The Divine Image
Introduction (Innocence)
Piping down the valleys wild,
Piping songs of pleasant glee,
On a cloud I saw a child,
And he laughing said to me:
"Pipe a song about a Lamb!"
So I piped with merry cheer.
"Piper, pipe that song again;"
So I piped: he wept to hear.
"Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe;
Sing thy songs of happy cheer!"
So I sung the same again,
While he wept with joy to hear.
"Piper, sit thee down and write
In a book, that all may read."
So he vanished from my sight,
And I plucked a hollow reed,
And I made a rural pen,
And I stained the water clear,
And I wrote my happy songs
Every child may joy to hear.
The Shepherd
How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot!
From the morn to the evening he strays;
He shall follow his sheep all the day,
And his tongue shall be filled with praise.
For he hears the lamb's innocent call,
And he hears the ewe's tender reply;
He is watchful while they are in peace,
For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.
The Blossom
Merry, Merry Sparrow,
Under Leaves so green,
A Happy Blossom
Sees you swift as arrow
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my Bosom.
Pretty, Pretty Robin,
Under leaves so green,
A happy Blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Near my Bosom.
The Schoolboy
I love to rise in a summer morn
When the birds sing on every tree;
The distant huntsman winds his horn,
And the skylark sings with me.
Oh, what sweet company!
But to go to school in a summer morn,
Oh! it drives all joy away;
Under a cruel eye outworn
The little ones spend the day
In sighing and dismay.
Ah! then at times I drooping sit,
And spend many an anxious hour;
Nor in my book can I take delight,
Nor sit in learning's bower,
Worn through with the dreary shower.
How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child, when fears annoy,
But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring?
O, father and mother, if buds are nipped
And blossoms blown away,
And if the tender plants are stripped
Of their joy in the springing day,
By sorrow and care's dismay,
How shall the summer arise in joy,
Or the summer fruits appear?
Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy,
Or bless the mellowing year,
When the blasts of winter appear?
Holy Thursday
'Twas on a Holy Thursday, their innocent faces clean,
The children walking two and two, in red and blue and green;
Grey-headed beadles walked before, with wands as white as snow,
Till into the high dome of Paul's they like Thames waters flow.
O what a multitude they seemed, these flowers of London town!
Seated in companies they sit, with radiance all their own.
The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs,
Thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands.
Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of song,
Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among;
Beneath them sit the aged men, wise guardians of the poor:
Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door.
The Little Black Boy (
My mother bore me in the southern wild,
And I am black, but oh! my soul is white.
White as an angel is the English child,
But I am black as if bereaved of light.
My mother taught me underneath a tree,
And, sitting down before the heat of day,
She took me on her lap and kissed me,
And pointing to the east began to say:
"Look on the rising sun, - there God does live
And gives his light, and gives his heat away;
And flowers and trees and beasts and men receive
Comfort in morning, joy in the noonday.
And we are put on earth a little space
That we may learn to bear the beams of love;
And these black bodies and this sunburnt face
Is but a cloud, and like a shady grove.
For when our souls have learned the heat to bear
The cloud will vanish, we shall hear his voice
Saying: 'Come out from the grove, my love and care,
And round my golden tent like lambs rejoice!' "
Thus did my mother say, and kissed me;
And thus I say to little English boy:
When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of God like lambs we joy,
I'll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our father's knee;
And then I'll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.
The Lamb (
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb;
He is meek and he is mild,
He became a little child:
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little lamb, God bless thee!
Little lamb, God bless thee!
Night (
The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
The moon like a flower,
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.
Farewell, green fields and happy groves,
Where flocks have took delight;
Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves
The feet of angels bright;
Unseen they pour blessing,
And joy without ceasing,
On each bud and blossom,
And each sleeping bosom.
They look in every thoughtless nest,
Where birds are covered warm;
They visit caves of every beast,
To keep them all from harm:
If they see any weeping
That should have been sleeping,
They pour sleep on their head,
And sit down by their bed.
When wolves and tigers howl for prey,
They pitying stand and weep, -
Seeking to drive their thirst away,
And keep them from the sheep.
But if they rush dreadful,
The angels, most heedful,
Receive each mild spirit,
New worlds to inherit.
And there the lion's ruddy eyes
Shall flow with tears of gold,
And pitying the tender cries,
And walking round the fold,
Saying, "Wrath, by his meekness,
And, by his health, sickness
Is driven away
Form our immortal day.
"And now beside thee, bleating lamb,
I can lie down and sleep;
Or think on him who bore thy name,
Graze after thee and weep.
For, washed in life's river,
My bright mane for ever
Shall shine like the gold,
As I guard o'er the fold."
The Chimney Sweeper (
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!
So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head,
That curled like a lamb's back, was shaved: so I said,
"Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare,
You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair."
And so he was quiet; and that very night,
As Tom was a-sleeping, he had such a sight, -
That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, and Jack,
Were all of them locked up in coffins of black.
And by came an angel who had a bright key,
And he opened the coffins and set them all free;
Then down a green plain leaping, laughing, they run,
And wash in a river, and shine in the sun.
Then naked and white, all their bags left behind,
They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind;
And the angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy,
He'd have God for his father, and never want joy.
And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark,
And got with our bags and our brushes to work.
Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm;
So if all do their duty they need not fear harm.
The Divine Image (
To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love
All pray in their distress;
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.
For Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love
Is God, our father dear,
And Mercy, pity, Peace and Love
Is Man, his child and care.
For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity, a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.
Then every man of every clime
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine,
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.
And all must love the human form
In heathen, turk or jew.
Where Mercy, Love and Pity dwell
There God is dwelling too.

For Lakeview students, shop class is more than building gun racks
LAKEVIEW — Say the words "shop class" and certain images come to mind, not all of them flattering — kids gluing inexpertly-cut bits of wood together to form end tables of questionable stability or uninspired students counting the minutes until the 3 p.m. bell.
There's an altogether different picture being painted in Dave Albert's woodworking shop at Lakeview High School, however.
On any given afternoon, the hum and rattle of industry fill the cavernous work room as engaged, enthusiastic students create projects not only for themselves but for the community at large.
At the moment, Albert's students are building several permanent displays for a children's museum currently under development in Belding. Once completed, the interactive displays will be donated to the museum for free.
Community service is just one of the many life lessons Albert imparts to his charges in addition to the rules pertaining to stray thumbs and rip saws. Albert's "draft and build" class is constructing the museum donations, mostly with donated materials or materials purchased by the class itself.
According to senior Josh Eichenberg, the project represents a chance not only to learn the finer points of woodworking, but also gives kids an opportunity to give something back to the community.
"(Our group) is building a pulley system," Eichenberg said. "It's for the children's museum in Belding and will take two or three weeks to complete. It'll be in four separate pieces to fit through the door."
Other interactive displays being built by the class include an X-ray box that allows students to view the skeletons of various animals, a Lincoln Log table and matching play-set and a game that helps children match animal pelts with their original owners.
Tom Fagerlin, whose wife will curate the Belding museum once it is completed, said the project could never see fruition without the assistance of many volunteers providing materials and labor at no cost.
"Without all their help it would be a year before we could even hope to open," Fagerlin said. "There are a lot of unsung heroes at work here, such as Dave's class here."
Projects like the museum displays don't come cheaply, however. Albert is the first to admit that coming up with funding for this and other community projects sometimes requires a little creative thinking. That's where his mass production class enters the picture. If the draft and build class usually gets the glory, it is the mass production class that covers the expenses.
One local company — which wished to remain anonymous — donated $10,000 worth of materials to Albert's class. Another local company donated an employee and a truck and trailer to assist in picking up the donated materials.
Each semester, Albert's mass production class designs and creates its own unique product. "Lakeview Logs" (similar to Lincoln Logs) was the product one year. Another semester decided on folding lawn chairs. This semester's product is folding TV trays. Once built, the students market and sell the products throughout the community. Money raised from the sale helps fund community projects like the children's museum displays as well as purchase new equipment and materials for the wood shop.
"Without the mass production class, we wouldn't be able to allow students to build things like mahogany gun cases and similar projects for only $10 each," Albert said. "We have really great kids. We couldn't build all these things for the community without these selfless kids' willingness to work so hard."

I might be missing something here. This is a genuine set of questions.
I can't understand why Jake wants to take Cross to where the women are.
I assume that this is Jake's plan.
Why else would he meet with Cross?
Meeting Cross can't help Jake's situation in any way. He has the evidence that he has. Just go to the police.
It's self-evident that if he meets Cross, Cross - who Jake knows is a killer - is going to take the evidence from him and do all sorts of other things to take control of the situation.

Vivek Ranadive is not only the chief executive officer of TIBCO Software, Inc., he's a New York Times bestselling author (of works like The Power of Now, The Power to Predict and the recently released The Two-Second Advantage: How We Succeed by Anticipating the Future -- Just Enough.) As you'd expect from such a literary type, this proponent of event-driven computing and herald of Enterprise 3.0 is handy with a well-turned phrase. He describes your relational database as a "phone that doesn't ring" and his description of what happens when you open a certain software package from rival IBM is likely to stick in your mind. In this latest installment of the IDG Enterprise CEO Interview Series, Ranadive spoke with IDGE Chief Content Officer John Gallant about why your company needs to move to real-time computing and how TIBCO's 'two-second advantage' can change your business.
Q: Let's start by setting the table. Explain for folks what it is that TIBCO does for enterprise customers and what makes the company unique among enterprise software providers?
A: TIBCO provides the platform that allows companies to tie all their systems together and so that you can take advantage of real-time events. In the 20th century, people would react to things after they happened by looking at information in a database. With the TIBCO platform, not only do you save a lot of money because you're able to connect everything through a software bus so you don't have to have lots of back-and-forth interfaces, but you're then able to find things out before they happen. I call this in my new book the 'two-second advantage.' If you have just a little bit of the right information, just a little bit beforehand, it's more valuable than all the information in the world six months after. What's the point of knowing you've lost a customer after the customer leaves or that you've had fraud committed after the money was lost, or that you have a power outage when it's already dark?

Re: Help with Identities
dear sir
the reason maybe Mathematica does not know the x and y greater than 0 or not.
so you must assuming the x and y greater than 0;
and more over, the log[] doesn't smarter than man.
so you must tell the Mathematica to do it using the function
FullSimplify or Simplify; and then,
FullSimplify[Log[x/y] == Log[x] - Log[y], x > 0 && y > 0]
NOTE is two == and return true;
but if you use === ans it will return false, because the header is
different i think;
But if you use this
Assuming[x > 0 && y > 0, Log[x/y] === FullSimplify[Log[x] - Log[y]]]
telling the Mathematica the x and y greater than 0 first, you can get
the result true both use == and ===
i hope this will hope you.
you also can test Sin[2 x] == 2 Sin[x] Cos[x];
without Simplify[] you will get nothing.

Conference: Rational Choice and Constitutional Law
Rational Choice and Constitutional Law
This conference examines constitutional law from an economic perspective. Participants will discuss judicial review, voting rules, amendment rules, rights, separation of powers, and other features of the U.S. constitution and foreign constitutions. One perspective taken will be that of constitutional design: what is the best way for constitutional drafters to design constitutions? Another question concerns how constitutions can be self-enforcing, given that there are no external agents that can enforce constitutions. The conference will also address the relationship between constitutional and international law.

As investments in research lead to progress in early detection and lung cancer treatments, more people are living longer and better with lung cancer than ever before. The Survivor Resource Center is a hub for survivors at any stage of their lung cancer journey looking for support, information about the disease, treatment options and other resources that can help make coping and living with lung cancer easier. LUNGevity's Survivor Resource Center is the first online resource wholly devoted to lung cancer survivors. "LUNGevity Foundation is pleased to offer the lung cancer community this vital resource. We are one of the few places lung cancer patients and their loved ones can find a community of support in their struggles with the disease," said Andrea Stern Ferris, LUNGevity Foundation president. "As the nation's largest private funder of lung cancer research, we are heartened that progress in treatment for the disease is helping more people survive longer and live better than ever before. LUNGevity's Survivor Resource Center will help those affected chart the new path in survivorship." According to the National Cancer Institute, "Survivorship" begins at the time of diagnosis and continues during and after treatment for as long as a patient lives. Cancer survivorship includes the physical, emotional, and day-to-day issues of the cancer journey. The Survivor Resource Center arms patients with information and resources connected to their physical and emotional well being, as well as offering practical support, such as information related to receiving assistance with prescription drug costs. The Center also connects patients with peer to peer support through LUNGevity's Lung Cancer Support Community (LCSC), the largest dedicated social network offering support to anyone touched by lung cancer.

Commonly reported U.S. Adult Multivitamin/Mineral (MVM) products: Analysis of labeled vs. analytical values for 19 vitamins and minerals. Experimental Biology 2008, April 5-9, 2008, San Diego, CA. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Adult MVM products, representing over 55% of the national market share, were analyzed for their nutrient content. Nationally representative samples of each product were obtained in 6 retail locations from various market channels. Products were repackaged and sent to one or more independent laboratories for analysis, along with quality control materials. For each nutrient, mean per cent differences from label (%DL) and among-lot variability were calculated. To identify patterns of variance, regression analyses were applied to %DL vs. labeled values among the 35 products. For 12 nutrients (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin C, alpha-tocopherol, and zinc), mean %DLs for all 35 products and residual standard deviations (sd) were <12%. For 7 nutrients (selenium, vitamin B6, chromium, thiamin, vitamin B12, folic acid, iodine), mean %DL ranged from 14% to 46% and residual sd ranged from 9% to 20%. Regression analysis will be applied to analytical data from a further study of MVM products that posses a lower-market-share to determine whether identified patterns in this study can be used to predict %DL for an analytically validated Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database.

Question regarding spraybar/c02
Keeping shrimp in a biocube is pretty tricky. I've had to put tiny prefilters over the inlet & had to do the same for the outlet. Problem with the outlet is simply flow..I've greatly had to reduce it because at full flow the inlet just couldn't keep up & water would overflow to the back. So I've had the outlet choked down pretty good for the past couple months, everything works fine but the tank overall doesn't get much flow with the outlet the way it is.
So Today I fabricated a custom spray bar that allows better flow through out the tank, hopefully eliminating dead spots. I run c02 & the spray bar is about 1 inch above the surface. Will I lose a lot of c02 with it being that high? is there a certain angle it should be set? Imagine this is the tank from front view [_]. I have the bar on the left side shooting water down
You will probably lose quite a bit of CO2 if your spray bar is 1 inch above the water surface and the water is splashing down.
Can you set the spray bar so that it is just at water level? That way, the water from the filter return is gently rippling the surface of the water; this is the ideal amount of surface agitation you want to have to prevent excessive CO2 off gas (diffusion).
how are you attaching your spray bar?
Here is a picture for reference. On the right side I plugged the outlet & used a hard plastic 90 degree bend that fits the bar snug across the left side of the tankhttp://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps7e1067a9.jpg
Are you using the stock biocube pump?
You could try downgrading to a hydor or maxijet that gives lower flow, something in the 160 gph range perhaps.
After some thought & looking at the spray bar operate while being above everything it didn't seem to move much water from the middle down, so I repositioned it to be inside the tank on the left side from the bottom to the top with the jets facing towards the front. Now I have the flow that I want all around the tank, my plants sway a little bit But I'm curious as to whether it is bad for the shrimp?
Blue represents how the spraybar is mounted http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps84901d98.jpg

Northwestern Oklahoma State hurler Zac Floyd has been named Pitcher of the Week in the Sooner Athletic Conference for the week of March 19-25 as announced by the league office earlier today.
Floyd threw a complete game shutout against Oklahoma Christian. The Enid native gave up just one hit and struck out seven Eagles in a 2-0 win in the series finale on Saturday. Floyd's gem was one of three Ranger shutouts against the Eagles this weekend as Northwestern outscored Oklahoma Christian 27-0 in the three-game set.
The senior is 3-1 on the season and has settled in as a mainstay in head coach Ryan Bay's starting rotation.
Floyd is the third Ranger to earn the honor this season. Clay Thomas and Jason Martyn took home the award earlier this season.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

First of all, you template is just awesome! But actually, I have a little question, how can I change the size of the pictures of my home page (of the "latest news)? Like those oneshttp://nsa31.casimages.com/img/2014/02/24/14022410022439424.png
Thanks in advance, have a great day!
Hi there,
Thanks! You can go to functions.php and look on line 108, here you can change the size of the list item image After you change the size be sure to regenerate your thumbnails using the plugin called Regenerate Thumbnails.
Thank you so much for your very quick answer! SO, i changed this line " add_image_size( 'list_thumb', 230, 50, true ); " and i delated and then add the new plugin but nothing chance :/ .
Do you have an idea of my mistake? Thank you in advance!
Could you send us an email with a link to your site and your wp-admin info so we can take a better look. Thanks
I found my problem! Thank so much!!!
I showed my site to several friends, all described it as lovely and very efficient. So, congratulations!
Excuse me again, I am so sorry, but i have 3 more questions:
1) Do you know where I can fix this problem? http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/659156Capturedcran20140304015128.png2) After changing the image size, I'd like to know how to "center" the small round? http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/378401Capturedcran20140304015354.png 3) how I can reproduce the formatting in orange? http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/571142Capturedcran20140304015842.png
Thousand thank you for your help, it's very nice to have a reactive and quality support !!!
Glad to hear that!
1) Looks strange, could you send us an email with your wp-admin info so we can take a look at it.
2) Please add the following to Hickory Options > Custom CSS:
.content.sidebar ul.newsfeed.classic li .item .item-image .item-image-icon { left:120px; top:60px; }
3) You need to use the "blockquote" tag. You can find it in the WP post editor
Great theme Makes my site look snazzy.
I have a little problem though. When I want to share a post on Twitter, for some reason it puts the URL link twice.
Also, how can I edit the text that automatically appears when I share something on Twitter? I want to get rid of the 'Check this out'.
Thanks a lot.
Hi there,
Could you try to go to single.php and look on line 230 you'll see:
data-text="Check out this article: <?php the_title(); ?> - <?php the_permalink(); ?>"
Delete the
<?php the_permalink(); ?> and you can also change the "Check out this article"
Thank you.
Hi, I'm thinking about purchasing this, but I have a question on the structure. What is the difference between the content below the header, and the content below "latest news"? Are they both posts? Is the content at the top stand alone, or does it pull it from somewhere else?
I've tried a few themes already for the site I'm working on, but their structure hasn't been so adaptable. Any additional info you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to help me, Rebecca
Hi Rebecca,
The content you see just below the header is what we call the "Featured Area"—when you write or edit a post you have an option to mark the post as "featured" doing that will make them appear in that area
Hey SoloPine,
Is there any way to insert custom Logo Headers on pages?
Thanks for your time
Hi there,
Unfortunately not without doing some customization. You could use the is_page() function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page in the inc/headers/innerheader.php file to change the logo depending on what page you're on
Is there a way to revise the code in the Homepage widgets to pull from tags? I'd like to have the option to pull from either a specific tag or category (I'm happy to have two separate widgets for that).
Hi amy,
It's possibly but would unfortunately take some customization which would be out of the scope of support we're offering. I'd recommend you take a look at microlancer.com they have great & cheap WP freelancers
Hello SoloPine
I have just purchased the theme and have to tried to upload it to wordpress and the error message "The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the
style.css stylesheet" continues to appear.
Please advise me on what to do
Thanks Amara
Hi Amara,
This is a common issue, Themeforest has even written a little article on how to fix it: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/269 check the "Common 'Broken Theme' and 'Stylesheet Missing' WordPress Issues" section
Hi The thumbnail images are not loading in the homepage slider. I changed controlnav:"thumbnail" in hicory.js. and it gives the img src as undefined.
Hi there,
The slider is not set up to use thumbnails, you would have to go to /inc/featured_area/featured-2.php and change the code. I recommend you look for a freelancer to help you out with this
Hi there,
I'm trying to remove the sidebar from my HP (jetstreamtv.com). I've disabled it in HP options but it remains. Cleared my browser cache, no luck. I have the feeling I'm missing something very obvious, can you help me out?
Hi there,
Are you using a page as your homepage? In that case you need to change the page template to "Full width"
Beautiful, thank you!
Hi!... I bought this theme a while ago and now i want to upgrade it to 2.0.3.
Is there any way of doing this automatically? or I just have to redownload it and overwrite all files on the server?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, unfortunately that's the way you'll have to do it. You can also go to Appearance > Themes > Delete Hickory > And then upload the new version
Before I buy. does this template come with demo content?
Hi there, We can provide you with the demo xml file yes
Ok cool thanks.. I will make the prchase later on today
Solo Pines! Love the Wordpress Theme! Two questions for you:
1-Do you think the color scheme for my site works? http://mikesheff.com/
2- Notice that the "Latest Posts" Heading bar and "Search" bar on the side don't align. Is there a way to get them to align right? I think that would bring it all together nicely!
Thank you!
Hi there,
1) It's definitely a bold move to use so many different colors, but i think it works in this case. Though, I would probably make the color on the "Latest Posts" bar a little darker, right now the text is a bit hard to read. Also I'm not sure about the grey bg color in the footer. Maybe keep it black? Just my 2 cents
2) It seems like there's an empty div that creates that little gap. Could you send us an email with your wp-admin info so we can take a better look at the issue.
I sent it to you guys! let me know if you got it and what else youneed from me.
Replied to your email
Having a lot of trouble with scheduled posts not showing up after they publish. I have to go in and update them every single time to make them show up. Is this a bug in the theme? I've never had this problem with Wordpress before.http://daviddmorse.com
Thanks guys.
Hi David,
That's strange, have done scheduled posts on Hickory without any issues. Could you send us an email with your wp-admin info so we can take a better look at the issue. Thanks!
How do you move commet section up over Author Box, Tags and Related Posts.
And how do you disable Tags and Related Posts in all post ?
Thanks really love the theme
Hi there,
if you go to single.php and look on line 299 you'll see:
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?> take this bit of code and move it up to line 220
Hello! This theme has been a lifesaver for a "newbie" like me. Thank you thank you!
The only thing I can't seem to modify is the Facebook "Like" button. I really want my readers to be able to "share" with a pop-up comment box, like the other share buttons. Can you help me out?
Ah! Nevermind. Figured it out.
I would like to choose different category layouts for various pages. one classic and other grid. how can i enable this?
Hi there,
Unfortunately we don't have an option for that. So you would need to go to category.php and manully use the condition tag called is_category('name-of-category') to set the layout. If you send us an email we can point you in the right direction.
i sent you a message
How can I make the featured image link to a specific URL (when displayed in a post, not on the homepage)?
I am already using the Default Image Link.http://wordpress.org/plugins/default-image-link/
By default, clicking on the feature image just launches a gallery of that image.
Hi there,
I'm not sure that plugin works with the featured image as well. If you send us an email we can try and guide you through another solution.
Hi! Thank you for the great theme!
I'm trying to target a certain category to be able to add the selector .post-meta: {display: none;} to remove the author and date information from the post
I've tried adding the line .category-(category slug) .post-meta: {display: none;} but it doesn't seem to target the right category. How should I proceed?
Hi there,
Do you want to get rid of the meta info on a category page or inside a post page?
Hi, Loving the Hickory theme. One problem. I checked the box to disable author box on posts but author and date are still showing up on posts. Am I doing something wrong? Here is a link to a post: http://jeromeo.com/test/massage/ Thanks
Hi there,
That option gets rid of the boxes below the content, but the meta info below the title will still be displayed. You can get rid of it by going to Hickory Options > Custom CSS and add:
.post-header span.post-meta { display:none; }
great theme!
1 issue, though and 2 questions:
1) the grid layout is not working, instead of grid it shows just one small column, second one missing. list is working.
2) what do I have to do to enable sub menus in the footer menu?
3) what exactely does the option "widgetize pages and categories" do?
Hi there,
1) Could you send me a link to your site so i can check this issue out. Never seen this issue before!
2) Unfortunately the footer menu don't have dropdown functionality
3) It is used in case you want to use the "homepage" widgets on any of your pages or categories. Check out: http://www.screenr.com/rYXH
it really looks messy with the one column in the grid. please advise what I can do.
Hi there,
For some reason you're missing following css: display:inline-block; on your li items. Please go to Hickory Options > Custom CSS and add:
.content .newsfeed li { display:inline-block; }
ahhh, thank you. now it works!

Sunday, January 15, 2017 • San Antonio, TX • Course Map
The scenic, historic streets of San Antonio are set to play host in early 2017 to the 5th annual running of the Cocoa Women's Half Marathon, a race that's organized by the same group that puts together the late March running of the Alamo 13.1 Half Marathon, which also is run through the "River City."
The race is designed for women runners of all ages and abilities — mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, aunts and grandmothers. The marketing tagline for the race is "where the bitter meets the sweet," and organizers say that the chocolate-themed event should offer plenty of sweets out for runners on the course.
Runners will follow an out-and-back route for the half marathon, which (like the 5K and the one-mile fun run) will start and finish near Hemisfair Park and the Henry Gonzales Convention Center, between Villita Street and Nueva Street, just blocks from the city's famed RiverWalk. More than 900 runners crossed the finish line in both races combined in 2016, including just over 600 runners in the half marathon.
From there, the course unfolds first along several twists and turns through downtown, taking runners past historic spots like Main Plaza and La Villita, the heart of San Antonio's arts and cultural district. The course takes runners across bridges over the San Antonio River several times during the race, twice within the first mile.
The next few miles take runners through Hemisfair Park, which was built to host the 1968 World's Fair and today is home to the city's Institute of Texan Cultures as well as the Instituto Cultural Mexicano.
The middle miles of the race unfold largely along the banks of the river, along both paved and dirt trails, and take runners south all the way down to Concepcion Park, where they'll make the turn just after the mid-way point of the race around the southern end of the park.
The race contains a few minor hills but overall is mostly flat and fast, as much of it unfolds along the river. After passing the mile 8 marker, runners return to the river banks and stay on the trail for the next few miles, all the way back into downtown — and crossing the river four times on the way back — until they reach the finish line back near the park where they started.
Race Climate & Weather
Nestled in the hill country of southern Texas, just over 80 miles southwest of Austin and roughly 200 miles west of Houston, San Antonio typically sees January temperatures that average between 41°F and 63°F, while precipitation amounts average just over 1.7 inches for the month.
On the day of the race (Jan. 15), the average low is 41°F and the average high is 63°F.

Feb. 21, 2014
Three Pitt women's soccer freshmen players--Shaina Ashouri, Malea Fabean and Seyla Perez—decided to graduate from high school in December and enroll at Pitt for the 2014 spring semester. All three players are currently in Pittsburgh and enrolled in spring classes. We spoke to all three of the players to find out how their transition has been to college:
Shaina is a freshman from Parker, Colo. and Chaparral H.S. who as a midfielder, will give Pitt a quick and athletic attacking player.
Q: Why did you decide to graduate early and enroll at Pitt a semester early?
A: "I decided to graduate early and enroll at Pitt a semester early because I saw this as one of the opportunities in life I couldn't let pass me by. I knew that I would be getting a head start not only educationally but also athletically. Also coming from Colorado I knew it was going to be a hard adjustment being far from home so I wanted to get used to everything in the Spring rather than the fall where I don't have time to think of anything besides school and soccer."
Q: How has the transition gone so far?
A: "The transition has been both easy and tough at times. School wise, it's a lot more work than it was in high school and being a student-athlete in college is 10x more demanding than it used to be. I still love it and the team and coaches make it an easier transition."
Q: What are you looking to get out of spring training?
A: "During the spring training I am looking forward to getting used to the coaching style and the team's style of play. Building on my technical abilities, 1v1 attacking and defending, speed of play, and fitness are just a few of the many things I'm looking to improve. I hope that I come out of this spring season with improvements in every area so I can continue to build and improve in preparation for the years ahead of me."
Q: Why did you decide to come to Pitt?
A: "I knew Pitt was the right place for me as soon as I got on campus and met the coaches and the team. I came here because the coaches were very nice but never sugar-coated anything. They all know soccer at a very high level and I knew that when it came to practices and games they would mean business. They have a desire to build a name for the women's soccer program here and I want to help achieve that. Besides, what better place to do it than in the ACC, college's premier soccer conference? Educationally, Pitt has a reputation for being a very prestigious University and I wanted to get my degree at a school that would offer be the best soccer and academic opportunities."
Q: In just one month, how has arriving at Pitt helped you in preparation for the upcoming season?
A: "Being here in one month on paper might not seem like a long time, but I have learned a lot already. Being able to play and lift with the team--not to mention being around them 24/7-- has given me the opportunity to build friendships and team chemistry. I think team chemistry will be vital in the fall season especially with my class having 12 new girls."
Malea is a freshman from nearby Donora, Pa. and Greensburg Catholic Central H.S., who scored 152 goals and set a Pennsylvania state record with 117 career assists during her four-year high school career.
Q: Why did you decide to graduate early and enroll at Pitt a semester early?
A: "I felt that it was a perfect opportunity for me to get a head start both academically and athletically. I was ready to begin the next chapter of my life."
Q: How has the transition gone so far?
A: "The transition has gone better than expected. There are so many resources for athletes to use both from the academic side and from the athletic side, plus I knew most of the team pretty well and they have helped to make the transition go pretty smoothly. They have been great teammates."
Q: What are you looking to get out of spring training?
A: "I want to get myself as fit as possible and understand what I need to do to help the team succeed this fall. I am looking forward to the spring games and the competition that they will bring."
Q: Why did you decide to come to Pitt?
A: "I have always wanted to attend Pitt from about 8th grade on. It's a great academic school, close to home and just an overall great fit for me. And now actually being here I know I made the right choice for sure."
Q: In just one month, how has arriving at Pitt helped you in preparation for the upcoming season?
A: "Since getting here in January, I have pushed myself from a fitness standpoint to try and keep up with the most fit girls on the team. I think getting the opportunity to be pushed by my coaches and teammates for the last couple of weeks will enable me to be prepared for this spring both physically and mentally. I can't wait to get on the field with my new teammates."
Seyla is a freshman from Warren, Ohio and Howland H.S. who earned two All-State First Team honors and accumulated 47 goals and 27 assists during her high school career. She also helped guide her club team to the Under-17 national title.
Q: Why did you decide to graduate early and enroll at Pitt a semester early?
A: "I decided to graduate early and enroll a semester early at Pitt because I thought it was a great opportunity to be able to begin practicing with the team and preparing for the upcoming fall season. I saw no negatives in coming early when my coaches had asked, only positive. I would not only get to begin playing with the team, but also get a head start on my academics and managing being a student-athlete."
Q: How has the transition gone so far?
A: "The transition so far has went fairly well. The academic transition is definitely tough, but the staff is very supportive and helpful with that. The hardest transition would be managing time. The soccer transition is a lot different as well. The amount of hours put into it are a lot, but the team and coaches have helped so much already with making sure we can handle it and are comfortable with everything."
Q: What are you looking to get out of spring training?
A: "This spring I am looking to work on my technical ability and really get a sense of how my team plays. I really want to get connected with everyone as well so it's not a new atmosphere when I come back in the fall. Understanding the way Pitt plays and the rolls of my position on the field with my team is a huge thing I am looking to get out of this spring training."
Q: Why did you decide to come to Pitt?
A: "I decided to come to Pitt because when I first visited I felt at home. The coaches are honestly so supportive and helpful in every way that they can be, that it made me want to go to Pitt. Joining the ACC also helped my decision. Not only would did I want to be a part of a great conference with the best competition, but I also wanted to be a part of the program that they are building here at Pitt. The team, also, was so welcoming from the start. They all have great hearts and really want the best for the team. Also, Pitt is not far from me and I did not want to go far away from home."
Q: In just one month, how has arriving at Pitt helped you in preparation for the upcoming season?
A: "Arriving early has already helped my chemistry with the team and coaching staff. I feel so close with everyone already and that is a big aspect in having a successful team. I am getting to the point where I feel comfortable enough to just play, which is one of my biggest problems when I join a new team so I will be completely fine when fall comes. Being here already has helped with the understanding of what a student-athlete consists of and how hard you have to work with school and soccer so when I come in the fall I will already know what to expect with that. Also, being here has already helped me improve with my fitness so when fall comes I will not be out of shape and dying on the field."

Smithing was often regarded to be a tedious and expensive skill to train in Free to play worlds before the release of Artisan's Workshop. Forging items out of single bars, financial inability, or the monotony of smelting led people to neglect it. Players also tend to give up at higher levels, as profitable training methods give too little experience to get quick level-ups. For those who are financially more able there are distinctive power-levelling methods, which this guide will elaborate on here. Also, for a table showing profits versus experience made smithing certain items, see this page.
The most efficient way to train Smithing while making a profit is by mining the ore themselves and using the Superheat Item spell on them instantly. Mining sites that support this form of training include the Varrock east- and west mines, as they are situated relatively close to banks in Varrock. The mine in the Edgeville Dungeon can also be found suitable for doing this as it is host to a variety of rocks required to smelt bronze, iron, steel, silver, mithril and adamant bars, alongside the mining site in the south-west of the Lumbridge Swamp, which hosts rocks required to produce mithril and adamant bars. Selling these bars would result in a profit, while gaining some smithing and Magic experience from the Superheat spell.
The actual forging items on an anvil grants far more experience. Doing this with bars one has made for their own would reduce the profit significantly, but at the same time yield a decent amount of experience. As this could consume a lot of time, some people prefer to buy the required ores and smelt them into bars which they would forge into items. This would result in a little less loss than simply buying bars, while yielding some more Smithing experience. A last alternative would be to make a combination of the above, for example to buy the mithril ore and mine the coal to produce mithril bars.
- This guide focuses on how to train smithing in both cheap and quick ways, prior to the smithing aspects of Dungeoneering.
Inexpensive or ProfitableEdit
Below is a list of things for players to do before they can power level themselves effectively or even make some modest profit.
Knight's SwordEdit
The Knight's Sword is a free-to-play quest that gives 12,725 Smithing experience upon completion. This reward would elevate a level 1 smith to level 29 immediately. It is strongly recommended that people interested in Smithing do this quest as soon as possible. Even a level 3 can do it with the help of another player as a guard, since they need to be capable of defending from ice warriors and ice giants whilst mining the blurite ore.
Level 1-15Edit
Beginning smiths not willing to complete the Knight's Sword can only smelt and smith bronze. They can either mine copper and tin ore, smelt them into bars and eventually forge into items, or buy the ores from the Grand Exchange, smelt them into bars and sell them again.
Mining, Smelting and Smithing.
There are four mines which are best suited to mining copper and tin ore:
Once you are at the mine you will want to mine an equal number of copper ore and tin ore. The best idea is to add the best pickaxe you can use to your tool belt so you don't have to equip it or put it in your inventory.
Buying, Smelting, Smithing and Selling.
To use this method you have to have a reasonable amount of money (ideally 50,000 or more) to begin with.
- First of all, you need to go to the Grand Exchange and buy equal amounts of copper ore and tin ore.
- You then need to travel to Al Kharid for the smelting stage. You will then walk to the nearby furnace and smelt 14 bronze bars out of 14 copper ore and 14 tin ore. Alternatively, you can use Lumbridge's furnace and the Combat Academy bank chest.
- Store these bars in your bank for now. After all of the ores you bought have been processed, forge them into items on the anvils next to the Varrock west bank, or next to the Lumbridge furnace.
- Lastly, travel back to the Grand Exchange and sell the equipment.
Buying, Smelting and Selling. (Recommended for profit and experience)
To use this method you have to have a reasonable amount of money (ideally 50,000 or more) to begin with.
- First of all, you need to go to the Grand Exchange and buy equal amounts of copper ore and tin ore.
- You then need to travel to Al Kharid or Lumbridge for the smelting stage. You will then walk to the nearby furnace and smelt 14 bronze bars out of 14 copper ore and 14 tin ore.
- Lastly, travel back to the Grand Exchange and sell the bars for profit (as well as faster experience at this level).
Due to the high demand for bronze bars from people power-levelling Smithing, one can make a large profit from buying the ore. The only downside to this method is the slow experience rate. However, at this stage it actually works out quicker than if you were to mine the ore, smelt and smith it. Therefore this last option, Buying, Smelting and Selling, may be preferred over the second one, Buying, Smelting, Smithing and Selling.
Making Bronze Tracks (Slow, but free)
Players can go to the Artisan's Workshop and make bronze rail tracks. Information on how to make tracks can be found in-game and on the Artisan's Workshop article. At level one, players can only make bronze rails. As their Smithing levels up, players can make more parts of a track. By level 12, they can make and lay a whole bronze track.
Level 15-29Edit
Profitable Method:
One method for raising Smithing at this point is to smelt iron bars from iron ore. This earns experience faster than bronze as well as more money. However, there is not a 100% success rate for smelting iron. The success rate for iron is 50% when you are level 15, but it increases by 1% every time you level past 15, maxing out at level 45 with 80%. One can also use Superheat for 100% but it uses nature runes which eats into the profits, however it also gains moderate Magic experience.
Making Iron Tracks (Slow but Free)
Players can go to the Artisan's Workshop and make iron rail tracks. Information on how to make tracks can be found in-game and on the Artisan's Workshop article. At level 15, players can only make iron rails. As their Smithing levels up, players can make more parts of a track. By level 35, they can make and lay a whole iron track.
Level 30+Edit
Players can go to the Artisan's Workshop and make burial armour from Grade I iron ingots. Information on how to make burial armour can be found in-game and on the Artisan's Workshop article. Making burial armour from Grade I iron does lose a good bit of money, but it's still much cheaper than other power-levelling methods. Grade I iron does give 40,000/hour experience rate. It's also much cheaper than using higher grade iron or steel ingots, but using those yields faster experience rates.
Level 30-50Edit
At level 30 players unlock the ability to smelt steel bars which is a very common method for raising Smithing in free-to-play. The reason behind this is that it is possible to make money faster than most other free-to-play money making methods whilst training Smithing.
Profitable Method
If you want to make a profit from Smithing at this stage players should smelt steel bars. Although it is very slow, and takes hours to level it up, it still grants small amounts of money. To do this the following is needed:
It is recommended that you buy these ores rather than mining them as you will make a profit anyway.
If you still want to mine the ore, the recommended spots would be:
- For iron ore: East Varrock Mine
- For coal: The Mining Guild (Level 60 mining required to enter). Since the Dungeoneering update, one of the best places is the Dwarven Mine resource dungeon which contains 13 coal spawns and has bank deposit box.
If players were to buy the ore, smelt it into steel bars and sell it back on the Grand Exchange they would make a profit of -11 per bar.
Level 50+Edit
Mithril bars can be smelted at this level, giving 30 experience each. They sell for 1,194 in the Grand Exchange, with the mithril ore and four coal costing 922. Roughly 250 bars can be made per hour, for a profit of 68,000.Using Superheat Item, you make a -168 profit provided you use a fire staff and purchase the nature runes. This also allows for the most efficient use of smelting urns, which cost an additional 463 per urn and fills every 25 bars. This method also lets you smelt around 1000 bars per hour or more depending on how active you are.
Note: For those players who have acquired a coal bag from the Dungeoneering skill, it is recommended to smelt steel bars instead since each inventory can produce 472.5 experience compared to 630 experience from mithril bars but with almost double the amount of profit (~4K per inventory instead of 2K), or mix the two by making 14 steel and 13 mithril (635 experience/inventory).
Most of the time, depending on the price of nature runes, casting Superheat Item to smelt mithril bars is a very reliable method. It makes for a profit of -168 per bar and yields high amounts of experience, around 83,000 per hour (1000 x (30 smithing experience + 53 magic exp) = 83,000), or 89,000 per hour with urns (1000 x ((30 x 120%) + 53) = 89,000) distributed across Magic and Smithing. It does require some starting capital and a Magic level of 43.
The chart to the right shows the rate of experience gained by Superheating mithril bars at a rate of 2600 per hour. It assumes you start at a Magic level of 43 and Smithing level of 50 (the minimum for this method). Level 99 Magic is reached in about 90 hours using this method alone.
Dungeoneering Level 55+Edit
Gaining 55 Dungeoneering and 20,000 dungeoneering tokens will allow a player to obtain the scroll of efficiency. This scroll will give a chance to save one bar while smithing bars outside Daemonheim floors. It is especially useful in power levelling which can possibly save 10% of cash needed to train a skill. Since you have a chance of saving one bar per item, it is better to smith a 3-bar item such as platelegs instead of 5-bar items like platebodies if the object is to reduce cost. This is because for a 3-bar item you will stand a chance of saving 1 bar out of 3, a saving of 33%, whereas for 5-bar items you will still only save one bar, but this time out of 5, reducing the possible savings to 20%. Of course, the tradeoff between the speed of 5-bar items and the savings of 3-bar items must be considered. For precise power levelling costs please proceed below.
Power levelling (Expensive)Edit
Power levelling mainly uses metal bars for Smithing, raising a quick experience incurring a maximum loss of cash. Basically, players can select between speed or less cost, even in between these power levelling methods. All the power levelling loss is calculated by buying the bars at market price, smithing them and then selling the products at market price. If the products cannot be sold at GE the loss would be even more, up to 20% up. Casting the High Level Alchemy spell on certain smithed items can further reduce the cost of power smithing, with the time spent alching as the compromise.
Important: Using scroll of efficiency requires 55 Smithing. That means a player cannot have the reduced cost until they obtain the scroll, and a player with lower Smithing still has to suffer from the higher power level cost. In order to boost xp rates, one player can use portable forges which gives +10% bonus xp. It allows to save bars from smithing on the anvil, and also provides extra bars when smelting. As portable forges only lasts 5 minutes, the best place to train to save banking time is the Lumbridge bank chest, located north of the lodestone (the unofficial world for F2P forge hosting is W7). It is also highly recommended to set a bank preset in order to quickly fill your inventory and avoid wasting time which could significantly increase cost per xp, as the use of portable forges is a quite expensive method.
Level 15Edit
Iron equipment can be smithed. Iron equipment is currently the best way to power level Smithing for players (except for very experienced smiths), for low cost of iron bars and large experience outcome. A list of loss per experience for individual equipment is obsolete since smithed equipment can rarely be sold properly.
Level 16Edit
The bronze plateskirt can be smithed. The loss using bronze plateskirts to power level is 11.2 per experience.
Note It is advised that you stick to making iron platebodies over bronze platebodies if you are power levelling because of the small price difference in bronze and iron bars.
Level 33Edit
The iron platebody can be smithed. The loss using iron platebodies to power level is 1.18 per experience. Having the scroll of efficiency used will reduce the cost to 0.22 coins per experience point.
Since the update of occult floors for Dungeoneering, the bar cost has been slightly changed for the experienced players. Currently the most expensive iron item smithed with 3 bars is iron 2h sword. The loss using iron chainbodies to power level is 7.96 per experience point. Having the scroll of efficiency used will reduce the cost to 6.37 per experience point.
In conclusion, iron chainbodies may sometimes be more cost-effective than the platebodies, but with the price of iron items subject to fluctuation, please update the data if the market has changed.
Iron items are the most efficient way for lower level smiths to power level in F2P worlds. Using the Western Varrock Bank and the anvil across the road south of it, it takes roughly 35 seconds to convert 25 bars into 5 platebodies for a total of 625 experience. One can gain plenty of experience in minutes by running to the bank and back for iron bars.
If Smithing at the Varrock west bank the experience/hour from iron platebodies can be around 90,000 if enough attention is paid
Level 34Edit
The Steel nails can be smithed. The loss using steel nails to power level is 8.5 coins per experience.
If smithing at the Varrock west bank with reasonable attention paid around 97k xp/hr can be attained.
Level 68Edit
The Mithril platebody can be smithed. The loss using mithril platebodies to power level is 14.7 coins per experience point. Having scroll of efficiency used will reduce the cost to 14.3 coins per experience point.
If smithing at the Varrock west bank with reasonable attention paid around 130,000 experience/hr can be attained.
Level 88Edit
The Adamant platebody can be smithed. The loss using adamant platebodies to power level is 13.6 coins per experience point. Adamant platebodies are currently the most efficient way to power level smithing in free worlds. The smithed platebodies may be high alched or sold to the Grand Exchange. Having scroll of efficiency used will reduce the cost to 12.9 coins per experience point.
If smithing at the Varrock west bank with reasonable attention paid around 162,000 experience point/hr can be attained.
Profit making through smithingEdit
Smithing with profit usually results in very slow experience, mainly due to the low experience outcome smelting the bars alone, which is essential for profit making. The best place to smelt bars is Lumbridge as the bank chest and the furnace are really close together. If you want to train smithing at Al Kharid, try using this trick: Rest until run mode is 100. Smelt the bars (run). Run to the furnance and the bank instead of walking, when your run mode is 20 or below rest either when you reach the furnace or the bank. Rest until your run mode is 100 again. Another good place to smelt bars is Falador. You can smelt the bars at the Falador furnace and use the West Falador Bank. If your magic is 43 or above, and you're willing to risk losing some money in the process, you can superheat ores to make bars. You can use this spell at the Grand Exchange and as soon as you're done, you can sell the bars. If you run out of runes, you can buy more. To figure out if you are to lose or gain money with the Superheat Item spell, use this table.
Smelting steel barsEdit
At level 30, Steel bars can be smithed using one Iron ore and two pieces of Coal. Various ways of obtaining the ores are available: mining, buying from GE or a combination of both. Coal is mined much slower than iron, causing many players to buy coal and mine iron ores. Smelting 100 steel bars yields 1750 experience. Buying and selling the materials on the GE currently nets -11.
Smelting other barsEdit
Currently, smelting other bars is less efficient and doesn't yield a much higher experience compared to steel bars, but if you cannot use that method, iron or mithril aren't bad to make a profit. Most of the time smelting Steel bars is the best way to make money applying the smithing skill. From time to time, due to shifting Grand Exchange prices, other bars become a better alternative, for example Iron and Mithril bars. Mithril bars currently net 272, adamant bars currently net 587, and rune bars currently net 1,588.
Superheating barsEdit
This is a combination method explained here. The lowest requirement is 30 smithing and produces steel bars. More experienced smiths can, at levels 50, 70, and 85, produce mithril, adamant and Rune bar respectively. A magic level of 43 is always required for this method in order to utilise the Superheat Item spell.
Superheating whilst mining coal can increase the number of bars produced before needing to return to the bank. If buying ores from the GE to smelt mithril bars, around 35,000 smithing experience and 88,000 magic experience with a profit of 70-90,000 gp can be gained per hour.
Efficient Inventory Smelting Edit
This table is to guide you how to fill the 28 spots in your inventory in the most effective way when smelting bars. It can also be used as a guide whilst mining, but then it assumes the pickaxe is equipped or in the toolbelt. The column at the left tells you which bars are produced and the column next to it tells you which ores one's inventory should contain in order to make these bars. Please notice this method is before the coal bag was released.
If using the coal bag, you can carry 81 coal in the space of one spot. nearly doubling the amount of bars you can make a trip(except for bronze and iron)
Here is a list of smelting bars with coal bag.
|Best when smelting only Steel bars
Best when smelting only Mithril Bars
Use 81+3 coal when smelting no steel
Best when smelting only Adamant Bars
Use 81+9 coal when smelting no steel.
Profit versus ExperienceEdit
For a player to train smithing repeatedly, switching between power levelling and profit is essential. While smelting steel bars can yield profit of possibly 80,000 in a few hours, money losing through power levelling is even faster, making this skill nearly impossible to train if not treated properly. It is not advised to directly make equipment using your own mined ores, since mining costs time and bars are difficult to be transported due to their weight. The process should be split up to several parts, picking the most efficient ones, most probably would not match in the training process. For example, training by using iron bars and earning through smelting steel bars are not related at all, if you buy the iron bars, iron ores and coal separately (not using bought iron ores to smelt iron bars).
Profit and experience per hour ratesEdit
The table below shows the experience points per hour rates and profit of superheating any metal. It is assumed that a fire staff is used and that all ores, nature runes and bars are sold and bought at the Grand Exchange market price. Remember that prices may always vary.
Smithing XP/hr
Magic XP/hr
Total XP/hr
|Iron bar
|Silver bar
|Steel bar
|Steel bar
|Gold bar
|Mithril bar
|Mithril bar
|Adamant bar
|Adamant bar
|Rune bar
|Rune bar
In order to maximise experience, make sure you withdraw the exact amount of ores needed to maximise the bars you can smelt before you need to withdraw ores again. When using a coal bag, fill your inventory with coal, put the coal into the bag and then withdraw all the ores and the resting coal. When all the ores are in your inventory press the 'esc' button to close the bank quicker and to save time. Once most of the ores are smelted into bars, click to open the bank exactly at the same time the last ore is turned into a bar. If superheating without a coal bag, a quick preset can be made with the appropriate ores to make for even faster banking.
Artisans' WorkshopEdit
The table below shows the experience points per hour rates and cost/experience points for smithing Burial armour. It is assumed that 370 pieces of armour are smithed per hour. It is also taken into consideration that when not following Suak's instructions and smithing any random piece of armour instead, 25% of the time the armour part smithed will still coincide with the one assigned by Suak, thus giving the player the 10% XP bonus.
|Ingot type
|No bonus
|+2% Bonus
|+10% Bonus
|+12% bonus
|Iron ingot I
|Iron ingot II
|Iron ingot III
|Steel ingot I
|Steel ingot II
|Steel ingot III
- No bonus means smithing any piece of armour without following Suak's instructions and without having bought the Quick Learner reward.
- +2% Bonus means smithing any piece of armour without following Suak's instructions and having bought the Quick Learner reward.
- +10% bonus means smithing the piece of armour specified by Suak's instructions and without having bought the Quick Learner reward.
- +12% bonus means smithing the piece of armour specified by Suak's instructions and having bought the Quick Learner reward.
Armour/Weaponry SmithingEdit
The table below shows the XP per hour rates of smithing metal bars into armour or weapons. It's assumed that in order to maximize experience points, The anvils located in the West of Varrock are being used and the bank next to them.
|1 Bar
|2 Bars
|3 Bars
|5 Bars
|Bronze bar
|Iron bar
|Steel bar
|Mithril bar
|Adamant bar
|Rune bar
- 1 Bar: Includes Daggers, Helms, Hatchets, Maces, Swords and Arrowtips
- 2 Bars: Includes Scimitars, Longswords and Sq Shields
- 3 Bars: Includes Warhammers, Battleaxes, Chainbodies, Kiteshields, 2h Swords, Platelegs and Plateskirts
- 5 Bars: Includes Platebodies
Determining Profit & CalculationsEdit
Ideally, gaining experience while making a profit is what players strive to achieve. If this is not possible, then players strive to minimise the loss involved. Therefore, some calculation is necessary to determine exactly how much money is gained or lost per experience gained, and to minimise the loss or maximize the profit.
Profit/loss for smelting barsEdit
For a given bar, the price of smelting the bar can be calculated easily by adding the prices of the individual ores (optionally added to that is the price of the nature rune if Superheat Item is used.) The profit then is simply the price of the bar minus the cost of the materials. If the profit is positive, money is gained; if it's negative, money is lost. If this value is p, then the profit or loss per experience is p/x where x is the experience gained by smelting a single bar.
Profit/loss for smithing barsEdit
For any given item, let n be the number of bars required to make that item. If k is the cost of one bar and x is the price of the item made, then the profit is simply x – nk. If the profit is positive, money is gained; if it is negative, money is lost. If this value is p, then the profit or loss per experience is p/e where e is the experience gained by smithing a single bar.
Profit/loss for smelting and smithing barsEdit
For a given item, let a be the number of bars required to make that item. If b is the cost of the ores required to make one bar, and c is the price of the item made, then the profit is simply c-ab. If the profit is positive, money is gained; if it is negative, money is lost. If this value is p, then the profit or loss per experience is p/(e+f) where e is the experience gained by smithing a single item and f is the experience gained by smelting a single bar.
Dungeoneering TrainingEdit
With the introduction of Dungeoneering, a new and most importantly free way to train Smithing has opened up. Though the process is more time consuming than most other methods of training Smithing, the gold piece free nature of this training is ideal for players who are low on money or simply wish not to spend money on ores or mining.
The way to train Smithing in Daemonheim revolves about smelting bars and smithing weapons, then selling back the latter. Ores can be obtained from limited resources throughout dungeon, or bought with Rusty coins from Smugggler.
Adding a pickaxe to tool belt requiring higher level than you have will grant the best available pickaxe until your level exceeds level of pickaxe, thus taking whatever the best pickaxe you can is recommended. You may have a high smithing level and buying a high-tiered ore from smuggler and smith a pickaxe, adding it to your tool belt regardless of your mining level.
Buying ores from Smuggler gives a slow, steady way to train smithing level, which is far more reliable than mined ores in Daemonheim. The hardest complexity should be played so you can make use of the smuggler's shop. The most cost-effective way is to stick with Novite (Tier 1) two-hand swords or mauls. The higher tier ores can only give much fewer experience per cost, and Novite platebodies although gives more experience per smithing interval, sell for the same price as 2h and mauls, thus reducing the total experience gained in each run considering capital usage.
Each 2h sword or maul is made from 4 novite ores. Each ore costs 420 coins, and each weapon can be sold for 420 coins, or 560 with low alchemy and 840 with high alchemy. It results in 1260 coins (or 840-1120 plus 50 per essence used) for every 84 experience gained. It means efficiency is increased by about 1/3 if High Alchemy is used, but be aware you may trade time for extra Magic and Smithing experience. A Salve orb (unlocked at 8 Crafting) can be made from one salve cloth and one thread (for a one-time investment of 430 coins). This is a cheap alternative to staff or wand, and all three kinds of item provide infinite supply of fire runes for Alchemy spells.
Smelting in Daemonheim is updated so that it is faster than smelting steel but slower than power-levelling. Smithing weapons is significantly faster. However, as long as any other players in the team have shared experience on, the smithing experience gained will be divided equally among all the sharing player and the smelter. It is recommended to solo a dungeon to use this method.
Artisans WorkshopEdit
The more recently released training method of smithing, is proven a convenient alternative to the process of smelting and smithing metal equipment.
The workshop differs from regular training in three ways: The large amount of time consumption, automated storage and disposal of material, and the raw material associated.
Using the workshop does not require iron or steel bars. Iron ore and Coal are required though, although they can be deposited in note form, saving large amount of banking time. The training process is simple: Withdraw ingots, smith burial armour, deposit and repeat. Generally the workshop is recommended for training at low cost, in which players smith iron miner armour using grade 1 ingots. Ignoring the +10% experience bonus, the training cost is about 4.73 coins per experience point.
Although using better ingots to smith armour will yield significantly better experience, it is generally not recommended as the potential cost would be very large. The experience per hour when using iron ingot i is 40,000, this is pretty good experience as one can afk for 5 minutes before depositing the armour and getting more ingots.

Mathematica GuideBooks for Numerics and Symbolics published
Dear Mathgroup Readers,
A year ago at this time, I was able to write to you
that the Programming and Graphics volumes of the
Mathematica GuideBooks were released.
Some of you have written me about the books and I am
glad that the books were useful to you.
I had started working on the books in 1991, updated
them repeatedly to the latest version of Mathematica
and at this time the Programming and Graphics volume
were Mathematica Version 5 compatible.
Over the last year, I updated to Mathematica Version 5.1
the remaining two volumes--the Numerics and Symbolics
volumes. These volumes arrived last week from the printer
and are now available.
Each volume comes with a DVD containing the evaluated
notebooks for that volume (meaning including all outputs,
graphics, and animations), and the updated unevaluated
notebooks for the other three volumes (containing all
text, inputs, references, but no outputs, graphics, and
The tables of contents, prefaces, introductions,
samples, exercises, additional problems and solutions,
and related materials can be found at:
I hope that also these two volumes will be useful for
some of you Mathematica users.
Any feedback concerning the books is welcome.
Michael Trott

Aggressive behaviour to people and dogs
Hi there, wondering if there is any good advice out there regarding training our 12 month old beautiful shepherd.
Della is new to the house hold, approx 5 weeks. She has had 3 previous owners all of which have given up on her, something we do not want to do. We have a 12 year old cross breed female in the house and there are no issues, but as soon as we step outside and see another dog all **** breaks loose.
She also has the tendency to lunge at passers by and visiting family, only occassionally, but we have to be very wary with her. When there are no distractions she is fantastic, we can get sits, downs, stays from her, but as soon as something grabs her attention this goes out the window as if she goes deaf lol.
Whats the best technique or any great advice would be more than welcome.
The only advice I would give is to spend as much time as you can desensitising her to other dogs. I would find something of value to her (a ball, Frisbee, food) and train her to focus on you using the high value item as a reward, once you are confident with her response to your focus command, start taking her on walks, however keep a fair bit of distance between you and other dogs, even if you have to cross the road and command her to focus (rewarding her with your value item once she does). Give her space and time to gain confidence and learn how to behave properly. Try to set her up with situations where she will have more success' than failures. Eventually you may be able to reduce the distance between her and another dog so that you can pass by. I wouldn't bother with allowing her to meet and greet strange dogs - she doesn't need to do this, she does need to learn to ignore them.
With the lunching at people, I would start walking her with a head halter type device such as a 'canny collar' and also a check chain (click both the canny collar and check chain onto the lead - this is for safety if the head halter comes off for some reason then the check chain will click into action). Using a head halter will help you control her head much easier than a flat or check collar and will allow you to easily control any attempts at lunching whilst you train her out of lunging. Once she has unlearned this behaviour, and you are confident with your handling ability, you can ditch the head halter and choose a collar you are most comfortable with.
We've had our 14 month bitch for 2 weeks. She came from your neck of the woods, funnily enough. Her behaviour was the same as your dog. My husband is very firm & has trained her to focus on her rope ball. We make sure we protect her from any dogs that are too boisterous or go in too fast with her. She will now in the short time we've had her, walk past, off lead, other dogs, within a couple of paces of them. She will now also accept strangers too - although we are very cautious with her. She now looks to my husband before doing anything, she's so keen to please him. With me, she knows I'm not a dominant person, but we'll work on me in due course!! She knew from day one hubby meant every word he says to her & she's coming on so well. She loves to please him & her rope ball being thrown is better to her than any food treat - that & praise from hubby.
I'm beginning to think what she was doing was protecting her pack as things were so new to her & she was doing a great job at that. But she needed to know that is not her job - her job is to do what hubby tells her to do. We're delighted she's turning into a well balanced dog & is great fun to walk now. Switching focus seems to work well, so I'd suggest you get a rope ball (bully) as you can throw it, carry it in your pocket & they can't accidentally swallow it. Get her so interested in that so nothing else takes her attention.

Thanks, we have now got her a rope ball and we have started to get her into it. Yes at present we just avoid all other dogs if possible, not always the case, but I am sure with a lot of hard work we will get a fantastic loving dog. I do believe like you Lara that she is just adjusting to her new surroundings after having moved frequently. Time will tell.
A lot of what you need is in post 8:
My guy was "people aggressive" I did "Who pets my puppy or dog" I made the decisions for who he interacts with not him! No head halters, I used a flat collar and leash.
Never had a problem with him lunging at anyone...had he tried, I would have immediately stepped in front of him!
Pretty much as simple as that. :)
i'm by no means a trainer or have tons of experience. if i were you i would get a prong collar and give a tug and yell no! extra loud deep firm authoritative voice. let him know you are in charge and refocus his attention to you. if that doesn't work i would contact a professional.
some people just aren't firm enough and can't handle a GSD when all the dog needed from the beginning was a handler with some balls. that's a main reason there are so many in shelters IMO. those people should've gotten a cat instead.
Pretty much stand by my experience and my results with "Who Pets my Puppy or Dog", first rule in dog training..."do no harm!" :)
you don't use it to "harm" the dog, simply to refocus it. if you're hurting the dog you're using it incorrectly.
A foster we had did the same thing only less intense and never people aimed. I used a tennis ball while walking by other dogs and it worked to distract.
