Bubinga Shells
The Tama Starclassic Bubinga Shell Pack features 8ply bubinga construction in a thick format to allow the drum to achieve a full, balanced tone. 53 percent harder than maple and birch, the bubinga shells provide a sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lows. The shell pack also uses Evans drumheads for a sharp, accurate response on each drum. The rack and floor toms feature Genera G2 2-ply clear batter heads and Genera G1 1-ply clear bottom heads for the perfect combination of durability and high-quality sound which complements any drumming style or genre, whilst the Starclassic bass drums are fitted with Genera EQ4 clear batter heads.
High-Quality Components
The Superstar Hyper-Drive also features Zinc Die-Hoops which have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops, offering crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots. Die-Cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Starclassic Bubinga's claw hooks offer rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings. The Starclassic Shell Pack also features Air Pocket™ rubber feet on the floor toms for elimination of vibrations to the ground, resulting in increased shock absorption for better playing.
Perfect Foundation Setup
The Starclassic Bubinga Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with add-on drums and holders. When paired with high-quality cymbals, hardware and a snare, the Tama Starclassic Bubinga offers a great experience for intermediate to professional drummers, offering the high-quality components and features required for higher end drumming.

Conditions right for Goulburn Murray burns
More than 30 burns are planned across the Goulburn Murray region over the next few days.
The Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) says conditions across the north-east should be perfect this weekend for the burns.
The DSE says the burns in the Murrindindi, Goulburn, Upper Murray and Ovens fire districts will range in size from five hectares to 1,500 hectares.
The north-east DSE area manager, Peter Farrell, says the burning program is being run earlier than usual.
"Everyone knows we do have limited opportunity to do burning," he said.
"We've consistently over the last few weeks, we have a bit of rain then it dries a bit, then we have a bit of rain and it dries a bit.
"This is really the first time that we've had a reasonable period of dry weather where the fuels have started to dry out and we can conduct our burning program."

This is an original art piece by Jeanette Morris in 1970. It is a portrait of a young woman. My guess of media would be oils on heavy paper. The paper has yellowed but I believe the painting is even more beautiful due to the dark rusts and oranges used in this portrait. Overall size with mat is 17" X 14" and art piece is 16 ¾" X 12". There is a rip on border of picture but does not show in front - only from the back.

These are the Best Open World Games For PC
1. GTA 5 – Game
GTA 5 yet the best open world game for PC we believe. It was launched back in 17 September 2013, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and it takes almost more than one year to come to PC, it began in April 2015 for Microsoft Windows. It is the successor to the previous variant GTA 4, which is also a good open world game you can play. The game is based on first-person or third-person, the game can be played by both. Player can run walk and-and use any vehicle for transportation. You can freely move around explore like real life. It contains some amazing missions that makes your mind more sharper while playing this game. You can't kill people or harm people like real life world else cops will catch you, just fight or run away like an NFS car chase scenario, you can drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. Also, this game feels like a best open world game for PC you can play. It got really good graphics you will make you feel like real life.
2. JUST CAUSE 3 – Game
The Just Cause 3 is developed by Avalanche Studios, which is not well known in the gaming industry but they are creating some best stuffs. The Just Cause 3 is also a best open world game for PC in our list. It is a fictional game; the game is set on an island named as Mediterranean island. It offers same map size than its previous version Just Cause 2, the new Just Cause 3 covers around 400 square miles which are approx (1,000 km). If we talk about the game which little differs than GTA 5, the concept of both games looks similar, but the Just cause has little changes. The Just Cause 3 offers some excellent destructive weapons; the player has the capability to explode petrol stations, can destroy the bridges, statues and many other things in the game. The player can be stable on the top of the vehicle, airplane, etc. If you decided the jump from the sky, then there will always be a parachute, which will help to the land safely.
3. Mafia 3
The best open world game for PC Mafia 3 game, which we can also call as the successor to the Mafia 2 game. The Mafia 3 game is set in 1968 New Bordeaux city which is a fictional version of New Orleans city. The game offers very much new things to explore. The game shall be fixed in the stealth mode where the player has tactics to kill the enemy without letting them know. The player can use various weapons, like a very dangerous shotgun, revolvers, etc. The players can enjoy various old model cars, because as we all know the game is based on History, so we can only expect some hall of fame cars and other stuff too. But as per our experience with Mafia 2, we can say that the game will be top in class, as far as graphics concern, that looks pretty impressive. The game was announced at Gamescom 2015 with an awesome cool trailer.
4. Fallout 4 – Game
Here we have another extreme high-end best open world game for PC, named as Fallout 4. The Fallout 4 comes with amazing graphics. The game is the fifth installment of Fallout series. The game is set in Boston city in the year 2287 and shows the scenario after 210 years of a massive nuclear war. So Let's talk about what makes the game more interesting? The best and most interesting part is the ability to free roam anywhere as per map. The player can explore various locations; the player can change weapons any time when needed. The player can build or deconstructs building as per the choice in the game. The fallout 4 has no level restrictions, and the game correctly does not end if you have completed the full story of this game.
5. Far cry primal
Ubisoft is shaking things up yet again in the Far Cry Universe with Far Cry Primal – which takes you back to ancient times to play as a mountain man attempting to make due in a complete outsider world. There are no autos, no weapons and a lot of creatures who will be very glad to tear you to shreds.
To put it plainly, it looks splendid, and it's incredible to see a noteworthy distributor accomplishing something other than what's expected with one of their greater properties, regardless of the fact that the majority of the components in play are at any rate to some degree recognizable. It's a tremendous and stunning looking PC game, so generally, it will look as incredible as could be allowed on consoles, but if you try this game on PC, then it will be gorgeous than console platforms. So that' the reason we put this as one of the best open world games for PC.
6. Saints Row 4
Saints Rows 4 is also an amazing open world game PC in our list. Volition develops the game. The player is free to explore anything in the game. Most of the time, the player will be busy in either shooting or in a racing event. The game is based on Alien and Zombies environment so that you can expect some fantastic sci-fi weapons in the game.

The player can walk around the building can jump on the buildings. If you are a Sci-fi game open world game lover, then you must give it a try for sure.
7. GTA 4 – Game
The game is downgraded variant to the GTA 5, but the main reason to keep this game on our list is still the game looks beautiful and real competitor to some of the best open world games for PC present yet in the market. The game offers real life game play like you can free roam anywhere in the city. The player can snatch any car, or we can say any vehicle in the game to enjoy the fast riding experience, and also player should get ready for massive accidents. The player can jump from the top building with a parachute and if you are without a parachute then prepare to die. You can also get trains and fighter planes in the game. As you all know the GTA series is a gangster based game so you can expect some fantastic gangster related missions like killing, sex, drugs, and cops chasing.

Running applications not showing on taskbar - Please help
I showed some work colleagues that it is possible to set up a Windows 7 taskbar to look like the Windows XP taskbar. IE. No pinned apps, and one application for each instance of an open application.
That was my downfall. I guess that good deeds aren't always rewarded.
Anyway... I now have a problem that since I changed my profile to the Windows Classic profile, things went wrong for me.
I no longer see my running applications on my taskbar, and I can only switch between apps by using Alt+Tab.
Screen Snapshot shows Firefox open, but not showing on the taskbar. Typically I will have something like 10 or 15 applications open at a time, and it's a real pain in the but to have to Alt+Tab to switch between them.
I have tried so many different things to fix the problem, that I can't remember them all, but here are some:
Is there anything else that anyone can suggest that I try to fix the problem?

I just listed some of my scented crinkly ribbon tonight in my Etsy shop. I also have 4 new choices in 1" that are not shown here. There is silver cream, dark turquoise, plum pink and chocolate truffle to choose from. I've been experimenting with scent on fabric/ribbon and my next batch will be strawberry rose scented. It's so wonderful! I can't wait to try it out.

Sometimes we just get lucky and have time for a cycling adventure on a crisp pre-fall morning. 60 degrees at the start and 77 degrees three hours later — it doesn't get better!
There are so many good routes to take in Burnet and Llano counties that it is sometimes hard to decide. My time limit of three hours and John Chalmers (we being a couple of the HillyBikers) suggestion of the "Oatmeal Loop" fostered a quick launch that direction. Heck, it's not the destination or even the route, it's the ride that matters. Continue reading "Oatmeal is good for you, especially on a cool fall bike ride"

Help students become "self-regulated learners" with the CTL's Spring Reading Circle. We will be reading Creating Self-Regulated Learners: Strategies to Strengthen Students' Self-Awareness and Learning Skills; the description is below. The Reading Circle will meet on campus three times (once a week for three weeks). In order to find a time that works for as many people as possible, please indicate your availability in this poll, by no later than next Wednesday, Feb 1 (note there are a lot of options so make sure you expand the full table and the dates listed are only the first week but we will meet the same date/time for the following weeks as well). Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the book and the opportunity to connect with other teaching-minded colleagues in a casual environment.
To sign up, review the description, email the CTL Director, Jennifer Imazeki, to let us know you're interested, and then go here to indicate your availability. Spaces are limited, so don't wait too long to reserve your spot!
From Amazon.com: "…deep, lasting, independent learning requires learners to bring into play a range of cognitive skills, affective attitudes, and even physical activities – about which most students are wholly unaware; and that self-regulation, which has little to do with measured intelligence, can be developed by just about anyone and is a fundamental prerequisite of academic success. Linda Nilson provides the theoretical background to student self-regulation,the evidence that it enhances achievement, and the strategies to help students develop it… Recognizing that most faculty are unfamiliar with these strategies, she also recommends how to prepare for introducing them into the classroom and adding more as instructors become more confident using them."

Sweet Spring : Taiwanese Delights
Posted by nigeleats at Sunday, February 26, 2012
One of the brands under Fish & Co, Sweet Spring's like the eastern counterpart of Fish & Co serving up chinese (taiwanese) desserts and dishes. They are known for their desserts, especially snow ice, but offer mains, sides and dim sum as well so that you can have a complete meal.
In the background is Lychee Snow Ice where we tried and unanimously agreed that the Mango & Strawberry Snow Ice is still our favourite. You can order them separately or half-half and have the best of both worlds like the one in the photo.
In conclusion, I would recommend you trying out their speciality and bestseller - Mango & Strawberry Snow Ice - if you pop by Sweet Spring for desserts or a meal. You'll love it.
Thank you Xue Li from Fish & Co and Sweet Spring for the invite!

Recommended Eats At Greenwich V
Posted by nigeleats at Monday, February 20, 2012
First up, at the Empire State Restaurant, their signature Empire State burger. A big burger, created to satisfy anyone's burger craving, it features a thick, succulent beef patty, flavourful strips of bacon and a whole lot of fries. This burger will surely satiate the burger monster in you. Alternatively, you can ask for a change from beef to chicken if you can't take beef for any particular reasons I think.
Next up, Smoked Duck Salad With Citrus Dressing at BBQ Chicken. Tender and juicy smoked duck paired with vegetable and a citrusy dressing, this appetizer will certainly rev up your appetite.
Let's not forget about the Hot Hot Drums too shall we? These red fiery looking drumsticks do live up to their name; Mixed their own special hot and spicy recipe from Korea, they pack a punch. Be warned, the courageous, the hot sauce will leave a burning sensation on your lips. However, do try it if you are up to the challenge because the crispness of the drumsticks are retained even with the generous coating of hot sauce on the outside. Delicious.
Moving on, we have frozen yogurt - the healthier alternative to your junk food snacks and a favourite amongst many. Berrylite has up to 50 flavors of yoghurt for your selection that they rotate fortnightly! We tasted 5 out of the 50 : Irish Mint, Red Velvet, Cookie n Creme, Strawberry, Original.
Don't hesitate, I would say, if you're a fan of mint and is thinking of getting a cup of Irish mint yogurt; It's nice, you'll like it.
I'll recommend the strawberry flavor if you like all things strawberry or is craving for something different but go ahead and stick to the original if you prefer your yogurt a little sourish.
That's all for now as Greenwich V have yet to fully open up still. I'll be back to try out mooshi bakes, a sister store by Awfully Chocolate and Quiznos!

I mentioned in my previous post that I visited Greenwich V last weekend to attend 'The Greenwich V Experience' event and there are 3 shops in particular that I would like to share with you all. They are, namely : Nuts & Nibbles, Toast Box and Paradise Inn.
Nuts & Nibbles has been around for awhile now, they have several other outlets at different malls and yes, they specialise in the sale of nuts. I wouldn't say all but you are likely to find all the common types of nuts available in the market here if you ever need to satisfy the squirrel/hamster in you.(: Nuts are great health food to snack on if you're feeling a little hungry in between meal times because they are highly nutritious but be sure to limit your intake because they are pretty high in calories as well.
It was my first time trying Paradise Inn's dishes last weekend and I tasted dishes such as their Salted Egg Yolk Prawns, Supreme Fried Rice and others. Their Supreme Fried Rice deserves a special mention. It indefinitely a bowl of seafood fried rice and it wasn't as fragrant as it looked, to be honest but I like the unexpected addition of fish roe. It certainly help to provide some form of crunch.

Last but not least, we have Toast Box. Toast Box, a name that will not be foreign to many and especially so when they serve up food that are close to our hearts - chicken curry, laksa, kaya toast and many others. Their curry chicken is one of their signature dishes and is on the slightly sweeter and creamier side so non-spicy eaters you can dig in without any worries. Another of their signature dish is the peanut butter thick toast. Toasted and lightly buttered before slathering on a thick layer of creamy and chucky peanut butter, the glossy, melty peanut butter will be too hard to resist!
Well, that's all for this post. I'll be posting up another post on the recommended foods to try out at Greenwich V soon, so stay tuned!(:
Greenwich V @ Yio Chu Kang - Seletar : Omy.sg 'The Greenwich V Experience'
Posted by nigeleats at Monday, February 13, 2012
Greenwich V, pronounced as gran-niche V not green-witch V, is a newly built and very recently opened mall near my place and I had the privilege taking part in 'The Greenwich V Experience' in the form of an amazing race as my first visit there last Saturday afternoon. Organised by omy.sg and sponsored by the Far East Organisation and several participating outlets at the mall, there were a grand total of 15 bloggers and 3 teams. We gathered at the Empire State Restaurant as our first stop.
We started off with a most wonderful lunch sponsored by Empire State Restaurant, serving up their signature Empire State Burger to us that was bigger than our faces and consisted of a big thick slice of juicy, beef patty. We loved this burger to bits; everything was right from the cheese, strips of bacon, the hamburger bun and most definitely the patty. We also had spaghetti and pizza; what a full-filling first stop!
This amazing race, for safety purposes, wasn't about speed and time but we had a time limit to guess 10 clues which will bring us to our next stop/shop and we would have to complete a task there. At the end of the race, we were to upload a photo from each shop that best represents the shop and come up with a well thought caption with it.
Let's not bore each other with the details but rather let the photos do their 'a picture a thousand words' role, shall we?

Well, there you have it! 11 shops, 11 photos, 11 captions, 3 teams of winners. Yes we won 1st place but all 3 teams were winners! We enjoyed the good food, learned about products and services and all 3 teams walked away with goodie bags, and vouchers to spend at Greenwich V because of the generosity of Far East Organisation.(:
'The Greenwich V Experience' was a one of a kind experience where I indeed had fun getting to know other bloggers, learn more about this new mall near me that I'll be visiting in the coming days again and everyone walked away a winner at the end of the day.
Thank you omy.sg for this fun and fulfilling day at Greenwich V, Far East Organisation, the various participating outlets for their time and our gamemaster Alvin for being a nice and friendly guy, coordinating this event!
Roming Italy : Rome (Day 2 & 3)
Posted by nigeleats at Saturday, February 11, 2012
Sorry for the long pause after writing on Milan in Day 1. The morning of Day 2, we moved on from Milan to Rome via rail on the Trenitalia train.
Beautiful sceneries - green pastures, herds of sheep, horses, farms - flashed by as we sped towards our destination.
It was late afternoon by the time we got to Rome and when we were out on the streets of Rome, it was dusk already. It was so beautiful as the rustic looking buildings and street lamps stood under the pale yellow sky, I was mesmerized.
We wandered into the Pantheon as we roamed the streets of Rome. The intricately designed dome in the interior of the Pantheon was stunning.
We visited the Trevi fountain.
And walked to another fountain where there was a mini pasar malam kind of set up around it.
On the 3rd day, we moved into Hotel Lodi which is a a budget hotel in the neighbourhood of Rome but has a very ncie owner and kind staff. Pretty spacious rooms, clean and internet access is provided!
It was decided that our mission on the 3rd day was to explore Vatican city before moving on to the other major tourist attractions in Rome. So, off we bus-ed to Vatican city.
Once we reached Vatican city, we got off and drank from their 'water cooler' there! Yes, it's for drinking and that's how you drink.(:
Our first stop at Vatican city was St. Peter's Cathedral before which, we had to get to St. Peter's Sqaure first.
St. Peter's Cathedral's huge and so intricately designed. Imagine the painstaking hours, effort and manpower need to construct all that.
However cold it may be, while you're getting to the Vatican Museum, remember to look out for the Old Bridge Gelateria at the side of the road! My first cone of gelato in Italy and it certainly left an impression on me.
The Gallery of Maps (last picture) was definietly the highlight of the trip at the Vatican Museum; 40 maps frescoed on the walls and a celling with beautiful paintings was beyond impressive.
This post is day 2 & 3 of my Italy trip. 7 more days to come, so sit tight and stay tuned!
God bless.

Why Robin van Persie will finish as top goal scorer at the World Cup
Complete odds for World Cup top goal scorer can be seen here.
In the history of running this betting tab on 101gg, our most successful bet has undoubtedly been tipping Marcus Berg to finish as top goal scorer in last year's UEFA Under-21 championships. The Swede was 25/1 and we made a hefty profit which we have squandered countless times since. (See this article for proof).
The upcoming World Cup features some of the most exciting talent in football history. Potential all-time greats Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo lead the way but there are goal scorers wherever you look. There are though countless reasons to ignore many of the favourites.
Spain pair David Villa (10.00) and Fernando Torres (12.00) face a relatively easy group against Switzerland, Honduras and Chile but they will share the goals between each other and the rest of a very talented side. Many will cite the fact that Villa finished Euro 2008 as top goal scorer but this was with a measly four goals and Spain's record at World Cups is poor.
Second favourite Lionel Messi (11.76) will also receive a lot of backing. "The Flea†has been the best European-based player over the last two seasons and should rip the defences of Nigeria, South Korea and Greece to shreds in Group B.
But, Messi isn't playing for Barcelona at the World Cup and is featuring instead for Maradona's Argentina. Besides their unpredictable coach, Messi has failed to replicate his club form at international level and he could well be the player who provides the most assists rather than scores the most goals. Gonzalo Higuain at 19.00 may be a better bet whilst Diego Milito, who was incredible for treble winners Inter Milan, is priced at 33.32.
Of course, many will place a punt on Wayne Rooney (12.00) so this seems like a pertinent time to point out that the Manchester United striker has not scored for England in his last five appearances. Wazza was a picture of frustration in the last two friendly games against Mexico and Japan and could well pick up a crucial red card as he did against Portugal in 2006.
A number of the other heavy hitters come from "The Group of Death.†Luis Fabiano (13.00), Cristiano Ronaldo (17.00) and Didier Drogba (21.00) will all have a hard time to bang in the goals in Group G except for their games against North Korea. And one could also argue that Luis Fabiano struggled for form in the second half of 2009/2010, Liedson is a better bet than Ronaldo for Portugal as he leads the line and Drogba may well set up a lot of goals for the likes of Gervinho and Aruna Dindane.
Which leaves us with a number of also-rans (according to the bookies) and Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is well placed at 22.08. Due to his ankle injury last November it has been forgotten just what great form RVP was in before his lengthy lay-off, for the record he had scored seven goals in eleven Premier League games before he succumbed to injury playing for Holland in a friendly against Italy.
The Dutch hitman has also shown admirable recovery powers since returning to action in April. Van Persie scored in Arsenal's final two Premier League matches and also claimed an excellent brace against Mexico last week. He has looked in great nick in recent weeks and will be eager to prove himself and should have the legs to do so after an extended absence as opposed to many who will turn up in South Africa after long hard seasons.
Holland face a very winnable group against Denmark, Japan and Cameroon and Bert van Marwijk's side are shaped around Van Persie. Flanked by Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben and the selfless Dirk Kuyt, the Arsenal hitman can't fail to bag the goals in South Africa.
In recent seasons Van Persie has visibly improved his right foot which allied to his stunning left means he can score with both feet (see his double against Mexico). He can also score headers, as he did against Blackburn in the penultimate Premier League game of the season and with two of Europe's form players in Sneijder and Robben backing him up he should be presented with plenty of chances.
Of course, betting on top goal scorers has a large element of risk, injury or poor form can hit any player, even if their name is Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. The bottom line though is that the bookies are seriously undermining the goalscoring prowess of Robin van Persie and you can make a nice tidy profit.
You're welcome…
101gg predicts: Robin van Persie to finish as top goal scorer in the World Cup (22.08).

Each brew day there is a mountain of spent grains left over and it seems like such a waste to just throw them out. Some people use them as a special treat for their chickens, others compost them, and the number one brewer in my life has been dropping hints for a while now that these grains should be used in baking. I decided to experiment with some grainy beer crackers. For these crackers I used the grains wet, straight from the mash tun, but I have also dried some grains to be used in baking adventures for another day. Here's what I did…
What you'll need:
- 1 cup grain (straight from the mash tun)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp salt (plus extra for sprinkling on top before baking)
- ⅔ cup beer (I am lucky that there is always a keg in the garage, so I used a hoppy home-brewed Pilsner, but any beer will do!)
- Olive oil for brushing onto the crackers before baking
For extra KAPOW!
- Crush garlic into olive oil before brushing onto crackers. Sprinkle with salt.
- Or, brush with olive oil then sprinkle with caraway seeds and salt.
- Or, just use salt – yum!
What to do:
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
- Combine the grains, flour, and salt. I did this in the food processor to get the grains a bit finer, but you could also do this the good old fashioned way with a bowl and a wooden spoon.
- Add the beer and mix until a dough forms.
- Turn your dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until the dough becomes more elastic. If the dough is too wet add more flour.
- Wrap your dough in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for half an hour.
- Take a chunk of dough (roughly ¼ of it) and roll it out on a floured surface. After some trial batches of different thicknesses, I found that the dough has to be rolled really thin (about 1mm) to get crispy crackers. If you want a cracker that has the texture of an over-cooked thin pizza dough then go for 2mm – It's up to you.
- Use a big knife to cut the crackers into the shapes that you want. My desired shapes for this batch were rectangles. Next time I might get more adventurous and use cookie cutters to create Batman-style batarangs and throw them at people as they walk by, then catch the batarang in a big bowl of hummus when it boomerangs back to me.
- Next, put the crackers on a baking tray lined with baking paper. They don't really expand so there's no need to space them out too much.
- Here is where you can let your creative juices flow and chuck whatever you want on them (see suggestions above). No matter what you put on there, I do suggest brushing on olive oil and sprinkling with salt.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden. This really depends on how thin you made them so keep an eye on your first batch and adjust the cooking time accordingly. You don't want them undercooked because the middle of the crackers might be a bit chewy rather than crispy, but then no one likes crunching down on a piece of charcoal either. I went for golden crackers with browned edges – perfect!
- Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Put the next batch in and watch your cracker pile grow!
These crackers are very moreish, and I will definitely make them again. Next time I might try to make a shorter dough that resembles more of a cookie mixture than a pizza dough. I kept the dough mixture pretty basic for my first attempt at these grainy beer crackers and the flavour of the hoppy beer with the grains and salt were such a good combo, but playing around with the flavours of the dough (such as adding rosemary) would be tasty.
If anyone I know in the Auckland area wants to grab some spent grains from the next brew to try make these just leave me a comment and we can sort it out with the Y I Brewing boys. I only used a small fraction of the leftover grains, so there is plenty to go around.
If you have any ideas for what flavours I could try next time, let me know!

i want to add a list of vimeo video in a ajax portfolio gallery, exactly like this site http://omarramirez.net/cms/ (check the first element).
How can i do it?
I have to put it in the preview text area with a shortcode (because if i understand, at the moment is not possible to have the vimeo video in the preview gallery)?
In this case, how can i set, by custom.css, the container in order to fit all the space like the one in the site?
thank you!September 6, 2013 at 5:33 pm #139784
Hi Christian Ronchi,
You would need to customize the ajax function like that user did in the portfolio.php shortcode file (in config-templatebuilder>portfolio.php). Your best route would be to contact the site owner and ask if they can share their customizations with you.
DevinSeptember 20, 2013 at 9:39 am #163972
Oh Come on Christian, really I need to contact to Omar, to know how to put video inside an Ajax Gallery?September 20, 2013 at 3:20 pm #164081
Hi nicolasweh,
The reference version of enfold is a customized version that has functionality the theme does not. So if you wanted the same customization for free the best route would be to contact the user who did it to begin with.
DevinSeptember 20, 2013 at 3:32 pm #164086
Sorry Devin, I'm 24 hours with this theme, and 5 days since I started with WordPress, I did not realize I was asking a flying elephant, I think that this is very basic request and that you could avoid me the walkaround .
Do not worry. NicolásSeptember 20, 2013 at 3:59 pm #164092
Sorry again guys, but I don't understand how can you make something that
should be crystal clear, it may confuse so much.
I mean to the Youtube Icon issue, or the header options, How can I have the
social Icons without the need to repeat the header menu because the
adittional navigation??
5 header types and no one with a true option to show only socail media
Icons. I don't understand of code. And I'm so confussed, this is heartbreakingSeptember 20, 2013 at 4:09 pm #164096
I got a private message from Nicolas, but I see some other people may be interested in my workaround, so I'm posting my response here. I think you'll find the answer here:
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -builder-in-ajax-preview/
You basically have to force it to stop from defaulting to image previews by getting rid of the area that shows them, which alters the layout a bit, but opens up space for Vimeo or whatever video/content you want. I think the code modification provided by Dude in the link was what did the trick.
And cut the support team some slack, they're super helpful if you ask for specific technical issues. You'll have to dig around and try things out a bit.
– OmarSeptember 20, 2013 at 4:23 pm #164098
Thanks for the update Omar!
I'm going to close this topic for now since its somewhat getting off topic and duplicating the feature request topic is not something we want to accidentally fall in to.
@ nicolasweh – If you have issues just make a new topic with your issue and we'll address it there. The theme doesn't have every single possible option or variation on layouts yet but everything it does have is shown in the theme demo and we can assist in getting any of those features set up.
The topic 'Vimeo Video on Ajax Gallery' is closed to new replies.

Jonathan Ott Quotes
While public school history courses in the United States stress the horrors of the German Nazi murder of 6 million Jews and Josef Stalin's pogroms against racial minorities and political dissidents in the Soviet Union, the facts that the U.S. Army's solution to the 'Indian Problem' was the prototype for the Nazi 'Final Solution' to the 'Jewish Problem' and that the North American Indian Reservation was the model for the twentieth century gulag and concentration camp, are conveniently overlooked.
I firmly believe that contemporary spiritual use of entheogenic drugs is one of humankind's brightest hopes for overcoming the ecological crisis from which we threaten the biosphere and jeopardize our own survival, for Homo sapiens is close to the head of the list of endangered species.

Police in Mesa, Arizona, affirmed Friday that previous Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals tight end Todd Heap inadvertently hit and killed his three-year-old daughter with his truck, as indicated by ABC 15's Clayton Klapper and Joe Bartels.
The mischance allegedly happened on Heap's carport. Per Fox 10 in Phoenix, the casualty "was taken to a local hospital, where she later died."
Police likewise said "there were no suspicious circumstances to the incident, and that impairment does not appear to be a factor." The Ravens released a statement with their condolences:
Stack put in three years with the Arizona State Sun Devils before he was chosen in the first round of the 2001 NFL draft by the Ravens. He joined the Cardinals in 2011 and resigned after he was discharged by the Cardinals in December 2012.

POLICE are searching for a man who tried to coax an 11-year-old boy into his car before chasing him near Cairns on Monday afternoon.
The 11-year-old was walking along Anzac Avenue in Mareeba about 3.30pm when a white Toyota Landcruiser station wagon pulled up next to him.
The driver, described as Caucasian in appearance with a tanned complexion and 173cm tall, then told the boy to get in and opened the car door.
When the boy ran away, the suspect - wearing a green T-shirt and jeans - chased the boy before giving up and returning to his car, driving off.
The boy ran to his mother's workplace and reported the incident.
Police are appealing for assistance.

Wok to Walk – restaurant review
Small orange boxes could soon be a familiar sight around Park Street with the opening of Wok to Walk, a restaurant and takeaway that has already got dozens of franchises across the globe from Bulgaria to Saudi Arabia.
It's inspired by the street food of South East Asia, with each wok stir-fried in a cascade of flames seconds after ordering.
The premise is simple. Choose your base; either noodles or rice in various forms. Choose your favourite fillings, including meat, mushrooms and vegetables. Then choose your sauce which comes in various levels of hotness. You can also add toppings like fried onions or sesame seeds.
With a base costing £3.95 and fillings up to £1.95 for the duck breast, it can add up to around a tenner for your box – double the price of a similar size meal from Chilli Daddy which also encourages you to mix everything in to one big smorgasbord.
But what a mix it is. I took my takeaway box home and tipped the contents out where they barely fitted onto a plate and even then were piled high.
The whole-wheat noodles with fresh vegetables and egg were chewy and soft, and it was a pleasant surprise to see whether fork-fulls would contain succulent chicken breast or tiny shrimps, my box further complemented by a tangy Shanghai sauce of black beans and soy.
I also added cashew nuts and broccoli to the mix (to reach the advised maximum of four), with the addition of fresh coriander adding an even fresher flavour.
So get used to those orange boxes. Wok to Walk is worth the walk.

Clive James Wants Young Australians To Know How Lucky They Are
23/08/2015 10:01 AM AEST | Updated 15/07/2016 12:51 PM AEST
Cayla Dengate Associate Editor, HuffPost Australia
At the close of his life, terminally ill writer Clive James looks at young Australians and wonders if they know how fortunate they are.
The much-loved poet, presenter and critic said he had to leave our shores to appreciate Australia.
"I thought Australia was a little dull when I was young, but that was because I was a snob and I learned better when I came away," James said in an interview, airing Sunday afternoon on ABC News 24.
"But if I hadn't come away, I wouldn't have realised that the world is not like Australia.
"How do you tell the young in Australia how privileged they are? Well you can't really."
In the extended interview, James also spoke about his attitude to death.
"These books are all around me and they'll be here when I go, and I'm that sick, I just don't know when it ends," James said.
"So it raises the question: what do you do? Do you lie down, give up, read the bible, or do you go on as you were, reading and writing? I've done the second."
The full interview airs Sunday, August 23 at 4:30pm AEST on ABC News 24.

%P 352 p.
%T "The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security"
Those in the security field know that Kevin Mitnick does not deserve
the reputation he has gained as some kind of technical genius. His
gift was skill as a social engineer. Stripped of the five dollar
words, this means that he was a plain, old con man, cheat, or fraud.
In other words, this is a book about how to fool people.
Theoretically, the determined reader should be able to use the book to
keep from being conned.
In the preface, Mitnick would have us believe that, although he admits
to being a fraud and deceiver, he was never a grifter. He never
harmed anybody, never obtained a material benefit, and was just
curious to see if he could ride the buses for free (at the expense of
the transit system) or make calls for free (at the expense of an MCI
customer). (The willing moral blindness of these assertions is
possibly the most instructive part of the book: it is truly
representative of large portions of the blackhat community.) He would
have us believe that he is a "changed person": one of the most sought-
after computer security experts world-wide, and the world's most
famous hacker. Oh, and just in case the authorities are inclined to
think that this book runs counter to the injunction that he not profit
from the stories of his criminal exploits, the tales are all
completely fictional. Trust him.
Part one is entitled "Behind the Scenes." Chapter one states that
people are security's weakest link. This is a truism well known in
the field, but the first account is really about insider fraud, while
the remainder are generic fear-mongering.
Part two describes the art of the attacker. (At great length.)
Chapter two depicts escalation or enumeration through social
engineering, and points out that sometimes innocuous information
isn't. There is a section on "preventing the con" at the end of each
chapter: in this case we are told not to give out information, but not
provided with any advice about authenticating callers. Similarly,
chapter three says that sometimes attackers just ask for access or
information and says to verify callers, but doesn't say how. Chapter
four tells you to distrust everyone--which would probably be more
damaging to society than social engineering. (Interestingly,
yesterday a report came out about studies of "freeloading" in the
animal kingdom, which notes that communities with too many non-
contributing members tend not to survive. By extension, only
societies with an overwhelming majority of trustworthy members exist
for any length of time.) The prevention bit tells companies not to
have people give credit card information over the phone, but stresses
teaching employees about cons rather than policies. At about this
point the text, which is very repetitious, throws in some minor
technical details. This is enough to remind the professional that the
book is designed for the naive user, with extremely lightweight
analysis, and implications that would not be useful. There is more
repetitive redundancy in chapter six, on the way to some useful
information about fraudulent email and really lousy data about viruses
and malware, in chapter seven. Chapters eight and nine are simply
more of the same stories, which start to get very tedious.
Part three is apparently supposed to help us detect intruders.
Chapter ten has a little useful advice about having termination
procedures. The major points in chapter eleven seem to be about all
the people who have been mean to our poor Kevin. Then it is back to
the, by now extremely tiresome, con jobs for another three chapters.
We are intended to believe that part four will help us protect
ourselves and our companies against social engineering. Chapter
fifteen is an attempt to convince us that the book should be purchased
for all employees. (Nice try, Kev.) There is an arbitrary, and oddly
both generic and overly detailed, suggested security policy, in
chapter sixteen.
So. Security professionals already know about social engineering. It
is unlikely in the extreme that even the most head down, don't-talk-
to-the-users, socially maladept firewall administrator will learn very
much from this book. But, of course, this is not a trade paperback.
This is a hardback aimed at the mass market: the non-professionals.
Will they learn anything from it? Well, it might be useful for
teaching new tricks to those who like to con people (although
fraudsters will likely be disappointed at the number of times it is
assumed that they know how to reprogram DMS-100 switches: don't try
this at home). The prevention sections, as noted, are big on "don't"
and short on "how not to."
Well, but the book can still be a fascinating read, can't it? Sure.
If you're the type of person who finds humour in watching someone fall
on his or her face. Over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over again ...

The first thing we learn in this new book from Naomi Novik is that the Dragon doesn't eat the girls he takes.
He's not actually a real dragon, he's a wizard and the local lord, but every ten years he picks a seventeen year old girl who stays with him for ten years. They all say he never touches them and at the end he gives them enough silver that anyone they'd want to marry would be happy to overlook any doubts, but none of them ever want to come home and marry anyway. They leave. The Dragon protects his lands, and the kingdom in general, from the evil magic of the Wood and the things that come out of it.
This year's girl is different. She's been chosen because she has a talent for magic herself, and therefore the Dragon is obligated to teach her.
This book is just generally brilliant. You can feel its roots in folklore at every turn, yet it remains wonderfully fresh and inventive. The world is intriguing and the characters feel real, and are a joy to spend time with. I had trouble putting it down, and I read it mostly at the ALA Midwinter Meeting with interesting new books all around me. I'm very disappointed that right now all I have is a self-destructing e-galley and I'll still need to get my hands on the real book months away.

Since its arrival on US shores in 1905, pizza has risen from an obscure ethnic food to an iconic symbol of American culture. In August 2009, Colin Hagendorf set out to review every regular slice of pizza in Manhattan, and his blog, Slice Harvester, was born. Two years and nearly 400 slices later, he'd been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Daily News (New York), and on radio shows all over the country. Suddenly, this self-proclaimed punk who was barely making a living doing burrito delivery and selling handmade zines had a following. But at the same time Colin was stepping up his game for the masses (grabbing slices with Phoebe Cates and her teenage daughter, reviewing kosher pizza so you don't have to), his personal life was falling apart. A problem drinker and chronic bad boyfriend, he started out using the blog as a way to escape - the hangovers, the midnight arguments, the hangovers again - until finally realizing that by taking steps to reach a goal day by day, he'd actually put himself in a place to finally take control of his life for good.
©2015 Colin Hagendorf (P)2015 Tantor
"Hagendorf nicely captures the evolution of some of the city's neighborhoods and their pizza joints." (Publishers Weekly)
"...Hagendorf's life as a punk rocker who is struggling with alcoholism is movingly shared by Wayne. His skillful transitions through the many topics give the work an intimate tone.... This tasty memoir leaves everyone hungry for more." (AudioFile)
"A little bizzare but in a wonderful way"
Story of a guy living life, loving pizza and finding a passion while throwing in a healthy dose of humor and personal experience. a pleasure to be taken along for the ride! I own a pizza place in Maine and would love a visit from the 'harvester'

Colon arrives to A's camp, along with SS Nakajima
Shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima made a point of walking across the
clubhouse to greet pitcher Bartolo Colon.
The new face of the Oakland Athletics' infield, and an old,
familiar one.
Nakajima arrived in the desert Jan. 31 to get acclimated and
acquainted with his teammates, while Colon showed up Monday eager
and thankful for his own version of a fresh start. The right-hander
received a 50-game suspension last August for a positive
testosterone test and missed out on the thrilling finish to 2012 as
the A's rallied back over the final 10 games to steal the AL West
crown away from Texas on the season's final day.
Colon still must sit out the first five games of the regular
season to complete his penalty. Now nearly 40 – his birthday is May
24 – he received a $3 million, one-year deal in November.
"Nueva temporada," he said in Spanish – a new season.
"I'm happy," he said in English.
The pitcher has yet to formally address the media since his Aug.
22 suspension, and gave no indication that he would do so any time
"We know Bartolo and he knows us," pitcher Jarrod Parker said.
"We don't need him to prove or make any statements or anything
like that. We know who he is and how good he is out on the field.
So we're not pushing him for anything and I know he's going to
address us, and he'll do it as he wants to."
Colon alternately clapped his hands to his thighs and talked
aloud to no one in particular as he crossed the field just in front
of the mound through a heavy rain to have his physical in the
visiting clubhouse. He re-emerged some 90 minutes later.
How'd it go? "I don't know," he said, raising his hands and
shaking his head as he walked back, gathered his belongings and
left Phoenix Municipal Stadium for the day.
Manager Bob Melvin isn't worried about Colon getting right back
in the flow with his teammates.
"He fit in very well here before and I see that being the same
case," Melvin said. "He knows most of these guys and they all
liked him very much and got along with them all and actually was a
nice little resource for our younger starters. So, I don't see any
problems there."
With his suspension, Colon lost the remaining $469,945 of his $2
million base salary for last season. He also earned $750,000 in
performance bonuses based on starts and $150,000 based on innings,
which were not impacted by the suspension.
The Miami New Times reported late last month that Colon and
other major leaguers bought human growth hormone and other
performance-enhancing drugs during 2009-12 from Biogenesis of
America LLC, a now-closed anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables.
Colon's teammates say they have moved on from the suspension,
even if he won't be available for the first five games this
"I love Bartolo. It's awesome," closer Grant Balfour said. "I
just gave him a hug right there and said, `I'm glad they signed you
back.' He was a huge part of our team. That was a misfortunate
toward the end of the year. You think to yourself, `Hey, if we had
had him,' because he's a great player. He was missed. … He's a
strike-throwing machine. I've got no hard feelings. It's over. It
is what it is. You can't hold grudges on people for the rest of
their life."
A two-time All-Star with a 171-122 career record, the burly
right-hander went 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA in 24 starts for Oakland
last season, his 15th in the majors. He won the 2005 AL Cy Young
Award after going 21-8 for the Angels.
Nakajima said hello to Colon and several others on Day 1.
The shortstop is thrilled to be done with 7-hour spring training
days in Japan that include just a 15-minute break for lunch.
"They make you push and your body is very sore," he said
through interpreter Hiroo Nishi. "I really wonder how it's going
to be. This two months is going to be a very important
experimentation period for me. I just can't wait to get my arms
through the uniform. I can't wait to get started."
He spent the past two weeks getting to know his teammates in the
desert before the first workout for pitchers and catchers Tuesday.
The full squad doesn't practice together until Sunday, though many
position players are already in camp.
Nakajima wants to leave little to chance, getting a head start
in everything from fielding grounders and taking batting practice
as he adjusts to his new baseball surroundings.
"He's smart. He knows that getting here early and getting to
know everybody will cut down on the time where he feels like he has
to fit in," said Melvin, reigning AL Manager of the Year. "It's
something we're very cognizant of. It's not easy to come over from
another country and be expected to do what you do on the field and
still have to get acclimated to all the other things, and I think
he's combatting that by getting here early and learning quite a few
Also Monday, free agent left-hander Hideki Okajima agreed to a
minor league contract with the A's pending a physical, which could
take place as soon as Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the
negotiations said.
Notes: RHP Michael Ynoa is still in the Dominican Republic with
chicken pox, delaying the start to his first big league camp. It
could be six to 10 days, Melvin said. … RHP reliever Andrew
Carignan threw off a mound twice last week for his first bullpen
sessions – 20 pitches each – since undergoing Tommy John elbow
ligament replacement surgery June 19. "It's a big step," he said.
"It's probably the biggest one I've had since June." … 1B/DH
Daric Barton is sporting a three-month-old beard, which he trimmed
Monday morning. "Sometimes I find a little peanut butter and jelly
in it," he said. … LHP Travis Blackley added more than 20 hours'
worth of new tattoos. The Australian had color added to existing
body ink on his left leg and right arm. "I got a few. I don't
count them in numbers," he said. "They all blend in. I stayed
away from the neck. I'll stay away from that real estate for a
while." … INF Scott Sizemore and wife, Brooke, are awaiting the
birth of their baby girl – likely within the week. Sizemore
suffered a season-ending left knee injury during the first
full-squad spring workout last year and underwent surgery to repair
a torn anterior cruciate ligament.


text: I made about 20 wordpress blogs for low competition keywords because i need traffic for an information product. The blogs are german and the competition is extremly easy. So i started with one blog 1 week ago and submitted 2000 comments with scrapebox. They were probably submitted correctly (i submitted to my own blogs for testing, too). Right now i have just 16 backlinks found, none of them indexed in google. I pushed 300 submittings on the other domains, too. All of them are new domains. (How much submittings do you find after a week normally? The rate should be worse in Germany). I already invested about 10 hours in learning to use scrapebox. I also have an full time phillipine who doesn´t speak german and need work for integrating him. He knows SEO Basics. So i need advice, no general bullshit, specific actionsteps! I will have the next ~12 month just a one average a 1mbit connection because i am travelling. I am willing to spend money in programs. What do i do (i have 160 hours a month) and what does my phillipine do?
