We remember when rebranding would get you hanged or shot. Or both," wrote Lew Cady, the just deceased (and very much missed) adman who did so much to help shape the image of this state.
How soon we forget.
Once again, Colorado has gone back to the drawing board to try to come up with a new symbol, a new slogan for "Colorful Colorado," a state that hasn't needed an official motto since the "Pikes Peak or Bust" days, when golden dreams were enough to draw thousands of visionaries to this uncharted territory. The current rebranding effort is being headed by Aaron Kennedy, the very smart man who's been leading the state's marketing efforts for a buck a year after making a mint on Noodles & Company. But has this latest campaign gone pasta point of no return?
See also: Ten Colorado counties would like to ditch the rest of the state
Let's hope not, because the insipid icons revealed last month as finalists to symbolize this state are enough to get you hanged. Or shot. Or both.
Here's the goal of makingcolorado.com, as announced by Kennedy & Company:
Making Colorado is the most inclusive, collaborative and ambitious branding effort ever undertaken by a state. Rather than hiring an individual branding agency to define Colorado, we're tapping into the energy and expertise of individuals across the state with an innovative discovery process, collaborative positioning phase and inclusive identity creation, to build a brand for Colorado, by Colorado. Making Colorado will capture the spirit and energy that exists in Colorado today to stimulate our economy, streamline statewide programs and showcase Colorado to the rest of the world.
Or throw Colorado into another state of confusion for generations to come, depending on what Governor John Hickenlooper announces at the end of this month. Because what truly makes Colorado great is the ability to recognize what works — and discard what doesn't.
Ironically, the Kennedy project comes after decades of embarrassing Colorado tourism campaigns — but at a time when, finally, the state had hired a local ad agency, Karsh & Hagan, to create the impressive "Come to Life" ad series, which pairs that tag line with stunning scenery and the iconic C from the Colorado flag. The images don't just tug at local heartstrings; they've pulled from out-of-state wallets, too, and the campaign has produced record tourism numbers.
So, of course, it's time to screw things up again.
The Tourism Collection at the Colorado State Archives is filled with artifacts, photographs and other items that document Colorado's tourism campaigns — some good, some gruesome — through the past 150 years. According to state archivist Erin McDanal, the official boosterism started when the territorial Board of Immigration was set up in 1872 — long before "immigration" was a dirty word, a time when Colorado actually wanted newcomers — and morphed into the Colorado State Board of Immigration in 1909. During the mid-'30s Dust Bowl, though, when no one was immigrating to Colorado, the board was replaced by the State Planning Commission, then the State Advertising and Publicity Committee in 1941, which in turn became the Colorado Tourism Board.
I was part of the flood of immigrants to Colorado in the late '70s, drawn by no more than the mountain views, the sunshine, and the promise of endless opportunities. If John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" was playing in the background, I'll never admit it — any more than the pioneers who came here a century before would confess to being inspired by the "purple mountain majesties" of Katharine Lee Bates. But although the state had a natural appeal, boosters kept trying to supplant that draw with campaigns as blatantly fake as the stage name of John Denver, born John Deutschendorf.
The most infamous, "Colorado Above All," with its echoes of the Nazis' "Uber Alles," provoked snickers across the country in the late '70s.
After that came the dull, generic "Colorado and No Place Else," which wouldn't have worked on a greeting card.

Which was followed by the wimpy "Guess I'd Rather Be in Colorado," which sounded fine on the radio when Judy Collins was singing it, but looked wishy-washy on a billboard.
The absolute low point, though, might well have been "Let's Talk Colorado," the Joan Rivers-sounding campaign that filled the state's tourism websites less than a decade ago. But then "Come to Life" brought Colorado tourism, and what today is the Colorado Tourism Office, back to life.
Now comes the rebranding effort to fix what's far from broken. Over the next three weeks, Colorado's creative crew will be tearing up the flag icon (which works well enough on the makingcolorado.com website) and deciding between three dull icons and two slogans — "Rise" and "Ever Upwards" — that would work better as Cialis ads than as advertisements for this state.
In the Old West, rebranding like this would get you shot. Or hanged. Or both. And you'd deserve it.

The First Friday Art Walk is this Friday in Zanesville, and the Artist Colony of Zanesville is featuring 22 artists.
Gallery G at the Masonic Temple on 4th Street is the Artist of the Month. Owner Bob Grayson said many of the artists are couples.
"When there's an artist who does artwork, his wife or girlfriend may say she supports him, but very few times do they say they want to do it too," said Grayson.
Bob "Yabo" Wilson and Tina Maxwell are one of the couples whose artwork is on display in Gallery G. Wilson is a recovered cancer patient, and he said painting with his girlfriend is therapeutic.
"During my fight with cancer, I just started drawing as I felt like it," said Wilson. "It's been really good, because with cancer, you never know when you're going to feel good. You have good days, bad days, parts of a day that are good. I could wake up at 2 AM, feel pretty good and start drawing or painting."
You can see the work of all 22 artists, including Wilson and Maxwell, during the First Friday Art Walk.

"The world is laughing at us, at our stupidity," Donald trump told the Washington Post, in an interview on Sunday. "It's got to stop. We've got to get smart fast — or else we won't have a country."
Those comments came as the GOP frontrunner gave the Post an exclusive look at his campaign's first television spot, which is set to debut on Monday.
Trump has thus far run what one might call an "unconventional" campaign. While rivals spent millions on television ads only to see their poll numbers drop, Trump relied on… well, on being Trump. The bombastic billionaire's fiery stump speech (which, while short on substance, lacks nothing when it comes to conviction) has resonated with large swaths of the American electorate that are fed up with business as usual inside the Beltway.
With his first ad, Trump is sticking with what's worked. That is, he's doubling down on the same controversial messages that have both surprised and captivated the political punditry who now exist in a perpetual state of shock thanks to the fact that Trump is rewriting the rules of what candidates can and should say on the campaign trail. Here's WaPo with a description of the new spot:
Donald Trump's ad begins with a shot of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then comes a U.S. battleship launching a cruise-missile strike. From there it moves swiftly through an explosive montage: The suspects in the recent California terrorist attack. Shadowy figures racing across the U.S.-Mexico border. Islamic State militants.
The narrator, a deep-voiced man, speaks ominously: "That's why he's calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until we can figure out what's going on. He'll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And he'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for."
The spot closes with the image of Trump thundering at one of his rallies, "We will make America great again!"
"Trump has vowed to spend at least $2 million a week on the ads — an amount that will be amplified by the countless times they are likely to be played on cable news and across social media," WaPo continues, adding that "Trump has six to eight ads in production [which] he hopes will impress upon undecided voters that the country has become 'a dumping ground.'"
Notably, Trump is doubling down on the Muslim ban message just days after that very same message turned up in an al-Shabaab propaganda video. Of course that shouldn't surprise anyone. Trump isn't one to backtrack and hey, "if it aint broke…"
And yet even as short a spot as that described above reveals what certainly appears to be a lack of understanding when it comes to policy specifics. For instance, one cannot "take" Islamic State's oil. It isn't theirs for Trump to take. That oil belongs to Syria and Iraq. Additionally, Trump seems certain that Mexico will be willing to fund the construction of a giant border fence. It's not at all clear why he believes that.
In any event, if Trump's television spots are anything like his campaign trail rallies, we're in for some epic trolling of America's entrenched political aristocracy and also of the liberal media. We'll close with WaPo's amusing account of the moment when the final cut of the first ad was played in the candidate's 26th-floor suite at Trump Tower:
One afternoon last week in the candidate's 26th-floor suite at Trump Tower here, the fiery depictions of global terrorism flickered on Trump's face as he stared down at campaign manager Corey Lewandowski's laptop computer to watch the final cut of the ad.
"Play it again," Trump told Lewandowski, nodding approvingly. "I love the feel of it."

OSRAM Opto rolls out three new LED products
Post a comment
Las Vegas, Nev. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has unveiled three new LED product lines at LDI 2004, The Entertainment Technology Show. These new products include the two-watt Golden DRAGON, the 6-lead MULTILED and the Advanced Power TOPLED. These products can be used in applications including illumination, display, automotive, communications, and signal lighting industries.
OSRAM touts its new Golden DRAGON LED is the first lead-free, surface-mount LED available in the industry. Utilizing both OSRAM's proprietary aluminum indium gallium phosphide (AlInGaP) and indium gallium nitrite (InGaN) chip technologies, the new two-watt Golden Dragon offers an extremely low thermal resistance package that provides a brighter light. The low-profile package provides easy assembly with standard pick-and-place equipment. These LEDs are available in white, blue, verde green, and true green.
Finding homes in automotive lighting applications such as signal lighting and center high-mount stop lamps, the new surface-mount Golden DRAGON LED can be used in a variety of applications such as architectural and theme lighting, electronics signage, channel letters and illumination applications.
OSRAM's 6-lead MULTILED features close chip density for excellent color mixing, said the company. Use of the company's patented surface-mount technology (SMT) package allows individual control of red, green and blue (RGB) chips. This allows users to now control the output of each of the three chips to better achieve a specific and more efficient lighting architecture. This new line is suitable for LED video and RGB backlighting for LCD, micro display and color imaging applications. It can also be used for emerging advertising market and flat screen video walls. The display industry uses the device's color-mixing properties for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Featuring extremely high optical output and low thermal resistance, the Advanced Power TOPLED product line is the first high-performance, environmentally friendly (lead-free), SMT LED that can operate with a basic circuit, said the company. The LED offers a new "high brightness" and is capable of dissipating up to 500 mW of power. Available in yellow and red colors, the red Advanced Power TOPLED can deliver a typical light output of 14 lumens at 200 mA. Currently used in automotive signal lighting, the Advanced Power TOPLED is suitable for signal lighting, display lighting, task lighting and signage applications. The company says the cost-per-lumen advantage of these chips makes them an excellent choice for LED applications that require illumination uniformity.
The Golden DRAGON LEDs are priced at $3.50 in quantities of 10,000 and the 6-lead MULTILED packages are priced at $1.00 in quantities of 10,000. Now available in yellow, the Advanced Power TOPLEDs are priced at $0.45 in quantities of 10,000.

Seattle dominated the Super Bowl, beating Denver 43-8.
Key play: On the first offensive play of the game, Broncos center Manny Ramirez snapped the ball over quarterback Peyton Manning's head. The Broncos recovered in the end zone to give Seattle a 2-0 lead on a safety. That play was an indication of what was to come, as Seattle dominated the opening period with 148 total yards to Denver's 11.
Key stat: Seattle won the time of possession war by a staggering 11:41 to 3:19. It ran 22 plays in the quarter compared to just 7 for Denver. Still, perhaps the biggest stat was Seattle's red zone touchdown ratio, which was 0 for 2. Even thought Seattle dominated the quarter, Denver was within easy striking distance.
Not in the boxscore: Both coaches had unsuccessful challenges in the first quarter, leaving them just one challenge apiece for the rest of the game.

- Acee: Manning no match for swarming Seahawks

Super Bowl XLVIII
Seattle Seahawks 43 - Denver Broncos 8
- Seahawks trample Broncos in Super Bowl
- Acee: Manning no match for swarming Seahawks
- Super defense makes Seahawks champions
- Super Bowl quarter-by quarter
- Bruno, Peppers' so-so Super Bowl showing
Seahawks 22, Broncos 0
Key play: After starting at their own 16, the Broncos offense was finally moving the ball and had driven down to the Seattle 35. But on 3rd and 13, Malcolm Smith intercepted a Manning pass and returned it 69 yards for a touchdown.
Key stat: Manning completed 17 of 23 passes during the first two quarters. Still, they only went for an average of 4.5 yards per pass because the swarming Seattle defense allowed very few yards after the catches. And of the six incompletions, two were interceptions and one came on fourth down.
Not in the boxscore: Late in the quarter Denver had a chance to finally put some points on the scoreboard. But after driving to the Seattle 19, the Seahawks held, forcing 4th and 2. Denver went for it and a Manning pass went incomplete, keeping the Broncos scoreless heading to halftime.
Seahawks 36, Broncos 8
Key play: The Broncos popped up the second half kickoff, and it landed in front of Seahawks return man Percy Harvin inside the 15-yard line. The ball bounced straight up, where Harvin caught it and streaked up the middle of the field for an 87-yard touchdown return.
Key stat: By the end of the quarter, Denver actually had more total yards than Seattle. But the Broncos' third turnover, this one a fumble by WR Demaryius Thomas after a nice catch, kept the Broncos from getting close to the end zone until the final play of the quarter. That's when Manning hit Thomas on a 14-yard touchdown pass to ensure that the Broncos wouldn't be the first team to be shut out in a Super Bowl.
Not in the boxscore: The Seahawks became the only team in Super Bowl history to score on a safety, an interception return and a kickoff return in the same game.
Seahawks 43, Broncos 8
Key play: Seattle got the only score of the quarter, a 10-yard pass from Russell Wilson to Doug Baldwin. The 35 point margin of victory was the Super Bowl's third largest, tying Dallas' 52-17 Super Bowl XXVII win over Buffalo. The largest was San Francisco 55, Denver 10 in SB XXIV, while Chicago 46, New England 10 in SB XX was second.
Key stat: Just looking at the boxscore, it would be nearly impossible to predict a Seattle blowout, except for one key stat. While the Seahawks didn't turn the ball over all night, they recovered a Manning fumble in the fourth quarter for their fourth takeaway.
Not in the boxscore: Down big early and forced to throw the ball often actually helped the Broncos set a couple of offensive records. Manning broke the record for most pass completions in a Super Bowl with 34, while Thomas broke the record for most receptions in the big game with 13.

USSA Seeking Replacement Olympic Qualifiers
2014-01-12 18:10
USSA is looking to schedule replacement Olympic qualifiers during this week's Sprint U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain's Unbound Terrain Park. (U.S. Snowboarding - Sarah Brunson)
PARK CITY, UT (Jan. 12) – Following Saturday's cancelation of the third of five Olympic qualifying events in snowboarding halfpipe and slopestyle, the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association announced it has plans to replace the competitions with a U.S. only qualifier at Mammoth Mountain. Heavy snow and low visibility forced the International Ski Federation jury to cancel the two competitions at Breckenridge. The USSA is prepared to conduct a replacement qualifier pending outcome of any appeals from athletes against the Saturday jury decision. The plan has approval from the U.S. Olympic Committee.
The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association has announced it has a plan to run a U.S. only Olympic qualifier to replace the snowboarding halfpipe and slopestyle competitions canceled due to snow and low visibility at Breckenridge Saturday.
The canceled competitions were the third of five Olympic qualifiers.
Qualification rounds were completed in both halfpipe and slopestyle. The FIS jury canceled the finals and the competition was not scored. Athletes do have an avenue of appeal to that decision with FIS. As a TTR World Snowboard Tour 5-Star competition, TTR officials were integrated into decision-making during the event.
The USSA's plan is pending clearance from FIS on any appeals relative to the decision of its competition jury at the Breckenridge qualifier.
The revised plan would be to run a U.S. only replacement for the third qualifier at Mammoth Mountain this week, prior to the already scheduled fourth and fifth qualifiers.
The new third qualifiers would be open to any U.S. athletes who were eligible to compete at Breckenridge. The field for the fourth and fifth qualifiers would remain as planned from the top athletes in the rankings after three events.
The replacement qualifier would be sanctioned only as a USSA competition, not FIS or TTR, and would not be open to foreign athletes or scored as a FIS or TTR competition.
The USSA plans to announce its replacement plan as soon as it has clearance on appeals from FIS and will issue an update Monday.
Jeremy Forster, USSA Director of Freeskiing and Snowboarding
We have historic success running a series of five Olympic qualifying events. Since Saturday's cancelation, we have worked with USOC to find a solution that will allow us to provide our U.S. athletes with a replacement for the third qualifier. We now only need to wait for clearance from FIS that there will be no appeals actions that would revert any decisions from the canceled events.
Calum Clark, USSA Vice President, Events
Our focus is on providing athletes with the fairest platform for Olympic qualifying. It's fortunate for our athletes to have partners like Breckenridge and Mammoth Mountain that are willing to step up and provide world-class competition venues and high quality organizing committees. Mammoth Mountain has been willing to undertake the added burden and we hope that this will be a solution to provide our athletes with a fair pathway to Sochi.

Im waiting slider…
Good, you get it very soon, we have it designed already
Hi, as we promised, the slider is now ready, take a look at the demo page. And it is optional, you still use the front page without slider.
This is a theme that's 100% perfect for ANY auto shop/mechanic. All it requires is a change of logo and color scheme… I'm happy with all the current functions but a slider will definitely make it better!
I am happy we created a great product
The slider is coming monday/tuesday, no worries. And will be super super easy to setup, just upload a bunch of pictures and you are ready to go. Sounds good?
As I mentioned to other your comment, the slider is now ready.
And additionally I will appreciate if you can leave 5 stars for the item in the Downloads section of the TF: https://www.diigo.com/item/image/3rli1/3pjk?size=o
Thank you, that means us a lot!
I'm buying now and trusting that the slider will be coming soon;)
I'd bet on it. Coding already
As promised, the slider is now ready, take a look at the demo page. And it is optional, you still use the front page without slider.
when will this download be ready?
Still pending the TF review, usually it takes just a couple of minutes, but now it is 2h already in queue. It should be soon, in matter of hours.
is demo online ? I dont see any slider in demo ..
Sure it is: http://carpress.demo.proteusthemes.com/
The images in the background can be easily changed.
ahaa.. maybe its good idea to add few images to slider on demo so I can see it in action. ARe there some transitions between images or it just change picture to differernt one ? Also is there some sliderf control like arrows , dots or something so user can change sliders quickly ?
The slider for now does not have any customization options, but we will be adding them shortly.
Can you change the content from slide to slide also or just the background images?
It looks like the slider has one set of content, but you can only change images. I've never seen a slider like that. Can you update the slider so we can change the content? Otherwise, what is the point?
Yup, the update where you will be able to change the content for each individual slider is coming by Friday.
I updated and now am having many issues. Google maps are no longer appearing and testimonials are appearing all at once? Also, can't get gallery images to appear in the gallery widget, can't get a pin placed on the google map when it did work and can't figure out how to get the slider working. I have loaded images in for the slider, and the speed is set, but I don't see any other controls available?
Also, where did you make the changes in contact form 7 to layout horizontally? mine is stacking vertically.
also, what widget did you use to have the logos running acrodd the bottom of the home page on the demo?
Something is not right with the gallery? Can't get images to display in the widget area and do not see any gallery layout options as you show on the demo. Also, I see mention of "meet the team" page in the layout area of the theme options, but don't see anything or any way to create this portion? Also, when you are logged in, the site behaves wonky when looking at home page.
I did get the home page slider working, I think an update was still coming through earlier. still can't get a pin placed on the google map?
if you open a ticket over http://support.proteusthemes.com and provide us with a link to your page I can help you better.
A pin to gmaps can be added to add a location in theme options > contact page > google maps locations.
I did add the location, but a pin will not appear??
Can you please send a ticket and give me the url where I can take a look?
Ah sorry, I am looking at your page already. Sorry, no need to.
Hi, I see you didn't add the location, I created one for you now.
How do i make the "Make an Appointment" tab in main menu blue like the demo?
Just by selecting the featured page in the theme options > general.
how do you get the menu to appear on the services landing page like on your demo. does not appear when you select the services layout?
also, I'm getting a huge white space below the second widget area on the site that I don't where it came from?? any ideas how I can get rid of that or why it appeared?
this theme seems to be full of strange bugs. are you working on this?
Did you test this on Safari? fancybox gallery does not seem to load in Safari?
i just submitted a ticket to you through support with my login details. please look into all the above issue and see if its me or your theme causing all the issues.
Hi, we are experimenting lots of troubles with our support system (we have just switched to the new one http://support.proteusthemes.com ).
I will try to answer as soon as I can reach our old support system.
I answered on our old support platform. Only 1 bug, I explained the other problems and how to achieve them there.
Thank you for all your help. I thought I'd post your answers here for others to see as well in-case they have the same questions. Also I do have a few remaining questions here.
I'll start with the answers I still have question for:
"services page template does not have the services menu to the left as your demo does?"
You should create a custom menu for the services page and put it to the sidebar of the services. That's how it is added.
—Not sure how this is possible, a service page does not exist in the widget area for me to add the custom sidebar to? Please advise further.
"do not see anywhere to upload a team member info?"
I don't understand the question, there is no team members (yet) in the Carpress.
—you have a portion in the theme options > Layout > "Meet the team background" If you could add a team portion to this site I think it would be nice, looks like some of the work is done, this must have been left over from the hairpress theme.
"also, why are the images so fuzzy at this size on the gallery page? they look great once blown up?"
You should put larger size for thumbnails in settings > media and regenerate the thumbnails with this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails...
—Tried this, did not help. How large should I make the thumbnail size?
—- —- —- —-And these you answered just fine- —- —- ——-
"Gallery images and testimonials stack vertically when logged in, when logged out a huge white space remains above footer."
The white space below the galleries will be fixed soon, the carousel JS plugin is causing that.
—Great, looking forward to the update
"fancybox images do not load in Safari?"
I checked the fancybox gallery in Safari – works as it should. Which OS you use and which version of Safari?
—It's working now….not sure what changed?
"gallery widget on home page does not have arrows to scroll to next?"
Gallery widget does not have arrows as you created just single gallery.
—Stupid question, I was hoping that I could scroll through all 33 images in one gallery from the home page 9 at a time. I'll have to create another gallery. so the gallery works by showing one gallery at a time.
"cannot find the widget to import logos across the bottom of the home page as you have done on the demo and I want this feature."
That's just the Custom width text for home page widget with couple of images in it.
—Makes perfect sense, Thanks!
"How can I make the contact form layout the way you have? do not like it stacked the way it is."
In the documentation there is the code for that and instructions how to create it.
I looked through all the documentation and could not find the Contact form 7 code you said would be there. Can you just post the code here? Also, I noticed a screen shot of the widget page, and in your screen shot a services template is in the top right, this does not exist in my sites admin area. it is a template I can select when choosing a page template, but it is not in the widget area?
Also, will you be building-in a font selector? Not finding a place to change fonts easily without going into the code?
just figured out the services issue. You have to go to theme options > Layout and manually select services sidebar before it goes into the widget area. so that issue is solved;)
HI, I am answering all the issues left tomorrow.
Yes, I noticed we forgot to add to the docs the code for the slider revolution. I will send it to you.
Meet the team section is coming the next week.
Just a couple items I'd love to see added to the theme when you're deciding next updates;)
First off, GREAT THEME! You guys did excellent work! many of the issues I had were my fault while trying to figure out your back-end system. now that I've figured it out I love it and it is very intuitive. I will be giving this 5 stars one the one bug we found is fixed.
1. Exert length for the services home page widget, it would be great if I could easily select the character count per exert.
2. Font selector: an easy way to change fonts from the theme options area.
3. team member section
4. Gallery: I would like to be able to scroll through all the images in a gallery from the home page, not just show the number of images I select in the widget. not sure if this is an easy change or not, but its on my wish list;)
5. More mobile options. Specifically, I'd like to be able to have the google map on the home page on all devices except phones. the map gets in the way of scrolling on the phone. Also, some widgets would be nice to be able to leave off the mobile as well. maybe you could add a selector on each widget asking if you want it displayed on mobile? just a thought.
Thank you very much!
1. for the services you can write your own excerpt, if you don't see the excerpt field you should toggle the view in the Screen Options (at the top) and check the excerpt.
2. will be added, probably the next week already
3. coming next week as well
4. that would firstly be difficult to achieve to keep the existing (more default) behaviour and secondly would lead to more confused settings, so we will leave it as it is
5. good option, I will see how we can implement that in some clever way
Looks great!
About the little calender that we see in the Make an Appointment page, is there a way to customise it?
Disable few days and hours, so the customer can select some specific available moment?
You stay cool! Best regards
Not yet for now, but I will add this to TODO.
I'm interested in buying your theme, but I see in comments that there are still too meny bugs. I think I'll wait a month when it will be fixed. Have you solved all the problems that adholics writes?
Great that you are interested in!
We will definitely fix any bugs this week already. I can let you know when the update is up. OK?
We have solved everything already. There is only one small bug which will be fixed in the 2-3 days with the new update.
We keep getting 'failed to import' messages when trying to import dummy content, how can we fix this?
Hi, please open a ticket on http://support.proteusthemes.com and give us a screenshot or login data and we will be able to help you.
Hi again,
Some of the content has installed but not the home page content, also where is the page builder?
There is no page builder, but the front page can be made using the widgets. You can import the widgets too, with the widget import&export plugin and demo-widgets file in extras folder.
having an issue with resizing the contact form on the front page
Hi, submit the ticket on support.proteusthemes.com and we will help you!
You guys nailed on this one, nice job. If you can make versions of this for other trades, like construction or other types of small business, you be filling a need for many companies. There are few really good small business themes, tis is the first one, but too niche specific. Once again, great job on this one.
Thank you for suggestion. Maybe we presented it very niche specific, but if you change the color scheme, images and text it can be used really for many different businesses.
I bought the theme yesterday and I am loving it so far. I am very excited to there there will be a "Meet the Team" section.
I am having some trouble getting the markers to show up on the map. I am going to open a ticket so you can tell me what I did wrong. I am new to Wordpress.
Great, I love it that you love it
I guess the ticket should be answered by now already.
Just updated. I personally preferred the previous slider. Any way to go back to that slider and keep the footer patch you just released? or at least bring back the option for the button on the sliders?
Also, arrows have now appeared above my home page gallery but they do not do anything? I only have one gallery of images.
will let you know if I see anything else.
The slider is basically the same. If you want the same text on all slides, than you can have the same content.
You simply insert the button with the [button] shortcode, the same will be [button type="warning" href="#"]Read more[/button]. More is in the docs.
For the arrows – will be fixed in the next version.
I have some issues creating the "services page".
Do I have to create a Page called Services? I've installed the demo content but can't seem to find the "services" page.
I want to duplicate this: http://carpress.demo.proteusthemes.com/services/
I forgot to mention, I would like to change the "blue" on the "Make an appointment" near the menu on the top right, as well as the color of the widgets with icons. How would I go about doing that
I've managed to obtain the "services" page already. But my menu for services on the left isn't showing up. (http://discoveria.com.my/about/). I have already indicated in the theme options to have a left sidebar in the services. But it isn't showing up
You just create a new Menu and then add the menu widget to the services sidebar. In this way you are not limited to link to just services.
Thanks for that. Managed to fix it.
Is there a way to change the blue color in the main nav menu? The "Make an Appintment" color. As well as the blue color of the wdigets with icons under the slider?
Yup, everything you mentioned can be changed in the customizer.
I've bought finally your theme, and I'm very happy with it. It's just what I need for my client. One question, if possible: ¿how can I make a mark in google map? I can't find the option. Great job, seriously.
In the Theme Options > Contact page you can select the center of the map and add the locations (and in the latest update the default location is created at the same point as the maps center if there is no locations).
Hi, does the theme come with a child theme, sample data and images? Thanks
Child theme – I'll create it soon, ~2-3 days, yes for sample data, no for the images. In fact the ones from for the services and slider are purchased only, the others are free.
This theme's files does not contain .psd files. My designer cannot easily customize without these files. Is this situation normal for some themes?
No, it does not come with PSD files as most of the theme was designed in the browser. But I answered you already on our ticket support.
Hello again,
- Menu text hover colour is blue, none of our colour options are set to blue, is there any way of changing this?
- Can services be linked to pages instead of service posts?
- 'Read more' on services image hover is off centre, how do we fix this?
- Can we turn off the persistent menu?
Hi, please open a ticket on http://support.proteusthemes.com and give us the link to your website, so we can solve this quickly.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Katherine Z.
Review for South Suburban Pads, Chicago Hts, IL, USA
I volunteer monthly (4th Thursday) at my mom's church with a group of phenomenal women to feed and set-up overnight shelter for the homeless. We work together to let them know they are not alone and to encourage them in a time of transition back to permanent housing. It feels so good to bring the food for dinner, cook and serve these people of need in our community. I have been doing this for over two years and plan to continue the great efforts of this PADS program.
More Feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
I feel like our efforts through PADS is life-changing for all involved.

There is a great deal of fear and uncertainty involving economic and political variables at play in America today, and scam promoters are having a field day with it.
Capitalizing on fears about currency stability, litigation, bank solvency, inflation, and a variety of other concerns of subjective value, scam promoters continue to operate with wide impunity. In the best cases they sell services or products of no value, in the worst they are costing people their life savings and making them party to criminal acts including systematic tax fraud.
Fraud schemes disguised as real, legit investment opportunities may be especially attractive to conservative busienss owners and doctors who are always sensitive to issues of asset protection and taxes. These are two things these scams specifically and repeatedly fail at protecting you from.
Among the many egregious examples I have personally witnessed lately are Ponzi schemes involving "insider" real-estate deals and non-existent deeds of trust, the Iraqi Dinar investment fiasco, and the use of trust structures based on manufactured versions of trust law complete with fraudulent historical context and, in the most sophisticated cases, even fake legal opinion letters and IRS private letter rulings.
I provide some specific due diligence issues to consider below along with the most blunt, strong warning possible: If you consider a financial/legal strategy that involves the use of a trust containing terms such as "pure trust," "constitutional trust," or "admiralty or common law trusts," be exceptionally careful and seek counsel from an independent qualified tax attorney or CPA immediately. You may already need a lawyer.
The entirety of the large number of these fraud schemes that my associates and I have seen lack any factual basis or support in U.S. law and involve you making invalid sales and transfers to trusts controlled by unlicensed con artists.
In most cases these promoters of these abusive trust schemes are not licensed professionals like attorneys or CPAs although their websites and even the names of their companies (i.e. Smith, Jones, and Associates) are structured to make you think they are. They use terms like "trust preparer," "trust master," and even the innocuous "document preparer."
Their arguments to win your business are typically centered on the same silly arguments specifically rejected by the IRS and the courts and go something along the lines of some or all of the following:
• There is no authority vested in the U.S. government to tax you; • You can opt out of the system by transferring your assets to our magic tax free trust; • You transfer title and control to me and I watch it for you; • You pay me to do this every year, so you know you can trust me;
• The business you transferred is now owned by the trust and will no longer have to pay taxes;
• You work for the trust and also no longer have to pay taxes;
• Sometimes I'll have you sell me the property for a very small amount of money; If you want I can even pay you in gold or silver so the money is untraceable;
• The Kennedys, Rothschilds, and similar families all have this kind of trust and this is what the "rich" do, it's a secret we are not supposed to know or share;
• Your lawyer and CPA are party of the "system" that's out to get you and they will deny all our "facts" and the "common law" and say we are wrong.
The end result? You sign your possessions and wealth over to "some guy" who in many case has unlimited discretion over its use and distribution and in the worst cases full legal title and the ability to sell it or steal it from you.
These kinds of con operators have no oversight, no attorney client privilege, no malpractice coverage, training or even a basic background check. More importantly, they have very little liability at all for giving bad legal advice that fails in a lawsuit, or bad tax advice that gets you in trouble with the IRS.
Here are some specific tips:
1. Deal only with licensed professionals like attorneys, CPAs, and investment advisors;
2. Ask for professional references;
3. Do your own web search on them;
4. When transferring investment funds make sure they are held by a "third party custodian" at a "securities broker dealer;"
5. Do not give or sell your property to any trust controlled by an individual stranger or promoter that does this for many people. There are great corporate and professional trustees out there who specialize in this.
And finally, don't EVER enter a "trust" deal requiring a confidentiality agreement: They don't want you telling guys like me the way the scam works.

The NFL and its teams have spread the word this summer about rules banning most bags and purses on game days.
But they've gotten help — not always with a favorable tone — from national TV broadcasts, fans on social media and YouTube, and even through a viral mock public service announcement. The Dallas Cowboys will learn Saturday whether the informative messages, occasional outrage, humor and the team's exhaustive planning have gotten through to fans arriving for the preseason home opener.
"We're catching a little bit of a break because we've got a later preseason game," said Paul Turner, director of event operations and security at AT&T Stadium.
Most teams have had at least one home game. Reaction has been a mixture of annoyance from some fans — often women — to acceptance of the new security reality.
Newspapers and TV stations have shown photos and videos of fans waiting in lines with wallets, phones, keys and other essentials stuffed in Ziploc-type bags.
There are also isolated stories about women dumping their purses in the trash when faced with that option or skipping the game.
A pair of New Orleans comics, Lauren LaBorde and Colleen Allerton, tweaked the outrage with their "My Purse My Choice" faux PSA, which has had more than 370,000 views. The clip also was shown on the Today show.
The video, partially a reflection of their annoyance at paring down their belongings at a New Orleans Saints game, lists "essential items" carried in their purses. The recitation of items ranged from a Pinkberry rewards card to a turkey wrap — delivered in the gravest tone possible.
But it could end up turning into a real PSA.
"If it does save one woman from having to do that [throw away her purse], great," Allerton said.
Small and clear
The rule changes, however, come from a deadly serious event. Acting partly in response to the Boston Marathon bombing, the NFL will permit only small clutch purses and clear PVC or vinyl bags.
Fans coming to Arlington on Saturday to see the game against the Cincinnati Bengals will not be allowed to bring in regular purses, fanny packs, diaper bags, seat cushions and more.
The Cowboys will hand out free 1-gallon storage bags to fans who were unaware of the rules or forgot. The league and teams also are selling clear regulation bags with logos for about $10 to $20.
But those are mostly on back order and might not be available until next month. At the AT&T Stadium gift shops, the bags are sold out. Cowboys season-ticket holders were given the chance to receive free bags before the start of preseason.
The league hopes these measures will prevent someone from bringing a weapon to the stadiums' gates or to some other crowded area outside the traditional security perimeter.
A benefit is expected to be faster-moving security lines.
"Fans are able to get in faster than ever," said Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman. "Some teams did have two home games and did see the process working even better in week two than week one."
Getting out the word
Since the bag announcement in June, Turner said, the Cowboys have been working on different ways to notify fans.
Season-ticket holders and others buying tickets from the team received notices of the security changes. Turner and Cowboys cheerleaders have appeared on local TV morning shows.
The team also has contacted ticket resellers, cab companies, limousine and shuttle services and hotels to enlist their help in informing fans.
The Cowboys also requested a list of entrepreneurial parking lot operators from the city and are providing those businesses with signs informing ticket holders about the security measures.
'Ditching their bags'
Cowboys staff is also on weekly conference calls with other teams to discuss best practices for the new league-wide policy.
One of the lessons is the need for more trash containers or the need to empty them more often.
"People are ditching their bags," Turner said.
He said there also will be more K-9 police units outside the stadium. At earlier games, officials noticed that some fans hid their belongings in bushes or other secluded places with plans retrieve them after the game. Those have to be treated as suspicious packages and checked out by law enforcement.
For fans who forgot about the new rules, there will still be a chance to stash their bags in their cars.
The team plans to have an extra 35 to 40 people working outside the stadium, in part to keep fans from getting in line with outlawed bags.
Everyone entering a Cowboys or Texas Rangers parking lot this weekend will also get a flier explaining the policy. Cowboys staff will be in parking lots, at nearby street crossings and near the gates to intercept fans who might have to return their bags. On some of the approaches, staff will have 15-foot blue flags with messages about the security rules.
"We're hoping that by the time they get into line and we're using the metal detector to screen you, we've had a number of opportunities to inform people and make them aware," Turner said.
What's in, what's out
Permitted bags at NFL stadiums (one per person, including children):
Clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches
1-gallon clear plastic storage or freezer bags
A small clutch bag, about the size of a hand, can be taken into the stadium with one of the clear plastic bags.
Any medically necessary bag
Examples of bags and other items banned:
Standard-size purses
Computer bags
Camera and binocular bags
Diaper bags
Cinch bags
Fanny packs
Seat cushion

Grocery Snob?
I do about 90% of our family's grocery shopping. Every week my wife Misty and I put together a list of what we need and off I go to the land of toilet paper, ground beef, and peanut butter. I will admit that I am a pretty critical shopper when it comes to money. If I can get the same item for 5 cents cheaper – I am going to do it regardless of the brand. Unless…it's on my "grocery snob" list.
Yes, I can be a grocery shopping snob. There are some items that I HAVE to have name brand – I simply CANNOT do generic or store brand. Some of those items include mayo, ketchup, soft drinks, hot dogs, frozen pizza. Other items it makes absolutely no difference.
I can't logically explain why I have to do this – I just do. Do you???

SALT LAKE CITY — Junior Kyndal Robarts kind of upstaged her senior teammates with a career-high 39.60 all-around on Senior Night at the Huntsman Center, but everyone on the University of Utah team had a hand in building the season's best score on Friday night.
And they all could bask in the red glow of a monumental gymnastics attendance record as they gave the crowd a show, a 196.95-195.825 win over BYU. Both scores were season highs.
On a night when there was a laser show and many thousands of red-flashing sunglasses were handed out to help honor Utah's four seniors in their final regular-season home meet in a lights-out, pre-meet ceremony, Utah drew a crowd of 15,030 to help the Utes set an NCAA women's gymnastics single-season attendance record and up Utah's 2010 season average to 14,213.
That made Utah the 2010 NCAA attendance champion for all women's sports. Alabama women's gymnastics drew an average of 13,786, and Tennessee women's basketball drew 12,393 per game this year.
Utah's 2010 attendance average, however, is not close to the NCAA women's attendance records set by Tennessee, which averaged 16,565 in 1998-99 and has averaged more than 15,000 four other times.
"It was thrilling for me," said Greg Marsden, who has coached the Utes since their very beginning and who has toiled and innovated for these 35 years to put all those fans in the Huntsman Center seats.
"We are the envy of every gymnastics program," said Marsden, adding Alabama and Georgia probably would disagree with him, but the numbers do tell the story. "Our fans are such a part of this tradition."
"I think it's incredible just to be a part of it and be able to experience it," said senior Annie DiLuzio, who closed out her last regular-season meet by tying her career high on floor with 9.975 as the final performer of the night. She also had a 9.925 vault. "Nobody can say that they've experienced what we've experienced here," she added about the crowd record.
"It was exciting," added Robarts. "It was really energetic and upbeat. I could definitely feel it. Me and Daria (senior Bijak) before floor, we were like, 'Whoa,' because the upper bowl was full, too."
Robarts said she wouldn't call her career-high 39.60 an "upstaging" of the seniors, though she edged Bijak (39.525). Senior Jamie Deetscreek scored a 39.025, despite a fall on beam.
"I just felt like I was on a roll tonight. I don't know what it was specifically," said Robarts. "Just everything felt on."
Bijak appeared headed for a big night with a 9.825 vault and a 9.925 on bars, but she had difficulties on beam, wobbling after leaps and then somehow catching herself with one foot after nearly missing the landing on her punch-front. She came up smiling about the incident as the crowd gasped.
"I could not believe I did that. It was fun," she said.
She finished with a 9.925 on floor.
Bijak's mother, Christel Bijak, who speaks no English, was here to watch Daria's last regular-season meet. It was the first time she had seen her compete in college in person.
The Utes were thin on beam with Stephanie McAllister out (mild shoulder separation, expected to return soon), and a great night began getting iffy when Cortni Beers fell on beam. She'd fallen on bars, too, and Marsden said she was devastated, though he gives her a pass because she has been sick for two weeks. He did say the Utes need her back strong in those two events, though, because she is their best option for those spots on both.
Bijak's near-fall (she scored a 9.80 anyway) was followed by Deetscreek's fall, but Robarts saved the event from getting worse. It was the third-lowest beam score of the season for Utah, 48.625.
That was after Utah had started with season highs of 49.35 on vault and 49.425, tying the highest score of the season in any event, on bars.
They then beat that with a 49.55 on floor as senior Beth Rizzo popped a 9.80 after being out for several weeks with a toe injury, Deetscreek received a 10.0 from one judge and a 9.95 career-high total, and Bijak, Robarts and DiLuzio were all 9.90 or better.16 comments on this story
"I was really pleased with three events. I promise we train so much better (on beam) than what we're showing," said Marsden, noting Utah would have been in the 197.50 range without the beam falls, which he thinks are coming because performers are trying too hard to be perfect — which has to change if the Utes are to get anywhere in the postseason.
They host the 2010 NCAA North Central Regional on April 10.
"I still believe we're a very good team. I still believe we can compete at the highest level," he said, adding the Utes have yet to get everyone on the same page in the same meet. "Compositionally, we can compete with anybody."

I've both practiced and used that particular skill on our farm, firing from the bed of a moving pickup. When a group of rabid pit bulls is roaming around looking for something to bite it's a nice skill to have IMO. There was a stretch where it seemed like every couple of months we'd encounter a rabid dog (many times pit bulls) wandering around on the farm.....no clue where they came from. Only one time did they make it up towards the house and attack any of our animals. We lost 6 chickens that afternoon, along with 3 12 gauge 00buckshot shells and 10 rounds of hollow-point .22 lr. Not sure but they definitely looked like fighting dogs IMO.
On a more tactical perspective, I could realistically see shooting back at armed opponents who are firing from cover (buildings, vehicles, barricades) in an urban riot setting. Then again, I'd just assume not to be in the urban setting to begin with, riot or not

4 inches of snow has fallen in the Seattle area
By mid-morning, up to 4 inches of snow had fallen around the Seattle area, with several more inches expected before the snowfall begins to taper Wednesday afternoon, according to the Weather Service.
Some areas are reporting lower amounts, but the snow continues to fall.
Meteorologist Brad Colman said the heaviest amount of snow reported was in the Napavine area of Lewis County, where readings of 16 to 19 inches were reported by 8:30 a.m., and snow was continuing to fall.
Olympia had about 10 inches and Tacoma had 8 inches by that time. Farther north, the snowfall was lighter, with 2 to 4 inches in the San Juan Islands.
"We have widespread snow over pretty much all of Western Washington," Colman said, The only exceptions was state's southwest corner, in Pacific County, where the snow had switched to rain.
Temperatures in the Central Puget Sound area may stay just below freezing during the day Wednesday, dipping into the 20s Wednesday night.
Thursday is expected to bring a mix of rain and snow as the region gradually warms, and by Friday, rain is expected throughout the area as temperatures climb into the 40s.

Killeen police arrested a 22-year-old woman who they said fled from police in a car and on foot because of an active warrant.
Princess Denise Jackson was charged with evading arrest in a motor vehicle. Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke arraigned Jackson on Friday, setting her bail at $20,000.
Her arrest stems from an attempted traffic stop near the area of Trimmier Road and Duval Drive.
According to an arrest affidavit, a police officer attempted to stop Jackson's vehicle, but she did not stop. The officer lost sight of her car, but soon spotted a car of the same make, model and color parked on the side of the road.
The car had backed into another car behind it and was still running in reverse.
A woman nearby then notified police she had just seen a female run through her backyard and jump her fence, the affidavit stated. Inside the car, an officer located a purse containing Jackson's driver's license. Another officer in the area located a woman matching the driver's description. The woman, later identified as Jackson, was out of breath and had scratches to her legs.
Also arraigned Friday in an unrelated incident was Daniel Jordan Larue-Bates, 25, on a charge of possession of cocaine, less than 1 gram. Cooke set Larue-Bates bond at $20,000.

Today, many healthcare providers are seeing the benefits of a more holistic approach to caring for patients. And they are also becoming aware of the growing body of research that demonstrates a profound connection between the arts and the healing process. Throughout history, pictures, stories, dances, music and drama have been central to healing rituals. Many hospitals across the nation — including Crouse — are using various art forms to create an environment that promotes the healing process for patients, welcomes visitors and enhances the workplace for staff.
At Crouse, providing the best in patient care means outstanding medical treatment and compassionate concern for the whole person. Our Healing Environment Committee — comprised of clinical and non-clinical staff and community volunteers — has established a number of initiatives to transform Crouse into a warmer, more inviting hospital.
A hospital can seem busy, noisy and very clinical. Yet studies show that reduced noise levels help patients heal and recover more quickly. A calm, quiet environment allows patients to relax and get the rest they need, while also helping visitors and staff to experience less stress. Crouse Hospital has taken steps to create a quieter environment to benefit patients, visitors and staff.
Anyone can help maintain a quiet environment at Crouse:
(By the way, 'Shhh' stands for Silent Hospitals Help Healing.)
Hospitals have a reputation for being white, cold and sterile. Yet arts in healthcare research shows that color can have a profound effect on mood and emotions, as can soothing visual images. Our Healing Environment Committee has made great strides in bringing appropriate visual art into many of Crouse Hospital's public and patient care areas using the talents of professional artists, Junior Volunteers and college students. As part of our partnership with the Syracuse City School District, student artwork is displayed in various parts of the hospital all year long.
Music has the power to heal. And nowhere is that more evident than watching the reactions of patients who are listening to live music from their hospital bed. Crouse Serenades is a program that brings local musicians into the hospital to perform for or sing to patients. A simple melody can soothe the soul and lift the spirit as they deal with a surgery or illness. In this photo, students from the the Cicero-North-Syracuse Jazz Elites perform for one of our patients.
If you're interested in volunteering your time and musical talents to benefit our patients, please contact Volunteer Services.
The unconditional love between people and pets is one of the best medicines a hospital can provide. Crouse Hospital and Sunshine Friends, Inc., work together to bring specially trained dogs into the hospital to visit patients. The canines are so special they even have their own Crouse I.D. and vest. To learn more about the program, contact Volunteer Services.

[Aristos Logic has] RAID ASICs in a market segment that we dont participate in today, Suresh Panikar, Adaptecs director of worldwide marketing, told Byte & Switch. It gives us brand new opportunities on the OEM side as well as in-house ASIC capabilities.
At the moment, Adaptec sells 3-Gbit/s SAS controllers based on Intel technology to the server market, whereas Aristos Logic offers its own 6-Gbit/s silicon to the workstation and storage target market.
Adaptec, which competes with LSI and AMCC, is now looking to expand its controller lineup to SATA and SAS-based storage arrays, according to Panikar.
Aristos Logic has already clinched several OEM deals for its 3400 and 3450 controller ASICs, he says, which Adaptec is keen to exploit.

CPU Processors
The CPU (or processor) is the central component of a computer. Everything task that happens on your computer, from running a document to browsing the internet to playing a game, is controlled by the CPU.
If you're looking to build a PC mainly for home or office tasks, like browsing, e-mail and documents, then you don't really need more than a dual core CPU. If you're planning on gaming, then going for quad core or higher would be ideal, and even more so for video editing or 3D modeling.

Do you want to know God and really believe Him? Do you want to find satisfaction in God, experience His peace, and enjoy His presence? Do you want to make the freedom Christ promised a reality in your daily life?
In Breaking Free, Beth Moore embarks on a study of selected passages from the book of Isaiah, drawing several parallels between the captive Israelites and today's Christians, in order to show how to make freedom in Christ a daily reality. Moore teaches listeners to remove obstacles that hinder freedom by identifying spiritual barriers in their lives and overcoming them through the truth of God's Word - truth that will set us free.

"Great book, terrible reader"
The last. I would return it if possible
I'm a Beth Moore fan and have completed the James and Esther Bible Studies. That said, the book is great. The reader was horrible,
Anyone. I hope this was a volunteer effort. I would return this audiobook if possible. I've repeatedly tried listening to it. Its absolutely terrible.
Breaking Free from the snares of the world
Seriously, buy the book. This is horrible reading. Don't believe me? Try the sample out.
"Also disappointed"
I am so used to Beth Moore's voice that someone with a voice unlike herE's is very difficult to listen to. The speaker had no life in her voice, very monotoned. I couldn't finish the book, sorry.
The material is great and I love anything by Beth Moore.
It was monotone and awful.
I couldn't finish it because the speakers voice was too contrary to what i hear listening to Beth herself.
Change readers then I'll try the book again.
"Disappointed Listen"
The speaker was not what I expected from a Beth Moore book. Beth is lively and exuberant. I found the speaker boring. I could not get through it all because I tended to doze off. The material is good, it's just not a good listen.
Not lively enough
Does not apply.
I will eventually listen thru this, but not now. For now I am putting it away.
"Terrible narration"
I was excited to listen to another Beth Moore book. The narration was so bad that I could not even get past the first 30 minutes of the book.
The narrator was very dull sounding, no enthusiasm for the material she was reading.
"A renewing of the spirit"
This is an awesome book for anyone who needs renewed in Christ or who has never really experienced true freedom in Christ. Great Bible Study for everyone!
"Rating is difficult"
If I COULD listen, it believe it would be time very well spent. However, this reader/narrator is terrible for this book. I have tried to listen several times, but I just cannot stay focused. The reader's voice is monotone and without emphasis. I will purchase the book and read myself.
She uses no emphasis, no enthusiasm, I could not stay with the story.
Beth, please read your own books for audio. No one will ever give them the emphasis that you can and do.
I had so much self revelation- what a blessing!
Narrator was perfect.
One of the best books I've rea
"Book great, narrator not good"
I loved the book content but the narrator was very slow speaking and voice quality was not great. I wish it was a different narrator.
"Subject excellent reader seems fake"
The text and subject is amazing however the reader feels fake or makes it feel like she's reading a storybook to a child.

Poetry Reading
Broadcast date: THURSDAY, 12 October 2000
Poem: "Poetry Reading," by Elizabeth Seydel Morgan, from On Lonely Mountain (Louisiana State University Press).
It's the birthday of operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti, born in Modena, Italy (1935). After spending three years as a math teacher, Pavarotti resumed his voice studies, and in 1961 won the grand prize in the prestigious Concorso International. This led to his debut as Rudolfo in La Bohème in Vienna in 1963. He made his American debut two years later opposite Joan Sutherland in Lucia di Lammermoor. He became known as "The King of the High C," for his effortless mastery of nine high Cs in an aria in Donizetti's opera The Daughter of the Regiment.
It's the birthday of comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory, born in St. Louis, Missouri (1932). In the 1960's, Gregory became famous both as a civil rights activist and as a night club performer who used humor to explore many of the explosive social and racial issues of the day. After one of his many arrests for participation in civil rights protests, Gregory was beaten by police in a Chicago jail. He was able to joke: "I wouldn't mind paying my income tax if I knew it was going to a friendly country."
It's the birthday of African-American novelist and playwright Alice Childress, born in Charleston, South Carolina (1916). She wrote, directed, and starred in her first play, Florence, in 1949. In 1965, she wrote The Wedding Band, an interracial love story which failed to find a producer until 1979, when it was presented by the New York Shakespeare Festival. In 1973, she published A Hero Ain't Nothin' But a Sandwich, the story of a 13-year old heroin addict.
It's the birthday of English composer Ralph Vaughn Williams, born at Down Ampney, in Gloucestershire (1872), who devoted himself to collecting and arranging English folk songs.
On this day in 1492, at about two o'clock in the morning, Roderigo de Triana, the lookout on the Pinta, called out "¡Tierra, tierra!" Land, land! He had seen the white cliffs of a small island in what is now the Bahamas, which Christopher Columbus called San Salvador. The first Columbus Day was celebrated three hundred years later, on October 12, 1792, with a parade in New York City.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

With so many highs and lows from the New Orleans Saints defense in their 30-27 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 6, I broke this week's defensive film study into two parts. Click here for a play-by-play review of the Patriots' game-winning drive.
Here are some observations from the first 58 minutes of the game:
Almost game-winners: How many times did you hear the Saints lament after the loss that "you can't give Tom Brady three chances at a game-winning drive?" Well, the main reason Brady got three chances is because the Saints shut him down so quickly the first two times.
First, the Patriots took over at their own 20-yard line with 3:29 remaining, and Brady only completed one of four pass attempts. (He actually completed zero, but the refs and the Saints both missed the fact that tight end Michael Hoomanawanui's four-yard reception bounced off the turf.) Karma must have noticed, because running back Brandon Bolden dropped a pass on the next play that would have easily gone for a first down. … On third-and-6, cornerback Jabari Greer made a nice pass breakup when Brady fired quickly under blitz pressure. And on fourth-and-6, receiver Aaron Dobson dropped a pass while being hit by Greer and trying to extend his body an extra yard or two for the first down.
The Patriots then got the ball back on their own 20-yard line with 2:24 remaining, and Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis intercepted a deep ball by Brady on the first play. Brady had plenty of time to throw and step up in the pocket against a four-man rush by the Saints. But he underthrew it, and Lewis turned and waited for an easy pick while receiver Julian Edelman couldn't locate the ball in the air.
Blitz heavy: The Saints blitzed more Sunday than they had all season (18 times, by my unofficial count, including plays that were nullified by penalties). ESPN Stats & Information credited the Saints for 16 blitzes that counted, one more than they had in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons.
The blitzes were effective for the most part. They led to three of the Saints' five sacks and a few other key incompletions (including one on the final game-winning drive). And until that last drive, Brady didn't have a great day. During the first 58 minutes, Brady completed just 20 passes for 199 yards, with no touchdowns and an interception (though he was definitely hurt by dropped balls from several receivers).
Lucky break: Brady was off the mark himself a few times -- including an overthrown deep ball in the third quarter when receiver Danny Amendola broke wide open behind safety Kenny Vaccaro. That play (which came on third-and-13) easily could have resulted in an 83-yard touchdown pass and a 24-10 Patriots lead.
Bad breaks: Safety Malcolm Jenkins' 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty in the third quarter was a tough break for the Saints. He crouched as he lowered his shoulder into receiver Kenbrell Thompkins to break up a pass on second-and-6. But it appeared that his shoulder hit Thompkins' facemask, causing Thompkins' helmet to whip to the side. Although it wasn't a blatant helmet-to-helmet hit, it wasn't a surprise to see the flag since Thompkins was a "defenseless receiver" in the open field. Jenkins' hit wasn't dirty, but it's a risk anytime a defender goes near the head area.
Also, Lewis' pass interference penalty in the end zone on third-and-2 in the second quarter wasn't egregious. But he did get a little too handsy -- and he didn't need to, since Brady's pass appeared to be out of Dobson's reach. That gave the Patriots new life and an eventual touchdown.
Big plays: The Saints had five sacks (1.5 by safety Jenkins on blitzes, the other 0.5 by linebacker Ramon Humber, and one each by linebacker Curtis Lofton and ends Cameron Jordan and Tom Johnson). … Also, outside linebacker Junior Galette had two run stuffs inside the Saints' 10-yard line that were just as good as sacks. He stuffed running back LeGarrette Blount for a loss in the first quarter and disrupted a Bolden run in the fourth quarter -- both times forcing New England to settle for a field goal.
Linebacker David Hawthorne made a similar play for a 4-yard loss by Blount in the second quarter. … Linebacker Will Herring made a huge play in punt coverage in the first quarter, blowing up Edelman while he was attempting a toss across the field to Aqib Talib. The Patriots recovered the fumble, but Herring at least sent them backward and prevented a big gain. … Greer recovered for a touchdown-saving pass breakup against Thompkins in the end zone in the third quarter.
Big runs: The Saints had more breakdowns than usual against the run -- perhaps a product of them spending so much time on the field Sunday. Stevan Ridley broke off gains of 18 and 19 yards, and Bolden broke off a 12-yard gain (a combination of the Saints' big men getting pushed aside up front and linebackers taking poor angles on a couple plays). Vaccaro also whiffed on a tackle attempt during Ridley's 4-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
Worth noting: The Saints started out in a 3-3 front that they haven't used much this season, with Humber as a third linebacker and no nose tackle on the field. They spent much of the game in that formation. … The Patriots spent most of the game in a no-huddle offense (something they hadn't shown much this year, and something the Saints' defense hadn't encountered much). It certainly seemed to work in the Patriots' favor early in the game, when they rattled off three long drives (one field goal and two touchdowns in the first 23 minutes). But the Saints' defense held tough after that, keeping New England out of the end zone over the next eight possessions.

Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose was a victim of theft in Paris, according to the Associated Press. The three gold-and-diamond necklaces valued at $200,000 were stolen after the band played at Bercy stadium Tuesday.
Rose was visibly upset when attending a private event after the concert, a Paris police spokesperson told AP Wednesday.
Rose was not believed to be wearing the jewelry at the time of the robbery, the spokesperson added. Judicial police have launched an investigation.
Unfortunately, the theft wasn't the only problem the group faced during their UK dates. During their June 1 show at the O2 Arena they were interrupted by fans throwing money and pint glasses on stage, according to NME.
Bassist Tommy Stinson warned the rowdy crowd. "If you throw any f—king thing on stage, we'll go home," he said. Rose backed Stinson, saying his bandmate was "laying down the law."
At the show on May 31, concertgoers who arrived wearing T-shirts promoting former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash were not allowed to enter the venue until they changed.
Guns N' Roses are next scheduled to play Warsteiner Hockeypark in Monchengladbach, Germany on June 8.

Hugo Lloris says he remains firmly committed to Spurs and cannot wait to embark on a Champions League campaign with the club.
Lloris played his part in helping Mauricio Pochettino's side finish third in the Premier League last season to seal a place in the group stage of Europe's premier club competition.
The France keeper, who is set to be out for at least another week with a hamstring injury suffered against Everton on the opening day of the season, says he is settled at Spurs and is looking forward to being involved in the Champions League over the winter.
When asked about reports he could move on from Spurs, he told L'Equipe: "There have been rumours of my departure for many summers. From the moment we reached our goal, in spring, my mind was made up. I've never asked myself the question. I knew I would stay.
"I am in a project which started really with Pochettino. The first two seasons, yes, it didn't happen as I wished collectively, but the challenges have helped me make my way. They saw that they could count on me."
