Last year, when the International Monetary Fund published a paper on offshore tax havens, it included Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, Jersey, the Bahamas and several other countries where the rich stash their money beyond the reach of grabby governments back home. But there was one surprising new entry on the list: the United Kingdom. The IMF was merely recognizing what wealthy foreigners in Britain have known for years. While British citizens shoulder taxes of up to 40%, residents who weren't born there can take advantage of the nondomicile or nondom rule, which means they're only taxed on income made...

Ask About Strategy
Some pace leaders shoot for even splits, running each mile at the same pace with slight modifications for hills. Run-walk leaders insert walk breaks every few miles. Others start out slower than goal pace, speeding up slightly over the course of the race and then dialing it back over the final miles. De Reuck suggests newbie marathoners and those with a slower time goal (five-plus hours) look for a group that incorporates walk breaks. Runners with a tendency to start too fast should join one that eases into the first miles. Just remember, the strategy should mimic what you've done in training.
Enjoy the Ride
Pace groups can be loud and feel congested. But you can't beat the camaraderie, says Blackford. "Having a group of runners next to you who are trying to qualify for Boston or break a PR is very different than simply running with 17,000 people," she says. "They can pull you through dark patches and give you motivation you can't give yourself."
Run Better: Pace-group etiquette dictates not crowding your pacer or others in the group and moving quickly through all the water stops.
Group Therapy
Ace pacer Star Blackford's tips for dealing with pack problems
You can't find an appropriate group
The solution: If your pace isn't offered, go to runnersworld.com/tools and plug your finish time into the Marathon Pace Band calculator for splits. Or check the expo: Vendors like Clif Bar often provide pace bands for any goal.
The group starts too fast
The solution: If you need a more gradual warmup, fall back, then try to slowly catch up. If the pacer is off, go it alone or run with the next, slower group.
The group is running too slow
The solution: In a marathon, wait until after mile 18 to pass. In a half, wait until mile five. The first miles should feel easy if you've trained properly.
You need to hit the porta potty or take a walk break
The solution: Don't sprint to catch back up; the extra effort will haunt you later. Slowly try to reconnect over two to three miles.
30% of runners say they have raced with a pace group in the past 12 months, reports a runnersworld.com poll.


text: I love my MES 30 but I tend to use blocks of wood that don't fit into the hopper that you slide out, and then when you slide it in it can hit larger blocks. So... I fatigued off the hopper from the plug part. It took about one minute of working it. Now the plug is there to control combustion but nothing hits my blocks. I like to turn them on end so that they combust more slowly.

I have 3 baby squirrels that my neighbor brought me January 17th. They are Healthy and happy babies. Today the same neighbor brought me an even smaller baby than the last 3 that her cat left on her bathroom floor that it drug in. They were about 2 wks old when we got them. This one is darker than they were. Looks like them otherwise. It has a white stomach and is about the size of a AA battery. I am feeding it the pedialyte and switching her over to esbilac. My husband keeps telling me it's a squirrel (knowing I am terrified of mice and rats). But I was pretty sure that squirrel were only born 2 times a year and this is 2 months later than our last baby grays. Either way what can I do? Gotta love it, feed it, and set it free. I am trying so hard not to be fearful of it thinking it is a rat. Not sure how else to know for sure, other than to ask and or wait till the tail fills out or not. Lol.
Thanks for your help.

crunches on an exercise ball...
all I can say is ouch!
They are teh sux0r. I throw 3 sets per week in on my trip home from work by stopping at the apartment gym before heading home.
Do you use a smaller ball and get a big extension to your back, or use a larger one and concentrate on balance & your obliques?
just started today...
big ball 77cm... get a good extension back and whew... hurt way more than bicycle crunches on the floor!
After about 2 weeks for at least one session put a 25 lb disk weight on your chest. Always use the largest ball you can handle. Remember to breathe, don't hold a breath ever. The crunch motion is that, a crunch not a sit up. Don't allow momentum to assist. Use a mirror to make sure you are doing it right. It will make a huge difference and you will get results faster when they are done correctly.
Try doing them on a Bosu
A Bosu works but the exercise ball helps develop the core and balance if you keep your feet together while reclined and thru the motion. I think the Bosu requires more discipline. But thats me.
I love using a Bosu for lots of different exercises but a ball is cheaper if you are doing this at home.
WTH is a Bosu?
hey you are talking to someone who has no core strength ... I'll keep working the ball for now...
hopefully I get moved back to Denver and can get into some yoga with the wife...
Bosu and a caterpillar roll please!
1 Attachment(s)
Here is a picture of a BOSU
oh my therapist had some of those...
after my knee surgery last summer... I did some stabilization stuff on the little ones...
they kinda suck
There are better ways to work those other muscles.
oh I plan on staying on the ball... it is pretty vicious I did them 2 days ago and they are still sore... going to hit em again today...
just make sure whatever ab exercise you do, you are curling your spine. only this action will truly activate your abs. for example, a hanging leg raise works your hip flexors, not your abs. the feeling is mistaken for ab work because the hip flexors run from the top of your thighs, under your abs and connect up onto the spinal column. thus you feel like you worked your lower abs when you really didnt. the solution, reverse crunches: lay on your back with feet up, set up like youre about to do a regular crunch, but you roll your legs toward your abs, making sure not to bend at the hips or knees, but to curl your legs toward your abs.
the only ab exercises i do:
decline bench sit ups (with twist for oblique work as well - make sure you start twisting from the bottom of the movement, not at the top)
ball crunches
reverse crunches
bridges and planks for core stabilization work
and i dont do them all in the same day. works my abs fine...but i also do heavy squats and deadlifts, which apparently work your abs a great deal.
Funny, I like exercice ball crunches better. The hard floor/mat plays havoc with my old bones and back and neck. The ball is kinder in that respect.
I worry about falling off the exercise ball so I avoid it at the gym. I picture lying on it and the ball shooting out from under me. Then I imagine me on the floor and the ball hitting that little old lady who sits on the rowing machine.
How possible is my scenario? I'd like to use one for core strengthening but could do without the imagined embarrasment.
Try doing squats on a busa or sit ups, feet on exersise ball hands on base of busa ball. Both off these will make you sweat buckets, I too prefer crunches on the ball.
feel the burn
If you want a tough ab exercise... do incline crunches holding weight. But I will warn you, you WILL get a gut cramp and you WILL be hanging upside down like a bat (feels that way when you're cramping).
don't you guys think clydes have bigger obstacles to conquer before worrying about crunches on an exercise ball? basically ANY ab exercise will be a step up from your current situation, don't you think? I mean this in the best way possible - go walking and you'll exercise your abs and back and legs, etc. maybe I'm out of line here? I mean crunches on an exercise ball is kinds what you do when you're down to a pretty low body fat percentage right?
I started doing ball crunches because they were voted #2 most effective ab exercises by a major college...
my current situation... before my Dr. shut me down due to a shoulder injury I was at 20 miles per day and up to 30 miles on some rides... plus running 4-5 miles... and riding my mt. bike for fun... plus using my bikes as my only means of transportation (so I was riding 30-40 miles per day)
just because I posted this in the clyde/athena section are you assuming that I am as wide as I am tall? FYI I stand 6'6" and 260# I am by no means a "big fat guy" just so happens even if I were at single digit body fat I will still be a clyde
according to the jist of your post I shouldn't do any type of exercise because I have too high of body fat %... no weight training no crunches no nothing because I am not skinny enough to see the results?
I was under the informed opinion from this cycling thread that core strength is a key component to fitting/correct riding posture I was trying to aid mine by strengthening mine... what I don't have a low enough body fat percentage to ride, as per your post I should walk since I am probably too fat to be on a bike
please tell me what kind of exercises i should be doing since you seem to know exactly what kind of shape i am in...
rumrunn6, you should be banned for making offensive statements... because your post offended me
if everyone who offended another member was banned there'd be no one here. I tried to explain my point of view in that some exercises are extreme and should be for extreme athletes and other more mild excercise would be more appropriate for beginners. so you're not a beginner - OK that's easy enough to explain.
those words you wrote were not my words. I didn't say those insulting things. I'm over 200 myself and am quite fit but you won't find me doing crunches on a ball. it's completely unnecessary since I have a ton of weight to lose.
I'm sorry to have offended you. I didn't mean to.
Are crunches on a ball easier than say crunches on the floor? I currently can't even do one sit-up and I haven't bothered with crunches, but I feel like I should be doing something. Currently I can't even sit up in bed to get up in the morning. I reach a point and there is just too much lower-back pain to do it. I need to roll over on my side, fold over, and stick my legs out to get the momentum to get right-side up on the edge of the bed. Yep, it's that sad. Back pain sucks.
It is more difficult because you have less to stabilize you. That's the point of doing anything with a ball - it is unstable and makes everything more difficult. At a certain point in training we all hope to reach a place where we want the most difficulty and then the most gain.
I too have lower back pain and as much as I train I still have trouble brushing my teeth in the morning, meaning anything involving a "hunch".
Good luck with your fitness plans. Don't give up, keep researching.
I suspect a less aggressive ab exercise on a flat floor would be more beneficial for you. I like one that I forget the name of. It involves a low leg raise combined with ones arms over your head. It's hard to explain. It's a gymnastics floor exercise. I would suggest you see a professional physical therapist and a physician for expert guidance for your personal condition. Doing something too aggressive could be counterproductive, no matter how eager you are to jump ahead.

I have only owned the Pure Evoke 1XT DAB radio for 2 months. The sound quality is superb! I only use the DAB radio in the kitchen, and the fact that it only has mono sound makes no odds to me. I don't feel the need to buy the optional extra speaker to make it stereo sound because it's great as it is.
It's good to see a 2 year guarantee! This shows to me that the manufacturer has faith in their product… Read Full Review

Manager tells Chelsea: I want to become your new boss!
FORMER Chile manager Jorge Sampaoli has told Chelsea: I want to be your boss!
Sampaoli quit as Chile's coach last month despite leading the country to their first ever Copa America title in 2015.
And he's now itching for a switch to European football, reports claim.
The Evening Standard claim Sampaoli has told Chelsea he wants the job - and the club have put him on their managerial shortlist.
Italy chief Antonio Conte is understood to be the current frontrunner for the job, but Massimiliano Allegri, Mauricio Pochettino and Diego Simeone are also in the running.
Argentine Sampaoli represents the biggest gamble of the trio having never worked in Europe.
He spent four years in charge of Chile after replacing Marcelo Biesla in the top job.

Walter Pincus / The Washington Post
Can something positive come out of the concern over government intelligence operations, the leaks exposing them and the investigations of the leakers?
Pfc. Bradley Manning is in custody awaiting sentencing, and Edward Snowden, a former contract worker at the National Security Agency, has been indicted but avoided arrest.
Former State Department arms expert Stephen Kim, indicted for allegedly leaking secrets about North Korea to Fox correspondent James Rosen, is involved in pre-trial negotiations. And the FBI is still trying to identify the person or persons who gave information to the Associated Press about the CIA's clandestine operation that infiltrated al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula's bombing operations.
Those who allegedly broke the law should be handled through the judicial system. But in the wake of these four incidents, perhaps it's time to pause and separate fact from fiction, and see how we can remedy a problem we have: Every leak of national security shouldn't require invoking the Espionage Act of 1917, which, at its extreme, calls for life imprisonment or the death penalty.
We need a separate law. It would be used when the leaker's intent is not to harm the U.S. or aid a foreign nation or entity.
Easier said than done. Remember, criminal laws are written as much to deter actions as they are to punish offenders.
There already are other laws that can cover leakers. Snowden, for example, in addition to being charged under the Espionage Act, faces charges under a statute that punishes individuals for theft or conversion of government property for their own use or that of others. It does not necessarily involve disclosing classified information, and it carries the possibility of imprisonment for up to 10 years. Under the Espionage Act, the penalty could be death in wartime circumstances.
Leakers, however, act with varied intentions, and the law should consider that. The leaker could be a whistleblower, for example, frustrated after trying within the system to expose wrongdoing or waste and then turns to the news media.
But he or she also could be an individual with less noble motives: They simply disagree with an administration's policies and want to promote their own views with cherry-picked intelligence; they are temporarily angry at their job situation; or they just want to gain favor with the media.
Another problem is how to determine whether the leaked information would harm national security.
The last nearly successful legislative attempt to address leaks was in 2000, when Congress passed the Classified Information Protection Act of 2001. It made it a crime for a government employee or others authorized to have access to classified information to "knowingly and willfully" disclose such information to someone known not to be authorized to receive it.
It did not require that the government prove the disclosure damaged national security. The measure defined "classified information" as material "clearly marked or represented ... by appropriate authorities ... as requiring protection against unauthorized disclosure for reasons of national security."
The major weakness in that measure was the universal agreement that the present U.S. system of classification is a failure. Too many people have the authority to classify documents and there is no penalty to the bureaucrat who overclassifies one.
Nonetheless, Congress went ahead and attached this legislation to the fiscal 2001 Intelligence Authorization Act that went to President Clinton.
On Nov. 4, 2000, Clinton vetoed the bill, warning Congress about the difficulty for anyone seeking to legislate to cut off leaks. His reasoning rings true today.
Clinton said his obligation as president was "to protect not only our government's vital information from improper disclosure, but also to protect the rights of citizens to receive the information necessary for democracy to work." He noted, as have others, "Furthering these two goals requires a careful balancing."
In 1904, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his dissent in the Northern Securities case, wrote: "Great cases, like hard cases, make bad law." But he went on to say they were deemed great cases not because they shape future law, "but because of some accident of immediate overwhelming interest which appeals to the feelings and distorts the judgment."

Seeking to be Faithful to God, Gifts, and Calling
Short Introduction
We are students and practitioners. We believe leadership is integrity with our values and gifts. Our values include taking the time to understand the needs of others and meeting those needs. Therefore, our "Golden Circle" looks like this:
Our WHY is human flourishing, or shalom. We wish all people to experience holistic well-being.
Our HOW is our mission: guiding students, drawn to lead and serve, to discern, develop, and deploy their gifts and calling through experiential learning and mentoring.
Our WHAT, the way we do experiential learning and mentoring, then, is CFL Consulting, CFL Incubator (HEI), and CFL Integrated Learning. In the former two, we hire students and put them on team representing multiple majors to develop and validate ideas. We also hire experienced practitioners with proven track records to coach and mentor our students while they work on those teams solving problems for themselves and others.
The result is transforming experiences toward holistic well-being.
Seeking to be Faithful to God, Gifts, and Calling
Long Introduction
God created us to work and to do good works. To work and do good works requires discerning, developing, and deploying our gifts and calling so that in whatever we do, we are light and salt in the world. That means we are to reclaim the very goodness of the right relationships God gave us when he created the world. Those are work experiences that matter!
That Matter.
Our WHY is to help students holistically flourish. Flourishing, work, and college experiences are related: people who are engaged in a career are 4.6x more likely to experience well-being, and people who engage their strengths are 6.0x more likely to be engaged in a career. (See below.)
(See Fathom.)
Our HOW is our mission: to guide students, drawn to lead and serve, to discern, develop, and deploy their gifts and calling through experiential learning and mentoring. We uniquely combine action learning with coaching and mentoring focused on knowing as we are known and what is in the long-term best interest of our students.
We complement Hope's high quality liberal arts-oriented academic program. We are students and practitioners. We believe leadership is integrity with our values and gifts. Our values include taking the time to understand the needs of others and meeting those needs.
(See Kingdom Paradigm.)
We strive to be a revolving door between the classroom and the community. We go out and the community comes in.
We begin with who we are, who we know, and what we collectively know.
(See Songs Against Slavery.)
We do things to be light and salt. The hope of shalom is fundamental to our faith. This motivates us to be world-changers one relationship at a time. We don't wish this to be a contract, but a covenant.
We start learning when we try to solve relevant real-world problems, instead of beginning with memorizing general principles and theories and abstract concepts.
(See Ring Cam.)
We are motivated by a holy discontent with higher education, with its emphasis on separation of mind and soul . We seek to be light and salt.
We know that without vision the people perish (Proverbs 29:18). Our vision is to become an authentic community of people who help others live holistically fulfilling lives of leadership and service. We want everyone to experience the meaning that comes from discerning, developing, and deploying our gifts in response to a holy discontent.
There are few experiences as motivating as seeing a person excited about who they are and what they can do.
How do we know it is happening? When people — students, alums, clients, coaches, staff — seek to join our community. We pay in meaning.
What is our goal? Our wish for students is that they all have an experiential learning and mentoring experience in the first half of their college experience.
We provide students with experiences that connect ideas across disciplines abut also faith and life and work and life.
We seek to cross social-economic boundaries.
Inter-generational — coaching and mentoring!
We provide students with coaches and mentors to help them discern, develop, and deploy their gifts and calling while they are working in teams and cohorts. Why?
"The odds of thriving in all areas of well-being are 4.6x higher if [we are] engaged at work" (Gallup).
The odds of being engaged at work are…
2.6x higher if college prepared students well for life outside of college
2.2x higher if students had mentors who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams
2.0x higher if at least one professor made them excited about learning
1.9x higher if professors cared about students as people
1.8x higher if students worked on a project that took a semester or more to complete (Gallup)
We offer students from all academic programs opportunities to work on teams reflecting a variety of majors to help people solve relevant problems and launch ideas.
Student Led, Practitioner Coached
"Preparation for leadership does not come from books. Books sometimes give you an insight or an outline, but real preparation consists of hard work and wandering in the desert, much feedback, much forgiveness, and the yeast of failure" (Max DePree in Leadership Jazz).
See our CFL Consulting and CFL Incubator coaches.
Work Experiences.
Our WHAT is our work experiences. That matter.
CFL Consulting — Helping students help organizations. Students work with peers, coaches, and subject matter experts on project teams to help clients develop their ideas. To start, students enroll in "boot camp." To prepare, students enroll in LDRS 291: Becoming an Influential Leader and LDRS 292: The Trusted Adviser. One result of CFL Consulting is that employers invest in our alums.
CFL Incubator (HEI) — Helping students help themselves. Students work with a cohort of entrepreneurial students, coaches and advisors to test and develop their own ideas. "Boot camps" and 3×3 competitions are a way to start; to be eligible for HEI, students must enroll in LDRS 231: Leading the Start-Up Process. We specialize in Customer Discovery, with with good results.
CFL Integrated Learning — Experiential coursework and mentoring for all interested students to help them discern their gifts and calling.

I had an account for 3 years with them did 1000s of transactions with them. Then suddenly they closed my account told me my one of my products from the 5000! violated their TOS which it didn't.
I politely was inquiring why it happened and they told me if I continue to ask questions they will keep my money that was on hold with them. It took 5 months before they sent me money after ducting some made up fees plus others.
Funny thing is that still to this day I find literally 1000s of websites selling the same products with 2checkout I guess they don't know whats coming for them.

Album Rating: 4.0Great review, truly, although I don't agree with some of your points. Specifically, what you said about the title track being filler, or 'Lateralus' and 'Ticks' being rip-offs of 'The Grudge.'
I commend you on backing up your points, most of which are very sensible and logical.
I really like this review.
Album Rating: 5.0Just a separate thing: What's with all of the Tool hate lately? First, Med's 10,000 days review, and now this. At least everbody seems to agree that Aenima kicks a*s.This Message Edited On 05.24.06
Album Rating: 2.0I don't like AEnima. =)
I kind of really dislike Tool. This album only got a 4 because of the basslines other then that I think its really boring. Good review.
I don't like any Tool albums.This Message Edited On 05.24.06
Album Rating: 5.0Damn! Do you like anything Tool's put out?
Album Rating: 2.0Not especially.
Album Rating: 4.0It is just a little strange that you did this right after MED's excellent 10,000 days review ...
Album Rating: 2.0I didn't even like this when I was supposed to (2002, age 15).This Message Edited On 05.24.06
Album Rating: 2.0I made a comment about him, about that.
Oh well.
Album Rating: 5.0Iluvatar, you rated 10,000 days higher than this. Do you really like it more?
Album Rating: 4.0I didn't mean anything necessarily negative by that comment, by the way, good review.
Album Rating: 4.5Brain Dead, you didn't read his argument that he had against me, he explained that he liked 10,000 Days more and didn't like all of Tool's earlier stuff as much as he liked 10,000 Days. Just thought you should know
Album Rating: 3.5I'm a pretty big Tool fan, but this album really did bore me. Undertow, Aenima, and 10,000 days were all great.
I'm not saying this album is bad, but probably their worst (I've never heard Opiate or Salival).
Album Rating: 5.0All right, thanks for the explanation.
Album Rating: 4.5no problem
Album Rating: 3.5Nice review. I love this album however.
Album Rating: 4.5I like this album alot. But our points were very good about the fact that they over do things ALOT, and that they could have made some of the tracks better by spliting them in half. Your right about Adam Jones to. Good Review.
Album Rating: 5.0Nice review, but I'm wondering something...
How can you call this album pretentious and overblown when you gave Frances the Mute a 5? I love that album as well, but to give that a 5 and call Lateralus overblown is downright odd. Minutes of noise, lyrics that try almost too hard to be "prog" and huge instrumental breaks are all on FTM.
Like you said, I think you've just added some venom because of the whole "greatest album of all time" thing.
I'm surprised no fanboys have negged this yet...
Album Rating: 4.0They can't neg it cause there's really no negging it, the points are mostly (dominantly) true and spot-on.

Fla. deputy killed in crash while driving to work
The patrol car was struck by a vehicle speeding the wrong way on the highway
Duty Death: Deputy James Louis Anderson J - [St. Johns County, Florida]
ST. JOHN'S COUNTY, Fla. — A St. Johns County deputy on his way to work died this morning after his patrol car was struck by a vehicle going the wrong way on Florida 9A in Jacksonville, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The St. Johns Sheriff's Office identified the deputy as James Louis Anderson Jr., 44, a retired Marine and father of four from Jacksonville. The other driver was Kris Elliott Caudilla, 26, of Jacksonville. He remains in serious condition at Shands Jacksonville hospital.
Investigators are still trying to determine how the accident occurred. An off-duty Jacksonville Beach police officer driving in his personal car said Caudilla's SUV passed him going the wrong way at a high rate of speed moments before the crash. The officer swerved off the road and reported the incident to the Florida Highway Patrol. He did not know about the accident until later.

Recently, following his performing during Colt 45's private event at Centerstage here in Atlanta, HHS1987 caught up with Atlanta hip-hop artist Scotty ATL to discuss his career, touring with Colt 45, his upcoming project "Spaghetti Junction" and more. Scotty ATL has been on the verge of stardom in the South for sometime and it appears that his time is now. Scotty opened up about his journey from his beginning to now. Scotty ATL's highly anticipated project "Spaghetti Junction" is on the way so we had to find out just what fans can expect from Scotty ATL's upcoming project. Scotty ensured us that the project will certainly be worth the wait. Great things often take time and Scotty's new project could be evidence of that theory. Scotty also spoke to us about his most recent project "OTR2SJ" presented by Scion AV. With the streets awaiting "Spaghetti Junction", Scotty teamed up with Scion AV to release a six track project to hold fans over. "OTR2SJ" aka "On The Road to Spaghetti Junction" is a project featuring Rich The Kid, Killer Mike and more.

I think this is an outstanding template but I don't understand the heavy use of Ajax. This isn't a dynamic template template so why do you need Ajax for most of the pages?? Doesn't this just slow down the template? (I'll probably still buy the template because I do like it a lot, but I am concerned) Thanks! Paul
Hi techimprint,
Thank you very much for your appreciation.
I use Ajax so you won't have to see menu, or beginning animation every time you go on another page. And actually using Ajax is much faster than refreshing the page.
Thanks for the very quick response. Now I get to have some fun by purchasing your template and working with it. Amazing sales in just over a month!
Hi techimprint,
If you have any question/s after you purchase it send us an email from our profile page and i will try to help.
I was wondering if i could add the Our Project menu in the Portfolio page in order to filter the work by category.
I already put the menu there it is not hovering and actually not working.
Would be wonderful if anyone could help me.
Thank very much.
Hi lucasbrandao,
You can't do that without editing the JS. This would require custom work.
so how can we do this. I tried to put all of my knowledge, but it was enough.
I already have the menu, however I think I am missing something because it is no working at all.
hi there !
does the template support accented characters like é è à… ?
Hi evve,
Yes it does.
hi again … and thx for fast answer !
one more question : the online sample doesnt seems to work on galaxy S and galaxy S II phones … the dropdown menu is not working at all … not reactive …
sad because i was thinking i finally found the perfect template …
Hi evve,
Works on Samsung Galaxy S I and II with standard ROM 's If you are using custom ROM 's and not official ones than some of them are missing lots of features.
No software is perfect, results neither the template is perfect. But the most important thing is that i am trying to improve it and make updates.
For any other questions please use the profile page to send an email.
Hi Mediacreed ! Good Job ! I know that you're working on a WP version. So I just want to know if you're started ?
Hi DocteurPepper,
Thank you for your appreciation!
If i am started? Started on what? Could you please elaborate?
Ok, sorry for that.
Are you working on a Synergy WP version ? At now ? And if you know when it will be finished ?
That's all
Hi DocteurPepper,
Yes. Already working on Synergy WP version. I can't give you the exact date. You can follow me on twitter and you will be announced when i release it.
Hi mediacreed,
I was wondering if it's possible to load an other page at the end of the slideshow on home layout 1, I want to see the whole home layout 1 slide auto one time and then it loads the home layout 2 ?!
Hi blouh,
This can be done only as a custom work. If you want the custom work than send me an email from the profile page.
I bought this one and i do like it except there are some big problems with the mobile version on my iPhone (iOS 6.0.1, iPhone 5):
1) the pricing table does only show 2 columns and cannot even be scrolled horizontal 2) the image galleries are only partly visible 3) you cannot scroll down to the text in "Full Width Text + Video" 4) cannot scroll down in "Full Width Text + Image" 5) contact form & google maps broken on mobile devices 6) guess I could find even more problems
I want you to fix this please a.s.a.p. or I will reclaim this item to envato.
Hi christiancraik,
On the item description page. On update version 1.3.0 there is the following:
Added: Custom Scrolling(beta version, it will be improved on future updates) on touch devices( tested on old Android 2.3 version, also on iPhone iOS4)
This being said, before buying the template you had the opportunity to test it and make a decision if you are buying it or not.
If you use threats like you did, then please do reclaim the item to envato.
I will not tolerate aggressive attitudes at all. Even google or apple have issues with their products but i don't think you tell them ASAP .
Hi mediacreed,
I tested the theme on Mac and on my iPhone but since I bought version 1.2.X there were no scrolling issues and for the other problems: I simply trusted that a responsive template would be tested and working correctly.
What you are calling "aggressive attitudes" may be because I am a little disapointed I cannot use a otherwise great theme because of stupid mobile problems :-/
Concerning ASAP : this wasn't meant to be aggressive – I thought you would not know about the issues and would want to get rid of them asap as well…
Since English is not my first language, I am sorry if my comment seemed aggressive or impolite – it's just not so easy to express exactly what you mean in another language
So I ask friendly: are you aware of the problems mentioned (beside scrolling) and going to fix them somewhen near future?
Best regards, Christian
Hi christiancraik,
Now this humanly attitude is what i like thumbs up for this reply
Now back to business, YES i am aware that the change i made in 1.3.0 added some issues. ( i can give you 1.2.0, but that version will not work on old Android like 2.3 version, and also has issues on iOS4, 5 and 6 ).
My intentions are to improve the template as time goes. This means fixing issues or adding new features.
This being said next update is next week, and will include some of the things you mentioned ( i hope i can cover all, but i will not promise ).
I can promise you one thing: that with a kind attitude i will try to respond promptly to feedback and also will try to improve the template
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi mediacreed,
Thank you for your reply
Let me know if I can help you with screens of the site on iPhone 5/4/iPad 3rd gen. Don't know if this could be helpful for you..
I think I will use this template (because I really like it) and just ignore the mobile version until then. Or maybe I can find a temporary fix
One more question concerning the updates: how do I update my site once it runs personalized on an earlier version?
Best regards, Chris
Hi christiancraik,
First and the most important is you have to create a backup of your current running version.( including the modifications you did )
After that you follow the update PDF file that is provided with the new version and follow the instructions. If you didn't modified the JS( except the basic theme color, url setting ) than you just to follow the indications on how to add the new features.
Hi christiancraik,
Updated the template to version 1.3.1. Please read the Item Description for the change log.
Dear buyers or possible future buyers,
Just wanted to let you know that my efforts go into improving this template as time passes by. Yes it might not be perfect, but what is? Every application in this world has flaws and it is a normal thing since they are made by us( humans ).
I can promise you one thing: that with a kind attitude i will try to respond promptly to feedback and also will try to improve the template
Thank you for your understanding!
Will be this template available for wordpress ? I'm very interested ! Great template !
Hi psico88,
Thank you for your appreciation!
Yes there will be a WordPress version, i am working on it as we speak. I can't give an exact date but you can follow me on twitter and you will be announced.
Thank you for the very quick response!
ahh Ok good luck with that theme Have a good day, or good night ^^
Regards, B.
Hi psico88,
You're welcome Go go sales!
Hi Mediacreed,
I've just bought synergy. It's awesome
However, I am concerned in one thing. Do you have any experience with SEO for webpage with ajax loading? SEO is pretty important for me and I am not sure if ajax loading could be disadvantage or not. Thank you and have a nice day.
Hi Gregor424,
Thank you for your appreciation.
Send me an email from the profile page and we can discuss about SEO there.
Hi mediacreed,
Amazing theme you have here and seriously thinking of buying it. The responsiveness however is vital for my next project and as christiancraik has pointed out, there are some known issues at the moment. Do you have any updates planned in the coming days to fix these issues? If so, i'll wait for the update, if not i'll have to move on to something else.
Please let me know because i'm eager to buy
Thank you for your answer
Hi Rypens,
Thank you for your appreciation.
I will do an update next week. I will fix the issues but don't know if i will cover all in version 1.3.1, the next updates should.
Alright, thanks for the fast response. HTML /CSS issues i can sort out for myself, that's not a problem. I just need to make sure the mobile version will be ok on iPad/iPhone. I have to start designing some mockups later this week so i need to know which theme i'm going for . If you could let me know which updates you'll do and when they will be out, that would be great.
Hi Rypens,
So the update will cover: image galleries part that is not visible, fullwidth both image/video scrolling, an issue with sound on mobile( i will not support sound on mobile ), some home 2 CSS related alignments, don't know for sure if contact scrolling would be fixable so quick ( this is due to the fact that there are multiple touches involved, using map and scrolling, and honestly the map gets over the scrolling even in normal conditions or normal HTML templates, and i have to come up with a solution therefore this may take some time and also testing)
The things presented above will be covered in the update for next week.
Hi, Thank you for such an Amazing Template, but I am getting some problem installing this template
1. If i change var customPageStartURL = "#portfolio.html"; to some other page its not working
2. If I say var customPageStart = false; Then also its giving me problems, It should load Index.html but not loading
3. Its Only loads portfolio.html properly
- after opening it in begining it can loads other pages normally
4. If I dont want to use # in my Url due to some SEO issues how to do that.
5. documentation – 2.1 is not given with downloads Please reply me.. thanks
Hi ashikali,
Thank you for your appreciation!
Please read the documentation. Open the documentation PDF file and read from page 11 and 12 ( Setting up a custom start page ) if you are modifying the JS.
If you are using customPageStart = false then you have to modify the menu HTML tags. Read page 13 for that.
You can't remove the '#' this is an AJAX template there other ways for improving the SEO .
For other questions please use the profile page to send an email.

Copenhagen, Denmark (SPX) Nov 15, 2006
Frenzied star-making in the Milky Way Galaxy starting about 2400 million years ago had extraordinary effects on life on Earth. Harvests of bacteria in the sea soared and crashed in a succession of booms and busts, with an instability not seen before or since. According to new results published by Dr. Henrik Svensmark of the Danish National Space Center in the journal Astronomische Nachrichten, the variability in the productivity of life is closely linked to the cosmic rays, the atomic bullets that rain down on the Earth from exploded stars.
They were most intense during a baby boom of stars, many of which blew up.
'The odds are 10,000 to 1 against this unexpected link between cosmic rays and the variable state of the biosphere being just a coincidence, and it offers a new perspective on the connection between the evolution of the Milky Way and the entire history of life over the last 4 billion years,' Dr Svensmark comments.
Dr Svensmark looked at the long record of life's bounty given by counts of heavy carbon atoms, carbon-13, in sedimentary rocks. When bacteria and algae in the ocean grow by taking in carbon dioxide, they prefer the ordinary carbon-12 atoms. As a result, the sea becomes enriched in carbon-13, which is acceptable to sea creatures building their carbonate shells. Variations in carbon-13 therefore record how much photosynthetic growth was in progress when the shell-makers were alive - in other words, how productive the biosphere was at that time.
To his surprise, Dr Svensmark noticed that the biggest fluctuations in productivity coincided with high star formation rates and cool periods in Earth's climate. Conversely, during a billion years when star formation was slow, cosmic rays were less intense and Earth's climate was warmer, the biosphere was almost unchanging in its productivity.
This reveals a link more subtle than any straightforward idea of, say, a warm climate being life-friendly or a cold climate deadly. The record shows that in all icy epochs the biosphere kept lurching between exceptionally low and exceptionally high productivity. The suggested reason is that, although ice is unfriendly to life, winds are stronger when the world is cold. By stirring the oceans, they improve the supply of nutrients in the surface waters so much that productivity can be higher than in a warm climate. And this, in effect, enlarges the fluctuations in biological productivity.
Most likely, the variations in cosmic radiation affected biological productivity through their influence on cloud formation. Hence, the stellar baby boom 2.4 billion years ago, which resulted in an extraordinarily large number of supernova explosions, had a chilling effect on Earth probably by increasing the cloud cover.
This is one of a number of new perspectives on climate change arising from the discovery that cosmic rays promote the formation of clouds, which have a cooling effect on the surface temperature of Earth. Recent experiments on how the cosmic rays influence cloud formation were reported in DNSC press release 3 October 2006.

Elephants Herd Electrocuted In India
Guwahati (AFP) India, Nov 13, 2006
Three wild elephants were electrocuted after apparently wandering into a high-tension electricity line in India's northeastern state of Assam, a wildlife official said Monday. The three were part of a herd of about 35 elephants that had strayed into the Behali tea plantation, about 230 kilometres (142 miles) north of Guwahati, Assam's main city.

Did you hear the interview on Morning Edition with Susan Thill of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin?
We talked to her yesterday and she told us about how she and her husband Al were attacked by carjackers last week while driving in northern Mexico.
Al Thill was shot, then treated in a Mexican hospital. The two of them are safely back home now, but the attackers made off with their car and everything in it. And that same day, another American -- a school board member from California -- was shot and killed in the very same Mexican State of Durango.
That area of Mexico is the subject of a State Department Travel Alert. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Ted Coley, the managing director of Overseas Citizens Services at the State Department.

Bold colors and pretty designs create a cheerful study area. While you work, charge your phone in a bright phone holder with a fun watermelon or rainbow design. Pin photos and important notes to a colorful pinboard by your desk. When not at your desk, a lapdesk provides comfy cushioning and internal storage while you scribble in your notepad or study using a laptop.
A lapdesk also works for beauty products. Apply nail polish as you lean on the surface and store all your manicure and pedicure tools inside. The spacious compartments hold everything you need and the patterned base is stylish. Personalize your lapdesk with monogrammed initials.
Organize your jewelry too in boxes filled with compartments and drawers. This keeps your precious pieces safe and split into different sets that are easy to find when you're in a hurry. Alternatively, show off your jewelry on a decorative stand or in a clear display box. Make a wall feature out of your necklaces and bracelets when you hang them from a pretty rattan wall jewelry holder.
For larger items that need storing but that you don't need to hide away, wicker baskets are durable solutions that add a natural vibe to your bedroom. Alternatively, storage bins fit in cubbies, stack neatly on shelves and slide discreetly under your bed.
Your pooch deserves beautiful accessories too, and a soft cushioned bed lets them know how much you love them. Go for a wicker base with plush pillow or watch them curl up in a comfy canvas bed. A luxuriously soft faux fur bed is hard to resist while a heart pet bed lets your best friend know their big eyes and wagging tail tug at your heart strings.

Already reminded of their diminished potential atop the mound, the Padres embarked Tuesday evening through a creeping haze of uncertainty. Earlier in the day, news of Josh Johnson's imminent visit to orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews amplified concerns of another lost season for the former All-Star. Then, closer to first pitch, the Padres scratched Everth Cabrera, their most recent All-Star, with right knee soreness.
It is an affliction currently shared by Chase Headley. While the third baseman continues to play through some discomfort, the left side of the infield provides cause for concern, given that both starters are now at less than full strength.
Minus Cabrera for the first time this season, the Padres fell, 3-2, to the Rockies. Faced with that inconvenience last season, they went 28-39. They were 48-47 with Cabrera topping the lineup, the shortstop proving most valuable afield and at the plate.
Cabrera hurt his right knee in the third inning of Monday's win over the Rockies. It happened as he made a diving snag of Carlos Gonzalez's liner, then committed a throwing error trying to double off Charlie Blackmon.
"When he came up to throw the ball, he planted from his knees and he was in an awkward position," Padres manager Bud Black said. "When he threw the ball, he sort of twisted his knee."
Cabrera, who is considered day-to-day, sat at his locker late Tuesday, his right knee wrapped in ice. He said the soreness arose overnight.
"Last night, I was worried a little bit, but it's early in the season. I don't want to force it too much," said Cabrera, who finished Monday's game 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored. "The doctor said not to be too worried about it, just see how I feel tomorrow."
Tuesday, as the Padres stranded six runners and Headley went hitless for the third consecutive game, one wondered what a healthy Cabrera could have done. He is batting a team-high .340.
Through 14 games this year, the Padres have won six times. They have relied on their pitching and the kind of timely offense that dissipated after the first inning Tuesday.
Against Rockies starter Juan Nicasio, they produced four consecutive hits, quite literally, right off the bat.
Will Venable, moving from seventh to first in the order, cranked a leadoff double. Alexi Amarista, making the start at shortstop, rolled an infield single up the middle. Seth Smith laced an RBI single to right-center. Jedd Gyorko threaded another run-scoring single through the right side.
Nicasio avoided having to throw a 32nd pitch when Yonder Alonso lined into an inning-ending double play.
"We came out with a bang, swung the bats great," Black said. "From there, Nicasio sort of settled in. He found some location with his fastball, pitched with a little bit more confidence and mixed in some change-ups and sliders."
Following a perfect first inning, Padres left-hander Robbie Erlin thrice allowed singles in the second, D.J. LeMahieu's knock driving in Troy Tulowitzki. In the fourth, Tulowitzki doubled, advanced to third on Wilin Rosario's single and trotted home for the tying score on Nolan Arenado's sacrifice fly.
Erlin, coming off six innings of one-run ball in Cleveland, matched his career high with seven strikeouts in 4 ⅔ innings. He gave up three runs on six hits and a walk.
"The second time through the lineup, I could kind of feel myself trying to do too much, overthrowing," said Erlin, who made the rotation out of camp after Johnson injured his forearm. "That's when I lose command of the ball. My game is definitely commanding it, and I got hurt with it tonight."
"The middle of the order got him," Black said. "He just had to work awful hard to get through that game, and his command wasn't quite as sharp as it was last start. But it's the second start of the season. Hopefully he'll make many more."
With two outs in the fifth, Black replaced Erlin with Tim Stauffer, playing the matchup. But the right-hander walked Tulowitzki to load the bases, whereupon Rosario smacked an infield chopper that glanced off Stauffer's glove and dribbled toward second base. A charging Amarista could not make the bare-handed scoop-and-throw as the Rockies' third run crossed the plate.
In the bottom of the inning, Venable singled with two outs, collecting the Padres' first hit since the opening frame. He would be summarily erased, thrown out attempting to steal second, though television replays appeared to show the opposite. Black, who successfully enacted the Padres' first challenge Sunday, immediately jogged out of the dugout. But after a brief deliberation with second-base umpire Laz Diaz, the skipper opted not to call for a review.
Meantime, Phil Plantier was ejected as the inning ended. The Padres hitting coach had argued a called strike on a high fastball to the 5-foot-5 Amarista, who had drawn a 3-and-0 count.
Nick Hundley's seventh-inning drive died just short of the left-field wall. Moments later, Amarista came to the plate again, now with two outs and the bases full. He swung at the first pitch, a 91 mph two-seamer from Boone Logan, meekly redirecting it for a force-out.
Should Cabrera's soreness linger, the Padres are down one potential replacement. Triple-A El Paso infielder Ryan Jackson, whose best position is shortstop, was placed on the seven-day disabled list April 8 with a right wrist sprain. Jackson will have the wrist, which has bothered him since spring training, examined in San Diego this week.

Vincent Gray vetoes so-called Walmart bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WJLA) - District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray vetoed Thursday the bill that would have forced large retailers like Walmart to pay what the city called a living wage.
Calling the Large Retailer Accountability Act "woefully inadequate and flawed," Gray's veto send the bill back to the D.C. Council for a possible override.
The bill passed by an 8-5 vote on July 10. The council would need nine votes to reverse Gray's veto.
"I am vetoing this legislation precisely because I believe in providing a living wage to as many District residents as possible - and this bill is not a true living-wage measure," Mayor Gray said in a statement.
The Large Retailer Accountability Act would have forced Walmart and other big box stores that operate in the district to pay a minimum wage of $12.50 per hour. That's $4.25 higher than the city's blanket minimum wage.
Instead, the mayor expressed his interest in raising the city's minimum wage citywide in an equitable fashion.
In his statement, Gray called the legislation a "job killer" that would only affect a small fraction of the city's workforce. He also said that the passage of the bill would not guarantee that the new, higher-paying jobs would even go to D.C. residents.
"Nearly every large retailer now considering opening a store in the District has indicated that they will not come here or expand here if this bill becomes law," Gray said. "People would begin to see that the District of Columbia is not a good place to do business."
Out in the District, ABC 7 came across more negative reactions to the veto than not by those disappointed by the mayor's decision.
"He did? Aww, that's bad -- I think that's bad," said D.C. resident Cary Churches.
"I'm angry and I'm disgusted," says Cynthia Murray. "One worker does two or three peoples job, and it's happening in every store across the country!" Murray has worked for 13 years at the Laurel location, and says the low pay requires her to make sacrifices every day.
For instance, dinner is out of the question, despite Murray working 40 hours a week at the fitting room. She was hopeful that signing the bill into law in D.C. would set the groundwork to raise wages in the stores surrounding the District.
But now, Murray says the veto just doomed salaries across the region:
"You get a 40-cent raise a year -- what do you think that's going to do for anybody?"
D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson also expressed disappointment in Gray after he vetoed the bill, saying that the District isn't interested in attracting low-paying jobs.
While the legislation targeted a broad number of stores, the biggest resistance came from Walmart, which has been building and is planning to build six of the chain's stores in the District.
Just before the D.C. Council was to vote on the bill, though, the company said it would cancel three of their planned Washington locations if Mayor Gray signed the bill.
In a statement released just after Gray's veto, Walmart officials celebrated the mayor's decision as the scuttling of "discriminatory legislation."
"We look forward to finishing the work we started in the city almost three years ago: a plan to bring more jobs, shopping options and fresh food choices to Washington, D.C. residents," Walmart officials said.
A Walmart official told NewsChannel 8's Bruce DePuyt that the company's plan to build all six stores is back on, assuming that there's no override of the mayor's veto.
On the other hand, members of Respect DC, a grassroots organization which advocated for the signing of the LRAA, decried Gray's decision as disappointing and angering.
It is widely suggested that Councilman Tommy Wells was the swing vote that could have blocked the veto. He tells ABC 7's Sam Ford why he sided with the mayor:
"I have to do what I think is best for the whole city," he said.

This is a developing story. More to come.

Christian Bethancourt stepped to the plate at Turner Field on Sept. 29 in the eighth inning of a meaningless game. The Braves had already wrapped up the NL East and were beating the Phillies 10-5. Tyler Cloyd was getting in some work on the mound for Philadelphia.
Aside from a few Braves fans who understood Bethancourt's potential, there was little applause. Bethancourt, who hadn't seen live pitching in nearly a month, quickly struck out in his first major league plate appearance.
It almost surely won't be the last time Atlanta sees Bethancourt, but the question is when.
Bethancourt is a former top 100 prospect who has fought to stay above water against more advanced competition throughout his time in the minors. Three times he has repeated a level to improve upon his numbers, yet he remains just 22 years old. And yet, he is 22 years old.
After a much-improved 2013 at Double-A Mississippi that saw him hit .277/.305/.436 with 21 doubles, 12 home runs and 11 stolen bases, Bethancourt has reached the point where the Braves have to consider when is the best time to see if he sinks or swims in the majors.
This is boosted by the fact that Brian McCann is likely to leave Atlanta for a bigger contract, and Evan Gattis remains the only in-house option as a starting catcher.
Bethancourt took a step forward in his second trip to Double-A, and a big reason is a swing that has smoothed out some over the past couple years. The 6-2 catcher is known as a defense-first receiver, as he displays an elite arm with good footwork at release; he also has improved upon his receiving skills, and I've been told his footwork on blocking balls isn't as lackadaisical now as I saw in the lower minors.
But Bethancourt's bat has improved to the point where he held his own at Double-A, which is a big test for minor league hitters. He showed a little more loft in his swing and didn't push the bat through the zone quite as much, using a better load and more wrist action. It hasn't been a complete fix; Bethancourt still pushes the bat some, and I noticed he tends to cheat inside more than he should. He also leaves his body in the box a touch more against right-handed pitchers than left-handers, an indication that he doesn't feel as comfortable against righties. But if you saw Bethancourt in the lower levels compared to his time this season, the progress is evident.
If Bethancourt's time in the minors is any indication, and it tends to be for players, the adjustment period in the majors could be long and a bit weary. But remember he is a defense-first catcher who has the potential to be among the best at the position at the highest level. The bat will always come second, and his defense should be enough to carry him until adjustments are made.
Considering an improved swing and the potential for pop at the big league level, an offensive season similar to Andrelton Simmons this year could be expected for Bethancourt once he adjusts. In fact, the overall skill set of the two aren't that different, and we know Simmons totaled 4.7 fWAR in 2013.
Baseball Prospectus' Jason Cole wrote a report on Bethancourt this season that included this line: "The offensive profile itself isn't particularly exciting––I'm thinking .240 with low on-base and 10-15 home runs––but when coupled with a plus glove and elite arm, it should be enough to make Bethancourt an everyday player."
So when is it time to give him a shot in Atlanta? Some point in 2014 - maybe even opening day - shouldn't be counted out, and full time by 2015 should be expected. One word of advice: Give him time to adjust.

THE WITHDRAWAL of Ogilvy Johannesburg's Silver Clio award for a History Channel advertisement last week opened the door for Grey Group to take over top spot at the first big global awards event of the year. Losing the silver - its second - cost Ogilvy 350 creative points on our AdReview scale and relegated it to second.
But Grey probably deserves the leadership anyway, as its tally was headed by a Gold. Net#work BBDO won the other South African Gold Clio.
Compared with last year, South Africa earned fewer awards: but they included an extra gold and they were shared among 15 agencies, instead of 12.
Ogilvy's withdrawn Clio came after it was revealed an ad for DStv's History Channel was run without client approval, thus creating suspicions of a scam. (Ads are considered scams when they're created purely to win awards and are often produced without clients approving and paying for their flighting.)
Ogilvy Johannesburg immediately pulled the ad out of the competition and MD Julian Ogilvy is adamant it was an innocent mistake. "We're absolutely against scam ads and would never knowingly enter one into a competition," he says.
Ogilvy acknowledge the full and proper approval process wasn't followed. "Owing to the sensitivities regarding this matter we've taken all commercially reasonable steps to ensure the material is removed from publication. The campaign has also been withdrawn from Clios 2009."
MultiChoice marketing and sales director Graham Pfuhl, obviously eager to put the matter to rest, says: "I believe Ogilvy has always had MultiChoice's interests at heart and certainly still does."

Royals add outfield depth with Chavez signing
The Kansas City Royals have reached agreement with free-agent outfielder Endy Chavez. Terms of the deal were not immediately announced. Chavez would likely serve as a fourth outfielder behind Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain, and Jeff Francoeur. Chavez hit .203/.236/.278 with two homers, 12 RBI, six doubles and three steals in 2012 with the Baltimore Orioles. In 2011 with the Texas Rangers Chavez hit .301 with 11 steals. The Royals were 72-90 in 2012 finishing third in the American League Central behind the Detroit Tigers. The Royals have been aggressive throughout the off-season having traded for Rays pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis, making a trade with the Los Angeles Angels to acquire Ervin Santana, and re-signing starter Jeremy Guthrie. GM Dayton Moore is on record as saying the moves are about winning more games in 2013, although some fans were upset the Royals gave up top prospects such as Wil Myers and Jake Odorizzi

Let me illustrate the dog/ wolf/ wolf subspecies relationship with these Venn Diagrams:
Picture One illustrates the relationship between Wolves (A) and Dogs(B), where (A intersect B) approaches 100%. When and if the intersecting section is 99.80, that is an average, and the remaining .2 (or whatever the current answer is thought to be) cannot be identified repeatedly in any 2 random specimens. Note one set is not a subset of the other set, ie. A is not a subset of B.
In the larger olive section of Picture Three (as in Picture Two), we are getting closer to the complete 100% overlap of 'dogs AND wolves'. The blue and yellow sections would in total add up to the .2 (or whatever the current answer is thought to be) rotating/moving difference between wolves and dogs. Ignoring the other little circles here, I think this is a realistic representation of the 'set of Wolves' and the 'set of Dogs' genetically where dogs are variants or a 'variation' of wolves.
Picture Four might be an illustration of Canis lupus (Genus species) in grey and any 2 subspecies in red and orange. Note that they (the subspecies) ARE complete subsets of the supergroup (species) as is required of a subspecies in modern phylogenetic systematics. Note this SUBspecies relationship is quite different than that of the dog/wolf relationship where dogs are variants or 'variations' of wolves as in Picture Two.

Launching a new fund at a relatively unknown fund manager? How do you make a splash? What about returning over 70% in the first 14 months? It might sound unlikely, but that's just what Miton has achieved with its CF Miton UK Smaller Companies fund.
While you may not have heard of the Reading-based firm, chances are you know of the fund's manager Gervais Williams. Formerly of Gartmore, Williams has a solid reputation as a small-cap stock-picker. In fact, says Jeff Prestridge in The Mail on Sunday, Williams, who meets up to seven companies a day, has made "hunting down under-appreciated British smaller firms a personal passion".
While the fund is in its infancy, accordingto Trustnet.com it has delivered 59.5% over one year, compared to the 32.2% returned by its benchmark IMA UK Smaller Companies index, and 74% since launch.
The question, says Prestridge, is whether the fund, which has an initial charge of 1.5%, can sustain this. After all, UK smaller companies put in a particularly strong performance in 2013. Williams, who thinks the fact that many Aim stocks are poorly researched means there are rich pickings for those prepared to do some legwork, thinks "we're at an early stage of a multi-year period of small company outperformance".
According to Miton, around 80% of the fund is in Aim stocks, while 9.6% is in FTSE small-cap shares, 2% in the FTSE 250 and around 4% in cash. The fund should suit investors looking for greater exposure to UK small caps.

Siliconera: The very first thing I noticed in Strider worried me: I couldn't use the D-pad to move. It was analog only. I checked the pause menu for a toggle, and even asked the attendant, but there was no way to move digitally.
However, when I started moving Hiryu around, my worries melted away. He's fast. Faster than he is in Strider 2. It's not just his speed that gives this impression, but the fact that certain things that felt a little bit jarring about older Strider games have been smoothed out. For instance, the time between the end of Hiryu's slide and his return to quick movement has been decreased. Whereas a slide would lead to a brief stop in Strider 1 and 2, that delay is gone.
FINALLY side scrolling games making a comeback. day 1 for me.
all we need now is CONTRA,R-TYPE,GRADIUS,EINHANDE R,METAL SLUG,GUNSTAR HERO.

The judge in Drew Peterson's trial has decided to allow five of the 13 hearsay statements prosecutors hoped to use in their case against the ex-Bolingbrook cop.
Judge Stephen White ruled Wednesday that Peterson likely murdered his third and fourth wives, Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson, respectively. Peterson is currently charged in the 2004 drowning death of Savio. He has denied wrongdoing in both cases.
According to the Chicago Tribune, statements White ruled admissible include:
• Savio's statement to her sister Anna Doman that "Drew said he's going to kill me and I would not make it to the divorce settlement, I will never get his pension or my children."
• Two of Savio's statements in 2003 to Mary Parks, a classmate at Joliet Junior College, that Peterson "could kill her and no one would know" and that Peterson entered Savio's home, pinned her down by her throat and asked, "Why don't you just die?"
• Stacy Peterson's statement to her pastor, Neil Schori, that she saw Peterson return home late, dressed in black and carrying a bag of women's clothing, shortly before Savio's body was found.
Two written statements by Savio will also be allowed.
Peterson's case was slated to begin July 8, but was delayed due to an appeal for hearsay evidence by the prosecution.
