at Burlington Mall.

The U.S.-based discount retailer entered the Canadian marketplace by buying the leases to 220 Zellers stores from HBC for $1.82 billion in January 2011. The company plans to spend $10 million on remodeling each store and will employ about 200 people in each location. Each site will be closed for six to nine months to allow for renovations and recruitment of staff has already begun.

Announcements of further store openings for 2014 will be made this fall.

WELL, Jack fin'ly joined the King's army and went off to the wars. He fought first in one country and then in another, and did pretty well. He served thirty years, and then they told him they reckoned he'd pulled his term and he could go on back home. So they gave him his dis-charge, and Jack hit the road.
Now, back in them days soldiers didn't get no pay, and all they gave a man when he left the army was two loaves of bread. Jack I was a-walkin' on the highway with those loaves of lightbread stuck under his arm when he met up with a beggar, and the beggar he bummed Jack for somethin' to eat, so Jack gave him one of his loaves of bread. Then directly he met an old man with a long gray beard, and he asked Jack for some bread. Jack cut the other loaf in two and gave the old feller half of it and went on.
But he got to studyin' about that 'fore he'd gone very far, and then he turned back and caught up with the old man, says "Daddy, I didn't do you right. I gave another man a whole low and I didn't give you but a half a one. Here's the rest of the loaf."
The old man thanked Jack, says, "Well, now, you're all right, Jack, and here's something I'm goin' to give you." He handed Jack a sack he had across his arm, says, "If ever you want to catch anything, you take this sack and hold it open with one hand and slap it with the other'n, and say,
'Whickety whack!.
Into my sack!'
and it'll get right in this sack for ye."
Then he took a little vial out of his pocket and gave that to Jack, says, "Now, this little glass will tell you whether somebody who's sick will die or get well. All you got to do is fill it up with clear spring water and look through it. If you see Death standin' at the foot of the bed, that person'll get well, but if Death is waitin' at the head of the bed, you'll know they're about to die."
" Whickty Whack!
and it'll get right in this sack for ye."
Next day Jack went on, and about twelve he passed by a big fine house
near the road, looked like nobody lived there. The yard was growed up in
weeds and there wasn't no curtains in the windows, and Jack got to wonderin'
about such a good house bein' empty. Met a boy in the road directly and
the boy told Jack the was ha'nted. Jack asked who did the place belong
to and the boy told him. So Jack went down to that man's house and got
to talkin' to him about it.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
PUPPY ADOPTIONS at
Petsmart at Coconut Point in Estero
Saturdays 11am - 4pm
check for availability, call 239-290-2485
or email firstname.lastname@example.com
CAT & DOG ADOPTIONS by appointment
PUPPY ADOPTIONS $85 each, 2nd puppy free
all puppies have had a physical, fecal test,
spay/neuter & at least 1st set of shots depending
on age
puppies over 16 wks of age are completely vetted, heartworm negative , with all shots
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Fine Arts
The Fine Arts play a prominent role within the Byron Center Public Schools district. Students take music and art classes as part of our curriculum, and are also encouraged to participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities to further develop their creative talents. In support of the arts within our schools and community, the district opened the Van Singel Fine Arts Center in 1998, one of the first of its kind in the nation.
Visual and Performing Arts
Curricular and co-curricular opportunities include music, choir, visual arts and Suzuki violin lessons in the elementary grades. Intermediate students have art, choir and beginning orchestra available within their school day at 5th grade. By 6th grade, our curriculum allows students to take choir, orchestra, or first year band in addition to an exploratory visual art class. Choir, orchestra, band, and the visual arts continue to be available in the 7th and 8th grades of Middle School as well.
High school offers an abundance of opportunities for students to grow in the arts ranging from the visual arts (i.e. 2D and 3D Art/Design, Illustration, Sculpture, Pottery, Drawing/Painting, Audio-Video I/II, Computer Graphics I/II, and Advanced Media), to the performing arts (i.e. Women's Chorus, Concert Choir, Vocal Expressions , Theatre Arts I-IV, Marching Band, Jazz Band, and Orchestra). To support our fine arts course offerings, BCHS offers many art studios, a photography dark room, a recording studio, a television studio, a band room, a choir room, a theatre, an art gallery, rehearsal rooms and ancillary rooms. Our students' appreciation for the arts is reflected in the fact that 84 percent of our high school student body is involved in the fine arts program.
Students shine on stage at the Van Singel Fine Arts Center more than 50 times each school year. These student productions and activities include youth from Byron Center Public Schools, Byron Center Christian Schools, and out-of district students. This is the same stage graced by the likes of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Dick Van Patten of the Sunshine Boys, Rita Collidge, The Lettermen, Branford Marsalis and Ed Asner. Hundreds more students are also exposed to a variety of professional shows attending productions from the Grand Rapids Circle Presents, touring off-Broadway production workshops, and the United State Air Force Band to name just a few.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:05am
Surely every college lacrosse fan has seen one of Inside Lacrosse's signature events in person or on television. Since 2007, IL has been executing unparalleled, blow-out days of lacrosse such as the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic, Konica Minolta Big City Classic, Whitman's Sampler Mile High Classic, and Day of Rivals. In fact, more than 263,000 fans have witnessed these IL Experiences live in NFL stadiums. Now fans can take home one-of-a-kind memorabilia from Inside Lacrosse Experiences to decorate your dorm room, man cave, office or bedroom wall.
Inside Lacrosse has partnered with SidelineSwap.com to launch the IL Yard Sale. The store will feature collector's items from all the biggest events of the college lacrosse regular season. Remember seeing that gigantic, oversized banner with an eight-foot tall, high-resolution, color photo of your favorite player and thinking how cool it would be to have it? Well, now it can be yours through the IL Yard Sale.
Depending on the item, there will be one of two ways to snag the memorabilia. Some products will be weekly auction items available to the highest bidder, while others will be available for purchase immediately. Be sure to check the IL Yard Sale store in the coming weeks for additional auctions, as well as first-to-purchase items that will appear. You never know what might be up for sale next.
To kick things off, this week's auction item is a 20-foot long by 4-foot high welcome sign from the 2009 Face-Off Classic. The thin, vinyl banner hung behind the front desk in the Princeton team hotel, and features the old event logo and star players from each of the four participating teams: Princeton (Mark Kovler), Johns Hopkins (Paul Rabil), Maryland (Max Ritz) and Duke (Zack Greer). You may have heard of some of those guys. The message, "Welcome to Baltimore for the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic" is written along the bottom of the sign.
Happy hunting. Visit SidelineSwap.com to check out the IL Yard Sale store. Go directly to the IL Yard Sale store here.

over the weekend I paid $420 OTD for this model 66-2 with 2 sets of grips and a speedloader. Do you think I got a good deal?
It doesnt matter how small or big your gun is if you dont know how to shoot it accurately.
dont know about the price, but it sure looks nice
to me. heres to happy and safe shooting. enjoy

Ahhh...a friend from the S&W forum! Love those 66 snubbies!
Somone posted in another thread "It just followed me home". In all honesty, whatever gun purchase you made is a "good deal". Now hear me out. I feel ( now this is speculation and my own opinion) that you purchase a certain gun for a reason. It felt right in your hand, the sights felt right etc.. Therefore you purchased it. I have paid more for a gun then I could've gotten on let's say Gunbroker for the simple reason "it just felt right". I own the same model and would bet my life if I had to use it.
Gunbroker says you paid a fair price...a + with the wooden grips?Niiiiiice!
Stay armed...stay safe!

I'd say you did well. Not great but well. Very nice looking roundgun.
Stay safe and enjoy.
I had a 66-5 for several years, they're excellent guns. The K-frame guns are recommended for only occasional magnum load shooting so try to do most of your practice sessions with .38spl and maybe a cylinder or two of .357 magnum, then use whichever caliber you wish for carry.
One thing to watch for on the K-frame is flame cutting, if the previous owner fired excessive magnum rounds. Open the cylinder and inspect the sharp corner where the top strap meets the front of the frame. I had my 66 for several years and went through maybe 50 to 75 rounds of full house magnums, the rest was factory .38spl loads and I never had a problem with flame cutting, end shake or timing issues. It's not really a major issue, just something you should be aware of.
Congratulations on a beautiful revolver.
I'd say that you paid a fair price for the S&W 66 snubby. I have two of these, both bought directly from prior owners. The 2.5 inch barrel model shown below was $300 about 3 years ago. And I am currently buying one for $500 with the 3 inch barrel, in excellent condition. These model 66 snubbies have really gone up in price recently, especially the prelock models. If you look on Gunbroker you see that dealers are pricing them at $500 to $600 now. The 4 and 6 inch barrel versions aren't quite as high as the snubbies.
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty's Teeth." - George Washington
Seems like a decent deal. I would have bought it. I'm currently looking for something similar. I sold my 642 about a year back. I couldn't shoot it to save my life. I have a 586 and I shoot it very well. I'm looking for a small wheel gun to complement my G27 as an IWB daily carry. I need something heavier than the 642 and preferably .357 mag. Any chance you'd consider selling it? Just kidding....hang on to it. You've got a nice handgun there.
Oh yea...I paid $323 out the door for my 4" 586 but I got one of those "right place right time" kinda deals. The shop I bought it from had it mismarked and I bought it off the owner's wife who didn't have a clue about what it was worth. He later told me that had I not bought it he'd have raised the price $100.
I like it. It makes a much better concealed carry .357 Magnum than do the shrunken J-Frame .357s.

The way most regulators work is they adjust the spring pressure on the backside of the diaphram sooooo. Get a bar clamp as long as the filter, your gonna use this to squeeze the regulator. Take a 16mm or so size socket and center it on the end of the regulator, on the other end take a piece of wood 2X4 and drill 2 holes in it where the two hose connections need to stick through cause you DON'T want the press on the end of the hose connections. Jig this contraption up in the car with a pressure gauge on the outlet end and fire up the pump, or you can just cycle the key to kick it on. Crank in on the bar clamp and watch the pressure rise
I know this sounds like an accident waiting to happen but it really works and if its worth it to you I have found that with a straight through design muffler a little pressure helps, I run my 330 at 60psi. But with stock exhaust any more pressure and its wayy too rich.
What you did, raising the fuel pressure, was a complete waste of time and money. By raising the fuel pressure, you richened up the mixture. The ECU will detect this richer mixture (via the oxygen sensors during closed loop operation) and adapt to it (lambda adaption will be negative, ie, it's pulling fuel out). The net result, after lambda adaption settles, is the EXACT same fueling and mixture that you had with the stock fuel pressure regulator.

Women's Health Handbook P2: The 30's
It can be difficult to make the time to really monitor your health. We spoke to the experts, putting together your "Women's Health Handbook." Tonight TV20's Corrie Lovette shows us how to navigate a time when many women are struggling to find a balance-- the 30's.
Take a deep breath...It seems easy.
"Sounds good."
But finding the time to stop, take a breath and focus on 'you' is a major struggle for women.
"I'm really not a good patient at all."
36-year-old Young Mueller is balancing family life and a full time job, with a 3-year-old daughter keeping her schedule packed.
"I just think about work, getting home, dinner, husband, kid, baths, showers.. okay, bedtime, and then next thing you know a year's gone by," Young Mueller (36-years-old) said.
Mueller knows what to do-- self breast exams, visiting the doctor each year, eating right and exercising, but staying fit hasn't been a priority until the last few years.
"Never really exercised. Now I'm finding, especially after I had my first child, it's hard to lose the weight," Young Mueller said.
If not before, weight is an issue most women begin struggling with in their 30's. Mueller is also considering having another child.
"In the past, most women had their children very young, but there's a lot of women delaying fertility," Michael Cotter (OBGYN Physician) said.
After the age of 35, women do have increased risks with pregnancy, but Dr. Sheyna Carrocio points out that when a woman has a healthy body mass index, the risks can be managed more easily.
"I think you're very close to your ideal body weight. Some women have completed their child bearing years and now are grappling with heavy periods or deciding they want to limit their fertility with permanent sterilization," Sheyna Carroccio (OBGYN Physician) said.
Doctors also begin looking at family history even more carefully, going beyond the preventative care prescribed during the 20's to what Dr. Anthony Agrios calls 'Maintenance Care.' That includes mole and skin exams, dental care, eyes, ears and more.
"We start adding long term issues. Blood pressure monitoring has to be more careful, cholesterol monitoring begins, thryroid/hormone monitoring is often important," Anthony Agrios (OBGYN Physician).
Mammograms can also start in the 30's if you're at greater risk. Pap smears are done with less frequency, instead of every year. Most women can have one every 3 years, but seeing your doctor annually is still critical.
"We discuss things like depression. We discuss your menstrual cycle, how are they kids, life questions," Anthony Agrios (OBGYN Physician).
Mueller has the motivation-- her family-- being healthy enough to be there for them in the long haul.
"It's just a matter of stopping and taking care of myself, like dedicate a day."
To create a lifetime of health...Corrie Lovette, TV20 News.
Tomorrow night we talk to doctors about women in their 40's.

Loyalty among Apple users continues to rise with the popularity of iPhones, according to research firm GfK, which reported today that 84 percent of iPhone users said they would buy another iPhone when the time came to replace their current phone.
Only 60 percent of Android users said they would stick with Android when they replaced their phones; 48 percent of Blackberry users would stay the course.
Unfortunately for Apple and for China – which took over from the U.S. as the biggest market for smartphones this year according to a study from Strategy Analytics – not all Chinese are still enamored of iPhones or of Apple.
More than 1,000 workers declared a strike earier this week at Jingmo Electronics, the Shenzhen, China factory that makes keyboards for Apple, LG and IBM, among others.
About 10 percent of the company's 3,000 total workers are on the Apple assembly line, according to CultofMac.
The strike was called to protest as much as 120 hours of forced overtime per month, a lack of benefits, unsafe conditions and injuries among workers, the firing of older workers and verbal abuse of workers by managers.
The Chinese factory workers may not realize, but verbal abuse from managers is an Apple tradition going back to the early days of Steve Jobs' first tour as CEO of the company that makes the prettiest computers and, apparently, the ugliest working conditions.

These were the reviewer's comments:
- There's a couple of empty divs and unordered lists in your code
- Overall, it has a good starting concept and it seems you've aimed for simplicity, but the overall design lacks details in its design that would help it stand out as more unique. At this point, you'll need to improve the design and make it more unique before it will be ready for ThemeForest
For the first, i'll just clear the floats with something else than divs and explain that the unordered list is for the quicksand plugin. But the second issue is the one the beats all newcomers What should i improve in terms of design details?
First of all, I must say that your theme is really great! Nice hard work!
Yes, indeed, this design needs to be unique enough to stand out in the marketplace, as I have seen alot of similar concept theme in tf marketplace.
Of course! you can do it, and I believe it would be a great theme.
few things that I think, it may make your theme " unique ".
1 – Add a very thin cute frame for gallery images.
2 – Zoom effect whenever one drag the mouse over the images. ( Make it an option from wp panel, whether one wants it or do not want it )
3 – Multiple color choice
4 – Background and its pattern choice
5 – Multiple Font options ( Google fonts )
6 – Easy to change the h1- h6 height from wp admin panel.
I understand that you are inspired by Orman for this design, but make it totally unique concept! I believe if you focus on my 2nd point, then it would be great! Because I have not seen this so far on TF like this.
If you want me to share the example of what kind of zoom effect I am talking about, then I can share the link where I have this effect.
Thank you! Good luck and take care!
Thanks for your time!
At this point the theme is only html, so 3-6 will remain for later. But i will take your first suggestions and add some cool effect over thumbnails roll overs and see what i can do about images.
I also started to design a home page with a better slider..
Great! Looking forward to see your awesome theme in tf marketplace!
i love your theme. hopefully you can fix it to their specs and get it uploaded. well done.
I have to say i really like the simplicity of your design… to me it looks perfect…
Personally i would not change anything except maybe add a different effect for the picture hover… but even that is a matter of taste.
Adding the options for changing colors and fonts that GopalDasa suggested would probably increase the change to get this approved.
Dan Alexandru, Element Themes
It reminds me a lot of the minimalistic designs of the famous cargo collective and thats the reason why I really love this theme. I would also add some more features and maybe a cool hover effect for the portfolio site f.e. http://webdesignandsuch.com/jquery-sliding-boxes-and-captions/ or something like http://buildinternet.com/2009/03/sliding-boxes-and-captions-with-jquery/
Good luck with it. I would definitly buy it, if it will be accepted by the staff.
Hey Ruben
I digg it man i always like original work.
Keep up the awesome work dude.

Turkey hunger strike claims death
A Turkish prisoner who has been on hunger strike for the past 18 months in protest against the country's prisons has died.
He was moved from the prison - where he was serving a 30-year sentence for being a member of DHKP-C - to hospital after his condition deteriorated.
His death brings the total number of prisoners, and their supporters, who have starved to death since the hunger strike began in October 2000 to 58.
Exploitation claims
The hunger strikers are protesting over new prisons which they say would isolate them from their comrades.
The strikers refuse all solid food, but take vitamins and sugared or salted water in order to lengthen their fasts.
At present prisoners are held in cells which can accommodate up to 100 people.
But the controversial new 'F-type' prisons Turkish authorities have cells which instead accommodate only two or three prisoners.
The prisoners, mostly members of small left-wing groups the Turkish Government accuses of terrorism, claim the newly-designed jails leave them vulnerable to exploitation or abuse.
Numbers dwindling
However the government claims that the old prisons with communal dormitories had become "training camps" for the left-wing groups, with riots and hostage-taking incidents common.
They also insist that the new prisons conformed with United Nations and European Union guidelines and that, far from crushing the prisoners, they would allow them to develop their identity away from the ideological constraints of their colleagues.
At one point up to 750 inmates and their supporters were on hunger strike, however this number appears to have dwindled to around 20 in recent months, the French news agency AFP reported.

Future of Islam
Beyond Rhetoric: A Future for Islam in American Thought
By Jonathan Brown
Controversy over the supposed "Ground Zero Mosque" in New York City reveals a great deal about the tenuous place of Muslims in American public space. Of course, the plans to build this Muslim community center would probably have caused little uproar were we not in an election year and was this not such a facile ladle with which to stir the pot of public emotion. That issues involving Islam and the continued association of that religion with terrorism are such reliable touchstones of outrage, however, alarms me more than the immediate furor specifically generated around the New York community center.
I would like to examine some of the rhetoric surrounding this controversy in order point out some of the assumptions and inconsistencies that characterize opposition to the Cordoba initiative. Doing so reveals a great deal about what prominent voices in American public life expect from Muslims, and what they expect the future of Islam to be.
Complaint: "There is a problem with Islam." -- I cannot count how many times non-Muslim students have come to my office and asked me if Islam is a "valid" religion. The only response I have been able to offer has been that, if a religion has flourished for over 1,400 years from Senegal to Malaysia and today counts more than 1.3 billion adherents, then I think it has a strong claim to sit at the table of valid world religions. More importantly, the fact that these 1.3 billion human beings lead their daily lives as farmers, lawyers, businessmen, bike couriers, carpenters, professors, homemakers, etc., while identifying as Muslims means that there is nothing wrong with Islam.
Are these people monsters? Do they walk around perpetrating acts of evil or cruelty on an hourly or even biweekly basis? Do they ponder moral issues, questions of life, love, friendship, and employment, and then suddenly do the "wrong thing" because they are Muslim? If we take a statistically significant group of these Muslims and put them next to a similar group of Americans, Christians, Japanese, or Zulus, do we notice that the Muslims are morally or judgmentally inferior? The simple fact of the matter is that the Muslim world is so broad, so diverse, and so internally divided -- as is to be expected in the case of any group of 1.3 billion humans -- that beyond the incredibly vague moniker of "Muslim" they have no more in common with one another than they do with "non-Muslims." There is no common element binding all these 1.3 billion people that we could identify as "wrong" if we were trying to point out some problem with Islam.
Complaint: "Islam is violent/preaches violence." -- This question is closely related to the previous point. Certainly, some verses of the Quran address violence, "fighting in the path of God," and fighting and slaying God's enemies. So does the Old Testament and the Bhagavad-Gita. The practitioners of a religion, however, are the ones who have the right to determine what its sacred texts teach, not outside critics. Believers in these sacred texts can and have decided that verses seeming to advocate violence are figurative, that they were superseded by some less violent verse, or they could simply never act on that commandment. For an outside critic to indict that religion because its sacred text includes violent verses would thus be ingenuous polemics. Is this critic really interested in changing the lives of the practitioners of this faith for the better? Or is he or she merely engaged in a game of religious 'gotcha'?

Pope stands firm on reforming "radical feminist" U.S. nuns
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis has reaffirmed the Vatican's criticism of a body that represents U.S. nuns which the Church said was tainted by "radical" feminism, dashing hopes he might take a softer stand with the sisters.
Francis's predecessor, Benedict, decreed that the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), a group that represents more than 80 percent of the 57,000 Catholic nuns in the United States, must change its ways, a ruling which the Vatican said on Monday still applied.
Last year, a Vatican report said the LCWR had "serious doctrinal problems" and promoted "radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith", criticizing it for taking a soft line on issues such as birth control and homosexuality.
The nuns received wide support among American Catholics, particularly on the liberal wing of the Church, as LCWR leaders travelled around the United States in a bus to defend themselves against the accusations.
On Monday the group's leaders met Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Mueller, the new head of the Vatican's doctrinal department, and Archbishop Peter Sartain of Seattle, who has been assigned by the Vatican to correct the group's perceived failings.
"Archbishop Mueller informed the (LCWR) presidency that he had recently discussed the doctrinal assessment with Pope Francis, who reaffirmed the findings of the assessment and the program of reform, " the Vatican's statement said.
The Vatican reminded the group that it would "remain under the direction of the Holy See," the statement said.
It was the nuns' first meeting with Mueller, who succeeded American Cardinal William Levada as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Levada, who retired last year, oversaw the Vatican's investigation of the U.S. nuns. Continued...

Hi guys,
I use the following Structure for my tv shows (example):
Serien - Dexter - Staffel 1 - S01E01 and so forth.
Somehow if I activate the Scraper for TV show details and episode guide he only finds about 1 Season...or only 1 show.
For me this seems really weird since I'm using a conform way of foldering...
Is it maybe because Staffel 1 is a German word? Would it help to just write Season 1 instead?

it appears so... i haven't tested but if you look at several different languages on thetvdb.com the "season" is always in english along with fan art and banner... looks like only the show descriptions are actually translated.
try it and see

Do cats need a varitey of cat food?
Do cats need a varitey of cat food like different flavors and different brands and stuff. My mom told me the other day that cats only should one brand and one flavor other wise they will become picky if i rotate brands and flavors. This true?

Cats do not need a variety of foods. They do need a good premium quality cat food (wet and dry foods) and most importantly, plenty of fresh water. If you switch cat foods frequently, it could cause stomach upset. So, feed your cat a decent pet food and keep it on that same food. If and when you decide to change pet foods, do it slowly by mixing a little of the new with the old and gradually decrease the old cat food. This will avoid any tummy upsets.

Hi Nellie! We are all Purfectly happy to have you here on Catster! Me-ow!
Now to the very very important discussion of Food.
Cats, like people, can have preferences. The only problem is usually these come from the flavors that are artificially added to food. So they want only that brand.(good business, maybe not best for kitty)
Cats also are really fond of routine.
Now with those things in mind I would suggest reading on the nutrition Forums about what different people say about different foods. I have switched to Wet with Dry as a treat. Pops says it is because I need to loose a bit of weight. Humph! What does he know about being a big-boned cat? I must admit I have really started having more energy. I play more. I am more outgoing.
Finicky is finding which they like. AND feeding the same time.
We Boyz love Pate. ONLY pate. Pops gets one of each and tests it. We have a good lists of "Want" and "Do Not Want."
Pops wants us to live long happy lives.
Wet it is!

One food is all they need but you just need to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't decide not to like that food anymore. Cats can be finicky for no apparent reason. I have several cats so it took me a while (and several expensive vet visits) to discover that Chelsea had decided not to eat Wellness food anymore. She was losing weight and I didn't know why. When all tests came back ok, we allowed her to try some different foods until we found one she enjoyed and she is fine now. For canned foods, I do feed a variety of flavors because it's the only way all my cats are happy. But you need to try to stick to one good quality food. Although most of my cats do not like wet food and none of them like the good quality wet foods.

Scotland Yard suffered a new race blow today as three officers were put on restricted duties and referred to the police watchdog over alleged racist comments to colleagues.
The action against two Pcs and an acting sergeant in Newham follows complaints about their conduct between January and March.
It comes as Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe vowed to get to the bottom of "very damaging" footage of another officer apparently racially abusing a man and a further officer allegedly assaulting a teenage boy last summer at an east London police station.
Announcing today's move, the Met said the three officers faced serious allegations and that "robust action" would be taken if they were proved. "Three MPS officers based in Newham have been placed on restricted duties and a voluntary referral made to the Independent Police Complaints Commission following allegations of racist comments being made within a group of officers," it said in a statement.
The incidents were reported to Scotland Yard bosses on 19 March, prompting an investigation which led to today's referral to the IPCC.
Commander Peter Spindler, from the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards, said: "These are serious allegations that are being thoroughly investigated so that robust action can be taken if proven." Today's action by the Met follows a pledge by Mr Hogan-Howe not to "stand for any racism or racists".
Former police commander Ali Dizaei is seeking a six-figure payout from the Met for alleged race discrimination. The 49-year-old today launched employment tribunal proceedings just weeks after being released from prison.Reuse content

(CNSNews.com) - On a mission to develop in young Americans what President Ronald Reagan called "an informed patriotism," the non-profit, Alexandria, Va.-based Bill of Rights Institute is slated to unveil this fall a new curriculum for high school students emphasizing the principles of the Constitution.
The institute, established in 1999, aims to educate high school students and teachers about our country's founding principles through programs that explore what the nation's first leaders said, what their documents communicated and how these ideas affect our daily lives and shape our society, according to Victoria Hughes, institute president.
"We believe that informed patriotism depends upon the knowledge of our country's founding principles articulated in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights," Hughes told CNSNews.com.
This idea is not new, Hughes said, quoting James Madison, "the father of the Constitution," who over 200 years ago said: "It is universally admitted that a well instructed people alone can be permanently free."
Hughes also cited the recent comments of David McCullough, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of President John Adams. McCullough lamented that "our national amnesia" about history represents "a threat to liberty."
"So we go from James Madison all the way up through David McCullough basically delivering the same message that without the knowledge of who we are as a people and what we stand for, we are creating a situation where our liberty could be in jeopardy. Our freedom, our strength as a country is threatened by this lack of knowledge," Hughes said.
She added that the Bill of Rights Institute focuses on high school students and teachers because "unfortunately, that is the last time most Americans study about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights."
The institute provides American history, government and civics teachers with instructional materials such as videos and sample teaching plans to supplement the textbooks, which Hughes said, "tend to be thin gruel" these days. She recalled one textbook that "spent 33 lines on George Washington and 10 pages on Bill Clinton."
The newest curriculum product, "Citizenship and Character: Exploring Civic Values From the Founding to Today," scheduled for release in August, "will look at American civic values that are embedded in our Constitution and that have been lived by the founders and other great Americans in our history," Hughes said.
Great interest has already been shown for the new curriculum, Hughes said, and a free sample lesson from it is available at the institute website. Hughes pointed out that 16,000 teachers have chosen material from the institute to incorporate in their teaching programs.
The Bill of Rights Institute also provides teacher training.
"Unfortunately, many teachers themselves do not have this knowledge because in college, they majored in social studies, which means they spent very little time focused on the founding period," Hughes said.
The institute holds constitutional seminars for teachers nationwide throughout the year. Thus far, more than 2,000 have attended, she said.
"We also hold a summer institute for teachers at George Mason University in Virginia. It's a week-long graduate-level course for teachers who seek more in-depth knowledge," according to Hughes.
The institute has just begun collaborating with an IMAX producer on a film called We the People to debut at the Smithsonian Museum of American History on the National Mall on July 4, 2004.
"It will be a film that celebrates the history of freedom from the founding to today," Hughes said, adding that it will be available to the other 150 IMAX theaters around the country as well. "We think this will be a great field trip opportunity for teachers to bring their classes to."
She also revealed that the institute has just received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities under President Bush's "We the People" initiative to develop a curriculum entitled "The Founders and the Constitution: A Teacher's Guide."
This 24-unit curriculum focuses on the individual contributions of the Founding Fathers and will be accompanied by a classroom poster series, interactive website and a monthly e-mail newsletter.
"We are going to be focusing on their positive contributions to American constitutional government - something unique that has not been done in quite a while," Hughes said. The discussion of who did or did not have slaves or illegitimate children "has been done and overdone," she added.
The curriculum dealing with the Founders and the Constitution is scheduled for release in 2005.
