Author James Ferdinand Rizza is scheduled to appear at a book signing event at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, in BrewStirs in Roselle. The Carol Stream resident will sign copies of the second edition of his "Children of the Swamp" novel.
Rizza decribes himself as a "people person," who makes lasting friends easily. He looks for the good in people, and usually manages to find it. In his book, he introduces a host of characters, and invites readers to join him on an "incredible fishing adventure."
Tate Publishing notes the book will appeal to fishermen, outdoorsmen and nature lovers alike. To find the book, visit www.tatepublishing.com.
BrewStirs Burgers, Pizza & Pub is at 101 E. Irving Park Road.
Here's an excerpt from an earlier article by Tarah Thorne about the author:
Writing since he was age 13, Rizza is an adventurer and outdoorsman. He wrote "Children of the Swamp" based on his trips to Florida's Escambia River Basin beginning in 2008.
"Children of the Swamp," published and re-published in 2011, is the story of a poet who encounters a family of swamp dwellers and becomes obsessed with the area's land.
Rizza said he had no intention of writing a book before traveling to Florida. But while there, he found himself going into the swamp with some of the people he met.
"When I looked out over the water, I knew this was it," he said. "This was the subject matter for my book."
Rizza attributes his writing success to overcoming a childhood stutter in his 20s.
"It was very hard with oral work in grade school," he said. "I leaned heavily on my writing and learned from a young age how to make up that difference."

The pups, nicknamed Ronaldo, Beckham and Crouch, and all just days old, were found by members of the public along the Norfolk coast in recent weeks.
Kieran Copeland, from Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary, said he believed people had approached the pups too closely and frightened away the mothers.
The pups will be returned to the wild later in the year.
Crouch was only five days old when he was found by a family at Holme Beach.
Successfully weaned
The next day a seven-day-old female, Ronaldo, was rescued by a couple in a boat who saw her being rejected by a group of adult seals.
Two days later another male, Beckham, was spotted on Heacham Beach.
Mr Copeland said: "The people who rescued or found the pups appear to have acted very responsibly - only taking action once it was very clear the pups had been abandoned.
"Luckily all three pups were in good shape and we've already weaned them from tube-fed milk onto fish."
He urged anyone who spotted a seemingly abandoned pup to watch from as far away as possible for at least two hours.
He said after that, if there was still no sign of the mother, they should phone the sanctuary.

Stuffed Kishka: (Kosher Stuffed Derma)
Recipe by Alan Leonetti
This dish is really DELICIOUS, even though my recipe for Stuffed Capon Skin is easier, and I think even better. Try them both. My recipe for the Stuffed Capon Skin is #92178 here on RecipeZaar. You may also want to use the Kishka stuffing and the Capon skin, therefore combining the two recipes. If you have questions e-mail me: email@example.com
Top Review by slinow
Haven't tried it as yet but this is the best recipe I've seen as yet. Cannot find a Kosher Butcher shop where I live to buy the casing so I'll prepare it by rolling the stuffing in aluminum foil boiling it for about 3 hours and then if it doesn't fall apart from boiling it brown it in the oven for about 15 minutes at a time watching very closely.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 108 inch clean beef casings (buy at a Kosher butcher if you can find one or at a gourmet store)
- 473.18 ml flour
- 236.59 ml matzo meal
- 7.39 ml salt
- 14.79 ml salt (for boiling)
- 1.23 ml pepper
- 4.92 ml pepper (for boiling)
- 236.59 ml melted schmaltz (chicken fat) or 236.59 ml chopped suet
- 118.29 ml grated carrot
- 1 small onion, grated
- 4.92 ml poultry seasoning
Directions See How It's Made
- Wash casings in cold water and cut into 12 inch lengths.
- Tie one end of each length tightly with white sewing thread.
- Turn casings inside out.
- Combine flour, matzo meal, seasonings and schmaltz or suet. Adjust the poultry seasoning to taste. You may wish to add additional poultry seasoning.
- Fill each casing loosely with this stuffing and tie the remaining end.
- Drop into rapidly boiling water and boil 10 minutes.
- Drain.
- When cool enough to handle, scrape fat off the casings with the dull edge of a knife.
- Drop into rapidly boiling water (about a gallon) to which you have added 1 tablespoon salt and at least 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 3 hours.
- Remove from water.

2017 Executive Resume Trends
2017 Executive Resume Trends
January 6, 2017
Lisa Rangel
Chameleon Resumes
Job Search
Resume Writing
Career Issues
Just like 2016, 2017 brings new and innovative ways to present your resume, as well as tactics to utilize the information captured during the resume building process. In some cases the 2016 Trends are still very prevalent and still need to be incorporated into designing and writing a new executive resume document.
In addition to an eye-catching design layout, achievement-driven bullets and strong word choice to define your brand, as demonstrated in these executive resume samples, these 9 executive resume trends will help you ensure you are ahead of the competition and viewed as a leader in your field.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #1: Make the most of your Prime Resume Real Estate.
The top third of your resume is Prime Resume Real Estate. Create a robust Summary to capture the hiring managers eye. Use this space wisely to include what position you are targeting and a few pointed achievements that support why a hiring manager should call you for an interview for that targeted position. Don't use the space to state the obvious with a "summary" title or fluffy attribute descriptions.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #2: Write Tight.
Once you write your resume, challenge yourself to identify words to delete from your content. Write concisely. Doing so will help create white space and make the reader's eye flow over your resume with ease leading to an interview call.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #3: Customize for the audience–not only the position.
Sending a resume to a third party recruiter, you need to motivate them to want to send you to their client. Whereas, when sending your resume directly to a hiring manager, you need to address how you will create results for them and make their life more productive in hiring you. Factor this perspective in when sending your resume to a corporate recruiter or through an employee referral. Ask yourself, "What is their motivation to take the next step with your resume?" and address that point.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #4: Make it easy for readers to digest your information.
White space, white space, white space…Cramming content in multiple, information-dense, multi-lined paragraphs with little white space around each one is enough to make a reader go, "Next!"
When recruiters see these types of documents, they don't want to read them. Make it easy for your readers to find information using bullets, sectioned off information blocks and simple graphics to move the eye through the document.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #5: Lead with your achievements early.
Put your best foot forward leading with your accomplishments early in the summary and in the employment sections. Gone are the days where there was a long summary or no summary. In today's employment marketplace with shrinking attention spans, an executive must lead with a strong first impression. The Summary should contain their crowning, most relevant achievements. This will keep the reader engaged in 5-10 second increments and motivate them to keep reading.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #6: Treat your resume as your personal marketing collateral.
Just as you would have a business card or your biography on a company webpage, your executive resume is an extension of your personal brand. Your executive resume is your personal marketing collateral.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #7: Speak to benefits, not just your experience.
Do not lead with years of experience if you want to be hired on merit. For example, "I have reduced operating expenses by 23% in six months" is much more interesting to an employer versus, "I have 30 years of sales experience." The latter elicits a yawn, but the former piques one's interest and leaves the person wanting to see where else you've made a tangible impact.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #8: Alignment with content your online and mobile profiles.
An executive resume does not exist in a vacuum anymore. It's not the only way someone can find you – nor should it be. Ensuring your resume is in alignment with your branded.me page, LinkedIn profile, twitter account, blog, and other social media pages that are pertinent to your field is paramount. A hiring manager may find your work on your personal blog, but when they reach out to ask for your credentials and you send your resume, you want to make sure your online presence is in alignment with your offline/resume presence. Consistency is important. Authenticity is everything.
2017 EXECUTIVE RESUME TREND #9: Use the resume creation process for other documents.
Don't use the resume creation process to only create a resume. Use these accomplishment-gathering process and personal branding development exercises to create executive bios, 1-page networking resumes, infographics, social media bios, etc. Those that say the resume is dead are wrong. The resume might not be used in every situation every time, but the process with which you create your resume will support the creation of traditional and contemporary documents that are being requested at the executive-level job search with increasing frequency.

Neither is particularly known for his relay abilities on the Arizona track team, but Nick Ross is certainly passing the baton to Avery Mickens.
Sitting in a hotel room in Fayetteville, Arkansas, awaiting the NCAA West Prelims in which they would compete this weekend for the Wildcats, the road roommates talked by phone about their mentor-mentee relationship, one that has lifted to greater heights.
They're able to discuss fitness regimens and leaping techniques, and how to navigate everything from the runway to the classroom. Mostly, they discuss centimeters, and how important they are.
They can't escape them. They live their lives by them.
Ross, a redshirt senior out of Murrieta, California, needed to come 3.75 centimeters short to get where he is today.
He has been jumping for what seems like a lifetime, so entering the 2012 Olympic trials he knew that every last hair counted. When he finished third with a jump of 7 feet 5.75 inches — the top three Americans would advance to the Olympics, it was thought — the joy was short-lived. An Olympic-standard jump was 7 feet, 7 inches.
"Three centimeters," Ross says, and you can almost hear him shaking his head. "Man to some people, it barely seems like anything. To me, every centimeter is the world."
Mickens, meanwhile, needed to be 15.24 centimeters long to get where he is today.
Unlike Ross, who was destined for the highest levels of college athletics early in his high school career, this is relatively new to Mickens. Mickens only started jumping as a freshman in high school, and major attention trickled in slowly.
Coming into college, Mickens' personal record in the long jump was 22 feet, eight inches. He didn't expect to make much of an impact. When he hit 23-2 in his first college meet — six inches farther, 15.24 centimeters — his eyes opened. He'd made real, tangible progress in just a few months. A few meets into the season, he recorded a 23-6 leap, another PR. When he almost casually hit 24 feet midway through the season, he had to recalibrate his own expectations.
"I thought I would come in, improve a little bit, and take it slow," Mickens said. "I mean, 24 feet, that was one of the main goals I had coming into college, but when I hit that so early, I had to think bigger."
Try 24-11.25.
Mickens took home his first Pac-12 men's field athlete of the week after closing in on 25 feet at the Wildcats' dual meet at Oregon on April 8, while also competing for Arizona in the high jump, and 400-meter and 1,600-meter relays.
His collegiate season may have ended on Friday night in Fayetteville — when he failed to advance the NCAA semifinals — but now that he has exceeded even his wildest hopes, he's going to push for the learning to continue.
"He's explained the ways to organize every single round, how to have everything straight for track and school, how to get that right," Mickens said of Ross. "How to keep your body healthy but also how to keep have fun in college. These are life pointers. Being here with him is important. If I'd just heard about him and didn't know him, it's 'Oh, he's this one special guy.' With Nick, he's a real person. He's not superhuman, he's human."
That has been proved time and time again in Ross' career, through three ankle surgeries, a knee surgery and a near-miss at an Olympic bid.
That's when he said he thought of quitting, of using all his misfortunes as an excuse.
He didn't quit.
He stayed, to leap untouchable heights and to teach a new kid a thing or two.
"There's a quote, 'Things get worse before they get better,'" Ross said. "I rely on quotes like that, on my trainer, Charlie, and my friends. I rely on friends telling me I'll jump 7-8 here soon, and I've tried to put that on Avery. 'You're going to jump 24.' 'Really?' 'Man, my best was 22, and we see it in you.' Sometimes that's all it takes, someone sitting there and telling you could do it."
Someday in the near future, Mickens will deal with his own set of misfortune, and he'll have to summon the strength to teach some wide-eyed freshman about life and leaping.
And the baton will be passed once more.

Online Holy Communion:
Throughout the history of the Church the Means of Grace have been offered and received within the context of the localized, worshiping community. While preaching has sometimes been done in the open fields, prayers offered at home, hymns sung at work, and Holy Communion taken to shut-ins and to those in hospitals, for the most part the Means of Grace have usually been reserved for celebration within the Church as an expression of that particular community's spiritual life. Given such a traditional, safe, and controlled setting for their conduct, it is not at all surprising that many are uncomfortable when the Sacraments and the other sacramental acts of the Church are offered outside what has become their normative realm. This sense of ill-ease is nowhere more acutely felt today than when the Means of Grace are offered through the media of the internet.
Questions like these, and many others, have been shot my direction by friends and fellow Christians, by clergy and laity, by interested individuals and by those who are highly skeptical of the Internet as a viable means of communicating the Gospel and conveying God's Grace. Indeed, several pundits have expressed significant disagreement with my theology and practice of offering Holy Communion through the Internet. One of these authors, the clergy blogger at Padre Complex, has offered up some thought-provoking remarks which merit consideration:
The Covenant Community:
The "complex Padre" is, of course, correct in his observation that Holy Communion should be experienced within community. Indeed, I entirely agree that the Eucharist is most perfectly celebrated within the context of the worshiping Church. As I have clearly stated in sermons and papers that can be found elsewhere on my website, the Sacrament of Holy Communion is a Means of Grace in and through which the believer receives the nourishing, life transforming Real Presence of Jesus. Through faithfully partaking of the Sacrament Christians are brought together within the mystical Body of Christ and are empowered for mission and ministry through our Lord's sanctifying Grace. As such, Holy Communion can never be thought of as an "individualistic" experience, even if one is physically alone when partaking the elements. While perhaps being somewhat unconventional, I certainly do not have a "very individualistic" approach to the Sacraments nor to worship. While one can worship God "by oneself," as I have done many times during morning and evening prayer, one is never really alone in the worship of God. "Where two or three are gathered together" is, truly, a powerful promise of our Lord's Real Presence, but it is not in any way a limitation on the ability of Jesus to be present; in other words, there is no physical "quorum" required for Christians to worship or for the Means of Grace to be true and effective in all their marvelous manifestations.
Do I consider it immeasurably better for one to partake of the Means of Grace and, most especially, Holy Communion within a physically localized community of believers? Absolutely. I have never encouraged anyone to "forsake the gathering of the saints together." Indeed, just as my Audio Sermons on the Internet should never be thought of as an alternative to listening to the preached Word within a localized Congregation, so also my offering of the Lord's Supper over the Internet should never be thought of as an alternative to partaking the Sacrament within a localized Congregation. Indeed, I have never intended for anyone to receive any of the Means of Grace through my ministry to the exclusion of receiving them within a Church. Rather, they are being offered in addition to, and in supplementation of, the normative experience of the Means of Grace within a gathered, physically localized, worshiping Congregation. True, there are times and places in which it may be impossible, or at least very difficult, for someone to attend public worship, hear the preached Word, and receive the blessed Sacrament. In such cases my offering the Means of Grace over the Internet serves a useful purpose, standing in the gap that one's circumstances have created. But such are exceptions to the rule. In most cases it is my conviction that the vast majority of those who receive the Means of Grace offered through my ministry do so in order to supplement and amplify that which they are already receiving within their localized community of the faith. Whichever the case may be, in any given circumstance I believe that when one is partaking of the sacrament via the internet, one is actually partaking within the extended ontological community of the Church gathered not just where I am celebrating at the Table of the Lord, but -- indeed -- within the one holy catholic and apostolic Church of which all Christians are a part. Indeed, I can and do make the argument that, even through the Internet, when one partakes of the Means of Grace one is doing so within the mystical Body of Christ ... His Church.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is the preeminent spiritual expression of the Church; regardless of its size, shape, place, date, name, denomination, or style, all Christian congregations are nevertheless part of the Universal Body of Christ as exemplified in the Eucharist. Thinking of the Church as being bound to a single local congregation or a particular group of people in worship, comes dangerously close to denying not just the doctrine of the "Communion of the Saints" but also the very idea of the "catholic Church" as understood and articulated by Protestant Christians. To put this simply: the worshiping community which I pastor, and within which I preside as celebrant at the Table of the Lord, is metaphysically interlinked with, and ontologically indistinguishable from, the faith-communities within which all other Christians partake of the blessed Sacrament ... we are all part of the One Body of our One Lord Jesus Christ. If this is true -- and, by faith, we do believe that it is so -- then why is it any more difficult for the Holy Spirit to extend the Real Presence of Christ from multitudinous localized congregations to Christian believers who are joining, in faith, with such congregations by means of the internet? Put another way, if the Body of Christ is not limited by temporal or spatial limitations, why do we -- in our human dogmatism -- feel the need to limit the Body of Christ and the Means of Grace to just those who can be, physically, a part of a worshipping community? Are Christians only part of the Body of Christ when they are temporally and spatially present at Church? Of course not! Likewise, I believe that the Community is also present with a lone believer who is worshiping Christ and receiving the Means of Grace even by long-distance, over the internet. Temporal and spatial limitations may limit us, but they do not limit God or the Holy Spirit's ability to convey Grace to a believer.
The Eucharistic Elements:
Another impediment to online Holy Communion is the impossibility of transporting the consecrated elements through the internet. Some day it may well be possible to "beam" the bread and the wine through the internet to communicants but as of today this is still beyond our technological capability. Many critics of "Holy Communion on the Web" have focused upon this deficiency, asserting that it seriously -- if not completely -- undermines the ability of the Eucharist to function through the virtual media; and they are correct ... this is a critical issue. Breaking the bread, smelling the wine, and tasting each is both a physiological and typological experience of God's gracious provision; just as the bread and the wine brings nourishment and refreshment, so also Christ Jesus enters our lives to nourish and refresh us. Hence, the elements, as instruments for conveying the Real Presence of Jesus, are central to the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
So, how can the Eucharist function through the internet where the bread and the wine cannot be physically conveyed to the communicants? Put another way: if, in the Lord's Supper, the Real Presence (i.e., the Grace) of Jesus is conveyed to the communicant through the instrumentality of the consecrated bread and wine, how can the Sacrament function over the internet where the physical elements cannot be conveyed to the receiver? Audio Preaching requires the communication of sounds, but current technology enables the transmission of sound and, indeed, even of video, hence this means of grace can function in the virtual realm without too much difficulty. The same cannot be said for the Eucharist. Or ... can it? What is to keep the internet-based participant from having the elements prepared and ready for receiving on their end of the world-wide-web? Must the bread and wine be in close spatial and temporal proximity to the celebrant at the Table? If so, how close must it be ...or, stated in reverse, how far away can the bread and the cup be before it is no-longer considered "consecrated?"
As I have considered this issue the most surprising discovery I have made is that we -- the church -- frequently have what amounts to a "magical" understanding of consecration. Yes, I said "magical" ... for that is how many actually treat the process and the elements which have been consecrated. It's a misunderstanding of the Christian conception of holy consecration, but it is nevertheless one which runs rampant within the thinking and acting of many Christians. For example, in the photo which begins the current section of this article I am pictured consecrating the bread and the cup; my hands are held over the elements as I pray the words:
This epicletical prayer, or one similar to it, has been part of most Eucharistic liturgies throughout the history of the Church. The symbolic acts -- hand motions, the lifting of the elements, the formal breaking of the bread etc. -- are all features of an historic celebratory style which I was taught in Seminary, and from which I draw great personal meaning in my own spiritual walk. However, not being one to take myself too seriously, I will often call this act "zapping the elements." These consecrated (i.e., "zapped") elements are then received by believers as Means of Grace, and are treated with the respect they are due as instruments through which the Real Presence of Jesus is transmitted. But is it just these elements -- just this loaf and just this cup under the hands of the celebrant -- which are consecrated? Is the Eucharistic consecration only a spatially and temporally localized action, or does the prayer consecrate elements which are not present under the celebrant's hands, nor even within close proximity to the celebrant?
Consecration is not a magic act, nor is it superstition, it is a prayerful liturgical act of the Church in which the celebrant calls upon the Holy Spirit to bless the elements, wherever they are. This is true for the elements localized underneath the celebrant's hands, elements resting elsewhere on the Altar, elements placed at stations around a large congregation, and even elements in Fellowship Halls or auxiliary buildings where an overflow congregation is participating in the worship service via large projection screens. While certainly not conventional, nor even normative, I have become convinced that this also holds true even through radio, television, telephone, live streaming internet transmissions, audio and video recordings, and even on-demand streaming downloads. Human conceptions and limitations of time and space are never an impediment to God's ability or desire to grant divine Grace. Every celebration of the Eucharist which has ever occurred or will ever occur, has taken place at the exact same moment for God ... in God's eternal "now." Likewise, every celebration of the Eucharist, held anywhere in the universe, occurs at the exact same place for God ... in God's omnipresence. Hence, it doesn't matter if the bread and the cup are not in close physical or temporal proximity to the celebrant -- God is present, and God knows the intent and the faith of the communicant, even if they are receiving through the internet and with elements that are on their own side of the connection. If the intent is to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and if their faith is focused upon Christ Jesus while partaking, then what we have is certainly a Means of Grace and, I am convinced, a true expression and experience of the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
Holy Communion Among the Means of Grace:
I don't believe that it is wise, or even possible, to confine God within a paradigm of our own creation and assume that such is "all that God must be," or "the only way that God's Grace can be received." Indeed, I believe that we must take great care to not limit the functionality of any of the Means of Grace to just the temporal and physical locality of a church sanctuary or immediate congregation. We don't do this with prayer: although the gathered "prayers of the people" are of great value, we don't deny the efficacy of the prayers of a lone person. We don't do it with the reading of Scripture: while public reading is important, personal reading and study is equally a Means of Grace. Likewise, if preaching is a Means of Grace and it is and, yet, through preaching God's Grace can be communicated over the internet, why can't the same be said for Holy Communion? I believe that this is a good question, one that is worthy of serious consideration and not just cursory dismissal. Just because people listen to my audio sermons in the privacy of their homes and on their iPods while working out at the Gym or driving in their cars, this doesn't make them any less a Means of Grace. Likewise, just because a believer is partaking the Sacrament via the internet, this doesn't make it any less a Means of Grace. Perhaps the functionality of the Means is different in kind, process, or even quality, but it is not different in its ontological substance; it is not any less the Grace of God because of the setting in which it is received or the means by which it is conveyed to us. If the this is true for preaching, it's true for the other Means of Grace.
In 1998 I began uploading audio sermons to the internet. Long before it was common place, I had a small collection of sermons available for streaming play on my website. My first attempts at this were laughable (by today's standards of quality), but it worked. To this day on my website I have a significant catalog of audio sermons, going all the way back to January 1999, available for streaming play in Real Audio format. In 2005 I added Podcasting via iTunes to my means of serving sermons on the internet. Over the years my weekly listenership has grown from just a small handful to several thousand. It continues to amaze me that such is the case, but it is ... people do listen to sermons, regularly, over the internet. My website statistics demonstrate this fact, as do my bandwidth excess charges. The emails I have received thanking me for providing these messages are such a return blessing to me that I would continue this aspect of my ministry even if not a thin dime came in to help support it. On any given Sunday morning I'll have between 100 and 120 in worship at Church; by the next Friday night more than 3000 additional internet listeners will have heard that same message and, I pray, have been touched by God's Grace in so-hearing. Would it have been better for these people to have been in the service itself and have received all the various Means of Grace that come with being a part of a worshipping community? Yes. But that they were not there doesn't make it impossible for them to receive something from the message. I have seen it happen time and time again; God's Grace is active in many ways ... particularly in ways that are beyond the narrow confines of our myopic expectations. This is certainly true and evident in the scriptural accounts of God's interaction with His people! God often chooses to work through the least likely offspring, the least likely couple, the least likely people, the least likely instrument, and the least likely girl, and frequently in the least likely places and times. God majors in blowing away human conceptions of propriety and human expectations of "how things ought to be done," preferring to use ways and means and vessels that occasion surprise and rejection from the established "religious leaders," and an unexpected response from the last, the least, and the lost. Should we be surprised that God still works this way, still calls those whom the Church would never call, and still functions in ways that defy ecclesiological rules and regulations?
Since I began offering Holy Communion on my website in 2003 I have received many dozens of e-mails concerning it. Some have been caustic, accusing me of rank disrespect for the Sacrament. Others have thanked me for providing a visual guide to the celebration of the Sacraments, often expressing surprise that Methodists can and do wear vestments, or stand behind the table to celebrate, or even use a Great Thanksgiving that is much like the Catholic Mass. I've had United Methodist clergy write to thank me for demonstrating a celebration-style that is both clean and appealing, and others thank me for my writings, audio sermons, and other teachings which communicate a sound Methodist/Anglican understanding of Sacramental Theology. And, I've had many who have written to thank me for bringing the Eucharist to them over the Internet in a way that has touched their lives and given them a new experience of the Real Presence of Jesus. In most cases they have indicated a renewed interest in attending church and, in more than once case, I have helped them to find a church in their local community to attend. In short, while there have been some who have either not understood or not appreciated the Holy Communion On the Web section of my website, most have been very positive about it in one way or another. And, for this, I give God thanks.

Despite the various cool, hip, trendy furniture shops we went to, we actually ended up buying our couch at Restoration Hardware. At the end of the day, they had the most comfortable couch we could find, in a style we liked and at a decent price. Sure we had to live with the embarrassment of being, well, hopelessly suburban - but we really liked the couch.
When we bought the couch, Kelly had a pretty long discussion with one of the clerks over style and color. The clerk managed to sell us the linen cream colored down model, assuring us that my wife's concerns that it would stain, wrinkle and lose feathers were unfounded. I, obviously, had no opinion on the matter.
Anyway, fast forward a few months, the couch arrives, I spend the greater portion of my free time on it, and a month or two after we have it, it already looks 10 years old. Yep, it's wrinkled, showing some slight stains and shedding feathers. Ugh. After a while it gets to be too much for Kelly, so she actually gets in the car and goes back to Restoration Hardware to see if they can do anything. I assume this is a fool's errand, and we're stuck with the couch until the next redecoration.
In the words of Fonzie, I was wrrrrrrrrr. Restoration Hardware, with little or no complaining, agreed to not only take back the couch we had (stains and all) for a full refund, replace it with brand new couch of a different style - but also take care of all the delivery hassles. No charge. Don't forget that like any furniture store, couches aren't inventory item. They're custom made. Hence, the usual 6 weeks waiting time for delivery after you buy one. I repeat: they took it back no charge. Wow.
I have a friend who used to work a as controller in the corporate office of Restoration Hardware. After a year, he left. He said on the creative side, it was a great place to work, on the finance side it was maddening. Taking back three month old wrinkled, stained couches for full refunds and replacing them no questions asked? I can see why. From a finance side, this is madness. But from a business side in every other sense, it is awesome.
I bring this up because fast forward two years later, Kelly and I are n the market for a bed frame and dresser. Guess where we went? Yep. Restoration Hardware. First and only stop. Needless to say, we're loyal customers for life.

Thanks for the information Lance, always great to be informed!
Here's my twitter! http://twitter.com/Shaktal
damn…... awesome.. BTW how do they calculate the distance using light years?
I think they approximate it based on the wavelength of the emissions received. Because the universe is expanding, over time the waves are forced apart (i.e. the wavelength decreases), from this they can get an approximation of the speed of the galaxy (by comparing two waves) and the distance from us.
It's amazing that you've finally got that badge Raincutter, as you know I've been following your work, and it's been a real inspiration to a small designer like myself.
It's really inspiring to see you getting that red badge, you really deserve it!
Thanks for notifying us about this Amanda, it's great to be in a marketplace where we are notified about things.
Also, if you can't find anything that suits you there, I'd recommend that you try FreelanceSwitch, it's a great website.
I hope that you can find what you are looking for!
Oh, ok, I was wrong.
Thanks for clarifying that Amanda. Does this mean that the price increments are going to take place across all of the marketplaces, or just GR and AJ?
If they were on AudioJungle then it it's because they are doing a pricing experiment accross that entire marketplace, they feel that it is undervalued given similar items pricing.
EDIT : See this thread on AJ: http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/testing-price-increments-on-audiojungle/29634
Yea, I agree with Raincutter, it's probably due to the development that's going on at the moment (according to the GraphicRiver twitter).
If you are having problems, just put the file extension at the end of the file name, this will allow you to open it up by default with your ZIP opening application. Or, you can just right-click on it (assuming you're using windows here) and choose "open with…" then chose the application you normally use.
Hope this helped!
Wow, this thread is really informative, I never even knew that the euro symbol was copywrited. Thanks for clarifying that for me, and it's great to hear that it's acceptable to use it on GraphicRiver items.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.1112 Tuesday, 30 May 2000.
Date: Monday, 29 May 2000 22:31:11 +0000
Subject: Isabella
In many productions of Measure for Measure, the two most visually
arresting moments in the play are (1) Juliet's first appearance, where
we SEE for the first time the visual evidence that she is with child;
and (2) the end of the play, where many directors decide to include
prominently in the crowd Kate Keepdown and her young child, which was
fathered by Lucio.
I mention these two instances because, whether or not Graham Bradshaw is
right about the precise nature of the law that has been violated, he is
surely right in a higher ethical and moral sense. There are children
involved here, and their welfare must be taken into account.
Think of how this fact might cause us to re-examine some parts of the
play, for example, 2.1.23FF:
'Tis very PREGNANT (emphasis added!)
The jewel that we find, we stoop and take't
Because we see it; but what we do not see
We tred upon and never think of it.
These words are spoken by Angelo, of course, after the good Escalus has
pleaded for a lighter sentence for Claudio. What has Angelo completely
missed? As the obvious pun makes clear, he has neglected to consider
the fact that Juliet is pregnant. WHAT SENSE DOES IT MAKE TO KILL
CLAUDIO AND THUS INSURE THAT CLAUDIO's CHILD WILL BE NOT ONLY CONCEIVED
It makes no sense ethically, morally, or, it seems to me, legally. Now
let's turn to the Duke. Right after having met Juliet for the first time
(2.3) and upbraiding her for being selfish, the Duke goes to Claudio and
lectures him on his need to "[b]e absolute for death"! Just like
Angelo, the Duke can't see what is right in front of his nose! Be
absolute for death when a child needs a father! What rubbish!
Finally, consider Isabella's pleas to Angelo, and ask yourself this
question: What argument does she leave out? The answer should be clear
by now: she leaves out the most important argument of all-that Claudio
has a duty to help bring up his soon-to-be-born child.
All three of these characters-Angelo, the Duke, and Isabella-suffer from
the same malady. It's not that they are vile persons; it's that they
are-and have been-far too isolated from common humanity to be able to
recognize what true justice is or how to properly implement it. This
observation lets us see the fundamental connection between MM and "judge
not, lest ye be judged." Unlike Angelo, the Duke, and Isabella, Christ
spent his time among the poor. If he were in Vienna, he would not be in
Angelo's palace or in the Duke's study or isolated with a bunch of
Monks. No, he would have been IN THE STEWS, for THERE IS WHERE THE
There's a lot more to say on this subject, especially on the idea of
justice abstractly conceived. But I'll address it later in another post.
For now, I want to end by connecting up my earlier posts about raising a
child nowadays to this last post. The problem of children-in
Shakespeare's time and ours-is still with us. In MM Shakespeare
suggests that isolation of elites and selfish concern for our own
pleasure can lead to child neglect. Well, isn't that just as true now as
it was 400 years ago? Stephen Greenblatt argues that we can only
understand Shakespeare now because his time is so different from our
own. I would suggest that the opposite is ALSO true: we understand him
because-in different ways-the problems of his time are PRECISELY the
concerns of our own!

Authors: B. Serifo Balde
Motivated by Hilbert's sixth problem on axiomatization of physics, the author is proposing a rather provocative abstract axiomatic framework called S - formalization, where S is an arbitrary physical system .The proposal is an attempt to provide a general axiomatic framework , from which mathematical frameworks of new physical theories can be formulated on firm axiomatic basis and the mathematical frameworks of subjects such as standard (nonrelativistic) quantum mechanics are naturally derived as special cases of this general axiomatic framework.

Hello Enabled,
Thank you for the amazingly detailed feedback, and for your time! And don't worry, no offence taken, in fact, harsh criticism is the best for me, makes me want to strive for perfection!
Will look into every detail you provided and then some, I won't settle for anything less! Will postpone my upload for another 1-2 weeks then, to polish even more. Can anyone answer me these 2 questions, though?
1) I have created 1 PSD main file (the index page), then built the HTML upon that. Then, I have another 10-20 PSD files with gallery boxes, hr line, etc. Maybe it would be better to work backwards and create a PSD for every page I provide instead?
2) Can I upload the file without documentation and the PSDs to check for approval, and if I get the OK, I round up the package, then upload proper? Or am I violating any rules?Thanks again, Nikos Roussounelos
I'm very glad to hear you get motivated. I do the same, it's always helped me learn more and strive for best possible quality. Regarding your questions:
1. I usually build the PSD file first. Using only Google Fonts, set to Crisp. That way, I'm sure it will be as close as possible to the HTML generated fonts. It all depends on how you can work faster and more efficient.
2. Well, if you do that, what is the purpose of learning from rejections? Reviewers don't pre-review files to inform you if you should upload the full template because it's good or not. They either reject you, or approve the file. If you do just upload and ask for a pre-review, you will get a very short message stating that you have uploaded the wrong files / your template is not ready yet. The only way to receive feedback is by contacting support. The exact instructions are presented in the bottom lines of your rejection e-mail.
Note: these are my personal opinions as an individual member and author of this community and not representative of Envato Staff or the Envato Item Reviewers. My personal opinion does not guarantee the approval of this file for sale on the Envato Marketplaces.
Thanks again for your time, Will look into the issues and work hard to perfect the theme. Also, I'll be sure to wrap the package before uploading; thank you for clarifying that!
PS: When I got my first rejection, I thought I was the only one, and got so bumped. I know it's a bit bad, but I'm glad I'm not the only one

The family of a man who died at home has refused to accept an apology from Yorkshire Ambulance Service, saying they blame a poor response to their 999 call for his death.
Perwez Iqbal, 59, collapsed at home in Fairbank Road, Girlington, Bradford, in the early hours of Tuesday, April 5.
His wife called for an emergency ambulance at 3.43am and it should have arrived within eight minutes. However, it failed to turn up until 3.56am – 13 minutes after her call.
Mr Iqbal died at home at 4.23am.
During the 999 call, Mr Iqbal's son Mussood Perwez can be heard desperately trying to resuscitate his father under the instruction of the ambulance call-taker.
Mussood Perwez said at the time the call hander was the most important person to them and raised concerns about the help that he had provided.
"He was under-trained and they have admitted that," he said.
Mr Iqbal's daughter Saimia Iqbal, of Gladstone Street, Bradford, said: "My dad did have a number of illnesses but he was a fighter. If the ambulance had arrived on time maybe dad would have got to the hospital and lived."
The family refuse to accept an explanation that the delay was unavoidable and have questioned how many other call handlers could be under-trained.
In a letter to the family, ambulance bosses admit the call handler did not handle the call in a "supportive way". It says he has been provided with additional training.
A spokesman for Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust said: "We would like to apologise to the family of Mr Iqbal for the distress caused and again pass on our sincere condolences for the recent loss of their father. We have met with the family to discuss the matter and actions have been taken to address the concerns they have raised."
The spokesman said that between January and the end of May 2011 it received 278,266 emergency calls, with five complaints about the attitude of call handlers, and added: "Staff working in our 999 communications centres carry out a vital role and help to save lives every day.
"They are trained to deliver advice and instructions so that immediate care can be provided to the patient until the ambulance crew arrives.
"More importantly, they provide vital reassurance to callers and patients in what can be extremely daunting and stressful situations.
"We would like to reassure members of the public that patient care is our utmost priority and we aim to provide a responsive, high-quality ambulance service."
The spokesman said YAS was currently exceeding the national target for responding to patients with potentially life-threatening illnesses and injuries within eight minutes.
In the Bradford, Calderdale and Kirklees area the service is currently reaching 77.11 per cent of patients with potentially life-threatening illnesses and injuries within eight minutes. The nationally-set target is to reach 75 per cent of Category A incidents within eight minutes.

You may not have to pre-process your log files depending on the features of
your log analysis program. I use WUSAGE (http://www.boutell.com/wusage/ )
to run my site's stats, and it allows me to specify individual sites to
exclude from the totals.
For example, my site wants to count outside visitors hitting our pages, not
employees using a browser on our LAN to look at the pages, so I've already
got WUSAGE set to ignore hits from my server, which is also the one running
the htdig indexing program, running my link checking program, and running
glimpse (another search tool I use on the site which indexes pages
So, depending on what other tools your using on your site, you may already
have a problem with inflated hit totals. Or, if your log analysis program
has its exclusions set, it may already be ignoring hits from people and
site magament tools on your server.
>I was hoping to not have to filter my log files... before other programs
>use them to make the stats...
>if I need to I can just grep -v out all the "htdig/3.0.8b1" entries
>from the log before I run it through other programs. I use an apache
>combined log format so I get the "browser type" on the same line as the
>requested file and byte count.
>Like I said, I would rather not need to pre-process my logs before making
>stats, but looks like I need to...
>Thanks for the input everyone.

It has long been believed that the analysis of charcoal from fires and pollen from cultivated plants was the most accurate way of tracking ancient human life and development. But scientists from the University of Massachusetts (USA) are using a much more unusual method, the analysis of ancient human faeces, more specifically, the levels of coprostanol found in the faeces. Coprostanol is formed when cholesterol is digested and can be found not only in 'solid' deposits but also washed through sediment.
Their area of research has centred around the Norwegian Lofoten Islands, where they have been the ebb and flow of human activity from over 7,300 years ago. A member of the research team, Robert D'Anjou, explained: "This area is at the northern limit of agricultural possibility and minor variations in the growing season temperature would greatly affect their ability to farm and populate that area. We compare it (the poo) to the tree ring temperature record from the area and it was shocking how well the coprostanol followed the temperature reconstruction".

Port-la-Joye-Fort Amherst by
The skies above Port-la-Joye-Fort Amherst National Historic Site are about to be filled with bright, colourful tails and foils as kite fliers of all ages come out to enjoy "Come Fly a Kite".
Hosted by Parks Canada's cooperating association, Parks & People Association, this event is held annually at the national historic site and draws everyone from the excited first-time flier to the highly experienced kite enthusiast.
The event takes place Sunday, June 29 from 2-4 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to join in the fun and families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and to make a day of their visit.
Located across the harbour from Charlottetown, Port-la-Joye-Fort Amherst is the site of the first permanent European settlement on Prince Edward Island.
"For over 30 years, the association has been hosting fun and engaging public events that promote the support, enjoyment and use of Parks Canada sites on Prince Edward Island. We are so pleased to be offering 'Come Fly a Kite' again this year," said Gerard Watts, chairman of Parks & People Association, P.E.I.
"We get kite fliers from all over the Island and even some from out-of-province. It's one of our most enjoyed events of the season."

The Turtlenecks You'll Want to Wear this Fall
They can be crafted from thick, heavy wool or fine-gauge cashmere; they can be worn by themselves or layered under a blazer or coat. For this reason, turtlenecks filled the fall runways, standing out as one of the most versatile knitwear offerings this season. We saw them at Paul Surridge's debut collection for Z Zegna (above right). And we've also been seeing them around many well-dressed, international cities, especially since Fashion Week(s) are upon us. So, go ahead. Give it a try. And if you've got your doubts, may we remind you of the turtleneck's badass appeal, as demonstrated by Steve McQueen in Bullitt? Just find your favorite below — where we've chosen ten standouts at every price...
