Today Tim Kaine released a new ad, "Unleashed," that highlights his comprehensive energy strategy that is critical to growing Virginia's economy, creating jobs, and promoting national security.
The ad features Kaine at the Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center in Wise County. As Governor, Kaine worked with Republicans and Democrats to support permitting the state-of-the-art cleaner coal facility that represents one of the most significant investments in Southwest Virginia.
In the ad, Kaine says of the plant, "As governor, I supported its construction. I also support offshore energy, conservation, and innovative investments in wind and solar which together employ more than 66,000 Virginians. That's what I call unleashing our energy potential."
Kaine was the first governor to put in place a comprehensive energy strategy for the Commonwealth and in July, released an energy policy that taps all of Virginia's energy resources and promotes innovation for the future. The plan encourages conservation, supports domestic sources like cleaner coal, offshore energy, and natural gas, and embraces clean energy technologies that will make Virginia a leader in that emerging $2.3 trillion global industry.
"Increasing energy production from all sources and investing in new technologies of the future will create new jobs in the Commonwealth, make Virginia more competitive in a global economy, and reduce our reliance on foreign fuels by increasing our energy independence," said Kaine. "As governor, I was proud to put into place the state's first comprehensive energy plan and as a senator I am committed to pursuing policies that tap all of our energy resources from the cleaner coal facility in Wise County, to wind technologies on the Eastern Shore, to solar facilities in Richmond. Our commonwealth has enormous potential and with the right strategies in place we can ensure Virginia is a leader in the 21st century energy economy."
"Unleashed" is the fifth ad from Kaine for Virginia following the release of "Actions Matter" yesterday, and will run in markets across Virginia. Support from more than 30,000 donors has allowed Kaine for Virginia to purchase more than $4.5 million in advertising time between now and Election Day.

Changing your tune from desktop to mobile
Christian Karasiewicz 270005XS4E Visits (4095)
This blog post is contributed by Megan Irvine, WebSphere Education Course Deve
As more companies make their foray into the mobile space, they are now realizing that their infrastructure, which is tuned for desktop applications, might not be a good fit anymore. With mobile applications, different factors come into play, like:
To get the most out of your infrastructure and support the mobile experience, you must take these kinds of issues into account and re-tune for mobile. Using IBM Worklight as an example, here are some guidelines to set you on the right path.
Tune underlying and enterprise systems
Each component in the request flow is only as fast as the slowest link in the chain. If requests are getting hung up at the database on the back end, it does not really matter how fast your application performs on the front end. Make sure that your hardware, operating system, database and any other related systems are tuned for peak performance and can handle the expected workload. For best results, install the IBM Worklight Server on a 64-bit server.
Tune the application server
The Worklight Server is not actually an application server itself but an application that runs on a Java application server—either IBM WebSphere Application Server or Apache Tomcat. One thing that I learned from my experience working with WebSphere Application Server is that default settings are not your friend. There are several tuning parameters that you should look at and adjust accordingly. This tuning parameter hot list for WebSphere Application Server outlines a typical approach, starting with hardware requirements and then working up to reviewing your application design.
Tune the Worklight ServerAfter getting all of your underlying systems to sing in perfect harmony, there are a few more parameters that you need to adjust for optimal Worklight Server performance. The Worklight Server provides a run time container for the server-side application components and settings.
Typically, it is installed in a local area network (LAN) connecting to various enterprise systems. It can be clustered for scalability and high availability. It uses a database, and most organizations install it behind a web authentication infrastructure (web single sign-on) acting as a reverse proxy and providing Secure Sockets Layer.
1. Java virtual machine (JVM) memory allocation
The optimal memory allocation depends on your application needs and other factors. For information about how to calculate memory size, see the following documents:
2. HTTP connections
Each incoming HTTP request requires a thread for the duration of the request. If more simultaneous requests are received than can be handled by the currently available threads, more threads are created up to the configured maximum. For example, if you set the maximum number of threads to 50 and the longest call takes 500 milliseconds, then your system can handle about 100 requests per second.
How you configure this setting depends on what type of application server you have. Details are given here in the Worklight Information Center. What you do here also has an impact on the next tuning point, which is ...
3. Enterprise connections
The Worklight application components that connect to enterprise systems are called adapters, and they run on the Worklight Server. If the enterprise system does not impose a limit on the number of incoming connections, then you can set the number of connection threads per adapter to the number of HTTP threads in the application server.
If the enterprise system does limit the number of incoming connection threads, then you do not want to exceed the maximum number of enterprise connections allowed. In the case of a Worklight Server node cluster, divide this figure by the number of nodes in the cluster, and that is the value that you want to use.
You set the maxC
4. Session timeout
The next tuning point has to do with sessions. Each time a device connects to the Worklight Server, a session object is created and stored in memory. This object also contains authentication information. The serv
Another thing to keep in mind is that on the client side, while an app is in the foreground, the mobile client "heartbeat" property pings the server. This feature prevents the server session from timing out. When the app runs in the background, it does not send a heartbeat ping to the server, and the session times out according to the serv
5. Background tasks
There are a few tasks that the Worklight Server does in the background that can affect performance. These tasks involve the database or file system and can be controlled by setting some parameters in the work
And, finally ...
Tune your application
All the tuning in the world is not going to save a poorly designed application. You must reduce complexity, streamline workflows and refine the content for the mobile experience. If you do not meet user expectations, your application is likely to get deleted.
Please feel free to continue the discussion. Tell me about your experiences with tuning for the mobile experience in the comments.Megan Irvine is a WebSphere Education Course Deve

Everything Is Illuminated
Everything Is Illuminated is a 2005 adventure/dramedy film, written and directed by Liev Schreiber and starring Elijah Wood and Eugene Hütz. It was adapted from the novel of the same name by Jonathan Safran Foer, and was the debut film of Liev Schreiber both as a director and as a screenwriter.
Jonathan Foer, (played by Elijah Wood) a young American Jewish man, goes on a quest to find the woman, Lista (played by Laryssa Lauret), who saved his grandfather during the Holocaust in a small Ukrainian town called Trachimbrod that was wiped off the map when the Nazis liquidated Eastern European shtetls. His guides are a cranky, anti-semitic grandfather (played by Boris Leskin); his deranged Border collie named Sammy Davis Jr. Jr.; and his over-enthusiastic grandson, Alex (played by Eugene Hutz), whose fractured command of English, passion for American pop culture, and constant chatter threaten to make the worst of every situation. But what starts out as the tour from hell turns into a meaningful journey, with an unexpected series of revelations that will change all of their lives.

SAN JOSE — City firefighters extinguished a suspicious blaze Sunday at Independence High School that may have been connected to other fires at the east side campus.
"We're calling it a suspicious fire," said San Jose fire Capt. Reggie Williams, "because there had been other fires at the school."
Williams did not have the number, dates and nature of the previous fires on hand, but said that a "fire-cause investigator" had told him the blaze on Sunday seemed to fit a familiar pattern.
Firefighters were alerted shortly after noon by an alarm company that had wired the campus to detect fires and smoke. About 24 firefighters arrived within minutes, Williams said, and took less than an hour to extinguish the fire at an administrative building near the center of the sprawling campus. He said the fire did "significant damage" to the building, forcing it to be shut down.
There were no students on campus at the time and no firefighters were injured. Williams said investigators will continue looking into the fires on the campus.

Cathy McLaurin: I use common objects in uncommon ways, transforming my body in order to create a dreamlike atmosphere with an emotional core.
Erik Benjamins explores social ritual with optimism and informality. His practice necessitates participation and exchange, reflecting a desire to investigate the successes and failures of communication within and across cultural contexts. For this exhibition I am facilitating a portable tasting station incorporating audio, text and image.

Sarah Hill: This is what I have been thinking about this semester? Does Artaud intend his ?theatre of cruelty? to be an act of love? ... It can be seen, as an act of love, thus is positivity negates the difficulties of power. For Artaud is clear that although the ?theatre of cruelty? is about power over the audience, it is also about empowering the same audience. This is the double bind of love ?? (223 The skin of the Unconscious, 100 years of cruelty). I am wondering if it is even possible for an audience to feel love or anger? Are they not only experiencing the signifiers of love or anger?

Joanna Tam is a Hong Kong-born visual artist working primarily in photography and video. She received a BS degree in Computer Science from Boston College and is currently a MFA candidate at the School of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Often incorporating performative elements in her practice, she makes work that provokes discourses on issues and social phenomena around the themes of identity and social memory
Title: Out of bounds
By the use of soccer vernacular, Out of Bounds, is the blurring and the revealing of the obvious, understanding, translating, and communicating with equanimity and quietness. The substitution of some seriousness for a bit of absurdity and even humor, finds a balance of ambiguity and specificity. Art has the potential to closely question and activate the space created between two sides of a conflict.
I am interested in how each individual becomes existentially aware of her/his social standing and her/his relationship to those parameters that politically situate us all in the world.

Steamed salmon with potatoes and spinach
My recent discussion on steaming (February 17) produced a lot of steamy correspondence. Most readers love their electric steamers, but some were unsure of cooking times for such delicate foods as fish.
Steamers make very light work of fish — it will almost always cook before you are ready to serve it. A normal medium-thick fillet of white fish or salmon (ie, 180g/6½oz) will steam in 5 to 6 minutes. White fish such as cod will start to flake apart gently when cooked, and salmon and prawns will change colour. Oily fish such as mackerel are better grilled.
Most fish will drop quite a lot of liquid in the steamer, so steam them in a heatproof shallow bowl if you want to use the juices.

The Weston Police Commission is holding a special meeting tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 18, to discuss the possibility of adding two police officer positions to its budget request — a school resource officer (SRO) to be stationed at the Weston school campus, and an additional patrol officer.
Weston Police Chief John Troxell said his main reason for wanting an SRO is for the public safety of children, parents, and school staff. He said the issue has been under consideration for some time and is not a "knee jerk" reaction to last week's school shooting in Newtown.
"We've been talking about getting an SRO for three years now, but it's always been a budgetary issue," said Rick Phillips, commission chairman.
With members of the commission by his side, Chief Troxell spoke in favor of the creation of an SRO position at Monday night's Board of Education meeting. He said he realized the addition of one or more police officers would raise the police department's budget line, but added, "You can't put a price on the safety of children."
Schools Superintendent Colleen Palmer said she and the school board are currently studying SROs, and will be visiting Darien to see how that school system utilizes one, but the board has not decided if it wants an SRO in Weston schools.
Before Chief Troxell spoke, in an opening statement, Dr. Palmer addressed the Newtown incident and asked the board to consider hiring security officers for each school and at the entrances to School Road. During public comment, parent Yvonne D'Aquino asked if the security officers would be armed. "No, they would not," Dr. Palmer responded.
The Police Commission's special meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Commission Room at Weston Town Hall.

The Laughing Owl (Sceloglaux albifacies), also known as Whēkau or the White-faced Owl, was an endemic owl found in New Zealand, but is now extinct. It was plentiful when European settlers arrived in New Zealand in 1840. By 1880, the species was becoming rare, and the last recorded specimen was found dead at Bluecliffs Station in Canterbury, New Zealand on July 5, 1914
The Laughing Owl generally occupied rocky, low rainfall areas. Being quite large, Laughing Owls were able to deal with the introduced European rats that had caused the extinction of so much of their prey; however, the stoats introduced to control feral rabbits, and feral cats were too much for the species.

Steven Siegel is a New York based artist noted for creating large boulders/sculptures from recycled and found materials - newspapers, branches, tree trunks, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles.
"Siegel's first attempt with newspaper structures was for the Snug Harbor Sculpture Festival on Staten Island, New York. He noticed that the largest landfill in the United States was located on Staten Island. At the Fresh Kills Landfill, garbage is buried under mounds of earth. Newspapers will remain intact and readable for long periods of time. Here, Siegel thought that humans were creating a "new geology" with the human waste being buried under mounds of earth. Thus, his first attempts in this kind of sculpture were titled "New Geology #1" and "New Geology #2," both were constructed in 1990. Since the sculpture has been allowed to be overgrown with vegetation, "New Geology #2" remains intact and the newsprint is still able to be read." - wiki

At about 4,300 C-Car variants produced, it still holds the record for most road-legal electric cars made in automobile history.

Bloomfield library puts expansion plans on hold
Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:13:23 GMT —
A few months ago, the Bloomfield Public Library had
big expansion plans
- plans that would not only give the building a facelift, but bring the library up to code for ADA regulations.
But recent funding struggles have left plans in limbo, and the community is left wondering what is next.
"Currently we're on hold on the expansion because the bids came in high," said Library Director Beth Sullivan. "But I do have a gentleman who is looking into grants, which will help us in the near future."
After looking at grant options, the library will likely put out bids once more and go from there. The library was so short on funds, it had to close for two weeks, but it is now re-opened with regular hours and three part-time employees in addition to Sullivan. It is still a fully-functioning library, with computers, and soon, e-books, and Sullivan said that closed or open, the Bloomfield community has rallied around it.
"The people are very pro-library, this last month, we've had a few issues, but the patrons have come up to bat and are behind us whatever we do," Sullivan said. "Even the children, they can't wait until we have a new entrance."
Right now, the library is taking things day by day, appreciating the support of the community and raising money wherever they can.
"Right now we have a fundraiser going on, but it's low-key right now and this week we're having a book sale, a Friends of the Library book sale, and it's at the extension office here in Bloomfield and it's in the basement and Elaine Von Bon, she is in charge of that and it will be going through Saturday the 21st."
For more information on the library, or the Friends of the Library book sale, call 641-664-2209.

TORONTO, March 9 (UPI) -- An offensive rebound and tip-in by Al Jefferson that just beat the buzzer Wednesday gave the Utah Jazz a 96-94 victory over Toronto.
Utah overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter and owned a 94-91 lead when Toronto's Leandro Barbosa made a 3-pointer with 43 seconds to go. A non-shooting foul on Toronto's Reggie Evans allowed Utah to get a fresh 24-second clock and they eventually went to Devin Harris for the potential winning shot.
Harris leaned in from the right side of the basket and tossed up a layup attempt that hopped off the rim but Jefferson was there to tip in the rebound and help Utah's fading playoff hopes.
The Jazz went into the evening trailing Memphis by two games for the final post-season berth in the Western Conference with Phoenix between Utah and the Grizzlies.
Jefferson led Utah with 34 points and both Harris and C.J. Miles had 23. It was only the third Utah win in 12 games.
Toronto returned home after losing two games to New Jersey in London. DeMar DeRozan scored 17 for the Raptors.

Dr. Block.
In 63 pages I explore the entire history of interpretation of Exod 20:7 and Deut 5:11, categorizing, listening, and finally critiquing each view. It's been a fun chapter to research and write, but I'm glad it's over (for now).
[Big Satisfied Sigh]
Jacob Milgrom's commentary on the final chapters of Ezekiel. It's so hot-off-the-press that even Amazon doesn't have it yet!
It was a tremendous privilege to be part of bringing this book to press. This volume represents the last 5 years of Milgrom's scholarly work before his untimely death in 2010.
Dr. Milgrom, eminent Jewish scholar known for his work on Leviticus in the Anchor Bible series, was asked to write the final volume on Ezekiel for the same series, completing the work begun by Moshe Greenberg. Of all the commentaries available to him, Professor Milgrom found Daniel Block's Ezekiel commentary in the NICOT series to be most helpful. Block became his prime conversation partner. Since the evolving "conversation" no longer fit the parameters for the Anchor Bible series, Milgrom asked Block if they could pursue co-publication of the volume. Shortly thereafter Milgrom died, leaving the work to Dr. Block to finish. After a year of wrestling with fonts and footnotes, indices and italics, transliteration and bibliography, the book is finished. And isn't it beautiful! Wipf & Stock did a tremendous job with the cover and proved themselves once again to be the fastest and friendliest publisher on the planet.
To Dr. Block, and to the Milgrom family, with whom I've had an indirect connection all these months, Congratulations! Thanks to all of you for your persistence in publishing Dr. Milgrom's work. Students of Scripture will reap the benefits for many years to come.

If you haven't noticed the COVERGIRL NatureLuxe frenzy yet, just wait until this new addition to the NatureLuxe lineup has its wide-release in drugstores next month! If it's as well-received as its sister products in the recent past, the roar will be pretty hard to ignore. Late last year, I shared my first impressions of the line—which at the time, consisted of NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation, and NatureLuxe Gloss Balm. COVERGIRL has introduced the NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara to help complete a more "au naturel" look, with less synthetic ingredients to mirror the rest of the line. I had a chance to try it out, and I wanted to share what I think…
What makes it a little different…
While NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara is not an all-natural product, COVERGIRL has swapped out some of the synthetic ingredients commonly found in mascara, to give the product a lighter look and feel. By incorporating naturally-derived ingredients like beeswax, tapioca polymers, and carnauba wax—they hope to deliver a more luxurious product that performs just as well more costly products, but with a "luxury touched by nature" feel.
Let's take a look at the brush…
The brush resembles what I believe to be one that's very similar to many on the mass market today. Nothing that's over-the-top or radically different (no gimmicky monstrous brush here), but notice how the bristles are in close pairs—that typically helps to result in natural-looking volume. A tapered tip like this one helps make it easy to maneuver in both the inner and outside corners for even application. The bristles are flexible, so they can coat the lashes pretty evenly with ease.
While applying NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara, I appreciate that it doesn't take a lot of effort to get it right. You know how with some mascaras, you're left building and separating for a bit to make it look the way you'd like? With this one, I found it pretty effortless to just swipe on a few times, almost mindlessly—because it was nice and clean, without clumping or flaking. I also noticed that it lacks that synthetic "plastic-y" scent as I commonly call it, and instead it smells pleasant—almost sweet—like honey. I found that pretty interesting!
It's kind of hard to tell exactly how this is a mousse formula—but I guess I would call it a mousse by taking how it looks and feels on my lashes into consideration, it's very lightweight. COVERGIRL states that the mousse formula is "20% lighter than the most expensive volume mascara", and even though I have no way to quantify that (nor do I know which super secret mascara they're talking about), I could see how this formula is a little different than your typical mascara formula. When I feel most others—they are almost tacky (as in sticky), or very dry. NatureLuxe actually feels creamy on my fingertips in contrast. So I can understand why they're calling it "Mousse Mascara", fair enough to me on that note.
NatureLuxe delivers a very believable, natural-looking, clean volume. I don't believe it was meant to deliver outrageous volume (and I think it lacks the synthetic polymers and fibers to achieve that), so if that's what you're in the market for—this probably won't be for you. What I really like about it is how it makes my lashes look light and fluttery, but still well-defined without looking fake. My lashes (like myself) have many moods! I don't want crazy volume, or a falsie-look every day. Variety is the spice of life! My lashes don't feel crispy or heavy with NatureLuxe, another plus.
Available in four shades (and in both regular and water-resistant formulas), I'm wearing Very Black in the photos. Here, you can see the subtle differences between Very Black and Black:
Final thoughts…
I think COVERGIRL achieved what they set out to do with NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara—and that was to deliver a non-clumping, natural-looking, volumizing mascara with fewer synthetic ingredients. I like this as an everyday, better-than-basic mascara that isn't too outrageous, nor is it boring. My lashes stay soft and touchable, and slightly lifted for the day without any flaking issues. The one recommendation I would make is for anyone who has issues with allergies or very watery eyes—opt for the water-resistant formula instead.
Price & Availability: $8.99, drugstores & drugstore.com; in black, very black, black brown, and brown

HAVE you ever wondered how Hollywood pip-squeaks transform into big-screen powerhouses in just a few months?
Or, if you're a movie buff like me, maybe you've recently wondered about the following: How did Mark Wahlberg get ripped to play boxer "Irish" Micky Ward in The Fighter? What does Jason Statham do to stay jacked up and stay in top physical condition?How did Chris Hemsworth pack on 10 kilograms of muscle to play Thor?
As I studied the workouts these actors followed, I did not discover any breakthrough training protocol or super-fancy nutrition formula.
The most common workout theme was brief, frequent and intense workouts from a variety of training styles. Not much was noted about nutrition, but I would assume that each meal was protein- and vegetable-based, with complex carbohydrates tailored around the individual's metabolism and goal.
If the actor was not gaining muscle weight, I would assume that extra tablespoons of healthy fats (like nuts and nut butters) were added to his diet. Overall, I noticed more lessons that are applicable to the majority of us, rather than the minority. I've summarised your take-home lesson with each point.
1. Put something at stake
Actors are highly motivated - a multimillion dollar movie deal works wonders.
Take-home point: Put something at stake. Join a transformation contest. Make a bet. Donate a certain amount of money to an organisation you dislike if you don't achieve your goal. Get some blood in the game.
2. Set a deadline and announce it
Actors are working against non-negotiable deadlines. I've always preached that goals without deadlines are dreams.
Take-home point: Set a deadline and announce it to people you don't want to disappoint.
3. Plan According To Workload
Actors can recover faster than individuals with demanding jobs or those working toward a degree. Actors are paid to know their lines and look the part, so their day can revolve around training and eating. They can also take more frequent naps, a key to body transformation. What a life!
Take-home point: Plan your more aggressive training cycles during periods of the year when your work is less stressful.
4. Don't compare your results to those of others
Many actors who transform from sissy boys to superheroes are rather thin, carry very little muscle to start with and are blessed with faster-than-average metabolisms.
This means they have a greater potential for change than an individual who has four years of intense training. If they were to start the same program at the same time, a beginner weightlifter will always gain more muscle than an advanced weightlifter.
This happens because beginners' bodies tend to adapt and respond efficiently to a brand-new stimulus, since they are starting further from their genetic ceiling. The more your muscles are forced to adapt, the more they grow (think Taylor Lautner).
Take-home point: Don't compare your results to those of others. Let your training age keep your progress in perspective.
5. Give yourself enough time
Actors typically have a generous 12 to 16 weeks to build muscle and burn fat. Over a course of 16 weeks, it's not uncommon to burn at least 12 or more kilograms of blubber to create the illusion of gaining 10 or more kilograms of muscle if everything is done effectively.
Take-home point: Give yourself enough time to transform. Drop the get-rich-quick fitness mentality.
6. Think Year-Long Training
Most of our superheroes are not wearing a Speedo, so they can prioritise their training to the muscle groups that give the illusion of size and power.
For example, a built upper clavicular area (the upper chest, traps and shoulders) gives the appearance of size and power. Other body parts that show strength are biceps, upper back and ripped abs.
So throughout your contest prep, these areas should be prioritised. Since the body has a limited capacity to adapt to stress, the actor's recovery resources can be dedicated to these body parts so that he will look more muscular in those desired areas.
Although this is not an ideal long-term plan, volume could be reduced in the lower body to set up the potential for more upper body mass.
Take-home point: Dedicate periods of the year to your slow-to-grow body parts to improve your body's symmetry and proportion.
7. Target Your Ideal Body Percentage
Why is it so important to focus on the illusion muscles? Consider a fitness model show. Do you ever wonder why professional fitness models look so big on stage (or on covers) but when they stand beside you they resemble a rather average-looking individual? It's because most male fitness models have 31- to 32-inch (79cm -81cm) waists (and weigh between 75 to 85 kilograms) that create the illusion of broad shoulders.
When competing at the 2011 WBFF World Championships, I couldn't compete with the top competitors because I have a 34-inch waist, making it harder for my shoulders to jump at you.
In short, if I was casting for the next Hollywood action hero, I would cast an individual with a tiny waist. Our superheroes are lean enough - I say "enough" because none of them are boasting body fat percentages (like four per cent to five per cent) that could grace a stage. Going much lower than 10 per cent can lead to muscle loss, drop in performance and a gaunt look. My definition of lean is 10 per cent body fat. At six per cent to nine per cent, you're ripped. At five per cent or less, you're shredded. So why 10 per cent and not 13 per cent?
Take-home point: Give yourself permission to be light. If your goal is to be 90 kilograms, but you look better at 85 kilograms, who cares?
8. The Lean Threshold
Enter the Lean Threshold. This applies to both men and women, but we'll use a man as an example. The Lean Threshold suggests that at certain body fat levels a man will look the same.
This means that if a man is 13 per cent to 18 per cent body fat, then you will not be able to distinguish the difference. Ten percent body fat for a man is very lean; 18 per cent or more for a man is fat. If a man is under 10 per cent fat or over 18 per cent fat, then you'll clearly be able to tell if he's "lean" or "fat." Anything in between is very vague, and it is very hard to notice the differences.
So what does this mean for you? If you truly want your physique to stand out, you need to get out of the "vague" zone and dial in 10 per cent body fat. The equivalent of 10 per cent body fat for a male is about 15 per cent fat for a female.
The law of specificity! This law states that the specific nature of a training load produces its own specific response adaptations. The training load must be specific to both the individual and to the demands of their chosen event. In short, this concept basically enforces this: "You get what you train for."
Another way to say this is: If you want to become a better boxer, box. If you want to become a better cyclist, cycle. If you want to look more like a power lifter, train like a power lifter. If you study Mark Wahlberg's workout for The Fighter, you'll see that his coach, Bo Cleary, had him doing three-minute rounds of shadow boxing, punching the speedball, pad work, rope skipping, and speed bag.
Emulate the six-pack ab workout that personal trainer Jordan Yuam designed for Taylor Lautner, and you'll be doing a lot of direct ab work, like a freaky-looking fitness model. Looking to become another gladiator in Spartacus? Get ready to spend four hours every day training like a gladiator: weapon moves, combat skills, circuit training, sprints, and team games like tug-of-war.
It's neat to see how this group training reinforces a pack mentality, which is necessary to survive in the brutal Coliseum. The gladiators don't train just for size and power but for agility, speed and strength, and a mindset to win. In short, if you train like a gladiator, you're going to look like a gladiator.
Take home point: Is your workout designed to help you in the field you're in or achieve the look you're after?
The Final Word
The biggest lesson we can learn is that actors know their end outcome, whether it be a gladiator, boxer, superhero, or tough guy.
They have a crystal-clear vision of how they must look, feel and perform, and their training is dedicated to that goal.
They avoid goal hijacking and program hopping, which reminds us of the popular quote "The best program is the one that you follow."

Bryant Bolsters Confidence in State's Aerospace Industry
Bryant Bolsters Confidence in State's Aerospace Industry
The University of Mississippi issued the following news release:
Praising the role of the Haley Barbour Center for Manufacturing Excellence at the University of Mississippi in assisting aerospace manufacturing operations around Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant reaffirmed his commitment Tuesday to maintain and increase an educated work force for present and future employers.
"Mississippi is working for so many people in so many different ways," Bryant said, speaking to approximately 100 people gathered at the CME. "In order to continue the state's economic progress, we must have an educated work force."
The governor's remarks were the keynote address for the General Electric Aviation Suppliers Symposium, held at the center.
In July 2011, GE Aviation announced plans to invest $56 million on a new, 300,000-square-foot facility in Ellisville projected to create 250 new jobs within the next five years. The plant is expected to open in 2013. Then-Gov. Barbour joined GE Aviation President and CEO David Joyce at the announcement.
The new facility will join an existing Mississippi aviation factory - opened in Batesville in 2008 - in manufacturing advanced composite components for aircraft engines and systems. The Ellisville plant's 250 new high-tech manufacturing jobs come on top of Batesville's growing roster of 300 employees. GE Aviation expects to invest $150 million in the two locations by the end of the decade.
The company has more than 30 locations across the U.S and announced new engine and service orders for its joint venture companies totaling $27 billion at the Paris Air Show.
Stating that the stars are the limit, Bryant assured listeners he will do all within his power to make sure that Mississippi becomes known as the new, modern corridor for the aerospace industry.
"We're raising the standards by tearing down those imaginary walls that separate classes according to their socio-economic backgrounds," Bryant said. "We will get away from the idea that only the affluent are entitled to have access to a first-class education."
The governor pointed to numerous kinds of manufacturers as evidence that "Mississippi Works," which is the theme of the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning and state Department of Education.
"Manufacturing excellence is something we do well," Bryant said. "For generations, people have thought of Mississippi as being a good place for agriculture, furniture building, shipyards and, more recently, at least two major auto industries. With suppliers to GE and other aerospace-related industry, our global reputation is continuing to advance each year."
Noting the role of UM's CME, Bryant said research and development is key to keeping the state's work force strong and viable in difficult economic times and beyond.
"The CME is a great tool for selling Mississippi to potential companies looking to expand their operations," he said. "Because our program offers a full range of training opportunities from assembly lines to corporate executive, it also helps to keep future business leaders within the state."
GE's manufacturing operations in the U.S. have been on a roll lately, with advanced, R&D-driven techniques and processes, ground-up factory floor innovation and growing demand for exports fueling expansion in New York, Texas and Pennsylvania. In the last two years, GE has announced the creation of approximately 7,000 new high-tech manufacturing jobs.

Kate Upton and Mercedes—two things that are completely out of my league.
Wait, since when did Super Bowl commercials have their own teaser trailers? Is this a new thing, or have I just fallen out of the loop yet again. Anywho, the German automobile manufacturer went and nabbed the voluptuous Kate Upton to star in their Super Bowl XLVII commercial for the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA. In the teaser trailer Upton sexily and sultrily "washes" one of the new cars in slow-motion, and by washes I mean she has a bunch of football players doing the dirty work for her…
Wait, there was a car in that clip?
Would that teaser have been better had Kate Upton been doing the car washing? Of course. Does this mean it's not worthy of repeated viewings? Absolutely not. Would I still cut off my left arm to be the guy that is responsible for bubble placement in Upton's hand? I think you know the answer to that one.

For baseball players, one of the enduring symbols of reaching the professional level is to see their image on a baseball card. Since the 19th century, generations of young baseball fans would eagerly tear open a package of cards to see which new cards could be added to their collection, while starting to chew on the hard, thin slab of bubble gum included in each pack.
Over the years, cards based on other professional sports – including football, soccer, and basketball – were added to what are officially known as collectible trading cards. Over the past 60 years or so, dozens of former UConn student-athletes who have advanced to professional leagues have added their images to trading cards in several major league sports. A new five-panel exhibition in the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum, "Collecting Trading Cards Is Collecting Huskies," now provides a history of Husky trading cards over the years.
The exhibition is the first phase of several updates and enhancements in the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, located in the lower level of the Alumni Center, that will allow more flexibility to update specific sport histories, artifacts, and new kiosk presentations, says Tim Tolokan, special assistant to the director of athletics, who is curator of the museum.
A trading card exhibition has been part of discussions between Tolokan and Harrison "Whitey" Jenkins for several years, since Jenkins used a series of trading cards in his design to renovate the True Blue Tavern at the Nathan Hale Inn, the hotel on the Storrs campus, with an all-Huskies theme. Jenkins has worked with the Department of Athletics for more than 20 years — creating their signature displays and signage in various athletic facilities, including Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and Joseph J. Morrone Stadium – as part of his corporate and museum design firm, based in Bloomfield, Conn.
The True Blue Tavern includes enlargements of trading cards for several former Huskies, including Rebecca Lobo '95 (CLAS) and Svetlana Abrosimova '01 (BUS) of the WNBA, Walt Dropo '48 (CLAS), Charles Nagy '88 (CLAS), and Roland Sheldon '65 (ED) of Major League Baseball, and Alfred Fincher '05 (CLAS) and Brian Kozlowski '93 (CLAS) of the NFL. The restaurant also has championship trophies won by the Huskies, various sports equipment, and poster-size photos of UConn student-athletes in action, as well as ceiling tiles listing All-Americans in various sports.
"Because we had done the trading cards over there, Tim and I have been talking for years how much fun it would be to showcase the cards," Jenkins says. "But we did not realize how many trading cards it would entail. Ray Allen has almost 1,000 different trading cards; he could have an exhibit on his own. It's a fun phenomenon of what's happened in the world of trading cards. It's a really nice way to trace where these people have started as far as their entry into professional sports."
The first Husky to ever appear on a trading was Dropo, the 1950 Rookie of the Year in the American League playing for the Boston Red Sox, who played 13 seasons in Major League Baseball after being a three-sport star at UConn in football, basketball, and baseball. A separate display features the only Husky to appear on trading cards in two sports – Scott Burrell, who played two summer seasons of minor league baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays while at UConn, before spending eight seasons in the NBA.
There is also a panel tracing the history of trading cards, from the original cards issued with tobacco and candy products to the explosion of popularity in the cards and expansion to several card manufacturers including Topps, Fleer, and Upper Deck.
Among the 160 trading cards of former Husky stars included in exhibit are: Ray Allen (1993-1996) of the Milwaukee Bucks, Donald Brown (2005-2008) of the Indianapolis Colts, Sue Bird '02 (CLAS) of the Seattle Storm, Diana Taurasi '05 (CLAS) of the Phoenix Mercury, and O'Brian White (2005-2008) of the Seattle Sounders.
The J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum is open free of charge to the general public during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday) at the UConn Alumni Center. The Museum is also open two hours prior to select men's and women's basketball games at the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion.

Annuity Prices, Money's Worth and Replacement Ratios: UK experience 1972 - 2002
In this paper we construct a time series of annuity prices from 1972-2002, and examine whether annuity rates are unfairly priced, and assess the extent to which annuitisation risks are hedged by stock market returns. We find no evidence that the average annuity rate is unfairly low. Depending on the assumptions about future longevity, the present value of an annuity (it's money's worth) is of the order of between 90 per cent and 100 per cent of the purchase price. Compared with the typical costs of buying financial services this figure looks suspiciously good. In addition, we find no reason to suggest that individuals are worse off by annuity rates being low, since this has been off-set by increases in the value of pension funds over the last thirty years. Even apart from the fact that people retiring today expect to live longer, their pension income (compared to their final salary) looks as good as ever.

Google TV Hub Information
From a software standpoint, the early impressions of the GTV interface are largely positive. From the limited demonstration featured during the keynote, as well as other early sneak peek footage, the device allows for seamless integration between standard television and web content.

Nevertheless, questions are emerging about the problems which might arise from trying to experience the web on such large screens, as well as trying to optimize existing content for such a large platform.
Presently, Yahoo TV customers have access to thousands of widget based applications, giving them access to things like their Flickr accounts, the weather, news, and some television content. Google TV poses a serious threat, as users will have access to (theoretically) all the content found online. In terms of cost, analysts predict Yahoo TV will have a slight edge, at least for a while, as GTV hardware is expected to cost more given the need for higher performance hardware.
Yahoo also currently holds a more extensive list of partners which manufacture devices with Yahoo TV capability, including Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio and HiSense. In addition, Yahoo is also working with chipmakers like MIPS Technologies, Sigma Designs and OEM partners like ViewSonic to bring Yahoo TV to set-top boxes, DVD and Blu-ray players. Syabas, makers of the upcoming Popbox hardware device, have delayed shipping pre-orders until July 23rd amidst software issues.
To make matters worse, the set-top box will no longer be supporting Netflix, which may cause many to regret their preorder. The device also does not feature any means of connecting to a standard def TV, although this is not nearly as big an issue as the lack of Netflix support. On their official blog, Syabas also downplayed rumors of hardware DRM issues, stating that the current device will be able to support all future partner applications without the need for a hardware upgrade. The current list of parters includes Revision3, YouTube, Picasa, Clicker, and Twitter Samsung has announced the addition of Google Maps to their Samsung Apps store, which they advertise as the world's first HDTV application store.
We are sponsored by the following companies:
|Office Carpets, carpet tiles
|NHS Heroes, buy modafinil
|FES, flood restoration melbourne
|OFQ, office fitouts melbourne
|SE, clickfunnels review
|Lunamik, video production
|MFD, car detailing
|Gather, Gather Australia
|HE, carpet cleaning melbourne
|ES, solar panels brisbane
|TW, emdg grant
The move would allow owners of Internet ready Samsung TV's to enjoy Google Maps in full HD, which would undoubtedly be visually enjoyable. Eric Anderson, Sony's VP of content and product solutions, had the following to say about Samsung Apps: "we created Samsung Apps so that content creators can develop applications that can be experienced on big-screen TVs." According to the press statement, Samsung currently holds the #1 market share in Internet connected TV's, and given Google's consideration of a partnership with the TV manufacturer, this announcement comes as little surprise.
We will continue to bring you any new developments between these two companies, and there will surely be more to come. With yesterday's announcement of the Logitech Revue, as well as Google's vastly improved explanation video, there is definitely a lot of excitement to be had. There is one aspect of Google TV, however, that is not being made as publicly available and will come as a disappointment to some. The Android Market, home to over 50,000 apps, will not be immediately available during the initial launch of Google TV. Not only that, it is still unknown as to whether or not an APK installer will be included for those that download files themselves using the browser.
Google is doing this so developers have a chance to optimize their applications for use on Google TV, which is understandable. The APK add-on will likely be available early next year, with the full Android Market rolling out shortly thereafter. Also, with the Google TV source code not being released until sometime next year, it is less likely the hacking community will be able to provide an unofficial means of installing apps manually.
All of these factors makes this weeks video slightly misleading, as it clearly advertises the use of the Android Market without making mention of the 2011 release date. Once people begin to catch wind of this, it may result in fewer initial GTV customers. With no immediate threat from Apple, and the further delay of the Boxee set-top box, Google should perhaps consider pushing back the release date until early 2011 and provide full access to the Android Market. We've said it before, and we're saying it again.
Boxee has yet again announced a change of plans for the release of its first set top box. Some of you may remember last month when Boxee delayed the device, once slated for June, until this coming November. Unsurprisingly, there isn't a concrete release date at this time, but Boxee CEO Avner Ronen is assuring an announcement will be made very soon. This persistant flip-flopping is surely a reaction to the Fall release of Google TV, and the increasing rumors of an updated Apple TV.
Boxee would love their device to be first in the race for the market, but it is yet to be seen if they can actually pull it off. There is a certain level of uncertainty associated with unveiling new products at large scale events like the recent Google I/O conference. Often times, there is speculation as to whether or not the public release will live up to the expectations bestowed upon it, like the famous E3 Killzone 2 trailer. The demonstrations of Google TV were certainly impressive, but the question remains: can Google deliver the same level of functionality and ease of use that was witnessed this past week? Google's ventures outside of search have been a mix of great, not so great, and sometimes downright ugly.
However, there must be a certain level of assuredness stemming from the Mountain View brass regarding GTV, given the swaggering nature of the keynote address coupled with the not so subtle stabs at their neighbors in Cupertino. To ensure that GTV does not go the way of Apple TV, which Steve Jobs himself still feels is experimental, Google has partnered up with some fairly big names which add some serious weight to the project. For those who are already satisfied with their current TV, Google will be offering a hardware top box made by Logitech, which will act as a hub to the content on the web, as well any cable or satellite boxes connected to the device. Users will have the choice of controlling the device via a peripheral controller still under development, or via a smartphone connected to the same WiFi as the GTV box.
Information about the product release date and pricing are not yet available at this time, but Engadget is offering an in-depth preview of this device. Next up is Sony, which will be offering the first HDTV with GTV already on-board. Again, little is known about hardware specifications at this point, other than Intel providing the processing power as stated on the Sony website. What other brands might be offering integrated GTV solutions is also unclear at this time, but there will undoubtedly be other companies stepping up to the plate as well.
The other big name currently attached to the project is DISH Network, who is now advertising their partnership with Google to introduce GTV in the Fall. DISH Network customers will be able to utilize Google TV using their current hardware, along with a separate GTV device (be it the Logitech device or one specific to DISH). From the keynote address, it appears as if Google TV will be compatible with all cable or satellite providers, and it is unclear what advantage, if any, DISH will provide to the GTV experience. Best Buy is also in the mix, and will be featuring GTV demo stations, as well as offering the devices themselves for sale, sometime in the fall.
Further issues have arrisen, such as the questionable future of popular streaming sites such as Hulu, as well as the level of demand that actually exists for a device like this, given the number of consumers already experiencing the web on their televisions via gaming consoles and other proprietary devices. It is far too early to tell the kind of impact Google TV will have on home entertainment.
Given the ever growing popularity of experiencing television on the web, however, Google TV has the potential to be truly game changing in an arena others have tried, and mostly failed, to succeed in.
Tech industry feedback
"Google's taking a big leap with Google TV — unlike its competitors, who've all focused on delivering curated video content with inexpensive streaming devices"
"Features like the search bar and integrated browser are so fundamentally good on a conceptual level that they seem destined to forever change our perception of TV user experience, regardless of how well Google TV itself fares in the market, and that's no small accomplishment. Other features, like apps and smartphone control, seem equally ambitious and worthy of praise because of promise alone."

SDG&E, Edison, PG&E still trying to recover fire costs
Don Bauder 7:30 a.m., Nov. 20
San Diego Once known as San Diego's "county hospital," UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest is now a teaching hospital for one of the nation's most prestigious medical schools. As the old county hospital, it was known as the place where poor people went; its reputation was less desirable than nearby Mercy, a private Catholic hospital.
Today, UCSD's reputation equals or exceeds that of any local hospital, but many of the poor and uninsured still find themselves there when there's nowhere else to go. This is especially apparent in the emergency room.
According to Dr. David Guss, "We see about 110 patients a day. We're seeing about 39,000 patients a year here. We also see about 19,000 patients a year at our Thornton facility." Guss is the director of UCSD's Department of Emergency Medicine. "I have responsibilities for all the components of the department and ultimately all of their functions. That includes running two emergency departments and two urgent cares -- here and Thornton Hospital in La Jolla.
"We have a residency in emergency medicine, with six residents a year spread out over three years for a total of 18 residents. We have a division of hyperbaric medicine, where we treat patients with diving emergencies and 'the bends.' We have one of the four nodes of the California poison system...a medical toxicology service that does consults and manages inpatients with toxic emergencies, and we're also involved in the physician staff for an air medical service."
A native of Brooklyn, Guss, 49, is tall, lean, and muscular. He speaks in a soft, raspy voice with an East Coast accent. "I did my residency in internal medicine here, joined the faculty of the newly developed department of emergency medicine back in 1979, and I've been doing this ever since."
Besides his regular hours in the ER, Guss is available twice a month on a 24-hour shift as a backup physician. "It used to be a rare occurrence to be called in, but it has increased steadily. Now it occurs about half of the time that I'm on call." The increase in calls reflects the difficulties all hospitals are facing. "More patients, sicker patients, more acuity, and more complexity."
Another increasing occurrence in the ER is the number of uninsured patients who can't make an appointment with a family doctor. "In some respects, the word 'emergency' is misleading; there's never been a time that everybody seen in an emergency department had an emergency that was life or limb threatening. It's always been the case that a minority of the patients really fit that category.
"Most of the patients that utilize emergency departments are a mixture of those with potentially life- or limb-threatening injuries and those with new, acute medical problems that the patient feels needs immediate attention. Over the last decade, there's been an increase in the number of patients coming to emergency departments because they do not have access to alternatives. It's one of those fine points that gets overlooked when people are trying to analyze the problem. They'll say, 'Well, we just need to triage the patients more effectively,' but it's not as simple as that. There's not really resources to triage them to, nor do we have the tools to properly identify those that don't need to be evaluated. It's more complex than many people would make it out to be."
A common complaint about ERs is the long wait. Guss understands the frustration but explains, "There are definitely times where people will end up waiting six, eight, or ten hours to be seen, turn out to have a minor problem, and therefore not require elaborate evaluation and treatment. Unfortunately, there's not a great deal we can do about that. But in general, the way our emergency department is set up -- most places are set up this way -- the first person that you see is the triage nurse. Her job is to determine who has a potentially life- or limb-threatening problem. That determination will dictate how quickly you're seen if there are limited resources to see you or if there's an imbalance between resource and demand -- all the rooms are filled, all the doctors are busy, and there are patients waiting.
"We take them first come, first served, but that is supplanted by medical needs. So you may be waiting for four hours, and somebody comes in with chest pain, and if the triage nurse decides that could be a heart attack, which could kill that person in minutes, that person's going to be put in a room immediately, even if it means taking someone else out of a room. That's often a source of frustration for patients who are waiting because they can't tell just by looking at someone how sick they are, and they think there's preferential treatment going on.
"In fact, we really treat everybody the same, regardless of race, religion, or economics. Most of the emergency departments in this town work with the same general ethic. We see the patient, we investigate what the problem is, and we take care of the medical problem. We really have blinders on with respect to the other issues."
But Guss acknowledges this egalitarian approach wasn't always the case. "People were getting kicked around from hospital to hospital, sometimes egregiously so, but that is not the standard of care in San Diego. You can go to any ER, tell them what your problem is, and they will evaluate you for that problem. If they deem that it is not an emergency, or they've managed the emergency condition, they may refer you, and your referral options may be limited because of finances. But in terms of dealing with an acute emergency, whether it can be resolved in the emergency department or requires admission to the hospital, it will happen. I think that happens 99 percent of the time. I wouldn't have been able to say the same thing in the 1980s, but I can comfortably say that now."
Guss concedes that some people have a bad experience in the emergency department just as they do when they access anything -- be it a car dealership, buying clothes, or going to the grocery store. "If we have, in any way, contributed to that bad experience, which may be the case in isolated circumstances, we'll apologize for it. We'll investigate the circumstances and try to avoid any repetition."

Hello! I have 2 questions: - In "Portfolio", "Portfolio Meta Info Setting", i would like to change "Client" by "Description ". - In the same category, i don't need "website", can i make it disappear?
Thanks a lot! Camille
Hi Camille,
Did you mean you are using the WordPress version (the comment section here is for the HTML template version) ? If so, there is no option for that unfortunately. You would need to manually customize the UXbarn Portfolio plugin code for that.
In case you are having more question regarding the WordPress version, please post your comment here: http://themeforest.net/item/fineliner-responsive-portfolio-wordpress-theme/6363903/comments
The visual composer for text box stop working. It's not show the text and I don't have all the option (bold, colour…) anymore. Is there an update that could have make it bugged?
Already responded to your comment in the WordPress version.
Hello, how can I get the distance between the first fine double line and the main text smaller?
You could directly edit the CSS for reducing that space. Please open "fineliner.css" and find this:
#intro-wrapper { margin-bottom: 110px; }
Try adjusting this value to make the space smaller.
In case you would like to use custom CSS for other elements, I would recommend "Developer Tools" on Chrome or "Firebug" on Firefox to inspect the elements on the page. Then you can know which CSS selector to adjust.
Hi there! Quick question: How I can change the background image in Full Page Option? Thank you for your support!
I found it. Thank You.
Very nice template and easy to work with. Everything is just as it should be. I had one problem with customization and UXbarn provided me clean and simple solution.
Thanks guys
You're welcome and thank you very much for your kind words!
Hi there! The fancybox gallery is not working for me. When I click on the thumbnails, it says "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later." I did not have this problem when loading it from my hard drive. Now that it's uploaded to a test server (online), I'm seeing this error.http://makemeimmortal.com/healey-test/gallery.html
The error message usually means that the image URL could not be reached somehow. Please make sure that the URL of the image is correct and accessible.
Could you please tell me how to darken the page itself when watching the photos in the portfolio?
Sorry but I could not see the Purchased badge here. Please post with the account that made a purchase.
Will you be modifying Finaliner to use Foundation 5?
Hi there!
Unfortunately I do not have a plan on that.
Hi again, Could you please tell me how to darken the page itself when watching the photos in the portfolio? Another isue, when using an iPhone or iPad and zooming in on a photo the site crashes and this message is displayed: "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded" Please advise. Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
1. Did you mean the background color when viewing the photo on lightbox mode? If so, you can adjust that in "/js/fineliner.js" file, just edit the code of Fancybox call in there.
Note that the template uses Fancybox for the lightbox feature. You can find more about its options and APIs on here: http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/ . Specifically, see the link of "Change overlay color and opacity" on their website for the tip of how to adjust the background and opacity.
2. Hmm, I could not find the issue on my end on both iPad and iPhone. But as I have roughly googled with the error keywords: "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded", looks like this is a common issue of the Safari itself. Some people also got the issue while browsing on some websites (not everyone).
Some guys suggested to clear history and website data in Safari and it helped.
Thanks! One last question. The homepage slideshow doesn't autoplay. How can I activate that please?
Please open "/js/fineliner.js" file and find this code:
var homeSliderAutoAnimated = false; var homeSliderAutoAnimatedDelay = 2000;
Just change it to "true" for the first one and you can also adjust the number of milliseconds for the auto slideshow here.
Hi there
Many thanks for this amazing theme.
I've just changed my business logo so it's actually vertically longer than the original. I'm wondering how to accommodate this extra vertical length in the code so it sits correctly within the header and the menu are.
Hi there!
You can use CSS to fix the height of the logo so it would not overflow the header area. For example:
#logo img { max-height: 50px; }
I am having an issue with google maps. "Google Maps element. Please contact the site administrator. If you are the administrator of this site, please check the JavaScript console or check the following page for troubleshooting: http://g.co/mapsJSApiErrors" Is there a quick fix for this? Thank you.
Could you please head to https://uxbarn.ticksy.com/ and open a private ticket with the following info?
1. FTP info of your site (FTP address, username, password – you might create a temporary one for me)
2. Page URL that has got the issue
I would have to check and debug the code on your end to see what happen. I just tried checking the template here on my server and online demo but could not reproduce the issue.
Note: It looks like your support period has expired, please consider renewing it on the item page here: https://themeforest.net/item/fineliner-responsive-portfolio-html-template/5888959 for covering the item support.
We are going to take a vacation from November 21 through November 25, 2016. So we might not be able to respond to your ticket on a daily basis.
If you have any questions about the theme, please try searching our support site ( https://uxbarn.ticksy.com/ ), check out the articles on that site ( https://uxbarn.ticksy.com/articles/ ), search through the comments of the purchased item on ThemeForest ( https://themeforest.net/user/uxbarn/portfolio ), and check out our website ( https://uxbarn.com/ ) for some more useful articles.
Thank you.
hi, I receltly purchused Fineliner html. I have a question: in the page "portfolio-list-3-columns.html", I would like to have occasionally, an image span over 2 columns out of the 3 columns.
Can you please guide me what to do in the css/html in order to be able to do that?
Thanks so much!!!
Hi there!
Thanks for the purchase!
You would have to manually customize the CSS of the template in order to change it to 2 columns layout. In the "/css/fineliner.css" file, you can try changing from:
.portfolio-root-wrapper.col3 .portfolio-item { width: 30.47%; }
to this one:
.portfolio-root-wrapper.col3 .portfolio-item { width: 47%; }
Then clear all the cache and reload the page. The portfolio should display as 2 columns layout now.

AUSTRALIAN eatery Attica has stormed into the prestigious San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list for the first time, winning the award for highest new entry.
The Melbourne restaurant entered the prestigious list with its ranking of 21.
Chef Ben Shewry's cooking was described as "imaginative and outstandingly good" and tribute paid to his dedication in foraging for wild ingredients near his home on the Victorian coastline.
His respect for the pure, natural flavours of the ingredients he uses can be experienced in dishes from the current Attica menu such as a "potato cooked in the earth it was grown" and "cucumbers, sauce of burnet and dried river trout".
Attica also won the award for highest ranked restaurant in Australasia.

The only other Australian entry in the list was Sydney's Quay, which fell to 48 from a ranking of 29 last year.
In the supplementary list rankings up to 100, Momofuku Seiobo appeared for the first time at 89. Marque and Tetsuya both dropped off the list.
